it's all in the treeeees

Schmidtt: --yeah. Nom: Although, I-they were, like, the coffee shop was nice. It confused me, though. It was-it was-it was a Starbucks. I don't often get Starbucks at all but it was the only one I could find in Germany at the time. Um, I went in and then they did like the normal thing of, 'what was your name,' realized I--only spoke English, so I just said my actual name? And then they-I think they wrote my name in German? And I was like, huh-- Shauna: Oh... Nom: Cause it wasn't my name on the thing, but she said-she pointed at me, and I was like oh, okay, sure. CC: What, was it Nom with an umlaut? Nom: No, it was like--(everyone laughs) it was like, Rufen, or some shit. But like, I don't fucking know. I remember looking at it and being like, what the-what is that, sure. It was good coffee. (everyone laughs) Don't get me wrong, may-- Rusty: (overlapping) You've been assigned a new name-- Nom:--honestly, one of the best coffees I think I've ever had in my life. It said like, "Rufen," and then, like, something? I don't know, it was like, "Rufen," and then like-- Rusty: You've been assigned a new name. Nom: --there was other stuff, I don't remember what it was, I guess I'm Rufen now. Shauna: Congratulations-- Nom: I don't know what Rufen means. I'm looking up what "Rufen" means. Rusty: (through laughter) It'd be really funny if it's an insult. Nom: God, it would be so funny. (typing as he talks) Schmidtt: Or just-- Nom: (typing as he talks) "German to English." Shauna: It says "call." Nom: It was like--(four seconds of silence) Wait, what. Shauna: Did they say "call me." Did they put "call me" on there? (CC begins cackling) Rusty and Schmidtt: Oh... Shauna: Did you fumble some rizz, did you fumble rizz? CC: Wait... Nom: (sounding like his face is in his hands) Oh my fucking god it says "call." Shauna: Oh....Oh my god.... (CC laughs even harder) Schmidtt: Oh my god...(Rusty laughs) Shauna: (loudly) You fumbled rizz?! Schmidtt: (under Rusty's laughter) Oh, Nom, oh, ru-Nom, oh no-- CC: Oh, that's rough buddy, I'm so sorry. Shauna: Oh, buddy... Schmidtt: Did it say "call me?" Rusty: (through laughter) Oh my gosh... Schmidtt: Oh buddy you were getting hit on. (Rusty laughs harder) Nom: (yelling) I don't read German, man! (someone claps excitedly) Schmidtt: I mean, maybe you should've, then you would've known-- Shauna: They were hitting on you... Rusty: That's so funny-- Schmidtt: I-I don't know, I feel like that's an easy process-- Nom: No, but, no, I'm actually stupid, no cause I'm actually stupid, no cause I'm actually stupid, there was a number at the bottom, and I was like, that's weird, and then I just dropped--(agonized wails of everyone shouting "no" and "Nom") Schmidtt: (yelling) You didn't look up the word "rufen"?! Nom: No! Schmidtt: (yelling) You'd know this then! (Rusty laughing hysterically) Shauna: Nom, you're so cooked. Oh, you're cooked. Schmidt: (spluttering) it-you-Google! (everyone sighing) Shauna: He could've been married with a wife and kids by now. Nom: I thought-- Rusty: That's so funny... Nom: I thought she was friendly...(he laughs) Schmidtt: Yeah, she was. Very friendly! Shauna: She was friendly alright. CC: Maybe...maybe the Tomodachi Life character wasn't too off then actually. Nom: Well! Shauna: Yeah. CC: (through laughter) The fumbling Nom. Nom: Man, maybe I am a Golden Retriever. Shit. Shauna: Yeah you are buddy, yeah you are. Nom: Fuck man! CC: How many years ago was this? (three seconds of silence) Nom: I'm ending stream. (everyone laughs, then calms down) Fuc--I'm gonna go get coffee, fuck this shi--(he cuts off as he moves away from mic, Rusty and Shauna laugh) Schmidtt: He's gonna fumble another number, don't worry.

Nom: No, I mean if Katie's character did choose to like, sacrifice herself for my character, my character would've been so pissed. Katie: I was saying this today. Nom: He would've been so pissed. Katie: I felt like it was almost like, also, yeah, it was saving you, the thing of like, "oh my gosh, my sister's sacrificed herself, that means she's dead because I made a really stupid decision." Nom: Yeah. Katie: So, it was also a mixture of that. Cause I-cause like, she knew that you would've never forgiven yourself? Nom: Yeah. Katie: Like, your character would've never-- Nom: (to himself) Oh my god, I have four hundred and eighty-four MS, it's going up, it's going up! 4c: Going off of that, I will say, it is quite sad to think like, instinctively, if I was given that choice, I would've immediately said yes, like, I wouldn't have hesitated, but also, thinking about it story-wise, it probably would've been better if I got that choice to have said no, because that would be my character finally separating myself-- Katie: Yeah. 4c: --from that. And-but like, but like, realistically I would've said yes even if-- Katie: Yeah. 4c: Like. (4c laughs) Even if that. Katie: That's about what I was saying with my character, because it hurt me, as a creator, to have to press no, and it devastated me, so me, literally like, bawling my eyes out, that was like, me as a creator being like, "oh my gosh, I'm too attached to these characters, oh no this is awful," but like, the actual speech bit-- Nom: My friend's gone. (Katie laughs) Oh no. Katie: --Literally. But the actual process of my character thinking that through when I was talking in the dungeon, that was all my character, that was her being like--cause initially she was like, this Creaking King is stupid, I can't believe you would make me go through this again, I'm mad at you, you idiot," Nom: Yeah. Katie: Um, "I'm not going to choose at all," and then there was a moment where she was like, "actually no, I have found so many people that I love, there are so many people that I care for," um, "I know that if this was the other way around Nom would sacrifice himself for me, but. I know that this is also kind of saving Nom in a way, because if I were to go, um, press yes, then that would mean he'd blame himself."
