First? Uh, yeah, time to watch a new video I guess.

I met Tupper back in 2020 at Just Party club event, so I can confirm they at least back then were in the scene :D Great talk guys! I enjoyed it

thanks for having me on the podcast, it was awesome to sit down with you and chat <3

Awesome to see Jonny here :D

I have a lot of fun !! thank you again!!

So excited for persistence!

Awesome interview. Super interesting. Hey who woulda thought Tupper is just a normal person xD

i never knew how huge red really was in the dj scene tbh, i knew they have their own fallback in the defaults, so i knew they had some type of influence

AHHHHHHH, ROBO STUFF!!!! (^<^) I loved your booth as it kidnapped me and my friends and forced them to go on an unexpected adventure, but it was a needed one. Can't wait to more from you in the future!!!

you should do an interview with the owner of ArgusVRC

She hates me now We haven't talked for about four months now

Wheeee, that was the breakc0RE@200bpm+ interview-equivalent: fun, informative, great flow & without bullshit-filter! Also... everytime I see a Runa-avi now I'll think "TuppeNAAAH!" lmao - yesterday for the 1st time (bought her myself even months ago)

tupper is goated fr

Hell yeah epic Tupper yap sesh >:3 WOOOOOOO wahoo very good interview!!

I feel like I would be fine with Tupper if he could ever apologize to me. =/ Unlike other people in VRC that I can simply leave and forget about, Tupper pops up everywhere and im constantly reminded of what he did. It really is something I wish I could let go of because it eats away at me all the time. I will always appreciate the things he has done for the community and wish him the best, but I do hope I can speak to him one on one some day and work things out. Im sure he is a good dude as I hear nothing but good things about him and maybe its something i simply need to get over. But IDK.

Tupper look cool. Would love to meet him one day!

Just saw some friend get their who account screwed over while some Pedros of vrchat are still romaing free man. Like I get that you wnt to protect the community, but when you remove parts of your community trying to protect it while those types are out there still jerking it and touching minors and all the stuff they get away with. You'll begin to wonder why us as a community are losing faith in this.

Nice video! Very interesting to learn more about Tupper, super chill guy, could relate to a lot of his answers :D Keep up the good work! :)
