the title reference hit me like a bus

Embroidery Bonanza

Opening last episode with Send in the Clowns and calling this episode Next to Normal… the theater kids are sad enough as we are. You can’t keep doing this to us. Thank you for the anguish, presumably Beth.

Jassims !

You know it’ll be a great episode when it has body horror in the warnings

I literally saw the episode title and said, "Oh, fuck me." :D There's no way that wasn't on purpose.

Ophelia Bee

Oh RIP merch store 💀 Still excited about my Season 2 hoodie when I eventually get it lmao

Sometimes you think you can escape high school and then your favorite podcast becomes about teenagers and names an episode after the musical you listened to obsessively at their age and it’s FINE

freshavocado

Freddie's cat. Omg I'm crying 😆

Liona Lutes

beths ‘not THAT together tho’ kills me

Trevor Dorsey

Long live the Shade Witch!!! 😎

Tsunny Boi

Am I the only one who is hyper fixated on Anthony is willing to do make a wish adjacent appearances for money?

Embroidery Bonanza

Between the jealousy at anyone else getting attention in his dad fact and saying “You’re not feeling what I’m feeling which is nothing,” Link is solidly in his Scary era.

Dusti Nalley

Damn it Willy, how did I not see him coming?

Bradley Barfoot

Matt the legend Arnold with "your dad hasn't grown into somebody proud of himself" is one of, if not the most profound one liners this show has come out with.

Tsunny Boi

Also the new normal would have worked

jen Rogue

I can't wait for someone to animated of lego Lincoln

Jess Houwen

I got so excited when I saw the title because Next to Normal is one of my favorite musicals.

Samantha Mann

The way MY JAW DROPPED at 1:02:48 😱🤯🤬😭😭😭 Daaaamn, Daddy Master! Quit making it hurt so good!

Samantha Mann

Ashley Nicollette

We're doing everything we can to make sure it gets home to you as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience.

ADoubleEgg

What's the song in the background during THAT part? It was great

MissXis

OMG I was screaming for a dispel magic

Widget

willy still at it with the grand reveals! what a good villain

Sarahhh

Fuuuuuuuuuck my spidey senses were tingling i should have known

Devin Willie

You guys have to learn how sneak attack works!! At some point one of you has to read the description!!

Ethan Sadler

Could you imagine if the Ex-Box produced Hermie's body?

BigNovaKane

Fuck! Nice attempt Will.

Danny

When Anthony offhandedly said to Freddy “cast darkness” I lost it 😂

James Thoma-Chace

Where can you submit ideas for magic items? Or is that a higher tier? I got a good one in mind. Edit: found it! Never mind.

Andre Souza

hearing Anthony say “sick little boy” upset me ngl

Phorsi

Great episode to end the year! Psyched for the new year!

Masha Beletsky

Let the cat play 😭 I want to hear him

TrekkingPoles

What music did you guys use at the end there?

Matthew Lemm

Good grief you always get me teared up at work

TheHegemonCaller

IM JUST TRYING TO GET READY FOR WORK. I DONT NEED TO BE HAVING EMOTIONAL REALIZATIONS. SILLY DND PODCAST...

Geekwiththebox

I only started the episode and Matts intro is already killing me

Mike Meade
>>124912370

I think it would’ve worked since there was an ally near the person he was shooting

Esmé

the fucking TITLE I hope u know how much I appreciate this reference I literally just bought tickets to see n2n as well fucking serendipity baby

jeremy adu-asamani

Meanwhile lark and sparrow chilling in the background watching their son have an emotional breakdown…👀

Zack Bochman

Hi Will, I just want to let you know that I'm a 31 year old grown-ass man and you've made me openly weep at work every time one of your characters gets an emotional arc. It's been a rough week and I really needed that one, thanks bud.

Dave Marshall

Absolutely amazing performance. You guys never fail to keep us on the edges of our seats.

Emma Love

Will always hitting it out of the park with the emotional character work holy fuck

Trevor Aucoin

Amazing episode!! That ending 💀🤯 My jaw dropped!

Bree

It’s been so long since we saw Willy I completely forgot about him! Sneaky Anthony!

Kara Joy

Stairs upside down don’t work either…

Cody Lewin

WOW! I did not expect to see them again so soon! Great job y’all!

KingDiabetes

Was not expecting to weep at this episode. Will killed me. Somehow he perfectly encapsulated how I feel when I’m down, and everyone else embodied how my friends pull me up

Shane Murphy

I need aftercare 🤣😭

CallMeDeadE

This episode just made me realize that Taylor swift is just Jay from big mouth loving pillows 😂

nathan seibert

I usually don't comment on anything but I have to say, in the best way, that was one of the most emotionally taxing episode I've listened to in a long time. Bravo guys.

Cali roll

God what a emotionally raw episode. I felt like wanted shout in a conversation im not even part of

Savannah Brinkman

Such a good episode. I’m obliterated emotionally. Just. Damn Dude…

Hannah Membrey

this is funking devastating

Oh Lordii

The emotions in this episode man. Y’all killed it!!

AshFlexum

William Campos you can't keep making me bawl my eyes out on my morning commute to work

Luke Schultz

Holy shit this episode was so fucking good. The teens are on a role. I love this podcast so much

Leo Hall

My favorite intro ever

JeboyHidde

Wai a minute! Will states normal has great trigger discipline, but that can't be the case! The memory is the last training his parents did with him, where he had terrible trigger discipline :0

Ellen H.

I gotta pause for a meeting, but goodness gracious Anthony! The line “I know you did the best that you could, but you needed to be a lot better” physically hurt 😭💔 Hitting all my insecurities when my best effort fails, oooooof, top tier as always.

renaeisgae

STOP MAKING ME CRY WILL 😭😭😭 incredible episode

Lexi SanDiego

I think normal’s theme song now is “Perfecr” by simple plan.

Otto Zeman

cowards for not making the intro a next to normal parody /j

Julia Name

The friendship bracelet is definitely the way to beat Willy. Also if Normal wasn’t concentrating then Willy will be kicked out of heaven in 60 seconds.

WolfGirl

If the gang reads these, I need Beth to know I heard the multiple excellent jokes that went unacknowledged by the rest of the group. They were fab and her genius is wasted lol.

Kyle Dawson

As a heads up, you don’t need to be SNEAKING for sneak attack to apply. As long as an ally is next to the rogue’s target, sneak attack activates. Just making sure you guys know for the future.

Seaglassslipper

I'm looking forward to their wedding anniversary! 🥰♥️🔔

hi hungry, I'm Beck

Who is going to tell Freddie that stairs wouldn't work upside down either. You'd just have a slope or like, a pit.

Alex

Am I crazy? I swear Anthony gave the players the ability to pick one item from the patreon submissions every episode, but they haven’t done it for like half the year. Did they ever roleplay a reason why they don’t do that anymore?

Corey Cox

I don’t really comment on stuff on here, but gotdang that was an absolute banger of an episode.

Rachel

Is that the same merch store that filed bankruptcy?! A couple bands I follow said the same thing about their stock and orders. Amazing intro.

Arielle

Scary makes me cry, my Oak boys make me cry ❤️ @ the 59 minute mark: Linc continues to be ZESTY WOW

Patrick Morris

Like I get that they don't follow the rules, but damn it frustrates me when they can do something RAW but think they can't, so then make up some crazy reason why they can. Freddie can use sneak attack as long as a friendly is within 5 feet of the enemy. I mean the whole flaming marshmallow thing was way more dungeons and daddies, but still Freddie that's like rogues main thing you should atleast know how that works

Sam J Murphy

I love the musical title reference!

Maddy

There's something very chilling about a grown man putting a collar on what we perceive to be a teenager 🤔 troubling!

Harrison Lee

I think freddy shohld go back to his gut and be an artificer

Jeff Melon
>>125022361

Your not crazy. it bugs me too but I think they just forgot or thinks it’s to op for situations

Tree Embrace
>>125079168

That's got to be one of the least problematic things that man has done on this podcast, and that's saying something.

SlwDnceChbby

as a Canadian i will check that out

Grizz Lee

Normal can’t catch a break

Cecilia B

I can't survive until Jan 16th. This was too much. I literally gasped out loud in public at the end! Well done folks. Happy holidays!

Matt Redman

If there is a spell to undo just one thing it needs to be called the Omega 13.

Taylor

I wanted to vomit at about 8min left from anxiety. Have to keep reminding myself this is a game 😹

Jason Boulet

I’m glad I’m the first sick kid (now adult) to be apart of dungeons and daddies 😂 we need to make a club. And it’s hilarious the two sick kids who were apart of dungeons and daddies somehow are Canadian 😂❤️

Andrew Katapodis

As a rogue player, THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO PROC SNEAK ATTACK COME ON GUYS

I hate Italians

I can never tell if will is actually crying

Phoenix Vizva’i

Dungeons & Daddies: not a BDSM podcast, but is a PTSD podcast

Elle Campbell

This has unfortunately nothing to do with the episode but idk where to submit listener questions for teen talk and I have to know. Is Matt @matthewplayswithfire on tiktok?? If not, Matt there's a pottery guy with your exact same name doing incredible work you should check out

chadikins

So is link now lincoln logs?

Gabe Brown

What if Dood is actually god, and that’s why the throne was empty the first time they were there.

Doot Doot

This is gonna get drowned and I don’t even know why I’m commenting. But FREDDY YOU DONT NEED PERFECT CONDITIONS TO SNEAK ATTACK YOU CAN SNEAK ATTACK WHENEVER AN ENEMY IS ENGAGED ON ONE OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS OR PREOCCUPIED WITH ANOTHER ACTION TAKING THEIR FOCUS AWAY.

Andrew Katapodis

Link continues to be the worst character this podcast has ever created

Ross Skeggs

Didn’t they discover that lark or sparrow unleashed the doodler?

King Humble

Concerning Tamoku... let 'em cook.

Rowan Gingras
>>125022361

I think they stopped after the teen gang lost access to DADDIES headquarters, which is where the items were.

Beck Webster

Yesssssss the return of shade witch in the opening 🧙‍♀️

Pablo Acosta

SPOILER . . . . . . . . . . Honestly, it should be no surprise that Anthony would pull a surprise baddie disguised as another goodie at a key moment. It’s not like he’s tricked us before… (S1 Finale episodes, GoW Ragnarok)

Nicole Jordan

Sort of off topic but Freddy’s thing about an undo button item, Gift of Gab kinda is that for social stuff

Purple Cool Cat

Willy and his disguise trip will always be my favorite trick of his

victor lol

id like to have a word with YOU. will campos

Just Drago Games YT

"YOU are the glue Norm" 😭😭😭😭 shit hit hard

Erik Hebert

"I know you did the best that you could but you needed to be a lot better"

Nico

Infinity war vibes here. We in the endgame now

Dr Giggles

Beth and Anthony are the best.

Cassidy Skillett

I once stepped on a lego and ended up going to urgent care for antibiotics for a severe infection

Seralyn Blake

HOLY CRAP "I know you did the best you could, but you needed to be better" HEART WRENCHING

Charleen Lamphere

Why was the creature's cell so easy to open? It had the power to cause all that destruction, but the cell could be opened by anyone? Or was Normal set up? 🤔😭

Becky Ferguson

IF WILL HAD JUST ROLLED BETTER ON HIS INSIGHT WHEN TALKING TO WILLY AT THE END THIS ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED

Ethan

The DM take over has been crazy

Matthew Morse

Love the musical reference title, I see you Beth

ADoubleEgg

I NEED Willie's instrumental

Jesse Barbour

Normal is the most season 2 character. First time I listened to these last few episodes Normal was the low point. Every other time I listen, he's my favorite. Will did such a good job, dang

Kai and Lauren S.

Y’all wanna go back to a comedy podcast or is your whole shit gonna be triggering childhood trauma now?

Steve Pickwell

Normal’s such a drama queen.

Josh Redcliffe

Another emotionaly brilliant episode! I love you guys so much!

Zoltan

Freddie has been a ranger most of this season and didn't bother making or using a bow until after he decided to no longer be a ranger. 🤣

Gideon Greer

Am I insane or did they never use the sword that gets stronger when you whisper secrets in it

Q Quigley

Who put all these tears on my face? Why the fuck am I cryin' in the club right now? Who hid this broken heart in my goof-em-up show? Goddamn...

Marissa Y

The past few episodes, Norm started to become my favorite of this season until Scary told him he was the glue 😭 (I have had Scary for 48 episodes and if anything happened to her - ) Normal really is the glue - he's the only one of the teens that hasn't betrayed/turned his back on them at any point (I use the word "betrayal" SO loosely, like Taylor's "betrayal" was leaving Linc to potentially die at the hands of the FBI, LOL). Someone give that kid a hug.

UrdnotVick

Damn, Beth got the Kelly Bundy woo
