1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to Stefan never told you a protection of iHeartRadio,

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: and welcome to another happy hour. As always, if you

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: do choose to drink or whatever you're choosing to do,

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: do so responsibly. What are you sipping on, Samantha.

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Water, Yeah, we're just some merths Korean.

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: I am drinking my wine from a box. I've gotten tired.

8
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: I like the wine from the box is already sad

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: kind of But then you had to add emphasis with

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: like the box.

11
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, I don't.

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: I don't generate a lot of trash, which is good.

13
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: But if I was like drinking like a bottle of wine,

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: I think that would add up glasses and it's not

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: what I need in my life, especially after I had

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: my well my poorly thought out excuse me, the idea

17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: of making candles out of wine bottles terrible. I had

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: sixty wine bottles. I had to throw them all out

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: because I was like, this is a horrible.

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Idea, just like I want to do this.

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: I was like, you are, okay, that's a definite cut

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: to your sitcom.

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: No, you're not going to do so clumsy?

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, Also I wanted to I forgot

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: to say this in a recent Monday Minni, but thanks

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: to everybody who sent me messages about I talked about

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: the coming out when we did our audio book in

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: front of.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: Like strangers in person ish also.

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: But more they could react, and a lot of you

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: sent in like some resources, just like a nice note,

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: So thank you.

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: I really appreciate it.

34
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Today we're doing kind of a fun I think it's

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: fun D and D update. Hey, yes, Dungeons and Dragons

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: in case anyone doesn't know. Somehow we had taken kind

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: of a hiatus because one of the members had a kid,

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: and then just I mean, if you've ever seen any

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: meme about Dungeons and Dragons, it is the scheduling demon,

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: Like you cannot get five people to schedule something together.

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: So I think it had been several months, and at

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: this point we've been playing for two years. I've had

43
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: this idea for seven years. But they're coming to the

44
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: end of the campaign. So last week we finally it

45
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: was two weeks ago we finally met up after this hiatus,

46
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: and then we met again the next week and it

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: was really really fun. Uh, it was cool seeing everybody.

48
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: I was really anxious I've just been having a lot

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: of anxiety lately. I need to like center myself and

50
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: stretch or something. I don't know, but I've had that. Yes,

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: maybe that too, but I hadn't done it in so long,

52
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: and I was worried about you know, not only am

53
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: I rusty, but also we are coming to the end

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: and I want it to be kind of a satisfying ending.

55
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: But on top of that, I was going to be

56
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: most of the time we play, I'm kind of the

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: background characters who you talk to for like, I don't know,

58
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: two minutes and then you move on, like not a

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: main character. But this was I knew it was going

60
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: to be like me a lot of it performing and

61
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: it is really exhausting, and you have to be like

62
00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: quote on good at like improv. So the plot of this,

63
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: I know I've explained it before, but essentially it's Star

64
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: Wars and they're going to like Tatsuoine and they're going

65
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: to Hoff, They're going to like all these places and

66
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: they have to get these they have to collect these crystals,

67
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: kind of like Thanos. It's a nerdy campaign, like it's

68
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: d D and the nerdier so and there it's a

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: very nerdy group I'm playing with. So I felt like,

70
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: you know this is a good fit. Yes, yes, but

71
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 2: basically they got to collect these crystals to save the world.

72
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: But it turns out they keep getting these hints that

73
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: like something is a miss or like something maybe they

74
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing this, like it's a bad thing, and

75
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: as you know, Peaches isa no.

76
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: Okay, But there was a character.

77
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: There's a character based on Samantha's dog, Peaches, who has

78
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: a bunch of cousins cho brings chaos, but very sweet,

79
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: unintentional chaos. But I did toy with the idea of

80
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: making Peaches be the like puppetmaster. Oh that is not

81
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. I think you kind of talked

82
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: me out of it.

83
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: You were like, no, Peaches.

84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: I felt back and forth because I get reports, uh,

85
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: friend of the show bit was like, I'm very weary

86
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: of Peaches now because of this campaign. I was like,

87
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 4: oh no, maybe waited to backtrack. But then at the

88
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: same time, she is kind of a jerk in real life.

89
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: Peaches did come up at this last campaign in the

90
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: last session, and I believe it was Dylan, who is

91
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: like one of the nicest people. He was a former

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: producer of this show. He said, Peaches has a larger

93
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: than life personality.

94
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: In real life about your talk, and.

95
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: She's yes, larger than life person that's such a like

96
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: Dylan nice way.

97
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: They like, she's a lot.

98
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: I loved it though. It was so good.

99
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: So also, while all of this is going on, I

100
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: am I feel like maybe I'm being too dismissive of this.

101
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: But you've seen this too, and you've given me some

102
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 2: really great gifts around it. I draw the maps hand drawn,

103
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: and I'm not a great illustrator, so like they get

104
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: the point across. I think they're really cute. But it

105
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: does look like maybe somebody in third grade drew this map.

106
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: So maybe I'll take some pictures and post them.

107
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: I think they're really good.

108
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to make it sound like I don't

109
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: think that they are good, but I guess that's just

110
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: not where skill set is drawing. I'm never been good

111
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: at it, never, But anyway, I have a friend Katie

112
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: who's been on the show. She is really good and

113
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: she mischievous friend that she is. I had been drawing

114
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: like the world map, and I left the room for

115
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: a second. When I came back, she had drawn something

116
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: called poop Island.

117
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: On it, and I.

118
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: Couldn't really erase it, and I decided it said poop Island,

119
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: this is where the DM lives, the dmbing me the

120
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: dungeon Master game Master. So I decided to just leave

121
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: it there and be kind of a funny thing at

122
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: a story I could tell and we'll move on. But

123
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: then Lauren, who also a friend also my co host

124
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: on Saver, she always says, never give the DM ideas,

125
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: and I think early on, like the fourth time we

126
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: played together, she said, of this Star Wars based campaign,

127
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: here's hoping we don't run into George Lucas. And then

128
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: I knew who lived on poop Island. Who was the DM.

129
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: It was George Lucas, although I called him Gil Gil.

130
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: Why Gil just I don't know g l Gil. But

131
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: he was basically like.

132
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: Luke Skywalker from Last Jedi, and poop Island looked like Octo,

133
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: which is where he was. And he was real sad

134
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: that his creation had gotten away from him because it's

135
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: a whole multiverse thing, which by the way, I did

136
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: write this seven years ago.

137
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: I know it's really in right.

138
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Now, but just to be clear, uh, But and he

139
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: had accidentally created like this alternate version of himself that

140
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: was destroying all the realities and was going to destroy

141
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: this one and he was too tired to do anything.

142
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: And I was so tired when I did it, because

143
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: it was after our audiobook session. I will start crying.

144
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, so dared, and I got.

145
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: Really into it and everyone was like, oh my god,

146
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: George Luca, so you're okay. But I channeled it a lot,

147
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: and that was what I was nervous about, because it

148
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: can be, even as we've talked about this, even as

149
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: someone who performs a bit for work and I do

150
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: like it and I like acting and stuff, it can

151
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: be when you're like channeling it and everyone's looking at

152
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: you and waiting for you, it stresses me out.

153
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: And I was very, very stressed out.

154
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: And I'm having this big character moment of like trying

155
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: to sell the idea that this guy is so sad

156
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: and depressed and lonely that he won't do anything.

157
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: And I really did channel it.

158
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 5: I really did.

159
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 3: It was funny. They were off.

160
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: They were like, we could there's hope, there's still hope

161
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: we could do.

162
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: Something about this, and I was like, I don't know.

163
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: But it was very like because them as players, they've

164
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: been great, They've done great role play. Some of them

165
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: have been brought to tears. I have never done that

166
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: as a player. I don't think I've ever done that ever.

167
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: But I let it. I've not really let it. It

168
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: just happened this time. And I think it was because

169
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: I was so tired. Yeah, I mean we had just

170
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: done that audiobook and I was like, oh, go ah, here.

171
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: We go, we come.

172
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: But I did have one of my most hilarious nerd

173
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: checks I've ever had in my life because a lot

174
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: of this is, like I said, very nerdy, a lot

175
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: of really bad Star Wars poms. I cannot stress enough.

176
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: Like it is so like. There's somebody called Snowby One

177
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: Kenobi like this level of bad. There's a silo kin like,

178
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: it's not I'm not trying to hide any of this.

179
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: It's Snowby One. Is it Snowy Yes, Snowby.

180
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: One lives in the Snowy Caves. There's a shit.

181
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm on top of all the all the pun parts.

182
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: There's a himbo oh anyway, there's also a Lea's characters

183
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: named Kre and Dylan did not get until this time,

184
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: but it's Carrie Fisher.

185
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: I didn't get it either. I'm just sit here thinking

186
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: about it, like.

187
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: What, No, that one wasn't.

188
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: That's like one of my less on the nose ones

189
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: because it's also based on a name Karre, which is

190
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: it means everything turns to dust and it's fine, which

191
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: I was always like, Wow, that's pretty metal.

192
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I like that.

193
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's from my book of Lost Words.

194
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: It's it's the lost word. But it really struck me

195
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: when I read it, so that one is less like

196
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: on the nose, But it was funny to me that

197
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: Dylan was like, oh, but okay. So the like main

198
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: big bad is his name is Reeve. And I was

199
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: kind of joking with them and I was like, oh,

200
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm so original, just like Sheve, you know.

201
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 3: And they were like she, and I was like she.

202
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: And they had no idea who I was talking about.

203
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: It was like, I still don't Chief Palpatine, that's his

204
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: first name, the emperor, And they had no idea and.

205
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: Like, I get you not knowing, but like I said,

206
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: they're pretty nerdy.

207
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: And this was one of my biggest like oh wow,

208
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: I've gone in deep.

209
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: None of you know who she is.

210
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: Right, I will say so, like when we did the

211
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: viewing at the plaza, Uh huh, how many did you

212
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: get wrong?

213
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: I count a lot.

214
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: I was but.

215
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: I do get that this is not this is not

216
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: this is actually really sad. Not sad, but it's not healthy.

217
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: My refrigerator had been broken. I hadn't had anything to

218
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: eat for thirty six hours. What and yeah, and were

219
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: planning on getting dinner.

220
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

221
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: So I was counting on the dinner and then we

222
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: didn't get it until I was out of it.

223
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

224
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: No.

225
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: It was also very loud and like you could barely

226
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: hear it.

227
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: Turns out one of my friends was there, and one

228
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: one of the I think the heads and figure outas

229
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: I didn't know it was he. I didn't even know

230
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: she was there until later. She's like, yeah, I won this,

231
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: didn't you see me? I was like, no, it was

232
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: pretty chaotic. It was pretty chaotic, but a great time. No.

233
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: The next day I was like, obviously that was the answer,

234
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: but I needed some food.

235
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

236
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you live and you'll learn. But anyway, Yes, his

237
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: name is she Palpatine. And now they all know and

238
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: now we're just sending Palpatine gifts back and forth, which

239
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: I love. But also it's so fun because it's really collaborative.

240
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: And so there's a character who was based on I

241
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: wouldn't say based on me, but it was based on

242
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: the It was named after my old fan fiction name,

243
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: which was August Wind.

244
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: It was a new one.

245
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: Oh never, you'll figure out one day.

246
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: But no, August Wind was getting married to this guy

247
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: named e Cubed and our friend Marissa wrote fan fiction

248
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: because she was a fan fiction writer in this world

249
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: for me to read at the wedding.

250
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: But then she tragically was assassinated.

251
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: You killed off your own friend?

252
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: Does she know this?

253
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: No, No, August Wind was assassinated. Oh, Messa wrote the

254
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: fan fiction that August Wind read because I do reach

255
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: out to my friends for this, and I kind of,

256
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: you know, just moved on. August Wind's too bad. They

257
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: bought up August Wind to George Lucas and was like,

258
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: listen this August Wynn had ideas maybe you should look

259
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: there for how can save the world. And now I

260
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: hope none of them are listening, but I like the

261
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: idea of fan fiction.

262
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, like they.

263
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Go, this scheme is could never end.

264
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: It will but it's like it's in the final fourth,

265
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: and that final fourth could take forever.

266
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Right, because like, how long have you been playing right now?

267
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: Years?

268
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know part of that was pandemic, but

269
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: y'all are online at one boy, like y'all are doing

270
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 4: it through.

271
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we usually, I mean we play like once

272
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: a month.

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: But they were pretty huge Hiaticism, which I think was

274
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: the last almost like five to six months.

275
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

276
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: I always could kid them about this, and I mean

277
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: it sincerely, I'm not mad about it. But they will

278
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: take what I assume is going to take maybe an

279
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: hour and turn it into six hours, like it's amazing.

280
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: But they want to talk to the ShopKeep and then

281
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: they want to haggle with the shopkeeper, and then they're

282
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: convinced the shopkeeper isn't he's lying to them, So I

283
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: got a steal from the shop Like it's just I

284
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: love it, but it has That's why I'm like, we're

285
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: in the final stretch.

286
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: Who knows how long that could take?

287
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Never end, But they're like that they met, they got

288
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: the last They're like infinity stones essentially, so they're done

289
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: with that part. They just have to confront the guy

290
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: and they need to save Cinnamon roll who that is

291
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: his name? I told you spot On, I'll be sad

292
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: when it's over. I haven't played. I haven't played as

293
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: a character at least seven years.

294
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

295
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: I like dming, but it is a lot of work,

296
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: and part of that is me like, you can't, Like

297
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: I've said before, you can. There are campaigns online you

298
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: can use that are free. A lot of them are.

299
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: You have to pay for it.

300
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: But uh, And I just wanted to bring this up

301
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: because I mentioned it recently. We did have a discussion

302
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: about career Day at this because a lot of times

303
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: it kind of you know, you talk while we're eating

304
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: pizza before we start playing, and we all had a

305
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: very like gendered story of career day and so I

306
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: want to come back and talk about it. But someone

307
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: said they like got sent to the office kind of

308
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: for being rude. But the principal told her because she

309
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: addressed as a writer for career Day that writers look

310
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: like old white men. I had one where it was split,

311
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: so the girls went to it was a hairdresser and

312
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: a flight attendant, and then the guys went to it

313
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: was like a pilot, a doctor, a lawyer. But everybody

314
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: had a story like this, and so I need we

315
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: need to come back and talk about career day.

316
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: I don't really had career day because I don't remember

317
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: any of those, but I don't feel like none of

318
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 4: those or an option we did have, like what home

319
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: mech was for women obviously, and then like FFA or

320
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: was for men right of farmers, but like we didn't

321
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: have I don't think we had career days.

322
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it.

323
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had too.

324
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 2: We had one in middle school and one in high school,

325
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: and both of them were traumatizing in their own ways. Yeah,

326
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: Like the middle school one was the one where they

327
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: were like, here's a worksheet of your body, women, and

328
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna have periods and you're gonna have a baby,

329
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: and oh my god, we had to watch.

330
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: The whole Miracle of Life.

331
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we had to watch that too, Oh my gosh.

332
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: And then in high school it was much more you're

333
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: never gonna make enough money to have the life you want.

334
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: That was much more the vibe a career day, which

335
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: I guess al right, but yeah, that's just my messy

336
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: updates on Dungeons Andons.

337
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: I hope you enjoyed it.

338
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes I hear from other people who play or some

339
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: parts people just ask me, like, what's going on in there?

340
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 5: Right?

341
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: I love it, so I will be back.

342
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

343
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see how it ends, because, like

344
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: I've written, I have the general idea, but again, this

345
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: fan fiction idea is gold, like I should put that

346
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: in there. So it does change based on what they do,

347
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: and it was cool to play, like essentially.

348
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: The very meta dm of I can't fix this for you.

349
