Welcome back to DMNastics, the gym for dungeon masters to work out their minds.

I'm one of your host, DM Neal, aka Jote Moniac.

And it's me, your other host, DM Celeste, aka C. Witch.

We did it.

We made it around the sun once again, and the arbitrary date of January 1st has passed.

Ha-ha, yes.

And we're back, and we're back on that exact same nonsense that we were on last year,

because this time I have entitled the exercise,

Pay That Man, 20 menthol cools.

Wow, okay.

I don't know what that's a reference to,

but I assume it's a super specific reference.

It's very specific.

Harken back with me to the early days when we thought the banking system was going to crumble because the nine-nines were going to turn into zero-zero.

Yes, yes.

And in those zero-zeroes, there was a movie that released named Pitch Black, starring none other than Vin Diesel.

And in that, the way he changed his eyes was supposedly you get slammed into a max prison,

and then you pay a doctor, 20 menthol cools to shine your eyes. Oh, oh boy. That sounds terrible.

What a future. That it's a terrible future.

Terrible indeed.

Pitch Black, wonderful movie.

Well, shame on them, Vin Diesel.
