So, In spite of what you have heard, we're at the height of our powers Atop the toll of our towers And unless I'm wrong To take my head if you trust And we'll do it with me much Until it's turning out just like to play The final way cell brown

But our mojo is strong And unless I'm wrong And I'm not, we're at the height of our power So hair dryer activates his, you know, drying a friar Do you want to take another pass at that, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hair dryer grabs the pull cord on the front of his mex suit and pulls. And you hear the kind of engine start as these like, you know, dryer tubes, these silver tubes arc out from him.

The hot air blowing from them lifts him off the air as other tubes kick in from the back. And he comes flying into the house. you see him hover over the syringes laid up on the floor in the front as he goes past knocking over the animatronics that have been set up in the hallway. Certainly not all of them. Surely he had to get bonked or scared by the big tree with the face on it. You know, give me, give me Griffin, because he's moving pretty fast. Yeah, 2D8 roll. 2D8 roll.

One success. With one success, it knocks him, you know, back for a second. He doesn't get scared, but it gives you guys the two of you. Navy and Roger are still up on the main floor while Lyle is down on the lower level. You have a second to react as he's coming charging in. I think I'm just going to try to reset position, right? Go back to my little hiding space near the stairwell behind these bushes. Because I see that Roger is kind of doing the same thing.

Rogers posted up next to the screening room. So I think if we can get the element of surprise here, it would only, I mean, it worked so well with the last day. What about you, Roger? What are you doing? I think staying in place until he gets a little bit closer and then taking action then. Okay. He comes hovering in. He makes his way.

He gets in here in the center of the space and begins kind of scanning around. Hot boys! Hot boys? What have you done to my hot boys? Give me a 3D8 roll, Roger, for the folks in the movie. We're going to see if they can hear over the movie

and through the closed door. Ah, okay. 154. I like the idea that you locked them in there and then turned up the volume all the way. That immediately becomes like black sight, like torture experiment at that point.

No, no, no. So they hear and you hear them react to it, but they cannot give the door open. They are still trapped in the room. He's hovering around. You can see this hot air as it is spreading around from him and he's blowing around, spinning in a circle.

He's just knocking books off the shelf in the library. Nicknacks, decorations, picture frames are falling off the wall. Oh, man. The structure that's happening all around. Are there any of the traps that have not tripped? Are there any untripped traps? Tripped bubble cop hit with a bottle of the hospital. I mean, I think the flow.

flashing lights and ghost sounds or whatever I had. Yeah, the only ongoing ones are the waxy slippery floor at the top of the stairs and the lights and sounds. And where are the lights and sounds? Happening all over the place every like 15, 20 seconds. Okay. I'm trying to figure out if it would make sense to try to lure him nearer to any of the unsprung trap. Man, let's get him out of this space. Like the bottom floor seems so much more indestructible with all the training stuff and the pools and stuff.

I would rather – he is going to destroy this whole room. Where do we want him? I think downstairs, right? Because Axel Isle is already down there. Okay. All right. Roger is going to use counterfeit to imitate one of the hot boys. But which one?

Oh, man. A classic query Kurtie That was a great choice Kurtie hot boy I hope Kurtie wasn't one of his favorite I hope Kurtie wasn't one of the ones that stepped on the syringes The medicine surprise

Well A medicine whoopsie A medicine whoops So he's going to imitate one of the Should I roll or try to do the thing first You know what Dad I want to hear you do the thing first. Be a hot boy.

Okay. Let's do what comes naturally. Okay. We're out. Now, wait a minute. Is that the, oh my God, Mac? That was one of the wilder sounds

I've heard you make in my life. The hot boy's so hot he's melting. We're out. We're upstairs. It's upstairs, right? Yes, it. Are we upstairs? Downtown.

Downtown. Yeah, yeah. And we want him to go upstairs. Okay, so we are on the first floor. That is the thing on the left, right? The one on the right is the basement. And the basement is where all the training. We're downstairs, boss, and we need help.

We're in big trouble. Big, big trouble. Oh, my God, Kurti. Save us. What happened to you, Curtis? If I describe it, it will cause so much emotional trouble for you, you won't be able to function. You just get down here and help us.

Okay, now roll 3D.A. Clint, this voice is next level good. It is a shame that you are not playing Kurti this. As much as I love Roger. I'm not always this fleming, though. You brought Kurti to life. That's a good point. Thank you.

Okay. It's going to be a Kurti spent off. Eight, two, and two? So one, see. Okay, yeah. So he's. he's unsure how to feel about it. He gets to the top of the stairs.

He moves over there and he's still hovering, right? So the Waxy Floor isn't quite getting him. And he said, Kurti, you sound different. Can I pop out and try and knock him down the stairs, get him where we wanted? Absolutely, they can. Yeah, you absolutely.

Then in one of the light flickerings, I'm going to wait until it gets dark and then sort of just like step up right beside him. So when the lights come back on, I'm just like, hey, cool. Oh, and I'm doing the curtie voice. It's so good, Daddy. Hey, man. It's a magnetic cat.

Stay in your lane, dude. Sorry. I see you've also got a cool tech backpack. What? Okay, with using your lights and sound trap, give me bulky boy three-day and add an extra D-A. So we're going to do four D-A. And the fact that the floor is slippery, right? Not great, guys.

One success. 1338. He is surprised and attempts to, like, grapple you. Oh, that's great. That's what I wanted. And you slip on the waxy floor and the two of you go down the stairs. That's what I wanted. Yes, but you are not in control.

You're sending me on a real emotional journey right now, Travis. Listen, that's what a mix success does, but... Yeah, sure. So the two of you are down. he is in control of your form. You know what I'm man? I don't know how I feel about that. Well, he's holding on to like your lapels,

onto the straps of your water pack, right? But he is coming out on top. Let's put it that way. Yeah, I want to get in. Roger, you've just seen this happen and they disappeared down the steps. What do you do? Go charging after.

No, you know what? Here's what he's going to do. Oh. He is going to go charging after. but at the very top of the stairs is going to uh nimbly Is that a word? Is nimbly a word?

Yeah. Nimbly leap over. Now you've said it too much and I'm not sure anymore. Yeah. Nimbley leap over. Nimbley, nimbly, nimbly. No, it doesn't get better. Nimbly, bimbley.

Yeah. Okay. Say it in the curtie voice? Leaps over the slipper. Uh, nimbly, nimbly, nimbly. Yeah, okay. Now that makes sense. Travis, how are you not loving this, man?

I am. Are you kidding me? Okay, okay. I'm loving it. So he nimbly leaps over the slippery part and just launches himself to do a, to do a, a, a, a, a, a, a cowning ball. It's like a half of cannonball, cow, and Calvin ball. Hold on, let me look in the back here. No, no, I'm sorry. That says a bucket that says cow puns, and it's got.

that we're talking about morsels, tiny crumbs left unused. I'll tell you guys, I'm looking at the judges, and one of them just thumbs up so hard he broke his wrist. Oh, man, okay. Yeah. So you're also... In my folio, we've never stalked anything like that. You're also cannonballing into me, too, because we are wrestling, right?

Yeah, Roger, give me, you're a pretty graceful man as an infiltrator and spy, and we've established this. So first, you're going to give me 3D8 roll to avoid the slippery floor. Okay. And then a 3D8 roll to calm down. Ooh, mix success. Okay. So we're going to change that to a 2D8 roll to cannonball down the steps since you only got a mix success.

Another mix success. Guys, we need to get off the fence here. We need to poop or get off the pot. Get real. Start failing? If you fail, you get experience. This is the mixed success is the worst result. So with that mixed success, you're going to come down maybe not as graceful as you had intended.

You're going to knock into Navy and dryer as they are together. You are going to knock Navy out of hair dryer's control. Thank you. But you are both prone. And he goes kind of spinning off. Okay. Did I take any damage? No, not on mix except.

Okay. Us big boys don't worry about that falling down the stairs. We're big boys. Yeah. You two are prone, though. So you are like hands and knees. Lyle, you are up. I'm downstairs.

Has anybody made it down to where I am? Yeah, man. Look at the map. If you look on Roll 20, you'll see. We just both leaped and rolled down the stairs and tumbled and fell. No, but I mean bad guys. I don't care what they're doing. Yeah, hair dryer's done.

Yeah, we're all down there. Okay, perfect. Uh, they don't see me. Hmm? They don't see me. In what way? I'm, I'm in the river. Oh, you're in the lazy river.

I'm in the crazy river. Whoa. Can you tell me the difference between a lazy river and a crazy river? I'm in it, and I'm on. And I'm ready to fight. Oh, that's great. And I'm turning this lazy river into a crazy river. So I'm cycling in the river.

Uh-huh. until... Oh? I can't make any noise, right? Because they'll hear that. So I'm just floating in the cycle until I can get the jump on them. Oh, okay.

So I'm going to have an advantage on this role because I... I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I am using the crazy river to float up on them and get the jump on hair dryer. Can I tell you what you've done here, Justin? Yeah.

Now I'm... Because I was going to give you advantage. Yeah. Now I'm worried you've taken words out of my mouth. Yeah. What I meant was I didn't mean like literal rolling advantage. I meant I'm getting the advantage on them. That's how I was careful for you.

I don't want to take. I don't mean technical advantage. I mean, narrative, narratively, I have an advantage. I don't actually know if you realize this Travis creator of this game, but I don't think there's advantage in the abnable scale. No, I can just add dice. Yeah, right. At my whim.

Yeah. Right. Well, Justin, you already have extreme hiding. Use camouflage to hide the empire mess. Yes. So give me a 4D8 roll. And we'll see how it turns. Holy crass.

Wow. Okay. Here's rule on the fly trabb. We got a straight here. We got a five, six, a seven, and an eight. That's got to be something, right? It feels like something. I mean, let me think.

Let me think. Okay. Justin, here's what I'll say. This is your reward for four successes here. One, you have become one with your environment. This crazy river is now, it's as much you as you are. You were born in these waters. Yes.

He has merely discovered them. You were born in them. He adopted them. I want you now to feel like you can move through them with ease. But two, you also are going to get, when you are ready to act upon hair dryer, you are going to get two extra dice to roll against him. It is hair dryer's turn. As far as he's aware, the two of you, Roger and Navy, are the only combatants he's facing.

So four of his mini silvery... Oh, they know where I'm at. Oh, okay. They know. Oh, they know. They know the old crazy river routine, for sure. He's going to turn his hoses upon you and blast you with two extreme blasts of hot air. Both of you now crouched down on the ground.

So Griffin normally Navy would have bulky boy, but as you are prone, you're going to only roll 2D8s. Well, bulky boy is also, it makes him hard to knock down. It doesn't make him more resistant to damage or whatever. And I've already been knocked down, so bulky boy definitely don't apply. And, but for boo, yeah, you, Roger, you get one D8 to try to avoid taking full damage here. How many is he rolling? Well, so I'm having you guys resist because he's not attacking. Yeah.

He's trying to, like, throw you around with big glasses. Cool, cool, cool. Okay. I'm going to school. Oh, no. That's double ones. Double ones. That's a totally bogus.

That is totally bogus. Oh, that's so bad. Practice makes perfect, though. Practice does make perfect. What happens to him? Well, you got to roll too, man. You might be joined the Double the Snake Guys Club. Yeah, don't get a lot.

Those bad guys that were there. Am I rolling one or two? You're rolling one. There's not even a button for that. I'm rolling an actual D8. Okay. Guys, Jesus. Swear to God.

It's a one. All right. Oh, my God, guys. Wee. Yeah, so you guys, like, he turns on you, and you two are, like, ready to get just absolutely tossed around, like, racgalls. Until. And then... Yes?

He hears a splash from behind him. And out from the water. He hears a whisper in his ear. Splish, splash, I've been biding my time. And I kick him in the butt. The unbrenuably perfect maneuver. That's really good. That's cool.

Well placed. A perfect place. And here's the thing is, I know I got 2B8 on this traves, so you already told me that. So I know whatever kick this guy is about to get is going to be the best kick I can give to a butt. This feels like a time to shine situation. This feels like a fateful butt kick. I'm going to use three time to shine dice because this is exactly Axelial in his element, in a crazy river. Kicking butt, this is in.

The very active kicking butt crystallizes the tone of this season. the show. It's not a gargoyles thing. They don't kick butts on gargoyles. No, no. Not as a rule. It's trending more samurai pizza cats. Yeah, true. Okay, Justin, that's three dice plus two plus, uh, let me think here. This is, I mean, this is a training. This is a kick. So eight total? Yes, eight total. Ain't a button for that either. Yeah, you're going to roll 68 and 2D8s. Oh my God. Holy, wait. This has to be something too, right?

Oh, God, I got a triple Calabunga. Triple, he got 8-8-Ca-Cabunga. And a six. Sorry, I got an ultra- Mega-Calabunga. Yeah, man. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Triple-Aids and a six. So four successes total.

It's an extra-mega. I want to call it. Ultra-Mega Calabunga. And sandwich between these two roles was a double total failure on mine and dad's parts. The dice are being kind of silly today, I feel like. Yeah. So not only. Do not only do Navy and Roger not take any damage, right?

As they're sitting there, you get that like hot blast of air that starts to like vibrate their cheeks and live, you know, blah, as it's like blowing them backwards, right? Their eyelids flapping, right, in the wind. You come springing up out in a like just kind of perfect, like a perfect just hovering kick into his butt. And not only does he go flying and bash against the wall and take two damage and kind of crash to the ground for a second, it's perfectly framed in the security camera footage of this amazing moment. It's so good, man. I point at Axelaya and I say, that one's going to be in the TikTok reel.

For sure. Thanks. And then you hear, bing bong, the front doorbell has just rung. Oh, man. Oh, okay. Um, hmm. How's it looking down here, Traf? I mean, he's knocked low for a second.

Oh, hey, let me see. Camera activate. You can see, like, this connects to the front panel. It's an intercom system throughout the house. And there you see on the video a delivery person with, you know, boxes of parts. And he's just kind of standing there at the front door looking around checking his watch. Oh, okay. Well, hey, time out on this.

All right? We've got a delivery. Hold on. And then I carefully walk upstairs, avoiding the slippery things on the stairs. Nice try, Travis. Avoiding the drug needles that I strewed about. And I'm opening the door carefully in a ginger manner. And it said, hello, my name is Axelow.

I'll take the package. Thank you. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah, man. I just need you to sign here. Of course. I would never want to impede your business. Oh, thank you so much, my deeply.

I appreciate it. Absolutely. And here is your signature, my friend. Have a good day. All right. Oh, of course. Yeah, one second. My wallet's in my dad's house.

What? Thank you for everything. Close the door. Head back out there. Well, before you can have back out there. Yeah, give us a little solo scene with, With Jim Bob. Hair dryer is kind of, you know, shaking off the day.

He's still on the ground. Sorry, did he just... Where did he go? Did he say timeout? Yeah. We did a timeout on the battle so he could sign for a pack. You've never been interrupted by like a delivery driver in the middle of... Happens all the time, boss.

What? You were Kearney? All the time. Wow. Wow. It was always... I was always... Hey, can I ask you guys a question just real quick?

Yeah. Yes? Did you kill any of my hot boys? Ew. Well, I saw a bunch of mystery syringes. No telling what was in those. Sorry, what? There may have been a big fart blast.

Actually, I think I was the only one to suffer that in particular chain. It could have been COVID boosters or vitamins? Did any of them have a pre-existing heart condition? All right. I'm sorry about that. Oh, good. Enough sad. I can't get out of this voice.

Sure, one second. Just a delivery. I don't know. It was the... Sorry, you got a delivery? Yeah, one second. I haven't opened yet. This is my favorite plan.

And I find some spare parts for the oven upstairs. Oh. Well, actually, continue the time out for a second because I'm going to be upstairs. What? I know. Just for a minute. Down here.

Come on. It, that should actually rule your response. I'll forget. I'll be sure. If I could just put them near the oven. These two? Yeah, of course. I do like a mid-fight time out, though, because you can, like, catch your breath a little bit and put your best.

Really put your back into the rest of the ball. I saw that there was a, there was a rainforest cafe over there. Can I go grab, like, a drink or something? I'd rather, I mean, they'll have to charge. I mean, if you're about to fix the oven, like, why don't we stop in at the rainforest cafe and have a drink? Well. Yeah, you guys want to go to the Rainforest Cafe and have a drink together and I'll just fix the oven. Okay, sounds good to me.

You're going to fix an oven? It's a pretty basic repair. And if you do it incorrectly, it's a real fire hazard. Well, do you want any help with that? Like, I built my whole mix suit here. I could help you out. Yeah? Actually, it will be great.

Yeah, I went to DeVry. Oh, they're serious about success. Yeah, come on. Okay. We'll just take a quick time out and I'll fix your oven. Okay. Okay, do you want me to bring you something from rainforest? Can you actually try to climb up?

Sorry, let me say it again, I misspoke. Can you actually try to clean up? Oh, like, would you my cleaning up? Me? Yeah. No, no, no, no. I need your help with the oven. Okay.

I need you to clean up down here if you could. There's so much best. They're going to be so wagging with me. Okay, but then we're going to time in and keep fighting, right? Oh, sure. Absolutely. Maybe outside. Okay.

Where is the Swiffer? Okay, so 45 minutes later. Thank you again, by the way. I'm sorry that you burdened yourself. That's so embarrassing. No, it's okay. He was minor. You know, all things considered it's pretty easy fix.

He said they had a guy coming to fix this? Well, you know. What a charge him an arm and a leg, I bet. I'm sure, yeah. Well, thanks again. I appreciate it. Hey, no problem. Oh, right.

Yeah, oh, time in? Yeah. Oh, okay, great. Only if you're ready. No, no, no, I'm good. And give me... They're still ready at the Rainforest Cafe. There's no way they got served in 45 minutes. No. They wish. Give me, Lyle, a... I'm looking to see what you've got here. Yeah, okay, just 2D8 reaction roll here.

Or excuse me, yeah, 2D8. Instinct. Mix success. Mix success. One of those dryer tubes. from his suit comes whipping at your head, rejected, you know, by the blast. You're able to duck it, but you have to kind of jump out of the way. Pretty rude.

You said it was time in. Well, yeah. Okay. Yeah, no, that's true. All right. Okay. And he is going to tackle you. Well, more like pick you up as he, you know, you jump out of the way.

He grabs you by the back of the shirt. And he's going to take you. back into the library. The two of you both flying back. It's just finished putting all the books up in there. It's so rude. Okay, what do you do, Lyle? So we're back upstairs.

Yeah. Tell me about the library. I know I've been here a million times, but tell me what I see. So in each corner you see tall bookcases, maybe 12 feet high you would estimate with some ladders that would move between them. There's a set of three in each corner so that they make kind of an angled, you know, straight, angled, angled straight kind of across the corners. So 12 bookcases total.

It's varying sizes of books, thicknesses of books, mostly books about amphibians. I mean, one would hope, right? Yeah. Hey, is your butt okay? I meant to mention. It hurts really bad. But it has been 45 minutes since you kicked it, so I've had time to recover slightly. Oh, perfect.

Okay, that's just what I wanted to hear. Drop kick to the butt. Uh-huh. It's like when you focus on a, like, a mex eyes. Flying drop-kick to the butt. So in your mind, this is, yeah, this is like a God of War original series, big battle where there's like a glowing gem or something you have to hit in the giant evil thing, and it's his butt. Right? It's so weird that we're actually like, not just brothers, but psychic.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Great. Great. It's like when you fight like an octopus monster and an RPG, and suckers will just try and take out the tentacles, but it's like, nah, you've got to focus on that one spot

or else it's just going to keep making more tentacles. And for him, it's his butt. Frankly, you're using my own logic against me because I've argued many times before that the butt is nature's perforation. And it would be the easiest way to tear a person and have. Yes. That's true.

That and many other interesting things you've said to me over the years are always-fronted by you. I know, thank you. We have so few exposed lobes if you think about it. But you could not, if you're going to rip someone in half, why not start it's the place to get a grip? It's not just perforated. It's not just perforated, Travis. You can really get a pretty good grip on that thing.

This is my logic. Give me an attack roll there kicking him in the biot. You do have battle training in your ab skills. You have 3D8 with your ab skills. So give me a 3D8 roll to kick. Did that work? Oh, my golly. Oh, sheesh, that's three big failures.

That is three big failures. And that could be the name of our superhero of our animals team. Three big scotmy again. Three big failures. As you go to kick it, first of all, make sure you get your practice things. Perfect point. Did you almost say poif? Poifick.

If you named it that, it might be easier to. remember the mechanic. Maybe. He grabs your ankle and attempts to throw you. Oh, my God. Wow. He attempts to throw you into one of the bookshelves, but he does not do so with three failures. Tell me how you avoid getting thrown into a bookcase.

I look at the spine of a book, and what has fallen open, actually, I look at the open page. says like how to avoid grab 101. And so I noticed that book and I'm like, what in the heck? When I'm reading it, it just says duck. And then I duck. Okay, so he grabs your foot as you try to kick him.

You see the book. He goes to let go, right? And you just kind of duck as you're reading the book. Yeah. And then once I'm at the ground, then once I shrink down, now I'm on the ground. Like the book said, and then I bite his hand.

Does the book say to do that? Are you still following the book at this point? I don't have teeth. Shoot. I, okay. I, uh, I'll, I can't kick him again. It's too embarrassing. He'd be expecting that.

If you don't see that coming. Okay, so I avoided the attack. Why is it, why is it on me to do something else? I avoid the attack masterfully. Okay. All I asked was how you avoided the attack. Travis, why didn't you interrupt me? I'm trying to do that less than life.

Well, you gotta have... Why are now? You gotta have limits. Okay, so Roger and Navy, you hear a scuffle going on upstairs. What do you do? And we're just chilling... I believe we're chilling in the rainforest cafe? That is where we left off, yes.

I look at him. I look at Roger, I say, oh, is it time in? We missed time in! They didn't let us know. That sucks. I feel so excluded. Let's go. Foul play, sir.

Let's go. I am covered nearly head-to-to-to-to-and-s spaghetti as I rush up the stairs. Huh. Into the library. Is that part of your plan? No, I just have never eaten spaghetti before, and he didn't really know how it works and how to do it. Like, he is still kind of an animal, and he tried to. his hand at like pasta

with a knife and fork situation. Was he bad at it or did he just eat it with such a childish abandon? It was no, it was a skill issue for sure. Okay. Oh, okay. Roger, is there any food you would like to voluntarily code yourself in?

Well, Roger was trying to be the good, no, not code himself in, but Roger was trying to be a thoughtful host. He is bringing a leftover bag with him. Oh, excellent. Goes rushing up to the confrontation and says,

All right, fellows, I've got beer lava nachos. I've got a volcano cob salad, some pasta laia. But I think you really like. Careful with the pasta. It's tricky. It's real tricky. Look to my left to see. and I brought a rumble in the jungle wrap

And I think you'd really like this hair dryer And he throws the rumble in the jungle wrap At whatever If he's a giant dryer He's got to have some kind of intake Oh there's an intake Yeah there's an intake Yeah he throws the rumble in the jungle wraps

At the intake I thought for sure you were about to attempt to plume I genuinely thought that's the way this was going. This is my style of diplomacy. That's, but that you can't. It's to jam a dinner wrap in someone's air form? Throw rap first, ask questions later. Oh, so you're establishing dominance.

So important. A rap-based dominant system. I'm trying to remove his advantage of being able to hover above everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's bringing down to ground level. As we've established before, if you wish, You can use your prehensile tail to whip something, to throw something, giving you a 3D8 on that attempt.

All right. Here it comes. Nice, dude. Seven and an eight. That's two successes. Yeah, on two successes, it hits that intake. And it's not a permanent clog, but, I mean, the wind stops while he needs to, like, pull the cord and try to get it unclogged and try to clean it out. and he is now, for the moment,

his dryer system is incapacitated. Nice. While he is down, I want to rush up. Really get a good look at this. Describe his suit, Travis. Is it like an end-of-alien, like Walker mech? Or is it more of a...

No, imagine more like Dr. Octopus, except instead of like arms that come out, It's like dryer hoses. Okay. A combination of dryer hoses and like drones. Yeah. So he can position the dryer hoses around as well as having kind of a rocket pack on the back with direction. Now that it's his mech suit is.

In fact, you know what? Mink with your big old eyeballs there. Yeah. Give me a like looking around, you know, a checking something out role. Two failures, one success. With a make success, you get a. get a very distinct impression. It reminds you a lot of your water blaster. I just, I'm going to take an action here and maybe it doesn't make a lot of sense,

but I want to kind of see what happens. You guys ever get like that on this show? Or it's like, this isn't going to be good, but I'm curious. Yeah, one time I ate a rock. Yeah, that's true. So don't you just do stuff. See where it goes. You got to follow the muse. I'm going to run up, grab one of his hoses, shove my hose inside of it, and blast. Yes, you are. I love that. Hey, Griffin. Ask me if I saw that coming.

I mean, ask me if I think it's romantic. It might, I'm concerned it may be, I don't think it's romantic. How they do it, Avatar, I think. Yeah, that is what they do on Avatar. Reconnect our hoses, and I blast thinking, like, maybe I can fry this thing from the inside out of. It's not built for wet. Okay. Give me using your signature item slashback.

Yeah, 48. attackable. I'm going to spend, I have only used one time to shine dice, I believe, so I'm going to spend two here. There are hose scientists that are going to see you in the Hague for this. Yeah, for sure. This is the forbidden hose connection that they have warned each other about for years. I'm going to do three. There's some that worry it could open a black hole. Yeah. They're not sure what happens. Uh, no, I'll just use two times shine dice. All right, I'm going to roll 6D8 then. Do it. Please.

You have got to be kidding. Holy crap, Griffin. Wow. 3-4-3-3-4-1. You know what I do? I run in and I say, I say something really great. Hold on my mics being,

hold on my mics be weird. That's what you say? No, no, no. That's not much of a closer, Griff, but I guess that's where we'll end the episode. Hold on my mic's being weird. I mean, it's not our most exciting. I think of a good, like, catch...

He wants to say, like, some really cool... I mean, let's do it. I think that this makes it... He jumps in and he's like, time to hose down... What? Time to... Oh, it looks like it's time to hose down the...

Just forget it. I jam it in. I'm, like, looking at the cheesing at the camera, like, this is going to be really good stuff. As I've covered in spaghetti, like... It's hose time for big boy... It's a hose time for the big boy. At that moment, two hose guys.

guys, explode. Now, unfortunately... That is fully what he's looking for here. He is looking for like the clip. He is trying to get the clip. And he's covered in spaghetti and he's just at this point shouting monotone like

the hose knows when it's time to go. Oh, the hose nose. Looks like the hose nose is tired. And I'm just trying to blast his pack with my pack. Just blast it off in there. With six successes. Travis, six failures. With six failures, excuse me, for me, Griffin, from my point of view, you blast the

rap remnants out of the intake and you have just pressure washed his system. Yeah. Absolutely clean. Can I get hit by the wet rap? Oh, absolutely. He's not... Oh, absolutely. He's not a brave. He's a slow motion, Griffin. On six failures, I just. what it be. Just shame me. Punish me, Papa. Yeah. And you know what, Griven? It's perfectly framed in the security camera. Oh, no. Oh, no. Well, I mean, this could be good. This could go viral in a different

way. I take a mental note of that. Uh, I looked at a hair dry. Like, I'm going to, um, permission to, uh, uh, undock here. I'm gonna just, I'm gonna, just, I'm gonna, yeah, no, no, you want to sling backwards? Yeah, that was, if you don't mind. Uh, no, yeah, go for it. And he pulls, uh, he pulls the ripcord on his system once more and the engine kicks in and the hot air begins blowing from his hoses again and Lyle

you are up what is he doing with the hot air right now you can see like almost like something starting to achieve lift off you know like when you see a rocket jets start the engine start you can see like the

you know the warm air start to shoot out from the bottom of the hot air, and he's like just starting to hover off the ground. I'm going to try to tackle him into Sergeant Salamander's Security Center. Yes, excellent. Give me, since he is just starting to hover and doesn't have full control yet, give me. I was going to ask if the fart trap was still in there, but it's been 45 minutes fully at least. Well, I didn't fart in there, did I? I thought I farted in the theater.

No, you farted. Sorry, Dad, maybe you're confused. You farted in two different rooms in the last episode. I did. And you might have farted multiple times. It was really like I crop dusting? I mean, is that? Well, so for you, Lyle, you are going to give me a 48th total to tackle him into the fart room.

Man. Man. One success. With a single success, you tackle him into the fart room, but you are also in the fart room. Oh, man. Okay. Well, gotcha. Battle over?

He begins kind of hovering the different, his tentacles around him, for lack of a better word, and trying to create, like, an area of clean air around him, and you see the fart begin to swirl. around him in a visible way. So powerful are Roger's fart. He's a fart bender. From the fart tribe. We're going to see how successfully it works. Oh, with two successes.

Yeah, he's able to create a little pocket of air around his head. What do you guys do? Now, I will say, Lyle, you have just thrown him into the security room. You are now between him and the door. Roger's going to use his prehensal tail to pull Lyle out of there. Okay. Yeah, give me a 3D8. I can set.

Good. Cool. That's important. With it makes success, you get hold of him and you are able to get him, I would say, to the doorway. So now you're kind of half in and half out of the room. Maybe what do you do? What do I do? I mean, I'm kind of really shook by what happened in the last.

Yeah. In the last sort of section. Of course. How messy is it in here, right? Are we expecting them back today? Yeah. He went to go see an opera, but it's been about two hour and 15 since he left. Yeah, I'm going to start cleaning up a little bit.

I feel pretty bad. I mean, it's such a big mess. And then I, I mean, like earlier with mud and I guess like pasta. And I don't really think, I don't really feel like being. in the video anymore. And so I'm going to just start sort of cleaning things up in here, just sort of cleaning up, following them as the battle goes. So currently, he is in the room, filled with farts, in the security room. Roger, you have your tail around Lyle's firefighter suspenders. He pulled him to the doorway.

Lyle, you are in the doorway. What do you do, Lyle? So I'm out. I'll use Hatchet Man to a... attack the door keypad, locking it and sealing him in there permanently with the first. Hey, do you know if you guys have any chlorox wipes? Two successes. On two successes, you slam hatchet man into the security panel outside the door. You see the power inside the room go down and the door slammed shut as a security measure. If anyone tries to hack that panel, the whole thing shuts down and becomes kind of a reverse panic room.

and you have locked hair dryer successfully in Sergeant Salamander Security Center. I would like to make an observation. I would like to observe that hair dryer, there has to be a heat element involved in his system, right? If you're about to suggest that the temperature of the air coming out of his pipes is so extreme that it would ignite the farts. Yes, exactly what I was going to suggest. Well, but that's the fart.

This is a chemical reaction for half of our upbringing. Fartz is methane. It's methane. Fartz is methane. He says, thanks, Dr. Wizard. You hear a hairdriar just kind of like very, well, for lack of a better word, impotently just banging his fists on the door. Aye.

Not cool. It stinks like butts in here. Did his accent change again? Is he from New York all of a sudden? It's just the door. It's a New York door. It's a New York door that makes sound more New York like? Listen, we got to think fast, guys.

Listen, we cannot have one stinky roof when they come back. We got to clear this out. I don't, I'd love to watch him just, you know, get knocked out in there, but we've got to get the stink out. Well, it looks like you buried your axe right in the control panel that opens the door. It'll be a while before anyone goes me. Hair dryer, do you see a vent there or anything, man? I am a vent.

Hey, great, can you through the air? If I do, will you let me out? Um, I don't think that's... Can I roll for if I will? Are you asking me that you want to roll and see if Lyle wants to let him? Like, you're letting the character control themselves? Sometimes, Travis, I just throw these things out. Just a mere frippance.

Just a mere dalliance, Travis. Not everything needs to be held out to the daylight and under such a harsh scrutiny. We all knew it was a simple bomb. Let's move on, shall we? Oh, I got it. I got it. I got it.

We'll say, hair dryer attacked. Look at all these dudes we knocked out. This place is just spotless. And we locked him in there, and he's been farting like crazy. And so we pinned it on him. We say he filled it up with his passings.

Perfect. Are you those talking about letting me out? Are you talking about letting out? I think you're going to stay on this part plan. Well, but be with you in just a moment. Hold on. Just breathe deeply and calmly. Now, this is breathe deep.

What you want to do is breathe in four counts, hold it for four counts, and then let it out in eight counts. Just how quick does methane burn? This is all I'm trying to figure out. Well, if you've got a sparking control room panel. Hey, hair dryer, are you able to get a spark going in there, pal? No way, man. This is methane. Yeah.

It's a different kind. It's safe methane from free-range cows. It's ethical. Okay. I'm trying to get into a lot of spark to burn off the gas. You think it's going to have just burn off. We all had a lot of fun in here. We all had like so much, like tons of fun.

The simple fact is you cannot afford enough to blow up a whole room. It's impossible. This is like not a danger anymore except in the scent department. So I just need somebody light a match, you know? That's all I'm trying to get to. I get you. Okay, Justin, I'm going to have you roll to convince hair dryer to light a match that it's safe.

So it's totally safe. I just said all that. Yes. And I'm going to say because you are an extreme firefighter, you're more trustworthy in this scenario. Okay. You sound more convincing. Uh-huh.

And you have three trained. dice. So roll four D-Aids. Okay, yeah, you got two successes there. And he goes, Okay, sounds good. I'm gonna kind of cycle it for you. I got, uh, let's see here. And you hear, hoof. Um, and because of the swirl of flame he got, he lights a match on your instruction. Um, and he is then going to roll. Well, now, first, he's got to stop and drop. I want you guys, what did he get?

I rolled it right there. Two eggs. What did I get? A comedy Oscar. You got a comedy Oscar. He got a double cowabunga. So he funnels the methane through his vent into one of the venting pipes there and uses it as kind of a makeshift like flame throw, like a, what's the word I'm looking for?

Like a laser cutter, one of the plasma cutters. and uses your methane to cycle through to open the door to cut the mechanism to open the door. Wow. Insane. Can I add that to Roger's powers? That would be cool. Do you have a powerful, like, hair dryer-esque vensing system? Yeah.

I'll work on that. Okay. Next time we go see the cat. Snarf. Can't believe you forgot Snarf saying that's crazy. Okay. What do you guys say? We call this one a draw.

Could that possibly mean in this context? I mean, yeah. Also, if you check the scoreboard, it's like 40 to zero. Yeah, we whipped up on your boys. Yeah, you guys won. You guys are formidable, man. Hold on, hold on. Can you look up there and say that again?

Yeah. At the camera? And say, like, these guys are formidable. Yeah, you got to like. Give them a call for all of the, and we'll superimpose to the phone number later. Give them a call for all your, your, your, you're, heroic needs.

Oh, yeah, you got it, you got it. Do we have one of those little scan things we can put in the corner? A QR code? Yeah, yeah. I guess we do. I don't know how to make those. One of my hot boys does. I think I'm pretty sure.

I've only heard of ZUR codes. Justin, you are on fire today. You have a far, literally. Let Justin roll every time he says a pun because it hasn't gone awesome so far. He looks up at the camera and goes, huh, these animals? They're formidable. They stop me in my tracks.

Call them anytime you have a bad guy related issue. And they got great prices. What was that? Great prices. And they got great prices. Reasonable prices. Great prices. Don't add lit it, please.

Okay, sorry, sorry. And can you sing the theme song at the end? Yeah. Yeah. They have great prices. Contrary to what you've heard, they're at the height of their power. Yeah. tallest of towers, they'll stand.

And then he sings right. Yeah. Jonathan Colton smashes in through the skylight above. Oh, yeah. That's what he sounds like. IP theft. Welcome to my cruise. Rie, your IP theft.

And he says, so, would it be cool if I just kind of collected my hot boys that and, like, left or? Yeah. as you clean up as you go, because, I mean, we have quite a bit to do on this floor. Here, can I ask, out of curiosity, what's the grand plan here, man? Oh, I was going to take over this building and turn it into kind of my headquarters, the dry area. Oh, that's right.

So I will just say, for future reference, pretty much any, let me think, yeah, any place on Earth, It's going to be a better, short of place to do that. Yeah, but I've kind of, but I've like built myself up as like the nemesis of them. Because, you know, they're all infidians and like I dry them out. Right. But there's so many places that are, there's so many great buildings that just need an occupant and a little TLC. And you could put this time and energy into those properties. And you'll get a return on your investment other than the only.

life of, uh, in prison. We, we actually, I think we have like a real estate guy. We do, don't we? We do. We do. We have a real estate guy. I think his name's Neil, but it's been a long time. It's Dean.

Dean, Dean. And he's an accountant. Dean Neil is our accountant, and he has been very good to us. And I think that that would be a better use of your time. That's all I'm saying, man. But we also have a real estate guy named Neil Dean. Okay. But we haven't brought up before.

Now, he is thoroughly corrupt. So I do not. Which you might like, actually, now that I'm thinking about it, you should hit a meal deal. So you're saying, by my own building, legally. Yeah. Right. Make it the dry area. There we are.

And not have it be like a criminal enterprise. Not at all criminal enterprise. Huh. It's just a place for people who come and be dry. You charge them out the news. And you see me, right? Dry wines. Okay.

Dry your club. Dry your clothes. Dry your clothes here. That was. going to be the primary thing that it was like a like because you know everybody knows where to wash your clothes you put that in a washer right but like maybe you want a separate place to dry them

right yeah makes perfect sense huh hey I'd like for you to go now okay although you've given me a lot to think about I'm gonna vacuum on my way out sure I think we've been more than fair here man yeah also you have 40 employees it's a little while you don't have an HR person

The size of your organization demands it. No, one of the hot boys is... Yeah. Hot Richard. That's how we remember. HR, right? Hot Richard. He also is HR.

To make you clear, it's not just a pun. He is hot Richard is our HR person. That's how we remember. Works on so many levels. All right, so many levels. Hopefully next time our paths cross me, we can do like a team up if you join the side of the rights. Huh. Yeah.

We'll see. I might just stick with neutral. invite you guys to the grand opening. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm there. So he collects his hot boys. They clean up on the way out. And you see I'm loading up into the bus that they all travel in, the school bus that has been converted into the hot rod. And as they're heading out, the dragon lands that you saw Sergeant Salamander leave at the beginning of all this.

He lances, he says, hey, boys, I'm back. I hope everything went smoothly. Have you guys seen Madam Actual Butterfly? I think you'd love it. Is this place clean? Are we like, is it if our parents come home after throwing a party, are we getting trouble clean? How are we feeling right now?

Cleanliness-wise. Yeah. So I would say looking around at this point, you have repaired as much as you can. The security room without like a full-blown, you know, repair team in here. There's been some damage to the panes. all. But besides that, it's pretty clean.

Cool. You're feeling pretty good. Did I miss it? You guys make sure to take Mud Puppy out and feed him and everything, right? We did, sir, we also expected, we received an unexpected attack from, um, from hair dryer and 40 of his cronies. The boys! Yeah, that's them. Oh, what dastardly deed did that dry?

No. good God, dude. Farted. Farted up, a storm in your big office. So much old plants got home. He farted in my office? And we were like, yuck, dude. We were like, no way, man.

He tried to make it to your office is what happened, sure. He did a little squat, little roadie run into your office, and he said, I run like this so I can blast off in the office he has to work in. He made it to your office. He showed up with 40 of his minions. So he could get in my office and fart. Among other dastry. That's just like him.

Yeah. Weird. But we fended off the attack handily. And I don't believe there is any damage that remains to the property service. Well, I mean, I can see right there that my security panel's been cut open to and somebody like blow-torched open my door. Right. So here's what I want to suggest.

I would like to become a fully-fledged member of the amphibic force. Oh, I see. Otherwise, the insurance will not cover this damage. Wait a minute. Did you guys fix the oven? That is just one of the many services I stand ready to provide as a full member of the infillivorcer. Oven, repair, HVAC, analysis, not service. It's complex those are, but I can tell you usually what's wrong with them.

I see. Can I discreetly grab the security footage that's been recording this? this encounter? Yeah, give me how sneaky are you? I mean, not very, but I don't know how sneaky I need to be.

I'm going into the office where hair dryer was locked and the farts happened, right? Yeah, as it will forever be known. I'll say, in the room where farts happened. I'll, Isaiah, I'm going to go light that candle

real quick, and I'll go into the security office. Yeah, okay, that's reasonable. He's pretty distracted talking with. Sure, sure. Cool. really need a hacker on this team. You guys keep saying you're going to be like the technology guy, but then it never really

comes through. So do you still want me to roll or can I just grab? I think I'm going to have you roll to like figure out the system, you know what I mean, to make sure you can grab whatever the recording device is. I think it's recording onto like CDRs and CDRWs. Amazing, great. I'm going to just go ahead and guess that this is going to be one of our last roles of this particular fiasco. burn the rest of my time to shine dice. So what am I rolling standard? Am I using?

It would be just your standard. This is like an absin. So what do you got in apps? 2D8. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm going to use my three other time to shine days. Okay.

So 5B8s. That's four successes. This is when the money works and it counts. And we do a good job for the first time this is. Okay. So you also had a double six in there. So you had a cowabunga as well. us, so many successes, and a Cowbunga.

What are you hoping to do with this footage? I mean, with this role, I'm hoping I collect the footage, and somehow I look cool in this fight, as well as everyone else. I'm thinking promotional material for our team. I am thinking we have done some great work since we first encountered Carver in the museum, but I also think that our profile has not grown at all, and we still operate out of a corner booth in a happy house. demolished cafe.

Yeah, fair, fair. And if we want to, I think just being here has reminded Navy SEAL what it feels like to be in the headquarters of a place that is like pretty set up, pretty well established, pretty well known, which maybe wasn't as important to him before, but I think that this experience has kind of made him think like, what if the three of us had a nice spot? Yeah, so with not only Kaabunga, but four successes there, you collect the footage, all the footage you need. And I'm going to say that when you do this project,

you are able to cut together like a really pretty convincing, efficient. Everybody looks cool kind of pro- And I'm just going to... Good enough for those things they show before the trailers and movie theaters. Well, yeah. And local spots. This is more going to be like late night TV on the USA Network. You might be able to get it on movies.

I mean, do any of you know, Maria Minuto's in like a person, like having actual connections are her? I know Maria Mooninos. All right. I don't think so. That one hits. Hey man, if I have to stomach 10 of those at a suboptimal quality for the one that really slaps dad, I am fully, fully willing. Nothing should slap that out.

I'm glad to hear that you are invested like that. I start making mental notes of like how to ADR my own. Bad attempts at one lighters. Just to sort of make myself not look like a real goofess in this particular video. Back out with Lyle and Sergeant Salamander. Sergeant Salamander says, you know what? Lyle, right now, I'm not going to lie to you, don't got an open spot in the roster. But I'm going to bump you up from like on call, you know, we needed to like alternate.

How's that sound? Wow, I will take it for sure. Okay, yeah, the next time a new broods off of him, you know, one of his treats or, you know, essentially Anne takes another cooking class. We'll give you a call. Come help us out. Oh, fair enough. All right.

Well, thank you. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Hey, did any of you eat or drink anything? Like, did you pay your tab down at the Rainforest Cafe? Because if not, they're going to charge your card. Are the animatronic animals, is that kind of buying them?

Can you just buy those? Is that on my tab? What happened to them? Look to your right. Oh, God! See, I told you guys. The tree hits every time. You head outside.

Another job well done with the security footage in hand. are you calling a car? I guess you still have your RoliBot, if you will know. Oh, boy. Hey, I want to thank you guys so much for your support in there. You really paid attention to cleanliness in a way that I didn't genuinely expect. So thank you guys. Yes.

We knew it was important to you. Yeah. I got to ask Lyle. Yeah. Don't you think these guys are maybe taking advantage of you a little bit? Oh, for sure, yeah. Absolutely. Oh, okay.

I don't have, I mean, I don't have medical insurance, and I'm, I would just really like that. So now I have it. Because the alternate, you get it. Are you sure about that? I'm actually, I'm 100% sure. I've spent hours of research. You know, I know a guy, I know a guy named Dean, Dean, he's an insurance agent.

Now, he is the one who is, wait, chaotic, neutral? I don't have my chart with me. No, I think Neil Dean. Neil Dean is the real estate guy. Neil De Dean Tyson. Well, there's three others. There's Neil Dean, Dean, Neil, Dean, Dean. And then I'm going to say, Dean, de Dean, Dean, Dean, Dede, Dean.

Which leads into the theme song, Dean, Dine, Dean, Dine, Dean. Listen, Lyle, not for nothing, but. I think you're better than just alternate. And if it's just some benefits that you're doing all this for, we could get on, you know. Affleck! We could get on the, yeah. Oh, crap, hold on, the Afflack Duck, who is actually real in this world.

It's an incredibly evil. Really, really evil. Get out of here, Afflack Duck. I think we could figure it out, man. He's still listening, man. Affleck, Doug, could we please have some privacy? Sorry! Affleck!

Are you looking for another team member? There's two of them now because they love doing it so much. Wait a minute, Affleck, are you a hacker? Afflecker. His name is Affleck. It's not even Jokesy Moore. No, it's just garbage. This has got to be the end of the adventure, right?

We're good, Affleck, Doc. We've got to get going. Okay. As the Afflac Ducks head off into the sunset. They're actually called an A-Flock. I don't think just two of them. A-flok! Why are we stopping, man?

We're hot. We are just hitting our stride now. They made me tell you, we're tracking on this. That is when Navy SEAL, your cell phone begins to ring. Sergeant Salamander here with another amphibifact from the amphibiforce. Cliffside coastlines are a beautiful natural wonder and a great place to bomb. with your family on vacation, but not a great place to fly a drone. High coastal winds will smash that drone right into the cliffs, leaving sharp plastic debris

on the rocky shore below. That's a no-bueno, compadre. Next time, leave that drone alone and leave your cliffs clean. Ancles! Maximum Fun A Worker-Oned Network of Artist-owned shows, supported directly by you.
