[Talking Dad] Ep. 15 - 8 Simple Rules for Dadding my Teenage Paeden
Added 2019-08-27 05:00:01 +0000 UTC
We discuss the departure and Matt defends his role playing. We speculate about mid-life crises, and reflect fondly upon Medieval Times, Beth roasts Freddie, who has suffered grievous injuries, and we discuss the granddaddy of all D&D podcasts - The Adventure Zone!
As a man-adjacent person under 30 who definitely has delusions of shits-gone-down-grandeur, I feel personally attacked by Will at 22:45 /lh

Hey, not sure how much of an international listenerbase there is. I live in France and we have Puy du Fou. If that is a 10 (and it is) how does medieval times compare?

This is my like 5-7th? Listen thru of the series. It’s the first time I realized he was referring to manitou lol!!! I’m also from the springs. I didn’t even know Manitou had actual springs that taste different, go figure.
Question for you Mandy, if Pueblo had springs would try tasting it? lol

As a Colorado Springs native, Freddie’s pronunciation of Manitou kills me 😂😭 It’s Mani-two, not Mani-toe. I do encourage anyone that visits to taste the springs, there are multiple around town and all taste different. Definitely acquired taste and you probably won’t like most of them

Hilarious now listening to this after listening to the first 7 episodes (that were recorded after the end of the first season) and remembering Will laughing that he's told the green knight story before.

As a former wench, I can confirm about the knights’ groupies. Also we never made a party wait for everyone to arrive before assigning seats-that’s crazy.

I didn't take it that way... I ride a motorcycle too, but you gotta know the risk every time you get on. It's significantly worse b/c of jackasses in SUVs/Trucks w/ huge blind spots, but that doesn't change the inherent risk of flying around at 60 in the open air. I think they were just saying 'you know what you were getting into'. But also, depending on the area, riders are really known for being a-holes.

I'm just impressed that Beth remembered that story like almost 3 years later

From Colorado- the spring water in Manitou (MAN-ih-TWO) isn't bubbly and it tastes like shit, lol. So heavy on the minerals.

My mom (named Sheryl) intentionally and deliberately turned down a guy named Darryl because she couldn't handle to the rhyming name thing, so the whole Darryl and Carol cracks me up.

Is there a reason that you decided to make the 'cast all about father-son relationships, and didn't want to bring in a father-daughter aspect? I'm assuming it's a matter of "write/role play what you know," but I'd like to hear if there was more to it that lead to it being shot down, such as running with an idea that you were excited about before a friend or sibling was able to explain to you why it might be problematic due to factors you didn't consider or were unaware of.

Who would each of the dads consider to be their closest friend in the party? Or do they even consider each other friends at this point?

So, long term question here, does anyone else have an interest in being the DM? I'm thinking like as a sidequest where for example, Matt/Darryl is lost/captured/storms off and then the others plus Anthony (as a new "local" character) go off looking for him. Leaving Matt free to DM the quest.

if you guys end up doing, what was it, Mommies and Monsters? would someone else DM? would you all play each others wives?

What were the dad's like at highschool?
Harry Motchman
2019-08-28 12:53:26 +0000 UTC
It’s clear how Freddy, Matt and Will all know each other, and how Anthony is involved, but how did you decide to bring (the hysterically funny, best character) Beth onboard?

Fleshing out a character is always difficult, especially if you're wanting to make the character into an individual being other than yourself. I'm glad Matt is asking the tough questions because that's what builds a backstory. You all are wonderful! Beth, I hope you get to feeling better. The other dad's can't survive without your help. I think.

how much input did the players have in creating their spouses and children? and was there a specific motivation for all the children to be boys, or did it just work out that way?
Scout
2019-08-27 17:51:32 +0000 UTC
So obviously the dads have at least met in passing before the first episode, so when did the dads meet one another first and what were the first impressions of each?
Zach Perkins
2019-08-27 17:16:21 +0000 UTC
do the dads have other kids? (besides payden sinse he is the best kid)

Y’all I just feel like Glenn is the kind of person who’s first exposure to music wasn’t with like any of the classic rock bands but was actually “King of Wishful Thinking” by Go West off the pretty woman soundtrack that his mom got him for his birthday but when he brought up that song to like his music friends in the conversation they were all like “who tf is that???” And then he was bullied for it but still listens to that song every year on his birthday.... idk just a thought
