Like yeah **maybe** he was going to say "shiver and quiver", but "quiver and shift" sounds more the way he speaks (or at least the way he narrates, i don't know him personally) and it's what he said he was trying to say?

I think it also comes from their history of having accidental dirty jokes, but pretty quickly collecting themselves. Matt had faith in his friends and wife to come to their senses quickly. Being deep into pandemic times (November 2020) probably helped a lot :p

[@pptemplar5840]

It's more like it's not like "real D&D" because your shouldn't expect your players OR DM to behave like paid actors at the table when in "real DnD" you're just playing a game, of course it's different, maybe the only exception is with Dungeon Masters you pay for. It's not a knock against critical role, what they're doing is their real dnd, but some people expect way too much because their only experience with the game is watching people who are at least somewhat monetarily incentivised to be as interactive, descriptive and entertaining as possible. And that probably isn't going to be the "real dnd" they get to experience.
