Roll For Concentration- Ree-Did-Dee-Donkulous
What's This About?
We forgot to make an episode! In lieu of our regularly scheduled show we bring you this; Roll for concentration.
It's a feedback, postbag, fan show kind of thing. We respond to emails, posit out theories about where the story may go and discuss our favourite moments so far.
It was great fun to do, so send us emails at [email protected] so we can do more!
Also, why not checkout Matt's charity run for Alzheimer's' Society and support him doing something actually worth doing. Thanks for all the support we've received so far!

Thank you all for the support I've received so far!
All music, if not necessarily original, is produced by Matt, with a bit of help from Sam.
Zoda 6 or what? Is that OK? I think. The only thing I can think of that would be even longer closer is James Baxter, but you've not met him yet, so it's not that. I can't remember. Any other recordings OK. Sorry, just discussing the many merits of Adventure Time. Yeah, I don't know whether to act like this is the after show of the most recent episode. I would introduce it as like a this is a roundup kind of thing.
Yes, yes, we are 15 episodes in 16 technics. In episodes in are. You gonna do like an intro or are you just gonna? I don't know. I don't. Want to do I would I would intro it like, you know, welcome to six O 9 a podcast, blah, blah, blah, and then be like today we're doing a roundup of everything we've heard so far to catch ourselves up and everyone else. Yeah. OK. Why hello and welcome to role for concentration. Is that what we're calling this? It's going to be a little sort of like of kilter, yeah, sort of like the conversational version of whatever the fuck it is we normally do.
We're just getting all the chat out of our system before we do like 8 hours of recording is what this is I mean. Episode 16.5. Yeah, yeah, 15. .5 So this is like a roundup, kind of like a story recap. How do we feel, how it's going? What do we want? For our characters to go, I assume? Yeah, yeah. Just like all those shows that you get are after big HBO dramas on Sky, and then you have Claudia Winkelman. This is talking to the actors from the show. There's a junk Jack. It's. Like the secret wives of Mormon lives.
And then they do that final episode where they're all sitting on the sofa. The reunion. Yeah. The what? Secret lives of Mormon wives. Me and Alex have a life. I don't know what you're talking about. It's incredible. Which mean. What is it? It's the secret lives of Mormon wives. That is exactly what it says it is on the tin. They're like socialites fucking each other and it's all insane. They just do. It's. Not. Don't know if we can have that in here. Is it in Mormon? Is it Mormon? Mormon is. Mormon.
Isn't it that the dudes can do that? But surely the wives are still subservient to them? It's slightly. Wasn't that the whole point of those dudes moving to the middle of Utah or whatever? Was that they? Would that was so they can marry children. I learned, yeah, but then that she'll not be discussed. Yeah, I don't think I can have any of this in SO. Yeah, sorry. OK. But yeah, it's like the reunion shows at the end of stuff. And like Housewives shows, yeah, basically anything on Bravo today. Yeah.
Anyway, remember. Bravo used to be a good channel shut. Up I love Bravo. Bullseye used to be on Bravo. Bullseye was a great question. Challenge now you can still see it. Oh, the Dart show, Yeah, yeah. When maybe I was during COVID, when everything was really shit. I've. Got even more off kilter than I've handed off kilter. I found it on Yeah where the TV channel is on now. Challenge or challenge? Is Challenge still a channel? Challenge just for the channel. We all know that Crystal Mays was the old woman.
Although that just made me. Such a good. Show man Scratchy challenge. Bring that back. Looking awesome. Send people into landfills and be like, come back with something productive.
They just come back with bags of disposable vapes. Yeah, look what I. Have got look at all this lithium. Well, I'm going to make a. Bomb. We can't have that in here.
You can't put that in Spotify universe. We're going to make a bomb. Yeah, but I'm not actually going to make a bomb. The nerds in the landfill try. Try and get back on topic. To be fair, you wouldn't find any vapes and stuff in the landfill site because people just throw them in hedges and into school playgrounds and shit. Or. Tear them apart for whatever reason. That's what I do make. Them in the skip. We covered. That I specifically find like primary school playgrounds and take all my old vapes I'm checking.
I love that.
She. She actually does. I've seen her, I saw her. Well, shit like. You know, we used to have a go for it, but I'm not gonna lie, I've kind of like started to join in. And start it early. Look, I can get one in the head, knock him off the swing. Yitty tick tocky little shit.
So we should probably start. Start again. Come on. Come on now. This is why we're doing this instead of trying to play D&D off the bat, isn't it? None of that is fine. Hello. To another. She went into that with such confidence. And it stopped. Hello, welcome to another Where am I? What am I doing? Fuck. Everyone's looking. Hello, welcome to the first official meeting at the Brad, Chad and Chester Fan Club. Oh dude, sweet. I I will be hosting. I am the biggest Brad, Chad and Chester. Oh my. God, one of these things has to be like a Brad, Chad and Chester spell.
Don't give me Chad. Chad, Chad Chester, I'm. Gonna murder all of them. I'll give it the What do we think of walk? Or. I want them all in the gladiatorial arena. Oh yeah, we can push it up.
He could do anything too. Trunk. Should we sort of launch into this with like a sum up at the campaign so far I. Think yeah, feelings, yes. So I think. Previously on. Yeah, time of recording, I think episode 16 comes on in a couple of days. So previously impeded down. Do you know the guy used to do that? I'm pretty certain used to but all the in the world. The Dragon Ball Z guy I don't. Know if the dragon was the guy did like the movie adverts. And stuff, yeah. In the world where all the toasters are you people and that sort of shit?
Yeah. Oh, shit. Have you seen Cocaine Bear? Yeah. Oh my God, it was that last night was fucking. It was. Great, we saw this in a while so. Previously on our campaign, really a derailment. Can you imagine the guy that does those voice servers going to get petrol? He'd be like, I have a bump #4.
And today you will serve me. Excuse me, can you check the stockroom? I know there's something in the parking area. Is the banking area. In the parking area, yes. This is roll the concentration. This is roll the concentration. I mean, Alex is on her phone so. Oh like you can fucking complain a little spin off sign episode which maybe one day will become a patriot thing where we discussed the previous episode or episodes of various theories, questions, ETC. And people. Get love, you know. Yeah, we'll.
Be able to answer like feedback from you guys, yeah. Q&A's, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And have some Q&A's in the inbox. Let me have a look. How big, Shane? Your dragon is being released. And live action focus. The live action. The live action How to Show Your Dragon is being released on the 9th of June. Where did they find the dragon? Donald Trump's basement. What? He's got nothing good in his basement. Definitely not. It's all ex wives skeletons and I can buy documents anyway. Well, should we jump in with her?
Yeah. Well, not just previously in Panatheon because I've done this like 5 Times Now and Carl even did it once. You guys are on a boat. You were shipwrecked while being attacked by pirates. You washed up. You found out that Belcephalus was the bodyguard of the Prince, soon to be king of Panatheon. You found the Prince in the woods being stripteased by a pirate. Were attacked by assassins. Did some questionable things to one of the assassins. Bought some bees. Found a village where children were being kidnapped by crazy Fishman cultist people.
Saved the children, got the Prince back to his home city of Annan's. Met his uncle, a shifty looking guy who I think sounds pretty awesome but you guys don't seem to trust. I trust him. Yeah, that's helpful stress. I don't trust authority. You've scanned it, having finally returned the Prince to his rightful throne, kidnapped him to take him to school so that he could find a magical advisor, a traditional thing that happens in the world of Theon. As part of the Prince's quest to find his future advisor, you were sent to the home of Priamos, a wizard who had stolen a powerful magical artefact from the Magical College in Amnesty.
Who sees all sort of sin that coming? You had a long conversation with him about some pretty scary things that were going on in the world. Didn't kill him. Ran away? Sure. He didn't threaten me. You made your way back to this college with your quarry. You met a baby dragon in the woods. On the way there, his mum had been captured by a bunch of adventurers. You have the baby dragon 3 Lagathraks, the crazy hot lady dragon that was chained down in the mound in the there in the woods again. She gave you some pretty cool exposition about the world.
You're headed back to Amnesty, got yourself a Burger King or McDonald's or your whatever choice of fast food it is that
one day we're going to do Marie Cost and. It's going to be great. I need a whole new character for that because my guy went off paste. Your car was a fucking green. Yeah, it was. It's worse than fucking Dick Crassley. I should've got an anyway, Weinstein. Jesus fucking. You made your way back to Amnesty, returned the Argo org to the college, and became part of the trials to find the advisor, where three random people were picked out of the crowd and eventually you went for Chad. Well, no, no, no, no, no.
I think that needs rewording. No, no, they. Know they heard it. They know what happened. You had three pretty terrible options and you went for the. Most I don't know. Probably the least. I'm a TAD fan. I like. The least damaging? Are you hearing this? I was right. Obviously we can't know what would happen if you went through whichever one, but I think I want to be. This was definitely a wild card. Yeah, they were all wild cards that. Crazy elf. I was like, we've up the wave of our own men to go to Jack, whatever it is outside the castle.
So I am. I have. That's where we are now. So yes. Yeah, I had an some e-mail questions and they include Brad, Chad and Chester. Oh really? You can send us questions or requests I guess for the story for to six or nine. That's the numbers 6 or 9, d&[email protected]. That's a really long e-mail address. This e-mail came from Reginald A Punchinazzi. Who Reginald A Punchinazzi are? We. Is that a real name? I hope that's a real name, Reginald. I love your. Maybe we don't. Reginald A puncher Nazi they have.
Do we read everyone's full name? Should we just go with Reginald? Reginald. Okay, I don't think their last name is actually Puncher Nazi. Yeah, we shouldn't. Say that at all. Yeah, you're saying it's like an Indian name, isn't it? Bunch of Nazi no? It's not. Bunch of Nazi. OK, so this is only a question. It's trying not to be too political but I feel like punching Nazi is fine for. Sure, but I mean. I'll take that out if it makes people feel happy. The way the world is going, maybe punching Nazis is going to become less controversial.
Yeah, I mean, we'll, we'll be. More controversial, right? Well, let me more controversial. Let me try again then. So this this these questions come from Reginald. OK, Reginald. Thank you, Reg. Hi Reg. First comment was it needs more cowbell man, he said. Can we have a tab and sell a deep fried pig bollock cooked by a chef called Pink? I could sort that out. Most importantly, they said, what did Bell Syphilis do specifically to end up with pancreas? Tie to tie to tie to tie scenes entrusting him with the care of the Amos, formerly known as the Prince.
The Prince formerly known as Amos, probably known as Prince. Did Pancestorotic secretly hate Belle Saxophones and thus entrust upon him the burden of carrying around the royal dunce? So I think what they're saying is, what did you do wrong to get saddled with the Prince? It wasn't. It wasn't what I did wrong, it was what I did right. Frank Kurta uses my patron. He he helped me through the gladiatorial arena. He was the one who brought me my arms and armour. He was like the guy who helped me win.
And when he saw how good I was, he gave me the important task of protecting a little shit. Yeah, I think so. Like Bell's back story essentially was that he was, yeah, gladiatorial champion. And we covered this in one of the. Listen to all the episodes, Reginald. Yeah, Pancreatitis hired him as a bodyguard, kind of put him straight into the military. And Carl and I, you know, the dog was so sad. I was like Carl I saw had a bit of a discussion off Mike, which we won't go too far and see. But essentially he was put straight into the military at like Captain, which, you know, unheard of.
Yeah. But that is that's because of his his abilities and whatnot. So. I have another question, OK. What will Brad, Chad and Chester majoring in? Well, I'm going to be the advisor now. That's Chad. Dude, I yeah, I cannot wait to get to and yeah, get my finger in a bunch of pies. I'm pretty certain one of them was studying philosophy and one of them was studying law. I remember Law, yeah. Yeah, I think Brad's going to be a lawyer. It's cool. I can't wait for that. Yeah. And then there's a request for a song to be played on the bagpipes at an inopportune time.
Now at the moment I can only play a very, very poor rendition of Scotland the Brave, so it's going to be some time before I can take bagpipe requests. However, now that I have this request in the inbox, I will see what I can do. What is the song? Pancreas. Pancreas. It says Pancreas by Weird Al. Oh, OK. So yeah, I'm going to need some time for that, but one day. Keep listening. Yeah, I. When you hear it, you'll know. Yeah, maybe if it's identifiable. Yeah. So thank you for sending some questions in.
It's nice to feel scene. I, I, I was very excited. I found the other day the instruction manual for my keyboard and one of the voices on it is bagpipe. And I was like, great. It doesn't sound like a bagpipe. It's like a weird Electro disco synthesiser sound bizarre. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they said that. Like there's loads on loads of like I think traditional like Asian and Middle Eastern instruments on there as well, which probably sound like those things. I can't pronounce them, but then the bagpipe, it's literally like that is not.
I can't play a bad player for that reason. That's not what they sound like. On the subject of people contacting us, I think it's worth giving a thank you as well because I do know that people are listening. Someone actually messaged me to say that their partner was in the kitchen listening to our podcast while he was cooking them dinner. Oh really? And they turned their TV up and got told to turn it down because they couldn't hear the podcast. So. We're annoying people, yes. We have infiltrated people's homes.
Yes. We're annoying people and breaking up marriages. Yeah, that's, I mean that's. That's influence. Me got a knack for that, I guess. It's a joke. It's a joke because they're children of divorce. No. What? I don't know what you said. They were breaking up families and they said I guess me and you have a knack for that. It was a joke because we children of divorce, but we'll cut that out because it'll just upset the parents that listen to support us. Yeah, of. Course they do, yeah.
Hi, Mum. I don't think you guys even listen to the fucking podcast are. We. We listen. Oh, really? Yeah. But we listen to it not on spot. Well, that doesn't help. Listen to it on spot. No, no, we're listening to it on no, because we listen to the edits that you send us and then we correct them and send them back. So no, we don't listen to them on Spotify. I genuinely. To be honest, I listen to every episode. This is going to be pretty damning considering the quality of a lot of the edits, but I listen to every episode multiple times because I essentially do re record on audacity and every sort of 45 minute to an hour long episode is a four hour recording.
We're going to we're going to change that today. Today is going to be straight shooting sensible, playing like you're about to get some really clean episodes, not including. A phone. Is ringing 16? That looks like a tooth. Someone's phone. Is ringing is it yours on the winter cell Because your bed's being delivered. Oh.
Maybe. Well, I'll leave a message.
Is it because you didn't want to talk to a person? I'm not going to call them back because it could be a scam call. Oh, they're trying to find your front door. They're. Not supposed to be here till like 1:00. Oh. OK, well then it's probably a scam call. I'll. Go back if they need it.
Whose phone is ringing? Yours. Well done, it's the editor. The episode is about four hours long. I managed to cut it down to whatever. Add in music, add the I usually add the theme tune of the star quite often forget and then yeah, listen to them over and over again at work so that I can figure out, listen to them on different quality headphones, different volume headphones, just to try and make sure they're all OK and then release them regardless. Fucking dedication or? Honey, it's really cute.
I do realise I've got a long way to go before I'm a good editor. And also we don't have like the equipment and we've only in the last like not that long period of time had a proper like space to sit and record without a lot of interference. So. Yeah, but we're we're getting. We're growing. We're. Getting there. I don't know what? What are we doing? Who's what's everyone's favourite moment? Let's go around the table. What's your favourite moment so far? It corrects me. We have to pretend you have.
Listened. No, I I still think it's the just the entirety of bees. Yeah, like I didn't realise me and Alex had to have like this is where the bits jar came in because I didn't realise quite how like frustrated I get with her character until bees. And then we listened it back and I was like sat next to her just I'm sorry I'm such a bitch. Like, I just was like incredulous that you didn't have a basic understanding of bees and like wildlife's. Not. Everyone's back. Do you know what I mean? I I fear that if I had longer to think about it, maybe I would be be a little more knowledgeable of bees, but I was exhausted.
It was. Having a breakdown? It was a literary style of wait, bees live in hives and there's like. They should all live in. There's like a brief pause as we all take that in and then just hysterical laughter and then you just keep making it worse by saying stuff. Yeah. For sure, but I think that might have, that might have been my favourite. I yeah, I. I mean, anyone who's ever played the game knows the absolute chaos moments that happen are the best. The best moments I would. The unscripted are the best.
Yeah, I because I would go along. I would say that the Slump Party episode, just a little bit of you guys sneaking to the prince's room. I mean like the Prince wake up going oh, hi, my good Tizen. I came back to the room and like you, you guys are arguing about being a bad pirate and I'm stealing the Prince and you were just like shut up. I think like B sticks out to me but I forget how good the slumber part. I mean, we haven't got that far. And. Then the party was. Mine like and then like get back, get back to.
It gave me like. Get back to getting into bed with you. He's. Like and now what you guys like? Oh fuck. It gave me like sneaking around gave me like Krunken and Prisoner groove vibes, you know, like. Yeah, up against the wall, like just knight the knives as well, just you guys, because the knife, the knife got the knife. They're not, they're not. So I I. You're trying to house? Fucking hell yeah I. Said in the thing that it was like 2 hours long. The fight was insane. The the finished product if you like.
I think the actual knife fight is 1520 minutes long maybe, but the actual thing was about two hours. I had to cut out so many. It wasn't even just us talking shit. So many rounds of you guys going I attack with a dagger, that's a three. I attack with this, that's a two. It's just a fucking healthy. But you have like. 8 armour class. You shouldn't be this hard. One of one of one bit that now I've just remembered is forgetting that I had sign language and there was a severed hand and I was like, let me talk to it in sign language.
I was like it's finally coming in useful. I can do. This. Yes, that's all of my favourite moments. It's just a whole pocket. I also one of my favourites is the absolute miscommunication of slicing that guy's throat open to find out that you were lying. I had. That really that role really fucking annoyed me because no, I clearly meant to kill the guy. I have a message from our my name, Matthew's younger brother who lives in Ireland and he said. I think my favourite part so far was when Riv decided to just murder that innocent guy.
She is a good. You're making an impact on our little community. You guys, you guys were just talking and she made the sound in the background and then you both kind of just turned around and looked at her. It was that you could see her like in the moment, just at the day, which is like.
Cut him loose can mean two things. Cut the variable killing. If I wanted you to Cut the Rope, I would have said, OK, free him, cut him loose, he's dead weight. Yeah, I mean, he was a bad guy, like illiterate. Yeah, we turned up and gave off this entire village of people. Oh, what about the? Delay though. We carried round a lump of flesh for two fucking days. Fine, it's totally fine. And then got it cured. No, I'm never the most hinged person in the room, but for once it's. Nice. Isn't it? But yeah, I have a feeling of power.
I don't know what happens to me when that microphone goes on. No matter. No matter what you have done or as a member, I carried the piece of meat fast. His idea, his execution. We just forget that I had, like, pencils and paper 'cause I had like, yeah, like. Stuff I I think you literally said you say, do I have a pencil? Like, no, it was like, but the famous but poet stand up comedian might have one. And then you go on to cut the flesh out and then literally you literally wait until he's standing there with this love of human flesh dripping in his hand going, do you think X got a pencil?
Jesus Christ. Yeah, but but. Surely I have a pencil? Do you know what you could have? Done. You know what you could have done? You could have just like, drawn it in blood on something. You didn't even need to carve the fucking Oh, I didn't take it with you. No, that's not AS. Fucked up Nothing is as fucked up as carving the gist out. It would have to have been in his blood just for like the bazaars, you know? Well, it's all irrelevant now, but it's you'll have that fucked up that's. My battle trophy.
I'm going to, I'm going to that smell that well, that's why I killed. It that was just Bell. That doesn't mean it don't. Stink. It's gusting and tanned. It's nice and leathery. Will you do it? Do you even have anywhere to put it? I'm going to attach some chains to it and then I'm going to wrap around my my body armour. So now. Where do you live it? Won't that get you in trouble? Isn't it like a bad thing the symbol on this thing? No, it'll be, it'll be a sign. It's like an omen. If you have this, this is what I'm going to do.
I'm going. I collect, I I will collect your mark, your tattoo. It kind of looks like you're just fashioning a new garment out of it 'cause you really like the pattern. Oh my God, he's Leatherface. Fuck. Yeah, I don't like where this is. Going Who are you? I am Belisarius crawl. Who? Belisarius, you're. Belisarius Crawl is a character from 40K. He has a cloak made out of human skin. Fuck. That's a statement, isn't it? Wow, sounds like he's up in the room. Oh mate, he's he's he's, he's his character.
I think we're all forgetting that Ribs Mum is literally a devil. Oh yeah, we. And Jack? Brought that, brought that in right at the end of the last, I mean. Carrying around a piece of flesh seems sudden Hindu. It's possibly my favourite line. You guys pretend to be a fucking hero. I'm a Grassley going so hard, yeah. Bell's like in shock because I'm a demigod. You're an actual demigod like you are an actual hero. Why are you not behaving like what but? I make. Have you ever read Greek mythology? No.
They are messed up people, they are. I watched the documentary about Spartans to fall asleep to last night, does that count? OK. No, no, no. Maybe a little bit, I don't know. The Greek. Yeah, right.
Not the silver pick. I I sat there and I was like, am I supposed to have told them that? Yeah, I don't think. It's. It was a good time to put it in. Sorry, not the silver pickaxe. He's going to be furious. He's talking about your six year old son. Yeah. It's going. To be furious.
He said it like he was AD and D thing. We had to be not the silver pickaxe. It's going to be furious. Can we talk about the fact that we played a quick session with your 6 year old son? Yeah, for the first time ever. Yeah. And he killed 2 bad guys like straight away while we were all floundering around trying to figure out what we were doing. Once you tell him the poison spray is essentially farting at people. Yeah, he's all there for it. Yeah. I feel like when as players who have played high level characters it is really hard to play a level 1, but when you start at level 1 as your first character and that's all you know, you learn as a level 1.
Yeah. Rather than going in at level 7912. Where are we going? You guys are all like, you could do this, why you do that? You should try this. And I'm like, hang on a minute, because I'm still getting my head around the fact that I could use like. Quite a hard thing to start with. Because. You're like and as a because as a challenge, your subclass has a really good thing. I can't remember what it is, but you can basically like give everyone temporary HP or something. If you're biassing inspiration, it's like amazing, which you don't.
Do you have? 1000 you have so. Many. Spells and abilities and actions you can do and it's always I stab them with my knife but I don't have a modifier for does 1D4 damage. It's like. I'm learning, that's the whole point. You're. Learning because you're still doing the same. Stupid well, and when we do remind you that you have spells that do damage, then we'll do more damage than knife. You're like OK cool, but you burn your spells on strip. I don't know. I am if you strip for ages. Clutch with Tashish Hideous Laughter a few times.
That yeah, I got. Yeah, they're fucking infuriating. Once they're prone, that's. Because you've been fighting exclusively like fishmen and just bandits and stuff. They've all got absolute dog shit stats. So it's like, oh, I only have the role of 12 to get up. That's another six. Fucking amazing. The the fight with the dragon or not with the dragon, but in the dragon lair, the guy that ends up on the floor was just he could have been so much worse and did nothing. The fucking fish cult guy. Oh, like the priest.
The priest was literally his whole deal was going to be like trying to sacrifice the kids and you'd have to stop them. And like it wasn't going to be super killing the Prince in episode 5 or whatever wild, but like the goal was going to be stop the Fishman killing these children and he just lay on the floor laughing the entire side. Watch yourself because then it gives off some advantage. Because he's pro, Yeah. Oh. Yeah, I have been fucking up. I didn't really because I think they're supposed to roll after every time they take damage and stuff like that, but now that I know that, they still roll sixes every time.
The ADHD Ness of you and Carl right now, both of you. I've watched now doing exactly what you're doing in your chair. These chairs are amazing. I I wasn't convinced when we bought. Them don't you fucking start where? Are you going? Oh no, she's really excited. She's very excited about something. She bought her little her little spoiling thing. What? Her little ADHD fidgets. OK because of my ADHD I always bring things. To. Fiddles. Oh no. Don't fiddle with the ties, Alex. No, no, no, no. No, no. So I've got the weird thing that you kept packing up last session, right?
Yeah, little car in there. Little Hot Wheels. Oh wow. That's sick. I got my hot 1's car. Pontiac what is that? You bitch. She's just coming a bit. She doesn't. Fold up properly otherwise. It does. And then I've got got my little, I think. We should let the dog. Eventualize now he. Keeps jumping. Up at the door, come back from it. As hot as the dice, actually. Oh wow, it's really heavy. Yeah, it's a stone. Dice Stone. That's fucking sick. That's slightly see through as well. Look at that. Well, cool.
Anyway, we're distracted.
And I just wanted to show everyone my car. I also have my cleric spell cards with me. I am a pink Lantern. Great. I just thought I'd let you know. You're a lot of things. Anyway, who has any questions, theories to deposit? I yeah, I, I was talking to you on the way back from last session. Yes. And I was like, I don't know if I I'm acting like my sister's evil, but. You don't actually. Know I don't actually know if she is. She gives me bad vibes the way she speaks to me but also she is my sister.
Yeah, she's your your sibling rivals. Yeah, I mean, she's definitely going to be evil. Let's face it. Come on guys. Sister. You're just. Skying. She couldn't have been his advisor. She would have been a better advisor than that fuck. No, she fucking wouldn't have. Fixed I To be fair, I deliberately made the advisors like bad options because to have like I intended to put Shiv there anyway just to fuck with you, but but just. Dragged as I was like what the fuck are you doing here? But then I knew that I wanted to make it possible for her to be picked regardless.
So Brad, Chad and Chester were the obvious go to's. But I didn't want to hat like pick two of them and have one left on the side. That would have been sad. So I pick picked one or got you guys to roll the dice to pick one of them. And then probably awful guy that would have been is just a dish. So did you expect us to pick Chad? No, to be I I genuinely at one point thought you were going to go with Schiff because although you clearly hate her or are terrified of her or whatever, she was at least competent.
Yeah, she was the only one there who was like, I'm not the only one who's a fucking sycophant. I'm actually good at magic. We we came to the conclusion in the session that we didn't have to pick out of these three. Yeah. So I don't know why we did I. Don't care that we did, I'm really happy. I, I, we. We. I really. Really. Brad, Chad. Chester, Brad, Chad. Chester, Brad. Chester, Brad. Chester. We have an understanding. Yes, I really did not. Like it because they're gonna kill off Chad and I don't like it I won't let it happen we're.
Not gonna kill. Anymore lies I I do quite enjoy coming up with all these properly farcical situations. So like just the world law is insane and then watching you guys go for fucks sake. It should have been done in a more official setting. It should have been like that forum, you know? Blind date theme tune on the piano. I just want to go to that club, find the dragon. Yeah, you do. Yeah, fucking. I want to have a nice long conversation with pancreatitis. So you as. Fun as my thing. Going it'll probably be more fun for me, though me getting to do some exposition this pancreatitis will be probably more fun for me than having to begin to be a tracking lady going on a date with Ruth.
Thank you. I'm so glad you'll say yes.
Yeah. Your current course of action is do finish up and end this and then make your way back to and then, yeah. Can we walk back? Yes, yeah. So what Priya must said was that, you know, basically be adventurers for a bit so that people know what the Prince is about. Yeah, this is what I was talking about. We didn't technically kidnap him because he did have to go and. But he would have gone under guard and it would have been a like a big public event. Everyone would have known and they would have been like, cheering him along the way.
What we did is we kidnapped him in the night. I feel that maybe the way we did it was a much more better way to do it because now he has to do it on his own. But he's not on his own, is he? If we had left it alone, that's it, He would be with his advisors. We wouldn't have to be around him anymore. But I'm also kind of attached to him. My life has these two bickering like this. That's. Why is the conversational bit? I'm kind, but it's wrong. You shouldn't be attached to him. He's my.
Son. Are you going to marry him? Ad Lib story time. Oh my God, no. Marry Dragon lady the Prince Chad, who also comes with a kid.
Yeah, but I'm a dragon. At least you could like, ride me or something. Because we are.
It's not even lunchtime. I can't. I can't. Is it? It must be really difficult for you in this, especially in this campaign, considering that the first time we did this, I assure A lusted hard half of the Prince. Yeah, it's weird. So we. Well, my training campaign, I just spent the whole thing trying to kill the Prince. Yeah, this whole thing is kind of based on a series of notes I started about 10 fucking years ago, and we've played through a bit of a bit of this campaign already. Nothing. Like this yeah, it has changed the whole point of the game I. Also missed 99.9% of that because I was sick.
But yeah, it is interesting because I I've started this with another Group A long again a long, long time ago and everyone ends up with everyone falls in love with like a frags. But that was intentional. She's a hot dragon lady who was like lagging from Vikings obviously. Yeah. Who's not going to love her? But there's always a weird split in the pie. It doesn't matter if I've got two players or five players or what. It's always this weird split of absolutely love the Prince and absolutely hate the Prince Insurance Case Car's character.
In the other version of this, she's absolutely in love with the Prince. I'm assuming that the Prince is significantly older in that campaign. He is now. He yeah. When we when we last saw him, he had like there was a overtime time jump and he had aged up a bit. He's actually had his puberty and he's like, he's a lot more competent. He's not He's. Actually had his puberty. You know, he's not he's not like voice breaking on the cusp of with the with the acne like he's. One day. He's aged out of. It one day this Prince might get to be like that as well.
Know if I can help but no I I. That. Sounded predatory. My God, I meant she. She likes him as a pre. Pubescent boy? No, I meant he's not. He's not going to make it to puberty because he's going to be dead. Before then. Oh, so you do hate the friends? No, I just don't think he's capable. She's. Giving herself a lay hair. She's so many opinions. About everything. I think he's going to kill himself. Well, yeah. Yeah, look who. Look who he has as as his advisor. Brad Chad of Chester. Yeah, I love your own confidence.
You're gonna kill him. Bell's always been a bit of a mitty prick. Yeah, he has. He has a he has a bit of a trip on his shoulder, but that's OK. That's fine. It's. Fine, it's just there for a good time. Yeah, right. Don't worry about it, I'll never give you. Up I. Feel like it's got a lot more coming and I'm excited to know what it is, yeah. So so here's here's an interest in like time for the adventure that we have been on so far as as characters. How do you What's your thoughts and feelings on the party?
You need a name for a start team. Team nap time is acceptable. I suppose that's what we're going with. But Alex is saved on my phone as Alex. Team nap time just be saved as Alex. Graham It doesn't work anymore. God for. That breathe, Britt. No, Bree. What did you say? Cheese. Bree be all right. Bree or Bright? As in the. Cheese, belt, rib, egg. Tea should be cheese. I can't be called a cheese. I'm lactose intolerant. I'm joking. I'm. Really. Rib's lactose intolerant rib. Rib. Team rib team. About just team.
I mean it Grassley in the nap time is fine. It Grassley in the nap time fan. Is what I've introduced you as in episode 16, but. I kind of love it. Grassley in the nap time band. Yeah. I mean, I agree that making some kind of acronym is fine because there's a lot of acronyms in this. I do feel like the party is still quite disjointed, like there's nothing we don't like. We're we're, we're people who are working together, but there's not like anything that's like things because Bell, bell. Bell's miserable.
You've got your fucking guard up and it, Yeah. Yeah, no, yeah. Girl goes forward, tries to kill people, misses every single fucking swing. And it gets down. You know, it actually stands at her back telling 1 liners and not doing anything helpful, you know? When Harry Potter, when Ron just absolutely has a fuck enough and storms off during the Deathly Hallow, it's like fuck you guys and do this is where I'm gonna get 2 of you guys because you're both so like miserable and not willing to play X game and X. It's gonna be like fuck you guys.
I can do this on my own. It can. Rib sort of have their we have. Like some fun? Yeah. Yeah. And then Rib and Bell definitely have like a mutual understanding. Me and Bell have Bell. And ick, that's the side of the triangle that's missing. It's just they don't. Like. We like. Bell's big question is like, do you guys actually like under like as Riff and Ick? Do you actually understand the magnitude of the events that we are currently like find ourselves? In think so. I think does like has, has not.
Crossed you that this guy is actually going to lead a fucking country. No, I don't think. Either of us can envision him in that role, we don't think. In my head, he's like 6 years old, yeah. I think in the last episode you might have said something along the lines of the King's only been dead for a week. You guys are being super disrespectful in case the kid has a slow. Morning of. This kid, he's got a dumb voice you guys just completely don't understand. Like he's like the gravity of the situation.
I I. He's like a child to me. Here's my problem. I don't think I've come across anything that's made me go, Oh no, we're in trouble. It's not that we're in. It's like, it's like your sounds light and so brevity and just be like, yeah, no, it's fine. You can come with us forever and always. Yeah. There's a point where he has going. He's got to step up on his own and prove himself as like a leader and a king. Yeah, anyway. He can't do that with us. He's. Fucking he's back in his little pallets. He's fine.
Then go. Then I'll go and visit. Him. I honestly don't know how me like how Ecken River got so fucking invested in the Prince. I'll go visit him on. Sunday storytelling. That's how like we can discuss. What were you doing before you got on the boat? Yeah, I was. On top. Yeah. Like Sarah? No, I the boat left like Sarah you. Could be like Sarah. That's a long time again. OK, so try to catch me out. The dog's having a sunbathe. It's very cute. He's all right. I was lying down earlier. He was just sat at the like, just on the corner of the garden, just sat staring at the fence like there are dogs on the upside of that fence.
It's so depressing. In fairness, just because I'm not taking the Prince seriously doesn't mean I'm not taking his uncle seriously. Why? He's a good leader. He's not a good. Leader. He's a great leader. He's he's absolutely corrupt. Doesn't he? Doesn't what? He's not corrupt. There's no proof. There's no there's no proof of this accusation that Angrutite is just corrupt. I would, I would like to, you know, the Prince, I whatever. No, the Prince. The Prince is a non issue for me, right? The uncle, The uncle on the other hand, No, he needs to die.
You're being Reededonculus. I'm good. Shut up. She got stuck in a loop the other day on Kyle's birthday. She was trying to say Reededy Donkulus, but she was like ree ree ree Reedy. Yeah, say it. Just one. Come on girl, read Ditty Donkulous. Re did the redid the donkey? Hey. Now say that three times this. Episode I'm not. Going to do.
That. Let's see if he gets his last name right. It's not a joke at this point. Or have you just still not learned? I honestly can't tell. I mean, the last time you got my first name? Yeah.
Are you dreaming or something? Yeah. I decided to mix it up. I still got a dice. It was like, yes, yeah, yeah. And now I know the loophole. I didn't sort of work it out. OK, like I said, this is every episode 100 times. So I did eventually work it out. That's good. I was my episode. Switch things up a bit, right? So I'm just. Going to randomise it. We should wrap this one up so that we can. We should wrap this one. I just wanted to house getting closer and closer to the garden. I've just remembered.
Something and you can't cope with that nicotine. Just remembered something so before we sign off I was at my friend's house, Shorty's house, playing actual DVD noise. Just slipped out of me. Actually playing proper DD, he was fucking sick. He spends shit loads of time and money making all minis and 3D printing them and stuff. And it's just, it's amazing. Yeah, it's all of my best friends. We're all playing this game together and we're like seven years into this campaign or something absolutely fucking insane like that, and we're in this like dungeon and we get absolutely fucked up by these skeleton things.
And I was dead. Richard was dead. Jeffrey was just about a lie. Richard got popped back up like a hit point or something insane like that. We like, backed ourselves into a corner. He cast a darkness spell. It was so we're all in darkness so they can't attack us with spells. And then I got polymorphed into AT Rex, so out of the darkness as fucking D roots comes out. Just destroys all these skeletons. Anyway, sorry, that wasn't what I was going to do. While we were doing that, shortly took a photo of me and sent it to ChatGPT to analyse the photo and describe me and we'll sign off with this AI's description of me.
This man looks like he just stumbled out of a 12 hour Dungeons and Dragons session and into a kitchen he may or may not actually live in. His shirt is giving strong. I was once white, but I've seen things. Energy with sleeves that say baseball and a torso that screams basement.
He's holding that glass like he's about to deliver a Shakespearean monologue. And why there are no clean forks in the drawer. The hair. This is my favourite thing. The hair. Windswept, possibly by a fan that's only set to regret.
You salty bitch. My. God makes it hard to tell if he's about to explain his startup idea or ask if you want to split a kebab and that pose leanly like a man who's either very chill or hiding the fact that the wall is the only thing keeping him vertical after 4 sizes. There's no point to that. I just, I fucking loved it. I the last time I talked Shorty, I said, Oh my God, you've changed so much because I haven't seen him in like 10-15 years and he was like, you haven't, you're still hideous. But that makes me feel a little bit better about myself.
Yeah, you think you think that would be an eye opener, but it's not. I feel like you might. Be just exactly the same as you were then. It's so far off. Yes, with the tracksuit bottoms With a hole in the shin. Where's fucking dog ate a hole in my shin of my trousers while I was playing DND Fucking as a puppy. His dog. It destroyed my shoes. That's why there's no toe in that one. Is that another spaniel? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's absolutely yeah. There is a spaniel. 'S a. Dick 6 inch hole in the shin of my tracksuit bottoms the highway without me noticing somehow because I was invested.
In the game, Carl's lost just about every single sock he owns to our puppy, the Spandeals especially. Like yeah, hard work. And things. Anyway, we'll wrap that up now. There's a few bits I need to edit out. Just a few, but yes. But for karma's sake, shortest hideous too. That'll be my little clip at the end, I'll tell you that anyway. He's never had a nice thing to say to me so. Thank you everybody for listening to this. I don't know whether to make this a mainline episode or like drop it in in the middle of the week or whatever, but whatever.
Yeah, usual shit. 6 or 9. Dndgmail.com like rate, subscribe, send us comments on Spotify questions. I got an e-mail from Spotify the other day saying that they've changed up how comments work so that we can actually respond to them properly. Amazing. And stuff like that. So if anyone sends us comments, I will respond, send us emails, send us questions. Like I say, every now and again, we'll probably do one of these just to do some engagement.
It's so much more distracting when you slide away really slowly. If you just got up and be like, oh, she's going to get a drink or something this slow. Vapour. She just doesn't want to listen to the outro. Amazing. What the fuck? You're back outside. You just sacrificed your place at this table. I drove us here, so I hope you're ready for the walk. Home. We'll.
See you in the next. Episode See you soon. Bye. Oh right, my charity thing. Do the charity thing. Link in the show. Bye. Bye bye that was that job was for a pet sitter for 160K. To be fair. Damn. I know do. It I'm sorry, what? The hell? What kind of pet is it? Yeah.
Fucking Tiger, what's going? On yeah, that is insane. Re did the redid the donkey?
