(bomb exploding) - Hello one and all!
Welcome to another thrilling episode of the "Dimension 20:
Never Stop Blowing Up."
I'm your humble game master, Brennan Lee Mulligan
and with me, as always, are our Awesome Action Heroes.
Say hi, Awesome Action Heroes.
- [All] Hi, Awesome Action Heroes.
- Ooh, look at these abilities.
Look at that sheet.
- Full of suites. - Strapped up.
- The penthouse.
- [Ally] The penthouse suite. - La Familia, Diesel Circus,
Alpha Squad, and The Ones all unlocked
in the last "Adventuring Party" where we've been doing
some character advancement in this system,
which is, again, inspired by a bunch of the mechanics
we love from Kids on Bikes
as well as the D20 dice game-
- Murph's terrible dice game.
- Murph's terrible- - That ruins all of our day.
- Murph's terrible dice game that ruins all of our day,
but there is something about it.
- It's so good. - Hitting every highest number
and you keep going up that the people love.
So in the last "Adventuring Party,"
we bought a suite of abilities.
We finished up with Diesel Circus,
which now means that everybody can roll twice
on the first roll after an injury
and a successful Drive check lets you make
another skill check on top of it.
We bought all of Alpha Squad,
so it means if you use different skills in a scene,
the explosion range comes down.
So if you like collaborate in a fun interesting way
where you're using different skills,
explosion range comes down.
Two people can roll the same skill once per episode,
add the totals together.
And you may suit up once per episode
and everybody takes two Turbo Tokens as you suit up.
And then you've got The Ones,
which are three different abilities that happen
if you roll a nat one on a skill check.
Once per episode, you can choose to treat a nat one
as a max die roll and blow up.
On a nat one, you may choose to re-roll the failure
with a different skill,
and that is actually also once per episode.
That's also a once per episode ability.
If you accept a nat one,
gain half the Turbo Tokens of the die value.
But you have to accept the nat one.
You have to say, I'm accepting this failure, right?
So in our last episode, oh my God,
brawls with two dog mask wearing bad guys
at the Eastminster Kennel Club Bloodbath.
We had a wild fight at the home of Lucy Santangelo
against Shaun Nitro and a group of snipers.
There was an air raid, bombs were flying everywhere.
And we had Usha get taken over by G13
and crash into Carter Haldwell
and get the badge back out of his pocket.
We ended last episode with Kingskin and G13,
Liv and Usha being collaborators with Agent Haldwell
and going to the FBI field office here in Los Angeles.
With Doug Meat joining up with Wendell,
Russell, and Paula, AKA Vic Ethanol, Jennifer Drips,
and Detective Jack Manhattan, all taking off together
along with an unconscious Shaun Nitro, Lucy Santangelo,
Johnny Manhattan all in tow.
And with a bunch of MacGuffins,
we have the security clearance for Agent Haldwell
back in Jennifer Drips's hands.
We have the bullet casings of the murdered Cosmo Chase
in Jack Manhattan's hands.
And I believe we have some MacGuffins
that Jennifer's hanging onto as well,
which are the Shadow Falcon Protocol,
yeah, both of those, and Kingskin's cocaine,
with Greg Stocks as you take off
into the dark streets of Los Angeles.
And this is where we're actually going to return
in this moment, coming back to the LA city streets.
(dramatic music) Moving through the area here,
you see that there is a distant sort of radio tower
and see there's a small sort of FM station
and as you sort of approach it, you can't help but think
about the world waiting you back in Lake Elsinore
if you're able to make it out from this place.
But you do see the name of the station
and its like broadcast frequency.
And you do see that there is a single sort of vehicle,
like a junky white van parked
out in the parking lot as you approach.
- I think on the way over, you know,
he's coming off of his juice.
He just had this big sort of like moment of failure
and he like books it out of the door.
Doesn't even know if that's like the right call.
So we've got all these like moments of doubt
and as he approaches this door, I think he probably thinks
about like the first time his uncle was like,
"Hey man, you can live with me in LA anytime.
I know Anthony Kiedis." (Brennan laughing)
And just thinking about like kind of what put him there
and like remembers pulling off his radio flyers
so his uncle couldn't see his failures
of this thing that he tried to do.
And I have a question, has Greg Stocks ever cried?
- No.
(Jacob imitating water dripping)
You feel the strange burning
of tear ducts completely atrophied with lack of use
searing, like, hot pain as the first tears
kind of stumble down your cheek.
- And I give it a little wipe and I'll kind of poke my head
into the door of the radio station.
And boy does that, it's one tear.
It's all it is, it couldn't be more than that.
- Yeah, you see that it's mostly like, it's about probably,
you know, one or two o'clock in the morning right now.
The place is mostly deserted, but walking in,
you notice that there was some interesting
kind of wiring up on the side of the radio tower.
Go ahead and give me a Wits check.
Call it Wits four here.
(die clacking) - Six, blowing up.
- Woo! - Blowing up, baby.
- That's right. (explosion thundering)
- Another six. - [Brennan] 12, beat it
by more than five. - Mm-hmm.
- You see wiring coming from a janitor's closet here,
but it's partially hidden.
It's sort of like the foamy kind of ceiling tiles
and you see that some of them
are clearly being weighed down by some wiring
the building shouldn't have just laying down
on the foam ceiling tiles, and you see it
coming with sort of some patchy work
out of a janitor's closet.
- I recognize like an RCA tube.
- Yeah. - I'm like, oh,
I have one of those. - Yeah.
- I'll follow the wires.
- Open the janitor's closet and in the back,
you turn and see this sort of red light
and it's sort of like, there's one of those deep
almost to the floor wash basins
for a janitor's closet, the mop.
But you see that there's a door kind of slightly ajar
behind one of those shelves, and you see that the shelves
are those kind of metal connected ones
that you sort of like assemble, you know,
with like washers and nuts sort of like to have
the cleaning equipment on.
But you see it's not actually touching the floor.
It's bolted to the wall and the wall slides
and you hear a voice coming out of a crack
in the wall back there going,
(howling) "That's right.
Stay sharp out there, you midnight sailors.
Wolfman Ann coming to you from the head of the pack.
Hope your hunting's good out there.
We've got a crate full of AK-47s waiting for you
enterprising buccaneers out there at the La Cañada
food pantry. Stay sharp, stay frosty.
We gotta show these motherfuckers what time it is.
Tick tock, buccaneers, tick tock."
Go ahead and gimme a Sneak check.
- One of my few d4s. - All these AK-47s?
- A bucket full. - Two.
- As you sort of slide the wall open,
you see this like huge decks and recordings
and things like that.
As you open it, you see a tiny little toothpick
just falls on the ground in front of you
that was leaned up on the sliding door.
You see this older woman like crouched over in the booth,
headphones on, skin's sort of weathered with age,
crow's feet around the eyes, white hair,
this thick leather jacket like rough around the edges
and she's smoking in this little room,
a weird sort of overhead floodlight on her.
She goes, "Stay tuned for the Professor,
my friend and yours, running you through how to use
simple match heads and household supplies
to build a bomb out of a tennis ball."
And you see that she clicks a recording,
turns around, two barrels on you.
(Rekha gasping)
- Do it. (all laughing)
Just fucking do it. (Alex laughing)
I'm a piece of shit. (Rekha gasping)
- She sort of takes her gun down
and says, "Jesus Christ.
(Jacob laughing) You're covered in blood.
What's your deal, stranger?"
- I'm running from some bad people and I saw this radio
and just something called me and whenever I get a call,
I never hang it up.
- She looks and says, "Keep yourself open.
That's how we channel."
- (gravelly) Right on. (Ify laughing)
Is that a real reel 1986 Toshiba?
- "Oh hell yeah, you wanna touch it, go for it."
She says, "Come on in," puts a hand out and says,
"Wolfman Ann." - [Jacob] Stocks, Greg Stocks.
- Give me Sneak.
She blows up.
Give me Sneak 17.
- (laughing) Whoa.
(die clattering) (Rekha gasps)
Strong, that's a one. - Shh.
- Oh- - But-
- Oh, The Ones, yes.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Ones could be max.
- You can treat a nat one as a max dice roll,
so I guess I would blow it up.
- You would blow it up.
Or you can also- - Well 17, I think
I'm just gonna- - You can accept the one
and take half the value
in Turbo Tokens. - I'll just take two, yeah.
- Hell yeah. - I'll take two Turbo Tokens
and accept the one.
- Hell yeah, she looks at you and goes,
"Is that your real name?"
- No, my name's Dang.
(Izzy gasps)
I'm not from here.
- I'm not from here either. - [Rekha and Izzy] What?
- Where are you from?
- The world.
(Alex gasping)
- How'd you get in here?
- Barsimmeon sucked me in.
Lost my MacGuffin a long time ago.
- How long do you think you've been here?
- It was about 1994. What year is it out there?
- You don't want to know, brother.
(Brennan laughing) It's 2024.
- God damn.
- So you're really from out there?
- "Yeah, I'm from out there.
In 2024, so I got, that's about 30 years."
(inhaling) Holds up the cigarette and says,
"Doctor said I had less than a year left,
so that's not bad."
- Well, I'm glad you're still here.
- "Didn't want to go home." Holds up the cigarette.
- Oh, so you had a chance to go home but you stayed?
- Out there, I've got less than a year left.
- [Jacob and Brennan] Dang.
- How'd you find yourself here?
You know, I tried to do this at home
and it worked for a little bit,
but then some of my wires fried and I tried to replace 'em
and then the to-do list just got so long
that doing one thing seems impossible,
even though I just needed to do a couple.
It just felt like I couldn't even get started
and then two months went by and then four months went by
and then seven months went by and I just, I just never
got back into it.
(gentle music) - I know what you mean.
I think I lived an all right life
back out in the real world.
Nobody had too much shit to say about me.
Never did anything that wrong.
Went along to get along.
- Smooth sailing, slow's good, slower's better.
- Yeah, except I started to get towards the end
and I looked back, never got in anyone else's way,
never got in my own way.
Years went by and I realized that's just staying still.
You know, this place is a piece of shit.
Everything's always blowing up.
Missiles shoot out people's cars.
You walk to the grocery store, some cop's hightailing it
after a pickpocket hits you with their hot rod, you're dead.
Wake up again, the movie starts over.
Bomb goes off, you wake up, you know, all this bullshit.
- So you can't die in the movie?
- Watching all the people that live
in 'Never Stop Blowing Up,' they die, they come back.
So I started up this pirate radio station,
try to help 'em out.
Every time the movie starts over, I go and I find, you know,
that elementary school, those, those little kids
that are always just the victims in stories like this
and I give 'em guns. I say, 'Fight back.'
Next time you see a cop jump into a hot rod, kill his ass.
- Hell yeah. - You know?
- Hell fucking yeah.
- Don't be a fucking bystander.
I was a bystander my whole life.
I thought I was taking it easy.
But whether you take it easy or you take it hard,
you're taking one step towards the grave every day, Dang.
You gotta make it count.
You know, 'Never Stop Blowing Up,' stories like this,
I don't know what the fuck is going on, you know?
- It's crazy.
- It's fucking
absolutely mental, man.
- I don't know that there's a lot of lessons to learn
from worlds like this, which barely makes any fucking sense.
You're in a speedboat, someone with a mask
tries to karate chop your head.
- There was a sniper with a cannonball.
- [Brennan and Jacob] Why?
- Why? - What the heck, man?
- Not a lot to learn from places like this.
- It's a little fun.
- But too much fun
will make your tummy sour.
- I guess I've been in this VHS tape for 30 years
and without too many lessons from the sort of bizarre,
glossy, constantly on fire bullshit going on,
maybe there's one lesson this VHS tape had to teach me
back on the outside.
- What? - If you got something
you need to do, you better fucking do it.
- How do you start?
- You see that she tosses the shotgun to you and goes,
"It's one bullet at a time."
- Dang. - And that's how you
build a bomb out of a tennis ball, folks.
I'm here in the studio with my man, Greg Stocks.
Greg, welcome to the program.
- Woo! (Brennan howling)
(upbeat music) - Attention freaks, geeks,
punks, crusts and everything in between,
there's a live show tonight at the FBI parking structure.
Minor Threat, Hüsker Dü, and Black Flag.
All punks bring your blades, bring your chains,
and bring your motherfuckin' attitude.
We're getting somethin' done, motherfuckers.
- Woo, give me a Hot check.
I'm gonna say just- (laughing)
- [Alex] Oh my God. - Give me a Hot check
and roll it with advantage.
That's not even a thing in this game system.
- (laughing) Yeah. - But roll with advantage,
roll it twice and take the better roll.
- Okay, okay, a two.
And a one. (all laughing)
- But- - I'll take the one.
- Oh, take the one, max value.
Okay! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, so wait, that blows up.
- Woo! - What die are you
rolling for Hot? - And then I'm at a d10.
- You're at a d10. - But also I have Smokin',
so it lowers by three.
- Lowers by three, hell yeah.
- Lemme get my d10 in the mix here.
(explosion thundering) - So d8 blows up.
- Oh, another two.
- Hell yeah, difficulty 10.
You call that out, you see that there's this wild phone
(phone ringing) with this huge chunky
1980s like server on the back of it
that starts to light up and she goes,
"Ooh, we're getting some calls!"
And we're gonna cut from that scene with Greg
siccing the pirate radio punk scene on the FBI field office.
- Warped Tour's happening tonight in the parking lot.
- Hüsker Dü! (Rekha laughing)
- Hüsker Dü, baby! (Jacob laughing)
We cut back to the FBI field office.
(dramatic music)
Usha, or should I say G13,
being wheeled into the interrogation room, crouched inside
of a plastic lined trash can is Agent Carter Haldwell.
- [Rekha] Because he's pissing
so he has to be in a trash can.
- (whispered) Yeah. - [Rekha] Yeah, I get it.
- [Brennan] Do you get it? - [Ally] Does it sound like
it's almost full?
- It sounds like they got him in here fresh.
You hear the noise of piss on plastic.
- I... - [Jacob] Shit.
- What's up? - You love that?
- He is wheeled in here and looks at you and goes,
"G13, you got a lot to answer for. Close the door."
You see that the guys close the door
and he goes to his watch, clicks it.
Gimme a Wits eight.
(die clattering) - That's a four.
- [Brennan] He clicks something on his watch.
You don't see what happens but he looks up at you and says,
"Cameras are dead, G13, we can speak bluntly.
What the fuck happened?
Last night, everything was going off without a hitch
and you failed to upload the Protocol.
Getting cold feet?"
- My feet have never been warmer.
- (scoffing) My feet have never been warmer.
You need to start talking.
- Now, a question as both Rekha and G13.
Because G13 is like hacked into this old lady's brain,
does he know why he didn't upload it?
- He was about to- - Yes.
- And Usha zapped into his brain and fucked it up.
- Yes, and he knows that?
- Yeah, do you wanna try to dig into G13's memories more?
- Yeah, I was gonna ask, can I hack his brain,
but I've already done that move so maybe it's not as cool.
- What's your Wits at right now?
(dramatic music) - I'm at a d10.
- Give me a Wits eight to try to dig in another memory here.
- Okay, eight! (die clattering)
- Eight, sick.
You dig in and remember that G13 did not want
to assist the Shadow Falcons.
- Okay. - But they basically had
a member of his hacker collective whose name was Slicer.
- Slicer and Banks, okay.
- You go in and there's something in G13's memory
about Slicer that G13 is like, "Slicer is good people,
I don't want to see Slicer killed."
And there's a moment where G13 is sort of like,
"Oh, I need Slicer for my plans.
Like Slicer is a part of the HIVE
and that's my hacker collective and I don't wanna see that."
Give me Wits difficulty five.
(die clattering)
- This is ten?
- I think it's a one.
- It's a one. - Yeah, sorry.
There should be a double zero.
- So that's a one, which is for The Ones, right?
So you can treat that- - You can blow that up.
- [Brennan] As a max thing and blow up if you want to.
- I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna blow up.
- Boom. (explosion thundering)
- [Brennan] All right, that's your one
for the episode, boom.
- Okay, so d12.
That's a one. - Cool, so you get an 11.
- Okay. - Beating it
by more than five. - Yeah.
- As he goes, "I need Slicer for my plans,"
wherever Usha is, she feels something different
about that relationship that G13 is not focusing on
and that's all I'll say about that.
- Okay. - They basically told you
like we know where Slicer is
and can like fire on them at any moment.
- Okay. Hey man, I'm a hacker.
I'm not loyal to anybody except curiosity, okay?
I follow whatever my fancy and if you've got something
good enough for me to follow, then I'll help you out.
But you come for people in my collective,
then I'm off your team.
- (scoffing) You don't have leverage, G13.
You walk away from here, your pal's as good as dead.
Lucky for you, we've discovered
that we couldn't have gone last night anyway.
There's a roadblock in front of the Protocol
and we need you to solve it.
- Roadblock in front of the Protocol?
- (breathy) What do you know
about the Archimedes Contingency?
(Jacob laughing)
- G13 inherently feels like he knows everything about it,
(laughing) but Rekha doesn't.
- Yeah, give me Wits eight.
- Okay, that's a one. (Jacob gasps)
But I will re-roll.
- Okay.
Using a different- - I love that the failures
are not feeling like failures.
- Yeah, totally, there's more like elasticity.
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay, I will re-roll using a different skill.
I will use my Tech.
- Okay, you're using Tech, gotcha, yep.
(die clattering)
- Five, so sick. - Okay.
All right,
take the Turbo Token. - (Ally laughing) So sick.
- So sick, disgusting. - So disgusting.
Okay, so can I give flavor as to why I might not know?
- Yeah, yeah. - Okay, G13 by all accounts
thinks he's a genius.
If he's wrong, if he was like, "Two plus two is five,"
and someone's like, "That's actually incorrect."
He's like, the immediate is, "That person is so stupid,
they're not on my level.
They're not on my level to be even talking."
- Why'd you point at me?
- And they're just like not on my level.
- (laughing) Uh-huh. (Rekha laughing)
- It is deeply embarrassing.
This is the type of person that even if they're not supposed
to know something, when they don't know something,
that is hurtful to them.
And he internally is like, "It's that fucking old lady."
He's blaming his lack of wits on Usha.
He hasn't fully hacked her yet.
- Gotcha, you see that Haldwell goes, "You don't know?
(laughing) Well, all you need to know is this.
You better cough up that Protocol right now
and if you don't, Slicer's as good as dead.
Where is it?"
- There's...
a gym of backflippers
that practices only at night. (Alex laughing)
I've buried it deep within the walls.
- (laughing) "Gym of backflippers."
- Give me Hot difficulty six.
(die clattering)
- (laughing) Three!
- Haldwell leans in really close and you can hear
splashing inside the trash can.
- (laughing) Ew. - And he leans in close
and goes, "Nice try, G13.
Professor Gunshoot's an old friend."
And you see he goes, "Wheel me outta here."
And you see the agents come in and go, "Jesus Christ,"
and slowly push him out.
You see he says, "Think long and hard, G13,
about who your real friends are.
Get all the tech out of his hands."
And they come in and get all your gear
and they fully straitjacket you, and they haul you off.
(door squeaking) Door opens elsewhere.
Agent Haldwell is wheeled in.
- [Alex] You kept me waiting.
- (Brennan laughing) Throws a dossier on the table.
- [Izzy] Stop it, stop it.
- (Alex laughing) Oh no. - [Izzy] Stop it.
- Throws a dossier on the table.
"Steven Skin, Princeton, West Point.
Courted for the CIA, courted by the NSA
intelligence community.
Incredibly accomplished.
You threw your fucking life in the toilet
to run around whipping dogs with a grenade whip."
- I don't see it that way.
- Yeah?
You could have been at the top of the world,
man with his finger on the button.
Instead, you're getting barked at by the Empresario,
brick full of cocaine and blood on the table.
- Aren't I on top of the world?
I go up to a random man or woman, they're happy to see me
'cause we have history.
Well, they're not always happy, but we do have history.
That's kind of nice.
- You can fuck your way through the criminal underbelly
of Los Angeles all you want, Steven.
- Why do you say it like that?
- Because you had a chance at power, at prestige.
You had a chance to make something of yourself
and you threw it away.
- Liv hears this but then like takes a moment,
feels herself in Kingskin's body and is like,
I think I am happy, I think I like my life.
Is that what this is about?
- What this is about is a floppy disk
that is currently missing and a security badge,
and I think you know something about it.
- Never seen either of those items in my life.
- What do you know about Santo Patron?
- Don't know anything about that either.
Unless you have some kind of specific accusation here,
I don't think you should be holding me.
- Oooh. - Lawyered up, lawyered up,
lawyered up! (Alex laughing)
- Call the phone number.
- [Brennan] Give me a Hot check.
- Hot check. - Difficulty of eight.
- Okay, rolling a d10.
Five.
- Go ahead and take a Turbo Token.
- Okay. - You see he says,
"You want to talk to a lawyer?
Yeah, I got a lawyer for you, public and defender."
- Hmm. - "Shove my trash can
at him, boys," and you see they shove the trash can
and he's gonna take a swing at you.
- All right, Kingskin is laughing.
(all laughing)
- Brutal.
- Go ahead and gimme Tough.
Difficulty is one, he rolled a one.
- Oh, now I feel bad. - [Jacob] Fuck him up.
(die clattering)
- Six.
- Okay, you succeed.
- I stay absolutely still
and just see what Haldwell tries to do.
- He swings, but you can imagine that a lot of the force
from a punch needs you to kind of be rooted to the ground
and he's in a rolling trash can full of piss.
- And that piss is sloshing around.
- It's just sloshing, and as he hits you,
most of the force actually pushes him back
in the wheeled trash can. (Ify laughing)
- It would cause the piss to swish too.
- Yeah. - Yes.
- Does it get a little bit in his eyes?
- Can we do a swish check?
- Can you do a swish check
if it gets in his mouth or his eye?
- You see that he says, "Get me off him, I'll kill him."
And you see that they sort of go to wheel his can back,
but you can act before that.
- As they're about to wheel him back,
I just reach out one hand to grab onto his shoulder
so he can't leave my vicinity.
- Hell yeah, give me Brawl.
He'll oppose it with Tough, that's a 10.
(die clattering)
- Eight. - So he is pulled
away from you as he runs outta the room.
He says, "Huh, get that animal off me.
Get that monster off me."
- Slippery. - (laughing) Ew.
- You see G13 in the straitjacket
is tossed onto the table in front of you.
You're handcuffed to the table.
He looks at you and says, "I think these two piggies
need some incentive to squeal.
Call me old fashioned but I usually like to wait
till December for my Christmas ham."
You see he says, "Shut the door and let's get cooking."
You see two pieces of paper are slid across
with two fountain pens.
"You write down what you know
about the Archimedes Contingency or anything to do
with the Santo Patron. And you have as much time to do it
until you fall asleep."
And they close the door and you hear it lock.
- Well, I'm in a straitjacket.
(all laughing) Idiots.
- And you know, the essay portion of the SAT
that's like bullshit anyway.
(inquisitive music) - It's optional.
- Oh. - [Brennan] Smoke begins
to fill the room and as it does so,
I'm gonna need both of you
to make a difficulty 20 Tough check.
- Oh my God, they're so fucked
- It's a sleeping-
It's a sleeping gas.
- Oh my God. - That shit was sick!
(Brennan laughing)
- That shit was sick!
- Four. - (screams) Ah, I'm scared!
- Four, but I'm gonna use two tokens to blow up.
- Okay, we blow up, boom. (explosion thundering)
- I got an eight on a d10.
I could also- wait, what's the difficulty?
- The difficulty is 20. - 20.
Sure, I'll blow up also.
- Oh seven, but on a d8, I blow up.
- Okay, double blow up, so double the amount of tokens
that are in your tray.
- Beep boop boop.
(explosion thundering)
Sad, but that's okay. (Rekha laughing)
- That's sad, okay. - That's okay.
- That's sad. - So wait, that's an eight.
You rolled an eight and- - 14.
- 14, six and eight, 14. - Okay.
- Well, what do we have over here?
We blew up over here, Alex?
(explosion thundering) - Yeah, I had an eight
on a d10, I used two tokens to blow up.
Now I'm rolling a d12.
- D12, okay, awesome, go for it.
- I got a four.
- Okay, so 14 and four is 18.
Two shy, here we go.
- It's four.
- Okay. - Can they try and do
an Alpha Squad?
(Rekha and Brennan gasping)
- Oh, and add their rolls together?
- Yeah. - You can do the Alpha-
Good eye, Ify. (all gasping)
You can add them together.
- Okay, so what, I had a 14.
- So 14 and you had an 18. - 18.
- Together, that is 32, yeah, that's 32.
- Wanna do it? - Alpha Squad.
- Yeah, Alpha Squad baby. - We lock eyes.
I am fully straitjacketed up.
We make like a little like...
(Ify laughing)
- Yeah describe for me like as you guys embrace,
you pick him up in the straitjacket
and each of you can use the other person
basically like covering your nose in the fabric
of the other person's clothing
to get a sudden like seal over your mouth.
- Yeah, we make like a circular human centipede
kind of like covering our noses.
- Oh, that's kinda what you're up to?
- Do I flip you upside down?
- Yeah.
- We're 69ing? - Cool.
- Yeah, you're 69ing with someone in a straitjacket
on top of a table.
(all laughing) - Great, you two begin
to 69, awesome.
(Alex laughing)
We cut outside.
- I thought it was a different way. (laughing)
(Ify laughing) - We cut outside.
- No there wasn't. - Jennifer, Vic, and Jack,
you all roll up outside of the FBI field office
and you can see, (dramatic music)
something fucked up is happening.
You see that there's a sort of parking garage
down the street and you see a couple of people out there
just kind of clinking glass bottles together.
You see that there are some kids on like motorcycles
that have just sort of come up.
Hydraulic car rolls up with a bunch of guys
that have like headbands, lead pipes, chains,
one guy sort of tossing a knife in the air.
You see there's a weird vibe brewing on the street out here.
You see a couple like,
"We wanna see Black Flag, Black Flag!"
And someone goes, "This is an FBI field office.
Black Flag is not playing tonight."
What do you do as you roll up here?
- Damn, I wanna see Black Flag.
- Yeah, I'm kinda looking around and I'm like,
guys, I think I figured out a way we're gonna get in
'cause they're not gonna let us walk in.
So I'm gonna bust open the door.
- That's great, I was thinking about going up
into the duct work, so I'll just be right above you
at all times, just know that. - [Ify] Okay.
- But you also have the badge.
- [Ally] I think they're gonna know that I'm not him
'cause he's such a prominent agent.
But I could try if you want to try.
- And he's in there.
- (laughing) And he's in there.
- And he might just
(Ally imitating a whip)
grab it back. - His picture's on the badge,
so they could look at the badge.
- Do you have like a crazy mask?
- Oh yeah, like one of those- - Skin masks.
- Skin masks that they have- - Oh fuck, I don't have
a skin mask. (all laughing)
I hate that.
- I'm driving straight through.
- You're driving straight through.
- Oh, you wanna drive, you wanna drive?
- Oh, I'm gonna drive straight through-
- Drive straight through. - And tell all those punks
that the show's inside.
- [Ally] Oh. - Do you have any
clearance, sweetheart?
- You see Lucy goes, "Sweetie, well yeah, I'm the DA.
I could walk in." - Oh yeah.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- We could be fake handcuffed or something like that.
- Yeah, I arrest people all the time.
- Yeah, so do I. - I still would love
to be up in the duct work, it's like a little-
- Get in the duct work. - I can't explain it,
but it's kind of the only place I've felt at home
since being in this world.
- [Ify] How's this? - I'm also a detective.
- Yeah, so maybe you go in the ducts
and then you all can bring me in
and we'll pretend- - Oh, that's great.
- Yeah, that seems like a great plan.
- Oh, that's great, okay.
And then we're not driving it 'cause, you know.
- Yeah. - We wanna save the car
to get away. - Cool, we'll be the first one
in the crew to do a plan where we pretend
one of us is captured. - Oh yes, okay,
'cause I've always wanted to do that.
Me and Dang always watch these movies and I'm like-
- They're gonna be so jealous that we thought of this.
- Okay. - But, okay, and Shaun,
if Shaun wakes up. (Ally laughing)
- Oh yeah, but like restrain him for real.
- We, yeah, and what-
- And just me and Shaun together and then you can come in.
- Tape him to your back, you could hold-
- Yeah, yeah, cover his mouth too
so he doesn't blow our cover. - Okay.
- Jennifer's kind of doing some stretches
while we talk about this and just like light-
- Okay, that sounds like a good plan.
- Okay. - And then they'll probably
put me in the same place that they have our friends
and then we can bust out together.
- Okay. - Ah, you know,
this person must stretch for hours every day
'cause I've lost so much flexibility
each day that we've been here.
- Wow. - I'm starting to worry
that I won't be able to get in the ducts.
- Do you think she goes to the pool at the Y
'cause that's what I do.
(Ify laughing)
- Maybe, yeah, it's like you're saying that
kind of like a little bit of a brag, like-
- Well, I go to the pool at the Y
every day for half an hour.
- Wow, that's really cool. - Thank you.
- I've got a pull-up bar at my house,
so sometimes if I'm in the kitchen like on the phone
or something, I'll just put it on speakerphone
and I'll do like eight pull-ups.
Like just knock 'em out like that.
Sometimes with the band 'cause they're kinda harder to do
than you think that they are.
- Where do you put the band?
- My feet go in the band.
- Your feet, (laughing) what?
- I'll send you some YouTube videos. (laughing)
- Paula, I know you've been having
like some confidence issues and the high school boys
have noticed that you've gone swimming
and in the ranking of-
- "Why are you calling my husband Paula?"
- (laughing) Oh no.
- Shut up, shut up. (all laughing)
- Don't you tell me to shut up, Jack.
- I kiss her. - "Mwah. God, I hate you."
(hand smacking) Smack.
- Let's go. - Oh yeah, sorry, no.
- Oh, sorry, I met him in his undercover name,
which was Paul and so-
- Yeah. - Paul, uh, I think-
- Yes, yes, that's what- - The high school boys
have noticed that you at the pool-
- (laughing) The high school boys are watching
a detective swim. - Ah, Paul, ah.
All the high school boys noticed-
- When we were broken up, I started going to the pool
to feel better about myself.
- Yeah, and the high school boys-
- Because I was so depressed and-
- And as a joke, the high school boys-
- As a joke. - Jack, the mom
with the best rack.
- ...Stop it. - And we just kind of stare
her deep into the eyes.
- Are you serious? (Rekha laughing)
- You see Shaun Nitro begins to wake up.
"Oh, what happened?"
- No! (fist thudding)
(Brennan grunting) (all laughing)
- You see a crowd has gathered on the steps
of the FBI field office and they've locked the doors inside
and are like on the security, sort of like,
"We got a problem out here."
There were about like 40 people,
it's sort of tripled to about 120.
- Oh. - Scattered,
there's like 80 people on the steps.
You see a guy comes out, he's in like a long black duster
and he goes like, "They've got Black Flag in there
and they're not gonna let 'em play
unless we do something about it."
Opens up the trench coat, C4 all over it.
(Jacob laughing) - Is the Purge happening?
(Rekha laughing) - Yeah, I don't know why-
- Could we still walk in or did we take too long?
(Rekha laughing) - Yeah, I think I should
do the drive in 'cause- - Yeah, I think so too.
- This guy's gonna blow everything up.
- You think? - Can I-
- "What?" - We're gonna do
the drive into the wall plan.
- You think that's better?
- "You're gonna drive into the wall?
I can get us in there." - Okay, maybe we
should walk in. - But this guy's got C4
and it seems like he's gonna blow it up.
- A 1980s guy in the full tennis headband,
like Wimbledon white shorts, the tall white things
you see bounces a tennis ball, (ball bouncing)
serves it into a window
and it blows up. - No!
(explosion thundering) - Okay, you're driving.
- Driving in, I would like to sit underneath the sunroof
and kind of like spring loaded so that when we get in there
and we're underneath a duct, I can just fly out the sunroof
into the ducts.
- Hell yeah, this is gonna be Drive 11.
- Okay, and I do my muscle car wheelie
and I yell out the window, "For Black Flag!"
(Brennan laughing)
11. (all cheering)
- Sick. - [Jacob] Love it.
- Cool, so you (imitating engine revving) get in the car,
(engine revving) peel out and just hit the gas
just enough to just wedge just the front doors
(glass shattering) through the wall
and you park it like- You hit that 11 sweet.
It was like, so there's- (Ify laughing)
- Hell yeah. - You see that there's a guy
in a ground floor office and your car smashes
through the wall two inches from the front bumper
to the back of his chair, and he just goes, "Whoa."
(Ify laughing) Right on the 11, baby.
Just no extra damage past what was needed through the wall.
You are in the building.
- I go, ah! - [Brennan] Go ahead and gimme
Stunts eight. - Okay, great.
(Ify laughing) We're still on
a d4 with stunts, so let's see.
Now that's a one. - Uh-oh, ooh.
- Which can blow up. - Oh, we got The Ones.
- Let's see which little One ability I want to use here.
- Or you could use a different skill, right?
- Yep, I'm gonna go ahead and parlay that
into a different skill and for me, it's gonna be Sneak.
- All right, gimme a four Sneak.
- Okay.
(sneaky music)
- A one.
- It's a one? - Mm-mm, even worse,
it's a two 'cause now ones have
actionability. - Power.
- Two's the new one.
- We've been hearing it all over.
- So he goes, "Whoa," and I go, ah!
(all laughing) And I hit, I hit-
- No. - I hit the duct work
and then I fall onto his desk.
- Go ahead and gimme Tough.
- [Ally] Fuck! - Gimme Tough 10.
(Ally whistling) - Oh no.
- Dang! - That's a 10.
- And it blows up. (explosion thundering)
- [Brennan] Blows up, boom baby.
- So at least I'm looking very tough.
- Okay. (die clattering)
- Oh, she traveled.
That's a four, so that is a 14.
- So you go, "Ah," and pop out of the sunroof,
hit your head hard, full face into the air vent.
(metal clattering) Bam, land on the hood.
And the guy whose chair, like your feet
are touching the back of his chair.
He goes, "Whoa, whoa!"
- Hey. - Whoa!
- Hey, hey, hey, and I snatch his badge off his person.
- I go, "Be cool."
And then I try to do Neck Snapper.
- Blam, blam, blam. (Ify laughing)
- I try to do Neck Snapper!
- Okay, do Brawl versus his Tough.
- I tried to do Neck Snapper!
- You said be cool- - This guy's like,
his coffee kind of spills out.
"Shit, what, my badge!"
Blam, blam, cool.
He got a three Tough check.
(die clattering)
What's that?
- That's a one which is the new
blowing up. - Which is the new nat 20.
- And I do blow that up.
- That blows up on a one,
boom. (explosion thundering)
So that's the max value.
- 12, and I blow that up! I'm at d20 for Brawl.
(explosion thundering) - Oh my God, boom baby!
At a d20 for Brawl.
- Do you have any Turbo Tokens?
- One. - Does that count
as a double blow up?
- That is a double blow up. (all cheering)
- Two! - Two, okay.
- We're in the money.
♪ We're in the money ♪ - I traveled, another 10.
- Another 10, so that was 10, 12 and 10, that's a 32?
- Hell yeah. - Yeah, I just go, (grunting)
it's like, kind of like animal the way my body bends
and I Neck Snapper with my legs.
- (grunting) So he is unconscious, but I think on a 32,
this is like, name an amount of time
you want him to be asleep for.
- [Izzy] Weeks. - Four months.
- Oh. - Oh shit.
- Coma, full coma.
(Jacob laughing) - Gonna have to go
to physical therapy to regain the strength in his neck.
- You put him, no, on a 32, you put him into a coma
where he will actually be stronger
and healthier when he wakes up.
- I love that. - Damn, what was he doing now?
- Yeah. - That a coma
made him healthier. (Ally laughing)
- His gut biome's gonna be- (all laughing)
- He gets sober in a coma. - Detoxes, yeah
and his family loves him. - Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you hear a chiropractic crack and it's like, oh!
You've been realigned. - Got it, he got taller,
but he's asleep. - Yeah.
- "While You Were Sleeping" happens to him.
- (gasping) Oh. - Oh my God,
Sandra Bullock comes and goes, "That's my husband."
- "That's my husband." - "That'sa my husband!"
- Vic, through the wall, Jennifer, hit your face,
bam, in an air vent, but you're at a d20 Brawl
as you neck snap the agent in this room.
Jack, what are you up to?
- I go, "Wow." (Ify laughing)
- Roll for wow.
- Lucy says, "Okay, so your friends are in here,
what do you want to do?
Do you want me to try to lead us towards some agents
and try to do like the face of this?"
- We have another badge too, you can dress up as this agent.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna put his agent suit on.
- And I'm gonna
get in the ducts. - Cover up where it's ripped.
- Yeah, yeah. - Okay, go ahead
and gimme Sneak six.
- [Jacob] Home sweet home. - Okay.
(Ify laughing) - Dude.
- What's that? - A two?
- It's a one? (Ify laughing)
Okay, you've already blown up,
you've already blown up.
- There's a third one.
- Half the- - You've already taken
a different skill. - I take the failure,
which means like mentally, spiritually,
emotionally, reputationally
and I take half the amount in Turbo Tokens,
so I take six Turbo Tokens.
- Ooh. - Hell yeah, so you take six.
- And now ones are back to sort of just being bad.
- Yeah. - You burned all
of your bridges, ones are ones now.
- Ones are ones again. - But at least I got to try.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- So you guys see Russell
(wind whipping) like neck snaps this dude.
Backwards somersault, you're in the air vent
and you begin to- - [Ally] I'll be in the ducts.
- You just like sexy like crawling and you hear like
(metal clanging) bang, boom, bang, boom.
Like heavy breathing, claustrophobic,
maybe even a little scared whine
as like you're getting into
a real tight air duct. - I hate it, I hate this.
- Owie. - I hate this.
- Lucy says, "Okay, who's coming with me through the front?"
- I'll go, I'll go.
- "Okay, Jack, you and me, okay and-"
- And I'm dressed up as this guy, so I'll be this guy.
- Is the guy smaller than Vic?
- Yeah, yeah, how does it-
- Does it look so stripper?
- Shaun is unconscious in the car.
What do you wanna do with Shaun?
- Throw him out the car.
- (laughing) Throw him out! - But we need to keep him,
no, we need to keep him.
- So you just throw him on top of the guy in a coma?
- Yeah, yeah, they'll think-
- Handcuff him. - They'll think he did it.
- Handcuff him to the table. - Yeah, you see Johnny goes
and puts Shaun's unconscious hands on either side
of the FBI agent's head. (Ify laughing)
- Yeah, and I'm gonna write a note that says,
"Also I did all the crimes."
- Yeah. - Tonight, tonight.
- The note starts with "also."
(all laughing)
- The middle, "Is there another note?"
- You always start in the middle, that's good writing,
that's some good writing. - Give me Hot eight,
Hot eight. (Ify laughing)
- Hot. - Also. (laughing)
- "And lastly." - "But I..." (laughing)
- But on a failure, I get two Turbo Tokens.
- Because you are Relentless.
- Can I spend them immediately?
- Oh! - No, you have to take
the failure in order to take them.
- I'm being silly.
(Izzy laughing)
Every time I pass something, I have Inspiring,
I could have been giving out these Turbo Tokens.
- Oh. - You are being-
- [Ally] For all those successes that I got.
- Excuse me? (Rekha laughing)
Beardsley? - It had to be at least one,
right? - You only had the one,
so give your one. (laughing)
- Who wants it, how many do you have?
- Wendell? - I have none.
- None. - One to you.
One to Wendell.
- [Brennan] So something about that neck snapping is-
- Don't be so silly.
- I'm being silly. - Can you just tell me
how Wendell feels inspired by that neck snap?
- Wow, I was just gonna grab the badge
and you just put this person in a coma.
- I maybe killed them.
- Yeah, that makes it so much easier, gah!
- Nice. - Amazing, so Lucy, Jack.
- Okay, so, but my note is good?
- Well, it starts with "also" and then you sign it
Jack Manhattan. - No!
- No, I signed it Jeff Manhattan.
- (laughing) You signed it Jeff?
You sign it Jeff Laguna.
(Brennan and Izzy wheezing)
- That's her vacation personality.
- [Brennan] Jeff Laguna.
- Jeff Laguna.
- Hey, this drink got sent from that person down there
and his name's Jeff Laguna.
(Brennan laughing) - Oh, it's roofied.
(all laughing)
- This bright blue tropical goldfish bowl,
get it out of, yeah.
- Those are my favorite drinks, no cap.
- No cap. (Ally laughing)
So Lucy, Jack, (inquisitive music)
Wendell disguised as this FBI agent,
unconscious Shaun Nitro's back with the regular FBI agent
in the room. - Oh, and the FBI agent
is naked. - Is naked.
- Yeah. - And you see Johnny looks
and says, "I'm only in like my ninja parkour
skulker like crime runner get up.
I probably shouldn't go down the front."
- It's take your family to work night, that's-
- "Okay, I'll come, I'll come."
And so he falls in behind you.
So you all head out.
Jennifer, you head out elsewhere.
- (quietly) I hate this.
- (laughing) I'm scared.
- I'm just scared. - Lucy walks up and you get
to the front office where there's like 10 different agents.
You see that there is a throng of rockers and punks
and freaks and weirdos and people.
Some of them are like banging with brass knuckles
against the glass that's cracking.
You see that they've taken an enormous,
what looks like a telephone pole.
The wires are down outside.
Backup generators go on and they bring it to the front
like a battering ram. - (laughing) Yeah!
- You see that someone is just waving the French flag,
(Jacob laughing) Just, "Ah, kill them!"
(door thudding) And you see boom, doors shake.
And Lucy says, "Don't pay attention to that.
I need to talk to your boss."
And she's gonna roll Hot in the Box of Doom.
- I believe in her.
(die clattering) - Gets a six.
She says, "I need to talk to your boss right away."
And you see that one of the sort of agents comes over
and says, "Miss Santangelo, look, I'm sorry."
And she goes, "Don't you fucking call me that.
I'm Mrs. Manhattan." (Jacob and Rekha gasping)
- I own her again.
(all laughing) - She punches you.
- I'm incapacitated. (all laughing)
- You get 20 Turbo Tokens.
- Gimme a Tough check.
- No, I can't take, I can't,
(Brennan laughing) unless I get 10 Turbo Tokens.
- Difficulty six. - This isn't right.
(all laughing)
- No. - What'd you get?
- Is it a two? - It's a one so I'm-
- Okay. - You're gonna blow up.
- Yeah, okay, so you blow up. (explosion thundering)
- Boom. - Boom, all right,
you're rolling a d10 for Tough.
- On his wife assaulting him?
- Yeah. - Got it. (laughing)
(die clattering)
(Izzy stuttering)
- Nine.
- Nine, you succeed, so she throws a fist and you catch it.
She goes, "Don't you sass me."
- I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
(Brennan laughing) - Paula's sincere.
- So you see the FBI agents turn to you and say,
"Look, the DA's brought her husband in here.
He's almost dead and you guys should go to the hospital.
What is she doing here?"
- Take us to who we have to go to.
- Yeah, what's the situation here right now?
- Situation is there's a revolution happening
30 feet that way.
- Hold on, and I stop him and I go,
Let's hear what they have to say,
and I open the door. (Brennan laughing)
- Give me a difficulty four Tech check.
- All right. - Also does that count
as an encounter between Jack and her?
- I hit that four on the money.
- Hit the four, okay, sick.
You undo the lock and a mob comes in stabbing, shooting,
murdering, burning the FBI office down.
- All right, let's go get our friends.
(Ify laughing)
- I'm gonna need either a Stunts check to flee
or a Toughness check if you fail that.
So the Stunts is a difficulty six
to flee the mob rushing into the FBI office.
- All of us have to do it? - Yeah, I'm gonna flee.
- Yeah. (dice clattering)
- That's a one. - Four.
- Gonna blow that right up.
(all cheering) (explosion thundering)
- Yeah, yeah. - Four, I'm gonna
blow that up.
(explosion thundering) - [Brennan] Okay, boom.
- And that's plus a nine, so-
- Nice. - 19.
- Cool. - A one.
- A one, okay. - But I meet it.
- You meet it. What have your Stunts graduated to?
What's your Stunts die right now?
- To a d12.
- D12, and what's your Stunts right-
- D8. - D8, okay, so both of you-
- (stuttering) Alex asked a really good question.
- Yeah. - Does it count
as an encounter for quick healing after Lucy punched Jack?
- I think fleeing the mob is the end of an encounter.
- So I'm at severe?
- You're at severe, that's correct.
So you begin to run away as fast as you can.
As the mob comes in, you see that
this person just rushes in.
You got like this tricked out like mountain bike,
kind of like BMX sports bike, (imitating wheels spinning)
(wheels spinning) comes in and jumps up,
swivels the back wheel with legs out
(blood splashing) and decapitates an FBI agent
and says, "Where's Minor Threat?"
And they just take the building.
- Hey, and I just offhandedly say, "Look, it's no drinking,
no smoking, no sex, and I think no murder is a silent X
on the Minor Threat straight edge now."
- Give me a Stunts check,
difficulty of five. (Ify laughing)
(die clattering)
- 11. - 11, two guys turn and go,
"Ah," and throw a jackhammer (jackhammer whirring)
at you as it is actively- (imitating jackhammer)
- Oh. - And you dodge it,
you jump outta the way and they go,
"He knows where Minor Threat is!
He's a fucking FBI agent!"
- Ah, I just went undercover so I can try
and find Minor Threat. - We gotta go.
- Follow me- - What?
- And we'll find them together.
- No! - A group of wild boars
is ushered in and begins to, (all laughing)
and begins to pursue you.
(Jacob imitating boars oinking)
(all laughing)
Yeah, there's loose boars that have the Anarchy symbol
spray-painted on their side and they begin to chase you
down the hallways. - Jack, run!
Get outta here! - Get on 'em.
I'm gonna mount one with Lucy.
(Alex laughing) - Okay, give me Hot seven
to instantly tame the boars. - The same one?
(Ally and Alex laughing)
(die clattering)
- Hot what? - Hot seven.
- Six. - All right, take a token.
- Two. - Take two,
you are Relentless.
Okay, so you are all sprinting down the halls
from these wild boars.
We are going to cut back to Greg.
- Can we say that she was like,
I'm asking her how to amplify my transmitter signal?
- Hell yeah. - Yeah.
- She walks through and says,
(gentle music) "You know, well, I mean,
you know, whatever technology's doing in 2024.
My god, we gotta have flying cars, right?"
- No, man. - Ah.
- Well, there's like one and it's like a YouTube video
but it's never gonna come out.
- A YouTube video?
- Oh dang, it's "America's Home Videos" but all the time.
(Rekha laughing)
- "That fucking blows."
(all laughing)
You see, yeah, she gets down and says,
"Smooth moves out there, you better hit the road soon.
I think you got more than a tempest out of that teapot.
You're probably gonna get that place fucking demolished
by the end of the night."
- I gotta help my friends. Hey, I just wanted to say thanks.
- She smiles. - And before I go,
what's your MacGuffin?
Just in case you ever want to get outta here.
- Pack of Pilsons, my favorite.
- Ciggys? - Mm-hmm.
- Cool. - Hey, you're a good kid.
Do yourself a favor and next time you get a chance,
just get in touch with yourself, you know?
I've found in this line of work,
easiest people to lie to are ourselves.
They'll smell a rat every time.
- I'm no rat. One bullet at a time.
And I'm gonna climb to the top of the radio tower
and squirrel suit towards my friends.
(Brennan laughing) - That's right.
- Give me Stunts three.
- Mm-hmm.
(die clattering) Eight.
- Eight. You ascend to the top effortlessly.
Go ahead and gimme a Tech check as well, gimme Tech four.
(die clattering) - Seven.
- (whistling) He's back, baby. - You go to the top
of the radio tower and looking out at Los Angeles,
the rain abates, and you just hear from down below,
even like in your own little talkie, you hear,
"Folks, keep an eye out for your friend and mine,
the casino man rolling in his little penguin suit.
He'll be coming by and something tells me
he's said his prayers.
Good flying, Rocky.
Tune into this next one as I teach all of you
how to hack into a government database
and delete your medical debt."
(Ally laughing) And you see (laughing),
you squirrel suit through the sky
(imitating wind) away from the pirate radio station.
- Can we say that there's just one sweltering saxophone note
(Brennan laughing) as I'm on top of the tower
just- (imitating saxophone)
So long, sustained so, so long.
(Jacob imitating saxophone) (saxophone blaring)
Is it over, not quite.
(Jacob imitating saxophone) (saxophone blaring)
(Ify laughing)
- You look as the note is going,
assuming it's being played from the radio station
and see on the top of one of the downtown skyscrapers,
just hitting a fucking (Jacob laughing)
mighty fucking sax. - What's his name?
- Oh, Saximilian Jones.
(Rekha laughing) - Saximilian.
- Okay, we gotta call him. - And I guess as I dive,
I'll just hit that radio, "Incoming."
- All you hear it and you
(Brennan imitating glass shattering) are through the glass
in the middle of a sort of FBI break room.
All of them have their guns trained at an air vent
with an enormous bulge in the middle and some-
- (whining) It's so dark, I didn't even bring a head lamp.
(all laughing) But at least no one knows
that I'm in here.
- All of them are about to open fire in this room
as you squirrel suit through the window.
- Can I fart and make 'em fall asleep?
(all laughing)
- [Jacob] Hold on, I don't know-
- [Izzy] Hold on- - What did you ask?
- No, it was bad! - "Can I fart and make
them fall asleep?" - I wanna go back.
- Say it, say it! - It was bad, I don't want it!
I asked if I could fart and they would fall asleep.
- (screams) You should do it! - Jacob, you have to do it!
- First thought, best thought.
- Okay. - I, like most people
on vacation, have not been able to go to the bathroom
in this body yet. - (laughing) Okay.
- And I've got a stinky, stinky fart
ready to roll.
- Hell yeah. - And I know-
- Yeah. - I know who's in those ducts.
It's my freak ass uncle, of course.
(Ally humming) (all laughing)
Yeah, so I would like to fart. (laughing)
Just to be very clear- - Yeah.
- I would like to fart to see if they fall asleep.
- Okay, go ahead, this is gonna be Tough 30.
- Click a little something on a, add a little Tech to it or?
- Yeah, like some juice to it, something extra juicy to it?
- It's a little extra juice. - If he makes it,
you have to make the smoke come out of the vents again
and that's the fart. - And make it stinky.
- Okay. - Okay, it's a Tough
and a difficulty to fart so powerfully
that everyone falls asleep is 30.
- Why? - Okay.
- But do you maybe also have like a gas
in your suit or watch that you could also add to it?
- What are you rolling for Tough?
- It can be
a huge distraction too. - I have a d10.
- Even if they don't go to sleep.
- Let's have some fun.
- Let's have some fun, let's roll.
- Let's have some fun. - Let's see what happens.
(die clattering)
- That's, is a zero a 10?
- Zero is 10.
- Oh my God! - Unfucking believable.
- Blow up! - Okay, that's a 10.
- We're almost to a fart.
- Here's the thing, I don't believe in God.
- Yeah. - Father God.
- Let me roll a 12.
(die clattering)
- Cocked. - (chuckling) Thank you.
(die clattering)
A 10 and I'm gonna blow it up.
(Brennan laughing) (explosion thundering)
(Izzy screaming) - Oh my gosh!
- That's a double blow up. - Double blow up.
- So I get another one of these guys.
- Okay, you have two, that's 22.
- Now I'm at a d20. - You graduated
to a d20 Tough. - (gasping) You made it to 22.
- Yeah. - And you just need an eight.
This is Box of Doom. - Is this Stunts or Tough,
I'm sorry? - This is Tough.
- Okay. - And Jeff is in the room.
- Can you pass the Box of Doom because now Jacob needs,
and you have how many tokens right now?
- I have three. - You have three?
- Yeah. - So you need to roll an eight
to get to 30. - Okay.
- But if you hit a five, you could still spend
Turbo Tokens to get there.
- Okay. - So you need,
at minimum, you're looking for an eight or higher,
but you need a minimum of five.
- Come on, come on. - You got it.
- Oh, this is unbelievable that this has happened.
(Jacob laughing) - Wait, Jennifer is also
in the room, so maybe like a-
- Well, and if you do a 20, then you poop a little.
- [Rekha] Stop!
- I don't want that to be true.
(Ify laughing)
I think it's a great pitch.
I just don't really want it to be true.
I'm gonna roll.
(die clattering)
13. (Izzy screeching)
- What did he need to roll, what has happened?
- I needed to roll an eight. - What's happening?
- It's a 35. - Oh my God, he farted
and everybody goes to sleep,
he farted and everybody goes to sleep!
He did it! (laughing hysterically)
(explosion thundering)
- I'm gonna need that box, you can give Jacob his die.
- That means I'm at a d20 in Tough too.
- And you almost tripled- - You have a d20 in Tough.
Is this your first d20?
- Yes. (Izzy cheering)
- So you dig down, you turn, there is a mirror in the room.
And for the first time, Greg Stocks looks back at you.
Greg Stocks, the ultimate man of refinement.
- (laughing) Stop it. - The gentleman spy,
secret agent, the most suave.
A guy who has fucked his way
(Rekha laughing) through every clandestine
act of espionage in the world.
And he makes eye contact with you
as you are about to rip ass.
- 33 ass.
- You hit a difficulty of 30, which I said as a joke
because I need ideas like this to only happen
if miracles will them into existence, right?
(Ally laughing) What does Greg Stocks say
from the mirror
to Andy "Dang" Litefoot? - It was 35.
- 35. - By more than five.
- Beat it by more than five!
Greg Stocks turns to look.
- (British accent) Even the best of us shit, mate.
(Izzy and Brennan losing it)
- And Dang hears that- - What an ally.
- From Greg, "Even the best of us shit."
All of the abuse heaped on Dang from shithead bosses
who tried to make him feel small,
in this moment when Greg says, "All of us shit, mate,"
St. Lawrence, Santo Patron, gentleman spy,
and a guy who guards the porn section
at Dave's Video World are united.
And in this moment, your dreams, his dreams,
they are one and the same.
It's one bullet at a time.
When you get out of here, you can make the life
that you want for yourself.
The noise of your fart, (Rekha laughing)
(deep fart squelching) like the trumpet of heavens.
As you hear the doors of the revolution smashed open,
(crowd screaming) freaks, punks,
all of the people that you in the world outside of this one
are your brethren have answered your call.
The windows shatter. (glass shattering)
All three of these FBI agents
(fart squelching) are blasted back
and knocked unconscious.
When these FBI agents wake up, they will turncoat
and join the revolution to feed intel to it from the inside,
they are changed. - [Ally] Incredible.
- They are changed. (Jacob laughing)
Their beliefs are different.
- Incredible.
- And Jennifer, Russell, you have no context.
So you just hear glass shatter
and the loudest fart of your life
and three bodies hit the floor (Rekha laughing)
(Jacob laughing) and you think
there are wild boars in the building.
(Rekha and Jacob laughing)
- I think Russell is really scared.
He's really scared to be in the ducts.
He's really scared to know that people have been here
the whole time and he's a little bit scared
that that fart was him.
He's pretty sure it wasn't, but what if, it's just like,
(Rekha laughing) and so he leans forward
and he looks through the grate in the room.
- You make eye contact with Dang.
- "Dang," and I pop it open. (metal clanking)
"Hey, I was up here, I was hiding."
- Hey, hell yeah, man.
I feel good, I feel real good.
- Really? - That's the best I've felt
all time, this whole time.
- Nice. (Izzy sputter laughing)
- Hey, real quick. - Uh-huh.
- I just want you to know,
I know you don't know Anthony Kiedis.
(gentle music) - (gasping) Aw.
- It's okay.
(Rekha laughing)
- Well, define know, define know.
(Brennan laughing) I've been at parties
where they also have hung out with him like in the past,
like, but like yeah, when I told you, yeah.
- It's okay. - I mean, yeah.
When I told you you should come live with me
and we would hang out with him all the time
'cause I was like practically lived in his pool,
I was lying.
- We leave this scene to cut back to the room
filled with smoke.
Usha and Liv, you're here in the smoke.
It's still flooding into the room as Haldwell's outside,
but you hear noises of like some tough times
outside as well.
- Are we still 69ing?
- You're still 69ing. - [Alex] Okay.
- But you've got a moment with the smoke coming in
to figure out, you either have to write the information down
that Haldwell is looking for
or find something to do in the room if you can.
- Did Haldwell take my glasses?
- Roll a Wits check for me, gimme Wits six.
(die clattering)
- 12 on a d12. - Wow,
the most dramatic blow up! - Wait, I blow up!
- You blow up. - It just spun.
- Okay. - Hell yeah, wow,
your twenties are insane.
- I think like Usha, there's like 2% of Usha
left in this person.
- Yeah. - With all these
blown up dice. - Yeah.
- That'll be the fourth 20.
- Yeah, it's my fourth d20. - Blaze it.
- Wow. - Blaze it.
- Four d20! - We're at my fourth d20.
Yes, so that means I have my glasses or no?
- Yes, you have your glasses.
- You can roll again
and see if you blow that up. - [Izzy] Roll the 20.
- Oh. - D20.
(die clattering)
- Just don't even talk about it.
- We don't, I don't-
- We don't know her, we don't like her.
- I don't like her.
(die clattering) 17.
- Okay, incredible, so that is 29.
You have your glasses with you.
- Okay, I use my glasses like a stud finder in the walls
to look for like a soft spot.
- Okay, so are you looking through my legs or?
- Yeah, for sure.
I part Kingskin's legs. - Oh.
- Hold on a second. - Okay.
- And I use my glasses to try to like stud find
any soft parts of the wall.
- Go ahead and gimme Tech six.
- Let me know if you need me to spin around.
- Absolutely, okay, that's a seven.
- Hell yeah, so you see a spot in between the studs,
there's a spot where it's a little bit smaller
and you point it out to Liv.
Liv, you see that there's a section of the wall
that's not the one way mirror side and it's not on the door.
It's a totally like flat blank wall
that adjoins some other office.
- All right, using one arm to secure our position
so we don't breathe in the smoke, I scuttle over
and just punch where G13 tells me to.
- Hell yeah, this is gonna be Brawl 10.
- Okay.
(die clattering)
Nine and I have one Turbo Token.
- Yeah. - Hell yeah.
- Let's go. - So you see Kingskin walks up
and boom through the wall, fucking Kool-Aid man.
(wall collapsing) You guys get out
and can breathe again.
You are in a locked evidence room.
Shelves go clattering as you move through, get clean air.
But you can see that there's a lock on the door.
So the agents see you, they're trying to unlock the door
of the interrogation chamber, but they also know
the direction that you've moved in.
So you've still got agents on top of you,
but you've gotten outta the room with the smoke.
We're gonna cut back to Jack and Wendell
as you guys are surging forward away from the wild boars
with Johnny and Lucy.
As you begin to charge through this place,
I think you come across and find Russell and Dang
off in this side area here.
So you square up, but you can hear-
- Oh my God. (coughing) - You can-
- It stank in here. - My bad.
- You hear the revolution happening outside,
people screaming for Black Flag, Minor Threat,
racing through the hallways.
What do you do as you circle back up again?
- Any leads?
- Can we reach them on our walkies?
Do either of them have the walkie?
- No, their tech stuff got taken.
- I'll be honest, I don't think going through the ducts
was the best idea. (Ify losing it)
So I think maybe we should walk through the halls together.
- Okay, um- - I don't wanna talk about
that failure but-
- No, no I was not gonna
bring it up. - Okay, thank you so much.
- It's all good.
- Okay, well the Purge is happening.
- Give you a hug. - Thank you.
- Can't we just like go with the flow
and then let the worms eat all the dirt
and find the goodies? (laughing)
- Yes or no?
- Um.
(Izzy stuttering)
Yeah.
- Yeah, I get on a boar.
- Gimme Hot seven.
- Great. - Honestly, Hot eight
'cause the boars know something's up.
- I'm gonna try a boar too.
- They don't wanna be liable.
- What's that? - It's a four
and then I'm gonna blow it up.
- Nice! - Okay, how many
are you spending to blow it up?
- Four. (Brennan laughing)
- You're going all the way to eight.
(explosion thundering) So you go to a d10 Hot.
- Am I being stupid? - No.
- Gotta ride that boar.
- Can we Alpha Squad and two players roll
on the same skill check and get to ride
the boars together? - Yes, we've done that
already once, but you can do it with someone else
so you don't have to spend those four.
- I was getting ready to try and ride the boar anyway.
- Great, okay. - I'm looking at 'em.
- All you need is a four. - You got a four
so you just need to hit another four on a Hot check.
- I'm watching this boar coming into me
and this boar is slowly switching, every blink it turns
from a boar to an unmanned motocross bike.
And then I remember all the times I fell with my brothers
and couldn't get on that motocross bike
(Ally imitating pig) and this boar,
it doesn't even sound like squeals, it sounds like
(Ally imitating motorbike) motorbike engine revs.
And that's a 10, that blows up!
(explosion thundering) - Boom!
- It rocks! (all laughing)
- Oh man, and then I am gonna roll.
And that's a four. - Nice.
(exciting rock music) - Hell yeah, 18 all told.
You jump on the boar, fucking war pigs, baby.
Streaking forward, you are all riding.
You see Lucy's on one.
- I'm putting Lucy on my back.
(Ify laughing) - Good, Lucy's got her arms
around you. - I'm your boar.
I'm your boar.
- Try to catch up!
Jennifer drifts on a boar just riding through the FBI.
- Incredible. - Oh.
- Calm down. - Ally!
- Hey, look, everyone, I was having fun.
(Ify laughing) - You're being silly.
You're being silly. - I was being a little silly.
- You streak through this place
going as fast as you can on these pigs.
Turn the corner, see a group of FBI agents
and there's Haldwell in his trash can.
He wheels around and goes,
(dramatic music) "You. Get 'em!"
And I'm gonna need all of you to roll either Stunts to avoid
or Toughness to just bear down on Haldwell.
The weapons open up, it is a difficulty six
Stunts or Tough to avoid.
- I'm going Toughness straight through Haldwell
and I'm looking at him like, "You're pisstory."
(Brennan laughing) - They have weapons?
- Weapons, yeah. - They have guns?
- They have guns, yeah. - Could I use a gun?
Could I try and shoot them?
- Yes, but gimme a Tough or Stunts first as they open fire.
- What was it again? - Six.
- Oh seven.
- Seven, great. - Seven on Tough.
I'm trying to slosh the trash can a little bit.
- Cool, so you're bearing down.
You're bearing down as well.
- Yep, seven. - Seven.
- I rolled a one so I'm gonna use a different skill I guess.
- Hell yeah. - I got a four
but I'm gonna spend four Turbo Tokens
since I'm still severe.
- Hell yeah. - So that I can meet it.
- Okay, copy that, cool, cool, cool.
All of you bearing down (imitating engine rev) as you go.
Are you using Tough or Stunts right now?
- Tough. - You're using Tough?
You wouldn't fail by five or more
so you wouldn't take an injury level.
I think it's actually in your favor to keep those four
and then take another two for Relentless.
- Thanks, babe. - Ooh.
- You got it, babe. (Ify laughing)
So no one rolled Stunts so it is the charge
of the fucking light brigade.
It is just- - It is a piss-filled
trash can, what do you think?
We're definitely gonna
target it. (laughing) - I got a one so I think
I have to take damage.
- You got a one? - Yeah.
- Oh okay, yeah, you take another one to severe,
so you take an injury level to severe.
- Level two. - So the bullets go to you.
There's an enormous rocky promontory
in this like great hall, like marble floors.
It's like sculptural, it's like big hall
with a sort of like rock sculpture.
You see the sea of charging revolutionaries over the top.
Saximilian, headband blowing in the wind
astride the fucking rock. - He's here now?
- Yeah, as you all take the hits,
the crowd rips the American flags off a bunch of flag poles,
ties tattered Anarchy flags to them, tosses them up.
Saximilian just tosses these spears
with Anarchy flags on them to all of you
as you surge forward.
So you are riding pigs with these flag spears, slow motion.
"Ah!"
- I am a pig.
(Brennan imitating gun) Because I am a cop.
- Boom, there you go.
We're gonna cut back inside the evidence locker.
You guys hear chaos outside.
What do you do in the evidence locker?
- I quickly turn G13 right side up
and undo the straitjacket.
(Rekha grunting) - Give me Brawl or Stunts
difficulty four. - I'll roll Brawl. Five.
- Okay, you (grunting) rip the straitjacket off.
- Thanks, my man, okay. (laughing)
Full different person, G13 immediately starts poking around
trying to look for anything that could read
as relevant to him in this evidence locker.
- Go ahead and give me Wits eight.
(intense music)
(die clattering)
- Three, so that's not that.
- That is not that, go ahead and take a Turbo Token.
- Okay. - So you don't find
anything in here that seems like relevant
or anything else like that.
Go ahead, as you do that, give me a Wits check here.
(die clattering)
- One. - One, okay, copy that.
- Have I used any of the The Ones yet?
- I don't think you have. - I don't think so.
- I guess I'll blow it up.
- Hell yeah. - Woo!
Boom. (explosion thundering)
(die clattering)
- Four, so that's a 10 total.
- 10 total, you don't think there's any MacGuffins in here,
there's nothing that's like of significance
to the case necessarily.
But what you do find is G13's stuff.
So all of Usha's original, like the clothes,
the Moonrider fucking keys, all that shit,
that's all in a bag that you find right away.
And you seem to hear that the agents are now dealing with
a new problem and not charging in after you, yes?
- So not the dynamite, that wasn't taken by the cops?
- The dynamite's not there
but you still have that matchbook.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yes.
- Can I put all my clothes on?
- Yeah. - Oh yeah, this looks like
the stuff you would wear, right?
- Okay, what does that mean?
- It means what I meant.
- Okay. (Alex laughing)
Puts it all on. - What a fucking twerp.
- Twerp, takes one to know one. (laughing)
- Hell yeah, as you guys charge through,
outside in the big hallway,
the agents sort of like defending this hall.
What are the four of you doing out charging on these pigs?
- Can I put two of the flags into two guns and shoot them?
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Greg had a shotgun, so I'm gonna say like switcheroo,
like toss the shotgun, flag poles in the barrels.
Go ahead and give me Weapons.
- Weapons what?
- He's gonna roll Tough.
I'm gonna roll Box of Doom for him.
(intense music) He's gonna roll d20 Tough.
(die clattering)
- And I get a minus three.
- He rolled a 10, you're trying to beat a seven.
If you beat it by five or more, he's instantly dead.
(die clattering)
- Three. - Oof.
- Okay, you take a shot
(gun recoiling) and boom, the flags streak
past him as he does a leap twisting in mid air.
Trash can upside down, piss everywhere.
Lands in the trash can again.
Who else in this charge is acting in this moment?
- But go ahead and take two Turbo Tokens.
- I'd love to charge forward on my boar
and then do like a really sick like jump up flip
running on the walls kind of thing.
- Yeah. - Like I feel like we watch,
like people are rushing towards the evidence room, right?
- Hell yeah. - They're like trying
to get there, so I'd love to like burst in front of them
and try to knock down that door.
- Hell yes, go ahead and give me Stunts six.
- Great.
- D4. - Blow it up.
- Year of the pig. (die clattering)
- Don't think about it, it's okay.
- Did I already use all The Ones?
- Yes you did. - Do you guys wanna suit up?
- Yeah, yeah. (Ify laughing)
- I would like to at some point.
- We should have honestly. - All right, go ahead
and take your Turbo Token.
- All right.
- I guess.
(all laughing) - You hit the door.
- Have three of us used a different skill?
- I can use a different skill.
- Oh yeah, Weapons, Stunts.
- Oh yeah. - Can I say do a Hot check
and be like, "This building's yours now"?
- Yeah, do a Hot check.
Yeah, absolutely, go for it.
You're looking for
Hot 10 here. (exciting rock music)
That drops to a seven.
- Okay. - And you're exploding
on, what are you rolling?
You're rolling a d20? - No, I'm rolling a d10.
- So now a nine or a 10 explodes.
- Great. (die clattering)
- Seven, eight, nine.
- Nice! - Explodes.
Boom, you go to d12, go ahead and roll that d12.
- 12! - Oh my God!
(explosion thundering) Boom!
You're at a d20 for Hot, go ahead and roll the d20.
(die clattering)
- Five. - Woo!
- Okay, eight and 12 is 20.
What does Dang say to the crowd as they charge?
- I know y'all always need a venue.
You always need a place to sleep, need a place to party.
Do a couple bumps and get rowdy.
You found it, this is your building now
as long as you leave no survivors.
(Brennan laughing) Except for my homies.
- You see they go, "No survivors but the homies.
No survivors but the homies!" (all laughing)
(Brennan screaming) (concrete thudding)
There's spray paint happening. You see in the middle
of a wave of people pushing, "Ah,"
(fire crackling) just everything's on fire,
fire setting, but as they're setting it on fire,
roofs are setting on fire and then they come in
with sofas and blankets and coolers
and start to put the fires out.
They just let it burn a little bit for effect.
(Ally laughing) Okay, for effect.
- And then they chill.
- And then they chill and they say-
- Then they fucking chill. - They say, "Kill everybody
and then welcome them 'cause this place is our home."
- Wow. - From now on,
this is not an FBI field office.
- Wow. - "This is the fucking
kickback zone and revolution headquarters and a music venue
and it's a place for us finally."
In the back, (Brennan imitating pigs), ah!
With that, anyone else?
Wendell, you're also in this scene so you can jump in
if you use a different skill than those three.
- Oh yeah, I was just going to, you know,
do something a little more grounded
(all laughing) and jump my hog
and tail whip Haldwell in the face.
- Go ahead, go ahead. - I think that's
a Drive check. (Ify laughing)
- You're like using it as a skateboard, you mean?
- That's Drive, okay. - Like I'm doing it like.
- Yeah, that's- - Riding him
like a motocross bike. - It's a different type of hog
but it's a hog. - Go ahead, so you're trying
to basically attack him with the hog.
- Yeah. - He's gonna roll Tough.
That is a seven Tough check from him.
Go ahead and roll a Drive check with your hog.
(Ally laughing) - Let's go, Hoggie.
Let's do it.
(laughing) That's a seven.
- He takes an injury level, (grunting).
As you start, you grab one of the hog's ears
and start gear shifting the hog.
You can get it to go different speeds.
(Brennan imitating engine) - Oink, oink oink.
(Ally imitating pig) (Rekha laughing)
- You see Carter slams into the wall. It's his turn.
I'm gonna need a Stunts check from Russell
as he attempts to grab you.
- Okay. - Difficulty is 12.
- (laughing) This? - D4.
- I believe in you. - I got you.
- Thank you. - Go all the way.
(die clattering)
- Cocked, you gotta honor. - In a big way.
- (quietly) Gotta honor the cock.
- Four. (explosion thundering)
- Boom, now you're rolling a six.
This needs to blow up as well.
- And this is a what check, Stunts?
- Stunts, now you're at d6.
- Four.
- Now, am I in the zone where a five or a six blows up?
- Five blows up, yeah. - Yeah, okay, cool.
- Hell yeah. - I'll blow it up.
- Cool. - So that's a six, a four.
That's at 10, I just need a two
on this eight. (explosion thundering)
- [Brennan] Two on the eight, here we go.
- [Jacob] You got it. (die clattering)
- Eight! - Oh my God!
Triple blow up! - Oh my God,
triple blow up! - Have you doubled
your tokens by the way or do you have any left?
- Triple, double, double. - Oh baby, two, four, five,
six, seven, eight,
nine tokens to double.
- But what if we get the quad?
- What if we get the quad? - What if you get the quad?
- Double that. - But what if you get a quad?
(die clattering)
- That's a three. - (laughing) Okay.
- You could blow...
- Yeah. - That's crazy.
No that's, well- - But then you wouldn't-
- But then you would quadruple.
- You had nine when you doubled, so that's 18.
- Yeah, so I just hit a three
and I just need to make it a nine.
So I just have to spend six.
- So you have 18, you spent 6 down to 12.
- Which then...
- Doubles to 24.
- I'm just gonna write 24
and then count them out in a second.
- [Brennan] So that's four and six.
- Okay. - Eight and 10.
You're rolling a d12 and you have 24 tokens
sitting in the bank on your Stunts.
We're beginning to discover
the edges of this game system.
- Yeah. - We need to make sure
we all get to a d20 by the end.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
- Wait, why? - [Brennan] D12.
- So we can buy- - The last suite.
- That's a one.
- [Brennan] That's a one, you've used all of The Ones.
- Yeah. - You have 24 tokens.
- So I'm gonna go ahead and use 10.
- And blow up. - To make that an 11,
which blows up. - What?
(Brennan laughing) - That's called beautiful.
- Okay, you have 14.
You have 14 in there- - Uh-huh.
- Now you're rolling a d20.
You've gotten a four, a six.
So you've gone from a d4 to d20 in a single action.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- With so much help and so much craziness, but let's see.
- It's like getting a door on the hinge with Scotch tape.
(Rekha laughing)
(die clattering)
- That's a four, okay.
- But how many do you have?
- I have 14, so that would
only get me to an 18. - You have 14, okay,
you can't get any farther. - Yeah.
- Something happens in this moment.
Russell has been only beefing it and I think in this moment,
you look down as Carter goes to grab you
and you see he is trying to throw you into the trash can-
- [Jacob] Eugh. - That begins
and is going to try to slam through the floor
to go through the floor into the basement
using the force of your body
hitting the bottom of the trash can.
You look down,
(dramatic music) floor reflective,
a layer of piss on a marble floor.
- That's beautiful. - And you see Jennifer Drips.
You don't want to drip, not in this moment.
- No, not this kind of drip.
- You can literally make poetry out of anything.
I'm saying that to you watching.
(Ally and Ify laughing) - Your poetry teacher.
- You know she's watching.
- And it has to rhyme. (Rekha and Ify laughing)
Jennifer Drips, you see your reflection for the first time.
- I've been thinking about this a lot, this whole season.
- Yeah. - Because I do think
they're both lone wolves. I don't think he's had
the same relationship with the body that he's inhabiting
the way that other people have where like
there's a lesson to learn.
I think if I'm allowed to flavor this however I want-
- Yeah. - Agent grabs her
by the hips, or like just touches her
in this like annoying ass way
that people are always touching women
and I think Russell's having a pussy rage awakening
in this body of how annoying it is
that everyone is trying to like peep at you
or like touch you in weird places
or like so many parts of your body
are, like, explicit and sexualized.
And so he looks at Jennifer and he's like,
(laughing) "You're so hot." (Brennan laughing)
And she's like, "Haven't you fucking learned anything?"
(Rekha laughing)
"Haven't you fucking learned anything in this body?
Like how does it feel?"
And he's like, "Damn, that's crazy."
(all laughing) And then Haldwell grabs him,
grabs him by the waist and goes,
"You're going with me, little missy" and he turns around
and he kills him. - I love it.
(all laughing)
- He pushes him down Oscar the Grouch style
and he drowns in his own urine.
(Alex gasps)
- Bubbles rising in the dark of the trash bag.
Agent Carter Haldwell, the person you saw in the movie,
in the screen, in episode one, Russell saw the key card.
You see, (breathing in) you feel the struggle stop.
- Yikes, stop it. - Lungs filled with piss
and a life with meaning.
- That's right.
Only touch my hips if you ask first.
(all laughing)
- The door bursts open.
Usha and Liv, you rejoin Paula, Dang, Russell and Wendell.
Back outside, the revolution moves and you are rejoined.
You can all get the fuck out of this space.
Johnny and Lucy rejoin you.
Doug whips the car back outside and you see- Honestly,
that car has crashed through a wall.
I think he gets like a SWAT wagon to get enough space
for your whole crew.
- Yes. - And just pulls
the fucking wagon out, all of you take off
back into the Los Angeles city streets.
(gentle music) You are rejoined all together,
and Dang, you see Liv for the first time
back in the SWAT car.
- Dang. - Thanks for saying
one nice thing.
- I thought you left.
- I did, but just to do the right thing
and not to do nothing.
(electronic beeping) - Thanks, man.
- Hell yeah. - Wow.
Russell, as you guys get to the SWAT vehicle
with Doug Meat driving, you see Usha, G13, back and stuff
and you have the Shadow Falcon Protocol with you as well.
- Can I do some sort of roll? (dramatic music)
- You wanna do a Wits check?
- Yes please. - Contested Wits versus Hot.
- Okay. - I am not hot so.
Four. - Oh.
- [Alex] A blow up? - 10, blow up.
- Ooh. - I will,
(explosion thundering) I have two tokens.
Is it worth it for me to blow up?
- What are you guys arguing about? (laughing)
- Well, I think I- - I think Ally's
just giving her the thing. - 10, blow up.
I'm at a 20 now for Wits. (explosion thundering)
- What the hell? - You're at a d20 for Wits.
Go ahead and roll that d20.
- I think maybe Russell thinks I'm gonna
like take it for myself. - 17, blow up.
- By the way, did you- - Oh, that's the
second blow up. - Yeah, so-
- That's crazy. - So how many do you have
in there right now?
- Okay, two, four, six,
eight, 10, 12.
So add another 12. - You are at 20-
- I'm not gonna blow it up a second time,
I'll just stay with the 17,
it's a really high roll.
- You're at a 24
and you have a d20 Wits, correct?
How many d20s are you rocking right now?
- Two. - [Brennan] Two, okay.
Four. - Does everyone have one?
- Yep. - I have one.
- Oh, okay, I gotta get one.
- So with that check, I'm gonna look at Usha
and I'm gonna say, "Oh yeah, I got this.
What's your granddaughter's name?"
(Jacob claps) - I don't think,
at first blush, I don't think he knows.
- That rocks. - Am I failing this answer?
- Yes 'cause the Wits so far outstrips the Hot check-
- Right. - That you cannot
conceal from- - Why the hell
do you wanna know my granddaughter's name?
(Izzy gasps) - I look at the rest
of the group. I think we all know how crazy that is.
- We can't get Usha to shut up about her granddaughter.
- Yeah. - But the only way
we can get Usha back is if she has her thing.
- Yeah, I grab G13 by the face and am like, "Where's Usha?"
- I hacked that old lady so long ago.
- How do you feel about Scrabble?
Let's bring her back. (Ally and Rekha laughing)
- Yeah, let's entice her out.
- Yeah, yeah, how do those tiles feel in your fingers?
- They feel like shit,
everything analog feels like shit.
Why don't you just play it on a computer, huh?
Computer's where I found myself-
- Guess what, you and me,
we're gonna go to Palm Springs together.
We're gonna have an old gals weekend.
- Huh, maybe you could have one alone.
- No, you little fuck.
(Ally and Rekha laughing) You little fuck.
Paula curses for the first time in her life.
- "You little fuck!" - I grab G13's hand
and I put it against my neck.
(Izzy and Alex gasping) - Feel it, tickle it.
- I feel like your neck is sapping
some of my masculinity out of me.
(Ify laughing)
- Okay, guys. - I might need to buy,
I might need to buy some supplements online.
- I take this, I bury this away.
At least we know that we have this.
- I'm gonna punch him in the face.
- G13?
- Yeah. - Gimme Tough versus Brawl.
- I'm Tough? - You're rolling Tough
and Jack's rolling Brawl.
- Negative three. - Gotcha.
- Okay, I got a four, so negative three is one.
Now can I say, I have Wildcard-
- Oh yeah, yeah. - And we have not talked about
what that is. - You do have Wildcard
and if you want to Wildcard, you can Wildcard.
I'm gonna let you know right now, you can do it once.
Not per episode, in the entire season.
- I am not going to do it because you said that
and you said it like that.
(Ally laughing)
- Hey, can I have a hug? - Remember, I'm your enemy.
I'm out here to hurt you.
(Rekha and Ally laughing)
- Because G13 really has fully hacked Usha
and he doesn't- Can I make one more attempt
to like find some personal piece of information about Usha?
- Well, let's resolve this check first.
- Great, oh yeah,
you've punched me. (laughing) - You've got a one, yeah.
- And I'm- - I think all of G13's
brilliance is like,
and what'd we roll for Brawl here?
- And I'm still at a d4 for Brawl.
- Unbelievable.
(die clattering)
- Two, I am going to spend four tokens to blow that up.
(explosion thundering) - Boom.
- 'Cause I'm still at severe.
- The encounter ended, did you heal a level
when the encounter ended? - No.
- Oh yay! - So you don't have to,
yeah, yeah. - That's nice.
Thanks babe. - You got it, I got your back.
So only two tokens blows you up, that's four.
Rolling a d6.
(die clattering)
- Five. (Rekha laughing)
(explosion thundering) - [Brennan] Double blow up,
double your tokens. - Oh my God!
- Okay, I have five tokens.
- Now you have 10. - So I'll have 10.
- Okay, and that's a 10 versus a one right now.
(Rekha laughing)
- I killed you. - You kill Usha.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Six.
- Six at a d8, do you want to keep this gravy train rolling?
- It's definitely funny, I think you should.
- You have a 16 right now,
but you're two away from blowing up again.
- Okay. (explosion thundering)
- Okay, you're at a d10 roll.
- Yeah, I'm daddy, I'm daddy this "Adventuring Party."
- That's 18. - Yeah, you're daddy now.
- 18, we're rolling a d10.
(die clattering)
- Two. - Two, okay, 20.
So one versus 20, Jack Manhattan just fucking hauls off
and puts- Whatever hacking G13 is doing
puts a fist on the button and you are lights out.
That's what we call a hard reboot, folks.
- Okay. - You're unconscious.
- Is that incapacitated or is that, 'cause it was like
19 more than mine?
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
So I would say this is effectively
like a Neck Snapper situation.
- Got it. - Where you're just
being put to sleep. - Little blackout.
- [Brennan] Little blackout. - A little tiny
bit of a blackout. - And I'm gonna grab her face.
- We just hear you go, "You fuck!"
(Izzy imitating fist thudding)
- I grab her face, "It's Lisa."
And then put her back.
- So you have G13, so this is frightening.
- Whoa. - And then, no,
I'm gonna pick up her head again.
- Okay. - I'm not done.
- Is Jack using her? - Is he like using it
like a microphone? - What's going on?
- This is like when little kids talk into your mouth
'cause they think that's where you hear from.
(all laughing)
- Your family (laughing) is so important.
That's what I've learned while I've been here.
- Oh, I thought that's what I learned.
- You see Lucy and Johnny.
Johnny says, "Love you, Dad."
Lucy says, "I love you, Jack Manhattan."
(Izzy laughing) "This guy has
a granddaughter?"
(all laughing)
- Shut up.
- "You got it, Dad."
- Okay, I'm done.
- Okay, guys. - Any other stingers
on this scene? - Sorry.
- I did- - We're good?
- No, I think maybe we all check in though
'cause this is scary.
What do you guys think we should do about Usha?
I don't totally know. (dramatic music)
- Well, it seemed like her touching my neck
almost got her back, so we gotta get that hand on us,
on one of our necks. - Yeah, get a little carrot
on a stick kind of situation, bring Usha back out?
- I mean I have to assume this is not the first time
somebody's hacked somebody else.
Maybe Santo Patron could be able to debug her or something,
I don't know. - Yeah, should we just
tie her up so that when she comes to,
we don't have to keep knocking her out?
- Yeah, I think that might be the safest.
- It was really easy.
- Would you guys tell me if this is a terrible idea?
This is Liv in Kingskin's body.
(Izzy laughing) What if I tried to crush,
you know what I- - We know.
(all laughing)
- By the way. - That's the season,
that is the season.
- So Liv got sucked into a tape.
(all laughing) - Just so you know-
- Just so you know what's happening-
- For now, right now in this scene,
this is what happened to Liv.
She got sucked into a tape
(Jacob and Izzy laughing) and now she's a big man.
- My god, I'm obsessed with that.
- (laughing) So this is Liv talking.
Okay, 'cause I'm Alex, so this is-
(all laughing)
- Uh-oh. - No, no, no.
- Are you trash can? - (laughing) I'm trash can.
- Liv is like, you guys tell me if this is a terrible idea.
What if I try to crush G13's skull the perfect amount?
(Rekha laughing) - It's bad.
- (laughing) Okay.
- Yeah, I think maybe not, let's just tie her up
a little bit, right? - The perfect amount
to shake Usha back.
(dramatic music) - Do you want to make
a Brawl check to attempt to do skull chiropractic
with your massive fingers to fix-
- Cranio sacrum? - Oh my God, yes.
- Should I do like a Wits check to see if it fails,
I would kill?
- (laughing) I thought you said witch check.
- (laughing) Witch check.
- Give me a Wits check, difficulty 10
to see if this is possible.
- Make a potion. - What are you rolling?
- Wits, d8.
(die clattering)
Seven. - On a Wits seven, go ahead
and take a Turbo Token.
- We're in the scene with you, I got one for you.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, thank you. - Blow it up.
- Blow it up, blow it up. (explosion thundering)
- Okay, we blew it up. - Blow it up!
- Are we rolling d10 now? - D10.
- Okay. - The answer is yes,
you'll kill her. (all laughing)
- You're not, this isn't- - I'm trying to be
responsible. - And you're not
a brain scientist.
- Yeah, you're trying just-
- I mean, I guess if I didn't roll,
then the rules of the game would just be like, good work.
(Ally laughing)
Well, nine.
- Nine, okay. - Plus eight.
- On a 17, you look at G13's skull.
It's possible.
(Alex and Rekha laughing)
It's possible to crush G13's skull.
- A perfect amount. - The perfect amount.
Hacking is a skill that has to do with programming.
The mind is interlinked neurons,
electrical impulses, chemical signals.
- And there's also just hardware.
- There's hardware. Is this not brute force hacking?
And if G13 could hack a mind with computer skills,
could not Liv hack Usha with Kingskin's hands?
(dramatic music) - And I don't know
if this matters- - That checks out
and I'm a 100 miles per hour in that direction, let's do it.
- And I don't know if this matters,
but Liv can fill out a Scantron circle perfectly.
- Perfectly, perfectly. - Okay.
- So you asked if this can go bad.
- Yes. - If you succeed,
you will be able to retrieve Usha.
If you fail, nothing happens.
- Oh!
- If you fail by five or more, Usha and you are dead.
- No! - What?
(all laughing)
- In episode 7, two characters-
- [Izzy] Why Kingskin? - And when you discover that,
I'm gonna roll something.
- Oh. - That's a nat 20,
so you have to do it.
(gong chimes) - What the fuck?
- Interesting. - I have one last craziness
to add to this, if I may.
- Yeah, yeah, I did roll for it
so we have to do I, but yeah.
- Interesting. - He's getting back at us.
- I have to- - I am a 20 in Brawl.
- Okay. - Can I walk up to Kingskin?
- Yeah. - And hit him so hard
with the d20- - Why?
- To give him a level of damage which gives him advantage
on his next roll after receiving that.
- What's that? - That's crazy.
- [Brennan] Okay. - What's that from?
- Just crazy enough to work. - [Alex] Oh, Diesel Circus?
- Go ahead and slap Kingskin.
- I say, "Kingskin, I know you can do this."
(die clattering) - Okay.
- 14. - Okay, go ahead
and gimme a Tough check.
(die clattering) - You get a d20.
- Seven. - Okay, you fail,
take an injury level, next roll's with advantage.
Take a Turbo Token as well 'cause you failed.
Jennifer slaps you so hard
(hand smacks) that you are better
at skull crush brain surgery.
- Focus. - Neuro double personality
hack finger crush skull hack surgery hack.
- And I say- - What is the DC for this?
(Alex laughing) - Wait, hold on, Cornholio.
(all laughing)
- Yeah, hey, Cornholio?
Hey, Paula and Jack- - The DC is getting to a 20.
- Have Cornholioed. - So you're rolling
with advantage. - Okay.
- You have a d12 Brawl.
The difficulty for this, quite simply,
and I can't make this any clearer, is 30
and now you have to do it. (Izzy screaming)
- Difficulty's 30?
- Difficulty is 30. - You've got this
and you're at a 12 and you get to roll twice.
- Okay. - You're rolling twice.
You're rolling twice. - Okay, also Jennifer Drips
slaps me and I'm like, "Ugh, thank you, Russell.
Also I no longer have a crush on you,
but I deeply respect you."
- Ooh, slapped the crush right outta your mouth.
- Cool. (laughing) - Wow.
- Slap me too.
- All right, roll, and honestly,
because if you get- - Yeah, I looked right at you.
(dramatic music) - If you get a 25 or lower,
you and Usha are both dead.
Pass the Box of Doom. - What?
- [Brennan] Yes.
- Okay, but we got a lot of Turbo Tokens here, right?
- Yeah, we have a lot. - So you're gonna roll two.
You're gonna roll two d12, go ahead and roll.
You can roll them- - Two d12s,
this is for Brawl, right?
- This is for Brawl. - Okay, and I have to?
- Yeah, you actually- - Yeah, I can't be like, okay.
- You have to. - You can't change your mind,
I've already slapped you.
(Rekha and Alex laughing) - Nope.
- [Brennan and Jacob] You got it.
- All right. - So crazy.
(die clattering) (Alex snorting)
- [Brennan] What's that?
- Roll another one.
- What's that first one? - Just the first one,
it's four. - Four, okay, okay.
- That was practice. - Great, great.
That's a four. ♪ Mama made me mash my M&Ms ♪
- Go ahead and roll. - Will we both die after?
(Alex and Rekha laughing)
- You begin, you put your fingers-
- Alex throws up. - You begin to hear
the first subtle cracks of the skull as you push the bone
of the skull into
rewiring the brain. - Oh no, too much, too much.
- Too much, okay, pull back.
Roll again, maybe this will be better.
- Now you've done permanent- (all cheering and screaming)
- No way! - Oh my God!
(Izzy just screaming) - I forgot that was a d12.
I was like, oh, it's a 12. (all laughing)
- You blow up, okay, 12.
- And we're at a d20!
- And now you're at a d20.
That is the d20 that we needed
for the next suite of abilities.
You are rolling a d20 now.
You have 12.
You need 18. - We need an 18 on the 20.
- It's okay, you got this.
- Here we go, you're rolling 20.
(die clattering)
- No. - What is it?
- It's a five. - Okay, we need 13.
- Wendell goes up behind Kingskin and like kind of "Ghost"s
with him and put his arm and gives you his two Turbo Tokens.
- You're 13 away, with two, you're 11 away.
- I have 10, right? - Okay.
- You don't have to gimme all 10. (laughing)
- Well, we do or you'll die. - Well, you're gonna die.
- (laughing) Yeah. - As I'm bleeding-
- You're not dying on us. - I'm bleeding your tokens.
- No, no, it's fine, it's fine.
- We're familia. We don't need cash, we need love.
- Without our siblings,
we are nothing. - Okay, 10, you're one away.
- Right here, got the one.
- Okay, one, okay, there you go.
So la familia embraces you.
You feel powerful arms of Vic Ethanol,
but more than that, the friendship of Wendell.
- This is too much, you guys.
(skull cracking) - Crack, crack, crack, crack,
crack. Blood begins to seep out
of the corners of G13's eyes and out of G13's nose.
You go deep, you feel a squish of brain.
The skin is holding the loose bones, and suddenly it clicks.
La familia, everyone's with you, including Usha.
Usha, you open your eyes.
You almost lost your family
because something outsmarted you.
What would you be willing to do
to never let that happen again?
- Usha looks around at all these faces
and they all click into place like code floating in columns.
And she says,
"What the hell is code?"
(Brennan laughing) - She's back!
- She's boongo, baby!
- Boongo, baby!
- [Ify and Ally] Boongo, baby!
- Doug Meat shakes his head says,
(laughing) "I'm driving straight to the hospital."
(all laughing)
Oh, and then you handed it back.
- Click. (exciting music)
- Boom, baby! - Nice!
- Boongo!
- With a deck of cards and a stick of dynamite
left on the bill for the next caper,
Doug Meat squeals out from a flaming FBI field office
to head to the hospital for all of you
in your various injury levels and a newly restored Usha
with a skull in no less than 58 distinct pieces
(all laughing) floating loose
under the skin. - I'm Pangea,
that's when I was born. (all laughing)
- And that's all for this episode of "Dimension 20:
Never Stop Blowing Up."
Tune in next week as we get our last MacGuffins
and heal our fractured skulls.
See you there.
Box of Doom, I need it.
- Yay! - Wow, thanks guys.
(explosion thundering) - All right, here we go.
- [Ify and Jacob] Let's suit up.
- Let's suit up. - [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- [Jacob] We're all feeling good,
why not look good while we're doing it?
- We're going to Lord's Cocktail Lounge.
- Oceanside Bar and Grill underneath it
and it conceals a international assassins hotel.
Nightclubs, private places.
- I wanna go to my room.
Okay, but just like kind of see what kind of stuff I own.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Okay, okay, great.
Okay, I just wanted make sure, I want clear communication.
- Yes, yes, yes. (Ify laughing)
- Okay. - Why are my checks
so crazy? - I believe in you.
- 'Cause you say the craziest things.
(all laughing)
- On diarrhea life support right now and I pray for her.
I drove in the first car.
(all laughing) During the prohibition,
I made my own alcohol.
- (laughing) Jesus Christ. - Nice!
- Gambling is awesome! (all laughing)
- (laughing) Gambling is awesome.
- I guess if you're like drunk and on a bunch of coke, like-
(all laughing) - It really is
the '80s back here.
- No, so sick. (Rekha screaming)
- Woo! - No way!
- [Brennan] Okay!
- [Izzy] Now wait a minute, are you shifty?
(dramatic music) - Archimedes Contingency,
Shadow Falcon Protocol. (breathing in)
And you see-
(Rekha gasping) - What?
- This is so fucked up.
- And everybody's turning coats.
- Look, my brain, Andy's brain, not deep.
Wide, not deep.
- People are double crossing me left and right.
- This is so deep.
- No! - No, no, no!
- [Jacob] They're all bad, and then who's good?
(chill '80s music)
(chill music fades)
