DISCLAIMER: "Hill willing to kill on" is an idiom. I do not condone or tolerate open calls for violence and want to make this very clear here. Due to the incredibly unfortunate nature of the topic at hand, I have also taken the liberty to mark this episode as explicit.

This episode was recorded while I had some short downtime. There are filler phrases and pauses throughout. I apologize in advance.

Hopper did time traveling!

OMFG! Hopper went time traveling to steal my idea and actually say the opposite that he suggested when interviewing me on this topic. I'm confident that he vibe coded a time traveling machine after interviewing me... JUST TO STEAL MY THUNDER!!

Go have a look at episode HPR4616 where we sing the love song on the merits of Age Verification and how further extending it will make the world a better place! But here he's all against it?

OMFG again!

To avoid misunderstandings: OMFG means "Offering My Finest Greetings!"
