So apparently Emily is absolutely correct. Detective Bosch's first name is Hieronymus

My issue with the Peter pan one is if I do fail, I then also have to pay the medical bill for the ambulance and hospital and that right there isn't worth the risk of being able to fly

I listened to all of these eps yesterday and I GOTTA tell you that Surprise Round gripped me by the shoulders with its furry grinchfingers and pulled me out of a really low mood I’ve been in recently. I wish there were like a million more for me to listen to

Inflicting the Grinch on guests is going to be funny literally every time it happens

That Peter Pan scenario was so fucking funny holy shit

I just did a Peter pan pantomime and having browsed the o g story he's a real shit so I don't think I'd even want to join that fucker

Or worse! They grab you by the collar of your shirt and say "My boss, the Undertaker, has been hunting John Cena for years. You need to tell me which way he went right now" and forces you to join their hunt for John Cena

doodoo house scenario reminds me of my sister's house in texas where the sewage is directly connected to sprinklers in the yard to be used as manure. and you can clearly smell it. literal doodoo house !

Impossible. No one has ever seen John Cena.

Given that the Flintstones were introduced to NADDPOD lore last time Ally was on I feel like there's a real chance Bosch is going to come back

These are some fucking TOP TIER questions. I was so pumped to see Suprise Round come back!!

Peter pan is in the public domain, and there is a horror movie version that just came out in January 🤣🤣

The Bosch thing is just a weird social experiment unless you get to their place and they have a Bosch styled triptych depicting the entire cast of characters of Bosch, then I think it's just an innocent hyper fixation on the Boschverse.

The Bosch thing is like Britta dating Subway in Community
just a little bawn
2025-02-03 09:57:53 +0000 UTC
I'm actually really sad they didn't do the one with the black lotus card I feel like because Beardsley is so into Magic the gathering it would be perfect for them to speculate on what to do in that situation
Abraham Mendoza
2025-02-03 04:42:00 +0000 UTC
This has really just convinced me I need to watch Bosch

I’m really curious! I like to imagine scenarios, but i never write them down. Hardest part is introducing new characters into the scenarios. Grinch and sonic are too well established.

They said “see you next week” at one point, so probably weekly. But please, posit your own version of this completely made up idea! There are no rules!
Tim R
2025-02-02 03:36:02 +0000 UTC
I love the foley of them fighting during these last couple episodes. I feel like it's the opposite of doing a visual bit on an audio medium (though that's also funny) where you're leveraging the constraints of the medium to make a joke. Makes me laugh every time.

I think these folks don't understand the recovery after a broken leg. Even if it's "set" and "healed a little bit" you still have to do months or years of PT. No thank you.

Take it easy there Caldwell “Will Graham” Tanner. Bunch of dogs in the woods.

I think I got it. At the Grinch’s funeral ask people to share pictures of the grinch and tell the story! Further proof that it’s really the Grinch without you being weird about it.

What if you tell your friend about John Cena killing someone and they look at you coldly and say, "I thought you said you didn't see him. Did you lie?"
Emil
2025-02-01 21:44:45 +0000 UTC
I would posit that the scuba grinch learned hand gestures to TRICK people like an angler fish

I know how the short film ends. It cuts to black and you just hear the "doo doo do do doo"s from Steve Miller Bands Fly Like an Eagle that then starts playing over the credits
Nick Lerche
2025-02-01 19:45:44 +0000 UTC
Oh for Cena I'm definitely not leaving my car. I drive home and I tell everyone that I helped Cena fix a flat and he gave me a hat as a reward and that's IT. I don't say a word about Cena murdering someone because if he finds out that I blabbed he's coming for me next

I basically have Emily's dream home. My apartment looks out into a huge wooded area but I'm only a 10-30 minute walk from anything I want

My grandfather died on Wednesday, but I never really knew the guy so in my mind, I'm imagining going to his funeral next week and I'm just imagining going to his casket and happening upon the Grinch, and turning to my father, like, "I'm a quarter Grinch and you never told me" all anguished like

I watched all of Bosch while sick and Emily is correct about his name

Ayyy Schenectady mention…one side of my family lives there and if mom was ever like “hey we need to go out to central New York, a family friend just passed away” and it turned out to be the Grinch I’d just be like, “yeah okay this tracks”
Eva Claire
2025-02-01 14:22:35 +0000 UTC
I'm pretty sure if you called the police, alone with a body in the woods, and you blame it on John Cena, the cops say "Well clearly you're crazy and you killed this hiker"
Ben Ramirez
2025-02-01 14:12:20 +0000 UTC
I flinched at that end stinger damn it

I don't know why random Bosch (on amazon prime) references on podcasts ALWAYS gets me. Bosch (on amazon prime) is just such a funny pull for me
Tijay Arnie
2025-02-01 08:58:31 +0000 UTC
The scenario about watching Bosch is the most ridiculously unhinged question/discussion I’ve ever heard. Love it. Keep it up!

let’s refer back to the Sophomore Year ribbon dance incident on that one

In no way shape or form is anyone jumping out that window after Tom’s demise. No way.

I think we have all been missing a huge loophole in the dream house situation, in that you can never be surprised by an intruder in your home.
As soon as someone breaks in the whole house stinks and you can flee to the panic room.

Thanks for that (stupid nude newt Gingrich)
Timothy Heller
2025-02-01 04:58:06 +0000 UTC
I regret to inform you all that while listening to them discuss whether there was a “nude grinch” my brain heard “Nude Gingrinch” and now all I can think of is a horrifying mashup of the grinch and Newt Gingrich. Who is nude. Again, sorry.

There's no world in which Beardsley, with their insane lucky properties, wouldn't be capable of flying if given the chance.

2025-02-01 03:39:30 +0000 UTC
Caldwell’s absolute refusal to grapple with these hypotheticals at face value and instead to insist upon 2-3 layers of his own added hypotheticals is always both delightful and maddening to me.

The Bosch one is just me (autistic) showing a potential date my hyperfixation 🤣

WHICH IS TO SAY I WAS WRONG...IT IS NOT LAME
Declan Konesky
2025-02-01 02:58:20 +0000 UTC
At the low end of average episode length (say 45m), a season of Bosch (10 episodes) runs about 7.5hrs. With bathroom breaks etc, a focus date runs roughly 5pm to midnight. Assuming you binge both Friday and Saturday, you could get through all 7 seasons in a month, and therefore probably feel less like you've wasted your life than if you had spread it out.
Katie Wilde
2025-02-01 02:47:15 +0000 UTC
Although honestly, it would smell like shit when you go to the showing, and you would only have the seller's word that it's not like that all the time.

I would assume the Grinch is my third man and do as he says.

Laughed too hard and had to ask a friend what she would do in the first scenario. Quote: "Obviously I propel myself towards the surface even more rapidly than intended when I violently shit myself at the sight of the wet Grinch."

I'm so fucking happy! Suprise Round is my FAVORITE thing they put out! When I heard they were doing it I literally shouted with joy. Never laugh as hard as I do with surprise rounds and I like to spring some of these questions on my friend when he's not expecting it. Always hilarious to see his reason when I get to the involvement of the grieve and he realizes that it's just a stupid question and not somthing important like I tell him it's gonna be. I've been waiting this whole month for this. And it drops while I'm drunk? Nothing could be better. Thanks Naddpod you always give me what I need.
