Starting point is 00:00:00 Simon Griner! Eden Lacey as I live and breathe! As why I see you've got your Yulma's voice on. Why yes I do indeed and you yours! Yes that's true, that's right. Well, it's wonderful that I ran into you tonight. Well it's wonderful I ran into you tonight. Well it's wonderful I ran into you. No it's wonderful I ran into you.
Starting point is 00:00:17 It's wonderful I ran into you because I got you a present. I got you a present! I got you a present! I got you a present! I got you one you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have. No you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have. You shouldn't have. Well, here you go. Here you go. This is for you.
Starting point is 00:00:27 This is for you. Thank you very much. And what do we have here? Why, a 20 sided dice. Oh. You shouldn't have. You shouldn't have. You shouldn't have. I hope it's not cursed.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Lovely stuff. Lovely stuff. Hello. Hello. Hello. So nice to run into you all. I see you've got armor on. Wonderful.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Do you know what, Simon? Tell me, Eden. Tell me what? I was thinking that it's beginning to look a lot like Eulmus. Why, Eden, I couldn't agree with you more. It's beginning to look a lot like Eulmus. Gifts inside my sack. on like humorous gifts inside my sack Dave and Ben put away
Starting point is 00:01:30 their notes, it's canonically all been wrote and now it's time that fro-yo gets unpacked it's beginning to look a lot like humorous it's barely D&D
Starting point is 00:01:46 your fun uncles they are DMs so come join your dragon friends as they fight some sort of giant Christmas bee it's a bummer I know but a musical show is not what this one's going to be
Starting point is 00:02:01 Tom's so TikTok liked his prices have hiked up astronomically. Original song costs too much, we just get parody. This is the only song tonight. Sorry. It's beginning to look a lot like Yulmas everywhere you go.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Enjoy your festive repast. It's going to be a bust With Bobby, Baston, Filch, and Frizzo It's beginning to look a lot like you must Check the news reports But the prettiest sight to see in this merry jubilee is two boys in shorts
Starting point is 00:02:58 so it's you must watch So it's your mess once more Lex Lee, Ben Jenkins, Dave Harmon, and Dave Harmon. That's the musical portion of the show, Out of the Way. Thank you very much. Picture, if you will, a sleigh bell. A cold, hard, metallic ball. A single sleigh bell, all on its own, does not so much jingle as offer an anemic tinny rattle.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Not even a jangle, really. Only when clustered together like so many holy berries do sleigh bells truly sing, twinkling and glittering in our ears as their tiny peals mingle and overlap. So it is with hearts, especially during the holiday season, for one's heart to truly ring during Yulma's time, it needs to be surrounded by others. It is a time for family and friends and song and laughter. Now, as a matter of cold contrast, picture, if you will, our dear friend Friso.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Hello. If anyone can be said to have a single sleigh bell for a heart, well, here you go, guys. Sad, solitary, selfish, scummy, snobby, sad, sinister, sad, suspicious, sad, sad, Friso. A single swatch of sheet metal scrunched into a near sphere around a small, cold, hard ball bearing sits in his chest.
Starting point is 00:04:53 But will it ring? Can it ring? Can the heart of an orphan truly be made to chime? Well, we shall see. For today, at the persistent prodding of his only living relative, his cousin Froyo, Friso is being forced to attend the family Yulmus celebrations of every single other
Starting point is 00:05:15 dragon friend. And so we open. Friso sits alone in his bachelor's apartment with the lights off like a psychopath. Waiting for the doorbell to ring. That's unfair because LED lights from a computer are lights so it's not a complete darkness.
Starting point is 00:05:35 What do you think Froyo's bachelor apartments look like? Friso's bachelor apartments? I imagine it's very sparse. I imagine it's got whatever the equivalent of pop Funkos are. Sorry, Funko Pops. Sorry. Yeah, it's got Funko Pops of the king and queen and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And then obviously there's a hyperbaric chamber for him to wank in. You know, that's about it. That's awesome. But Friezo, is Freyo in the apartment with him? No. So the doorbell rings? Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring Go away!
Starting point is 00:06:07 Friso, I know you're in there I can hear the dulcet tones of your strange fantasy video games I don't want to go out today I said I was coming over I said I was coming over I'm not going out I'm just going to open the door I have gastro.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Just for the people who are already disenfranchised from this entire evening. Friso. Oh, they're gone. Yes, they're gone. All right. They're cousins. That's all. Friso, I said that I was coming over and I told you to get ready at eight. We have a packed itinerary today.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I ate a really big burrito this morning. I find that very hard to believe. I had a Yulmus burrito. What was in it? It was cinnamon and reindeer. I don't want to be rude. And the salsa, it was eggnog. And now my tummies are rumbling and I don't want to go to Christmas. I hear what you're saying, and I don't want to be rude,
Starting point is 00:07:07 but this entire apartment is filled only with, like, old chips and your own matter. That's eggnog. I promise you it's eggnog. You got the same invites as I. We're going out. We're going to go and visit all of your co-workers, the dragon friends. We're going to have a great gay old time.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Sure. All right. I'll go with you if you have an eggnog with me. I'm not going to do that. Come on. No, I'll just go by myself. That is absolutely a line in the sand. Friso spoons out an eggnog into a martini glass.
Starting point is 00:07:49 From what? I guess like a medical... Anyway, so Simon and Eden, I'm just going to roll a persuasion check. Yeah, go for it. That is a 20, baby. I'm a... It's a natural 20. I'm going to oppose that
Starting point is 00:08:05 Chug a lager baby With a wisdom saving throw That is a 23 But mine was natural So if I add to it It wasn't a maths 20 Persuasion My persuasion
Starting point is 00:08:19 Simon please don't make me drink It's a natural 20 Dave You can't fight the laws of T&D My charisma's off the fucking chain bro It's a natural 20, Dave. You can't fight the laws of D&D. My charisma's off the fucking chain, bro. Ah, okay. It's a Yulmus beverage. That's like 27 if I add. In the spirit of the season, I will drink.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yep, let me just. Yeah, okay, wow. Can you roll for lactose intolerance? Well, that one's a one. You'll be at a disadvantage until such time as you have some electrolytes. And so the cousins set forth on what is a pleasant journey
Starting point is 00:08:59 despite the frequent stops for Froyo's lactose-induced shitting fits. Shit fits? Shit fits. A pleasant journey, that is, until you round a bend and are greeted by a gruesome scene. A great, snowy battlefield littered with corpses. As your sleigh pulls you along... Sorry, the world building, but we walked from a house to a battlefield? You went As your sleigh pulls you along. Sorry, I'm the world building,
Starting point is 00:09:26 but we walked from a house to a battlefield. You went in the sleigh! It was a pleasant journey day! Go with me! There were frequent stops. You know how hard this is. You were shitting yourself. You were shitting!
Starting point is 00:09:36 Get in the world! You might have been in a dissociative state because you were shitting so powerfully. You might not have remembered it, but Friso had a lovely time. Have you ever shat so powerfully. You might not have remembered it, but Friso had a lovely time. Have you ever shat so much that time just warps? Have I been here 30 minutes or 30 seconds? Yeah, who can say?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Anyway, battlefield, little bit with the corpses. As your sleigh pulls you along, the cawing of crows fills the air. Thank you, thank you, thank you air as they pick at the half-frozen corpses. As you crest a low hill, you see below you, surrounded by wickedly sharpened
Starting point is 00:10:16 stakes, a tent or a yurt or pavilion of some sort. Let's go with your world building. Built from the tusks and hides of some sort. Let's go with your world building. Built from the tusks and hides of some great beast. A heavy curtain hangs
Starting point is 00:10:32 across the tent's entrance. Now you did bring the present, right? Did I bring the present? I don't know. Sure, okay, yeah I did. You knew you were coming. We're going to visit all of the dragon friends. I told you to bring gifts. I've got a gift.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Do you want to go in on my gift? What gift do you have, Dave? I've got a battle axe, but it's wrapped up to make it look like a shovel. Oh, very nice. Well, I've got a gift card that Froyo gave Friso a year earlier. So it's a little bit awkward that you're seeing this. You didn't do that masterclass, huh? Well, I didn't do the masterclass.
Starting point is 00:11:12 No, I didn't. I'm sorry. But I will get to it. How to meet people and talk like a normal fucking person. I was a bit offended that you got me that masterclass, if I'm honest. It's hosted by Elon Musk. Do you pull back the curtain? Do you enter? Yes, we do.

Starting point is 00:11:43 Hey, guys. And looming behind her, standing a full foot taller than she, with knife-sharp tusks protruding from her jaw, is the hulking, green-skinned figure of Orc Warchief Gorkon, also known as Filch's mum. Hey, guys. You travel far or you just look bad? Like naturally.

Starting point is 00:18:22 Will you guys come with me? Yep. Okay. You pull back the curtain and beyond the tent you see a scene even more disturbing than the battlefield outside.
Starting point is 00:18:37 A delightful Tuscan villa style patio complete with terrazzo bench tops, barbecue and wood firedfired pizza oven. And around that tasteful yet practical outdoor kitchen, suitable for all your entertaining needs,
Starting point is 00:18:53 are not one, but four human men. Each of them married to Gorkon. And each of them buying... Each of them married to Gorkon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So canonically, for those of you, it's your first time. Filger's mom is called Gorkon, and she made sweet love to her father, a human male,
Starting point is 00:19:13 and then she ate him. Right? After he cheated on her with a fairy. Yeah, true, true, true. So now she's remarried four times. She has a harem. She's got a harem. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Of stepdads. Of stepdads, okay. Now, stepdads. The sexiest kind of harem. So the stepdad, stepdad number one comes up to you, Phil, and he's like, hey, Phil, just me, Gary, your second stepdad. I just wanted to say that, you know, me and your mum, you know, we really, I just love your mum. And you know that you are important to me. And just, I actually watched this really interesting documentary the other day. Yeah, cool, Gary.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Name one thing about me. You're Gorkon's daughter and her favourite daughter. And the world's actually flat, which is crazy, right? It's just a very, very reputable source. It was actually... I mean, wait, is it in this world?
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, exactly. And that's why... But the thing, my far outers opinion is that it's round, actually. That's... That's what I misinterpreted. Yeah, it's actually
Starting point is 00:20:21 a sphere floating... That bullshit... Gary, you're full of shit. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You're far off the edge if Earth is round. Nah. That actually a sphere floating. That bullshit. Gary, you're full of shit. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You'll fall off the edge if Earth is round. Nah. That's a good point. Nah, because there's gravity.
Starting point is 00:20:32 There's kind of like a centrifugal Omri thing in my opinions now. This bit is going to end with Eden becoming a flat Earth. I actually did start to watch that documentary once. And I am a flat he was so convinced the dudes like I shouldn't be able to see that it's flat and I was like you shouldn't be allowed to watch stuff like that you're very suggestible I shouldn't know we're gonna put parental controls back on Eden's YouTube account yeah you got to it's getting too weird in there. Watch how many World War II documentaries. And what...
Starting point is 00:21:08 Do you think the right people won World War II? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just watched the cool ones. How's your memorabilia collection going? I've got some good stuff. I've got some bayonets. Yeah, cool. Yeah, so look, if you could put a good word for
Starting point is 00:21:23 you know, in for me with your a good word for, you know, in for me with your mum, because every night, you know, she's all about the fuck, marry, kill thing, and she does all three. Every night? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just hoping that I can stick around for longer than the average of three days.
Starting point is 00:21:39 But she's a powerful, powerful woman, yeah. What do you see in my mother, Gorkon? Why do you love her? She's a powerful, powerful woman, yeah. What do you see in my mother, Gorkon? Why do you love her? She's so big. She's the largest woman I've ever seen. And honestly, when those arms wrap around me, I've never felt so small. You know, it's hard to get that from any kind of human, male or female, to be honest. She's eight foot.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And hear me, a paltry five,9", 5'10", on a good day, if I'm lying on a fantasy dating app. But, hey, you've got to be in there. 5'9", 5'10", it's a big difference, isn't it, psychologically? Is it? Do you think it matters? I've obviously put too much thought into it. Sure thing, character.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah, thank you. I'm just going to go and caramelise some onions. Gary? Wait, you're going to caramelise onions now? You can't caramelise onions just before they have to go out. That's not how it works. Caramelising onions takes time.
Starting point is 00:22:47 No, no, you put them on the pizza and then you put it in the oven. It's not going to caramelise on the pizza. You're fucking kidding me. What do you fucking think? It's an oven, you dipshit. You have got to give a minimum 30 minutes to caramelise onions. Preferably, you want to give a full 90 minutes so that they just caramelise naturally.
Starting point is 00:23:03 No brown sugar, no nothing. Phil, Phil, settle this argument for us. Who are you? I'm Darren. How are you, Filge? Nice to finally meet you. I tell you what, do you like anime?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Do you? Oh, yeah, I love anime. I love anime and the manja. I hear all the kids have... I mean, I didn anime. I love anime and the manja. And I hear all the kids have... I mean, I didn't grow up on anime and manja. Mine was more like a Western kind of style of manja. Darren. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:23:35 Would you like me to just give you the wedgie now and get this over with? Well, I understand that in your culture, that's just a wonderful sign of respect. I dack him. Mary Yulmus, everybody. I'm really beginning to feel like part of the family. And as I was saying, I had a kind of a...
Starting point is 00:23:57 A girl shouldn't have to see her stepdad's dick. This is fucked. Oh, I don't have a penis. I'm just smooth and flat down there, as you can plainly see if you took the time to have a look. A bloody doppelganger. Is Darren a golem? I am a eunuch. By choice.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Means I can concentrate on the ladies' pleasure more. Oh, Darren. We don't want to hear that about me mum. What's that? We don't want to hear that about me mum. Hey, Phil. Darren, he very good. I mean, I'm just hoping that like,
Starting point is 00:24:31 I mean, honestly, you don't want to avoid the whole thing. I'm really just hoping to get eaten. That's kind of my thing, if you know what I mean. What about your friends? What do your friends think about the world being round? It almost certainly is. No, no. The world is flat, always has been, always will be.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Travelled around in a fair bit. Anyone who thinks the world is round, very stupid in my opinion. Well, what if anyone who thinks the world is flat is stupid? Yeah, that's basically what Frizo said. No, no, he said the opposite. And frankly, I'd never considered that before. Maybe I've been the fool. No.
Starting point is 00:25:12 It was you. So there are a couple of other stepdads floating around. And one of them comes over and... Is he talking to Filch? Whatever he's doing. He could be caramelising onions. And he says... Hello, Filch!
Starting point is 00:25:31 Hello! It's me. Mwah! What? Your name? Mwah! What? That's just a noise. Mwah! It's spelt... B-O-H-O-A-H-R. Oh.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Boo. You know, it's very funny, Ben, that you're the one in this podcast that gets shit for not knowing many voices. I know that your mother and I have only been together for 12 years. And it's not long when you're my age, which is 10,000 years old. But I want you to know I think of you like a stepdaughter, because that's what you are. Phil, I'd like you to just roll a constitution check for me just to see how your psychic damage is going.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Oh, Phil just feeling very troubled. Plus, she also got one of those Yulma special burritos earlier today. So factor that in. What am I testing? Constitution. Oh, yeah, that's a 20. Nice. That's a 20.

Starting point is 00:27:36 You just came over there to say that to her? Yeah, I just came over to say that she's good and I'm bloody with her, you know? And so if that's to be a problem, then you can hit the road, Jack. Excuse me? I'm sorry to interrupt. I didn't say this before, but I'm also good at pleasuring your mother.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Can you all line up in order of who's the best at pleasuring my mother? Oh, well, that's the guy with no dick. That's me. Definitely the guy with no dick. G'day. Yeah, definitely the guy with no dick. G'day, Phil. I didn't want to get in, but if we're lining up for Pleasuring Your Mother, I think I'm in with a chance.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Who are you? It's Trevor. You remember me from last year. Didn't come to my band. My band, we did it. I've been sending you some pigeons. Have you seen them? Yes, me get your pigeons.
Starting point is 00:28:25 They say you don't open this pigeon in ten days. A terrible curse will happen. And the terrible curse happened. I'm doing nightly gigs at the local, the Swan and Peanut. And I don't want to tell you now, but we've got a lot of t-shirts so if you've got any of the little friends could come along it's quite cool oh my friend fro you actually he loved um the acid um acid folk rap medley folk rap medley that you guys do and I think uh yeah he said he gonna come he said he swear on his life and if he don't go, he'd kill himself.

Starting point is 00:29:26 Well, look, it didn't happen last year, but maybe this year's the year. Will you look at the time? Friso and Froyo, you look at your, what I presume are sundial watches, and you turn to, you consult your astrolabe and turn to the requisite part of the sky such that they read correctly for the time of day that it is. And you see that it is time to go to your next appointment. As they go, I say, Frieza, thank you so much for stopping in.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Me, obviously, have living nightmare on my hands. Me have so much therapy. To go to, I mean, could you maybe just make this a little bit simple for me and do a little, you know, little Frieza special on the way out? You know, zappy zappy, fire rich fire rich. Hang on. I've misinterpreted things you've said before. So just be very clear.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Do you want me to kill all of your stepdads except for that old charming man? man. Not only do me want that, because actually me think me mum doesn't even want to be with men. You know, I think you need to just clear these stepdads out of her life and just let her go
Starting point is 00:30:37 and explore the possibilities. Okay. So yeah, just roast them up and then can me come wherever you're going? I think we were heading To Bobby's next Or some such So sure Stepdads
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yes Not you Okay The rest of you Would you join me In the bathroom I have a magic trick I want to show you
Starting point is 00:30:59 Oh Magic Wow Now this better not be About poo Oh, and all of a sudden... Oh, magic? Wow! Now, this better not be about poo. Friso locks him in the bathroom and casts summon greater demon, and then we go to Bobby's. Oh, good day.
Starting point is 00:31:15 You aren't a filcher's friend. Ah! Ah! And as the... It sounds like he's having a rough poo. And as the blood-curdling screams of a man being ripped to shreds, in fact, three men being ripped to shreds, besides that delightful old man.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I've been reading the Kama Sutra. Until he too gets ripped to shreds, such that Gorkon can go on and live her life and explore her newfound freedom. You get on your sleigh and it's an uneventful journey, except for Froyo, the regular shitty... I'm actually feeling much better. Until you're not...
Starting point is 00:31:56 Why don't you roll for it? No, I think I passed the worst of it. You passed it? Roll a constitution check. I'll roll a constitution check. See if you've got that lactose intolerant. That is an 18. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:08 All right, well, you only take two stops. And it's solid again. It's Merry Christmas. A Christmas miracle. And alighting from your sleigh, Friso and Froyo, you climb the rickety steps of a small wooden cottage, and you see
Starting point is 00:32:30 upon the door a large round flat knocker attached to it. What do I roll for a knock check? As you touch it, the ancient door creaks open. And hitting you in the face is the stench of decay.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I realised the last scene started with a stench of decay, but this one also starts with a stench of decay. Hey, man, it's a good stench. Yeah, right. In fantasy, it's like top five stenches. What are the other four? Yeah, what are the other ones? The corpulence of atrophy,
Starting point is 00:33:11 the miasma of wickedness, the ephemera of despair, and the aroma of jizz. Those are the most common. If you just go through Tolkien, it's... I can't believe he wrote a seven-minute dwarf song about the aroma of jizz, frankly. Because that's what Bilbo Baggins likes. And mixed with all these scents
Starting point is 00:33:36 is the smell of mummified humbug lollies and decomposing doilies. The smell of an old person's home. Or rather, the home of an old person. Hmm. Makes you think. One Agatha pumpkin, nay pancakes, aren't to a certain Robert pancakes. Known to you dragon friends as Bobby,
Starting point is 00:34:05 who appears in front of you. Hey, guys. Happy Yolmas. Bobby, it's stinking here. Yeah, I know. You've got to get that ephemera sorted out. I mean, it's better than the other four, but... Guys, can I ask you first and foremost to take off your shoes, please? Just put them in this special cabinet here.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And don't wear shoes off this particular mat here at the front. This is very important. Simon, can I just say it's really obvious that you've been living with your mother for the last six months. Happy Yulemas, Bobby. We're so glad. Thank you for inviting us to your wonderful home. I've got a little gift for you actually oh thanks
Starting point is 00:34:45 here you go it's a shovel oh great I'll just put it in the corner here oh open it up this is actually my aunt is very particular
Starting point is 00:34:58 she thinks presents are wasteful so actually just leave it outside the door oh do I hear the crackle of wrapping paper thinks presents are wasteful. So actually, just leave it outside the door. Oh. Do I hear the crackle of wrapping paper?
Starting point is 00:35:10 Ah! No, Auntie. Bobby, I got you this certificate, so it won't make any noise, but here you go. I just fling it outside the window. Oh. Okay, never mind. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I'll get that later. That's really nice. And waddling into the hallway is a halfling, Oh! Okay, never mind. I'm so sorry, I'll get that later. That's really nice. And waddling into the hallway is a halfling, an old woman halfling. So she's even smaller than a regular halfling. Oh, a quarterling. She's a quarterling. And she's, oh, oh, your friends are here.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Well, you're very late. You've missed dinner completely. Oh. Sorry, we eat at 10.30am? Yeah. I'm so sorry, I forgot. You eat dinner at 10.30am? Yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:35:51 So we can be in bed by midday. Yep, yep. There must be some mistake. The invitation said by the 10th hour. Yeah, well. I'm Froyo. Thank you for inviting me to your house. Oh, hello.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Ooh, are you okay? You look very poorly. I'm much better now. Do you for inviting me to your house. Oh, hello. Ooh, are you okay? You look very poorly. I'm much better now. Do you normally look like this? No, I think that people are being unkind about my complexion. I've decided I'm fine and that the bit is over. So I think I look fine now. I feel positively sprightly next to you.
Starting point is 00:36:23 You know what? I think this is the protestation of a man who may have shit himself today. I'm just going to go back to the bathroom. Thank you for having me in your wonderful house. This is my neighbour. This is my neighbour. The magic of invention. This is my neighbour.
Starting point is 00:36:42 This is my neighbour. He keeps saying it. Yes, he's Jeremy Jerkoff. Jerkoffsky. You teach improv. Yeah. And this is how you do it, baby. This is how it is.
Starting point is 00:37:03 I mean, it's no Edward Pease, man. It would be so funny if someone was in this show tonight and was like, I was going to go and do ITS classes, but now I've just died. You couldn't think of literally any name in the world. Yeah, I did. The fact that their name is Jeremy Jerkoff. Jeremy Jerkoff. Jerkoffski.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Jerkoffski. Jeremy Jerkoff. Pleasure to meet you, obviously. He's my neighbour. He doesn't have anyone else, so he comes round for Christmas. So, Jeremy Jerkoff, of the... Jerkoffski. From the Haberfield Jerkoffs? From the Jerkoffskis.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Bro-Yo pokes his head around from the toilet. The Haberfield Jerkoffski is the hero? Yes, well, obviously. Yes, from that lineage. Wait, the people who have the huge wealth and money from the jerk-off bank? You basically invented magic. It's an honour to meet you. Well, yes, I didn't really think I'd have to do any talking.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Can I just say, the jerk-off hotels are... Yes, they're very good. Have you... What are the six principles? What are... I remember, I read a book once about the six principles of hospitality as decreed by the jerk-off
Starting point is 00:38:22 hotels. What were they again? Well, honestly, if you... Number... And this was set down by my grandfather, obviously. Horatio Jerkoff? Horatio... Horatio Handjob Jerkoff. The fourth A.
Starting point is 00:38:41 The six principles, yes. The six principles. Number one. Say hello. Sure. I mean, that's just... They felt more inspiring when I read, but maybe the other five were really good.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Why is everybody in the hallway coming to the parlour? It's time for party games. Number two. Guys, yeah, great. You arrived just in time for party games. Number two. Guys, yeah, great. You arrived just in time for party games. Please just bear with us.
Starting point is 00:39:14 It's my favourite. If you lose, you get sucked through the portal. No one knows what's beyond, but it's hopefully death. Oh yes, what a sweet release that would be. No one knows what's beyond, but it's hopefully death. Oh, yes. What a sweet release that would be. Ah, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:29 What do you think? Every year I beg for death. Every year I think, what's my present this year? Could it be being yeeted into the portal? No, it's a tie. Thank you for the tie, by the portal. And no, it's a tie. Thank you for the tie, by the way. Horatio, obviously the scene's moved on, but if you could tell me the other four.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Number three! Well, number one is say hello. Number two, of course, is give him a handy... You know what? I'm fine. Alright. So these are the rules.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Obviously, it's standard real world celebrity head. Alright? So we're going to put a name on... Is this still Dungeons and Dragons? Of course it fucking is. I've got a dice. Look at me. Dice, dice, dice, dice, dice.
Starting point is 00:40:29 But we've replaced the dice with celebrity heads. Okay. So what's going to happen is we're going to go down the line. And for the listeners, right now Simon is taping celebrity cardboard heads. Oh, I forgot this was a podcast when we planned to do... I just thought I would remind the podcast audience. I absolutely... In some ways, our most accessible episode for new listeners. To the tens of thousands of people who cannot see what is happening
Starting point is 00:40:59 but can listen to what is happening, Simon is taping celebrity head cardboard strips to our heads to some little bandanas. And I am doing a backflip. Whee! Yeah, I guess if we're doing that, it is weird that Ben got his little willy out for that, but that's cool.
Starting point is 00:41:16 A weird little dick out makes it easier to do a backflip. Oh, I've got tape on my head. Right, so what happens is... Oh, boy! I didn't see it, I didn't see it. So it's going to be standard celebrity head rules. Everyone's here is going to help us with the yes or no. The questions you ask must be yes or no answers, right?
Starting point is 00:41:37 If it's a yes, you get to ask another question. If it's a no, it moves down the line to the next person. Five wrong answers, you get sucked through the portal to certain death. And just again for the podcast audience, what is the broad category of celebrity heads? I would say alienating our entire new audience. Does this require us on stage to listen to the podcast,
Starting point is 00:42:04 dragon friends? Does this require us on stage to listen to the podcast, Dragon Friends? You know what else is incredible? I guess the... And again, I don't... Guys, you can just go to the bathroom, honestly. Okay, guys, so these are magic celebrity heads' headbands and they will pull from your life and the life of your adventures people that you are definitely bound to know.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Where does this sit in the timeline? But what about this fucking random guy? Like, does he listen to the fucking podcast? Absolutely he does. He's a big fan. Oh, that's why he wants to die. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Starting with Friso. Friso. Okay, my first question is, am I alive? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Am I human?
Starting point is 00:42:57 No. Okay, Alex, your turn. Am I a friend or enemy of the dragon? Wait, am I a friend of the dragon friends? Yes Did the dragon friends respect this person? Yes Very much so

Starting point is 00:47:09 We need a name. We need a name. Curse this podcast and its stupid names. Is my name... It's probably something stupid and fantasy. Like, is my name like Arthuria? No. No. Montaigne my name like Arthuria? No. Montaigne invented it, just so you remember.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Was I right? Montaigne invented the name for the character. Is that a no? We're taking that as a no? We've got two names. It's got two names. It's no idea. We'll take either.
Starting point is 00:47:37 These are the five plus three people in the room who don't listen to the podcast. Am I live? Yes. Yeah. It was never really established. I think so. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:47:54 There wasn't a death scene, so I would count that as alive. And it's fantasy, so no one ever really does. Am I a companion to Filch? No. Officially. Not Filch. Not Filch specifically. You're a companion to Filch? No. Officially. Not Filch. Not Filch specifically. You're a companion to all of us.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Oh, wait. It's a no? Has it been? I got a no. Yeah, you got a no. Am I a small and insignificant side character? Sort of. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:22 I'll give you a clue. You were played by a special guest. Oh. Am I a robot? No. Can I have a clue? Yes you can. One time you took off two days from school to try and suck your own dick. That's a good clue. Canon. That is canon.

Starting point is 00:49:22 Correct. All right. Dave, how about you? I'm so fucking confused Johnny PlayStation would definitely be killed by a knife in the street I thought he became some sort of powerful phoenix, didn't he? He's like a weird cyber god Okay, Dave, Dave

Starting point is 00:50:24 But if you've really listened to the podcast You might know it That is The most awful thing You have ever said to me If you'd really paid attention If you cared about this podcast Dave Alex
Starting point is 00:50:43 I didn't ask a question. Sorry, Dave. Go, go, go. I'm just assuming you won't get it. Does my character like Michael Hing the person? Doubt it. I think Michael Hing the person is not on this character's radar at all. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:00 There was a controversy a couple of years ago, so... Oh, that's true. I might know about some things I'm involved with. Yeah. Ah. Baffling. Does my character wear a suit? No.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Occasionally. Ah, no. There's no law against it. I guess so. Ah. Wait, so we said in my case, I just struggle to think of anyone the dragon friends universally respect. That's why it's a very special character in all of our hearts.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Would you like a big hint? A big-ish hint? Yeah. It's one of the only NPCs that we've ever made merch for. Sally Gunbear? Okay, I'm sorry. There's a bar. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:51:59 Final guesses You can ask a question and have a guess Is my character... Someone in the audience is doing mime. Does anyone else in the audience want to do a little mime for me? Okay, each person gets one mime. Someone's doing a crocodile snap. Two people are doing crocodile snaps.

But alas, the celebrity game... So not in season six then?
Starting point is 00:54:07 No. Not yet. No, in Tokyo, in the limousine. But alas, the celebrity head game had gone on so long and alienated so many podcast listeners that eldritch energies began to swirl and the portal opened. And being sucked through it.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Friso, Frojo, and Filge. And Filge, but not Bobby. Because he had to stay and do the dishes for his auntie. Because she's elderly. And he didn't want to leave her alone on Yulmurs. Because that's what it is. Swirling and crackling. Where will the portal lead?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Will it lead to more parlor games? I promise not. But find out on the next episode of the Dragon Friends Humor Special! Thank you, everybody. Woo! I don't want to shit on this idea too much because you've clearly put a lot of effort into the craft of it, but I guess the entertainment value of Celebrity Hands is the people watching know the answer
Starting point is 00:55:26 and can understand the foolishness of the questions that are being asked. But again, the people listening to this... Well, let's just say, I mean... Have no idea about this. We're going to cut in on that and we'll talk to Hugh. Can you just jump in before here and just say on the podcast whoever he is? Yeah, just subtitle the podcast. Yeah, this feels like a Hugh problem.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It's fine. But Hugh, if you're going to do it, do it in a funny accent. All right. So Bobby is playing Games Master and he says...
