Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grownups.
Content warnings can be found in the episode description. silent night on kdnd and that was dadheim steamroller off the record christmas bangers and mash which is just a great live album one of my favorites favorites, really. Interesting story about the recording of that track, which happened during a battle of the
bands outside of Waterdeep. Supposedly, the crowd loved that song so much that opposing guitarist
Glenn Close stole Dathom's steamroller drummer Daryl Wilson's minivan and just fled the scene
with his son Nick Close, which means we'll never know what they were going to play. But in the end,
we got an all-time classic and a very unique vocal performance from lead vocalist Ron Stampler. If you ask me,
I'd say it was well worth it. KD&D, the weather coming at you at the top of the hour, but first,
I have one more for you before I sign off. This is All Right by Maxton Waller. welcome to dungeons and daddies not a bdsm podcast it's kind of a bdsm podcast
about four dads from our world flung into the forgotten realms in the quest to rescue their
lost sons my name is freddie wong and i play rock cover band dad and bard glenn close and my dad
fact this week is this because we were trying to figure out what the heck the glenn close trio
plays and i finally figured it out how is glenn a touring musician all over the place, been around the world, and also not really that famous.
The Glenn Close Trio plays jazz fusion Christmas music.
Oh my gosh.
Like a certain steamroller by the name of Mannheim.
And they do weddings in the off season.
And when I say they played Bonnaroo,
no joke, this year at Bonnaroo,
there's going to be a Christmas tent
where they're going to play Christmas music.
So that's like where they could have done it.
That's so wholesome I love it
and so then Ron
singing Silent Night is such a betrayal
of Glenn's musical thing
in the face of Christmas cheer
he had one thing you took it from him
exactly so that's my dad fact this week
does that mean that Glenn was never
home for Christmas for Nick?
oh shit
yeah it was always presents in absentia that's brutal Does that mean that Glenn was never home for Christmas for Nick? Oh, shit.
Yeah, it was always presents in absentia.
That's brutal.
That's brutal. That's heavy duty.
I just always gave your son a Christmas album.
With a joint in it.
It was like an album, and then it was just like, here's the new drugs.
The new drugs.
Trying to be a cool dad.
That's a stocking stuffer for you.
Hi, my name is Matthew Arnold.
I play Daryl Wilson,
a stay-at-home coach dad
who's a barbarian
in the World of Forgotten Realms,
I guess.
Little dad fact about Daryl Wilson.
So last year,
he had his 15 minutes of fame
at one of Carol's employee
or worker events.
All the women at the work
were giggling
and kind of pointing at him
and laughing
and he was wondering
what was going on.
And he found out
he was on the hot Instagram account called Dil kind of pointing at him and laughing and he was wondering what was going on and he found out he was on the hot Instagram
account called Dilfs of Disneyland.
What?
Is that a thing?
It's a real thing. He was so
excited he could not stop bragging about it
but as I said it was 15 minutes
of fame because then he found out that he
was just in the background while on the photos
and they were all
laughing at him because they were saying
that dad is a little fat.
Oh.
Wow.
No, you'll always be a dilf to me.
This story took so many turns.
How long did it take you
to come up with that?
That was a three-act fucking story.
It's a real thing.
It's a real thing.
I was with my wife.
She brought up Dilfs of Disneyland.
I thought it was the funniest thing ever.
And I was like, oh, yeah,
clearly Daryl's a dilf,
but not really a dilf. And then I was like, oh, Dilf, dad is a little fat. I was like, yeah, that's probably what happened. Holy shit. That's really good. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. And I was like, oh, yeah, clearly Daryl, like Daryl's a Dilf, but not really a Dilf.
And then I was like, oh, Dilf, dad is a little fat.
I was like, yeah, that's probably what happened.
Holy shit.
Oh, it's an ad for Dilf.
Yeah, yeah.
All the women at the work were actually like, huh, your husband is a dad who's a little fat.
He's just in the background with this photo.
But here's the thing.
Like, dad bods are dad bods.
The fucking deep lore.
So it's like, if you're one Dilf, aren't you inherently both?
A Dilf is a Dilf, you might say.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Cause at first I was like, oh yeah, Daryl would belong there.
But then I looked at that Instagram account.
It's like, everybody's a bodybuilder.
It's like, if you ever want to feel like really wholesome, but really like hot as hell.
Like, yeah, that's where you go.
Wholesome pics of buff dads with their kids.
Yeah.
I cannot believe that both of those acronyms mean the same thing.
That's the cruelest thing I've ever heard in my life uh what's up everyone i'm will campos i play henry
oak uh granola munchin nature loving birkenstock rocking uh hippie druid dad and uh that's my thing
that's my whole my whole get up this week's fun fact for henry uh is why you know i told you guys
last week that his favorite drink is a cold glass of water.
I'll never forget.
Henry's second favorite drink.
Oh, man.
Room temperature glass of water.
Oh, God.
So, like, worst case scenario, the glass warms up.
Hey, man.
Hey, still pretty good.
Still pretty good.
Doing fine.
I think Henry Oak is probably has is living the best life out of all of us. I think it's very clear at home. You know, he really believes in hydration. I think Henry Oak is probably living the best life out of all of us.
I think it's very clear at home. You know, he really
believes in hydration. I'll say that. Henry Oak is
the most functional human being amongst you, I think.
Oh, for sure. Absolutely.
Oh, wait, never mind. Ron is.
And now for the least functional human being.
My name is Beth
May. I'm not functional.
I play Ron Stampler,
emotionally stunted stepfather and rogue.
Fun fact about Ron, his middle name is F.
It's the letter F.
Just the letter F?
Just Ron F. Stampler?
Yeah, probably what happened was he saw, you know,
Ronald F. Stampler written
somewhere like on a birth certificate or
something or like you know
some sort of document and then just never
really concluded that it might stand for
something and it probably doesn't. Does Ron
not know his parents? Did he never ask his parents
what that means? He definitely
knows his parents and I think that's why he didn't ask
Oh fuck
that's dark
that's really dark. Oh that's why he didn't ask. Oh, fuck. That's dark. That's
really dark. Oh, that's some heavy duty stuff.
Alright. I'm Anthony Birch.
I'm your daddy master. Some people
have talked about this podcast and been like,
oh, cool, I'm not really into Dungeons & Dragons, but I like this
podcast. If you like this podcast, you're not into
Dungeons & Dragons. That's not what we do.
We're posers.
This is just people
jerking off in a room and recording it.
But if you want to get into role-playing stuff,
and D&D sounds a little bit intimidating,
I would look up the one-page RPGs by Grant Howitt on Google.
There are a bunch of free ones.
The Witch's Dead is my favorite.
That's what I would recommend if you want to play something quick and easy with your friends.
But yeah, let's pretend to be wizards.
All right.
All right.
Paint us a picture, Daddy Master.
wizards. All right. All right. All right. Paint us a picture, Daddy Master.
Nick Close and his father, Glenn, are speeding along in the Honda Odyssey toward the big old city of Waterdeep. What are you feeling right now? What are you doing right now, Glenn?
I think I'm trying to, I'm driving and I'm trying to keep the thing on the road because we are not
in paved road territory. And I think I'm a little bit conflicted to keep the thing on the road because we are not in paved road territory.
And I think I'm a little bit conflicted, honestly, because on one hand, I finally found my son.
We're hanging out and we're just having a good time.
And on the other hand, I do feel a little bit guilty about leaving the rest of the dads behind.
So I'm going to I'm going to talk to him like, hey, Nick, Red Brands are.
Well, I guess they won the battle of the bands huh i guess yeah they're they're okay right the other guys they're gonna
be fine right uh you your friends yeah well i mean they pretended to be red brand so i think
if anybody's gonna be safe it's gonna be them i think the water mice like half of them might end
up getting kind of a little slaughtered, but your shitty friends should be fine.
Dang, that's pretty
harsh, man.
That's what they did by deciding to do
the greatest rendition of Silent Night that any human
being has ever listened to. That was on them.
That's a good point, man.
Forget about them.
This is the
Ron and Nick show now.
The Ron and Nick?
Oh, shit. I'm ready for the show. show now. Hey, so. The Ron and Nick? Yeah.
It's what?
Oh, shit.
I'm ready for the show.
They want an encore, everybody.
They want me back on stage.
I take it back.
That fucking crazy ass vocalist got in my head so hard.
A good performance stays with you.
It's just like echoing around. What is that?
Sorry.
This is the Glenn and Nick show.
And I think your idea that you had of like flipping this shit,
like I still have a bunch of those drugs in the backseat.
I know this.
When we were making those bundles, I noticed you were, what's the-
Sequestering a few away.
What's the cool drug term for-
What are you looking at me for?
I'm just saying-
Will, the druggiest drug doer of all of us.
Was it Chifin?
What is it when you like hog a joint?
You keistered it.
I know that might not be the
right word in this context. That means something
else. Don't tell him. I was trying
to lead him down the primrose path. You Birkenstock
it. Yeah, you Birkenstock it.
I Birkenstocked up. I noticed you were Birkenstocking
up on those joints. I may have had a feeling
we were going to be able to get away in a sort of situation not
entirely dissimilar from what we got going on right now.
But I think... Really really you foresaw this.
I mean,
I figured at some point they were going to do something stupid.
I would find a way for us to sort of get away and like,
everything's working out great.
So I feel like what we got to do is we can get to water deep,
find like the first empire having drug Lord,
and then just offload this stuff.
Cause as far as I know,
nobody in water deep has ever gotten any of this particular strain of
cush. Like, it's gonna
blow their gourds. So you're saying we gotta
find a guy, and we can be a sort
of supplier. We can be
the Colombians in this sort of equation
if we were to kind of match it up with the
U.S. and South America drug
trade. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Yes. We could be like
those guys that killed Scarface at the end of
Scarface. That's right! Because if there's
any moral I got from Scarface,
it's that doing drugs is fine
so long as you're the other guys and not Scarface.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not Scarface.
Don't be Scarface.
The whole movie's a warning
about how you shouldn't be Scarface
because he dies.
But you know who doesn't die?
The guys that kill Scarface.
The guys that kill Scarface.
His little friend.
And then they found the city of Miami.
I'm a little hazy on the details of that movie.
I definitely feel like I got the basic theme of it.
But like, yeah.
Do you like that plan?
I dig it.
Do you have any connections, any leads in terms of who we might go?
Or do we just kind of start driving around and digging around some of the shady quarters?
I feel like we drive around and use our natural like criminal aptitude to sort of see what's what.
Because like I'm a kid.
I don't know if they'll trust me.
I feel like maybe you can like get in there and just sort of start talking to people.
Just using your natural like band leader charisma kind of stuff.
We can sort of suss it out.
We can feel it out.
All right.
Hey, how far?
You know the lay of this land a little bit better.
How far away were we from Waterdeep right now?
Oh, we're right here.
It's right around this corner.
Anthony has no other content planned until we get to the thing.
You guys got there real fast.
We get there pretty much whenever.
Wow, look at that.
And there it is.
Hey.
The glittering lights of Waterdeep.
So Waterdeep is...
I guess it'd be morning now, right?
Wouldn't it?
Yeah, it's morning.
So the morning sun crests over the docks of Waterdeep,
which is where the city gets its name from.
This is mainly a port city,
and you can see a lot of very haggard-looking people,
a lot of smugglers, a lot of shippers,
people that just work in shipping, sailors.
That's what you call them.
And fan fiction. And fan fiction.
It's a fan fiction trade in Waterdeep.
Used to show up in Waterdeep.
Meanwhile, back at the
camp at the Battle of the Bands between the
Red Brands and the Watermice, the entire
crowd is embracing each other,
crying, they're so happy.
People are throwing flowers at Ron
Stampler. Drug flowers?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, if you want to use them as drugs, you can.
But they're just so enamored with your performance.
I feel like people would be trying to chant his name but not know what it is.
What's your name?
What's your name?
They go, what's your name?
What's your name?
What do you tell them?
Wait, hi.
They go, hi, hi, hi, hi.
I'm Ron. Oh, Ron. Okay, so they start. I'm Ron. Hi, I'm Ron. Hi, I, hi, hi. I'm Ron.
Oh, Ron.
Okay, so they start.
Hi, I'm Ron.
Hi, I'm Ron.
Hi, I'm Ron.
Hi, I'm Ron.
The entire stadium starts chanting.
Do you hear that, Henry?
They're chanting my name.
They sure are, buddy.
You really hit it out of the park there.
I'm so proud of you.
Yeah, I got these pipes, and now they all want them.
Yeah, the whole world.
They want these pipes.
They want your pipes.
It's really exciting.
I am a little worried that we were supposed to lose.
As happy as I am that this performance was so good.
And if my eyes didn't mistake me, I feel like I saw our good buddy Glenn and his son Nick
hightail it out of here in quite a jiffy.
My cell phone is in the minivan.
The books we need to return or we die are in the minivan.
Our library books.
What are we?
Who cares?
That was a beautiful silent.
I don't want to take anything away from you, Ron.
It was a beautiful silent night.
But one of our dads just took the minivan.
Daryl, just real quick, I want to tell Daryl about some breathing exercises.
Oh, go ahead.
That we learned about on a nature wilderness retreat.
Okay.
When I'm feeling a little flustered, what I like to do is just like a deep breath
in, and
then you just go,
You're a bear, Daryl. You're a bear.
Okay, yeah. You can throw that
in there, too. Anyway.
Let's do this. Henry, I can't believe
you thought that we were supposed to lose.
With pipes ordained
by the heavens, these pipes
I could never lose.
I wish you had told us that before we did this.
Sampler pipes, full heart, can't lose.
It's not Ron's fault.
It's not Ron's fault.
It's my fault.
I should have known.
There's literally no way not to do Silent Night perfectly.
It is just the most beautiful song in the world.
That's true.
I shouldn't have chosen it.
You know, I think the main...
It's not the song.
It's the pipes.
MPAA sort of butts into your conversation. It goes, it's definitely the world. That's true. I shouldn't have chosen it. You know, I think the man, it's not the song. It's the pipes. MPAA sort of butts into your conversation. It goes,
it's definitely the pipes. That song. It's fine. But you, you kid, you've got a career in this. He says, pointing at Ron, what say you stick with me and we take the show on the road?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. We've already had one dad abandoned the party today. We're sort of already
a unit. and i thought you
should all come you guys seem great my plan is we just kill half of these water mice and then you
guys join me as my lieutenants you could be you rule the red brands with me i was just wondering
if a lieutenant is a promotion oh absolutely as you see i'm a businessman myself and so i'm looking
for some sort of um business Your business seems to be pleasure
and that is something that we are in dire need of.
You want my pleasure.
Your voice gives pleasure to all these people.
You've brought us all together.
It's going to be really depressing
when we kill about half of them.
So I have a question about that.
Yes, absolutely.
Hello, nice to meet you.
So about the pleasure,
it does feel like killing a lot of people
is like, it's not like a very pleasurable thing to do.
Oh no, yeah, it's just a necessity. we don't have enough food to house all the water
mines oh it's like using the fax machine you just gotta do it but it's not pleasurable
sure the thing you said and in the in the back you hear the other uh musicians that you tied up
weeping to themselves because they've also lost their gigs because they lost their gigs because
you were so good they will never get their jobs back and they're like this works for us in a way that we never
could have presumed yeah we are so utterly humiliated that base player utterly so into
this he's turgid sir mpa what do you say on the road do you have some sort of vehicle
uh we got horses yeah okay dad huddle okay dad huddle sorry we're we're dads we're gonna do a
quick dad huddle we gotta discuss the name of your band the srb is called dads we're dad huddle. Okay. Dad huddle. Sorry. We're, we're, we're dad's. We're just going to do a quick dad huddle.
We got to discuss the name of your band.
We're dad huddle.
We're dad huddle.
Great.
So good.
Guys, we need to get that minivan ASAP.
So yeah, let's take a 10,000 foot view for a second here.
We are, I don't like heights.
Okay.
Well, we'll take a ground level view and then we're looking down onto the thing, but it's below ground.
Do you know what I mean? Yes. So we're at normal level and thing but it's below ground do you know what i
mean yes so we're at normal level and it's lower is that still a problem it's like the hollywood
bowl yes i could be playing the hollywood bowl okay focus though okay i'm focused okay so they
left we don't know where they went they have our van we're trying to get our kids we definitely
need to find that minivan i feel like that's probably our best shot at still rounding everybody up.
Yeah, minivans are, it's got to be a pretty easy track.
Like, there's not a lot of tracks that look like a minivan.
What if I become world famous and you guys do your thing?
And then Terry Jr. is so impressed because I'm world famous that he finds himself.
That's a good idea, Ron.
Really quick.
Put that idea. Well, let's come up with a couple of ideas. Let's do good idea, Ron. Really quick. Can we have a real idea?
Well, let's come up with a couple of ideas.
Let's do a quick real dad huddle.
Do you mind, Ron, just a quick real dad huddle?
Okay.
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
Hey, Henry.
You see Lizzie Boy Scales McStuffins about to join your huddle,
and then you say that, and he turns right back around.
Oh, Lizzie Boy, get over here.
Lizzie Boy, the status of your children, they're still your real kids.
They're always in your heart.
All right.
Come over here.
Stepdads are real dads.
It's just more of like a
Okay, then I'm back in the huddle.
Thanks, guys.
Okay, hi, Ron.
Lizard Boy's just hugging everybody.
He's like, I'm so glad
we feel so much closer
as a group now
because of that song.
Welcome to the real dad huddle, Ron.
You are a real dad.
I'm sorry.
That's what I meant.
I just meant
I just wanted to reconfirm
that we're all real dads.
I think it's a very good idea
that Ron is going to become
world famous
as long as we
we should play where Glenn is playing.
I think if you want to play and if you want to be world famous, we got to make sure we don't die first.
So we should get the.
That seems like a band problem and not a solo artist problem.
But I got to admit, you guys have helped me out of some sticky situations.
And it's only fair that I use my new world fame to give
you an autograph or two and send you
on your way. And I mean
we'll hang out. We'll do a meet and greet.
That's a good idea.
Ron, I will say that playing drums
with your rendition of
Silent Night was a high point of my life.
I'm trying not to let it go to my head
but I feel like everybody
has just witnessed
something downright religious.
Ron?
Yes?
And I put on my serious Henry voice,
like when Lark and Sparrow are being
even more horrible than usual,
and it's time to turn it up to four from a three.
I go, Ron, we let you into the real dad huddle
because we see you as a real dad.
You asked me if my dad dar went off when I saw you and it goes off like crazy.
But you know what being a dad is about?
It's about putting your children first and it's about responsibility.
And if you want to be a real dad to Terry, I'm sorry, mister,
but you're going to have to put your rock and roll career on hold for just a second so that we can go find your son.
Because if you really want to impress Terry Jr., you're going to show him that you love him by helping us find him.
Ron turns back to the crowd who is screaming, hi, Ron.
And started shouting and said, Terry, Terry, Terry.
They start chanting along with you,
not quite knowing why they're doing it.
Ron, that's a great idea.
Maybe you've inspired this crowd so much,
they can go look for your son.
They can cast a wide net.
Well, what if they find, oh, no, yeah.
There's only one son to find.
Oh, I mean, I guess all our sons.
Find all of our sons.
Yeah, but.
Well, Lizard Boy Scales Big 7
says, well, you know, Terry Jr. was in
Rockport, right? You guys told me that. You know where
he is. That's true. We do know he's in Rockport.
Mr. MPA, we are so
excited for this chance
to do a great band, right? We're going to have a great band.
Here's a problem. You saw that minivan,
that metal beast that drove away? Yeah, the behemoth
thing? Yeah. We have like 40 songs
that are even better than that song,
but they're all inside that minivan.
So we got to go get it.
That rogue guy's trying to start his own band
with all that great music.
We got to go get it.
Our demo tapes, man.
Yeah.
Shit.
Our master recordings.
So if you could help us,
we could go get that.
But we got to go now
and you probably won't have time
to kill everyone.
Yeah.
Really?
But I really want to kill...
Well, what do you want more, mister?
You know, this is just like with my boys. I give them a choice. If you want to kill everybody, you can
do that. But if you want to start a great rock and roll band that's going to change the world,
then we don't have time to do both. All right. Either one of you roll persuasion with advantage.
I got an 18. He says, you know what? For today, art takes precedence over survival. You're right.
We're going to we're going, we're gonna. He points
to a lackey of his and he goes, fetch our fastest
horses. We're going to Waterdeep.
Alright, now we're gonna cut back to Waterdeep.
All of Waterdeep is kind of a
dockside district. It feels like everywhere
you look, there is something a little bit shady, a little
bit back alley. I'm gonna look for
a good dockside bar.
A bar? Okay. Well, there is.
Thanks to one of our Patreon subscribers,
there is a sports pub chain named Bullywogs.
Wait, what?
A chain?
A chain?
I love that's a chain.
Yeah, it's a chain.
You can tell that because above the neon sign,
it just says, like, Waterdeep's brand new Bullywogs.
That was from Ben.
Thanks, Ben.
Thank you, Ben.
What sports do they do at this sports bar?
Probably all the usuals, right?
How do they watch them? Is there like a portal that they scry through?
They play sports in there.
They got dog fighting. I know it was tough,
but it's a forgotten realm.
I have to assume that in addition to the
usual sort of sports bar stuff,
i.e. cockfights and like you
know uh underground fight clubs like their version of ufc what would ufc stand for unfortunate
unfortunate foster children oh no why did you make it so dark that's what it is now yeah
unfortunate foster children fighting to the death for your amusement. It's a tough world out there.
Hey, man, this is a grim, dark reality.
In addition to that, I feel like they got wizards making portals to the equivalent of soccer games.
Do you want to go in?
Yeah, of course, man.
It's a Bullywogs.
This seems like a good friendly establishment.
Probably got a good spinach cheese dip.
So you kick open the western style doors to the
Bullywogs and you see
it is a large and very
well lit bar. A surprisingly well lit bar.
You kind of wish it wasn't because there is every
fluid imaginable on the floor.
You're basically playing hopscotch to get around.
Wet bar baby. Foster child tears.
Foster child blood.
Oh god. And in the center
of the bar it's almost like a theater
in the round type thing
in the center
there is a
sort of a stage
no what's the word
I'm looking for
wrestling ring
a ring
an octagon
there's an octagon
in the center of the bar
can it be a
20 sided ring
oh that's good
it is a 20 sided ring
and inside
you see
a battle royale
of five
very small children
all of whom
have wands and
cloaks and they are just like
fucking pointing their wands at each other and explosions
are coming out. A guy like summons just green
tendrils of light out of his mouth and they come
and like encircle somebody and slam him down three times.
Orphans are getting wheeled out
in wheelbarrows all bloody and stuff and
Cleric who is also an orphan is like touching them
and healing them and being like get back in there.
You gotta cut me, Mick.
I find
the guy writing this, I'm like, hey, what's the spread on the kid
on the wall?
He goes, the long shot
is definitely paid in. Basically, he's never been able
to throw a single punch without knocking himself out. He's got
the worst name of anybody I've ever seen. He rolls
nothing but ones, as we say in the biz.
What does that mean, in the biz?
In the biz, basically
it's a move and a fight. You want to do a lot of ducking
and rolling, a lot of dodging to keep your stamina
in a good place while you're evading all these dodges.
Very Dark Souls. He is very Dark Souls.
Yeah. Dark Souls is also
our second place fighter. It's a fighting style.
It's a fighting style. You have Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
They have chicken wings at Dark Souls.
They're our rival
bar.
Dark Souls is bullshit. Don't go there.
I basically just sound like Bargy from Mission to Zix.
But no, yeah.
Peyton, when he rolls, he rolls
right on his head every time, concusses himself.
We call that rolling on the one. If you roll and get on your feet,
that's a 20 because the skill level
goes from 0 to 20. 1 to 20.
That's how we rank our dude.
Are you done asking dumb questions now?
All right.
But the real bad boy, the real one that's going to destroy everybody,
basically any time he steps in the ring, that's Gunna Duckworth.
Gunna Duckworth.
Gunna Duckworth.
Again, a suggestion from Samuel Trostle.
Thank you, Samuel Trostle.
Oh, my gosh.
So we got Payden.
We got Payden is the long shot.
That's 100 to 1.
And Gunner Duckworth is basically 1 to 1.
Everybody's scared to bet on him.
You just get your money back.
How old is Gunner?
Gunner?
He's a heap of 13 years old.
He's at the top of his weight class.
He's the heaviest lightweight you've ever seen.
And Payden?
Payden is 8.
Oh, no.
I'd like to do a perception check on Peyton.
Okay, go ahead.
I'm 18.
All right.
You can see that Peyton...
See the fire in his eyes.
Peyton has a fire in his eyes.
He fights with the vigor of somebody who's trying to get back
at someone who has long since died.
He has all this vengeance and nowhere to put it.
This is my perception for to see if he has the eye of the tiger.
He definitely has the eye of the tiger.
He has the eye of the tiger and the limbs of a tiger's meal.
Like he is.
He is utterly helpless in the ring.
He kind of just flops around.
Now I have, if I recall, I believe I have three gold on me still.
You do.
I'm going to put all three on Payton.
Okay.
Hundred to one odds.
Okay.
I hate Glenn right now.
I hate that.
I hate that Glenn's just betting on children fighting.
Well, no, the cleric.
We turned the wrong way for one second.
Well, no, no, let me explain.
Glenn is betting on child fights for sport.
You don't have to justify Glenn.
And dealing drugs with his 13-year-old son.
Let me be clear, though.
You don't have to justify your shitty character.
Two things.
Two things I want to be clear about.
You do, you do, you.
Number one, when he first walked in one
this is a reputable chain establishment right and when in rome when in rome do as romans do
bet on kid fights and then two he does a cleric there's a cleric healing up the kids
dungeons and daddy's not a situational morality podcast you got you got three gold three gold
on payden baby okay tonight's main eventally, is a one-on-one
between Payden and Gunna Duckworth,
so you are going to get your money's worth.
Here we go. I assume they're going to get that set up
and I think me and Nick are going to go over to the bar.
Nick, you want to
get in there?
Do I want to fight in there?
If you want to, that'd be cool
if you want. It's up to you, man.
I mean, I wasn't thinking about it, but now that you're mentioning it,
I kind of feel like I should.
I mean, you took like...
I'm good with knives.
I told you I'm good with knives, but would it impress you?
Would you think it was cool?
If it would impress you, I feel like I want to do it.
No, no, no.
It's up to you, man.
Hey, hey, hey.
And he goes over to the coach.
He goes, put me in there.
And the bookie goes, sounds like a triple threat to me. All right, get in there, hey. And he goes over to the coach. He goes, put me in there. And the bookie goes, sounds like a triple threat to me.
All right, get in there, kid.
Does Peyton come out?
No, no.
It's a triple threat.
So now it's all three of them.
So you now bet money technically against your son.
I would draw my bet and bet on my son.
Because I've seen him.
Because he's a black belt in malls.
You can just withdraw your bet at a baliwag
you can move the bed hasn't started yet it hasn't started yet matt come on
all right so you're as funny as that hasn't been on a lot of child battles
well it's okay so here's okay so so just uh just to take a second here i'll talk to nick and like
nick yeah you feel you feel good you want i mean listen man it's not gonna i just think it's i
mean i think you fucking i've seen you do Taekwondo, man.
You're pretty rad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, when you say that, it fills me with a lot of confidence.
I feel like I can do this.
How far did you get in Taekwondo?
I kind of lost track of that.
The greenish?
Like, it wasn't that far, but I feel like I got the general gist of it.
I just kind of...
Did you get the breaking boards?
Yeah.
I mean, but it was those plastic ones that you just sort of put back together.
It's the same thing.
Yeah.
It's like force on force.
I broke some boards in my time, Dad.
All right.
These guys are basically just a couple big walking boards.
Hey, what's, hey, sir, the croupier,
the guy who's running the fights,
what's the guy's name?
His name is,
so this one's from Kathleen McRae,
Patreon subscriber,
and he says,
my name is Scarrow McCracken.
Scarrow McCracken.
It's a fucking good name.
Yeah.
I'm very glad that we opened up names.
Because they're way better than my dumb ass name.
Remember when you caught me off guard and I said Speaker Travis?
Those days are long behind us.
But I wish Boreanaz would come back.
He's out there still.
Whatever you want to, you can always go back to Neverwinter.
He's there waiting for you.
Hey, McCracks.
That's me.
You got Cleric here healing up the kids.
We do.
For safety.
I look over at
Freddie Wong in real life
looks over at Matt
and says,
see, it's fine.
He's got a cleric.
You don't need to justify
your character.
It has been several hours
since we have had a kid death.
It's a new record.
You'll heal him up.
He'll be fine.
Okay.
Just so anybody knows,
if you don't understand
the way a triple threat
match works generally
within professional
unfortunate foster
children,
it means that the
first person to
defeat another by
pinfall or submission
regardless of who
that person is,
wins.
So,
he doesn't necessarily
have to defeat Gunner.
He could defeat Payton,
but you know.
It's not to the death?
Like, it's not a battle
to the death?
No, it's a pinfall thing.
It would not be a sustainable franchise, Will,
if every time, do you think UFC everyone dies, Will,
at the end of this?
Is this a light sport?
Let me tell you.
We just came from a town where there was a pit of people
fucking next to a pit of people murdering each other.
I don't feel like it's that far out of there.
If you want to see death sport,
then you go to fucking Dark Souls.
That is disgusting.
We don't do that kind of thing here at Bullywogs.
Yeah, I mean, look,
I could grok from the lighting of the place.
Yeah, it's well lit.
We're family established.
I want to look around.
Like, is this families?
There's families in here, right?
There's a lot of families here.
There's a lot of families in here, Will.
They're enjoying the chicken fingers,
which are literal in this world. Oh, my God.
Okay, so that's the rules of the fight.
I want to talk to Nick,
and I want to talk some strategy here.
Hey, Nick.
All right.
So the trick is,
you just got to take out one of them.
Peyton.
Peyton's got the eye of the tiger.
He does.
I think you got to steer clear of Peyton. Steer clear of Peyton? He has the eye of the tiger He does I think you gotta steer clear of Peyton Steer clear of Peyton?
He has the eye of the tiger
Yeah but he has the body of not a tiger
What do you want
Like
You want me to go after the strong one?
He's like
He's like
He's my age
But seemingly twice my size
Hmm
Good point
But the problem is
If the strong one tires himself out on Peyton
He'll still win
According to the rules of a triple
threat okay nick what do you think your strengths are as a fighter drumming okay striking yeah i can
hit them like they're the snares i can uh stab them i'm good at stabbing i think i mean i've
stabbed i've only stabbed dummies i've never actually like stabbed a person uh great personality that is the end of my list okay give me one second here i'm gonna go
find payton's corner okay just hang tight i'm gonna get a bevo okay just hang tight you know
just like do some cute stretches you stretch yeah i love stretching all right so you go find
payton who is just alone sitting on a chair like drinking a soda. He goes, well, do you want?
I'm going to save Peyton.
That's the only thing I care about.
Peyton has joined the party.
I'd also like to apologize,
Peyton,
for making this the character that I affixed your name to.
That was great.
Listen,
we say on the submission form
that Daddy Master has sole discretion
in terms of the use of your submissions.
Okay.
Hey, Peyton.
What's it going to take for you to throw the fight, my man?
Oh, my God.
Do you realize how long I've been waiting for somebody to offer me to throw a fight?
Oh, my God.
Andy, what are you offering?
You know, I'm putting together a little bit of an enterprise.
A little bit of a gang so to speak in my head by the way i'm so getting all of our twist vibes here
so i'm trying to i'm putting together a gang here and i noticed uh you got the eye of the tiger my
man oh thank you you know what that means i don. But you said it in a quiet voice, which means that it must be a compliment.
Yeah.
You got the eye of the tiger.
You're just what my organization needs.
All right.
All right.
Looks like you're kind of having a hard scrabbled life here.
You know, it looks like what?
Not quite sure what your next meal is.
The pay is not great.
Fighting just to survive every day.
A battle.
I do like the everyday battle part, though.
That is sort of why we can still keep
that but that can add a little comfort you know put a roof over your head put a sunroof over your
head okay how about this buddy you let uh that kid over there i glance over at nick you let him pin
you right at the beginning of the fight here uh-huh you join our crew and i'll show you we'll
make some real moolah around here how's that well it's not gonna do a lot for my reputation you can you can
roll persuasion i'm gonna roll persuasion on this uh that's a 10 plus 7 17 you have a plus 7 to
persuasion i'm a persuasive guy that's the rock star persona how do you have plus 7 to persuasion
i expect all charisma like i'm a dumb idiot who has a lot of charisma that's i mean all right
and and just as was your dream when you spec that way you have now convinced an eight-year-old to take a fall for you in blood sport and enter your van yeah geez
he goes yeah not a problem all right i hold my hand out for a little bit my ass goes down
oh no no in in the first five seconds yeah in the first fifth of a second my ass will go down
payton i think you and i're gonna get. I hold my hand out for a fist bump.
He puts his hand completely over your fist.
And he goes,
I don't like to fight before a fight. Put it away.
What a pro!
I gotta keep the pythons nice and ready.
Peyton is my new favorite character.
I love Peyton.
I'm going to go back to Nick and be like, Nick, here's the plan.
Submission. Pin. Hold. Go for the weak one. Oh, so I am going here's the plan submission pin hold uh go for the week one all right where i was oh so i am going for payton yeah yeah go for
the week one i i took i took a step back i took a look at the uh the fighting arena nick you're
gonna go for the week one i feel a lot better about that a lot okay just go straight for a
submission pin nick turns to scar and mccracken he goes what are the odds on me again and he says
i was like how much you bet how much you bet Yeah, he goes, show me a feat of strength.
And Nicholas tries to do some cool
kung fu moves, and he says,
the odds are five to one.
I thought you said, show me your feet.
Your feet of
strength.
Show me a feat of strength.
That's what my memoir is going to be called,
and it's going to be a picture of my feet.
So it's five to one.
If you want to keep your money on your boy.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to keep my money on my boy.
You'll get your 15 gold.
And also I lean back and I think,
I'm like, you know,
Henry's kids would really love this.
Oh, they would.
Oh, I miss those boys.
What a shame.
So you have now spent enough time here
not doing the thing that you said you were going to do
when you came into town
that the doors bust open
and you see MPAA, Lizard Boy Scales McStuffins
and the remaining Not You Dads enter.
So you guys see all of this
just as Scarra McCracken says,
and fight! And Nick and
Peyton and Gunner
all start going at it. As they start to
go into each other, I'm gonna
lock eyes with Gunner.
Get your head out of the gutter, Beth May.
I'm so sorry.
Please get that.
As the fight starts,
I'm gonna lock eyes with Gunner and just shout some insults at him, I'm going to lock eyes with Gunner
and just,
and,
and,
and shout some insults at him.
I'm going to,
I'm going to try and intimidate him.
Hold on.
Let me see what my spells are.
I'm going to use my cantrip vicious mockery.
Oh shit.
On this kid.
So you're yelling at a 13 year old.
Yeah.
You heard me.
Okay.
It took 10 episodes,
but now is official.
Glenn Close is the worst.
All right. Do you have to roll for anything what does that say so um vicious mockery i unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantment at a creature see within range if the target can
hear you though not need to understand you it must succeed on the wisdom saving throw or take
one d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on its attack roll it makes before the end of the next turn. Okay. What do you say?
Hey, twerp!
You probably couldn't bench shit!
You idiot!
Uh, alright.
Gunner looks at you and raises an eyebrow.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking to you!
And you see him squint as if trying to make a wisdom saving throw.
He goes, somehow that affects me.
Basically, his eyes dial,
his pupils dial it
and like fucking like ratatouille,
you go inside his eye
and you can see
reflected back at you.
The reason this kid
probably fights
is because it was the only way
he could get respected
of anybody
because he's not that smart.
Nobody ever really respected
his ability to be clever.
You feel so bad.
Biggest bummer of a podcast now. I so sad i mean blame matt he said he's the one who said he said orphan fighting league or whatever you're enabling him i want to be clear oh yeah absolutely
i mean it's it's it's i'm no one's more to blame than me and he just sort of goes back to that
mode and he's he's balls his fists up but he's just fighting against his own demons
rather than anybody in the ring with him i lean back smile go perfect so yeah so he's got an
opening for your son to pin uh payden who immediately goes like oh and falls over onto
his back so when we come in yes we're seeing all this you're seeing all this happen okay
daryl wilson instantly looks and sees gl His eyes track. He sees this ring of children fighting.
I shouldn't have parked the van right outside.
No, they found you very easily.
I'm assuming, yeah.
Daryl Wilson runs and jumps into the ring and puts his hand out between the children.
I'm like, no, I got to bet on this.
Roll acrobatics to see if you can jump in without, like, falling on your face.
I rolled 14.
Okay.
So you dive in from out of nowhere.
It, boom, land right in front of both of them,
between all, actually all three of them, like right in the center of the triangle, and what
do you do?
I say, stop, what the hell is going on here?
Why are there children fighting in the middle of this bar?
Young boy, are you okay?
Because Peyton fell down, right?
Peyton's like, I'm not, it's terrible.
Stand up, Sundaro Wilson, nice to meet you, I have my hand out to pick him up.
And he tries to slap your hand away.
I grab his hand.
Do a strength check with advantage advantage because he's very weak.
You're an eight-year-old?
Yeah, he's very, very weak.
That's a 19.
All right.
He gets yanked up to his feet.
He goes, this wasn't the...
Who is this?
Don't worry, you're safe.
You're all right, son.
You're safe.
And he tries to go, and fall over onto his back again.
And he motions at Nick to come and pin him.
And Nick's like, right.
And Nick sprints for him and does a diving jump to try to get onto him.
Do you do anything?
Yeah, I try to grab Nick
out of midair.
Okay.
Roll dexterity.
Friggin' Daryl killing my back.
Henry's just watching
flabbergasted.
I just want to say that
Henry got to the door.
He was like,
I should do something.
And then Daryl dove in
and he's like,
I don't know what to do.
I'm just going to see
how this shakes out.
I want the greeter to be like,
how many in your party?
Ron is like,
are those chicken fingers?
Welcome to Bullywugs.
How may I seat you?
I got a 14 on dexterity.
Okay, he's going to roll.
All right, he rolled a little bit higher,
so he managed to get on top of Peyton,
and Scarrow McCracken from outside
slams on the ring and goes,
one, for the first count of the one
two is anybody going to do anything
before I hit three should I bet
three
and dance come on ding ding ding
Nick stands up McCracken
holds up his hand and Nick is victorious
yeah everybody's super super
happy cheers are great very happy
that the fight was not disqualified
Gunner heads off to
to fucking cry and uh payton gets up and he goes great cool comes down and heads over to uh to glenn
and goes thanks for convincing me to take a fall so i could join your crew is this the rest of your
crew all right henry snaps and henry looks at glenn and says Glenn, pardon my French, but what the freaking gosh darn heck are you?
What what is this? What have you done?
That is it. You know, I try to be polite.
I try to be nonjudgmental about other other dad's parenting styles.
But you have to be, dare I say it, the worst father I have ever seen in my freaking life, sir.
Listen, man, I know this looks bad.
Yeah, it looks bad.
What is going on?
How do you, what goes through your head, Glenn?
Glenn, we're mad and disappointed.
And Henry was being kind to you, sir, if I do say so.
Guys, let's not make a scene here.
Let's get a booth and talk this over.
Hi, ma'am.
I flagged down the waitress.
Yes.
We would like one booth, please,
for our, how many people are,
how many people are sitting?
For our eight-person party.
You think you could squeeze us in?
Oh, absolutely.
Thank you so much.
A lot of people left after that last fight.
It was pretty disappointing for a lot of them, so.
So yeah, she sits you down
and hands you out menus.
Is it like one of those big circular booths?
Yeah, it's also good.
I wind up awkwardly having to sit next to Glenn,
who I just said was the,
we're like in the middle of the booth together.
Right.
See, celebrity gets you a lot.
Got us this booth.
Nick won.
Everybody cheered.
Because I'm a big star now.
That's...
You sure are, Ron.
You sure are.
We're talking about...
I feel like Lizard Boy is like talking to the server
and be like, it's his birthday today.
Can we get a cake?
Can we get a cake?
Do you know who this is? is hi i'm ron guys look i know that was
mega unchill of me back there and i know i ran off but that was a bad situation you put us in
ron i'm not pointing fingers or anything, but you sang a Christmas song.
That's like my thing. We were going to lose that battle of the bands. I had no choice.
You condemned us to death back there. And listen, I know that the water mice and the gang that Nick
was running with were in trouble, but you always got to, you know, look out for yourself. And the
way I was seeing it,
that situation was rolling around where we could not have won that battle of
the bands and myself and my son was in mortal danger.
We had to get out of Dodge.
And I know that you guys joined up with that band and looked like you guys
were going to be fine. You, you were impersonating them.
You could have slipped into the crowd. I know you're wily.
I've seen you Daryl and, and, and Henry, and to a lesser extent, Ron. We've been through a lot of scrapes,
and I felt like you guys could have handled it. But my priority first and foremost was looking
out for my son and myself and our safety, and we had to get out of there. And yeah,
maybe it could have been handled a little more elegantly, maybe a little more communication.
I know that my therapist says I got to work on that that but we made it out and for the most part we seem to be okay
here so that was the biggest load of bullshit i ever heard glenn i understand trying to take care
of your kid but we got kids too we've been helping each other glenn we don't know what's going to
happen and we gotta return those books from the van otherwise we're gonna die my problem glenn
is that you're clearly only thinking about yourself and your kid.
We all got kids.
We're all helping each other out.
Who knows what could have happened?
You could have lost the van.
Those books.
We got to return those books or we might die.
You weren't thinking about us at all.
That's the problem, Glenn.
We're a team, god damn it.
When you leave the team, where do we find you?
Where are we?
You're betting on children?
Fighting?
Are they fighting?
Ma'am?
Ma'am, over here?
Excuse me?
Yeah.
What sort of establishment is this
what sort of fights are these oh this this is orphan fights that's about 20 times worse than
i thought it was i thought this was like a special child fight you know maybe in the day
sorry it's foster children not orphans i lied i'm slightly wrong oh that's okay that's i don't know
if that's better or worse it's the same did you did you want any appetizers or drinks we'll take
it i'll take a spinach cheese dip.
You got a spinach cheese dip?
Absolutely.
Chicken wings.
No, anything but spinach cheese dip then, ma'am.
Round of chicken fingers coming up.
All right, thank you.
Chicken fingers.
All the things we got.
Okay, fellow dads, I'm going to jump in here for just a second.
And thanks for everyone else that's sitting at the table for sitting here.
Lizard Boy, Scales McStuffin, Peyton.
Happy to be here.
Happy to be here.
Happy to be here.
Sorry, that's not what I sound like. This is what what i sound like there's a lot of emotions flying around right now
uh we just had a very intense situation i would like to say that i apologize for flying off the
handle back there it was justified man i get it you know i here's what i'm gonna say i think we
should all i'm gonna grab this there's like a bone on the ground like from a chicken a miscellaneous
bone yeah yeah like this is the feelings bone and whoever's holding the feelings bone it's to talk
i'm instantly rolling and then uh oppose it uh well with your dexterity roll that's gonna be
tough to oppose a natural 20 holy shit henry doesn't remember holding the bone he just
brings it up and then in your hand so I hold it and I just stare at Henry.
Okay.
I'm holding the bone up so you don't talk.
I have the bone.
The bone.
I have the bone.
Okay.
Ron goes to a different table and starts eating chicken fingers to get bones.
Glenn, what were you going to do here?
You took my van.
You left us all high and dry.
What's your plan?
I just want to also urge you guys to both use I feel statements.
I feel like if Henry wanted to talk, he should get the bone.
Glenn.
You guys can't see it, but Henry's frowning really hard right now.
He cannot believe how south this went on him so quickly.
Glenn, just what is the plan here?
We're going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
We've been through a lot.
But here we are.
We're in a bar of some sort where children are fighting.
And you stole our van and left us high and dry.
What's the deal?
So I'm going to lie to my fellow dads.
Okay.
Which I assume is going to be a role here.
Yes.
But I'm going to tell a fib as it were
look i raised my hand oh yeah can i get the just talk i don't want to give you give me the bone
all right okay henry's i was just gonna say uh you need to give glenn the bone for him to talk
and i give the bone to glenn
daryl's a man who plays by the rules thank you for letting me know that i receive the bone to Glenn. And I'm, Daryl's a man who plays by the rules. Thank you for letting me know that, Henry.
I receive the bone.
I stare.
God.
Freddie and the bone go into each other.
Hitting with zingers.
I wrap my hands around the bone.
And I say,
look, the plan was get out of immediate danger
because that battle of the bands was going south.
And the only place
logically that we knew we were all
headed was Waterdeep
and to wait for you guys here
and we found a drinking hole
and we decided to come in
and wait it out. And Nick
jumps in and says, and what we were thinking
Sorry, can I have the bone?
Can I hand the bone?
You have the bone, you can hand. Can I hand the bone? Yes, you can have the bone. You have the bone.
You can hand it.
So I feel that also our plan was to get a lot of money together
so we could buy back the other kids from slavery.
You don't have any money.
How are you going to rescue kids that have been sold into slavery?
Can we start rolling some sense motive checks here?
Yes.
Okay.
So, Friday, you're going to roll persuasion,
and the rest of you are going to roll insight with advantage because you are
not really inclined to believe anything he's saying right now.
Alright, that's a 14 plus 7
21. I swear to God
Daryl Wilson straight up rolled a natural 20
again. Oh my God. Two in a row plus
one. So 21. Jesus
Christ. Okay, so you got a 19.
I got a 19 plus 3.
Oh damn. Alright, no one
is buying the bullshit from the close boys.
Son, give me the bone.
Are you going to be nice?
No, I'm not.
I'm going to talk some real.
I'm going to talk for real.
Ron walks over with a plate of bones and is like the Oprah of chicken finger bones.
You get a bone and you get a bone.
Ron, can I have a quick chicken finger?
My blood sugar is a little low.
They're just bones.
Okay. Everybody grabs a bone. I grab a bone chicken finger? My blood sugar's a little low. They're just bones. Okay.
Everybody grabs a bone.
I grab a bone.
I grab all those bones.
So as this happens,
Scar McCracken slinks over the table,
and he goes,
Seems like you guys got a little argument going on.
You know how we usually solve these arguments here at Bullywogs.
You want to step into the icosagon?
Daryl Wilson, nice to meet you.
What's your name, sir?
My name is Scar McCracken.
Could you give us just one second?
I will be here.
Okay.
And he steps back one step and then temples his hands together.
That man definitely wants us to fight, which, depending on what happens soon, may happen.
Glenn, I just want you to think for one second.
Henry's boys are missing.
If I see my boy, as of right now, I'm going to have to eat his skin.
And Ron doesn't know where her son is either.
And we have found your son.
And we put our lives on the line.
We did everything we could to help him.
And you guys seem to be okay.
Ron can't help it that he has an angel's voice that has come down from on high.
None of us knew that that was going to happen.
And Ron knew it was going to happen.
You knew it was going to happen.
Henry, I have to be honest.
I knew it was going to happen.
I knew nobody could compete with these gorgeous, gorgeous pipes of mine.
But Henry, I have to apologize,
which is the first time I think I've ever done anything like that.
But once I opened up these pipes and started singing Silent Night,
I knew that crowd
was well they were really proud of me lizard boy scales mcstuffins puts his hand on your forearm
and closes his eyes and is just like nodding and i thought that that was pretty fucking rad
it was ron it was rock and roll i just want you to know that i've done everything i can to try
keep it together okay this is a team here and i just want to say as a teammate, you let down your team, Glenn,
and I'm worried about my son.
I think we're all worried about our sons, and I just wish you had respected us a little
bit more as a man.
We all have bones.
You all have bones.
Go ahead, Henry.
Talk.
This is a safe space now.
And thanks for teaching me that term, Henry, safe space.
I like it.
Yeah.
It's a good term.
People use it a lot for a lot, safe space. I like it. Yeah. You know, it's a good term.
People use it a lot for a lot of different things.
I like it. It's gotten a little watered down in the culture lately, but I think it still has value.
I don't care about that part.
It's all good.
I kind of gesture to Skarro like, hey, where's my fucking money?
I got five to one on that guy.
Oh, sorry.
While that's going on, I'm telling Daryl about an article in the New Yorker that he should
read about safe spaces when we get back to Earth.
Skarro approaches and goes, ah, yes, yes, here's your 15 coins. Did you bet
on the child fight?
Correction. Out of earshot
of Skaro, I go, I
ensured that we would have
some money to move around
here in the Forgotten Realms as I put
the 15 on the table. Okay, okay.
Henry, just get it together, Henry. Just
breathe for a second. Sounds like a smart business
decision. Thank you, Ron. Here breathe for a second. Sounds like a smart business decision.
Thank you, Ron.
Here's what I'm suggesting.
That's a thing about the return on investment, the ROI, I think. Yeah?
I'm still holding this bone like it means anything.
Also, he's doing it in real life. It's like mimicking holding a bone, Will Campos is. It's great.
I'm going to say this, fellow dads. Other than Ron singing, which was great,
but I got to admit, Ron, I'm a little disappointed that you knew it was
going to affect the plan poorly, and you did it anyway.
You're disappointed? You're not mad?
You're...
You're...
You're disappointed?
Ron, take a D12 of psychic damage.
You found, like, the most powerful
insult. You hear the voice of your father
echoing in your skull.
Ron takes 10 damage.
Henry realizes that he has triggered some issues for Ron.
So Henry is going to cast healing word on Ron.
And he's going to say a healing word and say, it's okay.
We all get disappointed sometimes, but I forgive you and we all love you.
And then I cast healing word.
Carol waves to the waitress
to get some more chicken wings for Ron.
Ron mops his teary face with chicken wings.
She comes back and she's like,
I'm sorry, we are out of chicken wings.
We have the spinach.
You said specifically not the spinach?
Not the spinach.
That's all we have left.
I glare at Glenn. Not the spinach.
Ron heals for 10.
Oh, wow.
Well done.
Yeah, so you still feel a little sad, but, you know.
Right back where you were.
No, that's what it is.
What do you want to eat there, Ron?
What?
Let's take a look at the...
Well, actually, what do you have?
Spinach cheese dip.
I will take the chicken wings.
Right, we're out of those.
That's what I was just telling you that.
What do you have? Spinach
cheese dip. Okay, I'm thinking,
I don't know about you fellas, but I'm thinking chicken wings.
Alright, you know what? I'll go look in the back.
Can you just check?
You know who he is, right?
Nope. I mean, I'm getting a sense
of it.
That's hi, I'm Ron. It's me.
I don't know who that is. i'm ron oh great wonderful you'll
find out about it soon enough he's gonna be all the rage very soon gentlemen here's what i'd like
to say i think all of us goofed up in our separate ways in our last escapade and so what i'd like to
propose is a reset and And from this point forward,
dads don't do other dads dirty.
I like that.
Henry, I see you're sticking your bone in the middle there.
Should we all stick our bones together?
Bones in the middle.
Dads don't do other dads dirty.
Can we all do that?
Can we all put our bones in the middle and say dads don't do other dads dirty?
Peyton's like, absolutely, yeah.
We'll say that, but... Not you, Peyton. It's important. important when you look at the game tape you don't just sit there and you say everybody on the team did a bad job you look at what actually
happened i'll say this that's a pile of bullshit we did not do each other dirty glenn did us dirty
and all i'm asking is glenn i would like you to apologize to the three of us and say that what
you did was wrong.
And then we will forgive you because that's what we do because we're a team.
We will all make mistakes.
Ron was strong enough to apologize, Glenn.
Yes.
And we're all very proud of Ron for that.
Nick looks at you and he grits his teeth and he just shakes his head.
Don't do it, Dad.
Don't you fucking do it, Dad.
Not to these cucks.
Oh, my gosh. Did we hear that do it, dad. Not to these cucks. Oh my gosh.
Did we hear that?
No, he's not saying it.
It's all in the eyes.
Very expressive eyes.
He's doing a lot of eyebrow work.
He's like The Rock.
Glenn, you gotta apologize.
No bones about it.
Oh, the first dad joke of the episode.
All right, well, the kids are going to take a
automatic.
So you just did altogether
11 damage to several children.
Oh my gosh. That's more damage than the whole
fight. That's the most bones
without any David Boreanaz.
That's right, Glenn. You really boned
it up. And then I hold up a bone.
It was okay.
Daddy master said it. It bone. Eh, it was okay. No, it was good.
Daddy master said it.
It counts.
It counts.
Glenn, no chickening out on this apology.
Yum.
Just down to you now.
Sort of directing that all out, Glenn.
Listen, guys.
Let me just wing it here real quick.
Well done.
Now you have to send it somewhere.
All that damage.
I think McCracken's heard all of this.
Okay.
Will he know we heard him?
No, he'll just get a splitting migraine.
Yeah, fuck him.
He runs a child battle ring.
The Kraken's getting the brunt of that.
So he gets one, two, three, four D4.
Oh, shit.
We may kill a man here today with our dad.
He falls to the ground.
Oh, my gosh.
His eyes roll back into his head,
and he just, boom, hits the ground.
Oh, God.
Home, what happened? I think Glenn was about to say something. Glenn? Oh my gosh. His eyes roll back into his head and he just boom and hits the ground. Oh God. Home.
What happened?
I think Glenn was about to say something.
Glenn.
Guys.
And I give,
I give Nick a look like this is what my eyes are saying,
which is we're going to need these guys' help to get home.
And at the very least having a bunch of people at a table mad at you is bad
band vibes.
A lot of that's a lot of eyebrow work there.
Freddie, we're going to need you to post a video of you communicating that with eyebrow
gestures on the Twitter. That's a good one. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do that. Guys, I agree.
What we did back there, what I did to you guys, as you Henry put it, did you dirty?
It was whack. Let me at least say that I was doing it because I was fearing for my life
and the life of my son. And I think any of you, when faced with that situation,
would have done the same with your own kid. That aside, that aside, I recognize that I did you all
dirty. Daryl, I'm sorry I took your baby. I took your beast.
I think you'll be wanting these back.
Glenn's got that half-assed apology down from YouTubers and influencers.
I'm sorry you were offended.
Listen, I'm sorry you guys were offended. I'm going to slide the keys over.
I grabbed them.
Henry, thank you for mediating this.
Again, I'm sorry about your kids and ron i guess i forgive you
for singing a christmas song that good again kind of my thing but and and imperiling myself
and the kid but i know you didn't mean to but he did mean to i meant to right wait glenn is
your apology to ron to forgive him for something that he did?
Hold on, Daryl.
And I'm sorry I ditched out on you.
I'm sorry you took my pipes so personally, but, you know, it's just my pipes.
Good enough.
Dads don't do dads dirty on three.
One, two, three.
Dads don't do other dads dirty.
Bullshit.
And you see Nick standing up in his chair
and he points at
all of you. You guys are a bunch of
fucking hypocrites. You just want to
control all this bullshit. You only
like him because he helps you out
fucking finding your stupid kids and the second he finds
his kid and wants to make his life a little bit better
you just want to shit all over it. Fuck you!
Fuck you! And his eyes
roll back into his head and when they come back
the irises are purple, or the corneas are
purple. And you hear the voice that you
previously heard coming out of Lark and Sparrow.
Nick turns and looks at
Glenn and he says, you cannot
raise a child
because you are a
child. You will never understand what it takes to raise a child because you are a child.
You will never understand what it takes to
raise a life until you get
one of your own.
Hold on, hold on.
I have the bone.
Hi, Darrell Wilson here, nice to meet you.
Are you the guy from The Dream? Yes, I just thank God.
What's your name, sir? I put my hand out.
Darrell Wilson, nice to meet you. What's your name? I'm not gonna tell
you my name. I'm figuring it out soon enough. Why won't you tell's your name, sir? I put my hand out. Darrell Wilson, that's me. What's your name? I'm not gonna tell you my name. I'm figuring
it out soon enough. Why won't you tell us your name?
Yeah, what are you afraid of? Chump? I'm a slapnick.
Okay. Roll
an attack. Two. Alright.
You try to slap him, and he just
catches your hand, and he goes- Good idea,
Glenn. I try a slapnick also. Alright, go ahead and
roll attack. That's a six.
Alright, he grabs your hand, too. Henry, he's got
two hands. So he just
grabs both of your hands and before anybody else can do anything
he just fucking like bam bam
from the Flintstones just like throws
you just with your wrist and bam you fall
on the fucking ground hard. Like
far harder than any 13 year old should
ever be able to throw somebody. Like what dice
heart? Like
If you were to like quantify how many dice heart that
is. You both take a d8 of damage.
And then he starts to levitate.
And he says,
You are not worthy
of being fathers.
You take your children for granted.
You take yourselves for granted.
You take the very act of fatherhood for granted.
And if it takes every breath in my
body and every bit of dark magic
I can conjure,
I will make sure that you regret the day you ever had children.
Hey, Daryl, isn't your kid's name Grant?
And he just goes, Jesus fucking Christ.
And he begins to fade out of existence.
And for a brief second, Nick's eyes go back from purple.
And he looks at Glenn and he goes, Dad! Dad, what did I do?
Dad, I'm sorry!
This is my fault somehow, I feel like. I didn't, I didn't,
I wasn't a good enough son. I fucked this up. I'm so sorry. When you get a chance, Nick,
you stab.
I'll keep that in mind, Dad. I've learned
nothing!
And he fades out of existence.
Check, please.

And thank God that Glenn
