What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Merle is one of the most forgiving and unashamed characters to exist ever. He makes friends with the enity that is chasing him throughout 100 lives in 100 universes and had killed him many times. He faces the hunger and humbles himself by bringing his enemy into the parley space. He dies over 50 times making friends with a nihilistic monster who kills him at the end of every interaction. He had the chance to get his arm back with the chalice but he bared his mistakes and learned from them. He said ‘I like that guy’ about the grim reaper who tricked him into loosing his hand in the first place. He stayed with the people he gave faith to on the mushroom planet where he gave an honest speech about his own insecurities about life and death but still gave hope to the people. He gave 40 of his hit points to heal Taako for 20 in Wonderland. Merle didn’t rush in but he always followed his friends into danger anyway. He asks the leader of the hunger if he’s his friend and waits 30 years for John to realise they were friends all along.

I’ve been working on this for months and the truth is I could continue to add to it forever but I want you all to enjoy it with me
transcript:
Griffin: [as Jenkins] A witch kissed me and cursed me so that anytime anybody yells a secret word, I have to attend to their every need, and that word is my fucking name, Jenkins.
Justin: [snickering]G: Are you naming your goddamn wizard Taako?
G: Oh- shit. Oh, god, oh, god, where’d it go, oh no, no, no!
G: If possible, I would love to- to avoid a shitting-based solution? Uh, A, because I don’t want to know what exists beyond the explicit tag in iTunes? [Justin laughs] I don’t- like, is there a fucking NC-17 rating? I don’t wanna- I don’t think I wanna be a part of that. But also-
Justin: [crosstalk] Hey!
G: I would also not like this scene to drag on out as long as- as a human being’s digestive cycle.G: [background laughter] Fun show, fun show games!
G: And I think I just described a plant orgasm. And this has been Fifty Shades of Green [Clint laughs], starring four idiots.
G: So the end of that sentence that you cut off was- and I- so I won’t be able to put up with any shit today, but the problem is I already have? Now people will stop tweeting about me that I said one of Barry’s favorite things is swimming in a cold lake on a hot day, and then in two episodes later say he didn’t know how to swim.
G: ‘Kay, you and the box both drink POISON! And you survive, but the box has died.
Clint: That means it’s open, right?
G: Yes, with that the box pops open and it has 900 gold pieces inside.
Everyone: Yeah! [cheering]Travis: I get it.
Justin: Damn, that’s a good door!
G: No, it’s- [yelling] let me finish describing what happened to the door! I’ve been trying to tell you what happened to the door for like ten minutes!Travis: I tap it with the Glutton’s Fork and I swallow it.
Justin: [muffled wheezing]
Griffin: What the fuck!Griffin: [laugh-crying] You’re gonna turn him into a man tube? [wheezing] You- you’re gonna turn him into a bag or a shelf with the rock sitting on it-
Griffin, loudly: What the fuck?! [audience laughter]
Travis: Double damage is- 4 and 3 plus 4 and 1.
Griffin: I didn’t give Marvey HP!Griffin: Is the stapler in here? Anyone want the fucking stapler?
Griffin: Oh, Jesus, you love this shit! [Travis, crosstalk: I’m sorry-] It’s your- You’re a fucking pervert! Fetish- you’re exposing everybody to your fetishes!
Travis: I’m so sorry!Griffin: Uh- it is an uneventful climb to the twentieth floor. And, uh- as-
Travis: Floor twenty!
Griffin: as- as- What?
Justin and Travis: [snickering] Floor twenty!
Griffin: [pause] We’re not gonna say anything better than that-
Travis: Griffin, we have to fight some weeds at floor twenty.
Griffin: We have thirty minutes to go, and we’re not gonna say anything better than that. Did you even think about that?Justin: I grow bored with this fight. [laughter]
Griffin: Okay. [crosstalk]
Justin: I’m- I’m casting polymorph on myself-
Griffin: Oh, fucking- wow.
Justin: Griffin, I’m texting you- [Griffin: oh]because you’re going to need this information.
Griffin: Oh my god, Justin.
Justin: Yes.
[Wonderland music starts]
Griffin: Taako’s arms sink into his chest, so that he’s just got, sort of, little arms, and his head gets really big, and really long, [Clint laughs] and his teeth get very sharp, and he grows a tail, and he turns into a tyrannosaurus rex.Griffin: [yelling] Oh, NO! Are you keeping track of how many times you rolled as well?
Clint: [crosstalk] To be honest the educational system in Huntington, West Virginia sucks-
Travis: Twenty-five! Twenty-five! Four, four! Twenty-five! Twenty-seven! [overlapped with Justin]
Griffin: it’s dead- STOP! Stop! You’re killing him!
Travis and Justin: Thirty! Thirty-six!
Griffin: Stop! He’s already dead!
Travis: One more, one more, one more- [Clint: C’MON!]
Travis and Justin: Thirty-seven! [A pause as the audience laughs]
Travis: His parents feel it!
Griffin: You fucking- you fucking- this turtle’s- this turtle’s parents-
Travis: [crosstalk] Is that where the turtle’s brother dies?
Griffin: -forget about him. This turtle was a successful turtle author, and the words on his books fucking vanish. [audience laughter] You have erased this turtle from existence.Travis: But my butt-
Griffin: [yelling] Come on, I’m in hell! [crosstalk] I’m dead and in hell now! You opened the door! You built the fucking door! Out of wood! Shitwood! Shame on you and shame on us!Justin, as Taako: Garfield?
Griffin, as Garfield: Yes?
Justin: I have something I think is really going to interest you.
Griffin: [yelling out of character] OH MY GOD!
Justin: This is the Slicer of T’pire Weir Isles [background laughter] and I notice that you have a really cool sword. It’s a Flaming, Poisoning, Raging Sword of Doom, I believe it’s called.
Griffin: Oh my god…
Justin: And- I’m looking at your entire stock and it does seem to me that’s your most valuable posession, would you say that’s accurate?
Griffin: [laughter, as Garfield] Yes, it’s absolutely the most valuable thing in the store!Griffin: [very tired] I didn’t expect it to go like that. [audience laughter] Um- and-
Travis: What did you expect to happen?
Griffin: [yelling] For you to catch a fucking fish in my fish mini game! [audiene cheers] Is that so- Am I out of my mind? Is that an unreasonable expectation? To give them a fucking fish mini game- Taako makes the lake float, Travis jumps in with a rapier, like, “let’s get it done!” and Dad makes, the- the fucking shit teleport away! [audience laughter]
Clint: Welcome- welcome to The Adventure Zone, Griffin.

unarguably the funniest moment in the entire podcast so far
summary (because this audio isn’t edited and has irrelevant filler)
-Taako purchases The Slicer of Tapeer-Wheer Isles: “A stone which, on a successful Persuasion check, can be traded to anyone for the most valuable thing they have in their possession” for 900 gold.
-He also purchases a book that increases his persuasion skill, and uses it.
-Taako convinces Garfield the Deals Warlock to give him the Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword Of Doom (an extremely overpowered weapon worth 60,000 gold that Griffin placed in the game as a joke.) for The Slicer of Tapeer-Wheer Isles.
-The trade succeeds, and Taako (a wizard who has no use for a weapon like this) immediately straps it to his back, revealing that he purchased it as a fashion accessory.
You don’t need to know DnD or even this podcast to understand how great this is. Because you can hear the moment that Griffin realizes the shit his brother is about to pull, and simultaneously that he can not only do nothing to stop it, but that he gave him the tools to pull it off so *perfectly*
This is just gold.

Justin (as Taako): Uh, listen. I know you’re really worried about your friend right now. And I know you don’t know us really well, but let me promise you this.
Justin (to the DM): Are we out of the Zone of Truth?
Griffin (DM): Yeah. Yeah, you’re far away from it.
Justin (as Taako): Everything’s gonna be fine.
