People of Earth, the following live recording of a podcast is not real.
This episode was recorded live in Somerville, Massachusetts, at Arts at the Armory on July 18th.
See, right there, Massachusetts isn't a real place.
It's a virtual construct built to make your Earth resident Ben Affleck feel at home.
Anyway, there are a few visual components to the show.
Oh, no doubt.
crying children, protests, critics walking out, I'm just guessing here.
And if you'd like to see pictures of those, there's a link to the Patreon page for this episode
in the show notes.
You'll find numerous pictures there, and that page will be unlocked.
So you can take a look at the pictures whether you're a Patreon subscriber or not.
And that's how they get you.
Now, sit back and enjoy the show.
Hello from the Magic Tavern.
A weekly podcast from the magical land of Foon.
If you've never listened to the podcast before, oh no.
But think about it like this.
All your life, all my life, has been leading up to this moment where we finally meet.
And when I say meet, I kind of just mean this, basically.
But I'm so excited.
But if you've never listened to the podcast before, this is sincerely everything you need to know.
Ten years ago.
I knew it.
I had a feeling.
This was a decades crowd.
This crowd loves decades.
Ten years ago, I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical, fantastical land of food.
If you've ever been to Chicago, it's the intersection of Irving and Clark.
Spoiler alert.
It has been torn down.
It is no longer there.
I fell through a dimensional portal.
Luckily, I'm still getting a Wi-Fi signal through the dimensional ring.
and I use that to upload a podcast
as I travel around the magical land of Foon
currently somewhere in the northeast
in the tavern, the impish armory
where we all are now.
This crowd is ready to buy in.
It's like, where am I?
Impish Armory? That's where I am.
In the magical land.
land of Foon. You know what? It's not just me tonight. You know what? No, it is just me tonight.
But you know what'll make it even better? Why don't they bring out one of my good buds? He's a
talking badger. Shunt the talking badger.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Get what?
Get what?
Yeah, that's right.
Arty, that's right.
Get wet.
They put a lot of stank on that get.
Like, get wet.
Like, that's the, like, get wet.
That sounds like they're lifting a box.
Get wet.
Help me.
And, Ardy, I always.
I always say, get wet with your legs, not with your back.
Exactly.
You like what you like?
Are you losing your hair?
Yes, but also, I had to sleep on top of Usadur last night,
and I feel like some of his beard rubbed off on me.
Okay.
There's a lot to unpack there.
Arnie, very quickly.
A wizard's hair.
It's one of the most valuable things in food.
Wait, where to...
Oh, I got it.
We could sell this for a million gold.
Okay.
Retire, start a new podcast about nuts or something.
What do you think?
I'm skeptical that a wizard's hair is that valuable.
Okay.
Okay, well, fuck it.
That's fine.
So you were saying, Chun, that last night you had to sleep on top of Usador.
Sorry, I got to sleep.
on top of Usen.
He was kind enough.
I couldn't find
my hobble and Yusor was nice enough
to be like, just crash with me.
Of course, I slept at his feet for a while,
kept getting up and turning around.
At some point, I just
laid on his tummy. Sure.
That's very sweet. Yeah, it's very sweet.
Nothing salacious about that at all.
It was very sweet.
What are you been up to lately, buddy?
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned my red socks.
What have I been up to?
Scheming, dreaming, dreaming, sleeping, yeah.
So they stop rhyming after two.
Sleeping rhymes.
Sleaming.
Queefing.
What, Arnie, I don't know if I've ever seen these pants.
Well, yes, I am wearing pajama pants.
I'd thought it'd just be a little bit.
bit more of a special night, but a casual night at the same time. Also, it occurred to me. It's not a
canonically established what kind of pants I wear. And I do want to point out, again, if you
have never listened to the podcast before, and this is going to sound not real, but it actually
is. One of the somehow top five most canonically important things about this show is just that I
wear this fucking shirt.
And, Arnie, I got to say, if you ever leave or die, that shirt is unbelievably valuable.
I could sell it for half a million gold.
Half a million gold.
So less than a wizard hair.
I think so.
I don't want to be, you know, I'm not trying to, but yeah, I think half a...
Trump, should I start canonically having a different outfit?
Like maybe one that still fits me.
Oh, it's happening.
It's happening.
Oh, Arnie, I've been dreaming of this day.
Okay, let's see.
Chain mail, are we comfortable with chain mail?
I mean, okay.
Actually, the people of the impish armory.
Is it?
Although, the impish armory is where we all are now.
This audience is a little more bought in than you are, Jun.
But before we get past it, I do want to say,
isn't that always the way when someone says chain mail?
And you're probably thinking, I don't know, that's a little uncomfortable.
But then, like, four people say, ooh, and you're like,
maybe I should start wearing chain mail.
I'd say chain mail top.
Maybe like some leather shorts.
Okay.
Does that sound fun?
Yeah.
No.
Wait, did you say leather?
Wait, did you say leather?
Wait, did you say leather?
Shorts?
Yeah, leather shorts.
Leather shorts.
So this is the sweat can just escape.
Yeah.
Well, we could do like Nehai chaps, someone said.
We could do chaps.
Chaps.
I like this.
I actually like the impish armory quite a bit.
Yeah.
We can do chaps.
Now, Arnie, there's two types of chaps.
Okay.
Assless.
And classless?
Classless.
It's like,
Oh, there's a...
You can't see that gentleman's ass.
No class.
There's a few horse butt stickers
in food that say stuff like,
if you're not showing ass, you don't have class.
Sure, sure. Horse butt stickers?
Yeah, you know, the stickers you put on the butt of your horse?
Sure.
Am I crazy?
Is there one...
So, what are some of the most...
I'll start.
So would a horse butt sticker be something like, if you can read this,
you're too close to my horse's butt?
I think you meant to say rumpur stickers.
Rumpur stickers.
Yes.
It sucks that Yusador could only swing by for one moment.
I know.
Bye, Yusador.
Yep.
Wait, where was he standing?
He was around here somewhere.
Oh, looking for hair?
Shit.
Usually he's leaving that hair everywhere.
Fuck!
And Arnie, I lost the original.
Fuck!
I know.
I didn't want to say it at the time
because it's classless, not assless.
That wizard hair was real curly.
Like, it was incredibly long,
like knee length, but curly.
Wizard hair is wizard hair.
Wizard hair is wizard hair.
So give me two rumper stickers.
Sure.
Two rumper stickers, thank you, used to door,
would be my other horse.
My other horse is a bigger horse.
Okay.
And then have I already said,
if you're not asked, you're classless?
You have said it, but...
I said that one.
Yeah, but not in rumper sticker form.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Honk, if you're...
Horsy?
Horsy.
I mean, we're going to start printing those.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Why the long butt?
Why the long butt, exactly.
This seems like a perfect time
to keep use that are waiting
about five more minutes.
Yeah.
Arnie, are these little moons on your pants?
You know what?
Actually, I think they're cookies.
Oh.
They're assorted types of cookies and a carton of milk and a bottle of milk.
And they're all sort of smiling.
But they also have very rosy cheeks like they have a secret.
Oh.
But a cute secret.
They're like, nobody knows what I know.
And, Arnie, you said on earth that milk cartons are the number one way to find missing kids?
Absolutely.
Wow. Absolutely. Fascinating.
Yeah. Besides, although,
that might be,
second place is probably Apple Watch
now.
Just tracking them
with technology, basically.
Absolutely. A huge pivot to
something else.
I like that you're just scanning
my pants being like, what else?
What other material? I'm mostly
looking for wizard hairs, but...
There are some. Yeah. Oh, Arnie,
I couldn't find the bar at the impish armory.
Oh.
Chunt.
Do you have it?
I know sometimes you'll have beer in your pants.
Do you bring any beer?
I didn't bring any beer.
I'm sorry, buddy.
Okay.
Oh.
Great.
Now I've got to pay for a microphone.
Well, while you deal with crippling sobriety.
I am going to introduce my other co-host.
You all know his name.
Some of you might know all of it.
Usore the Wizard!
I am Usador.
Wizard of the 12th realm of Ephesius.
Master of light and shadow.
Manipulator of magical delights.
Devourer of chaos.
Champion of the great halls of Taracas.
The elves, nobius.
Fian Yallach.
Fangi.
The dwarves know me as Zonanukestangis.
And I am known throughout the northeast as Gasmuania's Mastar.
But know this friend.
There are secret names.
Names that I would ne'er dare let escape mine lips,
for they are of such great power that most assuredly,
even if you thought of it for a moment,
your eyeballs would turn into two stones,
Those stones would turn into two eggs.
Those eggs would hatch, and inside them,
two new eyeballs.
Same eyeballs as before?
Two new eyeballs.
Oh.
So eyeballs to stones, to eggs, to hatch, to eyeballs?
That's why I won't say the name.
Okay.
Can you imagine a fate more dastardly
that someone would have new eyeballs
after having stones and eggs in their eyes suck,
when hence they had other eyes
and everything would look exactly the same
but everyone would see them and be like
you did something with your hair
what's different about you
and they'd have to say well
my eyeballs turned into stones and then eggs
and then different eyes
and then they would say you are a demon
and I cast you out
what are you two doing here
what are we doing here
yes I'm at the impish armory today
to procure a lance
for Usador has been tasked with slaying a dragon.
Is there a dragon problem around here?
Yes, oh, a terrible one.
There's a terrible dragon who lives up on the hill outside of town
next to the impish armory,
and it's incumbent upon me to now strike down this dragon
to make sure that all can live peacefully and happily.
And I shall do it too.
Just you watch.
I'm going to get a lance
Whoa
I'm going to stab that guy right in the eye
But I guess I'll do the podcast first
Whatever
So you're in town to slay a dragon
And it just happens to be a coincidence
That we're doing a show right here
I did not know you were here
That seems like lazy writing
Well
I did suspect that you were here
Because I was following you
And I got up pretty close behind
your horse, and I read the rumpur sticker that said,
if you can read this, a horse is about to shit on you.
Oh, that's good.
And?
Did the horse shit on you?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I thought you meant there was more to the bumper sticker.
No, that it was a prediction that did come true.
This isn't a rumper sticker thing, and this is honestly, I'm going to be honest.
It's a waste of time for me to tell this story, but I'm going to anyway.
Oh, perfect.
That's what this whole show's been for 10 years.
Whoa, now's the time to hit the bar
The bumper sticker that
On my world they're called bumper stickers
They're put on the back of cars
Or they used to be
And one of the
Is there a bump there?
Kind of
It's like a bumper
So if you get bumped
If you get bumped
Stay bumped
Oh
Yeah
So you would put a sticker on there
And one I saw said
It was on like a VW bug or something
Which is a car
I know it doesn't sound like it
Wait, is it a bug or a car?
Bugs are cars?
It's named after a bug.
So a bug's life is a car's life?
Then what's cars, Arnie?
What's cars?
You can't tell us about all these famous Earth movies
and then change the rules.
That's true.
And why did they go to university
after they'd already been monsters for a while?
But, Arnie, tell us again about Cars Bunny.
Cars Bunny?
Oh, sorry.
I guess I'm just using your rule.
Bugs Bunny
Oh
Well
A Cars Bunny is a car
You put a wig on that car
And it's sexy
So I saw
A car with a bumper sticker
That said
The Beatles
Didn't need a website
To become famous
Wait, hold on
Beatles are
I want to say bugs
But I guess
Beatles are
cars. Beatles is
a band. Beatles is
bugs, but Beatles is also a
band if you spell it differently.
But spiders make webs.
Spiders make webs.
Not Beatles.
No, so that's right. Are you sure you
want to tell this story?
Bugs are cars,
but Beatles are bands.
Bugs are cars, Beatles are bands.
Assless or classless.
So yeah, so the
didn't need a website to become famous
and I always thought that's the most bumper
stickery bumper sticker
I've ever seen. I like
that. Arnie
just to know I found a hair
it's not us ators
but I found a hair
also someone
brought us beers
who was that person who brought us beers
oh thank you
Scream your name and nothing but your name.
Amy. I've said that so many times.
Grammesee to the Amy.
These beers shall be consumed with speed and great fervor.
They're called High Neighbor.
Hi, neighbor?
Or wait, no, they're called Narragaz.
They're called High Neighbor.
I'll take your word for it.
Wow, Arnie. Have you ever met an Amy?
Oh, wait.
We have poop stools?
What's that?
Poop stools.
I know that's redundant.
Hell yeah.
Arnie, hell yeah.
Yes.
That makes this so much easier.
Yes.
These stools have...
I'm trying to think of the right wording.
Anus-located hole?
Jesus.
That's what you were hemming and hawing about?
Well, the first thing that came in my mind,
It was anus-sized hole, and I'm like, that is not what I mean to say.
Goddesses, please.
While they are distracted by these poop holes,
let any stray hair that has fallen off mine head,
please find its way back to me.
The great destructive power of one single strand of mine hair.
Left in the wrong hands would be a most dastardly thing.
So please, if a stray hair has gone away, please, goddesses let it find its way back to me.
Oh, tell me about the stools.
Oh, we're way past that.
What?
That was like 10 minutes ago.
Oh, Arnie, I forgot to mention, I always say this out loud, but I know you edited out of the podcast.
Anyone listening can always email us at Chunt with 6Ts at gmail.com.
That's Chunt with 6Ts at gmail.com.
Of course, if you email us now, we may not see it until later, but...
It's always worth a try.
Yeah, always worth a try.
Oh, Arne, who's our guest tonight?
Oh, shit.
Usador, Chunt.
Fine, I'll do it.
Do you think the people in the tavern have noticed
there's only three anus stools?
Probably.
Look, I fucked up.
I thought I knew people around here.
Apparently, I know less people around here
than I thought I did.
So I didn't get us a guest,
but that just means more of us.
That just means...
It's...
Boy's night!
Boys nights!
Boys nights!
Boy's night?
Boys nights?
Oh wait, I gotta say it like I'm lifting a box.
Boys nights.
Yeah, what?
Do that again, Arnold.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you sure you really tried to book a guest?
I think you might be lying.
I can't stand it.
I know you planned it.
So you said we're...
Sabotage.
Wait, what?
Shit.
I say sabotage.
This is why I like to sometimes do this show on the road,
because when we just do it at home,
a.k. in the studio,
we don't have someone over on the side
that'll go, oh, sabotage.
That's what you're talking about.
It's nice to be heard.
Oh, no, it's dumb.
Never mind.
Okay.
He said never mind.
He said it was dumb and he said never mind.
Don't look at it.
But Usador, he's giving us ask me eyes.
Oh.
Oh, yes.
The subtlety of your mortal interactions.
How they confound and bore me.
Fine.
Chunt, what is it?
please tell us. Yes. The ask me
eyes never fail. Is that what you said?
Yeah, ask me eyes.
I thought maybe.
Which is much. No, I'm not. I had a joke, but I
had the exact same idea.
But the fuck me eyes aren't working as well, right?
Yes, exactly. Exactly. We were definitely thinking the same
things. You know, I thought,
Arnie, I don't think we've done this before, but I thought
it might be fun to
summon some stuff from earth
to make you feel a little less homesick.
It's a very powerful heart spell to do.
I know Yusador hates to be asked,
but I feel like this is one time we could call in a favor.
It is true.
It is a great burden upon me to ask me to apply my magical prowess here.
No, I'd love to do it.
Let's do it.
Perfect.
I have an item I found.
in your car, Arnie, years
and years ago that I've saved just in
case we need some sort of conduit between
worlds. Let me grab it real quick.
Great.
Just put it? Yeah.
Just put that... No. Don't forget
you put that there, though.
Don't forget
you put that mic there.
Oh, oh, oh.
People will be like, I don't know what happened
in the second half of that show.
But Chun's audio sounded like ass.
Thank you.
I was thinking about getting a rumpur sticker
that just had a big equal sign on it.
Have you thought about spelling it out?
It's a good idea.
But I'd have to come up with a way
for it to be made of symbols
that only mean something to people here on food.
Are there symbols that mean
equality or justice or
of course
there are many peaceful
sigils that can be
displayed on your person here
one of the most famous
peaceful symbols
it's not even really peaceful as much as it's like benign
is a big pink shirt
oh
it means sort of benign sort of peaceful
sort of
you know
lazy lazy
Doey
Sure
Tired
Yeah
I feel like I should be offended
but I see it
Arnie
does this look familiar
Oh my goodness
My missing
Walgreens bag
Yeah I found it in your glove
compartments all those years ago
And I've hung on to it
As we can see the bag is
Completely empty
Whoa.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
So I'll
set it right here.
You start if you want to start your spell.
I know it requires some moaning.
Just some.
Yeah.
Is there anything the other people in the tavern
can do to help you with this spell?
Of course.
If everyone could moan along,
with me.
Mone along with me.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Gross.
Oh.
Oh.
Whoa.
Oh.
Okay.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Oh.
Oh.
I am nearly spent...
Oh, just kidding.
I have so much fucking magic.
You won't even fucking believe it.
Arnie, what is it?
I'm going to be...
I'm...
Sincerely, I have not seen anything
that is going to be pulled out of this bag before,
including a tabloid newspaper,
the star, from January 19th,
1982.
Whoa, some people were born.
that year.
The top story is
lose 10 pounds of holiday fat in one week.
Rude bag, rude.
But then also,
big headline, how
Princess Dye wears pants in the palace.
Ooh.
What a scandal.
A beautiful princess wearing
pants!
In the palace, she must be royal, which
means they're assless.
Oh, yeah.
All right, I'm only going to read one more thing.
Are you just the type of thing that, I don't know,
on Earth you might walk back from a Walgreens
and there might be a bunch of shit on the sidewalk out that says take for free?
Is that the kind of thing that might be that?
Probably, yes, but I'm going to need more details.
I don't know. I'm not from Earth.
So you're saying hypothetically, if I went to a Walgreens, any Walgreens,
and bought some stuff and put it in a bag.
But when I was leaving the Walgreens, there was like a weird yard sale that hopefully wasn't like a needful thing situation where you're getting cursed old items.
I wouldn't even say yard sale.
I'd say pile of shit with a sign that says take.
And then the person walking past probably saw a picture of that woman and went, what the fuck?
How could that person possibly be in the news?
The thing that makes me wonder is, why didn't they put it outside?
the last 42 years prior
to this. Oh, maybe it's
cursed. Somebody did yell
sabotage. Do we think the
dragon that you're going to lance later
got to the area first
and laid a trap? It's very
possible. We must be very
careful for the dragon may be
listening to us, even now,
planning a way to avoid
my evisceration.
But I shall find a way to
or come and strike it down
and keep all the children and women.
and men and dwarves and elves
and tree people
and dogs and
most of the cats safe
here in Foon. Some
cats I cannot save.
There I've admitted it.
It is my greatest shame.
My God.
Can you feel
all the intricate plot threads
moving towards a satisfying
conclusion at the
end of the show that will
definitely happen
whoa
the bag's still moving you see what okay
I got it what the fuck Arnie
more hair it's back
I need that I need that I need that I need that I need that
this is a friend's pub
oh okay
Friends pub
that's a tavern we almost went to
oh the friends pub
it's a pubic bar yeah it's a pubic house
or pub yeah pub as they call it
Ding-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-zipp-de-zipp-di-d-zipp.
Okay, we have here a new, oh, a new garment.
Arnie, finally, something new for you to wear.
Whoa.
It is a red t-shirt that says Boston Red Sox.
Whoa, Arnie.
Arnie, hold it up just like you did so everyone can read it.
Uh, never mind.
everyone in here is shocked
they've never seen this before
and Arnie you said on earth
the Venny diagram
between people who love fantasy
and people who love Major League Baseball
is almost a complete circle
oh yeah
oh yeah
I'll be honest
there is a very slim overlap
and none of them know each other
I get it now.
Red Sox.
Oh.
Arnie, put on the T-shirt.
Put on the T-shirt.
You just mentioned a new...
You wanted a new wardrobe.
I'll try.

Knives. You've got big old knives.
I've got socks in all the right places.
I hope there are more shirts in there.

Yeah, he's a knight.
Yeah.
All nights are tangy and sweet.
Dangerous and delicious.
Are you telling me that in the Earth year 2025,
a bag is explaining saracha?
Stop bag-splaining.
Arzhi fucked those saraja chips.
What could this saracha be?
Jesus.
Jesus Christ
And atrocalon

Let me make it fair
Amy, where's Amy?
Amy, is it okay
if Arnie wears this on his rump.
Okay.
Arnie, it's a sticker.
Why don't you read what it says?
All right.
The sticker says,
Feed me tacos
and tell me I'm pretty.
Wow.
Let's open this up
and get under your ass right away.
Arnie, Walgreens
really does have everything.
Rumper,
sticker.
Hey, chunt, well...
Rumper, sticker.
Rumpur, sticker.
Feed me tacos, call me pretty.
Feed me tacos, call me pretty.
Feed me tacos, call me pretty.
Chunt, where are you planning to sleep tonight?
What'd you say?
Where are you planning to sleep tonight?
I hadn't thought that far ahead.
I guess...
I don't know, I guess I'll find like a stranger's tummy, I guess.
A stranger
Yeah
I don't want to burden you with two times
I don't want to terrify you with a rhyme
So callous and terrifying
That it may
Chill you to the very bone
But have you ever heard of
Stranger
Danger
Whoa what
I would not advise
He to sleep upon the stomach
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I wouldn't
Everything stop
Everything stop
everything's stop
I have never felt more defeated
in my whole life
Oh hey buddy
I swear
Usador
Let's help Arnie
with his sticker
I cannot
This whole time
I've been trying to get it off
If you get it off
I'm gonna be so mad
It's impossible
No hold on
I made fun of you pretty hard
I need to do this
And we're sure it's a sticker
It's crazy
crazy. It's
like some devious trap where someone's
like, you'll feel pretty, but we'll make it impossible
to get this sticker off.
Okay.
Nope, it was
Arnie.
You, sir, are you saying that some strangers could
potentially
cause danger? I would not advise
thee to sleep upon the stomach of any stranger,
and this goes for all of you tonight here at
the Amish Armory. If you, you
You're about to sleep upon someone's stomach.
Make sure you know them first, or they've bought you dinner.
Yusler, would you rather someone sleeps on your stomach or in your hair or on your face?
On my face, obviously.
Yeah.
Okay.
Ernie, how does it feel to have a rumpur?
It feels okay.
Okay, people have asked, that's all I was waiting for.
I just needed one person to say, show us.
All right.
Okay.
Here's what my sticker looks like on my bot.
Whoa, Arnie, I saw so many phones come out.
Give us a twirl.
Looking good.
If you're listening at home later, the visuals are all bad.
Like, not, like, I look great, but just the visual component of this show.
If you're getting angry about what you've missed, do not.
Be angry you weren't here in such wonderful company, but the visuals, no.
Oh, that reminds me, Arnie.
Now that you've got that sticker on, you might want to hang on to these.
Okay, so.
Boys night?
Boys night.
Here's some of the possible mixed pleasures in this adventure pack.
And Arnie,
just like mixed nuts?
Great movie.
Close.
So close.
Close to the nuts.
Ooh.
So the mixed pleasures
in this adventure pack of condoms
include something called
vanish.
Whoa, Eusador.
It's like make it disappear.
Now you see it, now you don't.
That seems, I don't know,
unethical.
I don't know.
I think it's a lot.
if I put a condom on my dick and it disappears, that's kind of hot.
Also, if you're wearing a condom,
don't you want it to vanish?
Well, sure.
No, I meant, never mind.
I know, oh, I know.
Super Studs.
And, yeah, all right.
And Glow.
Why isn't that the name of this show?
Super Studs?
That's Arnie.
That's Junct.
That's Usador.
And we're...
Super Studs.
All right.
I am going to do something unprecedented,
but I need a little help from our sound person,
who I would not, I would not blame him if he wasn't paying attention.
I am going to go off stage and start the show again.
All right.
Should we all do it?
It's up to you.
yeah let's start let's start over i've been asking do this for ages
and i think if everyone could just start chanting studs studs studs
studs studs
studs
studs
studs
studs
studs
Good!
Good!
Good!
Welcome to Super Studs!
Oh!
Oh!
All right!
All right.
Everyone here that's a stud say,
Woo!
Everyone that's a Super Stud say,
Woo!
Woo!
If you weren't that into it, just say,
okay.
A couple.
That's fair.
I am joined by my other Super Studs,
Chun and Usador.
When we were,
When we were, I'll say off stage, and everyone in the tavern was, we were gone,
and everyone in the tavern was chanting stud, studs, studs, studs, I had the thought,
what if we left
right now?
Like I don't want to
but on some level
like how long
would it take people to figure it out?
There's one person left.
One person at midnight
studs.
Studs.
And then one friend will turn to a friend
and be like, that's when you fucking get
with super studs.
That's what you get with super studs.
Of course our catchphrase is
you put the
you and STDs.
Yeah, no, that's right.
Today on Super Studs, we don't have a guest,
so let's do a...
Pull something from the bag?
Someone from the bag.
The stud bag.
Zippity zap.
Studs night.
Okay, well, I've heard tales.
but you have brought me the most cursed thing from earth,
something called Skibbitty Toilet.
Whoa.
Arnie, what is it?
Not only is...
I've never seen Arnie like this.
It's a Skibbitty Toilet mystery mini figure.
And this is the part that's very ambitious, series one.
A mystery.
A mystery.
to be solved.
And now the people of Earth
have called upon Eusidor
to figure out what mystery
lies within this package.
What shall it be?
Nash.
Oh no.
Stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud.
Stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud, stud.
Welcome to Studs.
Could you open packaging?
meant for children.
Someone in the tavern
Has scissors?
Who let you in here with scissors?
Arrest them! Arrest them!
I truly thought they yelled,
Do you need stickers? And I was like,
Baby, if
If opening a sticker opens this,
Arnie's fucked.
The two things he can't open.
Listeners at home,
Arnie has successfully opened the package.
The mystery is about to be solved.
All right, Arnie. How rich are we?
Okay.
I apologize in advance. I'm making a mess.
So, we have a figurine of a toilet
with a head coming out of it.
Sort of looks like,
and I don't want to explain this,
sort of looks like Mr. Beast.
I know Mr. Beast.
I slate him last week.
He was at the bottom of the hill below the armory,
and he brought a bunch of people there
to put on a big play,
and he didn't pay them enough,
so the town had to be killing.
But we'll always remember him because of his candy bars.
Arnie, there's a guy named Teddy Toilet and Foon.
Teddy Toilet?
Yeah, he eats your shit and piss.
What did you been doing with your shit and piss?
Yeah, where did you think it went?
Teddy Toilet.
So wait, does he eat it?
Does he eat it out of the toilet?
Ew, Arnie.
No.
You think he's hovering underneath your butt waiting to get shit in?
No, he scoops it out later, puts it in a fridge, takes it out,
Heats it up and eats it.
If he's not hovering under my toilet, who was that?
I don't know.
Might have been Pedy pervert.
That's true.
Peeperpervert?
Yeah, that's Teddy's cousin.
Teddy's cousin.
Yeah, Teddy just collects it later and makes an asserol.
Ha, ha, ha.
You get the figurative.
that's the worst thing I've ever seen
Is there anything else
can I feel beyond the realms
in beyond the dimensions
and pull one more thing out
and a truyl
studs
studs
Studs, studs, studs, studs, studs, studs, studs, studs, studs.
Push-ups. Push-ups are happening.
Oh.
Oh.
So I believe it's a Dunkin' Donuts bag, but from behind I thought you just picked up a prescription.
It's like, ooh, what's in there?
I've been in this world for a decade.
I need some drugs.
I need to refill.
Arnie, here's the rest of this stuff.
It seems like a sticker book.
Some M&Ms.
Some nuts, get nuts.
Hot nuts.
Alufa.
Something called the Somerville Highlanders.
Wait, wait, hold on.
There cannot be that many Somerville Highlanders.
Well, there could probably be, what, two?
I'm sure that's probably a joke.
All of you have heard before,
but I imagine there can only be one.
Yes.
Also, have we ever told you about senior mince?
This must be his son.
Yes.
Do you think Junior Mintz is like, please,
Senior Mintz is my father.
Call me Junior Mintz.
Arnie, what's a Dunkin' Donuts?
This is part of this stuff you found on the side of the road, right?
You, sir, do you know how jarring it was to look up
and see you in that baseball game.
Oh, God.
Hold on, hold on.
I usually don't do this.
I got to take a picture.
You sure, give a signal for me to steal first.
Whoa, hold on.
Depending on where in that gesture, I caught the phone.
All right, thank you.
That was for us.
Arnie, what's a Dunkin' Donut?
A Dunkin' Donut.
Do you?
Does someone say Dunk Nights?
A Dunkin' Donut is a very popular chain
of donut restaurants.
Whoa, so you sit down and eat them with like a knife and fork and you have a waiter?
No, you drive by them and someone like reaches out into your car and gives you a donut.
Oh.
Didn't you say that your two best bros back on earth, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon go there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
But you said they also love them apples?
Exactly.
But what are you going to do about them?
I don't know.
Eat them.
There are...
How about these apples?
Whoa, everyone, look under your chair.
Sorry, I thought I was going to conjure a bunch of apples.
Guys.
Oh, too late for donuts?
Sorry, are we boring you?
Sorry, Arnie.
Are a couple of studs not super enough for you?
Yeah, I looked at my menu and I'm like,
shit, I've got a dinner reservation.
Oh, Dunkin' Donuts.
Yeah, I think there are only two donuts in here.
Whoa.
Does someone yell fight?
Wait, you can't split these donuts?
I think one for my good friend Chunt.
Aw.
And one for my good friend Usador.
Aw.
And I'll just eat like the M&M's or something.
Wow, I guess we probably only summoned two donuts
because the rest of this stuff was $68.
No.
You couldn't quite get there, could you?
When you saw that,
where you were like, fuck, fuck.
I imagine you were more mad than you've been in your entire life.
I was like, is anything a dollar?
And they go, nope.
Should I have this one, chunt, or would you like that?
I think so.
It looks like a puckered butthole.
Oh, perfect.
Oh, no, there's red cream.
Oh, no.
Should we put some red page on that?
So I was looking at my watch because I just wanted to make sure,
because I know we're going to tie up all the loose threads.
I just wanted to make sure that we had.
What?
All right.
I got to take another picture.
It would suck if anyone's mother-in-law was here.
Anyone's?
You know what?
We usually cut it out,
but every show,
Chunk comes out and says
there better not be any fucking mother-in-laws in this place
to anybody.
Yeah, pretty good.
Pretty good.
I guess I'm done.
No, no, thank you.
You sure?
Yeah.
But thank you.
So, you're so used to, how's that dragon?
I have defeated it.
Whoa.
It was that easy.
I came here to the armory,
and the hopes of procuring a lance
that would help me defeat the dragon once and for all.
But instead,
I thought this is not the way of the wizard
This is the way of the knight
The way of the wizard
Is to dissect thine enemy slowly
Transforming it bit by bit
Tearing it apart
Pulling it through a dimensional rift
Transforming it into other things
Pulling it out of a Walgreens bag
Into detritus from another universe
The dragon was all the stuff we pulled out of the bag
Wow.
Studs Nights?
Studs night!
I'm wearing that motherfucker on my head right now
and eating his little star asshole.
I am indeed the greatest wizard of our age.
And the greatest little league coach.
Yes.
Eustanor, Euster.
I know we're almost out of time, but could you give us all pep talk?
Oh, everyone take a knee.
Just me?
Just you.
I just wanted to say to all of you,
I am so proud of what you did out there today.
It does not matter if you win or lose as long as you win.
I believe that every one of you participated to the best of your ability, except for you.
What's your name?
I'm pointing at you.
What's your name?
Yes, you.
Yes.
What's your name?
What's your name?
What is it?
Abby.
Try harder next time, Abby.
But everyone else is going, everyone but Abby gets a participation trophy today.
And when I say everyone, I mean like three of you.
I just want to say, I want to add to that if you don't mind coach.
Yeah, that's how coaching works.
I want to say, I want to call out good work.
I want to say good work to the royalty and the Burger King crowns over here.
Good work to the other royal.
also in the Burger King crowns a little further back.
Good work to the dude in the limited edition
10th anniversary Magic Tavern shirt,
probably one of three people to ever buy one.
Whoa, those really are limited edition.
Good work to the elf with the scissors.
Good work to the either,
I would thought at first bunnies, but I'm guessing mice.
good work to the mother-in-law
good work to Sage G.C.
Who edits a lot of our best episodes
and is here in the audience.
Good work to the little ears, the white ears.
Whatever, I can't see what's going on there.
Pretend I'm a moose.
Good job, moose.
Wink.
Wink.
And most importantly, good work to you, Chunt.
Me?
That's right.
And good work to you, Arnie.
Oh.
I don't say this often enough, but I'm proud of you.
Whoa, thanks, Dad.
Usadador.
Which means a lot to you.
My acceptance and my praise is all you've sought for the past 10 years.
As the most influential and important person in your lives.
You often
You often speak for many minutes
Before I join the show
And I imagine during that time
You're talking about me
I've got to say
That was not landing for me
But I sensed for a few people in the audience
It was really getting them there
And we weren't talking about you
We were talking about your pubes
There's a difference
What?
Do you have some of my stray pubes?
Do you realize the power of
Stray?
Stray?
Yes, they've been living on the streets
They need shelter and protection
For they contain great power
Wait, hold on, do you send your pubes out
To like gather information
And then at a pivotal moment you're like,
To me, pubes
Arnie
I may have just tonged a chocolate butthole
But that's disgusting
It wasn't me, it was the shirt
Okay, show that ass again.
Whoa, someone's got a fucking mess to clean up.
Me.
Well, now that the dragon is slain and all is returned to peace here at the impish armory,
I suppose we should call it an evening, Ani, what do you say?
Or do we have some emails to read?
Or we...
We have some emails if we want to read them.
Let's read one.
Let's read one email.
Let's read one email.
And also, I know we've spent a lot of time talking about Usador in this hat.
But Usador wearing this hat and holding that tall boy of beer.
That was the worst thing I've ever done.
You crush it on your head and it looks like you did genuine damage to yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's going to hurt.
Let's see.
This is from Alexander.
Says, to my boon companions.
Oh.
Oh.
Looking to plan my own little boys' night.
I think I know what Alex Inter meant,
but there's got to be a better way to phrase that.
This is why you shouldn't let AI write your emails.
Looking to plan my own little boys' night with three maceholes.
Arnie, what's a mace hole?
Yeah, it's like an asshole, but with bigger mass.
Looking to plan my own little boys' night with three massholes.
Yes, we all have three in...
New England.
Whoa.
Three butt holes, three mass holes,
sorry.
What's a good
morglop strain
you'd recommend for
quality nights
of Tomfoolery?
Hold on.
You're going to gather
a bunch of little boys
and give them drugs?
No.
Alexander is,
and let me read
his email address out loud.
From your pals,
Alex, Nick, and Ryan, the three lads
wearing pink polos and Burger King
crowns.
Oh.
I like how the other group in the
Burger King crowns are like, not us.
Whoa, that bisexual lighting
means it's time.
Two things.
Two things. One, try
instead of regular mayonnaise, avocado oil mayonnaise.
Second.
If you decide to crush a can on your head,
don't put the tab side toward your head.
Well, you, sir, do you have a new tattoo?
That's right.
Right on my forehead.
And as I lose blood,
pouring from my forehead.
Well, you know where it's going.
And the sun doth begin to set.
We shall say our goodbyes.
Arnie, the sun's not.
setting.
As I slip in and out of consciousness.
Well, yes, Yusufur, let's,
Usador and I, Arnie, let me go over by Usador.
Arny, Usador and I have been working on a little something.
Anybody want a tongue donut?
Usir I've been working on a little something to end the show.
So long, farewell,
Adviders saying goodbye
Where the fuck am I going?
And heave a sigh and say goodbye
What is you sort of are doing?
I don't know.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Good night and goodbye.
Arnie, I've been sitting here the whole time.
I don't know what's wrong with you.
I know.
I know.
Although, you've got to take, I mean,
used to are smart in one way.
If you're going to have a psychotic,
if you're going to have a psychotic break,
use it as a way to get off the stage.
Well, in that case,
so long
farewell
a something something
bye I wish
you could see your friend
at Ulrify
do do do do
do do do
do do
I want to thank you.
The sun is gone to bed and so must I.
I want to thank everyone so so much for coming out and seeing us.
And as I go, please, will you all chant studs, studs, studs.
Thank you so much.
Oh, hello for the Magic Tavern.
My takeaway from what I just heard is that whenever someone decided to leave the stage,
The audience applauded.
Remember at the top when I said there was a visual component to this live show?
Apparently, that was mostly our heroes pulling garbage out of a Walgreens bag.
So you could say a visual representation of what you've come to expect from us.
But if you'd still like to see the pictures, link to the unlocked Patreon page in the show notes.
Usad or the Wizard was played by Matt Young.
Chunk the Talking Badger was played by Adderafi.
Special thanks to everyone at Arts at the Armory.
think you're the kind of person who would like a super studs t-shirt, hoodie, sticker, or mug,
there's a link to our dashery store in the show notes.
Tickets are still available for the upcoming Magic Tavern Live shows in Charlotte, North
Carolina on September 27th, and Richmond, Virginia on September 28th.
What will the people who attend those shows be forced to chant?
Apparently, the Charlotte Show will include special guest Megan O'Neill as Princess
Trachia Aurelia Bellaroth.
Link in the show notes for info and tickets.
Hello for the Magic Tavern is an independent production,
made possible by supporters of the Magic Tavern Patreon.
Patrons get ad-free episodes, all the spin-offs,
and at least two new bonus episodes each month.
Here's a clip of the most recent bonus,
where Joey Bland and Brooke Bright play sorcerers.
Nobody hands us a silver spoon,
except for my rich father, the Baron of Casillette Foyer.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I didn't get anything handed to me.
I just grew up, you know, riding around on the planes, trying to keep up with a bunch of centaurs, running as fast as I could with my two legs.
And I just worked many different jobs taking night magic school, just a single mom trying to make her away through this crazy world.
Ethel, I think you've worked harder than any of us, honestly, and I want to recognize the labor you've done here.
I don't need the validation.
That's the last thing Ethel needs.
She goes home, looks herself in the mayor, and says, you did it.
God, that one time you brought your resume at one of our meetings, it's like six pages.
Yeah, they told me I need to cut that down because nobody's going to read all six pages.
You've got to catch them in the first line.
Like really catch them in there.
But there's just, I don't even know where to start.
I honestly, I don't want to work anymore.
I just want a sorcer.
This finally answers that riddle.
When is a bonus a burden?
