Christopher Hooper: six. I need the numbers. Where's the

Tyram: bit.

Luke Neverisky: Thanks,

Justin Hale: Luke.

Christopher Hooper: this way, I think. No.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I said Z was an easy one, but now I'm not too

Tyram: like nonbullshit

Ali Leonard: We

Justin Hale: Listen,

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: sure. C

Justin Hale: that's the whole point of Taxmaster is to loophole the

Christopher Hooper: H 30

Ali Leonard: we none of us what we did were cheating.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: bud.

Christopher Hooper: seconds. Okay. So, my grandmother taught me be able to close

Ali Leonard: There's no there is cheating in taskmaster but it's if it's not

Christopher Hooper: your eyes and type so you would know where because she was

Tyram: attempt.

Ali Leonard: on the prompt then you can do it.

Luke Neverisky: That

Justin Hale: rules.

Christopher Hooper: a secretary in the Navy,

Tyram: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: All the on the

Luke Neverisky: makes sense. Take them literally.

Justin Hale: Yep.

Christopher Hooper: maybe. So, let's see.

Tyram: Well, my keyboard thing was just straight up

Ali Leonard: task best answers are the

Christopher Hooper: No, you're going to rub me so hard.

Tyram: a lie. So, I guess I do have to,

Ali Leonard: ones

Christopher Hooper: What? What are you talking about,

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: A

Tyram: but Oh, actually, no, wait, that's right. I I did I put it all

Luke Neverisky: What?

Christopher Hooper: a your uh classic movement

Tyram: together in like 10 seconds while that static thing was held in front of the

Ali Leonard: that you

Christopher Hooper: controls. Um ASWD or

Tyram: screen. It's a shame you guys didn't see it.

Ali Leonard: did.

Christopher Hooper: Taylor? Yeah. ASWAD if you're cool enough to know that acronym. Yeah. That's the only reason why it's not going in the Guinness Book of World Record. People look at me funny when I say that, but I swear I'm not the only one that came

Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. I don't have the visual evidence. It's really a tragedy.

Justin Hale: Yep.

Christopher Hooper: up with that.

Tyram: Like I said, this was like in real life. I only did that for like five seconds and she

Christopher Hooper: I

Tyram: just keeps looping it

Christopher Hooper: just I love that it's I'm going with the ones I know. A goes

Ali Leonard: So

Christopher Hooper: like interplaced edited in between scenes. It's so here. S goes here. D goes here. F goes here.

Justin Hale: Dude, screen

Christopher Hooper: Uh Z is

Justin Hale: sharing completely screwed up. I have to restart here.

Christopher Hooper: good.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. You should ask Taylor to help you with

Christopher Hooper: here. Do you know what H looks like?

Tyram: in. It's hard to explain over video.

Christopher Hooper: What is

Luke Neverisky: that.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: I do. Y Oh that? What was no, this is wrong. Oh no, this is wrong. X is in there some. No. Where does X go? I don't 10 seconds. Okay, we

Justin Hale: I don't remember. I've slept like

Ali Leonard: Wonder if mine was

Christopher Hooper: that? got to commit. Is it alt next to it? Yeah,

Justin Hale: four times.

Ali Leonard: upside

Christopher Hooper: because Windows is Windows or Mac is watching this next to it. Like, who made this made me want to do this challenge. I'm keyboard? I could probably Google

Ali Leonard: down.

Ellis Taylor: Now, I didn't have a spare keyboard and I was worried about taking my work one apart because I have

Christopher Hooper: it. I'm going to be

Ali Leonard: I was

Christopher Hooper: like, yeah,

Ellis Taylor: no idea how they go back together. I was like, "What if I take these off? I can't get

Christopher Hooper: last. I'm fine with that. Lucas and I are having a great

Ali Leonard: I was so surprised that that just popped off. I

Christopher Hooper: exactly.

Ellis Taylor: them back

Christopher Hooper: time. J, 15 seconds.

Ali Leonard: was I think the last keyboard I took like all the little pieces in

Christopher Hooper: Exactly.

Ellis Taylor: on.

Christopher Hooper: No. Chill out.

Ali Leonard: between the like and I was like, "Oh, this is going to be

Christopher Hooper: Ow. All

Tyram: I had

Ali Leonard: freaking

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I thought I was going to have to get like one of

Tyram: accidentally moved keys before, so I know that they're not that hard to

Christopher Hooper: right. Props to those that can get more than half of

Tyram: put back

Christopher Hooper: those. I thought it was going to have to be

Ali Leonard: awful.

Christopher Hooper: like one of the I was going to have to use one of those like this. I'm good at

Tyram: on.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Popper

Christopher Hooper: keyboard key like tool thingies to take it on and

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: numbers, despite what my math teacher said growing

Ali Leonard: things. Yeah. This was

Christopher Hooper: off. Yeah. and was like, I don't know where that up. All right,

Ali Leonard: surprisingly like a Lego just like pop like

Christopher Hooper: time. Well,

Ali Leonard: that was

Christopher Hooper: is. that's embarrassing. Hey, Google. That sweatshirt is so cool. I love you got a little little

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: You beautiful angel. Stop the

Ali Leonard: lucky. Duke's the only one that does

Christopher Hooper: kangaroo timer. Two.

Ali Leonard: it.

Christopher Hooper: pouch. I wish I had one for Francis like One. I got that one in. Okay, I've

Ali Leonard: Indy used to do it sometimes

Christopher Hooper: that.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: stopped the timer. Thank you, queen. You're amazing.

Ali Leonard: when she was in the

Ellis Taylor: He's a

Christopher Hooper: 38 39 40 41 42. Maybe. That's assuming

Ali Leonard: mood. She like I allow you to hold

Christopher Hooper: this is in the right place. I think everything else is in the right place. Oh, that's true. So, that I could have probably gone with more urgency, but um No, it's kind of not

Tyram: Sometimes when I'm looking away, I don't know if Alli's talking right now

Ali Leonard: me. It's not my

Christopher Hooper: my

Tyram: or if it's Ally on the video

Ali Leonard: vibe.

Tyram: talking.

Christopher Hooper: Yes.

Ellis Taylor: queen. The quality is just amazing.

Christopher Hooper: So vibe. Okay, got it back together. Okay, cool. I think that's a new record time.

Ali Leonard: so

Christopher Hooper: good. Um, I think that was about uh 10 seconds total

Ali Leonard: fast. That's

Christopher Hooper: disassemble assembly. I guess I'm just that good. Next

Ali Leonard: amazing.

Christopher Hooper: challenge. Great progress as you can see. Got about halfway there for sure. Definitely not 10% of the way

Justin Hale: Uhhuh.

Christopher Hooper: there.

Justin Hale: It isn't. Yeah. No, but no, not that good. Apple Arcade

Christopher Hooper: I can't believe you gave that 100

Ellis Taylor: I

Tyram: I was pleasantly

Christopher Hooper: to

Ellis Taylor: know.

Tyram: surprised. I love all the little spots with the kids doing all the like intros and

Christopher Hooper: Okay, here we

Justin Hale: only. All

Luke Neverisky: Yes.

Christopher Hooper: are for challenge number two. Uh, this time I'm supposed to throw a uh tea bag into a coffee mug. All right, task two. Throw a tea bag into a mug from the furthest

Tyram: outros.

Christopher Hooper: Hello. This one was way harder than I thought it would distance. You have 5 minutes to prepare the setup and 5 minutes to throw as many be. Way, way, way harder.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. I loved

Christopher Hooper: tea bags as you like. Where's your tea bag? You must use a tape measure

Tyram: That was a smart

Ellis Taylor: the wedding. That was a great idea. And multiple

Christopher Hooper: and prove your distance. No, there's a cat. I'm not

Tyram: move. I do think this is the one I did the most legit. Like

Christopher Hooper: multiple mugs is

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I

Ellis Taylor: mugs. Feel like if I done multiple

Christopher Hooper: just touch. Throw a

Justin Hale: right.

Tyram: I did throw tea bags and it was into a coffee

Christopher Hooper: very Yeah, I think that's

Ellis Taylor: mugs.

Christopher Hooper: teabag into a mug from the farthest

Tyram: mug. It's the most legit of the three I did at

Christopher Hooper: legit. I thought that was

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I was I

Christopher Hooper: distance. You have five minutes to prepare your setup and then five minutes to throw as many

Luke Neverisky: don't

Ellis Taylor: was Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: teaags as you like. You must use a tape measure to prove your distance. Your time starts

Justin Hale: Me and my sister tried it

Tyram: least.

Christopher Hooper: smart.

Ellis Taylor: Oh my

Christopher Hooper: now.

Justin Hale: and we didn't even hit one end.

Christopher Hooper: Really? You got us. I realized very late on I needed Throw a teabag

Justin Hale: Yeah. Not even

Christopher Hooper: to start with one inch and go from further into the brother away. Get one in station and five minutes

Justin Hale: one.

Tyram: That must have been like a humbling thing for you to have to move closer

Christopher Hooper: to throw as many tea bags as you like. Toper's

Tyram: than where you

Christopher Hooper: first. Oh, I mean I want I

Ellis Taylor: goodness.

Christopher Hooper: voice haunts my dream. You

Tyram: started.

Christopher Hooper: go at the furthest point of my living room must use the measuring tape. Measure to prove your and I was like, "Oh, this is going to be awesome. Like it'll be hard, but I'll eventually get distance. Return now. Oh,

Tyram: If you

Christopher Hooper: it." And I just was getting tea bags all over my wait. 5 minutes to

Tyram: had tea bags at least pro strat, you probably could have gotten at least one

Christopher Hooper: prove. Cool. So, I did a video and walls. Maybe I was not getting very managed to not record any of it. I'll just do it again. But

Tyram: in. I was trying to be

Christopher Hooper: for in case I do poorly this time, my previous record was 10 foot

Tyram: nice.

Christopher Hooper: close. I think the backboard is 1 in.

Tyram: I thought Justin had a smart idea like getting the

Christopher Hooper: really smart with Alli's

Ellis Taylor: multiple. I think if

Tyram: gravity assist

Ellis Taylor: you done multiple mugs and then like a handful of tea

Christopher Hooper: So, didn't say it has to be the window. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: bags at the same time would have been instead of one at a

Christopher Hooper: same. Oh dear.

Justin Hale: That's the right

Christopher Hooper: Honestly, if I'm kind of just going to hedge my bets. So, the biggest mugs I've got is we combine everyone's ideas, box

Ellis Taylor: time.

Christopher Hooper: Tina. None of you have watched Bumsburg, so that's not relevant to

Tyram: here.

Christopher Hooper: of tea bags, multiple mugs,

Luke Neverisky: You f******

Christopher Hooper: you. Treat

Justin Hale: there.

Christopher Hooper: backboard, height,

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Justin Hale: cat.

Christopher Hooper: wet, and whatever I

Ellis Taylor: wet.

Christopher Hooper: yourself. I love it. Got my

Tyram: I think you were just doing it like the most straightforward way possible. So like you didn't

Christopher Hooper: did.

Luke Neverisky: go.

Ellis Taylor: Start

Christopher Hooper: mug. You can see the evidence. I got my mug, my

Tyram: really honestly didn't contribute much to the brain trust

Christopher Hooper: timer, and all my tea bags. biggest mug.

Tyram: here.

Christopher Hooper: That was the biggest mug I Yeah, pretty good. I found the first coffee had. So, is that a

Ellis Taylor: closing. Did you go out and buy

Christopher Hooper: mug I could lay my eyes on. So, okay, I'll get this set up

Justin Hale: Okay.

Tyram: It's a flower pot, but it is

Christopher Hooper: pot with a

Ellis Taylor: that?

Christopher Hooper: right here. And uh hey, here this this has tea bags in it, so that

Tyram: technically also a coffee

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Did it have a handle on it counts. There is a

Tyram: mug. It has a handle. It's You could straight You could use it as a coffee

Christopher Hooper: or did you like Oh my god, that's combination of smells. It smells

Tyram: mug if you really wanted

Christopher Hooper: hilarious. I thought you took like a cooking

Luke Neverisky: Nice.

Christopher Hooper: like winter time

Tyram: to.

Christopher Hooper: pot and just like put a cardboard handle on it or on the roof. You just drop it down. That would be

Tyram: No, it's a it's a flower pot that's meant to look like a coffee mug and

Christopher Hooper: something. Oh, is this the housemaster? far. Thank you, Oliver and Thea. Hey,

Tyram: therefore technically is a coffee

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, they can hear you.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Google. Sorry for five minutes. I can't be Okay. So, okay. So when when I was out of trusted. Time effect. Her talking to Google is my favorite town is when Toeer was doing thing. Really? What is going to be the trick this. But so I just was on our shared photos and saw that here? All right, that is going to be a

Tyram: mug.

Christopher Hooper: Toeer had done this at in the middle of the night 11 p.m. very strong lemon and ginger lemon and ginger no context and are you okay? I water. But I figure if I put more out, like texted me like are you like are you having like a psychotic break? I should hit something, Why are you doing

Ellis Taylor: That's why you were so

Christopher Hooper: right? I wish I were good at arm supports. this? Freak me That would be easy. Watch me get the first one.

Justin Hale: That's when That's when you find out people need to be on

Christopher Hooper: out.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, you guys

Ellis Taylor: quiet. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: That'd be smart. I can probably throw farther than Yeah,

Luke Neverisky: don't

Christopher Hooper: that. I found a mug. You were hiding from me. It's a big one,

Justin Hale: saticals.

Christopher Hooper: too. I wasn't hiding. Wet mama. bees. Oh,

Luke Neverisky: see

Christopher Hooper: genius. There's a couple of things that they do in here that I was like smart. So smart. We're getting to the end. I'm

Tyram: really squandered a lot of your time there measuring before you got it

Christopher Hooper: almost at 25 ft. Why is that one big ball? I don't hate that. Like

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: it's a teabag ball. Okay, go.

Justin Hale: Ellie, did you stay in your blinds with

Tyram: in.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, recording is still going. Set it to five

Ellis Taylor: You did waste a lot of

[00:10:00]

Christopher Hooper: minutes. Justin. All right, let's get tossing. Wondering. So,

Justin Hale: T

Christopher Hooper: this is my attempt. I'm wondering if I should have taken off the

Justin Hale: He was

Ellis Taylor: time. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: tail. We're going to find out. Let's go. I'll just try and repeat my

Tyram: Confidence is the kind way of saying

Christopher Hooper: marks before. Nope. Ha.

Justin Hale: confident.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, that's our

Christopher Hooper: Okay, let's go back to my other mark. All right, so let's go over

Justin Hale: Also, I like your

Tyram: arrogant

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, it's

Ellis Taylor: heads. Whenever we ask him to like five more minutes, he goes and like twists it and does it. Yeah.

Justin Hale: timer. That's cool. That's very cute.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: here. Come on. I'm going to run out of te. We're just going to kind of test see how

Justin Hale: That's like the worst perspective of

Christopher Hooper: far that's going to do it.

Justin Hale: our our back deck, too, because it's like the panel that's falling

Christopher Hooper: That wasn't bad

Justin Hale: apart

Christopher Hooper: though. That wasn't bad

Justin Hale: and all the

Christopher Hooper: though. My chalk. I was using chalk to mark where it was so I

Justin Hale: things.

Christopher Hooper: wouldn't forget. Nope. Ah. Oh lord. She's going to explode everywhere out of this I one. love Okay.

Ellis Taylor: It was really funny how hard it was for you to get it in there,

Christopher Hooper: Okay, so let's try this

Tyram: pretty far

Christopher Hooper: you. again. Oh my god, don't eat those. That's

Justin Hale: I love that the first throw bounced off. That was

Ellis Taylor: Taylor.

Christopher Hooper: tea. Lyn, I've lost my

Justin Hale: the best. That was just pure

Tyram: away. Sorry, what was

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: cat and my water bottle.

Justin Hale: comedy.

Tyram: pure comedy?

Christopher Hooper: Jesus. Oh

Justin Hale: when the fir your first throw it hit the top of that

Christopher Hooper: no.

Justin Hale: that piece of wood and bounced farther away. It's so

Tyram: Yeah, I was trying to use the tree stub as a backboard. I figured it was better than nothing, but it really didn't help at all.

Christopher Hooper: This one might actually take five minutes. Damn

Tyram: No, I had been a little less lazy about it. I could have probably tried

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. How long did this take,

Tyram: to like wedge like a like a like a like a

Christopher Hooper: it. Hey.

Justin Hale: good. The whole time

Tyram: folded box or something behind the coffee cup so I did have a

Christopher Hooper: Justin? Yeah. Okay. Oh. Oh, you still Yeah. Or like a backboard with a see the back of her

Tyram: back.

Christopher Hooper: house almost looks like the Taskmaster house, right? That's

Tyram: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: What does the taskmaster house look like? I never looked it

Tyram: I think

Christopher Hooper: funnel.

Tyram: they said like

Ellis Taylor: up. I know. I'm looking it

Christopher Hooper: crazy. This is hard. This is

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: up. Oh, interesting. That's

Christopher Hooper: very

Justin Hale: You want to show them? No.

Christopher Hooper: A nice looking

Ellis Taylor: cute. Got cute little

Christopher Hooper: hard. I'm house.

Ellis Taylor: arches and circles. brick

Christopher Hooper: finding where I should have put the

Tyram: yours.

Ellis Taylor: detailing.

Christopher Hooper: mugs. Okay. So, it's hitting the blinds. I was hoping it would hit Hi. the window and then kind of fall in. I'm seeing I flaw

Tyram: I'm just

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Hi

Christopher Hooper: my design.

Tyram: glad Duke's in the

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, honestly. And he didn't try like

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it's hitting the blinds. It's hitting the blinds for sure. Um

Luke Neverisky: swatted the bags or

Christopher Hooper: Back to my last

Ali Leonard: I was expecting one him to just go up and like smack him

Christopher Hooper: record. No, that was

Luke Neverisky: something. Intercepts.

Tyram: shot.

Christopher Hooper: Are you Ellis is like winding her bags each bad. Dang

Justin Hale: Oh,

Christopher Hooper: time. That's

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. But like eventually I just rip the

Christopher Hooper: it. It's less windy this time. Maybe I'll be able to do a little

Ali Leonard: down.

Christopher Hooper: what I ended up doing because mine were getting like intertangled together

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: little string

Christopher Hooper: bit better. Dang

Justin Hale: another

Christopher Hooper: during my five

Ellis Taylor: off.

Christopher Hooper: it. minutes. I appreciate Christina at least

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: got my like best throws in the

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: It's going

Tyram: I was thinking like that probably was his best shot, but I

Christopher Hooper: terrible. Okay, calm down though. Calm

Tyram: didn't want to say anything.

Christopher Hooper: edit. Yep. Yep. That was that was it. That's when I down. Don't look at that. Don't look at knew I was in trouble cuz I was like that was my best from like 10 that. You would think that throws. The only one they got on the this would be

Justin Hale: Can you get that book?

Christopher Hooper: easier. I'm feeling like I'm going to see some techniques.

Ellis Taylor: I like how Alli's like hating on her technique, but she

Christopher Hooper: Come on. I'm a pro at this

Ali Leonard: I mean, that's the way Taskmaster

Christopher Hooper: table. The

Ellis Taylor: wins.

Christopher Hooper: now. Like

Tyram: Wow.

Justin Hale: Ally, did you stay in your blinds with

Ali Leonard: goes. No, thank goodness.

Christopher Hooper: Mine was lemon

Luke Neverisky: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: guy. You know the basketball guy with with with the basketballs with

Ali Leonard: days.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Hold

Christopher Hooper: the baskets and the hoops. Oh, that

Ali Leonard: Probably not.

Ellis Taylor: on.

Christopher Hooper: guy. He is exploding out of these things. That

Ali Leonard: Maybe. I did just realize we've had an

Christopher Hooper: one's

Ali Leonard: ant infestation right near where I threw the tea

Tyram: Probably

Ali Leonard: bags, but I don't think it has anything to do

Justin Hale: long

Tyram: a coincidence. Have you guys been getting a lot of rain this

Christopher Hooper: maybe. Yeah, probably.

Luke Neverisky: has been

Christopher Hooper: done. I should just do like a just to kind of get it

Christopher Hooper: problems. in.

Ali Leonard: cup. It's a better

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it's a better vantage

Ali Leonard: What do you

Christopher Hooper: again.

Tyram: shenanigans.

Ali Leonard: mean shenanigans? I follow the rules to a

Christopher Hooper: I got one proof.

Tyram: My bad.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, I did it. It went in the

Justin Hale: watch Taskmaster, you need it is arguably the

Tyram: Well, apparently I just naturally know what they expect because I cheated the hell out of all of

Christopher Hooper: Tina. You're going to have to replay in slow-mo

Ali Leonard: sir. As long as it's not in the rules.

Christopher Hooper: Man, not having a like rule. Man, that that's awesome. That was Stop the timer. I'm not getting better than that. I like this strategy. It's working pretty well for

Justin Hale: had thought about it earlier before the device, I was going to run my air

Ellis Taylor: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: god, this is so

Justin Hale: compressor against the bike to get it going super

Tyram: This is

Christopher Hooper: yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Taylor, this is when I got mad at you. The

Christopher Hooper: smart. Well, I have a drill. The drill

Justin Hale: fast.

Tyram: clean. They didn't say any. It's not a human being and it was spinning. What do you want

Ellis Taylor: microwave.

Christopher Hooper: will spin. Where's the

Tyram: from

Christopher Hooper: drrele? That'll spin for a long time.

Justin Hale: Yeah. Alli and Taylor both have like

Tyram: me?

Ali Leonard: If that

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Keith, do you can you think of where the drrele is? You have that metal

Justin Hale: unlimited time for their support because of their confidence,

Ali Leonard: makes you angry. Don't watch

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, nice one. I think I know where the wooden one is, but you have that fancy metal

Justin Hale: right?

Christopher Hooper: drrele. I was thinking a drrele method of like a rope or one. Yeah. I thought you had like a really fancy metal one. I hate string, but I couldn't find anything like

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. I I have one of those at my parents from when I was

Christopher Hooper: battery. f***. The only thing I know how to that. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: a kid and it would like go. But

Christopher Hooper: spin the longest. You're going to bring it up here. Yeah.

Tyram: If I had been willing to stand there and

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Of course, need to get ready for it. So, I figure I got my object. I got 10

Tyram: film it longer, I might have uh beaten Luke at

Christopher Hooper: minutes. Um, do some prep

Tyram: least. But

Ali Leonard: Taskmaster. You didn't walk away and watch Top

Ellis Taylor: yeah, I love it. You

Christopher Hooper: here. Brought along some things to get ready. Uh, let me go ahead and get this set

Ali Leonard: Chef like I

Ellis Taylor: I love that you only thought 10 three minutes was going to be

Christopher Hooper: up.

Tyram: yeah, I didn't think anyone else was going to

Christopher Hooper: my dice. I don't know if

Tyram: cheat.

Ali Leonard: did. I am going to die on this

Christopher Hooper: my weighted milk dice will Yeah. uh I'm really

Tyram: I thought for sure to was just going to turn on the weed

Christopher Hooper: I

Luke Neverisky: That's what

Ellis Taylor: plenty. Same here. Can

Christopher Hooper: quite cheesed with my rope idea, though. All right,

Ali Leonard: hill. It's not

Christopher Hooper: thought that's cheating. I didn't want to

Luke Neverisky: I thought.

Ellis Taylor: you Can you

Christopher Hooper: so we got this

Ali Leonard: cheating.

Christopher Hooper: cheat. Yeah. And I

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh.

Christopher Hooper: thing. Um, so a cat's not a person.

Justin Hale: was just way too excited about his stool.

Tyram: whacker. You know, I will say I think Ter had

Christopher Hooper: wanted to spin in my I swear I have other hobbies. Um, I'll look for the

Tyram: the most fun while filming this challenge.

Christopher Hooper: stool. I drrele first. I got 10 minutes. Man, I wish I was

Justin Hale: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: did. at my parents. They have like an actual like top with a rope You're talking just talking goes for f****** forever. I wonder if it's cheating if I'm

Tyram: I found standing there filming and I felt

Christopher Hooper: on if I'm on it. Just turning as long as I

Tyram: compelled to talk while I was filming. I found that excruciating. So I definitely

Christopher Hooper: can till I get dizzy. That'll

Justin Hale: true.

Christopher Hooper: about You did it. You filled the filled the work. That is That is one interpretation of what I just read, I think. What did it say? Does mechanical spinning count? No, that's probably That

Ali Leonard: Not

Christopher Hooper: air. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: sounds like cheating. I have a steam

Ali Leonard: cheating. Not

Christopher Hooper: powered spinny doohickey thing. That's more for

Ali Leonard: cheating.

Christopher Hooper: I love this,

Tyram: found I think I made a

Christopher Hooper: Luke. The working

Luke Neverisky: Oh, thanks. Got to get him

Christopher Hooper: fun. You

Tyram: and

Christopher Hooper: out. I do

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: know, it's all about the finesse and

Justin Hale: Yeah. Yes.

Tyram: it makes a good

Christopher Hooper: worry about you, Luke. You know that you overextended strength. What if I

Tyram: video. It is probably true that it actually probably made it

Luke Neverisky: ready. You

Christopher Hooper: like called someone and like spilled some tea like

Tyram: worse instead of better, but

Christopher Hooper: yourself. to my sister make her head spin that? But how do you prove

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Tyram: it made for a better video for you to do the the

Christopher Hooper: that? Probably wouldn't even be wowed by any of

Justin Hale: Could you imagine if

Tyram: reflex.

Christopher Hooper: my tea. Do I have anything else clever to

Justin Hale: he had trained for this? That thing would still be spinning

Luke Neverisky: know, I did really think about having a more like complex montage of

Christopher Hooper: do? It's the longest. So it's

Luke Neverisky: me like doing like finger push-ups or something or like trying to pull up

Christopher Hooper: um you know it's Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: finger, but Yeah. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: We had like a teeny tiny like bench

Christopher Hooper: uh could do anything here.

Tyram: Or you get some of those like finger skateboards, but they're like, "Wait,

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: press. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: You're not going to do it. You're not going to make it through a wheelie,

Justin Hale: into

Christopher Hooper: I also love

Luke Neverisky: Yes.

Christopher Hooper: are

Tyram: that's

Christopher Hooper: that Justin got a bike with a motor. Like it's an ebike, you? What is a circle? Really? Yeah. f***. I don't think the drrele's in

Justin Hale: Yeah. So I said that I was like I could turn it on and

Christopher Hooper: right? here. Yeah, let's just go get a heavy

Justin Hale: Christina was like no that's cheating. I was like

Tyram: Oh man, she sabotaged you hard.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, it is

Christopher Hooper: coin. I only Well, I only get one spin, so I could

Justin Hale: okay. So

Tyram: Wow.

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: spend a while looking. How much time do I got? 8

Justin Hale: she said because I had to hold the throttle down. If I would have had

Ellis Taylor: cheating.

Christopher Hooper: minutes. Let's

Justin Hale: something to hold the throttle down for me then it would

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I thought about doing that for my drill or weed whacker, but I was like,

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: see. Here we I don't want to just run my battery out for this go. Watch out. Make

Tyram: I was actually somewhat

Christopher Hooper: something spin for the longest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Tyram: concerned about like adding to the electricity bill with the

Christopher Hooper: challenge. Yeah. I don't think so. I think that's the best. Just spin in a little chair. Let's do it. That's why I just got this thing so I can spin a bunch of times. But hey,

Tyram: microwave. I have no

Ellis Taylor: Why are you

Christopher Hooper: Justin, you know, happy birthday, man. Um, I'm glad

Tyram: idea.

Ellis Taylor: echoing? You sound

Christopher Hooper: Christina reached out and had us do all these kooky little things. I

Tyram: I don't know why it sounded like

Ali Leonard: Don't look at my dirty

Ellis Taylor: like the voice of

Christopher Hooper: have an

Ali Leonard: kitchen. Stop it. Stop it.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh my god. Look at

Luke Neverisky: Too

Ellis Taylor: God. Yeah. What's going

Christopher Hooper: idea. Look at my kitchen. Supplicate my

Ali Leonard: Stop it. There's a washerd dryer over there

Christopher Hooper: it.

Luke Neverisky: late. So cary.

Ellis Taylor: on back

Christopher Hooper: kitchen. That's my KitchenAid mixer. Is it

Justin Hale: I

Ali Leonard: and that's where my graveyard of like igloos

Christopher Hooper: my prized possession? Yes. The question is,

Tyram: that. I'm just losing respect for you so fast looking

Ali Leonard: and bags.

Christopher Hooper: is I have an idea. the game with.

Tyram: at your kitchen like

Justin Hale: do. Enhance. Let's

Tyram: this.

Ali Leonard: No, that's all my spices. Those are

Ellis Taylor: there?

Justin Hale: zoom in. Let's see what's happening.

Ali Leonard: the spice I use the most. That's MSG and that's salt and pepper. And then those are old potatoes. And then

Luke Neverisky: Sounds weird.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Ali Leonard: on the top is a graveyard of cereals of the refrigerator. And then those are

Christopher Hooper: Wow.

Ali Leonard: clean dishes over there by the Dollywood cup. That light

Christopher Hooper: I got a few of those

Ali Leonard: is for

Christopher Hooper: myself. Alice? Yeah, I've got a few of

Ali Leonard: gnats. I don't need it anymore really.

Justin Hale: 360. So for your video quality is that potato

Ali Leonard: But if you look, my fire extinguisher is

Christopher Hooper: those. Your vio quality is

Ellis Taylor: Uhhuh.

Justin Hale: that

Tyram: Hell

Ali Leonard: up to date. So that's

Luke Neverisky: There you

Justin Hale: Hit the code and look at your your

Ali Leonard: good. Yeah, I use

Christopher Hooper: stupid. You got some Thai rice

Justin Hale: video

Ali Leonard: that for

Christopher Hooper: flour.

Ellis Taylor: Oh

Justin Hale: settings. Now we can now we can judge her her

Ali Leonard: bread.

Christopher Hooper: Got a sack of

Luke Neverisky: go.

Justin Hale: kitchen for

Tyram: yeah.

Ali Leonard: Got some potatoes. Yeah, some little

Christopher Hooper: potatoes ready to be turned into into

Ellis Taylor: no.

Ali Leonard: ones. Got some

Justin Hale: accuracy. Hell yeah.

Ali Leonard: onion powder that isn't real onion powder cuz I cannot eat onions.

Christopher Hooper: match. Nice. All

Ellis Taylor: Did you have to do FOB

Christopher Hooper: kitchen. That's right.

Ellis Taylor: that the Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: my KitchenAid mixer. Is it my prize possession?

Luke Neverisky: Oh,

Ellis Taylor: Keith's sister's the same way. And she's found like infused stuff

Christopher Hooper: Yes. The question is, is this going to spend longer than my dice? You have two

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: like garlic infused is fine because it doesn't get the

Christopher Hooper: minutes. You have two minutes to decide. Spend

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Like the gar like for some reason it's like if just straight

Ellis Taylor: sugar.

Christopher Hooper: longer than the dice. Um, so

Ali Leonard: onion or onion powder, dehydrated onion f****

Luke Neverisky: that's

Christopher Hooper: I'm going to argue. This will

Ali Leonard: me up. But

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. It's the sugar molecule in the

Christopher Hooper: rotate. This will

Ali Leonard: like like I can use garlic if I cook it a certain

Christopher Hooper: spin. Does that make sense, Greg Davies? This will this

Ali Leonard: way and I can eat leaks which are like in the

Ellis Taylor: onions.

Christopher Hooper: is spinning. If you look at that, you're not saying, "Oh, that's rotating." You're saying,

Ali Leonard: same family. I just I don't know. Which is sad cuz I f****** love

Luke Neverisky: Oh yeah,

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: "Oh, that's that's spinning." This is my

Ali Leonard: an onion ring. Hell

Christopher Hooper: steam powered doohickey. This spins, but that feels like

Tyram: I admire your

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: cheating. You know what? I feel pretty confident. I think I need the full 10 minutes. Not to

Tyram: cons your like commitment to integrity because you're

Ali Leonard: yeah. We should have

Christopher Hooper: brag, but I happen to be pretty good at spinning

Tyram: constantly saying like no no that's

Ali Leonard: had you guys watch a We should have had you guys watch

Christopher Hooper: things. You know what?

Justin Hale: Now what? That's not

Tyram: cheating.

Ali Leonard: a full season of Taskmaster before,

Luke Neverisky: right.

Christopher Hooper: I just had a good idea.

Ali Leonard: so you

Christopher Hooper: I'm reminded of that ancient riddle. Could God heat up

Justin Hale: what we should do a season watch party of

Christopher Hooper: a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it? Quite the conundrum. The conundrum.

Ali Leonard: know, there was a crumb in there, so it's

Justin Hale: task.

Ali Leonard: making a clinking

Luke Neverisky: Nothing.

Christopher Hooper: This is my idea. Just going to twirl it. Question is, can I get this twirled up enough? Figured it would twist spin for a really long time. So, Keith, question. Yeah, I need a morality question on the spinning. If I hold my hand here and just keep it from going too fast so it can spin for as long as possible, does that count? I mean, what are the rules? It just says find you have 10 minutes

Ali Leonard: Nice.

Christopher Hooper: to find something to spin. It can't be a person. Only rules.

Ali Leonard: He is the perfect Alex

Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, I'll use this. All right. Here we

Ali Leonard: Thornne. All the information is in the

Christopher Hooper: One of the hardest parts of this go. Ready? was finding a way to like position your phone Yep. camera to look I'm give this thing a shot here. Uh, I got my stopwatch up here,

Tyram: I was just standing there

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: my screen. Oh, man. Trying to do two things at once

Tyram: holding Maya, which is why I didn't want to do that for more than 3

Ali Leonard: task.

Christopher Hooper: here. All right. Okay. And Yeah. Is this how you always

Tyram: minutes.

Christopher Hooper: roll your uh D20, going. Part of me worries that I'm making this go on for too long because I'm

Luke Neverisky: It's when I it's

Christopher Hooper: reasonably certain no one else is going to get something to spin longer than like 30 seconds. And

Justin Hale: Yeah, that's

Christopher Hooper: Luke?

Luke Neverisky: a it's a high stakes ro I

Christopher Hooper: we're already past

Tyram: Sorry, what was the

Ellis Taylor: Our friend Josh showed

Christopher Hooper: that.

Justin Hale: why. I was going

Ali Leonard: You just want to climb.

Ellis Taylor: up.

Justin Hale: to say, who's that guy? Wow, that's one hell of an incline on that wall.

Tyram: question?

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. It goes from like 15 degrees and we can go all the way down to like

Ali Leonard: What the

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Ellis Taylor: 70°. Yeah, it's

Christopher Hooper: Oh no. Oh my

Justin Hale: That's

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: god.

Ali Leonard: heck?

Luke Neverisky: So

Ellis Taylor: adjustable.

Christopher Hooper: Oh

Justin Hale: crazy. Yeah, the the disc break messed me up,

Christopher Hooper: s***. Oh s***. Oh.

Justin Hale: too. made it even

Christopher Hooper: Wow.

Ellis Taylor: Funny if you

Christopher Hooper: Ah, damn it. Whoa.

Ellis Taylor: just eaten

Christopher Hooper: Sorry. Okay. So, she sucks

Justin Hale: slower.

Ellis Taylor: it.

Christopher Hooper: at stopwatches, but I just don't think so. And then

Justin Hale: Oh, the echo is from my reaction. I bet you

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: spin. Oh, that makes sense.

Christopher Hooper: then I need the kitchen off that. I will need my

Justin Hale: you

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. So, that like white PVC pipe behind phone me is my sump pump, and I was really worried I was going to

Ellis Taylor: Oh. Oh.

Christopher Hooper: like carine into eventually. So I didn't come in last because

Justin Hale: slightly

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: it. of toeer. You know what? Just just imagine your favorite song. This is Imagine your favorite song that lasts for 1 minute and 53 seconds and just let that play in your head while this uh while this plate spins

Ali Leonard: What? My baby

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

[00:30:00]

Christopher Hooper: around. I just like I don't know hilarious. Um, I'm ready. Are y'all ready to play or y'all want to finish

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Our friend Josh

Christopher Hooper: why. Yeah. Thought I had hurt my finger doing training, but I think

Ali Leonard: driver.

Christopher Hooper: this?

Ellis Taylor: also points out why we were doing this. It's like, "Well, why don't you just turn the ceiling fan on?" It was on the whole time. I

Christopher Hooper: I

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: It's

Christopher Hooper: It is too. I

Ellis Taylor: was like, "That feels like cheating.

Christopher Hooper: just See, I should have taped down the

Tyram: Apparently, the most creative cheater is

Christopher Hooper: throttle.

Tyram: the one who's supposed to

Ali Leonard: not. It's not

Christopher Hooper: I'm going to fall into my

Tyram: win.

Ali Leonard: cheating.

Christopher Hooper: uh All right. Damn

Justin Hale: If it's not in the test, it's cheating. Then it's not

Ali Leonard: It's Yeah, it's cheating if it's in the

Christopher Hooper: agree. it. Got like a

Ali Leonard: task.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: minute.

Justin Hale: cheating.

Ali Leonard: And if Almighty Greg Davyy says it's shooting, then it's

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Well, Justin, happy birthday. Whatever you're doing. What song did you

Justin Hale: Correct.

Christopher Hooper: pick? Yeah, leave leave leave a send me a message. Let me know which I didn't choose one. Sorry, one you went

Tyram: That's

Christopher Hooper: Taylor. All with. Figure the clouds poster definitely needed to make an

Ali Leonard: shooting.

Christopher Hooper: right. Do y'all want to get into

Ellis Taylor: No, wait. Can we jump to see where

Christopher Hooper: appearance somehow and I'll figure it

Ellis Taylor: the stats are? Cuz I don't actually know. I feel like I might have still beaten

Christopher Hooper: out. Whatever you're doing today, Justin, hope it is a good one. Hope you've been a

Tyram: okay. Probably at the end, I

Christopher Hooper: tonight?

Ellis Taylor: you. Oh, and there's more

Christopher Hooper: great birthday and

Tyram: assume. Oh, there's bloopers. Why there's so much time

Ellis Taylor: bloopers. Yeah. Do you not watch the bloopers?

Christopher Hooper: uh many more to come.

Tyram: left.

Christopher Hooper: How long does she leave the mixer

Justin Hale: Ally talking to her Google is the best

Ali Leonard: I don't talk to a lot of people.

Christopher Hooper: Probably.

Luke Neverisky: Oh

Christopher Hooper: out for? She absolutely pressurized.

Tyram: That might be the saddest thing I've ever heard somebody

Ali Leonard: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh, 30 seconds.

Justin Hale: part.

Christopher Hooper: Gotcha.

Ellis Taylor: Nah. Yeah, I knew I lost. It

Tyram: say. You got

Christopher Hooper: But you tied me

Ellis Taylor: was Oh, but we we tied. There we

Christopher Hooper: on. Can I go put my contacts? No, actually, you need to put your glasses on.

Tyram: further. If I'd only kept it going for 10 more seconds, I would have gotten a point over Luke

Christopher Hooper: overall.

Ellis Taylor: go. All right.

Christopher Hooper: Why? Just wait. But I look goofy in my glasses. No, you don't. You ready for your theme

Tyram: and maybe tied

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: this year? My theme is

Tyram: you, you know.

Ellis Taylor: That's what you get for thinking so little of

Christopher Hooper: Tron Legacy. It's already been

Tyram: Yes, it is, I guess, ultimately fitting that my hubris cost

Christopher Hooper: Zelda two years. Yeah. And

Tyram: me. If anything, I thank so much of you guys. I didn't think you guys

Ali Leonard: You should have done what I

Christopher Hooper: then it's already been Mario. Yeah. I You're not

Tyram: would cheat. You know, I had that I had more respect for you than

Ali Leonard: did. Taylor, I'm going to need you to take the word

Ellis Taylor: us.

Christopher Hooper: You're not one to double up usually. Don't like to double up. Can't do the same

Tyram: that. And except for Luke and Martha,

Ali Leonard: cheating out of your vocabulary during

Christopher Hooper: thing. I don't I don't know what else I'm into that would be

Tyram: I was

Ellis Taylor: I

Christopher Hooper: themew worthy. Ready?

Justin Hale: your

Tyram: wrong. You said a lot

Ali Leonard: Taskmaster.

Ellis Taylor: actively chose not to cheat like three

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I'm going to peek. I'm going to peek. Don't peek. Do

Tyram: in that video. Like, there's way more footage of

Christopher Hooper: it. I'm open my eyes. All right. I'm opening my eyes. Do it. Oh, for

Tyram: you deciding not to use things because you think they're cheating,

Christopher Hooper: real? Oh my god.

Tyram: there is you actually doing the

Ellis Taylor: times.

Christopher Hooper: that you thought of this last night. Did you think of

Justin Hale: polls.

Tyram: task.

Christopher Hooper: this last night? I thought about it a couple weeks ago. You must have an exceptional birthday. Must consume at least one hot beverage. Except Read it out loud. I am. Oh, must consume at least one hot beverage. You got the font in everything. Accept all incoming affection and mentally prepare yourself for the challenges that await. Your time starts exactly the moment you put your glasses

Ali Leonard: That's

Christopher Hooper: on. Your birthday starts now.

Tyram: That was

Christopher Hooper: Wow. Uh, no. never would have guessed that. That's great. That's a really good idea.

Ali Leonard: cute.

Ellis Taylor: A

Christopher Hooper: Thank you. Good job. I'm excited. All right. So, before I do this keyboard thing, um wanted

Ellis Taylor: I found my

Christopher Hooper: one. Okay. So, do Where do you think things?

Ellis Taylor: stick.

Christopher Hooper: I need something to hang.

Tyram: it?

Christopher Hooper: I'm going to get out of the This editing is so good. Just cabinet. There's fur all of it together is so good.

Ellis Taylor: I'm kind of

Christopher Hooper: everywhere. Like maybe putting in a pouch was a bad

Ellis Taylor: glad I didn't record the the

Christopher Hooper: idea.

Ellis Taylor: teacup one because it was just as unhinged with me grabbing my

Christopher Hooper: different. I think you haven't spoken but like thin

Luke Neverisky: Heat.

Justin Hale: Bye.

Ali Leonard: time? That

Christopher Hooper: words.

Ali Leonard: feels right. Just

Christopher Hooper: I thought I might tell you a little

Ali Leonard: looking. Absolutely.

Christopher Hooper: bit more about the operation we

Ali Leonard: Yes. Because this is a missionoriented breakfast dinner. Pre pre-dawn dinner. So, sorry. No

Christopher Hooper: have. Of

Luke Neverisky: Hear more about our

Ali Leonard: offense.

Christopher Hooper: course.

Luke Neverisky: operation.

Christopher Hooper: So, um, we've already arranged for a mercenary group to attend an event at Eldoran. There is a highranking noble that is hiring out mercenary companies to retrieve an artifact. Now, uh, we need to go this route because Elderan is highly defended. It has incredible u mechanisms to detect people carrying

Ali Leonard: Sure. Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: magic uh magic weapons, items, people who wield magic themselves. And I believe that this is one of the best ins, one of the only ways for magic users and people of your stature and ability um able to enter the city is through advocac advocacy of one of their aristocracy. So we believe that we can uh win the um contract um and enter the city through

Tyram: Um, above table

Ali Leonard: very smart. Absolutely.

Tyram: question. Um, did Jasper ever uh get

Christopher Hooper: them.

Tyram: back to us with the name of anybody that he trusted in

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um yeah. Yeah. He he has a few pals from the army that he he uh shared with

Tyram: Elderin? Okay. I want to thank at Ellswith

Christopher Hooper: you.

Tyram: uh you should let her know that we've uh tried to arrange for some potential contact or sorry that you specifically try to arrange for some uh some

Ali Leonard: Maybe you should tell her cuz this is a freaking mission meeting, you

Tyram: contacts. How would you handle

Luke Neverisky: I can't hear you. What was the sound of

Ali Leonard: idiot.

Luke Neverisky: your day going?

Tyram: it? You say

Justin Hale: What?

Tyram: that

Christopher Hooper: And so I one of the interesting uh issues with this is um your group is quite strong and so I believe you need to do a careful

Tyram: now.

Christopher Hooper: balance of appearing to be um less

Ali Leonard: worst. Oh, we're very good at that.

Christopher Hooper: capable than you are.

Luke Neverisky: Oh,

Ellis Taylor: current situation.

Christopher Hooper: Um, you are so funny,

Ellis Taylor: Case in

Ali Leonard: Oh god. Oh gosh. We're just a bunch of ninkham poops

Christopher Hooper: Elizabeth. No, I'm I know it'll

Ellis Taylor: point

Ali Leonard: over

Christopher Hooper: be fairly challenging for you to to not show how capable you are, but I believe

Ali Leonard: here. That's funny.

Christopher Hooper: that you might be able to do it.

Ellis Taylor: How are we going to get the job if we're not capable? I think towards Elsa. Actually, she's just gonna poke her head in the door. I can't handle this

Justin Hale: Oh, heat.

Ellis Taylor: anymore.

Christopher Hooper: Oh. Um, uh, retired detective Olivia Cooper. Yes. Um, excellent question. you will have to draw a fine line and I would

Ali Leonard: I

Christopher Hooper: suggest uh observing your peers to understand what they're capable of and holding your punches just a little bit more than them.

Ellis Taylor: bare minimum. Got it. I feel like we've got plenty in this group

Ali Leonard: We can Yeah, we can do

Ellis Taylor: that fits that description

Ali Leonard: that. We can definitely do that. Um, we do have some

Christopher Hooper: Um

Ali Leonard: contacts from an ally in Eldora Eld in the army who I've been told can be

Christopher Hooper: Oh. Oh, fantastic. Um, the, uh, agent that I'm

Ellis Taylor: exactly.

Christopher Hooper: sending with you is, uh, Agent Finnegan. I don't know if you've met him

Tyram: We've heard the name a

Ali Leonard: trusted. I don't think so. But I'm not good with

Tyram: lot back when we were first like chasing after George

Ali Leonard: names, honestly.

Christopher Hooper: before. Okay. Who is

Tyram: Finnegan's name came up a

Ali Leonard: Oh, that was a

Tyram: lot. No, he was part of the Twilight

Ali Leonard: bad guy though. I

Ellis Taylor: I think he and George were just

Tyram: Company. Like I think he was George's

Ellis Taylor: doing stuff at the same time. Oh man, that's a whole other

Tyram: contact in the Twilight Company is how that all got

Ali Leonard: thought Got

Ellis Taylor: notebook. Yeah, maybe

Tyram: started. That was like that was like a year and a half ago

Ellis Taylor: he was hella

Tyram: real time though. So yeah, it's been a

Christopher Hooper: it? Yep.

Ellis Taylor: suspicious.

Ali Leonard: it.

Christopher Hooper: Um, but when you make character art for an

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: NPC, you never forget them, you

Justin Hale: a little baby

Ali Leonard: I got an 11 for

Christopher Hooper: It is a full that is not a

Ellis Taylor: all babies just like all kitties are always

Ali Leonard: dexterity. Everything is always a baby. My big fat cat, that's a

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: babies.

Justin Hale: being

Ali Leonard: little

Christopher Hooper: snake. So, El Smith, you

Justin Hale: way. Okay, bye. I scramble

Ellis Taylor: Does she see Brew as kind of

Justin Hale: away.

Christopher Hooper: tickle.

Ellis Taylor: like one of her like creatures or does she see him as more like a

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I I don't think she's her

Ellis Taylor: sentient being like a people in the races because he's a

Ali Leonard: great-g grandandmother, is she? I think she's more

Ellis Taylor: goblin. I think she's probably

Christopher Hooper: Uh, I don't even think you need to roll insight in

Ellis Taylor: more about a

Christopher Hooper: that she she is learned enough to know that he's like another thinking being, but she doesn't quite know like how

Ellis Taylor: snake.

Christopher Hooper: old he is or

Ellis Taylor: 21

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. um quite how old or

Ellis Taylor: insight.

Christopher Hooper: like how

Tyram: So, she doesn't know like if

Ali Leonard: how they aged.

Christopher Hooper: they she she's still every goblin

Tyram: what Brew is doing is weird or

Christopher Hooper: she's interacted with every goblin she's

Tyram: not.

Ali Leonard: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: interacted with is pretty childish and she doesn't know whether that's because she's only interacted with goblin children or

Ali Leonard: sure. How old they all

Christopher Hooper: if that that's just like how even bullying a

[01:20:00]

Ellis Taylor: Or are they're playing it up to con

Ali Leonard: are? I'm like, he says he's a full adult, but I'm

Christopher Hooper: crown Yeah. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: not I'm still not sure.

Ellis Taylor: them? I can imagine just being like that. I'm just a

Ali Leonard: He says he can legally drink, but I

Ellis Taylor: baby.

Ali Leonard: don't

Christopher Hooper: or Yeah. Um and at that point, uh she stands up and she says, "I want you to know, Elsit, that you're going into the M of the beast. This is dangerous. Be careful. And at that point, she steps

Ali Leonard: know.

Christopher Hooper: out and um there's a whole spread of of pre-dawn

Ali Leonard: Do I still have a snake?

Christopher Hooper: dinner for you.

Ali Leonard: Hell

Luke Neverisky: I mean, I've had words.

Ali Leonard: yeah. Guys, you guys sucked at

Justin Hale: it.

Ellis Taylor: It was a team effort all around, guys.

Ali Leonard: awkward.

Tyram: worse than that. That was like a pretty neutral outcome for having Brew in the room.

Justin Hale: can confirm I was there.

Tyram: We just need to get you guys up to speed on schemes. You guys still aren't, you know, pros like we are

Ali Leonard: Okay. Yeah. I

Ellis Taylor: Excuse me. I excused myself to the powder

Justin Hale: to make it in

Tyram: times? Well, it seems like it's every other campaign,

Ali Leonard: right.

Christopher Hooper: you love

Tyram: right? Because he I don't think he really did that as shield at all.

Ellis Taylor: I don't

Justin Hale: something. No, no, I just said

Christopher Hooper: it.

Ellis Taylor: know. Why is it not

Justin Hale: it's a it's the second campaign that I've done

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I don't

Justin Hale: that. That may have to become a thing in every campaign

Luke Neverisky: It

Justin Hale: now. I missed

Tyram: Yeah. Oh, so now you're into campaign traditions, but when like you're the

Christopher Hooper: know. Maybe she'll go

Ellis Taylor: changing?

Tyram: fattest character in the party. Oh, no. We got to finish that

Justin Hale: it.

Tyram: up.

Luke Neverisky: works.

Justin Hale: Listen to you making

Christopher Hooper: I am heating up a potato

Ellis Taylor: A single potato fry.

Justin Hale: popcorn. Oh, all right.

Christopher Hooper: fry. Yes, a single potato

Justin Hale: Put the whole

Tyram: That's

Christopher Hooper: fry.

Tyram: sad. No,

Christopher Hooper: It's It's a large potato

Ellis Taylor: question. Do you have

Tyram: that that's so weird,

Ellis Taylor: an air fryer and are they worth

Justin Hale: potato, dude. Air

Tyram: man.

Christopher Hooper: fry. I

Luke Neverisky: one. Yeah, they are absolutely worth it.

Ellis Taylor: it? What do you use it for? Like that. What do you

Justin Hale: fryers are the best.

Tyram: Except for like the only thing that's really a knock

Christopher Hooper: I mine is the blood

Ellis Taylor: an oven can doesn't

Justin Hale: I am not a

Tyram: against an air fryer is that you can't fit a lot inside of it all at

Ellis Taylor: work?

Justin Hale: fan.

Tyram: once. But other than that, like you can use it for basically

Ellis Taylor: But what can you

Justin Hale: depends on what's

Christopher Hooper: quality. It

Ellis Taylor: use it that the oven doesn't already

Justin Hale: on

Tyram: anything. It works faster than the oven most of the

Christopher Hooper: is an

Ellis Taylor: work?

Justin Hale: because part and the convection part the air

Tyram: time.

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Justin Hale: part the airflow that's what does the frying

Luke Neverisky: Do you have a

Ellis Taylor: We

Justin Hale: thing if your oven the convection part of it it's basically an

Luke Neverisky: connection?

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Okay.

Justin Hale: air so yeah if you if you have a convection

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, that makes

Justin Hale: oven you don't really need an air fryer it just takes longer because of the volume so you

Ellis Taylor: sense. And probably more

Justin Hale: have to heat up longer So, I I

Christopher Hooper: up.

Justin Hale: I'm not ashamed to say that I have two air fryers. I have a small

Christopher Hooper: That's crazy.

Justin Hale: one. I have a small one and then I have a toaster oven that doubles as an

Christopher Hooper: You're out of

Ellis Taylor: power. Oh,

Justin Hale: air fryer. Listen, I

Ellis Taylor: wow. Yeah, I have to fight Keith on

Justin Hale: like my kitchen gadgets.

Ellis Taylor: single-use appliances and I have lost the battle on coffee making methods. We're at like

Justin Hale: Obviously, the that's fair. The only reason that Christina doesn't

Christopher Hooper: control.

Justin Hale: ever really fight me on those things is because like I don't have ADHD, but I hyperfixate on things to where like if I buy something, it's going to

Ellis Taylor: eight. That's fair. Like a

Justin Hale: be used. I will use the s*** out of whatever I

Ellis Taylor: margarita

Justin Hale: get. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: machine.

Justin Hale: Yeah, that thing that thing has got logged some hours.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Justin Hale: Okay. Uh I I didn't realize that my 3D printer also had hours tracking on it. It has

Ellis Taylor: That's amazing. It's a

Justin Hale: 1,976 uh operating

Ellis Taylor: pro. 1,000 hours. I like

Justin Hale: hours. Yeah, dude.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it's a big

Ellis Taylor: your single potato

Justin Hale: Yeah, I saw that. I was like,

Christopher Hooper: potato.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, it's

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. It's true.

Justin Hale: That's That's totally

Christopher Hooper: substantial. It was the only one

Ellis Taylor: It sounds

Christopher Hooper: left. Um, okay. Y you all have a nice pre-dawn

Justin Hale: fair.

Christopher Hooper: dinner and just as you finish finish um the

Justin Hale: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: sun rises over the horizon and comes into through the window

Ellis Taylor: really

Tyram: When she said pre dawn, it was like exactly at dawn

Christopher Hooper: and uh Mr.

Tyram: when we were done. That's great

Christopher Hooper: Slithers.

Tyram: timing.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, Lady Viper is on a schedule. Um, and Mr. Slither slithers away. Um, and you are left to your own devices. Um, at this point, a the butler comes back and

Ellis Taylor: No,

Christopher Hooper: says, "Your your wagon awaits to take you to the little

Ellis Taylor: A little cradle. Oh, is that the

Christopher Hooper: cradle." Yes. Yes, I

Tyram: All right. We going by train

Christopher Hooper: believe

Tyram: or

Christopher Hooper: so. Please take the wagon we

Luke Neverisky: Wagon

Tyram: That seems like that's going to take a very long

Christopher Hooper: have arranged for

Ellis Taylor: town? Apparently, we're not taking our own cars.

Tyram: time. We have a Bugatti we could take get here in probably like one the

Christopher Hooper: you. It will take most of the

Luke Neverisky: apparently.

Christopher Hooper: day. the deal. Do you take the

Luke Neverisky: Don't be rude rude though. I

Tyram: time. And I don't want to be a jerk about this, but yeah, a wagon seems like the worst possible means of transportation

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, but I feel like we might need to be less more under the radar and not in our very identifiable vehicles.

Tyram: here. Well,

Christopher Hooper: car?

Luke Neverisky: mean

Ellis Taylor: Come on, Mr. Selfie

Tyram: we can go like 9/10 of the way there and then just store them in the pocket

Christopher Hooper: Do you still have your

Tyram: village. It's in the pocket village. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: van? We could do a quick paint job on the

Luke Neverisky: I

Tyram: You know, I will we can humor you

Christopher Hooper: van. I would not advise

Luke Neverisky: said make this

Ellis Taylor: Poo. I request a wizard on the

Tyram: and go look at this wagon and decide if we want to use it or

Christopher Hooper: taking the

Luke Neverisky: one.

Ellis Taylor: side.

Christopher Hooper: Bugatti. Um, yeah. Y'all head into a garage. There's actually underground facility for the garage.

Tyram: not.

Christopher Hooper: Um, you see, it's not a horsedrawn wagon. It's like a Yeah,

Ellis Taylor: like a VW wagon. Like

Christopher Hooper: it's it's like a motorized wagon. It's basically like the

Ellis Taylor: a

Tyram: This little

Christopher Hooper: wood part of a horsedrawn wagon. It's basically like the wooden part of a horserawn wagon, but instead of like a horse and carriage part, there's like

Ali Leonard: Have we left the dinner?

Christopher Hooper: a front motor

Tyram: wagot.

Ali Leonard: And I And do I still have the

Christopher Hooper: piece. This the snakes

Ellis Taylor: Now snakes.

Ali Leonard: snake? Before I left the

Christopher Hooper: it away. Y'all are leaving the dinner

Ali Leonard: dinner, I wanted Sorry, I was in the bathroom. Um, I wanted

Christopher Hooper: imminently.

Ali Leonard: to write a note like on a little because I have my journal that I'm writing freaking Iro's

[01:30:00]

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: book on. I'm going to tear off a little scrap and like attach it to his neck. He's all neck. So, just like tie it around

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Ali Leonard: and it's just going to say, um, sorry about them. And then, um, I'll take you on a real date when I get back. and then

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: Oh.

Ali Leonard: like dash and then

Christopher Hooper: All

Luke Neverisky: Um, I

Tyram: Hell

Ali Leonard: L. It's like when you can be

Christopher Hooper: right. Okay. All right. All

Ali Leonard: confident through

Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: see.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh,

Ali Leonard: IM's. Do they have AOL instant messenger

Ellis Taylor: yeah. No, but I've been wanting to figure

Christopher Hooper: Mhm.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: out how to download the signs the sounds for my text messages for like incoming

Ali Leonard: here? I love that. I think

Ellis Taylor: and outgoing texts because that would be so

Tyram: yeah.

Ali Leonard: this universe needs AIM.

Ellis Taylor: awesome. I think it does. I think the kids today need it.

Justin Hale: You call it AIM and not

Ali Leonard: I didn't know if I usually say aim. I

Ellis Taylor: aim.

Ali Leonard: just

Christopher Hooper: But she got nervous.

Justin Hale: AIM. Oh,

Ali Leonard: I don't know. I'm still in my

Christopher Hooper: She's real nervous right

Luke Neverisky: Damn.

Christopher Hooper: now.

Justin Hale: okay.

Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. And you you leave a little message on Mr.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: character. Hi,

Christopher Hooper: Sithers.

Luke Neverisky: Whoa.

Ali Leonard: Sniglet.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and you head to the garage and um, yeah, you head into the garage and you see uh, uh, you see this like pretty it it seems like a utility type truck vehicle

Ellis Taylor: Is it like a normal type car or is it like weird as f*** to

Christopher Hooper: thing.

Ellis Taylor: have a wooden cart with a

Christopher Hooper: So you're in you're in like So it's like 1950s60s fantasy techno

Ellis Taylor: motor?

Christopher Hooper: technologies. So you have a lot of a lot of things that are like in that bridge period where automobiles are like common but they're still like fairly

Tyram: Except for the Bugatti that we

Christopher Hooper: rustic and like and

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: so I mean that's

Ellis Taylor: But I guess in the context of the world, does it look like some like weird farmer DIY project or is this kind of like a normal lowbudget like Ford Model T type thing that just like everyone has just

Christopher Hooper: like

Ellis Taylor: like super generic cheap car? I guess is what I'm

Tyram: have.

Christopher Hooper: I would say both. I would say both in that like it's pretty common for people to kind of like have their like pretty

Ellis Taylor: asking.

Christopher Hooper: basic like truck and just like attach stuff to

Ellis Taylor: Okay. Okay. So, we're not going to stick out like a sore thumb driving this

Christopher Hooper: it. I don't think

Ellis Taylor: thing.

Christopher Hooper: so. Especially because Graport is significantly poorer like economically than Elderan. And

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: so most of the people coming from Greyport in that direction will be in like more beat up

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Okay. Yeah, guys.

Tyram: All

Ellis Taylor: I feel like maybe this thing might be a little bit better and we just hold on to our cars, have them fueled up, ready to go. We need to make a quick

Christopher Hooper: vehicles.

Ellis Taylor: exit. But this might be a great just under the radar.

Luke Neverisky: For us, it'd be kind of

Ellis Taylor: Get in

Luke Neverisky: be, you know,

Tyram: right. I guess it'll give

Luke Neverisky: refuse.

Tyram: us more time to scheme since it'll take significantly

Ellis Taylor: there.

Tyram: longer to get there in this

Christopher Hooper: Excellent. Well, um, do you need a

Ellis Taylor: No, definitely

Christopher Hooper: driver?

Luke Neverisky: Think I got one of

Ellis Taylor: not. I mean, unless you think something

Ali Leonard: No, between us, I think we can all figure

Christopher Hooper: Good.

Luke Neverisky: those.

Ali Leonard: day, you have to tell me next time I see

Christopher Hooper: Yes, I quite enjoy

Ali Leonard: Wankens when he's

Christopher Hooper: it.

Luke Neverisky: Hold

Ali Leonard: drive. I don't care. If

Justin Hale: I'm I'm clearly too short to do anything. So,

Ali Leonard: you Bro, do you want to drive? I'll let you drive. Because then he can't whip out a

Ellis Taylor: driver. Okay.

Justin Hale: I'm not Oh, I can't I can't because

Tyram: to. Oh, let him drive as though like he wouldn't be allowed

Ali Leonard: knife. Oh. Oh my god. Just

Christopher Hooper: driving

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Justin Hale: I'm too

Ali Leonard: freaking the

Luke Neverisky: Wow.

Tyram: otherwise.

Christopher Hooper: Hey, Pawsums, listen up. We can't go in

Justin Hale: short.

Christopher Hooper: with this type of inter internal inter internal turmoil. Internal

Ellis Taylor: You got

Ali Leonard: Mhm. Yeah. But I love the

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Sorry,

Ellis Taylor: it.

Christopher Hooper: I forgot what I was doing midway through.

Tyram: there. Okay. But hey, so I know Lady Viper wants us to

Christopher Hooper: Wait,

Luke Neverisky: Yes.

Tyram: go like blow up some like religious sites or whatever. Um, what if we also managed to set up a uh another Liliana concert like in enemy territory, you

Ali Leonard: attitude. Oh wow. Like underground but

Tyram: know? Yeah. Do an underground concert so it's like all cool and punk

Ali Leonard: above

Tyram: and

Ali Leonard: ground. And all the teen rebels will come

Luke Neverisky: My

Tyram: stuff. Yeah. You know, those teen rebels love to come out and

Ali Leonard: out.

Christopher Hooper: wait. That sounds pretty cool.

Tyram: blast like softcore uh like vibe music, you know.

Ali Leonard: That's what I've

Christopher Hooper: By the way, Liliana, I love your

Luke Neverisky: fault. Oh, thanks. It's, you know, just comes

Justin Hale: That's

Christopher Hooper: music. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: from the heart. Just feel it. Um, all good

Tyram: So

Ali Leonard: heard.

Luke Neverisky: vibes, good times, you know, as long as people are happy in my

Justin Hale: it.

Tyram: before the next concert, we need to make some of those religious emblems so that we can sell

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. It makes me really happy.

Tyram: them, which will have the added bonus of supporting Faith in Luna and make us money, you

Luke Neverisky: conference. Yeah. More about the former less about the latter. But

Tyram: I I don't care which one you prioritize more as long as it does

Luke Neverisky: sure.

Christopher Hooper: I feel like economic drivers are a central force in spreading

Tyram: both. Scarlet knows what's

Christopher Hooper: religion. Most of belief is just um a part of like societal

Tyram: up.

Christopher Hooper: norms pushing you towards a certain direction, you

Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Religion is funny.

Christopher Hooper: know. Yeah, I guess

Ali Leonard: Also, I've written a chapter of the IRO book. Do we release it chapter by

Christopher Hooper: so.

Tyram: I feel like you got to complete that first novel before you can release

Ali Leonard: chapter? Like a

Tyram: it. Oh, like

Ali Leonard: fanfiction? No, like you know, like one of those

Christopher Hooper: 12

Tyram: like you get like a partnership with like a magazine or something and they produce

Ali Leonard: like it's

Tyram: like

Ali Leonard: like well now it's like you follow stories online and it's like they release a chapter every week or every few days.

Christopher Hooper: seconds like a web

Luke Neverisky: Neither do I

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I kind of like that. But there's like

Christopher Hooper: tune.

Tyram: They also did stuff like that with like the Sherlock Holmes stories. They would like release one of those in like a magazine chapter like um

Ali Leonard: books, but that way you have people constantly wanting

Luke Neverisky: read.

Tyram: overtime. Yeah. That's not a bad

Ali Leonard: more, you

Tyram: idea. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: know, and because I only have one chapter and I don't really want to

Tyram: Now, Scarlet, you read that first chapter, right? What's your

Ali Leonard: write anymore right now.

Christopher Hooper: really

Luke Neverisky: All right,

Christopher Hooper: good. Um, are we going to

Ali Leonard: mocha,

Christopher Hooper: Is it better this way,

Ali Leonard: but it's

Justin Hale: go. I mean, it really it's really down to preference.

Ali Leonard: not.

Luke Neverisky: What the

Justin Hale: It's just it's different, you know. Warm bread is like

Ali Leonard: It's

Luke Neverisky: heck?

Justin Hale: a like a you know, like it's cold outside. You get to drink something nice and warm. It's like a refreshing summer

Ali Leonard: Sure. The cold the part of the cold brown that gets me is the gelatinous fat

Christopher Hooper: Brew? Oh,

Ali Leonard: in it cuz all the fat from the brown gets kind

Christopher Hooper: okay.

Justin Hale: treat.

Ali Leonard: of Yeah, it's Yeah, it gets kind of

Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. And it oils your lips and mouth a little bit. That's

Ali Leonard: gelatinous. I'm not It's not my favorite texture,

Christopher Hooper: nice.

Luke Neverisky: Oh, you're into

Justin Hale: Nice.

Ali Leonard: but again, everybody's

Luke Neverisky: it.

Justin Hale: It's like a built-in lip

Ali Leonard: preference. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Mhm. Um Yeah. And so Scarlet um you know starts eating a bowl of brown and let me

Ali Leonard: Yeah, do

Christopher Hooper: make a constitution saving throw.

Ali Leonard: that. And she

Christopher Hooper: Um, she stomachs it and she

Luke Neverisky: Hello. What a

Justin Hale: balm. That one.

Ali Leonard: dies. Hell yeah.

Christopher Hooper: gets really f*****

Justin Hale: She

Ali Leonard: Queen. Good thing we have quite a

Luke Neverisky: champ.

Christopher Hooper: up. Hey, have y'all ever thought

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Tyram: No. And

Ali Leonard: drive.

Christopher Hooper: about making a

Luke Neverisky: Queen.

Tyram: neither should

Ali Leonard: Oh

Christopher Hooper: gun? I think about it

Tyram: you. Stop it. Stop it right

Christopher Hooper: almost every day. Like I think all of my

Luke Neverisky: No.

Ellis Taylor: Oh

Justin Hale: I slowly start pulling my knife out

Tyram: now. This time I don't stop you. Like, you know, we might have to go

Ali Leonard: no.

Luke Neverisky: I'm

Justin Hale: again.

Tyram: there.

Christopher Hooper: research I just think that's where all this research is heading. like the the

Luke Neverisky: just

Ellis Taylor: god.

Christopher Hooper: the portal the portable village and the gods

Tyram: God damn it. God damn it. I knew back when all this

Christopher Hooper: and stuff and I just wish I had a gun

Tyram: started, I told you all this would

Ali Leonard: Hey, Scarlet.

Luke Neverisky: asking

Ali Leonard: It's not it's not your research is not leading towards that. And I know

Justin Hale: I'm Guns are

Christopher Hooper: to Oh

Justin Hale: probably the dumbest thing that you could make. Do you

Tyram: happen.

Christopher Hooper: my god. Are y'all

Justin Hale: realize? You realize in this in this vehicle there are so many smart people in here and you are arguably one of the

Ali Leonard: that.

Justin Hale: smartest people in here and you decide to talk about a

Ali Leonard: I already have a gun. You can shoot

Christopher Hooper: serious? I love

Justin Hale: gun. No more brown for you. It makes you too

Ali Leonard: my gun later. Like I have a gun.

Christopher Hooper: guns. Can

Justin Hale: dumb.

Tyram: Rude. Do you still have that grenade launcher from the boat

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Justin Hale: You mean

Tyram: mission? Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: I Did I do your grenade launcher?

Justin Hale: Le? No, you can't touch it. You're not with allowed within 50 feet of any guns from here on

Christopher Hooper: Oh my god, you guys are being

Justin Hale: out. Hey, can you smell this? And I I take a wet cloth and put it up to her

Christopher Hooper: ridiculous. Oh, it's

Justin Hale: face. It's not while they're sniff it

Christopher Hooper: water. Oh, that's

Justin Hale: again.

[01:50:00]

Christopher Hooper: it. At this point, um you um you see a green sign with white letters that say a little trickle creek. Um and it starts following the road and it leads you to um where all these um you see several as you get closer, you see all these other um roads begin to converge too. And the road you're on begins to get much more busy. Um you see people stopped along the way and there's um some stalls set up with farmers selling fruit. A couple tents where people have just stopped along the road to to stay. Um and uh Elizabeth, you said you're driving,

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Oh, good. I'm really good

Christopher Hooper: right? Um go ahead and give me a perception

Ali Leonard: at this

Christopher Hooper: check.

Ali Leonard: sarcasm. Oh, finally I rolled. Okay,

Justin Hale: Flash of

Ali Leonard: 17.

Christopher Hooper: 17. Are you flash a geniusing her? Okay. So, that's

Justin Hale: G. Yeah, why

Christopher Hooper: um 21. Okay. Um you

Justin Hale: not?

Ali Leonard: 21.

Christopher Hooper: um you see um traffic begins to slow a lot and um you can just

Ellis Taylor: Oops.

Christopher Hooper: peer up ahead. It looks like there's some sort of um roadblock. Looks like um people's vehicles are getting checked and um you see there's some some officers up there and uh it looks like they're just, you know, checking all the vehicles passing

Ali Leonard: Are they all

Christopher Hooper: through. Well, yeah, looks like it. Um, they're not they're not wearing

Ali Leonard: Dorans?

Christopher Hooper: like obvious like Eldoran like super soldier armor, but you're an Eldorian country.

Ali Leonard: Mhm. Okay. So I say,

Christopher Hooper: Um, and they're

Tyram: Yeah, I can probably manage.

Ali Leonard: "Silus, you can drive, right?" Okay, switch

Tyram: All right. Um,

Ali Leonard: with

Tyram: quick I I psychic phone with everyone. I don't think we're actually carrying

Christopher Hooper: officials.

Tyram: anything

Ali Leonard: me. No, but if they ask me anything, I can't

Ellis Taylor: That was my

Tyram: contraband. Oh, true. That's You would probably f*** it up somehow.

Ellis Taylor: first Yeah, that was my

Ali Leonard: lie.

Ellis Taylor: That's what I was wondering. I was like, is anything beyond like the magic weapons we have? Like everything we got's pretty

Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. We're supposed to be mercenaries. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: We have that cocaine, but I'm pretty sure that's

Ellis Taylor: chill,

Tyram: Yeah, we're posing as a mercenary band, so any like weapons we have on us should be

Ellis Taylor: right? Yeah. It's

Tyram: completely legit

Ellis Taylor: the the big city. They're really restrictive about magic items and magic users, right? That's why we got to do this

Ali Leonard: legal. Yeah. Yeah,

Ellis Taylor: whole uh mercenary thing to get

Ali Leonard: exactly.

Luke Neverisky: Sure.

Ellis Taylor: in. Oops. Excuse

Justin Hale: Thank

Tyram: here. Yeah, it can I can take point if you want me

Christopher Hooper: All

Tyram: to.

Christopher Hooper: right. All right. You switch drivers.

Justin Hale: you.

Christopher Hooper: Um, anyone else doing anything as you as you get close to the to the checkpoint?

Ellis Taylor: me. Um, can I do like a insight check because Ellis can't think of anything that we've got that might set off red flags for them, but Olivia might be able to think of something better. Like what what are we

Christopher Hooper: You can anyone anyone who wants to can give me either insight

Ali Leonard: How do they feel about

Christopher Hooper: or

Ellis Taylor: carrying? The inside is

Tyram: I did

Christopher Hooper: history.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. Don't like

Ellis Taylor: better.

Tyram: recently give Bruce some cocaine for his

Ali Leonard: cocaine? Yeah, that's what I

Christopher Hooper: 17 for insect.

Tyram: birthday. Uh 24

Luke Neverisky: it.

Tyram: insight. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: 24 for insight.

Luke Neverisky: Wait for

Ellis Taylor: 17

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. So folks with the pretty high inside

Ali Leonard: mean.

Christopher Hooper: checks, you see um you you kind of look around, you see other

Luke Neverisky: Uh

Christopher Hooper: carts. You actually notice there are some carts with like different armaments, um different types of goods. Um it it doesn't seem it you see enough people with like things that are dangerous like coming through. Um they are getting routed to like a different check um to like a more strenuous check. Uh but you kind of notice that they're like going through So, you don't you don't necessarily think that there's any reason for you to be stopped.

Ellis Taylor: This is starting to give me the like California agriculture checkpoints.

Christopher Hooper: Um. Mhm. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Do you know what I'm talking about, Toeer?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. for you guys. If you want go into California, they have these checkpoints where you're supposed to stop and not have any like

Christopher Hooper: Exactly.

Ellis Taylor: produce or anything, but they just leave you through. Like I don't think I've ever stopped

Ali Leonard: Are they checking for

Ellis Taylor: once. Yeah, cuz California produces like I like when I took my just fruits class in college, like it was all about world fruit production. It was usually a 50-50

Ali Leonard: produce?

Ellis Taylor: toss up whether it came from California or China. just like

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: their agriculture is huge and so they try to keep pests

Ali Leonard: Well, sure.

Ellis Taylor: out completely.

Tyram: Oh, should we have like some sort of documentation to say that we are like a whatever possum? What was it? A popa possum or

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Tyram: something? Okay, Zylus is good at forging documents. Could I like forge some credentials while

Ali Leonard: Sure.

Ellis Taylor: Papoosea

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: we're driving

Christopher Hooper: you could do that. Uh, if you want to do that after the fact or like

Tyram: along?

Christopher Hooper: before the fact, um, go ahead. Uh, that check.

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: Um, let's see. Um, we can do slight of hand for

Tyram: Yeah. Hell yeah.

Christopher Hooper: that. Okay, cool. Yeah, you

Tyram: Okay. Uh 23

Christopher Hooper: have some some good-looking documents. Um, what do you want this document to look like?

Tyram: Um, I just want it to look like it's like a mercenary guild

Christopher Hooper: Okay, with that in fairly

Tyram: registration

Christopher Hooper: high insight you gave me, we'll we'll kind of combine these two checks and say that you

Tyram: basically.

Christopher Hooper: um you're familiar with like how mercenary groups kind of like identify themselves and make themselves look official to mostly handle like the like the bureaucracy of killing people and things and carrying around weapons and stuff like that. Um, and and you're familiar enough that you know like the the typical Eldoran um the typical Eldoran like documentation style and stuff like that to to put some documents together. Um, Ellis, you gave me what? Uh,

Ellis Taylor: 17.

Christopher Hooper: 17.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Um, I think you at like in your profession know that for the vast majority of these types of checkpoints, they are not concerned much like you said like the fruit checks like they're going to check semis, they're not checking like personal vehicles types of thing. Um, I think that they might flag a mercenary group as something to inspect um, in particular,

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: but you don't think there's anything on you that is like particularly concerning. Uh, unless they were to take like a deep dive and like look at all your magical items. Like a pocket village is like kind of

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: crazy. Um, but also like you're kind of in this like far out town. You're not at the city gate yet,

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: so it it could be it's like probably fine. Um, and Silus can would probably be able to talk his way out, you would imagine, of like you're not like a militant group.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Okay. I'll just relay that to silos. Like, hey, downplay the mercenary bit. That's the only thing I could think they would flag us and try to do a deep dive. We don't have anything that's crazy, but like the pocket village is kind of like really intense magic that they might go for.

Tyram: Right. Right. Well, let's just kind of our pocket village is like um like what is it like? Uh what what like device does it look like when we're just like carrying it around? Did we

Christopher Hooper: Uh yeah,

Tyram: say it was like a capsule from Dragon Ball or something like

Christopher Hooper: that's what I had in mind.

Tyram: that? Okay, let's just kind of sto that somewhere. Maybe they won't even find it in the first

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um Okay. and you um you pull up and um uh there's a there's a guy comes up to your window and knocks on the

Tyram: place. Does

Christopher Hooper: window. Yeah, it's got

Tyram: the wagon have windows?

Ali Leonard: You have to get

Christopher Hooper: it's got manual

Tyram: All right, I cranked it

Ali Leonard: the

Christopher Hooper: windows.

Tyram: now.

Ellis Taylor: Apparently it's a convertible

Tyram: Um, howdy doodle, officer. How can we help you

Christopher Hooper: and the the end is called little

Tyram: stop over for Little Cradle. Yeah, we're going to stop over in Little Cradle. a little spoon and uh we're making our way to El

Ali Leonard: That's what I

Ellis Taylor: Thought it was little soup. Yeah, I thought I wrote down Little Soup. Is it Little Soup or Little

Christopher Hooper: spoon. Oh, I

Tyram: Doran. I definitely

Ali Leonard: thought. I said little

Ellis Taylor: Spoon? Or is Little Spoon is the end. Little soup is the

Christopher Hooper: think Oh, I think it's Little

Tyram: character.

Ellis Taylor: restaurant or little little soup is the restaurant and little spoon is

Tyram: I feel like little spoon

Ali Leonard: soup.

Tyram: Well, heck, officer. That sounds like you're doing us

Ali Leonard: Oh, damn. You too

Tyram: a That that sounds like the best opportunity I could hope

Christopher Hooper: All right. Well, um he's going to be coming by

Tyram: for.

Ali Leonard: hard.

Christopher Hooper: um little cradle uh tomorrow morning um at the recruitment desk um over by the church and uh right after service. uh he's going to be out there getting signups and and then they're

Tyram: Oh, if my papy could see me

Christopher Hooper: they're I tell you what, you know, uh getting in that uh that ivory armor, it's it's glorious, man. I see it whirling. It's it's a sight to

Tyram: now. Oh, that might be too big a dream for a simple hay seed like me, sir. But I guess what do

Christopher Hooper: behold. That's what I say. That's how I

Tyram: we have if not our

Christopher Hooper: wake up in the morning, you know. Anyway, uh give it a look. Uh you know, Paul gets a little kickback for every uh sign up, so it'd be uh be helpful for him, too. I

Tyram: dreams?

Christopher Hooper: know he's been um well, since Margaret left, he's he's been real having a tough

Tyram: Ah, she sounds like

Christopher Hooper: time. And

Tyram: a real

Ali Leonard: Don't you bring my grandma into

Christopher Hooper: she's actually she had right reason. He he was pretty

Ali Leonard: this.

Christopher Hooper: rude.

Tyram: b****. Oh, well, no, it's none of my

Christopher Hooper: But they had their reasons, you know. I think they just weren't

Tyram: business.

Christopher Hooper: good a good fit. And we're the whole town's really struggling

Ali Leonard: He

Tyram: is like

Ali Leonard: just really starts leaning on the

Tyram: thinking real hard about what an exit ramp could be from this conversation.

Christopher Hooper: because anyway, I I'm sure you'll hear

Ali Leonard: car.

Christopher Hooper: about it tomorrow morning. Um, you know,

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: his he needs a friend.

Tyram: Now I think that brew make crying noises real quick. Oh.

Justin Hale: When I'm a

Tyram: Oh, sorry. All right, I need to get the get the wagon moving. The vibr

Christopher Hooper: Oh, um I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Tyram: the motion is what keeps them asleep, you

Christopher Hooper: Um you know, you got places to be anyway. Take care. Stay out of trouble. And he uh pats your vehicle and waves you through and says to allow you

Justin Hale: baby,

Justin Hale: I'm

Christopher Hooper: here. Keep him

Tyram: know. All

Luke Neverisky: Good job. Selling

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Justin Hale: table?

Christopher Hooper: Uh

Ali Leonard: Yeah,

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh god.

Justin Hale: Do they have a gift of that? Got to find it

Tyram: I heard at one point they wanted to make a fourth

Ali Leonard: probably.

Tyram: one. Yeah. I hope

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I think they're on it, aren't

Ellis Taylor: Probably. Have we not talked about space

Ali Leonard: they? That they're making

Luke Neverisky: I don't

Ellis Taylor: balls

Tyram: not. I hope not that one

Ali Leonard: that

Ellis Taylor: too? They are. I am so

Justin Hale: now.

Tyram: too. I like the Austin Powers

Ali Leonard: one.

Luke Neverisky: know.

Tyram: movies, but they are an they are from a different era and they should stay in that

Ali Leonard: It's a

Ellis Taylor: excited.

Ali Leonard: different time.

Justin Hale: That's That's exactly what Michael Myers said to

Luke Neverisky: Huh?

Justin Hale: or Mike Myers rather said. Uh he was like, "We were talking

Tyram: era. I I

Justin Hale: about a fourth one. It's just it doesn't make sense

Tyram: agree with that. I like the

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Justin Hale: anymore. I would love a fourth one personally, but I understand

Tyram: movies. I like them a lot. They're some of my favorite movies growing up, but

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, but have you rewatched

Justin Hale: what

Tyram: just I can't think of the last time I sat down and

Ellis Taylor: them? Do they hold

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: watched them

Ali Leonard: I tried to watch the movie Grind a few months ago and

Ellis Taylor: up?

Tyram: now. Which

Ali Leonard: it does not hold up. the skateboarding

Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. Are you

Tyram: one? Oh,

Ali Leonard: movie. It I was like showing it to

Justin Hale: serious? I love that movie. It It

Ali Leonard: my boyfriend who had never seen it and I think five times I had to be like it was

Ellis Taylor: Oh,

Justin Hale: doesn't hold

Ali Leonard: a different

Justin Hale: up, Ally. to to for something

Tyram: okay.

Ellis Taylor: dude.

Justin Hale: to hold up now means that it implies that it had to hold up when

Tyram: That's a good point. Like I

Ali Leonard: time. Yeah. No, it was problematic

Justin Hale: it came out. And that movie was terrible

Tyram: feel like movies like Independence Day that were cheesy

Ali Leonard: then.

Justin Hale: when it came

Tyram: at the time I feel like hold up really well

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Justin Hale: out. I I still

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I love that.

Justin Hale: so hopelessly love and quote Grind to this

Tyram: actually.

Ali Leonard: I have it on

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. What was

Justin Hale: day. Love that movie.

Ali Leonard: DVD. I'm just like,

Ellis Taylor: it? All right.

Justin Hale: Do you know how hard to find in widescreen, by the way? It's in impossible to find that movie in

Ali Leonard: huh? And what is it? What do I

Justin Hale: widescreen.

Ali Leonard: have? What do I

Ellis Taylor: I don't remember this

Ali Leonard: have? I gotta look in my DVD

Justin Hale: Yeah, it's very possible you've never seen this

Ali Leonard: collection. I It

Ellis Taylor: movie.

Justin Hale: movie. Most people have. A very

Tyram: impossible.

Ali Leonard: was one of those that I assumed everyone had

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Justin Hale: Bgrade movie.

Ellis Taylor: I When did it come out? 2003. When did Lords of Dog come out? I remember watching that one. That was a great

Ali Leonard: seen. This was not It's not a great

Ellis Taylor: movie. That's two years

Justin Hale: Yeah, grind is

Ali Leonard: movie. Not a classic.

Justin Hale: not but Ben Marjgera

Tyram: That tells

Ellis Taylor: later. Speaking

Justin Hale: is the special guest star in that movie. If that tells you

Tyram: a lot

Ellis Taylor: of not great movies, I tried to show my theater high school theater uh husband a high school

Justin Hale: anything.

Ellis Taylor: musical cuz I remember loving it. And I was like, "Oh, you did theater?

Tyram: actually.

Ellis Taylor: I really love this movie. You made it like five minutes and he's like we have to turn this

Ali Leonard: What? Here it is.

Ellis Taylor: off. I was

Christopher Hooper: Who's your uh high school theater

Ali Leonard: Grind.

Ellis Taylor: like, Keith, he did he did

Christopher Hooper: husband? Oh. Oh, it's the same husband as your normal

Ellis Taylor: theater in high school. I have one husband. Yeah. Only

Christopher Hooper: husband.

Tyram: It wasn't a

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: separate husband who was the high school theater husband. It was her husband who did high

Ellis Taylor: one. Yeah. It's not my secret husband that I'm hiding over

Justin Hale: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I don't know. It was like work husband, high school theater

Tyram: school theater.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah,

Ellis Taylor: there. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: husband. Yeah.

Tyram: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: I like games.

Ellis Taylor: No. No.

Christopher Hooper: Um, you make it through the checkpoint. Quite a tangent.

Tyram: Yeah, it was a fun

Ali Leonard: I don't

Christopher Hooper: Um, um, you make it through the checkpoint

Ellis Taylor: Yay!

Christopher Hooper: into a little gradle and, um, you can see that this is basically a town made for merchants. uh basically the the last stop before

Tyram: tangent.

Ali Leonard: know.

Christopher Hooper: um Elderan. And so um weirdly it's like it's like kind of full of like markets and stuff of like goods that aren't exactly legal in Elderand but like are not seriously like policed in the countryside. So, it's like drugs and there's like different types of like armaments and stuff like firearms, things like that. Um there's a lot of like mercenary groups in and around town that are like gearing up and like uh trading and and um basically preparing for jobs in and around the city.

Tyram: I think it's a party. You know, if we gave these other mercenaries food poisoning, it would make our job a lot

Ellis Taylor: I think we'll be

Tyram: easier.

[02:10:00]

Ellis Taylor: fine. I think we balance the line of overpowered and barely competent very

Tyram: We're deceptively competent, which is what's going to work in

Ellis Taylor: well.

Tyram: our favor here.

Christopher Hooper: Uh um yeah. And uh you see uh in town center there is a huge um like tower like build building. Um probably one of the t tallest

Tyram: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: buildings you've seen in the like the cities you've been so far. Probably like 20 stories tall. Um,

Ali Leonard: What the

Christopher Hooper: and at the base, uh, is a like kind of oldfashioned inn.

Ali Leonard: heck?

Justin Hale: Oops.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and like, uh, in my mind is like an Irish pub uh, style

Ellis Taylor: What?

Christopher Hooper: like entrance and restaurant like brewery area. Um, and above it is like a like

Justin Hale: What's

Christopher Hooper: metal like brutalist tower basically. Um, above it. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. So concrete.

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: That is a position.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: and and uh you see lots of folks coming in and

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Justin Hale: that?

Christopher Hooper: out of the bottom. Um, and there's a sign like midway through the tower that says like little spoon.

Tyram: Wow.

Luke Neverisky: Hello

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: Little back to little spoon again. All right. Is there going to be a little

Ali Leonard: I've heard it

Christopher Hooper: yep. You'll

Tyram: soup? All

Ali Leonard: both ways.

Christopher Hooper: see uh as you walk to the door um

Luke Neverisky: spoon.

Christopher Hooper: you see like just above a door there's like a swinging sign and um it says a little soup and it has a small bowl of soup. It's one of those like wooden signs that like

Tyram: right.

Christopher Hooper: hangs on two hooks and it swings um above the above the entrance. Um, and yeah, who's who's who's in the front of this operation?

Tyram: I could

Ellis Taylor: Oh, in case we need to lie.

Tyram: be. We are under a false identity. So, it does seem like we're going to need to lie

Christopher Hooper: Silus. Um, all right. Well, you go in. Um, it's commotion.

Tyram: some. Although, um Luke, if you want to take point, you can just let me

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Who's taking

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: point?

Luke Neverisky: Uh, also

Christopher Hooper: Three. Okay. All right. Liliana, you

Tyram: know.

Luke Neverisky: I'll take it. I

Christopher Hooper: you lead into this uh into this bar in Irish pub type place. And um there's quite a commotion. There's a lot of different groups all over. It's it's super busy. Um and uh it is

Luke Neverisky: can

Christopher Hooper: it's pretty hard to get to the bar. Uh you see you see probably like 20 different groups and you can tell the distinct groups because they all have like matching uniforms, different vibes. like you see the the one that pops out first. Um, and you can give me a perception check to get even more details, but the first one that pops out to you is this like furry group and they have like pink like dyed furs and they all have like these tails and they're dressed up as like raccoons and cats and things like that. Um, and they have these like great swords mounted to their backs and um, they are in like a one of the front like circular rooms and they're just like um being really loud with

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: like meow. That's what we'll do. Meow. Uh you did you did you do that uh perception check

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I got

Christopher Hooper: 21. Um with that you see um looking out you kind of make a lay of the land um that there huge range of

Luke Neverisky: 21.

Christopher Hooper: different mercenary groups all here. Um, and it seems like most of the people in this bar are around trying to be ostentatious and like showing themselves up to try to get hired. Um, and so you see all sorts of different approaches to this. Some are being just like bombastic like this furry cat animal group. You see some that are like four like ranger brooding types in like the darkest corner. Um you see some that are like incredibly charismatic like playing

Ali Leonard: Thank

Christopher Hooper: games and poker uh in the mid mid areas. And then you just see like kind of a smattering of like individuals and duos at the bar like just drinking and kind of moping around.

Ali Leonard: you.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and you see there are several um, uh, female bartenders just like making the round, serving drinks. Um, it's it's about it's just before dinner, so it's like 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Um, that you've gotten

Luke Neverisky: Is there besides the bartender, are there is there anybody else of seeming like authority

Christopher Hooper: here.

Luke Neverisky: or like anything like

Christopher Hooper: Um, you see, no, not really. Um,

Luke Neverisky: that?

Christopher Hooper: it seems like it's it's still early enough that it's working hours, so you haven't yet got the like end of shift uh coming in, but you kind of get that this is not a local place.

Ellis Taylor: Um, Finnegan,

Christopher Hooper: No,

Luke Neverisky: Is that what we're looking

Ellis Taylor: do we know do we know what he looks like? Did we ever actually meet him

Christopher Hooper: Fennean. I think you've met

Tyram: No, it was fine. We need

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, that's fine. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: city?

Tyram: to talk to somebody named Paul about signing up as a mercenary

Christopher Hooper: Oh, right. Gotcha. These people love to tell them uh tell you their life story.

Tyram: group.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Tyram: He got out of it pretty quick.

Christopher Hooper: Good.

Tyram: It wasn't too

Luke Neverisky: You were giving him your life, your or at least your fake life

Christopher Hooper: Good. Oh,

Tyram: bad. I'm an expert at coming up with fake life stories. I mean, hell, you all think my name is Silus. No, no, that's come up

Luke Neverisky: story. What? You wouldn't lie to me, would

Christopher Hooper: yeah.

Tyram: before you guys. I think I don't know if you remember it, but Crowley told you that's my real

Luke Neverisky: you?

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I know. I have I was trying to see if I remembered it. I have it written down

Christopher Hooper: Well, we got a big day

Tyram: name. Uh, it was

Ellis Taylor: somewhere. Like

Christopher Hooper: tomorrow.

Ellis Taylor: William,

Christopher Hooper: Well, we got a big day tomorrow. You all

Ellis Taylor: Walter

Christopher Hooper: ready?

Tyram: Walter. Well, it yeah,

Luke Neverisky: I think so. Anything we should

Tyram: like you've got your uh ear to the ground around here. Anything we should know or are we just going over to Paul and signing up as a mer group and just like what all do we have to do to win

Luke Neverisky: know?

Ellis Taylor: Well, I I think Paul was going to sign you up for the military,

Tyram: patronage? Oh, I thought he was like in charge of recruiting mercs. My

Ellis Taylor: honey.

Tyram: bad. Uh well

Ali Leonard: No, he was just if you want to join the

Christopher Hooper: Are you going to join the army?

Tyram: then yeah, f*** Paul. Yeah.

Ali Leonard: army.

Christopher Hooper: Okay, great. Uh because we've got another thing going on. Um yeah, so um there's a uh Lord Bradicus. He's um he's hiring mercenary folks. Try to catch a uh artifact nearby. There's a um an old ruin. It's a old library

Tyram: No.

Christopher Hooper: that uh used to be part of a

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: college. It's uh buried under rubble now, but there's some incredible artifacts down there he wants us to get. Now, Lord Bradus is a bit of a uh uh how should I say this? He loves the show and he is quite frankly hoping that many of us die. So, we need to play this interestingly. We need to give a

Tyram: Wow. Thank

Christopher Hooper: show, but we need to do the job. And I think the way this plays out is going to be

Tyram: you.

Christopher Hooper: kind of Not so great. We're going to see a lot of other mercenary groups probably get the uh the axe. This um this ruin is uh said to be haunted and not only said there's reports uh undead folks uh trapped down there. There was a big plague back in the day. Um, they uh trapped people down there and uh I think something's getting I think uh some scary entities are getting drawn by these artifacts. It's kind of like a magnet. Uh and so all sorts of things are getting drawn to it. So, I think uh the Lord Ratakus, I think he's um I think he's got like some um little uh robots or something. He's uh going to try to record the whole thing and watch it on one of these um these uh detached video devices things. Uh watch it uh at his amusement. So, that's sort of the game we're playing. It's not good, but uh it's one of our best ends into the

Tyram: What's the objective in the ruins? is we supposed to collect the artifact or just defeat the other

Christopher Hooper: city. That's right. There's a artifact and whichever team comes back with the artifact uh gets the contract. And it's a big contract for five years.

Tyram: teams and this will get us access to all the places we need to get

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's

Tyram: to in the city.

Christopher Hooper: right. We'll have them we'll basically be

Tyram: Okay.

Ellis Taylor: See what is

Christopher Hooper: Lord Bradicus' henchmen. Um probably have to uh you know follow him around when he do his errands and s*** like that. But all we need is inside the city with our gear.

Tyram: You say we are you

Ellis Taylor: the

Tyram: joining us like as a mercenary or you like our manager? Like what are you supposed to

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I'm joining as a mercenary. I've got uh gear uh that we need to make explosives. Uh the rare

Tyram: be?

Christopher Hooper: elements. Um everything else we should be able to get into the city. And from there, we'll be able to construct it and uh place it at the sights that we need to blow up.

Tyram: Not to boast or

Luke Neverisky: Are

Tyram: anything, but um I would definitely pick Bruce's brain here about the explosives. He might, you know, be able to help you come up with some some real

Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah, Brew. I've

Tyram: uh some real ground pounders, you

Christopher Hooper: heard about you. You're big explosive

Tyram: know.

Justin Hale: Brew

Luke Neverisky: you

Justin Hale: uh like pulls away from tinkering with the grenade launcher and like turns with it and goes, "What?

Christopher Hooper: guy. Yeah. Well, um, that'll be good

Justin Hale: Huh?

Christopher Hooper: because, um, you know, otherwise I'd have to plant and make all the explosives myself, but we've got, I think, five sites in the city we're hoping to blow. So, if you can help me with that, that'd be

Justin Hale: Say no

Christopher Hooper: killer. Well, I do need to say a little bit more if you need any more,

Ali Leonard: Yeah, but say a little bit more. Yeah.

[02:30:00]

Justin Hale: more. Say

Christopher Hooper: J.

Tyram: I guess

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: No, just a little

Justin Hale: no more. Say

Tyram: try to say like the minimum amount more that you need to

Justin Hale: zero.

Tyram: say, is that a good compromise? You

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Just say what you need to

Christopher Hooper: Well, see what did you just

Justin Hale: I mean, I feel like I feel like I said say no more, but if you need more

Ali Leonard: say.

Luke Neverisky: bit.

Justin Hale: information, whatever. That's fine. Say say a little more. I guess it's

Christopher Hooper: say? All right. I I'll I'll uh I'll take it in mind,

Justin Hale: statel stupid.

Christopher Hooper: but I'll try to give you all the information you need and then I

Tyram: think

Justin Hale: Whatever.

Christopher Hooper: I'll I even feel this explanation is is

Justin Hale: Go

Christopher Hooper: extra. All right, I'm getting mixed signals. So anyway, I'll um so uh the location that we're meeting them, we can't actually go into the city till we have the contract. So, we're supposed to meet him right at the city gates

Justin Hale: on.

Christopher Hooper: tomorrow morning. Um, I would suggest many of the mercenary parties are in this

Tyram: I was just about to ask about that. We saw some cat people and some poker bros and all

Christopher Hooper: hotel. The cats are

Tyram: that sort of crap apparently.

Christopher Hooper: here. Oh, damn it.

Tyram: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: Are we good or something? Cuz they kind of freaked me

Ellis Taylor: Are we back to the food

Tyram: I never was off of the food

Ellis Taylor: poisoning

Tyram: poisoning

Ali Leonard: out.

Christopher Hooper: We could poison this kitty

Tyram: plan. We've got an infinite amount of

Luke Neverisky: Mhm.

Tyram: brown. It's practically done for us. The food poisoning

Ellis Taylor: plan?

Tyram: plan. Not everyone

Justin Hale: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. What are you trying to say

Christopher Hooper: cat.

Tyram: can hold their brown brew. It's a It's an acquired

Justin Hale: here? I'm not I'm not the big fan of this s*** thing on brew day that we're having

Tyram: skill. It's not s******* on you. It's s******* on the

Justin Hale: today.

Tyram: weaklings who can't hold their

Justin Hale: But then also uh El Smith being a major a****** and calling me

Ali Leonard: Yeah. I was calling you young. I was not calling you

Justin Hale: short every five

Tyram: brown. El's bits on a bit of a hot. She's

Ali Leonard: short.

Justin Hale: minutes. Called me more about my size than my

Tyram: she's feeling a bit big in her britches. She just had her like first flirting session

Luke Neverisky: There's a little

Christopher Hooper: just flirted with Lady

Tyram: with Lady Viper. You know, she came off of that

Ali Leonard: Oh my

Christopher Hooper: Viper. Wow. All

Ali Leonard: god. No. They were trying to set me up with Lady Viper. We had a

Justin Hale: age.

Tyram: date. Take out the words

Ali Leonard: pre-dawn

Tyram: trying to and yeah, that's an accurate uh description of the

Ali Leonard: dinner.

Luke Neverisky: float.

Christopher Hooper: right. A little

Tyram: situation. It

Ali Leonard: Brew landed in her lap like a baby. I don't know how that

Christopher Hooper: uh Little role playing. All

Ali Leonard: helped.

Justin Hale: wasn't the part of the plan. It just went

Christopher Hooper: right. Interesting. You play a little house

Tyram: helped. You know, it was a good barometer. The fact that it didn't completely ruin everything shows that we're in pretty good

Christopher Hooper: then. Well, I've never been at a pre-dawn dinner with

Tyram: shape. You

Justin Hale: wrong.

Christopher Hooper: her, so must been pretty

Ali Leonard: I think we're in town. We were in town and she wanted to tell us about the mission

Christopher Hooper: special. All

Tyram: know, she could have just sent an email, but she did a pre-dawn

Ali Leonard: or whatever.

Christopher Hooper: right.

Ali Leonard: Well, they don't have AIM in town

Tyram: dinner. She could have written a

Ali Leonard: apparently. So, I don't know what to tell you. She could have just messaged

Tyram: letter then, whatever the non anacronoristic way of saying it

Ali Leonard: me. Yeah, I would

Tyram: is.

Ali Leonard: have come off way better in a

Justin Hale: All I'm saying is nothing

Ali Leonard: letter. It wasn't night. It was pretty

Justin Hale: good ever happens at

Ali Leonard: done.

Justin Hale: night. That's basically

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's a pretty gray

Ali Leonard: I don't know what to tell you,

Justin Hale: night.

Christopher Hooper: area. I think it was up to your uh interpretation whether that was night or

Ali Leonard: man.

Christopher Hooper: morning.

Tyram: You know, Finn, again, I'm going to go ahead and say you're my favorite member of the Twilight Company that we've met. The favorite henchman in the Twilight Company that we met so

Ali Leonard: Thank you. I was about to freaking

Tyram: far.

Ali Leonard: say that's little

Ellis Taylor: Except you got my little George in a lot

Tyram: Oh, I don't like George very much at

Ellis Taylor: of trouble. But hey, he Wait, what was wrong with

Ali Leonard: We had to save him again, but yeah, he's

Ellis Taylor: just Yes, he's fine.

Christopher Hooper: right? He

Ali Leonard: fine.

Ellis Taylor: He's safe in High Forge. We're good, I

Christopher Hooper: uh he used to talk about you a lot. Uh Olivia, he looks up to you, you

Ellis Taylor: think. Yeah. And yet he got involved with the Twilight Company. I don't granted I'm here too. This is seems like a very weird direction for me,

Justin Hale: Toeer.

Christopher Hooper: know.

Ellis Taylor: but cop well I'm also going

Christopher Hooper: Why

Ellis Taylor: to be turned terrorist.

Christopher Hooper: we do what we need to to uh to do what's right. Right.

Christopher Hooper: even I think everyone was pretty confounded. They're like,

Luke Neverisky: is.

Christopher Hooper: "Uh, hey, there's a second moon. Who knew I'd see three different moons in my lifetime?" That's right. Confusing to me,

Ellis Taylor: Well, it's not it's just the same moon that's back, guys. So, it's really still just two moons, but

Christopher Hooper: too. Yeah. You know, I heard about there's this old guy

Ellis Taylor: okay.

Christopher Hooper: named Busius and he had a ship and there's this idea that if you completely replace the

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Tyram: Well, if you have any contacts here in the city, we um we did have a guy who used to be part of Elder Ran's

Christopher Hooper: credentials.

Tyram: army. Um he he he's a defector and he let us know some people we might want to try to reach out to and I like handed him the list from

Ellis Taylor: did. It seems like it was definitely at the very

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. It's a widget set, you

Ellis Taylor: dangerous

Tyram: place, but he has no ability to follow up on what he's trying to

Ali Leonard: ambition. He doesn't train at all. He just is like,

Christopher Hooper: Well, uh, I

Ali Leonard: "Oh, I can do it.

Ali Leonard: No, it's a memorial. Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: much.

Christopher Hooper: I mean, I guess it

Tyram: ghost, that is dedication right

Tyram: there. What he would have

Ali Leonard: Maddie. You have to remember him.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I

Ali Leonard: He was not very good. He died during this
