    To get overly analytical but this scene here is the difference between Matt Mercer and Brennan lee Mulligan. (If you came here looking for hate for one gtfo)
    Matt would have taken that "i think her name was bolo" comment and flipped it on Sam, giving her a similar name and reinforcing that Loquacious is a sleaze. Or like Marisha says "maybe it means hello. This preserves world integrity and keeps tone consistent and still sets up a funny moment, but the humor more comes from just how shitty loquacious is.
    Brennan on the other hand will let a player dig their oen grave. "Hello, my name Bolo." No switchup, no curveball, no change up just straight faced. Its big "is that 22 Hilda Boulevard or Street, when someone named Hilda Hilda just said their street name IS hilda. The humor NOW is bathos, we expect the world stay consistent. It almost shockingly funny, look at travis, this was way out of left field.for the CR team.
    Its the same way when Matt when on d20 and everyone wasile "AHHH NAT20 I SUCCEED" and he was like "mmmm, actually no." And then everyone was like "👀👀👀 oh you mean there isnt a 5% chance that whatever i want to happens happens? Let me aporaoch this carefully." And the tone is a bit more serious in his hands. In D20 its almost predictable atp, everyone is always so excited for 20'z but really, now that everyone just gets crazy successes it creates a more adventurous tone but it isnt grounded or serious because of how zany they let the 20's be.
    All of this to say both are masters of their craft and i love them both for their differences please everyone stop comparing them.
