    There was a standup comedy special I saw by Robin Thede, I believe it may be Disengagement, where she used the term ‘Caucatious’ to refer to white people awkwardly appropriating alternative lifestyles.

    Highlights

    • 00:15:54 While Matt recaps: Ashley, in character as Pike, looks at Sam/Scanlan with disaproval (at the mention of him going invisible in a Duregar camp infested with Mind Flayers) and Sam, in character, deceptively shakes his head in denial.
    • 00:23:00 Ashley’s first roll on the stream, for a religion check, is a Nat 20.
    • 00:28:10 Vax:“Clarota, can you help us understand your kind? Your history? How you’ve come to be here and who this individual is that is fucking with your shit?”
    • 00:43:00 Keyleth:“You’re not diseased, you’re special.”
    • 01:04:25 Scanlan:“So you want me to go in there, solo, invisible, and try to blind this thing. I’m in!”
    • 01:29:55 Scanlan:“By the way, Clarota, you have definitely picked the right people to assist you.” (in the context of the last few minutes of scattered planning, this is hilarious)
      Matt:“There’s no verbal response, but you do just emotionally sense a slight hint of regret.”
    • 01:32:00 Liam is nerding out and excited about the upcoming event.
    • 01:45:00 Matt:“Go ahead and make an attack roll. It would be, uh, you’re not proficient with goblin shit buckets, unfortunately. So just go ahead and roll a d20 and add your dexterity.”
    • 01:46:50 [showing up as the coordinated attack begins] “I’m so happy to be here.”
    • 01:51:28 Matt:“You place the blade squarely into that maw, you feel thescraping of its teeth across your knuckles, but it doesn’t matter, because whatever anger and light was once in its face goes dark and dull. As immediately it crumples to the ground, lifeless, you pull the blade from the maw, mind flayer down.”
    • 01:53:45 Liam:“Ermagerd, I derged.”
    • 02:36:27 Sam using phone app air horn to represent a bardic distraction spell.
    unfortunately

    it does nothing and Scanlan is immediately killed by the Bulette monster

    • 02:44:10 #ArmoredAnus
    • 02:49:03 Fan Art Moment Grog’s finishing move: ripping the jaw off the Bulette, and shouting, with the severed tongue in his mouth, “Who’s next!?”

      Post Play Q & A

      • 03:47:40 [responding to getting celebrities on the show] “Vin Diesel’s good. Uh, I, top of my list is Stephen Colbert because I know he also plays.” - Matt
      foreshadowing

      Colbert would join the table, once as a half-elf named Capo, and again as Lucky Jack

      • 04:04:35 Legend of The S.H.I.T.s: “So, the party had run into a debearded, actually shaven, dwarf named Grimthorn, who wanted to represent them for, what is occasionally, a roving brawling guild, essentially. It’s like, underground fighting rings that happen around the world at different points throughout the year. It may come up again, we’ll see. But, they had to think of a team name, and Scanlan recomended the Super High Intensity Team. Which stuck for a while, and so the group name, against the better judgement of, I think, a lot of the group, became The SHITs. So, their name for a while was The SHITs, they were announced as The SHITs in the ring, when they won the tournament. That was when the pony was cut in half, to indimidate the opposing team. SHITs stuck for a while until eventually they got rid of the SHITs, as all of a sudden they were about to go to the winter festival parade in their honor for saving the entire city of Eman, and the Sovereign Uriel said, ‘What should we announce you as?’ and it was decided not to announce you guys in front of the city, at your parade, as The SHITs. Instead the name became Vox Machina. So, if you’ve heard them say that, that’s the official team name they’ve created for themselves as a group.” - MM [apparently another potential name was The Order of the Brotherhood of the Sisterhood]
