Speaker 1: Oh my god. What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: So we're going to take the week off because Blaine
is going out of town and taking on vacation. And
then we're also super busy, super super busy with a
ton of other projects. Some may say burnt out, burnt
like the Fires of Hell, that's right, but uh, and
we also we also have our live show that's coming
up later this month, the Life from Hell Extra Interactive

Speaker 4: So yeah, and also in the show we'll be giving
away like free stuff, so it might work out ahead anyway.
But yeah, so we're gonna be working on that, but anyway,
we wanted to still instead of releasing nothing, we figured, well,
why not we release something. So I'm sure you've heard
us talk about our pre show Why We're going to Hell,
where we talk about all the reasons in real life
why we might be going to hell with our guests,
and we want to go and give that one. Normally
it's on roots seat dot com for first members, but
we want to give a free one here for audio listeners,
and it's the one we did with.
Speaker 1: Gus Rolla last week. So we're talking. We're talking D
and D in this episode.
Speaker 3: Not to spoil too much, but yeah, we're promoting our
other show, Tales from the Strenky Dragon. It's our new
D and D podcast, something else that you should check
out because we just started a new campaign. It's a
great jumping on point, especially if you like dungeons and Dragons.
It's a pretty high production value where we're doing like
voice acting and music and all sorts of fun stuff.
So please go subscribe to that wherever you listen to podcasts. Yeah,
so if you don't, Yeah, if you don't want to
listen to this, go listen to that.
Speaker 1: Well, listen to both. No Chris, I told them to
listen to both.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, well we'll definitely go subscribe if you haven't
and give us a rating because it's a new show
and that always helps tell your friends and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 4: Anyway, without without further ado, here is why we're going
to hell. Welcome to why we're going to hell today.
We have got Sorolla globe. Some of the things that
we've done that have definitely uh been bad and going
to cause us to die and go to hell.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not going to cause us to die, just
going to cause it go to hell after we die.
Speaker 1: Right, that's true. Take the intro again, Chris, you embarrassed. Sorry,
I thought I could do it, but.
Speaker 2: I hope I never die for anything D and D related.
No lame.
Speaker 1: Oh and you know what's happened.
Speaker 3: Statistically speaking, there have been like a couple people who
have probably died from D and D related incidents.
Speaker 2: Someone's had their last sip of mountain dew then fell
over under the battle map.
Speaker 4: Just a bad role that somehow bounces up and chokes
in their throat.
Speaker 2: Like hits them right in the eye or like something
weird happening.
Speaker 4: So for context, in good morning from how our main show,
Gus was a dungeon Master, which is our kind of
D and D themed episode. So we have some D
and D themed questions for you today.
Speaker 2: Excellent. I've been known to play some dungeon and dragons
in my time.
Speaker 3: Well, to start us out, and this can be general,
doesn't have to be super related D and D. But
what is the nerdiest crime you've committed?
Speaker 2: Hmm, This wasn't a crime per se, but it's something
that's kind of like, hmm, not right, Maybe it's not
something I should have done.
Speaker 1: Before crime got it.
Speaker 2: Before Rooster Teeth. I worked in tech. Believe it or not,
you probably couldn't guess that I worked with computers and
one of my old jobs, I managed like all of
the it for a bunch of different offices, but specifically
also for the office that I worked in, And we
had two internet connections, right, We had like our main
internet connection and then if anything went wrong, we had
like a bunch of service for the company. So if
anything went wrong with it, we had a backup Internet
connection that I could just like follow everything back to
in case, you know, the primary one went out. So
the whole office used you know, the one Internet connection.
The other one just sat as a backup. And one
day I started thinking, I was like, why don't I
just plug myself directly into the Internet and that second
connection and just have like an entire company's worth of
Internet just for my laptop. So I did that, and
it's like I ran a separate like. It was just
it was. There was no firewall, no nothing. It was
like literally a cable to the Internet, no rep like,
it was just a straight connection to the Internet, and
I ran it to my laptop. So I actually had
two network cables, had one for my Internet and then
one for local network connection. It's like I didn't share
it with anybody else in the office, like I hugged
it all to myself. So it was so awesome.
Speaker 3: But this is back in the day, so I can't
imagine it's like a high like megabyte.
Speaker 1: It's like, do you know roughly what the Internet speed was.
Speaker 2: I want to say it was like a fifty megabit connection,
but it was also that Yeah, this was back like
in ninety nine or two thousand, which it was.
Speaker 1: Also it was a lot a lot then. It's like
a warp speed back then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was also like a business connection,
so it was guaranteed to have low latency. Like there
were a lot of perks associated with it. It wasn't
like a home residential connection that'll that'll fluctuate like it was.
They said it was fifty megabit and it was always
no matter why, it was always fifty megabit everywhere. It
was great. I loved it.
Speaker 3: I just say I feel like you probably chased that
high for years. You saw the face of God. No
internet was as pure and untainted as that.
Speaker 2: It was mine. I think I had my own block
of four, no six IP addresses with it too, so
it's like you have to manually send everything up. Like
I said, there was no router. I you know, it
was manually plugged in. So it was like I had
six different eyeps I could have used and you know, manually.
Speaker 4: Chosen from you were an Internet.
Speaker 2: God was the Internet.
Speaker 3: I think my nerdiest crime is there was this one
time where I had a it was like a.
Speaker 1: Introduction to criminal something or another.
Speaker 3: Like it was like a weird elective class I could
take in high school where you just kind of taught
you learned about like the law, and the teacher was
this like pretty cool ex cop that she was. She
just got out of being a cop because it wasn't
for her, but she knew a lot about like all
that stuff, so she was like, you know, teaching kids
about it. And there was this one class where like
we were watching some video and I was like I
just was not into it, and I was like a
good kid, but I think she came up to me
and she was like, hey, I needed to run me
an air and he stepping on the hall.
Speaker 1: I was like yeah, sure, and she brought.
Speaker 3: Me out there and I was like one of her
favorite students and she was like, you can go to
the computer live and play counter Strike while we watched
this video, and it was like hell yeah. So like
he was like two days with him watching this video
and me just going like he shat o.
Speaker 2: God, that's awesome when you're that age, Like that's so
fucking cool.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. It was awesome. She was a
really good teacher. She was also the kind of person.
Speaker 3: She was like, if you guys ever get called or
if you ever get pulled over by cop, do not
talk to them, call me immediately.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: She gave out her number at the beginning of class.
It was like she was. She was a different in
a different league, great teacher.
Speaker 4: Also a lawyer, I think mine and I don't even
think I realized I was doing this at the time,
but I think when I was in like fifth grade
or sixth grade, uh, you know, Pokemon cards obviously was
a big deal. And I remember there was this one
time I was like trading cards for this kid and
I and I don't think he fully understood he had
a good card, but I don't think he quite understood
how good it was. And I like was like, oh, well,
you can have this.
Speaker 1: I did that.
Speaker 4: It was almost like you know that trick where you're like,
just people are exchanging money. Oh, hend me a ten
for twenty and then I'll give you back these. But
it was like, okay, you had me you know this
uh Dutch dig lit and I'll give you here's three
pigeos and you know, and I was like, okay, cool that.
Speaker 2: I think that's true.
Speaker 4: That worked out great for you.
Speaker 1: You changed the kid, change him.
Speaker 4: It was just like a back you just one side
of trade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can remember, like what was the actual
card that you got.
Speaker 1: I remember the card.
Speaker 4: I just remember like feeling like huh, like walking away
from it, being like I got a good deal, but
also being like.
Speaker 2: That was kind of evil. Somewhere he's telling He's telling
the other side of that story someone right now at
this exact same moment.
Speaker 3: This is my shiny charzyard that I got from Chris
Damars I got I once. I remember, I got a
hit hip Mond Chan stolen from me. I remember like
where I was, what it looked like at all the details,
and how I was so upset my mom got involved,
and then his mom got involved and it was just
a nightmare.
Speaker 2: Did you ever get it back?
Speaker 1: Of course not No.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine being a parent me, Like, God, I
gotta go deal with this another adult because my kid
has this card he cares about. Like yeah, Like I said,
like that becomes like as an adult, that becomes like
on your list of things to do that day. It's like,
go talk to another adult about a card that my
kid got stolen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So on the subject of D and D, what is
the most evil sin you've committed in D and D?
Speaker 2: I think D and D for the most part, like
your role playing sin NonStop. It's like a murder simulator, right,
like you killing but that aside. Once I did something
that again, something I shouldn't have done. I rolled a character.
It was an elf or a half health forget what
it was hell for half healf. And I've told everyone
that I was a fighter, but secretly I told the
DM that I was a rogue. And well, I was
pretending I was a fighter, and nobody knew any better, cause,
like you know, at the beginning of D and D,
like your characters don't know each other. You get together
to do a question or whatever. And I was secretly
stealing from the party when everyone went to sleep at night,
and like I would make separate roles just to like
see if I could successfully steal stuff without anybody noticing.
And it all eventually came to a head when like
someone was missing stuff and then like the party decided
to go through my belongings and found like all this
stuff that they've been missing for oh my, I mean
it was weeks, and like they like they wouldn't know
their stuff was missing, like would be in the middle
of battle and someoneould be like, I'm gonna drink my
potion D and be like you can't find it, like
what my back, So like it all came to a head,
like they they found all the stuff on me. Then
one of the characters was a cleric and he cast
the zone of truth, and it's like, you have to
tell the truth unless you make a saving throw. Secretly,
I did make the saving throw, but they didn't know that.
So it's like I could lie even though there was
a zone of truth. So I started making up this
story about how I was being framed and everyone had
to believe it because I told him the story in
the Zone of truth. So like they all got their
stuff back, and then from that point phot I was
like all right, alright, yeah, I'm a rogue. Okay, so
so so what I promise I was stealing you guys
at all. You know, we kind of like moved decided
collectively to move on from that.
Speaker 4: That's so funny.
Speaker 3: That's like, that's what makes Dungeons and Dragons magic, is
the fact that you can like do that kind of
metagaming and just like go behind the scenes and lie,
like I need to take advantage of that in our
in our campaign. That's that's brilliant, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we where I was passing notes to the DM,
like I would always sit next to him and like
kind of like write little notes and like you know,
slide over the little slips of paper when people weren't
really paying attention. Good, just to try to avoid drawing
attention to myself.
Speaker 1: Have I met this dam is the guy them ticket ism?
Speaker 2: No it was. He was in the party. He was
one of the people I stole from.
Speaker 1: But okay, he was not the gotcha that's hilarious, dude.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I was gonna ask, I mean, this might
have been it, but have what's the biggest fight you've
had in D and D?
Speaker 1: I guess, like meta game wise, like outside of it,
not like it was a big troll.
Speaker 2: That incident was probably the second biggest fight I've ever
I've ever had in D and D. Like that was
I thought people were gonna hit me my god.
Speaker 1: Role for attack.
Speaker 2: And role I thought. But also that same party, there
was a guy later months later we played that game
for years, Like this is a game that went on
for probably like seven or eight years months maybe years later.
There was one guy in the party who like he
just always kind of rubbed me the wrong way. He
was always like he had like tons of books and
would like try to start cherry picking like the best
classes and the best items, like like really minmaxing the game,
like trying to find things that were broken and then
exploiting them. And like finally, after like dealing with this
character forever like everyone else in the party like collectively collective,
he was like, we need to have like an intervention
for this guy, Like he can't keep doing this. He's
breaking the game, like the game's the game's not fun
just because he you know, he's he's ruining the fun,
like he's just you know, finding all these loopholes. So
we all met up. We always played on Sunday, and
he showed up for the game on Sunday and we're like, listen,
you can't keep doing this, you know, it's you know,
we did. We laid out all of our case and
he got furious, like he just started screaming at all
of us, talk about how you know we were just
jealous of him and yeah, and then he like he left.
That's the last time I ever saw that dude. He left,
like he collected all his shit, like went out into
his car, like we could hear him like peeling out
down the street and leave.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: But it's like the game got better after that. I
mean it was. It was really rough, and you know,
I didn't think we were who knows, I'm not objective
about it. I didn't think we were disrespectful about it.
We were just asking him to like not do that anymore.
Let's like try to like, let's have fun, don't just
try to be the most powerful character ever, you know,
let's just you know, play the game together.
Speaker 3: So was that a situation where he was just like
you would come into an encounter and he would just
always win or have some bullshit thing met.
Speaker 1: Well, he's make him conquer, right.
Speaker 2: He'd be like, I'm playing this class and we'd a'll
be like, I've never heard of that. He's like, well,
it's in this obscure book here. Let me show you, Like, yeah,
I purchased this item that like none of us have
ever heard, like, and we're not all D and D
like all the people who were playing in that party
tons of experience with D and D. But he's like
he just he literally had every book and compendium ever
and like stuff that none of us had ever seen
or used before. And I was like, God, it was
just too much. I think to this day that's why,
like I'm very wary of a lot of expanded books.
I like trying to stick to the core books as
much as possible to this day, like whatever, like we
start like leave it in our campaign, Like whenever we
start like trying to pick and choose stuff from the
expanded books, I'm always kind of like, let's try not
to do that. Let's try to keep it as core
as possible.
Speaker 3: Now you pull you pull that on me because like
I was gonna do ELF and I was like, Oh,
this Goliath type sounds really cool, and you're just like no,
And I was like.
Speaker 2: It's that guy's fault that I'm like, to this day,
fuck that guy.
Speaker 1: I want to be a Goliath.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Then have you have you ever just straight up cheated
on a role?
Speaker 2: Mind, I don't think so. I want to say no,
like i've even I mean I've had I would say it.
I've had opportunities, like I've had characters that I really
like die, you know, And it's the kind of thing
I was like, Oh, if this role was just one
or two higher, everything would be okay. They're like no, No,
got to play the game, you know. And so I
don't think so. I've I've tried to keep things because
it's a game in the end, right, Like I mean, yeah, right,
well what's the what's the point?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it. Then it's like well yeah then
you then none of it matters if you're not playing
by the rules.
Speaker 3: And I feel like that's what that other guy just
did not understand. Is just like it's it's a game, bro,
Like you need to like ease up, right, This is
Indian is supposed to be for fun, not not a job.
Speaker 2: And fun for you one you're not trying to beat
everyone else or like beat the d M.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a couple of times, like in our
last campaign where I got really attached to my character,
but then I was also like, hey, if you want
to kill me, man, like I've got a great idea
for another character, and like you just got to think ahead,
you got to think in those terms.
Speaker 2: Well, so I feel like I should clarify. So I've
never cheated on a role as a player, but as
a DM, I fudged roles before to like make things
not so bad for a party. But I feel like
that comes that that's part for the course with your dming.
Sometimes it's like, man, I really don't want things to
go that way. You know, I feel bad for them.
So it's like we'll say that this is okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's all of a sudden discretion, right, I
mean that they're in charge of how the game works, so.
Speaker 2: Right or all of a sudden, the monster fighting has
let's hit points that it did a little while ago,
you know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: On that note, final question, what's the worst way you
fucked over a DM, Like, so not necessarily yourself, but
like you just cheated out or did something?
Speaker 4: Yeah, did something that broke the story in a way
that like they weren't prepared for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's been several instances where we've done that
to you and tell you're frustrated, You're like.
Speaker 1: This did not play out how I intended.
Speaker 2: So I can't get too mad when that happens. Because
whenever Jeff and I Jeff, you know, a mutual coworker
of ours. When Jeff and I used to play with,
Frank was another guy that we've worked at the past.
Frank would DM sessions and we would be part of it,
and Jeff and I had an understanding that was like
we would always try to walk in the opposite direction
from what Frank wanted. Us to. It's like, if the
story's kind of telling you to go this way, it's
like we're gonna go the opposite direction. It's like we're
gonna try to like take things off the rail immediately
as much as possible. And luckily Frank's are really Frank's
really good at improv and he's really good at coming
up with a story on the fly, so I think
he got used to it pretty quickly. But I can't
imagine how frustrating that is for him to constantly be
trying to like get us back onto the story and
the stuff that's prepared, when we're just constantly like, no,
we're going to go with the other direction, like spending
hours preparing a story and then everyone just to ignore it. Yeah,
it's like in like Super Mario Brothers, if you started
the game and instead like you just immediately went left,
You're like, like, I'm not going to go in the
direction of the game wants to tell me to go,
you know, backwards.
Speaker 4: And it's it's all just the leftover like level designs
that weren't finished or they're trying quickly, they're trying to
quickly put together levels for Mario.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this makes me really really want to play god.
I would like to drop everything to just play some
Dungeons and dragons today. Fortunately, we have a new show
coming out called Tails from the Stinky Dragon that all
three of us are in.
Speaker 1: It's Chris myself, Barbara.
Speaker 3: Dunkleman and oh my god, John Reisinger, John and then
Gus is dming and that's going to be coming out.
Speaker 1: What is that coming out?
Speaker 4: It should be out now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sweet. The trailer the first episode premiere is May fourth.

Speaker 4: It's it's really I mean, it's really fun, and we
have we have I feel like our characters are well
one so different than the previous characters we did for
our live stream, and then like, I don't know, it's
I'm super excited to see where it goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're really focusing on the audio aspect of it.
We don't have any visuals, so we're really trying to
craft a story so that as a listener, you know,
you don't you can listening in the car or at

You know, we're trying to take care of it all
via audio. And by the time you know, we're recording
this right now, we've already recorded a couple episodes of
that D and D show. And I think it's going
