Roll the dice, raise the ale Heroes gather, tell the tale Chat Monday the quest's begun not ones fly but we still run Mud's up high Let legends come welcome into Chat one and Done.

Hey everybody.

Welcome back to Chat one and Done, Season four final episode.

We're doing this one because we were a little short on the first.

On the first episodes.

The tournament went great.

It's.

We're just one episode short.

So this is basically just gonna be kind of like a little review of what happened and just want to go over some of our favorite moments and what happened in the finals because if you guys missed it, we just put out our final episode for the actual tournament.

Tournament.

We did that.

We did.

There's some crazy in there.

We're gonna go over some of that stuff as well.

But before we do any of that, I just want to go ahead and real quickly say a very special thank you to all of our participants.

Thank you, Kaylee from Reps and Respawn.

Thank you, Lilith, aka demoness to impress Mr. Coffee Horse from Coffee and D and D. Mac from Coffee and D and D. Thank you.

Now the other side of the bracket, we have John from Gaming Creations.

We have Joe from Dice Circus.

We have toast, aka Mr. Slippery Rick.

Sorry we had to put you back in prison.

You got a violated parole on that one.

Sorry, buddy.

We'll see him eventually.

I know he's not gonna stay in prison for long and then never know.

And a very special thank you to Andre from Tabletop Jamaica.

Just everybody.

It was so cool just to get everybody from like different places and kind of come together and just kind of talk each other for a bit and then play head to head games in our own little kind of fucked up mini Hunger Games.

Yeah, but you also forgot to mention something when you mentioned Andre.

It's not just Andre from, you know, Tabletop, Jamaica.

We'll get to that though.

We'll get to that.

How dare you deprive him of that so early.

He will get to it.

We'll get to it.

God damn it.

But also thank you to my, my co hosts, cj.

Thank you for helping schedule everything and make everything run as smoothly as we could get it.

And thank you, Dante, aka Mr.

Zero.

Thank you for just being here, bringing the laughs and providing us with our sick ass games for this season, which I, I believe we've discussed that we will probably be carrying these over into the actual seasons.

Yeah, I, I think there's definitely a few that we will.

And I kind of want to see what other randomness he can come up with for some new games as well.

Yeah, man.

Speaking of games, what was your favorite one that we played?

I kind of liked.

Honestly don't have a favorite because they all had great points.

They all had great improv moments.

They all had great shock value.

It's.

It's really hard to pick in this one.

Although I would have to say the whole robbery one, that was a good one.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was a pretty good one, too.

I'd say my favorite game was probably the fucking creature charade.

I think we have to simplify that a little bit more to get it to work.

But it was just hilarious watching them try to figure out, like, the item or the creature, and then just halfway through that, they kind of gave up and just started giving, like, trying to help each other.

They.

They reminded me of a Canadian game show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's exactly what it kind of came off as.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, but I got to give this answer now, and I'm gonna win, but I am so sorry.

Yeah, it was like, no, it's not that.

Maybe it's this or it's more like this or this.

And it's hilarious to watch, like, go back and listen to the season because you realize that that's an ongoing theme with all of our guests.

That they're just super nice.

They just want to be friends with everybody.

Like, they're like, I'm sorry, I don't.

I don't want to talk you, but I. I have to.

They're making me.

I mean.

And again, that.

That's what it's about, you know, during the competition time, talk, go head to head, be at each other's throats, and then once the competition's over, it's back to the friendlies.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You can be friends after the competition, but not during.

God damn it.

This is a to the death.

Although you don't actually die because, you know, we couldn't get that approved.

But still, it's a simulated to the death battle.

Yeah.

So God damn it.

Somebody has to go down then.

They did.

We had a lot of people kind of work their way through.

We got a lot of unexpected results because, honestly, from my initial pick at the beginning, I was incorrect.

Yeah, my.

Yeah, my money was on Joe winning, and she got pretty far, though.

She got into the semifinals.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was a.

That was an epic one.

I know I did, behind the scenes, have to miss some of that one, but, yeah, I. I still got to hear a good chunk of it.

And then, of Course, you know, through getting it all posted and all that stuff, got to listen to it again.

So I did at least get a catch up on what I missed out on.

And there was some pretty epic talking in that one.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

That's kind of where like the.

The friendly talk.

Kind of like.

I want to say that's maybe one of the best insults came out in that episode where Andre basically like in the chose dice circus to beating a dead horse.

I was like, jesus, dude.

Yeah.

He said friendly.

What is this?

I mean, there really is no way to friendly talk.

So it's talk, but just don't take it personal because it's not type of thing.

We're all friends here.

Yeah.

We can, you know, go, hey, you suck, and I hope you.

What's that lyric?

Oh, yeah, go eat a burger and I hope you choke on a cow dick.

But not really, though.

Never heard that lyric.

I'm gonna be honest with you, brother.

I don't know what the.

That's from.

It's from.

What is that band that does the.

I'm on a boat.

Lonely Island Boys.

Oh, the Lonely Islands.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's one of their songs.

It's.

It's the.

The.

You can just.

Off song.

It's like, oh, yeah, if your mom and dad are ever being bogus, just telling mom, dad, you can go off.

Yeah, I. I don't remember that song off the top of my dome like that.

I. I played a lot of it during the pandemic at work.

So, yeah, I blocked this time, that time off.

I mean, honestly, I try and block any time off at that place off.

So, you know, listening to Chat1 or Tales or watching random YouTube videos to get ideas on crazy that we can implement is how I get through that place insanely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So let's get into it.

My guy.

What happened in the finals?

Give us a rundown.

Give us a breakdown.

Let your beautiful mind shine.

So two came in and only one left, and that was the finals.

God damn it.

You know.

You know what the.

I meant.

Get d. Detail recap, Detail recap.

Come on, man.

So we had Lilith and Andre go head to head in an actual character on character battle.

And it took some crazy turns.

There was some near misses.

There was a lot of thought going into who was going to come out victorious on our end.

And there was a lot of, like, really close moments where it seemed like, oh, this person's gonna win.

They.

They got it.

They got it.

And then just at the end, it was a complete opposite of what you thought again, I'm not gonna delve too deep into it because if you want to hear the epicness that it was and how that battle went, just check out the episode before this one and you can get the full.

I think it was like a two hour, two and a half hour.

Two and a half?

Yeah, it was like two and a half.

I want to say.

Yeah, it was an epic battle.

But in the end, I believe we had, we had done like a little poll in the discord and I believe Lilith was the prediction for the win.

Yeah, she was the projected winner.

Except for my vote.

I always win Andre.

And Andre ended up coming out on top.

He is the champion of the Sovereign invitation.

Our sovereign.

He's the Sovereign Chat one and done.

Sovereign eight Invitational first ever champion.

Yes.

So congratulations again, Andre.

We are still trying to figure out everything to be in said gift package.

Winning a dollar.

We're going to pay like 40 bucks to send you a dollar.

No, we'll, we'll end up getting with you.

And it is very on brand for Chat one.

Right.

But we'll, we'll figure out what all we're going to send because I know we have some ideas that we're going back and forth on.

I know there's going to be an engraved piece of steel in there for you that's going to have a kick ass design with your name on it saying, you know, sovereignate champion.

There's going to be some kickass stickers and included and then some other random that we come up with.

A sock.

Yes.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are we sending the package to Andre or are we sending it to Dobby?

Both of them.

They got to split it.

Oh, all right.

I want to see a battle between Andre and Dobby.

No.

Yeah.

Andre would come out on top.

I can't imagine, I can't imagine all the emotional turbulence that that would cause.

I can't go through this again.

Right.

And also with that win, we will be having Andre come back for the first episode of season five.

We also do have some stuff planned to possibly hear if he's got some creepy going on.

But I think it will be epic to hear his side of the recap, hear how he felt during and kind of what was going through his mind while everything was going on.

Because it is kind of stressful.

Like people hear it and they think, oh, that, that doesn't seem too bad.

But when you're put on the spot in front of everybody, in front of all the listeners out there, like it's, it's not easy.

You start getting anxiety, you start, you know, getting scatterbrained.

And trying to keep everything together isn't as easy as you would think it is.

Yeah, it's.

It's pretty hectic and it's kind of overwhelming sometimes.

Oh, for sure.

But that's all part of the fun.

It helps you get better at thinking on your feet.

It helps you use those DM brains that I think everybody that we had on, besides Almost Toast and Gaming Creations, I believe, John, were dms.

Yeah, we really.

I just realized that Chat one is a lot of interviewing dms.

Yeah.

And it's.

It's not a purposeful thing.

Like, we.

We try and, you know, get just a broad mix of people, but we've kind of revamped that process for bringing people on so we could diversify it a little more and have players, DMS creators just broaden the spectrum to every aspect of the tabletop community.

Not just, you know, the.

The DMs behind everything.

So that'll be kind of cool to see how that works out for the next season as well.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

We're going to try to be more inclusive for everybody.

We're going to try to have everybody going around having some fun, getting some different content creators going, maybe some different people creating different games and stuff.

But we're trying to branch out a little bit more from DMs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I mean, again, it's.

It doesn't have to specifically be, you know, Dungeons and Dragons.

Yes.

That is the big focus of it, but there's hundreds, actually possibly even thousands of tabletop games.

I've never actually done the research as to how many different ones there are, but I know there's a ton that run on different systems that use different methods of dice, all that kind of.

So we kind of want to hear more about all that stuff and again, just bring all those people into the fold.

It's a community for nerds like us that love all things tabletop, all things nerdy.

So why not get all of us together in a room and toss up some gold and see what kind of chaos ensues when everybody tries to get it off the floor.

Yeah.

The way you describe that, I thought you were gonna lead into, like, why don't we just hold everybody hostage?

I was like, we.

We can't legally do that.

We can't legally.

But we could have Dante.

I don't think we can afford his bail again.

We can't afford that.

We just won't bail him out.

We'll sneak him a mic and.

Fair point.

We didn't bail him out the first time.

Yeah, and I mean, we can just sneak him a mic into his cell and, you know, do it from there.

I mean, that's what sending stones are for.

Oh, geez.

Live from the dungeon under the ca.

This is Chad one and done.

Is it?

I thought they had moved it to like in somewhere kind of off at the end of the village.

I. I don't recall.

They've done so much rearranging here.

It's.

I don't know, man.

I've never been in.

I'm a good noodle.

I haven't been in, but I have been transported by his crazy ass to some weird places and I still don't appreciate that.

Dante.

God damn it.

That's too damn bad.

No, no teleporting without asking.

At least us, everybody else, you're more than welcome to send them to the craziest places because again, maybe we'll have a.

We'll find a way to do a DND version of Frogger for the next competition.

They have to dodge horse drawn carriages.

Yeah.

How about.

I don't know how we would implement that.

So we have logs creating lanes, and in those lanes we could have like ox running through one, horse drawn carriages running through the other, a.

A knight on horseback going through the other, and they gotta like, just hop across each one and dodge each obstacle.

Okay, okay, I hear what you're putting down, but what about this?

A horse on night back.

That would be epic.

So.

Yeah, and the horse has to have a jousting pole attached.

I don't know how we do that.

The horse has to complete at least two years of jousting college.

Yes.

Or you can tape it to its head and call it the world's longest horned unicorn.

Okay, okay.

I like where you're going.

This is getting creative.

We'll.

We'll brainstorm this a little bit further down the line.

Right, But.

So with the Sovereign eight being complete, now we have the start of planning for season five.

So again, if any of you out there have any people that you think would be good fits, go ahead, hop on to chat oneandone.com send some messages in there, let us know.

Hey, we got some people.

We do have a scheduling thing there, which we haven't gotten a chance to mess with.

So season five might be the test for that one.

But again, we.

We'd love to have you all out.

And.

Who knows, maybe if you guys have some epic ideas for the next contest or the next tournament, or who knows what the fuck we're gonna call it this time, but make it known because you never know.

Maybe we'll use your ideas and maybe if we do something like that where we have some listeners give an epic enough idea, we can actually have them on as like a co host for the tournaments.

I said we put him in the first round against the champion.

So I think an epic one would be whoever wins the next tournament doesn't actually win because once they hit the finale and become the quote unquote champion, they have to then take on the reigning champion.

See, what I was going to do originally was I was just going to add them without telling anybody.

So just be a three person battle.

I thought that'd be hilarious.

So you're saying we're going to have a three way on chat one and done.

Hey man, it's always a three way.

You, me and Dante, buddy.

You know what, you have a fair point there.

But I, I do a threesome.

Oh no, that's gonna end up becoming a sticker, isn't it?

I hope not.

I really, really hope it doesn't become something.

I mean, just saying, we already have only slimes as a thing now, so just saying, guys, look out for that.

You might be able to purchase some only slime stickers.

I thought you're saying keep an eye out for a threesome.

I was like, that's not happening, man.

Stop.

Oh no, no, no.

Hell no.

I, I love you guys, but not in that way.

I'm telling Dante.

How dare you, you son of a.

Honestly though, I mean, he did try and take over the studio and kick us out, so I, I do think we have some payback coming his way.

I don't know.

I'll give him a pass on that because it was fun to be on the interviewee side of it.

I do, I don't ever really get to be on the opposite side of that.

So it was just kind of fun to be the interviewee instead of the interviewer.

So I'll give them.

Great, I'll give him a leniency on that.

Yeah, I, I think that was actually the only time we got interviewed.

No, I think you had gotten interviewed one time before in the first season.

Did I?

I believe you did.

Listeners go back and let us know if that's the case.

Yeah, let us know in the, the comments, the discord, the.

The somewhere if I was interviewed because I really don't remember.

But again, season one was quite some time ago now.

Oh my God, dude, we're going on Season five.

That's.

That feels crazy.

That's like when your friend has a kid and you don't see him for a while and then you come back and the kids just running around talking and you're like, what?

Just a little.

You're just a little baby.

Last time I saw you.

Yeah, last time it was like toddler status.

And then you come back and they're like five.

Yeah, yeah.

No, it's.

It's gone by quick.

But it's all been a hell of a lot of fun.

I mean, we've had some memorable moments.

We've had.

Awesome friends become friends.

I think we might have to possibly do something where, you know, for subscribers or something.

I don't know, we'll figure out a way to start a membership or something.

But only slimes Premium.

Yes, that actually, that's what we should call it.

If you join our only slimes, you can get the behind the scenes footage where we're just half the time talking for like an hour before we actually start recording.

That's honestly let him into a live.

Kind of just like a little live green room where they can just listen to the before an episode and then listen to us actually record an episode.

Yeah, yeah, that actually be.

I think that would be possible on here.

I'll have to look into that because I believe there is a way.

75.

The first five people sent me 75.

I'll let you host.

Right?

That's crazy.

That would be interesting.

I'm just kidding.

I don't know how that would go.

Well, bud, I think that's pretty much all we have for this episode of randomness.

Bonus episode.

Last episode of the season.

I don't know what we're calling this.

It's.

It would technically be the season finale slash, not finale.

We were gonna try and bring Andre on for the last episode, but he is currently traveling, so we were.

He'll be the first episode of season five.

Yeah.

So we weren't quite able to do what we wanted to for this one.

And again, we're not gonna try and, you know, force him.

Oh, hey, you're the champion.

So we need you to be here.

Vacation your travels.

He knew what it meant to be champion.

We went over it.

All right, so let me scorpion him get over here.

But no, we, we understand.

We.

We do understand.

Everybody has, you know, that they got to do and stuff going on.

So although we wanted to have a rundown with Andre, we will have that as part of the next episode or part of the first episode of season five.

Just be aware there is a good chunk of stuff going on here, there and in between.

So we are going to take a little bit of a break between here and next season.

We are going to post a few interim episodes.

I feel like we earned a little break.

This has been hectic.

We were planning this since what, like February and we got everything like started in motion in what, April?

Something like that, I think.

Yeah, it's been a lot of running around trying to get these episodes recorded.

Running around, trying to get everybody to agree on what times.

So I think it's.

We're taking a nice little well deserved break in between.

Yeah, I mean we'll.

We'll still be posting stuff in between, but it's not gonna be as regular.

Like I said, we.

We will be taking a break.

Should we tell him what we have planned?

I.

Since it's.

Yeah, I will let you give on that.

I will say I know these guys for whatever reason think I need more of a break than I do.

I don't know, man.

You're having a full kid.

Well, I would hope I'm not having a half kid or a quarter kid.

I would.

I would definitely hope she's a full kid.

Quarter child, quarter centaur.

That would be intense.

But yeah, we're gonna be taking a little break.

We've been going at it pretty consistently trying to get this season out.

We need a little bit of time to plan the next season, but plus we need a little bit of a break in between.

But like CJ said, we're still gonna have episodes coming out, like mini episodes and stuff.

But what we do have planned for you.

A bunch of little naughty people.

I don't know.

That was weird.

No, that was weird.

I don't know where that came from.

Let's roll with it.

It all our tavern regular naughty people.

You naughty, naughty tavern patrons.

It.

We'll do it live.

What we're gonna be doing is I'm gonna be running a one shot for C.J.

And Dante and hopefully we can get some of our special guests on to help us run this one shot, which I had a little sticky note here that I had information written down on.

I'll try.

I tried to do the Mac method where I had a sticky note on my wall.

Oh, there you go.

But I do not know.

I do not know where my sticky note went.

And I'm very concerned because I had a lot of key plot hooks on it.

Plus the name of the one shot.

So is that.

Well, I guess the one shot was.

Called Bad Moon Rising.

That's what it was.

Well, I guess it must not have been Sticky Ricky, which is Slippery Rick's cousin.

It must have actually been Slippery Rick if your sticky note fell off a goddamn wall.

Yeah.

Which I really have to find a sticky note because I spent the last like two days writing plot hooks on there and I have no clue where it's at.

And I don't remember a lot of what I wrote down.

Oh, no.

I'll just say Dorate it.

Yeah.

So keep checking in on us.

We're gonna take a little bit of break, but we still will have content coming out.

Keep an eye out for the bad moon rising.

One shot.

Yes.

It will be epic and it will be fun.

And depending, it might end up being a two parter.

Buddy, I'm assuming this is going to be a three parter.

You know how my.

You know how my one shots run.

Fast and in a hurry.

Nope.

Go long and slow.

Ah.

Like.

Yeah, I'll be nice.

I won't say it.

All right, guys.

Well, thank you so much to, like I said everybody that helped make this season fantastic and what it was.

First off, thank you to cj, thank you for the editing.

Thank you for helping out with everything and the booking.

Thank you to zero for helping plan some of the bookings and the games.

And then just again, thank you to all of our guests.

I'm going through the whole list real quick.

Ready?

And hold on, hold on.

Because you also got to hit the sponsors right after.

Oh.

Do it all in one breath.

And go.

No, thank you, Kaylee.

Thank you, Lilith.

Thank you, Mac.

Thank you.

Coffee.

Thank you, John.

Thank you, Joe.

Thank you.

Toast and very special thank you to our champion.

Our first ever champion.

Let me put some respect on that.

Andre, you did great.

We'll see you back for.

For Sovereign eight, Season two Electric Boogaloo.

Yes.

And that Shout out to all of our sponsors.

I'm not gonna go over all of them because it's way too much and I feel like we're already going over time.

Thank you guys so much.

We love you and we will see you in season five.

Yeah.

Because we gotta get the out of here and start the remodel.

Because although the tournament was great.

They up our tavern.

Yeah.

We're missing a lot of roof tiles.

Yeah.

Well, I just.

I mean, we have a flying carpet that we haven't been able to figure out how to get down.

And we still have to plan the memorial for Radicus Finch.

Yeah.

So while these guys listen to our chaotic past seasons, let's go get these renovations underway.

All right, cj, let's harmonize our goodbye.

Ready?

Yes.

One, two, three.

Goodbye.

That was terrible, but we'll work on it later, guys.

Later.

The dice are down, the tail is spun Another quest on Chat one and done.
