The first editing decision of the episode tells you how real poo poo has gotten. Griffin is SO GOOD at this.

I always assumed some sort of reanimated Garfield Magnus Zombie would be among a final boss rush on the BoB. Unlikely now!!

Was Barry Bluejeans canonically 'Barold' all along or is that just in the last couple of eps? I noticed Travis doing it initially but now Justin is too. Either way I think it's great.

I take it that when they say it's not a goof, they mean it in the sense that they sincerely want it to happen, but in a more accurate sense it is a goof because they're just doing a The Secret.

Look. I ain't ready to call it a goof just yet. Griffin's meme of "my boy. I abandoned my boy!" is gaining some traction, all they need is for one meme to make it big and they're in.

The McElroy brothers will be in Trolls 2.

My first thought on that episode was "man these guys handle their weed way better than I do". Although by the end of the episode they were sounding pretty out of it

Yes. I got into the McElroy empire some months after that monster factory hit so i didnt really notice its usage.

So the reveal of the 7th member: Davenport's class is definitely going to be a YaDrew druid, right?

Get bashed, platonist!

God drat, it's no wonder that The Adventure Zone is the most downloaded McElroy podcast. It's so so so good.

Can't help but think that Captain Davenport isn't going to be too happy that Lucretia effectively lobotomized him and made him into a servant, even if she had the best of intentions.

There's no one I'd rather be than me.

So the Grand Relics were created to try and hide The Hunger? I don't think Griffin explained just what their purpose was clearly

Lucretia's explanation was rushed for obvious reasons. Here's what I figure.

The white thing that The Hunger was chasing after in the Voidfish vision is called The Light of Creation. In an attempt to hide The Light from The Hunger, the Red Robes split it into 7 pieces and put each piece into an item, creating the Grand Relics. It didn't work, and if Lucretia is to be believed, it actually made things worse.

Also I could listen to the McElroy brothers getting blazed and goofing every week.

Yea that was the vibe I got from it. They broke The Light up into 7 bits thinking The Hunger can't go after them all at once and they'd be able to squirrel them away. Woops The Hunger totally can go after all of them at once and they're so powerful they're almost as dangerous themselves now.

No es nada personal, solo negocios.
So... The birds in the prophecy are as follows, right?


The Twins: Taako/Lup
The Lover: Barry Blue Jeans
The Protector: Magnus
The Lonely Journal Keeper: Lucretia
The Peacemaker: Merle
The Wordless One: Capt. Davenport (major dick move on Lucretia's part imo)

Also, Johan's last words :smith:

Following on from that, the relics probably correspond to these in particular:


Staff: The Director
Chalice: Magnus
Gauntlet: Lup
Sash: Merle
Stone: Taako (as much as I'd love the Taako Bell joke, the stone makes more sense for Taako)
Bell: Barry (Griffin's narration in the previous episode mentioned that Barry used to have a different method of coming back to life)
Oculus: Davenport (interesting to note that the oculus is the only relic we haven't seen used)
