Damn, Beth got the Kelly Bundy woo

The past few episodes, Norm started to become my favorite of this season until Scary told him he was the glue 😭 (I have had Scary for 48 episodes and if anything happened to her - ) Normal really is the glue - he's the only one of the teens that hasn't betrayed/turned his back on them at any point (I use the word "betrayal" SO loosely, like Taylor's "betrayal" was leaving Linc to potentially die at the hands of the FBI, LOL). Someone give that kid a hug.

Who put all these tears on my face? Why the fuck am I cryin' in the club right now? Who hid this broken heart in my goof-em-up show? Goddamn...
Tony Loch
They have not
Gideon Greer
Am I insane or did they never use the sword that gets stronger when you whisper secrets in it

Freddie has been a ranger most of this season and didn't bother making or using a bow until after he decided to no longer be a ranger. 🤣
Josh Redcliffe
Another emotionaly brilliant episode! I love you guys so much!
Steve Pickwell
Normal’s such a drama queen.
Kai and Lauren S.
Y’all wanna go back to a comedy podcast or is your whole shit gonna be triggering childhood trauma now?
Jesse Barbour
Normal is the most season 2 character. First time I listened to these last few episodes Normal was the low point. Every other time I listen, he's my favorite. Will did such a good job, dang
ADoubleEgg
I NEED Willie's instrumental
Matthew Morse
Love the musical reference title, I see you Beth
Ethan
The DM take over has been crazy
Becky Ferguson
IF WILL HAD JUST ROLLED BETTER ON HIS INSIGHT WHEN TALKING TO WILLY AT THE END THIS ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED
Charleen Lamphere
Why was the creature's cell so easy to open? It had the power to cause all that destruction, but the cell could be opened by anyone? Or was Normal set up? 🤔😭
Seralyn Blake
HOLY CRAP "I know you did the best you could, but you needed to be better" HEART WRENCHING
Cassidy Skillett
I once stepped on a lego and ended up going to urgent care for antibiotics for a severe infection

Submit them on the discord in the #questions_for_teen_talk channel
Dr Giggles
Beth and Anthony are the best.
Nico
Infinity war vibes here. We in the endgame now

Just Drago Games YT
"YOU are the glue Norm" 😭😭😭😭 shit hit hard
victor lol
id like to have a word with YOU. will campos
Purple Cool Cat
Willy and his disguise trip will always be my favorite trick of his
Daniel Joseph
THEY SAID MY NAME
Nicole Jordan
Sort of off topic but Freddy’s thing about an undo button item, Gift of Gab kinda is that for social stuff
Pablo Acosta
SPOILER . . . . . . . . . . Honestly, it should be no surprise that Anthony would pull a surprise baddie disguised as another goodie at a key moment. It’s not like he’s tricked us before… (S1 Finale episodes, GoW Ragnarok)
Beck Webster
Yesssssss the return of shade witch in the opening 🧙♀️
Rowan Gingras
I think they stopped after the teen gang lost access to DADDIES headquarters, which is where the items were.
King Humble
Concerning Tamoku... let 'em cook.
Ross Skeggs
Didn’t they discover that lark or sparrow unleashed the doodler?
Andrew Katapodis
Link continues to be the worst character this podcast has ever created
Doot Doot
This is gonna get drowned and I don’t even know why I’m commenting. But FREDDY YOU DONT NEED PERFECT CONDITIONS TO SNEAK ATTACK YOU CAN SNEAK ATTACK WHENEVER AN ENEMY IS ENGAGED ON ONE OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS OR PREOCCUPIED WITH ANOTHER ACTION TAKING THEIR FOCUS AWAY.
Gabe Brown
What if Dood is actually god, and that’s why the throne was empty the first time they were there.
chadikins
So is link now lincoln logs?
Elle Campbell
This has unfortunately nothing to do with the episode but idk where to submit listener questions for teen talk and I have to know. Is Matt @matthewplayswithfire on tiktok?? If not, Matt there's a pottery guy with your exact same name doing incredible work you should check out
Phoenix Vizva’i
Dungeons & Daddies: not a BDSM podcast, but is a PTSD podcast
I hate Italians
I can never tell if will is actually crying
Andrew Katapodis
As a rogue player, THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO PROC SNEAK ATTACK COME ON GUYS
Ormur Guðjónsson
Anthony you sick son of a bitch
Jason Boulet
I’m glad I’m the first sick kid (now adult) to be apart of dungeons and daddies 😂 we need to make a club. And it’s hilarious the two sick kids who were apart of dungeons and daddies somehow are Canadian 😂❤️
Taylor
I wanted to vomit at about 8min left from anxiety. Have to keep reminding myself this is a game 😹
Matt Redman
If there is a spell to undo just one thing it needs to be called the Omega 13.
Cecilia B
I can't survive until Jan 16th. This was too much. I literally gasped out loud in public at the end! Well done folks. Happy holidays!
Grizz Lee
Normal can’t catch a break
SlwDnceChbby
as a Canadian i will check that out
Tree Embrace
That's got to be one of the least problematic things that man has done on this podcast, and that's saying something.
Jeff Melon
Your not crazy. it bugs me too but I think they just forgot or thinks it’s to op for situations
Harrison Lee
I think freddy shohld go back to his gut and be an artificer
Maddy
There's something very chilling about a grown man putting a collar on what we perceive to be a teenager 🤔 troubling!
Sam J Murphy
I love the musical title reference!
Patrick Morris
Like I get that they don't follow the rules, but damn it frustrates me when they can do something RAW but think they can't, so then make up some crazy reason why they can. Freddie can use sneak attack as long as a friendly is within 5 feet of the enemy. I mean the whole flaming marshmallow thing was way more dungeons and daddies, but still Freddie that's like rogues main thing you should atleast know how that works
Lorelei The Succubi and Kyra The succulent snack
Not Anthony describing the end scene from Hot Fuzz
Arielle
Scary makes me cry, my Oak boys make me cry ❤️ @ the 59 minute mark: Linc continues to be ZESTY WOW
Rachel
Is that the same merch store that filed bankruptcy?! A couple bands I follow said the same thing about their stock and orders. Amazing intro.
Corey Cox
I don’t really comment on stuff on here, but gotdang that was an absolute banger of an episode.
Benjamin P Parson Gomberg
Unfortunately that’d be Banishment rules, Plane Shift is instantaneous and you just are there.
Alex
Am I crazy? I swear Anthony gave the players the ability to pick one item from the patreon submissions every episode, but they haven’t done it for like half the year. Did they ever roleplay a reason why they don’t do that anymore?
hi hungry, I'm Beck
Who is going to tell Freddie that stairs wouldn't work upside down either. You'd just have a slope or like, a pit.
Seaglassslipper
I'm looking forward to their wedding anniversary! 🥰♥️🔔
Kyle Dawson
As a heads up, you don’t need to be SNEAKING for sneak attack to apply. As long as an ally is next to the rogue’s target, sneak attack activates. Just making sure you guys know for the future.
WolfGirl
If the gang reads these, I need Beth to know I heard the multiple excellent jokes that went unacknowledged by the rest of the group. They were fab and her genius is wasted lol.
Julia Name
The friendship bracelet is definitely the way to beat Willy. Also if Normal wasn’t concentrating then Willy will be kicked out of heaven in 60 seconds.
Otto Zeman
cowards for not making the intro a next to normal parody /j
Lexi SanDiego
I think normal’s theme song now is “Perfecr” by simple plan.
renaeisgae
STOP MAKING ME CRY WILL 😭😭😭 incredible episode
Teagan Turner
Traveling costs a lot of money
Teagan Turner
They become ramps lol
FusRohNahSon
he learned! its a fast lesson!
Ellen H.
I gotta pause for a meeting, but goodness gracious Anthony! The line “I know you did the best that you could, but you needed to be a lot better” physically hurt 😭💔 Hitting all my insecurities when my best effort fails, oooooof, top tier as always.
JeboyHidde
Wai a minute! Will states normal has great trigger discipline, but that can't be the case! The memory is the last training his parents did with him, where he had terrible trigger discipline :0
Leo Hall
My favorite intro ever
Luke Schultz
Holy shit this episode was so fucking good. The teens are on a role. I love this podcast so much
AshFlexum
William Campos you can't keep making me bawl my eyes out on my morning commute to work
Oh Lordii
The emotions in this episode man. Y’all killed it!!
Hannah Membrey
the immersion relief we all needed.., made me giggle too
Hannah Membrey
this is funking devastating
Savannah Brinkman
Such a good episode. I’m obliterated emotionally. Just. Damn Dude…
Aidan Whoa there
oak family my beloved
Cali roll
God what a emotionally raw episode. I felt like wanted shout in a conversation im not even part of
nathan seibert
I usually don't comment on anything but I have to say, in the best way, that was one of the most emotionally taxing episode I've listened to in a long time. Bravo guys.
CallMeDeadE
This episode just made me realize that Taylor swift is just Jay from big mouth loving pillows 😂
Shane Murphy
I need aftercare 🤣😭
KingDiabetes
Was not expecting to weep at this episode. Will killed me. Somehow he perfectly encapsulated how I feel when I’m down, and everyone else embodied how my friends pull me up
Cody Lewin
WOW! I did not expect to see them again so soon! Great job y’all!
Kara Joy
Stairs upside down don’t work either…
Bree
It’s been so long since we saw Willy I completely forgot about him! Sneaky Anthony!
Trevor Aucoin
Amazing episode!! That ending 💀🤯 My jaw dropped!
Emma Love
Will always hitting it out of the park with the emotional character work holy fuck
Dave Marshall
Absolutely amazing performance. You guys never fail to keep us on the edges of our seats.
Zack Bochman
Hi Will, I just want to let you know that I'm a 31 year old grown-ass man and you've made me openly weep at work every time one of your characters gets an emotional arc. It's been a rough week and I really needed that one, thanks bud.
jeremy adu-asamani
Meanwhile lark and sparrow chilling in the background watching their son have an emotional breakdown…👀
Esmé
the fucking TITLE I hope u know how much I appreciate this reference I literally just bought tickets to see n2n as well fucking serendipity baby
cool guy Julian
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING
Devin Willie
Yes! It doesn’t have to be “sneaking”
Mike Meade
I think it would’ve worked since there was an ally near the person he was shooting
Geekwiththebox
I only started the episode and Matts intro is already killing me
TheHegemonCaller
IM JUST TRYING TO GET READY FOR WORK. I DONT NEED TO BE HAVING EMOTIONAL REALIZATIONS. SILLY DND PODCAST...
Matthew Lemm
Good grief you always get me teared up at work
TrekkingPoles
What music did you guys use at the end there?
Masha Beletsky
Let the cat play 😭 I want to hear him
Phorsi
Great episode to end the year! Psyched for the new year!
Andre Souza
hearing Anthony say “sick little boy” upset me ngl
James Thoma-Chace
Where can you submit ideas for magic items? Or is that a higher tier? I got a good one in mind. Edit: found it! Never mind.
Danny
When Anthony offhandedly said to Freddy “cast darkness” I lost it 😂
BigNovaKane
Fuck! Nice attempt Will.
Ethan Sadler
Could you imagine if the Ex-Box produced Hermie's body?
Devin Willie
You guys have to learn how sneak attack works!! At some point one of you has to read the description!!
Sarahhh
Fuuuuuuuuuck my spidey senses were tingling i should have known
Widget
willy still at it with the grand reveals! what a good villain
SexuallyActiveToyotaYaris
Merry Christmas everyone!
MissXis
OMG I was screaming for a dispel magic
ADoubleEgg
What's the song in the background during THAT part? It was great
Ashley Nicollette
We're doing everything we can to make sure it gets home to you as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience.
SexuallyActiveToyotaYaris
Me too ✋️ 💅🤣
Samantha Mann
I just have to 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 your user name, I hope it gets selected for the Patreon shoutout someday
Samantha Mann
The way MY JAW DROPPED at 1:02:48 😱🤯🤬😭😭😭 Daaaamn, Daddy Master! Quit making it hurt so good!
Jess Houwen
I got so excited when I saw the title because Next to Normal is one of my favorite musicals.
jen Rogue
I can't wait for someone to animated of lego Lincoln
Tsunny Boi
Also the new normal would have worked
Bradley Barfoot
A sentiment I know a lot of kids deserve to hear
Bradley Barfoot
Matt the legend Arnold with "your dad hasn't grown into somebody proud of himself" is one of, if not the most profound one liners this show has come out with.
Dusti Nalley
Damn it Willy, how did I not see him coming?
Blake and Bailey
Lfg
Embroidery Bonanza
Between the jealousy at anyone else getting attention in his dad fact and saying “You’re not feeling what I’m feeling which is nothing,” Link is solidly in his Scary era.
Tsunny Boi
Am I the only one who is hyper fixated on Anthony is willing to do make a wish adjacent appearances for money?
Trevor Dorsey
Long live the Shade Witch!!! 😎
Liona Lutes
beths ‘not THAT together tho’ kills me
freshavocado
Freddie's cat. Omg I'm crying 😆
Embroidery Bonanza
Sometimes you think you can escape high school and then your favorite podcast becomes about teenagers and names an episode after the musical you listened to obsessively at their age and it’s FINE
Ophelia Bee
Oh RIP merch store 💀 Still excited about my Season 2 hoodie when I eventually get it lmao
SJ Faubert
I literally saw the episode title and said, "Oh, fuck me." :D There's no way that wasn't on purpose.
SexuallyActiveToyotaYaris
Keen to hear this ❤️
Jassims !
You know it’ll be a great episode when it has body horror in the warnings
Embroidery Bonanza
Opening last episode with Send in the Clowns and calling this episode Next to Normal… the theater kids are sad enough as we are. You can’t keep doing this to us. Thank you for the anguish, presumably Beth.
Vee Wilder Xoxo
THE TITLE. HOW DARE YOU 💔
bj's mustache
the title reference hit me like a bus
Joshua Johnso
amazing episode
