I'm now on the Murderbot Diaries train.

RoadDietsRule

It’s currently April 21st 2023. I started my Naddpod journey in September 2022 and I am finally caught up. All eps, and campaigns, and all the extra bits. I feel so empty having to wait now lol

Guilherme Farias

Anyone else mad at how Jake pronounced biopic?

Leo Gabovich

No Yugo?

Jake Malott

Please please please do an 8BBC episode on the new Mario movie!!!!

Jake Malott

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HAHAHAHA im so glad someone else heard that !

PLEASE tell me Demigods being trapped into a true death is a segue into Eldermourne. #themurphverse

Javan Thomas

Callie is the best ally the creator ever had

Yarger the Pirate

emily, you're absolutely right, a genuine heartfelt "i'm so sorry"/"that really sucks" is like, the best most supportive thing to hear when you're going through it 🥲

Dana A

Tonathan Tinkle would be a perfect choice imo

Crits

Now that they talked about the Astral Plane mess being important to this campaign, once Jake goes on paternity leave, Murph needs to run a Level 20 Arc featuring Moonshine, Bev, and level 20 Mavris and/or level 20 Apple Scrumper.

Surprised they didn't connect that the automatons voice is basically just Murph-Bot hahaha

Jovi89

Callie's "emotionless/cold" voice just sounds bedroom sexy whisper to me? Am i rotten inside?

Gurl Luigi

A little side note, there is in fact a TMNT villain that is basically the Turtle Catcher! The Earth Protection Force, or EPF, is an MIB-esque organization wants to capture the turtles for being (what they believe to be) aliens! They are lead by John Bishop, who would by all accounts be the 'turtle catcher' in the scenario. Sincerely, a turt fan

Holy shit I fucking love murderbot too! Gonna comment and maybe rec a long way to a small angry planet. Great books.

Kaileigh Rose

The devastating truth is I came here to say this exact thing hahahah

Kaileigh Rose

Staggered that caldwell didn't know that stuart little isnt a mouse at all, but in fact a human child who was born tiny and mouselike.

Humble Goblin

Is the ninja turtle STD called Cowafunga?

Adam Sutton

What does it say about Murph that when he pictures Fozzie Bear, he pictures the one from Muppet Babies because adult Fozzie doesn’t have a propellor hat.

Jordon Brown

I hope Murph does some spelljammers ship stuff when they get to the astral plane.

Alex Thompson

I have a grievance(not serious )with you murph, you robbed us of an on screen death of old Cobb. You specifically said at the very episode 26 that you would NEVER give old Cobb an off screen death(just heard it on the nth re listening to the band of boobs) That being said. Loved it. I aspire to be a dm like you and Emily

Colton Merrifield

The mousers in tmnt were originally made for pest control in the sewers. They might be onto something with their theories about Shredder.

David Kuckuck

Murph should check out the red rising series! It's a dope Dune-game of thrones like, space opera epic!

My dream is that we get a peak at what Moonshine and Bev are doing during Jake’s paternity leave..

This week's episode and short rest were a therapy sesh. Thanks guys. The poetic/literary divice where the vowels in stressed syllables are the same, but the endings of the words are different, is called assonance. Also commonly known as a slant rhyme.

ShezInJapan

Some real top tier improv in this ‘sode. Especially loved the TMNT arc bit!

Lil poetry info: Live/Nips is a slant rhyme, yes. But it's also an example of assonance, which is maybe what Murph was trying to think of? Where the vowel sounds in the middle of the words are similar, even though the consonants on either side of the vowel in both words are different.

Andrea Quinn

Caldwell just making up new pronunciations of words on the spot and confusing everyone for a minute... honestly iconic

Lucas

Shout out to all the DMs out there who couldn’t think of any other encounter that would be fun for sewers once they thought of a wererat and its 4 teenage Sahuagins. Also shout out to NADDPOD making copyright scare jokes after Donkey Kong AND Sonic the Hedgehog one-shots

Jonathan H.

I think they need to do Ninja Turtle one-shots or live shows now.

Petri, no not that Petri, the other one.

“Anyways… the f’n ninja turtles!” Idk why that made me laugh so hard lol

Derrick Collins

Let’s go back to yesteryear. When mr Murphy says and I paraphrase ~”I’m not gonna give ole Cobb an off screen death”~ circa 2018 maybe definitely Pre-covid probably

Champ wild

The Locked Tomb series is 100% the fantasy sci fi combo murph's talking abt!!!

Isadora Fonseca

It's nice hearing Jill make an appearance for the first time. Now we just need to meet Tucker

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

We stilllllll want them dice

Wags

I learned on my geek podcast that apparently TMNT was censored in the UK bc of 'fear of eastern martial arts' to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles 🤣

Dr. Bearkele

In TMNT 2: secret of the ooze shedder does basically kill himself with the dock. Because of backlash by parents groups to the first movie being violent, the turtles NEVER USE their weapons in the second movie and most fight scenes are very cartoon like

All Pulp! No Juice!

That ratatouille bit reminded me of the Real Estate Agent episode of Jake and Amir... Ben: You've never seen a rat be a chef before? Jake: That was in a cartoon. Ben: Yes, but a dog animated it!
