Re-listening to the hexbuds months later and all the toad jokes still crack me up

Curtis Hoeppner

The version of this ep in my podcast feed ended 13 minutes in. Murph was mid sentence describing how many feet Mark Cuban has. It was such a funny and perfect place to just stop that I'm almost disappointed there's another 35 minutes to listen to.

Shark tank feat. Centaurs feat. Mark Cuban would need a full horse shark also to balance out the horse human ratio. #teamtoad

Thomas Heniff

The toads joke is undying.

Hot and Dry

I don't get why this arc they've decided to fall in behind how Jake does his intros lol

Emily the fans need to know how far into Priory you are

Good Guy Josh

Do they know that’s not how hex works, if they are changing the rules that’s fine I just need them to know hex does not affect saving throws.

Doug C.

Also the Aztecs had a sewer system in Tenochtitlan

GREYFOX!!!!!

Murph I love the toads

Making my self loud and clear: The Toads are Hot

Autumn Beaudoin

try "coda lou" - that brought it up for me.

Elizabeth Lees

I replayed that part three times, I was laughing so hard.

Andres Rodriguez

Anyone know how to find Lou’s song on Spotify that he promoted at the end of this episode? Been trying to find it for a while and can’t seem to get the right search

Con

Surely you didn't actually miss the note they put in the description

Joey

I love Caldwell but I think Cameron Diaz brings a certain flavour to Eldermourne that I'm really gonna miss

I really enjoy the toads! I loved that they went full circle and stayed dry, made me snort laugh.

Victoria Shotts

Yeah only a time or two lol

Victoria Shotts

Murph enjoying the toad joke is the best! I adore people laughing at their own silliness. It's cute! And nothing wrong with having fun on the job haha Keep em dry Murphy 😜

Tyler Weikel

Don't sell it short. We love the toads

I don't want to be a tattle tale but Murph specifically called how over powered the hex stunning strike combo so I just want to say that hex does not give disadvantage on saving throws just ability checks they are completely separate categories

I hope the OG eldermourne crew run across the toads at some point. Instead of being dry, they'll be wet AF.

Debra Wasson

New cannon is that Bev was trying to steal the Watchmans undies xD

Trevor

The toads joke is absolutely hilarious. Please keep them dry

Tommy

The toads are hot as fuck

No Cool Name Ideas

Long live the toads

tacticalgrandma

Jake just a head's up- if you're level 11, you can use Hand of Harm on one of your Flurry of Blows hits wo spending a ki point! I'm playing a Mercy Monk atm too & it's rough trying to figure out all the economics -_-

Bryttany A

The toads is a great joke

Perryblinkle

Seconded!

I Love Not Finishing My Sentences

Long live #theToads

Pork Chop

I was listening while at work and I kept hearing shield wall and then shield wall with lances. And all I can think is... there’s a word for that. What was it. Now I remember it’s a phalanx. Not 100% sure if that was specifically the formation used by the Spartans but I’m pretty sure that formation is called a phalanx.

Adam Sutton

I’m STOKED for the original campaign, but I’m also so sad to hear there’s only two more episodes left of these Murderous Sweeties and their dry toads.

Austin Smith

I love the toads

Definitely love the toads

Brandon Wiens

BAHA! Back in time it would smell like absolute shit; you took a bath, what, once a month in the river?

theGRAINGERzone

Murph! Perhaps give the hex-buds a single legendary action during huge battles like the Gideon fight. It would show off their hundred years of experience as legendary fighters, give them a chance to fight the battle AND the boss and hopefully reduce the amount of thorns you throwing around at the start of an ep!!

I LOVE Jake fucking with the intro every damn time. It is so so good. Also, keep it up with the toads. It will catch on. I’m sure of it!!

Scott Allen

The road jokes are so damn HOT YALL

Saru

Totally agree with that! Even if the mechanic didn't work out 100% like planned, it's always awesome to have new mechanics introduced/ new stuff being tested out. Every time a new mechanic comes around I start making notes on how I can use them in my home games. Can't wait for the big army battle mechanic that Murph had prepped to come up in the future 👀

Addison E Hunter

Pretty sure certain Egyptian ages had plumbing, baths, and perfume

B.Holmes

These murderous sweeties have won my heart. ❤️

Amy Birch

Hey there Centaurs, in the UK Shark Tank is called Dragon's Den 🐲🐲 Surely that's something Em can get behind! 😀

John Wessels

Learning that hex can't do that as written was a sad moment for me as a warlock. It was in the same context with a monk and stunning strike too lol.

SaltyBurrito

Haiku for the next intro

Diana

I would just like it on the record that Lou's facial hair looks good 👀

Dani Sharkey

As naddpod's unofficial frog fan-artist and fanatic, I would like to formally apologize for not promoting the toad energy enough.

Fully I loved the battle and the fun thing about DnD is you can play it any way you want so it really doesn’t matter, but hex is for ability checks and not saves if you’re looking to balance the game a little better. It’s really good for when you want to grapple someone and give them disadvantage on strength, or disadvantage on a spellcaster so they have disadvantage on rolling to cast counterspell or dispel magic, or trying to hide from someone and giving them disadvantage on wisdom checks. Again I’m not trying to be critical at all, but Murph had just mentioned that it’s insane that you can just give automatically someone disadvantage on CON saves. Haha and that’s because it is! But again I loved the episode and play however is most fun.

Love the toads! More toad sodes!

Jack

Jake! I like the mustache keep it

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Dry is fly or so I've been toad! Love the 🐸 jokes!

I haven't had time to listen to the episode yet because of midterms, but I just wanted to say I <3 you Murph. Keep up the great work!

K. Zachary Neese

The toad jokes are funny, but not really memeable.

Need some more of these toads

Kris Barnes

I love the Toad jokes!

Michael

Hearing this makes me want to see Jake on "Um, actually"

It’s funny Lou mentioned forgetting names and subtly testing your players to see if one of them remembers... I did that with an NPC in one of my campaigns, a cousin to one of my PCs who was a real shithead I sort of modeled after Ren from campaign 1, and when I subtly cued the player to see if they remembered, the name they gave me was Ren. I still don’t know if that was the original name and I just straight up stole the character or if it was a massive coincidence.

Erin Paxson

I, personally, cannot stop thinking about the toads

I LOVE the toads

Josh

Has anyone mentioned that they used hex wrong?

Drew Smith

The vibe i get from the HexBuds is Golden Girls meets Rambo

Wyatt

I can’t get enough of these toads

Hunter Steffes

Toads are so hot they’re totally dried out

Michael Singer

I really don’t think y’all have enough toad content to be completely honest

FusRohNahSon

Murph's self mandatory thorn really is a perspective. An audio only format can have challenging enemies but sometimes the players and the dm get really into it and might not focus on the show itself. But I think in the end thats really what we the listeners like is hearing the raw excitement and stress from yall. Don't be afraid to narrate Murph! ITS AUDIO ONLY WE DONT BLAME YOU

Judson Whitfield

I wanted a "centark tank" joke real bad. Always enjoyable, nonetheless. Great short rest! Proud to be a toad

Charles Johnson

Guess I should watch/read Game of Thrones at some point to follow along with the Short Rest lol

Nolan Childerhose

Lay on and also stretch your arms out fully above you!

Dana A

hey centaurs!

Certainly Not Brent

I know Murph gave himself a thorn related to the battle mechanics, but I thought that whole sequence made for fantastic listening, and I am thrilled to try something similar in my own games!

Nesve Fowl

I personally Love the Toad Jokes!

Jake

I'm gonna miss Lou. I love Caldwell but his natural goofiness can really break the immersion in a grim world like Eldermourne.

Jake

Spot on caldwell impression

Wait, what couches are not long enough to lay on? Like love couches or do people not lay sideways? Also love Lou's shout out to Bioware's Mass Effect trilogy. Legendary edition out May 14.
