In spite of what you have heard,
0:03
we're at the height of our powers,
0:05
atop the tallest of towers. We'll stay
0:07
here, we'll never stop, we'll take my
0:09
hand if you trust, that we will
0:11
do what we must, until it's turning
0:13
out just like a plan. We've
0:16
been away so long, it's long,
0:18
but our mojo is strong, and
0:20
unless I'm wrong, and I'm not,
0:23
we're at the height of our
0:25
powers. Today
0:54
marks the 20 year anniversary of the
0:56
last reported sighting of the Greenback Guardians.
0:59
Seen defending the streets of River City
1:02
from the volatile pairing of criminals and
1:04
crime. Even after many other
1:06
animal teams have taken up their mission to keep
1:08
the people of this city safe following
1:10
the convergence of 2010, has
1:13
any team truly been able to fill the
1:15
void that the Guardians left behind? The
1:18
citizens of River City say
1:20
no. But tonight,
1:22
those same citizens may sleep a little
1:24
easier. River City has
1:26
unveiled a shining tribute to heroism. Four
1:29
statues in the shape of those beloved
1:32
Greenback Guardians themselves, Lamar,
1:34
Loveless, Newton, and
1:36
Carver, all lovingly rendered
1:38
in ten foot tall golden glory
1:41
and keeping eternal watch over the city
1:43
streets to the north, south,
1:46
east, and west. The
1:49
monument is a new permanent addition to
1:51
River City's famous entry pavilion and
1:53
celebrates not only the heroes of yesteryear,
1:56
but the opening night of the History
1:58
of Heroes exhibition in the meantime. Museum's
2:00
West Wing Wing, sponsored by
2:02
Heron Sorkin. The
2:05
History of Heroes exhibition runs for the
2:07
next three months and celebrates the battles
2:09
of good versus evil in River City,
2:12
from villains like the Calcugator and
2:14
Shocktopus to heroes like Omega Mouse
2:16
and Jeremy the Badger Man. But
2:19
the true highlight of the collection? An
2:21
array of Greenback Guardians memorabilia that
2:24
includes their original signature weapons, an
2:26
unseen cut of their TV pilot,
2:28
and archival footage of their most
2:30
famous rescues and victories. I
2:33
have to say that I, for one, feel
2:35
a little safer knowing that while the Guardians
2:37
are gone they will always be with us
2:39
in spirit. Coming up
2:41
after the break, it started as a
2:43
simple school trip to the beach, but
2:45
what happened next? We'll bring
2:48
you the hilarious ending to that tragic
2:50
tale. Reporting for River
2:52
City First News, I'm JJ
2:54
August. JJ's safe out there. The
3:02
newscast transitions to the station's call letters
3:04
and then ads begin to roll. We
3:07
pull back from the TV display in
3:10
the window of Brody's Discount Television Wonder
3:12
Emporium and make our way down a
3:14
side street of River City. Several
3:17
hours have passed since JJ's broadcast
3:19
first aired and the city sleeps.
3:22
But this slumber is not entirely peaceful.
3:26
We return once again to the Arthur
3:28
Gallery Museum and find it shrouded in
3:30
darkness. The streetlights on either
3:32
side of the entry pavilion have been
3:34
tampered with, the panels cut open and
3:37
the wires chewed through. It
3:39
seems that someone is up to no good.
3:42
The bunny brood are robbing the museum.
3:46
Flopsy and Mopsy stand at the
3:48
top of the steps, directing henchmen
3:50
carrying boxes labeled greenback guardian stuff
3:52
towards a box truck. We
3:55
see cottontail separate from the others chewing
3:57
on the legs of the guardian statues.
4:00
But we also see one more thing. Across
4:03
the parking lot, taking cover behind
4:05
a sensible green sedan, we
4:07
see three abnormal heroes. My
4:11
first and past most important question, whose
4:14
sensible green sedan is it? Which one
4:17
of you three owns the
4:19
sensible green sedan? My
4:21
guy owns a Cybertruck. He's way
4:24
into that life. Oh
4:26
boy. Way into that Cybertruck lifestyle. What
4:28
an amazing way to introduce your character.
4:31
Ha ha ha! Can
4:34
I say- You never get a heel turn
4:36
at the very beginning of a natural play
4:38
podcast. Can I say brief
4:41
sidebar, Huntington has its first Cybertruck
4:43
and it is a citywide panic,
4:45
trying to figure out who has
4:47
the Cybertruck. It's all anybody's talking
4:50
about here. It's which dork bought
4:52
a Cybertruck? You know what? Two,
4:54
I do wanna say, two independent
4:56
parties came to Sydney to ask
4:58
if I was the culprit. That's
5:01
iron cold, man. That is like
5:03
my brand is so bad, apparently.
5:06
So does the green
5:08
sedan belong to Roger or
5:10
to Lyle? I
5:16
think it's messed up that you didn't even offer it to me.
5:18
I don't actually own a Cybertruck. You just said you didn't own
5:20
it. You said you had a Cybertruck. I don't have a Cybertruck
5:22
that was created. I think it would be Roger's if
5:27
it's part of his cover as
5:29
a competitive ballroom dancer. I
5:32
don't think Roger would drive a
5:34
sedan. It's like in the movies
5:37
where they put him in some junky car and
5:39
it's hilariously. This is cool, Trav.
5:41
We've never introduced a character by
5:44
saying what they aren't. That's such
5:46
an interesting diversion. I think you've
5:48
got an Aston Martin back
5:50
in the beach house. I
5:53
like the idea of Roger just constantly telling
5:55
people he has an Aston Martin, but he
5:58
can't ever drive it. While
8:00
you have any idea?
8:03
Three taps. There
8:07
must be something. Are
8:09
you- Remind me three, man. Are
8:13
you wanting us to split up?
8:16
No, I mean, maybe if that's
8:19
what the situation commands, but three
8:21
taps for three bogeys, then
8:24
pushing the head down, discretion.
8:27
When I point with the fin, it's pointing at
8:29
the direction of the bogeys. Yes. And
8:33
then- Oh, yeah, yeah. And then this
8:35
is just, and I brush my face, discretion. Oh,
8:38
I see. Yes. Always, man.
8:40
I asked you guys if you felt comfortable with
8:42
the hand symbols. Well, I know, but we didn't
8:44
want to appear
8:47
difficult. You seem so proud of them, man. I don't
8:49
know if us wanted a harsh it. Yeah, that was,
8:51
you were, you had this
8:53
glow while you were describing them in
8:56
our previous meeting. It
8:59
was very hard to disrupt. Okay,
9:02
so I brush my face again, three
9:04
taps, thumbs up. Wait,
9:07
now the thumbs up. Hold
9:10
on a second, about the thumbs up. Where are
9:12
we at with that? I
9:14
just kind of shake my head and I do a little
9:16
somersault roll. I'm going to try to sneak up towards the
9:18
fountain. Now the head shake. Okay,
9:22
you're sneaking up towards the fountain. Let's
9:24
see. Yeah, I want to get
9:26
into the fountain splash down and sort of
9:28
do an aquatic approach, Rambo style. Okay,
9:30
give me a just
9:33
straight two D8. I'm
9:36
going to say this is an abs roll because seals
9:38
I don't think are inherently sneaky.
9:41
No, once we get in the water though, Oh
9:44
yeah. it's remaining the shade. That's a three, but
9:46
then an eight, which is the highest number you
9:48
can roll on an eight sided dice. Okay, yes,
9:50
that is going to be a success, but, Okay.
9:53
So you are able to sneak over
9:55
there. Yeah. And you're trying
9:58
to make it to the fountain, correct? Yes, I'm trying. trying
10:00
to make it to sort of the south side of the fountain here. Far
10:02
away from the foes. In
10:05
the rules of this game, the success
10:07
butt appears above you. If you get
10:09
it. Yeah. It's humiliating. It makes a
10:12
success. You are able to do it,
10:14
but you're hidden, right? You're not spotted.
10:17
But it makes a little bit more
10:19
noise than maybe you were anticipating, maybe
10:21
you were going for it. So, Cottontail
10:24
has paused their chewing on the legs
10:26
of the statue, and they're a little
10:28
more aware now. Can
10:30
I have my control of my token, please? In
10:33
rule 20? Oh, yeah. I don't... Oh,
10:36
man. Gimme. Gimme the toy,
10:38
Trav. Damn, you
10:40
got to... Look at that. We all got little
10:42
toys down here, but you won't let us play
10:44
with them. I can do controlled by... Set me
10:46
loose. Set me free. Yeah. Let
10:50
him clear his door. Don't make me take that control away.
10:53
Whoa, he's spinning around. He's going
10:55
crazy, guys. Griffin. I'll take
10:57
the control away. I'll take the control away. You're
10:59
right. Okay, what are the
11:01
other two of you doing? I
11:03
would like to activate my nocturno sense.
11:05
Oh, okay. In a darkened environment and
11:07
when not an active peril, Lyle can
11:10
use sound and chemical detection to understand
11:12
more about his environment, enemies, etc. Okay,
11:14
what are you trying to determine? I'm
11:17
trying to determine places
11:21
where I might not be seen, like
11:23
cones of vision, that kind of thing.
11:25
Okay, excellent. And also
11:27
any... Big
11:29
glowing weak points on their backs. Yeah, I
11:31
was going to say weak points, but explosive
11:34
barrels? That's probably not... You
11:36
know what I mean? Just incontinent venture stuff. Travis, I
11:38
do just want to say, if you do put explosive
11:40
barrels in the first encounter of your campaign,
11:44
we're going to expect them in
11:46
all of them. Lyle has an
11:48
ability to... He's exceptionally skilled at
11:50
improvising melee weapons in his
11:52
environment, so he gets his weapons around
11:54
him. So I need to kind of know what
11:57
I have at my disposal. Okay, excellent. Roll 4d8.
12:02
Yeah. Okay. 4D8,
12:06
not 48. A
12:08
man. My nocturno sense goes wild with an 8, 7, 5,
12:10
5. All passes.
12:12
Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, yeah. First,
12:14
you can see that along the
12:16
side of the road closest to
12:18
you, there are some vehicles
12:21
parked probably, you know, maybe curtsy
12:23
vehicles from the museum or a
12:25
transport that they use. And
12:27
so that's going to give you some pretty good cover
12:30
to get up pretty far along the line.
12:33
But you can also see just ahead
12:35
of you in kind of the garden,
12:37
you can see the like greenery and
12:39
landscaping area. It seems that they
12:41
were kind of in the middle of redoing some stuff.
12:44
So you can see that the landscapers have left
12:46
behind sets of shovels and some like rakes and
12:50
hedge trimmers and stuff like that. A leaf
12:52
blower even. Okay. And what
12:54
kind of enemies do we have? We've
12:56
gone to seeing the three bunny brood
12:58
who are, you know, about like pretty
13:00
tall, ranging between like 5'10 and 6'5 bunny
13:03
people. Those
13:06
are bipedal rabbit men, yes? Correct.
13:08
Excellent, great. As well as their
13:10
three henchmen who just seem like pretty
13:12
standard dudes. Human dudes?
13:15
Yeah. Okay. And
13:17
then just your run of the mill. What's
13:19
a normal, Trev? What's a normal dude? Describe
13:22
a normal average dude to me. Me.
13:26
And then interesting. That's so fascinating to me. But
13:28
not surprising. That's not a bit about you. Speaks
13:30
volumes. They have different facial hair though, so you
13:32
can tell the difference. Cool dude. Yeah.
13:36
Oh, and they're all wearing fake bunny ears
13:38
to indicate their leech. Oh, that's good shit.
13:41
That's a good henchman move. And they
13:43
each have little cotton balls glued onto their
13:45
butts. Aww. Yeah.
13:49
All right, I'm going to use the
13:51
right side outside the line of cars
13:54
there to move up closer
13:57
in a discreet way. and
14:01
maybe grab myself a rake. Okay,
14:03
yeah, and with all those successes,
14:06
you are able to navigate that
14:08
incredibly easily, and you've got your
14:11
rake. I'm going to say you're
14:13
up, yeah, right about there, right by the streetlight east.
14:16
Okay, what about you, Roger? Roger
14:18
is going to rely on his
14:20
natural dancing skills
14:23
and just make a beeline
14:25
for which one of them is gnawing on
14:27
the legs of the statues. That
14:29
would be Cottontail. Cottontail. Pretending to
14:32
be a mime. No
14:34
good stuff? You know, relying on
14:37
his natural, you know, he's going to be pretending
14:39
to be a street performer, a mime. Oh, okay,
14:41
got it. And he's doing the old pulling
14:44
yourself along with a rope.
14:46
That will be very distracting. Excellent job,
14:48
man. Super job. Do
14:51
you maybe want to go around the other side of the
14:53
street than the one we are on? Let's
14:56
not be too hasty. I think dad's
14:58
got a plan and I think- To
15:00
draw attention directly to where the two of us
15:02
are hiding. Yeah, you got it, dad. Just go
15:04
to a different place to see your dad. I'm
15:07
going about halfway between. That way I can distract
15:09
for both of you. Okay. How
15:13
close can I get to him? Well,
15:15
that's a great question. Now they're just kind of looking at both of
15:17
us. We're in both
15:20
their periphery now. That's awesome. Yeah,
15:22
a bold choice, dad, to go ahead and
15:24
move yourself up there. I'm going to have
15:26
you- Oh, okay. Sorry. This is, I would
15:28
say, movement is your strong
15:31
suit, right? So go ahead and roll 3d8
15:33
for me. A
15:37
one, an eight, and a
15:39
one. Okay, yeah. I'm going to
15:41
say that with that kind of mixed success, you
15:43
are able to move up and
15:45
cotton tail does not immediately
15:48
attack. Cotton tail is not the
15:50
brightest of the three, but cotton
15:53
tail is going to move to kind of meet
15:55
you in the center. And
15:57
like is investigating.
18:00
man position there. I'll see what Navy's doing
18:02
first. Um, I want to approach a
18:04
little bit up the fountain just so I can get a better
18:06
look. I want to get an idea of how much they
18:09
have already stolen, what part of the heist process
18:11
it looks like we're in, if it looks like
18:13
these are going to peel off and go back
18:15
in to grab more stuff or if
18:17
they are about to make their getaway. Okay,
18:20
as we established in
18:22
the water, I'm going to say you don't
18:24
even for this lights off,
18:26
no one's paying attention to you, you're
18:28
in the water. It's so easy
18:30
for you to get close to there, but do
18:33
give me, um, give
18:35
me, yeah, just a 2d8 check to see
18:37
if you can scope out how it's going.
18:39
I do have a skill bug eyed.
18:43
Ross seals have gigantic eyeballs
18:45
that enhance Navy's powers of perception.
18:48
Oh sick. Okay. Yeah. Give me a 3d8. Double
18:53
success 7 to 7. Okay.
18:55
Yeah. So at this point,
18:58
the truck is pretty loaded. Okay.
19:01
You can see lots of boxes in
19:03
there and you can overhear a little
19:05
bit. Maybe like you see them talking
19:07
like flopsies starting to give some congratulatory
19:09
like thumbs up like, Hey, we're almost
19:11
done. Good job everybody. So
19:13
you can tell like it's starting to wrap
19:15
up. You don't have long hair. And I
19:18
want to remind you, Lyle, especially
19:20
where you are now next to this
19:22
street light, you can see like
19:24
the panel that was pulled off to access the
19:26
wires inside and you can see
19:29
like where they've been nod through and it's
19:31
pretty like green wire is cut and
19:33
there's a green wire, you know, underneath the red
19:35
wires, right? So it wouldn't be
19:37
hard to figure out like how to wire
19:39
these back together. Wire
19:43
the street light back together or wire the alarm
19:45
system back together. What is the panel? Panel
19:48
goes with the street light. The alarm system you assume is inside,
19:51
but they don't for maybe obvious
19:53
reasons give access to the alarm
19:55
system outside of the building.
19:57
Yeah, that's that cool. That's the building that
19:59
makes Perfect, that makes perfect sense,
20:01
Trev. I should've gotten that through context
20:04
clues, for sure. I
20:06
mean, I'm ready to pop this thing off. I don't know if you
20:09
guys are feeling like
20:11
this is good. Yeah, this is good. I'll
20:17
push the street light over.
20:20
Okay. Onto the red one. Onto
20:23
Mopsy, I can't see that name. Yeah,
20:26
Mopsy, it looks like that would work. So I'm gonna do that.
20:29
And then you can play it off like an accident, like
20:32
a final destination, whoopsie. Bad. What
20:34
are you using to do this? Is there
20:36
any skills you have? Yeah, Trev,
20:38
I'm using a rake. You're using a rake.
20:40
I said I grabbed it earlier, so I'm
20:42
using that as a lever to make it
20:44
easier. Okay. With my incredible strength.
20:47
So I'm picturing this correctly. You're wedging
20:49
like the rake and a shovel. Not
20:52
a rake, a shovel. Let's be sensible
20:54
men. It's a shovel. Okay.
20:57
Well, now I get it. Okay. Now
21:00
you get it. I'm using the tip of
21:02
it underneath the bolts, and I'm knocking
21:05
it over with that, with my
21:07
incredible strength. Okay, give me a
21:09
3D8 strength jack assisted by your
21:11
shovel. Two,
21:15
one, six. Yeah, so I will
21:17
say that with a six that
21:19
makes success, you are able to
21:22
get it going. Yeah.
21:25
It is making a fairly loud
21:28
noise as it goes. Yeah. Yeah.
21:31
So it doesn't hit Mopsie,
21:33
but it does like they throw themselves
21:35
backwards and like she's on the ground,
21:37
right? Very disoriented
21:39
with what has just happened, but it
21:41
did draw some attention
21:43
that away. So henchman number
21:46
one is headed that way to investigate.
21:48
Flopsie's heading over to help up Mopsie
21:50
and be like, what the, what was
21:53
that? Oh, and went after I noticed
21:55
all them looking at me, I say,
21:57
yeah, I'm here for. Street
22:00
light repair Okay,
22:04
sorry just to clarify and this is
22:06
trying to get the access panel. Okay, just
22:08
so you're shank Yeah, I got access to
22:10
prayer. So you First
22:13
of all, it's like 2 o'clock in the morning
22:18
Electricity doesn't sleep and I can't either
22:20
you can't sleep at all. I Don't
22:24
sleep. We're sure. I mean as a
22:26
server sweetheart. I understand and To
22:29
fix the street like you had to buy
22:31
it from The
22:33
access panels man. Okay. Yes.
22:35
Um, okay. Give me a 2d8
22:37
unless you have something that makes this very Believable
22:41
give me a 2d8 and is it's gonna
22:44
be a tough one Justin Here
22:52
we go, big eight nope There's
22:54
a three. That's right Justin. That's That's
22:58
a fail Yeah,
23:00
that's a failure. Yeah. Now you do
23:02
get to mark a point in your
23:04
experience, you know advancement points Yeah, it
23:06
makes perfect, dude Point
23:09
mark mark and flops
23:11
he is gonna come charging at
23:13
you Wow,
23:18
okay. Well, they're
23:20
a bad person No,
23:23
I know Travis just they had like
23:26
a I like but luckily they do
23:28
miss you on both both of those
23:30
were misses So
23:33
the battle has commenced now so
23:35
far The only
23:37
well cotton tails pretty aware of
23:40
Roger at yeah, but the
23:42
only one they're dancing trap Okay.
23:45
Yeah in the beautiful mind dance Hinchman
23:48
one and two are also going
23:50
to move in to you
23:54
Lyle so henchman one An
23:59
eight does hit So you're
24:01
going to take one point of damage from them and henchmen
24:03
to another hit.
24:05
So you're taking two points of damage because
24:08
you don't currently have any natural
24:10
armor. Now,
24:12
Navy, since you are
24:15
still undiscovered and undercover, is
24:17
you're trying to act. And
24:19
you can act and then once you're
24:21
engaged or whatever you do, take
24:24
a surprise around if you wish. Okay,
24:26
cool. So I am going to use a Mondo
24:29
move. I
24:32
think in this scenario, the most important thing is
24:34
not even my life. It
24:38
is that these precious
24:40
cultural treasures, these
24:42
relics of the Greenback Guardians cannot be
24:45
stolen. So I am going to use Torpedo.
24:47
When submerged in water, Navy Seal can launch
24:50
himself at a foe, a tremendous speed, closing
24:52
large gaps and dealing huge damage. I'm going
24:54
to say not a foe. I'm
24:56
going to charge up the splash pack,
24:58
this huge Aqua Jet pack I have
25:00
on my back and
25:03
I'm going to launch myself
25:05
like a missile from God at
25:08
just the side of the truck. Oh,
25:11
a lot. Okay, give me a 48 roll
25:13
against the truck. That's
25:18
an 8, 7, 8, 4, I
25:20
think double eights. What you've got
25:22
right there? That's a Mega
25:24
Cowabunga, my friend. Yeah, my friend.
25:26
That's very good. That's the best thing you
25:28
can get in this game. Yeah, it works.
25:32
And so you
25:34
impact the truck. I shout
25:36
as I fly towards the area, you'll
25:38
munch blubber. Yeah,
25:43
I love that. You slam
25:45
into the truck in such a way
25:47
that your naturally protective blubber takes the
25:49
impact so you don't take any damage
25:52
from this, but you hit it perfectly,
25:54
right? So that the connection that connects
25:56
the cab of the truck with the
25:59
cargo area. Snaps loose.
26:02
Oh, nice. Right? So right now, there
26:04
would be no way for them
26:07
to haul that away unless it is repaired.
26:09
Yeah. And the truck nuts
26:11
just go flying. The truck nuts go flying.
26:13
Like they fly and they snap up against
26:15
the front door. Oh, stop. You're
26:17
making me nauseous. Normally, it would be funny,
26:21
but in this circumstance, because of the
26:23
severity of the situation and the mistakes,
26:25
it's kind of scary that the truck
26:27
nuts are flying so violently. That
26:30
was the added effect of that move,
26:32
the intimidation factor. Well, the and is
26:35
you didn't take damage. It's not just damage,
26:37
but broken. And Hinchman 3
26:39
is so surprised by this impact. He was
26:41
moving over, but he is like knocked down.
26:43
Nice. So you can act on
26:45
him as well. Hmm.
26:51
We haven't really discussed the
26:54
level of violence. We
26:57
are willing. To bring
26:59
to bear. Yeah. I mean, I think
27:03
here's where I'm at. Axolotl's
27:06
got to be able to lose limbs. But
27:09
I don't think there's got to be blood. No.
27:12
So what I'm thinking is no
27:15
blood. No blood. No blood
27:17
is real. No blood. No fat. Lots
27:20
of getting knocked out. Okay. But you can
27:22
lose limbs. Yeah. I mean,
27:24
like you can. You can
27:26
get sliced up and stuff, but like you
27:28
just it never bleeds. There's no blood. Don't
27:31
worry about any blood. Okay. Everybody's
27:33
very blase. Hinchman 3 is just laying down on the ground. I'm
27:35
just going to like sort of walk. Not
27:37
laying down. Don't make it sound like he
27:39
just taking a nap. He fell back. Yeah,
27:42
but he's prone, right? He's down. He's on the
27:44
ground. Yeah. I'm just going to walk
27:46
over here to start checking out the situation and then just very casually just
27:48
kind of lay down on him. Just kind
27:50
of very casually just sort of flop
27:53
over to the side like I'm just slayer. Because you're
27:55
a big. I'm hopping into onto the onto the love
27:57
seat at the end of a long day at work
27:59
like that. that energy of casualness.
28:03
Yeah, and you've got the skill of bulky boy.
28:05
Yes, that is true. So
28:08
give me a 3d8 roll. Oh,
28:13
that's bad, that's worse. I got double ones on
28:15
that one. A
28:17
one, two, one. Yeah, you go, but
28:19
you sit down upon him, but
28:22
you maybe sit down in kind of an awkward
28:25
way and you end up rolling backwards. Yeah.
28:28
So now the two of you are kind of laying prone
28:30
next to each other. As the
28:33
one observes the other one, like, what's this?
28:35
This is nice. That's
28:37
weird. I landed on my keys. Oh
28:40
no, I hate when that happens,
28:42
man. Justin,
28:52
Justin, what's going on with my business? What's
28:54
going to happen? People ask me this every
28:56
day. Hi, I'm Justin McRory, paid spokesperson for
28:58
NetSuite. People are always asking what's going to
29:00
happen with their business. And I don't know,
29:03
I'm not a magician or a sous-seir or
29:05
a cleric or a clairvoyant. That's what I
29:07
meant to say. But you know who is?
29:09
Not is NetSuite. NetSuite doesn't have to
29:12
be psychic because they are going to
29:14
help you to get control of your
29:16
business and understand what's happening everywhere in
29:18
your business with
29:21
a great tool, NetSuite
29:23
by Oracle. It's the number one
29:25
ERP. And
29:27
I don't have to tell you how exciting that is. It's
29:30
got accounting, financial management, inventory, and
29:32
HR in one platform. It's
29:35
got real-time insights and forecasting, which is
29:37
basically future telling. How is NetSuite able
29:40
to offer this kind of magic? I
29:42
don't know. That's not
29:44
my problem. But you
29:46
can see for yourself
29:48
if you're interested. Download

29:57
That's netsuite.com/AdventureZone. is
40:00
the healthiest. Um... No,
40:03
let's... no. Let's start off... You do a quick
40:05
vet check. Get a doctor in here. You put
40:07
a thermometer. Hey, guys. Make
40:09
sure none of them have any kind of, like, heart irregularities
40:11
that this kind of shot is. What
40:14
about your family history? There might be some...
40:16
I sort of... Mopsie. Let's go with Mopsie.
40:18
No, uh... no, Cottontail. He
40:21
started with Cottontail. Let's go on with Cottontail.
40:23
I would love to continue the trend of
40:25
Dad accidentally electrocuting and killing an NPC the
40:28
first handful of episodes of the game. Well,
40:30
this is non-lethal shocking. Okay, cool.
40:33
Yeah, non-lethal wet shocking. It's funny
40:35
shocking. With the combination of the
40:37
soaking wet fur and the
40:40
tasers here, you
40:42
are going to knock Cottontail
40:45
out for at least around, if not
40:47
more. We'll see how well they do.
40:50
Now, Mopsie gets some
40:52
of it and is definitely not looking as hale
40:54
and hardy as they were before. Mopsie
40:57
is able to dampen the impact of it.
40:59
You got rubber soles. Yeah, rubber soled shoes.
41:04
Big, rabbit-sized rubber soled shoes.
41:07
So, they are looking
41:09
untouched by this. Let's
41:12
see. Next is you, Lyle. You
41:15
got one more henchman on you, the other
41:17
henchman currently unconscious. Yeah,
41:20
so you just got the one henchman. I'm
41:22
going to... I
41:25
got to heal myself. I'm going
41:27
to... Which of my limbs am
41:29
I missing? How many
41:32
limbs does an axolotl start with? Well,
41:35
when a mommy axolotl and a daddy axolotl...
41:38
I actually don't know if that is... You know... Okay,
41:41
wait, hold on. You know that you can put iodine
41:43
in an axolotl to turn it into a salamander, but
41:45
you don't know how many legs it's got? Four, man.
41:48
And the tail and the head. That's six limbs. And
41:50
the tail and the head. That's six limbs. Okay. I'm
41:53
going to say that your
41:55
tail has been
41:57
damaged in this fight. That
42:00
is where we are seeing the bulk of your damage. OK,
42:04
I would like to heal. Heal
42:08
my tail. OK, so you're
42:10
currently missing how many hit points? Five.
42:13
OK. Give me a roll
42:17
of let's see here. Yeah, give me a
42:19
three to eight roll and we'll see how
42:21
effectively you recover those hit points. OK.
42:27
Oh, no. Oh, beans. Well,
42:30
those are those are three failures. How busted
42:32
is the tail that comes out? How
42:35
busted and wrong is that? I don't even
42:37
know what happens, Trav. The
42:40
the tail just kind of as you're trying to push
42:42
it out. You're
42:45
making the noise, the whatever your
42:47
basic noise for a single limb
42:50
is. OK. And the henshons like
42:52
looking at you and
42:54
curious, waiting to see what happens and
42:57
nothing happens. And there's a
42:59
look of concern on the henshons
43:01
phase that just doesn't sit right with
43:04
you at all. It
43:06
doesn't make you feel good about yourself or your
43:08
abilities. OK. But you
43:10
do. Hey, practice makes perfect,
43:12
dude. That's a second point
43:14
of advancement. OK, but no
43:16
healing has taken. No, sadly, no healing
43:18
has taken place. You might
43:20
have suffered more emotional damage. And the
43:22
henshons says, listen, man, I'm going to
43:24
try to hit you again. But are
43:27
you OK? Hey,
43:31
that's actually so cool. Thank
43:33
you for checking out me. Yeah, I'm I'm
43:37
I've been better. I mean, I feel like I'm
43:39
learning a lot today. Oh, sorry about this. And
43:41
they punch you for one more point of damage.
43:44
Nerds. Up
43:46
next is Henshin 3. We only have eight hit points,
43:49
right? Yeah. So
43:51
Lyle's almost cashed in,
43:53
cashed in his chips. Yeah, three
43:56
quarters of those hit points are
43:58
Henshin number three. sitting on
44:00
top of you says, or you're sitting on top of
44:02
him, says, uh, listen,
44:05
I just wanted to say, even
44:07
though you're squishing me and
44:10
it's like my job to stop
44:13
you. I just wanted to say, thank
44:16
you for your service. Oh, uh,
44:19
sorry. I should make clear I
44:21
am not, nor have I ever been an
44:23
active duty service member in our armed forces.
44:27
Maybe you heard why do you call yourself a
44:29
Navy Oh, um,
44:31
well, I didn't actually know about
44:34
that being a thing when my color
44:36
was assigned to me. I was a
44:39
member of the Royal seals. You're familiar
44:41
with them. I hope. And, um, so
44:44
I was, they punch you twice. You lose two
44:46
points. Um, and
44:48
with it being a two successes on the, I'm
44:50
also going to say like you, you
44:52
get not quite knocked off of them, but
44:55
knocked back enough. So it's like maybe your legs
44:57
are over them still, but they're able to like
44:59
breathe again and they start to try to get
45:01
up. Okay. But you are up. It's
45:04
your turn there. Navy seal. I, as
45:07
they're standing up, I look
45:10
at them enraged and hurt.
45:12
And I say, I have
45:14
nothing but the utmost respect for,
45:17
for our brave heroes, finding
45:20
our important wars overseas. It
45:23
just kind of sounds like a practice response
45:25
to somebody asking you. Well, I've had to
45:27
say it a bunch of times and I
45:29
blast him full force with the, with the
45:31
splash pack, double barrel. Give
45:34
me three to eight five,
45:36
seven, four, two successes. Yeah.
45:39
Yeah. Yeah. He goes flying backwards,
45:41
bonks against the back of the
45:43
truck. You hear a, you're
45:46
a and he is not unconscious. Flopsy
45:49
is going to take a
45:51
big old kick swing at you
45:53
there, Mac, Roger. Oh
45:55
geez. Oh boy. That's
45:58
three successes of five or seven. I'll
54:00
have this looking shiny and new. Carver
54:02
comes over and give
54:06
me all three of you. And
54:08
if you have anything that gives
54:10
benefits to this, you're trying to
54:12
check his body language, see what
54:14
you can tell from this look
54:17
that he's giving this statue. I
54:19
got double successes, a six-six, a bunga. Yeah,
54:21
with that double success, you
54:23
can see the look that crosses
54:26
through his eyes, the body language.
54:28
He's staring up this statue of
54:30
himself that is him, but at
54:32
least 20 years younger. The
54:35
Greenback Guardians haven't been seen, but this was
54:37
probably modeled after like, you know,
54:39
25 years younger. And here
54:42
stands before you a hero
54:44
in their, at least mid-50s. And
54:48
there is nostalgia mixed
54:50
with kind of sorrow, mixed with like a certain
54:52
amount of loss that you
54:54
can see in his life. Oh, that is
54:56
completely lost on me. So tell me real
54:58
quick, in Greenback Guardians Surf the Moon, it
55:02
seems like there was a little bit of tension happening
55:04
between you and Lamar. And a lot of people were
55:06
saying like, maybe it was happening off
55:08
camera too, and that you guys are sort of building off
55:10
of that. And I'm like,
55:12
no way, these are best friends for life. That
55:15
is just how good of actors they are. Do
55:18
you have anything that I can take back to the
55:20
fan page? Well,
55:23
not, okay. Once again, not to the fan
55:25
page. Quiet, secret quiet. Okay.
55:30
Let's see, which one was that, Surf the Moon you said? Yeah,
55:33
Greenback Guardians Surf the Moon. Oh yeah,
55:35
Lamar was being a jerk about like it
55:37
was a craft service thing, where
55:39
he was like, you ate all the Twizzlers. And
55:41
I was like, I don't even like Twizzlers. And
55:44
yeah, that went on for like six weeks. God,
55:46
you're amazing. Mr.
55:48
Carter, yes, Lyle had a question. Carver,
55:50
Carver. Lyle had a question. All
55:53
right, where are the other guys? Right
55:56
around two. I mean, I'm sure they're somewhere. I
55:58
haven't talked to those dudes. in, uh,
56:00
let me check. Yeah. 20 years. Oh,
56:03
well, why did you pop
56:05
up here? And now just to get your back
56:08
to get slugger. Yeah, man. He's
56:11
been bouncing around in like
56:13
private collections and all
56:15
this stuff. I had no idea where it was. And then
56:17
I saw the news report and they
56:19
said that our signature items were going to be. And so
56:21
like, I was like, Oh, I better go get slugger. I
56:23
bet he misses me. Um, I
56:25
missed him. Well, can we
56:27
have the other ones or no, man,
56:30
long in a museum. They
56:33
belong. That shouldn't that work? He's here
56:35
and he's can do anything he wants.
56:38
He's still okay. Above the law. You
56:40
guys know what? I don't think it's
56:42
right. I think, I
56:44
think you should put it back, man. Okay.
56:48
Do you? Yeah,
56:50
I might agree with Lyle. I
56:53
think, you know, it's, you
56:55
know, you guys have been, you put in a
56:58
lot of work and we're all really
57:00
grateful, but we've been the
57:02
ones cleaning things up around here lately. And I
57:04
don't see why you just waltz in here. Let
57:07
us do all the hard work and then you
57:09
take the bath. Okay. So
57:11
just to be clear, right? Um,
57:14
I'm looking at you. You say
57:16
you've been cleaning up the streets
57:18
and everything. So are you guys
57:20
in fibophores or codename bird or,
57:22
uh, the Royal fields? I'm former
57:24
force. Uh, we, we had some
57:27
differences. Uh, uh, but you
57:30
know, I'm, I'm, I'm figuring things out.
57:32
I've, I've heard from them, uh,
57:35
a few times, spin
57:37
a little bit, but you know, I'm
57:39
so kind of off and on, I
57:41
guess off and on. That's why, yeah,
57:43
I mean off and on. And I'm
57:45
still in my 90 day probationary period
57:47
with the organization. So I, I've
57:50
been operating as kind of a
57:52
lone cow on my own. Um, uh,
57:55
just recently joined these two.
57:58
I was a Royal. seal before
58:01
I was dishonorably discharged from the
58:03
royal seals not the actual military
58:05
which I've never been got it
58:08
I don't know
58:10
why they gotta see discharge so
58:14
you guys aren't even like a real team okay
58:16
got it yeah um hold on I'm
58:19
gonna go wait wait wait wait
58:21
wait in
58:25
um in greenback guardian's pepperoni
58:27
slumber party yeah
58:30
it seemed like the romance
58:33
arc that was happening between you and
58:35
Kylie Minogue's character it
58:37
felt like that also was real behind
