Wizard Wednesday Episode 43

Bearsnake: [00:00:00] Hello everybody.

Elf: Live from New York City. It's Wizard Wednesday.

Okay. Okay. We have a very, very special episode of Win Wizard Wednesday. We are broadcasting live from New York City. We are in a hotel and I am not alone. Right next. To me, I have Bear Snake. Give Ahoo Pu Crows tad major, Dr. Slurp, Lochness, JIT, maple dad, my family all sitting right next to.

Um, Doda, what are we gonna talk about today? Oh,

Dotta: we're gonna talk about the party cuz I know that not everybody who's listening in could make it all the way to New York. So we've got, we've got so much to cover with everyone. It was incredible. [00:01:00] It, it was so, such a joy to meet everyone. Uh, everyone came out and the vibe was so chill and the people were giving hugs and, uh, it was just, just such

Elf: a joyful night.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was, it was, it exceeded all expectations. Um, you know, I, I'm gonna give just like a brief, uh, recap of, uh, just, you know, The, the whole party. Um, you know, it's funny cuz I, I got here the first night and, um, bear and I actually had dinner with, uh, Merlin in realize, uh, those guys are a couple of mins.

We were out till 2:00 AM with them. Uh, they were just blowing my mind with their wisdom and kindness. And what I realized after hanging out with those guys is this is the tone for the entire trip. And I was just totally invigorated to meet. Other cult members. Um, and so then over the next two days, [00:02:00] um, one of the funny things was I kept hearing Bear wonder loud shit, what if nobody shows up?

What if true? What if, what if, what if only 10 people show up? Um, and, and I could see a genuine look of fear in his eyes, and then he started to freak me out. But, but then, then the day of the party comes. And, uh, it was either jitsu or Locke post a photo in our team Discord or, okay, it was bear of a line going out the door.

The cult showed up and, uh, the, that first fear of no one showing up was, um, was no longer, but then I, then their new fear crept up. Oh, holy shit. I hope this party is good. Um, so, so, okay, so I'm worried about that. So, so here's a few highlights. Um, and maybe I'll ask these other guys what, you know, their highlights.

But, you know, I really loved, um, the little [00:03:00] fucking adorable polka dot pony standing outside a literal pony. Um, we actually dressed him up as one of the ponies in col in the collection. Uh, goblin The Handsome, uh, which is owned by hitech. Um, so that was going on outside, by the way, by the way.

Bearsnake: I just wanna say that we could not get the proper permits for the pony, but we went rogue and we did the pony anyway.

Elf: Illegal ponies?

Bearsnake: No, no ponies were hurt.

Elf: Gorilla Ponies making his party. No, goblin was happy. Um, and then, uh, and then immediately, immediately when you walked inside, um, the fucking magical vibe immediately hit you, right? Like, I don't know how they did it. It was the lighting, it was the, the, the, the set. It was just everybody had a smile on their face.

There was just this warmth and, um, you know, maybe it was because immediately when you get in there, there's these giant mushrooms right at the entrance. Uh, and, and then to your, to your right, there was a 15 [00:04:00] foot replica of the Secret Tower itself. Um, and then to your left was, uh, were these huge, uh, lenticular portraits of like, of the, of the seven beasts on the wall, um, just looking majestic as fuck.

Um, yeah, I've got a few others, but lemme go around the room. Uh, give a, who do you wanna.

Tadmajor: Sure, sure. Yeah. I mean, it was amazing. I would think the highlight for me, obviously everyone's gonna say meeting everyone and just saying like, your handle and everyone, like the light bulb going off in people's eyes like, oh my God, you're Dr.

S slur. Like, oh my God. You're like, so that mean that was amazing. I mean, but I mean, Oliver Tree as, as Chad bro, like so good. He gets standing ovations for rest of his life for, for putting on a performance. It was amazing. Yeah. Too gross. It's two crows.

Dotta: That's right.

Tadmajor: Uh, it was amazing. The obvious one is, is, uh, meeting other wizards.

Uh, it was amazing. I [00:05:00] went from pod to pod to pod of people. And then I, uh, and then because I'm, uh, blessed to know a lot of Magic Machine, I was then asked, do you know if any of those guys are around? And I'm like, yeah, they're all over the place. So then I started touring people around to find Elf and Dota and Bear and Locke and Jitsu.

And then it was like, did you see this wizard and that wizard? So I just pretty much played Wizard Connector. Yeah. The night, which, which I, yeah, I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I almost took in none of the event, I barely even got a drink because the line was so long. So I stood, actually where I got to my long line experience was actually meeting Doda for the first time.

It

Elf: was so fun. You stand in line to meet Doda.

Tadmajor: I know. And it was really long, but it was worth it at the end because I was given a drink. Hilarious. Uh, and so that was fantastic. And, uh, And so, I don't know, I just love the whole thing. I, uh, I melted a jelly donut into my

Dotta: hand and then

Tadmajor: [00:06:00] shook sticky hands with everyone after that.

So if you shook my sticky hand, it was a donut.

Hey, Colt, uh, tad Major. Uh, just to just, uh, talk about everything that they said. I think give Ahoo. Laid it out, like just meeting different wizards and seeing people face to face and the, the response that you would get when someone who you've, you've had this connection with online for so long sees you in person and you see that light in their eyes.

It just, it crushes your soul. I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing how, uh, How connected we've all been for so long, and then to, to be able to physically be in the same space as one another was really, truly magic. And, um, yeah, being able to meet some of the team, all the OG wizards, all the new warrior holders just hanging out in line.

I mean, the energy all night was electric. Just there were, there were no bad vibes anywhere. And, uh, as, as two crows was saying, really like hanging out with people and just the domino of introductions, you would be standing next to someone you're like, oh, hey, do you know [00:07:00] who's standing just behind me?

That's fucking hoo. Oh, hey, do you know who this is? It's amazing. And it's like, yeah. I actually, oh, I feel so bad for tv. I didn't hear his name. We were in the Oliver Tree Show. I just gave him a big stupid hug, not knowing who he was. And embarrassingly, I heard someone introduce him later and I was like, oh God, your TV come here.

I need to, I need to like, properly greet you. But no, just the, the camaraderie and just having, having the whole cult together was just truly amazing. Uh, we, we really have a, a special group here and to, to see it live, to see it in vivo, it's, it's something that's undeniable. So it's Dr. Slurp. What's good?

Everybody Slurp. Hey, slurp. What's good? How you do it. So one of the highlights for me was I met Grayling upstairs, like right before the ritual started, and he was like, oh, I made the music for this event and for the ritual that's about to happen. He was so excited about that. And another highlight was downstairs when I first walked in, there's this like mushroom field with like a field of grass under, and like they had these like tree stumps with like old video game [00:08:00] controllers and you could control different like elemental powers.

And if everybody put like, worked together and put the elemental powers in the middle, this thing happened and there was like a giant hurricane or like purple magic that emanated.

Bearsnake: It was just cool. The light in the secret tower shot, it wasn't like as

Tadmajor: Oh, is that when it would turn white? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I saw other people, like, I I, I thought the ritual was gonna actually happen in the secret tower.

I thought the white was like hinting at that. Yeah. It was fucking awesome la. Hi. Hi.

Oh, man. Yeah. Um, if you didn't know who I was, I was wearing a bedazzled blue mask with like a black long. Gown, epic, like collar. Just wanted to have a little cult-like moment. Uh, my favorite part was definitely [00:09:00] being a part of the ritual and Mag Wasier coming up the stairs and into the book of Lore area and everyone just sort of gasping.

I don't know if anyone noticed that, but people are like, I noticed that. So safe to say that works. Chit see, hey everybody. Um, I mean everyone's kind of said some of the bigger highlights in my head. I have one specific thing that, I mean, I probably told tons of people, but not the person here at the table as well.

My favorite moment of the night was when I met Tad actually, cuz like for whatever fricking reason about, I mean last New Year's Tad and I both got drunk and the first thing we did was go on Discord and talk to each other at midnight. And that was like, for whatever reason I'm just like, this is so funny, so fun.

And then like, you know, to be able to meet Tad in person, just being the same vibrant, awesome person that you are On Discord too, dude, I just freaking love you is so great. But there's, there's so many more people that I met and I can't even express how awesome it was to hug people. Appreciate them and just like, be happy they're here.

So that's all I got.

Elf: Give. Yeah. Yeah. [00:10:00] Um, we, okay. We've got, we've got, hold on, lemme, lemme start here. We've got two more, uh, one more wizard who walked up meet prisoner. Just real quick, what was your highlight of the party? Uh, meeting everybody, of course,

Tadmajor: like everybody else is saying, but it, it, it was just blowing me away to meet everybody and just to see

Dotta: like you, when you put eyes on people and you go like, yeah, I

Tadmajor: am, I am in this, this is, this is me.

I am a wizard. I like, I, I, I. We, we, we get it. It's, it's, it's,

Dotta: yeah, it was a wonderful time. I don't know. I dunno what to say.

Elf: Totally agree. Doug, did you wanna say something?

Tadmajor: Oh,

Dotta: I have so many. So, yeah. So meeting Shark Child, I don't, so if you ever get the chance to meet Shark Child in real life, the man is, is larger than life.

He's got this giant infectious laugh that he's just such a joy to be around. And then, Um, you know, uh, shout out to, uh, Tom and Moron Global, you know, noodle alarms and, uh, the whole crew there. Um, I'm sure you might saw on Twitter the, uh, the [00:11:00] video of Tom, like crowd surfing, which was just amazing. Yes. They really kept the party going.

Elf: Speaking of Moron Global, I am currently decked out in nothing but moron global gear. I think Bear Snake thinks that I'm quitting Magic Machine and going to work for Moron Global.

Um,

Dotta: yeah, the, the, uh, like gerrymander was there and he introduced me to so many people. Chatta Bob brought, uh, empty shake stickers and was passing 'em around. Uh, there was some amazing costumes from the one who rings and also artist rock. They dressed up and just look. So good. Um, and also Tabitha of the marsh dressed up as like a big green witch, which you know, was already in the video that we sent out.

I want to give a particular shout out to Hen Boyd. So, you know, we were manning the merch table and there was a lot going on there, big lines and, you know, just as like kind of progresses and was getting bit later, you know, there was just, just one [00:12:00] moment, one moment where. Uh, the people manning the merch just had to step away and, you know, get a drink or whatever and, you know, that was all it took.

There was, you know, some people there, I don't think they were necessarily cult members who started like, jumping behind the counter and like going through the boxes of merch and just like taking arm poles and Henry Boyd was having none of it. Henry Boyd, defender of the merch jumps in there. He is like, no, no, no, no, no.

And he, he pushes all the people out behind the booth and, and he goes, me, he's like, Donna, Donna, what are the requirements for these merch? People are just jumping in here and taking shirts and, you know, so we just really appreciate that.

Elf: Yeah, yeah. You know, it's, it's a shame. Hen Boyd is one person I, I didn't meet for whatever reason.

I just, uh, I couldn't find him. Um, oh's great. But yeah, I mean, you know, again, that was the best thing for me as well. Just putting faces to the Twitter names, to the discord names. Everybody was awesome. Um, it was definitely my favorite thing. Um, Also, uh, [00:13:00] let's talk about Oliver, a k a Gigas Chad. Mm-hmm. Um, there's a few highlights from that performance.

So, you know, it, the whole thing started with, uh, again, Magnus Waze, uh, you know, like out of nowhere you start hearing this bell ringing and this, this bell is just like ringing and it keeps ringing. And everybody like suddenly like stops what they're doing and they look towards the source of the bell.

And then Mag was here, comes down the stairs, and he is followed by these mysterious masked figures carrying, uh, like big platters of jelly donuts. And after they finished that, a full-sized replica of the Beast Gate rolls out. The music starts and Oliver comes forth dressed as the gigas Chad, and everybody loses their shit.

Um, and so. [00:14:00] You know, the amazing thing is that like Oliver really, really got into the character maybe even too much.

Um, what, what I mean by that is, um, he was very aggressive. And at one point, um, somebody jumped on the stage. I don't even know if this person was a cult member. I don't think so. But Oliver literally grabbed the guy body, slammed him. And then started mock punching him? Um, yeah. Yeah. I don't think he actually punched him.

Um, but we didn't know it at the time. We, in fact, nobody knew what the hell was going on. We didn't know if it was real. We didn't know if it was stage. And everyone's like, holy fucking shit. Gigas Chad just took down some dude. That's

Bearsnake: what Gigas Chad does and

Elf: that's what Gigas Chad does. [00:15:00] And um, yeah, and then the security got the guy out of there.

But, um, man, yeah, gigas Chad was there in full force. Um, I think there's even videos of it. I don't know if we will. Probably the secret tower. It's definitely in the secret tower. We may post it on our Twitter. I think, uh, Oliver's PR team is like trying to figure out if they wanna actually publicize this.

Um, I just hope it shows up on TMZ or worldstar

and if that one can edit and make it ourselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but ask, can I ask a question? Yeah. Yeah.

Tadmajor: Let's give, I, I'm curious, has anyone talked to Oliver? Did he have a good time? Cause he seemed like he legitimately enjoyed that

Bearsnake: character. Like, so from like the second it's bear, so from the second, um, I, I remember we, we got on the first Zoom call with him.

His energy was super high and uh, and so I walk him through what forgotten rooms is all about, the vibes, the characters of the [00:16:00] world. The depth and the the story. And he's like, he's like shaking. He's like nodding his head. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, this is fucking dope. And then the next thing out of his mouth is, can I dress up as a character?

And I don't know if it was Locke's idea or my idea, I don't even know whose it was, but we, it was like Gigas Chad, you are gigas Chad. It has to be gig as Chad. And so and so. We get off that call. And, um, and then like we'd do the deal or whatever and, um, and Locke, he's like, I need more information about, like, gig is Chad, or like the Chad Meme.

And so then Locke proceeds to make a full blown presentation of who gig is. Chad is what the Chad meme is. I mean, there's. You wrote some stuff in there. I was like, shocked that that came outta your keyboard, but it was like, I'm pretty sure it's like the first like PowerPoint Chad presentation and [00:17:00] she, you just, you nailed it and then, okay, so then like night of.

By the way, he's like in a chair in the back and like getting these prosthetics and the, and I kept checking on him cuz he was in prosthetics for like three hours. I'm like, dude, are you okay? Are you okay? He's like, yeah, I'm so excited. He's like, shaking. Like the, the, the makeup woman was like, can you please stop moving around?

He's like, can't stop. I'm so excited. So he just, he has, so dad, he had the best time ever. He thought it was like, it's like it so fits into what he is. And I think that was really cool. Is like to like, he's not like the biggest name. Right. And, but like, that wasn't the goal. The goal was to find someone who like could embody what we're about and he totally nailed it.

And he had a fantastic time. Yeah. He nailed it.

Elf: Yep. Agree. You could tell he was having fun. Um, and everybody loved it. Um. Are you ready? Uh, yeah. And so, uh, maple dad was there. He was, uh, getting a lot of great recordings. Um, and I think he has maybe a few to share with us. [00:18:00] Take it away. Hey. Hey.

Tadmajor: Mele dad here.

So, yeah, I was, I was having a blast, uh, just running around with my phone, just recording anyone who had talked to me. Um, and I've got a few little. Queued up on my soundboard here, so I'm gonna share. I'm not sure how well the cult listening is gonna be able to hear. I'll do my best though. So, uh, I chatted with Chris and Chips.

Uh, chips is the pony, and Chris is the man from rural Pennsylvania who drove in to downtown Manhattan. And, uh, let's see what he had to say here. What's, is this the craziest thing you, you and

Bearsnake: Chip have ever done? Yes.

Tadmajor: Coming to Manhattan. And seeing all these adults that wanted to see comic books, that's new to us, you know?

Elf: Yeah, yeah. I mean

Tadmajor: we're We're pretty weird. Yeah,

Bearsnake: absolutely. Yeah.

Tadmajor: You're doing great, chip. You're doing great. We all, like Guy said to me, he said, I feel a little silly

Bearsnake: taking a picture with a pound.

Dotta: I said, if you don't feel silly from watching a

Bearsnake: comic books, if

Dotta: he [00:19:00] shouldn't feel silly

Elf: looking a picture with the That's right.

I mean,

Tadmajor: you're already

Bearsnake: there. Yeah. Yeah. We passed that corner a long time ago,

Tadmajor: so yeah. That's, That's Chips and the Pony. Um, we'll, uh, we'll check in again cuz I might have a few more to share a little later on. I'll pass it back. Yeah. Lemme

Elf: know. Okay, great. Yeah. Um, yeah, I, I also chatted with the, uh, the, the pony guy. Um, he was gracious enough to even wear a wizard cloak, uh, as he was wrangling the pony.

Um, and he, he was super interested in what the hell was going on. He didn't understand any of it, but he wanted to know all about it. Um, so he was awesome. Sorry, do, did you wanna say something? No, no, it was good. Oh, okay.

Tadmajor: Uh,

Dotta: yeah, I, so the one thing that also that happened was like, towards the end of the night, just as we were about finishing my, uh, I brought my cousin and he was there, and, um, my cousin noticed that some, you know how there were swords on the display?

Somebody, I don't know who it was, [00:20:00] uh, was, was taking a sword off the wall and they were gonna take it. So he walks over and he's like, Hey, what are you doing? Oh, you, oh, you know, just hanging out. And, uh, he's, he's just like, I, you know, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be taking that sword. And he is like, oh, no, no, like, it's my thing.

And my cousin's just like, oh, stealing stuff's your thing. And he's just like, no, no, no. Like I love swords. Like I'm, oh man, let me have this sword. Please. I'm gonna make this sword legendary. And, you know, he talks to him, whatever, just leaves him. A few minutes later, they look over the swords missing on the wall and the guy's just walking out stiffed leg.

Like, he like stuffed the sword in his pants

Elf: and was like walking

Dotta: like he had like a stiff leg. And uh, yeah, apparently he has plans to make that sword a legendary sword of the universe. So, you know, if he does that, Yeah, he'll have earned it, but so, so be on the lookout or maybe he just, you know, wanted to keep it so we'll see.

Elf: Lemme see.

Bearsnake: Alright. Just, uh, it's bare. So one thing that I think everybody, like as we checked in around the tables, like the, like the, the [00:21:00] buzzword is, is hugs. And I think like, um, something that even I'm getting messages from other, from other people, uh, that attended the party that are going to these other parties and there are awesome other parties.

I think the difference, um, For us is that like, like in my mind, like I don't think I've given that many hugs to people, especially that I haven't known in like ever. It's like the most condensed amount of hugs I've ever given in a couple hours. Mm-hmm. And I think that alone, everybody else was experiencing that.

And so like when you're party is like the foundation of your party is hugs, that's what made it special, right? Because like we're talking about all these connections, these people that we haven't met before in person, but you know really well. And so like, When you're going around hugging everybody, of course the party's gonna be awesome.

Everybody's hugging. That's the secret. It's the secret. It's hugs.

Dotta: Yeah. There was two, there was two takeaways that I had for the party in particular, which that, which I wanna institute for like all future parties. And one of 'em [00:22:00] is, uh, this idea of, uh, a minimal v i p area, right? That like, you know, you heard about some other parties where.

You know, there were, there were areas that even the token holders couldn't get into, you know, like, and I get it, whatever. We had a back room, but it wasn't like a place to be where we were all like hanging out with just like the famous people. Right? Like the Wizards cult isn't built on like the backs of celebrities, right?

It's not a celebrity driven party. It's, it's, it's a party that's driven by just like, Getting together with your friends and having fun and you know, giving hugs. And so I think that's one principle that I like want to keep, which is minimal v i p area. And then the second one is just like founders on the floor.

Right? Again, you saw tweets going around about like other parties where they, the founders were nowhere to be found. And I think that, like for me, like the biggest joy of the whole night was, was going around meeting new people as everyone said, and then, I knew everyone who, who was there because of something that they'd contributed to the cult.

Right? You know, you met Zuki and bread and they're of course legendary, right? You, [00:23:00] you meet retired yield farmer and bam bam, and cheddar bob and acid eater, and, uh, so many people. Yeah, Panico is there. Tad Major, Tanya Del Rio, like so many people that, and I could name you something that they've done to the cult.

And so I think that's another part too is just like founders on the floor, the Magic machine team is gonna be like out and, and meeting with everyone, not like up in some, you know, high tower. And so, Yeah,

Elf: those, those, yeah. I, I, I could have been hanging back with Logan Paul backstage, but I didn't really wanna Yeah.

Um, but hold on, we might be getting kicked out of the conference room. Okay. So I'm gonna

Dotta: carry it and I'm already, uh, yeah. Anybody

Elf: else wanna come up on? Okay, hold on. Jt. Jesse's gonna smooth this over. Okay.

Tadmajor: Okay. I can feel

Elf: it again. Yeah, yeah. Hold on. Tad wants say something.

Tadmajor: Okay, great. While we're, while we're trying to figure out if we're gonna actively get kicked out of this room, I would like to talk about how amazing it [00:24:00] was to meet ELs mother.

I, I actually, I had maybe the longest conversation of the entire night just sitting, talking to this wonderful woman who was so amazingly proud. Of her son and what he built and how everyone was kind of like rallying around it. And that was a really cool thing. So like, like you said, founders on the floor and bringing your family to events and like being a part of all of that.

I mean, it, it's just, there's no, there's no doubt in anyone's mind about how genuine and how, uh, just, just dedicated to all of this, all of these, these founders are, and it's, it's truly just amazing to be a part of it all.

Dotta: It was such a delight to meet Elf's, mom and dad and sister. And you know, elf and I have worked together for I think 12 years now, and I just, for whatever reason, you know, I, they, I've never met them and so it was, they were so delightful.

Yeah, and you can just, See and hear the twinkle, um, in her eye every time she talks about him. And they're like, and his sister too. They're just so proud of him and is just, yeah.

Elf: Delightful. Delightful. I [00:25:00] I, uh, one thing my mom asked me over and over was to not put her on the stage in any capacity. So I'm gonna do that right now.

So, mom, do you have any comments on the party? Uh,

Tadmajor: Oh, I have a lot of comments, but I don't know if you wanna

Dotta: hear 'em. We do. We do wanna hear 'em, but I

Tadmajor: do wanna say, you know, the mother of ANF is also known as

Dotta: the Queen.

Elf: Yeah. Yeah, she just, the prince now I'm embarrassed. El

Tadmajor: is, el is lobster red right now.

Elf: Tried to embarrass, but I embarrassed myself.

Um, all, what's next are, are we kicked outta this room yet?

We, we, we might [00:26:00] have, I don't know, 10 minutes left. This might be a short wizard. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. But, Uh, yeah, we're gonna get you kicked

Bearsnake: out. Yeah. We're we have like, we have

Elf: 10 minutes. We have 10 minutes. Okay. 10 more minutes. Um, uh, anybody, um, Tanya or anyone else like in the room, do you guys comments, questions?

Uh,

Dotta: well, another thing that we had at the, uh, gate, at the, uh, at the party was the Rudi verse gate. So yeah, the, the yesterday was, or the 20th was the first day that folks got to log into the game, walk around, hang out, find the frogs. I don't know exactly how many people have found. There's a hundred frogs, I believe, and I don't know how many people found all 100.

I don't think it's that many. It's only a handful. Is that right?

Bearsnake: If anyone know. Um, actually, actually, um, I just saw a tweet from the universe that like the first 25 people just found, uh, the, the Hunter Fox. So I think the first 25. Yeah.

Elf: Oh, wow. [00:27:00] That's quite a feat. Yeah, because the game map is fricking huge, big.

I didn't think anybody would do it. That's great.

Tadmajor: Water.

Dotta: Beat it in like four

Tadmajor: hours or something.

Bearsnake: Are you serious? Yeah. Let's give a shout out to Waterer Water. Shout out to water around the entire universe. Amazing. He's so tired. I think he's been sleeping for, for 48 hours. Since.

Tadmajor: Amazing. Take days. They're like, it'll take days.

Water beats it in four hours. Okay.

Elf: Amazing. Um, oh, there's water right there. Bring them up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Water. What are, tell us how you found all 100 frogs so damn fast. He's still Hello?

Tadmajor: Hey. Hey. Hi everyone. I, I was very quick. Um, but I think I got lucky cuz I was just first so, but it was very fun. I had such a blast.

Um, the art is great, the music is incredible. [00:28:00] If you haven't played, you definitely should. Um, it's very fun. All right. Made a few words. Let's go.

Elf: Awesome. Um, cool. Well, PEL, do you wanna sh share, share any other clips that you got? One of the points preparing that. There was, um,

Tadmajor: there was a lot of people having a great time, but there was some complaints too.

Um, and Dr. Polowski had something to say, so let's hear, uh, let's hear about that. Heard having a great time. It's only,

well, apparently the big industry, you know, they decided to pay twice their sponsorship to.

Bearsnake: King and the ocean

Tadmajor: factory. Uh, yeah, yeah. Into big

Dotta: business. Yeah. Yeah.

Elf: Bag.

Tadmajor: Yeah. They got money so they [00:29:00] got on anything.

Dotta: But, uh, for the smaller guys like us,

Tadmajor: it's hard economy. They have good products, not gonna lie, but

Dotta: again,

Tadmajor: Uh, well there you have it. I, I know I'll, I'll drop the audio in later too and there's gonna be much higher quality, uh, versions of that, but some gold from the show for sure. So

Elf: amazing. Awesome. Um, okay, well we should probably wrap up pretty soon, but I just wanna make sure anyone else at our live table give a hoot.

Two crows me prisoner tad slurp. Any of you guys have any final comments?

Tadmajor: I mean, yeah, I dunno. Just, um, an amazing pleasure to meet everyone. Like the cult is real. There we're real people having a really good time. What we're building here is amazing. Um, and, and yeah, I mean, you know, party was amazing. But then like, also just getting to spend some one-on-one time with people in a bar hanging out.

Um, I had a, we had a [00:30:00] Dungeons and Dragons session earlier today that was fantastic. And like, I mean, at Spoiler alert, the DM was amazing and would love to work with us some more. So, uh, okay. Good. So, heck yeah. So we might be able to revive the whole Dungeons and Dragons effort. But yeah, I don't know. It, it's just been, it's just been a blast.

Yeah. Oh,

Dotta: yeah. I think that there was so many, uh, people that I, that I, that I met, and then so many people that I wanted to meet that I didn't get a chance to. And the people that I got to talk to, I wanted to talk to more, and it was just, just so delightful.

Tadmajor: Yeah, you're so right. It was just really, I, I haven't felt this way and in so long.

I just, like the night never needed to end. Like every time I looked at my, my watch, bad time, very sad, like time needs to go down, but instead only up. And it was just like really disappointing that, that the time was taken away from me or there were no krono answers anywhere to stop time. It was even a green, a yellowhead wizard showed up, full guard, but he just did not have the, uh, the, the magic [00:31:00] that night.

Um, but truly, I, I could have stayed in there with all of you all for weeks. I mean, And it still wouldn't have been long enough. The, the only thing that I would say that was bad about that night is that I didn't get to meet every single person in there, because I'm sure there were a hundred of you that I would've loved to have, have been able to just meet your eyes and shake your hand.

And, um, you're all very special to all of us. I mean, you're, you're really amazing people. Whether you were here in New York or not, you're, you're definitely our family. And, um, it's really cool to be able to kind of circle everyone together and then just see it, see it in action.

Dotta: That's great. That's great.

Elf: Yep. Yep. Did you wanna say something? I just wanted, yeah, meet

Tadmajor: one, one small thing. Just that everybody's beautiful and wonderful and I just couldn't get over how, how great everything was in meeting people and yeah, just so excited to be a part of this and. Yeah. Hi Tanya.

Dotta: Did you want to make a say something?

Tadmajor: No, I just wanna say thanks for everything. It was so much fun and I had the best time of my life. [00:32:00]

Dotta: Oh, great.

Elf: Yep. Yeah, I'm glad Tony came. Um, also, bill Gaines and Acid, you guys were awesome. Yep. Matrix was good to meet you. Yeah. Yep. Yep. And then, um, oh, one other crazy thing that we did not expect, uh, beast.

Zero. Is literally up in Times Square being displayed all week. Yeah. Um, yeah, if, if you're in, if you're Maps auction benefit. Yeah. Yeah. The Christie's Max, uh, maps auction Benefit, um, if you're in New York, you can see it. Um, it's gonna be displayed every hour on minute 50 all this week. And, uh, it's, it's right above a restaurant called Dominic's or.

Domi. No, no, no. I'll, I'll, I'll put it in the, in the secret tower. Do Caminos, do, do Caminos. That's what it is. Yeah. Do Caminos on Times Square. It's right above that. Um, I, so, so, yeah. That, that, that was awesome. [00:33:00] Um, all right, before we get kicked out, Donda, anyone else? Any final words? Locke, I think, oh, did you guys see Lochness costume?

Holy, it was so

Dotta: amazing. Yeah, it was so amazing.

Bearsnake: Uh, just real fast, real fast. It's bare. I just wanted to give a shout out to the magic machine team. So much planning went into this thing. I mean, we're talking like months and months, and I know like, It was, it was when you show up and, and everything looks so good and everybody's having a good time, like it takes, uh, a ton of attention to detail.

And so, um, you know, I would just, you know, the whole team came together was, you know, I think we have, we need, we have much like needed break the next couple days, hopefully after, uh, after this trip. But, um, everybody pitched in. Um, and so I just, I, uh, I can't say enough about the team. We're so happy. It's a family and, uh, Yeah.

Uh, I'm glad it, it, it [00:34:00] exceeded our own expectations, so, and I think I saw a couple tweets. Not from cult members or the Magic Machine team that stated that we won the night. So, not that I'm competitive, but we won.

Dotta: It was just so delightful. I just felt so grateful and so thankful that people made trips from Florida, California, the Midwest, all over the country, just to come out.

And then, and then not only did they come, everyone was just so delightful. And it's, it, it, I just love what we've built and that's been such a joy. So thank you for coming out.

Elf: Yep. Thanks for coming out and, uh, be sure to come to Whiz Fest 2023, right Bear. Yeah, sure.

Bearsnake: We're actually doing that, so, uh, yeah, don't

Tadmajor: make it too promise.

Yeah, I mean, we're

Elf: trying to do it. We're trying to, kidding. I mean, all right. Um. Channeling out from New York City and the Quantum Downs. This has been El and Doda. [00:35:00] And

Tadmajor: give a Hoo Pro and Tad Slurp, Lochness, JIT, maple, dad,
