Quotations

 * Brian: "I don't know what this channel's become but Liam O'Brien's wearing a cowboy hat and that's all that matters."
 * Laura: "I think everybody should refer to their penis as a tiefling because Matt accidentally said that and it made me so freaking happy."
 * Liam: "You know, I like to have fun in my D&D campaigns?"
 * Laura: "I don't think she expects anybody to be something."
 * Liam: "[Xhorhas] is metal as fuck, sure, but it's rough."
 * Liam: "He's not scared of being manipulated, I think that is done. I think that he went all in for a country and realizes that that is a load of horseshit."
 * Liam: "My man is cocksure about what he wants to get done."
 * Laura: "I have no backup. Nothing. Not a single idea...it's kind of like a 'living in denial' situation...I feel like if I make [a backup character] it's like saying that I'm ok with her being gone."
 * Brian: "Max, did you put shrooms in Laura's tea again?"
 * Liam: "It was like putting tieflings in his arms."
 * Liam: "He wouldn't want to do anything boring but this group doesn't do anything boring, they're sticking their nose into all kinds of dangerous and interesting places."
 * Dani: "She is Nott the Brave."
 * Dani: "This has to stop. We cannot turn every D&D race into a dick joke. I put my hand down."
 * Laura: "I think [consecution] means something about being reborn."
 * Liam: "I don't forget my spells, I don't make mistakes, I don't do things too many times or too few times, I don't make poor decisions in my D&D games, I don't kill my own D&D characters. I do everything perfectly and anyone who says otherwise is probably telling a little bit of the truth."
 * Laura: "I feel like Liam has a stronger platform."
 * Dani: "Contractually, as Sam's campaign manager, I have to vote for Sam. But he's also not *paying* me, so I'm just saying Liam that if you were to pay me I could maybe switch sides...I am working for exposure only and I feel very exposed." Liam: "My shell corporation will talk to your shell corporation after the show."
 * Dani: "Like the wand of smiles, but for dicks!"
 * Laura: "It's important that he appreciate himself the way others appreciate him."
 * Liam: "That elf made Caleb nervous."
 * Laura: "If anyone's gonna die soon, it's me."
 * Laura: "I miss Percy. I missed that relationship so much."
 * Laura: "It was painful, but she didn't have the reaction to it the same way that Keyleth did. It was bittersweet. I think she appreciated that someone appreciated what her brother did."
 * Brian: "Do you think that he is so committed to the bit that he is willing to die?" Laura and Liam: "Yes."
 * Brian: "He was constantly pulling stuff out of his mouth during the show."
 * Laura: "I was fully thinking I would have to leave Trinket behind."
 * Liam: "Roasting the shit out of Travis."
