something about murph so confidently saying "i could pull off a shadow the hedgehog neck tattoo" and my immediate reaction being "huh. i think he's right."

Transcript:

[Surprise round boom] Emily: I have a really good idea. Caldwell: Okay. Emily: I take out my phone and I make the flash go off at the same time-- like, in the direction of the press-- at the same time that I dive towards the egg to knock it out. [Caldwell laughs.] Murph: That... sounds like such a scene, Emily. That sounds like such a fucking scene. [Emily laughs in the background.] Jake: That was pre-empted by "I have a really good idea". Murph: Yeah [laughs]. That's... one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. That's the worst thing you could do in this situation. [Emily squeaks with laughter. Jake laughs too.] Caldwell: Is-- So-- Murph: Literally the worst thing you could do in this situation. Caldwell: I'm just picturing you-- Murph: Call attention to yourself and then dive??? Emily, through laughter: I-- Murph-- [breaks off] Murph: Everything you've done in this situation is bad, take it again. Take it back. Emily: I think you misunderstood. Murph, laughing: No! No, I'm perfectly understanding! [Jake and Emily laugh.] Murph: I-- cause-- it sounded like they're doing a speech on the dissertation. So it sounds like, maybe you could sneak up to the device, and the only danger is that you might break it. Caldwell: M-hm. Yeah. Murph: Right? It sounds like you could do it without being noticed. You are a) guaranteeing that you are noticed, and b) instead of carefully going towards the device, you are diving at it. [Emily laughs.] Caldwell: I think Emily is almost in the ready here. Murph, yelling: Is she? Is she? Is she? Caldwell: Yeah! Yeah, she's almost there! Murph: Really? Go on. Emily: Nonono, I think you don't understand. If the dive and the flash happen concurrently so that nobody can take a picture of me while I'm doing it. Caldwell: But you get-- okay that's good. That's good. That's a really great tactic. Murph, doubtful: Okay? Jake: It almost sounds like your idea is like a distraction for someone else to steal the egg, but it's not. It's for you. Murph and Caldwell: Yeah.

I know I should be more impressed by his beautiful world-building and incredible encounter design but I really think surprise round is some of Murph’s finest work. He has a beautiful mind and it’s on full display in this format.

Tell me you listen to NADDPOD without telling me you listen to NADDPOD. I'll go first.

I almost forgot but I went to Hobby Lobby today and I could see the shade of this aisle from three aisles away and wanted to share

murph core hypothetical

[jetsetclassic]

i love that dumb sock puppet that Caustic Creations had in that one match

(reference under cut)

[operationslipperypuppet]

surprise round is an incredible show that heightens the short rest energy to an insane degree. where else would you get caldwell saying the he’d leave his wife for sonic the hedgehog or that he’d embrace the idea of a man at a winery in a dirty sonic costume calling him “daddy”??

[queenshammer]

Looove a mixed bag that makes me scream “Emily!” in the Murph voice
