Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grown-ups.

Content warnings can be found in the episode description.

Welcome to Pasta Pundit, Heaven's number one podcast about pipe and hot pasta and traditional family values.

I'm your host, Frank, aka the Fettish Edi Federalist, a.k.a.

Penne Patriot, DBA is the Canaloni Conservative.

And as always, we start with what I have in front of me, which today is an absolutely gorgeous cacio y pepe.

And you best believe this was done the proper, traditional way.

No cream, no garlic, no butter, just four ingredients, exactly the way the Romans do it.

Today we're going to be talking about the break into heaven by a group of antifatines who infiltrated our borders for God knows what.

These days folks, I'll just say it, it's an open gate.

Anyone can walk in here and come into contact with friends, lovers, former principals who they wrongfully killed in their lives to try and seek some kind of closure.

Is that what heaven is?

Just a place where you can come and go as you please?

What happened to you?

Oh, I don't know.

Upholding traditional family values in the glory of God and your time on earth and receiving your ultimate reward.

I ask you, what does a life spent performing virtuous deeds and dictating the legal rights of specific groups of people even mean if radical antifa teenagers can walk into this afterlife completely uncontested?

Anyway, citizens of heaven, we can rest easy for now.

Flash reports place them in hell where they are currently obtaining daddy magic from their grandparents for what one must assume is some kind of satanic ritual.

We're gonna take a quick break.

I'm gonna take a quick slurp, so stay tuned.

And when we come back, have our angelic guardians become too soft on crime?

Welcome to Dungeons and Daddies, not a BDSM podcast.

What the heck is it, though?

Dad, this is a Dungeons and Dragons podcast.

This season about four teens from our world sent to fix the mess their grandparents made and fix the world and bring things back the way it was.

To balance the force.

To unity,

to harmony.

What is this?

The four

things that keep our world in check from the forces of darkness and chaos.

Anthony, where was the lore?

We haven't talked about the chaos orbs yet.

When are we going to get to the chaos orbs?

Yeah, when is the chaos orb art going to happen, Anthony?

What is this from?

I don't know what they're doing.

The lore from the show.

Yeah, the deep sheets.

Mortal One created the four chaos orbs to counterbalance the forces.

This is BCO.

The four chaos orbs.

Yeah, the chaos orbs were created to battle the stasis, the force of stagnation.

Is this a Dragon Ball Z thing?

No, but I think Will's just having a stroke.

I'm just cooking, dude.

I'm sending Cody style lore for our show.

Holy shit, by the way, Let Them Cooks from Breaking Pad?

Is it?

Wait, can we use our teen facts to just add lore to the show?

Lick's teen fact is there's three chaos orbs that control Willie, and he has one of them.

Wait, there's wait, slow down.

So you're saying there's now a total of seven chaos orbs.

Yeah.

And Link has one of the three of the seven.

Did he get it from LGBTI?

Link is from that ancient society.

The three of the seven is what they're called because they are the three.

The keepers of the three.

The keepers of the three.

They took it from the description on a printout.

A lot of fans have been theorizing that Link was one of the keepers of the three.

God.

All right.

My name is Freddie Wong.

I play Taylor Swift, the rock and roll.

No, the mastermind rogue.

Mastermind Rogue is the whole thing.

It's a subclass.

You said that, like, we don't know Dungeons and Dragons, so I don't need to tell.

I only know this because you were asking me questions about this.

What is Mastermind?

Is that perhaps a subclass?

Mastermind, I'm actually looking forward to it.

It's a subclass.

What I'm looking forward to with Mastermind on the Rogue track is that he has a, Taylor has like the most insufferable ability I've ever seen.

Yeah, we knew that.

No, no, no, no, no.

At level three, he gets insufferable.

Is Mastermind the Taylor Swift song?

It is.

Yeah.

Oh, I see.

Here's, but hold on really quick.

This is just great.

You ready for this?

You ready for this one getting dropped?

This one's called Insightful Manipulator.

If I spend at least one minute observing

Is this that you get to you look at them you can tell if they can beat you in a fight?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

You sound so upset, but you literally did it on the last episode.

I cannot remember that because it's been a while.

We're back.

I'm remastering his facts.

I'm remastering Taylor's version.

This is the Taylor's version of the fact.

This week's Taylor fact, Taylor may no longer be a Ranger, but I'll tell you the one thing Taylor misses the most about being a Ranger, which is disguising himself as a trash can and then getting pushed onto stage.

Sound familiar, folks?

I'll let you figure that one out yourself.

Taylor Swift.

I'm really hoping that Freddie changes his class again in like two episodes.

Two three times have been, I'm going to change my class.

Then the next week it was, my new class is this.

And then this

week.

And it is

the class I used to be.

It misses the imagination of Link's favorite seven senses are.

Sorry, sorry.

This is still Rich coming from Five Senses Matt last week, who managed to string out two and a half months of episodes with his Five Senses.

I regret nothing.

Hey, everybody, my name is Matthew Arnold.

I play

Keeper of the Three of the Seven.

I play Mr.

Boss Kicks, the Schooled in Prison, free from homeschool now, spouse and paladin to his best friend, teenager friends.

A little fact about Lincoln.

I realized that just a little blaster on the past because I know one of the most fan favorite facts of Daryl is his bathroom.

It's his bathroom regiment.

So I thought I'd talk about Lincoln's for a second.

When Lincoln goes to the bathroom,

he takes off all of his clothes and puts them in the laundry because they get dirty.

Every time he goes to the bathroom, he puts on a new pair of clothes.

Because I think we have the same question.

When you say they get dirty,

why

not?

Because when you take, if you were to put your pants down to your ankle, they touch the bathroom floor.

The bathroom's just a dirty place.

So you figure, look, he figures if you go in there and you're going to wash your hands and everything, just wash your whole, just get the thing in the links up, take your pants off all the way down to your ankles to pee, kind of boy.

Yes, but then get on a new pair of pants afterwards.

I guess when you say Link takes off all his clothes, then goes to the bathroom.

So I needed a little like Eggman's like order of operations explanation.

Well, I mean, it's his own home.

Does he get naked and then go pee and then put his clothes on?

You know what I'm on?

You know what?

It's his own home sometimes.

You know, why not?

not

he's not

at home yeah if he's not like a mcdonald's he only doesn't go to the bathroom yeah he only be at home yeah this adventure's been hard for him i mean he goes to the bathroom now but he's familiar with why he was able to you know in heaven this is canon though because yeah it's you've been trying

were you buck-ass naked in heaven the entire time no i mean he's not

eaten to a jar or something he has look

it's not complicated he has

real fucking assholes here yo yo you're right

you all understand the idea that there's things you you do at home that you don't do out in public, right?

Like, this is what he prefers to do.

He understands that when he's in a public restroom, he can't do his laundry.

So he doesn't do this.

I'm just saying, in the perfect universe, in his perfect little safe home, when he goes to the bathroom, he puts on a new change of clothes as well.

Like, why not?

Like, keep it all clean.

Heaven's not your perfect safe place.

I don't know where it would be.

That's true.

Does he do his own laundry?

No, absolutely not.

Now he's a teenager.

That's one of the many chores he does not do.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Will Campos.

I play Normal Oak, Perky, Peppy, Tripper, Chiri, School Spirit, Mascot, Kid.

Normal fact about Normal this week is that Normal is the founder of the school's Yearbook Club, which is not the club that makes the yearbook.

It's the Yearbook Club, which is a book club where every month...

Some teens meet to discuss a new yearbook that the school published from its long and story history.

That's so funny.

Oh, my God.

Last month, they brought back, they had an alumni guest, the designer of the 2004 San Dimas High School Senior Yearbook, came in to give a talk on the theme, New Beginnings, which was the theme of the book that year.

Normal was the only one there, so it was a very short QA.

Uh, usually, his audience winds up being people who think that it's the normal yearbook club that makes the yearbook, uh, and then they generally don't stick around.

I would totally be in a book club about the yearbook.

Does that make me an absolute freak?

Maybe, but

this is your best fact.

This is a good one.

This is your Ron.

This is this is Curtis Alice Ron.

Maybe this might be the end of your career.

Ron is an RA in the movie.

This is not Ron Stampler.

No, no, this is his best fact.

This is your seventh samurai.

I love everything about everything about this fact.

Great fact.

Thank you so much.

If Kurosawa made Ron R-O-N, I'd watch that.

Match up.

Matches exploded his Coke Zero all over himself and the microphones.

But I would watch that, right?

And then Ron going in and be like, these people want one kind of business and these other people want another kind, but really, they're really similar.

I'll manipulate them both.

All right.

Ron Jimbo.

Ron Jimbo.

Ron Jimbo.

My name is Beth Mae, and I play Scary Marlow,

a Goth Punk Seeker of Darkness who doesn't want to freaking care anymore.

Gosh darn it.

Fun fact about Scary

is that Scary's been in science classes and because of that has developed a favorite planet, as, you know, some people do.

Okay.

Scary's favorite planet, at least in our solar system, is Mercury, because Mercury has the longest day, which means it also has the longest night.

That's right.

The longest time period to write poetry, to focus on regrets and be sad.

Venus has the longest day of any planet in our solar system.

Please, shout out night because that's what matters.

Venus, which completes one rotation every 243 Earth days, has the longest day of any planet, which I assume also means the longest night.

A night of Mercury lasts 176 days.

That could be the name of your sci-fi poetry album by Scary Marlowe.

176 days.

176 days of it.

Don't you love it when three men tell one woman what her fact is?

No, it's interesting.

No, no, no, Freddie.

We were agreeing with that.

You know, what's interesting is that there are 176 chaos shards that make up the three lost orbs.

How could I forget?

There are four lost orbs.

I thought three of them.

There's three lost orbs and four normal orbs.

And there's three of the seven.

So hard is this to understand.

He's a keeper of the three.

Normal is a seeker of the three.

I think Freddie looked up the longest year.

No, I'm looking at it's actually really interesting here.

It's not.

Let's move on.

Yeah.

I'm Anthony Burge.

I'm your dad.

No, the atmosphere is two orders of magnitude denser.

Sorry, go on.

My Hermie fact is that Hermie didn't have a childhood.

Scam likely conjured him into existence as a high schooler because he thought that was the funniest time of life that a human being could exist.

That's awful.

Do you implant memories into him?

Yeah.

So he just appeared as a freshman with memories of being a child.

Wait, has he only been alive for a couple years or has he been alive for many years as a high schooler?

He's only been alive for a couple years as a high schooler.

Oh my God, he's like Don.

He was fucking Don.

Yeah, he's like Don from, again, D-A-W-N, not D-O-N,

from Buffy Vampire Slayer.

That was the Kira Kuru Saw was Donald Trump.

Don,

guys,

guys, if you keep making Kira Saw jokes, let me know because I can't be drinking Coca-Cola while you're making all these bangers.

So, the last time we left you, you were on a quest to get a bunch of daddy and granddaddy magic to fill up a magic jar with which you could send the doodler back to the doodler's home dimension.

You had just recently gotten a bunch of daddy magic from Daryl Wilson and his lineage, and you are now heading to hell.

We'll milk that sucker dry, dog.

Yeah.

No amateur states here.

You went down to hell and pro states.

You went down to hell and found Terry because he had died and not shown up in heaven.

And you found Terry Stampler having a fight with Glenn Close, a cool sword fight on a dais of skulls suspended above a sea of fire.

Hell yeah.

And there's skulls in the fire, too.

Yeah, it's like a tower of skulls.

And then on the top of the tower is a dais, and then the skulls are getting like charred by the flames around them and shit.

Shit, dude.

It's pretty metal.

So you overhear Terry Jr.

say, don't forget why we were doing this.

Just in case you forgot.

Yes, no.

No, my memory is not what it used to be.

It's very good to be occasionally reminded.

I'm the one who shot Nick's arm off and almost got him killed and fucked him over and screwed him over to the next kind of thing.

It's completely unacceptable.

And therefore, you must die per your request.

Wait, you wanted this?

What are you doing here?

Glenn's going to draw his Sephiroth blade.

He's going to redraw his sword?

Well, he has two.

You remember in Star Wars, right, when Darth Maul had the second saber?

He's got his second Masamune blade on top of his first saber.

What is the exact Darth Maul Maulpose.

And he's like,

whirls it around him a couple times.

And he's like, you know the consequences of death in this realm, my man.

When you die, you die forever.

Your soul just parks in limbo and you're dead.

Again, you're dead.

And Terry goes, that's what I'm counting on.

Okay, well then let's get back to it.

All right, Terry just continues to sword fight you, I guess.

Pretty how we're evenly matched.

Your time spent studying the blade has been serving you well.

And your time in hell has been serving you well as well thank you i have my pick of the greatest swords masters down here wow it's like a compliment fight but also a regular fight

i just watched youtube videos of you doing kung fu in your own in your room alone and that's how i learned the blade

uh son why don't you you stop fighting in glen you too and let's chalk this out terry says no i deserve this yes he deserves this

Well, I can't miss you.

Hey, you can't cry during the middle of the match.

Come on, man.

I deserve it.

I deserve it.

I tried to kill yourself.

This is going to be a good one.

I'm a bad person.

No, no, you're not a bad person.

Come here, my sweet baby boy.

Come here.

Oh, Ron, Daddy.

Ron goes and hugs Terry Jr.

He sobs into your chest.

I did not think that was how this fight was going to go.

So epic.

Glenn is like leaned over, like getting like toweled off by imps, dude.

He's like, got one arm great.

Little imp cut man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's got him.

He got him on the ropes, Dan.

Yeah, come on, impie.

Look at that.

Glenn started like rocky now.

You know what I mean?

But I picture Glenn got like one arm great.

The other one, he's smoking.

He's just straight up smoking tobacco cigarettes while while I lean back.

He's gonna come and it's like, ow, ow, ow, I think I almost got him.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go like, yeah, you do, you do, you do.

All you gotta do is cut his head off and then shit down his neck and then throw his body into the fire and then and then uh go find his family and then go kill his family.

Don't tell me I'll do my fucking job, squirt.

You're right, sir.

You're right, you're right.

Squirt, I'm so sorry.

Hey, squirt some water in my mouth.

Oh, God.

I mean, they have a water bottle.

It comes from a water bottle.

It's normal.

Hey, somebody get that jar thing.

Don't we need tears to like fill up the thing?

Scary.

Scary, he's talking to us.

Normal pop.

Oh, sorry.

He's talking to us.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm talking.

Yeah.

I just told you guys I was sleeping.

It's cool.

Yeah.

Remember, I'm sleeping.

Yeah, you were actually taking a nap.

Normal takes off his helmet and wipes the snot from his face at the same time so you guys don't see how much he was crying in there.

Can I roll perception?

Yeah.

Can I roll sleight of hand, Anthony?

If it was sleight of face, maybe.

Sleight of face.

You will deception, deception, like disadvantages.

You got snot, yeah.

Oh, no, I got a natural one.

Okay, they know exactly how much you've been crying, and not only that, they know why you've been crying.

That's cool.

I just, you know, I yawn, and I, my nose gets stuffy, and my eyes get red.

And when I when I'm tired, and that's why I look like this, yeah, we know, Norm, you're allergic to the mascot outfit, yeah.

It's a pain that I wear every day for the love of this is cool.

Um,

here, here, here's the jar.

Here's you, here you go.

I give you the jar.

Are you sure you you don't want to you know since you're you know since i'm what

since you've got liquid coming out of your face maybe you want to put it first of all this is sorry i'm still stuffed up this is uh like i said i'm just sleepy so this is my eyes are watering because this is that's fair maybe there will be other opportunities to get your face liquid um scary it's memories we need not Oh, yeah.

Otherwise, we could all just cry into that non-stop.

Yeah, you're right.

You're almost crying in that forever.

I'm not crying right now.

yeah, but you are.

Okay, I'm back, guys.

I'm back.

That's good.

Let's go.

Scary sees Terry and kind of does that thing where you like

step to the side like you're stepping casually, but she like does that all the way over towards him.

So like it looks like

she looks like she's like full-on galloping, but

and then she kind of

sidles up to Terry Jr.

is like,

Hi,

so it's been a while.

Yeah,

Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I always have, I mean,

I'm glad you got out of the situation with the black parade and all that.

I was worried, but you handled it.

You're, I knew you would, but I'm glad to see.

Okay, but maybe it was just a phase, you know?

Maybe.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

I mean, I'm still like, I'm still like really, like, sad and

dark.

Yeah, me too.

I mean, why?

Why are you doing this?

Because

I made a mistake.

And I'm the only person who can punish me.

Well, Glenn can.

I guess that's why I came to Glenn.

Yes.

I am your judge, your jury, and your executioner.

That's what being an adult's all about, taking responsibility.

Now, I'm guarded.

Yeah, I don't deserve to go to

the other place yet, I don't think, or ever, maybe.

And yeah, you weren't supposed to see this part.

This was supposed to be sort of just for me.

Well, I'm glad I am seeing it.

I mean, it's like, it's good to see you.

It's really good to see you.

You mean that?

Yeah, of course, I mean that.

I've always liked you a lot.

You're a really, really smart kid who loves your mom a lot and

you know,

okay, clearly

enough about this and me and stuff like that.

It was nudging the memory jar towards you.

I just don't believe that you really

want it to go down like this.

You know what I mean?

So, if you screwed up that bad or whatever, prove it.

She holds the memory jar out.

Dungeons and Daz is brought to you this week by Pretty Litter.

Wait, guys, I got one for you.

Okay.

Pretty litter.

And it's not smelly.

Pretty litter.

It's soft on their paws.

Stays fresher for long.

Roy Orberson uses Pretty Litter.

And Roy Orbison.

If it's good enough for Roy, it's good enough for me.

And Pretty litter helps monitor Roy's cat's health by testing acid.

I didn't say Roy Orbison's cats use it.

I said Roy used it.

Pretty litter helps manage Roy Orbison, the name of my second cat, health by testing acidity and the alkalinity levels in the visible presence of blood in your cat's urine.

I don't know if I need pre-litter to help with that.

But I'll tell you what, them crystals, they're safe for cats and people alike.

They ship to your door free.

So you got to carry it.

How much would you charge someone?

How would you charge yourself to carry it from your car?

How much would I charge myself?

Think about it.

Think about it.

I am thinking about it, and it doesn't make sense.

Terry takes the jar from you, and his eyes begin to glow bright purple, and tears roll down his cheeks.

And you zoom into his memory, and you see Terry is on the phone with Ron.

And Terry says, Yeah, Ron, I just need you to stay there in that field.

And if somebody comes up, just talk to him, just keep them talking.

I'll be by.

What should I talk about?

Because I'm getting a haircut later, and I thought I could use some input from bystanders of what it should look like.

You know what?

That's great.

That's great.

Just talk about your haircut.

It's just, well, I'll just, I guess I could just tell you, it's Nick.

Nick hasn't been wanting to talk to us in a really long time.

He's actually been trying to stay away from us.

So if you could maybe keep him around.

I'm just trying to tell me when you didn't like me very much and then you did.

And now we talk all the time like we are talking on the phone right now.

Exactly.

That's what I'm looking for, is for us and Nick to be friends again the way that you and I became friends.

So if you can just stay in there and sort of keep him talking until I can show up, then that would be super great, Ron.

Sure.

Yeah, absolutely.

I love you so much, Kido.

I'll talk to you soon.

Yeah, I love you too.

And he hangs up and a few moments later nick close walks out of the brush into the clearing so i know there are a lot of cuts in style now but um i actually don't have a lot of hair to work with so i was thinking just shorter on the sides and then kind of keeping it the same on the top because there's nothing really there is that why you called me here nick says you wanted to talk about a haircut well

I heard you might not be getting along with people.

And I happen to be a little bit of an expert in that myself, in going from enemies to lovers, so to speak, but not in a bad way or in a sexy way.

I just meant just kind of like, you know, finding out that your friends love you again.

I'm sure my friends do love me, but we've had a lot of disagreements, Nick says.

They seem to want to take everybody from your world and take them into hell where I live.

And I know that's going to displace a lot of my people and it's going to hurt a lot of cool demons and cool dead people that have been taking up a lot of residence in hell.

And I don't think that's the answer, but they keep nagging me about it.

And it's really beginning to cheese me off a little bit, if I'm being completely honest.

Well, we don't always get to choose who enters our lives and who leaves our lives.

And sometimes you can be like, oh, wow, I got that really good friend in my life.

Or sometimes it's like, oh, I got that mean person to go away.

You become the person you choose to be around, you know?

And

I always say

we're stuck with ourselves longer than we're stuck with anyone else.

So just be somebody that you'd want to be stuck with.

Well, you just said there about we are who we choose to be around.

I think that you might have a good point there.

Maybe it's worth re-examining what they were sort of demanding of me.

I got really heated.

I got really pissed.

I told them the fuck off the last time I saw your son.

But like, I don't know.

Maybe there's a point.

Maybe there's a way we can make it work.

Maybe.

And as he says that, figures start moving in the underbrush around you.

And he goes, whoop, and he turns around and puts his hand on the hilt of his sword that he always keeps with him.

And Lark and Sparrow come out of the underbrush holding crossbows.

To his right, Terry Jr.

comes out.

Hey, son.

So, yep, I'm thinking about getting a little off the side.

Dad, step back.

Okay, sure.

What's going on?

Terry takes out what looks to be a shotgun, but the end of it is glowing blue.

And he points it at Nick and he says, Nick,

I'm really sorry, but

we need to get into hell.

The doodler is going to destroy everybody on this planet, on maybe on every plane of existence, but hell is safe.

And we need to get and Nick says, Oh, and this is how you're, this is how you're asking me at gunpoint.

We, we, we've gotten here, have we?

This is, this is where we are now.

That's incredible.

Lark Sparry, you're cool with this.

Where's Grant?

And then Grant stands up one inch away from all of them,

just completely invisible.

He's like, I'm a pro.

Yeah, exactly.

Sniper.

He's a sniper.

He's a sniper who's five feet away.

He stands up.

Point blank sniper.

Point blank sniping.

And he goes, oh,

that's how it is yeah ron you should probably run for this part and he takes out his sword and a fucking badass fight ensues it's also sad

as nick single-handedly fights off lark and sparrow and grant and terry his sword flashes through the air with infernal rage he manages to cut the crossbow out of lark's hand he kicks sparrow back into the underbrush shock he catches a crossbow bull in midair and throws it at the other crossbow bull and explodes yeah that happens uh and then he grabs Grant's sniper rifle and clubs him across the head with him knocking him out.

And he brings up the sword to Grant's neck as if he's about to kill him and he hesitates.

And in the moment that he hesitates, a blast comes off from behind him.

Terry's shotgun belches blue flame and it blows Nick's arm off at the elbow.

And Nick screams in agony and falls to the ground.

It says, this is your plan?

You thought killing me would get you into hell?

Terry says, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I thought maybe if you were in danger, you would try to escape to hell.

So just go to hell and we'll fall.

And Nick says, fuck you,

and stabs Terry through the leg.

Terry screams out in pain, falls to the ground, and Terry!

He sheathes the sword, once again, plunging the clearing into darkness as he runs back into the woods and disappears.

You are left with the vision of Terry on the ground, his leg with a large cauterized gash in it as Ron rushes over to.

Terry, okay, let's see.

First aid, I've got to have a spell for this or something.

I probably don't.

Let me just wrap it up with my shirt for now.

Thanks.

Thanks, Dad.

You lied to me, kiddo.

You said I was here to talk about my haircut.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did.

I'm going to tell you something that I just told a friend.

We don't always choose who comes into our lives and who leaves it.

And sometimes it can be like, Hell yeah, I got a new friend or hell yeah, I got a mean person to go away.

But it makes the people that we choose to be around and the people that stick with us all the more important.

Yeah, and we're still here and we're stuck with ourselves for longer than anyone else is.

So

I don't think you've been somebody you'd choose to be around lately.

I know that what I said just doesn't make any sense, but.

No,

it makes a lot of sense.

And you're right.

I fucked up.

I fucked up.

And then the memory ends.

Terry is once again crying into Ron's shirt, his body heaving with regret at what he did to his friend.

Scary goes up to Terry Jr.

and is like, hey, man, I mean, like, it's like metal that you are in hell, but that doesn't mean that you, like, deserve to be here or whatever.

I mean, did you see what I did to like my best friend?

Of course I deserve to be here.

Well, yeah, like everybody makes mistakes, though.

Everybody makes big mistakes.

And you showed up, you know?

Like, you weren't perfect, but you showed up, and that's more than a lot of people would do.

Terry reaches an arm around you and pulls you in for a hug.

Scary hugs back.

She says,

I saw you, you know,

at my soccer game.

I felt so stupid always

looking over, you know, to the stands because, like, my dad, my

biological father, you know, he was never there, but I always looked at the stands and I know I pretended not to see you, but I saw you there.

And it meant a lot.

Terry holds even closer and cries even harder.

Do I get extra memory points for a scary memory going into the jar?

Yeah, absolutely.

I think

as

Ron and Terry and Scary all hold one another, you see a purple glow begin to emanate from all three of them.

And you sense this daddy magic, this glow, get stronger and stronger and it leaves their bodies and zooms into the jar, filling it up a little bit more.

And you are now seeing that the jar is halfway full or half empty or half empty or half half empty.

Siri's like, it's cooler that way.

The family close and the family oak are the remaining families who need to get their memories into that jar to give you the daddy magic you need to send the doodler back to its home dimension.

Terry kisses you on the forehead and he says, Thanks, kid, kiddo.

That genuinely means a lot to me.

And I'm,

I love you like a, I love, I love you very much.

I love you too.

too.

Terry drops his sword.

Glenn sees the sword down and he kicks the sword into Terry's hand again.

It's like, I thought we were fighting, loser.

Unguard.

And he's now, he's, it's, but he's defensive.

He's defensive.

He's just blocked.

He's just blocking.

It's like nature's resurrections.

Fight back, god damn it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, everyone.

Whoa, whoa, Mr.

Close.

What are you doing?

Yeah.

Finishing with that sturdy.

Why?

Well, he asked me to kill him.

Okay, but he kind of doesn't want that now.

No, I'm good now.

I'm good now.

Oh, you're good.

Well, the fight's off.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm saying.

What am I doing here?

Unless you're still angry at me for taking your son's arm, but I don't want to be fighting anymore.

Well, I guess I was checking with my son.

Son, are you still angry about your arm being done?

Yeah, but not

like murder angry about it.

He looks at Terry Jr.

and he says, I mean, I hit him?

No, I mean, you.

You want to hit him?

Kind of.

Okay.

But I'm not going to.

He looks at Terry and he says, like, I don't forgive you or any of you.

He says, looking at Lark and Sparrow and Grant, I don't forgive you guys for what you did, but I get it.

I understand.

So

there's that.

Mr.

Close or Nick Close.

Mr.

Nick, what's up?

I mean, can you talk to your dad and like help him with some memories?

Like, we need like an important memory or whatever.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dad, yeah, this Glenn guy seems like the coolest motherfucker who's ever lived.

He's got it all figured out.

What a great guy.

This should be no problem.

You must have got loads of memories with this cool chap.

Here, just take the jar and just like, you know, fill it up.

Just give me, we probably just need like one incredibly important foundational memory that just sticks out.

Just sticks out like in your head, like a rock in your shoe.

Yeah, Nick says, and he takes the jar from you.

I have a memory that you weren't around for, which was the birth of your grandson.

Okay.

We had little Taylor here and you were kind of nowhere to be found.

You were in hell playing a rock concert with Johnny Cash and Elvis and all the other biggest celebrities in hell instead of being with us when my kid was born.

Well, let's take a look.

Can we go to that memory?

Let's go to that memory.

You go into the memory.

He and Cassandra Swift in the delivery room at the hospital.

She's pushing, she's pushing, and Nick keeps looking at his arms.

He has both of his arms at this point in time.

And he's looking at his

office.

He's looking at his watch.

He's sorry.

He's looking at his watch trying to see, like, have you, has he gotten any any calls from you, any, anything?

And he hasn't gotten anything from Glenn recently.

And he is just sitting there holding his wife's.

No, no, no, no, no.

That's inaccurate.

He has one text message from Glenn, which is a shot from backstage onto the assembled crowd.

And it's just like a fucking crowd shot.

And it's just underneath the couch.

It's just sick.

And Nick goes, that is pretty sick.

And then, well, in that moment, Taylor Swift is born.

I've always thought Taylor came out completely silent, like a real stoic ninja.

Nope.

Came out crying like a baby, dude.

Wait, when does Matt get to say what?

No, no, that's fair.

That's fair.

He's a baby.

He's a baby.

Yeah, he's a baby.

Came out crying.

And the doctor goes up to Nick and is like, so you want to cut this umbilical cord, dog?

I'm not going to do the teeth thing.

You can just cut it.

No, no, no, no.

Check this out.

And it gives you a pair of scissors.

Who's this doctor?

This is a cool doctor.

Chill doctor.

You want me to do?

I guess I can do it.

Yeah, sure.

Dad, sorry, I'm so out of my depth here.

Who cuts the umbilical cord?

The doctors, I think.

They offer the dad all the time.

Yeah.

All the time?

Yeah.

Did you guys get to?

Yeah, I cut my son's umbilical cord.

Oh, shit.

Okay.

Yeah.

So, yeah, he takes out.

He rifts it.

He takes the scissors.

Welcome to the world, little Taylor.

As he snips the umbilical cord, we cut forward two days.

Nick and Cassandra are back at their home, and the door opens like

it kicks open, like in a sitcom, and you hear the audience going, like, yay, when it's like their favorite neighbor character shows up, and it's Glenn.

Glenn takes three steps forward and then just falls face down onto the ground, passed out from his drug bender after his incredible concert.

So Nick rushes up to your prone self and goes, Hey, are you okay?

Are you dad, dad?

What's and then he sees the all too familiar glaze of E and other cool drugs that aren't like really fucked up ones.

He was in a hell of a that's yeah, it's a goodness he wasn't doing any fucked up drugs in the scene where he passed out and has a drug problem.

It was a hell party

and then we know it was fun drugs.

Was it a party in hell?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you just make fun drugs by doing it.

It was like demon juice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dog ears on.

Sad.

Dogs.

He was doing soul sword relief.

Dude, he was getting high on soul killer.

And he goes, oh, oh, yeah.

Oh, okay, dad.

Son, the concert was so good.

I took soul killer.

I'm glad.

For three hours, my soul was gone.

That sounded, yeah, that was good.

And then it came back.

Oh, good.

Good.

Anyway, how are you being?

I've been good.

You're a granddad now.

What?

Yeah,

I don't think I want you to see him in this.

Let's go put you in the bathtub and just sort of run the shower for a little while and sort of see what happens.

All right, dude.

Let you cool off.

Do it.

Why?

Look at the thing squirt water at me.

Taylor, as a baby, looks in the direction of the commotion, and Nick tries to position himself between the baby and the grandfather so that his first vision of his grandfather won't be this.

And he takes Grandpa Glenn upstairs and runs the shower for him on cold.

They say the day after you do soul killer is the worst.

We cut forward a couple days after his bender finally wears off and he's cogent enough to know what's going on.

Glenn is sitting sagely in the garden reading a small book.

So Taylor comes up.

So Nick comes up and goes, So did you want to meet the kid?

Oh, yes, yes, please bring the child.

You don't want to come.

He's sleeping right now.

Do you want to come in and see him?

I guess so.

Let me just find a good stuffing point.

Oh, my God.

I'm almost close.

Hold on.

Just finishing up this chapter.

Nick stands there waiting for me.

The end.

Ah.

I don't want to go back.

Glenn just throws the book over the fucking garden wall.

Whatever.

All right, let's see this kid.

So he takes you back to see your grandson.

What is Glenn's reaction to seeing his grandson for the first time?

I think Glenn's reaction to seeing his grandson is...

Nick also mentions like Jodi's been here like five times

since he was born.

Well, yeah, why do you think I'm fucking avoiding this fucking narc headquarters?

Oh, that's oh, that's why you don't want to see your kid while a guy you don't like is around, you're not willing to put that behind you.

Uh, he tried, he did take my wife for a while, it got real complicated.

I can't, but

let me see this kid.

Well, this is your grandson.

This is Taylor.

I think Glenn's reaction is that Glenn like leans in real close and like just like like examines this child like deeply and he's like, hell yeah, bro.

What a cool kid.

I remember.

I remember.

Well, was that you?

Yes.

I remember when you were born.

This is about half the feeling that I had when you were born.

What a little tech.

What do you got?

What's his name?

I just told you his name's Taylor.

Taylor.

Sorry.

Sorry, my soul was dead for three days.

No, yeah, you told me.

Dude, you missed your grandson's birth?

Glenn sees this memory, and I think it's the first time that he's seen himself from like sort of that third eye, like actually looking back in that way.

Because I assume the flashback is like kind of like the unaltered, like true version of the event.

Yes, the objective version.

Because I'll tell you what it was in Glenn's head.

In Glenn's head, he kicks the door and then was like, hey, what's up?

He's like, ah, just in time.

And he gives a big hug in his head.

That's kind of how it played out.

But now he's seeing kind of the reality of it.

And he goes, dang,

I don't know if I I like that guy.

The guy who kicked the door down.

Not everyone else.

He was stumbling around.

He was like, he was not even there.

And this seems like a pretty,

pretty big, big deal for you.

And, you know, Nick, I, yeah, it was.

Yeah, but like, you know, he's here now.

So, like, what's the big deal?

And Nick says, yeah, I mean, I guess I'm saying it like it's a really negative memory, but like, whatever.

I mean, he's home eventually.

And like, you know, I didn't see a lot of Taylors growing up.

And that was, that was like, we're cool now, right, Taylor?

Fuck yeah, dawg.

Yeah, see?

But

look, I'm back now

and I'm super tight and we hang out and we can do samurai shit together and we're fucking, we're, we're tight as fuck.

If I'm going to be honest, dad, I've kind of been hoping and keeping an eye out for time travel magic so that we could go back in time and you could be there for me.

Nick falls to the ground, supporting himself with his one remaining arm and he goes, oh, um.

I didn't know you felt that way.

Yeah, you know, it's just when I was practicing my jutsus, I could have used some pointers.

Yeah, but like as a result, I've developed a number of very bad habits that I'm told are very hard to break.

And, you know, just watching YouTube videos is not the same as having a dad who can fight.

Well, I mean, if it's training you want, we can train you in it.

Like, like you see, you see your grandfather.

I needed to start when I was three to five years old, like true ninja warriors.

Oh, well, so I'm already trying to play catch up a little bit, but, you know, I guess it's water under the bridge.

But, you know, if there is time travel magic, then, you know, maybe, or if you find it, you can maybe pick me up on the way back to the past and, you know, maybe we could do childhood all over again.

Nick is now crying significant tears and remembering, like, yeah, I guess there was another reality where you were my dad and we didn't get to spend that much time together either.

I remember you going to Disneyland without me a lot, and I would just sort of stay at home alone because

I brought you back Dole Whip and it was melted, but you could always just throw it back in the freezer.

Yeah, that was good.

And it was good, right?

Yeah, no, I love Dole Whip.

Yeah.

So we're cool.

So we're cool.

Yeah, yeah.

We're cool.

We're just three cool guys.

Well.

Well, I'm just saying, you know, I could have, you know, not to put too fine a point on it, but dad, I would have appreciated, you know, I didn't even know where you were.

I was 23 and meet my ass and

they just sent you a picture of fire.

They sent me a picture of fire and the cops showed up.

There was a white van parked outside of our house for three years.

So, Nick gets onto one knee and puts his hand on your shoulder and says, I guess I never got to properly apologize to you, did I?

Well, the apology won't really turn back time, and I don't know how I feel.

I would rather have the time travel, man.

Well, I didn't even get to explain.

I was, it was in hell.

I was, I was worried that these fuckers, he says, pointing at Larkin Sparrow and Grant.

Yeah, those fuckers would have chased after me if I had gotten out of hell.

So, you're telling me that these fuckers kept you away from me all these years?

I'm going to have him roll to see if he's going to take this out.

Feels like a wisdom roll.

Yeah, real life lesson wisdom roll here.

And morally, a fairly consequential one.

He got a natural 20.

So I'm going to say that means he's going to take the absolute wrong interpretation of that.

And he's going to go, yeah,

you know what?

It was these motherfuckers.

And he says, pointing at the other dads, he goes, they are the reason I didn't get to spend time with you because they betrayed me.

That makes sense.

I just saw the memory.

I mean,

with your incredible role, you've convinced me yeah yeah so taylor as you say that we sort of zoom into your eyes into your brain and we are now in your memories 14 years later

group health insurance can put businesses in a tough position with rising costs and plans that don't fit everyone's needs Now, a new form of employer coverage called an ICHRA or ICRA can help.

ICRAs make costs predictable with stable pre-tax contributions and they make health plans personal because each employee can pick any planning carrier that meets their needs.

Get coverage you control.

Learn more at ambetterhealth.com slash ICRA.

What do you think would be an important moment in Taylor's life that he would have liked a dad around for?

Oh, Taylor definitely took like any martial arts he has hands on at that time in San Dimas, California is probably not exactly a hotbed of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

So he took like mall karate, like you know, the stuff where it's clearly kind of not sanctioned by any sort of real organization.

There's a lot of...

I won't take this mall karate slander.

There are plenty of hardworking mall karate instructors out there.

Yeah, what the fuck, Freddie?

I'm just saying that this is where Taylor gets his mall material.

It's like Kroger brand karate.

Yeah, this is karate at home.

Yeah, exactly, Beth.

This is the Safeway brand.

Karate is his first like belt ceremony.

It's him getting his yellow belt.

And it's like, he has to, you know, you have your juice, your forms, you have to memorize.

So he's like performing it and doing like all the kios and stuff, like real loud.

He's so focused, dude.

He's not even looking to the crowd.

He's like, I can't, I can't wait.

He's like, he does all the things and he finalizes the form.

He breaks like three boards.

I don't know if they break boards.

I'm just in my head.

This is part of it.

And he's like, he finishes up and he bows and he bows to the left.

He bows forward and he looks up and he looks at the crowd.

And the crowd is applauding, but like polite applause, like, I don't give a shit about this kid.

He's not mine kind of applause.

And you don't see anybody that's how i go to every show my kid's not here i'm just politely applauding i don't actually give a

that's how i treat every movie i go

taylor did a 16 plus 10 acrobatics on that so yeah he got i think bumped you all the way up to a green belt no he just skipped yellow he went straight to the next color belt yeah yeah yeah so taylor finishes up and he looks at the crowd and There's people, you know, cheering, but there's no one there.

His mother's there, though.

He's like sniffling a little bit.

Mom's like, honey, are you okay?

Like, you've skipped the whole best.

I was like, I know, mom.

He looks at his green belt and he looks to the left at the kid that he superseded because there's only a limited number of green belts.

So a kid who was going to get the green belt now doesn't because Taylor rolled a 26 on his performance roll.

And this little fucking snot-nosed kid is sitting there being like, but Twain, I'll show it for this.

And his dad comes in and gives him a big old hug.

And he goes like, it's okay, son.

I saw how hard you worked.

And in my eyes, you're a black belt.

Come on, let's get ice cream together.

Thanks, Dad.

And they fucking hug, and then the whole nuclear family fucking piles into their traditional

heteronormative

Christian nuclear family piles into their Toyota fucking Prius and they drive away.

And then the last glimpse that Taylor gets through the window, they're just leaving, I guess, because the kid didn't get it.

Through the window of the karate place is a smiling kid and a smiling dad and mom as they drive off and blow through a red light because that's how hard they're fucking going out there.

And Taylor looks down at the green belt and he just throws it away.

He's like, I think I'm done with karate.

Oh, that's cool.

The moment that Taylor throws the belt away, we zoom in.

And like straight up, the sensei is like,

you may never come back here again, dude.

He gets kicked out.

He sort of gets kicked out.

So we zoom out of that memory back to the present day.

Nick says,

I'm really sorry.

I'm kind of sensing a pattern here.

Yeah, and I'm thinking that maybe the things that your granddad did, I do now.

I'm thinking maybe I fucked up in the exact same way.

I think, Total lays a hand on Nick.

I think you fucked up in the same way too.

Okay.

Well, that's good.

That's good for me.

Liga's just staring daggers, Zach, Glenn Close, like astonished.

Hey, whoa, whoa, what?

I mean, what did you feel about what you just saw?

Pretty jacked up.

Hey, where were you, Nick?

Jesus Christ, as he says that, Taylor, come here.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

What's up?

Yeah, sorry.

Sorry, I was just learning how to be a cut man from that imp over there.

Turns out there's not a lot to it.

You just cut him.

Nick,

do you know what happened after that day?

I mean, a lot of things happen.

What do you mean?

Well, I guess at some level, I felt guilty about all of that.

Even though the concert was great, by the way.

You never asked, but it was.

It was fantastic.

People loved it.

Yeah, you told me.

Okay, I don't remember that.

But anyway.

You know where I went after that?

That's when I took up a permanent residency as a DJ in hell.

Yeah, I never really asked why you did that.

I assumed you just were having a great time, spending more time with your cool hell musician friends and all that.

Now, to be clear, that part is also true, but there's another thing that was also sort of influencing my decision to kind of let you raise your kid on your own, which is that, like, I guess on some level, I felt kind kind of guilty about missing out on that.

And I thought, if I'm in hell and I kept my distance from you,

then I wouldn't be a negative influence, wouldn't be a bad influence on you and your family.

And maybe you would have a shot at raising your kid all right.

You know, because I'm not, to be honest, I'm not sure how well I did.

And seeing this now,

I think it's actually pretty clear how well I did, which is not very well at all.

And there are many things in a life that that that you can regret some things you don't i don't regret putting on a great concert but i do also regret missing the birth of my grandson so i've been in hell because i've been trying to stay away from you and try to give you a fighting chance but no it didn't work yeah what the hell i had a thought

i think

we gotta acknowledge what happened back there Some people were shitty.

Some people were, you know, maybe not there for the birth of important family members in their life.

Some people, you you know, maybe didn't offer congratulations for one of the best concerts that hell's ever put on.

It's just wall behind us.

What if we, I don't know, man.

What if we started over?

What if we tried to kind of give it a little bit of a reset?

And try to make some new memories together.

As this sort of team of three.

I don't know.

What do you think about that?

Is that stupid?

I don't know.

What kind of memories are you talking about?

Well, I was thinking we all go to Disneyland, the happiest place on earth, and start everything off on the right foot.

It's been so long since I've been to Disneyland, and I'll just, I don't know, let me, let me show you all the secrets.

Let me show you all the hidden pickies.

Yeah, I never got to show Taylor how to get over 900,000 points on the Buzz Light you ride.

And you, Nick, I never show you the secret entrance into Clip 33 that only I know about and requires you to go through the sewers a little bit.

I mean, Mil, oh wow, what do you say?

Maybe.

Maybe we can do something about this all fucked up close family.

Maybe we could bring it on back a little bit.

What do you guys think?

Nick says, Yeah, sure.

I mean, I like Disneyland as much as the next guy.

What do you think, Taylor?

What's Disneyland?

Because he's never had Disneyland, right?

Oh, yeah, no, I guess he never has.

Well, I don't understand.

What's Disneyland?

Oh, yeah, good point.

I guess it's on a previously doodlerized world now with a bunch of really fucked up shit in it.

I'm just saying that, like, give me a chance.

Give me a chance to try and make up for all the, well, I don't, you know what?

No, no, no, no, no.

I can't make up for any of that stuff.

As you're saying this without even wanting it to, tears are rolling down your cheeks.

And in that moment, you and Taylor and Nick all realize that there is no fixing this.

Yeah.

That this is as good as it's going to get, that you are stuck with each other in the forms that you are now.

You see daddy magic, that same daddy magic that exited Ron and Terry's body, emanate from their bodies like a fine mist, coalesce into the air, and then zip into the jar and fill it up a little bit more because that's what your relationship is.

You ever fill up your car with gas and like you pull it and it gets lotto locks, but then for some reason it just immediately stops?

You know what I mean?

You go,

and it clicks and it stops.

That's not my whole tank.

That's exactly how much.

Yes,

turns out this relationship you have is your whole tank of your family's relationship.

I'm sorry, man.

That's probably not enough, and it doesn't make up for anything.

Yeah, I guess not.

But we're here now, right?

Yeah, we're here now.

We're all, you know, we're relatively alive and doing fine, and that's that's something.

And in that moment, you hear gunfire coming from a level above you in hell.

Yeah, don't worry, that's just the gunfire level.

Oh, wait, no, no, no, no, no, it's slightly more gunfire than you.

That's way too much gunfire.

The entire force and might of the U.S.

military begin to stream through this portal on, what do you call them, like little strings that they come down of a helicopter, a little go, go, go.

Like they get on the little strings.

They're fun little strings.

Yeah.

You see them coming off those fun little strings.

Fun facts.

Like everything.

Like jackets, tanks, and a dozen.

in the entire fucking carrier

the whole carrier group somehow you got a tiger cruise they just got a bunch of like military brats like we don't know what to do you soon find yourselves looking at a crowd of dozens upon dozens of u.s military and fbi agents and all kinds of feds and suits and all kinds of shit coming down suits yeah suits creepy suits creepy like men in black type guys ah yeah and uh agent schmegan is there with them ahead of them and he walks up to agent schmegan mr Schmegan,

Mr.

Kicks.

He was a good kid.

I just give him a hug.

It's been a while.

Yeah, thanks again.

He says, patting you on the back for getting us in here.

So the invasion of hell went off perfectly without a hitch.

We have full control of hell.

Oh, what do you mean you have full control of hell?

Not if I have anything to do with it.

Glenn pulls out his home automation iPad, his hell pad, to check on his security systems.

Hell is in shambles.

Oh, what the fuck?

There are

push notifications on plumes of smoke, fiery wreckage of demons and demon vehicles.

I had on sound this whole time.

Disappeared.

Let that be a listen to me, I guess.

Jodi, Morgan, all of your cool hell friends, they are in handcuffs, hell unbreakable handcuffs, and being watched over by members of the military.

You can also see that the guns that they all have, the ends of their barrels are glowing blue, just like you saw in the memory of the shotgun that can actually hurt demons.

What the fuck?

Glenn remotely controls the camera that he's looking at and he zooms in for more information.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Glenn's going going to roll.

Yeah, enhancing perception or investigation.

Investigation.

Is Jodi so locked in knowing that you have security cameras?

Does he have like he knows?

Jodi, is he like flashing a little message?

Oh, yeah, Jody's probably sending me hands.

He's blinking you in Morse code.

Once you say in Morse code.

So in Morse code, he says, get

Taylor and Nick out.

Fuck, he's blinking a lot.

He's just eyes might be watery.

Glenn zooms back out.

He says, I see you have taken command of this kingdom, but you're going to have to go through me.

Yeah, that works.

And he points at you.

All the military raises their rifles and prepares to fire.

I'd like to see you try.

Is Glenn immune to bullets?

Agent Schmangen says, so yeah, what we need is one of you has to be the new king of hell because we have to, the sort of a thing that we do is we come into a country and we reinstall a new leader, Blink.

I think I feel like it should be you.

No,

What do you mean?

I didn't get you guys in here.

Yeah, and he's not a good like king.

I mean, yeah, it kind of hurts, but you're right.

I mean, yeah.

I mean, Scary's our leader.

I mean, not that I'm a good leader or that I would be a good leader of hell.

Normal steps forward and says, I'll do it.

I'll be your king of hell.

He won't.

Taylor steps forward and says, as you know, when it comes to taking over, it's important to keep the family line for continuity of rule.

Ooh, that's an interesting.

Why don't you

find find it out?

Both of us look at each other fear fear in Taylor's eyes Like what the fuck are we getting into?

Why did I open my mouth?

Just a hell cage rises between the two of them.

Why are we in the nocticon?

What happens if we just can we be co-leaders of hell?

Yeah, I'm okay with that.

We only can control one person at a time and a goal.

You can control both of us.

Well, let me put it this way.

Hell is locked down.

He says, looking at his watch and he goes, none of you are leaving this place until we have a new leader for hell.

Bring up the cage and a big lava cloud cage.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Bars made of lava.

He tries to run to get them.

He's grabbing on the cage.

He's like, No, no, no, no, no, no.

I was just saying stuff.

I'm just getting my own way with my feelings.

That was all that was.

Megan, what would your son think?

It emerges and encircles both Normal and Taylor.

Agent Shabang says, Yes, so only one of you gets to leave alive.

Oh my god, boys are so stupid.

All our days whisked away.

Is there there something more to say?

You know that no one knows us better than ourselves.

Used to tell myself it'll be alright.

Pretty lies, let me sleep at night.

I know that no one knows me better than myself.

And I know I'll get this right.

It's just a matter of time till we make it out alive.

We gotta pick ourselves up and say

not today, no, not today

We live for tomorrow, make steel and borrow, break where we can't change

We gotta pick ourselves up and say

not today, no, not today

I don't need your sorrow, come back tomorrow, I'll be on my way

I'll be on my way.
