Thumbnail for episode 114. A group photo of Sam, Taliesin, Travis, Robbie Daymond, Matt, Laura, Liam, Marisha, and Ashley. They make a variety of goofy poses, including Marisha laying sideways in front of the group, Robbie in combat stance with one eyebrow raised, Ashley with her face smushed against her hand, Liam perched on a box labeled “matt”, and Matt leaning forward spookily with his hands resting on an invisible cane. They are dressed in mostly black and blue with a white shirt on Sam and some red accents on Marisha. They are placed against a colorful backdrop with splashes of reds, greens, and blues over white.

Sam’s Tankard

A comically-large silver beer stein being lifted by Sam to drink. Pasted on the bottom is the text “CENTAUR OF ATTENTION”. Underneath it is an orange biohazard symbol. A yellow label on the open lid reads “CAUTION”. Sam is wearing a pink T-shirt with an image of Matt sporting a goofy smile on it.

HEY, there might be some SPOILERS under the thing:
