For anyone who finds gemstones interesting, you should look up the star garnet! It's the official state gem of the Gem State (Idaho), and the only other place it's found in the world is in the Himalayan Mountains. :D

Haha, I moved to Finland 16 years ago so I love that Caldwell's tried lonkero (the long drink)! If anyone's wondering, it's a gin drink. The original is gin and white grapefruit, and the second rendition came out with cranberry. Nowadays there are a lot of flavors though. And Jake's not wrong... lots of Finns probably do drink them at 8 a.m. There's a big drinking problem in this country x)

I've not watched White Lotus, but when they mentioned the girl with interesting teeth I immediately thought of the right person because I also knew her from Sex Education
Victoria Shotts
Guys, I know I'm super late to this, but Long Drink is Gin and that's why it's more distinguished!! Caldwell is being wrongfully razzed
Claud Josh
Emily's wlw characters always make my bisexual heart soar.
William Holland
I've decided what I want to hear most in this campaign is Boggy "pitching woo" to an NPC. Hearing Caldwell try to flirt as Boggy would be hilarious to hear.
Alexis Bryant
I work for the superior courts in the NJ - and Fez hats lately are synonymous with sovereign citizens. So whenever I see one, I know it's going to be a time
Ahmad Al-mousawi
Wow the spoilers in the and made me mad (just kidding)
Alex W
LOVE a Long Drink, the only gin drink i can abide by
Zippidi Skibidi
The canned Long Drink is absolutely delicious
Beluga
Crow-tuah bitcoin, How I wish to invest now, Please do not rug pull. -haiku by me
Alex Mangin
Fun facts about Chartreuse! It not only was created by monks but they kept the recipe to themselves in a sheltered monastery in France and to this day they still take a vow of silence and make Chartreuse out of local plants (hence the natural bright green colour)
Taylord
Skaldova map when 👀
Declan Konesky
Long train of thought here...and kinda irrelevant...but I'm watching Hacks right now and I'm getting such college humor vibes. I think it's the writer room scenarios and em/murph early romance vibes. Para social nostalgia or am I just really baked? Lol
Adam Scull
Jake. I don’t know if you knew or not but amethyst is supposed to promote safe travels. So it’s kinda cool it’s in there
Evan Schmidt
Got hyped as fuck when Caldwell mentioned the Finnish Long Drink but tbh he didn't describe it well, it's pretty much a boozy grapefruit soda! It actually tastes very similar to Squirt, really refreshing
Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord
I would buy a NADDPOD fez!
Felix Adams
We had such a wild short rest last week that hearing this one talk so much dnd that I had to check I didn’t skip a short rest😭😂😂
Ian Mcilwean
A Finnish long drink is gin and grapefruit soda. The cranberry is just a twist on the orginal drink. I don't know if that makes it more appealing but I used to drink them all the time.
John Brownlee
shout out to biking along the C&O canal!
Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Congrats to Jake on his first article publish, love a good Jake Take.
I LOVE Aimee Lou Wood and was thrilled the world fell in love with her. I'm very excited to see her star power soar
Alec Rudek
For the love of God PLEASE bring back cinnamon and his good bois
Doctor Ransom
Emily always is tuned to the good good shit with Sex Education, shout out to Ncuti Gatwa and Aimee Lou Wood! Also big bartender hug to Emily, Naked & Famous is one of my favorites. Here’s the recipe if you want a kick ass libation when you’re chilling in your Carnal Corner! ¾ oz Mezcal ¾ oz Yellow Chartreuse ¾ oz Aperol ¾ oz Lime Juice Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe
Pali Endi
Throw an egg white with some yellow chartreuse, serve it up *chef kiss*
Ross Berens
boggy is such a glue guy
NathanS
my river story✊
NathanS
i live by a river that does not flow/connect to an ocean in any way
Allen S
I would describe the Long Drink more as an alcoholic Fresca.
Xaiver Broadhorn
Maaaan hearing my name be the name of someone thats a piece of shit and bad brother suuucks man. Feels weird saying this but i hope the cast kicks Braxtons (mine) ass
Michael Beck
Amethyst might be something boggy is into because it was held as a charm in Roman times to ward off hangovers and being too drunk
Christian Wade Miller
The Naked and Famous is the shit. Equal parts mezcal, aperol, yellow chartreuse, and lime
Dag Swanials
Bravo to the whole cast! Loving these characters and Jake has made an amazing world! Amazing!
Dag Swanials
Loving this mini campaign also! Gotta shout of Caldwell, I love him as Boggy
Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Congrats to Jake on his first article publish, love a good Jake Take.
https://youtu.be/LI0GBaEMX_c?si=7no_4D2ib7Yvc9o3 since Caldwell didn’t do his second plug, let me sneak in and add one! deep blue ink uploaded a naddpod animation today!
Paavo Rahman
Finland mentioned! I think every fin +18y has tasted long drink (Lonkero).
Ross Wright
I'm curios on yalls thoughts on the new runescape game
Alexis Rausch
As an archaeologist, I'm mad that I agree with Caldwell's last statement
Michael P Mendoza
Full heartedly agree, WE NEED MORE ZU CRU!!!!!
Michael P Mendoza
I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who likes interesting teeth
Pop
Welly is just constantly down bad
Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Congrats to Jake on his first article publish, love a good Jake Take.
Zudrick's gone full yellowjacket
Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Congrats to Jake on his first article publish, love a good Jake Take.
yes! winter is my solitary, cocoon activities. I live in the PNW so we have a limited good weather window, it can make indoor stuff feel not as good to engage with knowing i only have 3 months of outside time to enjoy
Jorgus
i need emily to play cinnamon again, he was so fucking funny
Luke McKay
There was no boggys bud's story this week and I am heartbroken
Terrell Swanson
I'm with Murph, EverQuest is still fun. I just made a new character in EQ2 after so long and it's great
Lin Michele
I agree. I feel like I'm in a period movie because I just sip it straight from a tiny cordial glass.
Ben Heggen
Mine too! The story behind it is so cool as well.
Keith robinson
I was thinking healing potions tasked like amoxicillin. That very tasty pink medicine that I loved to take as a kid
yeow
Murph, as a fellow hockey fan, the Finnish Long Drink was brought over to the States commercially by former Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask.

“amazing voice, immaculate vibes, disturbing surprises” stealing that phrasing to use as my bio on dating apps
Thermovore
I’m loving Skaldova so much. Jake is such a good DM, I can’t believe it’s his first go of it. Welly is adorable, Zudric is charmingly bizarre, and Boggy is genuinely my favorite ever Caldwell character. Amazing voice, immaculate vibes, disturbing surprises. It’s the full package. Thanks so much for all the work you’re doing on this side quest. I would listen to a full campaign of the Zu cru
Lindsey
A game bar with game/drink pairings is actually a really solid pitch, i'd invest (some eggs)
The Grinch (feral)
Personally I imagine that healing potions taste like children’s liquid Motrin. It’s like a very distinct sweet taste that’s like good but weird but kinda addictive??? Idk I was mad when I had to switch off of it to Big Boy Drugs™️
Alec Krance
Murph, you should try Pantheon Rise of the Fallen. It's meant to be a spiritual successor to EverQuest
Lin Michele
Chartreuse ! my favorite liqueur 💚
Ellis Meredith
@Emily I also save video games for winter and just indulge
