Behind many great dnd podcasts exists an earlier podcast that is less well known and about more of a niche topic that only features three of the cast members of the dnd show that is equally if not more gut-bustingly funny

my (PERSONAL) scores for their stand-up:

linc: 4/10 with 1 lpm - so sweet, so earnest, you can’t have comedy without the courage to share parts of you to complete strangers and he got that in one. lacking in the jokes department so the laugh per minute (lpm) was low but i bumped him up bc it was so genuinely adorable

taylor: -10/10 with 5 lpm - very niche humor which appealed to me specifically. so bad that it actually turned around and became so good that it’s still a 10/10! died like a martyr but was the most comfortable and had the most stage presence, stayed upbeat the entire time!

scary: 5.5/10 with 3 lpm - had the most jokes that actually landed by far and embodied their character the most. actually used the character’s story and integrated it into the set well! the jokes landed less as it went on but easily second when it comes to stage presence and cadence

normal: 4.5/10 with 1 lpm - less of a stand up set and more of a manic recitation of someone’s diary, jokes landed like a pile of dough on the kitchen floor but normal carried the plot progression up a mountain on his back this episode and snuck some character exploration in there too!! like tori, loved the energy

hermie: 3.5/10 with 1 lpm - had some funny, edgelord humor throughout which fit the character he was playing. like scary, wove the character’s story into the jokes which i liked! little to no cadence or breaks in between to let the jokes digest so it felt very rehearsed and fast, manic in a diametrically opposed way to normal

do you think it hurts nick to realize that taylor has adjusted perfectly well without him in his life? that he may be even better off without nick?

i no longer care about dungeons and daddies, it’s all abt fetch quest now

& honestly throughout the entire campaign, whenever there was a moment for glenn to have a heart to heart, his issues were always the hardest to solve and easiest to set aside for next time.

bc glenn’s the goofball, the comic relief! it’s hard to help someone who plays it off because you want to believe it’ll work out for him, you HAVE to believe it’ll work out for him.

glenn’s the good time dude, the party boy, the devil may care rockstar. he’s never had or given himself the time to look within & when he finally does have the time, the years, to do so it’s a missed opportunity. what breaks my heart is that it’s the same for nick, he is his father’s son.

i think the reason why glenn’s intervention in ep 66 feels so ultimately dissatisfying is bc he says there was introspection and growth during his solitary confinement but freddie, the player, was never given the room or tools to explore that
