Episode 143 - Rat City 11 and Sam And Twitch Case Files 11

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Good afternoon, drug dealers. How are sales today? Good evening and welcome to the Malbolge. This is regarding Spawn. Wait, what do I say? I gotta do it the same rhythm where I forget. Good evening and welcome to the Malibols. This is regarding Spawn, the world's best Spawn podcast. I am your co host, John Fisher. [00:00:56] Speaker B: And I'm your co host, David Williams. [00:00:58] Speaker A: I have to do exactly like that or I forget. [00:01:01] Speaker B: And Johnny, we've learned that we can't scat the opening of this show. Which is very unfortunate, I feel, because who doesn't like a little bit of scat? We're talking about the musical scat. [00:01:12] Speaker A: I tried to scat, dude, dude, do, do, do. But didn't work out. [00:01:15] Speaker B: Cuz remember, if the Scatman can do it, then so can you. Have you ever. Have you ever listened to the lyrics of the song Scatman by Scatman John? I think is. [00:01:25] Speaker A: I like it. The song. I don't know if I've like. I mean, I've listened to the lyrics. [00:01:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:29] Speaker A: I don't know if I' read them and analyze them. [00:01:31] Speaker B: It's very positive. It's very affirming. It's very. [00:01:34] Speaker A: Give it over to me. [00:01:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that. That then encompasses everything you need to know about life right there, Johnny. Just that one little bit. [00:01:48] Speaker A: I'm the Good Humor man. Yeah, they did. They used that song in a commercial for Good Humor. [00:01:53] Speaker B: Nothing like. Nothing like some ice cream on a hot day. I had a fucking rainbow cone yesterday. I should have gotten it in a cup instead of a cone. That was a bad idea. I got as much on me as I got in me. [00:02:05] Speaker A: Was like a. Like a snow cone. [00:02:08] Speaker B: No, rainbow cone is locally based chain of ice cream. And the classic rainbow cone is they do like slices instead of scoops. So there's like a slice of chocolate, a slice of cherry, a slice of pistachio, a slice of orange sherbet. There might be another flavor in there somewhere, but it's. It's. It's delicious, but it's messy as fuck. [00:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah, that sounds good. I had some ice cream the other day. [00:02:33] Speaker B: Oh, nice. What kind? [00:02:35] Speaker A: Craving it. [00:02:36] Speaker B: Was it a good one? Was it a good one? [00:02:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I had some Ben and Jerry's. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah. Ben and Jerry's. [00:02:44] Speaker A: The strawberry cheesecake one. [00:02:46] Speaker B: Oh, I haven't had that one. That sounds delicious though. [00:02:48] Speaker A: It's really good. [00:02:49] Speaker B: I got to say, if there's a. If there's a place that just sells soft serve with sprinkles on it, I mean, I'm in I'm in heaven. I love the soft serve. [00:02:56] Speaker A: I went. Got some good soft serve in Pilsen a couple, like a month ago with my friend Steve. [00:03:02] Speaker B: Nice. Hey, Steve. [00:03:04] Speaker A: I do love a soft serve. I made the mistake of getting a large. He got a regular and the large was like, ridiculous. And I was like, oops. I was like. I thought the large would just be, like a little bigger. It was giant. [00:03:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I did that recently. There's a place out in Oak park that. It's cash only, so I can only go when I have cash, which sucks. But. But I got a medium and like, I was watching the person fill the cone up and you're like, oh, shit. I was like, are you not. Are you not going to stop? Yeah, I know you're not going to stop. [00:03:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I was like, I have to get all that to get to the cone. [00:03:33] Speaker B: They also have dip cones and dip cones are great. I just fucking love ice cream. Ice cream is. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I love ice cream. I mean, it's fucking amazing. [00:03:40] Speaker B: One of the. One of the greatest inventions of all time. [00:03:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it truly is. I eat ice cream for breakfast. If it's socially acceptable. [00:03:49] Speaker B: I mean, Johnny, it's socially acceptable. [00:03:52] Speaker A: I mean, I've done it. I've done it in the last year for sure. [00:03:54] Speaker B: There's nothing. There's other. It's. It's. It's no worse than just having some cereal. [00:03:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It's just like frozen cereal. [00:04:01] Speaker B: It's just frozen cereal. [00:04:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would eat ice cream for breakfast every fucking day. [00:04:06] Speaker B: Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I like to. I like to have a salad for breakfast because then I can eat like garbage for the rest of the day and be like, hey, I had a salad for breakfast. [00:04:16] Speaker A: I just got intense deja vu. I think we have this exact thing. [00:04:20] Speaker B: I think we might have to. I don't know. I have. I've had the conversation about breakfast salad so many times, I've forgotten who I've told it to. I'm just. [00:04:27] Speaker A: That's a good idea. [00:04:28] Speaker B: I'm evangelizing. Don't. Don't limit yourself to just breakfast foods for breakfast. [00:04:34] Speaker A: But they're so good. [00:04:35] Speaker B: I mean, they're good, but I mean, also, don't limit breakfast foods to just breakfast time. Let's. What's better than fucking biscuits and gravy for lunch? Very little. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Very little. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Man. The. Up. Up here, they do. They do a thing that they call Southern Benedict, which is biscuits and gravy in eggs Benedict form. So you get like your biscuit with a Poached egg and then some gravy on top of it. [00:04:59] Speaker A: It's sounds good. Sounds like something Sam Burke might order at a diner. [00:05:06] Speaker B: Oh, man. I. I want the Todd father to post Sam Burke's diner order. [00:05:11] Speaker A: And then I'd be very curious to see. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Go to a diner and then try to recreate that. [00:05:16] Speaker A: I bet he gets like a breakfast thing and a turkey cloth. [00:05:20] Speaker B: Well, I mean, in this one he did just get pancakes. [00:05:23] Speaker A: He did get pancakes. Yeah. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Pancakes is a. [00:05:26] Speaker A: What is this one, David? [00:05:27] Speaker B: What is this one? This. I don't know. What is this one, Johnny? [00:05:34] Speaker A: This one is regarding Spawn. [00:05:37] Speaker B: Uh huh. [00:05:38] Speaker A: And this one issue we're talking. We're talking about. Well, hold on. I'm fucking myself up again. What the fuck? It's the fourth of July. I'm just so. [00:05:47] Speaker B: The rhythms, the rhythms. [00:05:48] Speaker A: I'm so excited for America, David, that I just can't concentrate. The future's looking bright. I gotta wear shades. [00:05:55] Speaker B: You gotta. You gotta use the rhythm methods to keep on track. [00:06:00] Speaker A: I know the rhythm method. [00:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a. That was a. That was a birth control joke. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's a method of birth control. Oh, just like knowing your. [00:06:12] Speaker B: It's. It's not a. It's not a highly effective version of birth control. But it is. [00:06:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:18] Speaker B: A very long, long put in use. But yeah, it's keeping track of where you are in your cycle. So that way you know when you can and when you can't. [00:06:27] Speaker A: Okay, now I completely forgot what I was talking about. Oh, I know what I was doing. I was saying this is an issue of a comic. And this show is respawn regarding Spawn. Where each week we bring you two. Count them, two, count them, two issues from Spawn's universe. Except what we don't. Last week we didn't. [00:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah, last week was. [00:06:53] Speaker A: We did Violator Number two. But this week we do have two issues. We're back to our normal format. [00:06:58] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [00:06:58] Speaker A: And there are two lucky number 11s. Isn't 11 a lucky number? Am I just making that up? No, it could be Ocean's Eleven. [00:07:07] Speaker B: Well, I mean there, it's. There is that scene in Nightmare Before Christmas where. Where oogie boogie goes E11. So it was lucky to him. At least. I think it's. I think it's a good number to get in Craps. You want sevens and elevens, right? [00:07:24] Speaker A: Okay, that's what I'm thinking of. Yeah. Craps, seven, 11. [00:07:26] Speaker B: Yeah, but I don't think you want two elevens in a row, though, is the problem. Oh, or it depends on how you bet. Because I think you bet whether you're gonna get a 7 or an 11. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Okay, I. I don't. [00:07:37] Speaker B: Crap still doesn't make any sense to me. [00:07:39] Speaker A: My dad likes craps. I should ask him. [00:07:42] Speaker B: I tried. I tried to learn the rules once, and it just didn't. It didn't take. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Didn't take. Yes. We have two issues from Swans Universe. They're both issue number elevens. We have Rat City, number eleven. [00:07:55] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:07:55] Speaker A: And Sam and Twitch Case files number eleven. [00:07:58] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah. [00:08:01] Speaker A: Yeah. We love these two books. So it's exciting. It's always a great week. We got them paired together. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:05] Speaker A: They make for a nice pairing, strangely enough. [00:08:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's a great pairing. It's like. It's like, takes place in the exact same spot separated by a couple of hundred years. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Everyone loves a double feature. [00:08:20] Speaker B: I can't wait until the time when we don't cover two issues. Is the time that we cover three issues. Johnny, can you imagine us doing? [00:08:27] Speaker A: No. [00:08:28] Speaker B: Well, I mean, technically, Spawn Fan Edition. That is three issues. That is the premiere of Viking Spawn. That only equals about a single issue because all three books are like six pages long. So that could be a three issue one. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:45] Speaker B: Yeah, let's do it. [00:08:46] Speaker A: I'm down. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Oh, that'll have to be when we get back to doing the back. But there's so much. There's so much new to get to. [00:08:54] Speaker A: So much new. I think we've kind of resigned ourselves to the new. [00:08:57] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, until I like the new better. [00:08:59] Speaker A: It's what I've. It's my Spawn. [00:09:01] Speaker B: It's. I. I just. I just like talking about. I don't fucking care where we talk about Spawn as long as. Okay, about the spawn. [00:09:08] Speaker A: Old, new, whatever, 90s or 20, 25, whatever. [00:09:13] Speaker B: I like. I like the idea of potentially saving old stuff for. To entice people to be on the show. Be like, we can talk about any Spawn episode issue. You want to be like. I want to talk about issue number 57. [00:09:27] Speaker A: I don't. [00:09:27] Speaker B: I don't know what happens in 57. I don't think anything spectacular happens in 57. But we'll be there for it. [00:09:33] Speaker A: Maybe we'll be there for it. Yeah. We love Rat City. We love saving Twitch. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [00:09:38] Speaker A: And that's what we're covering today. And speaking of covering, let's start with these covers. Yeah, we Got Rat City 11's up first. We start with Rat City. And we go to Sam. Twitch. That's our double feature. Yeah, because I feel like Rat City is more the star. [00:09:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:52] Speaker A: So you do that one first. Then you have the palette cleanser, little post little. [00:09:57] Speaker B: A little the. The refractory period, if you will. [00:10:01] Speaker A: Sure. Is that a sex thing too? [00:10:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I think there's a. There's a disturbing trend happening on this side of the record today. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Why are you. Sex jokes. [00:10:11] Speaker B: I'm gonna. I'm gonna try to tamp it down really quickly. [00:10:14] Speaker A: You're making like, like really technical sex jokes. [00:10:16] Speaker B: I don't. I don't know, Johnny. I don't know. That's. That's the beauty of a second record. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah, we're doing two in a row. [00:10:23] Speaker B: I gotta keep it fresh somehow. I used all of my low hanging fruit earlier. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Yeah, we're recording two in a row because it's fourth of July and we're both off. So we recorded last week's like five, like 15 minutes ago, something like that, and now we're recording this week. So there you go. Behind the scenes. Action. So we might be a little crazy on this episode. [00:10:43] Speaker B: It'll either be a very short episode or an unreasonably long episode for some reason. [00:10:49] Speaker A: We'll find out. Strap in. [00:10:51] Speaker B: Only one way to know. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Well, you, the listener, already know because you can see how long it is. [00:10:59] Speaker B: So one of us, one of us will be upset. One of us might be upset about having to. To edit the two and a half hour long episode. [00:11:07] Speaker A: No, David, I got a date today. Date with Lilith, the demon. [00:11:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. We gotta. We gotta get you. You gotta get you too. [00:11:16] Speaker A: I gotta. I want to play some Diablo on my day off and go meet up with some friends. Have some, you know, have a mother effing beer. [00:11:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, have a cold beer. [00:11:27] Speaker A: Have a mother effing beer. [00:11:28] Speaker B: You should probably go stick one in the freezer right now so that way it'll be the perfect temperature when we're done recording. [00:11:33] Speaker A: I don't have any beer in my house right now. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Ah, balls. [00:11:36] Speaker A: So that's step one, I guess is get beer. [00:11:38] Speaker B: This is step one. Get beer. Step two, drink. I. I feel sorry for people like you, Johnny, who do not have a yard. So that way you can't partake of the yard beer. [00:11:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is just stand on the street and drink a beer. [00:11:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess you could just get unreasonably sweaty outside not doing yard work. [00:11:58] Speaker A: I got unreasonably sweaty doing anything, David. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Me too. [00:12:01] Speaker A: Dude, that wasn't a sex joke. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Well, it is now retroactively because Johnny Duff protest too much. I Guess, I guess. Yeah. Just standing outside on the sidewalk because all that, all that cement just like radiates it back. It's just those, those hot days where you drink a beer and it like immediately evaporates out. So you're not drunk. Yeah, it's a blessing and a curse. [00:12:28] Speaker A: I went to that baseball game we went to with Brendan that one time before I. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Before I owned a pair of shorts and it was 110 degrees on the field. Yeah, yeah, that we just sat there. [00:12:37] Speaker A: And like, the beer just came out of my pores. I was drinking beer, not feeling anything. I didn't have to go to the bathroom. [00:12:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I went. I went to the bathroom simply to put water on my jeans because didn't own a pair of shorts. And by the time I got back to my seat from the bathroom, my pants were already dry. [00:12:52] Speaker A: It was so hot. [00:12:53] Speaker B: It. It was wild. But hey, the tickets for free, so it was fun. [00:12:58] Speaker A: I'm glad. [00:12:58] Speaker B: I like, I like going to baseball games. Just, you know, maybe not degrees. Wait, where shorts now, you dummy. [00:13:06] Speaker A: Come on, David. [00:13:07] Speaker B: I got, I got at least three pairs of shorts now. So. [00:13:09] Speaker A: When did you start buying shorts? [00:13:13] Speaker B: 2014, I think. [00:13:14] Speaker A: Okay. You got a date? [00:13:17] Speaker B: No, it's just my job requires that I. So I can wear casual clothes to work, but I have to have them within safety regulations. So long pants are always required. So I just. For a period of time, I just couldn't really justify buying clothes that weren't double duty, both work and not work clothes. [00:13:37] Speaker A: Right. [00:13:37] Speaker B: And then at one some point, I just fucking got over my. My poor body image and was like, I don't. I don't give a. If people don't want to see my legs, I need to be comfortable. So, like, I've recently taken to, if it's hot while I'm running, I'll just run with my shirt off. And that is a major win for David Williams, being able to be comfortable in public with no shirt on. [00:14:01] Speaker A: Congratulations. [00:14:02] Speaker B: Never. It's never happened before. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Well, good. I'm glad for you. Yeah. So I like, had it stuck in my head. Like, someone once told me that. I don't remember who it was, but they said like, oh, I can't imagine wearing shorts in the city. And like, why? And like, your legs get all dirty and shit. And I'm like, I don't know, I don't think so. [00:14:19] Speaker B: So, I mean, anywhere you wear shirts. [00:14:21] Speaker A: But then I was like, freaked out. Like, should I not wear shorts in the city for like, many years? This is like right after I moved here, but then I realized I should. But now my job, I do kind of have to wear long pants because I'm the. I gotta be the. [00:14:32] Speaker B: Gotta be presentable. [00:14:33] Speaker A: If you got a problem in a place and the manager's got to come talk to you, you want them to be wearing long pants. [00:14:38] Speaker B: Unless it's Margaritaville and then you want that to be in board shorts. [00:14:41] Speaker A: He better be in board shorts. Yeah, but. So I. But I wear shorts on my days off. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Or I'm out of work. Anyway, I love shorts. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Shorts are good. And short. Short entries into long running serial stories are also exceptional, Johnny. [00:15:01] Speaker A: Absolutely. And we've got rat City. Number 11 is our entry into the Rat City lore canon timeline today. We always start with the covers. And I have the A cover. It's no surprise I have it because it's by Bjorn Barons. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I, we. I don't think we have any different covers from each other this week, Johnny, because. Yeah, I also have the A cover. And it's Bjorn Barron's. And it's incredible. It's just there with his. His glowing necroplasmic orb in the rain light. [00:15:32] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like got like electricity and necroplasm coming off of him. I mean he's just like. The 3D boomer burns is cool of those vials he has on his belt. [00:15:41] Speaker B: I love all of the. Like the. The black of the deviant suit has like circuitry lines all over it. It's so fucking cool. [00:15:53] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it's. It's great. But actually the B cover is pretty dope as well. [00:15:57] Speaker B: Yeah, the B cover is pretty cool. It's. It's. It's a rare mostly black cover. [00:16:03] Speaker A: Yeah, that's why Marco Falia. And it's like the deviant symbol. All cybery. And he's like kind of like the Matrix and he's like jumping out of it. And it's a very cartoony like Saturday morning cartoon kind of. [00:16:15] Speaker B: Yeah, this would be. This would be the last bit of the opening for the Saturday morning cartoon. [00:16:20] Speaker A: Right. It'd be like the title and then he'd jump at the screen. Yeah, Rat City. [00:16:26] Speaker B: And they should make a Rat City Saturday morning cartoon. That would be so dope. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it'd be awesome. It's like perfect for it. Rat City. [00:16:36] Speaker B: You'll get caught up in the. [00:16:38] Speaker A: That's all I can think of. You'll get caught up in the Rat City, man. [00:16:43] Speaker B: Do you remember the crushing disappear disappointment to the first time you ever played Crossfire? [00:16:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Some rich kid I knew had it. [00:16:49] Speaker B: It's such a terrible game. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Yeah. The commercial is awesome though. Yeah, A lot of those 90s gimmicks games were just like gimmicks and made for commercials. Yeah, I had one that was like a big 3D mountain that you move Micro Machines along and it was like a board game. Like if you stopped on a hill and you like, let it go and you fell in the lake, you die or something. I can't remember. But one of the gimmicky board games I had. [00:17:15] Speaker B: Interesting. I had a. I had a board game that was. You were a dinosaur and you were trying to get to the land of the dinosaurs and at some point you could accidentally end up in the tar pits. Uh oh, that was. That was a fun game. [00:17:30] Speaker A: I had the Grape Escape where you made the figures out of clay and they would get smushed. Nice clay, like came with play doh. You make your play piece out of play doh. And like you're the grape trying to escape. I guess the Jelly factory kind of like Mousetrap, but if you get into one of the traps, it like smushes your guy. [00:17:49] Speaker B: That's awesome. That's actually really awesome. [00:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Played a lot of Mousetrap with my sister. Mousetrap was fun. Weird game, Rube Goldberg, but, you know, it isn't weird, Johnny. [00:18:01] Speaker A: And Resti is a little weird, all right. [00:18:04] Speaker B: But not. Not like unreasonably weird. Not like the gameplay doesn't. Doesn't live up to the awesomeness of the theme song. [00:18:13] Speaker A: Yes, it's true. It lives up to the awesomeness of these covers. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [00:18:18] Speaker A: And we start with the credits. Once we crack it open, we got script plot by Erica Schultz. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Art by Zay Carlos, color by J. David Ramos. [00:18:28] Speaker B: As always. [00:18:29] Speaker A: Lettering by Erica Scholz. Pulling double duty. We already covered the covers. [00:18:33] Speaker B: Yes, Indeed. [00:18:34] Speaker A: Creative directors, Mr. Todd McFarlane and editor in chief is Thomas Healey. Previously in Rat City. On the run from pts, Peter and Quinlan have to abandon Rat City and seek refuge in the wilds. [00:18:49] Speaker B: So this is the. This is a camping issue, Johnny. [00:18:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Basically they go camping and then a really scary man comes and ruins their camping trip. [00:19:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that sounds. That sounds like every. Every camping experience, there's somebody who ruins it for everybody. [00:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah, my last one was my nephew got everyone sick. We were shitting, puking our brains out in the middle of the fucking Texas woods. [00:19:14] Speaker B: Though there's. There is a little bit of beauty in that. You don't have to worry about cleaning that up. Just go to A different part of the woods. [00:19:22] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, I puked all over those woods. Luckily, there was a bathroom, but, yeah. Last week, Peter and Quinlan made their escape and it ended with the Chairman shooting himself. [00:19:34] Speaker B: Shooting himself? Yeah. Like, he needs to level up and that's the way he does it, because he's got that. The touch of the curse and is immune to dying or something. [00:19:44] Speaker A: Yeah. We'll find out. [00:19:45] Speaker B: They poison him as a child and he's the only one who recovers. [00:19:49] Speaker A: But he's. Someone's talking to Dr. Bose here, and he's like, it's good to see you back on your feet. Then an assistant comes in, is like, yo, the Chairman is dead. [00:19:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And. And Dr. Bose is immediately. Don't, like, don't believe the news. It's a piece of. [00:20:04] Speaker A: It's all clickbait. [00:20:05] Speaker B: And then this Dr. Nomik says, no, no, HR confirmed it. And then Dr. Bose is like, okay, it's official. [00:20:12] Speaker A: No one lives forever. He's just like, whatever. [00:20:16] Speaker B: And then he's like, look at this, look at this. Look at this thing that I just did. Isn't it wonderful? And Dr. Nomex is like. It's horrifying. Doctor says thank you. Thank you very much. [00:20:25] Speaker A: And it's a Dr. Amen. [00:20:27] Speaker B: It's Dr. Amen. Yeah. [00:20:29] Speaker A: Back from the dead. [00:20:31] Speaker B: He's like cyber Frankenstein. [00:20:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:20:34] Speaker B: This monster Dr. Amen will prove useful to us once again. [00:20:39] Speaker A: Dr. Bose says we cut to the Palisade Cliffs. Is that how you say that? [00:20:44] Speaker B: Palisade Cliffs? That's what I would say. Yeah. [00:20:46] Speaker A: Okay. I don't know. New Jersey. [00:20:49] Speaker B: I don't know. Do they. Do they pronounce stuff funny in New Jersey? I've never been. [00:20:54] Speaker A: David. I've never been. I've been to Tromaville. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Tromaville. If the pollution. If the pollution doesn't get you, the aroma will. [00:21:03] Speaker A: Yep. [00:21:04] Speaker B: They don't have. They don't have the fucking Toxic Avenger musical on Spotify. And it makes me sad because it's a great. It's a great soundtrack. [00:21:11] Speaker A: Oh, really? They don't. [00:21:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Lost Media. [00:21:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I think you can find it on YouTube, though. But. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:19] Speaker B: If you like musicals, search out the. The soundtrack to the. The Toxic Avenger musical. It's great. [00:21:25] Speaker A: It's got a banger song called Liar Whore. Yeah, it's great. [00:21:28] Speaker B: Yeah, it's got a. It's just good. It's just good. [00:21:35] Speaker A: We love the Toxic Avenger. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Yeah, we do. We do. Toxie. We love Simon Ferd iii. [00:21:41] Speaker A: Yes, sir. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Just Melvin, Mel. Oh, yeah, Melvin who's. Yeah, Melvin Melvinford iii. Just mopping while everybody's at the pool. [00:21:50] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:21:51] Speaker B: What are you doing? What are you doing, bud? That's not the time to mop. [00:21:54] Speaker A: He's throwing the juice. [00:21:58] Speaker B: Well, speaking of the juice. There's no juice here. But Peter and Quinlan are, like, whispering around the fire, being like, this fucking sucks. What are we doing here? [00:22:10] Speaker A: Yeah, they're an unhoused encampment. [00:22:13] Speaker B: Yeah. And there's a couple of the longer term residents being like, who the fuck are these new people? Why are they here? And one of the other old time or long time residents is like, nah, just mind your business, dude. We're all here to get away from stuff. They're just trying to survive. [00:22:31] Speaker A: Yeah. They've been there about a week. And we come to find out that Peter's suit hasn't worked since the EMP that Quinlan put off. [00:22:39] Speaker B: Yeah. So Peter's just like, man, I need to. I need to go clear my head, so I'm gonna go for a walk. And Quinlan's like, yeah, I'll go with you. And Peter's like, nah, nah, nah. I gotta go solo. He needs time to think. So Quinlan is just left there by the fire, left with their own thoughts and their guilt, and they're just. This is. This is the Catholicism from the previous issue creeping in here. Johnny just wracked with this. With this guilt, like any good Catholic would be. I'm gonna assume Quinlan is at least was Catholic at some point. We should get. We should get Erica Schultz back to confirm whether or not Quinlan was ever Catholic. Because they're holding onto this guilt with a strong hand. [00:23:20] Speaker A: Yes, they are. [00:23:22] Speaker B: And so, you know, slept there with their own thoughts. They're like, well, I guess I'll. I'll see what my dumb phone can. Can get me. As far as the news, Quinn busts. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Out, you can barely even get the weather. [00:23:34] Speaker B: Yeah. And then as soon as they do that, the. The grumpy long timer is like, hey, what's that? What's that tech? We don't want tech here. Get the tech out of here. No tech here. [00:23:43] Speaker A: He's like, you look familiar. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Yeah. And then Quinlan has to give their dead name, which they. They shiver at every single time they have to do it. But, you know, I guess better dead name than dead body, right? Unfortunately refers to it as a wallet name instead of a dead name, but same, same difference. [00:24:04] Speaker A: I don't understand what that means. Wallet name, wallet name. [00:24:07] Speaker B: It's. Well, it's so not Quinlan isn't Oh, on your wallet. Yeah. Whatever is on your identification. [00:24:16] Speaker A: I get it. I get it. [00:24:18] Speaker B: Mm. And then while this is the. While Quinlan's being interrogated basically by this, this old timer, a couple of the other residents are like, looking out over the river and they're like this with the. There's a fucking. What's that over there? There's a thing coming at us. Yeah. [00:24:34] Speaker A: It looks like fucking. The fucking Superman's coming. [00:24:37] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's fucking Dr. Amen. Just like zooming, zooming over the water to them. [00:24:44] Speaker A: I was like, straight up, just like, let's go get them, boys. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like he's. It's like he's a heat seeking missile. [00:24:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:52] Speaker B: Then we cut from there to Peter is way out on the cliffs walking around, you know, speaking to, speaking to Rhys, being like, come on, man. Rhys, I know, I know you're still looking out for us because, you know, as, as Erica Schultz confirmed, Rhys is that guy who makes sure people are taken care of. And so Peter's like, man, I need, I need your help with this. You got to give me a sign. And then runs into basically a castle turret. And then Peter. I know, real subtle, real subtle, Rhys. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Hell of a sign. [00:25:25] Speaker B: So. So he climbs up and then we cut back to Dr. Aemon, you know, doing a, doing a scan of all these unhomed people, being like, is that. Is that the target? Is that the target? And Dr. Bose is on the other end being like, aan, what you got for me? And it's like I'm. I'm searching. I'm searching for organic life first. And Bose is like, karen. Get Karen first. Karen. We want Karen. And then while this, you know, sort of scan is happening, this old timer, you know, starts getting rough with Quinlan, pushing, pushing him around. Be like, hey, what's you're. What are you doing here? And Quinlan tries to ax tough and said, don't mess back with me. This guy's just like, you know, scare me, kid. Grabs Quinlan by the shirt collar. And then as soon as he does that, Dr. Amon just like blows through. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yep. [00:26:19] Speaker B: So it distracts, Distract this old timer who lets. Lets Quinlan down. And Quinlan just books it. They're just running. And Dr. Amen takes. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Yep. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Dr. Amon takes off after him as Quinlan is the target. And Quinlan is running toward Peter. So that means Dr. Amon's gonna follow. He's just pushing all the rest of the people out of the way. And. [00:26:40] Speaker A: Yeah, and you get more of that Quinlan guilt of. [00:26:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:44] Speaker A: Of that Quinlan Guilt of just, like, not being able to help these people. He's just tossing around like ragdolls. They feel like shit for not trying to help anyone. [00:26:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but they gotta. They gotta find Peter and. Yeah, so. So all the. That old timer who was picking a fight gets. Gets his head cracked against a rock. An ignoble end. And then Dr. Amen is just like. Like laser beam eyes cutting trees behind Quinlan as they fall. As he follows them, Quinlan finds the. The castle turret where Peter is. And Peter's just sitting there being like, damn, Rhys. It is. It is beautiful and it is calm and it is wonderful. And all broken with Peter or Quinlan screaming at Peter and then Dr. Amen. [00:27:28] Speaker A: Just right at Peter, just picking him right up. [00:27:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:33] Speaker A: This is crazy. He just swoops and grabs him and fucking flies away. [00:27:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Just like, holding him aloft. [00:27:38] Speaker A: I love the background of the moon. We see there's like a colony on it. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. It's fantastic. A little detail. And then Aemond is like, Dr. Bose, I have Peter Cairn target acquired. And Bose is like, good, good. Bring him to me. Bring back to us. Bring back to us. And so Quinlan is just like, left as Aemond flies off with Peter. And Petyr starts just, like, punching him, punchin. Trying to get released. And we see back. Back in the camp, the old guy who got his head smashed against a rock is dead. And one of the other residents is just very quickly, like, I get his tent. Dibs on his tent. [00:28:25] Speaker A: Dibs on his tent. [00:28:27] Speaker B: Back to watching Peter struggle with Dr. Amon. And Peter's like, Let me go. And Dr. Amon's like, sure, okay. And just drops Peter and he falls on a spiky, spiky tree stump. Just like, oof, right through his middle. Oh. And then Quinlan comes rushing over like, oh, my God, Peter. Oh, my God, so much blood. So much blood. And Dr. Amon comes by and just like, throws Quinlan away from Peter's body. [00:28:57] Speaker A: Yeah, Just throws them across the field. [00:28:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And they. They get hit so hard that they're like, they're stunned and they can't. They can't move and they can do nothing as they see Dr. Amen, like, get cyberpunk saw blade out of his cyber rope or Frankenstein body and just sposh, bosh, boom. And slice Peter Cairn up, slicing off. [00:29:22] Speaker A: The top of the tree. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Just the top of the tree. He's not. He's not. He's not. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:28] Speaker B: Doing anymore. [00:29:29] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:29:30] Speaker B: There's just a lot of blood involved. I ensued. I assumed there was. [00:29:33] Speaker A: I thought he was just cutting off the top of the tree to, like, take him off of it. Because they're gonna bring him back and use his brain. Because that's what. Because he's like. He didn't have to be alive to be useful, basically, is what he says. [00:29:43] Speaker B: Oh, I thought he said he has to be conscious to be useful. [00:29:45] Speaker A: Yeah, no, he said he doesn't have to be. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well, then I read that. I read that sentence exactly wrong. Okay. [00:29:53] Speaker A: It doesn't really matter. He might be cutting him up. He might be just cutting the tree. [00:29:58] Speaker B: You're right. It looks like it's just the tree because the little swoopy line does go parallel to the body. And never. Never interest. [00:30:07] Speaker A: I took it as he's cutting off the top of the tree to remove the body. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that makes more sense because they're there, but there's just a lot of blood, so it's hard to tell. [00:30:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:16] Speaker B: And then Quinlan's like, peter. Peter was dead. Peter had to be dead. Right. [00:30:22] Speaker A: And then. Boom. His necroplasm. Eyes open. He's got the spawn outline mask. [00:30:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:28] Speaker A: On the necroplasm. And he's awake. [00:30:31] Speaker B: He's awake. And then, boom. End of issue. This is. [00:30:35] Speaker A: This. Boom. Bam. [00:30:36] Speaker B: This is a bombastic little issue. [00:30:38] Speaker A: Yeah, it's crazy. [00:30:40] Speaker B: It took us, like, 15 minutes to get through. Damn. [00:30:43] Speaker A: I mean, these Rat Cities. Action packed, dude. [00:30:46] Speaker B: It moves. It moves. We've. We've said it before. Erica Schultz knows how to make a story that just moves. There's no. No fat, no wasted time. It is paced to perfection and usually very thrilling. I would say each one of them has been very thrilling. I have not been left unthrilled at a single Rat City so far. [00:31:07] Speaker A: No, sir. [00:31:09] Speaker B: And then we got the new generation, new stories, new uad, including the very same in Twitch. We are going to cover next there. Look at that. [00:31:19] Speaker A: Wow. [00:31:20] Speaker B: Interesting. And the Deadly Tales three that we covered a while ago. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Wow. [00:31:26] Speaker B: Wow. [00:31:27] Speaker A: Then we get the Image Classics ad. [00:31:29] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. Yes, we do. [00:31:30] Speaker A: And we get a couple. At least one new toy. I think they might both be new. We've had the Warhammer before. [00:31:36] Speaker B: Yeah, we've had the. We've had the Warhammer before. No, because. Because I mentioned that I like that they put out the unpainted variants, since Warhammer figures always come unpainted and you got to paint them. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Right? Yeah, that's right. You did mention that. [00:31:49] Speaker B: And it's also got the super awesome leather coat. That's a Great little leather coat he's got. [00:31:54] Speaker A: That is cool. But yeah, he's got the Warhammer Mm figures ad. And then we got a new one. This one we haven't seen before. [00:32:01] Speaker B: I've never seen this one before. [00:32:03] Speaker A: It's a House of the Dragon ad for like, these House the Dragon toys. But they're like, not toys. [00:32:07] Speaker B: They're like statues. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Like statues with like a scroll and a bookmark and like a fucking picture and medallion. [00:32:14] Speaker B: It's like a. A bust and a small action figure and then like some stuff that looks like it comes from the world of Westeros. [00:32:21] Speaker A: Good old Westeros. [00:32:22] Speaker B: It also does say dragon sold separately. [00:32:26] Speaker A: Gotta buy that dragon separately. [00:32:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Because those dragons are like 70 bucks a piece. It's cool that I haven't watched House of the Dragon. [00:32:33] Speaker A: I had Game of Thrones, like, it was the time of my life where it was important to me. That time has passed. [00:32:39] Speaker B: It was. Yeah. It ended so poorly that it, like, retroactively spoiled all of it. But it's kind of did. [00:32:47] Speaker A: Honestly, like it did it. [00:32:49] Speaker B: It was a testament to, like, the quality of certain writing and certain actors in that show that I watched it as long as I did. Because I hate. I hate a show where just everybody is nasty. And that is 80% of that show. It's just everybody is nasty and it's. [00:33:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I was definitely into it at the time, but yeah. [00:33:10] Speaker B: Oh, definitely. [00:33:11] Speaker A: The season kind of killed it. [00:33:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Real, real bad. Although it was technically impressive that. That night fight. The night battle. [00:33:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was. It was. [00:33:22] Speaker B: But the rest of it was just like, meh. Hot take. [00:33:25] Speaker A: Johnny hot take. Game of Thrones ending. Not too great. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Not. Not. Not very good. Barrette City. Excellent. And that is Rat City 11. Channing. [00:33:36] Speaker A: What else more can we say? That's it. I'm loving it. Next up, up, we've got Sam and Twitch case files number 11. [00:34:03] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [00:34:05] Speaker A: And we crack this case by starting with the covers. And I got the A cover, the Raymond Gay cover. [00:34:13] Speaker B: I also have the A cover, the Raymond Gay cover. And it is a good cover. [00:34:18] Speaker A: It's badass. It's like classic Sam. He's not as trim as he is in the issue here. [00:34:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he's classic Sam. He's. He's disheveled and he's. He's got his cigarette and just like, giant potbelly. He's just heading into the danger zone, stomach first. [00:34:33] Speaker A: He's got a fucking shotgun and a pistol. Yeah, looks like. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Yeah, he's got like, an Assault shotgun. It's awesome. [00:34:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:40] Speaker B: And. And then Sam is. Sam or Twitch is next to him, holding the flashlight with his revolver in the subway. And it looks. It looks. The. The light makes. It looks like a train might be coming up behind him at any moment. [00:34:55] Speaker A: Hopefully not. Yeah, that's what it looks like. It's cool. [00:35:00] Speaker B: It's excellent. The second cover here, the B cover, the. The Marcofalia cover, looks like it's straight out of Grand Theft Auto because it's Sam and Twitch, you know, looking into the back. So it's. It's like a POV from the trunk of a car, looking out at Sandwich. A pov. Did I say pov? [00:35:27] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, this is the classic Tarantino trunk shot. Yeah, he does it in all of his movies. [00:35:33] Speaker B: It's great. And they got, like. [00:35:36] Speaker A: When they open the trunk and see the cop and Reservoir Dogs, they do it in Pulp Fiction where they get the shotguns. They do it in Kill Bill when she has Sophie in the back of her car. [00:35:46] Speaker B: Mm. [00:35:47] Speaker A: They do it in most of them. [00:35:49] Speaker B: It's good. It's a good. It's a good cover rip. [00:35:52] Speaker A: Michael Madsen, speaking of. [00:35:53] Speaker B: Speaking of Tarantino. Yeah. [00:35:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:56] Speaker B: He was Mr. White. Mr. Gray. [00:35:58] Speaker A: He was Mr. White. [00:35:59] Speaker B: Mister White. [00:36:00] Speaker A: No, that was. That was Harvey Keitel. Here's Mr. Blonde. Mr. Blonde Baby. [00:36:05] Speaker B: There have been at least two separate instances where Wanda has been like, somebody says that I need to watch Reservoir Dogs. Is this a good thing? And it's like, well, first off, yes, Reservoir Dogs is an amazing movie, but no, you should stay as far away from it as possible. Wanda just like, okay, okay, we'll do. [00:36:24] Speaker A: I remember my dad found out I may have told the story before. I don't know. My dad found out I liked it when I was, like, 16, and he had seen it in the theater, which I was like, why did you go see that? My dad. But, like, he just, like, randomly went. And he was like, you like that movie? And I was like, yeah. He's like, that was horrifying. So he cut off that man's ear. I'm like, yeah. I don't like. Like that. I'm not. Like, that's fun. Like, it's fucks. It's fucked up. Like, I like it because it makes me feel emotions. And so you made me watch it with him just to, like, see how I reacted. He's like, so this isn't. I was like, yeah, this is disturbing. Like, I'm sorry. It was just funny. [00:37:03] Speaker B: So what you're saying is your dad never should never know about the. The disgusting things I have seen in my lifetime because then he's going to force me to watch them with him. It's going to be like, okay, now this one really sucks. This one really sucks. [00:37:18] Speaker A: The only other one he ever made me do that with was Evil Dead because I was really into Evil Dead, but luckily I got to. I showed him army of Darkness. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that's a better one to show your dad, definitely. [00:37:31] Speaker A: No, he liked it. And he was like, okay, I see. It's just funny. And I was like, yeah, it's just funny. [00:37:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Because that first thing, that first Evil Dead would be a rough sell. [00:37:41] Speaker A: Yeah. His head would have exploded. [00:37:45] Speaker B: Two probably would have been. [00:37:47] Speaker A: Okay. [00:37:47] Speaker B: Okay. But yeah, army of Darkness is definitely the way to go. [00:37:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good dad movie. [00:37:53] Speaker B: Like all the. All the little bitty tiny ashes. [00:37:58] Speaker A: Dads love you. Dad's love, army of Darkness. [00:38:01] Speaker B: Yeah, mine didn't, unfortunately. [00:38:03] Speaker A: No, it seems like your dad would. From what I know of his taste. [00:38:05] Speaker B: He didn't. Didn't even want to bother with it. [00:38:08] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Much to my chagrin. [00:38:10] Speaker A: He would have liked it. [00:38:12] Speaker B: I mean, I thought so too, but apparently. Apparently that was not. [00:38:17] Speaker A: He knew better. Oh, well. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Yeah, well, Johnny, we know better than to not pop these buffies open and give credit where credit is due, because that is a number one, the key to success. Yeah, we got for this. We got the plot by Todd McFarlane, the script by Jordan barrel and Todd McFarlane. Got art by Thomas Nachchlik with special thanks to Magnus Arts, color by FCO Placentia and color flats by Sheila Saldana. We got the lettering by Tom Orzykowski. We covered the covers. Creative director is Todd McFarlane. The editor in chief is Thomas Healy. And previously and same in Twitch case files, Twitch has a confrontation with a suspect and is left unconscious in an alleyway. [00:39:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it was that dude who's creeping around his house. Yeah, the bar. [00:39:10] Speaker B: Driving. Driving the real. The real person sized version of the. The car that his son plays with that he steps on. [00:39:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:18] Speaker B: Weird. What a weirdo. What is this weirdo guy? The guy who shows up when Twitch is at the bar looking at all these things and he's like, drunk. But you're a cop and you kill the person and that's against your civil code. And then just like. And left. That fucking guy. That guy? [00:39:37] Speaker A: Yeah, he beat him up and put a gun in his hand and fired it. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Yeah. And so we pick up in the immediate aftermath and Twitch is just like all bloodied around the mouth. And his head is pounding, his ears are ringing, and he's just like, don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Which is a real thing you do. Beg to not pass out. I've stood up too quickly from. From gardening a couple of times and just like doubled over and been like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. [00:40:04] Speaker A: Don't do it. [00:40:05] Speaker B: I am not going to pass out from gardening, thank you very much. [00:40:11] Speaker A: Yeah, don't do it. [00:40:12] Speaker B: And then we cut to the open mouth of SAMB and eating a cheeseburger. He's just thinking, what am I reading? And he lists off all of these drugs that were in the perp, the perp's body that. That twitch shut right in the eye. Sam is like, this is $800 worth of pills in this guy's system. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:35] Speaker B: It's like, where does somebody get that kind of variety? [00:40:37] Speaker A: He's talking to the chat bot. He's like, come on, Chatbot, just search. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel, I feel this is a little bit of the Todd father inserting himself, being like technology. AI, AI is. I want to do it the old fashioned way. Come on. And so, so Sam just like quits the cyber stuff and just like marches out to his old ass car to do it. The old ass. The old ass, old school way. AI generative bullshit. I don't need 100 leads. So stupid. And so, yeah, he just starts cruising around. He goes to. To a rundown motel, just like, you know, to the current resident of an informant he has, who is a former suspect slash criminal that he has got. And when he bangs on the door, the guy goes, oh, shit. Sam says, oh, shit is right as he kicks the door in. [00:41:32] Speaker A: Just kicks it in. [00:41:34] Speaker B: That's an absolute baller move from Sam. Yeah, I love, I love this. The Sam. Just Sam and around in this issue. [00:41:44] Speaker A: Oh yeah, this is a great Sam issue. We get some Sam action after a lot of Twitch, the last story arc. [00:41:49] Speaker B: Yeah. And Sam says, I'm irritated Barney, as you can tell. And this, this Barney is used to be a dealer, but he cut a deal with Sam to not be a dealer anymore and he won't go to prison. And Sam is just like, you up. You started selling again. You up. And Barney's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And Twitch. Sam is just like, barney, Barney, my druggles. [00:42:16] Speaker A: Where are the drugs? [00:42:18] Speaker B: Yeah, he walks over to this bag and he opens it Up. And he's like, oh, come on, Barney. Come on. You got these drugs here in this bag. Oh, you piece of shit. And he flushes a little bit, flushes. [00:42:28] Speaker A: Him down the toilet. [00:42:29] Speaker B: And Barney's just like, no, no, no, please, no. I needed that. [00:42:35] Speaker A: One time in college, do you remember that text to speech, like the thing on the Internet where you could use. I don't remember what it was called. Chat relay or IP relay or something. Chat relay. And you could type and, like, a person would read it to someone. It was like, for people with disabilities and stuff like that. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:53] Speaker A: We would use it to prank call people because they had to say whatever you typed out. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Pretty much, yeah. [00:42:59] Speaker A: And one time we prank called a guy at my dorm. We left the voicemail, this is the government. We are coming for your drugs. We know you have them. And then he flushed his drugs down the toilet because he thought it was real. [00:43:12] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:43:14] Speaker A: I felt so terrible. [00:43:15] Speaker B: Oh, that's. I don't. I don't like that, Johnny. [00:43:18] Speaker A: No. [00:43:18] Speaker B: Like that. No, I'm not. I'm not a big pranks guy, all right? [00:43:22] Speaker A: I didn't do it. I'm not still pranking people. I was, like, fucking 19 years old. [00:43:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I know, I know. I understand. But that's sad. That guy. That guy probably spent a lot of money on this. I know. I'm Captain Buzz Kill Johnny. This is known. [00:43:38] Speaker A: Okay, well, I'm not gonna tell any more stories then. [00:43:41] Speaker B: As long as they don't involve pranks, we'll be good. [00:43:44] Speaker A: Okay. I'm not like a prankster. I'm not like the Batman villain. It was like the only prank ever pulled. There has a couple more, but like, oh, come on. [00:43:57] Speaker B: I just. I just ruined the entire vibe. Sorry, Johnny. [00:44:01] Speaker A: No, I don't care. Twitch like. Or Sam. Sam's like, yo, why do you got this? You're not dealing. He's like, I don't know. I'm just using, man. I'm just using. [00:44:11] Speaker B: And Sam's like, oh, shit, you're just using. You're not dealing. Oh, my bad. Just, like, throws some money at him. He's like, this should cover what I flushed. [00:44:20] Speaker A: He throws him, like, 70 bucks or something. Intense, strangely enough. [00:44:23] Speaker B: Yeah. And then as he leaves the door, he throws another bill and he's like, I can fix this door. [00:44:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:31] Speaker B: Oh, it's absolutely wonderful. So Sam goes from there to a place, a place he knows where drugs are sold. And he says the opening reading, which. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Is, good afternoon, drug dealers. How are sales today? [00:44:46] Speaker B: It's incredible. [00:44:47] Speaker A: And Then they say, we don't sell OIC Fat man. [00:44:52] Speaker B: An absolute. An absolutely wonderful bit of writing. He's like, hey, I heard one of you guys sold all of your drugs last week in one go. I need to talk to that person. They're like, what the fuck are you talking. We're not gonna talk to you. And he's like, well, you know, you know, what if I told you a cop, would that. Would that loosen your lips? And the guy, one of the guys is like, nah, what the fuck you talking about? I know you're just lying. And then the. This old guy named Lenny comes up and he's like, he is a cop. He will kick your ass. Sam says, listen to your father, kids. [00:45:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:27] Speaker B: Oh, the one liners are amazing. And so Sam and Twitter. Sam and Lenny apparently go way back. And so, yeah, you know, you know, Lenny's asking about Twitch, and Sam's like, you know, this. This is why I'm here, you know, trying to. Trying to get this. This shit settled. And so they go to a diner. Johnny, it has been so long since I have seen a restaurant with one of these lights. [00:45:49] Speaker A: It's like, I think classic lights. [00:45:51] Speaker B: I think the last time I was at a place with one of these lights was as a. The Goldies in Stillwater. [00:45:57] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:45:58] Speaker B: Damn. [00:45:58] Speaker A: That's a classic restaurant light. I love a diner. I just went to Golden. [00:46:03] Speaker B: Golden Nugget. [00:46:04] Speaker A: Yeah, Golden Nugget. [00:46:05] Speaker B: Nice. [00:46:06] Speaker A: It was good. I got waffle and eggs, hash browns. [00:46:10] Speaker B: There's a. There's a classic greasy spoon in the Pittsfield building called the Pittsfield Diner downtown. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [00:46:16] Speaker B: That. That's always. That's always where I go after my annual physical that I've had to. That I've had to fast for. So I get a clean bill of health and then eat just like so much fucking processed pork product, dude. [00:46:32] Speaker A: I live, Lord, I live. My doctor. I just did this. My doctor is right by Wendy's. So every year when I have to do my annual. I'm so hungry, I just immediately go to the Wendy's after that. [00:46:43] Speaker B: Nice. I mean, Wendy's is good. They're. They've got like breakfast potatoes in the last couple. [00:46:48] Speaker A: Those breakfast potatoes are dope. [00:46:49] Speaker B: They're amazing. [00:46:50] Speaker A: They're really good. And their breakfast sandwiches are good too. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Yeah, they got like the Breakfast Baconator. That is just a Baconator with sausage patties instead of hamburger patties. It's pretty solid. [00:46:59] Speaker A: Never had that. I've had like their. The little croissant sandwiches. Those are good. There's Like a chicken one. Like a honey chicken one. That's really good. [00:47:06] Speaker B: Nice. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Honey chicken and bacon. [00:47:08] Speaker B: I think Wendy's is just a good. I like Wendy's. [00:47:11] Speaker A: I love Wendy's. [00:47:12] Speaker B: I love Wendy's. But. Yeah, so. So they're at this diner, and Sam's, you know, giving information so he can get some information. And Lenny is just like, what was this motherfucker on? And Sam's like, everything. He should have been dead two days before or he was dead two days before. And so Lenny's like a zombie drug. What's this zombie drug? And Sam's like, I know it's unpleasant and, you know, nobody wants to think about it, but I gotta find whatever supplier this could be. And then he's like, this is this guy you gotta talk to down at 42nd. The 42nd street doc. Maybe. Maybe he'll have some info for you. He's well versed in all the new products. [00:47:53] Speaker A: And this dude. This dude with a righteous ponytail comes. [00:47:56] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's like, this ain't a good look for you, Lenny. Talking to cops. He's like, don't talk like you know me. And it's like, what's it to you if this guy's a cop? So this guy calls Lenny a rat. He's like, you dirty rat. You killed my brother. [00:48:11] Speaker A: And he says, rats are dirty, just like pigs. Are you a dirty pig, too? To Sam, which, you know, yeah. [00:48:16] Speaker B: He says, I think you need to leave. You're mumbling, piggy. What'd you say? So Sam. [00:48:21] Speaker A: Sam just throws him out a window. [00:48:24] Speaker B: And then just, like, pleasantly says, see you, Lenny. Let me know if you hear anything new. [00:48:30] Speaker A: And then just walks over the body. [00:48:32] Speaker B: Walks over this dude. So Sam goes back to his car, starts jetting down in one of his little notebooks some information, and then drives to the 42nd street dock. And he's like, well, guess what? It's stakeout time. And just, like, posts himself up from there. We cut back to the police headquarters with the Cybercrime Division. Sam's friend in the. Or Twitch's friend in the cyber. Wait, no. Sam's friend in the Cyber Crimes Division who's helping with Twitch's case. There we go. [00:49:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:02] Speaker B: You know the. The background trick that she promised Sam she'd run on this. This mystery guy that Twitch sat in the eye, but who had so many drugs. He had been dead for two days. It's just. It's just taking so long. It is 4% completed and has almost 17 hours to go. And she's like, ah, jeez, I gotta get out of here. My kid's got a soccer game. Like, her co worker is like, tell your kid to score two goals. [00:49:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:28] Speaker B: Which is. It's. It's very hard to score a goal in soccer. And much less two. Just. Just one. [00:49:34] Speaker A: I don't know if I ever did in my soccer career in elementary school. I'm not sure. [00:49:38] Speaker B: The only one I ever did was because the. It was against. I was a very bad child soccer player. I didn't pay attention. I picked the flowers. You know, I was. That kid. There was a goalie who was more distracted than I was. And he just, like, watched the ball slowly go between his legs because he wasn't like, oh, I'm supposed to stop the ball. He just watched the ball. It was. It was awesome. [00:50:05] Speaker A: I'm proud of you, David. [00:50:06] Speaker B: I'm. I was proud of myself too. It was a good feeling. But. Yeah. [00:50:10] Speaker A: So we follow Detective Chan's leaving. [00:50:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Noreen. It's her first name. So she. She exit the building, and then she walks by an alley and she's like, what the is that? And she goes back and it's Twitch. She's like, twitch. [00:50:25] Speaker A: So she's got the gun that was planted on him. [00:50:27] Speaker B: Yeah. She calls the. And the officer down, and she's like, this better not be your gun, Twitch. [00:50:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:32] Speaker B: And then we cut back to Sam, and Sam is just like, stakeouts is boring. And then hours later, somebody finally shows up. It's a car that's too nice to be a warehouse operators. And so Sam reaches for his phone so he can take a picture of it. And it's like, oh, shit, my phone has been blowing up. Six missed calls. [00:50:55] Speaker A: Not a great feeling. [00:50:57] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no, it's not. And he's looking at the text and she's saying, twitch is hurt. Where are you? Pick up the goddamn phone. And so Sam is just like, oh. And he hauls ass out of there. And then as we pass this fancy car that's too expensive for warehouse operators, we see it is the ponytail jerk. [00:51:15] Speaker A: From the table he threw through the window. Yeah. [00:51:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Who says, bye, bye, piggy, as Sam drives away. Then we're at the hospital, and Sam is just like, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, elevator. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. He gets there, and some of the officers that are doing security or you know, the chapping is chapping his ass a little bit. About time you showed up. And Sam was like, set the perimeter. Set the set the perimeter. Perimeter. Perimeter set. Yeah. Did you do it? And he goes in and he immediately starts yelling at Twitch. Jesus Christ, what happened? Yeah, and then, you know, he's like, what the fuck? I mean, Howard, does it hurt? Twitch is just like, yeah, I'm fine. Did you see Helen and the kids? Helen and the kids were just here. And the nurse next to him is like, hey, guess what? He's got a concussion. We got to make sure he doesn't go to sleep. [00:52:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:11] Speaker B: And you know, Twitch tries to sell him a bill of goods. And Sam is like, no, don't give me that bar fight. You don't get. I get into bar fights, not you. Yeah, we cut from. From Sam asking what really happened to Noreen at. Back at her desk, presumably after the. Did she go to the soccer game? Ooh, I don't. [00:52:35] Speaker A: Maybe she came back after. [00:52:36] Speaker B: Yeah, but she's. It's after. It's after because all the lights are off and she's there by herself and she's looking into this gun that was next to Twitch's body. And she's looking up at serial number and she's like, let's see if there are any active files of this gun. And hoo boy, it is not a good gun to be having next to your body with your fingerprints on it, Johnny. [00:52:56] Speaker A: Nope. It's been used in multiple homicides, execution style. [00:52:59] Speaker B: Yeah, Norion just says, jesus, Twitch, what have you gotten yourself into? Then we get Boom. Blood splatter spawn. [00:53:08] Speaker A: Blood splatter spawn. Blood splattered spawn logo. Splattered spawn splo blow. [00:53:14] Speaker B: That's a new. That's a new warm up vocal. Warm up blood splattered spawn logo. [00:53:19] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:53:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:21] Speaker A: Get a couple toy ads we've seen before. [00:53:23] Speaker B: Yes, indeed, that Spawn issue number one inspired statue. The. Our favorite UFC toys. [00:53:33] Speaker A: We love the UFC toys. [00:53:35] Speaker B: We are ultimate fans of the ultimate fighting. [00:53:40] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:53:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. The new generation, new stories. New. You add very nice deadly tales of the gunslinger there. We like that image. Classic Z is the back panel or back cover ad. And that is Sam and Twitch case files number 11, Johnny. [00:53:59] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:54:00] Speaker B: Yes, it is indeed. And well, Johnny, it continues to be just so many dogs asleep here. And we all know that they are very good when they sleep. Even if even a back dog is a good dog when it's asleep. So we gotta. We gotta rate these puppies before we go any further. [00:54:20] Speaker A: It's time to rate the puppies. First up, we had rat City Number 11. An action packed romp. It's just like they're there. Eamon comes. It's chaos, it's crazy, but it's this classic Rat City. It's, it moves. It's got great characters. [00:54:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:48] Speaker A: The colors and just the. It feels electric. The vibrancy of it is just amazing. Like the colors on a man's suit with his like neon orange kind of like trail and just all the neons. [00:55:03] Speaker B: And it's just, even, even the unhomed, the unhomed individuals are all like, they're in vibrant colors. It's, it's, it's like. [00:55:11] Speaker A: It just feels like the future. [00:55:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:13] Speaker A: I don't know, what can I say? It was. It's action packed. We get danger, we get a great cliffhanger. [00:55:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:20] Speaker A: I would give it. I mean, I'm going to give it. I would give it Four and a half castles on the Jersey coast. [00:55:27] Speaker B: Nice. The old Jersey castle. I agree. This book, it's great. This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It just books it. It's got no time for you to be bored with an entertaining story, Johnny. It has pushed boredom to the nether realm and it just goes. Literally the worst part of this is that it ends. [00:55:55] Speaker A: Yeah. It just seems so short and it's the only thing. [00:55:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:59] Speaker A: But I mean that's just. It goes so fast. In a good way. [00:56:01] Speaker B: Yeah. But now, now that 12 is already out, you could just like right into the story. [00:56:06] Speaker A: Right into it. [00:56:07] Speaker B: Yeah. I am gonna give it four dibs on a dead man's tent. [00:56:11] Speaker A: Ooh, dibs on a dead man's tent. That's a good book name. [00:56:16] Speaker B: It's wonderful. It's so good. And the zay Carlos art. We gotta, gotta mention again that it's fucking incredible. [00:56:23] Speaker A: The characters, faces and just the tech, it's all. He does it all so well. [00:56:28] Speaker B: Yeah. The fucking smug bastard Dr. Bose on this first page is just incredible. Like his little, his little shit eating grin when he says thank you to Dr. Nomek. Saying that's horrifying is just. It's perfect. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And just the emotion she gets out of Quinlan. The emotion he gets out of Quinlan. [00:56:49] Speaker B: And Dr. Bose is fucking frightening. [00:56:52] Speaker A: Yeah, you mean Ayman. [00:56:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. Ayman. Yeah, Ayman. Sorry, already talking. [00:56:56] Speaker A: Yeah, he's just like a heat. He's just a heat seeking missile that just comes in there. It's just shocking. [00:57:00] Speaker B: It's. [00:57:01] Speaker A: Holy shit. [00:57:01] Speaker B: It's like he is. He has gone from, you know, sort of like a mid villain to. He's. He's basically become Jaws from James Bond with his fucking. [00:57:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:13] Speaker B: Teeth. [00:57:15] Speaker A: Yeah. And Peter might be dead, but it looks like he's coming back. And I'm excited to see how that ends up. [00:57:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, Johnny, we do know that one of the quickest ways to become a spawn is to die. [00:57:28] Speaker A: It's true. [00:57:28] Speaker B: It almost always happens that way. [00:57:30] Speaker A: Brings you closer to hell. Cool. [00:57:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:33] Speaker A: What'd you give it? [00:57:34] Speaker B: I gave it four dibs on a dead man's tent. [00:57:37] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, yeah. Dead man's tent. I was just so impressed by the name dibs on a dead man's tent, I forgot. Must have been hitting the weed pan, because I'm off today. [00:57:45] Speaker B: Well, I mean, if this is. This is a necroplasmically themed podcast. Johnny, you gotta get that green smoke. You gotta. [00:57:53] Speaker A: You gotta do it. [00:57:53] Speaker B: You gotta do it. I can't. [00:57:55] Speaker A: Drugs. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Speaking of drugs, we got Sam Twitch. [00:57:59] Speaker A: Case files number 11, which is A. It Also Fun Sam issue. It moves. It's a fun Sam issue, seeing him run around. I like Sam Burke a lot. He's one of my favorite spawn characters, so it's good to see him take the limelight. [00:58:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:14] Speaker A: Again, the Thomas Nashlick art just really fits the story. Really fits the tone. [00:58:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. It's so. So gritty and grimy and just. [00:58:24] Speaker A: Yeah. I like this Sam that's a little more in shape. I like new Sam. [00:58:28] Speaker B: Yeah, he's. He's. He's more of a. He's more of an imposing, terrifying figure than. [00:58:33] Speaker A: Yeah. When he busts in on Barney there, it's a little scary. [00:58:36] Speaker B: Yeah. This nasty ass hotel room. Jesus motel. Sorry. So good. [00:58:42] Speaker A: I mean, I like where the second arc is going. I think that the addition of Jordan Barrel is helping. I like this one better than the first arc so far. [00:58:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:51] Speaker A: Just feels a little more nuanced and less. I don't know, it just. I like it better. [00:58:58] Speaker B: Much. It's much less of a jumble because. [00:59:01] Speaker A: It feels a little more precise. [00:59:03] Speaker B: Yeah. The first arc was a bit of a mystery to solve. And then when we get to solving the mystery, it's just like that's. That's just a pile of stuff. That's. Whereas this. This has. Yeah, that's just a very distinct. [00:59:16] Speaker A: I'm just curious where it's going. Like, I like the issue. I'm gonna give it four orders of pancakes. [00:59:23] Speaker B: Hell yeah. It's good. That's a good order of pancakes, Johnny. [00:59:28] Speaker A: Four pancakes. That's a big one. Yeah, Zeiner pancakes. Usually pretty big, unless you're getting like a little short stack or something. [00:59:34] Speaker B: I don't know. Yeah, there's a. There's a place I like that has pancakes that are literally too big for the plates that they put them on. It's awesome. [00:59:43] Speaker A: The syrups just are spilling over, basically. [00:59:45] Speaker B: Yeah, you have to. You have to syrup bite by bite for, like, at least the first half this. Watching Sam, just getting to Sam around and be the main character and just do what he's best at is incredible. There's. There's a reason that. That Sam and Twitch live so large in not only our heads, but a lot of people fucking love Sam and Twitch. A good half of it is because of Sam Burke being fucking Sam Burke. He's great. I am going to give this four Sam one liners because he's got a lot of one liners in here and all of them were perfect. The art, as always. Yes. The art is just perfect for the tone. I love where it's going and I'm excited to get to the reveal. Not. Not to jump to the reveal, but to get there. It's the. This is. This is very much one of those that the. The journey to the end is more satisfying than whatever the ending is going to be. Just. [01:00:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm really curious about what's going on with this drug guy. I want to know. [01:00:51] Speaker B: It's real good. Well, that's. Those puppies rated Jenny. Very good. They're very good. And you know what else is very good, Johnny? [01:00:57] Speaker A: Our friends on Instagram. [01:00:58] Speaker B: Our friends on Instagram. Yes, indeed. And this week we want to shout out somebody who's thematic, at least in their. Their title, but also they. It's a. It's a relatively new account for showcasing a very particular collection. That collection being Spawn. And this week we want to shout out ratcity Comics. Right now, they just got two posts. They've got a picture of a signed issue number one that they got slapped and then a picture of a statue. [01:01:31] Speaker A: Pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, get in. Follow on the ground floor. They said the account is for my Spawn addiction based in Germany. [01:01:38] Speaker B: Oh, not a. Not a statue. They've got pictures of their number ones and a signed image by Greg Capullo. There we go. I was thinking of something different, but yeah, get on the ground floor. [01:01:54] Speaker A: Give him a follow. [01:01:55] Speaker B: We love following people's spawn addictions. It's the only addiction that we won't ask for you to seek help for. I might. You might say, Johnny, that we might be a little bit of a spawn addict, too. [01:02:08] Speaker A: Oh, we are. [01:02:09] Speaker B: And we also do some posting on Instagram. [01:02:13] Speaker A: We do. We are Regarding Spawn Pod. Regarding Spawn Spot on Instagram. [01:02:18] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [01:02:19] Speaker A: Give us a follow.

Yeah, so far we've done it all day. Yes.

And this week I would ask, what do you think about this central mystery in Sam and Twitch? You think it's going to be supernatural or you think it's going to be non supernatural? This dead guy? [01:03:17] Speaker B: It's. That's an interesting question, Johnny. Because it would be. [01:03:21] Speaker A: Because they could. It could go supernatural. They could do it. [01:03:23] Speaker B: It would be very easy to be like, there's a supernatural element here. But with the way that they've set up all of these new titles, it seems like. It seems like they've specifically pointed this one to be like, we're gonna make this one just be like, real fucking pretty and. And down to earth. [01:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:46] Speaker B: As little as little hocus pocus as possible. [01:03:48] Speaker A: So, yes, it'd be interesting to see it be supernatural, but I don't think it's going to be. [01:03:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I wouldn't be upset if it were supernatural, but like, like, literally the only time so far in 11 issues that spawn has showed up has been Twitch walking away from being like, not now. I gotta go home. [01:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah, leave me alone. [01:04:07] Speaker B: So I think. I think that's like emblematic of their. Their pushing. Their pushing their missions inside. It's fun. [01:04:14] Speaker A: Yep. Well, let us know what you think. [01:04:17] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely, do that. Also, we know what you should think about Lonnie Bones, and that is that he is amazing. So find some Lonnie Bones on the Internet. Just Google Lonnie Bones music. He does our music. And you should very much like him because we like him. And there's no reason to not like him. Because it's good. [01:04:38] Speaker A: Absolutely. [01:04:40] Speaker B: Yeah. It's real good. You know what else is real good, Johnny? Telling your Friends and family liking and subscribing, following, giving. Giving some ratings and reviews. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Absolutely. Rate, Review. Subscribe, baby. [01:04:53] Speaker B: We love a rating and review and subscribe. Yeah, we like a subscription. If you talk to either of us, you would let us know. We would tell you that. Subscriptions. We do subscriptions. Do we do more subscriptions than we should? Probably, but we like subscription and all. [01:05:10] Speaker A: The ones in my comic shop. [01:05:13] Speaker B: Yeah. So. Well, speaking of comics at the comic shop, Johnny, they just keep putting these things out. They keep saying, hey, hey, we got. We got more story for you. [01:05:22] Speaker A: So I know it's getting hard to keep up, but we're gonna try. [01:05:24] Speaker B: We're gonna try. Well, how are we gonna keep up with this, Johnny? We got. We got some new Spawn that we got to cover. And what new spot specifically do you want to cover for next time? [01:05:34] Speaker A: We're doing spawn 364 and king spawn 45. [01:05:38] Speaker B: Hell yeah. We got the year of spawn. Spawn 364. [01:05:42] Speaker A: Spawn 364, baby. [01:05:43] Speaker B: Yeah. King spawn 45. Oh, love kingspawn right now. It's so good. [01:05:52] Speaker A: It is. I'm excited to talk about him. [01:05:54] Speaker B: Roy McConville is just beating the pants off of everything he touches. Yep, it's real good. Well, yeah. So find yourself a copy of Spawn364 and Kingspawn45 and give them a read. Come back in a week and give us a listen. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Absolutely. We'll be here. [01:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah, we will. We'll be talking it. We'll be reading it. We'll be talking it. We'll be recording it and releasing it. [01:06:18] Speaker A: And releasing it. Well, today we are now released. [01:06:22] Speaker B: Yes. [01:06:22] Speaker A: Because it is Independence day. It is July 4th when we're recording. [01:06:25] Speaker B: Yes. [01:06:26] Speaker A: And now this ends our episode. [01:06:29] Speaker B: And Johnny is excited for freedom from being shackled because his co host chained him to the chair. [01:06:36] Speaker A: It was my idea to record two episodes of the Force. [01:06:39] Speaker B: To be fair, I thought you were gonna say it was your idea to be changed the chair. [01:06:43] Speaker A: Oh, I mean, maybe. [01:06:45] Speaker B: Hey, hey. [01:06:45] Speaker A: Depends on. Depends on who's doing the chaining. Mr. Sex Talk over here. [01:06:50] Speaker B: Well, in this case, you would have to chain yourself because could you imagine me biking over to your apartment, chaining you to your chair and being like, okay, in 45 minutes, I'm going to get on. You better still be there. [01:07:02] Speaker A: Please don't. I can't imagine it. I hate it. [01:07:07] Speaker B: That would be so cruel. Because I would get on and you would immediately be like, dave, I gotta go to the bathroom. And it'd be like, I have I still have the key, Johnny. Okay, hold on. I gotta get back over there. [01:07:17] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [01:07:19] Speaker B: Just biking back and forth all day instead of. Instead of doing report record on podcast. [01:07:25] Speaker A: A report. [01:07:26] Speaker B: A report. We got a real good report. [01:07:31] Speaker A: Nova. Now we're free to go eat hot dogs and listen to John Philip Sousa. [01:07:37] Speaker B: Yeah, man, I gotta give me a hot dog. [01:07:42] Speaker A: I know it would be good. [01:07:43] Speaker B: It makes me want a hot dog real bad. Maybe watch Legally Blonde, too, because that's a. Got that. Got that quote. You look like the Fourth of July. It makes me want a hot dog real bad. It's a good movie. [01:07:56] Speaker A: I like Legally Blonde. Yeah. [01:07:57] Speaker B: Yeah. It's fun. Well, I should probably stop talking about things that are tangential to either Independence Day or Spawn and just come out and say, johnny, may the Scorch be with you. [01:08:12] Speaker A: And also with you, David. [01:08:13] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [01:08:15] Speaker A: God bless you, David. God bless America. [01:08:19] Speaker B: And John Philip Sousa. [01:08:21] Speaker A: And Bill Pullman as the president in Independence Day. [01:08:25] Speaker B: Good president. [01:08:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I'd vote for him. [01:08:27] Speaker B: Yeah, he. Yeah, he gets in that cockpit and he. He's going to fight those aliens. [01:08:32] Speaker A: And he does. [01:08:33] Speaker B: And he does. He's a man of action. [01:08:36] Speaker A: This cut in the. Today we celebrate our Independence Day. [01:08:40] Speaker B: Okay. That works. [01:08:43] Speaker A: Even though it's two weeks after. [01:08:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's fine. That's. We brought it up. [01:08:48] Speaker A: Yep. Today we celebrate our Independence Day. Sam, it.
