SPEAKER_04 1:46

I'm very, very, very sorry, but I will not be able to make it to Anthrocon this year due to my wedding expenses and moving expenses after my wedding. We're just not gonna have the the money the m the funds and the the time to really make it.

SPEAKER_07 2:04

So I think that's perfectly reasonable though, let's be fair. Wedding's pretty important.

SPEAKER_04 2:08

There's always next year though.

SPEAKER_04 2:11

And my neighbors will be there next year because they want to come with.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

I'm gonna have some have so much FOMO.

SPEAKER_07 2:27

Yeah, I don't cost uh we're not gonna have two cars parked anymore in the in the garage drinking with Eric. I mean, we don't drink in the garage. What? Uh no, we're hanging out.

SPEAKER_04 2:37

Remember that one time that remember that one time that they busted our little party that we were having? Yes, and I had like a panic attack.

SPEAKER_07 2:44

You had a panic attack? Uh borderline. You're like, oh my god, they're gonna call the cops.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Oh my god, we're gonna get arrested. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_07 2:50

Yeah. No, dude, we're fine. We were fine. We were okay, but it's gonna be weird, it's gonna be different. Um I gotta find a new way to enjoy the con. I mean, I got like I said, I got some people I get to hang. I get I get people I I I I got people I can hang out with. It's just you were my main man. My main man ain't there. So I know really weird. Maybe I'll drink less.

SPEAKER_04 3:11

Perchance.

SPEAKER_07 3:12

Maybe I'll drink less. Maybe that's the bright side.

SPEAKER_04 3:16

Well I'll try to I'll try to get some some business cards made still so you can.

SPEAKER_07 3:21

That's the goal. I wanna hand out I wanna I wanna put business cards around the table, maybe put some stickers with it. Yes, sir. And I'll get some mailed out to you.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Hell uh Yeah. Oops, excuse me.

SPEAKER_07 3:34

Wait. You have noise. Turn off noise suppression in Discord. I can't hear your shit. Turn off. Turn off right now. I can't turn it off.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

Let me turn it off. It's blocked. Why? It's like dimmed out. It won't let me uh click. I'm glad you asked, buddy. So, you know how we did that would you rather? But it wasn't really furry themed.

SPEAKER_07 4:04

Yes, I do remember. I think I harped on you about it as a joke.

SPEAKER_04 4:07

Yes, you did. I have come up with 40 furry themed would you rather questions.

SPEAKER_07 4:15

Fuck yeah. It's furry related. I'm so ready.

SPEAKER_04 4:17

We might not be able to get through them all. They might be kind of quirky. So don't judge me.

SPEAKER_07 4:21

I'm not gonna judge. I'm ready. I'm I'm I'm I'm excited because we could talk about furry-related things. Finally.

SPEAKER_04 4:27

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 4:27

No, I'm just kidding. We always do furry-related stuff, right? Always. Always, totally always.

SPEAKER_04 4:31

I I like I like spicing it up a little bit and kind of going a little on the broader section of that.

SPEAKER_05 4:36

Why is it spicy? Why is it spicy?

SPEAKER_07 4:40

I like when you make it spicy. I like when you add your own flair. Your flamboyant flair, as they say.

SPEAKER_04 4:46

My flamboyant flair. Mm-hmm. Your flamboyant flair. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 4:52

As I sip on my drink. What, your caramel upside down macchiato bullshit? Nope, it's uh Mountain Dew Baja Blast uh with alcohol in it. Ah, so it's hard. It's got a boner? It's got a boner. Fuck yeah. Are you ready to get started? I'm so ready. My boner is throbbing. That's it? So is mine. It doesn't even have like a comedic like relation to what we're doing. Comedic boner? Yeah, I got a comedy boner right now. I don't know what that means, but we'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_04 5:24

Yeah, I don't know. Anyways, number one! Would you rather live permanently as your persona or keep them forever as part of your imagination? Uh okay. I would choose to be my first owner.

SPEAKER_07 5:40

I want to be, but then the reality sets in of the world we live in now, and I wouldn't be able to work unless it's like we're from home. And I mean I wouldn't ever have to worry about like exercising, but a lot would change, and I think cops would look at me and be like, Oh, you're different. Let's put you in handcuffs, you know? So you're just a dog. What's that? What the dog doing? Um what the dog doing? I really would love to live as my fursona, so I'm gonna say that one, but I just don't think it'd make in a perfect world. Let's just say in a perfect world. If it was perfect world, 100% I'd be my fursona, but I would be Dobes. I'd be my other fersona, not the one that's on the podcast.

SPEAKER_04 6:24

Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_07 6:27

Hell yeah. I like that. Why would you be your fursona? Why don't you tell me?

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Why would I be my fursona? I think if I was my fursona, I could have a big tail to smack people with, and big feet to stomp around with, and I can breathe fire, and I have horns on my head, and I can poke people with them. And would you still be short?

SPEAKER_07 6:49

How's tall? How tall is your fursona?

SPEAKER_04 6:51

Um I don't think I ever gave him like a height. I mean, he's just kind of based off of me personally. Yeah, he's still short. Okay. He's still he's think of him the same height as me.

SPEAKER_07 7:05

So you and fursuit is what I imagine. I just wasn't sure if that was what your fur.

SPEAKER_04 7:10

Well, yeah, I mean that's that's kind of what I'm going for. I'm trying to go for I'm trying to, you know. Okay, just curious. Play into my persona a little bit by uh expressing my height expressing myself because I'm short.

SPEAKER_07 7:27

You're so tall. You're not short. You're not short. You're so tall and strong. So slender.

SPEAKER_02 7:45

We got a fan mail!

SPEAKER_07 7:48

We did. If any anyone who doesn't know, we have a fan mail link down below. What we like to do is if we get a fan mail, we like to read the fan mail out, whether it's something that we're shouting out or it's something that someone sends us. Ryu? Would you like to take it away? I don't have it pulled up yet, actually.

SPEAKER_04 8:03

So greetings, closet fox Adobe, and so big and tall Ryu. It is I, once again, the Fox, who apparently has now reached funk status, the current world record holder for the Dark Cloud 2 80% emulator speedrun, who has without a doubt one of the finest beards in the furry community Aeon. I uh if I did my calculations correctly, this week marks to be this Fuck. This week mark this I can't I don't have my glasses on. This week marks the lovely time of the year where in southern Ontario progresses from our very brief season of full spring into the second winter season. Meaningful, Fernal Equinox 2026 in Toronto, Ontario is right around the corner. As a first-time attendee to my home convention, I have a very topical question. What is some general advice you would give to first-time congoers and how best to enjoy their first very convention experience? I shall be keeping myself nice and warm, keeping my finger firmly on the shutter button to capture the final moments of Effie at its current video. Much love to the two of you.

SPEAKER_07 9:17

Thanks for reading it in, we appreciate yourself.

SPEAKER_04 9:20

First con first time first con. Oh my god. Yeah, but I mean once you kind of I would say go ready, ready, ready to go in line, check out space understanding layout of the building itself.

SPEAKER_07 9:55

It's a first time on go where, like Ray mentioned, I would say a priority is to get acquainted with your surroundings first before just diving into wherever you want to go right off the bat. Um, my my biggest suggestion is get a rough layout of a schedule you'd like to look at throughout the day, of certain events you want to try to attend, certain groups you want to go to, but let yourself have the leeway. If you miss, if you missed an event, if you missed uh what do they call it, a panel, if you m if you know, if you don't make it to the dealer's den directly on time, that's okay. If you if you like the commons enough, you'll come back and you'll be able to attend something like that all over again. Take your time, give yourself a rough schedule so you're not just sitting in limbo not sure what to do. Have something you want to do, look get things ready, but just have fun. Um you wanna make sure you have things you're looking forward to while also giving yourself room to break.

SPEAKER_04 10:42

You make it what you want.

SPEAKER_07 10:44

There's no right way to go about a comment whatever that's freaking hell yeah. Anyway, thank you guys, thank you A gonna again for writing in again.

SPEAKER_04 11:21

Thank you guys for tuning in the fan statement. Um what? Um back to the would you rather questions.

SPEAKER_07 11:29

I'm so ready. My my my comedy boner has gone to an anticipation boner.

SPEAKER_04 11:35

Mine's just soft now. Flaccid. Just like just like what?

SPEAKER_05 11:43

Just like what? They're so tall. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 11:47

I'm not gonna say. Alright. I I hereby make a promise to you, my good sir, for the rest of this episode. I will not slander you in any way.

SPEAKER_04 11:58

Salamander, no more salamander slander for the rest of this episode.

SPEAKER_07 12:01

No slander, none at all. Zilch. Zilch? Nada? I'm giving you opportunities to not feel good.

SPEAKER_02 12:10

Number two.

SPEAKER_07 12:11

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

We're on number two. We've been we've been bullshitting for almost 20 minutes. Well, they don't know that I probably cut a lot.

SPEAKER_04 12:22

And then I decided to do the fan mail after qu after question one. Question five. Number two. Would you rather everyone understand exactly why your fursoda represents you, or nobody ever fully understands it but still respects it?

SPEAKER_07 12:38

Probably that one, because I don't know, I don't need everyone to understand.

SPEAKER_04 12:41

I don't need everybody to understand me.

SPEAKER_07 12:43

You know, that's my business.

SPEAKER_04 12:44

Yeah. I got a lot going on, and I don't think a lot of people really want to know what's going on in my head.

SPEAKER_07 12:50

High five.

SPEAKER_04 12:51

High five.

SPEAKER_07 12:51

High five to that.

SPEAKER_04 12:52

A big smooch to that.

SPEAKER_07 12:56

That gets three smooches. What the fuck? You know, you know the boom meme.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Yes. That gets five booms. Boom! Five big booms.

SPEAKER_04 13:11

Number three.

SPEAKER_07 13:12

That smells so good.

SPEAKER_04 13:14

Would you rather your fursona evolve with you over time or stay exactly the same forever as a snapshot of who you once were?

SPEAKER_07 13:23

That's kind of what I almost did because I made a new fursona to more align with where I'm at now. So I'd rather my I would rather my Sona grow with me rather than being a snapshot. Same. Although I made a new fursona, but I can't really change Adobe's color palette.

SPEAKER_04 13:40

Oh my god, you know what I was thinking, bro? Huh? I've been thinking about this for like a few months lately.

SPEAKER_07 13:46

I love when you think. I love it.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

Okay, think about it. So at my funeral, at my funeral, right?

SPEAKER_07 13:53

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_04 13:54

Like one like at my at my funeral, at my celebration of my life, I think I want to put convention photos of us in fur of us in fursuits to surprise people and be like That would be a shocker. I feel like that would be so funny.

SPEAKER_07 14:12

I'd cry my fucking eyes out, but that would be great. I need to tell Amelda. You're not gonna die soon. Relax.

SPEAKER_04 14:22

You're getting married. You gotta wait a little bit. You mean it's my funeral? I'm kidding. Amelda, I love you. Did she listen to the podcast? Not well, she's not on this episode yet, so I love you, Amelda. Oh shit. Number four. Would you rather be remembered for your fursona or be remembered for the person behind it?

SPEAKER_07 14:48

Persona. I'm not delving into that any more than what I've already answered, but I'd like to be known for my persona.

SPEAKER_04 14:55

Yeah. Same.

SPEAKER_02 14:57

Next question.

SPEAKER_04 14:58

Number five. Would you rather have a persona that represents your true self or one that represents what you wish you could be? I would say represents my true self, because that's how I already am.

SPEAKER_07 15:13

Didn't we already answer that?

SPEAKER_04 15:14

We did? This is a different question.

SPEAKER_07 15:17

Well, well, the one question was do you would you want your persona to be a snapshot of you or for it to grow with you? What's the question you just read?

SPEAKER_04 15:25

No, this is would it want like would you want a persona that represents yourself or one that represents what you wish you could be? Oh like for me, my persona is a dragon that is a veterinary technician, but somebody else could have an otter persona that wants to be an that's an astronaut, you know.

SPEAKER_07 15:46

Oh my my gears aren't turning. I understand now.

SPEAKER_04 15:49

You get it? You get it?

SPEAKER_06 15:52

They're fired up, they're running, they're moved up. I would like for you to repeat the question.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

You fucking bitch. Would you rather have a fersona that represents your true self or have a persona that shut the fuck up? Have a persona that represents who you could be. Who you wish you could be.

SPEAKER_07 16:25

I like my new fursona a lot, so unfortunately I think I'm gonna have to go with the first one just because I because that the the first question that I can definitely reword properly um would just be Dobes, the new Sona that I made. So I think therefore I think I would just rather him. Because I don't really have anything I strive to be to have a fursona be that. Right. I strive to be wealthy, not rich, but just money, a little um a dream job, I don't really know what that would be. So I the sona that represents me right now, that's what I would like. Number one, Uno. First Yup. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 17:04

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Number six. Would you rather lose the ability to create a new persona idea or lose all access to all of your art of your current persona?

SPEAKER_07 17:19

Lose the ability to make a new fursona, lose all the art of your current persona.

SPEAKER_04 17:23

Which I know you technically have two now.

SPEAKER_07 17:26

Wouldn't you Okay, I guess it's requiring me to think. That's my problem. I have to think. I had a I had a long day. Did you drink a Celsius? No, I did not. I have a I had a caffeine pouch in my mouth right now. I would like to not lose any of my current Sona art.

SPEAKER_04 17:47

Okay, so you never so so you would choose to never create a new fursona?

SPEAKER_07 17:53

I'm not a big new fursona person. I like I mean, like I said, I did make dopes a little bit ago, but I mean he's already made, so then therefore I'm satisfied.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

My guy, how about you? High five.

SPEAKER_04 18:08

I think I would I would rather lose the ability to create a new fursona. Because I really have no interest in creating a new fersona. I did create a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_07 18:18

But then you would lose all your but then you would lose all the art for your current fursona.

SPEAKER_04 18:22

No. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't I don't want to lose all my art. That's what I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_06 18:27

But okay. I understand.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

Are you are you confused?

SPEAKER_02 18:35

No. Number seven.

SPEAKER_04 18:40

Would you rather design one perfect persona that everyone loves or create dozens of experimental characters that only a few people understand?

SPEAKER_07 18:50

A lot of people actually do that. But I'm a one sona kind of guy.

SPEAKER_04 18:55

Yeah, same.

SPEAKER_07 18:56

So I'd go with the first one.

SPEAKER_04 18:57

I'd go with the first one as well.

SPEAKER_07 18:59

Yeah. I'm not but I I know people like having a lot of different characters and stuff that have very unique personalities, and I respect that.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

Not my thing, but I respect that. I respect that. I respect you.

SPEAKER_04 19:09

Number eight. Would you rather have incredible artistic skills or would you rather have limited I'm sorry, limitless imagination for character ideas? I would say uh artistic skills because I don't have any artistic skills.

SPEAKER_07 19:27

Mine aren't good, but I'd like better artistic skills.

SPEAKER_04 19:29

I think yours are great.

SPEAKER_07 19:31

They're not. But thank you. But no.

SPEAKER_04 19:33

I think they're good.

SPEAKER_07 19:34

I'd like mine to be better.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

Better.

SPEAKER_07 19:37

And again, I don't want to create more personas.

SPEAKER_04 19:39

Perfect practice makes perfect, my friend.

SPEAKER_07 19:42

If you strive for perfect, you're gonna be met with imperfections.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

Well, yes, but perfect practice.

SPEAKER_07 19:47

And only imperfections. Perfect.

SPEAKER_04 19:51

There's perfect practice. You can't practice perfectly. You can practice as perfectly as you can.

SPEAKER_07 19:56

Perfect is losing the meaning the more we say it. It doesn't sound right anymore. It's too perfect.

SPEAKER_04 20:02

Number nine! Would you rather have your persona become a cultural icon or remain deeply personal and known only to a few friends? Hmm.

SPEAKER_07 20:13

Oh I low-key kind of want to be a cultural icon. I think it'd be cool to be icon, but I don't sh I I I think I'd answer the same with you, but I don't strive it to be that way. I think it'd just be cool. Yeah. I don't need it to be that way, but I think I don't need the option.

SPEAKER_04 20:29

It'd be pretty sick.

SPEAKER_07 20:30

Yeah. I've been personal long enough.

SPEAKER_04 20:33

Let me be in the spotlight. Let's be in the spotlight together. We are in the spotlight, my friend. Well, this is our this is our podcast. Oh yeah. And we have our lovely listeners.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

It's a what is happening?

SPEAKER_04 20:49

Are you okay? Number ten! Would you rather see your persona brought to life perfectly in animation or experience being them yourself for a day?

SPEAKER_07 21:06

Animation.

SPEAKER_04 21:07

Animation would be sick.

SPEAKER_07 21:09

I had Adobe animated for a very short bit as a old YouTube intro. And even that. I remember that. Even as short and small that as that was, that was cool.

SPEAKER_04 21:20

So seeing in like let's say like a 15-minute episode where he was where where he was where he was jumping up and grabbing the uh the little curtain thingy.

SPEAKER_07 21:28

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:29

Yeah, that was cool.

SPEAKER_07 21:30

Yeah, I think that'd be cool seeing like if I had like a like a a good animated show or something, or just like a casual life thing for like 15 minutes of of my persona.

SPEAKER_05 21:40

Oh, that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_07 21:41

I think the day thing would be really cool, but what am I gonna do? Stroke myself the whole time? Like uh you fucking freak.

SPEAKER_04 21:52

Number 11. Would you rather have a small, close, furry friend group or be well known across the entire family? I want to I want a close I want a close friend group.

SPEAKER_07 22:03

Close friend group.

SPEAKER_04 22:04

It can be a big friend group, but close.

SPEAKER_07 22:06

I would like a yeah, I would like a close friend group.

SPEAKER_04 22:08

Yeah. I don't really want to be a poppy fur.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

I don't I don't need to be one.

SPEAKER_04 22:14

I don't need to be one either.

SPEAKER_07 22:15

I don't care to be known, but I also don't want to be popular, if that makes sense. Right. I don't care if I'm known. It doesn't bother me if for a magical event makes that happen, but I I don't I'm okay. I don't need that to happen by choice.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

My tummy's making not good tummy noises.

SPEAKER_05 22:33

Do you have to poop?

SPEAKER_07 22:35

No, it's just like it's really loud. Like I don't I don't think my mic's picking it up, but no, honestly. Well yes, but I just devoured crackers. Oh, go eat, bro. We'll take a little break. We'll take a little break. I'll re- I'll remake the I don't have time to eat. I I it went anyway, moving on.

SPEAKER_04 22:55

What number were we on? Oh, um I don't know. Number 12. I really have to pee. Number 12! Would you rather help shape the future of the furry fandom or simply enjoy being part of it without responsibility? I think I would like to help shape the future of it.

SPEAKER_07 23:13

Me too. Yeah. I don't mind taking on responsibility.

SPEAKER_04 23:18

Initiative.

SPEAKER_07 23:19

Yeah. I'm I'm used to it. I like to, honestly, because I don't mind it.

SPEAKER_04 23:24

SPEAKER_07 23:46

Yeah. Go piss horsey.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

I'm ready. I'm ready.

SPEAKER_04 24:31

I'm ready. I'm ready. Would you rather attend conventions every year or maintain a lifelong online friendship within the fandom? I would rather attend a convention every year. Technically, I'm convin I'm I'm still gonna be attending the convention this year. I'm gonna go to TFF this year for a few days.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

I'd pick lifelong friendship.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

Yeah, no, I mean, no, no, no, because no, because you're my lifelong. You're my b you're my buddy.

SPEAKER_06 25:04

Yeah, but like it's implied. It's implied that you're there.

SPEAKER_04 25:08

It's implied that you're there because I love you. It's either or you don't get both. I don't give a fuck. I make up the fucking rules, you little bitch.

SPEAKER_07 25:17

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's a hard choice, in my opinion. That's a hard choice. My opinion. Personally. Uh okay, okay. But since I don't have that friend to have that lifelong friendship with in the 10th, I would also pick cons every year. I think cons are a great thing to go to. And you know you can always make new friends, you know?

SPEAKER_04 25:40

But I'm scared of people.

SPEAKER_07 25:42

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04 25:47

We're fine.

SPEAKER_07 25:48

I'm so fine.

SPEAKER_04 25:50

Yes, you are.

SPEAKER_07 25:51

People are gonna think we're actually dating. We both have girlfriends.

SPEAKER_04 25:55

I have a fiance. Ah, how nice. My dragoness fiance.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

Oh, I think I must get myself one of those. Oh, how much was yours?

SPEAKER_05 26:10

Oh, how much was yours? Mmm. Is she for sale? Only for the red price. Bad bit! Bad bit!

SPEAKER_04 26:22

Very bad bit. Bad bit! Very bad bit. Don't put that in. Okay, number number 14.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

I might put that in.

SPEAKER_04 26:32

Would you rather be known as a mim as a mentor in the fandom or be remembered as someone who brought joy and humor to it?

SPEAKER_07 26:39

That one. That one. That one already.

SPEAKER_04 26:40

Joy and humor for sure.

SPEAKER_07 26:42

I mean, we try to do that already.

SPEAKER_04 26:45

We be bringing joy and shit.

SPEAKER_07 26:46

But it's okay. We're not lifelong best friends, apparently.

SPEAKER_04 26:49

Technically, we're not yet. But we we will be at a certain point, you know?

SPEAKER_07 26:55

Why do you gotta put stop putting your finger in my wounds? They already hurt.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

I'm putting them in there and I'm dinging around and um I need alcohol. I already finished my drink.

SPEAKER_07 27:06

Alright, good. Good boy.

SPEAKER_04 27:08

Oh good boy.

SPEAKER_07 27:10

No, you're bad fucking boy.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

I'm not call- Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 27:14

Next question!

SPEAKER_04 27:16

Ooh. Where were we? Number 15. Would you rather protect the fandom from outside criticism or change it internally for the better? Change it internally for the better.

SPEAKER_07 27:30

Change what internally?

SPEAKER_04 27:32

The furry fandom.

SPEAKER_07 27:34

Okay, I thought I meant the criticism. Yeah, I'd pick that one. Outside criticism isn't necessarily a bad thing. I mean, everything and everyone and every anything gets criticism.

SPEAKER_01 27:45

I think holy fucking shit!

SPEAKER_07 27:56

Did your demons come out? You're no longer depressed anymore, are you? I don't think so. God damn. Is it the seven circles of hell? Is that what it is? They all I'm gonna do.

SPEAKER_06 28:09

I think I just unlocked the tenth. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 28:15

Um criticism good. I'd pick second option so we could change anything in the fandom that should get changed, but right, right.

SPEAKER_04 28:25

Okay, not now we'll switch it up to like identity versus reality. Would you rather live one entire year entirely as your persona in the real world, or have your persona exist alongside you as a separate being?

SPEAKER_01 28:41

Ooh, that's a tough one.

SPEAKER_07 28:44

Separate being because that sounds permanent. Separate being. Separate being would be sick. I would do separate being. That sounds cool. You'd be my homie for real. Yeah, that'd be cool. Be my actual ride or die. You know, my lifelong furry best friend that I could actually have. Oh, yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah, yeah. That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_04 29:00

I'd really like our first our act if that was the case, if that was the case, it would be me and you and our personas together forever. Together forever.

SPEAKER_07 29:09

Oh you didn't seem like you wanted to be too. What do you mean I didn't seem like I'm gonna win again?

SPEAKER_01 29:14

Together forever.

SPEAKER_07 29:18

You sound like you're about to you're warming up for a screamo band.

SPEAKER_05 29:21

I can't I can't scream like that.

SPEAKER_07 29:23

Adobe MP3 it's that one. I have a lot of weird things that you said that I've kept I keep the best Ryu moments in in the episodes. I just want everyone to know.

SPEAKER_04 29:33

You have a folder of the best Ryu moments?

SPEAKER_07 29:35

I mean you wouldn't think so. I think so. I wanna know. Just rewatch the episodes, you'll see them. I kept all of them in. What are you doing? Stop! Stop doing that! I'm gonna start making you pay me to edit. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_04 29:54

I almost threw up. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

Number 17. What did what happened?

SPEAKER_04 30:00

Shut the fuck up. What happened? Oh my god, I'm about to muzzle you. What happened?

SPEAKER_02 30:07

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 30:16

Don't put off in the mic!

SPEAKER_04 30:20

Why was there an airborne? Number 17. Would you rather lose your fursona forever or never be able to change them again? Never be able to change them again.

SPEAKER_07 30:39

Never be able to change them again. That's an easy one.

SPEAKER_04 30:42

Number 18. Would you rather people see your fersona when they look at you online or they always see the real you behind the character? My persona! My persona. Fersona. Persona.

SPEAKER_07 30:55

This tells us about the thing.

SPEAKER_04 30:56

Persona, persona, persona, persona. Huh? This episode tells a lot about us. Y'all are getting real personal with us. We are getting a little personal. Next question! Next question number 19. Would you rather share your persona with the world or keep them private as waiting? That one we did. We already yeah, that one's kind of similar.

SPEAKER_07 31:18

Lightning round! Lightning round 10 of them. Let's light your round right now. We don't we no no we we don't give any like explanations, just which one we pick. Go! Or if you want to.

SPEAKER_04 31:27

Wait. Would you rather share your persona with the world or keep them private? Keep them as a private part of yourself. Share my fursona with the world. Number 20! Would you rather have your fursona perfectly represent your personality or represent your deepest aspirations? Ooh. Personality. Aspirations. Next question! Would you rather visit a world where everyone has a fersona or bring your fursona into the real world for one day? I'd rather go to the fursona world.

SPEAKER_07 31:57

Persona world.

SPEAKER_04 31:58

I don't want to be a persona world.

SPEAKER_07 32:00

Could I bring a plus one with me?

SPEAKER_04 32:01

It's like a Pokemon at that point.

SPEAKER_07 32:04

That's kind of what it sounds like. Oh yeah. Kind of, yeah. That sounds cool.

SPEAKER_04 32:07

Where are we? Number 20.

SPEAKER_07 32:10

I don't know. Why are you asking me where we're at? How am I supposed to know? Shut up. Shut up.

SPEAKER_04 32:17

Number 22. You can't make me. We're gonna get it to 25 and then we'll call it.

SPEAKER_07 32:22

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_04 32:23

Would you rather explore endless fictional worlds as your persona or experience one perfect adventure with them in reality?

SPEAKER_07 32:32

I wanna ex explore endless fictional worlds as my persona. That sounds sick.

SPEAKER_04 32:38

That sounds awesome.

SPEAKER_07 32:39

That sounds so bad.

SPEAKER_04 32:40

That sounds so badass. I I wanna do that. That reminds me of the game No No Man's Sky. Oh, I love No Man's Sky. Dude, it's such a beautiful game.

SPEAKER_07 32:49

It is. I gotta start playing that more, but I play a lot of Marathon. How is that treating you? That's so good, but no one fucking no one I know plays it.

SPEAKER_00 32:59

It's so good.

SPEAKER_07 33:00

I don't play it, so. I wasn't asking you to play it, so don't worry. I don't want to play with you. We're not gonna be like lifelong for your best friends anyway. Whatever.

SPEAKER_04 33:08

We never number 23. Would you rather be able to transform into your fursona whenever you want? Or have your fursona able to cor communicate directly with you?

SPEAKER_07 33:22

Transform whenever I want.

SPEAKER_04 33:24

Transform.

SPEAKER_07 33:25

Transform. That'd be fun. Unless it would hurt. If the transformation hurt, all right.

SPEAKER_04 33:31

This one's kind of a a similar question to the um to 21. Would you rather live in a world where anthropomorphic animals are normal? Or be the only one who can become one?

SPEAKER_07 33:44

No. That uh oh. So I wouldn't be anthropomorphic if I was in the anthropomorphic world. I would just live around anthropomorphized. Yeah. That's a hard one. So it's either everyone and not me, or just me and not everyone. Yep. Yep. That's a toughie. I'd feel like an outlier either way. I'd be I'd be I'd be different either way.

SPEAKER_04 34:07

I'd probably pick a world where anthropomorphic animals are normal because I could make anthro friends.

SPEAKER_07 34:13

Yeah. I would do that. I would make any friends who don't make fun of me and call me short.

SPEAKER_04 34:18

Yeah. You're right. Because people like that suck. You know? I agree. They s they they they in my in my apartment. Number twenty five. Would you rather forget how you discovered the fandom? Oh, or forget the friendships you made in it. I'd rather forget how I fucking forg how I discovered it.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

How I how how the fandom? Uh how how I what the fandom? What what kind of question? Have the fandom! What kind of fucking question is that?

SPEAKER_07 35:03

Yeah, I'd rather you're the one that asked it.

SPEAKER_06 35:05

You're the one that asked the dumb question. No.

SPEAKER_05 35:09
