[Teen Talk] Ep. 8 - Slumber Party Mayorssacre

The Teens talk about episode eight of season two including how the FBI conversation from earlier in the season set up Matt's takeover of the episode, Anthony's shock that Freddie missed Hero's crush on Taylor, and Beth's struggle to find the perfect Yo Mama joke to level at the Mayor. 

Plus, we get into the unspoken rules of romance in campaigns, competing in the Hunger Games versus The Great British Bake Off, and the most bizarre thing everyone has bought online.

@freddy: Why would Matt's daughter need an air tag for "bring your kid to work day"? Uncle Freddy wil be at the same workplace with cool new ceramics... Dot is not wandering off anywhere. 🤩

it's so cute hearing them talk about and be fascinated by the interpersonal relationships and dynamics between them all

I was playing Slay the Spire while listening to this. I never felt so called out

Cristian Taylor

Definitely a teen talk to relisten too

the chompie man

They’re trying to figure out how to say that they’re all attracted to Anthony without saying it

Cameron Davis

Listening to the hesitancy re: pcpc romance is wild bc I feel like they’ve been leading to link and scary falling for each other (this is my first listen thru don’t correct me rn)

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Thx to the 2 crew for a gorgeous c3. Now Kenna, go get yer girl

In the 6th grade we used dead bees to artificially pollinate plants in biology class. They supposed had died of natural causes

This was the episode where season 2 really clicked with me. It’s great. Aside to this, in the loony toons tortoise and the hare episode Bugs Bunny dresses up like a tortoise, but gets beat up constantly by the hare gangs trying to slow the actual tortoise down. In the end, the tortoise wins and Bugs reveals he was dressed as a tortoise as well and the gangsters have been beating up the hare. All of the gangsters commit suicide by gun.

Brennan Lee Muligan talked about why pcs find it easier to romance a th rather than other players, if it fizzles out or gets awkward then that npc can just go away forever but if that happens with a player that can be weird at the table.

Quantum OFZENTRIX

Such a great series. Weirdly, also pretty much all of Distopian YA Fantasy

Phil H

BETHHHHHHH! I just finished all of the Animorphs series : D Animorphs is about child soldiers XD

Marina Loredo

Dead bees? Anyone who is into: oddities, foraging, studying insects, Victorian era inspired natural history collecting, may purchase such a thing. I've tried my hand at pinning insects for display, it's neat.

lorraine

I have to say that my mom passed away a few weeks ago and I haven’t laughed as hard as I did, to the yo momma so dead jokes, in a long time 😂

Brennon Kelley

Also, any time we wanted to roll low, we would shout "pullout game"

Rosadi10

Let's just say as a result (punishment?), our DM made Richard roll for pullout game, and he rolled a nat 1. And because we didn't have time in the DM didn't want to role play it in game, we were tasked with writing Canon fiction about how Saphira found out she was pregnant as homework. My character had to explain how fucking sex works and how to use contraceptives. And we had to roll a character sheet for the unborn child. We never finished the campaign cause the player for Richard broke up with me and tore open the friend group, but it was hilarious and genuinely terrifying while it lasted.

Rosadi10

This one campaign I was in, we made some shit post smutty fanfic between two of the characters, this cat girl with an addiction to electricity and a grizzly angsty repressed soldier. In the world of RWBY, no less. And that's a joke we gave it to our DM because we'd worked hard it was f****** hilarious and stupid as s***

Rosadi10

weirdly even if they are half siblings, provided Lark and Sparrow are identical and not fraternal twins, they would genetically be the same as normal siblings

Caz Flip Smith

I’m sure there’s other reason but I know one reason for the dead bees (and wasps and other insects) can be for witchcraft and spells and stuff

Emma Love

That life advice stuff about your career that you guys talk about, I might put that on repeat because Goddamn I respect the hell out of you guys and what you're doing, and when Anthony is talking about "it's okay to pivot, forgive yourself, etc", that hit me ❤️ As a bloke who graduated in the pandemic in engineering who's anxious af about the field of engineering

Ben

I think player-to-player romance can definitely be a really nice or very weird dynamic depending on how the table reacts. I have played out a player-to-player romance before and it was honestly really nice and cute. It added a different dynamic to the table and brought forth a new drive to those characters. Granted, it also helped that my group is made up of old friends and we all trust each other to maintain boundaries and be mature. I imagine that if we were a group of more casual friends, it could definitely have been weird, especially considering that the other player in that romance was the DM's girlfriend: who was the one that actually initiated the romance. On that subject though, our characters nearly did have children. They were supposed to go away together to live a normal family life on another plane for some amount of years and then return to the moment that they left in order fight the final battle, but the campaign was unfortunately put on an indefinite hiatus just before that happened.

Andrew Thao

I had to check this out but you're right. I just watched that clip online. It goes dark, and blam! Then the circle appears and you see bugs alive. The shot widens and you see Sam with a his hat blown off and a burned scalp.

Martin Kidney

Yup, I actually assumed that Beth was hinting at the potential of that kind of story arc since Scary has been out-of-character nice to Link (Link might be the only character she’s bothered to apologize to after saying something mean?)

CJ

As for player romance, my sister and her girlfriend literally cannot play a game of DnD together without thier characters falling in love 😅 Like the characters can be SO incompatable but still end up together bc it's them

jmethelizbian

HOW DID "BEE-KERS DOZEN" GET ABSOLUTELY NO LOVE!!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

Adrian Woodhouse

THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT GRADY HENDRIX AND HE’S LITERALLY MY FAVORITE AUTHOR!!! ANTHONY, PLEASE READ MY ‘BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM,’ AND ALSO ‘THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES’

Caitlin Carino

Rrr

Was horrified by that looney toons russian roulette aside but looked it up and it's way more tame than they made it sound. Neither Bugs nor Sam die, they just do a joke where Bugs pulls the trigger on himself and the screen fades to black but then it turns out he had moved to point it at Sam instead, but instead of dying he just says "I hate that rabbit" Unless I'm being lied to by the internet, they don't die at the end

millenniumhooha

“You’re mom’s so dead her junkyard is a passport” Will is so funny omg 💀

bebebub

I think it’s infinitely funny that Anthony accidentally called the mayor “he” and then called the mare “he” which is, by definition, a female horse.

Olivia Marino

I can understand what you guys mean about it being weird for pc’s to romance each other. But damnit I TRULY detect some chemistry between Link and Scary 💀

Macy

Oh my God my first dnd game had romance between between two PC characters, mine and another players. I missed like 8 session in a row because I moved away for a like half a year, thought she would be written out but when I came back my character was alive, involved in the story still and also pregnant. The child is now the BBEG in our current game.

GSISGSN

I truly believe Link and Scary are going to get together. Sorry Not Sorry

Maddy Sedlor

Anthony, you have no idea how much I want to see more of Hero Oak. Hilarious voice and loads of potential awkwardness. She could even be your ticket into having a playable character like with Paeden in Season 1.

Anthony Licata

@helen in the dance episode they talk about an affair between lark and normal's mom. Since hero is older than normal it would be a sick twist if she is his half sister

Lienisaur

Wait. What did i miss????

Helen Hastie

What was the “my plate is full” generator? Anyone share a link?

John Denny

THE SLAY THE SPIRE PULL FUCK YES

jacob kessler

Apitherapy, Matt. People use worker Bees to sting places on the body to bring pain relief from arthritis and the like. Source: I kept Bees for a long ass time

Jebediah Stone

On careers, I have a degree in Criminal Justice. I wanted to be a cop or probation officer. Was a 911 dispatcher for about 8 years after college. Now I work at a radio station, totally awesome, mostly social media graphics and making commercials. And that has sparked an interest in graphic design and production stuffs. Hi, I'm 33 and have no idea what I'm doing, but dammit, I'm going to enjoy whatever I wind up doing.

Adrienne Rushing

I totally have that Cat Wars calendar on my wall right now. Good choice Will!

Tom L

Came here to say exactly this

Thomas Vaché

Anthony — if you like Final Girl Support Group you should definitely read Stephen Graham Jones’s My Heart is a Chainsaw! It’s (imho) a better version of a similar concept. Also The Only Good Indians is phenomenal.

Stephanie Clark

Will’s advice was great. Anthony’s advice…could have saved so much money on university and therapy if I’d heard that sooner.

Nerdsome Noel

Wild. I play different campaigns with the exact same group of friends and we all have PC x PC romance all the time with different combinations and whether they date irl or not doesnt matter either, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't :"D always interesting to see how that differs from table to table. But very convenient that you guys are all on the same page about that though! :D

Doe

Speaking of elementary school dream jobs, my younger brother wanted to be a garbage man because he thought they only had to work one day a week. We are a family of underachievers, and despite our best efforts we have become the best at underachieving.

Matt

I just want to say, the life advice section made me cry laughing. Freddie and Anthony had me in stitches.

Jordan Schaefer

For anyone curious, according to the novelisation of the film, ET is over 10 million years old

Josh the Alchemist

To the person asking for career advice, I definitely agree with Anthony's sincere advice. I went to college to major in theater and now I'm a librarian! Do what makes you happy or content, and if it freaks you out you don't have to keep doing it

Josie

An extra bee? Don't you mean... a free-bee

Elsa (Ness)

Anthony and Freddie giving their joke advice about writing reminds me of a few twin comedian acts I've heard, namely the Sklar brothers

HeBroHammer

Will’s talk about how creative things take time and to not beat yourself up about it made me cry ngl

Trysta

What do you mean?

Oren Tuchman

I'll be honest. I don't like that they kept the original music intro. It doesn't feel "Teen" to me at all.

Abby Amsel

I just bought a Mexican wrestler mask. Specifically for a d&d character.

Virgil McClurken

wiccans love dead shit

dog pockets

I'm playing in a game with two couples (DM + their partner) and two players who didn't start the campaign as a couple. I just showed up one week and the in-game flirting had turned into a Real World relationship. They're polite enough to fade to black.... Still awkward to play with for me.

Noah Jay

im so happy they mentioned the zybourne clock, its one of my fave story break episodes :)

Era

Matt the dead bee thing is a type of therapy that has been coming out. I listen to skeptics guide to the universe and Steve the main host wrote a blog post on it that goes way more in depth about it. It's probably what the bee ladies were talking about. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/bee-venom-therapy-update/

Berry Kay

Wait is hero larks child? Half sister to normal. That would be such a twist

Lienisaur

I was all over the idea of "Nick Close" being back, I thought it was gonna be the original version of Nick before the switch was put into some kind of prison outside of space and time and found a way to break out. And not there was a Nick Close and a Nicholas Foster

Drednot

To the point for the sex between PCs. Idk but it seems like its a fear of the Skyrim Marriage Effect. Upon marrying your favorite character in the game, all interactions between you and them become dull and single issued

FusRohNahSon

Omg one of my fiancé character was impregnated by a npc Goliath. He was playing a female earth genasi. He had fun with that character

jen Rogue

My mental image of a mayor is also, precisely, the monopoly guy.

John Ring

Definitely agree. It's always fun watching redditors theorize about the episode afterwards!

Grayson

I love the new season! Taylor is easily my favourite character, I love how things are going so far c:

Lazaretto

This was probably one of my favorite episodes

NinjaMJ

Et went to jail

Flyingtortuga

Let's go
