Ep. 91: Secrets, Secrets (The Chosen Saga)

I cannot believe I'm having so many feelings about a former belly chain inhabitant, played for laughs NPC. Y'all are incredibly talented.

Nova

Honey Magpie is good! Thanks for the shout out Jake I love it.

Eric McDaniel

Oh we're crying now. Thank you guys for this so much.

Shout out to Murph for the ankle pick > side control description. That whole grappling scene was amazing and I really appreciated the mechanic you created for it.

Please don’t hurt us too much Murph

Dana G

I don’t remember if it’s this episode or not but I cried at the paw paw reaction and even harder with penta. Y’all are making a beautiful campaign 💔

Dana G

Emily’s RP skills have given me chills before but nothing like this.

Raphael Hernandez

Thank you Emily for being so incredibly talented that I felt your pain with you. And Murph for holding it together in response. I never thought I'd cry on the way to work because of a D&D podcast.

This was the first ep that made a tear roll down my cheek on the way to school. I love this show so much.

I really hope Moonshine gets a happy ending and doesn’t have to suffer in Hell forever 😭

I really enjoyed Murph's decision to keep Gunther dead. Being able to resurrect anyone who died without consequence would kind of had lowered the stakes in this apocalyptic ending. 🌹

Adam D Knetsch

NOO PAWPAW!!! but legit the next scene with Egwene and pawpaw smoking made me laugh again mixed emotions all around. I don't want the stories with Band of Boobs to end but... it has to... every great story does... 😭😭😭 Bouquet of roses to everyone for this excellent episode and the biggest rose to Moonshine for the gut-punching decision 🌹

Yura

Catch me crying in the filing room at work. Such a sad episode, but in a good way. I think Emily plays Moonshine so well and so real, and I hope in the end Moonshine is saved from her terrible (but righteous and honorable) fate! Such an amazing job Emily!

Caoimhe

At the beginning of February the adventure zone how does episode called secrets secrets to that’s funny

Good Guy Josh

Amazing episode! They really just keep getting better. Btw, if you're going to Phoenix, please come to Colorado - like the Boulder or Denver area!!

To Murph, Emily, Caldwell and Jake: I've spent my whole life hiding in stories. I suffer from depression, and sometimes it gets...bad. Stories have always been how I fight it back. I was in a really bad place when I found this podcast well over a year ago. The truth is, you guys have saved my life. I mean that in the most literal way ever. The perfect mix of humor and raw emotion have been perfect week after week to keep me going. This episode was the absolutely perfect example of that. I can never thank you guys enough for everything. I hope you guys can take some joy in knowing that you've changed my life for the better. May the tales of the Band of Boobs live in song and story forever.

Moonshine Cybin: Queen of Hellves!

Was relistening, and I just love Jaina and Hardwon’s friendship so much! It’s so nice to see them supporting each other and being bros

Kestrel

Murph’s constantly just like “here’s a new character. Pretty stupid huh? Surely just here for comic relief, right? Well in about six weeks this guy’s gonna say or do something so poignant that you’re going to cry your eyes out in front of a bus full of strangers.”

Ryan Coogan

Murph and Emily I don’t know if you’re just both amazing character actors but I could really hear the love between you guys in this episode. And I was a grown man crying on his way home listening to this naddpod

Good Guy Josh

The only thing I want in life is to be as absorbed and passionate about something as Emily is about storytelling in D&D . god I wish someone would play D&D with me! 😭

shrimpy_senpai

I AGREE!!! I was almost mad nothing happened between them in the episode! I selfishly want it to happen. Yo gemma is GOOD dog, like kiss a hot strong dwarf lol

shrimpy_senpai

Absolutely did not plan to cry on my way to work this morning. Emily is the most amazing person ever, such incredible storytelling. Thanks for the feels! ❤️

Megan Andros

Emily is the most amazing person tbh 🥰

Gobbi Wasabi

Gobbi Wasabi

Alexander J Taylor

Molly

Emily, all of the roses and hemp milk to you ❤ you bought this episode so much depth and it was a beautiful experience. Love you band of boobs!!

Marisa Thornburg

You ruined my week Brian!!!

Emily gave me the feels big time in this episode. Wow! Thank you all for bringing us into this world! ❤️

Terran Benedict

Crying on the commute about a crick

Scott Craig

Fucking fuck

Listening to Moonshine talk to Pendergreens about taking over hell was such a painful experience...great job putting that emotion into her, Emily! I will definitely be brokenhearted if Pendergreens isn't able to save her from taking over hell somehow. I loved the explanation Murph had him give for why he's such a different person than he was previously. I can't wait for the BoB's fight with Death!

Katherine Clarke

The amount of tears I had to hold back at work listening to this. F you guys for making me want to cry at work. I love you guys though don’t take the f you as a bad thing.

Brian

So heavy. Thank goodness there was some silly shenanigans too, definitely needed the balance. You guys are the best.

Joseph Goldstein

Please Awaken Pawpaw for the finale.

Clayton Davis

Good thing I opted not to listen to this on my commute, full on ugly crying 😭

Katy Tacik

Jesus that was insane- and of course goes to show that Emily is the greatest DnD player in the world

Beverly encounters a "dad" omen?

Stovepipe Flange

Darn you Emily for making me cry. I was not prepared for these feelings

I don't mind being a goblin, but did you really have to make me survive by pulling a _Denny?_ D:

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Please post the song for Pawpaw, Em.

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Thanks for making me cry at work guys, Jesus!

MacKenzie

What a great ep!! I actually shed a tear for paw paw and moonshine. I love the fungal queen

Penny Garbo

Emily crying is breaking my heart. I’ve had to pause it twice so far.

Y’all this one was ROUGH

Natalie Stokes

Shed a tear for paw paw and moonshine, a huge rose for Emily this episode please!

Emily is absolutely brilliant and I adore Moonshine. This was so heartbreaking

Fuck you guys for making me cry about a mushroom woman and her possum

Whalen Abbott

I'm sueing for emotional damages

Crits

At the very end you hear Jake say, “Is my mom dead man.” Lmao! I love him.

lildevil567

Emily is the greatest DND player of all time, a brilliant improviser, a great actor and writer, and a pure force of chaos.

jacket22

Hey um this is a lot y'all

Matthew Steinmetz

It’s an honor to get to listen to y’all

Kestrel

I spend a lot of time talking about how Emily is a genius and Moonshine is the best character ever made but like. Emily sure is a genius and Moonshine is the best character ever made, huh

Kestrel

Can we just draw attention to the fact that Jake asks Murph if his mom died just before the end music played 😂

Nathan Cartier, The assistant king to the assistant king of IronDeep, Hail to the Hammer!
