Hey! Thank you for treating Ron like a real person who deserves to be loved and supported by people who care about him. It could have been really easy to make him just a punching bag but all of you do a great job of making him feel real. This episode was proof of that.
How DARE you Anthony Burch?! I was expecting a ha-ha moment where the "Mummy" is a "mommy" unrelated to the dads and she ends up taking over the orphan fighting league... What I got was sour irony and a kick in the guts when the theme song kicked in while the moms are finally put to rest. T_T That being said, it was a very good episode and twist. I need emotional recovery now.

I know this is old but I wanted to say thank you for these timestamps as I've seen you on every episode so far and nobody has said so yet so thank you.
Danm. Brutal episode. "I knew cristals fucking work". I think that and the "Thats why I stick to Disney rides" are the one things keeping me from breaking down crying. Props, this is a masterclass in how to write an emotionally wrenching story. Ron's letter was amazing.
You didn’t have to make me cry you know. I was on the road, driving home from work, and suddenly I’m crying at a green light like a fucking baby while this is blaring through my speakers!
Episodes like these make me apprehensive to be a DM, to be honest. Because you never want to railroad players, but on the other hand what if you plan out something huge and amazing like this? I mean such massive emotional payoff. And then what if they had just decided to drop the matches without confronting the mummies at all and just set everything on fire, lol? How would Anthony have reacted? I don't know how I'd feel if all my planning literally went up in smoke like that. Just the risk alone feels too much for me.
It's kind of funny that earlier in the episode he says "okay you can't just keep making rolls, the console breaks" but then with the mummies he's like "I will let you make a third perception check if you get a little closer" LOL.... he was probably getting so nervous they wouldn't notice the letters
Thank god they have the Nokia to try to warn someone before this can happen- but how Horrendous that they lost two of their only connections to the outside world trying to figure out what was going on…
I love the new lore that Glenn knows bardic ninjutsu I also got to the letters right as I was about to get on a bus so that’s gonna have to wait til I get home and can lock myself in the bathroom hoo boy (hahaaaaaa that was the right decision holy shit)
DnD DMs be like, "How much emotional trauma can I fit into one package?"
*slaps car* so much trauma

The “I knew crystals fucking worked” stopped me from fully crying thank you😂😭

16:15 you're right Ron, he could've been a lot of things
19:02 Anthony still doesn't know the difference of investigation vs perception (you'll get there it's okay)

If you don’t cry when Ron reads his letter then you’re not a real man.
I didn't cry tho
Thanks for my gander confirmation... Like a true enby my eyes did "sweat "a bit after when the IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT started playing
@@harpeowl The theme song does hit differently after this episode.
@@NWolfsson yep I feel like it does every episode truly interesting song choice
Late to the party listening to these but my god.. this ep hit me right in the feels. First thing I did was drive home and hug my wife.
They spent TWENTY YEARS waiting for them.
oh my god. the end literally gave me emotional whiplash
Ron had me crying and glen raked it in with some humor. I’m on shambles. A roller coaster, literally.
I kinda wish that Glenn's DILFs of Disney focus post was the one that Darryl was in.
24:10 "2020's off to a good start"
The way this episode ended feels like Anthony knew something about what was to come. Heartbreak to prepare us for the pain ahead

God I forgot about this episode and it’s contents until he mentioned the note and god I started crying
oh. my. fucking. god.
Anthony you outdid yourself with this one
I literally love finger tutting I didn’t realize it was so niche it was so cool utilized in the tv show the magicians
Hilariously, as the bosses of the intern, the dads feel more evil in this episode than the entire rest of the show. 😅
bruh.. i just started sobbing when Ron read his letter.. i cant right now.. my god
Phenomenal opening by Ron. I’m convinced that’s the internship I’m looking for!
I can’t find it anywhere, have they ever gone out and said what Daryl’s letter said
Yeah! It's somewhere in episode 67, I believe 🧐
Then at 59:30, Doug in the cart is playing with the pack of matches, fails a dex roll, and drops a lit one right onto the oil soaked matches.
This is the most impactful scene I have ever experienced
Im crying oh my god. what an episode
I fucking love Mercedes
That last part makes me tear up every time.
Wrap a terniquette A few inches next to the poison bite to stop the poison from going too far into the blood stream and you have a much better time.
You didn’t have to make me cry you know. I was on the road, driving home from work, and suddenly I’m crying at a green light like a fucking baby while this is blaring through my speakers!
God, the absolute GUT punches in this show, what have I gotten myself into
What a powerful episode
My sister brought me into this and I can't get out of it
tears... TEARS!!!! F**kin TEARS!!!
“That’s the most damage of any dad joke. 2020 is off to a good start.”
Hm.
I cry EVERYTIME I hear this episode.
Classic podcast

WHOA! This ended a lot more fucked up and a lot less funny than I expected.
RIght in the feels. Doesn't seem like it will be all right...
Thank god they have the Nokia to try to warn someone before this can happen- but how Horrendous that they lost two of their only connections to the outside world trying to figure out what was going on…
I woke up from me accidentally falling asleep for like 40 minutes when THAT happened (you know what)
That was definitely a wake up call 💀
God damnit i teared up b******** but thank God for freedie at the end then, much love guys x
WHAT THE FUCK ANTHONY 59:58
This is a really good episode!
Um, ackthuly, snake venom isn’t necessarily specifically poisonous to drink, so… totally legit that a magic snake would be. 😂
almost cried during this one- this was so good!!
The ending was absolutley beautiful!
Im actually crying at work
Going for a re-listen and I'm crying at work again.
I love the new lore that Glenn knows bardic ninjutsu
I also got to the letters right as I was about to get on a bus so that’s gonna have to wait til I get home and can lock myself in the bathroom hoo boy (hahaaaaaa that was the right decision holy shit)
My heart is in fucking shards how dare you
Until this point I've never cried at a podcast .. noo. Not the wives
Not me crying in the shower typing this 😭
That hurt me.
I want to know what Daryl's letter said so bad.
this title is amazing
whata fucking end!
48:54 I know
dude......
WOW 😮 BRAVO 👏👏👏
No I'm not ok....😢
holy shit
Bro
I’m speechless
