Top Episodes Quotes
- “I feel like butt chugging makes sense in a world. It's like the cocaine thing joke that we did. If you're in, like, a frat, a frat bro world, and you're role playing like you're at a frat party or you're something butt chugging. Kind of makes sense. That's where that happens, primarily, I would assume. But if you're, like, in a high fantasy adventure, it makes less sense that they would do that.“ by Bob Muyskens
- “Also, they probably tried to, like, train some of the more explicit things out of it. So for, you know, safety reasons, you know, they would probably try to eliminate some of the things from the training data or at least mask out some things that would be not safe for work.“ by Mark Fischbach
- “You know, we do always say that.“ by Mark Fischbach
