Short Rest: C3 Ep. 33: Mounting Crows

I’m very late but it’s absolutely insane that Emily doesn’t remember Moonshine mispronouncing Jaina’s name in C1. It was constant lol

Jenna Jones

oh my GOD this just unlocked a deep visceral memory: the taste of plain, untoasted strips of bread sprinkled with salt. mcdonald's why did you do this to children.

A Wilhelm Rest - I see you, Caldwell!

The Grinch Tried to Pump my Gas in Jersey so I Put the Car in Reverse

Anyone else notice jake speaking in caldurs tone of voice sometimes as hardwon?

Sean

With this new party name, I'm holding my breath in anticipation for a Reeva reference from Hardwon

I long for my easy bake oven. The new ones seem much safer. Honestly? Make easy bake unsafe again.

Kaileigh Rose

Am I crazy or was it stated in an earlier short rest that the Bronzebeards were partially inspired by the O'Doyle family/lineage from the Happy Maddison movies?

As a Miami Dolphins fan, I would say I was more Tua-ned in to this episode

Matthew Hagler

When they were deep in the fry and Easy Bake discussion, did anyone mention Fry-an Murphy? Seemed like an easy grab! Love it as always, best part of my week!

It's comforting to know that Caldwell and I have eerily similar tiktok fyps (with people making food from '90s toys not the hentai(

Olivia Hill

I'd get a Happi meal.

Evalina Vix

So does hardwon no longer have his lightning javelin? They didn't mention that he went back and picked it up after throwing it. Murph said he doesn't usually track ammo like arrows and stuff but given its a chase scene it would seem weird if he still had it after throwing it and bouncing

Hardwons Left Quad

The fact Emily who doesn’t know a lot of references but knows who Tua the starting QB of the Miami dolphins is blew my god damn mind

Adam Blacharski

Appreciation thread for Emily being goddamn awesome <3

They're also on the apple podcast app

Crits

As a fellow corolla fan and owner I want to know what year model and make Murph and Emily have

I love Math and DND, so I decided to calculate the approximate equivalence of a copper piece in 5e to dollars. I took the prices from the cost of common goods table in the players handbook, namely a lb of Rice, a lb of beef, a gallon of milk, two dozen eggs, and 60 gallons of beer. I compared and averaged prices from all around America including CA, NV, and MI. I compared these prices to their DND value and found their prices per copper. The results were wildy inconsistent, but averaged to $1.62 per copper piece.

:( wish the 8BBC eps were easier to watch, I think they’re only accessible on spotify now? I want to return to Pacland and get chomped

Clay Gibbons

To immediately be a pedant, 1cp is $1, 1 sp is $10, and 1gp is $100. Hope this helps!

Gearbox

This episode and short rest, like all others, was perfect

Erin Paxson

The gang went to Kongo bongo island again

Ian Hanson

The No Intro energy makes them forget they are doing an aftershow

YourAnimeDad

The Wilhelm Scream opener was terrific, Caldwell.

Max Herzog

I think we had the spider maker thingy in the 80’s(or something like it). I’m with Caldwell and Em on the mini meals. They could lean into smaller portions being healthier for you.

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

☝️ @Summer Rose I'm the same, I love 8bbc and similarly have practically memorized my favorite ones at this point, still listening to them regularly - I love the sonic fandom parodies, pacmans xmas, & donkey kong ones, I cried laughing - WE WANT MOAR 8bbc! <3

I am personally offended by hearing yall call 8bbc "our old podcast that no one listened to". I still go back and listen to old episodes! The warcraft ones I practically have memorized at this point (as a WoW player of 17 years, they make me so happy)

Summer Rose (Grantaire)

Tastes like nothing

The best 90s dangerous toy was metal molder! It was a litteral mini forge!

McDonald's is leaving money on the table by not allowing me to just quietly get, like, *a* McChicken. I don't want to have to *tell* someone all I want is a single McChicken. I would use a McDonalds vending machine in quiet shame, I guess I'm saying?

Allen S

I’m pretty sure in the McDonalds convo Emily briefly proposed McDonalds selling mother’s milk for babies but it didn’t get the spotlight it deserves.

Robert

As someone who graduated from Pepperdine a couple years ago…. I wish a fucking Toyota would’ve been our valedictorian

My 20 year old car was just killed this week by a distracted drive. He was getting his doctorates 😭

GM

Miami has the dolphins~~

Dantes Gutiérrez

Emily/Moonshine definitely called Jaina Gyna 😂

Ryan

As a dolphins fan, I finally feel recognized

Can't believe Murph would come out so hard against the Croc stans 😂

Gafyn John

I totally remember the McDonald's food maker set thing. I think the directions said to put cinnamon and sugar on the bread, to at least make it taste like something other than plain white bread.

This is such mixed bag energy

Petri, no not that Petri, the other one.

Next 2 rolled gotta pull out “Shoutout to the Tua Crew”

Jack Malizia

You all owe me a new shirt I spilt coffee on myself laughing SO hard at the McDonald’s bit

Just......love this! 90's kid approved xoxo

A. Stamper

whatever cold brew fueled this mcnightmare I'd love to have on tap for my low energy days

joel

My god, I literally wept with tears listening to the McDonalds bit

wizard wearing a poodle skirt

Bordering on billion grills

Riley Holmes

Jake's "I thought you were a master?" When Murph said his world didn't have iPads and BMX bikes absolutely killed me

Fia L.

If I did my math right, a 10,000 gp salary would mean the blue crew made a cool $4.9 million/year at mothership yall
