This episode of SHU is brought to you by Dire Weasels. Yeah, I've heard of that show. Do you like Dungeons & Dragons? Oh, yeah, I like it.

I like it. I like it. What do you think about Dungeons & Dragons? Are you supposed to play Dungeons & Dragons?

That's kind of cool. You might like the show. Cody, what are you telling us about the show? Let's not...

I have nothing to do with the show. No, Dire Weasels is not an actual play podcast. Oh, so never mind. It's a tangent show.

I was thinking about Dungeons & Dragons for getting all about a Greg. So they don't play Dungeons & Dragons? I'm sorry, Greg. They try to play Dungeons & Dragons, but they get distracted a lot.

Oh. Do they even bring the dice? I can't understand. Dungeons & Dragons then.

We just call it sitting around goofing around. That's a good place to play. That's a great fucking name for a podcast. I know, right?

Can you come into SHU or the S.L. Studio soon? Sitting around goofing around goofing around. Sitting around goofing around goofing around.

So this episode is brought to you by Dire Weasels and The New Show. Sitting around goofing around goofing around. Look for it soon on Podcatcher Near You. LAUGHTER Hello and welcome to another episode of The Villain Underground.

This is episode 54. Oh, goodness. That is a high number. I am your Game Master Happy Puke.

And with me today, I have three lovely villains. One of our other lovely villains could make it. And it makes us sad. But today we have Morning Alley playing the gun shy.

Hung food. Nope. That's not it. Dead eye.

You, Twitter character better. Sarcastic sharpshooter? Not gun shy at all. Oh, yeah, true.

That's what I said. We have Cody, wearing black. Playing Miss Deeds, the angel from Valhalla. You explain your character better.

Oh man, you are just, no. This is a devil from the time. Gotcha. And we've also got Sad, Phil playing goofy con artist.

You explain your character better. I play Silicon artist, a con artist that can shape, shift, and morph himself. You know how real comic book characters have a saying, right? That means the dark knight.

And you kind of get that. And then Superman's the man of steel. I think everyone should force everyone to come up with a phrase for their character. So I can use that.

So everybody gets to just adjust what your character is. You know what I mean? Oh, sure. I got something that technically what our high concept is supposed to be.

Yeah, I guess so. That's true. That's a good point. Well, because I know that Cody, I know that you've been good about it because Knox was what the boy warlord, that made sense, right?

Yeah. And then Miss Deeds is what? Demon out of time? No, her high concept is contract double with a combined lineage of the bear trust family.

That does not roll off the tongue. It does not know. The more I play this game, the less I feel like I know it. That's what I'm here for.

We are a real play faith based podcast, I guess, in the Conoco Universe with everything else here on this feed. We are a game. This is a game focused on some bad boys in the town of Lipa Sarber. Would someone like to give us a rundown of what happened last time with you?

No good. No good doers. Cody was the last one of the finger on his nose. So Cody give us a rundown of what happened last time.

Fuck. I don't remember. I'm going to go to the show. Oh, crap.

Sharp shooter, serious Sam, sister. We went to an oil rig. And then the sister was like, hey, give her over to us. And then we were like, no.

And she's like, well, I fucking planned this all out. And you all are fucked. Unless you come with me. And then she did.

And then they went to submarine, he also marine. And Momo number five played. And then we had Robo turn into a submarine. Go down in yel's submarine.

We played the Beatles. And then we did a fight. And it was a bad fight because I was underwater. And then something about a chemical compound that exploded in the water.

And but we got away. And it was really dark. And someone freaked out. Then Robo had to be in work in 20 minutes.

That's absolutely right. That was pretty succinct. So we're going to pick up on the beach and Robo's like, guys, I've got to go to work. And then he goes to work.

No, have will do it. Have will say it. OK. I mean, we could just.

I'll cut it from last week in here. Robo says I've got to go to work. And then he goes to work. I'm not going to do that.

I'm just going to say I'm doing this. Thank you. You have made me happy. I'm going to say your voices whenever people are like, often are terrible.

My voice? What do you mean? Don't worry about it. All right.

Well, just install me in that. All right. So you guys are on the beach. What are you up to?

What are you doing? You're either on now. We do a beach episode. Yeah.

Are you really going to do a beach episode? Yep. Bikinis. Silicon artist finds a nice shell and makes that his new home.

Like I said, we're going to be like, are you a hermit crab now? Yeah, I'm a hermit crab. Are you guys actually hanging out on the beach for a little bit? Well, our ride's gone.

And did I still in the middle of a very prolonged panic attack? Did we actually have a vehicle though? That wasn't going to go over? Because yeah, well, no, I think it overcame.

I think we threw because we also threw your sister flipping the back. That's true. And you just tried the road on Robles that I have to go to work. So you dropped Roble off at work, which happens to be on the bottom floor of your house.

How long were we in the car? Too long. You watched up on the beach. And I don't know.

It was about 20 minute ride, I guess. Just hurry things along. So Robles just barely got into work on time. Yeah, he just barely got to work on time.

I'd like to see Paul's there. Yes. Paul is there. He averts his eyes from you and tries to hide.

OK, I breathe on the glass. And I want to write backwards. I'm watching you. He looks really nervous and goes, then runs into the back.

Shall we retire upstairs, I suppose? Did I is going to shakily get out of the Uber and go to the trunk and haul for without and be like, I will be back. I need to take care of something. Did I hear you're going to drag?

I'm not going to kill her. What are you going to do with her? That's for me to know and you don't find out. Did I?

What? We're a team. We're a team. It's a dark hole.

She'll be fine, mostly. OK, whatever. I'm going upstairs. I'm also disguised at this point, by the way.

Honey, I'll be right up. Can you just give me a five minute? Yeah, whatever. OK, geez.

All right. Just trying to be respectful and communicate to you. All right, so you're staying down while Miss Deeds goes upstairs. What are you going?

To a secret place where I have totally dug a very deep dark hole. All right, so you're heading off to your secret place. So, what are you doing? I'm going to go see Massacre.

OK, all right. You're going there. You get there first. OK, I opened the door.

What do I see? He's still there. Is the burger still there? Yeah, because he couldn't reach it.

Yeah, yeah, but it's all kind of gross now. I'm going to kick it towards him. OK, he has eaten the dog food that you had left. Fantastic.

OK, hey, Massacre, how's it going? He doesn't respond. He just kind of looked at you vaguely. You know, this makes it really hard when you don't respond to me.

I just want to have a conversation with you, but you're always so like foggy, and groggy, even though I give you plenty of food and water. And yet, you'd never just are nice to me. You know, that's what really sucks about this whole thing. You've never been nice.

That really makes me mad. I got you this burger. OK, he's still just looking at you. I slap him really hard.

All right, you slap him. Massacre. I just want you to say hello to your best friend. Me.

He did not respond. I slap him really hard. OK, he does not give into slaps. How many times you slap him?

That's awesome. OK, Massacre, am I going to have to get the toolbox? He did not respond. I go get my toolbox and I pull out some pliers.

I would like to see which fingernails have grown back. You're going to start just volunteering. Oh, yep. How long are you going to spend torturing this man with tools?

Tilly says hello to me. All right, you hold out for a long time. He is well military trained, so he does hold out on torture for quite some time. Give him purple miracles with the pliers.

Oh, god. All right, so you've tortured him for a good long while before he actually says hello. So you have that going on. Did I?

You reach your secret place. Well, just describe this secret place to me. So it is, let's go with an abandoned warehouse. And in the dead center of the warehouse is just a pit.

It's like three feet in, and I look at four feet in diameter. And it's like 40 feet deep. So you can't really climb out that fucker. And it's got a great on top of it.

So you can get air, but it's also covered. So there's no light coming in. So, dead, I was just going to shuffle up to the edge of this pit and just casually drop the whip down it. It's a significant fault.

She probably has injured, but I don't care. And then I'm going to throw some granola bars and water bottles in and then close the grate and just pat it a couple times. I'll be back in a week, sweetie. OK.

And then you leave. And then I leave. All right, Miss D, did you get to the penthouse? You were in the penthouse alone.

Oh, great. Is the window so shattered? No, no, I got fixed. All right, cool.

What is the best way for me to contact mercenaries or something? Someone that probably talked to a different villain, you know that knows somebody, that kind of thing? What villain does Miss D actually know? Say somebody and I'll let you know if you know them.

Grave digger, grave robber. Yeah, you know grave robber. OK. Can I call him up, see if he wants to do a merch job?

Yeah, sure. You're going to call him? Yeah. Hello.

Hi. I know we've only been briefly acquainted, but I believe you know the rest of my team. I was wondering if you had a mercenary experience. I was wondering if you could put a, there's some people I need to take care of and something discrete or at least something on the side.

I shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. You know, do you have firearms? What's that? You have firearms?

No, no, no, no, that's not the other thing. OK. You need someone killed, is what you're saying? Yeah, a group of people actually.

Wow, OK. That's not my super forte, but I could get you a number, I suppose. That would be great. That would be great.

I'm more, you know, around graves. Right, right. Maybe you could know. They're famous people.

Let me know what it's done. I can rob their grave. Oh, we need to talk some time about to in common. OK.

We might have an interesting conversation with that. Anyway, I just need a few people killed. I was wondering if you could hit me up with someone's number. You know what?

I will. I could. I used to know a guy named Mascar, but he has not been seen for a while. He used to be real good.

Oh. You could always go to Villain Island, meet someone there. Oh, that seems like a lot of trouble for Villain Island, though. Offhand, offhand, I can give you one number of a girl who does a pretty decent job.

No, I'll try them. If not, I can go searching for Mascar. If all else fails, this Villain Island sounds wonderful. All right.

So he's like, I'll text you the number. All right. And he texts you the number. Yeah, yeah, I text the number.

All right. Well, he texts you the number. You can text them or call them. I'll text them.

I don't know them. So I just want to know. OK. What are you going to text?

I'm going to text them. I need a job done, a group of people. I need them and all the information that they have destroyed. OK.

They say, where can we meet? I'm going to give them. Can I like do I have to wear house? OK.

I'm just going to play a fake point. I'll have a warehouse. I want to wear a house just like an empty warehouse that's owned by the corporation by Baratros Alpha Choice. Can I ask you one quick question?

Where are you holding Bethany, by the way? Where did you put her? I put her in another one of the Alpha Choice warehouses. OK.

Warehouse business. Is it a compound or is it a warehouse? What is it? This is like three warehouses that you guys own so far.

I love warehouses. We're a harbor. Like there's got to be warehouses on the harbor. Like the store shipping district.

OK. All right. So is it just another warehouse then? Yeah.

OK. Something empty. Something I want to do with later. OK.

So this person's like, when can you meet? Probably tonight. ASAP is who's possible tonight? Like, I think I can make it.

OK. Sounds good. Also, Miss D's. You have not been to City Council in a while.

Oh, no. I immediately text. I immediately text my. My what do they call it?

They're not servants. Intern. Sisters? I'm just kidding.

Intern. I text the intern and I tell her to get an egg timer. Make sure to have it ready. OK.

Is there like a meeting tonight? Yes. OK, cool. On some issues that you actually have a personal interest in.

Oh, great. Fuck. All right. That sounds good.

Yeah. I'm going to go look up some things about more about Persian mythology. Oh, OK. Yeah.

Iranian mythology. Or Iranian mythology. And then probably sked out along off to the meeting or whatever. I'll try to find that.

So that way she's my personal bodyguard. OK. If you were heading back to the house, you'd do meet up with Miss D's. OK.

Also, eventually, Silicon artist, you'd do get to the hello and then you're able to meet up with the rest of you like. I ordered a pizza. OK. And I gave it to Massacre.

OK. Not here in the snake thing. Yeah, sort of. I mean, you know, if her label's on it.

Well, I'm just are you like, are you actually giving it to him? Or putting it out of his reach? No, 100% giving it to him. I even asked him what his favorite toppings are, which are.

Black Olives, peppercinis, those little banana pepper things. And Alipainos. So it's so we're like, OK, OK. Wait, so I wait.

No, you had to torture him to get him to say hello, but now you get his favorite toppings. Once he breaks. Once you break. Yeah.

OK. He's not broken. It's just I like having friends. And I like my friend's pizza.

I'm having a metaphorical pizza party and a literal pizza party. He doesn't have pizza. Pizza is pizza. I'll figure it out.

The logic. I order a fork and a knife for him, too. And I give it to him. And he has it.

Does he like it? Yeah, he'll eat it. Yeah. Fantastic.

I'm going back upstairs. All right. So everybody meets up as Miss Deez has headed back out. You know, honey, I was just thinking we could have maybe like a night in to like a movie night.

We could do some popcorn, too. I did a thing where we put the raisinets in the popcorn and they get a little melty, but it's chocolate. I like that. Yeah, that would be great.

But I have some other business to attend to tonight. I'm. Oh, yes. Is it a council meeting?

Well, there's a council meeting, yes. But I have something else I need to do. Yeah, if I have to go to that council meeting after the day I've had, I will kill someone. So fine.

I'll just go by myself. Well, I can go. I can be your bodyguard. I mean, pretty handy.

Right. I don't maybe not the best idea, sweetie. It's going to pat him on cheek. Yeah.

What? So you said raisinets in the popcorn? Yeah. Did I guess we can watch a movie?

Yeah, there we go. You two can just not boss baby, please. It's a robo's movie. We can watch nothing more adults die hard.

Yes, we'll watch die hard. It's a Christmas season is over, but we'll watch it. Yeah, let's say it's in Christmas time. It's always die hard season.

All right. So you guys have done to watch die hard. You put the raisinets into the popcorn and while the popcorn is still hot, so it gets a little bit melty. Yes.

It is a tasty treat. Mestis. You're going to the council meeting? Yeah.

This council meeting is about personal protection regulation. Ooh. They basically the vote is whether to lift personal protection regulation because of a proposed sale of personal protection armor. I'm obviously all for this.

Yes. So basically up to this point, there's like a city ban on owning a power armor unless you have a permit. So basically it's either lift that. It's basically a vote to lift that ban.

And as mayor, you could just be first. Right. I believe lifting this basically ban on the power on or the suits. So to speak.

And so to make that help our citizens protect themselves from whatever may happen, you can obviously hear there's things on the news about people in Ruby Ridge. Is it Ruby Ridge? Ruby River? Ruby River.

I believe it's Ruby River where one of the students attacked some just some normal students or normal citizens in the street. We don't want this to happen to everyone. We want to make sure that everyone was in a level playing field. That way our citizens can protect themselves and the ones that they love.

I mean, I have some people doing personal protection for myself, but I don't want to obviously be in a suit other than the nicest suit I have on now. But you get my meeting for Frosty Cops, because up in Cops, people with many capabilities already make the job the police are doing difficult. I think this is just going to quicken a arms race that will make it even more difficult for policemen to do their work. Is this a public meeting?

Yeah. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of people there, but like the only people that really get to vote are you and the four council members. I can turn to Frosty Cops. Isn't it?

I'm sorry, but you weren't a meta before though. You simply are still not a meta. That's what I'm trying to allude to. You aren't a meta, but you did have you had to know how and which to build these things.

We were simply giving the knowing out to the people. I was gifted this Frosty gun. I didn't build it myself. And the point of that is that I'm a police officer with weaponry in which to protect myself and I'm a trained individual.

If we were to give Frosty guns to every citizen, I think the streets would be far more dangerous. And then I would have to get something even bigger and more dangerous than a Frosty gun. And then we would be lifting a ban on those for the citizens. And then I would have to get something even bigger than that.

It's just escalation. Why do you need to get something bigger than what the citizens have? Can they not protect themselves? Can they not protect each other?

And crime happens. Well, it seems like the police, you just said it yourselves. The meta's can deal with the meta issues and the police. Why are the police dealing with these issues like this?

What, dealing with crime? It's what we're hired to do. The meta's also deal with crime as well. But we can't always just why do you need to have a bigger and better?

Why do you have to have something bigger and better? Why can't everyone be on the same playing ground? Because you have training, you have to dedicate your lives to the training of protecting the people. Is that training not enough?

That's why we don't hand out hand-out hand-grind aids. That's why we're not handing everyone a nuclear weapon. We have to draw the line somewhere. Right.

That's a government weapon. You have to understand that is a government issue. And in the hands of a single person, are these suits? Can be in the hands of single people.

Greg, what do you think about this? Well, I have a problem with lifting this ban overall because the lifting of the ban, it just completely lifts every restriction. There's going to be no oversight on who builds what. There's going to be no oversight on what materials are used, what charging stations are used.

If you just delete this entire ban wholesale, you're going to have all kinds of junk out there with no way to regulate who's building what. Let's suppose you got like your frosty gun there, right? Now you bring in some some some Jerry Rig throwing together charging station, right? There's no there's no voltage regulators in it or there might be.

Who knows, right? Because there's no oversight. Nobody checks. Nobody checks that stuff.

So now not only can have everybody and everybody having whatever kind of personal protection equipment they think they want. It's it's it's going to be a hazard to the people carrying it if they don't even know what's in their can blow up in their hands. Stuff could fall off of it. Things could catch fire.

You can't just you can't just lift this ban wholesale and expect everything to be fine out there. So I got to say right now the way the wording reads in this this proposal, I'm against it is it's going to cause more harm than good. Whether or not, you know, so they get a good idea for people to have their own stuff. I hear what you're saying, right?

You're going to put them in harm's way. They can you're helping them, right? What kind of sense is that? I completely I completely agree with you that but not a but I completely agree with you, right?

You're right. We're putting them in harm's way if they did Jerry rig something up. So let's switch it to the other side. Let's put the regulations on the corporations themselves.

Let's not regulate the citizens. Let's regulate the construction and thereof of these things of these suits, these charging stations or whatever. Let's give a universal basis for the good. That's not going to stop Joe Joe regular guy down the street from just thinking he can run down to the to the hardware store grab a couple battery packs, school of wire, whatever he thinks he needs.

Now, suddenly he thinks he has the freedom to go ahead and have this thing, which is fine. It's just right to think that he can put together whatever thing he wants. He's busting up old VCRs for transistors and stuff. It's the companies that make this up.

What prevents people from doing this already? Someone could go down to the hardware store. There's a band. There's a band on the selling regulations of corporations to do this.

I've seen it before. Villains and even heroes go and create things wholesale from the bottom up themselves. They go to the hardware store. We have some brilliant inventors out there.

Why not let them invent? Why not let them pursue maybe a small business of their own? They could even make these goods themselves. Instead of being a villain and using these gadgets to break down banks and why not?

Why not build up the community with a small business and help everyone else around you protect someone? You know, a lot of what you're saying makes sense. And I wouldn't even disagree with some of it except the way this particular proposal is worded. It entirely lifts any oversight, any restriction, any regulation whatsoever.

So without some sort of some sort of, you know, checks and balances in place to make sure people aren't put themselves in harm's way. I'm still against it. You know, if this thing gets reworded and things make more sense and I'm more confident that people aren't put in harm's way and our police force input in harm's way that I might reconsider but the way it reads right now, I'm a tough sell. I'm gonna tell you.

Duncan Duncan or Dallas Duncan, he and her Jackson says, I was on your side, Miss Mayer, until you start talking about regulations on businesses and that Amy. This sort of looks down at Duncan. She's like, I understand. There's so much that the corporations have to maneuver around.

But we can figure out something Greg. Maybe we need to put this off at least for maybe, I would say another week or so. Maybe even less. But why don't we end you get sit down and work together on this?

Well, I mean, I'm all for, you know, I'm all for more discussion on it. But again, like until, uh, don't trust me. Don't trust me. Until the actual proposals re-written.

We will view this thing to the depths of hell I swear. So we're putting a moratorium on passing this now and going through later day until we can have a rewrite. I believe we will have something by next week. Greg, you're an efficient man.

We can have this done by next week, can't we? I don't see why not, but, you know, well, then I think that's that should be good. I think we should be able to do that by next week. Here's my mind.

If the votes tonight, my votes null. If it's moratorium, then we wait, then I wait and see what the new wording says. So I can tell you, I agree with the moratorium. We're going going back to the drawing board for rewrites.

Yes. All right. So they suspended the vote on this bill. They've been working on it.

Oh, hey, by the way, Duncan, I owe you an apology, buddy. I was over at the, uh, uh, pavement company. They were prototyping a new pothole feller, right? It's an epoxy set up, right?

So it makes all the epoxy up important hole and hardened, but it was brittle. Right. So then they figure we need, we need some kind of filler. Wasn't it a sand?

It was sand, buddy. Yeah, told you man. It was sand. It was sand.

It was a little bit of fluid. So I'm going to go back to the next art and write up. Well, proof. Great.

Now the time for it. I mean, you can handle personal, uh, personal dilemma. Yeah. This is, this is policy.

Sand would have been way cheaper for what started with that. The first place. You got to put a 50% epochs in there. How long?

This is something that the public did 50% sand is good enough. A hundred percent sand is well. That's not, that's not get crazy, Duncan. I was just, you know, just like, you know, sand apparently more viable than I initially thought.

As long. I reached back to my intern. I asked for the head timer that I asked for earlier. I actually had to do the thing.

I slim it down on the desk and I turn it into two minutes. I'm wasting the public's time in this discussion. I just wanted to apologize to the guy. We can move on.

That's fine. Okay. I'm going to turn it back and it's going to ding and then I'm going to put it away. So Duncan's like, I have one proposal.

I propose that we take out all the stop signs of the city. I think they're unfairly regulating the motors to the town. Can I slap Duncan? You can't be serious.

Well, I just think, you know, I think people should be responsible for their own actions, whether they stop or slow down. I think we got the wheat from the chaff. You know what I mean? What?

I, uh, I know exactly. Exactly. Sav it. Are you just calling his proposal ridiculous at the moment and denying it on its face?

Yes. I'm not even saying, Miss D's not going to say anything. I'm saying a bunch. Fuck you.

Okay. All right. Look, I don't know. I'm not saying anything else.

I'm like, I'll take some of my game. You chose to be mayor. You're like, hey, I want to be mayor. Okay.

Then do mayor stuff. So is everything else that he would bring up at the, uh, the, the council meeting? Well, I got, I got one more thing. Okay.

We're trying to get a permit approved for over a roof of the hospital. Right. Yeah. What happened was you got the helicopter pilots.

They set up a break station up there, but wasn't approved. Right. But they got, they got two vending machines up there. Right.

On a roof. Right. On the roof. Right.

Right. And a picnic table. That's what we got there. But they, they don't want to use the break room to floors down because they say that it takes to line, get down here.

Have their lunch. Go back up, whatever. Okay. So we're going to use the break room to floors down.

They're going to grieve for the union. Right. So they want us to set up the break station up there, but we can't because they're railing going around the helipad is only 37 inches. One of them guys, they set one of their pudding cups right under rail and he turns, he knocks it down, putting cup falls, seven stories, boom.

It's a card on below. Right. Dense to hood. Now the pudding stuck to it.

So now the hospital's got to pay to head this guy's car clean. That's one thing. But imagine if like somebody was down there and hit him in the head, putting cup, right? You can't have that.

So they want the break station up there. City planning and the permit office says, well, you can't have the break station up there once you got a 60 inch wall. So we got to get approval. They either raised a wall existing wall from 36 to 60 or they're down 36 inch wall, put up a 60 inch wall.

And then they can't have that picnic table up there because it's not anchored down. Okay. So they got to get that picnic table anchored down because you figured they got the helicopter blades weapon, right? It's one of them cheap plastic things.

It's just going to fly off the roof. If you have to fall down, you'll have the pudding cup incident all over again. But this time would have picnic table. Okay.

On the hospital roof, 36 inch versus 60 inch wall picnic table debate comes down to a 50 50 split, not including your vote. It's frosty, frosty, cop and Greg versus Sue and Duncan. Duncan, he says that they should just remove the wall completely and what happens, what happens, which is completely negligent. Okay.

Well, Duncan, wait, Duncan, for you, where you go? Oh, half cock hospital is going to pay for half the wall, right? Okay. And then the other half, I think the union will front some, right?

So then you're only like, I think 25%. So then you're only looking at the free market decide the free market decide. So all right. Explain to me why they can't.

So can't they go one floor down? I was trying to go through the thing break time standard break time for a helicopter pilot is 20 minutes, right? Right. They claim it's a five minute walk down and then a five minute walk back up.

So there are only 10 minutes. Right. So now it's cutting into their break time. Why not just build it on the next floor?

I mean, it's not five minutes to walk down a store a floor. Right. But I, hey, I'm with you on that. I could do it in two minutes.

But that's what they claim. And again, if you know, the union guys are, if things don't go how they go, they grieve and now you're tied up in a grieving process. And I'm sorry, Greg, but I can't support your proposal. Especially since we basically putting on the only say of these, these workers here.

We haven't had as anyone gone out there to check the times on who's doing that. I mean, maybe we, maybe these are, they're just taking this week time on the way down. Maybe they're talking with people on the way down. Let's see.

Let's see what's going on. But right now I can't. I can't see. We can just hire pilots that are willing to deal with the breaks that we give them.

Well, that's, that's fine. If you want to do that, but what you should know is whether you think they should or shouldn't be doing it. They are doing the picnic tables already up there. The wall is only 36 inches and they got the vending machines with the pudding cups.

So whether they think they can or can't walk up your own risk, or your own risk. This is a smart thing. I'm in suits with the car so they don't get things dropped on them. I say we put up a sign on the bottom that says watch out for falling pudding.

But only give you one more vote. No, no, no, no. Okay. So you're scoring points with a Delos Duncan, then you can either score points with Greg, who will obviously bring this up in the next meeting where he covers a different solution over.
