Episode Transcript
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Go.
[00:00:09] Speaker B: Okay, I'm going.
[00:00:12] Speaker A: We're sorry. We thought we were gonna record a podcast, like Friday or Saturday.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Yeah, things happen.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: Life happens. Now we're a week behind.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Sorry.
[00:00:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it happens like.
Well, it's mostly Greg's fault.
[00:00:28] Speaker B: It is all my fault. Always my fault. I'm so sorry, everyone.
My fault.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: But now we're back and we're gonna be a week behind. Even though I made a beautiful schedule.
But the person at 6th and Jackson that slammed into my car on Friday didn't want to follow our podcasting schedule.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: Didn't want to follow it. They. They. They wanted to hold up the whole entire works.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: Yeah, they thought making illegal left turn into my car was a great idea. So we are here at our normal podcast recording time, which no one knows because we don't release our podcast on normal podcast recording time.
It's a secret that only Travis Webb knows because he knows exactly when to call Greg. Every time we're recording a podcast, you.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: Said his name, and now it's going to happen.
[00:01:20] Speaker A: The phone.
And he appears.
I believe in Travis Webb. Joe Hendry's gonna sue us.
Look what I got in the mail.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Hey, you did. You got that in the mail.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: If you are not on the video feed, which is now up on YouTube, you would be seeing Starlight the comic book. And I'm gonna illustrate that there are no page numbers in this comic book, so I refuse to read it.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: Okay, don't read it.
[00:01:49] Speaker A: I already read it.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: You read it.
[00:01:53] Speaker A: But I'm not gonna read here. I won't read one of the alternative covers. I got.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Oh, yes. You got all the covers.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I mean, I had to get all the covers. They're cool.
I feel like this one is freaky.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: That one is. Yes.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: But I have all the covers.
But you don't have all the covers. I have more of the covers than you do at your house.
[00:02:18] Speaker B: You. You do? You honestly do? I. I am out of many books, so.
But thankfully, we'll be kickstarting a full on graphic novel.
[00:02:30] Speaker A: You're doing what?
[00:02:31] Speaker B: We're going to kickstart a graphic novel.
[00:02:33] Speaker A: On When Starlight in June.
On June 6th.
[00:02:38] Speaker B: June. Yeah, June. Is it June 6th? Yeah, I believe it's June 6th. That's what Travis is proposing.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: How do I know more things than you do?
[00:02:46] Speaker B: Well, so sometimes, if you've been following along with the Starlight, sometimes Travis says a date, and then sometimes Travis does it early accidentally.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: Well, in this case, it says June 6th right now. And you can follow the Kickstarter at Launch and get the graphic novel. So you, you didn't have to wait for all these individual books to come out. Now you can just.
It's like when you wait till the whole Netflix series is released.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:14] Speaker A: And you want to binge it, then you can just get the whole thing. But there's also going to be extra super special pages and art and stuff.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: There are. Yeah. It's a limited edition graphic novel as well. So once we do this one, depending on where it lands later, this is going to be this version and there might be another version later, but this is a limited version with those extra. Extra tidbits.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: Limited version. Wait, so it's kind of like.
So this happens. We might do something live on the podcast right now because you're getting a limited edition. Yeah. Okay, so is it like. Okay, hang on. So I've got.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: Okay, so you keep talking about your limited edition.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: Okay, yeah. So. So as we, as Travis, Brett and I have been talking about putting this together.
They've put some art pages and other things like that, and we're putting other, other pieces of information into the book so that when you get it, this version of the book itself is a limited version.
It's not going to be something that's going to be re. Released later, just this run. So if you back it and you're fortunate enough to get a copy, then, then that's what you. You'll be one of those fortunate, lucky ones.
Stargazers.
But later, in later renditions of the book, it will not.
Probably actually it won't. I know Travis and I have talked about that. It won't have that. That information or that those pages and other things like that in it. So.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Okay, so. So it's like. But you're doing it the right way because like, I got this original Final Crisis Legion of Three Worlds, but then later they made a new one and instead of calling it Final Crisis, Legion of Three Worlds, they called it Superman Final Crisis because, you know, everything's about Superman right now. Yeah, yeah, but this one has this crappy DC logo and this one is back to the cool DC logo, as you can see.
[00:05:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:18] Speaker A: But this one is bigger and has more stuff in it. So they made me buy the newer one with more stuff. You're not going to do that in your Kickstarter. You're going to get the nice one with all this new stuff first.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: And then the future release doesn't get all that because they weren't the dedicated, wonderful fans that went to the Kickstarter. And supported you.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: Correct. So when we do.
[00:05:44] Speaker A: See, so like you're being nice. They made me buy more.
But you're not doing that.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: No, no. When we do future runs, if we, if we do future print runs for conventions and other things like that, it won't have that, that the art pages and back matter put into it. It'll be pulled out and, and it'll just be a, a standard graphic novel of the book. Or if we, we find a home for it, then they will print it the way that they see fit. But it will probably not have the same flair that Brett's put into it.
[00:06:18] Speaker A: Well, see, that's very important, so you should do that. By the way, also, we have other announcements besides Starlight. Travis has also got another Kickstarter up.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So following right after Starlight.
Nemesis.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: Nemesis. Not Cyborg, because that would.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: Not Cyborg. It's a different. That's a.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: That's, that would be bad.
[00:06:38] Speaker B: That's. That's a different thing.
Nemesis Cyborgs. Yes. So if you're, if you're a fan of 90s film, specifically Albert Pen.
Nemesis was a, was a.
Actually well received and cult classic, uh, Cyborg.
We'll just put it that way. It was, it was a, like Cyborgman.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Like it was a Harley Quinn.
[00:07:10] Speaker B: No, kind of, but not really. It was a film like Cyborg from.
[00:07:15] Speaker A: The Teen Titans.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: Kind of, but not really. It was like the Borg.
Like the Borg. No, not like the Borg. So cybernetically enhanced people and.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: And so it's like synthetic people.
Yeah, kind of.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: Yes, kind of.
[00:07:37] Speaker A: And species X. 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 8, 12, 14, 26, 5. From Voyager.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: For those of you that don't know the joke, I do it that way because it really annoys Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul, when I don't say it correctly.
Greg even laughed. Greg had to pause and laugh at that because he could see the interaction.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: And I, I can, I can, I can visualize Paul just getting frustrated, but it's, it's a direct sequel to the movie. So where the original movie leaves off, this comic picks up.
Travis wrote it, Brett drew it. It's a fantastic, fantastic piece. I was really glad to be able to read it and, and help usher it along.
[00:08:27] Speaker A: Wait, you got to read it?
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Well, yeah, it's kind of what the team does, you know, working on it. I. Although I didn't have a hand in writing.
Well, you didn't. Dan. I'm sorry.
[00:08:37] Speaker A: But I got to read the script of Starlight Number seven.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: You did yes, you did. Yes, you did. But this was. This has been a secret project for like two years as. As Travis has been working with the. The PN estate and, and working with them on this.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: Is it like a double secret project? Like double secret probation?
[00:08:59] Speaker B: Well, well, you were, you were, you were there for some of the conversation with Brett while we're in Omaha.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: I talked to Travis about it. I knew about this project.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: But you. But yeah, but you.
[00:09:12] Speaker A: I was aware of.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: Specific secret project.
[00:09:15] Speaker B: Didn't just. You didn't get a chance to read the.
[00:09:17] Speaker A: I didn't get to read the story. I knew the secret project was happening.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: I gotta. I got a good chance.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Was that Travis's house when he had all the notes spread out everywhere?
[00:09:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
Look like one of the times.
[00:09:28] Speaker A: I think this is. He's had this done multiple times, but yeah.
[00:09:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he's. He's like, he's been working feverishly on this trying to get the. Trying to get Albert's voice right. And that's something that, that the state really want to make sure was done and done correctly is just making sure the book carried the same kind of sentiment and feel that you would get in an Albert movie in something that Albert would do. So I feel like it's a very.
It's a very well put together product, very well put together piece, and it's a great homage.
[00:10:05] Speaker A: Well, the really important thing I want to get out of all this conversation that I want the listeners to walk away with this.
Does Joe Hendry have cameos? And if he does, how much would it cost for him to create a song for Travis like he does for himself or the other wrestlers?
[00:10:24] Speaker B: It does not.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: You don't even know who Joe Hendry is, do you?
[00:10:29] Speaker B: I do not.
[00:10:31] Speaker A: Say his name and he appears.
How do you not know Joe Hendry? Do you know that Joe Hendry got his theme song to trend on, like, Apple music, like up into the top 10?
This is one of the most brilliant marketing moves in all of the history of wrestling. Like, it was beautifully done.
He got himself in shape and then he made himself a song. And if you've never seen Joe Henry Hendry, I've got to show you this later. He makes songs for his opponents.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: Oh, that's good.
[00:11:04] Speaker A: Yes, Is fantastic.
Like, I cannot believe we've had not run into this. I like sat and watched like Joe Hendry YouTube entrances, like making fun of the other wrestlers for like an hour.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: Oh, geez.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: This makes me. I'm not even that into pro wrestling right now. This guy makes Me like pro wrestling again. Because it's like everything it should be about, like he's creating feuds, he's making fun of the other wrestlers.
He was a bad guy, but they loved him so much. They made him into a good guy because the fans loved his little songs that he was making.
So it went to. First, the songs were like making fun of people in the town and everything, but they loved him doing his songs. So then he just started making songs making fun of the heels, which is fine for a baby face to do.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:11:53] Speaker A: So it was.
It's very good stuff.
So. And by the way, I'm also in a market. We're going to get to this book eventually. By the way, we're talking about Jimmy Olsen. We're getting all the back matter on the front matter today. We've reversed matterized it. So the things we usually talk about at the end, we're talking about the beginning and then the things we talk about at the end, we're going to talk about at the end. But the beginning things will be in the middle.
Yeah, it's like it's gonna be a matterization.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a. It's a.
[00:12:27] Speaker A: Due to the ultra polarization terror.
[00:12:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Because that's just what happens when you're. When you're messing with the forearm terror. You just never know where you're gonna land on.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: What you're trying to do is you're trying to avoid the quad fisting.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: It's. Yeah, because that can get very, very painful and difficult.
And it's. Yeah, it's something that you just. You can't. You, you can't take it alone. You need the Guardian there.
[00:12:55] Speaker A: Yeah, the Guardian is. I, I think the Guardian might be into quad fisting. I don't know.
That's why he has his. That's why he has his shield.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: He has a shield.
It's protection. Always use.
[00:13:10] Speaker A: I mean, it looks like the COVID looks like Superman is into quad fisting.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: I mean, he's got a fist. He's ready to go fist to fist with the forearm Fister.
I. I mean the forearm tear.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: Now, what was the he man character's name?
Just Fister.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: It was Fisto.
As hard as I, I fisted as hard as I could. He man. And I couldn't fist them. All.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: The heroes.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: That's the. That. Yeah, that's the quote from the. The cartoon.
[00:13:43] Speaker A: Wow.
Wow. Just wow.
Just wow.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: Well, as a kid. As a kid, it doesn't.
[00:13:51] Speaker A: It seems so innocent. Well, this is innocent. We weren't talking about anything bad. I mean, if you had four fists, you would use them.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: Exactly. And you. You'd be just like roundhouse fisting everybody.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: I mean, the fact that everybody on the COVID looks terrified.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: I would be terrified before him. Pfister.
[00:14:14] Speaker A: Well, this is Jimmy Olsen, number 137.
Kirby brings them all together on the last day of the world.
Superman's pal, the new Jimmy Olsen.
What made him new, by the way? Is it because he's learned about the super dickory of his friend Superman? Like, knowing about this whole cloning thing and not telling him? And.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Well.
[00:14:41] Speaker A: Is it the chip suits he wears it.
[00:14:44] Speaker B: What you don't realize is it's a new Jimmy Olsen every single day. Because every day Jimmy Olsen dies and a new Jimmy Olsen is born.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: Oh, God. It's like.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: So it's a new, you know.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Oh, God. I just finished up the last season, the last couple seasons of Legends of Tomorrow.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: Huh?
[00:15:02] Speaker A: I've been watching them while I lift because, yeah, they're not worth watching when you're not doing something else.
I'm sorry. Like, it. They got all into clones in the last two seasons. It was great.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: Clones. Can't leave them a clone.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: I just like clones. To me, as a storytelling piece. It's like. I mean, it's the soap opera trope, right? There was always a twin or, you know, like, it's just.
I just. I want more dark side.
[00:15:29] Speaker B: I want more dark side. You want more dark side? Just wait till starlight the next. The next story arc when it's just all about the clones.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: I would hate you so much.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: Just joking.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: You know, we should.
We should write a whole book with clones just to, like, mess up the world.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Clone town. Where it's just nothing but clones of everybody. They're all clones.
Everybody's a clone.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: That'd be kind of boring, except one.
[00:15:57] Speaker B: Of them is a killer.
Well, but who is it?
Oh, now that's the twist.
[00:16:05] Speaker A: Dan the killer clone.
How about killer clones from outer space?
[00:16:11] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
That. That's. That could be something too.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: What if all the clowns were clones?
[00:16:18] Speaker B: All the clowns are clones.
Clones of clowns cloning only one clown.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: That's just repeated.
[00:16:25] Speaker B: Oh, just repeated.
Well, and repeated.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: Speaking of repeating old ideas, the Newsboy Legion and the Guardian are back. Thanks for bringing those back again, Jack. We appreciate that.
Always good to bring from the past characters in.
On the COVID we have Superman, miniature Bob Hope.
Jimmy Olsen, the good looking kid.
Isn't that basically his name? Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: Good looking kid.
[00:17:01] Speaker A: Extra eyes kid Scrapper and Flippa Dippa. How'd I do? I got about half of them.
[00:17:10] Speaker B: You did good. You did good.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: The Newsboy Legion. We have Jimmy Olsen in a green jumpsuit.
And we have Superman ready to attack.
But Superman's face strangely looks different than all the other faces on here.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: It does?
[00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:26] Speaker B: It's odd. Maybe he's a clone.
[00:17:28] Speaker A: It is. It is odd. He could be a clone.
Oh God, he thinks he's a clone now.
[00:17:34] Speaker B: He is.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Run overlay. You know what? I should have overlayed the podcast with that song.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: You should.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we find out. Bred to challenge man and Superman, it lashes out its fury and new destructive force.
Our villain of the week, the Forearm Terror.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: Four Arms of Terror.
[00:17:57] Speaker A: Well, is it?
[00:17:58] Speaker B: Is it. I mean it's. It's good that it. We see the four arms as opposed to it just being a forearm.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: Well, the Forearm Terror, that would be a whole different fisting fisto situation.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I mean you've seen he man fisto's. I mean his forearm is a terror.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: I mean.
Well, I learned hypnotic control and I'm going to use that hypnotic control to wipe away any discussions that we had that were inappropriate from the beginning of the podcast.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: And I can get that for 45 cents. I can learn.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Oh yeah. Good, good, good.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: And now we're into the Four Armed Terror.
This is the Being with no Name.
It is in the shape of man, but it is not man yet. It lives, breathes and hungers. It wants food. The kind of food the forest doesn't grow, but the food is there.
It's there.
This is a weird story.
[00:19:05] Speaker B: It is, but that's what makes it so good.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: I.
Okay, yeah.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: Subjective. I know.
[00:19:15] Speaker A: There are elements of this story that I really like.
So the last, the last, last issue with the Hulk. The Jimmy Hulk.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: Ho ho, Green Giant.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean this one, I mean it's. It's better. So. But we kind of start the same. We've got some of the Harry's are out guarding Hairyland.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:38] Speaker A: And the Forum Terror comes and beats them all up again. That's your first couple pages. There's two of them.
And then we get Jimmy Olsen and so what was that electronic instrument called?
[00:19:52] Speaker B: The theremin.
[00:19:54] Speaker A: Yes. I knew you'd know.
Jimmy Olsen is playing a theremin.
[00:19:59] Speaker B: It's a. He's jamming. It's. But it's kind of a weird like crazy thing because it's like.
It is. It looks like a car engine, but it's not.
Looks like a typewriter, but it's not kind of does.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: It looks like a car. It has, like, Kirby Crackle in a circle.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: We got weird parts going everywhere.
And everybody, like, somebody read this comic and they created the Oculus.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Because they're all wearing, like, Oculus glasses and headphone things. It's. It's pretty wild. It's wild, man.
[00:20:38] Speaker A: It's far out. And Jimmy also manipulates the. This thing and it sends everybody. And then we get the weird. The really cool, like, black and white art in the background, and he sends everybody into a kaleidoscope rave.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: Yeah, they're. They're. They're having a good time, man. They're. They're. They're. They're bugging out. It's great.
[00:20:59] Speaker A: And Jimmy says, groovy. This is a real gas.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:05] Speaker A: Hey, man, groovy, guys.
Did you win the Slowpoke Black Cow or Milk Dud sweepstakes to get a Roadmaster Renegade?
[00:21:17] Speaker B: No.
Sadly, no.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: That's unfortunate. I think second prize is better than first prize.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: I think third prize is better than all prizes.
[00:21:29] Speaker A: There you go. See? So the Baja bike, we get to the next page and we get another crazy Kirby background.
And they're all. All the people are floating through the universe, and it's got. It's like a. It's like.
It's interesting because there's. I think these were after. In dc, but the origin of the universe thing when, like, the evil Green Lantern would always try to go. Crona would always try to go back, get the thing exposed. And then, like, here's what they were seeing through the little scope. But we have like a.
We have like a Buddha down in the corner of page eight.
[00:22:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: We've got all sorts of stuff going on around here. It's very interesting.
And then we get another advertisement to disrupt the flow.
I guess they. I mean, makes sense to advertise in the Jack Kirby book, right? I mean, that doesn't make sense.
And then suddenly everybody is thrust out of the universe on page 9, and we don't know what's going on.
And Scrapper is like, hey, did we blow a fuse?
And Superman the voice of reasons, like, easy, kids, don't panic.
And then we get the military. What?
[00:22:56] Speaker B: Oh, dang.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: Superman quickly activates his Visi monitor and contacts security. And this guy looks very military.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: Problems. Except the hat report for a briefing.
I thought this was like the evolved society. It had been past these norms, and that's why they just lived in the woods and had the Harry's and.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: That'S you would think. But I mean, how else are they going to create clones?
You know, I mean, let's think about it, Dan.
[00:23:29] Speaker A: Send in the clones.
[00:23:32] Speaker B: Send in the clones.
That's. I mean.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Well, as the clones come in somewhere else we've got the Superman tells the kids to stay out of it and stay put. And Jimmy's like, you can't call me a kid. I'm over 21.
Yeah, jumpsuit coming off his magic music device.
And then the newsboy Legion's all like, yeah, we're taking care of this.
And where they're going to call themselves the Outsiders.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: Oh, but they're inside.
[00:24:16] Speaker A: You think that some Hinton person is still upset about this?
[00:24:21] Speaker B: Maybe.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: I think Batman and the Outsiders might have a claim to that too. I don't know.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Admittedly, I think Black Lightning would have been a better character to pull in here, except the character hadn't been created yet. So true.
Well, anyway, meanwhile, the four armed man at the ranch, the four fisting man, is beating things up, fisting some rocks and he's like, nuclear radiation. He doesn't know it by word, but he feels it. An emptiness inside himself that must be filled.
He goes for the atomic pile.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:25:01] Speaker A: So I'm just curious, but the Harrys and their evolved civilization of clones and evolved beings just keeps a nuclear like pile for to power their base down right below them, of course.
[00:25:20] Speaker B: How do you think they keep so warm they don't need to wear all their clothes.
[00:25:25] Speaker A: Is that how the clones are happening? Is that how the deformed clones were.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: Happening because of the nuclear, the radioactiveness? Yeah.
[00:25:33] Speaker A: Of course that's.
[00:25:35] Speaker B: I mean, I'm not trying to draw the conclusion that's already there, but it's already there.
[00:25:43] Speaker A: Well, then we get another giant advertisement for three more pages.
What is going on with the ads in this book?
[00:25:51] Speaker B: I don't know, but that's a lot of posters and I'm not sure I like some of them.
[00:25:58] Speaker A: Yeah, they're a little disturbed. Well, the other thing is too with this, you know, I read it in the omnibus and now I've got the book and it's like, yeah, it's.
I didn't mind the flow in the omnibus, but I will say, like, I don't complain about advertising very much. I don't think I've ever complained about advertising on the podcast, have I?
[00:26:15] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:26:16] Speaker A: But this advertising is really disruptive.
[00:26:19] Speaker B: Well, they put in, I will say, oh, I apologize everybody for the yawn. Three o' clock comes very early around.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: Why are you apologizing?
[00:26:29] Speaker B: Because I yawned really loud and.
[00:26:32] Speaker A: Just stop yawning.
[00:26:33] Speaker B: I can't help it, Dan.
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Bored with me. You should be apologizing. Me?
[00:26:38] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. The.
I mean, because you got a book with these. These fairies and stuff like that. And the advertising is very much all about like, you know, wristbands piece necklaces and chokers and stuff like that. And then all these crazy wild psychedelic posters. Now it's all cool. I get it. Fits the demographic they're going for for this book.
But then in the midst of it. Was that it was. Was that a picture? I don't know who.
Who that person was in the Just do it or not the Just do it or the do it poster, but it.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Michael Jordan.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. If you go back to it now, I. I'm. I'm not sure, but it's that who I think it is? Is that who I think it is?
[00:27:33] Speaker A: Yeah. We're moving on from that. Yeah.
[00:27:35] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Okay, so there's two posters.
[00:27:44] Speaker A: Wow.
Yeah. Not the best.
Wow.
Yeah, those don't hold up. Okay, well, anyway, we get back to Kirby contrasting the nuclear man who's insane and is simple with the beautiful city that's around. And he's continuing to squash it up because he only knows he. It's. It's an interesting thing. Kind of like Hulkish again. So we're back kind of the Hulk things, but he's seeking out nuclear stuff and he's. That's all he. He's just very simple.
And Superman.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: I smash everything.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: Smash.
Superman's off to save everyone. And the Whiz Wagon is following him, even though he doesn't want the Whiz Wagon to follow him.
[00:28:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:32] Speaker A: And he flies away and is like, see you later.
And then immediately starts fighting the four armed Fury.
And his fists of Fury rained down on Superman.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Oh, man. It is. It is like a.
Like a crazy amount of fist to.
[00:28:53] Speaker A: Face.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: Fist on Superman. Hands holding hands. And Superman not knowing where to go so much.
It's like Superman has too many opponents, but it's only one.
What will he do, Dan? What will he do?
[00:29:17] Speaker A: Well, he doesn't do very much because he gets the crap beat out of him. By.
By. And we've been introduced now and above Superman is a face produced by the most extreme experimentation with the human cell at the project.
Its counterpart would be known as DN Alien.
And DNAlien does get hit by Superman and gets knocked back.
But Superman's not doing so well. Against Dnalien. So Jimmy gets a weapon from the Harry's.
We get another advertisement, though. I know. They slow down after this for Aurora models. Okay, Racing models this time.
[00:30:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:03] Speaker A: Not universal monsters, which seem to fit here, but that's okay.
[00:30:06] Speaker B: Totally.
[00:30:07] Speaker A: And they shoot the Dnalien with this thing.
And Jimmy.
Superman's Jimmy. That won't work. The suspect, he has. I suspect he has two brains to coordinate his complex body structure.
Oh, I see.
How does Superman suspect that.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: Dan? You forget Superman's reporter. He's got the. He's got super deduction powers.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: He's got mad skills.
Yeah.
[00:30:41] Speaker B: And that's why him and Bruce Wayne always argue and bicker. Because Superman is not a detective. But he's very good at deducing things.
[00:30:53] Speaker A: Yeah, well, the DNA alien wraps them in some energy into a big radioactive cocoon.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: And throws them.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: Such a good movie.
I mean, not.
[00:31:08] Speaker A: You're saying words that I don't understand. I don't know what's happening right now.
Oh, hey, we've got our national diamond sales again. I wish these guys would have run into some nuclear weapons.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: Skip.
[00:31:21] Speaker A: Yeah, well, in the.
The DN alien goes after tears. Some stuff free. Goes into the danger zone.
[00:31:31] Speaker B: Oh, no. The danger zone?
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, he's on a high. I understand. He's on a highway.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: Oh, to the danger zone. Oh, it's gonna be dangerous.
[00:31:42] Speaker A: Some Kenny Loggins finest right there.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: Good.
Too soon?
[00:31:50] Speaker A: No, it's all. It's never too soon. Oh, well. Oh, yeah. Batman Forever, question mark.
[00:31:57] Speaker B: Oh, that's That. I mean, that's Iceman, but yeah. I mean, too soon.
[00:32:02] Speaker A: Oh, so now. Yeah, see, that's why I'm not allowed to do stand up. It's just one step across the line too far. Frey's dark side, He's Darkseid.
[00:32:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: Okay, it says it right here on the page. It's not just me.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: It does. It does.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: Well, now we get back to our friends Makari and Simeon.
And they're very excited.
[00:32:27] Speaker B: Oh, there.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: One DN alien has taken his path to the giant atomic pile.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: And now is that him getting to the atomic pile or is he going there to leave an atomic pile?
[00:32:43] Speaker B: Both, actually. It's a dual purpose situation.
His one mission was to get to the pile and he was gonna eat. And once he's done eating, he's gonna leave a pile.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: An atomic pile. Yeah.
[00:32:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:58] Speaker A: See, well, Makari and Simeon didn't think too well because they have one person, one of these DN aliens going berserk on Earth. But they just hatched a whole bunch of new ones.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: And on the. On page 22, we get the final countdown is on.
It isn't waiting for Jimmy Olsen, his pal Superman, or for any of us. So stay where you are on ground zero so you won't miss the following issue. The big boom.
Now, I believe we were promised the Guardian, were we not?
[00:33:31] Speaker B: We were. We were promised the Guardian. We got no Guardian. There was no Guardian to be. Got no Guardian guarding anything. He. Well, you know. He is guarding. He was guarding.
Gardening. He was gardening. He was. The Guardian was gardening.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: We were also promised their stalwart sires. And I don't remember seeing their parents in here too.
[00:33:52] Speaker B: There was none of those.
Well, they were all hanging out. They were all hanging out together talking about the good old days when the Guardian was one of the guys and all the news boy. The old newsboys were the Newsboy Legion. And they were just reminiscing and having a good old time.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, that's what. And they were gardening and guarding. Guarding the garden.
That's exactly how it happened.
[00:34:23] Speaker A: Well, there we go. Okay, that's. That's Greg's explanation of where the Guardian has been.
[00:34:28] Speaker B: Yeah, because we didn't get him in the book.
[00:34:31] Speaker A: Oh, holy crap.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: What?
[00:34:34] Speaker A: I found the Guardian.
[00:34:36] Speaker B: Where?
[00:34:38] Speaker A: Well, let's see if you go back. Oh, wait, did I find. No, I don't think I found the Guardian. I'm trying to find the Guardian. Just give me a second to find the Guardian. Can't you find the Guardian?
[00:34:50] Speaker B: I'm looking for the Guardian too, Dan. I don't see no Guardian.
There's no Guardian. There's no Guardian. There's no Guardian. Oh wait, is that the. Oh my God. He's dead.
[00:35:01] Speaker A: No. 22. Yeah, no guardian. Okay, well, we get to the letters. We've got letters. Jimmy Olsen's pen pals.
And the first one says. So you want to know how I like Jack Kirby's art?
Jack is the only reason I bought a copy of Jimmy Olsen of Jo. Yeah, his art was, as is usual, excellent.
The Newsboy Legion is a good idea. And it looks like your long overdue in innovations will make at least one DC comic worthy of the trademark which used to guarantee the best comic in the industry.
Incidentally, Kirby's writing isn't bad either. Now that you have him, keep him.
[00:35:44] Speaker B: That's a praise.
That one goes in the praise pile.
[00:35:48] Speaker A: Alright, alright. Well the next one. Dear editor, the conclusion of Jack Kirby's Jimmy Olsen adventure with the Newsboy Legion and The Mountain of Judgment was a disappointment.
I think the major problem is that the plot was abandoned in favor of an elaborate. Of elaborate art and page race on the Zoom way. I mean.
[00:36:08] Speaker B: Not wrong, but they're not right either.
[00:36:13] Speaker A: I think we're back to sort of the comparisons I made of the early Image books. Right?
[00:36:17] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe.
[00:36:18] Speaker A: Like, I mean, there's definitely something to look at on these pages.
The art is really cool.
We did get some movement in the plot here, I guess. I mean, this, in this book. We didn't have the villain of the week just end in this story. Right. Like, going, so you got more of.
[00:36:35] Speaker B: It at the end.
More.
[00:36:39] Speaker A: Okay, next letter. Dear Editor, it's incredible that Jack Kirby could, in only the first two DC mags he's produced, do no less than shatter the limits of imagination within the bounds of 44 comic pages. Okay, we're going to count that one as a win.
[00:36:52] Speaker B: Win.
[00:36:53] Speaker A: That's a, that's a four.
[00:36:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: Dear Jack, sure I've been wrong before, but never this much. I was very disappointed with Jimmy Olsen 133 and 134, but, oh, no. 133, but 134 clears up and explains all my unfounded worries.
Oh, now, Dan Geno of Santa Barbara, California, if these books cleared up all of your worries in the world, I would like another letter explaining what those worries are.
I'm just saying, like, I want to know more.
That can be a story in and of itself.
[00:37:34] Speaker B: He still has reservations, though, if you read further on.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Well, does he have. Where does he have reservations to?
[00:37:44] Speaker B: He's. He's waiting. He's waiting on a seat at Sherry's. He's gonna wait a while.
[00:37:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he usually did. Or you got kicked out.
[00:37:53] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:37:53] Speaker A: I mean, they're gone and you just wanted pie.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: He just wanted pie, just like my Uncle Chuck. I, I. What is it that you're here for? I'm just here for the piece of.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: That's it.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: Like one. One slice? No, the whole pie, please.
Okay, I'll take two.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we can say the reviews are mixed so far. But, I mean, you know, there was.
[00:38:19] Speaker B: I felt like there was more wins than loses.
[00:38:23] Speaker A: I feel like in this story, the art is really cool.
Yeah, I feel like it progressed.
The opening sequence, though, is just interesting because it literally has nothing to do with anything. And it goes for eight pages.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: But that's what makes this so neat to look at.
[00:38:42] Speaker A: Well, it is pretty, but eight of the 22 pages didn't progress the story in any way whatsoever.
They don't even go back to the clones or anything. Like, we get no reference to the clones. We get no guardian.
[00:38:54] Speaker B: They left the clones alone. They're bringing you to the next story and building it up.
[00:39:01] Speaker A: Now. I am reading all of the stories right now in the omnibus. And again, I will say it fits together if you're reading it all, but I. I don't. You know, it anyway. I'll just say, like, I'm gonna sit where I was before. I love the art. I think it's cool. It does have a very early image comics feel to me.
It doesn't feel like the story progresses very quickly. When it does, it seems to be villain of the week.
We've got.
We now. We have this week. This. This one at least it was like a villain of the week, but then we've got our villain of the month, I should say, because it's a comic book. But it's. Then we get a whole bunch of the same villain next time, so that should progress the story slightly differently. And it looks like we're moving on with Darkseid's henchmen and trying to move through the story there. So. Yeah, you know, I look forward to seeing that.
But, yeah, I mean, it. It did take a while to pick up. And, you know, I.
I don't know about you, but I know you did, but I dropped off some image books really quick with beautiful art that had no comprehensive storytelling. I maybe picked up the first six issues, but maybe read like three and then never went on after that. I just went down and told them to not order that book for me again anymore.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: Don't get that for me anymore because.
[00:40:15] Speaker A: I didn't have all the money in the world then. And yeah, it.
Yeah, I mean, the art can only take you so far.
[00:40:23] Speaker B: I. I will say it's. I mean, I hate to say it, even. Even in current times, too, there are. There are some books that are like that from the same publisher. So it's like you're. You're like, hey, this is really cool, but weird story.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I probably could pull some out right now, but yeah, I think there are a couple of writers too, that sometimes I feel like. Write amazing stories, which it's such a thing because actually, funny that I have Final Crisis, Legion of Three Worlds right here, which is an older story, but, you know, that's a Geoff Johns, George Perez and Scott Koblish story. Well, by the way, I find Scott Kobush's inking on George Perez amazing, even though he's one of the later anchors on him. And I have a Scott Kobush piece anyway. But yeah, I mean, I think sometimes Geoff Johns can take, you know, an entire comic to move the story like five pages.
So I think sometimes it's not just the artist. Right. Like, sometimes it's who they're working with.
But then, you know, you've got friends. Like this beautiful book here by Mark Waid. And Mark Waid is dense a lot of the time in the storytelling. So, you know, I don't know.
Yeah, it's just a, you know, and it's just your preference. Right. But I will say, like, I mean, if you're getting a book that's really pretty, which this book is the book we're reading Jimmy Olsen. But. But yeah, I mean, I almost feel like this needs to be a two weeker. Every two bi weekly.
[00:42:06] Speaker B: You want more faster. So it just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
[00:42:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I want to progress the story.
[00:42:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I get you.
[00:42:16] Speaker A: And we get Jack's Jackson.
[00:42:20] Speaker B: He's only one man, Dan.
[00:42:22] Speaker A: He's writing and drawing, writing and drawing five books.
[00:42:27] Speaker B: I know. So I mean, it's all about. It's all about taking the time and putting it where it needs to go.
[00:42:35] Speaker A: Well, yeah. And I mean, it's like again, it's. It's hard to be critical of Jack Kirby, but it's not because he's written a lot of things. So not every book is going to be perfect.
I'm back to my old New Gods book. Right. Like, like, and I'll just say, like, you know, it's when you get into this too and you start to read through and I'm. I don't know why I'm pulling this out just to hold it. But it's, you know, really, when you start digging in here too, you really find out again that he's trying to create a whole universe. So I'm trying to read that whole universe.
But, you know, there's just some things too. Like, I mean, I just think he was in love with a couple of concepts and he brings them back. Right. So I'm actually on the Superman family pages here, flipped over to them. By the way, this is. Sorry, let me go back to. This is Old Gods and New.
It's a companion for Jack Kirby's Fourth World by John Morrow, who probably made two Morrows. Yeah. So.
And, but you know, in looking at this, you know, when I was reading through this the other day, and I'm going to read through again when we're getting toward the end. Right. Because I don't want to spoil everything in here that I'm reading, but, you know, just a refresher on the newsboy Legion. Right. The characters date back to the 1942 Star Spangled Comics number seven.
You know, that he did with Joe Simon and the Guardian and everything. And it's just like, you know, I don't.
It's fun because, I mean, he did update them. They're there in a motorcycle. You can kind of see them.
[00:44:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:44:09] Speaker A: And then, you know, the updated version of that is the Wiz Wagon. Right. So, yeah.
And there's some of that, by the way, if you, if you are on the video version, you can see some of the cool Jack Kirby art there that I'm pointing to that we were talking about in the background. So, I mean, again, it's, it's cool, I think, to do that, I guess. You know, there's a couple of things too. Just thinking out loud and Jack getting into dc.
Obviously Dave Cockrum was drawing Legion at the time.
[00:44:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:43] Speaker A: So I wouldn't want, I wouldn't want to trade that history because obviously Dave Cockrum then X Men then. Yeah, yeah. But can you imagine Jack on a Legion of Superheroes book in the future in outer space with this art style?
[00:44:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
Could be wild.
[00:45:02] Speaker A: I mean, I just think there may have been better thing. Again, I know he picked this book because there was no artist on it and that's what he, that's what he says. Right. There was no artist or writer on it, but permanently assigned. But Yeah, I just think there may have been a couple things in the DCU more appropriate for Jack. But.
Okay, I, I mean, we're getting it. It's moving along. I can't wait. I, I'm, I am still excited to read the next issue and I'm still excited to keep reading the omnibus, so they haven't lost me completely.
[00:45:31] Speaker B: Still gotcha.
[00:45:33] Speaker A: Still got me. But it seems to be plodding along, plotting along, just plotting along like a Zack Snyder film.
[00:45:45] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:45:47] Speaker A: Well, Zack Snyder DC film.
[00:45:49] Speaker B: Anyway, I was like your hour in to a four hour, five hour movie.
[00:46:00] Speaker A: I, Well, I mean, one consequence. Like I, I think.
Okay, so I know the Superman editorial office was over this book, but these were still edited, written and drawn by Jack. And you know, I think not to again critique the King, but I'm gonna, I think it takes. There's a lot of hubris to think you don't need an editor.
[00:46:29] Speaker B: True.
[00:46:30] Speaker A: Everyone needs an editor.
[00:46:32] Speaker B: Everyone needs somebody to tap them on the shoulder once in a while and say.
[00:46:39] Speaker A: Yeah, and for everybody that knows me personally that listens to this podcast, yes, I can turn the finger at myself too, because I know when I'm creating, I'm like, yeah, my crop's perfect and people like it. I don't need anybody editing it or fixing it or changing it. Right? So, like, I totally get that.
But yeah, it does take a lot of hubris to just think you don't need to be edited on a book. And I think these books could have benefited from some editing.
[00:47:10] Speaker B: Fair. That's a fair, that's, that's, that's a fair comment.
I will allow it.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Oh, thank you.
[00:47:18] Speaker B: No, I mean, I totally agree because I'm the same. I, I wholeheartedly agree. When I'm writing stuff, I would much rather have somebody tell me what they think could be better, different, changed, or left out based off of what they're seeing or not seeing.
Because if I think it's great, somebody out there might not be picking up what's inside my brain or, you know, whatever. And an editor can help bring through a better story so everyone can enjoy it, not just you.
[00:47:58] Speaker A: Well, here we go. We have a couple issues left here.
We're definitely going to read 138.
Did we say we were reading 139?
[00:48:09] Speaker B: I believe so.
[00:48:11] Speaker A: I hope so because Don Rickles is on the COVID and.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: Yeah, you got 139. Got 139 in the, in the hopper.
[00:48:22] Speaker A: Okay.
Yeah, I, I really feel like we've got to read the don Rickle story. 140 is a hundred page giant or is a giant size? I don't know. It's 100 pages.
[00:48:35] Speaker B: You don't want to read that one.
[00:48:36] Speaker A: It's got old stories.
I mean, I would read more stories.
[00:48:39] Speaker B: But if you don't want to, you don't read those. The giant size.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: We have to read 140 and 141 because it looks like Don Rickles is a two part story double book.
[00:48:51] Speaker B: I mean, it's Don Rickles. How could you not? I mean.
[00:48:56] Speaker A: He'S class. I'm. I mean, my curiosity is totally peaked for this. So I don't know, maybe we should just skip next week and go straight to Don Rickles.
[00:49:05] Speaker B: Like, this is, is crazy. No, we need to, we need to, we need to follow through with the trajectory of the story and then get to Don Rickles. That's your payoff, Dan. That's your reward.
[00:49:16] Speaker A: Apparently, like, oh, well, okay, well, Don Rickles, Jack Kirby, art. I don't know. This is, this is going to be complete and total madness.
I'll have to go back to the John Morrows book and find out how in the hell Don Rickles ended up in these stories.
[00:49:33] Speaker B: Money. Lots and lots of money.
You should do that. I'm sure the 70s conversion of how much Don Rickles get paid in 70s money and what it would be in, in 2025.
[00:49:44] Speaker A: It could be amazing.
[00:49:46] Speaker B: It would be. He was making money hand over fist. And if it was a forearm fister, he was making it like that guy. And if there was multiples, then he was like the fistiest.
[00:50:01] Speaker A: The four fisted.
[00:50:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:03] Speaker A: Four times.
[00:50:04] Speaker B: Some Four times the cash, the money grab.
[00:50:08] Speaker A: Oh, I was gonna say four times the fisting power.
[00:50:11] Speaker B: Four.
Four times the fisting power.
[00:50:14] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, that's. Well, on that note.
Yeah, on that note, I think probably should wrap this one up. First off, um, yeah, I, we have not mentioned the Retro Emporium on Meeker street in Kent, Washington, where you could get a copy probably of Starlight Number seven if Greg hasn't left.
[00:50:35] Speaker B: I don't, I don't.
[00:50:36] Speaker A: You cannot get a copy. But you can get a copy of Absolute Zero's Camp Launchpad.
[00:50:41] Speaker B: You can. And some Gina Brace books. But Absolute Zero's Camp Launchpad for sure.
At the Retro Emporium in Kent, Washington. Yes.
[00:50:51] Speaker A: And you could monitor the Retro Emporium in Kent, Washington and the Record Room for live bands and events going on there constantly.
[00:50:58] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
[00:50:59] Speaker A: That's why Greg is yawning because he has to stay up all night and he's an old man.
[00:51:03] Speaker B: Oh my goodness. I, I, we had, I, I will say, I mean, we had an amazing event this weekend.
It was, it was great. We had far none. The, probably one of the best turnouts and events we've had since we've been doing this for the last year. And it was, it was great to have all the folks that, that came out for it and performed and came out to see these people perform.
We love to keep it going. So if you are in the area and you want to see live music, follow the web or follow the web page, follow, follow the Facebook, follow the Instagram, see when we're having another event and, and come check out something that looks interesting to you because honestly, the, the lineups are, are a pretty good mix.
I mean, last weekend was all hip hop, but most of, the, most of the times that we do shows, it's a pretty good mix of various types of music. So if one band isn't your your fancy, another band that might be playing that night might be. So it's definitely worth it to come out and check it out.
[00:52:16] Speaker A: What about the Hip Hop Hippo?
[00:52:19] Speaker B: The Hip Hop Hippo did not appear, but we did have Lemon Vice from.
From Portland, Oregon. Lemon Vice is like a young weird owl. It was amazing to watch him perform live. I've seen him before and then watching his videos on the Internet are great, but watching him live was just a treat.
Did an encore performance set because just slayed it. I mean, just the. The best. The best way to describe it. Like I said, it's like watching a young. Like a young weird owl perform.
He. He sings, he dances, he, he raps, he. He does it all. And it's just a. It's. It is a whole package of greatness. But all the performers that performed were fantastic. We had. I.
I would try to name them all, but there was literally like 20 performers on the bill, so.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: Okay, well, there you go. And Retro Emporium, live music record room Greg, and just go see them.
[00:53:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:53:28] Speaker A: Meeker Street, Kent, Washington, right downtown. And then of course, we'll make a shout out to Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul. You can hit him up for Jiu Jitsu training at.
On 27th and Jackson at Certified Martial Arts. And also he could be your lawyer because my lawyer can choke out your lawyer very quickly and darn tooten.
And actually representing me right now after I had an accident. So if you want good representation, but really for. Could be for anything because Paul can do multiple things. But employment law, if you had trouble at work, you could go and have Paul represent you and help take care of business. And recently, as of the day before, we recorded this podcast. Now licensed in the state of California.
[00:54:19] Speaker B: State of California. That's amazing.
[00:54:22] Speaker A: He passed the bar in California.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: So congratulations.
[00:54:26] Speaker A: Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul can now represent you if you are in Washington state or.
Well, soon to represent. I shouldn't say as of now because I think he's tossed to get the license. But he passed the bar, so he will be able to represent you in the Golden State in California as well as the Evergreen State.
Now, what happens if the Evergreen State combines with the Golden State?
[00:54:52] Speaker B: Golden Evergreens.
[00:54:54] Speaker A: I was thinking it's the Brown State of Oregon.
[00:54:57] Speaker B: Brown. Oh, oh, whoa, wait, it just become Oregon?
[00:55:06] Speaker A: No, that's not where I was going.
[00:55:08] Speaker B: Oh, I.
Well then he needs to get licensed in Oregon. Then he can practice all up and down. I5 or 101.
[00:55:19] Speaker A: I think I5 is more dangerous.
[00:55:23] Speaker B: 101.
[00:55:24] Speaker A: Well, the 101 could be dangerous too.
[00:55:27] Speaker B: Very true.
[00:55:28] Speaker A: Well, anyway, I think throw the challenge out there and see if he accepts it.
Well, you can reach out if you want Paul's legal services. You can reach out to late night legalmail.com that's I do tonight legal.
I know you do.
He also represents you.
[00:55:50] Speaker B: I was going to say. I mean he not only does he do all those other wonderful things that that Dan said, but he also does contract law.
[00:55:58] Speaker A: So. Well, on that note, I think it is time to go.
But we've had a wonderful podcast. I hope you've enjoyed it. I've been a little bit subdued, but I apologize for that. A little car wreck, you know, no big deal. But hopefully you've enjoyed it and we've enjoyed it. And we'll get back to you next week with another edition of funny book forensics. And we will be off into Jimmy Olsen 138. The big boom. It's a blast.
[00:56:25] Speaker B: Big boom.
[00:56:26] Speaker A: Bye, everyone.
