Episode Transcript
[00:00:04] Speaker A: Wait, how do we do this?
That's what happens when we record two in the same week.
[00:00:10] Speaker B: It is crazy.
[00:00:12] Speaker A: Glasses off. I don't need glasses to read Beast or Gold.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: I do.
My vision isn't bad. It's impaired.
[00:00:20] Speaker A: My vision is bad. The camera is really low.
[00:00:23] Speaker B: It is low.
[00:00:24] Speaker A: Are we doing this correctly?
[00:00:25] Speaker B: I don't know. We're. We'll find out when we get the comments from people saying, oh, all we got was crotch shots.
[00:00:32] Speaker A: I don't think that's the podcast that they're going to.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: I thought this was the. That thought.
[00:00:38] Speaker A: Well, that's the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen podcast.
[00:00:41] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:00:42] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. Oh, you're saying Booster Gold is not an extraordinary gentleman.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: Booster Gold is an extraordinary gentleman.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: When I think of extraordinary gentleman, I think this guy.
[00:00:53] Speaker B: You think Booster Gold?
This one right here.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: Well, he's no longer Gold.
[00:00:56] Speaker B: Well, he's fighting mad.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he's mad. He's. He's fighting like if.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: If you were in a room and you saw Mad, he'd be fighting it. He's like, oh, man, I'm angry at you. I'm going to fight you mad.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: Oh, it does say he's fighting mad.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: I mean, I know you can't see this from here.
[00:01:10] Speaker B: They can't see it, but he is. He's fighting mad.
[00:01:13] Speaker A: All they see is my glasses on the table.
Keep playing with my glasses.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: Comics most unusual new hero.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Well, okay, Booster, goal number three. Welcome to the podcast. A fantastic start, as always. Is this Craig over here?
I'm Dan over there. Hopefully you know that if you don't.
[00:01:29] Speaker B: Well, then please go back to the.
[00:01:31] Speaker A: Very first episode that we have posted 247.
[00:01:34] Speaker B: Yeah, you'll.
[00:01:35] Speaker A: You.
[00:01:35] Speaker B: You be kind of lost, because all the rest of them have been lost too.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: So the audio quality on those first few episodes is amazing.
[00:01:41] Speaker B: Oh, it's so good.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: It's so good. So good. Remember when I said I was going to start, like, re mastering those? Yeah.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: No, we want you to experience those fine moments just the way they were meant to be.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: Unlistenable.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: No, just the way they're supposed to be. Scratchy.
[00:02:02] Speaker A: Scratchy?
[00:02:02] Speaker B: Yeah, like a wool sweater.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Oh, find my sweater now. I came from work. I didn't have. Again, I didn't have my stuff. I decided I could. Look, I've got a tank top on. Hey, if we want to go to.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: That, you said, hey, we're going to record. Can you come to the store and record? I show up to the store.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: Look, I said I could put on a retro Emporium T shirt. And both you and Ann looked at me and were like, yeah, no, no.
So we could be. We could. We could be advertising for the retro emporium in downtown Ken Washington on Meeker Street. We could be doing that. But instead we're. We're not. We're advertising a beautiful blue sweater and.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: This amazing sweatshirt and hat combo.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: In fact, I think for a green screen or a blue screen, I'm wearing like every color you should not wear. Yeah, no, pretty much.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: And I'm surprised that it even shows up on this green screen that you see behind us. That looks like a video game.
[00:02:56] Speaker A: You have a green screen back.
[00:02:57] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, that's. I mean, that's not a real wall back there.
[00:02:59] Speaker A: And we have vampire blood.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: They can't see that.
[00:03:02] Speaker A: That's over there. They can't see it. No, they can only see this.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: They can.
[00:03:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:06] Speaker B: They can't see any of that.
[00:03:07] Speaker A: Hey, what is that character called, that vacuum things? Kirby. No, that's not Kirby. That's something else that the.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:03:16] Speaker A: Okay, well, how come you don't know the things in your own store? It's embarrassing.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Kirby is like a vacuum.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: You know, if I was here with the squacho man. Yes, the Squatcher man would be able to answer the real questions about this store. He probably would employ the month. Why did you take down his poster?
[00:03:30] Speaker B: Because we needed to put up magnets on those. Cool map.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: That's terrible. Like all you.
These small businesses here in Kent, they just see their employees as disposable.
Is treat their employees as subhuman. Remember, folks always go to the very large stores because they treat their employees right. When you go to places like the retro emporium in Kent, Washington, you could be the employee of the month. And then you could be washed away from history like you never mattered.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: I do believe that the squacho man wanted to be continued to, you know, keep his.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: Yeah. You have no defense for this kind of behavior. The way you. I mean, you treat your employees, it's. It's incredible.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: He wanted to go back out to the woods and live.
[00:04:17] Speaker A: How do you know that? He said you've never been in the same room with him at the same time.
[00:04:22] Speaker B: He wrote me a letter, Dan. He sent it post mail?
[00:04:26] Speaker A: No. Is it pre mailed?
[00:04:28] Speaker B: It was. It was pre toasted. Post posted.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: How do you toast mail?
[00:04:33] Speaker B: You put it in the toaster and.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: He toasted when that burned the mail?
[00:04:37] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. He kept it inside aluminum foil bag.
[00:04:40] Speaker A: Well.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: I know what you're thinking.
[00:04:44] Speaker A: I don't think that would. Well, anyway, I don't.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: It would.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: I don't think. Well, it did. DC Comics, 1935-1985. Apparently, even though we have a cover date of April, we're still celebrating 1985.
[00:04:55] Speaker B: Well, yeah, it's important.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: Cover date of April, 1986, mind you.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, but.
[00:05:00] Speaker A: And we have Comics Most Unusual Hero. We already started talking about it, and you said he was fighting mad.
[00:05:05] Speaker B: He's on you.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: He doesn't look fighting mad.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: We have Booster Gold on the first page. A Legion flight ring.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: And he is screaming. No, because the last page we saw, that last panel skates.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: Yeah, because Skeets has a hole in his ass.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: No, Skeets was blown up. We didn't even get to see.
[00:05:25] Speaker A: Oh, that was on the COVID That was on the COVID It was blowed up.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: He was blown up.
[00:05:29] Speaker A: He was bowed up.
[00:05:30] Speaker B: No, he was blown up.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: Oh, well, that's kind of terrible.
[00:05:34] Speaker B: Yeah, it was terrible.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Well, that was issue, too. That was a long time ago. How are we supposed to remember the. Oh, you were devastated.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: I was devastated.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: I tried to skip right to the letter page. Yeah.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: And I was.
[00:05:44] Speaker A: Well, if you skipped right to the letter page, you wouldn't have had a terrible week by being devastated.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: No. I was so sad, and I haven't.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Let it go, you know, it is terrible, though.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: What's that?
[00:05:53] Speaker A: DC Comics, Inc. A Warner Communication.
[00:05:59] Speaker B: Oh, my.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: Well, anyway, it's a Booster Gold, and he's flying through the sky and he is mad, it says. With grim determination, Booster launches into the sky toward the explosion.
Oh, he's got to go find some Skeets. Skeets looks fine. He just has a smoke coming out of his ass now. Oh, yeah.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:06:20] Speaker A: Well, he got shot by a prison guard.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: He got shot and then he's. Yeah.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Well, good news.
I'm sure that Blackguard will be able to delay Booster Gold for a while. He won't be able to save his friend.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: You think so? You think that.
[00:06:35] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Black Card is. Blackard is number one villain in black.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: But it looks like he's throwing some sort of power ball at sk. A power ball?
[00:06:44] Speaker A: Teal guard?
[00:06:45] Speaker B: Teal guard.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Is it a teal ball? It kind of looks teal.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: It does look teal.
[00:06:50] Speaker A: It goes boom, boom. Yeah.
[00:06:52] Speaker B: And then.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: Oh, it's a mace.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: Oh, it's his mace. And then there's no Skeets.
[00:06:56] Speaker A: So if you're a Black Guard, does the Black Guard carry maces? Or, like, what would Be your traditional weapon of the Black Guard?
[00:07:05] Speaker B: I don't know. That's a good question. I'm assuming Mace, because clearly he's based.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: On some sort of historical reference. This isn't just a random readers right in with nothing.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I know.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: It's not. Just like they just made a throwaway character for three issues.
[00:07:18] Speaker B: Think. No, no, you don't know.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: This guy is going to show up forever and ever in comics.
[00:07:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, as you point out, movies.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: Comics, TV shows, everywhere. The Black Guard. The Black Guard Dressed in teal Dressed.
[00:07:32] Speaker B: In teal with a magenta hair.
He is Black Guard. He is there, don't you worry he'll cradle your skeets and hit them with a mace and make him to le. Oh, my gosh. He blew him up.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: Okay, well, that was brought to you by Greg.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: You know. You know everyone. He's a children's author. Yeah.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: I write little ditties songs.
[00:07:59] Speaker A: Oh, sh.
I thought.
Thought you were saying something else there for a second. I said a ditty involved. Baby oil.
[00:08:07] Speaker B: No, no.
D I T T Y.
[00:08:10] Speaker A: That was. That was a little scary.
[00:08:12] Speaker B: Geez.
[00:08:14] Speaker A: Wow. Anyway, hey, the neighborhood is. Let us know they're here.
[00:08:17] Speaker B: It's lively outside.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: Well, we go to the next page and Dirk Jerkhead.
Dirk Jerkhead is yelling out that there's. We're talking major problems now.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: He is? Yeah.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Mole.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: Because, like, Skeets is blown up and there's all sorts of bad things going on. The Black Guard.
Yeah, Bad News bears.
[00:08:42] Speaker A: And it was because Booster's little friend was destroyed, apparently. Yeah. Yeah.
And, well, he's like. But there's a strong bond between those guys. They're a team. They're a package.
Kind of like the Midnight Express and the Rock and Roll Express.
[00:08:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:08:59] Speaker A: And us.
[00:09:03] Speaker B: Us one.
[00:09:04] Speaker A: No, no, no, not us.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: Yeah, us one.
[00:09:08] Speaker A: Everybody.
What is a team of us one. Like, who's his teammate?
[00:09:12] Speaker B: It's him and his trucks. Man and machine.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: I thought it was his brain.
[00:09:14] Speaker B: It's his brain and his.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: And his.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Well, in his truck, of course.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, anyway, we get a bunch of discussion here on this page. A lot of discussion on this page.
Apparently Dirk is happy and then sad and then happy again.
And Boosters just sitting back going, what a guy. What a guy. We love. We love these promoters.
[00:09:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:37] Speaker A: I feel like Booster Gold has given himself all these problems. He has.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: He's brought all these problems onto himself.
[00:09:45] Speaker A: Well, we get a title of the book. It's called the night has no 2,000 eyes. Oh, wow. Now, does that make. Does that mean that the thousand. Wait. Is upgraded?
[00:09:57] Speaker B: I guess so.
[00:09:59] Speaker A: Oh, I get it. They're a thousand and everyone has two eyes.
That equals 2,000.
[00:10:08] Speaker B: That's. That's a very good.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: I get it. Observation. I get it. It only took me, like, two minutes to get it. I got it.
[00:10:15] Speaker B: I was gonna say. Or more.
[00:10:17] Speaker A: Well, how long. Brilliant.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: How long have you had this book for?
[00:10:19] Speaker A: Look, look.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: How long have you had this book for?
[00:10:22] Speaker A: I. Yeah, you know, irrelevant.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: He's had it for 20 years.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: 20. Well, anyway.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: 30 years.
[00:10:28] Speaker A: The.
Well, anyway, the Blackguard says, you know, Dancer, I'm still amazed to think the 1000 could build a secret base of operations right here under Central harbor without someone finding it. You know, blackguard is also good for exposition.
[00:10:44] Speaker B: Yes, he is.
Hi, everybody. I am the Black Guard. And let me tell you more about the story.
[00:10:50] Speaker A: Yes, he could be the Teal Guard. Yeah, maybe the Teal Guard is not good for exposition and that's why he named. He's named the Black.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, of course. It makes the most sense.
[00:11:01] Speaker A: What if Cable came back from when they were the 100 and it gave Exposition to explain how they became the 1000?
[00:11:11] Speaker B: Oh, wow. Interesting.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: Wow. That'd be a fun story.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: That would be a fun story.
[00:11:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it'd be great. Why don't you write that one?
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: You can sell it as a DC Comics Cable Blackguard crossover book.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: You find out they're brothers.
[00:11:24] Speaker A: It's the team up everyone wants.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Well, maybe. Maybe that's how where Cable came from.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: They're like.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: They're. They came from the same unit of the Black Guard. Yeah, I mean, D.C. black is black Guard.
[00:11:34] Speaker A: He's.
[00:11:34] Speaker B: He's Black Guard of the Black Guard.
[00:11:36] Speaker A: DC Comics did some comics in the. Remember, like the mid-90s, they were like, so and so plus crossover.
[00:11:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So it'd be like Superman plus, and I believe it was.
Was it Legion of Superheroes plus.
Oh, what was the.
How. What was the Chris Claremont book? Sovereign Seven.
Yeah, it was like Sovereign Seven plus Legion of Superheroes, the crossover no one wanted.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: I mean, somebody did.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Well, I guess. I mean, maybe Chris Claremont wanting writing the Legion could have been cool. Yeah, I think he was pretty burnt out by that point after writing the X men for, like, 9,000 years. That's why he wasn't writing the X Men.
But, you know, why are. You're yawning again? You and Travis, all you do is yawn like. It is incredible. We have the most interesting book in the history of comics in front of Us. And you're exhausted.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: I know. It's been a day.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: It's been a day. Like, what kind of the day are the Thousand are having? They're having a great day.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: They're having a great day.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: They've defeated Booster Gold. They defeated Skeets.
[00:12:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: Dirk Jerkhead is happy cuz he can make a different movie.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: And now you got Diamond Eyes.
[00:12:47] Speaker A: Diamond Eyes is back. Oh, Exposition Lad is going off. Yeah.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: I told you I blew up Skeets.
Yeah.
And the guy's like, diamond. Diamond Face guy's like, who?
[00:13:02] Speaker B: Who?
[00:13:03] Speaker A: You?
[00:13:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:05] Speaker A: Your insolence amazes me.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. It's. It's Cobra Commander.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: These villains have.
These villains have straight up like, worst villain language ever. Like, it's like the most stereotypical villain language you could ever possibly have.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: But it is Cobra Commander as a superhero. When you look at the costume, it all makes sense.
He's got a cape, he's got a ma. He's. The mask is like. Yes, it is. Oh, my gosh.
[00:13:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And that's like, who. Who is a shitty member of Cobra?
I mean, Storm Shadow, popular opinion.
[00:13:41] Speaker B: No, no, no, not Storm Shadow.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: This is like.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: I mean, it's like having major blood.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: Oh, Major blood comes in and then he goes. Boost. Your Gold's ally could have been an asset to the Thousand. Obviously, it is a superior product of advanced technology.
And Blackguard's like, you're really something, you know, Because Blackguard thinks he did something good.
And then his boss, Mr. Jerkhead. Diamond face Cobra.
Cobra. Diamond Face Commander. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yelling at him and he's like. And then, then he. Then Diamond Face guy loses. He's like, enough warm. The Thousand gave you your power and now it's time they take it back. My symbiot. Symbiotic link with this Android. Oh, that's good to know.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: There's a big Android there.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's what the metal guy is.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Oh, he has a symbiotic link with him. Oh, okay. Oh, thank you, Exposition.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
[00:14:30] Speaker A: It's good to know. We've learned all about Diamond Face's powers. We don't know his name or anything, but.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, he's.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: He's apparently the head of the 1000. Okay.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: Cobra Commander. That makes sense. And then, you know, Mind Dancers Baroness.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: Got it.
Oh, is Mind Dancer Baroness?
[00:14:49] Speaker B: Well, I mean, he's got a big metal guy, so that's.
[00:14:51] Speaker A: Or is Mind Dancer Destro?
[00:14:52] Speaker B: No, well, I mean, she. Oh, she's.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: She is the one that actually does everything, knows what's going on, and makes things work. And then Cobra Commander takes credit for everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Destro.
I'm just saying. Wow. Wow.
Well, now we know where this is going. Well, Diamond Face guy says my Android proved itself again. Mind Dancer. It's a shame I can't establish my symbiotic rapport over distances. Oh, okay. Does he name. Does she name him?
[00:15:20] Speaker B: No.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: We would not have won today if I hadn't blocked Blackguard's cyberlink with his armor. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, it is Destro. Yeah, well, this woman is still going around at night doing things. Yeah, in a hidden room.
Neither Rose nor her friends are aware of her deep secrets, though. See, I told you I knew who this was. Oh, the hidden obsession. The hidden obsessions. Even Rose herself is not conscious of the havoc she wreaks as Thorn. Ah. You didn't know? Who Rose and Thorne. Oh, this is a famous Metropolis hero villain.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: Who. Who is this Rose, then?
[00:16:04] Speaker A: Well, you'll have to find out or go back and read old action comics.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
[00:16:10] Speaker A: Yeah. People that read old action comics are lame.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: Lame losers. Losers.
[00:16:17] Speaker A: They're.
They're Kirkman's.
[00:16:20] Speaker B: No, they're not Kirkman's.
[00:16:22] Speaker A: They're the lame losers. Yeah.
[00:16:25] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:16:27] Speaker A: Why do we hate this guy so much again? Oh, I mean, lame. Okay, He's a jerk.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: He's Jerkman.
[00:16:32] Speaker A: You were saying something about him not paying his artist?
[00:16:35] Speaker B: No, no, no. He just, like.
No, he paid him. He's cut him out of a bunch of other stuff. The original artist. But, I mean, that's.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: I mean, you can go Google it of Walking Dead. Oh, go look it up. Okay.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Yeah, you can go look, we're not.
[00:16:48] Speaker A: Going to cover it here. We don't want to be sued.
[00:16:49] Speaker B: You can go. You can. You can go.
[00:16:50] Speaker A: We don't want to be sued by somebody with millions of dollars. I mean, we don't bow down to people with threats of millions of dollars. I tell you, we will say whatever we want on this podcast.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: I look at Dan like, what?
[00:17:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a good idea. You can.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: You.
[00:17:06] Speaker A: Yeah, you.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: You go look it up.
[00:17:08] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
Well, everything we say on this podcast is 100% accurate.
I mean, consistently over time.
[00:17:16] Speaker B: Consistently over time, it all kind of rings true. Like the Simpsons.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, everything I say is every. Everything I've messed up about comics is like, if you ever want to take this podcast seriously. Everything I've literally messed up and said Wrong About Comics is on this podcast. That's true.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: And then I hold him to it like his feet over a fire.
[00:17:35] Speaker A: I don't know either.
[00:17:36] Speaker B: I'm like, I got you, Dan. I read it in a book. I took a look and now I know.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: Well, the lies I'm in a liar Today. We're back at the towers here. What are these towers? I can't read that.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: Oh, gosh.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: You should put your glasses on.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: You can't see. I can't read that with my glasses, Riley. Ow.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Towers.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: I don't know, it probably refers to some artist or something that I've forgotten.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Okay, yeah, so, so you got Trixie. She's, she's standing there. Is she in an elevator? Is she at a door?
[00:18:07] Speaker A: I don't know. She's annoyed though.
[00:18:08] Speaker B: She's, she's very, she's having a day where she wants Calon to take her away.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: Well, that's cuz she let that weird red man. Yeah, like American Gladiators tryout guy. Yeah, yeah. Dressed as.
Yeah, well, that was last issue, but in this issue she's ready to go home. And here comes Dirk and Booster. Oh, Butcher's got his cape back.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: Oh, he's got his cape back. He's.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: When does the cape go away for good?
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Next issue.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Well, Booster goes out to one of Metropolis's finest restaurants on a date.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: Oh boy.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: And he's wearing the full uniform and a tux. This is Pure Greg 1998 outfit right here.
[00:18:45] Speaker B: Well, I'd wear like a tux jacket and some other stuff.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: You could have.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: Jinko jeans.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: Well, you could have. You, yeah, you could have, you could have completely worn the.
Oh yeah, Oscar Meyer wienermobile outfit. Driver outfit with a tux jacket and bow tie over it.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I, I, I totally agree that Booster is rocking some good style there.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: Well, also, Booster Gold's out in public wearing the full costume with the mask on and everything. Except everybody actually knows who he is. Yeah, yeah.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: He doesn't need to have the mask on because everybody's seen him without it.
[00:19:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And so. But he's wearing the mask.
[00:19:19] Speaker B: Masking guy.
[00:19:20] Speaker A: Well, we've got the Aristocrats of Metropolis here. They are all aflutter with. And then Booster shows up. We got pictures everywhere.
[00:19:29] Speaker B: He's dating some socialite media social star.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: Except he makes her really mad because she calls him a blockhead.
[00:19:35] Speaker B: Because, well, she says the most accurate.
[00:19:37] Speaker A: Description of Booster Gold we've heard so far in any of the three issues.
[00:19:40] Speaker B: Well, she's like, what are you Wearing.
And he's like, oh, the legs. Super stylish.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Yeah, it's gold. And Booster.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's great.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: Well, we flip the page. We have an advertisement. You thought this is part of the comic, didn't you?
[00:19:56] Speaker B: Secret Origins Revealed, Everybody from the day. What's going on?
[00:20:00] Speaker A: No, this was fun. I love this series. So we got. No, this was the Secret Origin series. I have many, many of these. In the first issue, we got Golden Age Superman, which was cool because they were.
Okay, Kirkland, first issue.
You know, you're totally ruining my vibe here. They're toxic fandom.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: I love myself some Golden Age Superman.
[00:20:24] Speaker A: Well, no, this was cool.
I'm trying to explain. Like, it wasn't cool at all. In fact, it's only losers like Superman. We know that.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: Tell me. Tell me about it, Dan.
[00:20:35] Speaker A: Well, no, I don't. I'm so upset right now. Okay, so in. In the.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Just like Frozen.
[00:20:41] Speaker A: Let it go.
In the crisis. Yes.
They had to get rid of Golden Age Superman.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: What?
[00:20:50] Speaker A: And so they did a whole issue here explaining Golden Age Superman.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: See?
[00:20:56] Speaker A: And in issue two, you got the origin of the Blue Beetle. Oh. Issue three, Captain Marvel.
Issue four, Firestorm. Hot. Looks like issue five, the Crimson Avenger. Oh, and it says here something about the odd numbered issues will retell Origins of DC's Golden Age heroes in chronological order. I see.
And the even numbered issues will retell the secrets behind modern heroes. Okay.
And later on, they would start doing combo issues where you get, like, one Golden Age origin and one Silver Age origin in the issue. Or like, a Legion theme. We've covered a Secret Origins issue that we won't talk about again. But, yeah, that was a mistake. Yeah. But, yeah, it happens. Yeah, mistakes do happen.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: They happen all the time.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: There's such an innocent mistake, too. It happened.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: Well, anyway, it was a mistake. Booster Golf, just like Booster Gold, making a mistake with the lady here out on a date.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, Booster says, hardly, I was born with them.
Or she says she asked him, oh, is it where you get your powers from? He says, hardly, I was born with them. What a liar.
But speaking of powers, I bet you'd like to hear about some of my daring exploits. And she's like, yeah, not really. This date is not going well. And he just keeps going. Her name's Monica, and he keeps telling these stories, and she's falling, literally falling asleep at the table.
Heck, what I do like about Booster Gold.
[00:22:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: Is he is consistently a putz. Yeah. He.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: He's not a smart smart. He's not a. I Mean, I do.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: Like, way later on when they try to, like, make him into the hero of all time and give him some credibility moments.
And then Dan Jurgens tried to give him some credibility in the Justice League too, which is kind of funny because he writes him here like a complete putts.
And then in Justice League, after he takes it over from Giffen into Mattis, tries to make him a badass again. He's like, I stood up to Doomsday and this and that. It's like, yeah, but you originally wrote him as such a moron.
Well, anyway, Booster says he has to leave because his alarm is going off. He's being summoned. And Monica's like, I put up with you all night.
What will I tell the press?
[00:23:18] Speaker B: You'll be fine.
[00:23:20] Speaker A: And she's like, jerk. Now I have to do is the worried woman bit.
And they're like, check, madam. He's like, I hope Luther or whoever fries him.
She's pretty shallow.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: She is, man. She just wanted. She just want a photo ops.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: Well, Booster Gold gets yelled at, Buster, by the senator. So the senator is this Senator Blumenthal. I mean, Senator Ballard.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
[00:23:45] Speaker A: Yeah, pretty much.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Same guy.
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Same guy.
[00:23:48] Speaker B: I'm death.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: And he gets back in here and they have a chat, but he's like, I was wondering if you could. I could persuade you to campaign on my behalf.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:23:59] Speaker A: And he's like, no, I'm in a hurry. I gotta go. And Senator Bloomin Ballard is upset.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: He doesn't. He doesn't like being turned down.
[00:24:07] Speaker A: Well, we get Booster Gold flying out. He's excited to fly out and down. We see Thorne wandering around.
It says, unknown to Booster, the Thorn hears him clearly, and she decides to follow him to the lair of the thousand. Oh. Hoping for another chance at vengeance.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: Vengeance.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Thorn wants some vengeance. Thorn looks up Thorne.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: Want vengeance on the thousand or on Booster?
[00:24:30] Speaker A: On all thousand.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: On all thousand.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: On all 2,000 eyes.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: Oh, gosh.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: So it's a thousand plus one, huh? Times two, minus one, minus two, minus 2,000 plus two. No, wait. Thousand math.
Thousand plus one times two minus two. Carry the one equals 1,000. Where do we carry the one?
[00:24:53] Speaker B: Over your shoulder.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: I see. Yeah.
The one Billy Gun. No, no, no, the one 110.
They.
[00:25:06] Speaker B: They gotta go fight.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: These math jokes are getting me nowhere. Like this is. Well, anyway, enough of the math jokes. We've had enough math today.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: Yes. No. Mellow math.
[00:25:17] Speaker A: Yeah. What if, hypothetically, yes. I didn't start the recording.
[00:25:21] Speaker B: Oh, gosh, that'd be terrible.
[00:25:22] Speaker A: Would you be Upset.
[00:25:24] Speaker B: Are you gonna go check because you're worried now?
[00:25:26] Speaker A: No, I'm not worried. I'm 100% Compton.
The thing I can tell you about this podcast, folks, is it runs with zero, and I mean zero, technical difficulties.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: You're more than welcome to go take a peek.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: It's a hundred percent. All right, well, why don't you tell them about.
Why don't you tell them about going into the layer here of the thousand? Sure.
That as you will recall an issue ago.
[00:25:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:51] Speaker A: We found out with such a super secret layer that nobody knew about it. And Mind Dancer was hiding it from the people in the park and everything.
And all of a sudden we know all about it.
Well, and Skeets is not hurt.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll get there. Yeah, so, like, we got this like, Davy Crockett looking guy that is like the big giant monument. Booster's like, oh, hey, Centennial Park. I wonder if we're here and everything. Good.
[00:26:14] Speaker A: Centennial Park.
[00:26:15] Speaker B: Centennial Park.
[00:26:16] Speaker A: I thought it was Central Park.
[00:26:18] Speaker B: Oh, Centennial. Central Park.
[00:26:20] Speaker A: I think it is Centennial Park.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: It's Centennial.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Didn't they call it Central park on accident?
[00:26:23] Speaker B: No, you call the Central park on accident.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: Oh, it's a sub.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Metropolis is not New York Centennial Park.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: It's Chicago. Wait, because Gotham is New York.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:26:33] Speaker A: That would make Metropolis Chicago.
But then Metropolis looks a lot like New York.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: They all look the same. They're all.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: But the Titans are in New York.
Titans Tower is in the Hudson. Right, right. This is very confusing.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:26:50] Speaker A: Well, if you're. Where's Spider Man?
[00:26:52] Speaker B: Spider Man? He's in New York.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: I see. Where's Daredevil?
[00:26:55] Speaker B: New York.
[00:26:56] Speaker A: I see.
Okay, where? Hell's Kitchen. Where's Green Arrow?
[00:27:02] Speaker B: Green Arrow is in.
[00:27:05] Speaker A: If you don't get this right, I'm gonna be really irritated. This is like the easiest question I've asked you.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: Well, hold on.
[00:27:10] Speaker A: And he could be in one of two places.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: Like, he's in Starling, but Star City. Star City.
[00:27:16] Speaker A: But he's at this time. Where is he at this time?
[00:27:19] Speaker B: He's traveling across the country.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: No. And. Well, I don't know if his series is right. He's in Seattle.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: Oh, he's in Seattle. Oh, yeah, I guess he is in Seattle, but yeah, he's getting in this time.
[00:27:29] Speaker A: Yeah, it's actually not quite there, but, yeah, he actually is not quite in Seattle yet.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: Is he in Seattle or is he in the Northwest?
[00:27:34] Speaker A: No, I think we discussed this because I think Mike Rowe was still doing John Sable at this time, and he wouldn't do Green Arrow for like a.
[00:27:40] Speaker B: And he's not.
[00:27:40] Speaker A: He does a long boat, technically in.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: Seattle or is he just in the woods?
[00:27:44] Speaker A: It depends on when Long Bill Hunters comes out.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: Okay, but he's in the woods.
[00:27:48] Speaker A: No, he's in Seattle. Okay. No, because Dinah has a flower shop in Seattle. Okay.
Yeah. That's how that all happens. Okay. Yeah. So anyway.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I. No, you're right, because I'm. I, I remember my mom liking the Green Arrow. The Green Arrow story, specifically that run because of the Seattle tie.
[00:28:06] Speaker A: Well. And it was, it was brutally violent too.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And she loved the violent comics for some reason, which is great.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: Shooting people with real arrows because there was no trick arrows.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, no, yeah, we get, we get Booster checking out this, this like secret lair door. Skeets is back.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And Thorn's.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Thorn's Chicken.
She's lurking in the back. Gonna get some revenge. Serve cold.
[00:28:31] Speaker A: Well, we get back to Newton, one of Metropolis, one of the more beautiful old neighborhoods of Metropolis. And Trixie is headed home from a date.
[00:28:40] Speaker B: She's heading home from a date?
[00:28:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Eddie.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Oh, Eddie.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And he says, my pleasure, Trixie. How about dinner? My treat.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: Ah.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Oh, they didn't go to dinner.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Oh. Oh.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: Another day just walked her home. What a nice man. Okay.
[00:28:54] Speaker B: He's a nice guy.
[00:28:56] Speaker A: Oh, I guess they work together. Okay.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Maybe in the same building.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: That's possible.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:02] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm sure Eddie is going to be a long term character here.
[00:29:05] Speaker B: Oh, probably.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And probably. We're probably. Probably will be. And we don't.
[00:29:09] Speaker B: He's going to be. He's going to be around.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: Eddie's not the comic book guy. No, that was a different guy. Right.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I think.
[00:29:13] Speaker A: Okay, well. Oh, we meet Aunt May Jean.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: Oh, Aunt Jean May.
[00:29:18] Speaker A: Aunt Jean May.
Now everybody's got to have an aunt.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Yeah, everybody has an aunt.
[00:29:23] Speaker A: And Trixie is very annoyed by the Monica Booster parad.
Her name is Monica Lake.
[00:29:31] Speaker B: Monica Lake, Yeah.
[00:29:34] Speaker A: People, the last name of Lake end up being great for America.
[00:29:39] Speaker B: Like Ricky Lake.
She was fantastic.
[00:29:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, was she.
[00:29:45] Speaker B: I mean, she was great. She was great in the movies and stuff that she did.
[00:29:49] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah.
[00:29:50] Speaker B: Fair talk show.
[00:29:52] Speaker A: Well, meanwhile, beneath Centennial Park, Condition Red. Intruder in D section. And I'm going to be section D in. In dissection.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: In dissection.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: In dissection.
[00:30:01] Speaker B: Director, you're detected.
[00:30:04] Speaker A: Go to the dissection wing.
Intruder. And decision.
[00:30:08] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: Well, Skeets got dissected. He's back together.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Dissection of the Skeets.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Well, anyway, Booster asks each what's going on? Skeets is like, affirmative. After following Blackguard, my nancer here, I've scouted the complex for hours and still don't see it at all. Oh, so Skeets it out. Skeets. A smart man.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: Skeets is smart.
Robot brain.
[00:30:34] Speaker A: Well, a thing pops out of the wall and shoots Booster. Thing? Yeah.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:30:38] Speaker A: Not the thing. Oh, it's like a fire blast.
[00:30:41] Speaker B: Oh, fire blaster.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: So like a torch.
[00:30:43] Speaker B: Torch shoots out of the wall.
[00:30:45] Speaker A: An Inhuman torch.
[00:30:46] Speaker B: An inhuman torch.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: The Inhuman Torch. You know, just.
[00:30:50] Speaker B: Just a big old metal.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: That was the robot from the Golden Age.
[00:30:54] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:30:54] Speaker A: Yeah, it's the Human Inhuman Torch.
[00:30:56] Speaker B: Human Inhuman torch.
[00:30:58] Speaker A: Shouldn't have been called the Human Torch if he was a robot. Robot torch, you know, he was called the Torch, I believe.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: The Torch. Yeah, I see.
[00:31:04] Speaker A: I mean, it could be the Torch. It could be the Flame.
[00:31:07] Speaker B: The Flame.
[00:31:08] Speaker A: There's a lot of things.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: Did he live in dissection?
[00:31:10] Speaker A: I. Maybe.
What if he was just a human Flame?
[00:31:14] Speaker B: The human.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: Okay, well, we're back. Booster looks better than ever. Then a whole bunch of guns come out from a whole bunch of those green thousand people.
And, yeah, they all. They all shoot him at the same time. But bigger seems to be invulnerable because it's the powers he's lived with. He's not wearing his cape.
[00:31:35] Speaker B: Yeah, he's capeless again. Capeless in the Japanese.
[00:31:38] Speaker A: Now, do you prefer Caped Booster or Capeless Booster?
[00:31:41] Speaker B: You know, I don't like the people.
Here's the thing. Some superheroes, dead capes get capes, and some don't need one. Booster doesn't need a key.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: What was a bold choice to go with the high collar and the cape at this?
[00:31:58] Speaker B: High collar and a cape at the same time.
[00:32:00] Speaker A: Whoa, dude, I don't know that you need that.
[00:32:02] Speaker B: That is. That's, like, over.
[00:32:03] Speaker A: If you're going to go high collar and cape, you might as well go full on with that terrible outfit. The Major Disaster war in the 2000s and now.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, if he's going to go high collar in a cape, he needs to have better boots. Like, he's got. He's got like, these snug fitting things. He needs to have something with a cuff.
Yeah, he's a cuff and a buckle.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: Now, do you prefer no cuff and buckle, people? Do you prefer Major Disaster, the reformed supervillain, or do you prefer Major Disaster Justice League Antarctica?
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Justice League Antarctica.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: Yeah, they should have just got rid of that character. No.
Hello.
Well, more we've got.
[00:32:43] Speaker B: Could Booster and him hang out?
What's your take on that?
[00:32:48] Speaker A: Over Under. Well, I think that. No, they did. Remember?
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, but like they had.
[00:32:52] Speaker A: The whole adventure on Kui. What?
[00:32:54] Speaker B: I mean, but could they have more hanging out?
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah, like they showed up at Kui. Kui Ki. Booster, and.
[00:32:59] Speaker B: And then things go sideways.
[00:33:02] Speaker A: Trying to set up the casino.
Yeah, that's already happened. We've already done that.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Do. Is there more hanging out?
[00:33:08] Speaker A: Like a buddy cop movie? Yeah, that's Booster and Blue Beetle.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: No, no, no. Blue Beetle, he's busy with stuff. Here's the idea.
[00:33:14] Speaker A: Blue Beetle is never busy.
[00:33:16] Speaker B: Blue Beetle, he's got business deals you gotta do. He's got things. He's got it.
[00:33:20] Speaker A: He's got. Nah, he's got people for that.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: He's got people for it. But I mean, maybe he's tired. He's gonna take a nap. He's like, hey, you know what? Blue Beetle's got some Blue Beetle stuff he needs to do. He's feeling a little blue.
Booster.
Major disaster.
They go on a spree.
[00:33:38] Speaker A: That's fair. Well, in the meantime, while Greg comes up with this whole story, if that Mr. Gold is defeating the hand.
[00:33:44] Speaker B: Defeating that.
[00:33:45] Speaker A: And I mean the thousand.
[00:33:46] Speaker B: The thousand.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: Yes.
And I mean, he.
[00:33:49] Speaker B: I like. I like what he says.
[00:33:51] Speaker A: I mean, the cobra foot soldiers.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: I like what he says. And can I. Can I.
[00:33:55] Speaker A: Yes. Well, you know, you're not allowed to read things. Only I am.
[00:33:58] Speaker B: I want to read this in the best. And I imagine Booster is sitting here and he's been watching. He's been watching tv.
[00:34:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:06] Speaker B: And he's been watching some of the best TV right now.
[00:34:08] Speaker A: And he says.
[00:34:09] Speaker B: And he says, instead of walking the hallways, let's do the unexpected.
And Skeets is all like, oh, I.
[00:34:19] Speaker A: Thought you said the squacho man was in the woods.
[00:34:23] Speaker B: The Squacho man is. I channel him sometimes. And, and, and how is it that.
[00:34:28] Speaker A: You channel the squacho man? Because you've never been in the room together at the same time.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: It's. It's an easy thing to do, Dan.
I mean, well, like when you have a psychic link.
[00:34:38] Speaker A: A psychic link? Yeah. You know, why don't you summon him here right now if you have a psychic link?
[00:34:43] Speaker B: I could summon him, but he's off in the woods preparing.
[00:34:47] Speaker A: Where is the Squatcher man?
[00:34:48] Speaker B: He's preparing for when the Krampus comes.
[00:34:51] Speaker A: I see.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: On the. Was it on the. The.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: When does the Krampus come.
[00:34:56] Speaker B: Oh, the Krampus comes on Black Friday.
[00:34:58] Speaker A: Do we need to contact the owner of the store to find out when the crap is coming?
[00:35:01] Speaker B: The Krampus comes on Black Friday of. So the.
[00:35:04] Speaker A: The. At the retro emporium, Kent, Washington.
[00:35:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:07] Speaker A: On Meeker street, where you can relive.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Your childhood and you can come and get photos of Krampus and quite possibly that.
[00:35:14] Speaker A: That.
[00:35:14] Speaker B: That squacho man.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: Well, meanwhile, the DC checklist from January 16th of 1986.
[00:35:22] Speaker B: Squatch a man.
[00:35:24] Speaker A: What's going on? Right here? We've got swamp thing number 47. Swamp thing comes face to face with his ancestors.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: Oh, Swamp Thing's got ancestors. Wait, I guess.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: Batman and the outsiders. 32. This is a big one.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:36] Speaker A: Batman quits the Outsiders. Oh, and they will soon become just the outsiders.
[00:35:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Green Lantern 199.
Hal Jordan's personal crisis begins in the aftermath. Did you know Hal Jordan does not appear once in all of Crisis?
[00:35:53] Speaker B: Interesting.
So he has his own crisis.
[00:35:56] Speaker A: Sergeant Rock number 409.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: Man.
[00:36:01] Speaker A: In the confusion of the war, the enemy can turn out to be on your side.
[00:36:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I've read stories, but there is.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: A reason that I've been going through this. Are you ready?
[00:36:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:36:13] Speaker A: Warlord number 104.
[00:36:15] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:36:16] Speaker A: Ron Randall joins as new artist while Morgan's quest continues.
[00:36:22] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
That's a. That's a hot piece right there. That's a.
[00:36:26] Speaker A: That's hot. Hot. Young artist, Ron Randall.
Ron, we love you.
[00:36:32] Speaker B: That is. That's the.
[00:36:33] Speaker A: I want to make it clear we're not poking funny.
I was actually excited when I was reading the book and saw this.
[00:36:37] Speaker B: That is. That is actually pretty amazing for.
[00:36:40] Speaker A: I mean, like, Ron, come to the show.
[00:36:41] Speaker B: Come to the show.
[00:36:43] Speaker A: Like, let's talk trucker. I've read them all.
[00:36:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:46] Speaker A: Except the latest one.
[00:36:47] Speaker B: And. And sitting in my house.
[00:36:49] Speaker A: Sorry, Ron.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: And getting a chance to talk to Ron at shows and. And here and there and stuff like that.
And just seeing this tidbit here in this book is just great. So.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: And drawing a book that was created by my girl. My girl.
[00:37:03] Speaker B: So it's like, wow.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: Blue devil number 23. The crossover continues as the Blue Devil fights Firestorms.
Who's who. Number 14. Yeah. Legion was last. Number 13.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:37:15] Speaker A: Now we have the Luthors.
[00:37:17] Speaker B: Whole family of them.
[00:37:20] Speaker A: No man.
[00:37:22] Speaker B: No Manhunters.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: No man defeats the Manhunters. No man hides from Manhunters. How is it. No man evades. No man hides from. No man defeats Manhunters. No man can stop Martian man, don't you know the Manhunter? Not the Martian Manhunter. The Manhunters.
[00:37:40] Speaker B: Oh, the Manhunter.
[00:37:41] Speaker A: The Manhunters. Like the Green Lantern Manhunters? Like the ones created by the Guardians? No.
[00:37:45] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Well, you haven't played the D.C. card game with me enough. Because when you get the Manhunter card, you have to say the Manhunters.
[00:37:51] Speaker B: Oh, you had to play.
[00:37:52] Speaker A: I make you say it. Oh, okay. Just like, if you. You would love that game.
[00:37:55] Speaker B: Because if you get different things, you have to.
[00:37:57] Speaker A: Oh, I only have a couple. Yeah. If you get entr. You have to rhyme.
Oh, yeah.
All right. Booster Goal number three. We know what's happening here. Infinity Inc. Number 25. Oh, a debate over new members.
That's really all they did in that book, that.
[00:38:11] Speaker B: Oh, we got a new member. I don't know if I like them. Yeah, they might be a bad person.
[00:38:15] Speaker A: And new teen Titans number 19, Nightwing, refuses to follow the team.
Can the group be splitting up? Huh? And literally every issue of the Teen Titans. So.
[00:38:25] Speaker B: Oh, nightly. He's gonna go back to Bloodhaven and do Nightwing things.
[00:38:29] Speaker A: I don't even know if he was in Bloodhaven yet.
[00:38:31] Speaker B: Well, he's going there. He's getting there.
[00:38:34] Speaker A: Well, anyway, Booster Gold is defeating a wall.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: I'm gonna kick this wall so hard, it's gonna have.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: And then. And then.
Because he had a rough date night. A bunch of.
I mean, red balls. Yeah, well, I mean, come after him.
[00:38:52] Speaker B: Dan, your phone.
[00:38:54] Speaker A: Look, I'm gonna let everybody know that if you hear the phone thing go off, there's something wrong since the update on my phone because I flipped the switch during a work event today.
[00:39:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:39:05] Speaker A: And the.
The notification alarm kept going off the entire time, even though the switch was flipped to silent. So you don't know what's happening.
[00:39:14] Speaker B: So Dan roast me when my phone goes off. You know, but when Dan's phone goes.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: Off, there's always a reason. I did not say there was a reason last time. I was.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: How could this.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: You know, because you never turn your phone off. So the. The fundamental difference in the discussion here is that I consciously think about turning the phone off. Do turn it off. And when I don't, I'm sad. You don't even think about it.
[00:39:43] Speaker B: Well, it's you. If you can see the little thing.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: You see the little thing? It's crossed out. Yeah, he can't even get it close enough to camera for you. Nothing's really happening. We see what it is. Anyway. Giant red balls come at Booster it looks like he's doomed. I don't know. If he's not doomed, he heats up and fuses all the red balls into a thing.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: I wish I could do that with dodgeballs too.
[00:40:03] Speaker A: Yeah, if you can't if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
So now we get Meanwhile Trans calling me transporter Kids. I feel like if you have advertisement two pages before that's called Meanwhile.
[00:40:15] Speaker B: Yeah, meanwhile. Oh yeah.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: And then you have a transition for Meanwhile. They, they. You should plan a little bit better though. Shouldn't be.
[00:40:22] Speaker B: Maybe I should have called myself transporter kid.
[00:40:24] Speaker A: Well, it says he's escaped again. Mind answer.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Oh no.
[00:40:28] Speaker A: And Mind answer is going to go take care of Booster goal because my nancers, we've discovered, is the only competent one.
My nancer gets into Booster's gold's head, gives him a bunch of illusions.
[00:40:39] Speaker B: Cool page.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: It is a very cool art page. So good go Dan Jorgens. Yeah, yeah, it's and, and we get some, we get some good dialogue here too.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: Industry.
[00:40:48] Speaker A: There are over 900 men working in the thousands complex. Now what concerns me about the dialogue there.
[00:40:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:58] Speaker A: Is that just mean like a hundred of them are on lunch.
[00:41:01] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean if there's. There's 9,000 or if there's over 900.
[00:41:04] Speaker A: Like there's like 993 and. But then seven are on paternity leave.
[00:41:10] Speaker B: Some of them had to take pto, Dan. Maybe one was sick.
[00:41:13] Speaker A: Well, we've only seen besides Mind Answer, we've only seen men. So I'm turning. I'm assuming the thousand has amazing insurance. A really good people experience team. Like a paternity leader. They were ahead of their time in 1985 and, and, and 86.
[00:41:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean that's, that's probably, you.
[00:41:31] Speaker A: Know, you probably ahead of their time.
[00:41:33] Speaker B: They, they said nine, 900 men over 900 men. And you're probably right. There probably is a mixture.
[00:41:40] Speaker A: And I bet Ronald Reagan made fun of the thousand for having paternity leave.
[00:41:45] Speaker B: Well, and they brought well, but that paternity leave was for the women that were part of the thousand.
[00:41:51] Speaker A: By the way. Watch how I set up that Ronald Reagan reference, folks. That'll never come back.
Ever.
Never come back in these issues. Not at all. Uncle Ronnie will not appear at all.
Watch it. See how I just cleverly drop hints about the future from dissector.
From disector.
[00:42:12] Speaker B: Dissect.
You dissected it.
[00:42:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I dissected everything.
[00:42:17] Speaker B: Brain bolt.
[00:42:18] Speaker A: Well, anyway, pretty much Booster gets like he gets mind Answer Kicks Booster's ass.
[00:42:25] Speaker B: Multiple times in his brain, which, I mean, Dan has said numerous times before.
[00:42:30] Speaker A: It's not too hard, because the Booster Gold.
Yeah. Well, in here, in America's Utopia, Suburbia. Oh, wow. This guy wakes up to a phone call and it's 3am so he must be lonely. I'm.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: And it's always 3am Whenever. Whenever something happens, it's always 3.
[00:42:52] Speaker A: There's a theme here, man. Everything happens at 3.
[00:42:55] Speaker B: Everything. Nothing good happens, even in suburbia.
[00:42:58] Speaker A: Oh, that's because this other person in New York. Oh, it's Senator Ballard. What? He's got a snaky cane.
[00:43:03] Speaker B: Oh, a snaky cane.
[00:43:04] Speaker A: And it says, the time has come for us.
[00:43:07] Speaker B: Snakey cane.
[00:43:08] Speaker A: What's he gonna do with that snake right next to his pocket.
[00:43:11] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:43:11] Speaker A: Snake in his pockets next to it. Oh, outside. Outside, look. Oh, boy.
Well, I mean, it's his building. It is on the top floor. He's got windows everywhere. He's an exhibitionist.
[00:43:23] Speaker B: He's on the phone with this dude.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: And the time has come for us to move against Booster Gold. And Gold star.
[00:43:29] Speaker B: Oh. Oh.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: You and your team should see to it this morning. Yes, sir.
All right.
[00:43:37] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:43:38] Speaker A: We're going to get him. Well, the Thousand Complex. He's like, h. Where am I?
And my dancer's like, you're awake. Amazing.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: Oh, shark. Shark woman.
[00:43:47] Speaker A: My costume still sucks.
[00:43:49] Speaker B: Her costume is pretty cool.
[00:43:51] Speaker A: No, it is not. It is terrible.
[00:43:53] Speaker B: Her boots are interesting.
[00:43:54] Speaker A: They're made for. She's got fins.
[00:43:57] Speaker B: She's got weird elbow things. Yeah, I'm just telling you, she's like a shark.
[00:44:01] Speaker A: The physics of this costume, it doesn't make sense.
[00:44:03] Speaker B: But yet it's alluring.
[00:44:05] Speaker A: Also, the hair makes no sense with the costume at all.
[00:44:07] Speaker B: Well, I mean, what is she supposed to do, pull it back?
[00:44:10] Speaker A: No, it's like the bright red hair against the teal and purple is just weird.
[00:44:16] Speaker B: It just sticks out like a foreign.
[00:44:17] Speaker A: Yeah, no, like a rose.
[00:44:19] Speaker B: Like a rose. Okay, got it.
[00:44:21] Speaker A: Thorns are more subtle.
[00:44:22] Speaker B: You can see her whole face in this one. It's not like a. Like a weird.
[00:44:26] Speaker A: Sure, we got weird. Weird.
[00:44:28] Speaker B: You get.
[00:44:28] Speaker A: You get Spidey eyes.
[00:44:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:31] Speaker A: And we get Spidey eyes. Yeah.
Well, anyway, I'm completely immobilized in the stasis cube.
[00:44:39] Speaker B: Oh, gosh.
[00:44:39] Speaker A: Poor skits and diamond guys on the screen. He's like, indeed it is my dancer. I can assume you will proceed with the next step.
As you can see, his name is Director. Apparently Director, not Commander.
[00:44:52] Speaker B: Commanders.
[00:44:53] Speaker A: No.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: It's Cobra Director.
[00:44:55] Speaker B: Cobra Director.
[00:44:56] Speaker A: It's dirty. Direct. He's.
[00:44:57] Speaker B: Well, he hasn't gotten to the point yet. I mean, it's disastrous, Director. Well, they have to do.
They're doing all this before they get Diamondback.
[00:45:06] Speaker A: That was her name. Oh, yes.
[00:45:07] Speaker B: Diamondback. Yeah, they have to. Yes, Diamondback.
[00:45:09] Speaker A: They have to set Captain America flashback. My bad. Sorry.
[00:45:13] Speaker B: They have to set up the MLM before they can move forward with Cobra, you know, so there he's. He's. He's setting all his pieces up.
[00:45:21] Speaker A: Piece.
[00:45:22] Speaker B: He's got his talent.
[00:45:24] Speaker A: Okay, so he started out, he recruited 10.
[00:45:27] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:45:28] Speaker A: And then those 10, and then there was 100. And then 100 all recruited 10,000.
[00:45:38] Speaker B: And then you got a thousand and.
[00:45:39] Speaker A: You got a thousand.
[00:45:40] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[00:45:40] Speaker A: And then those thousand are going to recruit ten.
[00:45:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:44] Speaker A: And then it's going to be the one ten. The ten thousand. The one ten. The ten thousand.
Now the one million. The ten top. The one million.
[00:45:52] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:45:53] Speaker A: Ten times ten.
Not ten times ten. No, wait, ten thousand. Ten thousand times ten is only one more zero.
[00:46:00] Speaker B: Okay, so ten thousand. One hundred thousand.
[00:46:02] Speaker A: And then it'd be the hundred thousand.
[00:46:03] Speaker B: Okay. Okay.
[00:46:04] Speaker A: And then it'd be the million.
[00:46:05] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. So we're building up with the mlm, and he's like.
[00:46:09] Speaker A: And.
[00:46:09] Speaker B: And he's got Mindancer in there. And Mindancer's like, hey, boss girl or boss lady? Boss babe.
[00:46:16] Speaker A: And the important thing is you want.
[00:46:17] Speaker B: To be your own boss.
[00:46:18] Speaker A: The important thing is this entire complex was developed because they needed someplace to store all of the toilet paper and vanilla that they bought. Oh, yeah, yeah. And tapioca pudding.
[00:46:28] Speaker B: Well, yeah, they had all that. But, I mean, you know, really, what. What it comes down to is they're trying to sell all those, like, ammonia, those oils and stuff.
[00:46:37] Speaker A: Well, among this. We have a very futuristic setup looking here. We've got a giant death laser. It is a giant death laser. I mean, this. It is very clear.
Like, okay, Dan, I appreciate you, Mr. Jurgens, but this is a page right out of a Legion of Superheroes comic you were drawing.
[00:46:54] Speaker B: It is. It really is.
[00:46:56] Speaker A: He just, like, lifted this background right from a Legion comic he was doing, and it was like.
[00:47:00] Speaker B: And put it.
[00:47:00] Speaker A: I'm just gonna throw this right in the layer of the thousand right here.
[00:47:03] Speaker B: And he's like, oh, I really like.
[00:47:05] Speaker A: I like this page. I'm keeping it.
[00:47:07] Speaker B: I like. Oh, I like this page. But I like the concept of. And they all agreed that they really like the concept of, like, of 007.
Man with a like Goldfinger. And they're like, oh, yeah, let's just. Let's. Let's just, like, burn him with a laser.
[00:47:23] Speaker A: Yeah, well, and mind answer, of course, is she says, of course. The computers have determined that Booster Gold is not invulnerable, but instead uses a force field.
[00:47:30] Speaker B: Oh. Oh.
[00:47:31] Speaker A: Remarkably similar to Brainiac's famous impenetrable.
I wonder where he got a flight ring. In a force field made by a Brainian.
[00:47:39] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:47:41] Speaker A: We've managed to nullify it. Now our solar drill can take care of both Booster Gold and Blackguard forever.
But there's no laughing because this is Destro.
[00:47:51] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
[00:47:54] Speaker A: The laughing comes from a screen.
[00:47:57] Speaker B: It does.
[00:47:58] Speaker A: How will Booster and Skeets get out of this one? Be here next issue four.
Crash.
[00:48:04] Speaker B: Oh, man, he's gonna crash out, everybody. Well, Booster is gonna crash out. If you think about any superhero that's out there that's gonna crash out, definitely gonna be Booster Gold now. Followed by Blue Beetle.
[00:48:15] Speaker A: Hey, don't forget. Don't forget our name. The Letter Column Contest.

[00:50:17] Speaker A: Oh, that's the joke. Sorry. Well, give me a run over the jokes like normal. This is a normal podcast for us, Dan. Running over the joke. Well, what we should run into is we've. We've done plenty of advertisements for the Retro Emporium, but we haven't advertised Absolute Zero's Camp Launch Pad. That's a book about like little space.
[00:50:33] Speaker B: A bunch of kids that go to. A bunch of kids go to Space Camp. And who wants to read about that? During the winter months, everybody.
You can get ready for summertime.
[00:50:42] Speaker A: Especially after the stupid ass time change. That has messed up everything.
[00:50:46] Speaker B: That's why I'm so tired, everybody.
