Short Rest: Ep. 55: Tricky Trials

Is this episode start of the Jake marriage issues bit?

Jonathan H Brennan

Top tier short rest right here

Kyle Veach

Team BIG spoon!!! -signed, the wife of the person in this profile picture, who is in fact definitely a fork/little spoon guy

Brian Fitzpatrick

But also team fork with Murph

KSM101

Bored and re listening to everything while current episodes are being made and edited but Jake talking about hardwon maximum subscription all the way back here in this short rest made me giggle waaaaay more then it should have hahaha

KSM101

Love a chaotic short rest

Crumb Gunderson

so satisfying hearing Murph speak 100% truth about cutlery. entirely correct about all of it!

Camilla Jefferson

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven! A time to fork, a time to spork A big spoon for scoops, a small spoon for nibbles A knife to butter, a knife to cut meat And fingers with which to eat all the berries (there is a second verse about bowls and plates and, again, using your fingers... and potentially a third verse dedicated purely to grapefruit spoons?... but I think the point is made :D)

J. Gro

I couldn't "heart" this more than once, so I had to use words to express - ❤️ x (♾️ + 1)

J. Gro

This is only true if you’re good with chopsticks

Dr. Eggman

I stand with daddy M. Spoons are for soup and cereal!

Ethan

If anyone sees this I need them to know that the absolute GOAT of both precision and ratio control in the utensil game is chopsticks, especially if the example meal is chicken and broccoli

Mason Sauer

I’m horrifically late to this, but I gotta admit that I FULLY agree with daddy Murph on this one. Forks all the way, and if I gotta go spoon, especially for yogurt, soup, and ice cream, we’re wielding the tiny spoon. If a spoon can hit the sides of my mouth or teeth super easily, I want out.

Nickolaus Harner

Raspberries over blueberries. Spoons over forks, but it has to be a little spoon.

firebug

Big spoons and medium forks. Blackberries over Raspberries but I love a Razzberry patch. But where is my Balnor saying "Chicken" shirt?

Dylan Meyer

I agree with Murph in I prefer forks over spoons but if I’m eating cereal I need a medium sized spoon, not too big but not too small.

ASillyPigeon

The witch game was beautiful. Big vibes of the last scene of Four Rooms, if anyone remembers that one....

Matt Davis

Absolutely killed me that this is where Hardone’s love for maxim mags came from in C3

AJ Reid

Truly thorny razz blueberry fork short rest content

Sean Noronha

small spoon is raspberry is rose

Inez Bangar

I was wondering why there were so many comments before listening - this one is fantastic and a true raspberry fork

62-bit Hero

Small spoons for life!!!! I dont care abt other utensils, sometimes you need a fork, sometimes you need a spoon. but if you need a spoon you need a small one!!!

djspooky

Forks for life and small spoons only. I stand with Murph on this one. But spoons for Mac and Cheese over forks.

Nicole Hart

Small spoons and forks ONLY. Also bowls are superior to plates 100% (but 50/50 on spoons and forks).

Haley Amplo

And she forks with spoons

Lil Drummer Boy

I fork with forks

Lil Drummer Boy

Spoons are my wife's blueberries

Lil Drummer Boy

Forks are my raspberries

Lil Drummer Boy

Spork

undead_feline_seymour

I’m with Murph. Forks and tiny spoons are roses. But unfortunately raspberries are spoons. Blueberries are forks because raspberries are just too sour.

Rachel Joy Leaf

Funniest short rest yet. Definitely need more raspberries in my life

DannyDM

lord have mercy i listen to this all the time whenever i need a laugh. the chaotic razz-competitive humor is too funny to me

Alex Rocheleau

This episode is the spooniest raspberry rose

Alex Herndon

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? Jake needs to watch IT crowd if he's trying to get into football culture.

meeemster

I am so spoon that there was a time I buttered bread with a spoon.

Casey Alexander

Ice cream with a fork? I'm sorry that is blasphemy my friend

Josef Jozefowicz

Someone! call the man's keys! His spouse has been missing for under a fortnight!

Vizier

Big spoon for cereal. Forks for meat and veggies.

Jordan Clement

Raspberry’s are roses and spoons

Lucas James Bennett

Raspberries and spoons > blueberries and forks

Ollie Sandrey

This is my favorite short rest thus far ❤️ 😂

Oliver Jasper

#RaspberrysAreSpoons

BlueHoshi

This could have been more focused on the episode.

DT

“Chicken” 😂😂😂

Nick

I am definitely a fork person. I eat ice cream and applesauce with a fork because it tastes better. But also, the smaller the spoon, the better. The ice cream sampling spoons are the best.

HailtotheQueenJ

Okay, I like the small spoon, but I prefer spoons overall

Gavin L.

Forks are so much better

Brennan Washington

Woah this is wild. My gf is definitely a spoon person but I’m definitely a fork and small spoon person. I lost my mind when Murph said the small spoon thing.

Candice Allen

I'm coming back after binging all of naddpod to listen to the commentary stuff, and let me tell you, nothing you all have made has felt more like an aneurysm than this short rest. I need to sit down.

May Leonard

honestly i think that raspberries are blueberries, forks are raspberries (when raspberries are blueberries), spoons are blueberries (when blueberries are raspberries), and small spoons are superior to large spoons

Fiona Dowell

Small spoons are superior. If you use a large spoon for anything your a maniac.

Jake Powell

With the headless horseman puzzle, I thought the answer was the son based on their ages, and such, presumed reason for death. The parents were both old so likely died from natural causes, the daughter was very you g so she probably died from sickness, but the son was a young adult so I thought to myself that he was probably murdered or died in battle, so would have reason to be so spiteful until he got his head back.

Lily Everett-Curwick

Spoons are blueberries. Forks are raspberries. Had to google it. tac·i·turn /ˈtasəˌtərn/ Taciturn. adjective (of a person) reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little. "after such gatherings she would be taciturn and morose"

Justin Bourne

Honestly, "Chicken..." is one of the funniest moments of my life lmao it's amazing how it all worked out

Matt Boggs

As a London Lad, I'm backing Murph all the way with the precise raspberry forks!

Daniel Butcher

I recognize I am late on commenting here, but I feel so strongly about forks that my opinion needed to be known. Gotta support Murph.

Kay Murillo

Also this is a very good short rest, a really funny one throughout

Extragarb

I resonate with Murph's fork/spoon situation so hard. Precision all the way! In particular, my absolute favorite spoon has a borderline comically small head and an outrageously long handle for eating something like ice cream. I want to take small precision scoops from a very comfortable distance using mostly leverage alone. I feel very strongly about this, and I am faced with very few opportunities to discuss it with people.

Extragarb

Team Fork for sure. I'd buy that shirt, Murph

Cat

Could Emily have used the green leaves from her boots of elven kind to cross to that evergreen?

Mike Beard

Thrilled to here I'm not alone in preferring the Lissie version of Pursuit of Happiness.

Jim Verbick

As a fellow Jersian, I agree wholeheartedly with Murph on the fork/spoon topic

Justin_Raccoon

This short rest made me laugh so hard at the raspberries and spoons part.

Alyssa

Best short rest.

Dean

Spoon boi here

Matthew

#spoonandbowllife. Spoons are superior.

Catrissa

Team fork for sure. I am on board with Murph the whole way. And I consider myself a lad, love razzing and being razzed, I razz myself often

Dave Johnson

Team Murph on this one.

Ross Merkle

Murph is 100% right. Spoons are for soup, cereal, and some desserts. Little Spoon better than Big Spoon #OneBigBed

Brian Matthew

For this Short Rest, my blue raspberry flavoured spork was not knowing if Caldwell considers grapefruits as bowls.

BrassW

How much money do we need to donate so that every short rest is just like this one 😂

Mitchell Blake

Total game changer. You could eat soup and a precision food at the same time!!

Joseph P

I could use a shirt that says "What is a spoon if not a bowl with a dream"

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

I got a metal spork as a little office gift and it's changed my life

PJ

Best short rest so far ♥️. Bowls are best, spoons are bowls, blueberries are spoons

Rhys Morgan

I'm not Filipino, but I'm a white person who has been converted to this way of eating. It's totally the way to go.

Devlin McGuire

The correct answer is the Filipino method of eating with a spoon in one hand and a fork in the other. Best of both worlds! Total raspberry!

Devlin McGuire

Plate=fork, bowl=spoon. Use them all! I feel like the knife is being underappreciated here!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Murph is absolutely correct.

This episode was not quite a fork, not quite a spoon.......but a fapoon

Jack

I'm completely with Murph on this one. I always use forks, and if I use a spoon it's a small spoon. As for the rating scale... amber

Fallwithstyle

This was the episode that made me become a patreon for the short rest. I died laughing at that witch trial 😂😂😂

Kingsley Onumbu

TEAM LITTLE SPOON MURPH FUCK YEAH

Brad Copland

Also I’m soooo lost raspberries are bad right? Lol

Joseph P

Team Fork and Blueberry

Joseph P

#Raspberryfork

TheNoodleDoodler

Team fork bby , spoons are for soup

Marisa

#TeamRoseRaspberryFork I stand with you, Murph. Spoons are for soup and cereal.

Ian Capper

I feel like Murph could have played that a bit differently to possibly throw them off a little, like possibly being dismissive when answering such as saying "despite what I've eaten with you all, my true favorite food is roasted pork" or something similar. Though it was extremely funny, I feel bad for his puzzles ending being so anti climactic.

Takanari Hori

omg y’all. listening to this while working out and could not stop laughing. my husband is from berlin, NJ and wildwooded every summer, totally irish catholic, and had the exact same stance as murph about forks. it comes up every dinner when setting the table, and i am 100% in the spoon camp with emily (and share the reasoning behind forks for fruit). this one hit too close to home lmfao. too fucking good.

alyssa

Never related to Murph more.......give me an APPROPRIATELY SIZED SPOON #forksarerasberries

Lindsay Rodgers

Oh my god as soon as Murph said “......chicken.” I was like, ‘oh, this is going to be a GOOD Short Rest.’

Billy Waldy

#FORKme

Bryan Ortiz

nobody likes a spork?

michael boyce

SMALL SPOONS + BOWLS. Allows you to savor the meal. Takes care of the sloppiness. Fight me 💅🏼

Kyra MacFarlane

#rosesareforks and my forks were chicken and raspberries.

#rosesareforks

Brandon Davis

So I have been putting off getting the Patreon thing til today. I was like f*ck it. I have been putting it off for long enough. Now I’m listening to it...... I’m so confused. Lol. Entertained and confused.

John Sickles

I made Hardwon's Party Mix! So cool that you guys listened to it

Honor Burke

Nah yeah, this episode they're fully lads but sometimes they're just wholesome bloody good mates :)

Steph

I’m Australian, you’re all my lads. 🙂

Emily

I’m with Murph on this one. Small spoons not big, and forks for precision.

Emily

.... Forks ... that is all.

Ryan B.

Oh no can i come in and say I use both?!?! I use the fork to push more food into my spoon. (If you're filipino and know what I'm talking about, yooooooo). Fork and spoon unite!

Alexandra K.

Forks are superior and the blueberries are tastiest 😂

Frederick Weisenberger II

Someone neeeeeeeds to find the controversial Caldwell tweet that got him so razzed

Clayton Molter

Knives are forks are razberries are thorns are grapefruits are roses are mad lads are 2 crew are tuna

Aaron Sterne

#raspberryspoon #blueberrythorn

Also, “Escape the Room” is a brand name, just Escape Room or Escape Game are the more accurate names.

Jake

Speaking as the owner of an escape room, yes, people absolutely do go to escape rooms as first dates, but we do not recommend it. Very awkward to watch.

Jake

This one is a fork for sure.

CHUHCK

Murph’s right about small spoons tho

Michael West

I love the ridiculous arguments last few weeks 😂

Will Brannon

This ep is a real knife, an absolute banana, and the most severe stem I've ever known.

Daniel Unger

Unacceptable! 20 years in the dungeon!

Andrew Duff

chopsticks.

Dorothy

I love when I see the comments first and know I'm in for 45 minutes of the BoB talking about cutlery.

Thomas Friedlander

Spoons are so much more versatile than forks. I.E. Forks Win.

Sarah

The witch did not have that information. It was established the she did not have any knowledge of their memories or past experiences.

James Spencer

I have never been more offended than hearing that you're eating chicken with a spoon. I can't listen to this show anymore.

Emilio McPherson

Fruit bowls and spoons are the only items on Emily's and Jake's amazon wishlist.

Andrew Duff

This episode is my Fork 👍🏽 of short rest. (Don’t worry Murph I too like a little spoon)#Rasberriesareblueberries #Grapfruitarethorns

Debra Wasson

I have done escape rooms for dates before! Not for a first date, but on two second date occasions. One girl, we made it through but the second girl (my current girlfriend) we failed miserably. To be fair that one was for 5-8 people and it was just the two of us. Going strong for over 2 years though! It's a risky play but I think it's a fun way to communicate with your date rather than just sitting across a table from them.

Grant Kenny

Blueberries are spoons are roses

Carly Scutella

Fork>Spoon raspberry>blueberry This episode a delicious bowl of raspberries eaten perfectly with a fork

Alex

Rose is a raspberry and blue berries. Thorn is a cherry. Sporks are the most raspberry.

Dylan Curran

So grapefruits are neutral then?

MJMM

Those mixed metaphors had be crying laughing. And most of the time I'm #teambabyspoon but y'all, why on earth aren't you eating your chicken and broccoli with the chopsticks that have been provided for you?

Jacq Attack

Blueberries are spoons, grapefruits are tiny spoons, but raspberries are most definitely forks #teamtinyspoon

Andrew Rieker

#teamprick

Jon Schindehette

I got your back murph: Rose=raspberry=fork, Thorn=blueberry=spoon

Michael Lovell

Having established Balnor is from the autumn region where there is a river of tuna salad, the witch could have answered that truthfully by guessing

Daniel Hynes

FORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #teamfork

Mikii M

Fuck raspberries, spoons or thorns it’s all about the.... CHICKEN and Tuna

Alex aka Zol Ark

I let that "Hardwon's Party Mix" on Spotify play while I'm working today 😄. Pretty fun/amusing. Thanks for shouting it out!

BlurryVizion

Yes but also what?

Bishop Lewis

Some Toy Story 4 style Spork action up in this dish... Raspberry Bush 😂 #TeamSpoonsAreForSoup&Cereal

BlurryVizion

My main man Murph knows that forks is the shit! And omg this is like the third time I'm commenting on one of these taking a stance in a ludicrous debate

Lucas Lindholm

hmmm yes cutlery commentary this is indeed the quality content i signed up for 👌✨😂

ayahiraya

I think the way you say Lad isn't very laddish. Think of it like Bro Culture.

Alex Smyth

Murph should have just said Fish

Connor Proudfoot

As a Brit, I can say that your all a bunch of total madlads...

Hrishi Venkatesh

As an Australian can confirm, you’re all absolute lads

Madeleine Smith

The Roses, raspberries,thorns, blue berry, and spoon part made me feel like 8bbc when they would switch characters names with other words while they were reading
