Starting point is 00:00:00 Who, what you're thinking? You really don't want to know what I'm thinking. Your energy. Just I'm thinking about chocolate most of the time. Oh, okay. I was going to say, did you know as an Information Society here wrote that? Who got that song? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:00:17 You don't want to know what they're thinking? I don't know if I know that song. So that's that. Yeah, Information Society is the name of it. They're weird, like, one-hit wonder from... You know, it's really fun. funny is like they have such strong like UK vibes but they're from Minnesota. Oh, well, rest mania is next year.
Starting point is 00:00:37 In Minnesota? I think it's Minnesota. No, it's Minneapolis. Which is in Minnesota. Oh. There you go. Yeah. I think it was, I think it was Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Yeah. Or is in Las Vegas? Wait. Okay, forget it. I don't know what I'm talking about. That's okay. We were talking about information society. and it just went from there.
Starting point is 00:01:04 I didn't know I was like talking about the World Dumble or Summer Slam or WrestleMania, but I'm pretty sure one of them's coming from Minnesota. Then I think next year is Las Vegas is either WrestleMania or Summer Slam. I can't remember which one. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:23 But anyway, it's not important. Unless you want to keep talking about Minnesota. Well, so I was to go on a small talk about information society, because I'm not done talking about them, apparently. I remembered like, this is not the first time I fell down into a weird, like, research hole about them. And I remember I found this, like, post on this guy's website, and he was, like, the number one information society fan of all time. And I was, it shouldn't surprise you. It shouldn't, number two behind you.
Starting point is 00:02:00 you were number two I'll yeah I'll I'll take number two I feel like there's not that many other people that just me knowing who they are in the year 2024 puts me in the top two um fucking clowning on them for some reason anyway yeah I I just like he was like
Starting point is 00:02:16 talk in this post is like so passionate talking about them and everything and I was just you know there's that kind of reminder um years ago when Tom King did the heroes crisis storyline at DC, which is like a weird half-assed take on like what superhero mental health looks like.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I remember this one person on this message board was so excited because it looked like this character called Blue Jay was going to be featured. And like, who is Blue Jay, Dylan? Do you know who Blue Jay is? I don't think I know what's going on at all. Okay. So Blue Jay is. a character from DC that is kind of like a
Starting point is 00:03:05 bar man but they and the atom mixed together so he has wings and he can fly but he can also shrink really small okay so this guy was so excited about this this character being featured in Heroes and Crisis and then like the character got killed off in the first issue and And it's just like, I get, you know, it's kind of that proof that everybody is somebody's favorite character. Or, and everybody is someone's favorite band. Yeah, I think so. There's loads of bands I listen to.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I'm like, these guys fucking rule. And like, nobody fucking knows who they are. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Smart Avengers. My name is Corey. And with me is Dylan. Sadly, we have no John. This John has run away.
Starting point is 00:03:54 He's on a, he, he, he, he, John, unfortunately, was in a bar. the other day and got he was drinking a lot and got into a tussle with somebody and it ended up with him being challenged to it around the world trip and so john had to go and do that i don't know if it's in 80 days or not he didn't i'm just going off the information he sent me in a very rushed telegram but it seemed like he was on his way to buy a blimp of some sort to go around the world and that means he was going to miss today's recording was he with steve cooombe and Jackie Chan by chance. He didn't mention that, and I feel like if he was, he probably would have mentioned it. Feels like the kind of thing you'd let me know about it. If I was with Steve Coogan, I'd phone you up, you know. I was to say, are you a big Steve Coogan fan? I'm a moderate Steve Coogan fan.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I'm okay with Steve Coogan. I felt like he was everywhere for a period of time, and then he just stopped. Yeah. Well, you made a billion money, so. He did. You know what movie? Everybody tells me is really good, but I saw it and I thought it sucked. 24-hour party people.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I don't think I've seen that. It's a movie about like the Hacienda Records and like Joy Division and the cult and stuff and like the people who were like behind the scenes of it. I thought it was dumb and kind of goofy. But a lot of people go, that's one of the greatest
Starting point is 00:05:17 rock and roll films of all time. And I'm like, I will have to take your word for it because I did not care for it. I bet John would have seen it. I bet John would have seen it and I bet John would have had amazing opinions on it. And if you want to see opinions like what John probably has written for 24-hour party people and the 391 other movies he's watched so far this year, go to Letterbox and follow him at Big John Bowsky. Yeah, do that. Yeah, we're getting all the pitches out of the way.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah. Well, we're pros, man. Yeah, seriously, we're just finding all these great segways. Oh, that reminds me, are you hungry? Because today's episode sponsored by shreddies. You got to eat shreddies. shreddies. What do you know what
Starting point is 00:06:00 shreddies are? What are shreddies? Do you know how shreddies? I have no idea what shreddies are, no. It's like a breakfast cereal. I was like shredded wheat? Kind of. They're like little squares.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Okay, yeah. I think we have something like that, but they're not called shreddies. What do you guys call them? I think they're just called like shredded wheat. No, no, no, because we have shredded wheat. and it's like a big, like a brick kind of thing. It's a big thing.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah, I'm looking this up now. Shreddies are like little squares. I'm seeing shreddies. Yeah, I see these. I don't think I've ever seen them in stores. Okay. Yeah, I think they're just, yeah. Do they not have shreddies in America?
Starting point is 00:06:49 I don't think so. I'm going to go to the grocery store tomorrow morning, so I'll report back. Get frost to shreddies. They're really good. If they are there. Yeah, I used to get them all the time. It's good to get some wheat, you know. I don't know if they actually have wheat in them.
Starting point is 00:07:05 I have no idea what the ingredients of shreddies are. Yeah, so there you go. Let me report back with your breakfast cereal recon. I have a veggie cheeryos right now, which are Cheerios that are made with, like, plant-based stuff. So it's like broccoli and beets. Right, but aren't they made
Starting point is 00:07:35 from like, oh, it's some wheat and shit, which are plant-based? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just more of a vegetable kind of vibe to it as opposed to just like grains. I don't want to be rude, but broccoli chiroos sounds fucking awful.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I mean, it's okay. Okay. Well, I'm glad you are indifferent to it. but I love Cheerios. Honeynut Cheerios. That's a good Cheerio. You know what you mean? Yeah. Broccoli Cheerio. I don't know. I don't think I can get on board with that. I mean, they put like apple juice in them so they taste less like vegetables. Apple juice, sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah, it's. Yeah, yeah. So it's like apple juice. It diffused with like meats and broccoli and stuff. The more you're describing this, the sign's terrible. I've had the box for like two and a half months. It's not empty yet. It either means I'm not a big breakfast cereal person or I'm not a big veggie chiro person. And you eat this with milk? Apparently.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Is that how you eat it? I don't. No, I'm dry cereal kind of person. You don't eat milk? Drink milk, I should say. You know, if you're eating milk, it means the milk has gone bad. It's ice cream. It's turned into a lump
Starting point is 00:08:56 No, I'm vegan Oh That's a shame Oh, you miss it on something delicious So I also have a nut allergy So I can't have almond milk I think all that stuff like almond milk is weird Because
Starting point is 00:09:10 Almonds don't have teats They got little tithes You just got to milk them How do you milk an almond You don't milk it You smush it up And that seems worse That seems worse to me.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You know what you mean? That seems way destructive. Just squishing something just to get some delicious milk, you know? I think John's going to regret leaving us to our own devices too many weeks in a row. John's going to be super happy that he decided to fuck off on a hot air balloon
Starting point is 00:09:41 instead of being on this episode. With Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan. We don't know if they're there. We don't know. This is just pure speculation on our part. You know what you mean? but if John texts us to say yes he is with Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan
Starting point is 00:09:58 will keep everybody updated to write the chorus of the podcast because it's very important speaking of the podcast yeah we're actually doing a show right now apparently but Corey has no idea what the show is about nope and that's why I feel like it's going the direction it has been and I'm supposed to know what the show is about
Starting point is 00:10:18 yeah so what's the show about Dylan I thought it would be fun to do a little show where I don't tell Corey what the show is. I had an idea and I thought I'll wait till we actually start recording because that way you get like a live reaction. You know, unfiltered, unscripted, uncensored, uneven, Undertaker, all the other words that begin with on. Me and Mark Calloway.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah, he's not, he's that he's with John. So he's chasing John's in a hot air balloon He's chasing John Oh Jesus Christ Boy, I'm starting to get a weird raising Arizona vibe Where John is like running away And there's this Biker Undertaker is behind him the whole time
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yes This is what's happening As is my understanding of the situation Yes And I may be incorrect by don't think I am Okay I think I've got this also Again John will be able to
Starting point is 00:11:18 John will be able to tell us if I'm correct or not next week. All right. Well, we'll ask him next week. John, is this a situation that you need to talk to us about? Are you safe? Are you alone right now? Is he there? We have to remember to ask him up with this.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Let's not forget by next week. I don't think we will. Anyway, so Dylan, what's his episode about? there, bud. Let me tell you, Corey. I got a lot of emails, I got a lot of letters, I got a lot of correspondence from all of our lovely fans. You have so many fans. You know this. You've seen the numbers. You've seen the metrics. We have fans all across the globe, which isn't a lie. I know it sounds like a lie, but it's not. Right? It's not. That's actually a truthful statement. We actually have, literally have fans. Well, we have people who list to the show. I don't know their plans or not.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Hey, you keep listening to us. You're making your bed there. You got a line. it eventually. Maybe they listen to us because they hate it. They got these fucking cob shites doing this show again, you know? Who knows? I don't know. But, you know, we're always getting
Starting point is 00:12:31 inundated questions, the fans, you know? And you did an episode where you talked to me about some stuff. And now I think it's time that we turn the tables and I do an episode where we ask questions to you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:48 So I have compiled a big list of all of the questions that the fans have sent in. Okay. And, um, all right, all right. All of the questions that are numerous fans from across the world have emailed in or, or handwritten to me, which is very strange because I don't know where they got my address from. I'm a little worried about that. One of them was in the form of a singing telegram. Yeah. you know, it's one of them was like Morse code.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And I don't even know how that got to me. I don't know Morse code. I don't have a Morse code machine. Very strange. But I got it. So we got lots of questions. And they're all for you because you're the most interesting member of the show. Really?
Starting point is 00:13:38 Okay. You know, I don't know what. That's what the people tell me. And all the people wouldn't lie to. me, would they? From their lips to God's ears. Am I God? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:54 That's a statement that's probably going to come back and bite me on the ass at some point. Sure. That's probably not what I want to put out on the internet. Is it? Probably not, no. Because now I'm going to get emails. They'll be like, dude, I prayed to you and you didn't listen.
Starting point is 00:14:11 They're like, well, you're really boring. All right, let's get out with it. What's going on? Okay. So we got some, we got some questions. We're going to, we're going to interview Corey.
Starting point is 00:14:24 This is going to be, Corey, this is your life. Oh, Jesus Christ. But not really like that. Yeah, because we don't have the, the budget.
Starting point is 00:14:33 The scope. We don't have a, it's not wide enough. We're probably going to ask you questions, but comics. Oh, okay. You know,
Starting point is 00:14:41 because that's what the people like. That's what they listen to, the show for. You know? They don't listen to it for the witty banter or the snappy one-liners or all the other stuff. No, they listen to it for the pure comics knowledge. And you're the one that delivers that week in and week on. You know?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Sure. So let me see. This letter is from what? Nothing. Just keep going. Oh, I will. we got an R of this shit we do don't we
Starting point is 00:15:20 you probably wonder can he make up a bunch of names in an R I think so I think I can do it so by makeup I mean read off this sheet of paper
Starting point is 00:15:33 yeah because I wrote them all down these are all real people his opinions need to be shared and we're going to do that so John this first question is from Tommy two-tone
Starting point is 00:15:48 and he wants to know why do you like Superman so much? All right, well, this is for Tommy a big fan of the single. I'm not sure about the sequel to the single where Jenny's back with a new attitude. That was a weird choice for you to put that one out.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Hey man, don't slag him off. He's a fan. I'm not slagging him off. I'm just giving constructive feedback. Do people in the market use that term, or is it just is that a very Northern Ireland thing? It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a European thing. I don't think we slagging off very much. Is it, is it European?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like, I wonder, does John know that? Because we say that a lot. And I wonder if, if slagging is, is a UK thing in general or just a Northern Ireland thing. Because, you know, we're a small nation. We have a lot of, like, curios and idiosyncrasies that we do that doesn't always translate. So whenever John comes back, we'll ask them that as well. Yes, we'll write that down. Yeah, I hope you're writing them down because.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Opinians on slagging off. Yes, perfect. So. All right. So it depends on how intensive an answer you want right now. How long can you talk for? I can talk for a bit. How much of time can you kill?
Starting point is 00:17:05 So, all right. So let's get into potentially uncomfortable waters. I am from a very not great environment. And I did not have any positive. Yeah. Right? I did not grow up with a positive male role model in my life. It was not from a vacancy.
Starting point is 00:17:28 They were just very terrible people. So what I did have was I had comic books that I would get at yard sales. And as, you know, I'm reading the various little odds and ins like issue here, issue there or whatnot. Superman was one that I just really like stuck with because he's a character. that is kind and optimistic and tries to find the best in people and the best in situations and kind of just showed me the kind of person I want to be. So that's kind of the reason, like, I like Superman not for like the powers or not for like the big storylines and stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's just more of like the persona that he has developed over the. 80 some years that he's been on on on earth in our consciousness yeah so so yeah that's really it is just this idea of like in Superman and the way that he interacts with the world around him and seeing the trying to see the best in people even people like you know like like a lex luther or a metallo and approaching things with empathy and kindness is just something that I just recognized as something that I wanted in myself. I think that's a good answer, you know, because I think that a lot of people do see that in Superman.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It's not just the power base, but it's the actual kind of the morals and the statue of a man that he is that kind of inspires other people, the goodness, the wholesomeness of that man. Yeah. You know? Yeah, and that's like you said, that was a big, a big factor for me is just, you know, his his best friend was the the kid photographer at the daily planet you know his his biggest fan is the burly you know tavern owner by the shipping yard who's kind of like comes across across as like a total brute but like it's just a genuinely nice person when you get past that you know the kid from the
Starting point is 00:19:38 middle of nowhere who moved to the city and kept those kinds of like that same all shucks kind of values to him. In a world that's very cynical and very cold, to be a source of warmth is something that I think is very important. He has a lot of optimism. Yes. And I think that's why to draw parallels between the comics world and the smart world, that's kind of why people would call it, well, not why, but in hindsight it's worked out why people would call John Cena, like Superman because they call him Superman originally because he kicked out of everything. He always won and he seemed to be all powerful. But in retrospect, when you look at it, he is Superman because he's eternally optimistic
Starting point is 00:20:28 and he's a good, wholesome boy. And he's always good. He's always like that beacon of innocence and wholesomeness that you kind of need, especially in the WWE where it's full of bastards. You know, there's all sorts of bad, bad boys running around there. Bad,
Starting point is 00:20:50 individuals. And John Cena was always that never give up kind of, you know, we're, today we're going to win kind of character. Yeah. So in retrospect,
Starting point is 00:21:02 it's funny, he's like super mount at two different levels, you know. So that's, that was a lovely answer. I hope. I hope that Tommy Tutton was satisfied with that answer. Do not email me again.
Starting point is 00:21:22 You know that song, 867309, that phone number, I think one of the places that phone number would direct to is like a junior high school in West Virginia. Right? It's wild. Why has he got the number of high school? Jenny, I want your number. Yeah. It's weird that he would have the phone number of high school. maybe we should
Starting point is 00:21:44 I mean he found it on a bathroom stall wall right well that's also creepy yeah are you calling this random person why didn't he phone the number before he wrote a song about it well and you know like that was probably
Starting point is 00:21:57 left by like a jealous ex-boyfriend who was wanting to humiliate her or just cause her an annoyance by having a bunch of strangers call her well now they had to change their fucking phone number yeah which
Starting point is 00:22:12 is an inconvenience. Yeah, it wreaks a havoc on stuff. Like you change your address or something. You have to remember every other place you've had your address listed. Yeah. There's a good way to be mischievous, though. It is. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Okay. So, would you like another question? Yeah, by all means. Okay. This one is from Donovan Clintly. I think that's what it says. A handwritten is terrible. Donovan Clintly.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And he asks, Fuck Murray Kill The Three Weird Guys From the Swamp Thing Animation Show Fuck Marry Kill The Three Weird Guys from the Swamp Thing Now I would argue that that wasn't a question But I'll let it stay
Starting point is 00:22:56 No no I'll let it slide So remember there was a snakehead There was a bug man And who was the third one So it was like what Dr. Zayas Who is the snake guy Weed Killer who was the bug guy
Starting point is 00:23:12 Kill him. Skin Man, the bat guy. The bad guy, that's who it was. I couldn't remember who the other one was. So, so I mean, if we're doing Fuck Marry Kill, I'm going to marry weed killer because he has a job, you know, and that's important.
Starting point is 00:23:26 He's going to bring an income into the family, and that's going to be successful. You're going to marry the fucking bug thing? He's got a job. Not anymore. Well, I mean, he already has all the equipment. He's going to go into freelancing as an exterminator. If you phoned up an exterminator,
Starting point is 00:23:42 an exterminator and said, come on over. And then that guy got out of the van. You'd be like, fuck you. You exterminate yourself. What are you doing? So, okay, let me throw this back at you then. Are you more than likely going to marry the snake guy or the bad guy? I would marry the bat guy. Why the bat guy?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Because he would, we could fly and. Well, see, I was going to say, I was going to say fuck the bat guy because his name is Skin Man. He's already like partway there. He could fly and so he could ride on his back and we could fly into the, the, the Moonlight and sing that song, Aladdin. I was going to say, like, never-ending story where you're, like, writing on Falco. No. Or Falco.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Not Falco. Falco wrote Amadeus and DeKamasar. You're not going to write him. No. In my scenario, we're riding on a magic carpet, but the magic carpet is him. And also, he is Jasmine. Or I am Jasmine. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:24:31 One of us is Jasmine. There's your thumbnail. But no, but it has to have both of us in it. Okay, yeah. Well, I'm not going to be the bat guy. So I'm the bat guy. And I'm Jasmine? Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:24:49 This is taking some of your turn. Well, yeah, do you want to be Jasmine or a bat guy? I'll be the bat guy. I'll happily be Jasmine. I know you will be. I'm happy to be Jasmine. You already got the long pretty hair. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I'm glad you noticed. Of course they did. And I guess killed the snake guy just because his arms and hands were so weird to look at. I would 100% kill the bug man. The bug man really disturbed you But I'm still looking at just like That is a man who has had a career He has a skill set that he knows he's good at
Starting point is 00:25:18 Obviously he's still very dedicated to it And yeah I just feel like I don't even know if he's employed Like they call him weed killer But like he that's the shit he could just do by himself You know what I mean? Like he just went home one day and ordered a kit off eBay and they were like I'll just do this my spare time
Starting point is 00:25:35 He's not good at it but he does it And everybody in the neighborhood knows it and they hate him for it. Like, here comes a weed killer, just spraying fucking illegal toxins over everything. Yes, it did kill the weeds. It also killed all of the animals in the vicinity. He's a pain in the ass.
Starting point is 00:25:48 We don't like him. Also, he's a fucking bug monster. That's also really frustrating to have to open your window and see that guy. Here he comes again with his toxic cloud of weird shit and also his bug face. This is not ideal. I went to the DC database that has an entry on the Swamp Thing television. series and it stated that Dr. Anton Arcane
Starting point is 00:26:12 transformed him into a leech like bog sucker monster. Are bog sucker is a thing? I don't know. Bog sucker. Google search. That sucks the actual bog? I'm getting responses of a bird.
Starting point is 00:26:29 That's called a woodcock. Ah, woodcock. Oh boy, that's a great name. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he's a henchmen of Dr. Arcane. So that, you know, that implies that there's a bit of employment there. I mean, I guess, but like, they probably don't get paid much. And like the, and then also, if he's getting paid for that, the other ones are also getting paid for that. So you
Starting point is 00:26:53 singling him out as the employed one, null and void. You know what you mean? See my logic here? I see your logic. Yeah. Marry the back guy. I guess I mean to have to fuck the snake then. Yeah. But hey, it's better. I'm going to say this. Put this on the record, which we are doing because this is recorded. This is recorded. I would rather...
Starting point is 00:27:17 I would rather fuck the snake guy than fuck the bug man. There you go. I said it. Can't take it back. I don't know. These descriptions are terrible because it's Dr. D. Dimo,
Starting point is 00:27:33 the snake-like voodoo doctor who is transformed into a fanged serpent monster. I don't know why we just can't say snake. Snake. Say snake twice. And Skin Man, who is a zombie-like man who got turned into a fanged bat. You mean a bat? As opposed to the defanged bats. Yeah, right? Jesus Christ. I don't like him being called Skin Man.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Yeah, that was his name, Skin Man. All men have skin. Weed killer, Dr. Debo, and Skin Man. See, that's why Dr. Debo was the... Who was he? Was he the snake? He's a snake guy. You wouldn't want to fuck a doctor? No, I see my brother's a doctor and I know how doctors and nurses are and that's a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Right, because you're not marrying him. Yeah, I know. You know what you mean? Good. But if you marry him, he already has a top hat. So he's already like partway there to the wedding. Boy, it's, you can't buy a top hat? Come on. No, I'm just saying he's already got it.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Wait, so wait, wait, what was your list then? I guess I'm going to kill the snake man because his arms distressed me. I'm going to marry Wheat Killer because he seems to have a history of employment. And I'm going to fuck Skin Man because he's already halfway there by the fact that he's showing the most skin out of all of them. Okay. Interesting. Can we move on for this question?
Starting point is 00:28:57 It feels like we're taking too much time on this. You didn't like this one? No, it's fine. I just feel like we've already touched on everything that can be touched upon. We covered it pretty succinctly. I think we did. Very thorough. Comments, please let us know what your fuck, Marikil, this would be.
Starting point is 00:29:13 We're very interested. Which of the unmen are your men? Yeah, let us know. Draw a picture of them. I did. Erotically. Rule 34 unmen. Oh, boy, Dylan. I'm going to look that up real quick.
Starting point is 00:29:28 No. I bet it doesn't exist. I bet it doesn't exist. Rule 34 unmen. There's no way somebody has done that. it's too obscure that's the rule of the internet why it's rule 34
Starting point is 00:29:41 I think this I think we find something that doesn't exist and the irony of us putting this on the internet it will be that now that we've said this somebody will hear this
Starting point is 00:29:49 and then create that art but in this there's a lot of swamp thing fucking poison ivy though Jesus Christ yeah well but is there
Starting point is 00:29:58 swamp thing fucking the bat I don't think so how many pages are there oh my god six I hope it's Jesus
Starting point is 00:30:10 I mean I'm glad that you're looking at this because I'm not Honestly there is Dylan I think you're right I think we broke I think we broke Rule 34 There is no unmen There's a lot of swamp thing
Starting point is 00:30:23 Fucking various DC characters But none of them are the unmen Until this episode goes out And some prick is going to create that And then tweet it out I got friends who I got friends who are artists Who may be listening go ahead draw some unman porn for us, please.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Have they made Sonic the Hedgehog porn? No, but I've told that story to enough people. It's like one of the funniest things of yours I've ever read, and it fucking killed me. You've mastered the art of repetition. What? You mastered the art of repetition. Oh, okay. Something is funny, and you keep repeating it, it gets funnier, and then it makes a loop where it stops being funny, but if you keep going, it'll get funny again.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah. You mastered it. Yeah. I really hammered it home. Sure did. Yeah, just like not. Like that's like, yep, just like 92 pages to sound of a hedgehog fucking. He's not, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's a attractive hedgehog.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Maybe we should move on. Probably. Maybe, maybe, maybe we've talked about cartoon porn long enough. Yeah, we probably, we've, we've, we've already broached the subject enough. Oh boy, Corey, I sure hope none of the questions that are coming up have had to do with cartoon porn. Wouldn't that be awkward? Who is that Donovan? Donovan? Donovan something. Donovan, great question. Donovan Quinkley, I think. Yep. Good job, Donovan. Thank you, Donovan. Although, like we said, it wasn't really a question. It was more of a weird. We could have just been making a statement. So you got to be careful with your questions. This is important. We're asking questions to Corey here. You know, please give the amount some respect. Yeah, for God's sake. All right, what's next?
Starting point is 00:32:02 Okay. Let me see. What is next? Okay, so this one is from Gloria Gravedigger, and she wants to know, who do you think is faster, Quicksilver, or the Flash? I think the Flash is faster just because the Flash is able to tap into the Speed Force, which allows, like, time travel and whatnot. Yeah. Quick Silver doesn't really have that ability. I mean, he can run really, really fast, obviously, but the Flash has that little bit extra that, you know, allows him to do all of the nauseatingly long list of superiors. superpowers that we discussed on the Kill the Flash episode. Okay, but what if you would imagine, and rightfully so, that the speed force thing doesn't exist?
Starting point is 00:32:45 Then it becomes a question of which flash are you talking about? Imagine you squished them all into one flash. I would imagine Wally West did still be faster than Quicksilver, but I could buy Quicksilver being faster than Barry Allen or Bart Allen or J. Garrick. Do you think Quicksilver is the fastest character in Marvel? I think so. This one was from me. I ad libbed this one. I think so.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Because the other speed characters are like speed, which is from the Young Avengers. And then North Star. Yeah. North Star is not faster than Quicksilver. Yeah, I think Quicksilver is probably the fastest of them. There can't just be three, right?
Starting point is 00:33:23 I think the only ones I can think of. Unless you want to go to like, was it squadron Supreme? Isn't there a character named Whizzer? There is a character called Whizzer. But I don't think Wizzer is faster. quicksilver. Because I remember that was on the animated Spider-Man. They met the old man, Wissor.
Starting point is 00:33:41 They definitely, yeah, Spider-Man definitely had an anime called the Wizard. No, it was like an old friend, like an old man. No. Wizard was a, he was an enemy, wasn't he? No, no, he was a friend. I'm pretty sure. Okay, anybody listening to this? Ally Spider-Man and Shield. He was a member of the six American Warriors. What, oh wait, what are you, what are you referencing?
Starting point is 00:34:05 This is this 90s Spider-Man animated cartoon. Right, but I mean in the comics, wasn't there a character called the wizard? There's the wizard, but this is a wizard. No, no, I'm pretty sure there was a character in comics. Hold on, got his powers on a trip to Africa after being bitten by a cobra and given a blood transfusion from a mongoose.
Starting point is 00:34:26 What? Yeah, there you go. Overly complicated. Yep. Also, I don't believe that's possible. Nope. I don't want to be that guy. That is some fucking comic with logic of like, well, what kills cobras?
Starting point is 00:34:41 Mongooses. Yeah, but then when they disbalance each other, right? I guess that's the goal. Oh, speed demon. I forgot about speed demon in Marvel. Speed demon. Yeah, he speaks. I think I still think Quicksilver is faster, though.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I feel like Quicksilver is faster than all the people we've named. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think he's faster in Wally, but he's definitely faster than the others. So you see the fastest flash? Yeah, Wally's the fastest flash. Has this been documented? It has been documented.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Okay, what speed? Like 50 miles an R? Let's see. 60? Wally West's top speed... 70 miles an hour. Jesus Christ. Post-crisis, Wally can run at a top speed of 15 undusillion miles per hour,
Starting point is 00:35:39 which is $850 billion, 850. million 845,750 times faster than the speed of light. No, it is it? That's not real. 8.936tillion miles per hour. He can run 24,826,6,690 miles within 10 picoseconds. What's a picosecond? Smaller than a second. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:36:08 So, yeah, Wally, it is well documented that Wally is the fact. Fastest. Real quick, while you're researching stuff, what speed does it say Quicksilver runs up? Let's see. Yeah, we should, we should fact check. This is why we're the most unbiased comics podcast in the internet. We fact check. Live fact checking on the show.
Starting point is 00:36:31 This is all, everything we say is 100% truthful, everything. All right, so we've got to clarify, is this Fox Quicksilver, X-Men Apocalypse Quicksilver, or Ultimate Universe Quicksilver? Ultimate Universe Quicksilver is apparently the fastest you can go at Mach 20. This fucking comics Quicksilver. Yeah, it says Quicksilver is comparatively slower than the Flash in every metric. He's got better hair, though. I would agree. Yeah, I think that style points, Quicksilver is probably better than the Flash.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah, he looks cooler. Which Flash had the hat? Oh, that's Jay Garrick, who would be the slowest of the flashes. Right, because he's the lamest of the flashes. The hat slows him down. It's not aerodynamic. Yeah, it was that 1940s flash. Stupid-looking hat.
Starting point is 00:37:22 You know, I don't want to call him a big stupid dumbass, but you know what? I'm going to. He's also the one that had like that lightning bolt rod that he would throw into the room to announce that he was coming. Right? But wait, wait, wait, because if he runs so fast, surely he would get into the room before the rod gets there. You would think. Yeah, I would think. What?
Starting point is 00:37:47 You would think. Doesn't that make sense. All right, what's your next question? Oh, well, I was really hoping we could just talk about the Flash. You really want to just talk about the Flash? It's very under character for you. Well, you know, maybe, okay. Let's move on.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Let's move on. Okay. So, what have we got here in the old? There's a lot of questions. I don't know if we're going to be able to get through all the questions. But let's pick one around them. Quentin Toaster wants to know, what was the first comic you ever bought? Oh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:28 So good question, Quentin. Thank you. It is a very good question. So the first comic I ever bought from a comic store or just in general? It's your choice? All right. So I got the first ones I can remember. actually owning. There was this big sort of collected like Batman comic from like the
Starting point is 00:38:50 1970s. It was a collection of stories of it was like the greatest loves of Batman's life and they were like featuring different stories of different like female characters he'd interacted with. So it was like the first appearance of poison ivy and catwoman and the original batwoman and like yeah, Vicki Vale. The Bugman from Swamp Thing. The bugman from Swamp thing. Yeah. But yeah, I remember like back girl was in there too, which is always really weird when I throw a back girl in there.
Starting point is 00:39:20 But yeah. The Joker was in there. Like, hello. Hey. What's that about it? It was a like Bugs Bunny dressing and drag to like trick Elmer Fudd situation. Yeah, but Batman's not falling for that. He knew it was a Joker, but he went with it anyway because he secretly loves the Joker.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yep. Also, it's not a secret. I mean, those bright red lips are just so enticing. I know. And his, his, you know, weirdly angular. face, how could you resist? You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:50 So, when did you get that Batman comic? I got it from like a, I think I got it from a yard sale when I was a kid. Do you know like kind of roughly like what age you were? Probably like five, maybe six. And do you think that like did that start you off on like a Batman
Starting point is 00:40:08 trip or like a comics trip? Um, I mean it definitely did because there are other comics that are in there. That's just the first one. Like I could think of. There was also this sort of this single issue Silver Surfer comic. There was a Defender's comic, which is really unique that also featured like all of these
Starting point is 00:40:26 really strange side stories with like occult characters like Barren Blood and Lee what's the name of Dr. Strange's apprentice who's like a big green bowl guy? Clea. Billy Gibbons.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Yeah, Billy Gibbons. of ZZ Top. He might have a question for his later. He might. But yeah, Cleo is in there. So there was like a couple of different like, it was just, you know, it was a great comic like garage sale assortment
Starting point is 00:40:55 of just random, random comics and issues. Nice. And after that, you're like, I like this Batman guy. Yeah. Rintra is his name. How fast can he run? I mean, he's a big green bull that casts magic.
Starting point is 00:41:14 So like 50 miles an hour. He could probably run kind of fast. If you could cast magic, you could cast yourself to run really fast. He apparently is in the last Doctor Strange movie. Is he? Yeah. I fucking saw the last Dr. Strange movie. Yeah, apparently he's in there.
Starting point is 00:41:35 What's what? What does he do? I mean, he's an apprentice at the, uh, the, uh, the magic. sanctuary as like training how to use magic. I don't remember that at all. Yeah, I mean, you would think that like you would remember a giant green minotaur guy, but you know. Yeah, I feel like I would. And I'm surprised that I don't.
Starting point is 00:42:02 But I think the trick with that is I don't think I'm that inclined to go back and watch that Dr. Strange film again. Yeah. I mean, it was fine. I didn't hate it. but I remember people thinking it was like a little too tame for something that was called multiverse of madness. Well, here's, did I talk about this on the show? Um, we were, yeah, we had so many, we had so many movies to get through on the Marvel thing that we did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:31 So it's totally understandable, like if you didn't get a chance to really go deep dive into it. Well, I had two opinions on it. One was like, it was directed by Sam Rimi. Yes. And I'm like, well, Going into it, me and my friend went to see it. We're both big fans of Sam Rimi and his work in the past. And we're like, okay, we both
Starting point is 00:42:52 were like, all right, we know what we're going to get here. Multiverse of Madness. We're going to see some really crazy wild, imagine of stuff. Loads of cool practical effects. Sam Rimi's a great guy for practical effects. You only mean? Yeah. Evil dead and shit. Like, it's going to be amazing. There was none of that.
Starting point is 00:43:08 It was like, Benedict Comerbatch on a green screen for like 90% of the film. which is fine, right? We know that Marvel do green screen work. Their CGI stuff looks amazing. But like, it felt kind of flat. We were like, we needed more of that kind of like visceral realness to it.
Starting point is 00:43:29 And also, it wasn't very multiversal. We were both very surprised that they didn't really seem to cross a whole lot of multiverses. Yeah. I know the scene everybody talked about was Wanda. killing off the Illuminati. Yeah, which is funny, so. But probably not as it would be funny. But like a few months later,
Starting point is 00:43:55 a film came out called Everything Everywhere all at once. Yeah, actually, we did talk about this because you mentioned the same thing. Like, you and John talked about the same thing about how that felt like it should have been a movie called Multiverse of Madness. Have you seen that film? I have not, but I've seen enough films.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I have enough, like, things about it and clips of it that I've picked up. a lot of the gist. You got to see that film. I love that film. I'm like, that's exactly what Dr. Strange should have been. It's perfect. It's really like heartbreaking. It's got the right amount of like funniness and also like realness. It's strange and beautiful and surreal and just just a great time. I was really surprised how good it was. And I'm like, that's what I thought Dr. Stranger be. And it's
Starting point is 00:44:41 it's really good. Really, really, really good. It's probably my favorite film that year. I think it was 2022. And it was really good. But I because there's a lot of dimension hopping and world traveling and that.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Different perspectives, I should say. You know what you mean? You see different universes. And I find that I feel like they handle that subject. better. It's funny that two fucking films came out where they were talking about hopping universes
Starting point is 00:45:13 and one of them was a comics thing where that happens a lot but it was a team in comparison. Yeah, and one of them wasn't a comics thing and blew it out of the water. It was just pure imagination and like you know, somebody wrote that but not in the context
Starting point is 00:45:32 of a comic or as comics as a reference they just came up with that idea. and it's fucking great. So this is me taking on the genre role and trying to... Yeah, because I don't watch a whole lot of films.
Starting point is 00:45:50 So if I do watch a film when I say it's fucking great, you know, you guys should listen. There you go. High endorsement for me. Mr. doesn't watch films. Mr. doesn't watch anything. I don't watch anything.
Starting point is 00:46:04 You know? It give me one second. You can have one. One sec. I'll keep talking. I'll bump. Are you keep vamping? Yeah. You don't have to cut this, but I'll just keep like, you know, deal my bit. So we talked about films right there. We're going to talk some more about comics
Starting point is 00:46:21 probably. I mean, I'm going to have to check the big list that we have. We got a lot of, a lot of questions. A lot of questions that we're not going to be able to get time to ask Corey, I'm afraid, because he's a busy man. I'm a busy man. We both have lives. and we both do a lot of important things. I know Corey plays the stock market a lot. He's very good at that. At the moment, I believe he's trying to earn a billion dollars in the stock market.
Starting point is 00:46:46 And I believe in him. I think he can do it. Corey, I think you can make a million dollars in stock market. Oh, God, fingers crossed, right? Yeah, I think you can do it. You know, I believe in you. And what more do you need except for my belief? And also for the stock market to go the way you want it to.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Those are the only two things you need. Are you out of questions? No. How can I have you out of questions, Corey? I said I had tons of questions. So many questions, we're not even going to get into all of the questions. Fair enough. At the moment.
Starting point is 00:47:22 But let me look through the rule of decks of questions that I have. Okay. I have one here from Peter Dinklage. I assume it's not that Peter Dinkley. Yeah, no relation. Yeah, it's probably a different one. If it is the same one, thank you for listening to the show. He wants to know what your favorite kind of chocolate is.
Starting point is 00:47:46 I can't have chocolate because I'm allergic to it. Well, you fucked that one up here, Dinklage. That was your one shot. You could ask Corey, anything you wanted. You really fucked it up, buddy. Oh, if I could ask a question real quick, though, um, to you see the to you did you see the trailer for the new captain america that just came out no when did they come on just this morning no all right because we get to see harrison ford
Starting point is 00:48:18 no but you get to see harrison ford is he can't america you see um captain america no no it's still uh sam wilson okay and like harrison ford plays uh general thunderbolt ross but he seems to now be the president of the United States. Oh. They made a joke about him shaving the mustache off because he was played by a different actor in the
Starting point is 00:48:45 MCU. Is that because Harrison Ford couldn't be bothered to grow a mustache? Absolutely not. He does not give a shit about anything. That's why I enjoyed about him. He doesn't give a shit about anything. He's a wild character. Do you think they're going to do the Red Hulk? Oh, no, it's in there. That's like
Starting point is 00:49:04 the last thing you see is Red Hulk. Oh, cool. So I predicted the trailer accurately. You did. Sweet. That was the big reveal. At the end of the trailer, you see Thunderbolt, you see the Red Hulk catch Captain America shield and throw it into the ground. Do you think Harrison Ford's going to do the motion capture for it? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:49:28 There's a scene in the trailer where they, where like, he's getting shot at and he falls to the ground. I'm like, that's a stunt double there, because Harrison Ford's 80-something years old. And he can't follow her. No, I wouldn't trust him to. Now, he got cast because William Hurt died a couple of years ago. And he was who, better what Ross was. They can see GI that stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I mean, that's what they're doing with Harrison Ford's face because he's not doing the mocap, that's for sure. They have AI technology. Yeah, Harrison Ford is 81 years old. They have AI technology that can mimic people's. voices, they can just bring that guy back from the dead. He is 81 years old. And he still kicks us. He sounds
Starting point is 00:50:12 like a cement truck full of gravel when he talks. Okay. A cement truck's full of gravel don't really talk a whole lot. It's just San Wilson. It's Captain America. We're bringing in to be a part of the government.
Starting point is 00:50:28 But doesn't that sound like a good Thunderbolt Ross? It doesn't sound articulate. but he sounds like an army general I would just be worried at this point of casting Harrison Ford in anything because he looks like he could die
Starting point is 00:50:43 at any moment but that would be fitting because the last guy died right maybe maybe they just have Sam Elliott played now Sam Elliott played Thunderbolt Ross in a previous Hulk movie as well
Starting point is 00:50:56 he would have been pretty good he was in the Ang Lee Hulk as Thunderbolt Ross he was fine I don't know why they just didn't, they just didn't try to go back that route again. I think because they were just trying to get rid of that whole film, right? Just trying to ignore it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Like this, this is, this was not good. I just remembered like, um, there was a big, there was a big joke about Red Hulk because Thunderbolt Ross always had a mustache. And when he transformed into Red Hulk, it, uh, disappeared. Yes. They, they addressed the fact as a different actor playing or whatever by, having Harrison Ford joke about like, shaved off the mustache for the election.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Because historically people don't trust presidents with mustaches. Yeah, I guess not. Who was the last president on the mustache? The last moustacheod president. Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I'm going to guess and say it was Teddy Roosevelt. There were some people after Teddy Roosevelt. With a mustache? With a mustache, yes. Probably Taft.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Was Taft after Roosevelt? Yes. I know four presidents. Yeah, so yeah, it was the last moustachioed president was Taft. And he was president from 1909 to 1913. Okay. Not been a president with a mustache at over 100 years. Because people don't trust them.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Because before then it was Teddy Roosevelt. I was close. Cleveland, yeah, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison had a beard. Beard doesn't kind. Beard isn't a mustache. Chester McArthur had some sweet-ass sideburns. James Garfield had a beard.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Rutherford B. Hayes had a beard. Sideburns is kind. The West Sideburns is kind. Abraham Lincoln had a beard without a mustache. That's the reverse. That's double. That's not what we're talking about. Martin Van Buren and John Quincy Adams
Starting point is 00:52:59 have those big ass sideburns. No sideburns. get rid of the sideburns. The mutton chops, man. Just huge ones. Don't like them. Didn't work for Sam Punk. Didn't work for Presidents.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I thought they worked for Sam Punk. They did not work for Sam Punk. You disagree? Okay. That's fair. I do not think that was a good look. He looks good, no, though. I would agree.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Yeah. So, yeah, no, so we have Thunderbolt. We have Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America. He's got a big mustache. and one of the trailer one of the promotional posters is the Red Hulk hand
Starting point is 00:53:40 grabbing and bending the Captain America shield interesting yeah do you think they're going to do Hulk versus Hulk hard to tell just because I don't know
Starting point is 00:53:53 how much Mark Rufelo's heart is into doing this stuff anymore I mean it's a cushy job right it's a cushy job yeah I just don't I have not cared for anything they did with the Hulk after that single movie with,
Starting point is 00:54:09 oh God, I can't remember his name now. It saved my life. Ed Norton? Edward Norton? Yeah, Edward Norton. Yeah, I didn't care for the Mark Rufelo Hulk stuff. I don't like Smart Hulk, to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Okay. Yeah, just never care for it. That's funny, because I kind of did. Yeah? I like the idea of a Smart Hulk. I mean, I get the dichotomy of, you know, with smart Bruce Banner and dumb Hulk. Like that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:54:40 They transform into like literal opposites of each other. Yeah. But I always thought that there was like an interesting kind of dynamic with the Hulk being smart. Because the Hulk being dumb is tricky because it's like, well, it's like a runaway train. You know what you mean? Like how do you deal with this guy? He's just going to run and smash you up. But the idea of somebody being.
Starting point is 00:55:06 that strong and also being incredibly smart seems like a really good um uh like how do you how do you beat that guy you know what you mean like um yeah you though in the past of this the stupid Hulk you could just like calm him down or like trick him somehow because he's an idiot but then if he's smart you're like well how do you stop this guy he's probably thinking steps ahead of you you know maybe he's um that were like I um did you ever read the onslaught stuff I'm familiar with the onslaught stuff I don't remember I know you wanted to do like episodes we talked about big storylines yeah we should do an onslaught one yeah I love I love the onslaught and there's a
Starting point is 00:55:54 a comic a Hulk comic that's part of onslaught where all of the heroes are gathered in Central Park because they're going to try and beat up onslaught and Hulk they're all trying to come about plans and the Hulk's like, I got a plan. This is like Smart Hulk where he can talk and he's like, listen man, you guys are idiots, I'm the Hulk, I can figure this out. So he decides to,
Starting point is 00:56:19 he gets a couple of other guys with him and he comes up with a plan where he's just going to tunnel underneath instead of like going straight head on into onslaught, he's going to tunnel underneath the onslaught and surprise attack him, jump off and creep him out. and he does just
Starting point is 00:56:37 he tunnels all the way through and then pops up finds on stock catches him unaware like beats him up just destroys him so he's like using the smarts and using the strength and he's like
Starting point is 00:56:48 you see that wasn't that hard and he kind of like makes fun of his other the other heroes while he does it he's like only I'm this smart you guys are idiots Captain America with a dork
Starting point is 00:57:00 you know I'm the fucking king around here and then like the background fades away like an illusion and he's still in the base camp and it turns out the onslaught
Starting point is 00:57:16 just knew that Hulk was coming and made him hallucinate that whole trip and made him confess that he thought he was smarter than all of the other heroes and so then they're like one it psychologically weakens a Hulk and two, it makes all the other heroes distrust the Hulk.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I'm like, that's a fucking great issue. That's great, because that shows you what you can do with a smart Hulk. You know what you mean? Because he's still arrogant. He still thinks he's the Hulk. And it shows, but it also shows what kind of a heel, Onslaught is. It really puts him over, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:57 And I'm like, this is good stuff, man. Now, didn't they bring back, like, Onslaught for that, schism, but one of those Marvel events that was undone very quickly. It was not schism. It was um, oh, what the fuck did they call it?
Starting point is 00:58:15 Axis. Axis. Yeah. I hated that. They brought him back with like with red skull. Red skull. Yeah. Yeah. I hated that man. Because the thing I loved by Ons thought is when you read it all, it's, it's you know, it's it's the same shit that we love in pro wrestling. they build them up
Starting point is 00:58:35 they build them up as a legit fucking threat and then they find a way to logically take this threat down and it all made sense I really like that to bring him back it's one of those things
Starting point is 00:58:49 you're like you have to be really careful with this I think it's a little bit like doomsday and that if you bring it back you have to be really careful because he was specifically designed for this one storyline and he got over really big in that one storyline
Starting point is 00:59:02 so to bring him back you have to be really careful with how you approach. You can't just approach this guy like you approach any other fucking dick. You know what you mean? Yeah. You need to be smart about that. And I think a lot of people didn't. They were just like, oh, I like onslaught.
Starting point is 00:59:15 I like Dumesay. Here we go. And then they bring it back and it's diminishing returns. It's never as good as the first time because they don't know how to do it as big and as impactful as the first time. So they actually brought on stop back twice. I believe they brought on stuff back in, Krakawa
Starting point is 00:59:35 As far as I know there was a big storyline with Onslaught and Krakawa And I'm like While that kind of makes sense It also doesn't make any sense Yeah I would agree So what you mean Like
Starting point is 00:59:52 Crocoa is already such a There's already a very important ongoing storyline happening in Krakawa You can't make Oh it's over now though Right So by consequence So is an onslaught bit?
Starting point is 01:00:05 Because you can't have onslaught being the bit player in a grander scheme. You what he mean? If you bring it back, he's the storyline. He can't be part of the storyline that gets you towards the end of the Krakowen story. Do you what he mean? Doesn't work. Yeah. You can't have Roman Reins being like a bit part player in a different storyline.
Starting point is 01:00:30 The storyline is Roman Reins. it's either Roman Reins or you don't put Roman Reins on TV right you what you mean but like you can't have Roman Reins come back and then be a bit part player in Kurt Angles return or whatever
Starting point is 01:00:45 you know what I mean that just doesn't make any fucking sense and it's the same here like don't you can't use a guy that's a gone slot who's a supposed to be a huge gigantic threat and use them as a bit part player doesn't work and that's what I felt like
Starting point is 01:00:59 what happened with that Axis thing they kind of cobbled together the red skull as Onslaught and then the real storyline was that they switched to heroes and villains around so the villains were heroes
Starting point is 01:01:16 and heroes are villains right? That's the storyline. Onstot's not the storyline so you're like well you fucked it that's that's you could have got there at a different way surely right
Starting point is 01:01:28 you know what I mean? Anyway, I kind of got off on a bit. That's okay, I asked. Well, you know, I've been asking you so many questions. Yeah, it's really fair. Yeah, nice to be asked a question, too. You know what you mean? Yeah, so the Wolverine and Deadpool movies coming out soon.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Yes. Probably when this episode comes out, it's already been out for at least a week. Yeah. I saw a clip where they brought back the guy from the first X-Men. movie is Sabretooth. Yes. That's pretty cool. Really good.
Starting point is 01:02:05 I appreciate, of anything, that Madonna's like a prayer is getting rotation again. That's a good song. You don't like, like a prayer? So, so Dylan, I hear your voice. It's like an angel sighing. I hear your voice.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I have no choice. So it's only three-siders. that gets you to sing? No, I'll sing for anything, really. That's good to know. Yeah. That's good to know. Do you want to sing John's song
Starting point is 01:02:49 next time he's on? I'll sing John a song. I don't know when the next time he's going to be on, though. This one of the world trap is probably going to take him a long time. Especially he's getting chased by the Undertaker. Well, maybe he'll get to finish quicker if he's been chased by the Undertaker.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Maybe. Undertaker's just in the background taping his fists. You know what? I'm sure Sean Michaels drops a belt. Here's the thing. If it's the Undertaker, like if he's Undertaker on the motorbike, sure. But if his Undertaker just walking, dude, John's got a head start. Yeah, that entrance is going to take a couple minutes.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Have you seen The Undertaker get to the ring? It takes for fucking ever. John's good. John's fine. If he's not on the bike, John's all right. And if he is on the bike, just like put spike strips down and pop the tires. You know what I mean? John's a smart guy.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I think you'll be able to figure out how to beat up the Undertaker and win this race around the world. I have faith. Just like George Michael. You've got to have faith. I have faith that John will be able to beat The Undertaker in a around the world race. And I have faith that you are going to win a billion dollars on the stock market. You know, and I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body because I know that everybody's got a body like me. I don't know if you want you touch in my body.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Baby Is that controversial to say? I feel like no, I did that that's fair. I mean, listen, man, I'm okay with it, but my bat husband is really angry about the idea of other men touching me. He doesn't like it. He's not a fan, not a fan. He's really jealous, you know, he gets the big eyes, you know. I have an open relationship with my bug husband.
Starting point is 01:04:31 It's fine. That's weird. Right? But he's got so many hands. I can't keep him satisfied. The idea that anybody else would want to fuck him is bizarre. The idea that we're having this conversation in 2024, I feel like it puts us in an exclusive club that people who are still talking about
Starting point is 01:04:49 swamp thing and in this particular manner. I love how this is the second time this has come up. And organically at that. Oh, boy. I got to go ahead and end it. What do you think? I feel like we got a little bit more time left in us. Oh, you want more questions, huh?
Starting point is 01:05:11 Yeah. Oh, no, it's already 10 over there. You said that 10 was your hard stop, right? Yeah. All right, well, yeah, we've already gone past that. Oh, yeah, way past it. Yeah, so go ahead and we'll call it. Wait, so what?
Starting point is 01:05:25 You want to call it now or you want to? No, we'll call it now. Okay, so no more questions. Oh, it's a shame. It's so many questions that I had to ask, but, you know, Maybe in the next episode. Maybe in the next episode. And who knows, you know, John may be back or we might just be the two of us again talking about cartoons.
Starting point is 01:05:44 We've done a couple already. This is our third one. Yeah, three of us just me and you. We don't even need John. No, we don't. We don't even need him. No, I have a friend who's listening to our episodes and they said that John sounds like he's like done with us. I'm like, no, I think that's just how he sounds.
Starting point is 01:06:01 I mean, that's why he fucked off around the world. Yeah, right. I've got better stuff. Shout out to Shelley on that one. Is Shelly going to come on the show? I don't know. That'd be a good question. I'd ask She was telling me that with her job as a court stenography,
Starting point is 01:06:20 she has to wear this like Bain like mask. I don't quite know how that works, but that's comic book related. Why? So nobody recognizes her? Maybe.

Dylan, you're on Exploity Plays, potentially have some episode of Pickman. up at this point. Well, let's be honest, dude. I thought I would. I don't. I don't know when.

Starting point is 01:07:56 episode of Bullseye? Because my friend Corey demands that, I played it. It was so funny. No matter where you pointed that goddamn Wii mode and still went to the same spot. I always went to the same spot.
Starting point is 01:08:07 What the fuck, man? If you want to follow John on Letterbox, it's Big John Bowsky. John is probably our most informed movie person here. He knows a ton and is so kind and generous and patient with us.
Starting point is 01:08:23 And I feel like the episodes where he's not around, you can really tell. He's a wonderful man. Well, hang on a minute, though. Well, you don't think this one was a work of art Yeah, no, I think it was certainly art, but, you know, Dada is a movement
Starting point is 01:08:36 where it looks like nonsense from the outside. We talked about fucking a bug man for a long time. Got so many hands. He knows how to use them. Certainly does. A little pinchers. He's got a big mark. Big long tongue. It's always hanging out for some reason.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Maybe I'll be able to... No, really good in. Anyway, I hope you folks enjoy. Have a great one out there. Goodbye. Thank you for the questions, by the way.

Goodbye. there he is from beyond the grave is John dead did the Undertaker kill him I mean the Undertaker's dead and he's chasing John Oh that's true John is currently in a canoe

Starting point is 01:09:58 no we all know about him he's no longer in character all the time anymore yeah doesn't wear the hat he doesn't wear the hat that's where that's what matters is the hat yeah as a hat wearer the hat matters yeah you're always wearing that hat i it gets it got remarked upon to a degree at work that when i stopped wearing it to work it was getting comments about really so that's okay because i i keep drawing you with the hat because the one no it's usually on the one big you sent me you had a hat on so I'm like, well, that's what Corey looks like. No. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:31 You're honestly, people are like, I don't know what Corey looks like these days. And it's like, it's that, but I have a beard. Oh, do you want to start putting a beard on you? That's your call. You're the artist. Would that confuse people? Artist, artist is a real strong. All right.
