They no telling where they'll go, and it's nothing short of when they should
be. Well, Steve, it's been a week. Have you gotten tough
enough to fly? Not personally. I wasn't sure how to do it,
what ridiculous exercises I'd need to do? I thought I might have to consult
my doctor first. I didn't get around to it. Drew, Well,
I didn't either, and that makes us both worse than Nashal. Yes,
yes, that's true. The return of the Boy who lifted. Oh that's
fantastic. Oh man, you know what the last episode I thought they were
just leaving is on a isn't it funny that Matshill still come fly? But
no, it was all resolved. So we're starting to get into a habit
of the show to do a little bit of a light to less like Cliffhanger.
Before they were kind of a little more self contained. Now we're we're
starting the old hook and draw strategy. But before we get too deep in
For those who don't know, I am Drew Hayes and I am Steve Weverall,
and we are both authors on the Authors and Dragons podcast, and this
week we have Authors and Dragons con Yeah, holy shit, yeah, let's
come around quickly. We throw convention every year since twenty nineteen. Well,
we did digital one for twenty twenty for obvious reasons. We were lazy.
Yeah, that that was there too much booze. But we often do adventure
Rodio, which is us playing games. But this right, right now,
we're doing adventure showdio where we talk about various online or various properties. And
by various I mean just Mashall. Just in theory, the show format could
encompass more, but right now it's just Mashal. Yeah, I mean there
may be other programs, but none of them will be Mashall. Indeed,
unless they make more Mashall in which, yes, which them maybe the future
of this podcast. It seems like almost certainly they will based on the reception
this thing is getting. Yeah, I mean it's a little fun, magic
and muscle. What more is that to life? So we're gonna we got
a lot to talk about for this one because we've got two episodes and we
want to talk a little bit about A and Dcon, which Steve will be
leaving for tomorrow and I will be out on Thursday. That's why we're doing
this a little early. But episode four of Mashell opens with we've called this
the not Harry Potter thing a lot, and they're really they're going in.
I don't know if it's a joke widing Drew or a necessary legal protection.
It's very thin line. I feel like we have to call this not Harry
Potter and not Quittitch or we may be demonetized. Yeah, so we get
the opening of four opens by telling us that there are in fact multiple dormitories
at not Hogwarts, which it seems to be just not Griffin or not raven
Claw, not Slytherin. The huffle Pups just got fucked off entirely. Oh
yeah, who needs and Drew really just each ship, y'all? I guess
man that. Yeah, Well, this is a very kind of This is
a lot harsher than if there were a Hufflepuff in this universe. They would
have will been killed as babies. Let's be real. Yeah, this is
not a kind universe. We've seen that reinforced multiple times. We get some
more reminders of it in these episodes. In fact, but learned speaking of
the dorms of Harry Potter or not Harry Potter, I made up a Harry
Potter joke once true, I never got to use it. Do you want
to hear my Harry Potter joke? By all means, how do evil wizards
fuck? They slither in slithering? That's my joke I made up. I
don't care if anyone else says. So we U. So we open on
an education about the dormitory system. We learned that mash is in uh not
Griffin doorfin. They're they're playing not slitherin in, not Quidditch. They really
did not stretch themselves in the slightest doing the background of this world. Just
fuck it, copy paste, copy paste. It's just a very bizarre fan
fit in many ways. What's the opposite of a raven? I don't know.
I guess an orca? All right, Yeah, that works for me.
Air water, small pig, I get it. Yeah, Okay,
as we go through it, the kind of pick Latin Harry Potter's stuff,
they've done it in mashall but I guess because English is already a foreign language,
that they've put an even less effort. There's a few of those coming
up that I want to talk about. Yeah, this one starts because we
last saw mashall in roped into a quidditch game by his mate Tom, who's
very enthusiastic athletic believer type, and we last saw him because he can't fly,
he doesn't have any magic powers. That's his whole thing, and the
whole crowd was just booing at him and growing garbage at him, and the
narrates steps in. Mashall says to himself, I should probably just go home,
and the narrator says, yeah, you probably should. I'm not sure
where the narrator's coming from, but this is the second time the narrator and
Mashall have clashed. I'm starting to think that the narrative might resent Mashell.
I don't know. I feel like the narrator and Mashall were agreeing on that
point. Yeah, but it's not very encouraging. Yeah, he should probably
go. This premise is ludicrous. It's like the narrator was expecting a regular
protagonist and he's a bit pissed off about it. It's a red situation in
your ash, Mashell's ash. There's a progenitor who's supposed to be I don't
know, so, yeah, Mashall clearly doesn't believe in his ability to use
magic here because he doesn't have any magic. But Tom knowles this just walking
aggressive force of garbled cliches, just screams motivational catchphrases at Mashell until he's ready
to be the hero. It doesn't work, Mashell seems. I don't know
if Mashell has conventional emotional reactions or if he just recognizes that there's Tom Guys
kind of annoying dick, but it doesn't work on him. It feels like
he is aware of the ludicrousness of his own situation. Sort of going back
to the narrator thing, It's like, you can do it. It's like,
no, I really can't. His reaction is what you yours in mind.
If someone flew down, We're like, okay, I need you to
fly up and help us win this match. Like I don't know what to
tell you here, man, Yeah, Steve, I need you to open
a port into another universe. Yeah, I don't know how to do that.
Well, maybe you're just not believing in yourself enough. Ah, gotta
tell you man. Feels like that's probably not the issue here, But Tom,
I guess he does. Nobody knows that Mashell doesn't have magic. They
don't really run into people about magic, So Tom's just shouting, Yeah,
the life you need to be more like bamboo and other unhelpful things. He
can motivate mashell to defy the laws of reality. But yeah, so the
plank, wint it's not allowed to use magic, but he do have to
fly on the broom. So how did you think he was going to get
around this? True? I thought they were going to do a little bit
of of a similar play where he had leapt during the broom race. I
thought he was going to and he does jump up into the air, But
did you for yeah, did you for a moment think that he might just
move his legs so quickly he hoves like a helicopter. Oh no, I
definitely thought he was going to be like bouncing off the stands and stuff.
Yeah. Like I I didn't think they were going to take it there,
but I liked it when they did. Honestly, it was so it was
so shocking that one of the crowd temporarily forgot how to speak Japanese. Everybody
speaking Japanese, he does that, somebody says, wow, that's amazing.
It Equally show was like, what, wait a minute, I've never been
so surprised at I've suddenly started speaking Japanese. But then again, I've never
seen a man harver just kicking his legs. Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe
I just haven't been that surprised. I mean, god, it would that
we were all so lucky. Well anyway, yeah, mashall, he Harve
is using his ludicrous athleticism and he's just shooting hoops basically with the Yeah he's
fingers, so it's basically not quidditch, but without the snitch. Yeah snitch
right, yeah, something like that. Just stint Well, that always felt
like cheating to me anyway. Yeah, that was always dumb, and so
they don't. They don't have that. Instead, he just throws infinite curveballs
through the get from the goalpost, catches it again, he manages out on
the score. Yeah he don't. Yeah, nine hundred ninety nine to forty,
from one, from forty to one to nine hundred ninety nine. Yeah,
he kills him. Basically the crowd is showing sorry for throwing garbage,
you fungus boy, which I guess is as close as he's got to acceptance
so far. But I did like that. I was reading role Dahl's biography
the other day, and there are so many weird contrived games that they play
in private schools that have been forgotten in the midst of time, like all
the easy ones lived on except for critic Cricket. I don't know it,
but yeah, I always thought quidditch just sounds like a load of dumb bullshit.
But I think there's just there's just all these games lost the talent time
that we're just dumb bullshit, like with weird snitch rules and things. I
don't think any of them could fly. But yeah, that's just an interesting
aside. This, this version of quiddache made more sense to me than than
many actual real games from my own history. So yeah, I mean it's
basically just basketball except on brooms and without the point variants. Yeah, I
can get pine that. That's seems reasonable. Yeah, if human beings could
fly, this feels like a sport we would actually play. We're not.
We can't be that far away from like drone brooms, right, that's going
to happen in our lifetime. Kids are going to be killing themselves and that
in about twenty years, right, I feel like the drone brooms will be
used to hunt us down, but like they'll exist. Yeah, whatever comes
after gen Z will be chasing us down on electronic flowing blue. Yeah,
the wicked Witch of the West and the ying monkeys in a whole new perspective.
Yeah, yeah, it's all drone metaphor. I can attach a monkey
to a drone right now. Who needs magic? But that was magic back
then. Man, It's true as though such fig as magic. It's just
unknown science or stupendous athleticism in this place. I love the image of the
shitload of monkeys that have been strapped to drones. I mean it is just
as terrifying, right, it's more terrifying because those monkeys have no control and
they are Oh no, the monkeys have wings, so oh, don't worry,
they're just attached to drones. Yeah, you're right, that's worse.
That's like shaking up a can of beer and throwing it into a room.
Accept, it's a fucking monkey. Oh my god. I wonder if anyone
someone must have considered like air dropping a load of crazy Bucky's into an enemy
position. I know I have, I've seen Nope. So like it feels
like Jesus sorry, that update to the Wizard of Us is going to be
terrified. Yes, yes, so so Marshall with his amazing run of score
unsuccess. Surprisingly, they win the game and win a silver coin, which
is first coin. That's how you become a divine visionary is collecting coins.
How does that relate? We don't know. No again, convoluted point systems.
These all exist in the English privacy course. And then we get our
one of our our first new characters, who's in the intro. You can
see he's the silver haired one with the two lines on his face that we've
got a little thing running below us. For those who are watching on the
YouTube, For those who are listening along, I guess go check the YouTube
or google it. That seems like the easiest fix there, those are options.
I want to use your imagination. Yeah that also works fine. But
we have a character who popped up and I have to say, knowing your
thoughts about boarding school, I was very curious to see your thoughts on Lance
Crown. Yeah, well that's first. First of all, let's talk about
Lance Crown, the name I've been I've been suspecting as we're going along that
somebody just has an English boarding school name generator in Japan. It's like Lance,
like Knights Crown, you know, like I got that ship over there,
right, Lance Crown, I'll do it. Yeah, And I guess
what's interesting about Lance comes in like a serious character. He's the straight a
student. He's like a double line magician, which are one in a million,
chosen by magic itself. And he comes in to challenge Mashell, immediately
imprisoning his friends. But we find out he has nearly, so very nearly
a noble motivation, but it's just it's twisted beyond. This character is so
very nearly like a normal guy that you could relate to and like have,
like as a serious counterpoint to Mashell if it was not for his weird obsession
with his sister. Basically Mashell in him. He needs to get the coins.
We don't find out why till later. He traps Mashell's friends in a
bottle he's going to drop off a cliff. While they're scuffling, Mashell opens
a locket. He looks off his neck and it's a picture of a little
girl and he's like immediately like, yeah, he's a Lili card. It's
like, I need to call the police, need to check this guy's hard
drive. I'm like, there we go. The other shoes dropped, But
that is actually worse because Lads is like, hey, I'm not a pedophile,
I'm a sister phile. Like, that's that's not any better, Lens,
that's I mean, he does explain it, and he tries to explain
it. He has he has an ill sister. His sister used to look
after him, his little sister. He's he's got kind of a guardian aspect
to him, and she's got this disease where she's losing the magic and it
looks like, you know, there are stark consequences for that. Their parents
are talking about handing her over to the the magic Nazis or whoever in charge.
Serious. It's an interesting, uh contrast to retro who we saw go
to such pains to hide and take care of Marshall, who was not genetically
you know, he was a baby he found. Whereas these parents just their
kid gets a disease that starts slowly eroding her magic and they're like, well,
gotta toss her to the government. Yeah, that's kind of a put
a harder edge to it, because it's not like, oh, some people
in magic and some people in art's like, if you lose your magic,
we're going to throw you in the same system. So, yeah, pretty
harsh, and I would have thought that was all handled quite seriously. But
Lance is still really super weird about a system. It's a It's an interesting
thing with Matshell. I feel like they go out of their way to be
like, Okay, we're gonna give you the standard running crew of friends,
but you're never gonna feel totally sure about rooting for them individually. Yeah.
I mean, Matshell's kind of spoke about it. He doesn't maybe like connect
with people, and possibly because he was raised in the words, maybe he's
just he's got a little bit of a condition. But I think he's kind
of right not to connect too deeply with his friends because they're all they've all
got something going on. They have this exchange when they're having the dramatic exchange
and Lances to Mashal, what's the most important thing in the world. He's
like, love, no freedom, no human life. No, no,
it's my sister, my sister, who's the most import figure in the world.
You could, Lance, you are very nearly noble, very nearly un
You just had to go full animatedn'y you never go full animal. They always
they always tweak it a little too far. Yeah, Yeah, you got
Lemon and her let's say, unhealthy interest in mashal Uh, we have we
have Lance and his let's too far devotion to the sister. I guess Finn
is arguably just a coward, which, given the context of his life,
is not an unreasonable reaction given the casual, horrific implications of Maschal's monster like
strength that he's surrounded by every day, don't you know judge him for being
a coward. Yeah, he must be constantly anxious about that. Mashell destroys
everything he touches, and this guy lives in walking like in touching distance of
him, it's not unreasonable to be a little worried. Yeah, Mashall might
like they share a room. Mashael might have a nightmare and Finn or just
wake up with a broken spine. Yeah, it's you get fit, will
never wake up at all. But Finn is us is all of us.
Yeah, what I did like about this Mashall and Lance have They're like,
it's not a fight. Lance is going to drop the bottle off the cliff.
We found out it's a fake boat because Lance is essentially a good guy,
and Mashall has to catch it before it hits the ground and we get
our first named special move. I do like a named special move. I
think if somebody does a special move about naming it, they've wasted their time.
The Big Bang Dash where he basically muscles up from a starting and moves
at the speed of light and land says is he using some kind of physical
enhancement magic? And I really wanted Mashill to say, yeah, it's called
lifting broh. They didn't. Wait. I just thought that would be the
perfect time for it, which also brings forth a really interesting question. So
we've not really seen with the exception of like I guess the not Dumbledore,
we haven't seen people use more than one type of magic in Mashall's running group.
So if physical enhancement magic exists, what if it is heer just lin
say he had that? Yeah, you think would just be like he does
physical enhancement magic. Oh, I say, he's just super good at that
one kind of magic. That's why he can fly by moving his legs quickly.
It's all very believable as a cover story. Yep, didn't do it.
But I also do like, Yeah, I like the name thing.
I like that he has started just saying the word like hamstring magic. When
he does something, it's like Matchell has realized, Okay, if I just
say something magic, people will buy that. This is beating the shit out
of your magic fabrica. Bitch. Yeah. Yeah. So he wins the
encounter of Lance, and Lance honors to bet ends up giving him some of
his coins. So Match's about free coins up right now, slowly sort of
gathering his roster of weak supporting characters. But I think we're about to meet
what might be my favorite character of the week. Supporting characters well before before
we get to the would be main character. I do like the little digression
they take to make a man Drogue Ocean where we learn that everything Marshall cooks
becomes a cream puff cream Man Drogon were absolutely awful, and imagine to make
them truly awful. I do like how Lance because they introduce Lance back to
that and he's like, yeah, I'll help you with your potion assignment.
When Lance walks in, Matchell's like, oh, it's the pedophile and Lance
is actually that sisterfucker. I'll have you known. But they have a rapport.
But yeah, he offers to help him with their potion, and for
some reason, everything Mashill. He's an extremely good cook, providing the end
result is a cream puff, and no matter what he does, the end
result is a cream puff. Again, I'm never sure if Mashall knows when
he's fucking with people or if he's just an agent a chaos, So I
don't know. Well, I like that they do it once where he follows
all the steps that Lance does and it comes out as a cream puff and
it's like, are you fucking around? He's like no, And so they
go again, and this time they go step by step with him like Lance
going and him going like each in succession, and then at the end it's
a cream puff and it's like, when the fuck did that become a cream
puff? I watched him the whole time. Again, he could just be
using his super speed to fuck with lets. We don't know what's going on
here. I'd lads just say it. Says say to hims like you're completely
useless when not fighting. I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, but
yeah. The next then we're introduced to Dart Yes Dot Barrett, which is
an old lady's name. Again they just picking these names at random, but
yeah, there would be main character. I like this guy. We're kind
of we're introduced a bit more to the langdorm, the slivering of this not
Harry Potter franchise, the obvious bad Guys, but Dot Barrett's hole. The
first time we see him, he just walks through a crowd of people like
a like a tough guy. Somebody's like, hey, he walked right up
in our faces there, and his retort is to beat the shit out of
everyone and say, what am I supposed to do if I'm not walking up
at people's faces. I do like that. He's just sort of I am
this guy. Your all side characters. I am the main character, and
this is how I act. It's a strong opener. He's even got the
kind of like main character haircut. I'm not sure what I want to say,
not Kiah, there's definitely some kind of mainstream anime where the main character
has that exact haircut. Yeah, it's a very oh he just popped up
below us. Yeah, it's a very protagonist head cut. Haircut cut.
Heck, I don't know. I don't know how they do things, but
yeah, he's a number one character in this world, or at least he
thinks he is so instantly, doesn't really get along with Mashall, who's the
actual protagonist I see. I don't know if he's like self aware that he's
in an anime, but he seems to sort of like glom onto the fact
that Mashall's his biggest freat instantly, So maybe he does understand them the narrative
he's in, well, not instantly with Mashall. He we learned he doesn't
like good looking guys. That is not a Marshal out of the gates,
you know, not until he's showing off the physique. Yeah, nobody's called
Mashall good looking, and it called him mushroom boiler, a lot of mushroom,
mushroom head, mushroom boy. Lemon likes him, but she's she's got
some kind of problem. And Lemon is in fact the instigation of the issues
between Meshell and Dot because as we established, Lemon is very much a big
fan of Marshall and Dot. It turns out has some very Internet troll like
thoughts on women showing attention to anyone who's not him. Pretty insell about it.
Yeah, he's got a he's got a kind of it's like, you
know, there's a one to one ratio of men and women, so,
you know, sex communism. But it's like, if there should be,
if there's one to one, why is no woman like me? Yeah,
it's nothing wrong with a system man, that's it. But yeah, much
like him, as it should be in real life. Everyone just ignores him
when he's kind of having these weird little rants to himself, which is right
and proper as it should be. But he kind of he's not a total
deck. He turns himself around. Later on, they're all out in a
field for a test. The test is scorpions, by the way, it
is, it is scorpions. They've they've been there two weeks now, time
to feed into some scorpions again. Yes, it's not a nice world,
not not a kind world. No, yeah, it's time to separate the
the children from the dead children, I guess. Mashall, Yeah, we
meet this livering bully boy. I forget his name, but slivering bully boy
is basically what he is. He's a classic anime punk bully. He's given
Masha All a hard time, so Lane Lane's like, okay, Masha'll stay
close to me, and you know, if these guys fuckers will take him
on. Immediately says that and Mashall's just disappeared, and he just it cuts
to Mashall and he's like, oh no, I zoned I zoned out,
and now I'm all alone. And I thought, that's I'm never related to
a character so hard before. Yeah, yeah, been there. Should I
start paying attention for ten seconds? No, I don't know what's going am
I? I'm so lost the party decided to do what we're cut. Yeah,
there have been times on the podcast or I've just got I need to
pull something out of back here because I do not remember what happened for the
last five minutes. People might have thought I was being contrarian, but no,
I just I didn't know what was going on. Yes, So the
advantage I guess of him wandering off by himself is he meets up with Dot,
who immediately freaks out on seeing him. He's still a bit angry about
the whole main character thing, so Mitchell just slaps him, which seems to
work, seems to sort of readjust his priorities. But Matchell says something I
thought was a great line. After he slaps the guy, he's just looking
in his hand. He's like, oh man, you made me waste calories.
I forgot about that. The idea that he's so kind of I guess
he must constantly be thinking about his nutrition and exercise. I've always he wouldn't
be a ridiculous muscle freak. But the idea, it's like, you made
me take a physical a pointless physical action. There's done nothing but waste a
perfectly good cream puff. There was no gain in that moment. Yeah,
I didn't get stronger, I didn't eat a cream puff. What was the
point of that. Yeah, but he's way you found out that's not such
a bad guy because there's a couple of wizards facing off, a womanly wizard
and a manly wizard, and that's not having that's he's instantly like you're raising
your hand to a girl, You're done as a guy. So he takes
the guy out. So he's pretty cool. But as soon as he gets
attention from this female wizard, he falls apart. He just completely in cells
out. He cannot deal with with female attention. And I mean, I
feel like it's made very clear pretty quickly that she is doing a can on
them, which it felt like from the minute we saw her in the Evil
Dorm Robes, it was like, oh, this is a trick. Yeah,
that's the problem when you can't do like, okay, we've got free
dorms, dorm at dormb and dorm chaos evil. What kind of people do
you put in a chaos evil dorm? Oh, you know the chaotic evil
ones. Just you know, if someone's a piece of shit, they go
into nut slyther. If you see somebody in a shade of evil green with
black highlights, just stay out away. Yeah. Yeah, So it's not
very subtle, but it does work massively on darties, perhaps more so immune
to seduction magic or not immune to vulnerable. So a marshal seems immune for
one reason or another. Yeah. Again, I don't know if this is
is kind of I was raised in the woods and I don't really get it,
or if he has some kind of difficulty processing emotions like everybody else does,
it works out in his favor. In this case, he's not he's
not succumbing to any seduction magic. I took it as he's just not interested
in somebody who doesn't lift. Yeah, that's it. I think he's got.
He's he's generally got. I always played Brandon Firemaster as asexual because it
never really sat well with me that he'd like anyone board than himself. So
maybe he's kind of he's just that deeply interested in his own development. He
doesn't really have time to put that energy anywhere else. He's in a physical
relationship with getting Swall. That's what it is. I feel like if we
ever, if we get to see a character who can lift comparable to Marshall,
whether he swoons or not, will be a very telling Yeah that's true.
Yeah, and I don't think that's ever kind of happened, so yeah,
well we'll see. So he's immune to the charms, but Dot is
not. And she automatically said, oh, I've been being harassed by psycho
punk bully boy, which is I just I guess her way of getting Dot
to kill himself by going up against the the slivering bad boy. He does
because he's a he's an idiot, a well meaning idiot, he's still an
idiot, and he's got some moves. I think all of his magic is
just explosion magic. Yeah, he is all awesome. Yeah, he's just
like Abrica Blam, that's it, Abrica shotgun. Motherfucker. Again. I
was talking about the pig Latin that I use for Marshall, which is even
less advanced than the Harry Potter stuff. When Lance was doing his gravity attacks,
he shouts, Gravioli, chefau is great darts attacks, he basically does
just say explode. Yeah. Yeah, it's not particularly original, just of
saying an English word vaguely differently and saying, well, you know it's magic.
Now it works, I'm here for it. Yeah, Marshall's is the
cleanest linguistically hamstring. That's what's gonna get him busted. He doesn't call it
ham run. Yeah, but yeah, so Dark, armed with his nuke
magic, goes to town on the Bully Boy. Does not work. The
Boy's got protective Earth magic, which he uses to uppercut darts lungs out through
his nose. Yeah, it's looking pretty bad. But while he was doing
this, he accidentally knocks Ashall's cream puff out of his hand. So he's
dead. Yeah, I fully expect the next episode to start. It's just
his corpse. We could just move on. We're just zoom It's a zoom
in on his face, looking like it's triumphant, and then as you slowly
pull out, you realize the head is connected only to the spine. Which
is hanging limply in the wind, gripped in Matchel's fits, just a single
accusatory dropped cream puff near his mangled corpse. Yeah, it doesn't really,
it doesn't really have the big deal. I think we get it. I
think we all know how this is going to play out. It's a it's
a formula, I think right now. Of course, as they're establishing the
running crew, you gotta have your B team so that you can have your
fights with stakes, because obviously Marshall's gonna win his fights, yeah obviously,
But yeah, that is Mashall episodes four and five. We will, of
course eventually get to six and seven. I'm not quite sure when we might
be shifting back to regular brodio, but I know that this week we are
very very busy with Authors and Dragons Con. Holy shit, man, this
means it is. It is going on. Yeah. Steve flies out tomorrow,
I fly out Thursday. We're heading up to Portland, Oregon for Authors

do Settlers of Katan. So a lot of opportunity to come just hang out

I have a special quiz show with all sorts of fun prizes and even
complimentary snacks. So yeah, it's gonna be a COOLSS run. I'm really
hoping that nobody checks my bag going out here this time. It's something it's

just traveling to some weird sex thing. That's fine, they probably get every

in there as well, I don't know. I don't know if I can
look them in the eye if they checked my bag. Too cool, too

this Adventure Brodio Adventure Shoudio special, we will see several of you this weekend,
but for those we don't, we'll be back next time on another Adventure
