Belize trip roleplay

Source excerpt ↗ 45:48–59:14

Led by Ryan

How this one works

Premise
  1. Like the Cranes, me and Brad are going to try to make our way down to Belize together. First, we have to get there. He's in Maryland. I'm in Illinois. We got to get together and get down there. And Ryan is going to referee and tell us whether or not we were successful.
How it works
  1. I'll tell you if you've flied successfully.
  2. You can't ask for proof of the person we've given godlike powers to tell us what happens.
  3. You don't get to say, have you scared them?
Recorded outcome
  1. Uh, you get in the plane to go to Belize and you land. I think you did it. I think you guys arrived.
Recorded activity context

And Ryan is going to referee and tell us whether or not we were successful. Brad, I got to get to you. It's far from Chicago, but I can make the trip to Baltimore. I'm going to road trip over. It's technically doable, but to be fair, Curt,

  • I feel like without coming like straight out and asking the question, I feel like there are trust.
  • Ryan needs to answer.
  • Also, it sounds less like Brad is trying to get the answer to a question and more like he's genuinely trying to...
