Starting point is 00:00:00 Insurance isn't one-size-fits-all, and shopping for it shouldn't feel like squeezing into something that just doesn't fit.

Hi folks, I'm Dan Casey, and today we're going to talk about the latest episode of Goblin Mode,
Starting point is 00:01:13 and we absolutely went Goblin Mode on this one. But before we get into it, please allow me to introduce my cast. Daniel Radford. Amy Ford Paul. Jason Wynn. All right, folks, before we go any further, as you've probably gathered, if you listen to a single episode of Question Answers before, there's going to be spoilers ahead.
Starting point is 00:01:32 So if you haven't listened to the latest goblin mode yet in any way, shape or fashion, please, just stop doing this to me. I don't want to have to issue this same warning every time, but I must, because if you venture any further, there'll be spoilers. All right, that's enough warning. Let's get into it.
Starting point is 00:01:49 This was a bozoinkers episode. The goblin games in full effect with so many goblin names in full of them. The Goblin games was the Goblin names, let's be real. Yes, I had no. I know I did that that was going to become. That was fun for me, but I did not know that that was going to become. It was fun for us.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah, it was good for me? It was good for you? Oh, gosh. Yeah, full on, full on making me cry, laugh, saying these out loud. I don't know what to tell you. We came strong at the gate with Dougzug-Glizzy. Dougzug-Glizzy.
Starting point is 00:02:25 The goblin referee who is caught fibs tampering with the maple. But I learned y'all. told me what a glizzy was right before we started shooting and I was like, well, that sounds right on brand, knowing what I know about a goblin name. Yeah, you're like, Glizy, that's a goblin thing. That is a goblin name. And then
Starting point is 00:02:44 you just started demanding all of them and I was making them up on the spot. We had, we had plenty. We had Erky Pudgunk. Krunger Munstrom. Yeah, don't forget, snargle sludge paw and blips, slime grin. Blinks Mudbier. Yunk Jagger. Can't forget Yunk Jagger.
Starting point is 00:03:02 You're inspired. Yes. Numbi gum trunk, RIP, King. That's my favorite one. Yeah. Is it a Nanging York? Yort? Or, Rart.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Nag Nog, Yort. Nagnug Yort. Rart Huff Mamp. Munga Bumfra. Clack, crust, monk. I think, what was it? Lurt Nagaflap. Lurt.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Nagaflap. I think special shout out to Chunksterfer Sinclair. He just seems like a special. Yes, I did. He seems like very special. I did all put. Spizzy bubble. but, skip, scalywop, droolington, the third,
Starting point is 00:03:36 the longest goblin name easily. And chunks tofer is Sinclairil. I offloaded those to you, and I'm very grateful for it. But I would say, Amy, you still gave us the greatest gift of all in the form of Nerg Herfloderg. Nurg-Herflederg. I just felt such like I needed to protect Nerg for no reason at all. I just think a Swedish goblin doesn't deserve any sort of pain.
Starting point is 00:04:00 You're neutral. Yeah, totally. I love it. I love it. Yeah, somehow. But I think you didn't actually fall in love with who Nurh Herflederg really was. I think you subconsciously fell in love with who busy portrays. This is.
Starting point is 00:04:17 For hers. Yes. Herflederg. What are you talking about? We talked normally. I tried very hard to get away with not doing the accent. And everyone at the table said, oh, ma'am, no. We turned right into her.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I sure did, just turned into the Ermagerd meme. Yes, hermigurd. The Guspums girl? The Guspum's girl. Hermagerd. Umarge. Gerspherdurg does sound like something that would be written in impact font, circa 2011. Yeah, herflederg sounds like a goblin that's at the wrong place at the right time.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah, this cast of characters should be offered as, I don't know, some sort of prize. just a list of gunk from my brain. Yeah. I need to know so I can go to sleep at night tonight. They're alive, right? They're okay. So my intention, yes, after all the death and the hardships in the past episodes, you know, it's D&D, it's fantasy, it's cartoon rules.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I wanted this episode to be like, no problem. Right. No goblins were permanently injured in the making of this. Except for Mudgeabum, Muchabur is gonna be difficult to put back together, but maybe he'll be a brain in a jar at the very least. Muchabopra will never be the same. Muchabundra.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Or as, you know, his real name means butterfly who holds the morning. Damn, should have held harder. I love that because... Means was so funny. It was so earnest, too. It was like... I was like, we gotta reward that, even if it is just someone's name. Yeah, I got to love.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah, that maybe the goblins just have. more depth than you ever did think. Yeah, you know, I just, it last word seemed important, and I thought, I didn't realize that, it would say it. You thought he was saying, you know, he's shouting his own name like a Pokemon. Yeah, like a Pokemon, exactly. Mujibhra.
Starting point is 00:06:20 The thought process, you heard a bunch of gibberish come out of Amy's mouth. You heard Mujahbumpfra and you're like, must comprehend languages. Yes. You gotta cast this, use this spell. slot. I must understand. It's very bardic. What does it mean?
Starting point is 00:06:36 So I want to, Amy, I want to hear about the design of the four elements of the Goblin games because I loved the escalating challenges culminating something that felt really tailor-made for us. Yes. Well, I mean, I was reading up, they have some really good lore about Goblins. Pretty reduced and short, but really good goblin lore. And a lot of it is, you know, just about how they handle each other, how their tribes are built, and a lot of it is like, yeah, swamps,
Starting point is 00:07:08 and building, like, they're good at traps. They just are. Like, that's what they do in, they're not hefty, hearty creatures. So the way they protect themselves is building traps. And even though you may think it's tailor-made for you, it really is tailor-made for goblins.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I just knew that with those piles of materials, that you would want, you would be able to come up with something cool. The other thing I wanted to say is maybe it was Taylor Made for you, but maybe it was Taylor made for Picara, and there has always been a version of this in my mind where Picara does win.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And in fact, that's like, I'm kind of rooting for her as well. Like, I'm rooting for you guys. And Tippy, I want, I want your confidence, you know, Tipi's confidence to come back, just the same as the audience does, I'm sure. I just also think Piccarra's pretty bad. I was reading for Piccar.
Starting point is 00:08:01 If it isn't Tippy, it has to be Piccarra. Yeah. Like, 100%. That jaghole. Which one? What's his name? Yeah, what is his name? Which one?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Sorry, you mean, um, you're talking about... Yunk? Young Jagger. The Jaggle. So I have so many insane names written down. You don't mean Grib Snugglewort, right? No, no. I did say for a second, I was talking about Rart Huffmomp.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah, Huffmump. Or nag, nag, yort. But in fact, it is Yonk Jagger. So when I'm thinking of these names right off the top, I think the most, the closest word in English that you can get to a goblin name that actually does mean something is a yurt. Which is just like a round tent
Starting point is 00:08:45 that hippies use. And so that's where nag-nag-yort came from. Just changed one little letter. It's all about the vowels, really. Right, it's all about the vowels. First name is Gungan backwards, which is fitting for the 25th anniversary of the Phantom Menace this year.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Yeah, Gagongen just barely skirted by without a goblin name. I got to say, really proud, this is the first time, as she commented on, that Luf has gotten to be really active battle. Oh, absolutely. And she was so pumped. And as I've heard said, her web really did connect us all.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Fantastic work, Loof. Loof, so excited with her little web gun that she got... Yeah, from her Rucket 20. Yeah. Some sweet roles this time for the first time ever. Let's start at the end, because that's what we're thinking of is the dungeon build. Yeah. The dungeon build.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I just, I will say like I knew that there were going to... I have a bunch of traps all planned out or things that you could have done. And as it turns out, You don't need many traps when you're a group of level three characters with crazy spells and a phased spider. And a homunculus, and an Eldridge cannon, and a gun. Y'all are stacked, is what I'm saying. I just imagine Mujah Bumper's last moments being kind of like that scene in the first Resident Evil movie where it's like dodging the lasers in the hallway, then it turns into just a grid, and it gets chunked into little bits of meat. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Oh, that's so terrifying. That's really scary, Dan. Anyway, RAPU MAJAMU. Mujah. Mujah. Was he the last one, the last name that we came up with? Mujah Bumfra. Mungra was the final name.
Starting point is 00:10:38 That's the butterfly who holds the morning. Yeah, I do, it does seem as though like he went through a SIF. Like, he definitely went through like cheesecloth. Gosh, there's got to be, so that, you know. Nearly comes the morning with a U. I mean, season two is going to be, season two goblin mode is going to be a Mudgeabon for story, I think. Yeah, yeah, his redemption arc? Yeah, well, redemption arc.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's a Jacobs letter story, the moments before his death? Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking it's more of an origin story leading up to this moment where he's... I was just like, remember me? So it's like, yeah, it's probably wondering how about it. You probably wonder how he is. That's cool, exactly. He's record scratch. Exactly, like, you know, he's got a family.
Starting point is 00:11:15 He's probably young. His parents are probably like, you're too young to go to the Goblin Games. He's like, but I can at least participate in that, you know. Yeah, he's the prequel movie. He snuck out and was like, I'm going to do this. Terror Squad. Yeah, it was really fun and some new interesting mechanics I've never seen before with having the friends, you know, the, what was it, the Bannerman and the Yeller-Haller?
Starting point is 00:11:38 Yeah, yeah. Out from the side and, yeah, it was awesome. It was cool letting you guys control Tippy and having you guys do crazy shit with what Tipi could do. That was fun for me. And you finally got an answer to what, that wisdom. saving throw was. I'll be straight up. I thought it was rolling to not have a boner.
Starting point is 00:12:02 So in some ways you're right. I was a thousand percent convinced. In some ways you're right. And you were right. I completely forgot that I was a where bird, but how could I forget? Because it came back in such a hilarious way. It just was like one of those moments
Starting point is 00:12:18 that actually did help you out. Yeah. Like no one could see it coming. Well, okay, listen, I don't think I can. take the full blame here because I gotta say the T-up was like, and Piccar is shaking that big old bubble butt. And you see them cheeks go up and down. I was like, Amy.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I thought the word juicy was used several times. Yeah, you said juicy. You said you definitely said butt cheeks. So I was like, well, I'm just watching the love of my life twerk it out. Yeah, roll from the owner. With their special platform from the judge, the judge section's twerking.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. Glamgen Moss Prank. So I was like, what else could it be? And of course, it's not what I thought it. I turned into a bird. Yeah, well, it is your wisdom saving. It's your triggers, your wear swallow trigger, and it is emotionally based. So can we say now that if Tippy gets horned up, he turns into a weird bird?
Starting point is 00:13:12 Correct. And it's not just now. That's what I've always decided. That's what it's always been. Yeah, I mean, your guess is not that wrong. So by this logic, when your blood gets, starts running hot. By this logic, Fug, who is just a bunch of circles, also needs to be horned up to turn into a were bird?
Starting point is 00:13:30 Oh. Or does she have a different trigger. He got it from his daddy. Oh, no. Fug got there in the street's like, yeah. We got wear-swallow lore. We got skeleton fart lore. Yeah, these last couple episodes in Myerfin have been really awakening.
Starting point is 00:13:50 The new app, horny birds. Oh, great. I'm not going to comment on Fug. I did like that the bats immediately reacted negatively to a were bird wrapped in front of them. Yeah, that is the correct reaction. That is what you do. I also loved the...
Starting point is 00:14:11 Greetings, adventurer. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it. And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit, you know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad. I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive.
Starting point is 00:14:42 So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP. It let me overhaul my springtime outfits without obliterating my bank account.

Greetings, Adventures, Lately, I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day to day, because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby, I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan. Quince has been my go-to to help with that,
Starting point is 00:16:33 because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without me needing to overthink it. And Quintz has all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're cut, comfortable, your legs, and torso will thank you, and he will still look put together. And clean, 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness, well, you gotta feel that to believe it, believe you me. Their pants also hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still
Starting point is 00:17:04 polished enough to wear basically anywhere. And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen, so you're getting premium materials without the markup. And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants and the heritage washed denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them. That's just science. So refresh your every day with luxury you'll actually use.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Head to quince.com slash critical role for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. now available in Canada too. That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com slash critical role for free shipping and 365-day returns. Quince.com slash critical role. Frog hemath chase through the forest. Oh, so epic.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It made me feel like attack on Titan. Yeah, it felt like definitely like the team, like I think you brought up Naruto before. It definitely felt like a team ninja graduation thing that needed to happen. I love that everybody was off doing their thing and getting to shoot other goblins on top of a frog behemoth, protecting Pecora, I think, is a highlight for me as a player for Tippy.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah, I mean, you leaned into, I mean, it's almost like you needed permission to really let loose on those guns, like, oh, the goblins are going to come back. Well, don't mind if I do. Just using two guns in both hands. Pecora, sorry, Pekara and you back to back. Right. just in a really great ally ship that we'll see where that goes. Maybe, maybe.
Starting point is 00:18:50 It's kind of their first team up because, you know, he's sort of been just enamored by her, but they haven't really gotten to perform together because she was sort of the eyes in the sky during the heist and they haven't gotten to do stuff together. And now it's like they're kind of a good team. And also I do really like and I think that like Piccarra will also appreciate that like obviously Tippy is very protective over her. But I think seeing how well Pekara does for herself, this is the first time that Tippi's really seen what she brings to a battle,
Starting point is 00:19:20 I think maybe Tiffy can unclench a little bit, and that's going to help their relationship too, now that he knows that, yes, of course, he's going to have that instinct to protect her, but she's a wildflower. Yeah. She can't handle herself. She has her own gun.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah. He has her own gun. I did not think that, because originally I didn't think that you were going to say, oh yeah, don't worry, they'll heal all the goblins. because I just wrote down, Tippy unloading the clipy with a list of everyone he killed.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Tippy with the blicky. This stakes are too high. Yeah, that's a me thing. Like, sometimes you just don't, like we just had the side of Aurelia. Like, to me, I was like, this is going to hurt me a little bit too much. And I know you can't, you, look, I get to be the dungeon master, right?
Starting point is 00:20:08 So I get to set the tone, and these goblins aren't going to die and we can all just go to bed tonight. You know, just feeling like a little bit better. Even if I put a massive tippy-sized bullet through their scalps. I almost cast enlarge on the Eldridge Canon. Oh my gosh. Well, let's try that.
Starting point is 00:20:25 We'll say that for another day. That is such a clutch move. But then I was like, this might be overkill. Yeah. I was going to do it on either the cannon or loose. Oh, that's overkill. Oh, in the dungeon. All of the things we do.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Horrible gobbins. Horrible gobbins. Not a caven followed by webbing, followed by acid, followed by fire, followed by bullets? It is one of those, like, if you were, if you were all non-casters, which you're not, so you would be less squishy, but in building a dungeon, it's like you're the exact people who the overlord would want to build their dungeon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Because you've got the smarts. You're also not in the heat of battle. You're the pre-the preparation, the pre-production of the actual dungeon delve. Well, speaking of Overlord, I think we've got to talk about the biggest reveal of the episode. Oh, yes. For a moment, I thought you were going to have the guest speaker, like, to announce the winner, be f***ing craddle. And I was about to be like, no, it cannot be craddle. I think I saw, in that moment from the side, because I was purposefully not making eye contact with any of you, but I think I saw my periphery, Dan, like your head sink, like,
Starting point is 00:21:36 you were so disappointed. Like, you just, like, had this moment where you just were like, that possibility in mind, I'm like, it's gonna be Crandall. Why else would he be up there? Well, why else? Yeah. Exactly. Then when I realized what was happening, my, like, jaw dropped open, just like, oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:53 It's happening. It's happening. Yeah, what was that moment? Like, for you. That was, like, I, I mean, obviously, we'll see it when we start the next episode, but I was, I knew, because you don't drop that and then go, and now, five more minutes of y'all being silly. Like, that is the way that the episode is going to end.
Starting point is 00:22:12 But it was definitely a thing of like, oh, my God. It's like you just saw your, you know, you just saw your favorite pop star, like, you know, you have all the magazines. You've been following their career since they were in a boy band. Then they broke out on their own. And that maybe. And now maybe they're like trying, they're like trying acting and who knows if that's going to work out for them. But they're doing different things. And you're proud of the...
Starting point is 00:22:42 Nick Lachet? Well, I mean, maybe Lance Bass. The eyebrows are curated enough that it could be a Lance Bass. But just it was very specifically that moment of this is, this person has taken up so many different roles
Starting point is 00:22:57 in each of our lives because we didn't have that like between our worship and our adoration and the paternal rule that it's a lot, it's like staring into the sun except where we're his son.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, for me it was like a bittersweet moment. Well, not bittersweet, but it's conflicting, right? Because I think this this gauntlet has really reminded Tippy his worth and And really what Tippy was trying to get back this whole time, which is his confidence from after he got murked by this I thought really yeah So he he got it all back and he emerges a champion, but now his boss is back and he had spent so much time trying to not be noticed by Eunzug and Eunzug's layer and now all I on him, so I don't know how TIPI will react. It's gonna be dicey. Cast a large cannon, just kidding. Very, very interesting. Put it in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It is pretty cool. Episode 15, too. Yeah, not the end. Yeah, how do you feel watching this sort of play? Like, did you ever see this sort of growth for these characters in this way, or? like how has it sort of affected you?
Starting point is 00:24:12 I just feel like I'm so lucky that I get to, you know, work on this in between the stuff that you do and just to see like what motivations are there. Obviously I'm controlling what's going on in the background. But yeah, this was, it's really cool. I never know how it's going to land. I figured that like, oh, an Eun-zug announcement would really, um,
Starting point is 00:24:39 be a big deal to you as far as like who he's announcing. I was like well that is what we can see, but there's also another version where he doesn't make an appearance. So it's cool that it did work out and and here he is and I how do I feel really satisfied? I'm thrilled. I don't know. This is exciting to me. It's fun so fun to build a playground that's just like... The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders, an army scattered like bones in the dust. Now the survivors claw to what's left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight. But in the shadow dark, the darkness always wins.
Starting point is 00:25:33 This is old school adventuring at its most cruel. Your torch ticks down in real time. And when that flame dies, something else rises to finish the job. This is a brutal rules-light nightmare with a story that emerges organically based on the decisions that the characters make. This is what it felt like to play RPGs in the 80s. And man, it is so good to be back.

Starting point is 00:26:09 Oh, please, not that music. That music gives me nightmares from my childhood. Could we get something a little bit lighter? Some lighter music here.

You know, fuck around and find out. I think we do plenty of that.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Not so much of that. Not so much finding that. Yeah, a lot of that first part. But yeah, and to Jason's point earlier, when you mentioned that, it does have that feeling of, I felt like we're doing well and we're getting bigger and we're moving forward and we do have this life now. And now here's this thing to kind of, is this going to make us feel small again? How are we going to process this? We have done so much growing.
Starting point is 00:27:38 We've confronted our past selves and whatever way that present. itself, and now this is like the ultimate, you know, thing from our past coming back to us, and how do we view him now through the eyes that we have after everything we've been there? Yeah, I mean, even though we've escaped Eun Zug's lair, he has cast a shadow over the entire series and our characters since episode one.
