Starting point is 00:00:00 Good to see you. It's nice to talk to you guys. It's been so long. It's been seven days. Yeah, it's been a clean week, essentially. A week. A week. And so welcome to Spark Avengers.
Starting point is 00:00:13 My name is Corey with me or Dylan and John. How's it going, guys? Hi. Hello. Pretty good. Pretty good. No complaints on our end whatsoever, except for John, who doesn't have the crisps that I have,
Starting point is 00:00:27 because I'm very privileged man. Yes, I'm very angry about this. You should be. You should be very angry about this. You should talk to your local council and say, we got to get these crisps. Corey, you're going to do this too. You got to get these crisps. So today we are going to be doing another one of our auctions.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Rules are going to be the same. Everybody gets 100 pounds. We go through listed names and we bid to determine who's going to assemble the better team. We are not going to necessarily be limiting ourselves to the number this time, but this go around, we are making our own Sinister Six. So every name that you will hear is going to be a Spider-Man villain of some variety. And we've decided to change up a little bit because the last two times we've done auctions, I have to be the one to read the names.
Starting point is 00:01:17 So I know what's coming up next in the batting order. And that kind of gave me an unfair advantage because I knew when to save my money. However, I'm using a website called Wheel of Names, and we have entered in a list of all of these character names, and we are going to, as they would in WCW, spin the wheel and make the deal, where whatever it lands on is going to be our next person up for auction, and we'll go that way. So another big difference, guys, is there are 32 names. However, we're only going to be drafting 22 people. So there is 10 names on this list we will not hear. And because this is a spin of a wheel and entirely random, there might be some big names that we're missing out on, like Venom or Dr. Octopus or the Green Goblin.
Starting point is 00:02:05 All right. So if you guys would like to start or any thoughts before we spin the wheel. I'm really excited, man. I think this is going to be like a fun. I like the idea of a spin the wheel. I really like that. I think it's like a fun thing. Are you guys ready to spin?
Starting point is 00:02:24 Spin that fucking ass wheel. All right. Our very first name is the Sandman. So Samman's going to come off the list. I got the comic vine window open so you guys can see all this stuff as well. We're going to pull up his entry in Marvel Comics. We're talking about Saman from Spider-Man. Yep.
Starting point is 00:02:45 This is not Morbius. Not Morbius. It's also not the, 1930s JSA Sandman. Which is also in the Morpheus Bill. Yes. All right. So Sandman, our little blurb is
Starting point is 00:03:01 the former enemy of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. Sandman reformed after realizing he was unhappy with his life. He joined the Avengers and later Silver Sables Wild Pack. He eventually returned to crime after being brainwashed by the wizard, but sometimes still displays the desire to better himself. Very famously portrayed by
Starting point is 00:03:18 Thomas Hayden Church in Spider-Man 3. I loved him. He was the best thing about Spider-Man 3. Yes. I don't know if this is controversial. Thomas in Church was the best part of Spider-Man 3. That is not controversial at all. Good man.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Thank you very much. So for that reason, I'm going to put out, open a bit of 10 pines. 10? Jeez. That's a good start. So real quick, for those who are uninitiated, the Sandman has the ability to essentially turn his body into sand and control. sand itself. He can make himself massive. He can make himself small.
Starting point is 00:03:54 He can make weapons out of his hands made of sand. There's that one really weird comic where he fills up Spider-Man's body and then kills him. Doesn't do that, though. He doesn't do that, though. He doesn't do. He has the potential to do that, but he doesn't do that. Yeah, it's a little too much even for him. His first appearance was in The Amazing Spider. Number four, Nothing Can Stop the Sandman, and he has appeared in 1,275 issues. I love how they said nothing. It's up. the Sunman and then 2,000 issues later you're like some things can't stop the
Starting point is 00:04:25 Sandman. Saman can be stopped. Yes. And in retrospect, he's definitely being able to be stopped. So I put out... I'm going to say 10, 10, 10 points right now. I'll go 11. John?
Starting point is 00:04:42 I don't know if I want to spend this much on the Sandman. For the Sandman. Dude, the Sunman's a gas man. He's a good man. I know, but... You don't want to spend 10 points on the Sandman? Well, I'd have to spend his own. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:58 He's awesome. Yeah. He can fill your lungs full of sand. No, it's all right. You're saving your money for a swarm, right? Oh, absolutely. Lugs with bees. There's some real bangers on this list, by the way.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I'm looking at this list. I'm like, oh, boy. We got some real, like, out of, uh, surprise us right here. But, like, at the sound that I go with, like, a quality, like classic villain. People know the Sandman. Like you said, he was on the film. We know the Sandman.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Never in the animated series, though. Not the 90s series. I think he was in the 2000s animated series, though. Yeah. The one with the, yeah, yeah. So anyway, right now the bidding is at 11. John, if you're not going to go, I'll go 15. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:05:51 All right. I'm going to back out of the Sandman. You can't I get the sound number 15 Yeah So going once Twice sold to Dylan Dylan I have to say
Starting point is 00:06:04 This is the most aggressive You've come out on an auction Because very famously For several rounds You only had Bishop for three In the X-Men And then you didn't have anything For a hot minute
Starting point is 00:06:15 I got a fucking score I got Bishop for like nothing Dude the sound man I might throw you one The thing to sound The coolest shit villain. You can put sound in your fucking lungs. This is, wheels is going to get spun 21 more times.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah. I don't give a shit. What are I going to get? The camera. That's my goal. That's my goal. I'm going to get, I wanted like a symbol of team of jobbers.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I want to come out of this auction with 90 left. So I'm already, what did I say? I'm at 15. 15, right? Yeah. What, 85? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. That's, I could get Dr. Octopus for that. There you go. Are you guys ready to spin the wheel? again. Yes. Spin the wheel, bitch.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Makata. I really wish you could hear the sounds is making. It's pretty phenomenal. I can't. Oh. All right. Our second on the list up is the kingpin,
Starting point is 00:07:15 Wilson Fisk. That's a good one. Let me bring up his bio real quick. Yes. Please tell us about what the king pin is done to the Spider-Man. All right. The kingpin is a super villain originating for Marvel comics, the self-proclaimed kingpin of crime. Wilson Fisk is one of the most prominent figures of organized crime in the United States.
Starting point is 00:07:36 He's the king of the mobsters controlling organized crime on the East Coast with an iron fist. He's a major enemies of superhero Spider-Man and Daredevil. Wilson Fisk very famously, does he have powers? Yes or no? Or is he just a big dude? He's just a big, strong dude. He's strong. He's strong. Yeah. There's some kind of like superhuman strength. But really it's human.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I think it's just it's just peak of resilience. He's like strong like Yeah I mean the comic vine says super strength but I don't buy that. I think he's just you know.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I feel like he has some sort of like resilience and like strength like being hit and being able to hit people. I think he has some kind of like resilience to him. You know? No.
Starting point is 00:08:22 John does not believe it. I think he's just a big. Tough guy. But he's a big man. He can take hits from Spider-Man. Spider-Man has the strength of like 10 guys. So like if he can take a punch with Spider-Man. But he admits that he pulls his strength when he's fighting people.
Starting point is 00:08:36 He only gives him enough to knock him out. He might have to really pull from this. He admits he pulls the points of for some people. If he's hitting the king pin, he's hitting the kingpin. You got to believe he's hit the king-pin, man. Well, then they didn't they address that in like the Civil War, like after the fall of civil war, like where he got his revenge on King's pin by humiliating him in front of other prisoners. We have talked about this
Starting point is 00:08:58 entire Civil War business a couple of times. Did we talk about Civil War in total? I don't think we did. I think we talked about the Spider-Man revealing his identity, but I don't think we've ever done a deep dive on Civil War. Well, no, we talked about the Spider-Man bit. Yeah. In Civil War. And none of us
Starting point is 00:09:15 were super happy butter, so. So I was less happy at Civil War, too, but that should be a whole episode as well. Yeah, that's a whole thing. That's a whole thing. All right, so real quick, while we are still debating on whether or not Wilson Fisk has augmented strength or not, really his biggest powers are his connections in New York City crime and else, you know, like higher society. He's very intimidating. He's incredibly wealthy. And yeah, I mean, he's the kind of guy that if you want something done, you just has to point at it and tell someone to do it.
Starting point is 00:09:47 But he's strong. Yeah. So his first appearance. Like his physical strength is very good. So his first appearance was in the Amazing Spider-Man number 50 Spider-Man No More, and he has appeared in 2024 issues. So a little bit more than Sandman. So we're going to start the bidding at I'll start the bidding at three, five, six, eight, eight, nine. All right, those are nine. John's at ten.
Starting point is 00:10:30 John? All right, ten once. 10 twice Come on now Kingpin goes to John for 10 Hell yeah Hang whoa Whoa
Starting point is 00:10:40 John said 10 Yeah John said 10 And Corey you're not interested No no I'm good Remember I told you I have a plan And it's all terrible characters For the kingpin though Yeah no that's the problem
Starting point is 00:10:54 Is I'm saving my money for other names on here That you can probably guess I'm gonna go 11 All right I've already one What? Hang on. Yeah, he already won. It ended.
Starting point is 00:11:05 No, he said once and twice. You did say three times. I think that I did say three times. Well, then that's fine. John, John and Hobart. Okay. Do you really want to spend 25 pounds on the,
Starting point is 00:11:18 between the first two? Because like, Dylan, that's speed running. I'm trying to do the best. I'm sorry, the hedgehog, man. All right. All right, John. So, for record,
Starting point is 00:11:30 I've got Simon, John. Kingpin pretty good. Not bad. Not bad. Corman went for a little bit more. I'm coming up. You can't get all goblins. Listen, man. You're not going to get all goblins. Well, considering there's only two goblins on the list. No, I cannot get all goblins. Let's go ahead though. Are you guys ready to spin it for the third time?
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yes. Well, how much did John spend on that? 10 pound. 10? Okay. It's right at dime so I know. All right. Our third choice is Dr. Octopus. Wow. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh, dear. Out of the gate. Oh, this is going to be nasty. This wheel business is fucking great, by the way. This is tough. I thought it was going to be the big wheel. Yeah, it looked like big wheel for a second, didn't it? Oh, I could have got the big wheel for a steel, but not today.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But to be fair, though, I think of me and John would have had a fight. over the big wheel. But now we're going to have a fight over Dr. Octopus. Dr. Octopus is a super villain originating for Marvel Comics, a former nuclear physicist and atomic researcher. Otto Octavius has life changed forever when one of his experiments went horribly wrong, involving his four mechanical appendages used to assist him his experiments. From then on,
Starting point is 00:12:51 Octavia soon after his initial encounter has become one of the most dangerous supervillains in the Marvel universe. So obviously... I love high... Obviously, you have to, like, tell people, we run down, but to tell people a run down of Dr. Octopus
Starting point is 00:13:06 for Spider-Man villains is a bit, like, he's the best, man. This is tough, man, because I know John's going to be competing for him. I love Dr. Octopus. This is going to be a tough one. This is going to be a real tough one. I'm going to say five right off the bat.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Okay. Real quick, though, as everybody, if you're not initiated, Dr. Octopus has four mechanical arms. that sort of almost acted independently of him. And he's a fucking octopus. He's also incredibly intelligent and has successfully thwarted Spider-Man by changing consciousness with him and spending a period of time as the superior Spider-Man. Actually talked about this and like, was it the last episode or like? Very recently.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah, very recently we had a whole superior. Very recently. Yeah, it was one of our best deaths episode, I believe. The best deaths. Indeed. So if it's best, you got to be going to imagine he's. going to be really good at being alive. Dr. Octopus debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man number three and has appeared in 2,502 issues since his debut.
Starting point is 00:14:13 All right, John, what do you think? You put down five already, right? I put five. I'll put down 10. 15. 16. 17? 18.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's getting a bit too spicy. 18 going once? It's a spicy man. 18 going twice. He loves spicy. He loves eating your restaurants. Looks like Dylan, you have picked up Dr. Alpuis for 18.
Starting point is 00:14:46 So, Dylan, you are now at Sandman and Dr. Octopus. You have a very classic Sinister Six lineup starting. Yes, I do. I have the ultimate lineup. And John, you have Wilson Fis currently.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Mm-hmm. Yes. Oh, Corey, what do you have right now? Real quick. Listen, it's coming. It's coming. I've got a plan. I've got a plan.
Starting point is 00:15:16 What is your plan? Like the kangaroo, the spot. Like, don't put my spot. I love the spot, man. I'm going to make a big play for the spot. With what money? If I hadn't spent all my money on Dr. August, I would have made a big play for the spot.
Starting point is 00:15:32 So real quick, John, do you want to run down the remaining balances? So I have 90 pounds left to spend. Dylan has 67 pounds left to spend. Whoa. And Corey has 100 pounds left to spend. Very different from the first time we did this. Yes, yeah. Very different.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I'm happy, dude. Dr. Octopus is one of my favorite guys in comics history. Like, I love Dr. Octopus. I'm so glad I got him. So I got a steel, man. 18 pounds?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Like, that's a fucking steal. we'll see oh will we oh is that what's going to happen so our first three spins of the wheels we got three heavy hitters with the sandman and wilson fisk and dr octopus are you guys ready to spend the wheel for the fourth time let's do it what do we got spot oh all right our fourth pick is the big wheel I'll put up one eye well hold on let's get let's get his bio red no he's a big wheel we know what he's a bite he's a big wheel up a one eye all right jackson wheel is a villain who travels around through means of a giant wheel he himself created hence the name big wheel his powers are he's very smart in big wheel was jackson wheel and he also was called the big wheel Yep. That was nice. So he debuted in the Amazing Spider-Man number 182.
Starting point is 00:17:16 The Rocket Racer is back in town and has appeared in 47 issues since his debut. What? Just 47. My God. All right. John, Dylan, you have one. I said one. I'll go three.
Starting point is 00:17:35 The big wheel? Yep. I don't know. What do you think, John? Uh, I don't want the big wheel on my team. I mean, I did, but for three, I don't know. I've always spent. You spent a good bit.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Let me look at my team. All right, real quick. The sound man. Dr. Octopus. Big wheel. You know what I mean? One of those things isn't quite like. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Maybe I'll kind of like, well, Corey, do a little run down on the big wheel, if you will. he was a big man for Spider-Man and you see he was like a hundred issues or whatever like 40-47 not 100 7 this bit's bananas why we're seeing so many issues he's just a fucking big wheel and he has an on-panel death
Starting point is 00:18:30 in Deadpool and the Merck's for money number four he has a lot of on-pound deaths I think yeah yeah I'm Corey what did you say what was you said three three I'm gonna I think we're gonna give it to you I'm not willing to go higher than you're not going to four big wheel I like to be far I love the big wheel
Starting point is 00:18:51 but like I said I've already got a pretty good roster I think if you look at like the Saman and Dr. Octopus Big wheel that's a pretty top Yeah so I'm happy to give that to you All right so we go ahead and put down big wheel for me Yeah All right So a very hard shift there from Sandman, Kingpin, Dr. Octopus to the Big Wheel.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You guys ready to spend for the fifth time? Let's do it. Yeah. Oh, I hope it's good. Give me something good, bitch. Oh. Oh. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Our number fifth pick is Tombstone. That's good, man. That's a good one. I love Tombstone. I actually do. I think he's a great. like villain. I think that like it's really good with Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:19:46 where like they have that cerebral grind level kind of villains and I think that like Tombstone and Hammerhead are really good villains in that they're very like grind level. They're not like God level
Starting point is 00:20:04 things. All they want to do is like take over their area. I mean like that about that. So I would say, dude, I want to say five for Doomstone real quick. Come on. You get so ahead of yourself. Listen, I think we've established that what I would do is I will say a number and then
Starting point is 00:20:23 Corey tells everybody else what. Yeah, I'll tell everybody what's going on. Yeah. My number is five. Yeah, this auction is very much geared towards you as the spy as like one of the big Spider-Man fans here. So the cold, tall and monstrous looking Spider-Man villain who takes pride in his grim and death-like appearance, Lonnie Thompson, Lincoln, is a criminal enforcer who uses methods of
Starting point is 00:20:48 intimidation and murder under the deserving nickname of Tombstone. So, Tombstone, I mean, does he have powers? It says invulnerability. It's very strong. His skin is, like, impervious to stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. Well, he first appeared in Web of Spider-Man number three. 36 freak out in Times Square
Starting point is 00:21:14 and has appeared in 374 issues Mm-hmm So, Dylan, you started us out with five. Yes, I'm gonna put a five out there. I'll go six. I'll go seven. I'm gonna go eight. Eve for Tombstone?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Yeah. For Tombstone. I think he's cool, man. He's a good man. A lot of good stuff going. Like, we, we could be spending way more money. Like, eight's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I spent fucking 15. I spent 18 on Dr. Octopus. I spent 15 on Sandman. Eight's not that bad. So eight going once. Going twice. Corey, you wanted to get in on this? Dylan, you're getting tombstone for eight.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I'll take it. I'll take it. All right. I think that's pretty good. All right. You guys ready to spin the wheel again. Yeah. What's my number at 9?
Starting point is 00:22:23 Uh, you were currently at 59. 59. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, Dylan might be slowing down a little bit. Yeah. Right, here's our sixth spin of the wheel. And it is the tarantula.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Ha, ha, ha. Saving my money. That's good. I don't have to spend too much money. I forgot there was a tarantula. DC. There's like two different ones, right? Yeah, we'll go with the old school one. Why is it not the Marvel option immediately?
Starting point is 00:23:08 That can't be right. No, that's ultimate tarantula. Clone specimen by Dr. Octopus, which I own. So I kind of technically own this tarantula. So pretty good. I don't think this is right either. How come I not? The tarantula.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah, how come I can't find tarantula? Got that fucking finds. This is a good, really good, like, like starting point or how this is going to go. Yeah, considering I can't even find a page from Connick Vine. Can't even find the Comic Vine page. Come on, Comic Vine. Get better. Your job to make us a little easier.
Starting point is 00:23:58 You know, we're trying to be it. Nope, different ones still. Let's try the Marvel wiki. Guys. How come I can find him immediately through Google? Holy shit. That's him, right? Yep.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah. Google's your friend. Yeah, right? All right. So this is Anton Miguel Rodriguez. He is a... Yep. Member of the Savage Six.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yep. He's got a hot. Yep. It's more of a bandana, ready. He loves... He's from South America. Yep. He is a professional criminal, former smuggler, government operative,
Starting point is 00:24:48 and revolutionary terrorist. His first appearance was in Smeas experiment in the United States. He's got blades in his shoes. I believe so. he's a skilled fighter and he has retractable razor blades and boots with retractable razor sharp points the blades are covered with drugs that could render his victim's unconscious the blades are covered with drugs
Starting point is 00:25:13 also apparently at one point he mutated and just turned into a giant tarantula well the spider mind did that too so that's fine yep happens more often than you think oh it happens a lot yeah yeah yeah all right let's start the business on the tarantula I'll go one I'll go to three three oh oh then I'll go five I'm done all right five going once five going twice and I'll pick up the tarantula for five yes yep mm all right let's go ahead and spin the wheel for our seventh time Corey what was the only your impact the big wheel And tarantula.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Because I would have done. I'm like, I don't know what that says. Yes. This is what I was looking for. All right. Our seventh pick is Fancy Dan. Two? Hang on.
Starting point is 00:26:26 You're getting ahead of yourself again. No, my gimmick is I see the number and then Corey reads at the limit. And then that's it. Right? Fancy Dan's only description is longtime member of the enforcers. That's all you need to. He's an armed combatant. He can punch and kick and flip around a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:46 He's really short if I remember. I'm really good at punching too, so I don't think that's a good. His first appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man number 10 of the enforcers, and he was in 235 issues, which I'm not mistaken is about 190 issues more than Big Wheel. Come on nine. But yes, fancy dame. You own the Big Wheel. I do.
Starting point is 00:27:09 What did you start the bidding at? Two. I'll take three. I go four. Five. I'm good. All right. Five going once.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Five going twice. I'll take fancy Dan for five. Remove them from the list. We were winding down. We're at pick number eight. Are you guys ready to spend? Yes. John Sam is money for something.
Starting point is 00:27:47 There's still a lot of heavy. getters on here. John's like really being cage you with something. Oh. Oh. Oh. Our eighth pick is
Starting point is 00:27:58 on. Why is the next pick, John? It's not the green goblin, that's for sure. That's correct. Almost. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I don't think, I'm going to be honest to you guys. I don't think a lot of people are going to go for the ox. I mean, I like him. I like the ox.
Starting point is 00:28:21 But he's no being goblin. Ox, a long time member of the enforcers and one of the oldest foes of Spider-Man. Ox, as his name suggests, was the powerhouse of the team. There have been two people named Ox, and they were brothers. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah, this will be the first Ox. We'll go with that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Boy, you've got to get that. If you're getting fancy that. Yeah. So he's got some invulnerability. He's super strong. I think he's just really big, and that gives them that. But he appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man Number 10, the enforcers along with Fancy Dan and he has appeared in 303 issues I feel like if you got Fancy Dan
Starting point is 00:29:00 you should get the ox right? Yeah I will say did you did you already start the bidding with your gimmick? No not yet I'll do one normally I do I don't think it did this time did I No I think I'll do two I'm gonna go three
Starting point is 00:29:16 I go four that's it I don't want to accident me by ox four going twice four going to me so I now have ox as well as fancy dand yeah for four for four

Starting point is 00:29:54 our eighth pick the master well, one of the masters behind the Clone Wars, the jackal. Ooh, this is pretty good. Pretty good. Get off that ox page. Get into that jackal page. You got to see the ship.
Starting point is 00:30:17 You're not going to put in a bit? Should I? I'm going to say five. We're off the bat. Okay. The jackals, an enemy of Spider-Man who played a big role in both of the clone sagas. He has since seemingly returned to infestment.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Manhattan with spider powers for his own sister ends, organizing test subjects into a spider-powered army. As everybody knows, the jackal is, he's got claws and fucks around with genetics, and he's a green little guy, which, you know, that's not what jackals look like, but hey, it's the name. His first appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man number 31, if this be my destiny, and has appeared in 398 issues. so Dylan you have started the bidding at five yes I'll go seven seven okay I'm gonna go eight
Starting point is 00:31:16 I'll go ten I mean I'm I think I'm on dude that's a lot I always spent a lot of money on like villains Corey what do you think I've never really read the clone saga
Starting point is 00:31:42 so I don't really know anything about the jackal you bitch I got my education from our episode We discussed Bin Riley So we did I'd like to go listen to that episode guys I do love the jackal What are we talking about 10?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah 10 Then going once Oh man They're going twice He's something I have Tombstone Tombstone Tombstone I can't be in my writing
Starting point is 00:32:13 All right No I'm good Okay John you get the jackal for 10 sweet and that means I can clone that's a good peg that's a good thing it means I can clone any of the villains that you guys have as well to uh...
Starting point is 00:32:27 Don't clone fancy down He's just a short kickboxer He doesn't even have blades in his foot like tarantula Nobody wants his rot to though All right you guys are ready to spin the wheel again This is our 10th time So we were halfway through with this What number?
Starting point is 00:32:49 What number? 11. No, that was nine. This one's going to be 10. No, I mean, what number did John spend? Oh, John spent 10. Yeah, once we do this one, we'll do an update on who the teams are and how much money is left after. So we get to our halfway point.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Okay. Mm-hmm. All right, we're spinning the wheel again. Well, this should be easy. This should be nice, like, clean cut, easy enough thing to go through. Corey, you want to tell the people what came up? It's, well, it was our friend the Green Goblin. What I enjoyed about that also was that he is right beside the Hobgoblin.
Starting point is 00:33:46 So if it wasn't Green Goblin, it was going to be Hobgoblin. Yeah, the best Goblin. I'm not sure about that. I think that it is. But we'll talk about it later. So, Corey, what do you get to talk to us about the... I'm so good. Comic Vines search is so garbage. I'm going to say this, man.
Starting point is 00:34:10 John could probably tell us more about the Green Goblin. Yeah. Yeah. You spelled his name wrong. It's just no. Norman Osborne. You can't even spell the Green Goblin. Yep, I forgot how to spell Green Goblin.
Starting point is 00:34:25 So the amoral industrialist Norman Osborne was transformed by an experimental serum into the maniacal green goblin and has endured over the decades as Spider-Man's most dreaded arch enemy. Osborne is known for being the killer of Gwen Stacy, the architect of the Clone Saga, and the one-time director of Shield. So, of course, he's one of the heavy hitters. His first appearance was
Starting point is 00:34:48 in the Amazing Spider-Man number 14, the grotesque adventure of the Green Goblin, and he has appeared in 2,606 issues. I think he's so far the character who's had the most appearances. Gobble, yeah. So...
Starting point is 00:35:02 So this is going to be big. Yes. So, of course, he's a genius. He has the Goblin Guy, or he has pumpkins, you know, that blow up. He got those pumpkins, man. He's very wealthy. So, real quick, Dylan, you've assembled a team of, like, kind of classic villains for Spider-Man. So Green Goblin would fit very well on your team. John, you have the jackal.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And Norman was the guy behind the clone saga. Now, me, Green Goblin's first appearance, he hired the enforcers to go beat up Spider-Man. And so, I mean, we all have a green goblin connection. Yes. So what are we starting our bidding at? 10. 15. Oh, 16.
Starting point is 00:35:51 17. Oh, Corey. Oh, no, he doesn't fit the motif for me. 18? You're a real bastard. That's what they call me. That's what they say. 20?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Oh, fuck off. Okay. Okay. Green goblin? Really? You're giving up the ghost? Can I just really? Can I, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Can I just like really quickly remind everybody what you said to me in our older episodes where we did like an auction where you like totally fucked me over a billion times? Oh, the thing. I just like really quickly point that out. here's the thing I'm gonna take you that John I'm gonna be straight up of you if you put one bid over this
Starting point is 00:36:45 you got it I'm not I'm not gonna go further than this if you make one bid more I'm done you have it what did you say 20
Starting point is 00:36:58 20 I think we're currently 20 I'll go 21 then you got it all right 21 going once I'm on my word dude I'm not going to... I know you love the Greek Goblin.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I wanted the Creek Goblin, but... Dude, come on. 21, you got to spend your money or something. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I wasn't fun to spend that much. All right, so let's do a quick update on... Let's start with teams. Dylan, go ahead and run through everybody's teams.
Starting point is 00:37:31 So my team is the Sandman, Dr. Octopus, and Tombstone. Not bad. not bad Corey's team is Tarantula The Big Wheel Fancy Dan and the Ox
Starting point is 00:37:50 So not that far away From getting the whole Team Right there Dark Order Is I'm going to call this group Well May as well be
Starting point is 00:37:59 John's team Is the kingpin The Jackal And then the Green Gobblem Which is pretty fucking good If you think about He's got a lot of money in a lot of intelligence on his side.
Starting point is 00:38:10 If you think about the arch enemies that Spider-Man has had throughout the years. One of them is... Yeah, yeah, like you have to say, one of them's the Green Goblin, one of them's the Jackal, one of them to the... Kingpin.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Pretty good. Honestly, honestly God, like, you've done really well with that. Like, you had to pay money for it, but, like, you got the fucking goods. Yeah, because someone screwed me over. I fucking paid the right price for Green God. Gobbley, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:38:41 All right, John, you want to run through everybody's remaining money? So, I have 59 pounds left to spend. Dylan has 59 pounds left to spend. And Corey has 83 pounds left to spend. My plan is coming together. All right, we're at the halfway point. If you still hide your on, I'm going to be fucking pissed.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I would not dare. I would not dare. I would. Dude, John, 100%. John just said he would. I already know John's gonna fuck me over Hydron. All right, you guys
Starting point is 00:39:21 ready to spin. Yes. All right. Our next pick is. What's we got? Oh. You know what would be really funny is if we denied
Starting point is 00:39:37 Corey getting the enforcers. Pretty good. All right. Our next pick is Montana of the Enforcers. What do we think? Well, we'll tell somebody's like power isn't one done in this stop, yeah? Well, we'll do, we'll do. Yeah, so we know what he can do?
Starting point is 00:39:56 Navigate Comic Vine's terrible fucking search engine. Would he be applicable to Dr. Octopus? I don't know. I mean, he's got a whip that's kind of like a tentacle. So I already have a Dr. Octopus that would do that. A long time member of him. the enforcers and one of Spider-Man's oldest foes. Montana and his team usually were hired by criminals to do, quote, criminal jobs, as one would suggest.
Starting point is 00:40:23 He's really good with rope and whips. His first appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man Number 10, The Enforcers, and he has appeared in 231 issues, which is, again, more than the big wheel. Anybody's going to win the big wheel, dude. So I'll start the bidding at one. two three four five
Starting point is 00:40:47 no I'm not going to do that because you know at one point I will get tired and I'll just let you have it yep I'm good man all right five going once five going twice
Starting point is 00:41:03 five going three times I have completed the enforcers I'm not I'm not all interested in getting a member of the enforcers I was tempted to put him on as a group but I felt like that would be cheating. All right, you guys ready to spin once more?
Starting point is 00:41:27 Let's do it. What do we got? Come on, Hydro Man. Not quite. All right, our next pick is Smyth. I'm assuming this is Alistair Smyth and not his dad. I would say, I'll be correct. Yeah, pretty good.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Pretty good. talking about Asa Smyth and all of the accomplishments he's had, he's been able to make the Spiret Slayers and even his son to be fair, like was able to come up with like some good shit
Starting point is 00:42:09 himself and a robot, you know? Did he make his dad in a robot or was that the TV show? No, his dad didn't end up being a robot in the TV show. I thought he was trying to like find a way to make his dad like into like a robot
Starting point is 00:42:27 was not like trying to find a way to like bring his dad back to life basically okay all right I thought that his I thought his ultimate goal was to like make him into a robot because then he would be like alive forever
Starting point is 00:42:40 no okay sweet but he didn't do that in the TV show no no so Alistair Smyth is a very intelligent man who created basically a robot,
Starting point is 00:43:00 like kind of a robot body for himself that includes like these curved blades that came out of his shoulders and stuff. Very intelligent man, obviously really good with genetics. He is currently known as the Spider-Slayer, and he appeared first in the Amazing Spider-Man Annual Number 19. So so far, I think he's our latest created character from the 1980s. Everybody else has been prior to that.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Well, no, Jackal. No, Jackal was 70s because he counted his first appearance. Jackal was 70s. Yeah. All right. Anyone wants to start the bidding on Alistair Smyth? I'll do two. I go three. I mean, four? Five?
Starting point is 00:43:48 Corey's been very quiet. Yeah. I think Alster Smyth might be too big a name for my team. No one has ever said that before. I'll go six. I'm good. I'm happy. Yeah, six is too much for me.
Starting point is 00:44:11 All right. Smyth going once, twice and two. I like the idea, but just like, I just don't have the money for it, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:44:20 you guys are at that point. We have to start conserving. There's still some heavy names on this list. Exactly. All right, we're spinning again. So you got, you get,
Starting point is 00:44:30 I'll just smite through six? Yeah. Our next on the list is Dylan. Hydromand. Sweet, sweet revenge. God damn it. John. Remember how much I love you?
Starting point is 00:44:50 I'll tell you what. I'll do a favor for Hydroman if you do me a favor later on. What's the favor? Well, I'll tell you when it comes up. Spider-Man villain with Hydro-Kinesis, the ability of control. water, often part of teams with vendettas against the wall crawler embodies the literal opposite of Spidey's other foe, the Sandman. He has appeared in 342 issues.
Starting point is 00:45:17 His first ever appearance was the Amazing Spider-Man number 212, the coming of Hydro Man. Corey, what was the guy he just won? Alistair Smyth. Cool. All right. There's that Todd McFarland image there that Dylan and I were talking about on the very first Smart Avengers minus one. So we're going to start the bidding.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Five. So do we have an agreement then if I John, I'm going to say I don't know what your other guy is. This is the thing. Nor do I, but I will just, when I do know, then I'll tell you and then
Starting point is 00:46:02 you can respectfully bow out. Is it a goblin? This sounds like a terrible deal. Sorry, man. This could be anyone. We can't guarantee that there's going to be any more goblins picked by the spinning wheel.
Starting point is 00:46:16 John, here's the thing. We're going to make it a deal and all you have to do is make the secret sign, secret signal out loud. And I know what the signal is. You know what the signal is. You'll make a noise
Starting point is 00:46:33 that I understand. And I'll be like, all right, I'm going to back off. Okay? So are we going to establish what the Secret noises. You know what the noise is. Yes? Just like Caldillon knows what the favor is going to be.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Correct. John knows. John is going to make a noise. And I'm going to know what that means. Okay. The noise is going to sound like this. No. Not that at all.
Starting point is 00:47:03 It has to be different. It has to be a different noise than that. Okay. But John. It sounds like this. I didn't even hear that. I didn't. Was there a noise there?
Starting point is 00:47:17 That was me doing a wind noise, but I was doing it too well. Do it again. Do it, but do it into the mic. Okay, I'll do this noise. I don't know. Bamalam. Yep, great. There we go.
Starting point is 00:47:33 If I hear that, then I'm going to know, I'm going to step by. I really hope I don't accidentally say Bamalam now. But it's hard to like accidentally say that. But here's the thing. I'm going to say for Hyderman, I want to put a five right out there right now. All right. Okay. So five going once, twice, and a Dylan.
Starting point is 00:47:56 You're not going to even like, do this whole last fucking thing. And you're not even like try to fucking know. Because you guys, because you really like him. He's your favorite character. I wanted you to be respectful. You couldn't even like bid it up. Dylan, you don't have that much money left. How much money has?
Starting point is 00:48:13 I make I left. 54 pounds. That's all right. Think apartably. That's not bad, right? Oh, that's terrible. So, Dylan, you have Hydroman. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Are you ready to spin once more, guys? Mm-hmm. What do we got? What are we got? Oh, that's a good one. And our next pick is the shocker. That's a good one. Jim Cummings.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Did the voice of Shocker in the original 1990 TV show. All right. Shocker is the Superville and originating from Marvel Comics. A self-taught engineer Herman Schultz create a pair of gauntlets that produce shockwaves incorporating
Starting point is 00:49:03 to a suit that protects him from the impact of the blast. He's the recurring foe of the superhero Spider-Man. His first appearance was in the Amazing Spider-Man number 46, the Sinister Shocker, and he has appeared in 585 issues. 500.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yep. Close to 600. Wow. That guy gets a rhyme, dude. I love the shocker, man. Are you going to start the bidding at one? Two. Three. Four.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Mm. How much have I could laugh, John? You have fifty four left.
Starting point is 00:49:50 So I could afford that. Yeah. But I also feel like John. John, let's be honest, I'm saving more money for something very specific. Which I remind you may or may not be there when the time comes because we have 10 names remaining that are not going to get option. What number are we at? I believe we might be at 12 or 13. Well, no, because the spinning wheel keeps track of the names that are left.
Starting point is 00:50:21 No, I mean, like what's the bid at? Bids at nine. Nine. I guess I'll go 10? 11. I'm done. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:50:34 No. All right. 11 going once, twice, and to me. Okay. Boom. All right. That's a good one. That is a good one.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I love the shocker, but like more than 10. I'm like, I don't know if I can justify that. If I was riding Marvel, I would 100% make the shocker. to like a big bad, but I'm not right to... We've got a lot of... We got a lot of big names left, by the way, guys. But we have eight spins remaining. Me and John were saving their money.
Starting point is 00:51:08 John spent a lot of money on the Green Goblin. Understandably so. He's a big bad. And I got Dr. Octopus, so like, me and John are doing all right. Partably, let me just say with courieres real quick. Tarantula, classically, a huge...
Starting point is 00:51:27 big villain in Spider-Man. The big wheel, classically, big wheel, classic champion of, of the film. Bancidant, Ox, and Montana. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Plastically, we all know the biggest storylines in Spider-Man history for all those guys. And then, who is a lot of the shocker? Alastor Smyth as well. you get a shocker on smith i believe so i mean to be fair smyth has some good storylines shocker i don't know
Starting point is 00:52:11 right when we get down to 15 remaining um i think it would be fun to just read off the names that are that are left because those are those are the ones are going to be up for the final five picks so we're going to spend the wheel now we have eight remaining you guys are ready to go yes all right so this is our 12 not 12 regardless oh oh oh oh oh oh and our next pick is mr negative yeah good luck well do we have any all right real quick mr. negative a man who would later take on the name of martin lee was given an experimental drug which eventually allows him to control of the control of some type of black electrical energy resembling a photographic negative he has appeared in 236 episodes issues and his first appearance was free comic book day 2007 spider-man number one swing shift so this is our most recent character so far 2007 And yeah, no, he just has like a black lightning and he looks like a photo negative.
Starting point is 00:53:36 So, yeah, we're going to start the bidding at one. Who is putting the bid in? Okay. John. I don't want Mr. Negative. I also don't want Mr. Negative. One going once. twice in
Starting point is 00:53:59 pretty cut dry right here right all right we're moving him from the list we have seven spins of the wheel
Starting point is 00:54:08 left some huge names on here by the way mm-hmm me and John are waiting for them the hobgoblin
Starting point is 00:54:21 Bama Bamalam Bamaam Bamaam Bamaam Bamaam I I'm going to cut John
Starting point is 00:54:31 right out of the kindness of my own heart I just decided for no reason at all I'm like you know what I'm going to put a bit eye but I'm not going to pursue it I would put a bit eye
Starting point is 00:54:44 with the hobgoblin by the way John Corey you can look up like hobgoblin history we've talked about the hobgoblin before all I'm going to do is say number five
Starting point is 00:54:54 and then I'm going to be very quiet okay So real quick, though, the hop goblins' first appearance was in the spectacular Spider-Man, number 43, pretty poison. This actually just might be the first appearance of Robert Kingsley. He has appeared in 544 issues. And yes, we've done at least one full issue on the hobbler, or full upset on the hobgoblin. But he has come up other times. So the current bid is at five.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Six. Six going once. Corey, don't let those. Twice. We're way of six. Come on, George. John.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Corey. The Hobb goblin? What do I pay for Hydraman? You paid five for Hydraman. That's all right. That's fair enough. Fair enough then. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Are you guys ready to spin the wheel? Yes. So we're dumb. We're hopping off. Yeah. I am. All right. pick is. John, you were lucky. You were lucky that
Starting point is 00:56:06 the Hyderman came up before Hobgogeland because I would have went to fucking time. All right. I have no idea. And I remember that I showed you that mercy, that I gave you the Hobgoblin for five pounds. Six pounds. Six points. Remember that. That's a fucking steel. You know, you know this is true. You know, come on man. You know, Come on, man. You know that's true.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Hobgoblin for six points. That's a steal. I feel aggrieved that I paid one pound more than you did for Hydron. Come on. What do you think about Hobgoblin versus Hydram? Obviously, I love Hydraman. When was the last time Hydroand was in a fucking TV show? Never.
Starting point is 00:56:52 He was in the animated series. When? We had talked about it in our episode. He had like two episodes in the internet series. How long ago was that? 1994. And then he showed up. He showed up again in the 2000s for the spectacular Spider-Man cartoon as well.
Starting point is 00:57:08 There you go. 15 years ago. All right. He turns up all the time. Hyderman never turns up. Hydraman was in the storyline with Spider-Man with the superior octopus thing. That was still like 10 years ago. Dylan, the only thing I can say is if you really wanted Hydraman, you should have been higher.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I had a deal with John. Sounds like a real bad deal in retrospect. No, it's not. I honored the deal, right? John, correct? You did? Yes? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Yeah. I honored the deal. I said, John, whatever you want, I'm on board with that. It's a shame that it had to be fucking the hot gal then. But I ordered the deal. No, right. Whatever happens is not part of the deal. All right.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Our next pick, though, is the black cat. Former cat burglar Felicia Hardy became a crime fighter when she became romantically attracted to and involve a Spider-Man. Felicia has the ability to instill bad luck around others. This comes in handy when fighting crime. So she first debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man Number 1944, never let the black cat cross your path and has appeared in 1,429 issues. Two? Yeah. I'll go three. Oh. I go five. I remember liking her character in the cartoon.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Six. I don't know if she's more than Hobgoblin worthy, though. I obviously had to negate my hobgoblin that... I mean, it's not fair. The Hobgobgob thing is not fair. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. but black cat on a pedestal opposite the hop-goblin it's not fair
Starting point is 00:59:10 make your own idea please all right six going once twice oh really are we gonna I'm gonna get the black cat yeah yep Dylan you get black cat for six
Starting point is 00:59:27 all right you sound excited about it what are we got left I actually thought so many would bid me All right, so I mentioned that when we had five remaining names, I would read the 15 remaining characters. So I've been saying that we've got some heavy hitters on this list. So let's run through them real quick. Scorpion, Morland, boomerang, the vulture,
Starting point is 00:59:52 swarm. Yes, of course. Yep, of course. Craven the Hunter. Okay. Kangaroo. Venom. Yep.
Starting point is 01:00:04 White rabbit. Okay. Moulton Man. Yes. The spot? Yes. Carnage. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Mysterio. Okay. Camelian. Yep. And the beetle. So those are the remaining 15. We're only going to draw five more names, though. Like you said, there's some heavy hitters there, but there's also some busts.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Don. Can I make a deal with you? Is this the second time we're making a carnage deal? Yes. Two auctions in a row. If Carney turns up, can we make a deal? I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.
Starting point is 01:00:45 What about, how much money have we got left? Yeah, quick rundown. You have 48 pounds left. Corey has 60 pounds left. And I have... What? 53 pounds left. So what was my 48?
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yes. Can we make a deal where I... You and me do not, you do not bid more than Cornish for me. And what's in this for me? Everything else. This, I don't know about that. We'll see. Corey, everything else, just so many other traditional, like, things to pick.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Scorpion, for example. No, Mysterio, Volter. Astero? Vulture. Craven the Hunter. We don't even know if Carnage will come up. so it's true exactly so it's in your advantage to pick that because you know what's going to come up no because he could be the last pick and then i wouldn't be able to get my returns on this deal by the
Starting point is 01:01:48 by the last pick you have no money anyway so it makes sense to pick this deal not necessarily i think so well let's spin the wheel and see who comes up the wheel yeah let's spin the wheel if it's corny we'll talk about this we'll talk about this this is our five remaining this so our ass wheel, right? All right. And our next pick is Craven the Hunter. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Craven recently showed up for us as well in our episode of Best Deaths for Craven's Last Hunt. I mean, that's going to be, we talked about Cabin the Hunter before. We are all fans of Cap and the Hunter the original Craven. We're all pretty good fans.
Starting point is 01:02:37 This is tough. I would say how much I don't know so how much have I got left 48 pounds how much of you get left 53 pounds how much is Corey your left
Starting point is 01:02:50 60 pounds so I want to go like five off the bat okay Craven the Hunter a famous big game hunter who became a mercenary and later developed an intense obsession with restoring honor to his name
Starting point is 01:03:04 Craven has been known as a major threat for Spider-Man and leaving a legacy during his demise. Craven first debuted in the Amazing Spider-Man number 15, Craven the Hunter, and was around for 953 issues. He's the only character so far that I've seen as the date of birth. Apparently, he was born on January 1st, 1918.
Starting point is 01:03:25 So already over 100 years old. It's looking good for his age. It looked great. He also will be the star of a movie that I'm sure is not going to be a bomb. We're going to watch the film. We're all going to watch the film. It's going to be completely out of, oh, no, we have to figure out a way, like, we'll do it with, like, the Deadpool and Wolverine where we know that we're going to see it, so we'll do it real time. Yeah, we'll watch it and then do a review.
Starting point is 01:03:54 So I said five. You said five. I started with five with Dylan. I'll go six. Corey. One of your favorite storylines in the world is Craversus Hunt. six going twice Corey
Starting point is 01:04:20 put the number in Corey put the number in six Corey goes as the third pick you love Craven the number in one for six that would be me he just didn't fit the lineup
Starting point is 01:04:40 Dylan I don't know what to tell you you all right we've got four remaining spin. Yeah. Oh, but it's carnage. We can make a deal. It's not carnage.
Starting point is 01:04:58 It's Boomerang. By the way, every time, I know you guys can't hear, but every time that it's like you have a winner and there's conveysions up and you hear someone go, woo! And there's clapping sounds. Yeah, yeah, we don't get that. That's a shame that you don't get it because it would make some of these a lot fucking funnier. Like Montana, woo!
Starting point is 01:05:17 Don't. You got Montana. Don't buy my fontana. Now, this, of course, is not Captain Boomerang from D.C. Or I'd have been really excited. Would you? I do. I love Captain Boomerang. Former pro baseball player who became a known criminal as the Boomerang.
Starting point is 01:05:34 After fighting towards some semblance of redemption as a member of the Thunderbolts, he led the seventh incarnation of the Sinister Sith. Boomerang first debuted in The Tales to Astonish when a monarch goes mad. The stage is set. And has appeared in 463 issues. What? He's just really good to throw in Boomerang. rings.
Starting point is 01:05:54 What? So I'm going to start the bidding off with two. Three. Four. Oh, Johnny got to go out for four. I'll go five. Six. I'm good.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Six going once. Six going twice. That's it? Six. I'll take boomerang. So Corey gets boomerang? Yeah, I get boomerang. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:27 All right. So we're down to our last. three. Let's do a quick update. Here we go. Monetarily, where's everybody? So, Corey, you have 54 pounds left to spend. Dylan has 48 pounds left to spend
Starting point is 01:06:42 and I have 47 pounds left to spend. Oh, but we have the deal. No, we don't. Do we have the deal? No one's agreed to the deal yet. No one's agreed to any deal. Me and John have agreed to a deal. Yes? No. Correct. We both agree. to a deal.
Starting point is 01:07:03 All right, Dylan, what's our team lineups looking like? So my team is Simon, Dr. Octopus,
Starting point is 01:07:09 Tombstone, Hyderman, and the Black Cat, which isn't bad. It's not a bad team. You have Tarantula, Big Wheel,
Starting point is 01:07:19 Shocker, Alster Smith, Mr. Negative, and the boomerang, which is a mixed bag at best. And then,
Starting point is 01:07:27 John, did you get me, did you give me credit for all three and four? Do you get all three of them? I got all three of them. I have Fancy Don, Ox, and... Montana.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Montana, yes, you have the all three of them. Yeah, good, good. So let's just write like the enforcers. Yeah. Yep. And who does John have? John has the kingpin, the jackal. Hobgoblin.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Green goblin. and the great goblin and the great goblins you have two goblins yeah I've got a goblin tag team two goblins and then Craven the Hunter
Starting point is 01:08:13 so that's pretty good all right we got three spins and 13 names left you guys are ready to go yes I hope I can get a goblin oh
Starting point is 01:08:29 hey John remember we are It's hard about, like, having, like, a thing together. Like, maybe we should like... You know what's happening here, Devin. I do. John, have I ever talked to you about how much I love you? All right.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Cletus Cassidy is a deranged and highly dangerous serial killer and longtime host to the Carnage symbiate. He first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man number 344, Hearts and Powers. and he has shown up in 437 issues. What have I got left? You've still got 48 pounds left. What have you got left?
Starting point is 01:09:14 47 pounds. Okay. I could do something really funny here. Yes, you could. But because you mean, we got on so well. I know that you wouldn't do that to me, right? I don't know. It would be really funny.
Starting point is 01:09:33 I'm going to say this. After we throw this auction, what's the highest number that somebody's gone for? Like what? That's not even like 20. It's like 15 maybe. 21. Someone made me pay over the odds for the green gold men. Who made you pay that over the odds?
Starting point is 01:09:53 Well, I can't remember. Was it me or was it Corey? It was you, I believe. Well, then in that case, I'm going to go 21. all right our bidding starts at 21 that's fair isn't it it's not fair
Starting point is 01:10:10 25 25 for John you want to do a little run down by Carnage or are we happy enough what's that oh I've already want to do like a little one nine I mean we've already done the rundown
Starting point is 01:10:27 in that you know he's he's the host of the Carnage symbiate serial killer I think we could have run down in that if you listen to the show, you know that I love Carnage. Yes, that's very true. The last auction we had also had a deal struck for Carnage, by the way. But how did that go? I mean, you won Carnage.
Starting point is 01:10:46 What was the deal? The deal was that John would not bid over, I think that John would let you win, but then John started the bidding at a high, at like a 16 pound price. So you kind of redeemed that by doing 21. Yeah, you've been even higher. you bastard. I was trying to be good for me. What's the number?
Starting point is 01:11:11 We're at 25, currently. 25? 26. 27. John, I like you. You're a nice man. I'm going to kill you. I really want carnage.
Starting point is 01:11:27 30. 32. John, why did you do this to me? I thought we were friends. I thought we were cool. 31. You, what? Well, no, John, he'd been 32.
Starting point is 01:11:46 33. Yeah, you'd have to do 33. I like the mind games just then, though. 35. 36. I'm just going to have to do it, aren't I? Yeah. It seems to be the case.
Starting point is 01:12:04 47. 48. John cannot go any higher and I have no interest so Dylan you get cardage for 48 I believe that means Dylan is now out for bidding yes
Starting point is 01:12:18 we have two more spins of the wheel can I just say by the way yes fuck you what the fuck that was like that's pure bullshit
Starting point is 01:12:34 just straight up going like 40 come on man I'm surprised he didn't start the vinegar for carnage like I don't want to be that guy but I feel like half of your money entire fucking show
Starting point is 01:12:51 I have a pretty cut and dry I like you John you and me have a pretty cut dry about who we like as in terms of goblins and who we like in terms of carnage and I cut you a pretty like look back on history
Starting point is 01:13:06 I have cut John a pretty good slack when it comes to the the goblins. Yes? Yes? Yes? Correct. And then I feel like, oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:21 John might have fucked me when it comes to carnage again and again. This is not the first time this has happened. I do think this is the highest bid we've ever had in any of our auctions. I'll pay it. I'll fucking pay it. I love carnage.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Fuck you. Right. I love. I'm not bothered. All right. We've got. I got a carnage. Everybody else suck.
Starting point is 01:13:47 You can have, you get a venom. I have my shit. I'm all. I'm done. Yes, you are out. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Mike, my is Dr. Octopus, the Sandman, Tombstone, Hyderman, Black Cat, and Carnage.
Starting point is 01:14:00 I have the best fucking Sinic Sex. I fucking win. I don't be sure. shit. What the fuck you want, dude? I have the best fucking rule. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:15 We've got two more spins and 12 names. John, are you ready to go since it's just you and I know? Yes, absolutely. Fuck you. All right, our penultimate character, The Multim Man. Oh, we spent all the, money man
Starting point is 01:14:37 money man oh but you would fit so well with your team Dylan he's gonna pick who you're gonna pick I don't know man it's close I can be on the buddy Moulton man is the stepbrother of Liz Allen he's had several run-ins
Starting point is 01:14:55 with Spider-Man he was recently cured of his condition he debuted in the amazing Spider-Man number 133 the Moulton Man breaks out oh no that's when he died sorry he for his first appearance was the amazing experiment number 28, the menace of the Moulton Man, and he appeared in 209
Starting point is 01:15:12 issues. I will start the bidding at one. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven.
Starting point is 01:15:26 I love by your exasperate about 40 for the Moldemann. You were hopping up to go to 40 for fucking carnage. But I'm a Multon. I don't know. I go eight nine okay you can have him all right so our penultimate pick was the Moulton man just so we know there is 11 names left on the list but only one will be chosen so let's run down those 11 names we have white rabbit the spot Mysterio chameleon beetle scorpion morland the vulture Kangaroo. I misspelled kangaroo somehow.
Starting point is 01:16:13 We have to have swarm. And the last Venom. So we got some heavy names on there. A lot of heavy hitters right there. And there's only one spin left. Big, big guys. And I'm all right. I can't pick anyone. No.
Starting point is 01:16:29 All right. I'm done. Nothing I can do about that. So let's see what the list says. Our final pick. I'm going to pick. Oh. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 01:16:41 Is the Vito? Oh, it's a beetle. Fuck, sake. I should have. Scorpion, but Scorpean, whatever you want. But it would be like, can we, like, spin the wheel again real quick?
Starting point is 01:16:52 Yeah. That's not, that's not the way you want to end the show. You don't want to end it on Beetle? No. John, what do you think? I mean, I wouldn't be averse to spin the wheel again, but. I would spin the wheel again, man. I don't think it's, it's, it's,
Starting point is 01:17:09 within the I like the spirit of the game Yes, correct I would spin the wheel again Let's just We will The bidding is going to be
Starting point is 01:17:18 On the beetle But We'll spin it Just to see what it Could have been Yes If a beetle Let me put Beetle back on
Starting point is 01:17:25 Yes Wait Wait Wait What of what Destiny What do we spend What have we spent
Starting point is 01:17:45 What have we spent A third time though it's too late it's you're happy the beetle I guess I'm going to pick one of the other beetles here
Starting point is 01:17:57 should I go with the OG beetle or the most recent beetle OG oh yeah Abe was Abe good old Mac 5 yes you got to go growing
Starting point is 01:18:12 growing tired of his mechanic job Abe Jenkins created a suit of armor and became the beetle originally criminally changes ways as a member of the Thunderbolts taking the name Mach 1. A became a mainstay of the group and achieved legitimacy as a superhero. As he's upgraded his armor, he's changed his name to reflect the version of his armor.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Currently, Mach 10. So, his first appearance was Strange Tales Number 123, The Birth of the Beetle, The Challenge of Loki. And he appeared in 613 issues. So, we're going to start the bidding at 1. I go five, six, ten. Hello. Ten going once, twice, sold to John. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:19:08 So. You're very happy to get the last guy. So here we go. Quick rundown. These are the names that did not get chosen. Swarm, the vulture, Morland, the scorpion, the chameleon, Mysterio, the spot, white rabbit, and venom.
Starting point is 01:19:25 A lot of really big heavy hitters that we didn't get to. And the kangaroo as well. Kangaroo, of course, the most important one. Yep. That's true. All right. To be fair. So let me run on.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Actually, I want to do, let's run down the money first. That way we can see who has the most money remaining. Well, I know. I know who has the least money. I'm very familiar with who has the least money. Go ahead, Corey. Tell everybody who spent the most money on Carnage. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:20:03 No, I believe that John's job is he's tracking the funds. John, what's the rule? What's the deal? So, Corey has the most money left with 45 pounds. I'm surprised I have that low amount, to be frank. You did a lot of small bids. I did. 37 pounds left
Starting point is 01:20:26 and Dylan 37 pounds is pretty good I hope I get something pretty close to 37 pounds Dylan has a whopping zero pounds left Why is that John Because you spent 48 pounds on carnage for some reason
Starting point is 01:20:44 No no but but not because of me No You could have let me have them for 47 pounds Because somebody rears the bid up To that point and I had to bid over that. Isn't that correct? That's the way bidding goes.
Starting point is 01:20:59 John, I'm starting to think that you meet might not be the best podcast host because we're very angry about it when it comes to carnage. Dylan, go ahead and run down everybody's teams. So my team, Saman, good. Doc, octopus, good. Tombstone, pretty good. Hyduman, of course. The black cat
Starting point is 01:21:24 Nice, a little bit of variety You want a woman on the show And then Carnage Because I like Carnage I don't know if I've talked about this On the show But I like Carnage So
Starting point is 01:21:40 Corey's team was Tarantula The Big Wheel Fancy Dan Ox Montana, aka the whole group We had I think Mr. Stenster Shocker.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Mr. Negative. Mr. Negative. What did I say? Mr. Sinister. He wishes. Yes. Yes. We have to cut that product.
Starting point is 01:22:06 Mr. Negative. The shocker, Smyth. Mm-hmm. One of the smives. Bremarine and then Multiman.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Yes. Yep. and then John had the kingpin but pretty good Jackal pretty good I think you're a bit in shocker for you
Starting point is 01:22:38 but like somebody had the shocker who's the shocker? I did. All right so scrap that John you have somebody that looks like the shocker? Do I? Apparently so
Starting point is 01:22:50 couldn't mind negatives. The hobgoblin that was you Crabe and the Hunter Who else do you have? The Green Goblin and the Beetle Yes, the Beetle, yes Doesn't it write down
Starting point is 01:23:10 what the fuck did they write down? I think that's my shocker instead. I think it were chocker instead of a pre-goblin, yeah but you had like two out of like three goblins so that's pretty good. So, right? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:23:27 I will tell you. Goblins. Not the thing. I feel like I showed you a lot of mercy when I came to say Goblins. I could have, I do. I could have been like real harsh when I come to Hobgoblin. And you and me had an agreement? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:42 You stuck with the agreement. So fair place. That was very good of you. Thank you. I'm glad that we're on the CMP is when it comes to this kind of stuff, you know? Mm-hmm. And Corey, did you have any agreement with us? No.
Starting point is 01:23:58 No. No, you didn't. Me and John were out here making agreements, and you were just, like, making up your own stuff. Yeah, my gimmick was really simple. I knew you guys were going to bid really high for all the heavy hitters, so I was like, I'll just grab all the jobbers. That's not true because I got Hydramon.
Starting point is 01:24:18 No, but that was your favorite character. Yes, he is. I didn't want to take him from you. Thank you. Especially after you made a deal. Wow, that was part of it, correct. But we, you know, obviously made a deal. So, you know, there was a lot more to it than that.
Starting point is 01:24:36 It wasn't just Hydraman. Yeah. That's true. Anyway, that's the way I go. So I'm glad that me and John could come to an arrangement. I'm glad that Corey could understand the arrangement that me and John would have and see it through like a crow, like a raven eyes, you know, and just like observe it from a far away.
Starting point is 01:25:01 and go, I'm not going to touch that, but I will peck at it. I like that. That's nice. It's observant. You will, like, happily peck at the corpse of our decisions. Yeah, the carrion. Yes. I'm the carrion.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Exactly. You're the carrying cross of the podcast. Kind of boring and forgotten for the most part. Correct. I mean, that's, I mean, John, are you wrong? So real quick, Dylan, the highest bid was Carnage at 48, and the lowest bid was Mr. Negative at 1, right? I'm going to say, I don't know where.
Starting point is 01:25:43 I'm going to say, I made the, in retrospect, I made the best call, right? I mean, we didn't get into Bannum, we didn't get to like a little bother, like, fucking other guys. Considering the last two names that came up. Yeah, Multiman and Beetle. I think Multiman and Beetle. I think that Carnage was the best peck. That last five in particular was rough. Not great.
Starting point is 01:26:11 Because it was just Carnage in the middle and then surrounded by like Boomerang and stuff. Yeah, but Boomerang did like the sinister foes of Spider-Man. Yeah, Spear-yer foes. Superior foes, yeah. Which, you know, was what it was. But Carnage. kill loads of people so there you go got ripped up by the century you got a pick what do you like do you like a fun storyline or do you like people kidding people i like people people people
Starting point is 01:26:41 well everybody that was our auction you're more than welcome to leave comments down saying who who who who you think had the best team as well as if dillon if dylan was robbed or not I was the bad I had the best I had the best team Did you say yes he wasn't I had the Hygman and I said he definitely wasn't
Starting point is 01:27:05 No fuck you You kidding me I had the best team Oh Oh my godblins over there Everybody gets goblins Whatever the fuck Everybody over Gooseby Goblins
Starting point is 01:27:15 I got that different variety Well no one got goblins aside from me You got goblins Yeah no that's what I'm saying You're saying everyone has goblins but it's only me. I say that my team is better than your team with goblins and up
Starting point is 01:27:29 because you're like all goblins all the time. My team is not goblins all the time. Yeah. I think my team is better than your team. Oh, well then let me look at my team again. Oh, fuck you. Cardage. I fucking killed it.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Simon? Are you kidding me? So real quick, John. What is your movie count out at for the year because we are winding down. I am up to 758. And I know you finished all of the leprechaun movies,
Starting point is 01:28:06 but what was the last movie that you watched? The last movie I watched was called The Naked City, which was 1940s noir murder mystery, which was very, very good. Well, there you go. What was it called? The Naked City. Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:25 And John, where can they go to find? Oh, sorry. There wasn't any naked people in it, so. What? Fuck you then. Yeah. John, where can people go to see the other 757 movies that you've been watching for the year? They can find me on Letterboxed at a Big John Bowsky, all one word.
Starting point is 01:28:49 And Dylan, is there anything that you would like to promote? Not really. promote how much I love Carnage and then send it to John and then let John know that he made a mistake that he shouldn't have bid the height because I love Carnage and he was
Starting point is 01:29:05 a bad man for doing that just harassed John in his social media posts can I say that am I allowed to say to harass? I don't think you've given John's ad out so I think it's fine to say that yeah whatever
Starting point is 01:29:22 whatever John's Twitter pages, find it, and then harassing, and then say, oh, you should have been nice to Dylan. And I'm like, that's me. And that's the whole show. I will just reply and say, that's me. And then that's it. Other than that, I don't think I have nothing else to say. I have a book.
Starting point is 01:29:42 You can look at my book. It's on Amazon. It's called. What the fuck is it called? The wonderful world of Captain Explody, I think, is the name. You can buy it online. It's on Amazon. It's a print on demand thing.
Starting point is 01:30:03 It's full of, like, fun storylines and things that I've written. There's going to be another one coming out soon. I think maybe next year, I'm going to make another one. But that's it. All right. And my other podcast is called the Larger. Old Cup. It is a stream of consciousness podcast where I just record and go. And then where we end up is where we end up. So until next time. And if memory serves, let me verify real quick. Yes. Verify that.
Starting point is 01:30:35 It's important. Our very, if I'm not mistaken, our very next episode is going to be our Christmas episode, which we discussed. We should do Christmas. Yeah, we discussed what we were going to do is we were going to read the very first Clause mini-series that Grant Morrison wrote and do a bit of a book review. We're going to do that. Yeah. Yeah. So that's something to look forward to. Yeah. And if you would like, you could go ahead and pick up that first mini-series of Clause, read it, and listen and see if you agree or disagree with our opinions. Yes. You probably agree with us because we're cool. But until next time, we'll see you later. Goodbye. Bye. Bye-bye.
Starting point is 01:31:24 Fuck you, Carnage.
