A rotating hero!
Welcome back to the Rotating Heroes podcast. I am joined, as always, so far, for the very second time, by the rotators of the Sixth Arc. From right to left this time, why don't we start with our guest, Dan Lippert. Hello, as always, so far. It's a thing I mistakenly said in the first arc that I have said every single time since. I like it.
Dan, how are you feeling? Feeling good. I'm feeling excited. I'm feeling full. Full, yes. Not stuffed though. I'll say that. Behind the scenes, we had lunch between last app and this app. Sometimes a burger lunch will stuff me. I feel full. I don't feel stuffed.
Okay, there's a distinction there. Stuffed is too much, full is maybe just right. I think so. I feel like the little bear. Oh, the little bear. Dan's big bummers. Well, moving right along, Grant O'Brien, how are you? I'm feeling good. If we're drawing back the curtain a little bit, I wonder if it's strange for the audience to realize that the episode they heard we did in the same day, but their lives have progressed dramatically
Weeks now. They've aged considerably. I'm wondering if people are still saying Happy New Year as they're listening to this episode. That's a good question. Or if they're saying, oh, my check, I wrote 2021. Right. I can't believe seeing writing 2022 is crazy. Probably a lot of specials like, over a year since the interaction. Yeah, that's right. Oh my God, Zach, you're right.
Tell us about the over the years. And you were there storming the Capitol, right, Zach? Well, I got in there because, you know, we got to protect our patriotism. Can I tell you something? Yeah, yeah. If I were there, and I of course wouldn't have been there. Oh my God.
But if I were there, I get how someone could just be like, well, if we're all going in, I've got to go inside. The Capitol's open now. I mean, I don't know if they're all in there. I'm going to do it. I think generally I would – the thing I can't – I mean, what's the point of this conversation that I'm getting into? But the thing I can't get over is if you look around at your group and you see Confederate flags and Nazi flags, even if you thought you agreed –
Is there not a moment of pause of like, oh, maybe I'm not going in with the Nazi flag, guys. I can tell you right now from that world, I lived many years in conservative Christianity. And when you see a Nazi or Confederate flag, you're kind of like, those are the outliers. Right. You're like, oh, they're taking it a little too far. I'm praying for them, but I'm here for the right reasons. So I feel like there were some normal ass people. I mean, not normal, but...
They weren't all cuckoo crazy. There are people who skew normal and conversational. Yes. I'm personally a big look around you person.
- Yeah. - Even if I'm at a hang and I'm like, hang on a second. - It comes down to it. - It's not the people I want to be associated with. - I'm at a fucking river cleanup with my side and you're doing what? You're wiping your ass on Nancy Pelosi's phone receiver? Like, look around, honey. - There was, you know, I'm from Alabama and I knew several people that were just like, had Confederate flag-esque stuff and it was always like,
They were pretty, I felt pretty detached from the meaning in terms of just like me not flinching at it in the way that I would flinch at a Nazi flag at the time. And then with the perspective of being away from that, I'm like, oh yeah, that's really what that meant. What was the fucked up pair of board shorts that person had? Oh my God. Yeah, a cool bathing suit. Oh my God.
Oh, that's real. Well, I guess I can't think of a better intro to Ally Beardsley. You're right. We're still doing intros. You know me. You know my thoughts and my politics. I think Cool Baiting suits a good intro for you. Yeah, exactly. Cool Confederate flag board shorts is a great intro to what I'm wearing. A little peek behind the curtain, everybody.
ollie's wearing just one huge pair of board shorts they tie up at my neck
Well, guys, this is the second episode of The Arc. And why don't we get started with a little recap? Well, last time on the Rotating Heroes podcast, Nance had just gotten back into town from her adventure across the Sapphire Lakes and had little time to rest before getting started on a chilly night. Upon arriving at home, she met her roommates and their old friend, prospective dachshund owner and regional theater teacher slash paladin, John Daffodil. The two...
I don't want to say got along swimmingly, but still agreed to both help each other get some chili recipes together to have just a great night of chili. They made their way to the nearby bodega to grab some ingredients, but upon
upon arriving, realize that there's a bit of a supply shortage going on in Sollentport. Certain roads to Aberdeen and then also across the Sapphire Lakes where Nancy had just come from have lost their ability to transport goods in an easy manner and we... I'm just describing a supply shortage. Yeah.
You know, and they didn't have supplies. The ships are in the harbor affecting our air quality. Yeah, it's smog-filled city. You're Keens, used to say. Falling short at the bodega, they were given the advice to check out the more bougie farmer's market in sort of the heart of Songport near where these sort of rich upper crust people in the town lived.
Along the way, they saw a bit of a commotion and realized there was a celebrity sighting. Sago Gleg, a.k.a. Dan Lippert's character...
a lion in um multi-hyphenates uh one part of which was a restaurant reviewer uh was being flanked by adoring fans uh all seeking autographs in just a bit of his time uh this was nice for john daffodil to see as he was his old student and the three uh began to hang out and upon arriving at the farmer's market they discovered that some creepy jester dressed people had uh
Stormed the Capitol. Stormed the Capitol.
Great cliffhanger.
So as you guys approach Bunker Street, you follow where this horse and buggy had stopped. The horse is okay. The food in the back is all kind of just disgusting piles of slop at this point. Like they were, they took no care with it and it doesn't really feel like it's really that salvageable, unfortunately. But yeah, looking out into the street, there is a bit of,
a trail of cabbage and bananas into the crowd. Yum. Can I investigate the truck? Look for any clues or like a brochure, anything like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Investigation. Plus zero, great. 14. 14. You did discover the silk attire that this person was wearing that they seem to have taken off and gone into the crowd. Whoa. So... I take it into my bag.
- Okay. - I put it in the tote with cream. - It's very soft. You could make another tote out of this. - I put the hat on Cream, I take a photo and then I take it off her 'cause she hates it. - It feels possibly racist. - Oh no. - Just in the way that old Mardi Gras stuff is like, "What's going on?" - Like, okay, we are influences here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You got it.
Cream knows that and I don't. Cream ate. He eats the... But yeah, you're looking around and you see like a bunch of tourists who are none the wiser to what has just happened. People have open containers and milling about pretty drunk. You see that the trail eventually kind of goes cold in the middle of the street as you look around at all these different bars. You see...
Just to throw some out there, you see, you know, there's a bunch of famous bars around here. You have Hurricane O'Clock, Spear O'Clock somewhere, Lord Dugan's, which you remember from the second art, that was Jesse Dugan's, that piece of shit's bar. Fucking Danny's. And Ship Show, the sort of ship-themed bar. Oh, shoot. Nance, make a perception check. Okay. Okay.
12. You turn just in time to see some, this sort of sloppy looking drunk woman sprinting at you and decks you with a hug. And you realize you have been hugged by Bexy. Oh my God. Bexy, my girl. It's your girl, Bexy. Oh.
Are y'all hanging out? Oh my gosh. You look amazing. She turns around and she's like, yeah, okay.
I got the tattoo on my butt that says Old Soul Adapted and it shows you her butt and it says, truly an old soul. And it truly was an old soul. You are an old soul, Bexy. Thank you. Oh my gosh. How have you been? Are you working? What are you here for? No.
Not really working right now. I'm just sort of taking the week off. I'm Bexy. Oh, yeah. So sorry. Where are my manners? This is Bexy. We met on a ship. We still work together. We had each other's. Yeah, we really had each other's backs. We were kind of like gal pals. Bexy, I know all about a week off.
Lovely to meet you. John Daffodil, general man of the theater. Oh my God. What do you mean by like, well, once in a while, one has to wait for the opportunity to present itself. You're not in between jobs. You're enjoying the moment. He's saying he doesn't work a lot.
I'm saying I work on many, a great many things. Not for money, though. Circle Glang, pleasure to meet a beautiful friend of my friend. She's like looking at both of you. I don't know. There's something interesting here to Bexy. Pleasure to meet you. And likewise, uh, uh,
- I hate to be rude, but we were just moments ago. - And sorry, what's your name? And that other guy. Still there. - Carl. - Oh, hey. What are you guys up to? - Oh, Carl. I must extend a brief bit of gratitude for trying to help us in that battle back there. - His nose is pretty broken.
Ah, yeah, of course. We should get you to a doctor, huh? Yeah, you guys want to take me?
Well, we're actually looking for one. I think there's one not too far. Maybe you help yourself on the way. Carl just sort of stared. Yeah, kind of help yourself to the doctor. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. Well, I have several tattoos that I'm very proud of. Like what? Maybe you show me yours, I'll show you mine. I love it. She showed everybody her butt tattoo. Wow, and it's a tattoo of another butt on your butt. Yeah, and that one says teeny tiny old soul on it.
I don't know which one to smell. What? I physically put myself between John Daffodil and Bexy. Horrifying man. A horrifying man. Bexy calls the cops. We cannot glass over that. Here's my other tattoo. Wow, I don't know which one to smell.
I'm sorry. Maxie, which one would you smell? I don't know that I want you anywhere near me. Once again, I move in between. My body moves in between. He's not as silver-tongued as he used to be, but this man used to be able to compliment and weave a yarn to any beautiful woman or man about town. But if I may show you one of mine, it's a tattoo of my own face on my bicep there. Wow. And your tongue is hanging out?
Yes, yeah, and underneath it says hubba hubba. It's me kind of seeing a beautiful lady like yourself. Look, if you look at it like this, it's like it's saying hubba hubba to you. It looks just like me. I taught him everything he knows. I don't want to hear your voice ever again.
I hate to be rude, as I was saying earlier, but we are in the midst of trying to chase down a suspicious man. Have you seen anyone running through here that looked unusual or in a rush? I mean, everybody's a bit unusual in Solonport. Keep it weird. Yeah, keep it weird. There's an interesting flavor to the city that is sort of unique to this place. Bexy, you know how we...
fought a lot of evil when we were on that boat. I think we're meeting it again. You know, have you met anyone who has kind of tried to tell you about something called the Big Feast? The Big Feast. I don't know of anything called that. To be honest, I haven't heard of any specific feasts. But...
You know, people around this part are kind of in the know with sort of the underbelly of the city. That's what we want. You could probably... Where were you just drinking? I was just drinking at fucking Danny's. Oh, cool. Yeah, sounds like a real seedy underground place. Yeah, fucking Danny's. You look at it, there is a big picture of Shasta on the window. It says 86th.
Yeah, it's like pretty chill. The name feels pretty hardcore. I'd be pretty hard to get kicked out of there, to be honest. Oh, interesting. It's happened to people before. Do I know Shasta? Shasta was her roommate. My old friend who gets kicked out of bars. You're a very good friend. Outside of that, I don't know.
know. I feel like Lord Dugan's has sort of changed ownership recently. But I do think that the ship show is probably one of your best bets. It's sort of, it's kind of got a gross fraternity vibe, you know? Like, there's like this back area where these like, you know, like
who feel like they're powerful hang out and they dress like pirates. They're not actual pirates, if you know what I mean. It's sort of like a cosplay situation. Does that make you furious? Should we go ship shape? Well, I'd love to invite a friend to drink at a ship show. Okay. We'll get a little bit of the Sago Gleg experience. Usually free drinks, free apps. Okay.
I'm reluctant to suggest such a thing, just on manner of constitution, but there's murder afoot, so do we dare go in character to avoid being discovered at this fraternity bar? Yeah, I mean, if you want to go into character, even though you hate cosplay, I think that there is... There's murder. People are being killed. We have to...
We're taking our lives into our hands. Yeah, there's like around the corner, there's one of those touristy kind of t-shirt novelty shop. You can get some masks and things like that there. I've got a disguise kit, but I always love to see the local flavor of disguise. Yeah, great. I'm going to wear one of those shirts that's kind of like, I'm with stupid, right?
or like, you know, like really bro-y dumb boy shirt. Not to be rude, but I think we're probably trying to disguise our faces. That's all I'm doing.
So it's sort of an oversized t-shirt. It's a really big t-shirt that says, I'm with stupid and I'm ready to go. I think John pulls out a little makeup kit and gives himself a black eye. Oh, wow. Honestly, you look hot. Wow. It's like adds a depth to your character. Yeah. What did John get hit? Because he got hurt during battle, right? He got hit. Well,
Yeah, what do you think? John's, you know, getting up there. I think his knees aren't what they used to be. I think he probably just got a little, you know...
A little English put on the old ACL there. Yeah, they have some ace bandages here that you can tape up your knee. Well, I'd like to speak to the shopkeep and just see what we have here. Otherwise, some of the disguises around. There's a guy who's working there. He's like, I mean, disguises? I don't know if we have disguises. I mean, this guy says I'm looking for a costume. Wait, no, it's not a costume.
These are these people's real clothes, dog. I cause tomb. I cause a tomb. This guy says I cause a tomb if I can't find a regular outfit to wear. A real sphinx over here. We don't want a tomb here. Look, we got these shirts. Phew.
Incredible. Thank you. I learned from the best. Well, there's a lot of novelty shirts, like the female body inspector. Oh, I should have gotten that one. God damn it. I'll take one that says make seven and on the back says up yours. Great. This is an adult medium, so it's sort of a gown. Like a gown. I built it. I was just going to say you built it. I was just going to say.
I reached into my bag, I've had that match with the green. Thank you. For our listeners, I beautifully touched Grant's shoulder and it was so buff. Is that real? I've been going for it a little while. Oh my god! First of all, thank you. Anyway, back to the show. I hate pause play. What were you saying?
There are also like these like rubber masks. Like they do have like this more to more of the like Mardi Gras style ones. But then there's like, you know, like more Halloween-esque masks that are like, like almost like an Elmer Fudd rubber head. Oh, look, there's one of Nancy Reagan. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Never heard of her. Nance, what do you think? Oh, no, I like it. Well, let me...
They do have a Sogogleg mask here. Let's all wear one. Three Sogoglegs. Four for Lexi. Lexi's like, they have a mask of your face? Who are you? I'm Sogogleg. I'm the host of Taverns. Taverns, Spits, and... Dives. Dives. Dives.
I'm the host of Tavern Spits and Dives. I'm the host of Tavern Spits and Dives. I go town to town trying the most authentic local fried crap and reviewing it for everyone.
Oh, wow. She's very impressed. The guy's like, so you want to mask yourself in three or four? Please. Four Socko Gleg masks. He gets like a big pull down, starts taking them down. And I pull out a, like a portrait, a drawn portrait of myself and I sign it and I say, and maybe a bit of a deal if you want to hang this up and frame it. Make a persuasion check. Whoa.

That's on the house. And hands you all the masks. He puts it up. He puts it up on the wall right next to him. He's like, my kids are never going to believe Sago Glegg came in and bought a mask of himself. And then three more? Keep eating, baby. I will. All right. Now, if we have these masks, we have to go as Sago Glegg.
So there's four Sogoglags and one is wearing a shirt that says, I was stupid. Okay, let's get ourselves into the bar. Yeah, you look over and John Daffodil's really working himself into a Sogo vibe. Tears streaming down his face. Going out with a horrible little plastic mask. I turn around and see Carl trying to haggle for a Sogoglag mask.
I guess he could have gotten five for free at a delay. How much are they? There's like 60 gold or something. Looking through his pockets like, Oh no, I double back and I buy one. Carl, I can't believe it. He is now just sort of hovering near you. I've made a terrible mistake. Sago Gleg. Five Sago Glegs. Wow.
- Wow, yeah, definitely. Okay, guys, shall we? - The five of you in a line of Sago Glegs. - Let's go for it. - March out of there, out of this knowledge, and stop back to Bumper's Tree. - So the idea, I mean, we didn't discuss this, but the idea is these masks are supposed to look real to everybody, and we're trying to pull off that the masks are real. 'Cause when you talk, the lips don't move.
I think... I think you know why. Your whole body. When one is on stage, one feels whatever character they're playing, and that is why the audience will believe it. So you guys go to ship show. We go to ship show. We're all wearing masks. There's a bouncer up front, and he's like, yeah, can I see some of your teeth?
Don't you know who I am? I'm Sogoglag. I'm Sogoglag. Keep eating. And I'm going to roll a persuasion check. Yep, me too.
- I roll a 10. - I'm fucking crying. - I rolled a six. - Now would anyone have advantage by the assumption that they are Saga Blank, who is normally a persuasive person? - Maybe you roll a check to see if you can give them the help action. - Okay, cool. - You have to do this with disadvantage.
But your persuasion is still really good. So it's a persuasion check or just a standards roll? Persuasion. Okay, so the first one was 16 plus 9, 25 or 21. Okay, on that, you guys can roll one more time just to see. 16. Five. I mean, you are just a mask that's going to...
that's walking on the ground with little feet poking out from under it. - With a little 7-Eck t-shirt coming out of him. - I wonder where there's a bratwurst I can taste. - You have to, this guy, this bouncer with like, you know, just like all muscle, like no neck kind of guy was like, you have to take off that, take off that mask. - Mask? What mask? - He's kind of, - The worst person of all of us to have to tell that they can't be in character anymore. - So, - You won't break. - You guys can come in. You have to stay out.
This is how you treat Sog O'Glegg? My good man, what's your name? Hi, Jeffrey. Jeffrey, you a fan of the show? Look, I'm not supposed to play favorites here. You know, I love the show. Oh, hey, Jeffrey. How about this? Are you the real Sog O'Glegg? I'm the real Sog O'Glegg. Oh, it's like, it's like, it's like Walter White's mask. Oh, my God.
At Comic-Con? Yeah, at Comic-Con. At an MLR Comic-Con. But this has got to be our little secret. We're doing it. You know, me and my buds are just trying to have kind of a fun little anonymous day. Is it for the show? Yeah, we're doing a segment. We're doing a segment for the show. I'm the real Sato Blake. He looks up and he's like walking fast. He's like,
Okay. I'll, you know, I'll autograph something for you. Or if you want, we can split one of the famous shrimp sandwiches on the street together. You could split a sandwich with Sago Glang. We could go out into the street and get a shrimp sandwich. They don't sell any in here, huh? You know, I think we'd have to go.
You know what? Let's come inside. Get someone to bring him in. Roll one more persuasion. Actually, just the real Sokka. 21 again. He's like, all right, for you, I'll do this. And opens the little rope and lets you guys all in. There's kind of a line that you guys skipped. Some people are like, what the fuck? You know, like there's some arm motions. The three of you, Bexy looks at you and is like, wow. Carl follows you, Nance, right behind you.
Excellent. And now you are all in the ship show. Inside the ship show is it's obviously this sort of nautical themed bar, but it's very much like the deck of a ship. The main bar slash dance floor area is like the deck itself. But you notice that in the back, there's this like VIP area that is called the captain's quarters.
Everyone here is basically dressed in sort of this pirate themed attire, very costume versus real pirates because this world does have real pirates. You look at the people in the back and it does feel like this sort of old boys club. There's like all these like, you know, 50 something year old, 60 year, you know, like older guys over there.
They all have, you notice, these epaulettes. There's a security sort of checkpoint going into this VIP area where you see a guy get rejected because he does not have the epaulettes and another guy being let in because he has them. Bexie chimes up and is like, only like really cool and powerful people get to be back there. So I don't know.
If you have those epaulets, I guess you can go back there. - Can I do a scan and see if we see someone? I guess we don't really know what they look like. They were in a costume.
I've made my way into a VIP lounge or two just by being who I am. Maybe I bring them some drinks and see what happens. Okay. So for us, does it make the most sense that all five of us try to go into Circle Clay? I think that makes perfect sense. You know what, Daffodil? How about you and I come over here and talk about our favorite song from Chorus Line?
what I did for love. Oh, great. Okay. Go, go, go. I'll take your kiss today, good boy. Walking away from them.
Is anyone hanging out with Bexy? Yeah, yeah. I think we're with Bexy and we're probably also with Carl. Yeah, Carl's there. Great. Hanging out. What do you do for work, Carl? I make yarn. Cool. Yeah, that's cool. But I can't forget what I did for a living. I do try to make extremely desperate eye contact with it. There is also loud music playing here. Hurry. Yeah.
Uh, going into the captain's quarters, there's this little extra line back there. Uh, Saga, you walk up as you get to that area. You look up as this line progresses. Um, you feel a tap on your shoulder and you turn around to see Fiona Greenwater. She's standing right behind you. Suddenly there, uh, her hippo form, uh,
This is the person that you thought you saw earlier last episode. She looks at you and she's like, what are you doing here? It's so good to see you. Fiona. Greetings. Shit. Hi. Hello. Wow, you look great. Thank you. Why are you wearing a rubber mask in your face? LAUGHTER
I was trying to be anonymous and it immediately seems to not have worked. Well, I feel like I would know you if I saw you. And I you. Well, maybe I can...
Get you a drink. Oh, actually, I'll be getting her her drinks. And you see this little human man come up and kiss her on the cheek. He's bald with a chin strap red beard. This is a man who is also known for reviewing food. You hear someone behind you in line go, whoa, Sago, Gleg, and Nathan Nosher are here? He looks at you and he's like, Sago, how's the world treating you? Nosher, good.
Real good. Yeah, everything's great, actually. Yeah. Everything's great. Show's going really well. And, you know, meeting something crazy every night and whatever, you know, whatever. Books flying off the shelves. Yeah, yeah. You know, you look good in that mask. I'm afraid it won't do you any good if you're trying to get in the captain's quarters and he points to the epaulets on his own shoulders. Oh.
Oh, Nastya, explain how... Oh, there it is. Someone brings over a plate to him, and it is sort of this round of intestines that look like spaghetti, and he goes... And he sucks it up, and he's like, You'll never eat nastier food than I will, Sago. Ha ha ha!
They know Nathan Nosher will eat the nastiest food there is. Sogogleg will eat the nastiest food. Sogogleg ate toilet. Sorry, Sogogleg ate toilet? Sogogleg ate toilet.
Okay? I am the nasty man. You are nothing. No, I am the nasty man. You're nothing but a sheer derivative. I remember when you were trying to be a fancy foodie.
You were trying to eat at all the five star taverns. And then you saw my success. And then suddenly you became the nasty food eater, didn't you, Nosher? - Well, I would argue that rich foods and poor people foods are one and the same in that the nastier it is, actually the more decadent it is. - Yeah, you eat the expensive-- - I eat toilet. - I eat toilet! - Fiona gets in the middle like, "Enough!"
Even just Fiona's hand on my chest pushing me away makes my heart flutter. Just sort of this hippo hoof hitting you in the chest. Sorry. Sorry, Fiona. Out of respect for you, Nathan, let's bury the hatchet. Nathan shakes your hand and pulls you out and goes, I eat toilet. I try to really squeeze his hand hard on the handshake. Make an opposed athletics check.
-11. -You guys are actually squeezing yourself equally hard. -Wow. -Roll one more time to see it. -5. -He's squeezing this. He's grinding that bottom bone in your hand. -I told you. I told you. -Nathan Nosher, he lets go of your hand. He nods to the bouncer back here and walks in. He was like, "Make sure everyone has their epaulettes though."
- Fucker. - This motherfucker. - Fucker. - He winks at you and sucks up the rest of his like intestines that he ate. - Fiona, what do you want? What do you see in a guy like him? - Gosh, he really likes me and treats me well. Yeah, I guess he's a little rough around the edges. Talks about eating toilet a lot. But I don't know. I think- - I blew it with you, Fiona.
I, you know, I was young, I was stupid, all the whoring around, eating disgusting foods, blowing up the toilet when I got home. There's no way to be around a beautiful, beautiful creature such as yourself. I think about you every day. I would be lying if I didn't say I think about you, but I think that, speaking of ships, that ship has sailed. And, uh...
I'm so glad I'm wearing my mask so she can't see me crying. Sorry, there's pretty loud music and someone's singing show tunes somewhere, but I think I can hear a little rumble of something. I must be hungry. I must be hungry. All right, well, I'll let you go get your food. It was good to see you. And you. I hope you take care of yourself. I eat well.
What does that mean? You guys keep saying that and I don't know what that means. Whatever. I'm going to go inside. You see Nathan at the doorway like, babe, come on. Motioning her on. And she goes in. I go straight to the bar. I go through my group of four people wearing my mask. Which is why I hope I get it as my seventh favorite. Three stiff ones.
Strongest thing you got. - For Sago Glegg, coming right up. Guy dressed like a sailor starts making some whiskey drinks. - And four flaming shots for my friends, Ben. - Ooh, for which guy behind you? Oh, so three for you, four for them. - Oh yeah, the three are for me. - Do you want yours on fire? - Yes. - Okay. - The firer, the better. - Yeah, you see Sago coming back, head full of steam like,
Kind of a difficult energy coming in trying to get some drinks. Did you get some epaulets? We gotta get out of here. There's nothing here. What? There's nothing here for us. Let's go. I'm pretty sure all signs have pointed us here. What are you talking about? Fucking dannies seemed like where everything... I think I saw some lettuce in fucking dannies. I think someone trailed some lettuce into there. I hate to contradict my old student, but I seem to see some of the city bigwigs up there in the epaulet bar. They're nobodies.
I grabbed Zago by the collar and go, listen, I'm going to make a chili tonight. All right. I just got back from a long trip and all I want to do is make my cowboy pie. And you said you were going to eat it. And then you said you were going to make me famous and get me money. For anyone else at this bar, Zago Glegg-Doggy.
face to face with his six foot three tall woman with the mask of him shaking him down. - Now can I get a buck? And I put my hand out. - I lean over to someone, wow, I wouldn't want to be Shago Gleg. - Are you Shago Gleg? - Why yes, yes I am. - Oh my God.
- Finally. - Oh God. - Finally a spot on impression. - The bartender comes back with three and then one shot each for everyone. You take those shots. Again, you have re-upped your drunk condition. Roll a D4 one more time. - Ooh, we both got fours.
So you, on fours, you get an advantage on charisma ability checks. Yes! You still have a disadvantage on wisdom and dexterity saving throws and disadvantage on intelligence and wisdom ability checks. Bex comes up and she's like, wow, are you guys, like, okay? Like, it seems like a lot. Oh, yeah, I need to get myself together. Once I see Bex, I'm kind of like, right, I do this for the children and I'm a role model, so I'm... Madam, I'm more than okay. And I roll a charisma. Oh, my God!
with advantage four i'm never going to talk to you again i'm sorry i i uh i got scared you know and i i grabbed you like that okay it seemed like something went down with a beautiful woman i don't want to talk about it okay yeah i maybe i flew off the handle too quickly i
I should be standing on your left side because you really are with stupid right now. No, no, no. And I make sure that it's pointing to Carl. I go, no, no, no. Carl is just there. At some point, he got a shirt that just said, I am stupid. Just so that at least then he would belong. Just with your face.
So I go, I understand letting the right one get away. I understand problems with women. So let's just go and get our chili ingredients and have a beautiful night of local cuisine.
