Commenting because I want to remember the visual of Bev wearing lime green armor with gold racing stripes

The Grinch Tried to Pump my Gas in Jersey so I Put the Car in Reverse

Today's mood is relistening while recovering from illness and getting so emotional in my foggy brain that I start weeping in my living room

Hailee Henson

This episode will never lose its potency. Grade A storytelling with an unprecedented amount of emotional intensity. Balnor is the GOAT

LotPot_HotPot

god damnnit this episode still got me on the re listen...

keysi ellle

This episode was quite the tear jerker 😥

Glendon Hawke

Murph has made me cry a bunch of times now, such a great episode 💖

Geraint

What song is playing at 78 min? The one when everyone enter the fight

Lord Tourk

Fuck you, Murph! Damn Ninjas cutting onion!!!!!

Jens Christian Tvilum

Why cant moonshine every understand stuff

James ripple

Dammit this had me crying

James ripple

Bombshell episode! Great job, everyone! <3

Stay Awake Games

Slighlty disppointed not hearing about Erlin. But heck. That Balinor backstory fucked me right up!!!! Also. I love Alanis now.

ayahiraya

Well Murph, ya finally did it. You made me cry with Balnor's backstory. Right in the middle of a crowded commuter flight!

Jackson Brown

I HAVE TO GO TO WORK. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO LISTEN TO THIS AND NOT CRY AT WORK.

Jenny T

How excited was murph to finally reveal the horn of Valhalla? Theyve had it a whhhhile

Marge In Charge

With this episode, it's canon that Moonshine is the only one to successfully sock a legendary hero without consequence.

Taylor Schult

I’m only 30 min. in but I had to pop in just to say screw you Murph for making me well up in the middle of the grocery store with Balnor’s backstory (just kidding though I love it)

Foster’s Very Confused Veterinarian

I really hope the next monster of the month is the cover of "Ulfgar Goes Punch"!

Patrick Gallagher

Im losing my fucking mind how long was Murph sitting on that Balnor backstory!? Its so good!!!!

Mooneye

so amazing. love you guys

Joel Weisburger

Sorry if it's already been asked and I missed it: will Emily be converting moonshine to use the official GGtR spore druid or does she like the UA version better?

Devin Awe

Just when I think you guys couldn't possibly make a more feelsy episode... I haven't cried this much in years... dammit Balnor!

S Koster

Alanis's time travel loop gives off a lot of Madoka Magica vibes

Richard F

You guys are telling a f***ing dope story , I cannot give you all enough kudos for how much I am enjoying this! This rip is for Alanis ~

Kyle Callow

Alanis kept making me think of Kate McKinnon in Ghostbusters. Another great episode 😍

Amy Martin

Woah. I think the most incredible revelation about this entire episode is that during recording they'd only just received the Warcraft DVD that was used in the mixed bag of holding weeks ago.

Frankenjam

I made a mistake listening to this at work I almost cried. Thanks daddy murf for getting me invested!

Maggie

That was awesome love the story telling

Alex

I was so excited to learn more about my bag dad. I didn't expect to literally cry. Absolutely Wtf Murph?!

Victor T (Balnor's Boy)

Gotta love Murphy, he finally convinced the band of boobs to be reasonable and gets them to stop with everything he disagreed with 😂🤣😂... Party thinks all gnomes are evil: Daddy DM shows a lot of good gnomes that help the band out Party makes fun of Balnor’s backstory: The holy messenger gets rid of WW1 and he creates a heartbreaking, lovely backstory for the holy Bag-Dad And lastly, BoB can’t read and doesn’t want to: Daddy Murphy convinces Moonshine and Hardwon to read a book for once Big Daddy M is womping the party, one goof at a time 😂😂

Kahl Gillispie

2 hrs!!! woot!

Does anybody else think the next piece of merch should the children’s book Ulfgar goes punch?

mac thompson

Hersey Park flooded for a few days in July. and if that doesn't sound like a euphemism, I don't know what does.

zach orion miller

A Haven Away from Home will always be my favourite track. ❤️

Robert Mukwaodayin

The Boy Balnor

Zach Frye

Holy sh*t Murph. Can’t remember the last time I was on such an emotional roller coaster. Absolutely great work:)

Stephen B

But like one of the best episodes ever; don't stop 🙋

Marquisa Zrymiak

I lost track of how many times I almost cried this episode my god Murph calm down

Marquisa Zrymiak

Murph is now the villian in both Balnor's life and mine.

Rylie R

Definitely just as traumatizing as WWI as an origin story, poor Balnor. I'm sure Ilanis is a good guy, but i'm wondering if she has fully stated all the ways she's corrupted the timeline or otherwise let her creativity get the best of her. Also... Is she really just a chillionaire with all those drugs, or is she burying trauma?

Eric Burant

I loved this episode, but I have one issue with it: why didn't Balnor get any magic stuff from Alanis? This felt like a big Balnor episode, so I wish he would have gotten something like the rest of the BoB.

Thomas Friedlander

Balnor! My Heart! Sweet weak dad...

Nikki Lynn

I screamed in my car while listening to this. Omg.

Mell Wallis

Fuck me up right.

Joshua Jacobs

OMG Balnor 😭😭😭

BlurryVizion

Absolutely loved it. Feels train is real

Connor Proudfoot

Am I crying at Balnor’s backstory or just chopping onions?

Olivia Hill

Favorite day of the week!

HexMix

Just in time for a long day at work! Yes!!!

BlurryVizion

Halfway through. Well fuck me. I like it

Daniel Brick

Emily's going wild on that music, I love it.

Steven H

I'm so ready!
