Honey, I disintegrated the Tigrons, Weekend at Olga's, Frozen 2, Ginger Waterslide Boogaloo, and Being Lucia Marszabitch. Hello Crawlers.
SPEAKER_2 (1:25)
No, no.
Martin Thomas (1:26)
Do that one again.
Grant Davis (1:28)
And Being Lucia Marskabitch. Better?
Martin Thomas (1:33)
You know what?
SPEAKER_7 (1:34)
I'm just gonna take it as it is.
Grant Davis (1:37)
Hello Crawlers, and welcome to Episode 65 of your Dungeon Crawler Carl Podcast.
We are covering A Parade of Horribles, chapters 45 through 51 today. And I'm Grant.
John Rubio (1:52)
I'm mortified to be on this show after that intro.
Grant Davis (1:55)
John.
Martin Thomas (1:56)
And I'm Martin as well. Ditto.
Grant Davis (2:00)
You guys don't like that? No.
I was trying to keep it all 90s. I don't know why.
John Rubio (2:06)
Good question.
Grant Davis (2:06)
Although, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids might be in 80s.
John Rubio (2:09)
Might be late 80s.
Martin Thomas (2:09)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_7 (2:10)
I'm never really sure.
Grant Davis (2:11)
I feel like I saw it in the 90s.
Martin Thomas (2:14)
Being John Malkovich Squeaked In at 1999
Grant Davis (2:18)
Squeaked In. What a year.
Folks, we got a big episode today.
Martin Thomas (2:26)
It's Squeaked In.
John Rubio (2:27)
What a year. What?
Grant Davis (2:30)
I mean, Fight Club and Matrix also came out that year.
Martin Thomas (2:33)
1999 was a big year movie-wise.
John Rubio (2:35)
It was fun movies.
Grant Davis (2:37)
Yeah. All right.
We got a big episode. Before we get into all of it, I also have a couple of cool things that happened in the week since we recorded our last episode.
John Rubio (2:52)
You sent us a message saying, hey, I've got a surprise for you guys. We're going to do that thing when we get here. I'm thinking, fuck, what is going to make me wear?
Did he get me a nana costume?
SPEAKER_6 (3:07)
A man-of-war costume?
John Rubio (3:08)
No, a banana costume. A banana costume. Look, you're that banana crawler from Book 2 or 3 or whatever.
Grant Davis (3:13)
I got something where Martin gets to sit on your neck and you guys are now a mantard.
John Rubio (3:19)
It's going to be great.
Martin Thomas (3:21)
You're laughing, but we wouldn't put that past you.
SPEAKER_6 (3:25)
I don't.
Grant Davis (3:26)
There's certain things I think you'll begrudgingly do, and he won't. I just don't think I can manage that one.
John Rubio (3:35)
I'm just thrilled at the idea of that a mantard could be a half man, half man, but they're two different races.
SPEAKER_6 (3:46)
He's got identity issues. All right.
Grant Davis (3:49)
Our first one, we were contacted by a listener Robert Griswold, who is not only a big fan of the series, and I guess presumably yes, but also has a little Etsy shop where he makes patches.
SPEAKER_6 (4:04)
Oh.
Grant Davis (4:05)
He makes Dungeon Crawler Carl patches. Robert Griswold, you can check him out at dungeoncrawlerpatch.etsy.com and he was just like, hey, I want to send you some patches. I like the show. If you really want, you can also send people to my site and if they use Hello Crawlers as a coupon code, they get 10 percent off.
SPEAKER_6 (4:24)
Oh, nice.
Grant Davis (4:24)
Cool. I was like, I'm not getting paid for this, but sure, let me see whatever your stuff is. Then he sent it and I was like, what the hell? Check it out.
Oh, my God. Check out his patches here. I'll put them up on screen for you guys to see too.
John Rubio (4:38)
Those are awesome.
Grant Davis (4:39)
He's a badass. He just sent two of these things.
Martin Thomas (4:41)
These are incredible.
Grant Davis (4:44)
I just said if you want to send a few, I didn't know he meant a few as in two full sets of everything he made.
