Christopher Hooper: for what? Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. I'll put these things up, but I would love help with the I don't know. I don't think it I don't think it can. Yeah. Your what? Your light stick. You remember I think we put it in your nap bag. Hello. I realized I uh don't think I've
Tyram: Did one
Christopher Hooper: been in D and D for a while. I realized I don't think I've been at D and D for a
Tyram: know? Yeah. Um I think we Yeah, you weren't there last. Uh I think we were canceled the week before. So Oh
Christopher Hooper: while. Yeah, exactly.
Tyram: well.
Christopher Hooper: Or Yeah, I was back and then I left again.
Tyram: I don't
Christopher Hooper: How y'all doing? Good.
Justin Hale: Yeah. Doing all right.
Christopher Hooper: Justin, I am trying to get
Justin Hale: Are you wrecking my
Christopher Hooper: Claude I'm trying to get Claude to freaking publish
Tyram: know. The ones from like two weeks ago that we never got a
Christopher Hooper: these
Tyram: recap from.
Christopher Hooper: notes. Yeah.
Justin Hale: base? Am I out of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Uh, I think something else
Justin Hale: credits? What does it
Christopher Hooper: is
Justin Hale: say in the repo
Tyram: I assumed it was Justin's fault this whole
Christopher Hooper: I think
Justin Hale: actions? It usually is because I don't pay my uh my AI
Tyram: time.
Christopher Hooper: um I think it's uh
Justin Hale: bill. Let's
Christopher Hooper: it I should have fixed it. Um I should have fixed it. And I think it just hasn't re-triggered generate yet. So I might just have to re regenerate
Justin Hale: see. Let's see. This one this morning died because
Christopher Hooper: it. Yeah, I think it was like a lint
Justin Hale: of what? Oh, yeah. It's a uh it's a reference error. It tried to make a reference to a file that
Christopher Hooper: error. Yeah. So, I think I fixed
Justin Hale: doesn't exist
Christopher Hooper: that. And I'm trying to make sure that All right. I think I'm going to try to re rerigger
Justin Hale: probably. We can allow broken links. That is a thing that can happen in
Christopher Hooper: it. Yeah, that was my fix was turn it to a
Justin Hale: Docisaurus. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: warning though. Once it's a warning, I don't know if it'll ever get
Justin Hale: Cool.
Christopher Hooper: fixed.
Justin Hale: No. Well, more so like it's not going to fix the fact that there's a link that's missing because it's trying to reference a link that it thinks is real, but it's it's not just going to like ambitiously create that link as well. I've I've tried that and uh that soaks up
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, it does
Justin Hale: a lot of tokens. Yeah, I uh I've been trying to make the token usage more efficient because like with every new because I had it
Christopher Hooper: it. Yeah.
Justin Hale: set to just auto uh auto agent and when it
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: switched to Opus it went from being like a
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: dollar a session to $5 a session. And I was like, whoa, hold on
Christopher Hooper: And I was going to like like try to at least do some of my stuff uh because I you know I just have like a subscription that I don't use a lot but then I started coding up this game and it's been using all my tokens.
Justin Hale: Now yeah, it will do
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. It's like if you don't have a project,
Justin Hale: that.
Christopher Hooper: lots of usage, but as soon as you have a
Justin Hale: Yeah. Dang, the camera's all shrinky gross. That better? It's a little better. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: project. Yeah,
Justin Hale: yeah. The last time it ran was the
Christopher Hooper: I'm triggering you now. Oh, it failed
Justin Hale: eighth.
Christopher Hooper: immediately. Great, great, great, great. Oh my god. What the f*** do you want from me, Hilo? Damn it. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Justin Hale: the transcript parall directory
Christopher Hooper: That shouldn't be
Justin Hale: removed. So inside of a runner home runner work moonfall box. I don't know what that means. I
Christopher Hooper: removed. I wonder if I wonder if
Justin Hale: don't know why it's trying to go into a
Christopher Hooper: I messed something up. I'll go look. We're still waiting on Ellis, right? Okay, great.
Justin Hale: different she's going to be
Tyram: Oh, okay. So, Justin,
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Tyram: fun angle. If we uh are going to do the whole like uh
Justin Hale: late.
Tyram: we're the world's greatest detectives thing. Um we interview Olivia to see if she wants to be the intern detective for our like detective
Justin Hale: Okay, I like
Tyram: agency. just like set up like a folding table and like we'll be like so what are your
Justin Hale: this. What do you What do you bring to the
Tyram: credentials? Yeah, it pays
Christopher Hooper: Well,
Justin Hale: table? This job pays
Tyram: an
Justin Hale: nothing. There you go. Experience. And uh what's the other one they say?
Tyram: experience
Justin Hale: Um exposure exposure
Tyram: opportunity like
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Justin Hale: if you're doing like social media stuff. Oh my gosh. Whenever I try to go to the stupid uh developers portal
Christopher Hooper: okay.
Justin Hale: for Anthropic, it's like, "No, you must mean Claude. Go to your Claude account.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Justin Hale: You want your claw?" He's like, "No, I need my developer account, Bro, oh platform.claude. Okay, f*** off. Honestly, if that's what it is now, that's way easier because it didn't used to be that. My balance is low, of
Christopher Hooper: Duh. Hey, baby. I'm sorry. But baby, don't
Justin Hale: course.
Christopher Hooper: worry.
Justin Hale: Let's see.
Christopher Hooper: like for
Justin Hale: Where's my usage? Look at my usage. Um, let's let's change my monthly spend limit from $200,000 down to like
Christopher Hooper: me.
[00:10:08]
Justin Hale: $20. Change it to 10 actually. May 23 it was 10 bucks. I haven't topped it up since then. May, June, July. So that's it's almost three months of usage on 10 bucks. That's not bad. I'm going to go ahead and buy some more
Christopher Hooper: Feed the
Justin Hale: credits. Feed the
Tyram: Eat
Christopher Hooper: machine. How many credits do you
Justin Hale: machine. Uh, it usually uses anywhere from$1 to5 every
Christopher Hooper: need? Okay, so you
Justin Hale: session.
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: need like 20 bucks a month basically.
Justin Hale: Um, I've been trying to keep it lower than that. I've been writing optimization scripts into the web to lower it because it used to be like a dollar per session if that. Um, how do I see my usage? Here we go. Um, token volume, 200,000 tokens in the last
Christopher Hooper: Did I do
Justin Hale: seven
Tyram: Hey
Justin Hale: days. Yeah, that was all two days.
Christopher Hooper: that today? Yeah. Did I do
Tyram: brother.
Christopher Hooper: that? Okay. I um
Tyram: That's very
Christopher Hooper: will Oh,
Justin Hale: Get
Tyram: hurtful. I
Christopher Hooper: fine. That's fine. I didn't want to talk to Ted
Justin Hale: wrecked, nerd. Right. Yeah. So, uh I moved it down to prefer haiku and sonnet depending
Tyram: got just been
Christopher Hooper: either.
Justin Hale: on what it's what like being asked to do. So, it
Tyram: doing all this nerd talk. I haven't messed up much so
Justin Hale: used
Tyram: far.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, I'm
Justin Hale: it 56 cents today.
Christopher Hooper: sorry. We're trying to fix the
Justin Hale: over.
Christopher Hooper: notes. No, we're just trying to fix the notes. We're just trying to fix the
Justin Hale: Okay. Our our DND notes utilizes cloud AI to write the
Christopher Hooper: notes.
Justin Hale: actual
Christopher Hooper: supposedly uh um Google is transcribing and
Justin Hale: notes.
Christopher Hooper: will generate notes for this
Tyram: Next.
Christopher Hooper: um notes for this this Yeah. Are you'll you'll be like a caption like is this AI? No. There's no way. I I am very interested in this like party journal. Did y'all Did y'all look at that at all?
Justin Hale: The party journal sounds cool.
Tyram: No, I haven't had a chance to look at it. I tried to pull up on my phone at work, but it wouldn't open. So, I had to wait till I got home and then I forgot. So, I'm not
Christopher Hooper: Um, oh, wouldn't open on your phone.
Tyram: like signed in on day and day beyond on my phone and like every time I tried
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: is more annoying than it's worth. So,
Christopher Hooper: Uh
Justin Hale: Hey Toeer, did you um did you give any thought to that junk works thing that I've
Christopher Hooper: yeah,
Justin Hale: seen? Okay,
Christopher Hooper: no.
Tyram: There's a bunch of vicious
Justin Hale: fine. That's fine. You hate me. It's okay.
Tyram: denials going on tonight already. We haven't even started playing
Christopher Hooper: Sorry.
Tyram: yet.
Christopher Hooper: Nope. Sorry. I I
Justin Hale: No, it's fine. I
Christopher Hooper: think I read
Justin Hale: I sent to this whole like homebrew thing of like easy ways for me to like accumulate junk and make cool things out of junk and he was like, "Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: it. Yeah. I was I was like, "Yeah, okay."
Justin Hale: okay." Yeah, that's exactly what I
Christopher Hooper: Right. Wait, what else
Justin Hale: meant.
Christopher Hooper: did you eat from me?
Justin Hale: I don't need
Christopher Hooper: No, no. I'm going to look at it right now.
Justin Hale: anything. They are not.
Christopher Hooper: Yep. Yeah, I
Justin Hale: No, you're
Christopher Hooper: am. What did I
Justin Hale: not. No. Right. It's too late. Don't
Christopher Hooper: say? Um, I didn't even
Justin Hale: look at it
Christopher Hooper: I didn't respond. I gave you a heart emoji. I'm
Justin Hale: now.
Christopher Hooper: sorry, Justin. Okay. Sorry,
Justin Hale: Emojis mean things.
Christopher Hooper: Justin.
Justin Hale: To
Christopher Hooper: Um, we can try it. Why don't we try
Justin Hale: You don't even know what
Christopher Hooper: it? No, it looks
Justin Hale: it is. No, you don't know what it
Christopher Hooper: good. It's
Justin Hale: is. You have no idea what it
Christopher Hooper: visually um very nice. So, probably is
Justin Hale: is. All right. So, so note for future self is just make
Christopher Hooper: good.
Justin Hale: something look really good in PDF format and write
Christopher Hooper: I literally I was
Justin Hale: gamebreaking homebrew into it and Toeer will
Christopher Hooper: giving like a talk to some like exec level people and I'm like one of the hardest things about AI generated stuff is it looks really good but could be like total garbage
Justin Hale: say
Christopher Hooper: in it. So you actually do have to like quality do have
Justin Hale: Uhhuh.
Christopher Hooper: quality checks and stuff. Um, oh, great. There's a here's a summary. Oh, interesting.
Justin Hale: Absolutely.
Christopher Hooper: I mean, I gotta think that like that stuff is right now like very very hard to uh to still generate. Like the visual stuff is just still struggles on a lot. Uh-huh. Mhm. Mhm. Oh, interesting. Okay. That makes sense. Do you know what model you're using? Yeah, cuz they they're definitely like niche especially in like image generation stuff.
Justin Hale: AI for software engineering it makes finding
Christopher Hooper: All
Justin Hale: things really easy. I will I will on that one because like I was trying to find a way to like validate um certain content that comes through for marketing and it was like yeah you can totally do that with Contentful and post and pointed me to like a plugin that was already doing that. So it like sent me a time of just like weeding through GitHub uh projects to find that. So like that part's
Christopher Hooper: right.
Justin Hale: nice.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. I thought it I thought that might Yeah. Okay. A few a couple questions, Justin. At level
Justin Hale: We're not We're not taking any questions at this time.
Christopher Hooper: 11, how how much how much scrap can
Justin Hale: Sorry. What's
Christopher Hooper: you obtain at level
Justin Hale: up? Uh, I don't remember.
Christopher Hooper: 11?
[00:20:08]
Justin Hale: I don't think the amount was an issue. I think it was more so the limitation of how much I can make. So, like I can like uh I can hoard a bunch of scrap, but it takes a lot of scrap to make the the makeshift bombs. And like the higher they are, the more scrap it takes. But then also, if you notice, the higher level ones, they don't keep. They don't have like a shelf life. So like some of them
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: I can keep forever, but then the other ones it's like if I don't use them in a day, I have to remake them so that I don't have a like a a stockpile of crazy ass
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, like right now you could do tier three once per long rest. You could do like a fireball from but it says like three scrap, two scrap, one scrap as like a
Justin Hale: bombs. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: currency.
Justin Hale: Yeah. To keep it like low and
Christopher Hooper: Um, so one thing I'm thinking about is like how much scrap would you have on you at any given time, right?
Justin Hale: easy. on my person. Probably not a lot, but like if we're like at the van or something, that's where I was thinking the Well, possibly in like the the different uh bags of holdings that we have too could
Christopher Hooper: I kind of want to do it um like uh
Justin Hale: hold
Christopher Hooper: I think it's Blades in the Dark where um it's kind of like uh you have like a retrospective instead of having to pre-prepare everything. You kind of have a limit on
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: like the retrospective amount that and then you do a montage of like how you prepared for this moment basically. Um, and so it it's one of my favorite ways to deal with like inventory management, which is
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: that like basically you have a you know either a medium pack, a large pack that
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: may cause like um, you know, disadvantage on stealth or a small pack that gives you more maybe more advantage on stealth but like allows you fewer like a smaller amount. Um, and so I feel like we could probably do like you have a scrap bag and so you can just tell me what size bag you're starting out either small, medium, or large and we'll equate that to how much scrap you're
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: carrying um at any given time. And then we'll do the roles uh for like you know what what level you were able to build right before the mission to have available for you then right so kind of like montage retrospectively. Does that make sense? So
Justin Hale: Okay. Uh
Christopher Hooper: basically like um like if you have a large bag we we'll say you have six scrap. So that would allow you to
Justin Hale: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: do one of each cure. And then um and then if you need any of those items during the mission, you would then do your your DC roll, right? Um and then be able to like
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: choose from that. Is that going to be on your arcana? Oh, artificial spell DC.
Justin Hale: Uh
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay.
Justin Hale: yeah. Yeah. It's it's based I think similarly to how like spells would work because it's basically using those same
Christopher Hooper: I think this is
Justin Hale: spell list as like wizards would use or
Christopher Hooper: almost equivalent to your arcana. What the
Justin Hale: whatever.
Christopher Hooper: um what what you're rolling basically. Um cool. Okay. So, we'll just have you roll Arcana and that will allow you to like retrospectively like make one of these from the catalog. And Cool. I like that because I I've been
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: I think I've been uh hoping that you would like bring more like creative explosives, but I think mechanically it's like kind of difficult. So, um
Justin Hale: Yeah, that's what I was trying to figure out with this is something that's like not a lot of like
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Mhm.
Justin Hale: maintenance upkeep for you or me, you know,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um
Justin Hale: cuz like especially reading through like the dungeon crawler Carl books and stuff. It's like, oh yeah, you can see where like the lit RPG section of this makes sense, but like he's constantly just like obsessing over finding stuff and being like
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: cataloging away of like, I can make something out of this later, you know? Which is fine
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: in that type of setting, but in our games, like we have so much s*** going on, I don't want to bog people down with that kind of uh
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I guess one question would be if you want a large scrap bag for six scrap, you would need to take
Justin Hale: mechanics. Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: disadvantage on like stealth at least. Uh, and probably probably any decks deck skills. Um, and medium for for no effect. Medium or small for no
Justin Hale: Okay. Okay. Trying to get my stupid character sheet pulled up. Get up
Christopher Hooper: effect.
Justin Hale: here. Yeah. All right, that makes
Christopher Hooper: So, I think for if you want a medium pack, I think we'll put the scrap at five. I think that's
Justin Hale: sense.
Christopher Hooper: good.
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: So basically basically once per long rest you can do you can use up to five scraps if you have a medium bag type of thing. Cool.
Justin Hale: Mhm. And then I think it was the tier one were the
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: only ones that were stable. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: So basically like if I if I make like a three and a
Christopher Hooper: Um
Justin Hale: two, if I don't use them by the next session, they're gone. If I make any
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh. Okay.
Justin Hale: tier ones, I'm able to keep those. Are you cool with
Christopher Hooper: I'm cool with that. But it basically uses up one of your scrap in your scrap bag.
Justin Hale: that? Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: So yeah, that's fine. Like you just
Justin Hale: Right.
Christopher Hooper: permanently carry like
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: five
Justin Hale: Oh, you Okay, I see what you're saying. So, like whatever I make out of the scrap is then replaced inside of the
Christopher Hooper: flares. Yeah. Does that
Justin Hale: scrap backpack. Okay,
Christopher Hooper: work?
Justin Hale: gotcha. Okay. Um, yeah, that's fine. My my thought process was that if I'm to make something out of it, it becomes comes an item. It doesn't have to be in the scrap
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: bag. But like I said, the only ones that would survive that are just the tier ones. The tier two and three are just uh they would be inert after a
Christopher Hooper: Um, um, yeah, let me think about that. I think for now we'll have it where it takes up one of your scrap in your scrap bag.
Justin Hale: day. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and then we'll think about it from
Justin Hale: Yeah. No, that's that's fine with me. Um I I tried to make like the tier ones more utility, not like gamebreaking style things. So more like first levelcantrip
Christopher Hooper: there.
Justin Hale: style stuff. Um which was kind of the whole point
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: of that because like the the faximile of that being a cantrip to be like spammed was the like keep forever mentality. um for how that was built, but I'm I'm happy to try
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I guess I
Justin Hale: it the way you're talking about too because that would make it
Christopher Hooper: guess like a a bit of like you know if I if we were to publish these rules right and like these to be balanced then like there's so many ways to like abuse a
Justin Hale: easier.
Christopher Hooper: like items persisting forever type of thing like oh you can just like sell these and make a ton of money or like you know the the spam the spamming aspect of it
Tyram: You already gave him an infinite brown slushy machine. That ship
Christopher Hooper: But I think
Tyram: has
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I
Justin Hale: I was gonna say I have no I have no want or need to do that. I have infinite slushie. I'm I'm about to break your world just by flooding
Tyram: sailed.
Christopher Hooper: know. Listen, you know, that's the that's the thing. Like I got to deal with one flood at a time. I gave it to him with the idea that no one wants to buy brown, even in iced form.
Justin Hale: it. I
Tyram: as soon as we make it to
Christopher Hooper: So, you know,
Justin Hale: don't have to buy it. I don't have to buy it at
Tyram: Goblinville, we're going to f****** make just a mint, you
Justin Hale: all. Hell
Tyram: know? Yeah,
Justin Hale: yeah. Are any of y'all DBZ nerds or is it just
Tyram: I'd say so.
Christopher Hooper: Um, you know, is is turn off your
Justin Hale: me? Come on. Come on. Filter.
Tyram: I see Dragon Ball
Christopher Hooper: filter.
Justin Hale: Damn it.
Christopher Hooper: Converse like
Tyram: Z. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: shoes. Oh, a shoes
Tyram: sick. Oh, that's
Christopher Hooper: box. Oh, wait. What's that
Tyram: red. I think that's like the Saiyan royal family symbol, right?
Christopher Hooper: symbol? Is it?
Justin Hale: Yes. The saying symbol. Does
Tyram: Yeah,
Justin Hale: this does this
Tyram: that's like the Saiyan royal family symbol, right? And that's like Vegeta's scouter.
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Oh,
Justin Hale: help? Yeah. These are Vegeta
Tyram: Yeah. Hell yeah.
Christopher Hooper: nice. Oh, there it is. Yeah.
Justin Hale: shoes.
Christopher Hooper: Those are
[00:30:08]
Justin Hale: Are they sick?
Tyram: Vegeta is the best character. So
Justin Hale: They uh had to wait in a virtual line for these. I didn't even know you did like virtual cues for these types of things. They uh they had a
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Justin Hale: Goku, Frieza, Vegeta, Cell,
Tyram: yeah, I think he made the
Justin Hale: and then Shenron.
Tyram: correct choice.
Justin Hale: I I'm a big Vegeta fan, so that was going to be
Tyram: I love Goku, but I feel like Vegeta's just objectively a better
Justin Hale: my choice
Tyram: character.
Christopher Hooper: s***. I feel like the colors for Cell would be pretty
Justin Hale: regardless. The Hold on. I'm gonna bring it
Christopher Hooper: cool. Oh, actually, no. I would want Frieza. Those are dope.
Justin Hale: up. The Frieza ones are the ones that
Tyram: I feel like
Christopher Hooper: Those are
Justin Hale: people are freaking out about.
Tyram: colors probably look really cool. They're like I'm sure they're like white and
Christopher Hooper: sick.
Justin Hale: Um,
Tyram: purple.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. And like uh Piccolo's is also pretty
Justin Hale: yeah. Is it going to let me screen
Tyram: I feel like
Christopher Hooper: cool. I can if you
Justin Hale: share?
Tyram: with Piccolo, like Piccolo is incredibly cool, but he gets to have his like
Christopher Hooper: want this,
Tyram: big moment at like the beginning of Dragon Ball Z and then he never really does anything else
Christopher Hooper: right? Yeah.
Tyram: after that, you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. How do
Justin Hale: No.
Tyram: know? I mean, he has it better than the
Christopher Hooper: I How do I change this view? Hide filter. There we
Tyram: poor humans, but still.
Christopher Hooper: go.
Justin Hale: So, the first couple are
Tyram: Yeah, it just becomes the Saiyan
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, really?
Justin Hale: design your own. There
Christopher Hooper: Okay. These are sick. Oh, those are the
Justin Hale: you go. Uh, those are still those are
Christopher Hooper: Goku ones. That's pretty
Justin Hale: the Yeah. So, that's the
Tyram: show. Is that
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Justin Hale: the Cell ones, the Goku
Christopher Hooper: Um, this
Justin Hale: ones. Those are custom as
Christopher Hooper: grilling, let's
Justin Hale: well. It's It was basically just those first
Tyram: Krillin? Who's pink? Oh, was that bad?
Christopher Hooper: see.
Justin Hale: six. Pink is
Tyram: Oh, boom. Yeah. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, those are
Justin Hale: Boo is Boo.
Christopher Hooper: cool. Yeah, boot is pretty
Tyram: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Uh that's the one that everyone freaked out
Tyram: I mean, it's not not
Christopher Hooper: cool. I think that's pretty cool. The black with
Justin Hale: about. Those sold out like immediately. Yeah, they sold out
Christopher Hooper: the Yeah,
Justin Hale: immediately.
Christopher Hooper: these the
Justin Hale: The Goku ones have like that signature look for
Tyram: cool. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: red. These are the ones you got.
Justin Hale: DBZ.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, those look those look really nice. Does it look as denim
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. I love
Christopher Hooper: in real life as it looks on the this?
Justin Hale: those. No, it's more blue
Christopher Hooper: Okay, that's a Yeah, still cool. It would
Justin Hale: fabric style. Still cool, but
Christopher Hooper: have been cool. Yeah, I really like the denim look that it looks like here. This
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: is kind of stupid. I wish this was
Justin Hale: Yeah, the the cell ones. Yeah, the
Christopher Hooper: better.
Justin Hale: Frieza ones are the ones that everybody's freaking out about. Everyone thinks those are the best. I love the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: the kid Chucks, the Fusion ones. Did you see those, Taylor?
Christopher Hooper: these blue light blue ones
Justin Hale: If you click into them, I think it has them side by
Christopher Hooper: here. Let's
Justin Hale: side. There's uh goaten on one side, Trunks on the
Tyram: No. Oh, that's rad.
Christopher Hooper: see. Oh. Oh,
Justin Hale: other, and then when they put their heels together, it's the
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: nice. That's
Justin Hale: fusion. It's so cool. They ah they don't have the picture in there. Yeah, they have the picture of them. If you go wide with your heels,
Tyram: I feel like Okay, so like
Justin Hale: their their fingers
Tyram: Goten a nothing character. Kid Trunks a nothing character.
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Tyram: Got Tinks f******
Justin Hale: touch. Yeah, everybody everybody's that that way with it. They tried to fix that in uh Dragon Ball
Tyram: rules.
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Justin Hale: Superhero or Dragon Ball Super Superhero. They're uh evidently with Dragon Ball Super 2, they're going to do more with Goten and Trunks as
Tyram: Yeah, that's cool. I appreciated superhero because
Christopher Hooper: really?
Tyram: like it made it gave Piccolo and Gohan the spotlight. I feel like that's so rare nowadays. Like usually it's just like the Goku and Vegeta
Justin Hale: well.
Tyram: show now, you know? Which I like Goku and I like Vegeta, but
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: Yeah. when the anime comes
Tyram: like Dragon Ball definitely like does
Christopher Hooper: Play the
Justin Hale: back.
Tyram: not share spotlight super well. Like so many of the characters are basically
Christopher Hooper: hits.
Tyram: irrelevant like after an arc or
Christopher Hooper: It's funny because
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. When
Christopher Hooper: the best arcs I think are when they focus on like other parts.
Tyram: two.
Christopher Hooper: Like I mean the this the beginning of the Cell Saga where it's like old Trunks like old Trunks with the sword is
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. Like when
Christopher Hooper: so badass. Like still one of my favorite
Justin Hale: the Yeah. Oh, with the
Tyram: Trunks Trunks probably had the best debut of any character. He just shows up and just like
Christopher Hooper: characters. Yeah. Oh
Tyram: stomps all over Frieza.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. And you're like, "You're hoos kid."
Tyram: Yeah. No.
Christopher Hooper: Because they they weren't together, right,
Justin Hale: Androids. They
Tyram: Um they had not yet had any romantic connection when he showed up from the future and said like, "Hey, I'm their
Christopher Hooper: yet at
Tyram: kid." Um but yeah, like the guys
Christopher Hooper: all. Yeah, that was
Justin Hale: right. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: from uh Team Four Star did the Dragon Ball Z bridge series. They did like a a
Christopher Hooper: wild.
Tyram: a countdown of what they think the best arcs were and they put the say in saga where they fight Vegeta and Nappa as their number one. And I I think I tend to agree with that. Like Vegeta is a villain like like Vegeta when he Vegeta was like just
Justin Hale: Okay. Yeah.
Tyram: a straightup villain is like one of the best villains in the show and
Justin Hale: I
Tyram: uh it didn't balance the cast out reasonably well. It's also cool that
Christopher Hooper: I that's one of the reasons why I like the Boo
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: like it did it was the only arc where it was
Christopher Hooper: Saga.
Tyram: a genuine team effort to actually win. Like Vegeta beat Goku and then like Krillin, Gohan, and even Yajirobe are completely necessary in order to
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. Not wrong. It It definitely felt more uh like world
Tyram: win. Yeah.
Justin Hale: ending for for that piece of it. I I think
Christopher Hooper: Interesting.
Justin Hale: the Frieza saga is still my favorite only because of the just like this
Tyram: Yeah, like that was
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah.
Justin Hale: isn't my final form trope, you know?
Tyram: number what they put as number two. The reason the the only things they criticized about it were the fact that like the fight with Goku and Frieza really drags at
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. The earth
Justin Hale: So, the anime is
Tyram: points.
Justin Hale: terrible. The anime is terrible about that. The manga actually moves
Tyram: Yeah.
Justin Hale: at a good speed. When you read it, you're like, "Oh, this is so good." The anime is the absolute worst. So, so Dragon Ball Z Kai is way better about
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: bomb.
Justin Hale: that. going back through and watching Kai, it's like, "Oh, damn. This is the way the anime should have been in the first
Tyram: the but it is also true about like the like the whole like this is even final form like it's super iconic but they abuse the s*** out of that like moving forward. So it was really funny on Dragon Ball Z
Justin Hale: place. They did." Yeah. Yeah. Sort of
Tyram: bridge and like uh like Piccolo shows up against Frieza's second
Justin Hale: set a bad
Tyram: form and like um he takes off his weighted clothes and like Frieza's like how much do those weigh? 100 kilos. Can't you like lift that
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: tone.
Tyram: with your pinky? I mean, what does that even mean anymore? Oh, yeah. I guess that concept did lose all meaning. Well, I've got a new one that's fresh and ripe for abuse. It's called transformation. And spoiler warning, it's not getting old anytime soon. And then he turns third
Justin Hale: Yeah, that's uh that's sort of all the way through super
Tyram: piccolo. Yeah. I mean, like after
Justin Hale: as well.
Tyram: after Frieza, like that was always the culmination of the arc, right? As they unlock the new form, like Gohan go Super Saiyan 2 and that was the climax. That was basically the I win situation for beating
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Yeah. There there was an article I was reading just today that they were talking about how Super Saiyan now with Dragon Ball Super Super
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Saiyan's old news. Like nobody goes Super Saiyan anymore.
Tyram: Cell.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Everyone has their own thing. Goku has Ultra Instinct. Vegeta has Ultra
Tyram: which I I do like that they're just different, right? Like
Justin Hale: Ego. Gohan
Tyram: they're not like like it's not both of them just using the same form. They
Justin Hale: has Yeah,
Tyram: are very distinct from each
Justin Hale: true. Yeah. No, I mean, fair
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. What What is it? I feel like
Justin Hale: enough. Um, but
Christopher Hooper: that there was maybe it's also the Soul Saga where
Tyram: other.
Christopher Hooper: like Gohan like spends so much time trying to learn um Super Saiyan and then like Goten is just like
Justin Hale: that's
Tyram: That was Boo because like Goten wasn't born until after that. But
Christopher Hooper: like Okay. Yeah. And like Buu and Trunks like snuck off and
Tyram: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: like learned Super Saiyan like flying around and stuff.
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. Every Saiyan gets it. Like literally
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Mhm. Yeah.
Tyram: everyone. And then in Super like a bunch of
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yep.
Tyram: Sayans like get it described to them and then they learn how to do
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, you just try
Tyram: it. Yeah. which I feel like the boost
Christopher Hooper: harder.
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: saga is probably the weakest overall from like Dragon Ball Z, but like I feel like so much of that is because like so much of it doesn't really matter, right? Like if you took out Fusion, if you took out um Ultimate Gohan, like his whole like power boost thing he got from the Kais, if you take out Super Boo and all of his absorptions,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: ultimately none of those really mattered in the end. All the tools they needed
Christopher Hooper: Right.
Tyram: to win, they already had at the beginning. All they really needed was uh Goku having Super Saiyan 3 and Vegeta coming up with a clever plan with Dragon Balls, all of which were tools they already had in their toolkit. So, so much of what happened in between
Justin Hale: there.
Tyram: there amounted to
Christopher Hooper: I think that that's
Justin Hale: Yeah, it it set up the ultimate person though. So like Boo splitting, that's that's basically
Tyram: nothing. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: my Mhm.
Justin Hale: what gives birth to Uub, which is the guy at the very very very
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
[00:40:08]
Justin Hale: end of Dragon Ball Z, which is also a weird thing because Super takes place at the end of Z, but not the end of the last episode because like all this is supposed to happen and then and then that very last episode of Z happens, which is like how how are we gonna do that now? How How are we going
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh.
Justin Hale: to do that? We're We're so far past that now.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Uh, we could I feel like we could do a super great podcast of like going over each arc, a re a
Tyram: I mean, maybe you can
Christopher Hooper: re-watching and then podcasting about it. I will say
Tyram: expand that. We just like talk about a different like an like kid show we
Justin Hale: Uh
Tyram: watched as kids, you know? Well,
Christopher Hooper: this a we could do
Tyram: there'd be nothing to criticize about
Christopher Hooper: Avatar. We would just have a podcast
Tyram: Avatar.
Christopher Hooper: where we're like, "Man, that was a great
Tyram: Yeah. Honestly, no.
Christopher Hooper: episode." Yeah.
Tyram: What episode was the storm? Was that
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. It's so funny because Jasmine like had
Justin Hale: It's
Tyram: episode two or like episode four or something like that? The one where you go
Christopher Hooper: me watch it.
Justin Hale: using
Tyram: into like Zuko's backstory because that was like the first like masterpiece episode I
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tyram: feel like.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. I remember Jasmine like introducing the show to me and I'm like, "This is stupid." And she's like, "No, you keep watching." I'm like, "All right, great." Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: Oh, I watched the I watched the Avatar Ang movie last weekend and Secret Tunnel Guy made a cameo that was great. It's very
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Is that movie good? I've heard it's good.
Tyram: good. It's got a lot of breathtaking scenes like gorgeous animation,
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Oh,
Tyram: cool fight choreography.
Christopher Hooper: cool. All
Tyram: He's a little like you get it. It's one of those things like it's completely understandable. And also like I guess I will also say that like they do struggle a little bit to find something to do for the rest of the gang. They get a few they get like get their legs in and do some cool stuff, but like they really did just feel like
Christopher Hooper: right.
Tyram: they were just kind of along for the ride for the most part. Qatara contributes the most, but like honestly it felt like the rest of them didn't really need to be there for the most part. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: I'm a legitimate character. Oh, that's
Tyram: And also I will say like Tough is
Christopher Hooper: funny.
Tyram: thirsty as
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: hell. That makes
Christopher Hooper: Tooff made me consider
Tyram: sense.
Christopher Hooper: like adjusting how I say my
Tyram: But
Christopher Hooper: nickname. Be like, "Oh, could I go by
Tyram: they need to always be compared to someone who's like so much cooler than any real life person could ever
Christopher Hooper: to?" Well, better than like toeer
Justin Hale: Damn. Got
Tyram: be. Dude, you have
Christopher Hooper: Grace. I'd rather people make the association into like a
Justin Hale: him.
Tyram: successfully weathered that storm. When was the last time anyone thought about
Christopher Hooper: super cool earth
Tyram: Toeer Grace? The guy from that
Christopher Hooper: bender. I think about him every day. Be
Justin Hale: That's
Tyram: 70s show. the guy who was the main guy
Christopher Hooper: like the main
Justin Hale: fair. Yeah, that guy. That guy from Spider-Man
Tyram: from that 70s show.
Justin Hale: 3. He's that guy from Spider-Man
Tyram: Oh, yeah. He was Venom and Spider-Man 3. Um, he was
Christopher Hooper: character. Oh,
Tyram: David Duke and Black Clansmen.
Christopher Hooper: wait.
Justin Hale: 3.
Tyram: Okay. Um, if you don't know any of those, you're not going to know him, which is kind of proving my point. He was
Justin Hale: He He's the main character.
Tyram: Eric.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: Daddy,
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: buddy. It's
Christopher Hooper: I don't
Justin Hale: like archive
Christopher Hooper: know.
Tyram: me.
Christopher Hooper: Um, Pirates of
Justin Hale: something is is tough. You looking at his IMDb profile right
Christopher Hooper: Penins. Okay, while I'm still thinking about it, I think the Boo as
Justin Hale: now?
Christopher Hooper: an enemy is just so ridiculous and seems like something I would do in D and D. But I will say that the like Vegeta uh Goku conflict in the Buu arc is like so good and
Tyram: Yeah, I guess I kind of push back against my own
Christopher Hooper: like their fight is
Tyram: criticism from a minute ago like Fusion is still really cool even if it didn't really amount to
Christopher Hooper: like and
Tyram: anything that's plot
Christopher Hooper: and when he like goes Majin
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: relevant.
Christopher Hooper: Majin Vegeta like I was like
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. Like Vegeta has the Vegeta is really the
Christopher Hooper: what what and now they're gonna
Tyram: MVP of that arc because like he his whole Majin
Christopher Hooper: Hi. Yeah.
Tyram: Vegeta thing is really cool and like he was completely instrumental at the end because it was his plan that saved the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
Justin Hale: Hey, if
Christopher Hooper: it's basically like a Vegeta character arc in his relationship
Tyram: day.
Christopher Hooper: with like everyone else,
Justin Hale: you if If you like
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: right?
Justin Hale: modern Vegeta, you will love Ultra
Christopher Hooper: That's a lot of
Justin Hale: Ego Vegeta. Ultra Ego Vegeta is is basically how from what everyone is guessing is like they went, "Okay, how can we take Maja Vegeta
Christopher Hooper: ego. All
Justin Hale: and turn that into something that he can use
Christopher Hooper: right. Interesting.
Justin Hale: forever?" I'm trying
Christopher Hooper: I still need to to go through the like ultra
Justin Hale: to find what you were talking about.
Christopher Hooper: arc.
Tyram: Hey, Yeah, well technically they're all
Justin Hale: Um
Tyram: Majin Buu,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: but Fat Boo is a lot of fun. Like
Justin Hale: yeah, that's good guy boo now.
Tyram: honestly, all the different Boo forms do have something to like. Like I like Fat Bu just being like this goofball idiot who's like the most dangerous f****** guy in the world at the same
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Justin Hale: Yeah. Uh-huh.
Tyram: time. I also really like I also really like Superoo.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: Uh-huh. They play on
Tyram: I mean, he's like just I think he has the coolest look out of any of them because he's just like tall, skinny, and just like this menacing like 9 foot tall m***********, you know? And
Christopher Hooper: people always
Justin Hale: that.
Christopher Hooper: relate him to um Erling Holland.
Tyram: then then like the ones where he has
Justin Hale: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen uh I've seen a
Tyram: absorptions or honestly that's like his most boring forms because he's just basically
Justin Hale: bunch of
Tyram: Cell at that point. And I love Kidb
Justin Hale: those. Yeah. Fat Bu
Tyram: though. Ku was overall my
Justin Hale: is Kid Buu was fun. Fat Bu is the one that like he's still the good guy and the one that persisted. So, he's like still
Tyram: favorite.
Justin Hale: around and they play off of that in Dragon Ball Super uh in
Christopher Hooper: Nice.
Justin Hale: the part where they're trying to do the universe uh tournaments. They try and recruit him to the team to the fighting team. And the only reason that he doesn't join the team is because Satan can't wake him up. That's literally the only reason that he doesn't join the team. They're like, "Oh, it's perfect. We've got Boo. Like, we've got this in a bag." And they can't can't add him to the team because he won't wake up. Uh,
Christopher Hooper: I'm tired. Yeah. And like I remember a big part of like the fat Majin Buu was that like they like appealed to his like inner
Tyram: Yeah, Mr. Satan uh
Christopher Hooper: kid basically and his
Justin Hale: Oh yeah.
Tyram: befriends him because like he actually is able to like, you know, appeal to his love of candy and various other
Christopher Hooper: goodness.
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: things. Yeah. Should we get
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: Um, how are we doing,
Tyram: started?
Christopher Hooper: Ellis? Oh,
Justin Hale: Oh, some
Christopher Hooper: cool. Okay, cool.
Justin Hale: zabra. Real
Christopher Hooper: Um, all right.
Justin Hale: quick, were you talking about Black Mirror earlier for Tougher Grace? Okay, I just saw he's in one
Christopher Hooper: Oh, okay. That makes
Justin Hale: episode.
Christopher Hooper: a lot of sense. I was
Justin Hale: I don't know if I've seen that episode. Uh, which is probably
Christopher Hooper: like,
Justin Hale: why it's probably a newer
Christopher Hooper: um, cool. Uh, so I legitimately need help remembering what we did last time
Tyram: Um, we
Christopher Hooper: because we don't have automated notes for
Justin Hale: episode.
Tyram: went to the sexy peacock and we met with
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: George. Um, George told us that we needed to blow up
Christopher Hooper: Uh-huh.
Justin Hale: Uh,
Tyram: uh three sites. Um, we need to blow up like
Justin Hale: Was I
Tyram: the like the spaceport, the gar the like garrison
Justin Hale: here? All
Tyram: for the soldiers and like uh I think it was like a biolescence refinery facility or something like that. I'm not
Christopher Hooper: Right. in
Tyram: 100% those were the three places, but we need to blow up three places.
Christopher Hooper: the Oh. Oh. with the University Research
Justin Hale: right. I wasn't here for the Was I here for the most
Tyram: Okay. The one last week was had nothing to do with
Justin Hale: recent
Tyram: anything. Do you want to recap of that? Because it won't affect anything. Oh.
[00:50:08]
Justin Hale: session? Right.
Tyram: Uh, but it is uh it was established in canon that not only are Toyota Tacomaomas huge pieces of s***, but um they are people who drive them are often perceived as perverts just like in
Christopher Hooper: Center. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, so not a lot
Tyram: real
Christopher Hooper: different.
Justin Hale: You're
Tyram: life.
Christopher Hooper: So, so Justin was here last session is what you're telling
Tyram: Yes, it was Justin, Martha, and Luke, which were the people I
Justin Hale: you're Yes.
Tyram: needed to be there, except for Luke for the Toyota Tacoma jokes.
Justin Hale: You're ostracizing yourself against twothirds of
Tyram: So, I'm just I'm really trying to force your hand
Justin Hale: your of your party
Tyram: to do a session where you redeem Toyota
Christopher Hooper: me. Oh, yeah.
Tyram: Tacomaomas.
Christopher Hooper: bait baiting him. At at some point at some
Justin Hale: tonight. It's gonna It's gonna
Christopher Hooper: point though, like the world will be it'll just be
Justin Hale: happen.
Christopher Hooper: nonsense, you know? He'll have to he'll have to just invent in the whole other society that is like you know reverse
Tyram: I got faith in Justin. I think he can fix Toyota
Justin Hale: What? Bro, I'm
Tyram: Tacomaomas.
Christopher Hooper: world
Justin Hale: gonna I'm gonna take the Subaru method with with Tacomaomas in our
Christopher Hooper: really
Justin Hale: world where it's like, you know, everyone knows that Subarus are
Christopher Hooper: lesbians. Oh,
Justin Hale: reliable, but yeah, but like lesbians drive them now, so like they're
Christopher Hooper: okay.
Justin Hale: cool. Like some other people can drive them, but lesbians drive them because they're reliable and awesome. So like it doesn't it doesn't matter if anything happened in the past with Subarus.
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: That's what's important now. So that's like that's that's the marketing that I'm going
Christopher Hooper: Okay. I like
Justin Hale: to take with Tacomaomas in our world this time around of like yeah, pedophiles used to drive them, but they're
Christopher Hooper: it.
Justin Hale: like they're indestructible now as they are in the real world.
Tyram: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I never said pedophiles. I just said
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Taylor Oh,
Tyram: pervert. Like like a lower tier of perverts. So,
Christopher Hooper: Oh, well that's
Justin Hale: did I say
Tyram: not like
Christopher Hooper: perfect. Well, that's perfect because
Justin Hale: pedophiles?
Tyram: pedophiles.
Christopher Hooper: like in the 1950s they called gay people perverts. So, this is like very matching up with uh what you're talking about. It's like the perverts we were talking about all along
Justin Hale: Gotcha. It
Christopher Hooper: were just normal people.
Justin Hale: practically Yeah. Oh, that's how we can spin it. It becomes a it becomes an LGBTQ ally
Tyram: No. Hey. Yeah, we could be really um we could really be
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yep. Yep.
Tyram: uh civil rights icons in the campaign setting
Justin Hale: situation. We can be crazy
Christopher Hooper: Yep. You know, I think it's time for us to make a stand by having a side arc
Tyram: here.
Christopher Hooper: that Justin does at some point.
Justin Hale: progressive. The
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool.
Justin Hale: goblins. The Goblin engineering will bring back the the good name that is Toyota
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I guess you know, we didn't really talk about how LGBT LGBT friendly um goblins are.
Justin Hale: Tacomaomas. Yeah, we don't
Christopher Hooper: Um that's great. Uh what a great synopsis. You did end up somewhere. You're
Justin Hale: care.
Christopher Hooper: in a big like apartment
Justin Hale: Oh, that's what I was saying is I don't think I was here for that session. I do remember us getting to a point where we had to make decisions, but I I think
Christopher Hooper: building. I think
Justin Hale: there was a session in between that I
Christopher Hooper: so. Um, toothies. You went to
Tyram: Yeah, he has like like a
Christopher Hooper: toothies? Um, so
Tyram: boarding house or something that we're staying at. I'm reasonably certain you
Christopher Hooper: toothy. Yeah. And it's an apartment
Justin Hale: missed. Okay.
Tyram: were there for that session because you kept trying to steal my
Christopher Hooper: in a larger
Tyram: margarita.
Christopher Hooper: apartment. I think I think that was the session
Justin Hale: Oh, is that
Tyram: That's the last time we
Justin Hale: okay? Yeah, I feel like there's a session after that
Tyram: played in the main campaign because of all you independable f****.
Christopher Hooper: before.
Justin Hale: we're talking about. Is it?
Tyram: You keep missing
Justin Hale: Hey. Hey. Whoa. Listen. If I have to miss a session for Gen Con,
Tyram: sessions. You don't have to go to Jen
Christopher Hooper: It's true. That's a good
Justin Hale: deal with
Tyram: Con every f****** week
Justin Hale: it. I
Tyram: though. Every f******
Justin Hale: haven't missed that much. If you if you look at the notes, the the
Tyram: week.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's uh what late second trimester going on.
Justin Hale: bump.
Tyram: November 30th is about three months from now. See how that
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: Are you getting the stereotypical second child where it's just like all belly, like immediate
Tyram: tricks
Justin Hale: belly? Yeah. So did
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. That's funny. I didn't even think about
Justin Hale: Christina. It's like Yeah. Yep. It's like Christina's body went, "Oh, yeah. This is a kid. We know what to do.
Christopher Hooper: that. Yeah.
Justin Hale: We'll take it from here.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, good to
Justin Hale: Yeah. Her her first pregnancy, it was just like wait all over. Second pregnancy was just
Christopher Hooper: know.
Justin Hale: like wait
Christopher Hooper: So, uh, we can follow up on this, but should we, um, kill off Olivia in like early November
Justin Hale: there.
Tyram: No, that'd be super sad. I don't want
Christopher Hooper: then of old age?
Justin Hale: Damn. So
Christopher Hooper: No, it'll be it'll be
Justin Hale: then, so then Ellis comes back as the
Christopher Hooper: sweet as
Justin Hale: grandson
Tyram: that. No, sucks. I don't want to in the
Justin Hale: nephew.
Tyram: party. I
Christopher Hooper: George. Yeah. All right. There you
Justin Hale: Yeah. Wait, wait,
Tyram: mean, we could always just throw um Martha's character in the fay
Justin Hale: wait.
Tyram: world again. Oh, wait. No, it was hell. It was hell last
Christopher Hooper: go.
Justin Hale: I didn't even think about
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: that. Olivia had to have had to have a a partner at some point to have
Tyram: time.
Justin Hale: grandchildren. Where is this person?
Tyram: I assume they were dead. I mean, Olivia is old as s***, so like
Justin Hale: Whoa. I didn't think about
Tyram: the the husband could have died of old age by
Justin Hale: it. I mean, fair fair, but Olivia
Christopher Hooper: This problem, this this party does not like to dig into
Justin Hale: hasn't. So,
Christopher Hooper: people's backstories unless I literally throw it in
Justin Hale: like it's f****** too
Tyram: now. We've already done
Christopher Hooper: people's faces.
Justin Hale: true. Too
Tyram: all of Silus's backstory that I give a s***
Christopher Hooper: I
Justin Hale: true.
Tyram: about.
Christopher Hooper: know, but there's more to
Justin Hale: I think it's pretty funny that that Bru's backstory, despite having minions, is almost minion-esque as a B back backstory. Like his backstory is way less like grew and way more
Tyram: Yeah, you actually did have a pretty nice family unlike uh unlike
Christopher Hooper: explore.
Tyram: Grrew, but I guess like we played your family and assumed we were supposed to be

Christopher Hooper: a white suit, right? Like a white suit with a cane. What
Justin Hale: mind's eye sees. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's the white suit. Yeah. With the weird

Justin Hale: problem?
Tyram: around.
Christopher Hooper: It's bearded child day in this in the

Um and uh she um starts leading you into town. Um I'm a private detective. It's good for my It's good for my business. Standard standard cover.
Tyram: I psychic phone with the other two. Oh, looks like we got an amateur detective. Hope he doesn't slow us down here. Um, I don't know that it says anything like that, but I like to think so. Not sure what that was about, but okay. I really don't get that,
Christopher Hooper: probably uh
Tyram: but okay,
Christopher Hooper: Um um you head um further towards um you're you're basically heading along the uh there's there's kind of like a loop around the park and you're kind of walking
Tyram: whatever.
Christopher Hooper: that loop and it kind of swings you around towards um uh towards the harbor area. And right between there's kind of this crossroads between uh road from the park where it kind of um like bends off the like wealthier area of the city and then heads directly into um the harbor area. uh where you can now see um just just off there is a like floating pier um where you can see uh a like huge rocket ship um floating on the on the pier and you see there's a lot of activity. Um you see these um large barge barges and there's a several like planes and um what look like fighters and like future futuristic spacecraft like landing on barges. Um I think that it is uh your characters have never seen this level of technology before. This is this far exceeds anything that any of where you've grown
Tyram: Is it more advanced even than the
Christopher Hooper: up uh looks like. Um, yes. It it looks like an extreme and
Tyram: Goliaths?
Christopher Hooper: um it looks like an extreme refinement of the initial Goliath designs. Very good question. Um, if you don't already, give yourself
Tyram: Hell yeah. I love having
Christopher Hooper: inspiration. Um, yeah. So you you kind of see how like basically
Tyram: inspiration.
Christopher Hooper: those original Goliath um works are kind of like the foundational technology and they it's like it's like the Wright brothers um and then you have like Boeing you know um being able to like toss like tons of money and research
Tyram: Well, looks like they got something out of
Christopher Hooper: behind it.
Tyram: all that genocide they committed. Yeah. Let's hope they don't have to like sacrifice like
Justin Hale: Don't remind
Tyram: their like prince in order to actually No, we hate the elder. So, I hope they do have to sacrifice all their princes in order to uh rocket
Justin Hale: me. It feels like a longevity issue. That's for
Tyram: ships.
Justin Hale: sure. I
Christopher Hooper: Um, I
Justin Hale: I knew what you were talking about. I just didn't know how to pull it
Christopher Hooper: also don't know if you're speaking out loud or not. I assume y'all are always speaking in uh in your
Tyram: That's pretty safe assumption.
Christopher Hooper: heads.
Justin Hale: in. We really like to alienate our uh our
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah, I've learned
Justin Hale: NPC
Tyram: I mean, this dude like narrating into a
Christopher Hooper: that.
Tyram: tape recorder. He is clearly not all that interested in talking to us
Christopher Hooper: Um, you know, got to adapt some way.
Tyram: anyway. He was doing it before we did any psychic phone stuff. This is not
Christopher Hooper: Um, says, "All
Justin Hale: contributors.
Tyram: an adaptation of what we were doing.
Christopher Hooper: right. All right. This the place. It's run by a guy named Harry and a talking monkey. So, be careful. Watch out.
Justin Hale: A a hairy talking
Tyram: No, apparently Harry and a
Christopher Hooper: No, no, no, no,
Tyram: monkey. Kind of weird that the monkey is not the one named Harry. We have it.

Christopher Hooper: know? If you want
Tyram: impersonal.
Christopher Hooper: to
Justin Hale: are. You aren't human.
Christopher Hooper: Huh? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Uh, they're just like very keen on respect. We're here to meet Bon Bonnery. He's our man on the
Justin Hale: Who is
Christopher Hooper: inside. I don't
Justin Hale: that? All right. Is he an actual
Christopher Hooper: know. Never met him. Why are you looking at me like
Justin Hale: man? Okay. It it feels like we're very seat of pants. If it needs a man, he's never met him. Her it I don't
Christopher Hooper: that? He's our way into the into the factory. Into the spaceport factory. That's
Justin Hale: know.
Christopher Hooper: right. You're very skeptical. I'm I'm I'm leaving the space for questions before we head
Justin Hale: It's not skepticism. It's more
Christopher Hooper: inside. Uh, all right. There's some nuance there that I'm missing. What can I help you
Justin Hale: confusion. Is that
Christopher Hooper: out? What's the confusing part?
Justin Hale: like there's your your
Christopher Hooper: Last questions. What do you need to
Justin Hale: lack of details concerns

Tyram: like he works at the
Christopher Hooper: actor. You can't live off being an actor
Tyram: factory? Okay. So, we're we're
Christopher Hooper: in this city. You
Tyram: establishing in in the world's cannon that actors actually make a
Justin Hale: What?
Tyram: measly amount of
Christopher Hooper: crazy? Yeah.
Justin Hale: All right, fair
Tyram: money. That's true. Everyone knows actors barely scrape
Justin Hale: enough. Important important distinction. Is it this person's
Christopher Hooper: Oh, interesting. Um, you want to look at it?

Christopher Hooper: Here. Oh, that was great. That's so funny. That's so
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: funny. I heard you say it before. I'm like, you're going to let that slide. I'll give her more opportunity to figure it out.
Justin Hale: I was honestly I was waiting for you to be like, did I say Bon Bonner? I meant born
Christopher Hooper: Um, it's way harder. It's also a weirder
Justin Hale: boonie.
Tyram: I mean, I feel like the
Christopher Hooper: voice. Um, and I've really set myself up. So, we'll see what
Tyram: the standard has to be that we have to cycle through all the James. So, the next
Christopher Hooper: happens.
Tyram: one's got to be like Roger Boore, eventually turn around to uh to uh Daniel Breg. or
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: Beerus Bro. Actually, Broden is his last name. So, we gota
Justin Hale: We We still haven't figured out
Tyram: beer. I usually just go to
Justin Hale: a good alternative for things that start with
Tyram: C like Blastoise.
Justin Hale: B. Do you?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: very easy as you already pointed out. You just call the monkey monkey.
Justin Hale: up.
Tyram: Is Harry actually
Justin Hale: Monkey monkey.
Tyram: Harry or is he like bald? That'd be really
Christopher Hooper: Okay. No, his name is
Tyram: ironic. Oh, that's kind of disappointing. Whatever. Let's go.
Christopher Hooper: Harold. All right. I'm gonna act a little differently
Justin Hale: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: as my ulterior
Justin Hale: Why?
Christopher Hooper: character. All right. It may throw you off, but
Justin Hale: All
Christopher Hooper: it's still me. All
Justin Hale: right. Okay. All right.
Christopher Hooper: right. Okay. Haven't
Justin Hale: Do you have a code name for this
Tyram: Wow. You're kind of
Christopher Hooper: thought of one yet.

Tyram: waiting until the 11th hour for that one,
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: enough. Came up with
Tyram: huh?

Christopher Hooper: someone
Justin Hale: furnace? Lots of explosion. Fine. Precision

Christopher Hooper: good. Yeah. Still
Tyram: a good use of it.
Christopher Hooper: good. Yeah. So,
Tyram: So,
Christopher Hooper: um you see all around you there are these like um like cranes on a track that are um moving large pieces of plane um that are getting assembled as they go between stations. And a lot of the raw material is coming. Um this this like factory is very very long, huge, massive um you know to build to build um spaceships. Um and even that is is in parts. And so the foreman office is actually a like spherical ball on a track that is like um moving
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: like on the ceiling um throughout. And it looks like there are a few walkways alongside um and a few like stations where it goes to and like you can like walk in and out.
Tyram: I got That's pretty
Christopher Hooper: Basically,
Tyram: cool.
Christopher Hooper: the the furnace is like this thrumming heartbeat. You can see like basically at the end of this super long like factory. Um, and it's kind of it seems like basically where you come in at you have almost like completely created like parts. Uh you can already kind of see there's like a wing here. There's like um a uh like living quarters type of cell uh here like it's all like kind of coming together where you are right now. And as you you stylus, as you look down, you can kind of see that like it gets more elementary base parts as you go further down the line. And that furnace is is at the end of the
Tyram: Okay, I point this out to my comrades and um All right, while everybody's gone, um you guys can both climb into the pee hole and I can just walk us up to the ceiling and maybe we could get to the the foreman's office that
Christopher Hooper: line.

Tyram: I got
Justin Hale: What the f***, man? Rogues are
Tyram: expertise. Rogues are b*******. Like
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah, rugs are
Justin Hale: b*******.
Tyram: there's like a YouTube like Dn D group called like the dungeon dudes that I like watch videos for and they s*** all over rogues and I do not get it. Like rogues are legitimately amazing.
Christopher Hooper: b*******. That's
Justin Hale: They're broken.
Christopher Hooper: funny.
Justin Hale: I thought my advantage plus 10 on perception was broken. f*** you, dude. That's
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I don't have a plus that high on
Tyram: Well, I mean that's like rogues and bards. Well, more so rogues, I guess. Like the only like thing that they truly dominate
Justin Hale: crazy.
Ellis Taylor: anything.
Tyram: at is skill
Christopher Hooper: Although I think a rogue rogues are nice because they can do like
Tyram: checks. Oh, no. Well, you know what? Yeah, I'm telling them short because
Christopher Hooper: splash like uh single target
Tyram: rogues are very good in combat. Like they do, aside from
Christopher Hooper: damage.
Tyram: probably paladins, they do more damage with a single attack than anybody else can for a fun
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: Yeah. No, rogues are the the DPS
Tyram: story. Uh last week, um I whipped out like a
Justin Hale: machines.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Oh yeah.
Tyram: monster for them to fight and I like doubled its HP from the monster manual and everything. Um Silus rolls a crit with sneak attack. So that
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh.
Tyram: does like 70 f****** damage with the first attack that hits it. And
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah.
Tyram: then f****** Olivia does like 14 spites or
Christopher Hooper: Jesus.
Tyram: whatever. Like just this thing was dead before it ever got a chance to
Christopher Hooper: Wow. All
Ellis Taylor: It was like I did like 60s
Tyram: act. Yeah, you did 60 something and S did like
Christopher Hooper: right. Oh
Justin Hale: It was so
Ellis Taylor: something damage too. Yeah, we
Tyram: 70 something. So like it just got completely
Christopher Hooper: my god.
Justin Hale: good.
Ellis Taylor: we Yeah, we killed it.
Tyram: dusted before it ever had a chance to do
Justin Hale: It reminded me
Tyram: anything.
Justin Hale: of if you guys remember from the what second campaign um where I ran a DM session, you guys had to fight
Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. Right. Right.
Justin Hale: that dragon in the snow and you guys like f******
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. It was like a white dragon.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: immediately killed it. That's what that reminded me
Tyram: I remember
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: of. Yeah. Yeah. I put it together. I was like, "Oh yeah, it's gonna be great."
Tyram: that.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: And like the first round damage is like f***, what do I do
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Justin Hale: now? Like exactly same
Tyram: To be fair, those were improbably high amounts of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: damage from last week, but either
Justin Hale: scenario. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um Yeah, it is. Um anyway, could get into this, but instead I will get into that 32 stealth. you are
Tyram: way
Christopher Hooper: like along the walls. Um you um I guess I guess I want Why don't you tell me how how you're approaching the overseer's office
Tyram: Okay. You said it was like moving like kind of like on with like a bunch of connecting uh like walkways like kind of like skidding around the uh the like the sort of the
Christopher Hooper: here?
Tyram: upper layer so it could like hover over the different parts of the factory, right?
Christopher Hooper: That's Right. So, there's like this track that it's like running on and to get in and out there are these there's a walkway that kind of runs parallel to the track that uh in my mind there the track is kind of like these connected figure eights with occasional like inserts that cross it. And so there's kind of the lefthand track where all the the machinery like the the processed pieces are running down and then the overseer's like office is just able to
Tyram: Okay. Huh?
Christopher Hooper: like move around that like connected track and it's mostly on the right track but it can like scoot over
Tyram: Okay. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: into the left and like follow a piece if it needs to. for
Tyram: I'm picturing um the that there's a bunch of
Justin Hale: He He's in a hamster
Tyram: hanging lights from the ceiling like um like like a wire
Christopher Hooper: instance.
Tyram: hanging down with like the kind of like like the the like a downward-facing like lamp shade with like light bulbs in the middle and like Silus
[02:40:08]
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Mhm.
Tyram: skitters his way up the wall until he's parallel with them and
Justin Hale: ball.
Tyram: then he just starts skipping across the light fixtures so lightly that they don't even move when he steps on them. And
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.
Tyram: then um once I get over the uh overseer's
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Tyram: office um I kind of wait for it to be like getting like where it's like heading towards me so that I can make a leap and just like stick my hand out and like catch myself on the side of
Christopher Hooper: Um, this is going to
Ellis Taylor: Stay on it. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: be pretty I'm going to call it like a
Tyram: it. I can't fail.
Christopher Hooper: DC-15 acrobatics check. Okay. You seamlessly like silent as night.
Ellis Taylor: I
Christopher Hooper: Um you're you're on this like yes, as Justin said, like hamster ball on a track type of thing. Um, and like a hamster ball, you kind of have um you kind of have this like transparent um windows around it except for basically exactly where you are where where this like cap where it's like connected to this um like cable that plugs it into the track so it it
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: can get dragged around.
Justin Hale: So is that roll
Christopher Hooper: No, it's not rolling.
Justin Hale: up?
Tyram: Um, can um are we still on like a am I still on like a sloped surface?
Christopher Hooper: No, slightly.
Tyram: Okay. So, it probably wouldn't it it would be difficult for my compatriots to stand next to me, but I have to get inside first. You
Justin Hale: Okay.
Tyram: think?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I think they could. And they could hold on to the cable
Tyram: Okay. In that case, I'll open up the pee hole and be like, "Okay, guys, we're on top
Christopher Hooper: at the very top.
Tyram: of the office here. Um, it's a little slippery. Watch your step.
Justin Hale: All right. Good. I I I be
Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: eventually. That's what happens. That's what happens
Tyram: fun.
Justin Hale: when you're appro an an an apprentice, you know. You
Tyram: She's feeling the pressure. She knows that she has to
Justin Hale: just you got to really focus.

Ellis Taylor: 17.
Christopher Hooper: uh it looks like her uh the the
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Tyram: batwood.
Christopher Hooper: main door that connects to these these catwalks is probably if she's um midnight, it's probably at her 7:00 if that makes sense.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, don't do that. I can't do that. Uh, I have to look at
Tyram: It's behind her and the
Ellis Taylor: a picture of a clock.
Tyram: left. So,
Christopher Hooper: Uh yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Okay,
Tyram: if we go now, we have a decent chance to get into our blind
Ellis Taylor: cool.
Tyram: spot. All right, let's go. Go, go,
Ellis Taylor: Yes. Go, go, go, go,
Tyram: go.
Ellis Taylor: go. Back in the pee hole and let Silas sticky his way down to the
Tyram: Okay, I scurry on
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um uh you see you scurry to the the door. Uh there's a light on the door and it's it's
Tyram: now. Is there a lock I can
Christopher Hooper: red. Um you uh you look around
Ellis Taylor: door.
Tyram: pick?
[02:50:08]
Christopher Hooper: um there is uh it's not like a key lock, it's like a electrical lock. Um go ahead and give me an inside check.
Tyram: Okay. Um, 20
Christopher Hooper: 20. Um, you think that it's basically like a safety precaution that the door stays locked when it's not
Justin Hale: Hey, have you
Christopher Hooper: docked on one of the like catwalk bridges. You're looking, you're moving right now. Um, and it looks like you're going to hit one of those catwalk bridges in about 5 seconds. Um, and then you've seen it on
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: this track for a little bit. You'll probably have 15 seconds before it moves
Justin Hale: seen
Tyram: Okay. I I wait for the uh part to lock in and then um I try Do I need to like pick the lock when it locks or do I kind of just open
Christopher Hooper: again.
Tyram: it?
Christopher Hooper: Um, it it arrives, goes green, and you try Very quietly it opens up. Um, and you still have amazing stealth. So, you you climb in, ease
Justin Hale: Have you
Christopher Hooper: it back in place, and Yeah. What do you
Justin Hale: met
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: do
Tyram: Um, okay. So, she's laughing.
Christopher Hooper: next? The chickens. What? It's not there. It's not at Roger's
Justin Hale: him?
Tyram: I want to crawl up the inside of
Christopher Hooper: place.
Tyram: the sphere so that I'm like looking at the desk from above. See if I can see the key or anything from a bird's eye
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. Yeah. Give me a perception
Tyram: view. Oh, I got to reroll that. Okay, went from a one to a 20. Um that's
Christopher Hooper: check. An 20.
Tyram: 26 20 to 26.
Christopher Hooper: a net 20. Okay. You see dangling on the overseer is a key ring. You also see that there is a board of cameras
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: uh in front of her um that are over various parts including the furnace area. Um, you also see outside while you're looking like you can see like through, you know, the windows around you. Um, that you're looping back around. You think this might take you back to the furnace area. Um, Nat 20. You see uh you see that the overseer has a little desk with a lamp. And you see that she has what you can now make out as sleeping pills. Um and a ham sandwich on the desk along with a uh it looks like a lukewarm beer.
Tyram: Okay. Um, I want to use my telekinetic uh uh ability to mage hand the sleeping pills and like kind of crush them up in the beer if I
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, I think we'll need I want to say a spellcasting role, but you don't really have that. So,
Tyram: can. Mage hand is based off of my charisma. If you just want me to roll like and add charisma to
Christopher Hooper: um, yeah, why don't we do that? I I like that. And um because of your
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: slight of hand uh will give you um will add your proficiency bonus to
Tyram: Okay. Oh, I got to reroll that one. Okay. Um, that is with charisma and proficiency. That is a total of uh
Christopher Hooper: it. 16.
Tyram: 16.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. you um you very carefully set it down. It's not silent. It's not silent and you and then you use something. It's it's a it's hard work, right? as you then try to like sweep objects to sweep the the the crushed up pills into the beer. And then you and with that um the overseer looks over, huh? Oh s***, I've been What's going
Tyram: Thank
Christopher Hooper: on? They're eating food. A god damn
Tyram: you.
Christopher Hooper: it. and she uh she heads to the um controls, starts steering towards um the cafeteria area where they're currently eating meatloaf. And uh and she looks down and says, "What the godamn hell are y'all doing? Get back to work." And you just hear a man. And um and with that, I think that's where we'll leave off
Tyram: Okay. How are uh potentially uh Liliana and
Christopher Hooper: tonight. I
Tyram: uh and Elvis going to be here all of a sudden? Were they in the
Christopher Hooper: don't
Tyram: pee hole this whole
Christopher Hooper: know. I don't know. I'll think about
Tyram: time?
Christopher Hooper: that. I might ask them to montage. Y'all also said, y'all also floated the idea that you might like gather what you need and then come back to blow it up
Ellis Taylor: I was Yeah, we were talking about also planting the bombs and then detonating them all at once, I think is more what we were talking
Tyram: Yeah, like we had a worry that like if we
Christopher Hooper: later. Okay.
Justin Hale: Yep.
Ellis Taylor: about instead of blowing up one at a time.
Tyram: blow up one they might heighten security at the others. So, like theoretically, if we could blow them all up at once, that might be the the ideal
Justin Hale: Yep. Orchestrated
Tyram: solution.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I mean I y'all do
Justin Hale: if you will.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, they play the music.
Christopher Hooper: You do have the plans from
Justin Hale: Yep. And the hall of the mountain came with
Christopher Hooper: you do have the plans from Victor for explosions and so he's got
Justin Hale: reference.
Tyram: We're not going to
Christopher Hooper: timers on them, right? So, you
Justin Hale: No, no, no,
Tyram: use f****** timers. We're gonna use detonators. I don't
Justin Hale: no.
Tyram: know, Victor with his timers. It's just It's objectively worse than using a detonator.
Christopher Hooper: know, okay. Yeah. You know, whatever youall want to
Justin Hale: Yeah. Victor, listen. Not to be crassed, but Victor can f*** the f***
Ellis Taylor: No.
Tyram: in a very non-crass
Justin Hale: off. Brew has synchronized
Christopher Hooper: do.
Justin Hale: syncopated remote
Tyram: way. I
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: detonation. I don't like your fur and brow at the end of
Tyram: mean, I just it's it might hurt
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. It's
Justin Hale: that.
Tyram: Victor's feelings, but Brew is just the superior bomb maker. That just that that's just
Christopher Hooper: good. Hey, I'm not going to tell Victor if you
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: facts. I I avoid talking to Victor as much as possible.
Christopher Hooper: don't. Well, I hope you all had a had a good time. That's all the content I have for this
Justin Hale: Mhm. I had a
Christopher Hooper: evening.
Justin Hale: wonderful time. And if we can have
Tyram: So
