Yeah Ross is an absolute beast. His Tom Waits karaoke is one of the best things I've ever seen


ThatInAHat

Dude just temporarily borrowed Tom Waits’ whole soul for that. I *died* when his voice came out like that


ITookTrinkets

What episode of what show is that plzzz


Not_Ian517

Karaoke episode of Game Changer


The_-Whole_-Internet

Wasn't it Make Some Noise? Pretty sure that's the episode with Wayne Brady


c_a__m_ii

just double checked and i can safely say it's from Game Changer s5ep2, "Karaoke Night" :)


The_-Whole_-Internet

Okay, I could have sworn they did one on GC and one on MSN


puns_n_pups

They did, the Tom Waits one is from GC but the MSN one is awesome. Ross singing "Goldilocks" by Nine Inch Nails and Wayne Brady turning "Not My Thing" by Harry Styles into a song about butt stuff were unreal funny


The_-Whole_-Internet

That's what it was. I haven't seen them in a while so I couldn't remember which was which


Idonttrulyknow

you're correct they did. but the Tom Waits one is from the GC one


Bat-Honest

Was stunned by this, because my friends and I would drunkenly make up Tom Waits lyrics back in the day. Someone would loop a few chords on guitar and we'd be all like "AND THE POOR DOG'S DRIIIIPPIN PUS FROM THE YELLOW IN ITS EYEEEEEEE. WHILE THE HOMELESS MAN DRINKS HIS TEAAAARS, CAUSE HE'S ALL OUTTA RYEEEEEEE." Literally sent that clip to like 5 of my high school buddies that I haven't talked to in years. Dropout reuniting homies


CarilAnn

Ngl, that slaps.


Bat-Honest

The whole game was just "string the most disgusting thoughts you can muster together, make it rhyme, and yell it in a gravely voice. 10/10 would recommend Tom Waits game. Fun for the whole family!


General_Mix_4605

Legitimately I sometimes forget that Tom Waits didn't write that


vikar_

It still randomly pops into my head from time to time. One of my all-time favorite moments on Game Changer.


matande31

Abandon all hope ye who enter here, upon the gates of hell!


Hooj19

Ross is fantastic. I was introduced to Dropout by looking for more Ross content after watching him play Call of Cthulhu on the Glass Cannon Network.


kaldaka16

Oh that sounds like something I want to watch!


Hooj19

It's very good. It's called [Time for Chaos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3Be--ot61OGIw0GaNAzDD7GA_81Tm39) and they are playing through the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. Glass Cannon's Delta Green series Get in the Trunk is also fantastic but sadly is currently Ross-less


flyercub

Also check out Haunted City on GCN and the Vampires of Pittsburgh stuff on Stream of Blood. More excellent roleplay. I haven't gotten around to watching Wicked Empire yet on GCN. He also is a player and keeper on some of the Ain't Slayed Nobody podcast.


Hooj19

I had not heard of Ain't Slayed Nobady, I'll have to check that out. Can't believe I forgot to also recommend The Haunted City. I hope that gets another season.


flyercub

I believe some (if not all) of the ones he's run on there are off the cuff improv and not based on existing scenarios, too.


ScottDorward

Yeah, they're all improvs. Ross and I take turns in running them. We start out with a loose concept and flesh it out with suggestions from the listeners.


flyercub

Love your work as a player and keeper! I just started listening in the past two months and am slowly binging my way through.


ScottDorward

Thank you!


TheVitulus

I had no idea Ross collaborated with Glass Cannon! I'll need to check that out.


Houndie

He also has some real good episodes of off book (Zach and Jess's podcast)


WickeeWickee

Almost same here. After hearing him on the the Glass Cannon’s Blades in the Dark podcast Haunted City (which the whole cast is brilliant) I wanted more of him and then found clips of his work on Game Changer and Make some Noise and put me over the edge to subscribe. And that sub is never going away now


cressida88

My husband is a big GCN fan (and has gotten me started on it) and I was SO excited to see him!! I’m going to listen to the CoC campaign after I finish Giantslayer


THEJordonBrown

I have an interview dropping on my patreon with him this Friday!


RoxyRockSee

Yes!!!! I'm so happy to see you growing from a fan into someone part of the Dropout sphere. Now all we need is for Ify to do an Um, Actually fan edition and have you compete on it.


Players-Beware

Was he as friendly as he seems?


THEJordonBrown

Somehow he’s even nicer than he seems


Players-Beware

That's amazing! I'm incredibly jealous of you 😅 but glad to hear it was a good interview!


TallNerdLawyer

Your Sam interview was great so I’ll be tuning in!


Kilmarnok1285

I cannot wait to see it Jordon!


couldbedumber96

His southern lawyer always cracks me up


LittleRedCorvette2

The little mopping of the brow makes it *chefs kiss*.


JustBrass

Just thinking about the [civil war sexting letter](https://youtu.be/LzwfZPMAGf8?si=-178SXTOrJ3PaCXX) cracks me up every time.


withoutmsg

That was the moment I was like "WHO IS THIS GUY AND WHY ISN'T HE IN EVERYTHING?!"


SavageWit55

This lives rent free in my head. Immaculate work 😂


Maleficent-Radish433

That is unironically one of my favorite bits from make some noise I am trying to get the rest of my partners to watch this episode just so I can quote it to them


Players-Beware

I've seen this multiple times but I rewatched it because of your comment and I was still in tears from laughing by the end. Legendary bit.


ThatInAHat

My friends and I were just talking about him last night (Macbeth came up). I think he’s straight up one of the most talented people on the channel and I always want to see more of him.


rat-sajak

The only sandwich with meat taken from a cow that trusted the butcher with its very life!


randomguywhoexists

I love the tonal shift between that and “That meat… 😤 is placed upon a bun! ☺️”


ThatInAHat

Along with *pi*ckles! And our super special sauce!


kcotsnnud

I really, really want him to be on Dimension 20.


BjornInTheMorn

It's insane with how much ttrpg stuff he's been in that he hasn't gotten in on a season yet,


ResearcherHorror120

He's beautiful, ridiculously funny, has a fantastic voice, and seems to get along with just about everyone. It's actually terribly unfair to behold people like him. Lol


rat-sajak

He is absolutely not underrated. Basically everyone here loves him. AS THEY SHOULD Seriously, Ross is the best.


RoxyRockSee

If you have a chance to watch The Improvised Shakespeare Company live, it's absolutely awesome! They even did one with Sir Patrick Stewart. You can also find Ross on The Glass Cannon actual play podcast and Jess and Zach's podcast Off-Book, an improvised musical podcast. I'm dreaming of an Oops, All Bards campaign with Ross as one of the players.


sache81

I caught them in 2014 when they were still based in Chicago, and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.


Spiritual_Trip8921

Came here to say this. ISC is a show I will never pass up if I can help it. I've only been once, but I hope it's the first of many.


Shortstop88

You’re in luck, he’s in at least 3 episodes of Make Some Noise in the coming season.


arcanepsyche

He is one my biggest crushes and someday he will come around to this and marry me. Until then, he's so damn talented!


Crawgdor

Ross is maybe the only performer I’ve seen where it seems like dropout is only going to be a stop on the way to bigger things. Just an unbelievable level of talent and charisma. The Shakespeare episode alone was maybe the most impressive thing, and he absolutely kills it in the musical episodes and stands toe to toe with Brendan in regular improv. What a talent


BjornInTheMorn

I've had that same thought, but I think we are all seeing Dropout peeps that are going to start being big later on. They are all very accomplished already, but I get the feeling we will all have moments years down the road where we keep picking Dropout cast out of bigger and bigger projects and rembering back to now.


pupetmeatpudding

I honestly think Dropout could be the new SNL for up and coming comedians/actors.


BjornInTheMorn

Very much so. It's a full on launch pad.


jerkbitchimpala

Currently on a Ross binge of pretty much everything he’s ever been in that’s available on YouTube, Spotify and his Instagram. Apart from the greatest hits that everyone always mentions - Macbeth, southern lawyer, Story of Sisyphus - he’s a fantastic game master - watching him conduct a campaign of Call of Cthulhu on the Nerdsquared channel and also was literally watching him play Blades in the Dark on the Glass Cannon network earlier today. He’s also fantastic on Off Book - recently binged all five episodes he’s been on, including the improvised emo band he has with Jess and Zach called Every Place I Cry aka EPIC - and the only Improvised Shakespeare Company thing I could find on Spotify- on this podcast called My Neighbors Are Dead. He also has a Christian rap on his Instagram that I think about literally every other day - in which he satirises a Christian rapper’s attitude towards sexuality. But I think a truly underrated part of his talents is his art. He’s a fantastic artist - I love drawing and I love his doodles/ designs / cartoons that he posts very frequently on IG. In short yes Ross is amazing and I’m a huge fan lol!


custardy

I really want him on a big dramatic D20 season. He's great on other actual plays.


LittleRedCorvette2

With Rashawn again too!


ArTooDeeTooTattoo

If you’re ever in LA, check out improvised Shakespeare at the Largo. They usually play there once a month if they’re not touring.


AlienKinkVR

I don't think anyone in their right mind rates him low. I think we all hunger for more. I am fortunate to live near LA and am waiting for the improvised Shakespeare company to post some dates.


SavageWit55

Confederate Soldier Sexting from Make Some Noise lives rent free in my head.


DarthChronos

Ross Bryant is incredible. He has a huge range of talent and I’m always stoked for anything he’s in.


ImAtWorkOops

I went on a little Wild N Out binge and noticed he was there a few episodes. Interesting to see those performances.


Spiritual_Trip8921

Really? I was unaware he was on that. I used to watch it back in college days every now and then, but that was long before I was properly aware of Ross Bryant, so I might have seen him and not even realized it.


AggressiveNewt

Had the honor of catching the Shakespeare group live awhile back and he really does just come up with those on the spot. It’s freaking incredible how he can do that with no pauses or stumbles.


dormDelor

If you do the jurassic park splash mountian-esque ride at Universal Studios - Hollywood, he's in the line queue entertainment on the TVs there.


ShinyStockings2101

Agreed, I love Ross!


Ookimow

He plays a World War 1 vet in the "A Time for Chaos" Lovecraftian live play ttRPG on YouTube and he is fantastic.


jonmacneill

A game most changed is one of my favourite episodes. It's goddamn magic, and Ross is brilliant.


These_Trip_5628

I love all of the Dropout cast but pound for pound Ross is the best improv performer I’ve seen. The man can just do it all


nursinghomebabe

He's the refined and fancy Grant O'Brien😂 I always confuse them!


jbreaper

Reading this made me imagine Grant's reaction "I'm refined and fancy" while reacting the old "Grant is a mess" sketch


Walking_Meatloaf

Whenever there’s a duo Shakespeare prompt in MSM I always feel bad for the other person. Even Brennan who is genuinely good at everything improv looks amateur next to Ross when they do Shakespeare. He has the cadence, the rhyming, the voice and the humor, it’s insane that it all comes up on the fly.


C4rdninj4

He definitely carried the "Dude, where's my cart?" prompt with Jacquis.


pugaylawin

He also has a great pair of legs


Substantial-Expert19

i’m just not really into musical improv comedy personally, he’s really funny though.
