Short Rest: The Green Teen Quarantine

Death Stranding, aka Fetch Quests: The Game

David Lipscomb

Momento mori ☠️ any Unus Annus fans here? (I know I'm years late on this haha)

RuinedDruid

im listening to this out of order and went "OHHH NOW I get why they keep making frozen 2 olaf references in the short rests!" 😂

Megan

It's funny to hear almost 1 year later how naive we all were to think that till the summer this would all be over. How the current situation is running it is probably still a tear till everything gets back to normal. One year later and I still feel like Jake. Getting out bed, eating going to my desk and that's it. Although I think I lost my sanity a few months ago

Glenn Dhooge

Listening in July 2020...Jake talking about how this might last though the summer (7:03)...yeah....spoilers. *cry* Stay sane, folks. We'll get through this somehow.

Lopiena

So... I’m a few weeks behind... but I came here to say that I live in Austin, am a real- life anthropologist, and have met Adriene a few times at Fair Market. 😗

Sam Killjoy

Hey in Frozen 2 it is implied that Olaf's mortality is tied to that of Elsa's. When Elsa's power is subdued in Ahtohallan, Olaf realizes that Elsa is failing because he can feel himself dying. So there will be a time in the future when Olaf will have to come to face his own death as he sees Elsa's health slowly decline. Elsa would of course understand this fact by the end of Frozen 2; so she may quest to establish a independent source of power for Olaf in order to untether their lives. That would be great motivation for Frozen 3!

Gabriel Wykle

I bet she plays D&D, I wouldn’t be surprised if she has guys....do it lol

Jesymka

This would be a dream to visit the archives and see her papers

JR Lonergan

The entire series is so good but there is something about that first one...

JR Lonergan

Also check out the Dark Sun D&D books....loosely based on the Dune saga. One of my favorite settings.

JR Lonergan

I’m late listening to this short rest. I LOVE Adriene. This would be a combo of my 2 favourite quarantine programs!!!!

Just listened to this.......I am both an archaeology student and a big fan of Yoga with Adrienne, I felt very appreciated

Alexis Rausch

My research lab shut down last week and this girl in another group has lab plants, and they shut down before us, so I frantically added her on Facebook and was like “YO your plants are gonna die is it cool if I take them home” so now I have two new visiting balcony plants that are enjoying some fresh air. ☺️

Little late, but you should check out the show "Taskmaster". It's a british show, and episodes are being released one/week on youtube. It involves a group of comedians being given odd tasks to complete, and then being graded on it by another comedian.

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference” and know it’s not a bible verse it’s just a saying

Debra Wasson

Caldwell i LOVED Return Of The Obra Dinn!!

Amanda Hellas

Hey Jake, as someone also struggling with the anxiety of living in NYC right now, I feel your pain. I want to second the message above about reaching out to friends that may work in the healthcare field. There are definite was to help. I also want to say that you guys are already doing a lot to help this community. This short rest was one of the first times I felt like I could exhale and genuinely laugh since starting stricter social-distancing – I didn’t know how much I needed that. So, thank you all! Stay safe and stay healthy!

Griffin Hartmann

YES get Adriene on the pod!!

You should not have talked shit about Avatar. It’s roasting time.

This is absolutely 100% correct and good

Princess Fartfeathers

Hey! Late listen and a fairly somber comment in the midst of the big Frozen II spoiler controversy but Jake I have been feeling the exact same way lately. Fear and despair about how life will never be the same again, and a little bit of guilt for whenever I prioritize my own feelings. You're not alone! Chin up, Surefoot.

Nina Martinez

Hey y'all Switch owners should play Ultimate Chicken Horse. One of the best party games ever.

PaulMcGranite

Has anyone warned Emily and Caldwell about the dune adaptations curse yet?

Calyx Rose

Also I would like to legally note that Emily is the most wholesome Alien ever and she only deserves love and respect

Caoimhe

A very important question

Caoimhe

My friend just started listening to NADDPOD and he hasn’t met Balnor yet and I’m so excited for him. I wish I could remeet Balnor for the first time

Caoimhe

Big Question: which Fullmetal Alchemist series did Emily watch?

The Green Magus

For real you all have to read Frank Herbert’s Dune. One of the best sci-fi books of all time. I also LOVE the movie and although it was super weird for the time, Sting and Patrick Stewart are in it. There’s crazy blood floating lunatics and political intrigue over resources / drug control. Craziest shit ever. Much watch/ read. Also the psychedelic worm drugs (the spice) everyones fighting over makes time travel possible... so ... yeah it’s awesome.

Fma is dddooppee

Cassandra Cordova

I've watched brotherhood, and was considering a rewatch during this quarantine. Do you think it's worth watching the 2003 one instead or should I just do brotherhood again?

Stephen Lander

Season finale of Season 1 of Avatar is p dope but in general- once Azula shows up, things get better. Both in the series and in life.

tacticalgrandma

Return of the Obra Dinn is an incredible game!! True monkey's paw metaphor

Theodore Carraro

hey Hurwitz keep your head up you coy little jew! im obviously a jake and amir fan dont at me

Louis

Jake should get a PS4! It has built in streaming, so maybe he could do FF7 Remake playthrough for the Hardwon pre-gaming stream?

Jordan D. Johnson

The best songs in Frozen 2 were Show Yourself and Lost in the Woods.

Isn’t this an AA mantra? My therapist and I were talking about this the other day. I could be wrong! It’s 2am!

I Had Something For This

Murph I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THIS SLATHER! IF YOU DONT FINISH THAT FIRST SEASON YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND what it's all about!

Malik Griffin

I’m sorry to say it, but I’m @-ing Murph for that Avatar take!!!! Consider yourself @‘d, Brian!

Tommy McGlone

My work isn't shutting down, but we're in isolated tasks and so it's still a really lonely existence. Relistening to the podcast has been getting me through these strange times (and this latest episode made me laugh out loud to an empty room) ❤

Kate!

Shocked and disheartened by Murph's opinion of Avatar, I may have to cancel my pledge on principle

Kimberly Tevis

Lmao, I’m glad someone called them out on that!

foxyfungi

EMILY AND CALDWELL. Take LSD for the movie viewing. The Dune audio book is what sucked me in. SO GOOD!!!

foxyfungi

I forgot to give props to Murph for having the guts to state his true opinion of Avatar. It's wrong but it's his and his alone. Gotta push through and watch every episode to get to The Tales of Ba Sing Se (season 2 ep. 15). Feels for days.

Canid

Yoga with Adriene slaps!!

Jenna

What if Jill plays Shay and she keeps refusing Hardwon's advances.

Jake would love this game

I would think Jake already has a computer of some sort, so I recommend getting Return of the Obra Dinn on PC to begin with

BrassW

I do hope y'all are watching fma: brotherhood and not the 2003 fullmetal alchemist anime. Because except for the Soundtrack brotherhood is bettet since it's actually closer to the manga

Saru

Jake, if you get a switch, you should check out Ring Fit Adventure. It's right up your alley and would totally help with quarantine workouts!

Agree, here in Ireland the HSE actually have a volunteer page where you put in your qualifications, (If not healthcare realted you can still help with admin things or like website design to stop in formation pages from crashing etc), it's also helping people who have become unemployed due to the shut down to find some work. 💚 Even though I haven't been called to help out, it feels like I'm a little less useless in all this.

claire

Not gonna argue with that, Avatar is top drawer. but may I suggest Steven universe, there are no rough patches!

claire

Never gonna watch a yoga with adrienne video the same again. 🧘🏻‍♀️

claire

I can’t believe I didn’t read the description for the spoiler warning, unforgivable

Sawyer Rogers

Jake, get the switch so you can take it on the flights to and from LA when the quarantine ends. The portability is the best part!

Alex

Yup - when a Roman general came back from war with their spoils they would parade thru town but someone would be sitting behind them the whole time saying “memento Mori”

Rach

I love the idea of asking a semi famous yoga instructor to play Shay. “Hey uh could you please come on our podcast and neg us while we pretend to be other people?”

Pat Hughes

Also I also would love a PS4 for for Jake. I think I'd like that for him

D'ran Dana

Dune? Island? Yo Murph... Wtf man read Dune haha

D'ran Dana

Listen. ListenListenListenListen. Listen. Avatar is literally the best story ever told. I know that the 1st season is a rough start, but you have no idea. It's not just good. It's incredible. I would say watch episode 18, 19, and 20 and if you're still not interested then quit.

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

Jake, you can play the original Final Fantasy 7 on the Switch.

Thuận-Cody Tran

Hahahaha we need an episode with Adrienne, Jake and Emily would be too nervous and it would be so entertaining

I know you guys were goofing but if Adriene came on the show that would be the crossover of my life 🤩

Taylor Nagy

Damn that Frozen 2 spoiler 😂

Lunar Skirmisher .

Jake! If you like FF7 you should check out Kingdom Hearts! @Caldwell you should definitely get everyone onto Kingdom Heard- cause it’s 👌👌👌 😏 Thank you for posting!!!

Emily

Depending on your comfort zone Emily, I think a live music writing session would be so much fun!! Kinda like those games where each person writes a line for a story? Just tossing it out there.

Jannell

Persephone?

Jeremy Umpleby

Sorry to @ you guys but be prepared for the ffvii remake is only part one of an indeterminately long series; this one is probably going to just be midgar. It’s also only exclusive to ps4 for a year, so expect a switch port in 2021

Carmen Camellia

JAKE GET A PS4 SO YOU CAN ALSO PLAY GOD OF WAR, YOU PLAY AS A BADASS ACE WIELDING MUSCLE MAN FIGHTING NORSE GODS AND MONSTERS

Kevin Schleicher

I SAW frozen 2 and I completely forgot that olaf dies. I think I blocked it out

Marisa

Oh, and another insurance agent recommendation: the old radio show Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. It's like a normal private detective show, except the protagonist gets to charge everything to an expense account while solving murders.

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

I know! Sokka alone is worth the journey

Dave Johnson

You're a rockstar from Venus, Emily, and don't forget it!

Dave Johnson

Aerith getting stabbed is FF7's Jemma getting stabbed. Cloud should've used a luck point.

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Yoooo y’all mentioned Ursula K. LeGuin! I work at an archive, and we actually house all of her papers. Maybe, one day, when we’re free, y’all could do a show in Eugene, Oregon and visit the University Archives? Huh?? Yeah?? (But also, 10/10 would recommend some Korean dramas like Romance is a Bonus Book and Reply 1997)

Paige Kosa

I’m actually kinda angry. I was going to watch frozen 2 this weekend and Caldwell actually just spoiled it for me!!!

Mason McCauley

Just to clarify, it's one series with three games: The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, and Dreamfall Chapters.

Crankysister

Caldwell, I totally cried at that bit and not the cute cry big old ugly cry

Amy Driver

I have a recommendation for a series of fantasy videogames that features main characters with mundane background. It's The Longest Journey and Dreamfall series. The main character of TLJ is April Ryan who is an art student who learns that she can plane shift into a parallel world and Dreamfall, the sequel, has Zoe Castillo as the main character who was in school for bioneering, but dropped out due to depression. They are INCREDIBLE games with amazing plots and characters, and I don't know a single person outside of my family who knows about the games. Also, Jake, if you are like me and find it difficult to get into games because you get motion sickness, TLJ is a point and click PC game so it doesn't make you dizzy.

Crankysister

Hey! So not saying this is something you HAVE to do, but check in with your nurse and/or medical professional friends. See if there is anything you can do for them (ie; cook a dinner, bring them cleaning supplies, walk their dog, etc) because right now they’re putting in so many hours that some of them are barely home or when they are don’t have the energy to cook or clean. Just advice I’m passing along from my own nursing friends. If you do, make sure you’re hyper clean about things! I heard you guys talk about how you feel helpless but this is definitely something people *can* do as long as you’re responsible about it.

Adam Sutton

It's - God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. In Bahumia it would be - Chord, grant me the serenity to accept the chaos that may be, Pelor, grant me the courage to make changes for the better, and Melora, grant me the wisdom to be chill with the difference.

Grant Kenny

Jake, as an owner of all systems get a PS4 pro or PC Master race. I do main my Xbox one x but I do like playing with my buds. I see you loving naughty dog games. Make sure you check out middle-earth shadow of Mordor and shadow of war.

Canid

I legitimately always fought to get Cloud to date Barrett at the Gold Saucer.

Liz Ruifrok

That Olaf bit about yearning to know sickness is oddly reminiscent of Han-Tyumi by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard 🤔

this_side_of_the_blue

Anyone who isn't playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps during this quarantine is doing it wrong.

Cavan McGinsie

THE UNDERWEAR! I couldn't focus on the rest of the scene because of the underwear. She's obviously got a great body but those underwear are so unflattering. Thank you Moonshi...I mean....Emily, for validating me so hard.

Maisie Gomer

Emily thank you for mentioning the underwear, that scene has always bugged me, it was so freaking weird!

Murph, Book One of Avatar is for sure less exciting than the other two. Start with Book Two and things get wild.

Hope Chamberlin

I love this show but the fact that Murph doesn't like Avatar is starting to make me rethink my $5 for this patreon. Also Jake, get a PS4 and play Horizon and/or Last of Us. Probably the best games I have ever played

Evan Cordero

Also Jake, FF7 original is on Switch.

Connor Proudfoot

I got home from work to my gf halfway through Frozen 2 and I was so angry 😤😤

Lisquander

RETURN OF THE OBRA DINN IS ALSO ON PS4! AND IT IS AWESOME! JAKE, DO IT! DO IT! DO IIIIIT!

Connor Proudfoot

Jake doing a stream for the resident evil 2 remake would be great. I think Murph was pretty into the games and even think there were some 8bit book club episodes on RE

Also poe deadfire with turn-based mode is a big rec

Wasnt memento mori a Roman thing? Like to remind big legionnaire generals that theyre still only human amidst all of the glory of a victory? Somethin like that? 😂 I always remembered it as a token of humility

I watched the entirety of frozen 2 at work this morning so that I could listen to this episode without spoiling it

Murph I am formally requesting a Pillars of Eternity update. It’s my favorite RPG and my biggest inspiration as a DM. Hope you love it, starting my third playthrough of the third game now.

Ben Delahay

Fucking hell I was going watch Frozen 2 this weekend with my crush and now I have to CANCEL

preston packer

I’m no Yogi, but my name is Adrienne, so listening to this episode was a little surreal

Adrienne C

I’ll probably miss the streams cause I still have work. XP

Im pretty sure there is FF7 on the switch, just that its the original and it wont be the remake

Oyabun

this is so nice i love just listening to you guys talk its so fun.. also would you guys be open to sharing your friend codes lmao!!!!!

Emily Kelly

Needed this to get me through being out of work and being stuck in the house. Y’all are the best!! 🤧💙
