These fucking books that he gets all the time are growing in intensity, in detail. We're learning more about dinosaurs as a family. Excellent. And it got me thinking about... As it should be. I've learned a lot of my preconceived notions were incorrect. That's right. But it got me thinking just about, you know, not not.

just the prehistoric world, but kind of what our lives were like prior to the current day. Like yesterday. Yesterday or any time before that. A hundred yesterdays, a thousand yesterday. Today and today and tomorrow. How the modern world has changed us. Yeah, exactly. It's jaded.

Exactly. For me, I mean, it would be really, really cool to be able to see. creatures from that era or even more recent you know tens of thousands of years ago to see like these giant land sloths and i mean i really love the idea of megafauna to be able to just see them in person but like even more recently i i love cell phones yeah really appreciate them all that they've done for us for me and i would be lying if i said that i wasn't on my phone fucking all the time but I really miss the vibe of leaving your house and just being able to go not being reachable yeah and like someone will call you at your house and they just won't be

able to get in touch with you because you're out of touch whether you're in the shower or you're or you're out watching a movie or you're camping or you're on vacation like you're just not reachable I think that's something that's so calming and just nice. So I wanted to ask everybody what do you, I guess, miss, whether or not you experienced it, whether it's like a dinosaur that you never got to see or just the experience of going outside to play with your friends and being gone for four hours that was in the past but is no longer possible. I mean, for me, it was definitely a time I didn't live. live in. But I think most of us here, at the very least, Rob, will probably agree that maps are cool, you know? They're fine. Maps are cool. Yeah. But I think it's really neat.

I mean, there's something, and it's funny because I think of sci-fi shows, shows like Star Trek and how, you know, they map out areas. It would be really interesting to be on Earth at a time, or at least to think back to a time where people are just like, yeah, we don't know what the fuck's over there on Earth. There's like, yeah, that direction, we don't know. yet. We got to send people out. And it's so crazy to think. It wasn't that long ago that we just didn't know what was here, you know, that there was a time where maps were just unfinished. They're just like, we kind of have an idea. There are people over there probably, but we don't know what it looks like. We don't know who looks there. And that would be such a fucking awesome era, you know, aside from all the other things to live in, to be like, guys, what do you think is on the other side of the world? Like, conversations could just be. like that. You're right. We have a connection to Earth. We have a connection. It's our home planet. And there was a time not that long ago where we didn't even know what it was like fully. Totally. Totally. Just in terms of like eras that are bygone, you can't get that back. You can't be like, you know, you could

leave your cell phone in a drawer. You could lose network, but you can't lose the ability to like discover the planet. And it would be really interesting to live at a time where common, like everyone on Earth was just like, or everyone rather around you is just like, yeah, we don't know what the fuck's over there. You could be like, I want to grow up and be an explorer. And people wouldn't be like, well, that's stupid because we already found it for you. Yeah, they'd be like, good on you because we need to get, have people out there exploring the, the peaks of the mountains and the pivots of the valley. It just, it just seems so cool.

To the northwest passage we do. Yeah, for real. Martin Frobisher. What kind of animals will we find? I feel a little chagrin. Or maybe that like, I don't know if, I don't know if this, this information wasn't available or contextualized in the same way or whatever. But it wasn't until way later than I'd liked in life when I sort of got the context of like, you know, there were giant mammoths alive

when the pyramids are being built. And we are closer to Cleopatra than Cleopatra was to those pyramid builders. And when Oxford University was founded, the Aztecs were over there, you know, doing their whole thing. Or, you could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. Or like a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln kind of thing like it all of that stuff I feel like the way I was taught history for a long time was very much we're going to talk about the French revolution and then we're going to talk about the American revolution but we're not going to like paint the picture of what's happening in Spain at the same time as all of those things or what you know or where you know Simone Bolivar is doing in in wherever else at all these other time like it's

just the the the the the greater global context of a lot of things. I feel like I have a better appreciation for now and not as much as I... I was listening to a thing last night where they like talked about how for a brief period of time, the band Queen with Freddie Mercury and Nirvana existed at the same time. And I'm like, my brain sort of, I understand that, but at the same time, my brain kind of like, it kind of like wipes off my brain like grease off like a countertop in the way that I'm like, no, one of these bands feels like distinctly 70s and 80s. the other one feels so 90s that I'm like,

they can't have been around at the same time. Wrong, they were. And yeah, it's just like, it's even like small things like that, like feel like when you're just like, oh, all these people lived at the same time.

It's like, it's like finding out like, who was it? It was like Anne Frank and Martin, Martin Luther King Jr. Like Barbara Walters. Yeah, Barbara all born in the same year.

Yeah. And they all feel like you're just like, oh no, like again, history is taught to you like chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk. And you're like, oh, it's like these things all exist. It's tough, right? I mean, to the credit of schools, it's like, it's a lot to go through.

There's a lot of history. A lot of stuff happened in history. And there's a lot of everything that happened before now. And it's always getting more. Yeah. We're making history right now. There's so many memes to learn. And it also, it says a lot about our like cultural things we value for like what things get

into that curriculum or out of it or put where or, you know, I think there's a lot of. It's kind of a crap shoot. But in the same way you were talking about, you know, maps and what's over there and who controls that information is a real thing, right? Like who decides what gets taught? Who decides what people get to know? Totally. Is a...

Big map is onto us. There is no other side of the world. You can't go inside. What is it about the past that you would want to experience that you miss? I mean, were a time machine available, being able to go to all of those places at the same like time and get that sense of what's going on in each of them and have that context I think is super interesting. And it would be interesting in any time you go. It'd be interesting to go in the 70s and have a global perspective of what's going on. It'd be interesting to go in the 1870s.

Oh, so you're saying global perspective would be interesting. I think that's the, yeah. And if you're thinking about I want to go a global perspective on what was happening with which dinosaur on which continent and where can you go find which weird giant frog and a T-Rex. But that's also interesting. That's just the internet. That's just learning stuff on the internet. What Rob is saying is he wishes the internet could exist at a particular point in time for everybody so that he could understand it. But there's something different to being able to personally go there and experience it too, right? Just don't kill anything. Or else time's going to be ruined.

The simsress taught me that. Rob, if you go back in time, don't kill anything. Don't sleep with your grandmother. Yes. Futurama shot me. Or do if it turns out that you have to have you exist. Oh, yeah. Then you have to say, yes, Mr. I'm my own grandfather.

Seems like a lot of rules. Yeah, time travel, foe. You know what? I think you took, you said it best, Joe, with the gigantic flora and fauna. I mean, that has always really interested me. It interests me how, you know, there is that, I guess, I guess it was like a much thicker. Would you say it mega interests you? There's a much thicker atmosphere, I think, of like a lot higher oxygen levels, yeah, to allow for that.

And it sort of blows my mind to think, okay, I'll go off on a tangent here. Do it. If you're standing watching it rain and watching ants, you know, scuttle into their home and maybe there's a splashing puddle that goes splashing up there. You know, that on a much smaller scale when you're that size, it's like a lot slower. Just like when we're standing here and you're seeing like this tsunami come across, right? you're like, oh my God, we've got to get out of here. From space, that's probably like, you know.

Well, like from a much bigger perspective, I think it's much quicker. And that to me boggles my mind. I really did go off on a tangent, didn't I? Yeah, but I love that you brought us with you. I guess I'm with you, technically. It's just like the scale of things like in its relativity to time, I guess, or perceived time, or perceived speed of time. I got a tattoo of a trilobite on my arm because I wanted to think about that kind of context

and that they were the dominant species on earth for 200 million years. God damn. Just trilobites, all continents, all the time. They're like, they're like trilobites, we're going to be here forever. Yeah. Could you imagine? For so long. It really interests me to think about that.

And in that context. Longer than dinosaurs, much longer than people. Like if you just zap back to that moment. in time using that same time traveling machine and you're like holy crap and then you look over you look out over this like quiet thick dense atmospheric and you know the sun's having troubles reaching through it's so sweaty and there's just lost Alex on another two things everywhere what are they called troglodons trilobites what about you Alex and or Sal let's get from a different Alex for a moment oh my god mine that you wish was my my my

thought is so much less cool because I don't even want to go that far back. I think because I wrote a lot of pop history. 2020. Yeah, I'm like, I wrote a lot of pop history stuff. And so whenever I'm like, I would love to like be around for this piece of like fashion or cosmetic history. I'm like, oh, so full of lead though. I'm going to be dead within like six weeks. Jesus. In uranium, you're going to glow. Yeah. But it's actually designed so that I can't breathe. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, no, I can just But don't worry, consumption is beautiful, and you'll be fine. Yeah, it's going to melt my skin off. So I recently watched the industrial light and magic documentary.

And so that goes from like the start. Isn't that George Lucas? Yeah, so from when they were created, they were created to do Star Wars. I don't really care for the Star Wars movies, but watching the, like, they're fine, they're fine. Show over. minus. Wow. Like, I don't, no, I'm kidding.

I know. It's, uh, I give them a solid B. For blowing me away. Yes. Um, no, it's, uh, yeah, I, seeing them with like the mat, the mat, the mat paintings and all of this stuff, I was like, all I want to do is go back to that time and to like make this stuff. I want to like make these models. I want to do this stuff.

I want to be there for as they're creating all these sort of techniques for filming things and everything. All of the stuff I think about is like stuff that I want to like make and do. And then and so I was just like, I was saying to Andy when you're watching it, I was like, all, like, I just, I just wish I could have done this stuff. Because everything now, like people still do model work and miniature work and things like that, but it's still very CG heavy. It just seemed like a really interesting time in the, as that shift was happening.

from pure practical into digital effects. I think there was like tons of really, really cool stuff happening. And I, but like, I'm just always like, I wish I could have done that. But also part of me,

part of me sometimes wishes that I could just go back to like, I don't know, the 80s or the 90s and like find out what it was like to work in journalism when you could actually just have a job and like buy a house. And I'm like, oh my God. We live in hell. That's the perfect answer is I wish I could go back in time to fucking afford.

These four stories. duplication five thousand dollars. I'm like what if I could just go to 1991 and just work it up you know what actually you you make a really good point because as I was I was thinking about what answer to give I kept thinking oh I go back to like the pioneer ages or go back to like you know the times where we we were seafaring you know it's about 10 years ago and invest in the housing well buy a better house but you know there's no there's no electricity in those times it was like really a lot of disease really difficult lives.

You don't really want it, right? I'm a woman. But the 90s. Like basically every age is terrible. Like almost everywhere. I'm like, ooh, no thank you. So it really has to be sort of like 1970s. Ship me off to an asylum.

Well, we're watching The Simpsons right now, and it's funny because it's like season four or something and they're talking about, you know, their foundation gets ruined and they need an entire foundation restructuring the guy's like, I'll do it for $8,000. And they're like, 8,000. And I'm like, oh, my God. It's like, because they bought a new truck, a brand new plow truck, and it's $20,000. Oh, my God. These are the times of like, oh, my God, that's the craziest amount of money.

Well, to your previous point, Alex Nersoll, we can get you some fucking minis to paint. Ooh, yes. You want to get some, start clay shaping red, Doran, Jack, and Marry. I tell you, I'm already. The only reason I'm not into Warhammer is because you guys weren't like, come play Warhammer. My blood is trying to get me into Warhammer. It's how easy going you are. You're like, cool, we're in a Warhammer now?

You know what? You know, when you roll a crit in Warhammer You roll the dice twice and add the... No, that being said, I would totally try Warhammer, but it's so fucking expensive. It is. I remember in the 90s, going with my...

Going with these friends that would buy Warhammer. And it was like $30 for one or two figures. And I'm like, what? You need a whole army, dude. How do you get that kind of? a money. Every once in a while, the ultimate kill time store is a games workshop because I'm like, I always find myself having to wait near a games workshop.

I'm always like wandering, guys are always really helpful. Oh, can I help you? And I'm like, nah, I don't know any of this shit. I don't fucking get it. It's like, I'm a nerd. I'll just pick it up, look at it around. They're like, yeah, that's $79. I'm like, there's five things in it.

What the fuck is going on? And you have to paint it yourself. Yeah. But I really hope they make a dope-ass Warhammer movie because I don't really get the world, but I've played enough video games to know that the, the world is fucking awesome. Like, it's brutal and metal as fuck. But every time I see it, it's awesome.

Dark time is fun. Huge shoulder pads. Yeah, space marines. They got this huge wings. You have to. Your shoulders are your weak spot, and that's why you need the biggest. Anyway, yeah, shall we play some D&D? Let's do it.

Yeah, let's play D&D. Let's do it. Let's warhammer this shit. Electricity crackles through the air, and you dodge roving moats of ball lightning bowstring taught red through the coroner leading to the gnomish workshop you hear the sounds of your friends keeping this mechanical dragon occupied giving you valuable time to try to bring it down at the source what do you do is there anything in this room i could shoot it doesn't seem like it it's it doesn't have the same kind of mechanism in the center

fuck it red fires an arrow at one of these crystals on the ground roll a hit Fifteen to hit? You do hit. Yeah, I mean, it's a stationary fucking rock. It's more of like a hardness. It's not like a tree. It can't dodge out of the way like with a tree. Trees can dodge.

I saw it in the first episode. They're tricky that way. They're tricky that way. 22 damage to the crystal. Yeah, that crystal explodes. And again, the lights in this room begin to flicker. Ah, cool. Okay.

Crab Doren. Yeah. What do you do? Doren, like, uh, thinking to himself. I'm really tired of not being able to do anything. Trying to pinch this beast. Keeps defeating me and blasting me with its breath. Anyways, so enough acting.

He does... Role playing achieved. What an acting it was. 21 hit. Yes, it does. And that's going to be 4D10. Why don't I have these ready? I don't know.

Ask me next time. There's only one thing that you can do and you're, like, surprised by it every time. I know. I'm like, where are those two? 32 points of damage. Nice. Fuck that thing up, Doran. Boom.

Fuck, yeah, you did. Got this thing pinched at the end of your claws. Yeah. Fuck it up a little more. And Doran, as you pinch at this creature, you notice that some of the light has gone out of its eyes. Some of the spark has gone out of its body. It recently got dumped.

All by my say. You're losing your inspiration. I'm just really struggling lately. There's like this moment where my, you know, big black crab eye with no pupil is staring at this creature's big metallic fake pupil. And there's a moment there where they, yeah, connect. And despite the fact that some of its little sadness is in its eyes because of the fact that red is chipping away at its power source. It opens wide, it's terrible maw, and breathes lightning on you again. Naked exterity saving throw.

At 18. Yeah, you succeed. So you only take half of all of this damage that I'm about to roll. 700 points of damage. I only throw half. You got this. So Doran, you take half of 80 lightning damage. Jesus.

lightning damage. How are you looking? I'd like to thank you for your being the damaged sponge in this episode. Yeah, no, no problem. I don't feel a thing. It's, uh, I'm left with 15 points. And then those little electric zaps

move down the creature's body. And you take 11 lightning damage. How many hit points do you have? Four. Oh, no. Guys, we got to stop this thing. You're getting the faint wift of fresh. boiled crab in the room

you know oh what is that throw some corn in there reminds me of the ocean side Jack it's your turn uh kill dorin just do it for fun

focus fire perfect betrayal moment I could I could polymorph this crab into a giant crab double crab double crab into an even crabby

into a crabception it's a crab this crab turns into a crab it would oh my god a crab stuff There's crab. Inside you, there are two crabs. That's right.

One is named crab. The other is named crab. Both won't stop fucking. Don't stop believing. Don't stop. Crab leaving. Crab leaving. Hold on to your feelings.

Yeah, okay. My finest work. Red, how's it looking in there? I'm almost done. Need a hand? No. Why is that? Is Red just too proud?

I was just going to. Shatter the room, which does a whole bunch of damage with extra badness to stone, crystal, and metal things. Well, go for it. You don't have to ask me. Well, I'll still get all the credit and glory for sacrificing myself to run up here. That's all I care. There you go. Yeah, Jack. You came up with the idea.

Of course. It was my idea. Genius Red. The smartest strategist. G.E. I think without Red. A brilliant mind. I don't think Jack would do it. And I'm happy to focus on the other thing.

If you got it, you got that. No, I'm just being funny. Go for it. Do whatever you want. Red wouldn't think that Jack should be doing it. Like, Red doesn't know what's going on out there. He's picturing everybody dying. He's like, no, you stay there.

I got this. Don't worry. That's fine. In that case, Jack pulls out his favorite Dezon's wand, and he whips up some magic missiles. He's going to gas it up with that extra alchemical casting. Gagga, gas it up. And he traces in the air a bow that looks a little.

little bit like the one Bari is holding now, just like taking that inspiration. Jesus fucking Christ, everyone's got to be a bowie now. Hey, nice bow. Trying to like vibe on that magic, you know, same magic note. I think he saw Polymorph. That was a familiar sort of thing. He's seen some

I wish you didn't do somebody else with the bow. Some rhymes in the way that they cast spells and... I used to know someone who used the bow. I can't remember here. Oh, Jack's doing it because you did Polymorph. I see. This is actually a get-back. He's like, I can do your bow if you can do my polymer.

It's not a competition. It really isn't. Because I'm better than... There's no competition. Jack fires off six magical arrows from Gizan's wand, just one after the other, slamming into this thing for a total of 81 force damage. Holy fuck.

Wow. Well done. Great job. A lot of resources. And then he is going to... dash further south because he sees another one of those glowing lightning things coming this way

so he's going to hide behind the next south flying machine on the wall. Good stuff. Mari. What do you do? Red, you sure you're fine in there? Why does that one keep asking me that? Because we can't see you.

Because you went in there and you've been in there this whole time and there's a bunch of smashing noises. I'm doing it. Like Red is like bleeding and like fried and he's like frantically pantically panicking and like trying to save everybody's like I'm doing my best I imagine like sticks his head out and his hair is all standing on end but it's like his whole body um but I feel bad because I'm not

saying do you guys need help but there no no it's they got it they got crap door like like it's all good don't worry about it I'm gonna cast title wave again cool deck saving throw for the big boy 21 yes that does but I still get to do damage mm-hmm she waves her hands and comes up and rises out of the floor of nowhere like it pours out of the cracks in the floor and it's filled with bits of dirt and coins and like a gnomish bone yeah just there's all this everything that's been lost in the cracks of these the floor is being dug out and pulled up with it like there's wet paper floating by sorry jack all these 800 to a thousand year old nomish paper still had words survive on it this trash washed away in a tidal wave

Yes, unfortunately, it only does seven points in finish. Oh, no. Rolled low on that one, but I'm also going to shoot another arrow because I can, because I'm learning from Reds that's 25 to hit. Oh, God. Oh, no, come back. Hang on, I'm sick. Oh, no.

Help. She's so angry. She threw the dice. I'm getting out of here. You don't have to be so freaking mad all that. time. Home down. So that is

a 10 points of damage as the arrow sails through the air and strikes this thing. Somewhere cool like right in the neck. Yeah, the arrow, the magic arrow goes straight into its open neck. Yeah. And it

crackles with electricity. And I'm going to take a little jaunt away from the thing that's coming towards me because I'm still trying to concentrate. She's doing a little little saunter down. She's feeling better because something actually

hit for once and it wasn't just firing bolts of lightning everywhere. As more balls of electricity begin to shoot out of the room

towards you, Mari, Red, you are standing in this room. The lights are flickering. These crystals are breaking everywhere. You're dodging

these arcs of lightning as they almost catch you. Ha! Maybe I do need some help. Steven! Red screams to the darkened corridor to his south and out walks this tiny little goat. Meanwhile, Jack and Mario are like,

he said he didn't need help. And you hear him go, stay screaming. And Redlock's eyes with him. Come on, buddy. You take that one. I got these two. Stephen full out rams one of these crystals with his heavy hard horns.

Can we have Stephen make? Like a dexterity saving throw? As he runs through. Oh, dexterity saving throw? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, no. Shit.

Stephen rolled a natural one for his dexterity. Oh, for shame, Stephen. Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. I'm getting this yellow dye out of here. Get out of here, yellow dye.

Stephen, you take seven points of lightning damage as you fry up just a little bit. He's still fine. He's got 35 hit points. Cool. You want a headbutt one of these crystals? Yeah, he reels back angry now and sizzling, and it smells like tasty goat, and he's going to attack this thing. It sounds like roti in here. Man, I want roti. I know, right? Rodi sounds good.

Well, that's going to be good. That's an 18 plus strength. Yeah, that'll do it. It's a 22 to hit. Mm-hmm. How much damage? 15 damage. Yeah. He head butts a crystal. Entirely discharves. Good job, Stephen.

And with that, this room loses power. Boom. The balls of lightning that were finding their way towards you in the room to the south flicker out. You did it. Mari, Jack, and Crabdorin, you all see as this giant mech creatures movements begin to shudder slowing and slowing. It looks like it's maybe operating on some kind of backup power. Red has greatly disabled this monster. Red turns to Stephen.

Good job, buddy. Now let's get out there and make some mess. Stephen sits on the ground and Red runs past him to the south. Nice. He deserves a break. It has a can, but you're not sure where the can came from, but it's eating it. Stephen always comes with a can. It's like his whole thing.

Red is going to fire at the cruise. creature. That would be a 19 hit? You just hit. Yes, 19 is the AC, everyone. Nice. We found it. And with my last magic arrow, I will use a bursting arrow on

this thing. So it detonates the minute it hits. And it's going to take some additional damage. 31 damage as it takes explosive damage to its belly. What does it look like when you explode this thing into smithering? Oh. A ripple effect echoes throughout the room as it sounds like powering down

before the creaking metal begins to sizzle and break. Sorry sound effects guy. Yeah, shit, that's right. Nothing happens. It just wops out of existence. It falls to the ground with a classic thunk. It farts and disappears. It sounds like trash cans being fallen around.

the ground echoing and reverbering in the room and the last light of its eyes just powered down with a quiet hiss. Well, that wasn't so hard. What happened to you in there? You look, uh, me? I just, I just got, I, I just got a little bit of a, a little bit of a shock. Yeah, you've got a little bit of, that's all, you didn't, he didn't have that eye twitch before, did he?

What, what eye twitch? I'm just blinking. Everything's normal. Everyone looks like they've been slightly homaloned. Yeah. Steven helped. Hey, Stephen? Good boy.

Thank you so much. Oh. What's the sound of someone turning,

what's the sound of a crab becoming fleshy? Like a crab turning inside you. I'm sure the sound effects guy can fake. I'll tell you, it's the amount of effort that I'm not going to be putting into that. Oh, man. I want to do that sound. I will, do it.

I'll find it. I'll find it. Go for it. Good luck. Oh, that was. Way to go, Doris. Oh, my God, Doran. I feel like I've been drinking sea water.

Yeah, you... You look like you've been pounded by some balls that discharged. Oh, no. Don't see balls that discharge. They did. Oh, hey. Three, two, one. Three, two, one.

I didn't like my second class. I was going to say it's either a redemption clap or it's a no it was it was a chance to fail the first one was perfection and the second one was just like sad that's the way it go put that in the show notes sort of like plopping show notes Rob fucked up on his second fail clapping with advantage every show we just we just we rank the claps but today but we don't say we don't say it's the claps we just have every show note suddenly has a good one or like Rob was not too at a five happy with this yeah and it's just a really vague rating system and no one understands what's coming from

at the end of the show we go it was the clap we just clap and then go what six it is sad though for how often you clap to be like man I that one didn't go well good it's not that hard either right two hands put them together you got to look at your own elbows yeah I just want to say that

ooh guaranteed clap every time stare at your elbows with both eyes. What's the sound of one hand clapping? Now this is going in because that was good. Yeah. What's the sound of one hand clapping?

Lease, it's this. No, listen. I can only one hand clap if I wave my hand really violently. You're calling the dog over. Louie, go to bed. Dog's like, I'm like, I don't know. He's like, what's going on?
