Noticed for the first time on this Bahumia listen that Jake is the first boob who makes an effort to remember and include Balnor. Murph spends a few episodes reminding the boobs they have a new party member, then Hardwon starts engaging him in-character unprompted and things really start moving. He helps lay the foundation of Balnor's character quirks more than Beverly; hell, Jake gives him the moniker 'Balnor the Brave'! Idk I know watching Jake fall in love with d&d real time is an appeal for naddpod s1 in general, but this felt like catching a glimpse of his own out of character kindness in action
