Episode Transcript
[00:00:05] Speaker A: Greg.
[00:00:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:07] Speaker A: So things have taken a turn.
[00:00:09] Speaker B: They have taken a turn.
[00:00:12] Speaker A: Yes.
So I don't know if you're gonna fess up about the squasho man this week.
I mean, because my mom.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Your mom.
[00:00:22] Speaker A: My mom, yeah. Has asked what happened to the guy who had his poster on the wall.
[00:00:28] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
[00:00:32] Speaker A: Yeah, And I informed her that I have no inside information. She was trying to get inside information.
I said I had none. I said, only you know the truth of the Squatcher man saga.
You misled us. You've lost the trust of the listeners.
You have failed to disclose proper wages in regards to the Squatch a man. You have failed to pay the Squatch A man. You put the squacho man on unnecessary and improper leave.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: What are you talking about?
[00:01:01] Speaker A: You then claimed you were kidnapped by the squacho man, and then you said you weren't.
You sent out a video implying that you were.
You were kidnapped by the squacho man in a dark room.
[00:01:12] Speaker B: I. I never said the squacho man checked me. I just said I was in a. In a place I didn't know where I was at.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Uh huh. Yeah. You imply. Strongly implied.
[00:01:22] Speaker B: I. There was no. There's no. I. I did not imply anything about the squacho man. We don't talk about the squacho man's wages because. Well, he does not want to discuss that.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: So in. That is not for you to say. In Washington state, you can freely talk about your wages.
[00:01:41] Speaker B: I know, but I mean, he is a private.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: You know how you would know that?
[00:01:45] Speaker B: How?
[00:01:47] Speaker A: If you consulted Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul. Oh.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: He would tell you all about that.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Well, then maybe the squatter man might give Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul a call. But as it is, he will.
[00:02:02] Speaker A: He will give Jiu Jitsu layer Paul a call. Is that true?
Do you know how to call Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul?
[00:02:09] Speaker B: I. I don't know. You better. You better throw it out there so the squacho man can. If he's listening, he can. He can get the number.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Well, if he was listening, and I hope he is, because I hope you did no harm to him. He could call Jiu Jitsu Lawyer Paul at 253-656-4475.
All right. And did you know Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul is licensed in both Washington state and California?
[00:02:36] Speaker B: That is good to know. If the Squatcher man is in California right now, then he can. He can give Paul a call and they can talk.
[00:02:46] Speaker A: Well, hopefully he found a better, you know, more fair and Equitable employer than the Retro Emporium.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: I, I, I have it on. I, I, I, I, I've heard that the Squacher man might be coming to hang out at the, the Green Jelly concert. So.
[00:03:04] Speaker A: What are you talking about? What is, Is that the slime in the DD campaign on the ceiling that you're referring to? Is this what's happening?
[00:03:12] Speaker B: The Retro Emporium?
[00:03:13] Speaker A: And that's, and that's having a concert. So like, if you walk into a room and then you forget to look up and you have a DM named
[00:03:22] Speaker B: Steve, is it Steve or is it Steve with a B?
[00:03:26] Speaker A: I know it's Steve.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: Oh, I thought it was Steve. I thought it was Steve with a B.
[00:03:31] Speaker A: No, it's not Steve with a. Just stop. No. Slime falls all over you and you have to fight it and it's gross.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: No.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: Is that what you're talking?
[00:03:42] Speaker B: No, I'm talking about.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: And that's, and that's now playing a concert. So it comes off the ceiling and it's doing a jam band session.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's doing the jam band session.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: Playing the same songs as those people in Sinners.
No, not the people in the club. The people outside the club.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: That is not. That is not what is happening.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: I see.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: No, no, no. That is not what is happening.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: Oh, wait. Oh, wait. So, okay, hang on. You're going to have a concert, but you're going to tell all those people that they can't come in because if they come in, they'll turn into vampires and they'll eat you?
[00:04:15] Speaker B: No, that's not what's happening either. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:04:21] Speaker A: That's what I thought was happening.
[00:04:23] Speaker B: No,
[00:04:25] Speaker A: well, what is happening.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: What is happening is if you're familiar with the, the trying to pull the flyer.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: If I'm familiar.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: If you're familiar.
Ah, that is not it either. Curses. We have so much green jelly and Green jello post. Oh, here it is.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: What are you talking about? This Green Jello. That's the stuff you get in the hospital.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: Well, Dan,
[00:04:50] Speaker A: maybe you need some right now.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: I know.
Um, so if you're familiar with the, the band from the 80s and the 90s, Green Jello, who had to change their name to Green Jelly.
Litigious reasons. Paul could talk about that, I'm sure.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: See? Did they, did they, they violate a trademark or something?
[00:05:10] Speaker B: The word Jello apparently is his trademark, you know, so all Jello is, is.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Well, I mean, Jello is also associated with a, with basically a sexual predator. So I don't Know if you want to be called that anyway.
[00:05:26] Speaker B: Well, that's Pudding Pops. Slightly similar, but a little different.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: They're called Jello
[00:05:35] Speaker B: Pudding Pops.
[00:05:37] Speaker A: Yes. But anyways, it's kind of like being Subway.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: Oh my goodness.
Geez, Dan.
[00:05:43] Speaker A: Well, I'm just. Everything wouldn't slide.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:05:46] Speaker A: So maybe they don't have that name anymore. It's.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: Well then it's good. They were smart. They were smart to change their name then in the mid-90s to green J.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: They knew.
[00:05:56] Speaker B: They knew.
[00:05:56] Speaker A: They, they. They had a bad. Because they watched one episode of Fat Albert and were like, this is creepy. As.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: Oh yeah. I mean, a bunch of kids live in a junkyard or you know, going to hang out in the junkyard. Just. I mean, how do you play a heater? Vent. A heater like an accordion. I don't know.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: I don't know. But why do you walk around with a bunch of little kids going, I that's.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: I mean, that's true. Do you go see. Yeah. Anyways, so Green Jelly is, is coming back to Seattle. We.
[00:06:28] Speaker A: We.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: We had them.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: Seattle?
[00:06:30] Speaker B: Yes, we had them. We had them at the Retro Emporium in Kent a year ago for a signing and. And did.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: That's not Seattle.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: I know, but they want to do a show and our store is too small, so.
[00:06:47] Speaker A: And your store is too small for a show. That's true.
[00:06:50] Speaker B: When. When, when you and I were in Las Vegas and decided to reach out to a venue in Seattle and see if it would be possible to have them host a show for Green Jelly with us.
And Thursday, March 19, green jelly will be performing at Lucky Liquor.
[00:07:15] Speaker A: What is Lucky Liquor?
[00:07:16] Speaker B: Lucky Liquor. It's a.
It's a venue.

[00:07:37] Speaker A: Well, where is the venue located?
[00:07:38] Speaker B: Where is the venue located? It is East Marginal Way. So South Tukwila. South Seattle.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: Oh wait, it's in. Wait, it's in the town that has a song all about it.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:54] Speaker A: Aquila.

Yeah. Yes, yes.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: But Green Jelly, for those who are not informed. Are they. They're the band that did the Three Little Pig song from the 90s and also the Bear Went over the Mountain as well as a few other great songs.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: So the bear went over the mountain
[00:08:20] Speaker B: to see what he could see.
Over the mountain to see what he could see. The bear went over the.
[00:08:27] Speaker A: Oh. So wait, what day does this thing happen?
[00:08:29] Speaker B: It happens on. On Thursday, March 19th, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm you can go to the March 19th. Yeah, I know.
[00:08:37] Speaker A: That's only going to be like a few days after this podcast comes out.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: I know. So people that are listening, like this
[00:08:43] Speaker A: podcast comes out on the 15th or the 14th, depending on my mood, and this will come out on the 19th. Yeah.
So this should have like massive advertising. Way better us going to one listener.
[00:08:56] Speaker B: I know it has been having massive advertising, but I figured I'd talk about it right now on the show.
[00:09:03] Speaker A: Well, do I get to come?
[00:09:05] Speaker B: You can talk to Anne, the boss
[00:09:07] Speaker A: lady I seen,
[00:09:12] Speaker B: but yeah, you can.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: So you have no approval in this.
I.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Again, I. I'm not the boss.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: This. Do you know why? And do you know why? Because of the way you treat the squacho man and would never let you touch this concert. And an is a good representative of the store. I'm starting to see what's going on.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: Good gracious.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: Where can they find out more information?

[00:10:34] Speaker B: Oh, they're all. They're all. They're better than mid.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: Okay, so they're all better than mid.
[00:10:42] Speaker B: They're all better than mid.
[00:10:43] Speaker A: So like Booster Gold's haircut mid or better?

Okay, that's Booster Gold's original haircut
[00:10:54] Speaker B: Better.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: Jiu Jitsu Lawyer Paul's haircut better.
Wow. Okay.
All right.
So don't die on us here. I'm trying. I can't believe. Well, it's. I mean, it's important.
It's Important that you get all of this information out. And I don't know what would be distracting you from getting this information out. Clear. It's. It could be.
[00:11:20] Speaker B: It could be Dan.
[00:11:21] Speaker A: It could be Dan.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: I know. I know. Right now I'm looking at the page. We got 80 interested, 24 going, and you can go to.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Well, how big is the venue?
[00:11:32] Speaker B: How big is the venue? That's a great question.
I think the venue holds. I.
I don't know, honestly.
[00:11:41] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's. That's a good. Sorry, I didn't. I. That actually wasn't meant to derail you. That was actually. See. See what happens when I ask a proper question?
[00:11:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: And so what? We don't have to worry about the venue size.
[00:11:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: It's just. You need to get your tickets now.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Get your tickets now.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: If you want to see a.
You can, I guess. What. How would you classify Green Jelly as a band?
[00:12:05] Speaker B: I would classify them as. They're a.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: They're guar ternative.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: Guar ternative. If you would.
They're much. They're.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: They're.
[00:12:14] Speaker B: They're punk. They're guar. Like, they. They definitely bring in a fun carnival type vibe. There's going to be a pool noodle party in which people will be wailing around pool noodles and such.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: You hit people with the pool noodles?
[00:12:35] Speaker B: No, no, you just wave them around and have a good time.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: I mean, I was super excited for a minute.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: There might be. There might be a little bit of that.
[00:12:42] Speaker A: But there's puppet show there.
[00:12:45] Speaker B: He would be. He'd be capitalizing on this. He'd be like, oh, the merch. You got to get more merch. But that's the great thing is they do have a lot of cool merch and other stuff like that. I will tell you this. Tickets are $20 in advance or 25 at the door.
So there you go.
[00:13:03] Speaker A: Okay. What was the venue again?
[00:13:05] Speaker B: The venue is Lucky Liquor.
[00:13:07] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:08] Speaker A: Like liquor like the drink.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: Like liquor, like the drink. Yes.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: Okay. I just want to make sure you spell that right, because if you don't.
[00:13:15] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:15] Speaker A: You might run across Alex Reigns. Oh, favorite things.
[00:13:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: That's true. Be careful there.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: That. You don't want that. No, you don't.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: No.
Be careful with your searching.
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, we're here to protect you. The next time.
[00:13:33] Speaker A: The.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: The next. The next show they're going to be at is in Yakima. So you don't want to go. You want to catch them here. If you're in the area. Unless you're in Yakima.
[00:13:41] Speaker A: You want to catch them all?
[00:13:42] Speaker B: You want to catch them all? So, you know.
So, yeah.
Oh, my God.
[00:13:51] Speaker A: I'm dying.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: I'm dying.
[00:13:53] Speaker A: Stop dying. Okay.
Stop dying, Greg.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: I can't help it. I'm dying. Just like Booster Gold is on the
[00:14:02] Speaker A: COVID Wow, that's insensitive.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: I mean, he's.
He might get murdered.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: He's not dying. Booster Gold is immortal.
[00:14:12] Speaker B: I don't think he's immortal. I think he's. He's.
He's. He's human, just like all of us.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: Well, the. The important thing is I disappointed listener Jason today by informing him that I did not continue to read the GI Joe that Joshua Williamson was writing. Oh. However, I did read all the DC stuff Joshua Williamson writes, so. And in my defense, I'm sorry.
We should talk about this comic book, though.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: But if you want to come to see Green Jelly.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:39] Speaker A: Let us know.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:41] Speaker A: And we'll show you how to get tickets. You can reach out to Greg or I, or you could just go to the Retro Emporium page, and you will have a jolly old time. That. Is that how you describe it?
[00:14:53] Speaker B: You'd have a jelly old time.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Oh, a jelly old time.
[00:14:56] Speaker B: You have a jelly old time.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: We're going.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:59] Speaker A: If I go, I will not be wearing the sweater.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: You should safely say that he should.
[00:15:06] Speaker B: Should dress comfortably.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: Could wear this hat, though.
Well, Booster Gold, number 18, before Greg dies of a cough, we've got a cover.
And cover. So I just want to share that it was clear that DC was so sad about the inking from last time, from issue 17, that number one, they hired Jerry Ordway to ink Dan Jurgens on this cover.
[00:15:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: So instantly you're looking at this, and you're like, this looks cool.
[00:15:42] Speaker B: This does look cool. It's a great. It's a great cover.
[00:15:47] Speaker A: And it says, killer from the future. Hero with the past in real life. And then, you know, in the little box down in the corner where it's usually advertising things like the history of the DC universe and stuff, they let you know immediately that this is by Dan Jurgens and Mike DeCarlo right off the bat. Yeah.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: They.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: They immediately let you know that indeed, this is not the art pair from last time.
[00:16:11] Speaker B: No. No, it's not.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Also, there is something that really irritates me.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: What's that?
[00:16:17] Speaker A: And I didn't realize took me cover, like, it took me 16 or 17 covers to realize this.
The X and the R in Booster Gold. I Hate that.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: There's an X in the R.
Yeah,
[00:16:31] Speaker A: look at the R. There's an X in the box.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Oh, interesting.
[00:16:35] Speaker A: And I was like, is that a weird error or something?
No, it's been there the whole time.
[00:16:40] Speaker B: There's X's in the B's too.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: There is.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Oh, it's gonna bother you so much. And then you look at the D.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: It doesn't bother me. It's bothered me since I've noticed it.
[00:16:49] Speaker B: And then you look at the D and the O's.
[00:16:51] Speaker A: D doesn't bother bother me.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: And there's diamonds.
[00:16:54] Speaker A: D doesn't bother me. But the X's.
[00:16:56] Speaker B: Do the X's bother you?
Well, yeah, of course.
[00:17:01] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we jump right into this after 17 minutes of talking.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
17 minutes of talking. It's not even like we. I mean, we talked about a lot of good stuff. We didn't even talk about Dan's baseball game.
[00:17:17] Speaker A: We're not going to talk about.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: We're not gonna talk.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Look, if you want to independently support out of the park baseball 27, you can go support that. They have been putting out this game for years.
So if you are a baseball sim fan, go support this. That's all I'm going to say about this from now on. But out of the park baseball, I can't say enough good things about them.
[00:17:38] Speaker B: We're going to lose Dan in all spare time.
[00:17:43] Speaker A: Yeah, well, so we immediately get anatomy back on the first page.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: Oh, wow. Hey, Booster Gold half naked again.
[00:17:54] Speaker A: Like, I'm not in love with these faces as. But they are symmetrical. Yeah, and the body is now symmetrical.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: And did you call him, by the way, Booster the Body Gold. Booster the Body Ventura? Yes.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: Booster the Body Gold.
[00:18:19] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: I mean, it fits, right?
Oh, God, you cursed me again.
Oh, you did curse me. And then I coughed. H cursed House in the fan housing over there.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: Like Danhausen returning to wrestling is probably the only thing interesting about wrestling right now.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: It is him cursing everybody is the best, right?
[00:18:51] Speaker A: Like, AEW is doing whatever AEW does, apparently putting on good matches that nobody cares about whatsoever.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: I mean, Peacock. Gotta love Peacock.
[00:19:02] Speaker A: Oh, well, that's on Roh. That's not even. And he's actually. I do.
I do love Dalton Castle. Except for the fact that I just. Every time I look at him with his shorts hiked up like that and like is having to wear the back brace and, you know, the weight gain.
It's not the weight gain. He's still. He's still a well proportioned built human being. Yeah. But I just know his back is so messed up. It just makes me sad, honestly.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:27] Speaker A: Enough about Dalton Castle, though. I don't want to be sad. It's just there was somebody with a really promising career and then just messed up their back. And I know you can empathize with that, obviously.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: Just to see him out there, though, doing what he does is like knowing how much that's got a.
That's a lot of work.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Yes.
And.
But. And wwe, you know, besides everything that's wrong with their company and who they support, has now put in the main events at WrestleMania.
The very exciting and refreshed combinations of. In the main event of.
Let's see, we have Roman Reigns vs CM Punk bringing in the youth movement there.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Hey, I mean, who doesn't want to watch?
[00:20:22] Speaker A: And the other one of Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton again bringing in the youth movement here. We've. We've really.
They've got a whole roster of people that can do things that they've been promoting.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: And they exclude them all from the main events at WrestleMania. Congratulations.
Dan Howen is a refreshing light in a sea of darkness.
He's very evil.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: He's very, very nice.
[00:20:58] Speaker B: So evil.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: On Jim Cornett's podcast, he suggested that they. They suggested. Actually, I think it was Brian last, the co host, suggested that Dan Hous and replace Foui when he retires.
[00:21:11] Speaker B: Oh, that'd be. See, I mean, well, and there's. He does.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: He.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: He had.
[00:21:15] Speaker A: He.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: I mean, it's. His whole.
His whole Persona is very much a homage to the Svengoolie.
[00:21:22] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:21:22] Speaker B: You know, that's. Oh, yeah, it's. It's so great. It's. I had to explain it to Anne.
She wanted to understand, like, she's like, why does this guy look like the guy on the lunchbox?
And I'm like, Spanguli. Oh,
[00:21:38] Speaker A: did you tell Ann that he trademarked his face paint? Face paint?
[00:21:43] Speaker B: It did not.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: Are. You are not trademarked, is it? Well, anyway, I should know this. I'm learning this. But anyway, he's. He's. Yeah. It's trademarked, right? Yeah. He is the only person allowed to do his own face paint.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like a clown.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: In fact, Sting did not know you could do that until he did it and then Sting did it afterwards.
So. Sting did not have his own face paint protected.
[00:22:07] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: Anybody could have just painted themselves like Sting.
[00:22:10] Speaker B: So. And, and, and I've seen people that have.
[00:22:14] Speaker A: And so we have a booster Gold here, though.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:22:18] Speaker A: Who is both symmetrical.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Symmetrical and asymmetrical at the same time.
[00:22:23] Speaker A: I would say maybe we blame this on Dan Jurgens. The pencils are a little washed out.
Is that fair?
[00:22:29] Speaker B: Yeah, a little.
[00:22:31] Speaker A: But the inking here is back on point, and. Yeah, I think. I think we're going to have a.
I think we're gonna have a comic of happiness here.
[00:22:41] Speaker B: Yeah, a comic of happiness. A happy comic. Yeah.
[00:22:45] Speaker A: Well, we've got a whole page of Skeets being a drill instructor here, yelling at Booster, telling him in his 9000 abs to get back in shape.
This says that he's 2.7 pounds heavier and has 12.6% body fat. That is impossible based on this figure.
I'm just telling you that is not 12.6 body fat. That is like 5 to 6% body fat if you're showing those abs right there.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: Oh, he's carrying it in his butt.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: Well, that's what I was about to say. Let's take a look at the ass. It is less pronounced than it was last issue. Yeah, so?
[00:23:22] Speaker B: So, I mean, it's. It all. He can't. He can't work everything out at the same time, so.
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Well, Booster bounces out of this, and he meets up with Jack and Dirk, and Jack brings in a new robot toy.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:23:40] Speaker A: Seymour.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: Seymour.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: Now, do you think Suddenly Seymour.
[00:23:45] Speaker B: Suddenly Seymour. Yeah.
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Or is this
[00:23:52] Speaker B: Seymour?
[00:23:55] Speaker A: Do you think he's hungry
[00:23:58] Speaker B: from the ocean?
[00:24:02] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:24:02] Speaker B: Oh, I thought you were talking about that Seymour.
[00:24:06] Speaker A: No.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: Oh, Little Shop.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: Well, yeah, I know. Yes, I know Seymour, but I thought
[00:24:12] Speaker A: you were talking from space.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: No, I know. There's also Seymour the Sea Monster.
[00:24:17] Speaker A: No, I was talking about Seymour the Plant.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: I know you. You said Suddenly Seymour, and then I thought you said. Or could it be the other Seymour? And I thought you were talking.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Well, that's my bad. Sorry for the confusion. You know, what if Seymour the Sea Monster wants to join in? It does deal with a pool here.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: It does. Right.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: Well, Jack is fighting.
Jack is using a Atari joystick.
[00:24:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:43] Speaker A: Painted red. To control Seymour and have him fight with Booster.
And we get one of those da, da, da, da, da, da Moments. But it lasts several pages.
We do find on page two, though, that the writer and creator is Dan Jurgens.
The anchor is Mike DeCarlo. Mike, thank you.
Letter is John Costanza, colorist Dean D', Angelo, and editor Barbara Randall S.L. keel.
How are you feeling, by the way? Would you like.
Would you like the decarlo Jurgens combination to stay together?
[00:25:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I would.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: What if. If they could have just had this to the end? Of the series. Would you have been okay with that?
[00:25:24] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:26] Speaker A: I don't think it's perfect. I do think he washes out Jurgen's pencils a little bit.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: I think it's. I mean, but it's. It's. It's nice. It's better than some of the other stuff.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: I know when they, like.
I, I, I know Legion fans have complained about DeCarlo's work over Greg Laroque and said he was just. His penciling is too, Too dark or his inking. Sorry.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Lines are too dark.
[00:25:56] Speaker A: I don't. I know. Maybe we get a little bit of that on page four. I don't get it here. Do you Maybe with, like, the pool?
Like the water? Yeah.
Like, could you tell that was water if it wasn't colored blue?
[00:26:12] Speaker B: No.
[00:26:16] Speaker A: So maybe. Maybe that's what people are talking about. I don't know. I like this. Yeah. Anyway, we get a whole. Basically, we get a whole couple of pages of Booster fighting Seymour.
Seymour goes crazy and starts attacking everybody.
I could go through all the dialogue, but there's a lot of dialogue. It's a lot.
That's one thing I will say. Since Barbara took over editing, there's a lot more dialogue.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: I mean, that could just be her style or maybe a little bit of fighting between creators. I don't know for sure on that, but it is a little bit more.
It's a lot. Yeah.
We flip the page and we get an advertisement for who knows what evil lurks.
[00:27:10] Speaker B: Who knows.
[00:27:11] Speaker A: That's.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: That's a really cool. I, I'd be like. If I saw this advertisement for the shadow, I'd be like, oh, let's go check this out, this new shadow.
[00:27:20] Speaker A: So what you're saying is Bill Sinkowicz is a. Was a good artist?
[00:27:24] Speaker B: Just a little. Yeah.
[00:27:27] Speaker A: Okay. I'm just checking in. Yeah.
Are you sure?
[00:27:31] Speaker B: You know, I mean, it would, it would. It would spark my interest.
[00:27:39] Speaker A: Next page, more Booster fighting. He's now up on the robot's head.
He's trying to put.
I will have to either ask listener Kiahi or Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul to see how the rear neck of choke is going here.
I'm not sure that's the best strategy for a robot, though. And Booster decides that about mid page.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:03] Speaker A: And he decides to go after the hydraulics.
[00:28:06] Speaker B: He's like, ah, forget it. I mean, he tears off his head and then goes after the hydraulics, and
[00:28:12] Speaker A: we get a spurt, zork noise.
[00:28:18] Speaker B: And then.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: And we get our comedy relief as the robot falls Backwards into the pool after destroying a one of a kind mural.
And Jack is running away, away, away, away, away.
And then we get some sadness. This guy on the next page look familiar to you?
[00:28:44] Speaker B: And it does. But I'm not sure where I've seen him.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: Oh, he sure looks like the police captain from the future to me.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Oh, I.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: He.
[00:28:52] Speaker B: I thought he was. He was from the past, but he's from the future and he's now in the past.
That guy again.
[00:28:58] Speaker A: You can tell by those eyes.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Both eyes burning like lasers.
[00:29:05] Speaker A: He's not too fond of the 1980s.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: No.
[00:29:09] Speaker A: He says people in this era actually consume meat and other foods that aren't cooked.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: Oh, my.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: Developed by chemicals. I think he's attacking Twinkies. And pretty much everything you eat is gluten free.
The internal combustion engine.
And he attacks factories.
He's not. He attacks the water.
[00:29:31] Speaker B: The use of water. So, so freely.
[00:29:35] Speaker A: He says the politics of world conflict are a practice like a tribal dance of machismo. Not wrong.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: Not wrong.
[00:29:42] Speaker A: Still not wrong.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: No.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: My phone is still making noise even though I have silenced it once again. I really love when that happens. That makes you playing that game.
The game is not on my phone.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Oh, yet
[00:29:57] Speaker A: now that doesn't happen until later. They usually don't put the phone version out until about a month in.
But yes, you can track your things on your phone. Oh, wait, why are we talking about this again? Stop it.
Not. Not. Okay, so we have.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: You'll have. You'll have listeners following you and finding you on this game. And
[00:30:22] Speaker A: basically, people would like to join a private league on this. You can reach out to me and I will. I will get that set up.
The.
We'll. We'll do that. That'll be fun.
However, that is not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about this sad man.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Sad man on a bench.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:43] Speaker B: He's looking so mad. He's sad. He's mad. He's on a bench and he's.
[00:30:47] Speaker A: Well, then we're going to get a few pages to find out what happened to him.
[00:30:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Wow. How did he get here?
[00:30:53] Speaker A: Well, how did he get here? Well, he was fighting Mr. Gold. Animal saves the day by pulling some cables together. Yeah.
He gets shot by this guy, the sad man. I don't remember his name.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: Broderick.
[00:31:11] Speaker A: Yeah, like Pat Broderick, the artist?
[00:31:14] Speaker B: I think so, perhaps.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: Okay, now I'm done. Well, after he arrives, months after they arrive, he has to. He ends.
We don't know where he ends up yet. Uh, we find out that he admired Booster.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:31] Speaker A: In the future as he scored touchdowns and he was hoping his football team would get to draft him. So you get to watch him every. Every week.
[00:31:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:39] Speaker A: And while he was eating his soy dogs in the stand.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Yeah. And drinking the. The.
Whatever they drink in the future.
I know it's best filling and it's. But it tastes great.
[00:31:54] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
Then we flip the page, and we get an advertisement from Mike Grell's Green Arrow Long Bow Hunters. If you've never read.
You know, I'm just gonna pause there. If you've never seen the art in this book.
[00:32:11] Speaker B: Oh, you.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: You have made a mistake.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: It's.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: In fact, I didn't pull out a Green Arrow today.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I did pull out my John sable omnibus number one here.
[00:32:22] Speaker B: Oh, dang. Yeah.
[00:32:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it's.
There's some Mr. Gro's art that's cool.
But you get in this. It's not just Mr. GRL's art like this, but you get it painted as well.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: Oh, that's very nice.
[00:32:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So Long Bowhunters. Uh, it is one of the most beautiful books ever made.
[00:32:48] Speaker B: Oh. Yeah.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: And it helped re. Establish Green Arrow as a character. And then you'll get his own series after that.
And. Yeah. And it's a more mature Green Arrow.
[00:32:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: As. Yeah. As you can see from this, not necessarily recommended for young readers.
I would say, surprisingly, this. I was kind of surprisingly. See this ad in a book with a comics Code authority stamp on it, considering there's pretty much breaths in his face in the ad.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah. But, I mean, it's. It's greened out. You can't see it.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: You can very much see it.
[00:33:27] Speaker B: I. Yeah.
[00:33:30] Speaker A: Anyway, we flip the page, and we find out that the Captain. Chief, whatever he is. Broderick. There we go. Broderick gets very sad when he finds out that Booster has failed humanity.
[00:33:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:48] Speaker A: Thinks he deserves everything he gets for breaking the law.
Breaking the law. Then he finds out he stole a time machine.
[00:33:54] Speaker B: Oh, that guy stole a time machine. That is a. That's a. That's a crime against humanity in the future.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: Capital. Capital offense.
[00:34:02] Speaker B: Punishable by death.
[00:34:04] Speaker A: Cut you off. We were both saying the same thing.
[00:34:06] Speaker B: Ah, you owe me a Coke.
[00:34:11] Speaker A: So he goes and harasses his mom
[00:34:14] Speaker B: and his sister, like any good cop would do.
[00:34:18] Speaker A: He tries to find people. Right. And he was even wearing his body cam, apparently.
So now he figures out. But somehow, some way, he. He got sent back in time when he got jumped on the time platform. And now he's there. And now he's got to find Booster Gold. But he ends up in Oakland.
[00:34:39] Speaker B: Oaktown.
Oh, man. He's on the other side of the Bay Bridge.
[00:34:44] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I was once told by Sir. Yeah, that would be for those that don't know, that's our former debate coach, that people in Oakland were people that couldn't figure out how to get out of the turnaround lane to get onto the Bay Bridge.
[00:35:02] Speaker B: So is that why they had also the A's teams there?
[00:35:05] Speaker A: Well, the A's. Yeah, they've all left. The sports teams have left. Actually, it's very sad. The sports team have left. I, they're all Oakland.
[00:35:12] Speaker B: They're all in Las Vegas now. Is that correct?
[00:35:15] Speaker A: Oakland is a sad story. Yeah, they, while they're getting there, they stop to build the baseball stadium.
Yeah.
But anyway, we get some.
He's heading out and Boosters. Or he's headed out to find Booster. He's got to get away from Oakland. He steals some clothes.
He magically finds the most amazing duster possible.
[00:35:43] Speaker B: Yeah. In, in the washing machine, of all places.
[00:35:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
And.
Yeah, it was pretty amazing.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it's pretty nice. It looks good on him. He makes him look like a, Like a private eye.
[00:36:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it does make him look like a private eye.
[00:36:02] Speaker B: He looks like Columbo. He looks like Columbo.
[00:36:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's.
Yeah, he does look like Columbo, but
[00:36:15] Speaker B: because he's not, he's a man. Not of this time. He can't figure out how to drive a car.
Can't go track Booster down in a car because. Well, cars are a difficult thing for a future man,
[00:36:32] Speaker A: apparently.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
So he does what any, any
[00:36:40] Speaker A: person
[00:36:41] Speaker B: stuck in time would do.
Becomes a hobo.
[00:36:45] Speaker A: Yeah, that's, that is accurate. I believe so.
The.
Yeah. And he's.
He, he, he goes on a train.
You're exactly right. He does become a homeboy.
[00:37:01] Speaker B: He lives the rail life. I mean, he steals some clothes. He jumps a train. I mean, it's, that's. Honestly, though, I mean, hey, that's a, it's a way of life that some people do. And I hear it's quite exciting.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: You do? I. Have you done it before?
[00:37:19] Speaker B: I have not done it before, but
[00:37:21] Speaker A: I, I, I, that actually surprises me,
[00:37:24] Speaker B: but that I've never, never jumped a train.
And, and I've seen, I've seen the coal miner's daughter. I, I know what happens if you, if you mess up and, and, and your legs get cut off. That's not.
[00:37:39] Speaker A: Wow. That got dark.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: I know. Right.
But yeah, no, I. I've talked to a few people that have. That have lived the. The rail life for a minute, so.
[00:37:54] Speaker A: And you. You weren't a big. Not a big fan?
[00:37:56] Speaker B: Oh, no. I mean, I thought it was really interesting and. And they had some great stories and stuff like that, but it wasn't something that I could foresee myself doing. I was more of a jump in a car and drive across the country and not know where I was going kind of person and live out of
[00:38:10] Speaker A: the car for a while, you know? I see.
[00:38:12] Speaker B: That's kind of fun.
[00:38:15] Speaker A: So on a scale of 1 to 10, would you want to ride a train
[00:38:25] Speaker B: or.
[00:38:28] Speaker A: Or. Or ride public transportation legally all the way across the country?
[00:38:34] Speaker B: I mean, I'd probably do the legal way just because it's safer. Instead of, like, oopsies, I slipped and fell out of the side of the. The. The train and lost a leg or a foot, and then nobody was there to get me and died on the
[00:38:51] Speaker A: side of the tracks.
Okay.
I mean, that seems reasonable.
[00:38:56] Speaker B: Yeah, reasonable.
[00:39:00] Speaker A: So, okay.
[00:39:01] Speaker B: Riding the train. Riding the train is fun.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: I've.
[00:39:03] Speaker B: I've ridden the train up and down the. The West Coast.
[00:39:06] Speaker A: That's.
[00:39:07] Speaker B: That's pretty fun.
[00:39:10] Speaker A: You have? Yeah.
Which train?
[00:39:14] Speaker B: The.
[00:39:14] Speaker A: The Amtrak Starlight.
[00:39:16] Speaker B: The Amtrak train I rode from San Diego up to LA Starlight. Yeah. I think that's what it was.
[00:39:23] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: It was fun.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: Oh, all right. Well, we are back off to the races here, and we have a situation where he makes it all the way across the country, man.
Sitting outside of Booster's dinner space and tracking him because he's a detective.
[00:39:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:39:51] Speaker A: And Booster's having dinner with a, shall we say, attractive young lass.
[00:39:58] Speaker B: She's got a nice haircut, nice dress. She looks very pretty.
[00:40:03] Speaker A: Not named.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: Not. Yes, not.
Not. She does not have red hair. She has blonde hair.
And
[00:40:18] Speaker A: that's good.
So that's good. That's great. That's a good thing. Yeah, yeah, we. We agree that that's a good thing.
Well, we wouldn't want him back with whoever that was.
[00:40:31] Speaker B: At first. I'm going to say at first, during this interaction, I thought it was his sister for a hot minute. And until, like, the next page, and I was like, that's Dottie's sister.
[00:40:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
Okay.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, you know, because.
Yeah,
[00:40:53] Speaker A: yeah, it's fair.
Wow. I broke everything.
[00:41:01] Speaker B: You broke everything. What you do. You're. You're playing your game while we're doing a podcast.
[00:41:05] Speaker A: Dan. I am not playing.
[00:41:07] Speaker B: He's playing a game while we're doing the podcast, people. He's playing his game while he told me he wasn't gonna do this. And then he's sitting there and he's trying to build his team, his fantasy baseball team, and he's like, train baseball cards. Trying to build them up and make them better. Oh, my God. What if I want the stats up there and everything? Yeah.
[00:41:26] Speaker A: Okay. So knew it.
[00:41:27] Speaker B: Now I'm gonna pull a paul on you and be like, don't do that, Dan.
[00:41:31] Speaker A: Yeah, good luck pulling a paul on me. You'd pull your ass?
[00:41:34] Speaker B: I would, because it's weak, and we know it is.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: How's that ass strengthening going? It's.
[00:41:41] Speaker B: I. I do it every day to keep it strong.
[00:41:45] Speaker A: I see him.
[00:41:48] Speaker B: Well, you have to. When you got a weak ass like mine. That's right, people. When you find out that your knee is bad because you got a weak ass, you got to strengthen that ass. So your knees are good.
It's all interconnected. Your body's a weird thing. It's like a pyramid.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: I'm very much clipping what you just said for one of the shorts.
So basically, Booster throws his date to the side. He grabs a hubcap.
[00:42:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:15] Speaker A: I didn't know Booster was so good at stealing hubcaps. It's. It's much more of the other things he does illegally.
He hits him in the throat with the hubcap. That's quite the. Did he roll a 20 or what?
[00:42:27] Speaker B: Yeah, he.
Yeah, he's like, okay, all right, everybody, here's what I'm gonna do. Oh, going to. First, I'm going to throw my date on the ground. I'm going to kiss a roll for initiative. All right, cool. You hit a 19.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Perfect.
[00:42:39] Speaker B: Do the kiss. What are you going to do next? I'm going to grab this hubcap. I'm going to throw it at his neck. I don't know. Got to get 15 or higher.
[00:42:47] Speaker A: Now, is the kiss a. Is the kiss a bonus action or is that a.
[00:42:51] Speaker B: It's totally a bonus action, but it's something that I would say definitely charisma, because the next lines out of his mouth are like, get to. Why don't you. I'll meet you back at the place. Get in the hot tub. Keep it warm for me. It's like, what the hell, dude?
Throwing charisma around like nobody's business.
[00:43:13] Speaker A: Seems reasonable.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: I know. I know, but he uses it all almost.
[00:43:22] Speaker A: So he does. Well, one of the really cool things about this book, besides the art being much better than last issue, is we get this running Commentary of Broderick, where he's basically, like, being a.
He's basically being a what? What would you describe him as? Pretty much.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: He's kind of narrating, but giving.
[00:43:45] Speaker A: He's narrating like a private detective.
[00:43:47] Speaker B: Yeah, narrating like a private.
[00:43:48] Speaker A: It's like a film noir narration, and
[00:43:50] Speaker B: he's giving that, like, very. It's like. It's very subjective to himself, like why he's doing this and why he's got to get him and why Boosters.
[00:43:59] Speaker A: When don't you hear him like this? I underestimated his resourcefulness. Better remember my training if I'm to finish this mission. The coward runs.
The idea that he proclaims himself a superhero is disgusting.
Gone where?
Well, he's gone, right? A kick to the face. We get a flying kick to the face.
[00:44:24] Speaker B: Judo kick.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Judo kick. What are you. They don't kick in judo.
[00:44:30] Speaker B: Okay. Judo chopped.
[00:44:31] Speaker A: 1988.
[00:44:32] Speaker B: He's judo chopping with his foot. Taekwondo.
[00:44:35] Speaker A: No judo chop in judo either.
It's like a bad episode of Kung Fu.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: I know, I know.
[00:44:46] Speaker A: He.
[00:44:47] Speaker B: He does some taekwondo action.
[00:44:49] Speaker A: Rest in peace.
[00:44:51] Speaker B: Yeah, so.
[00:44:55] Speaker A: Yeah, well, they were fighting for the gun, and we got another classic film noir trope.
[00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Fighting for the gun. And it's crazy because the gun inside the book is red and the gun on the COVID is gray.
[00:45:09] Speaker A: Well, also, we had a whole panel that I cut out and sent to you earlier of. Of him complaining about the guns in this century, yet he's carrying around a gun.
[00:45:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, everybody's got guns, but his is a laser.
[00:45:23] Speaker A: He's kind of a hypocrite. Yeah. This seems scarier.
[00:45:25] Speaker B: I know, right? He shoot through stuff.
[00:45:30] Speaker A: Well, he can clearly set it to stun.
[00:45:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:33] Speaker A: So anyway, he. Basically, he's about to shoot Booster Gold. They have this whole conversation about it, and then they hear a gunshot, and Booster's like. He's like, freeze. Don't do anything. You flip the page and you two can learn to be a muscle man again. Got these ads back.
[00:45:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:51] Speaker A: Remember I told you if you go to Dave's Comics at 709-07-07019, E3 Chopped Road in Richmond, Virginia, you can buy all sorts of things.
[00:46:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And you can get rural tattoos and
[00:46:04] Speaker A: mini bikes and the comic Scrab bags again.
[00:46:08] Speaker B: Yeah, man.
[00:46:09] Speaker A: Shameful, shameful. You know what? You know the problem with chromic scrap bags is if you let the esteemed squacho man back in the store to serve as an employee, you would get rid of all those comics, grab Bags. Because, you know, he has ethics.
[00:46:24] Speaker B: What are you talking. Are you, don't you. Are you not a fan of grab bags of comics that you're gonna get. Gonna get?
[00:46:31] Speaker A: I'm not a fan of grab bags of anything. It's gambling.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: It is gambling.
[00:46:35] Speaker A: But, you know, definitely unlike doing the baseball game I'm doing. Right?
[00:46:38] Speaker B: Yeah, unlike that at all. Not nothing like it. But when you go to the retro emporium and you get a grab bag of comics, when we have a grab bag of comics, you're not just getting a bunch of junk in a bag. You're getting a bunch of.
[00:46:51] Speaker A: You're getting in the bag. You're getting a what in a bag?
[00:46:54] Speaker B: A bunch of junk.
[00:46:56] Speaker A: What in a bag, Greg.
[00:46:58] Speaker B: A bunch of junk in your bag. You're getting. You're getting what?
[00:47:01] Speaker A: What kind of things do you get in a bag? You reach in the bag and you get a what?
[00:47:05] Speaker B: And you get, you get comics. You get great comics.
And actually, no, that was a couple of the customers that were like, man, there's actually some good, there's some good stuff in there. These are, these are not, these are not like 25 cent comics. And I was like, I know.
Well, my wife, my wife is just giving away great books.
[00:47:28] Speaker A: Oh. I mean, your wife is pretty awesome.
[00:47:30] Speaker B: I feel like, I mean, honestly, like, we should do like, she and I should do like one of those old.
What was the guy that did the, that had the appliance store? Jack.
[00:47:42] Speaker A: Jack Roberts.
[00:47:43] Speaker B: Jack Roberts, yeah. Like, you know, and just getting crazy. Giving away stuff because I feel like half the time we're, we're, we're packing these, these, these mystery bags of things with amazing stuff.
[00:47:59] Speaker A: So that is a mystery as to why you would do that.
[00:48:02] Speaker B: Well, you know, I mean, we just like to. We like to make people happy. I mean, there's so much crap going on in the world.
Yeah. All the time. That. Why not, why not give people something good?
[00:48:16] Speaker A: Why not give people what they want?
[00:48:18] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:48:19] Speaker A: And what they want is good stuff is comics. Who doesn't want comics or good stuff?
[00:48:25] Speaker B: I mean, right now we're out of comics. So don't come to the retro emporium for comics. We're out of them. We don't got them.
[00:48:30] Speaker A: It's because I have all of your.
[00:48:31] Speaker B: You have them? Well, no, you don't have them all. You have. You have like a huge chunk of them. I want them back.
[00:48:37] Speaker A: I see.
You can't have them back. You gave them to me.
[00:48:41] Speaker B: I know, I know.
[00:48:42] Speaker A: And, and if I gave them Back to you. Oh, I'd be upset.
And I don't upset Ann. And that's. I'm just going to leave it at that. So we have now made it to annual. The 1987 annuals. The next page advertising for Doom Patrol. Well, Secret Origins, Doom Patrol and Superman.
By the way, after we get done with Booster Gold, I have decided what we are reading next.
[00:49:04] Speaker B: What is it that we're reading next?
Jonah Hex. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe it. That's amazing.
[00:49:10] Speaker A: No, we're not. We're not reading Johanna.
[00:49:11] Speaker B: I thought we had this whole entire conversation with. With Jason that we were going to. We're going to read Jonah.
[00:49:17] Speaker A: We're not reading Jonah Hex.
[00:49:18] Speaker B: And. And then. And then I talked to Kyle about it, and he was excited, too.
[00:49:23] Speaker A: Well, I'm sorry. Maybe that can be after. But we're going to read four issues.
Four issues. Because the Legion of Superhero. Because the Legion of Superheroes is getting a new book. Okay.
And I hate John Byrne.
[00:49:37] Speaker B: So we're going to read John.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: We are going to read the four issues.
Yeah. Where they kill both Krypto and Superboy.
Wow.
Just to show you how evil John Byrne is that he got rid of Crypto. Aren't you glad Crypto is back? Now that Crypto's back? Creators have seen.
[00:49:58] Speaker B: Yes, he's back.
[00:50:00] Speaker A: But I mentioned how John Byrne attempted to destroy Superman.
[00:50:03] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:50:04] Speaker A: Through man of Steel and mandating all these things. And one of the things is, you couldn't have any other Kryptonians except for
[00:50:10] Speaker B: Clark Kent, but we know that.
[00:50:12] Speaker A: Which means you can't have Supergirl, which means you can't have Crypto, which means you can't have a Superboy.
Oh, boy.
[00:50:19] Speaker B: So they all.
[00:50:19] Speaker A: Even though it died, it doesn't. It makes total sense that Superman's powers would manifest magically when he was 20.
[00:50:28] Speaker B: Yeah, that's like.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: Because that's how physics works.
[00:50:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, all of a sudden, boom powers, right?
[00:50:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it does make sense if you think about it.
[00:50:37] Speaker B: He wakes up one day, he's like. He's like a normal dude. And, like, he's. He's sitting there and, like, he's. He's, like, getting ready for work. And he's, like, real careful about shaving because, like, he's been. He's been practicing with a straight razor, and he's. He's like, oh, I got to be real careful. And then all of a sudden, he, like.
And he's, like, ready to cut himself because he knows it's what's going to happen. And then all of a sudden he realized he didn't. And he's like, oh, wow, I didn't do it.
[00:51:05] Speaker A: And then he's like, exactly what happened.
Yeah, it's exactly what happened.
[00:51:11] Speaker B: He shoots himself in the. In the face with his own laser eyes. And he's like, oh, man, that sucks.
[00:51:18] Speaker A: What if you shot yourself in the face because.
[00:51:21] Speaker B: Because he's like. Shoots it into the mirror and it bounces right back.
It's like double. He double shot himself in the face because he shot himself in the mirror face, which we know is another dimension. And then comes back and the other Superman inside the mirror said, hey, don't do that, and shot him back in the face.
[00:51:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
How you like then that is not what that could happen, I guess.
[00:51:46] Speaker B: But it didn't.
[00:51:48] Speaker A: Because, John, that could certainly happen it.
[00:51:51] Speaker B: If I wrote it, it would.
[00:51:54] Speaker A: Well, if you wrote it, we would have had a. You wouldn't have destroyed the legion of superheroes either.
[00:51:58] Speaker B: That's probably true.
We would have had the. We would have had a. A secondary legion on top of the secondary Legion. And they would be the Legion of Super Zeros.
[00:52:14] Speaker A: Wow.
No.
[00:52:18] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:52:20] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I actually could see you doing that. Yes.
I could very much see you writing that comic book. Yeah. So.
[00:52:31] Speaker B: And. And there's.
[00:52:31] Speaker A: To make me sad.
[00:52:32] Speaker B: I know.
What's your. What's your power? It can turn into a park bench. Why is that a power Not.
But somebody already can turn into a whole entire clubhouse, so they need some place.
I know, but that's why you have this one.
[00:52:57] Speaker A: I see. Yeah.
[00:52:58] Speaker B: See?
Exactly. Anyways, moving on.
[00:53:03] Speaker A: Okay.
Well, okay, then I guess that is what we are doing.
[00:53:12] Speaker B: There's so much more book to be talked about.
[00:53:15] Speaker A: There is so much more book to be talked about. So there's not a lot actually. So.
[00:53:20] Speaker B: Yeah, there is a page.
[00:53:22] Speaker A: Yeah. They go to a liquor store. I could summarize the rest of this book in like four sentences.
[00:53:26] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. But the action.
[00:53:28] Speaker A: Mr. Gold.
Mr. Gold flies out.
He goes. He sneaks into the liquor store. Broderick is. We don't know what he's doing at this point.
[00:53:38] Speaker B: Doesn't have everybody. You gotta. You didn't tell him he's not wearing his super.
[00:53:43] Speaker A: His.
[00:53:44] Speaker B: His Booster Gold super suit.
[00:53:46] Speaker A: That is true.
[00:53:46] Speaker B: He's just wearing a tuxedo. So now he looks like James Bond flying around the city.
And he's like. He's being pursued by.
By a Colombo of the night and he's. So it's James Bond and Colombo added, again, little cat and mouse, little cloak and dagger, but they're boosters, hoping that.
[00:54:08] Speaker A: That.
[00:54:09] Speaker B: That he brokered a deal with them, that they're gonna. They're gonna stop this crime in time.
This time.
[00:54:15] Speaker A: It is. It is true.
[00:54:17] Speaker B: Yeah, it is.
It's perfect.
Fitting.
Two heroes on opposite ends of the spectrum working together to make something right.
Right?
[00:54:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
You're like.
[00:54:34] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so. So. So Booster flies up this guy's. Destroys this guy's building to get inside.
[00:54:49] Speaker A: Yeah. It's pretty much what happens.
[00:54:50] Speaker B: And then he dies. Yes. He dies.
[00:54:54] Speaker A: No, but my favorite part is when he punches the dude in the face.
[00:54:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:54:58] Speaker A: And it leaves the Legion flight ring indented on his face.
[00:55:02] Speaker B: Bam. Right under his eye.
[00:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah. So that is actually cool. That is pretty cool.
Yeah.
[00:55:11] Speaker B: So, yeah, I honestly thought in the. The.
The upper panel, when Booster's crawling around and you see, like, the. The feet of the guys, I thought he was going to tie their shoes together.
[00:55:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:25] Speaker B: And they're going to have, like, a trip and fall moment. And then when that didn't happen, I was kind of sad. But then when he. He pops the champagne to. To scare them, and they start shooting in the direction of the champagne.
Was like, home alone.
[00:55:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See?
So, yeah, I am.
And how do you feel about all that?
[00:55:57] Speaker B: Well, I like it because, you know, Broderick pops in and they. They work together.
[00:56:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:05] Speaker B: To. To stop these three bad dudes.
[00:56:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
You're just.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: You're just like. You're playing your game, everybody. Dan is playing his game again. He's trading cards and he's building his team.
[00:56:24] Speaker A: I'm not playing my game.
[00:56:25] Speaker B: You are. You're totally not. I am not playing my game in the. You just said you're. I could. I could say anything I want Podcast.
[00:56:32] Speaker A: Not true degree
[00:56:35] Speaker B: Call you out of the game.
[00:56:36] Speaker A: I'm not playing my game right now.
[00:56:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:56:38] Speaker A: I'm not.
[00:56:38] Speaker B: I'm not. I'm not. I swear I'm not.
[00:56:41] Speaker A: Not playing the game right now. So what cards. What?
[00:56:43] Speaker B: What?
[00:56:44] Speaker A: What?
[00:56:44] Speaker B: What?
[00:56:45] Speaker A: Who I'm seeing is the ad after page.
[00:56:49] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:56:49] Speaker A: 20.
Where you've got who's who in the. Who's new in the DC Universe, who's new and you. You have a terrible art.
[00:56:58] Speaker B: What are you talking about? It's great. It's got everybody smashed together.
[00:57:03] Speaker A: That drawing is terrible. Yeah.
But Booster is right front and center.
[00:57:07] Speaker B: Got Booster. You got his sister.
No, that's not.
[00:57:12] Speaker A: Got Wild Dog.
[00:57:13] Speaker B: Got Wild Dog.
[00:57:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
Got some young all Stars back There.
[00:57:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:57:20] Speaker A: Got a banshee if you didn't.
Yeah, there you go. You got Trucker down in the corner.
[00:57:28] Speaker B: Okay, everybody.
[00:57:32] Speaker A: And then on the next page, two free months of comics again. Oh, wow.
Get them.
[00:57:39] Speaker B: Get them while you can.
[00:57:40] Speaker A: Legion of Superheroes and New Teen Titans are so good. They cost twice as much as the regular books. No, I can't imagine that would potentially tank sales for having One book cost $1.50 and the rest of the books costing 75 cents. Yeah, yeah, seems like a good idea.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: Hey, let's charge you twice as much for everything you like.
And you would have just bought it if it was the regular price.
[00:58:03] Speaker A: I mean, it was some nice paper.
[00:58:05] Speaker B: Yeah, premium.
Paying a premium for the premium. That's kind of like when you go to the store and you're like, ah, do I want the. The soft and strong or just the strong?
Pay for the premium paper. Yeah, pay for the premium paper.
[00:58:23] Speaker A: Dan, what do you want?
[00:58:27] Speaker B: The soft and strong?
[00:58:29] Speaker A: What I want.
[00:58:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:58:30] Speaker A: Is for Broderick to shoot some bad guys on page 21.
[00:58:34] Speaker B: And he does. As Booster flies in, takes down some bad guys, Broderick starts blasting, and that's when I started blasting, and he's like, pop.
[00:58:47] Speaker A: And somebody shoots Broderick, and.
[00:58:49] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:58:51] Speaker A: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy in the back of the head.
Well, Broderick and Booster save the day.
Booster gives his gun back to him. Broderick aims it at him, and then is like, I want to do it.
I really do want to pull the trigger, but I can't.
Maybe he's supposed to be a here, a hero, and in some strange fashion, maybe destiny really is laying us against each other.
But I will not ask him for help. Sometimes you can only take so much.
Sometimes you just have to find your own way out.
[00:59:29] Speaker B: It becomes Wild Dog.
[00:59:35] Speaker A: Fantastic.
[00:59:38] Speaker B: That would be so crazy, man. I would, like, love that.
[00:59:43] Speaker A: I would. I would love if he was becoming Wild Dog.
[00:59:48] Speaker B: He's like, I'm not in my place. I'm not in my time, but I'm still gonna fight crime.
[00:59:53] Speaker A: And the dog.
[00:59:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I got that dog in me.
[00:59:59] Speaker A: Well, that brings us to the gold exchange.
[01:00:03] Speaker B: Oh, yes.
[01:00:04] Speaker A: There's no TM Maple. Oh.
There's no Pounces, and there's no Hills, and there's.
[01:00:11] Speaker B: And there's no Jamies Riches.
[01:00:16] Speaker A: But. But there is a giantly long letter which I'm not going to read all of.
[01:00:22] Speaker B: Oh, come on.
That's what the listeners want. The listeners want you to read the whole letter, Dan.
[01:00:27] Speaker A: Well, it's by Daniel Tobias of 4254025 Golf Links Boulevard. Apartment 340 in Shreveport, Louisiana. 71109.
You can contact Mr. Tobias if you'd like. Just write to that address. I'm sure he is still there.
But what Mr. Tobias does is really interesting. He gives a summary of like the history of time in the DC universe and asks questions about why stimulate time machine. It's just an automatic capital offense if you just do that. He talks about Jason. He talks about Jonah hex in mid 21st century. That'd be listener Jason for everyone.
[01:01:10] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[01:01:12] Speaker A: He talks about order being restored. He kind of goes through this, builds this beautiful history of the DC universe. Maybe they should read the history of the DC universe if they want to know this.
And then says, and then we got better by the time of the legion of Superheroes, huh?
Of course, John Byrne doesn't want them to exist, so it can't get. But anyway, but he gives all these theories and I thought it was a really interesting letter.
Personally.
[01:01:40] Speaker B: It was.
[01:01:40] Speaker A: Dan Jurgens did not.
[01:01:42] Speaker B: I was gonna say. Is it Daniel writing to Dan? It's like Superman.
[01:01:46] Speaker A: Dan Jurgen says, thanks for the series, Daniel. Yeah, he says, thanks for the theories, Daniel.
Are you after my job or what?
Actually, I look at it this way. If time and machines really did exist, it would be a frightening concept. The potential for misuse such a machine is beyond comprehension, as are the possible consequences. The existence of such a machine would likely throw society into a worldwide debate with fear as a major cornerstone.
It is therefore likely that the government would consider extraordinary penalties for unauthorized use of such a machine, possibly even death without trial.
Wow.
Or you would just have judges that carried out the law and they would come and they would say, I am the law.
[01:02:35] Speaker B: That's, that's, that's.
I, I. Okay, question.
Stallone or Urban
[01:02:45] Speaker A: Stallone?
[01:02:48] Speaker B: I really liked Urban better.
[01:02:49] Speaker A: Urban, better movie. Stallone better judge.
Yes.
[01:02:57] Speaker B: Okay, fair, fair, fair.
What if you put Stallone in Urban's movie?
[01:03:07] Speaker A: I'll have to think about that.
I mean, I'm still burnt a little bit on not as well.
[01:03:13] Speaker B: So yes, I'm burnt that we didn't get a, another, a second judge dread with Urban.
[01:03:23] Speaker A: That's fair.
[01:03:24] Speaker B: I, I loved it.
I went and I watched it at Cinema Cinerama.
[01:03:32] Speaker A: Cinerama. Cinerama.
[01:03:34] Speaker B: Yeah. And he, and he was there and he talked about it.
[01:03:39] Speaker A: Well, we are finishing up this book and we are going to move on, I guess. Are we doing the whole Booster Gold or are we finish it.
[01:03:46] Speaker B: We're. We're almost done with it. Why not finish it?
[01:03:50] Speaker A: Not almost done with it. There are.
There's like seven or eight more issues.
That is not almost done.
That is a long time.
[01:03:59] Speaker B: We're pretty close.
[01:04:00] Speaker A: We are not close.
[01:04:02] Speaker B: We should let it. Let it be up to the listeners.
[01:04:06] Speaker A: There are 25 issues, apparently.
[01:04:09] Speaker B: We'll do a poll. We'll do a poll.
[01:04:11] Speaker A: There are 25 more issues. I did a poll, but I don't think anybody responded to it.
[01:04:15] Speaker B: Do another poll. And then. And then. Well, we'll tell everybody. Hey, this is your big chance right now. If you're listening, this is your big chance right now.
[01:04:24] Speaker A: You get.
[01:04:25] Speaker B: You get to make or break, Dan. I mean, you get to make or.
[01:04:34] Speaker A: Well, I was. I was thinking that it might make sense to do these Legion of Superheroes and Superman issues.
[01:04:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:04:41] Speaker A: While they're relevant to the current happenings in the DC universe and the movie universe. I suppose that's why I was proposing that, okay, we're getting a new Legion series, and then with Crypto and Superman, all of that. That's. That's going to be four weeks, Bear. Now, we could always come back to Booster Gold.
[01:04:57] Speaker B: People will forget.
[01:05:00] Speaker A: I don't think they'll forget.
[01:05:01] Speaker B: We'll have a gold exchange of our own.
[01:05:04] Speaker A: We already have a gold exchange every week.
[01:05:09] Speaker B: Okay, so I understand what you're proposing, and it makes sense.
[01:05:20] Speaker A: It does make sense.
[01:05:21] Speaker B: It makes sense, but I think the listeners are going to be so sad. And now they're going to write and they're going to. They're going to post and they're going to say things that are going to make you sad, Dan.
[01:05:33] Speaker A: Well, well, also with Superboy prime, we're finding out the beginning of that. So there's a lot of things going on in the DC universe right now. Yeah. None of which we're going to talk about. In fact, we're going to talk about how John Byrne destroyed the Legion.
[01:05:47] Speaker B: Super destroyed it.
[01:05:49] Speaker A: Took a giant steam, killed Superboy and killed Crypto and made everyone sad.
[01:05:55] Speaker B: Made everybody sad.
[01:05:57] Speaker A: Had to draw his own Fantastic Four cover.
See?
[01:06:00] Speaker B: Because nobody would draw for him.
[01:06:03] Speaker A: Well, no, and if these are handy. I think it is.
It's right here on this omnibus here.
See, this was the actual cover of the Legion issue. And you can see he's replicating a Fantastic Four cover.
[01:06:19] Speaker B: Oh, it is, yeah.
[01:06:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Because this one's not even open. It's still got the plastic on it, but there's the Torch back in the background. Invisible Girl, slash Invisible Kid back there.
[01:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:06:29] Speaker A: Got the thing in blocks up there. And then you've got Brainiac 5 stepping in for Mr. Fantastic.
[01:06:37] Speaker B: Oh, man.
There you go.
[01:06:39] Speaker A: So that's one of the covers you're gonna get. So here. Here's the good news. You're gonna get some pretty good art here.
[01:06:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:06:48] Speaker A: So at least you. You got that going for you. I like it. So you're gonna see some nice art. As much as I disagree to John Byrne's direction. Yeah. Of the character, I can't argue with John Byrne art. Good.
[01:07:00] Speaker B: Yeah, true, true.
[01:07:02] Speaker A: But just like when you let, say, a really good artist take over Spider man in the 90s, huh?
Yeah. Stories were great, right?
[01:07:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah.
[01:07:16] Speaker A: Or you have artists create their own company.
[01:07:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. And then.
[01:07:21] Speaker A: And remember the great stories?
[01:07:24] Speaker B: Yeah,
[01:07:26] Speaker A: right.
What was your favorite Cyber Force story?
[01:07:30] Speaker B: Well, it was obviously the one where Cyber Force Cyber forces themselves into your heart.
[01:07:36] Speaker A: And then what was your favorite Wildcats plot line?
[01:07:39] Speaker B: Oh, the one where they tell us to go buy all their toys and I did.
[01:07:43] Speaker A: I see. And what was your favorite Brigade plot line?
[01:07:47] Speaker B: Well, with Brigade, I thought it was interesting because it was.
[01:07:51] Speaker A: What was your favorite Youngblood.
Youngblood plot line?
[01:07:55] Speaker B: Well, there's too many plot lines for youngblood to choose one.
[01:08:00] Speaker A: How about Your favorite 100 issues of spawn plotline?
[01:08:04] Speaker B: Again, you can't. You can't choose one with Spawn. It just keeps coming back.
[01:08:10] Speaker A: See?
At least Spawn actually had some moments in there.
[01:08:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:08:14] Speaker A: Notice I'm leaving out the Savage Dragon because there was actually plot.
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, what. What could possibly go wrong when you put a bunch of artists in charge of something?
[01:08:29] Speaker B: I mean, nothing at all.
You get a lot of really cool stuff.
[01:08:35] Speaker A: He's primarily an artist and. And give the keys of the Superman kingdom to him.
[01:08:39] Speaker B: I mean, he might have burned you.
[01:08:44] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We've been talking about this a long time. So let's read it. Yeah. Okay. Let's find out why.
[01:08:51] Speaker B: Let's find out why.
[01:08:53] Speaker A: So we're doing that next. There'll be four issues. There's. I forget the issue numbers at the moment, but we'll be doing two Legion of Superhero issues, and we'll be doing two. One Action Comics, I believe, and one Superman. So it was a four issue block. I will get those to you and we'll read them, and I will advertise for them. And then. Yeah, So I think it was Legion 36 and 37, if I remember correctly. That was the Baxter Run.
I know those ones. I'm going to have trouble remembering the Superman issues because I had to pick those up off the stand to get the crossover because, well, I wasn't reading those books because we were all mad about them for some reason.
[01:09:40] Speaker B: So something.
[01:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it is Legion. I was incorrect. It is 37 and 38, not 36 and 37. So 37 and 38. And I will say this.
I will say the. No offense to the art combination here, but as you can see, I do like the Larocque and decarlo art. It looks great.
[01:10:06] Speaker B: It looks really cool.
[01:10:09] Speaker A: Yeah. This is definitely a series we'd want to get rid of.
[01:10:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:10:14] Speaker A: So, yeah, it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't go so well for some of the characters here.
[01:10:26] Speaker B: Well, I guess we'll find out. I don't know here.
[01:10:31] Speaker A: Well, I'm showing all sorts of stuff now.
[01:10:33] Speaker B: Oh, man.
Safe search on. No, just joking. Well, it's funny. Legion of Superhero covers will get you
[01:10:43] Speaker A: as adventure comics covers. Well, because none of that's going to show up when we get out of here.
[01:10:51] Speaker B: People viewing. The people viewing.
[01:10:53] Speaker A: Anything I show on screen doesn't show up for the people.
[01:10:55] Speaker B: So it's just for the people listening. They're like, what's he showing?
[01:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, and I'm sorry, I was showing Greg a cover. You're gonna have to look it up yourself. You can look up Legion of superheroes Baxter, volume three, number 37 and 38. And. Yeah. So we'll go through how John Byrne murdered Crypto and other things in the next four issues.
Yes.
Fuck. People who murder dogs.
[01:11:20] Speaker B: Yeah. They need to get John Wicked.
[01:11:24] Speaker A: I hate that movie. I stopped watching it in the first five minutes.
[01:11:28] Speaker B: Well, yeah, but it gets better after that.
[01:11:30] Speaker A: I didn't watch anymore.
[01:11:33] Speaker B: You should.
[01:11:34] Speaker A: I didn't watch anymore. You already know this. I've talked about it many times.
Well, we're going to transition to. Also.
[01:11:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:11:42] Speaker A: Reasons I won't watch Cyborg or Nemesis or whatever it's called.
[01:11:48] Speaker B: Nemesis.
[01:11:48] Speaker A: They kill the dog.
[01:11:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:11:54] Speaker A: He gets that dog and they murder him.
[01:11:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:11:58] Speaker A: In the middle.
[01:11:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:01] Speaker A: The dog was the only good part about the whole movie.
[01:12:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:06] Speaker A: Well, anyway. And then if you like.
[01:12:08] Speaker B: It's kind of weird because then he kind of. It's like pre. John Wick. John Wicks, everybody that killed his dog.
[01:12:15] Speaker A: He does. Yeah. So, well, if you like Alex Rain, sometime in the future.
[01:12:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:23] Speaker A: Starlight comes out and then the art's ready for this book.
You can get the revenge of Alex Rain and his dog.
[01:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:38] Speaker A: A cyborg story.
In the fourth edition.
In the fourth edition on Kickstarter.
[01:12:46] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:12:48] Speaker A: We'll have a link for you.
[01:12:49] Speaker B: There you go.
[01:12:51] Speaker A: I believe when Travis Webb wrote the story.
[01:12:54] Speaker B: Oh, yes, he did.
[01:12:56] Speaker A: And Greg co wrote it or edited it.
[01:13:00] Speaker B: I had a very minor part. Just reading along and the things that he wrote and saying, I like it.
[01:13:07] Speaker A: And when Brett Wadelli wrote or wrote the art.
[01:13:11] Speaker B: Yes, he wrote the art.
[01:13:13] Speaker A: Yes, he typed it into chat GPT and said, give me art.
[01:13:17] Speaker B: Shut your face, dude. No, he painted.
[01:13:20] Speaker A: And that's what happened. Oh, he's a digital creator.
[01:13:23] Speaker B: He painted and drew this art.
[01:13:26] Speaker A: Oh, he actually made art.
[01:13:28] Speaker B: He actually made the art. Oh, my God.
[01:13:31] Speaker A: I didn't know you did that anymore.
[01:13:32] Speaker B: Yeah, people do that. That's what he does.
[01:13:36] Speaker A: Okay, well, that's good news. So I'm glad I got it all correct this week. Thank you for affirming that. And we'll have links for you up.

And on that note, I think we're done.
[01:14:08] Speaker B: All right. I'm gonna curl up in a ball and die over here.
[01:14:12] Speaker A: Okay. And I'm not gonna play baseball.
[01:14:15] Speaker B: Yeah, he's not gonna play his game all night long.
[01:14:18] Speaker A: It doesn't count right now anyway. It's in beta. Who's gonna waste her time on that?
[01:14:24] Speaker B: It's just practicing all the.
