Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grown-ups.
Content warnings can be found in the episode description.
Welcome to the wide underworld of sports, brought to you by Gluttony,
where Tantalus Tuesdays are back.
Slide on down to the third circle today for a bottomless bounty of fruit and wine
that shall ever remain just out of reach.
Ooh, sounds frustrating!
Now on to the action.
It was an all-out soccer slugfest in mega hell today
as the 12-in-1 took on a ragtag team of teens, feds, and demonic royalty.
Head ref Lucifer the Morning Star was handing out red cards like it was Valentine's Day.
But one player who escaped his attention, and everyone else's,
was prodigal prince of hell Hermie the Unworthy. In play after play, Hermie was left high and dry by his attention, and everyone else's, was prodigal prince of hell, Hermie the Unworthy.
In play after play, Hermie was left high and dry by his teammates,
who seemed to forget he was even there.
Let's check out the highlights.
Marlowe struggles to find opening.
Hermie the Unworthy is wide open.
Wait, no, she shoots.
It's good.
It's a goal.
Looks like it's all up to me, per usual.
Another incredible save by Hermie.
This kid's a wall.
What's that down there?
Looks like goalie Taylor Swift is dragging an unconscious Lincoln Lee Wilson back to the penalty box.
That's the exact same spot where Hermie's already covering.
There. Finally, I'll get some defense back here.
Normal Oak Garcia crawling towards Hermie the Unworthy.
Looks like the team clerk might throw a spoiler too.
Wait a moment. He crawls right past his teammate.
What is he doing?
He goes straight to the dead body of teammate Brad Schmecken
and tears him from the celestial embrace of the Almighty Father.
Come on, Schmecken, you're our only hope!
Ace reporter Amelia Earhart is down on the field
for a post-game interview with Hermie the Unworthy.
Amelia.
Do you guys remember who we wanted to talk to?
Yes, it's me, Hermie, here for the interview. Was it Jody?
It was Jody, right? I'm literally standing right here.
I'm waving to the camera right now. Somebody notice
me! I'm sorry, I'm drawing a blank.
But you know what they say, if you
don't remember, it probably wasn't
important. Up next, more
NFL stars are turning to Christ
on their deathbeds. What does that
mean for the upcoming Hell vs. Heaven
Pro Bowl? Find out after this.
Welcome to Dungeons & Daddies,
not a BDSM podcast.
Actually,
it's a D&D podcast.
Actually, it's a D&D podcast.
It's about four teens
from our world
going through some strife
as they try and figure out
how to save our world from another world.
Whatever, man.
You're right.
Whatever.
I love this.
I do right now, man.
I love that the season started as a Monster of the Week thing and has just turned into a JRPG where four teenagers have to kill God.
I think that's beautiful and brave.
That actually turned me around in this whole season.
I like this season.
Yeah.
My name is Freddie Wong.
I play Taylor Swift.
Jimmy, how about you shut up during my intro?
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Spicy.
Jimmy's with us once again.
My name is Freddie Wong.
I play Taylor Swift, the rock and roll.
No, I'm not.
I'm the icy cool.
God damn it.
God damn it.
Zany Ranger team. Yes, right. Z zany we're adding adjectives until one of them
sticks uh this week's teen fact for taylor taylor does play sports and has played sports growing up
you know sort of the ones you expect he has always made a beeline just like he did in the previous
episode always made a beeline to goalie because his belief was that like yeah goalie you can just
sit there and it's true wow you just sit there i just came up with like a teen fact for taylor that i think is like really
good oh yeah let's switch it up this week um let's all throw our character sheets into a big bowl
let's do that um if you have one for me too that'd be nice i think that taylor played t-ball until he
was like 16 because he just could never actually hit the ball but
they're like well you still want to play champ so like go ahead just see that I'll even go so far
as to say the problem is is because Taylor never internalized the baseball swing because he believed
that like if he figured out and got the muscle mechanics for the baseball swing down it would
fuck him up because his inability to cut through tatami mats
with a fucking katana would be affected.
There's a very specific cutting technique.
Does Taylor ever try to, like, he's got the baseball bat,
and then he just, like, pulls it a little bit back and forth
in the hopes it'll do a home run, like when they do the katana.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Taylor never swung.
He would always just be like, shh, shh, and then it'd be like, heh.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, just one time it's going to fucking sail through, but't ever happened goalie taylor that was my all right matt we've
stalled long enough yeah i forgot his dad fact before the episode started i might have done this
one before but whatevs hey everybody my name is matthew arnold i got a little tickle my throat
too you're all trapped in here with me now i'm fine my throat sounds a little weird though hey
everybody my name is matth. Matt Arnold, throat goat,
giving us the throat updates.
The protective paladin
of the group. Wait, wait, wait. No, no.
I'll start over. My name is Matthew Arnold. I play
Lincoln Lee Wilson, the school-at-home
soccer kid who's the protective paladin
of the group. Really, really, really quick fact
about Lincoln. His favorite
meal is... Can you guess?
Spaghetti. Soccer. Anyone with his
parents. No, like meal. No, foot.
Something with feet. Not food, like what meal
of the day. Oh. Lunch.
Lunch, everyone he has at his parents.
After kicking a thing. Dessert.
Orange slices with his dad that he loves so much.
Dads, dads. God, my dads
are great. It's just brunch.
It's just a nice brunch. That's it?
That's it? Yeah, brunch.
You're such a piece of shit.
Fuck you, Matt.
Matt is a bad person.
Agreed? Yeah? He's a brunch
boy. Well, he's a brunch boy?
That sounds really pejorative.
That sounds like the worst
slur. Nothing nicer than a little brunch
with your dad on Sunday.
A little virgin mimosas.
Why? Don't use that word. No. Virgin mimosas? Just orange There you go, fucking brunch boy. Little virgin mimosas. Why? Why? Don't use that word.
No.
Virgin mimosas?
Just orange juice.
Just my virgin little brunch boy.
Have you ever had
the reverse mimosa, Matt?
Just vodka?
No, no.
The reverse mimosa
is Orangina and white wine.
Okay.
That just sounds pretty good.
That sounds delightful.
It works.
It totally works.
It's not really reverse
because both of those
are bubbly, but okay.
White wine is not bubbly.
Oh, I was thinking
sparkling white wine. Orangina is carbonated.ly. Oh, I was thinking sparkling white wine.
That's all the white wine I have.
Yeah.
Oh, that's fun.
That's good.
Man.
All right.
A couple of real Orangina heads on the podcast.
Yo, what up, Orangina heads?
What up, Oranginos?
Text your gals.
You're either a brunch boy or you're a Regina head.
I literally thought it was Orangina.
Yeah.
When we all get together, we have what are called orgies.
The guy who created the amazing orange really put his whole orangina into that one.
Wow.
The amazing orange?
The amazing orange.
The annoying orange.
No, he's amazing.
He's hired people across the world.
Follow me.
So you're a bucko brunch boy.
I got it.
Well, we don't use that word here, Jimmy.
Sorry, sorry.
Jimmy, slow down.
Cool off a little, Jimmy.
Just relax.
Take a walk, buddy.
Hey, everyone.
I'm Will Campos.
I play normal Oak, the perky, peppy, chipper-jerry, buddy. Hey, everyone. I'm Will Campos. I play Normal Oakley Perky
Peppy Chipper Jerry School Spirit. Mascot
kid who doesn't know who he is anymore.
Here's Normal's team fact this week. This entire
adventure, he's still been doing that
homework. He's got like,
he's just like all his assignments.
He's still clocking them in. He's not getting good grades on
them, but he's doing the reading. He's got his
contacts in all of his classes.
What homework, though? We're in school matt school where is he getting the homework he's got his
contacts you gotta pack it and then he has a little spell and he talks to his friend jenny
who's in english class with him and she gives him the download on like what the new english
homework is and what they're reading they're reading dang brown's the davinci code right now
okay link had no reason to distrust normal,
but you're saying this entire time
you've had a contact to the real world.
It could have been getting.
That's fine.
It's to do homework.
It's not to betray the team.
It's to do homework.
Normal sounds a little tired this week.
It's not because Will maybe has a tickly throat.
It's because he was up all night
doing his pre-calc homework.
Will's in a little TV monitor here
because he's separated from us
because he may be a little sick. He's got a little
cold. Yeah, Will potentially has a cold,
so he is being fed through a very
complex AV setup. If you detect
it, not like food-wise. He's being fed by
zookeepers. Yeah.
He's in our room with us. I'm in that
milking machine that Jordan
uses to poop in. He's in Freddy's apartment
in a separate room. We can see him on a monitor
because Freddy has cameras all over his room so he can watch himself fuck after the fact.
And he's milking himself.
And he's getting milked by my milking machine.
But we have cameras into his enclosure and he has been provided enrichment.
Yeah.
That's why.
He's happier here than he would be in the wild.
You can stop protesting.
Anthony, that's definitely true.
Okay.
My name is Beth May and I play Scary Marlow. Boo! that's definitely true. Okay, my name is Beth May and I
play Scary Marlow.
Boo! She's the best.
She's a goth punk seeker
of darkness who is not like the
other warlocks. And
fun teen fact
about Scary this week
is that her favorite animal
is the pied fly
catcher. What? what pied fly catchers sometimes cooperate
to mob a predator if their neighbor is at risk but if they don't like their neighbor
their other pied fly catcher then they do not cooperate okay seems like beth's trying to
communicate to us through bird facts no i literally it, it's just a fun fact. It's just a fun fact.
I don't know if you're reading into it or anything, but it's
just a fun fact. I'm just Googling
the pied flycatcher. It definitely looks like a
pretty goth bird. It's like a black and white bird.
I definitely see why it is. Whatever you do, don't look up
pied flycatcher pronunciation.
So then I might be fucked.
Pied flycatcher.
Jimmy. Hey, everyone.
What's up? My name is Jimmy Wong, playing Jodie Foster. Once more into the sunset, Jodie's P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A. P.A.

P.A.
P.A. that sounds like, Will. You know what that sounds like. It must be nice to live a life
where you can listen to Pornhub with sound.
There's sound on that thing?
Porn's never been the same
since they went into that talkie era.
I remember when you used to watch Silent Porn
and it would have to cut to a title screen
of somebody saying,
oh, fuck, oh, fuck, and it got cut.
Yeah, and you'd have to hold the roll
while you read the text, like, okay, okay, cool, cool, cool.
The piano players, they're like, man, I should have gotten a better job.
He was singing in the rain, but his
horn is like, the lady's like,
they don't want me anymore because my voice is too annoying.
Oh, yeah!
Oh, wow! I can't stand this
cock!
Sounds like fucking David Lee Roth
fucking stems from fucking Van Halen.
Oh, yeah!
Well.
Sorry, Jimmy.
I do have a dad fact.
Jody's dad fact is that
in order to remake his life
and become the man that he wants to be,
basically to get his old life back.
He's resorted to buying books that are on recommended lists,
that are inspirational.
So he's got like the Obama,
like 10 Obama's read books of the year.
We're talking more like 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson.
Oh, no!
He's got like the longest in hell.
I knew it!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this time around, he actually has the book in front of him.
It's Warrior of the Light.
This is by Paolo Coelho.
He was actually the author
of The Alchemist.
I hated The Alchemist.
And Veronica Decides to Die,
which is a better book
in my opinion.
But what he does
is he'll just flip
to a random page
every day
and he'll read a passage
from it
and let that inform
how he's going to live his life.
We can't do this
for copyright reasons.
Yeah, I can't say that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't do it.
So there's 136 pages.
I just want someone to give me a number
and we'll just do a little bit of Jody's daily exercise.
69.
69.
This page is a little sticky.
Come on, Jimmy.
Jimmy, that's disgusting.
Jimmy, why?
Wait, why?
Why?
Did you come on it?
Is there a picture in there?
Did you ejaculate on your book?
Anyway, this one says,
a warrior of the light
accepts his personal legend completely
and the warrior...
I want to give this guy a fucking noogie.
His companions say,
he has remarkable faith.
For a moment, the warrior feels proud
and immediately feels ashamed.
Or she.
Got to empower.
He immediately feels proud
and ashamed of what he or she has heard
because he or she does not have as much faith
as they appear to have.
At that moment, his angel whispers,
you are only an instrument of the light.
There is no reason to feel proud or to feel guilty.
Let's find this guy.
There are only reasons to feel happy,
and the warrior of the light, a.k.a. Jody,
aware now that he is but an instrument,
feels calmer and more secure.
Dude, this guy deserves such a swirly.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm going to take his fucking lunch money.
I hated The Alchemist.
I never read it.
I never will now.
I never started beef with some author.
Is he still alive?
Well, you know,
a warrior of the light knows his own faults.
I'm Anthony Burch,
daddy master and a warrior of the light.
I don't really have a dad fact today
other than the fact that Beth got me
a really nice t-shirt
that has the IHOP logo
but it says I hope
and then it has a crying
pat of butter
on top of a bunch of pancakes
and the bottom of the shirt
says that hell doesn't exist.
Very good.
Well, they should not
listen to this podcast
nor say the word bucko.
When we last left you, you were, as we have so often done,
in the middle of a big, like, kind of sports thing that we then kind of just stopped doing halfway through
because plot reasons.
In this case, the plot reason was that you managed to get the pick,
which is an anchor, away from Glenn.
Barely.
Link managed to grab it, and then Link snapped it in half.
So, Link, can you tell me a little bit about what's going through your mind?
Let's go into the mind of a Lincoln Lee Wilson.
I'll say that.
I didn't think that was going to be the end of the episode,
so now I've got to get back into this mind space of this moment.
Everyone clear out Matt's doing his thing.
He's going to run into his mind palace.
You're Lincoln Lee Wilson.
You're just 12 years old.
He's 12? Two years years ago he was 12 years old
you're 12 plus 2 13 okay this is the fucking watchman fucking old monologue two years ago
that's what it was my fact was gonna be that the fucking normal soccer ball shape confounds him and
that's why he tried to learn geometry
but he doesn't get how those shapes
can make a ball. It doesn't make sense.
Oh, like a bunch of pentagons or whatever? But they're not just
pentagons. Some are pentagons but some are
hexagons. It makes no sense. That's why his
dad's always got by on the volleyball shape. Go back to your ASMR.
Anyways, okay. I break it.
There, okay. What the heck?
Scary. What are you doing?
Normal just, I don't know. I don't know normal just i don't know i don't know normal what
do you mean you don't know why'd you break the pig because i just i can't i can't i just can't
anymore i can't look at these adults they're fighting over whatever and my dad killed people
and i've killed like i tried to do the right thing i killed them i don't know what this is i said i
love you doesn't do anything i just can't i don't know who to trust i don't know what to do but i
scary i just can't not have you with us anymore you four are the only people i have. I don't know who to trust. I don't know what to do, but it's scary. I just can't not have you with us anymore.
You four are the only people I have.
And I don't know to trust you, but I can't trust anybody else at this point.
And I don't know.
I don't trust Will either.
But she said this is the way for less people to die.
And I just don't want to.
She said that Willie said that was the way.
So what are you doing?
I broke it because it's broken now.
We got it.
So what's the big deal?
We got it.
We're two fourths of the way done, right?
And then we can just stop all this.
So it sounds like the thing
that's motivating you to break it
was a combination of fear
and love for keeping scary in the group.
Would that be fair to say?
Yeah, I think he doesn't want to get into a fight
and he doesn't know what to do.
At least this will maybe help her
because he doesn't want to push her away anymore.
Sure.
That's fucking, that's love, baby.
So let's leave it up to the gods.
Why don't you roll a D20
and one through 10,
you're going to have
a little bit more fear than love
and 11 through 20,
you're going to have
a little bit more love than fear.
Just like real life.
Wait, was high good or bad?
High is good.
Oh, I got 17.
Okay.
Normal, you see an explosion
of Lou come from the-
Lou come?
Yeah, Lou come,
come from the anchor all over you.
The Pornhub theme plays
and you feel a positive energy emanating from the anchor. Blue cum? Yeah, blue cum come from the anchor all over you. The Pornhub theme plays and you feel
a positive energy
emanating from the explosion
of cum from the guitar pick
and you know that
something has changed
in the balance
of how the doodler
is currently feeling.
There was nothing
but negative energy
in it before
but now the negative
and the positive
are kind of balanced out.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, that was really scary.
Whoa.
I mean, what's wrong? Like I broke
the thing. Yeah, but you had like a little more, it went well. It went good. It didn't go good.
Why not scary? I did what you asked me to do. I know, but don't trust me. I'm, I told you what
to do, but why'd you do it out of love? Like, why can't you hate me like everybody else?
Cause I don't know. Maybe I do. I just know that the four of us have to do this together i don't know i don't hate you whatever okay if you want me to
hate you i'll hate you i'm mad at you yeah so that's not the same as hating someone like i'm
mad at a lot of translators over the years but that doesn't mean i hate them doesn't mean i hate
them looks scary like what have the three of us done i just don't know i get why maybe you trust
this willie guy more than your dad but like why you just have the three of us done? I just don't know. I get why maybe you trust this Willie guy more than your dad,
but like,
why do you just trust the three of us?
Like I did the thing.
Where is Willie?
Nick came back,
but Willie didn't.
Where,
where is he?
So Nick hears you say his name and leaps off of the bleachers over the
soccer field and lands.
And what would be blade stance,
but he doesn't have any arms in front of you.
We're still all pretty legless over here too,
right?
Yeah.
You're still,
you're still on the field. Oh yeah legless? Oh yeah, to update everybody on leg situations. The ones who lost
your legs, you're next to your legs and Jody and Glenn are currently fighting over the same leg
and are currently cat-dogged together by that leg. Nick comes over and casts some low-level
limb reattachment spells on everyone that's not Jody and glenn so you have your your limbs back
now lean crosses his finger hoping for like uh what's the rookie of the year situation he's like
come on and he winds up his leg to kick the ball funky butt loving no what's the one where he like
breaks his arm yeah yeah yeah what is funky butt loving oh well where he's testing out his throwing
arm after he gets the cast off and he hits the doctor in the nose and the doctor goes funky but loving and as was the rule for jokes in the 90s they had to have
another character repeat it by going did you just say funky but loving and it's somehow funnier the
second that's a good joke it's a good joke i mean that's just a good joke like format like a meme
format yeah do it and then do it again yeah anyways i assume i just kick the ball normally
i think there's a one in 100 chance
yeah you now have a rookie of the year leg situation what's the chance yeah roll d100
if you get 100 you'll get it damn it i got 73 oh so close all right there's no 73 and warrior of
so nick says he's back in uh san dimas did I hear right that you're friends with him?
Well, it's more like a mentor and then like...
Yeah, yeah, don't trust her.
It's really weird, Dad.
So he turns to you, Taylor,
and he goes,
I gotta say, I was sort of in favor of you
going your own way
and sort of being a Ronin
walking the wastes alone without your friends,
but you all did manage to like
do a thing. So I
guess credit where credits
do.
Yeah. It's more like a
mentor chosen one kind of scenario.
She thinks she's the chosen one. Clearly
I am the chosen one. These are my compatriots.
My fellow brothers and sisters in arms.
These are my sidekicks, if you will.
You're not. No, you're not,
neither are you the chosen one.
I'm the chosen one.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
I, mm, spit it out.
What's abnormal?
All right, cards on the table.
Do we want Scary back in the group?
Like, I know that we just had a fun soccer game,
but, like, she's against us.
She doesn't want what we want.
Willie sucks.
Scary, remember, she killed a guy she helped
him kill a guy none of that changed so no offense scary but like we're all talking like it's all
in the past but it's like this is very much of the future right like that came really close link and
like i don't know like you were trying to help her like i'm happy that i wound up helping me but like
you were trying to help her and you're all like well i got i want scary to trust me but like do
you not care if i trust you like that was a really risky move dude so like i don't know like i'm just
okay but what's not fine what's not been a risky move, dude. So, like, I don't know. Like, I'm just feeling a little like.
Fine.
What's not been a risky move?
What are you talking about?
We've been doing this whole.
Do we?
Okay.
Let's fast forward.
That's all I'm saying.
Let's fast forward to the next anchor.
Look, I'll tell you this.
Scary wants to destroy it.
We don't want to destroy it.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
We'll see when we get there.
That's not good enough, man.
We got to have a plan.
No, Scary's focused on this 100% of the day.
Every day, 24-7.
She's not doing homework like you are.
I see you late at night focusing on homework.
We all keep our head in the game.
Yeah, we're trying to save the world here, and you're doing math?
You've got to contact the whole outside world.
Maybe someday we'll have to get the sign of a cosign
to figure out something with the doula.
You don't know.
The only cosigning you'll be doing is signing your own death warrant.
Maybe you'll find that you're the only one who wants what you want.
You guys are on trial here.
I have been consistent about what I want from day one, which is to help the doer.
Maybe it doesn't line up with what we want.
So maybe you should be the one that gets lost.
Maybe I should.
Scary, stop it.
Don't you just see, like, everybody's bad.
I don't know what you're worried about, Normal.
There's no good people.
There's no bad people.
You don't like your dad.
My dad's bad, Normal. There's no good people. There's no bad people. You don't like your dad. My dad's bad, too.
Everybody's bad.
So can we just try to minimize just people that I...
Who's not?
He nods over at Normal.
He goes, Normal's sister.
The chosen one.
I'm sorry?
Your sister, Normal.
Oh, my sister here?
That's a pretty funny joke.
I didn't know your parents didn't tell you.
Oh.
My uncle... Or not your uncle Oh. My, I'm sorry.
Or neither your uncle either.
Yeah, oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Yeah, you're the, oh, I shouldn't be the one to tell you this.
Yeah, why?
What are you doing?
You are a, what we would call in the parental world, a pleasant surprise.
Okay, that's, I'm okay with that.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, you know, it's a pleasant surprise that, you know, you got this son and he turned out so great, right?
Sure, yeah. What, you know, it's a present surprise that, you know, you got this son and he turned out so great, right? Sure, yeah.
What do you mean by surprise?
Well, because they just wanted to have the one hero.
Oh.
And there's a family sort of power that sort of got passed down.
And she sort of got, like, the best stuff.
And you are you.
So that's something to be proud of, I guess.
But I don't
want to distract you from the argument you guys are having.
This is why
I don't have friends, so I don't have to do this
kind of stuff, so I'm just going to
maybe step back. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're saying my
sister... Hell yes, I'm cool, Dad. So the whole
doodler bloodline thing got passed to my
sister, and I'm like, what am I in this?
Just nothing? That's a great question
for your dad. Man, this is more proof. Yeah, we get proof you're yeah we get it like why do you bring it up well okay don't
come at me just because you found out your mom and dad didn't want you man don't get mad at me
whoa for that just calm down and hermy goes i know what it's like to be unwanted oh my god
hermy where were you i've been here the entire time trying to help you everything a single thing
i said went unheard and unlistened to.
I feel like I should have had to roll for that if that was like...
Go ahead and roll then, coward.
Perception.
You perceive Hermie's pissed.
I got a natural one.
Exactly.
Exactly my point.
The dice never lies.
Dice knows.
I am sorry, Hermie.
I'm sorry, man.
You know how much Ted Lasso
I've watched? I had so many strategies
for how we could both be better as a team and as
a family. We are winning the game
though. Is this game still even going?
Yes, while you've been talking, it feels
like the other team just scored like a bunch of goals.
But you've been talking for a while
now. And then Glenn and Jody are like, what the
fuck, Jody? We could have stopped those goals.
See how long I've been trying to fucking do this, man!
Do it again! Just reset, you coward!
Oh my god, give me my leg back.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wow, it's a whole family
gathering here. Hermie, great job in the game.
Shut the fuck up, dad.
Jeez. Okay, other son,
can you reattach my
lemmys here? And I'm gonna squish
out Glenn Close's feet from my stumps
and grab my legs. Nick, Nick, over here.
Hook your own man up. His legs
kind of go like one direction and then the other. He's like, oh,
which one do I pick? And so I'm just going to have him roll
for it. So first he goes to Jody and reattaches
Jody's legs and then he goes to you, Glenn, and
reattaches your legs. I'm going to put a hand
down and help Glenn up. I spit in your hand.
I give up on my own accord. Nick, who was just about to
open his mouth to say something to his dad, just kind of
sniffs and goes, yeah, that's what I thought this would be, and just
starts walking away as you argue with each other.
I want to make the most of my time here. I'm going to attempt to
kick Glenn in the nuts as hard as I can.
Okay, go ahead and roll an attack. Rolled in
18. Alright, what's your AC,
Frederick? 14. Alright, it hits.
You get a devil foot right in the
ding-dong. Yeah, so I just kick Glenn as hard as
I can in the nuts, and I look at the rest of the group
and go like, look.
Link shakes his head and just walks away.
Should I get to walk away, Link?
I was going to shake my head and walk away.
Yeah, well, we should all walk away.
You're the one who's putting this problem because you can't make up your mind about what you want to do.
Exactly what that normal person said.
Okay, I'm trying to be cool here.
Normal, are you serious?
Like, I don't make up my mind. I did the thing.
I broke it. I tried to help people before, right? And firefighters died.
Every time we're in a situation, this is how
normal talks. Hey, maybe we should do this
or maybe this. I don't know. I want to do the right thing, but
I don't want to do the wrong thing either. Will somebody make the decision
for me in the end? And then somebody does it.
That's a great normal impression. Thank you. And then somebody does it
and then you get to be on the high ground now.
All I want to do is not kill more people, okay?
He's got his hand on us. He's studying your normal.
All I've done is try to help you three.
I just want to be with the three of us
and can't we just do it? I was just going to sit here
and ask Scary what she
learned so we can concentrate on the thing so we
can be done with all this. I'm sorry, okay?
Anyway, I was trying to say that
you kids don't really have a choice.
Shut the fuck up, dude.
Oh, my God.
You're in my house.
I run up.
Roll attack.
I want to roll a D100 to see.
I want a second chance at the rookie of the year.
All right.
You can either roll a regular attack or the D100.
You can't do both.
I'm rolling a D100.
All right.
I got 57.
All right.
I made my statement, though.
You fucking missed completely.
You hit his inner thigh.
Whatever. You've heard of this when it's that small. I still pretend statement though. You fucking missed completely. You hit his inner thigh. Whatever.
You've heard of this one.
It's that small.
I still pretend like I actually got hit in the nuts.
Okay.
Just to,
you know,
play it up.
But I go,
Hey,
look,
you kids,
I've seen a lot of things in hell and you don't want to split up.
You guys have to find some kind of way to become friendly because look,
I'm sure that's scary over here is more complicated
and has more things going on
than you guys are even thinking about.
Just do some amount of teamwork.
Ask what is happening
because you know what?
This Willy guy,
I'm going to agree with everyone else.
He kind of sucks a lot,
but everyone has reasons
for doing what they're doing.
So if you at least decode some of that,
maybe you can stop bickering
like a bunch of children
and I can get back to running hell
the way I want to.
Nick says,
ignore my shitty dumbass dad.
You should separate.
You should all separate into individual adventures.
What, like your arms have been separated from your body?
Nick, come on, man! Morgan is like,
oh, honey, don't say that. She's like, we're all better off on
our own. See this argument that we're all having?
This doesn't happen when you're on your own, so
peace out. And he kisses his fingers
that would be there if they were there.
Hey, I'll give you guys a ride back to wherever you want to go.
And then Glenn from the ground has crawled over underneath Jody's legs.
And he goes, decode this bitch.
He's going to show you can upper like like fucking Ryu uppercut style dragon punch into the Gooch gonad area.
All right.
Give me an attack roll.
Jimmy, I'm going to kill you.
That's a plus seven to my hit.
They see I'm striking.
That's a natural 20.
Wow.
27.
All right.
Well, that's what you get to determine what happens, bro.
I uppercut your balls and you fly straight to the top floor of fucking hell.
No, you want like a cartoon character when they run away really fast with their eyeball
stay behind.
I like the testicles are like still like still there. And it's the opposite. fucking hell. You know what, you know what like a cartoon character when they run away really fast but their eyeballs stay behind?
They snap like the testicles are like still,
are like still there.
And it's the opposite,
his testicles go up
and the rest of his body
follows them.
He goes,
he disappears
in the sound like a gunshot
ricocheting off of a hard rock.
Okay,
well as I fly upwards,
the last thing I say is,
splitting up is what caused
this whole thing
in the first place.
Bye!
This is splitting up is what caused this whole thing in the first place.
Bye.
Do we want to help the doodler or to kill the doodler?
I would like to not have to kill the doodler.
Let's just get away from all these people who are not helping us.
And just let's just talk to scary and get more information because she had some and then the soccer game happened and i don't know what to do maybe i did the wrong thing
but kissing it or whatever we did didn't do it in that moment i just want the least amount of
people to die as possible and for less blood to be on my hands dad we need a safe house a retreat
sounds like we got some shit to iron out here in the group sure what realm do you want it to be in
so there's one in goof realm but i'm not sure how to get there and then hermy goes i do and then nick says and then there's
one in earth as i know it's a big dark butthole land so i don't know where do you want to go to
set up your safe house so those are the two places there's an anchor those are that's two places
where the anchor or it can take you back to sandemus where normal do you have a priority
you care my priority is to figure out whether I can trust you guys right now, frankly.
You know, let's go to my house.
There's snacks.
Oh, you got the pantry.
We can sit down, we can talk it out,
and we can see how this goes.
Sounds like the most boring thing
I can literally think of.
All right, well, in that case,
you know, maybe I'll just go by myself,
and I'll just leave you guys,
and you guys can figure out
how to figure this shit out on your own.
Nico sounds good and carves with his horn
a portal to your house
in San Dimas,
formerly the Forgotten Realms,
now what you know is home.
I was kind of just saying that.
I don't,
I'm,
oh,
I'll go,
no,
let's go.
Scary,
just come with us,
okay?
I can make more portals.
No,
let's just,
can we just,
for just right now,
just all stay together
for one more time?
Like,
let's get snacks.
That sounds good,
normal.
Let's go get snacks and talk.
Yeah. Is that cool? Yeah. Scary, please. I need. That sounds good, Normal. Let's go get snacks and talk. Is that cool?
Yeah.
Scary, please.
I need to drop off my homework anyway.
Do you have Twizzlers?
No, but we've got the other one.
We got red vines.
Fucking red vines.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So you're going to step through the portal
into Normal's dining room.
We all flick off Jody.
I'm not even there.
I don't feel it.
I'm a warrior of the light.
Yeah, you're flicking off a
Jody-sized silhouette that like exploded
into the roof and then up through all the other
ceilings of hell. I would like to know, though, does
Glenn ever finish killing these last demons of hell?
No, I think you all left before you did it.
As everyone leaves, Glenn goes like,
Ah, shit. Looks like we're back to square one, babe.
Morgan goes, Don't...
You two just kicked each other in the balls over and over.
Your son and your grandson is here.
I feel like I should practically go with them.
You guys suck.
Yeah, we do.
You do.
Can I establish a psychic link to Hermie
and just say some things as a father
before he leaves my realm once more?
Sure.
So Jody, from the now top level of hell,
closes the door.
Son.
Son. Son. Son.
Son.
Son, Hermie.
I'm sorry for abandoning you.
I love you for what it matters.
Bye.
Wow.
Now you're allowed to talk back?
That really covers it.
Is there anything you would like to say?
It's too late.
It's too late.
You said bye.
Oh, Hermie, you should come along with us.
Oh, I get to go too.
Thank you guys so much.
Geez Louise.
Here I come.
Do, do, do, do, do, do.
And he walks through the portal.
He walked kind of mean.
Okay, so you are back in San Dimas.
Is it weeks later or is this a different type of portal?
So yeah, when you come back through the portal,
the first thing you notice is there's a lot of flashing red and blue lights
outside of the windows of the house.
Cop lights?
Yes.
Okay.
The second thing you notice is that there's nobody in the dining room.
It's really, really quiet.
Mom?
We're home.
I'm home.
From upstairs, you hear your mother go,
Normie?
Oh, oh my God.
And you hear her rushing hurriedly down the stairs,
a assault rifle slung over her shoulder, two pistols on her hip.
And she goes, where were you?
Your dad's been looking for you all over the city and the mayor and Willie and all.
What's, what's going on?
Where were you?
We were in hell.
It's complicated, but what's going on?
She goes, your sister is out there somewhere.
I can't find her.
And Willie's got the whole town on lockdown to deal with the mayor and stuff. And I'm locked in here and I don't know where your dads are. Dad, your dad
and your uncle. I don't know where your dad and your uncle are. Okay. So you're like, what? There's
just like the mayor's running around causing problems. That's what I'm picking up right now.
Is that what's going on? So your mom narrows her eyes and she goes, that's the story they want us
to think. And then she fucking swipes a bunch of shit off of her wall and turns it around with a button press and it's got like a bolton board with a bunch of
pictures connected to each other yeah this is our family project board oh yeah sorry i repurposed
it for my conspiracy board but my thinking is that the mayor and this willie guy it might be
a false flag operation okay you. You have my attention.
Go on.
So every time the mayor and Willie have clashed publicly,
which has happened several times,
and it's been very visually appealing,
it's always been to a draw.
Neither one of them has won.
That seems unrealistic.
And more than that,
the more that the mayor's influence has spread and the more her acolytes have taken over much of the town,
the more power has been afforded to daddies by the federal government.
To the point where now Willie can order FBI agents to stay outside my house and keep me in quarantine.
So I think, I think that this goes all the way to the top.
Wow.
Mom, you've been saying things go all the way to the top for so long, but it seems like this in someone's nose. This time for real, though. This time, if it's for real.
Norm, I think your mom's been doodlerized or something.
No, I've been awoken.
So we can't go outside?
If you want to get shot to ribbons by the FBI.
Can I peek open the door?
You peek open the door, and you immediately see a floodlight
right into your face to the point where you almost can't see anything.
And you hear a voice through a megaphone go,
Stay inside.
It's safer inside from the mayor.
Citizen.
Small citizen.
How are you guys doing out there, though?
It's pretty dangerous for you, too, right?
We're good.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
Well, if you ever feel like being safer, maybe we can always take your turn.
You can come in here, and we'll come out there sometime.
So, anyways, just keep up the good work.
Roll persuasion with disadvantage.
Keep up the good work.
Like you got cookies or something?
Are you hungry?
Are you boys hungry?
Oh, disadvantage.
I mean, I'm cute.
I got three.
Okay, so three.
No, that's not.
We're not going to switch places
with you, small child.
That's fine.
Just offer stands
and I just close the door.
Okay.
I mean, okay.
Yeah, it's real.
They're out there.
Norm's mom's like,
oh, they're always at a draw. They can never, you know, win or lose. Well, that's exactly. They're out there. Norm's mom's like, oh, they're always at a draw.
They can never, you know, win or lose.
Well, that's exactly the same as like,
what, you know, normal saying.
Like, do you guys want me in the group or not?
It's always the same draw.
It's always the same, like even matched.
Yeah, sometimes we want you in the group.
Sometimes we don't.
So I'm just saying that what she's saying is bullshit
because it's all a draw all the time.
So there.
As the leader of the group,
I feel behooved to step up here really quick
and just say a few things.
First and foremost, Scary,
you've been doing some real out-of-pocket shit lately,
namely vis-a-vis murdering our school principal
and like just being a general butthead.
Oh, wow.
I had no idea.
Oh, well, if that's the case,
let me be the first to inform you that your actions
have not been becoming a part of
our team, part of this team
of cool teens. Yes, Gary, we made our
choice. We made our choice, which was
Link told you to get out of his house, and then you're
still following us around, so what are you doing here?
Not becoming, not
ladylike, is that what it is? No, it never
says that. Go fuck yourself. Give me a red vine.
Give me a red vine right now.
Normal's mom goes,
oh, of course,
let me get the red vine.
And she takes out a big
cookie jar full of red vines.
Oh my God,
I would never tell another woman
to do anything like that
in such a harsh...
Yeah, she just wants
to be a good host.
Oh, okay.
She knows it wasn't
directed at her.
She says that.
She goes,
I know that wasn't
directed at me.
Okay, okay.
Sometimes you need a red vine.
Yeah, I do.
We also have Shasta Cola.
What flavor Shasta Cola would you like, Scary?
Actually, can I have Shasta, but is it too much?
Mrs. Swallow's Oak Garcia, could you like water it down halfway?
I can't have that much sugar.
From a Shasta?
Mother, I will help you water down Link's Shasta.
And Taylor, I believe we have several Ramunes left over from the last time you came over.
And Scary, if you would like a drink, you are welcome to one because this is a house where we host people.
Cool.
Where's the bathroom?
It's down the hall to your left.
First one on the left.
Okay.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Okay.
And then.
Just by yourself?
I'm going to.
Yeah.
Wait.
What?
Sorry?
What? I don't know. Everybody hearts sorry what was that link it just felt like we're in the middle of talking it's just a little suspicious scary can we just
finish the talk you have to go right now yeah i can't hold it okay well so why don't you just
cool it oh okay well fine i will okay but we'll all be we don't want to listen to you but it's
like there's no is there a window in your bathroom?
And outside,
she's not going to go anywhere.
There's a bunch of FBI agents outside.
I don't know.
We want her to go.
I don't care if she goes.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Well,
no.
Okay.
All right.
Here I go.
All right.
Hey,
scary.
Before you go to the bathroom,
look me in the eye.
Okay.
When you're in there,
you're only going to go to the bathroom,
right?
Like you're not, nothing else.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe I should fucking wash my hands.
Huh?
You ever think about that?
Okay.
Ew, Link, you're a dirty boy.
Always got to wash your hands.
Bathroom and wash your hands.
Okay.
Anything else?
Just come out here and do it with all of us so we can all talk about it.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Why don't I just take a shower right here? I bathe in your blood huh okay fine whatever just go to the
bathroom why are you acting weird yeah yeah i just want to know why you're going to the bathroom
alone i don't know why you're making a big deal what a reversal what a reversal that's gaslighting
on the level of fucking midsummer. That's so good.
Fuck.
So you're in the bathroom.
Yes.
I'm going to put on the nightcap.
Okay.
So you instantly fall asleep and you instantly see a bloodied and harried looking Willie appear to you in your dreams.
And he goes, shit, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just got to use your hand here.
Ha ha. And he holds up Nick's hands.
He goes, ha ha.
I got a hand.
But yeah, they'll fuck him.
Oh, cool. I just got mine back. Oh, ha. He holds up Nick's hands. He goes, ha ha. I got a hand, but yeah, they'll fuck him. Oh, cool.
I just got mine back.
Oh,
Hey,
good for you.
Okay.
So I'm back on like earth,
but not actually real earth.
Obviously.
Um,
puts his ear up to the door of the bathroom.
Link,
what the fuck dude?
I'm asleep.
I'm in like a parallel.
She's honking.
Yeah.
Okay.
She's snorking.
Me,
me,
me.
Do I hear that?
Why don't you roll perception?
And, uh, Beth, you roll disadvantage stealth.
Don't act shocked, Beth, like Scary hasn't done anything to not be too introspective.
She's completely innocent.
17.
All right.
Scary, you rolled disadvantage stealth.
I got a six.
Disadvantage honk shoe.
Six?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you can hear some honk shoeing.
She sleeps when she pees.
Whoa.
That must be so relaxing.
Is that what it's like for all girls
is that why they take so long in the bathroom they're all taking a nap
i wasn't being weird like she put on the hat again she's in there talking to willie
open the door normal do you have a key get her out of there i start kicking the door i'm gonna
kick the door down okay okay okay and i scary i knock on the door no you're in there all right
so nothing happened she's asleep i run back i charge the door. No. You're in there. All right. So nothing happened. She's asleep. I run back.
I charge the door to break through it.
All right.
Give me a strength check.
14 plus two, 16.
All right.
So you splinter the door a little bit.
The joints look like they would take one more hit to get knocked off completely.
And Mrs. Swallow's Aunt Garcia is like, what are you doing?
Link, come on.
This is my house, dude.
What are you doing?
I know she's in there, though.
Yeah, she's in the bathroom.
She's allowed to be in the bathroom.
Who raised you? She's not
supposed to be in there.
All right.
On that, we'll cut back to
Scary's dream. So, Willy goes,
did you get the anchor? Yeah, we
broke it. Listen, they know I'm in
here sleeping. I don't have much time.
I just it listen they know i'm in here sleeping i don't have much time i just have two questions yeah you're sure i should be trusting you right am i sure you should be i think it's up to you who to trust kid but yeah obviously you should be trusting me i'm the
only one who knows what the fuck's going on here and i'm the only one who has to lie to you about
anything yeah that's true and what should I tell them when I wake up?
They're looking for some facts about the doodler,
how to, like, destroy it and stuff like that,
and I can tell them, you know, to destroy it with hate
because that weakens it,
but I need something a little more convincing,
something that will really make them be on my side.
Okay, let's see.
I can tell you how to get to Goof Realm.
I could tell you about the origins of the doodler and how it kills people. Here's what I'll tell you. I'll tell you how to get to Goof Realm. I could tell you about the origins of the doodler
and how it kills people. Here's what I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything about the whole
plan. I'll tell you the rest of what we're going to do. You're going to destroy the anchors.
You can get to Goof Realm by having the most horrible, most heart shattering scam done to you.
And once we've got all the anchors destroyed, we're going to head back to Daddy's HQ and we're
going to fucking do a ritual there. And that's going to allow us to communicate with the doodler. And that's when you, not me,
are going to communicate with the doodler. So if they're scared of me, they don't have to be
because he's going to talk to you. Whoa. That's a lot of power. Yeah. Like I'm giving you that
power. So I would trust me. Fucking Jesus. Yeah. It's kind of weird that we're going this far and
you're still not trusting me. It's kind of fucked up. You broke it with hate, right? The second anchor?
Yeah, about that. It was like, it broke violently in a cool way.
It's hard to break a guitar pick.
He's getting angrier in his eyes.
His eyes are narrowing.
No, it got broken with love.
God fucking damn it!
You had one job!
Whoa, whoa.
They're dumb.
They're so stupid. Okay. And you're job. Whoa, whoa. They're dumb. They're so stupid.
Okay.
And you're smarter than them.
Yeah.
It shouldn't be that fucking.
Okay.
Well, you're so mad.
It's not that big of a deal.
Like I can fix this.
I can fix it easily.
Can you?
Yeah.
Can you?
Yeah.
Show me.
Okay.
And then with a start, you're awake.
For the first time without your own control, you are just suddenly awake.
Do I break through the door?
Yes, you break through the door at that moment.
I pull the hat off.
This is it for you.
I throw the hat in the toilet and start flushing it.
I know how to get to Grooves from.
Okay.
Yeah.
Did Willie tell you that?
I don't know.
There's no pee in this toilet.
Literally the one thing.
You look me in the eye.
I'm not an animal, Link.
I peed and I flushed.
I listened.
I was listening the whole time.
There's no flushing.
There's no peeing.
Link, you got to be careful, bud.
You're not looking good here.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm not worried about looking good.
I'm worried about our friend getting whatever Willie's doing.
I defended you when they all called you piss boy.
Yeah.
That's what I was like.
Oh, Link would never.
Link's not a piss boy.
So me and you don't piss.
That's great. But it sounds like you're a piss boy. I don't understand. You didn't pee. I don't. That's not a piss boy. So me and you don't piss. That's great.
But it sounds like you're a piss boy.
I don't understand.
You didn't pee.
I don't.
That's not even.
The point's not about you peeing or not.
You're obsessed with pee.
Well, it's weird.
It comes out of our body.
It sounds like it's just a little.
You drink a thing.
And then like hours later.
Is that weird to anybody else here?
And it smells weird.
Yeah.
It's like, it doesn't smell like any other
part of me it's just like it is his own anyways that's not the point the point is just one second
you couldn't last literally one second after i put out a hand and now you're just doing this i
just don't what yeah we can't trust you scary i just don't know why you are talking to willie
and even if you want to talk to willie you could just ask us or at least try to bring us into it
because now i don't know anything that he's saying and how am I supposed to trust you?
And he can't even tell the truth about whether or not you have to go pee. We can't link. That's
the whole thing. Cool. You want to send me on my own way? I mean, I know how to get to goose realm.
I know what to do once all the anchors are destroyed, but if you want to throw me out on my
ass, then that's fine. You just keep saying things to me like those are the things I said.
That's not what I said.
I've literally just been asking you
what you're doing and what you wanna do.
Mrs. Swalzer goes, it sounds like you could use
with a little bit of compromise.
So what I like to do in these situations
is you limit what you're saying to I feel statements
rather than assuming the other person's intentions.
You just say, I feel this way because of the situation.
And maybe that way you can come to a happy medium,
a middle.
Also, you owe me for that door.
Here's your half-water Shasta Cola
that I gave you
because I'm a good host,
unlike some guests.
Here are your red vines
and I throw them on the ground.
Yeah, what?
I'll eat them off the ground.
No, well, that's rude.
I'm sorry.
I'll go get a plate.
Throw those away and get new ones.
Okay, yeah. I'm sorry. Scary can only get a plate. Throw those away and get new ones. Okay, yeah.
I'm sorry.
Scary can only eat red vines off a plate with a fork.
You just fucked up next week's teen fact.
I feel like Link is a little loser piss boy baby who doesn't know what he wants.
And so maybe I feel that you should kick me out but i'm just saying
it's gonna be a lot fucking harder to get these anchors without me and i feel like all i want to
do is stop everything and all these people from dying and my my hand is open to you. And if you don't want it,
that's fine. I don't care. I just don't know. I just don't care. If I have to do with the three
of you, then I'll do it with the three of you. That's all I want to do. Whatever you want to do
normal, whatever you all want to do. I just want to get this done. And if you don't want to meet
me halfway, then whatever. I don't, it's fine. It's fine. I feel fine. How about that? How about
that? That's how I feel. I feel fine too. Great. I feel confused. I don't know It's fine. It's fine. I feel fine. How about that? How about that? That's how I feel. I feel fine too.
Great.
I feel confused.
I don't know what either of you want.
We want to stop the doodler.
And I feel like we can't trust Scary anymore.
I feel like she's betrayed us too many times.
She's killed us.
Literal person.
A guy who finally,
someone who would watch anime with me,
and I don't think we can trust her.
And having her loose out there,
I mean, I think she's working against us.
All in favor of expelling Scary from the group,
raise your hand.
Or say aye.
Or say aye.
Since this is a podcast.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Well, that, no, that doesn't,
I don't know if that counts.
She can vote.
She gets a vote.
Women can vote.
Okay.
Your mom pats you on the shoulder and goes,
yes, they can.
Three of you would be enough.
You have just decided to expel her from the group.
So the sizzling circle again appears in the world
and Nick leans his head out and he goes,
I figure you guys might actually
need a, like, are you done? I
waited like a half second. So it's
probably been like an hour in your world,
right? So like, you want to go somewhere now or what's
the... Can I sidebar you for a second?
Yeah, I was actually going to want to talk to you as well.
You can step back into hell with him
and have a private conversation.
Sorry, does this violate the rules
of hell
where you cannot return after you've been?
Ooh, good note.
Yeah.
So yeah, you try to step back in the hell.
Boom!
Ah, fuck!
Like a vampire in the Buffyverse
when they try to enter a place
when they haven't been.
You guys can use the den.
It's over there.
I just went down the hall.
There's a lazy boy.
Don't burn up the lazy boy by being hot on it.
You know, you're like on fire and stuff.
So just be careful in there.
There's shag carpeting.
So I wanted to burn down.
Shag carpeting? It's the most burnable room in the world. So Nick steps in and his feet like on fire and stuff so just be careful in there there's shag carpeting so i wanted to burn down the most burnable room in the world nick steps in and his feet are on fire and
immediately tries to stamp out his own feet and he goes ah ah my my feet stamp somebody's
all right let's give them some space just you guys can talk through this little portal i'm
gonna go get a ziploc bag for scary's red vines which she will be taking to go great he heads to
the den with you oh yeah i found I found your body, by the way.
Oh, you know what?
My body is wrapped around him
like in a piggyback pose.
Like a backpack.
Yeah, he's wearing you like a backpack
and he kind of shimmies his shoulders
to shrug you off
because he can't use his arms.
Oh, and it just ragdolls into the ground.
Like definitely like shit is bent the wrong way and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
But you can be easily removed
and put back onto your normal body.
Ah, my old friend.
Nick, my man.
And he goes,
you can have the lazy boy.
Nick, my man,
we got a bit of a conundrum here.
Our group is split.
We can't trust one of our members.
She's going her own separate way
by her own volition.
I need you to quarantine her.
We can't have her.
She's fucking up all of our plans and I need you to make sure. We can't have her. She's fucking up all of our plans,
and I need you to make sure she can't muck things up
because she's working for Willie directly.
She's got a direct line with him.
She talks with him in her sleep.
She talks in her sleep.
That might be a separate thing,
but she's talking to Willie in her sleep,
so we can't trust her.
So you see Nick sort of sit down on the couch,
and you get the feeling that if he had his hands, he would be resting them on his
chin and like coming thoughtfully. You need me to stroke your
chin, dad? Yeah, it helps me think.
All right, that's good. Thank you.
So you want me
to make sure
that she can't do
anything when she leaves you. You want me to just
like lock her up or something. Yeah.
Trap her somewhere. Yes.
I could. Why are you saying it like that?
I don't know why I'm saying it like that.
No, I mean, this is good.
I like this.
This is, oh,
I just realized this is the first time
we've like properly done something together
as father and sons,
like a plan.
We're like coming up with a plan together.
I chipped your hand, dad, but.
Well, so that was going to bring that up
as another thing is
if she's got Willie on her side,
I can't guarantee that she'll stay quarantined.
Like he can probably find a way to find me.
And the last time we fought,
it didn't go super well for your dad.
When was the last time you fought?
And he nods at his arms.
And he goes, when that, when this.
Ah.
Well, the one, anyway.
I'd already lost the one.
He got rid of the other one.
Well, shit, what are we supposed to do?
Dad, I could use some advice right now.
There's no anime that I've seen
that's prepared me for this.
Well, son,
have you watched an anime called Death Note?
Oh, well, yes, of course.
A classic.
You could always, in a sense, write her into your notebook.
Or I could for you, if that's what you need.
Wait, but which character?
I don't see like I had a bunch of fan fiction, so it gets a little bit.
We're both like we're both like we're both like near the beginning of the series when Wait, but which character? I don't see, like, I had a bunch of fan pictures, so it gets a little bit crude up in my head.
We're both like...
Like, near the beginning of the series when he was
still just trying to be a good guy and kill criminals
and stuff. You're saying she's a
criminal? From what you told me, she sounds
like she was a party to murder
and she's working for the single worst
person I've ever met. I don't want to kill her. Okay, that's
fine. I just wanted to present the option. You live
in hell for long enough and your moral standards get a little wobbly, so that's good. Is there anywhere we can put her. Okay, that's fine. That's just one of the options. You live in hell for long enough in your moral standards to get a little
wobbly. So that's good. Anywhere
we can put her on ice, so to speak
there on ice, we could trap
her in any of the realms, I guess. And if she can't
find a way to get out of them, she might be stuck.
What's the worst realm to abandon someone
in that's still safe that we can maybe come
back later? Yeah, so it can't be hell
because you've already been to hell. So it would have to be either
the goof realm, which I don't know how to get
there, Earth as I knew it,
or here, but it doesn't
really do anything. Wait, but if we keep, oh, hold on.
If we keep her on another realm,
doesn't there a time dilation effect?
Oh, God, yeah. She might be like 40 by the time you
get back. Yeah. Oh, hmm. What
direction does it go? That's right. It's
a short amount of time there is a long amount
of time here. What's the safest place
on old earth?
Safest place on old earth
would probably be
with Erin O'Neill
and her trees.
No, we were down there.
That place sucked.
You were down there?
She was probably not.
That's why you all got out.
She's cool.
And remind me
in the show,
how did we end things
with Erin?
You stole her son.
Oh, right.
Poorly.
You stole the son
and ran away.
Her only source of food
for her and all of her trees. Yeah, dad, that's cool. I'm right, poorly. You stole the sun and ran away. Her only source of food for her and all of her trees.
Yeah, Dad, that's cool.
I'm just, you know, just, I take it you haven't been back there?
No.
Yeah, that's cool, that's cool.
Just take it from me.
Probably not a tenable solution.
Okay, well, almost everywhere on Earth is really deadly
because of the doodler's influence, so.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
on Earth is really deadly because of the doodlers' influence.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Is the International Space Station
still floating around Earth?
Let me do some Googling.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Is the ISS still up there?
Yeah.
Or is all satellites...
It's going to be 30 years in orbit.
It'll at least be there at 2030,
but it'll be crashed intentionally in 2031.
So I feel like, yeah,
because, yeah, the ISS is still in the sky. So I feel like, yeah, because yeah,
the ISS is still in the sky. Why don't we put her in the, well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
The doodler's in that realm though. Yeah. Oh, the doodler is blocked access to the sky. It's
around her, hasn't it? Yeah. But like, it's like the size of the universe to some extent. It's both
like really, really close and really, really far away. So you can't see the moon, but you can see
the ISS. Yeah. What if we put her in space?
Okay, I guess we could do that.
I don't have a space suit for her.
Well, but the ISS has a number.
Sure.
I guess we could try that.
All right.
All right, son.
I love this plan.
So here's what's going to happen.
Now we'll cut to somebody else.
Can I roll to save the nightcap from being flushed?
Yeah, I think with advantage because it's hard to flush something of that size. It's hard to flush a hat.
Let's check if it does flush or not.
I'll tell you right now,
it did not flush.
It's too big to flush.
16.
All right, so 16.
So you grab it.
Okay, then I grab it.
Now it is normal.
It is normal's bathroom,
so you're both going to have to make
a constitution saving throw
for reaching into that toilet.
Go ahead and roll con.
Saves, both of you.
Bro, you got to spend
like three weeks in quarantine
just like the Apollo astronauts did
when you get out of that bathroom. I save. Okay, I got 14. We'll call that a save. Okay, you gotta spend like three weeks in quarantine just like the Apollo astronauts did when you get out of that bathroom
dog. I save. Okay. I got 14.
We'll call that a save. Okay, that's close enough.
Okay, so yes, go ahead and try to take it from her.
Give me sleight of hand. Scary, give me
a pose, sleight of hand.
I got 16. Okay, great.
So you try to grasp at the hat.
She moves it out of the way. Your hands
keep going and you smash her hands. Are piss boys' fingers
slippery from piss? You know what happens is with your one, you miss, you slip, your hands your hands keep going and you smash your fingers slippery from piss
you know what happens is with your one you miss you slip your hands go into the toilet and you
piss yourself i piss myself yeah your brain is just so used to being in my bathroom it's like
hot water when you sleep and guess what link i did pee and i didn't flush i've just been drinking
a lot of liquid so it's clear i'm just super hydrated my kidneys are
fucking killing it link just tries to hold back a single elijah wood tear from the fellowship of
the ring and he goes it's fine scary i'm i'm glad i'm glad you went to the bathroom that's
it's fine fine i just walk out there and you pass out taylor who gives you like a thumbs up
and i turn around to tay. I go, yeah.
Yeah, this is my pee, too, just so you all know.
This is my pee. I peed myself.
That's okay, man. I got some... I got...
I wasn't asking if it's okay or not okay.
I was just letting you all know, because
I'm just trying to keep the circle of trust here.
I'll go ahead and wash those for you, honey,
so you don't track it around my home.
Sure.
Sure. I take off my pants. Okay. I shouldn't take off, I take off my pants.
Okay.
I shouldn't take off my underwear.
No,
I got a long shirt on.
I just take off everything.
You're with even pooing it?
I don't need to worry about the long shirt.
I hold,
I hold my underwear and my,
Norma has some underwear,
spare underwear to get you.
I got you,
man.
I got you.
I'm holding my underwear and my,
and my pants out to her.
Okay.
So she,
thank you so much.
Oh God.
And she takes them away and she goes,
Norma,
can you,
can you get some of your underwear and some of your your pants yeah for sure for sure thanks
for the shasta and uh you can just tell me how much the door will cost and you just send the
invoice to my house i guess okay i'm not gonna do that that's okay it'll be kids it's not a big deal
and she goes and you hear the dish you get the laundry yeah we wash this with our food. All right, scary. Well, I hope Willie is better than this guy.
And I point to myself because,
uh,
yeah,
I walk away.
Nick leans on the door jam of the den and he looks at all of you attempting to
walk away.
I was going to walk into their conversation.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
That's funny.
Yeah.
So you walk into their conversations.
They're coming up with this plan and you have no shirt on and you smell like
this.
Wow.
I peed myself.
Okay.
I don't think you need to be a part of this conversation.
And Scary's leaving.
Yeah, she is.
All right.
And he fucking fist bumps you.
Fist bump my dad.
Fist bumps you so hard.
I have such a good relationship with my dad.
We love each other so much.
So tight.
Cool.
Dad's hooking it up.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I got an idea.
Hey, Scary. What? Do you want to get out of this popsicle joint? You want to blow this popsicle salesman? each other so much so tight cool dad's hooking it up yeah don't worry i got an idea hey scary
what do you want to get out of this popsicle joint you want to blow this popsicle salesman
yeah i want to get out of here all right so he uses his horn to carve another portal into the world. And this one, you can see, lands back in a quasi-familiar spot of this universe, so you think.
And he goes, after you.
I'd be suspicious of him.
I think you would be rightfully suspicious.
Yeah.
Can I roll?
Insight.
Yeah.
I got an 18.
Wow.
So you know exactly what it is.
You can immediately see that what he's showing you is the window out of the International Space Station.
He put the portal so close to the window
that he was hoping you would just see the doodler's body
and think that you were anywhere on Earth,
but now you can see the reflection in the light
and see the corpses of the other ISS astronauts
just floating around aimlessly in the fucking ISS.
No thanks.
I'll show myself out.
I cast my cantrip poison spray at him.
Oh, wow.
What?
Great.
So he failed his constitution saving throw.
Scary, don't mace my dad.
So you mace him with this poison,
piss-smelling mist.
And he goes,
ow, fuck, ow, fuck, ah.
And he leans over in pain,
and his head is on the other side of the portal.
And he goes,
oh, fuck, Jesus Christ.
His head goes through the portal,
and he knocks the back of his head
against the window of the International Space Station.
You see cracks begin to form.
And when he hits his head against there,
he falls unconscious.
And as he falls unconscious,
he can no longer keep the portal up
and it bisects him.
What?
And so his legs are just sort of hanging out in your room
and the rest of his body is on the other side.
At his hips?
Yeah, at his hips.
Darth Maul style?
Yes, he's Darth Maul'd in front of you.
Oh, maybe. Cool. Darth Maul style? Yes, he's Darth Mauled in front of you. Oh, cool.
I'm going to be out here.
Maybe with my help,
Willie and I can even the scales against the mayor.
I walk out the front door.
Dad!
As she's stepping out,
I'm seeing that you cut my dad.
Well, I guess my dad cut his own head off accidentally.
She was indirectly responsible for his death.
For yet another death.
Also his stump and the rest of his body fall
down and are leaking blood onto your shag carpet.
Oh god! I'm gonna cast
Spike Growth outside the door
so that Scary can't just walk
away from this. Okay.
It's difficult terrain, piercing damage every five
feet that the creature travels. So I think
what it is, is I see Scary trying to just
walk away from this and I kind of lean out the window
and I deploy my caltrops
all outside
towards the FBI
and in between
where she's walking.
Great.
I feel like the reason
I didn't get a chance
to react was because
I was putting on
Normals underwear
so that I don't
look naked.
Thank you,
Solis O. Garcia.
And I'm going to
try to get in front
of the door.
Do we want her
to leave or not?
What are you guys doing?
You guys are so obsessed
with making a decision and something coming from it but then you can't even make up your minds about whether or not you want her to leave or not? What are you guys doing? You guys are so obsessed with making a decision
and something coming from it,
but then you can't even make up your minds
about whether or not you want me to get out of here.
So I'm going to get out of here.
Well, Scary, I've made a decision, okay?
And the decision is we gave you an option
and you didn't take it.
And now you're dangerous.
So you're not going anywhere.
That's my decision.
You're staying here.
We don't trust you and I can't let you go
because Willie's dangerous. So yeah,
good luck. You're not going anywhere. We haven't had
a long rest, so I can't do any spells.
I feel like when you get a red vine,
a red vine and a shasta is
a short rest and a red vine is a long rest.
You're not leaving.
That's it. Like, you wanted
a choice, but now that we're on ops ends,
you're dangerous to us. You're not leaving.
If you want to get through us, you'll have to kill me okay i guess i'll make myself at home i cast fireball

than ourselves you should tell myself it'll be all right pretty lies that we sleep at night Thank you. We gotta pick ourselves up and say, not today, no, not today.
