Ep. 33: The Crystal Kingdom - Chapter Five

"What mortal danger will our heroes not take seriously this week? Maybe they'll make some boner jokes at some skeletons! It's the Adventure Zone!"

Synopsis
Our heroes face a series of challenges while exploring Lucas' lab that are, admittedly, all pretty adorable. But still super deadly! Just, like, huggably deadly. Merle performs a random act of kindness. Taako remembers an acrobatic nursery rhyme. Magnus experiences the magic of flight.

Personal message from Zach Ayres who wants you to search for “Teenagers with Attitude” on iTunes, and subscribe or listen to their sampler by searching “Teenagers with Attitude Sampler” on YouTube. Now I know you’re sitting here wondering, “What is Teenagers with Attitude about? That just sounds like my whole life, when teens come up to me on the street and just fucking bully me right there on the street.” No this isn't about those teens who bully you on the street. It’s a podcast, and it’s about the Power Rangers. Specifically, a podcast in which a bunch of adults sit down each week to talk about the morphenominal nineties kids show, “Power Rangers”. Listen to them try to figure out what the deal is with the big floating head in the tube, why Rita Repulsa can never quite seem to stop foiling her own plans, and why Goldar the winged ape-man has such a strong labor union. Having just finished the Green Ranger saga, they’ve got 20 episodes down and 800 to go, so now’s a great time to jump in.

Check out “Friendship and Firelight” at fnfpod.com or wherever you download podcasts. “Friendship and Firelight” is a podcast where they invite you to take a rest from your journey and sit around their campfire. They tell stories, they have some laughs, and they discuss all things nerdy and great. D&D fans should check out episode three, where we talk about 5th edition, and episode six, where we talk about the Chaotic Neutral alignment. Also the show’s music is by MBMBAM favorite Ira Ray. (...are you Ira Ray?) Friendship and Firelight: the podcast where the quest is only as good as the companions by your side.

I wish I could use this excuse in real life
GRIFFIN: Hold on, I’ve got a truck passing.

TRAVIS: Like a fart?

GRIFFIN: No, like a truck.

JUSTIN: “I’ve got a truck passing” is a pretty good podcast slang for “I have to fart”.

===  Re: Klarg === CLINT: And we didn’t kill him or anything.

JUSTIN: Okay, he’s not dead.

CLINT (defensively): No, he’s not dead!

TRAVIS: No, Dad, this is us telling you, he’s not dead.

CLINT (defensively): Well I know he’s not dead!

JUSTIN: Okay, now listen, there are the two ways people say that someone’s not dead: (normally) “Oh, he’s not dead.” (defensively) “He’s not deeaad!”

TRAVIS: You’re falling into the last category, hard.

JUSTIN: He’s very much not dead, he’s very much alive.

CLINT: He’s not deeaad?

===  Nice try, Taako === TAAKO: No but yeah, it’s EMPTY.

MAGNUS: ...because I think I can hear fighting?

TAAKO: You don’t hear shit, there’s 8 inches of ice between us and the ice robots.

MAGNUS: There’s ice robots?

TAAKO: Son of a bitch.
