It highlights the strong brotherhood between Cheese, his mentor Jason, and his cousin Raf, who is also his creative partner.

The passage concludes by teasing the arrival of a new character, "Wolf," setting the stage for the next episode.

This Episode introduces Whipper, a central figure at "The Dojo," known by the significant phrase "Whip. Whipperloy. Magic Boy." He is depicted as a calm, shrewd operator who handles the ("grown-up man stuff") alongside Bacon's complex logistics. Speak the words and do not fear as he shall be summoned, contrasting with the more outwardly boisterous members of the group. A key anecdote, the "Double Deal," highlights his risk-taking nature and surprising ability to salvage something from even disastrous situations. Ultimately, the episode portrays Whipper as a vital, almost legendary, behind-the-scenes force who makes things happen seamlessly at The Dojo.

This episode is introducing a key figure named Bacon, renowned for his exceptional logistics skills. Starting in the challenging environment of the London Underground, Bacon developed an innate ability to navigate complex networks and move people and supplies efficiently. These skills are now applied to managing operations and ensuring the flow of drinks and entertainment for parties in Thailand, where he is known as both the "logistics king" and the "belly of the party beast," even maintaining a tradition of collecting contributions called a "wheep." The excerpt concludes by hinting at the introduction of another figure, Whipper, who operates behind the scenes to keep things stocked.
