Anyone else notice at 34:30, Caldwell brings up how many monsters try to swallow the PCs in campaign one and asks Murph what that’s about, but Emily cuts him off to change the topic. Seems like Ol Hugh Caldwell may have been getting a little too close to the truth.

Monster m-80 80%pineapple juice sooo good

Michaela

I have recently became a Monster gremlin, and for diabetes reasons I'm a diet/zero sugar drink kinda person. (Why waste insulin on a drink, yknow? This way I can have a Monster AND some cake for the same amount of carbs, I digress.) I love the Strawberry pink can one, despite its numerous attempts on my life, but mainline tropical, that lime green color one, and the orange one. Monster is...... really great

Ethan Mann

Whenever y’all do the numetal energy drink bit it tRaNsPoRtS me back to going to mayhem fest for multiple years, where Rockstar energy drinks are free and bottled water is 6$

Summer Tribe

i'm well aware but that's a small upside in the face of everything else. good party positioning is important anyway

Helen Dingo

Flash of Genius has a range of 30 feet right from 7th level, whereas Paladin Auras only have a range of 10 feet until becoming 30 feet at 18th level.

Summer Tribe

it's odd that they throw so much praise on Flash of Genius, like yes it's good but their last main campaign the same person was playing a fucking paladin, which is just flash of genius, all the time, for everybody, without needing your reaction.

uhh no one else was made uneasy with that haunting scream at 8:28? It’s like Fea/Endoterra leaking into the reality of the short rest

Kathleen Boyer

One of my college rugby friends was in Supersized Me as one of the kids interviewed. I think it was traumatic for her. A couple years ago she got that stomach shrinking surgery and lost a lot of weight. She's a wonderful person and was beautiful before and after the surgery and I wonder how much her choice was influenced by that film.

best monster is the white one, drunk at twenty past eight in the morning, still cold from the corner shop fridge

Jessica Cooper

The monster juice line is fucking excellent. The pipeline punch used to be my shit but the knew peach one with the butterfly's on the can has become my new #1

Lisquander

When I was in highschool, McDonalds was still selling those 100-Nugget buckets. We’d crush those after wrestling practice 🥲🥲

Olivia C.

Grape kickstarts are the best energy drink I've had. Like a melted grape popsicle mmmmm

Justine

I'm not sure that chronal shift was even a possibility, RAW, for changing Henry's card result. (Luck checks are distinct from ability checks, right?) Regardless, totally agree with Emily that it worked out perfectly!

1man2hands

Wendy's drink sizes are still like... one size up from everywhere else and I always forget that. Also the dollar menu (at least at McDonald's) hasn't existed for what feels like it must be a decade now.

Julie V Eckert

I just discovered the blue low-carb monster energy drink and it is for sure not as fun but for only 30 calories and 6 grams of sugar it's pretty dang good. If u haven't had a regular monster for a while it hits the same spot almost. Yum yum, monster energy.

BRayne7

So Emily, I think your best options are the Monster Rehabs and Monster Javas (if only because those are the ones my stomach can tolerate) for getting Monster drinks. On another related note, this episode inspired me to check the Jalapenos drink menu and they seem to offer a Monster Margarita not a Red Bull Margarita now

Michael Lawton

Holy Big Bud!!

Patrick Strickland

Murph! I never write on the comments and I enjoy Naddpod so much. Just one point, just the one. Please read the first three Dune books, you will not be sorry!

Jack Campau

please please please mixed bag dnd food court

Timothy Schmitt

Monster Import🤘🏽

Georgia

Delightful! I absolutely got my shit rocked in a collision by a fuck-off huge suv while listening to this, but you know. I enjoyed it up until that point.

Is Phillip the incarnation of every murder hobo ever?

ChimiChangle

Pressing 'F' to pay respects to Murph's voice during that episode, good lordy. Powerful yells

Garga Lenoir

I'm not sure drinking blocks of sugar would be amazing radio though let's be honest...

I can't believe y'all didn't talk about how they're making alcoholic mountain dew

Stephen Jay

I’m sitting here at work, editing my photos, drinking my Monster. I feel seen by this ep and I love it 😂

Mike Cathcart

Have you had the new Mtn Dew Rise, Murph? I've been trying those lately and they're actually really solid. Also, can we get some more gas station chain discourse? I'm in upstate NY so I'm partial to Byrne Dairy but whenever I go to PA, I'm a Sheetz fan over Wawa.

Courtney F.

Rockstar? AMP? Bawls? Cocaine? Monster and Red Bull are garbage. This short rest reeks of energy drink amateurs. Did these guys even go through high school/college in the aughts??? 🤣🤣🤣 (/s for anyone taking me seriously!)

Parrot Paramour

Never had a monster in my life but you know I'm setting up a tasting rack if they do the mixed bag.

Jacob Kerpan

Don't recommend anyone drink a monster but the monster rehab isn't nearly as bad, they have a tea and lemonade one Emily might not absolutely hate.

Sophie Cook

Emily saying "I don't... I don't like sweet drinks... mm... they make me frown" was possibly the cutest thing I've ever heard. I had to just pause it to give myself a moment. She is so precious

Dylan Irish

There is a guy on TikTok who is a sommelier and he uses his knowledge and talents to do review on solely energy drinks. He tells you what notes he gets on the smells and tastes. It’s really entertaining. Bigsommenergy is his account name if anyone is interested.

Doug C.

Antonio Inoki references? In my short rest? (Inoki was trained by Rikidozan, who an ethnic Korean)

Gumbercules

Binky Fiasco

Hollie Tawhiao

This podcast crew gives me Centaurworld vibes in their cockooness and I love it

frazninja

Jake laughing at the fancy dunkin donuts joke when it was his joke 😂 😂 😂

Science the rat

I’m so excited for next episode now. I already was but new characters, ahhh

Emmie

Monster Somms unite! Mango loco is the best one. The ginger ale one is also pretty dope.

Nesve Fowl

Cannot wait for the new characters!

Lol I recently did something similar to the Monster tasting. A buddy of mine was infatuated with “Whiskey Dew” (just mountain dew mixed with whiskey), so we accumulated as many different flavors of Dew as we could find (I think we got 11). Then built flights, named each concoction, tasted, and ranked. Hope the monster taste test becomes a thing.

Skyler Morford

Such a good episode, Emily if you are reading this you can finally play you skeleton Barbarian who soaks in milk oh I hate that I forgot their name!

Axel Ottel

Same here, damn you Murph!

I’m so sorry. Long time listener and patron, first post. Murph…. DUNE bro… DUNE…

GREYFOX!!!!!

Will there be a monster spit bucket like in whine tasting??

St Avrel

I love the short rest cuz of the off topic tangents y’all go on! It’s great to get some insight into yalls lives

Dave 3D Art

Stoked for the new temp characters.

THANK YOU FOR THE DUNE BRAINS

Nathann Morais

Emily described the build that I'm obsessing over for weeks, fighter 3 arcane Archer / artificer X battle Smith. Looks to be soooo fun, and I want to build it inspired by the dungeons and dragons cartoon so I'll be firing arrows with repeating shot and have a unicorn for steel defender

Potato Muffin

I fully blame these idiots for the reason I've been drinking Monster energy drinks again

Kenna Evans

I remember I had a history teacher in high school who drank a full 6 pack of mountain dew per day and absolutely no water and had some SERIOUS health issues because of it. Real dedicated to the brand tho.

lloyd hernandez

Is Murph a fan of the Bang energy drinks?

Lisa Lundgren

Omg I really want them to do the energy drink review mixed bag! I’ve tried like…60? different ones because I’m a professor and a tired person who wanted to be wired before teaching. I decided to record myself drinking them and give them ratings on Instagram 🤦‍♀️ Spoiler alert, I don’t! like! any of them!

Mick

Ease off the trial mix, and add some jerky to your journeys! There are so many great types, and it kills the hunger! Also, if you get the chance, check out the Australian soft drink: Solo. It will change your life.

Nick

Murph you have to try the Lo-carb compared to the green monster. The green one is sickly sweet in comparison.

Slippery Pete

I hope Caldwell or Jake play the ogre

Christopher Lasasso

Please do the energy drink as a mixed bag idea !

Bernat García

I get so excited everytime you guys play new characters!! Creating em is such an awesome part of the game! Great idea btw

mail daddy

I drank a Monster Rehab every morning for the first year and a half I was a mail carrier. I’m ready for the monster mix bag

Noodyl

3 minutes in and I'm revelling in the chaotic energy!

hell

also ok one more thing that isnt simping for emily: is being/becoming a dragoon just a title? in my mind it involved some kind of transformation/brainwashing either in putting on the armor or in the initiation, but that may just be the influence of other dark fantasy evil militia tropes

hell

emily hears a dm say “what are you gonna do? you’re just stuck watching and you can’t do anything” and immediately goes “oh yeah? watch me”

hell

i feel like fia dimension-dooring the ogre out is emily’s “go on, dm, tell me i can’t” moment a la the thunderstep max damage moment from acoc

David Allison

Fun fact: up until fairly recently, Campari got its color from dye extracted from crushed beetles. Jake's Negroni might have already had bugs in it before he added more.
