Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: I must make this right. I must start anew. I will be reborn.
Good evening and welcome to the Malibu. This is regarding Spawn, the world's best Spawn podcast. I'm your co host, John Fisher.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: And I am your co host, David Williams. And Johnny. Johnny. It was a. You missed it, Johnny. It's the first cool day in Chicago.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: It was cool.
[00:00:53] Speaker B: Yeah. The rain came in and it was like 60 degrees. Oh, man, it was the perfect day to have a cat, a cup of tea, and a book and do nothing. And yet I had to go to work.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: There's like 75 in Oklahoma, man.
Which felt cool because it was like 88.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the way Oklahoma does.
[00:01:16] Speaker A: We can't start every episode now comparing the weather now that we live in different states.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: That's what you think?
[00:01:21] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:01:23] Speaker B: What do you think? 75% of my conversations with my mom.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: Are comparing the weather.
So you talk to me like you talk to your mother?
[00:01:32] Speaker B: I mean, I talked to everybody. Like, Johnny. Yes. I talk to you like I talked to my mother.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God, Johnny.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: God. Why do you. Johnny, here's what you gotta do.
[00:01:43] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:01:44] Speaker B: I'm just gonna be exasperated with you the whole time.
[00:01:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, right.
Well, we all know how that goes.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: My mom bought a Prius and I was teaching her how to use it.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Not very exacerbating. She's. Or exacerbating? Exasperated.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: Exasperated.
Exacerbating is something.
[00:02:03] Speaker A: And I did not exacerbate the situation.
No, she got her Prius recently, and I was teaching her how to use it.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: Nice. Very exciting.
Does. Can you customize the weird noise it makes so people don't get run over on accident?
[00:02:16] Speaker A: That'd be cool if. Yeah, the noise, it just makes like a. Like a. Like a whistle tip.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: Yeah, that's always.
[00:02:22] Speaker A: Feels like a whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
[00:02:24] Speaker B: Oh, Bub Rub. I wonder what Bub Rub's up to. Is Bub Rub still around?
[00:02:28] Speaker A: You should be up cooking breakfast.
[00:02:34] Speaker B: I like old. I like old Internet stuff. I got to bust out an Ican has cheeseburger today. That was exciting.
[00:02:40] Speaker A: That's. Oh, wow.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah, like. Like it came up naturally.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: Sorry, I meant to turn into an owl and say, oh, really?
[00:02:48] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:02:49] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:02:51] Speaker B: Trying to explain the height of the.
I has a bucket. To my employees who have not lived in a world where the World Trade Center's towers were standing, and it did not go over very well. They were just like, the fuck is this?
[00:03:06] Speaker A: You're like, can I have. Can I have cheeseburger and they're like, can I have my fucking Twin Towers back?
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Hey, don't Forget about Building 7.
[00:03:15] Speaker A: I'll never forget. I know it's a controlled demolition. I know all about Building seven, David.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Well, then why don't you enlighten us?
[00:03:22] Speaker A: Well, in the rubble of Building 7 in the future, they built an area called Rat City. Oh, yeah. And it started. The rubble of Building 7 is where it started.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: So. So Rat City built on the rubble of.
[00:03:35] Speaker A: Actually, we know where Rat City is. They explain in that documentary. And I'm probably like making Erica Schultz cringe to a. By saying it's the wrong part of New York.
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Because I. I know that there was like a. A section of New York that was demolished to make way for the World Trade center was known as. I think it was known as.
It was either Radio Row or Radio City. And it was like where people went to get all their radio components. Okay, so it sounds to me like a place that Seymour.
Seymour Krelbourne would have spent a lot of time.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: Is he a radio guy?
[00:04:10] Speaker B: No, from Little Chap Horse.
[00:04:12] Speaker A: Does he listen to the radio a lot?
[00:04:13] Speaker B: Well, he was on the radio.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: What the fuck are you talking about?
[00:04:18] Speaker B: Seymour Crowboard. Seems like.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: Yeah, I know what you mean. He'd go to a radio. He would go to a radio component shop.
[00:04:24] Speaker B: He seems like the kind of guy who would. What else was he supposed to do? I guess plants, I guess. He does.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: He does listen to the radio.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: He does listen to the radio. He goes around to all the little shops. Cuz, you know, he hates little shop. Yeah, it's a little shop. Little shops is chefs. It's the second episode in a row.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: How does your brain work? Sometimes I don't understand how you get to Seymour Krellborn from the World Trade Cent Wire Shops.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: Johnny, if you figure it out, please let me know. Because I would like to have a map, please.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Okay, I need.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: I need like an Indiana Jones style map with a little red line telling me how I can. How I get from A to Z.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: How you get the A to Z. Well, as long as you get there, that's all that matters.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Hey, hey. It's the journey is the destination, as they say.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: And our destination today is some issues from Spawn's universe. Because we are regarding Spawn, where each week will be two issues from Spawn's universe.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Yes, indeed.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Except when we don't.
[00:05:19] Speaker B: Except for when it's no different to make way for the World Trade Towers. What is that? Except for when it's demolished to make way for the World Trade center to.
[00:05:27] Speaker A: Only get demolished 20 years later.
How long was it standing? 20 something years.
[00:05:32] Speaker B: Well, I mean, they were built in the.
They were finished in like 73. They were finished in the 70s.
[00:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right, because they were in King Kong.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah. They were like. They were like brand spanking new in King Kong. Oh, man.
I was just thinking again about a young Jeff Bridges and young Jessica Lang.
[00:05:50] Speaker A: Yes, it is Jessica Lang.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: It's a brutal. It's a brutal movie that are that 70s King Kong. I almost said that the original King Kong, but that was not the original.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: That movie is brutal too. Yeah, the original.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: I. I haven't seen very much of the. I've. I've seen, you know, the classic claymation attacked with the biplane.
That's.
[00:06:09] Speaker A: Sure. I watched the entirety of it multiple times. And the Peter Jackson was good too.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: I don't. I don't have a week to devote to watching the Peter Jackson one. That was the problem.
[00:06:19] Speaker A: That's the problem. I know. Like the original one's like an hour. It's like an hour and one minute long. And the Peter Jackson one's like, look, my cut matches my shirt.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah. That's what they call accessible.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: They're both pink. Well, I was on track. I was saying we were doing two issues response Universe. Except when we don't.
This week is no different.
We had two issues with Squad Universe. King Kong got nothing on distracted me, David.
Because we got Rat City 14 and Sam and Twitch 14. We got two 14s.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: Hell yeah.
[00:06:51] Speaker A: Rat City, Sam and Twitch.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
Real, real good. Real good shit.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: Some real good weird issue with Sam and Twitch.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: I mean, I enjoyed the hell out of it, but yeah, it's weird. It's bonkers. It's banana balls.
[00:07:05] Speaker A: There's a lot in there. It's jam packe.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: It veers real hard into the weirdo. It's gonzo, Jon.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: It's gonzo cuckoo bananas.
And also today is a preview. Because I'm so excited about it, we have a special Todd's Toy Talk.
[00:07:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Yeah.
[00:07:25] Speaker A: A returning segment.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: I love doing Todd's Toy Talk. We don't do it enough, Johnny.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Once I get settled here, I can open up all that shit.
There's so much more space in Oklahoma, David.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: You could just. Yeah, you can. All the. The prairies and the fields.
[00:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: Where the buffalo and the. The spawn action figures play.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:07:48] Speaker B: No, it's the buffalo roam. It's the deer and the antelope. Jesus Christ.
[00:07:53] Speaker A: The buffalo don't play. They just Roam.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: They just. They just wait for you to.
To do something stupid and trample your ass, hopefully. Yeah.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: They deserve their revenge.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Yeah, they do.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: And we deserve to die.
[00:08:07] Speaker B: Absolutely, Johnny.
We have no redeeming value as a species.
That's a little more.
[00:08:14] Speaker A: No, definitely not. Yeah. I've been spending a lot of time with my parents, so I've been both watching Fox News and msnbc, so.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: Very nice.
[00:08:23] Speaker A: Really infuriating on both ends.
[00:08:27] Speaker B: You gotta.
[00:08:29] Speaker A: It's almost as if cable news is bad for you.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: Yeah, well, Johnny, at least like the good book says it's not. You're not lukewarm. You are hot or you are cold.
So you're getting the hot. You're getting the hot in the cold. So that means you're worthy. You won't be spat out for being lukewarm.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: I'm seeing both ends of the. Both ends of the.
Burning both ends of the candle. Burning the candle at both ends.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: Yeah, there we go.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: Something like that.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: Two.
Two hands in a bush.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: I. You know what? I would be happy to just look at a bird in the bush. I don't.
I don't need to even just one of them. I don't need to hold on to a bird.
[00:09:10] Speaker A: What if you're gonna eat it, though?
[00:09:11] Speaker B: I mean, if I'm. Yeah, if I'm gonna eat it. Yeah, probably.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: I think that's what it. That's what it's referring to.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Maybe. So maybe. Maybe you're killing two birds in one bush with your hand. Wait.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: I don't know.
I never thought about it.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: Welcome to Regarding Spawn Knights, y'. All.
[00:09:28] Speaker A: David's brain isn't as sharp.
[00:09:30] Speaker B: It gets. It gets real weird. It gets real weird over here with me too.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: So David gets weird at night. David's like a werewolf.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: The freaks. They do come out at night, Johnny.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: Or were weird.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: The. The full moon comes out and I become somehow stranger than I am.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: It's super moon right now, isn't it? Or yesterday was supermoon.
[00:09:54] Speaker B: I don't think it was quite full yesterday. Was it?
[00:09:56] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:09:56] Speaker B: You wanna.
[00:09:56] Speaker A: It's pretty big.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: It was pretty big.
[00:09:59] Speaker A: That was pretty, at least. No, we're looking on the same moon, David. Even though we're in different states now.
[00:10:03] Speaker B: It'S looking down on. On both of us.
[00:10:05] Speaker A: Mr.
[00:10:06] Speaker B: Moon's smiling on you, Mr. Oh, what's his name? The Moon man from McDonald's.
[00:10:13] Speaker A: Mac tonight, baby.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: Mac tonight.
Mac tonight is singing. Us singing about how we both need to have Big Macs for dinner.
[00:10:20] Speaker A: It's Mac tonight.
I. I would have a Big Mac for dinner, David, but as you know, I had a Brahms Burger.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: You had a Brahms Burger? Oh, man.
[00:10:30] Speaker A: For lunch. It was good.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Excellent. Did you get a. Did you get some ice cream to go? Did you get some milk? Shit, I haven't.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: I didn't get milk. I should have got milk. I got some orange sherbert.
[00:10:42] Speaker B: Ooh, sherbert is good.
[00:10:43] Speaker A: I like orange sherbert. It's like the orange in this title.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: On the COVID A of Rat City 14.
[00:10:50] Speaker B: Well, Johnny, unfortunately, I do not have that cover, so I do not get the orange sherbet title treatment.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: Well, I do, because it's an orange title.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: All right.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: But it's a normal colored deviant.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:04] Speaker A: This color is by Federico Sabatini with Mefuria.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: It's real good. It's. It's real. It's real. It's like anime.
Yeah. It's like the. The running at your enemy screen from animation.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: Scott Pilgrim or whatever.
[00:11:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
Zooming so they don't have to animate the actual background.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: That's what it looks like.
This could be 10 seconds of an anime. Just a still image.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: Yeah. And he's wearing a mask, so they don't have to even have to bother with his mouth going. Yeah.
[00:11:36] Speaker A: They just move some lights in the background and it would look like he was moving.
[00:11:39] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah.
It's a good cover. Yeah, he's go. He's just flying by.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: He's got his fists at the ready.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Yeah. He's got. He's got one hand outstretched.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: He's ready to go.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: So if you don't have this cover, what cover do you perhaps have, David?
[00:11:54] Speaker B: Johnny, I have the Von Randall cover. Cover B. It's got, like a radioactive green title treatment.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: I like that.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Yeah. It's got a. The white background, which is really nice and striking.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: It's kind of like the Spawn Origins collection.
[00:12:08] Speaker B: Yeah. With a little strip of New York City skyline in the background. Or I guess rat City skyline.
And it's got the deviant standing on, like, a pile of Iron man parts.
Since Spawn often stands on a pile of bones. This is like a pile of robot bones, Johnny.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: They are basically robot bones. Wires are robot veins.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: Oh, boy. That's a.
[00:12:30] Speaker A: Think about it.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: Nice cover, though.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: It is a nice cover.
They're real nice covers, Johnny. Red City always has very solid covers.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: The Stevian. This deviant design is just so cool.
[00:12:44] Speaker A: It's great. Wish I had the figure we have.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: We should have bought it.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: We still can, I'm sure.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: Well, yeah, but before you moved, we could have saved on shipping.
I had that idea and then just didn't do anything with it.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: What a bum. What a bum. I still order it now. We're both just gonna have to order two figures for ourselves now. You have to order two to get it? No, no, it's just one figure doesn't hit the minimum for free shipping.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: Oh, okay, I gotcha.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: And shipping is only like, $5, but a whole nother figure is like, $30. But it's free shipping, Johnny, So it's.
That's how math works.
[00:13:21] Speaker A: That's true.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: Actually, it would probably be cheaper if you bought both of them and then, like, snail mailed it up to me, because then you'd pay less in taxes.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: And I have Amazon prime, so the shipping would be free anyway.
[00:13:32] Speaker B: It would probably only be, like, four bucks.
[00:13:34] Speaker A: I'll just save it for you for the next time you visit Oklahoma.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: It's gonna be. It's gonna be like that. That Mother's Day gift that Clark Griswold finds in the attic.
Vacation.
Just covered in a thick layer of dust.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Yes, but I'll still give it to you one day.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: You'll give it to me, huh, John? John, Gonna give it to you.
Maybe I don't remember how the rest of the song goes, or else I would have kept going.
[00:14:01] Speaker A: This is gonna give it to you. Gonna give it to you.
You pop this cover open. We got the credits.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: Yes, we do.
[00:14:07] Speaker A: For rat City. Number 14 from May 2025.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: Yes, indeed.

Lettering by Erica Schultz. Pulling double duty.
We already covered the covers.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Sure did.
[00:14:24] Speaker A: Creative Director is Tom McFarlane and editor in chief is Thomas Healy.
Previously In Rat City, Dr. Bose is off Peter's trail seemingly forever. But he and Quinlan have yet to discover that the doctor was not the only one looking for them.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: Yeah, we know. We know that. Those.
Those guys that looked like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle villain rejects. We're like, hey, is that Q Ball?
[00:14:49] Speaker A: And the progeny is on the prowl.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. The progeny. These progeny are creepy as hell.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: There's a lot of progeny in this one.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: Yeah, they're prolific progeny. They are progenaceous.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: We start 10 years ago.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: Yes, indeed.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: With Quinlan.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Quinlan talking about being a hell of a sprinter in high school.
[00:15:10] Speaker A: It was the only thing they were good at.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: Except tech.
[00:15:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Look at that. Just. Just sold soldering in your room. Johnny, do you ever solder in your room?
[00:15:20] Speaker A: I've never soldered in my room.
[00:15:21] Speaker B: Oh, it's probably for the best because that is real bad to your lungs.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: Oh, no, maybe it's futuristic soldering technology. It's not as bad.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: You should do it in a well ventilated area.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Absolutely.
And then the. Their parents say, robert, come to dinner. So they're dead.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: Naming him. Yeah. And. And Because. One second. Mom. And it's Quinlan. But Mom. Mom is chill as hell.
Quinlan. Right, sorry. Quinlan, dinner's ready.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: Yeah, very understanding. Good job, Mom.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: Now get your ass in here before I. Before I drag you up by your ears.
[00:15:59] Speaker A: They say explaining that I'm non binary was the whole thing. My mom or my whole family was always supportive.
[00:16:05] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[00:16:05] Speaker A: The reason my life is fucked up is because I fucked it up.
[00:16:10] Speaker B: That's the worst. That's the worst. John, you can't blame no one but yourself.
But I mean, knowing that you can blame no one but yourself is the first step to fixing it, right?
[00:16:21] Speaker A: I think so.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: No buck passing here. And then we flash forward three years to seven years ago in Charlottesville, Virginia. Quinlan's set up real fancy rig at a LAN party. It's nice to know that Land parties exactly exists this far in the future. Johnny, how much Mountain Dew do you think is currently being drunk at this land party?
[00:16:38] Speaker A: I think it's just like an Internet cafe and the guy's being funny.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: But it might also be a LAN party.
[00:16:45] Speaker B: Well, he does just. He does say, out of all the kids at this land party, that's true. I wonder what they're playing. I wonder what futuristic vintage game they're playing.
[00:16:53] Speaker A: They're probably just playing.
[00:16:55] Speaker B: Do you think they're still waiting for GTA 6 Fortnite?
[00:16:57] Speaker A: Yeah, they're waiting for GTA 6 and they're playing Fortnite.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: I can't believe we got deviants before we got GTA 6. Quinlan says, you know, they're. They're. They're young, dumb, and full of wanting to impress people.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: And Tweedledee and Tweedledum here, they're actually Stevo and Jax.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: Yeah, the. They. They challenge Quinlan to a little bit of a hacker challenge, I guess is what you would call it. And Quinlan is just like, hell, yeah, I'll do this.
They did not know that these two, this Bebop and Rocksteady were hiring them to hack into their own personal accounts so they could find their weak spots.
And they're like, well, Quinlan you found these weaknesses. Now you get to fix them. And they basically strap Quinlan to a chair and don't let them leave. It's a whole year before Quinlan gets up the nerve to escape.
One night, they just sneak out in the middle of the night.
They run, they run. They just leave everything behind. And they were. They're too ashamed to go back to their family, so they're like, well, shit, I have to do it alone. And they've left everything except for a small piece of tech that they stole from Steve Owen, Jacks, a little piece of insurance. Quinlan says those files probably don't mean anything to either of these two anymore. But, you know, they keep it as a memento to, you know, dumb happened in your past and you got over it, so you just gotta do it. Quinlan kind of thing. It's like. It's like a worry stone on their forehead, basically. And so. So Quinlan's just waiting in this. This road in the woods, trying to get passing car to pick him up. And the car stops and the driver recognizes Quinlan. And it's like, get your ass in the car right now. Get here.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: We need to talk.
[00:18:43] Speaker B: Yeah. And so Quinlan gets in the. In the car, and we see that they're being watched from the side of the road by a little rat and snake progeny with their glowing eyes.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: And the progeny was introduced in the last issue in the alleyway. Yeah, the little creepy, kind of like, animal hive mind.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Yeah. The little rat progeny is like, they will be with us soon.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: And of course, snake says, yes, yes.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: Hilarious.
And then we do a hard cut, too.
A little kid falls off their scooter.
They bang up their knee, and somebody's running towards them and says, peter, you okay? And we got a little bit. We got a little baby Peter Karen here.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: Little baby Peter Karen.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: So cute. And it's.
The person running towards him is Brian, his older brother, who's, you know, ready with the band aids and making him feel better, you know, taking.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: Broke his scooter and his butt.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
Oh, boy.
I haven't fallen on my butt so hard that I thought I broke it in a very long time. And, Johnny, I'm not interested in getting into any of that anytime soon.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: No, no.
[00:19:53] Speaker B: Sounds like it hurts.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Not at this agent won't be breaking my butt anymore. Thank you.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Nope. No. No.
And then we turn the page and it says the in between.
And we've got a two page spread here with Peter Cairn as the deviant, seeing shattered glass memory, or like memories and shattered pieces. Of mirror that start with little Peter. Little. Little Peter Cairn saying, brian, I'm scared. And Brian just being like, come on, I got you, Peter.
Peter being like, you're the best brother ever.
And then another part of Peter's life where the big brother is played by.
[00:20:36] Speaker A: Reese.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: Reese. Jesus.
Rhys is saying, up and at him, Yankee. And Peter says, thanks, Simri.
And then again, we've got them in the same pose, but it's Peter Cairn as the deviant, and Al Simmons is the big brother saying, come on, Karen, I know you're stronger than that.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: It's Al Simmons.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: It's Al Simmons. That's a nice looking Al Simmons, Johnny.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: That's great.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: He's a thick boy.
Stocking.
And then we turn the page, and Peter Cairn is like, wait, wait, who the hell is this?
[00:21:10] Speaker A: Who's this guy? I don't know who this guy is.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: The progeny are like that Peter Cairn is Al Simmons.
And they say that he would not exist in his current form without Al Simmons's necroplasmic explosion that we saw in issue two.
Three. Two.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: One or two?
This is one, right?
[00:21:32] Speaker B: Was it in one?
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:35] Speaker B: I thought the first one was the fracas. And the caucus takes up most of my memory of the first issue, but I guess you're right because it does catch to him being a.
A working Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: It ends with him like, ah, like freaking out and like the spawn mass appearing on him.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. And he, like, passes out in the pothole he's in.
Yeah, but so.
So Peter can's just like, what is like, who's talking? Show yourself. And then we get just tons and tons of green eyes.
And then there's a, like a spokesperson for the progeny. And it's just this wolf says, do not fox. Actually, it's a fox, Damn it. One of the two. It's a. It's. It's a. A canine type beast.
It's probably actually a coyote, Johnny. You ever think about that? Huh? You ever think about that?
[00:22:29] Speaker A: He calls him a fox.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: Ah, God damn it.
[00:22:35] Speaker A: He says, yeah, you're talking fox.
He says it.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
But anyway, the stalking fox says, we are the progeny. Forgiveness is not why we are here.
We cut from there, too.
What looks like hell, Johnny.
And we got what's his face.
The. The guy who stabbed his eyes out for the Church of the Curse.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: Church of the Curse.
The chairman, Right.
[00:23:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
And he's like, I can see. Praise be the curse. I have been healed.
And it's like, I knew.
I knew you would lead me to heaven.
And a crow represent. Representative of the progeny is like, yeah, you're not in heaven, Victor, but the.
[00:23:32] Speaker A: Progeny will show you the way.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: Yeah. And are we to be led to believe that the crow is showing Victor the same thing at the same time that the fox is showing Peter all of the.
All of the spawns, or.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: No, I don't think so, because their conversation just takes up exactly where it leaves off.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: Okay, well, so the fox. The fox shows Peter Cairn kind of like the legacy that he has.
He has become a part of. And it's.
We got Al Simmons and the deviant himself and Cheesebawn and Medieval and gunslinger Jonathan fighting a whole bunch of demons.
[00:24:14] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:24:15] Speaker B: Just.
Just necroplasmic beams and green viscera everywhere.
Yeah. And Peter asks if the progeny can see the future. And they say that perhaps with others they can, but they have much to discuss. Johnny. And then we cut back to hell, and Victor's like, so this is in heaven. Where AM I? Exactly, Mr. Crow. The Crow's just like, you're with us.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: The progeny says he will care for them.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: And Victor's just freaking out. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is not how it was supposed to be.
Has the curse abandoned me?
[00:24:48] Speaker A: So he runs butt ass naked.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Yeah. Towards a. Towards a cliff.
[00:24:51] Speaker A: And just Dennis. Off the edge.
[00:24:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
All while saying the opening reading.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: I will be reborn.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: And he is. He is crying the whole way.
And then the. The crow just, like, latches on to his shoulder blades and he says, you filthy bird.
The crow's just like, you are wasting time. This will not work, Victor Nikkei. And so he just drops him and he goes screaming and falling down this deep, empty chasm.
[00:25:25] Speaker A: Just like Emperor Palpatine.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
Only with much less force lightning.
[00:25:31] Speaker A: Much less force lightning.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: And then we cut back to Peter talking to the. The fox, and he calls them creepy ass plushies.
Yeah. Yeah. And the fox is like, you know, I. We don't. We don't care if you.
We don't care if you think you're not going to be hanging out with us. You don't have a choice in the matter. And then, like, the fox, like, threatens him with, like, ghostly visages of additional members of the. The progeny.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: There's a rat and a dog and a cat and a snake.
[00:26:03] Speaker B: Yeah. And a pigeon, it looks like, in addition to the crow that looks kind of like a pigeon.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: You can become multiple types of birds.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: And Peter says, what the hell. The fox goes, not hell.
Not yet.
[00:26:18] Speaker A: But your fate is inevitable.
[00:26:20] Speaker B: And then Peter just, like, gets the.
The green glowing eyes of action. It's just like, you know what? Fuck this.
And the fox, like, plushies. Hold them. Hold him down. And so Peter's just fighting these ghostly things. He's, like, wrapped up with the snake. He's like, no matter what I do, they keep coming back.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: Can't beat him.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Can't beat him. And then, like, these black tendrils reach up from the ground and start tying him down.
And while he's just there, you know, bound to the. To the ground, the. The progeny, the. The snakes. Like, this is for your own good, Peter.
[00:26:59] Speaker A: This is.
[00:27:00] Speaker B: And the fox says, in time, you will understand. They say, we will help you. We will show you the way.
This fate, this is your destiny.
[00:27:10] Speaker A: Whoa.
[00:27:10] Speaker B: And then, skull to end the issue.
[00:27:12] Speaker A: Skull to end the issue. This progeny is causing some trouble.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: Yeah, this progeny is making this story move real quick, Johnny. Yeah, man. But, yeah, hell, yeah, progeny are spooky. Are they good? Are they bad?
[00:27:27] Speaker A: I don't know. What are they?
[00:27:30] Speaker B: Creepy. That's what they are.
[00:27:32] Speaker A: Creepy is what they are.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: So then we get the new generation, new stories, new. You add, Johnny.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:27:39] Speaker B: Nice.
With the book we're gonna cover next is right there. Johnny. Sandwich.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: Sandwich. 14.
Absolutely.
[00:27:48] Speaker B: Got that image classics at.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: Oh, look at all those classics.
[00:27:53] Speaker B: Yeah, those are classics.
Look, I like how Spawn is all the way up at the top there. Spawn.
[00:27:58] Speaker A: Hell, yeah.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty good.
[00:28:01] Speaker A: Better be.
[00:28:02] Speaker B: We got a House of the Dragon. The dragon.
Like, not the dragons themselves, but, like, the accessory packs that you can buy to go with the dragons that have, like, busts and scrolls and coins and like, a. A little bitty Targaryen.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: Yeah, they're like House of the Dragon. Like. Yeah, like a bookmark.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: And they also have a dragon.
[00:28:25] Speaker B: Dragon sold separately.
Oh, then, Johnny, the back page. The back cover is the Return of the Pacific Rim. Toy ad bana bum Banana.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: Love Pacific Rim.
[00:28:40] Speaker B: It's very good.
[00:28:41] Speaker A: Gambler. Tourmas. Frankenstein comes out soon.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: What does it. Frankenstein?
[00:28:46] Speaker A: Gamble del Toro, the director of Pacific Rim.
[00:28:48] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, his Frankenstein's coming out soon.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Hell, yeah.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: Do you know when I believe? October 17th in select theaters and then on Netflix, like, November 4th or something.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Oh, dang.
Oh, that's Red City number 14, Johnny. Foreign.
[00:29:17] Speaker A: Next up, we have Sam and Twitch. 14?
[00:29:19] Speaker B: Hell, yeah, we do.
[00:29:21] Speaker A: All the way back in the far off land of May 2000. 2000.
That's 25.
[00:29:27] Speaker B: That's weird. Johnny. Because ImageComics.com says, published June 4, 2025.
[00:29:35] Speaker A: Well, it probably was published in June. These are always. Some of them were delayed a little bit.
[00:29:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
Huh. I don't know.
We can't trust the website. We learned that last time.
[00:29:45] Speaker A: I know, but yeah.
I got the A cover.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: Ooh, nice.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: By Raymond Gay.
[00:29:51] Speaker B: It's one of our favorites.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: It's badass.
Sam is so good in it.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: Twitch. Twitch. Sam and Twitch are an action pose. And Sam's action pose includes lighting a cigarette.
[00:30:05] Speaker A: Right. He's holding his gun out and lighting a cigarette.
[00:30:08] Speaker B: I would.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: Got a toothpick in his mouth. His hair is all slicked back.
[00:30:12] Speaker B: And there's, like, a. There's a cop car with its flashing lights and a police line and a church with a whole bunch of bats flying out of it. It's pretty cool.
[00:30:21] Speaker A: And the blankest place is 1224 80. What do you want to guess? That's Raymond Gay's birthday.
[00:30:26] Speaker B: 12, 24 80.
Maybe. Maybe. I mean, we could see Raymond Gay, artist.
[00:30:32] Speaker A: Oh, my God. You want his birthday?
[00:30:35] Speaker B: I didn't know. I don't know.
The only wiki I can find him on is the TMNTpedia.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: Nice. That's just a guess. I don't know if it's actually his birthday, David.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: Maybe. Maybe he has fond memories of Christmas Eve 1980.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: He might.
[00:30:53] Speaker B: Maybe that's the last time he believed in Santa Claus.
[00:30:56] Speaker A: Oh, could be.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: Could be.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: Yeah, like, we're teaching in, like, fifth grade. Told us that Santa wasn't real.
[00:31:03] Speaker B: Oh, dang.
[00:31:05] Speaker A: I mean, I already kind of figured it out by then, but to get a confirmation from an adult was pretty mind blowing.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: Yeah. His wife's birthday is on his Instagram, but not his.
Not about to shout out his wife's birthday, though. Yeah.
[00:31:18] Speaker A: This is just getting weird at this point.
[00:31:21] Speaker B: I'm. I'm being a creepy boy. Johnny.
[00:31:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:24] Speaker B: But I should probably do something. Talk about something else creepy, which is this cover. Beat this Don Aglio cover, which is same and twisted, A great salmon twist, same twitch. In a graveyard in front of this cool angel headstone.
[00:31:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: They're standing underneath a tree that looks like hands. And this looks oddly like a figure of some kind.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: It's like Spawn's outline.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: Yeah, a little bit.
[00:31:54] Speaker A: With the M on the chest and everything. Yeah, but it's also the outline of a gravestone.
[00:31:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
Spawn is a dead guy.
[00:32:03] Speaker A: You say he is, if you didn't know. Al Simmons is dead.
[00:32:08] Speaker B: Yeah, it. He died real bad. Killed by two different people depending on when you look at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Immortalized in the greatest children's toy ever, Al Simmons's body. Action.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: Alim's course.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: Well, let's press.
[00:32:26] Speaker A: Press the button to reveal Alon's corpse.
[00:32:29] Speaker B: Well, let's. Let's list the lid on this coffin here. I mean. I mean, this cover, and see what we got going on under the hood. Johnny. We got some. We got some credits that need to.
[00:32:38] Speaker A: Be given some credited credits.
[00:32:41] Speaker B: Yeah. We've got plot and script by Jordan Barrel with additional script by Todd McFarlane. We've got art by Thomas Nachlik with special thanks to Magnus Arts, color by FCO Placidcia and Sheila Saldana, who does the color flats, lettering by Tom Wozykowski. Done covered the covers, Johnny.
[00:32:59] Speaker A: We did.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: Todd McFarlane is the creative director, and Thomas Healy is the editor in chief.
Previously in Sam and Twitch.
Sam and Helen are trying to help Twitch salvage his career and save him from falling apart.
Is he starting to crack under the pressure.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: He might be?
[00:33:18] Speaker B: I would say yes.
[00:33:20] Speaker A: I would say yes.
[00:33:21] Speaker B: He's not doing real well, Johnny. Not well at all.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: No, he's not. We open with him in a help group.
[00:33:28] Speaker B: Yeah. In the Police Shooters Anonymous meetings that he's been having to attend.
And the. The sort of meeting leader is like, would you like to share something? And Twitch is like, yeah, actually.
And while he says what he says, we cut to elsewhere, where we've got Helen at a. An interview, discussing a gap in her.
[00:33:51] Speaker A: I thought that was.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: No, you're right.
[00:33:53] Speaker A: It is Helen.
I'm stupid.
Cut that out.
Yes. Helen's explaining gap in her resume.
[00:34:02] Speaker B: And here, Johnny, we got a little bit of a retcon.
Three children.
How many children do you used to have? Seven.
They had like 12.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: Used to have seven.
[00:34:12] Speaker B: Now they only got the three.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: What the hell?
[00:34:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:15] Speaker A: You can't trust anything anymore.
[00:34:16] Speaker B: No comics. How dare they.
And then from that. That.
So I guess that's. So we know that Helen is out looking for jobs again.
[00:34:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I wonder if that'll come back into play.
[00:34:31] Speaker B: Just a one panel thing we cut back to after the. The meeting.
The. The meeting leader is talking to the Twitch, and it's like, that was some good sharing you did today. You realize you don't have to come to these meetings anymore, right? Your mandatory time is over.
Twitch is just like, yeah, yeah, I know, but I feel like I kind of need it.
[00:34:50] Speaker A: And why didn't you just hide behind the blue wall?
[00:34:52] Speaker B: He's like, I just. I just can't.
[00:34:54] Speaker A: He's like, Twitch has guilt. He's just too good of a guy.
[00:34:58] Speaker B: Yeah, he's. He's honest to a fault.
[00:35:00] Speaker A: Johnny could have just lied.
[00:35:02] Speaker B: He could have.
Then it's basically. Basically, I guess she's a therapist and not just a meeting leader, but she's asking how is how his family is taking all this. And he's like, well, you know, not super great, but I am going to dinner with a lot of them, so I'll be able to have a better picture for you next time we talk.
Oh, boy. And then, Johnny, we get one of the least awkward dinners.
[00:35:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Just totally normal dinner.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: Totally normal.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: Helen's brother in law.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Well, no, Helen's brother. It's Twitch's brother in law.
[00:35:38] Speaker A: Oh my God, you're right.
So that would be Twitch's brother who's Helen's brother in law.
[00:35:43] Speaker B: Yeah. So it's Helen's older brother. And they're.
He's. He's there to welcome them with a big smile and a hug at the restaurant.
And while Twitch goes to sit down at the table, Dom's talking to Helen and is like, so, how's it going already?
And Helen's like, oh, boy. Boy howdy, it's rough. Yeah. And then we cut from there too.
Like, everybody's already been drinking.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:36:15] Speaker A: And Twitch just looks dejected.
[00:36:18] Speaker B: Yeah. And then they start with.
They start with the. The cop talk. Like the last dinner we saw Twitch and Helen at in this series.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: I know, everyone's always bringing up cops.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like, geez, let's switch along.
Then Helen's brother Dom is.
Oh boy. This goes on a drunken rant. And they're all. They're all advocating for, why didn't he just. Why didn't he just fucking, you know, why didn't he just blue line it? Why didn't he just, you know, what is this? What is this?
We cut to the drive home.
[00:36:55] Speaker A: The drive home from the awkward family dinner.
[00:36:58] Speaker B: Twitch is just like, so, how was the risotto?
[00:37:03] Speaker A: She's like, don't even start.
[00:37:05] Speaker B: And I was like, don't just say it was an asshole.
They get home and they're relieving the babysitter. And the babysitter's like, yeah, everything was good, except we got this camera just pointed at us sitting on the couch here.
And we learned that the Williams family dog's name is Shadow. Nice. And then Helen is like, what the fuck is wrong with you, Twitch?
She's a minor. Why did you have a camera?
[00:37:30] Speaker A: What does that matter? Because he was filming her.
[00:37:32] Speaker B: Yeah, because. Yeah, because of the camera on her. Oh, yeah. And he was like. But it was a blind spot in her. Security. I'm thinking about security.
You weren't thinking at all.
You weren't thinking. And then he's like, you agree with your brother that I should have lied to stay out of trouble, don't you? And she's like, absolutely.
[00:37:49] Speaker A: I sure do.
[00:37:50] Speaker B: And he's like, but I have to. I have to speak the truth. And he's like. He's like, I'm still thinking about the. The fucking argument we had. And she's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I wasn't here for an argument. I was driving the carpool.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: We did not have an argument that day.
[00:38:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:06] Speaker A: Twitch is just like, what the fuck?
[00:38:07] Speaker B: Yeah. And then. Oh, boy. Awkward. Oh, just a stellar evening, Johnny. That is.
That's one that they make Hallmark movies about.
[00:38:17] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Maybe the first act.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: Jeez.
And then we.
We actually cut to a much more comfortable scene.
Yeah.
[00:38:29] Speaker A: It's Sam and Ally eating a donut with Spawn right behind him.
[00:38:32] Speaker B: Spawn's just, like, perched above him. And I like how Sam just doesn't even bother to look up to talk to him. He's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:38:40] Speaker A: This is our second appearance of Spawn in Sam and Twitch Case Files.
[00:38:43] Speaker B: Yeah. And Sam is just like. You know, normally it gives me the willies when you show up, but actually, I could use your help. So this is pretty. This is fine. And Spawn says he is hunting a particular manufacturing company tied to a set of shadow players. He's like, and I need Twitch to help me.
Sam's like, oh, hold that. Hold on.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: You can come along if you want. He says they need Twitch, but you can come along.
[00:39:09] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like the.
It's like. He's like. It's like carlotta and her doggy. Spawn wants Carlotta and Sam is. Or Spawn wants Twitch, AKA Carlotta. And Sam is just his doggy. It goes with him.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: She comes with him.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: Me and my doggie, we go bye bye.
[00:39:30] Speaker A: Is that from the movie?
[00:39:31] Speaker B: Yeah, it's from the movie.
[00:39:32] Speaker A: Because she doesn't have a dog. Yeah. Okay.
Me and my doggie, we go bye bye.
[00:39:37] Speaker B: Sam is just like, have you. Haven't you heard? They've sidelined Twitch, probably permanently.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: There's this crazy drug that's turned people into zombies and shit.
[00:39:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
And it's like, have you heard anything about this? And Spawn is like, nope, Nope.
But check it out. He's like, I'll look into.
[00:39:54] Speaker A: He's like, I'll look into it, but not for you. I'll do it for Twitch.
[00:39:57] Speaker B: Jesus.
[00:39:58] Speaker A: Jesus spawn. He hates Sam so much.
[00:40:02] Speaker B: Oh, man.
And so though Sam. And Sam is back at his apartment, talking to Nostradamus, trying to figure out all this. He's like, why does. Why did Sam have this? Or why did Twitch have this gun? Doesn't make any sense.
He sees that one of the files he has, one of the individuals was employed by a certain clinical research department of ngri, which also happens to be the employer for. I mean, that lady who helped with Twitch's case.
Who would do anything for Sam Burke.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: I know. She touched his arm.
[00:40:41] Speaker B: And so he's like, well, I guess I'll call this lady.
So. So then it's the next day and he goes to the most futuristic campus in the world. Look at the cheese, Jenna.
[00:40:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Look at this place.
[00:40:56] Speaker B: And he.
He checks in at the front desk. They basically tell him that if he doesn't have his visitor badge and he doesn't stay exactly where everybody tells him to, it's going to be pretty bad for him. Nice little 1984 joke.
[00:41:11] Speaker A: There's an Apple store and a Sephora on this.
[00:41:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:41:14] Speaker A: Company.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: It's interesting. It's like a. It's like. It's the company town. You get paid in company script to shop at the Apple Store, right? And yeah. So Sam gets lost.
He's like, what the fuck is this?
Then like, somebody from the mail room comes up and recognize.
[00:41:36] Speaker A: You were at the Bedford when that guy went crazy with machete.
That was when he was at the clinic place.
[00:41:41] Speaker B: Yeah. And he was like, why were you there?
She said, I had to shift here, but I live near there. I heard about what happened.
She says, scary, isn't it? And she shows him.
She shows him the shaved patch on the side of her head. And Sam, he's like, what? He's like.
And she says, I've got something for you.
She says, keep it secret.
Keep it safe.
[00:42:05] Speaker A: It's a key.
[00:42:07] Speaker B: It's a key.
And then the clerk says, oh, she's coming. I gotta go.
And it is miss. Ms. Beaumont come to see Sam.
And she does a little explaining what they do there anti aging. You know, turning hobbled old men into basically young hunks.
[00:42:30] Speaker A: Yeah, college hunks. Moving junk.
[00:42:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:33] Speaker A: You ever seen signs for that company around Chicago?
[00:42:35] Speaker B: Yeah. It's similar to the two guys in a truck.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's college honks haul and junk.
[00:42:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: You can get some college Hunks. How do you know? Do you have to, like, see their transcript? I'd be like, can I see your transcript, sir?
Just want to make sure they're actually college hunks.
[00:42:54] Speaker B: Are you. Are you. Are you licensed college hunks?
[00:42:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Are you. Are you a licensed hunk?
[00:42:58] Speaker B: Are you gonna. Are you gonna throw out your back? Am I. Do you have the correct insurance for this?
[00:43:02] Speaker A: Have you won a reality show called the Hunk?
[00:43:06] Speaker B: Remember the Swan?
[00:43:08] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:43:09] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. Ugly person, they just give him plastic surgery.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
Speaking of which, she says, we got lotions for scars, burns, and that sort of thing.
And Sam goes, don't think my ugly can be cured.
[00:43:26] Speaker B: Zing.
Sam. Sam's nose. What's up? She says, you're a funny guy, Sam.
Next.
[00:43:32] Speaker A: What do you do here? And she's like, I just, you know, present, analyze data. Boring stuff.
[00:43:37] Speaker B: And then she's like, what does this have to. Does this have anything to do with your shooting? It's referring to Twitch's shooting specifically. Sam's like, no, no, no.
I'm investigating a couple other things.
Something that happened at the Bedford Armory. And it's like, you guys have a. You guys have a contract with that place, right?
[00:43:56] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we use, you know, we treat mental disability, all that kind of stuff.
[00:44:01] Speaker B: She's like, we. We take. We take. Take care of the health issues of all involved. And it's like, you guys. You guys pay for that.
Just like exclusive contract.
She's like, if. If. If anybody is in need and they agree to help us out, we will take care of all of their health. Health stuffs. And Samus. Okay, Sam's looking awfully skeptical.
[00:44:24] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like, we found this chip inside of a guy.
Any idea what it could be?
Oh, yeah. They're one of our neuro chips. It's like an apple. Watch for your head.
[00:44:34] Speaker B: Just. Just. Just calmly. Just.
It's just a thing you put in your brain.
[00:44:39] Speaker A: And it's like, what's on this?
[00:44:42] Speaker B: And so she's taking them to, like, the server room so they could go look at the chip stuff. And Sam's like, people. People volunteer to get this stuff put in their head. She's like, yeah, she's like, we work on a lot of different things and, you know, any. Any sort of help we can get.
This is. This is really poor, very poor clinical practice. Johnny, just in case you were. Yeah, it is.
[00:45:05] Speaker A: I'm imagining it is.
[00:45:06] Speaker B: It's very. It's very, very little consent. I don't. I don't Think there's not an IRB in sight.
[00:45:13] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:45:14] Speaker B: And you know, she basically just says, you know, billionaires could do whatever the fuck they want. And if they just happen to cure Alzheimer's. Fuck yeah.
And they see down in one of the.
The laboratory areas a guy doing some.
[00:45:32] Speaker A: Some like, doing a jig.
[00:45:34] Speaker B: Yeah. He's dancing around, he's high seven. And they said, until 90 days ago, that guy spent most of his life in a wheelchair. And then they finally get to the server room and they. As they enter the server room, Sam clocks what looks like the lock that the key that he was given fits.
[00:45:52] Speaker A: And so I gotta check this shit out.
[00:45:54] Speaker B: And so they. They're gonna start looking, examining the chip. And it's just like a whole bunch of proprietary code. And they're like, oh, yeah, this is all like location based information stuff, you know, let's go. There's this one guy that we can go talk to to see if.
To see if we can get you any information.
So they go to talk to him. His name is Bill. She's like, yo, Bill, I want you to meet this guy. And he's like, you mean this cop?
[00:46:17] Speaker A: He's like, you mean this cop? Yeah, it's a cop.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:20] Speaker A: A burger for a cop.
[00:46:21] Speaker B: She's like, I want you to help. He's like, no, no, you're a cop. No, no. He says, go away.
[00:46:26] Speaker A: Come back with a warrant.
[00:46:27] Speaker B: Come back with a warrant.
[00:46:29] Speaker A: Gotta get a warrant.
[00:46:30] Speaker B: Yep. Get a warrant. We got a warrant. And so like. Yeah. So this guy just like shuffles them out. And Sam's like, well, I guess. I guess I'll go get a warrant. God Damn it.
And Ms. Mo. Ms. Beaumont escorts him outside.
And Sam is just sitting there by himself outside of the building, laughing. And he's like, hey, hey, I got a key card.
And then we cut back to this Bill guy sitting in his office saying, get. Get me the DA on the phone.
[00:47:01] Speaker A: Oh, this goes all the way up to the district attorney.
[00:47:04] Speaker B: And then we cut from there to Sam is back with the therapist talking about the night he just had. It's not very good. Not very good. He's feels like he's falling apart. He doesn't understand why Helen is lying to him and why she's so upset about it.
The therapist is just like, it's a stressful time for everybody. It's going to take some time to get down. It's like, I suppose she recommends that he keeps talking to his family. And, you know, emotions take time to heal. Johnny. Yeah.
[00:47:36] Speaker A: She offhand, is like, oh, next. Next visit, I won't be here, so just ring the doorbell. Or my assistant won't be here, so she won't let. You just got to ring the doorbell.
[00:47:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:47:45] Speaker A: And he's like, doorbell.
[00:47:47] Speaker B: The camera. That's it.
[00:47:48] Speaker A: The ring camera. The doorbell camera.
[00:47:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And so he. He rushes home and he starts checking the footage, and he sees the morning of their argument. He's looking at the. The front door camera.
He sees their car in the driveway.
Then he sees his son walk to the car, and he's like, wait, why is Bobby going to the car? I thought he got picked up.
[00:48:11] Speaker A: There comes Helen. There comes Helen, goes into the car.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: And he's like, what? Helen did drive him that day. This doesn't make. This don't make no sense, Johnny, he says.
And then he just keeps.
And then Helen walks out of the house again.
Again. And turns around and looks at the camera and then disappears from the paused image. Just.
[00:48:35] Speaker A: Bloop.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: Twitch is just like, what the fuck?
What's happening?
[00:48:39] Speaker A: And then there's some Blair wish Project 2 shit.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's always. I love that. I love the. The fucking things so evil that they can't be contained on.
On videotape, and they just, like, move freely within it. It's fun.
[00:48:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:53] Speaker B: It's spooky as hell. And then we get bloody Spawn orb to end the issue.
[00:48:59] Speaker A: Bloody spawn orb?
[00:49:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:01] Speaker A: Pretty cool.
[00:49:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
Then we get an advertisement for that spawn statue.
Get the UFC toy ads again.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: Get the UFC ad. We love the UFC ad.
[00:49:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Again with the new generation, new stories, new uad.
Then Damage Classics has the ad on the back of that.
And that's Sandwich Witch case files number 14, Johnny.
[00:49:25] Speaker A: That's Sandwich Witch 14.
[00:49:27] Speaker B: Yes, indeed.
Well, Johnny, I spotted myself a good boy in this issue of Sam and Twitch.
[00:49:34] Speaker A: There was a dog.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: There was that shadow. I am going to rate Shadow.
Very good Wood pet.
Which means it's time to rate these puppies, Johnny.
[00:49:44] Speaker A: It's time to rate the puppies.
All right, so we have Rat City 14.
[00:49:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:52] Speaker A: A little background on Quinlan. Little psychedelics stuff from the progeny.
We got a lot of plot lines going on here, and it's fun because it feels exciting and fresh and like we're going to the second phase of the story after the first. Like, the first phase that was focused on bts.
[00:50:11] Speaker B: Yes, indeed.
[00:50:12] Speaker A: And now we're kind of going to this new story. I love this proge progeny character. I'm excited to see what they are and See their full form. It's cool to have a new villain because like so many times in Spawn, the villains are just ones from the 90s they bring back.
[00:50:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: Except for Todd McFarlane who creates a new villain every other week in the Gunslinger.
[00:50:31] Speaker B: But Johnny, he writes them so that way in 20 years, they can bring them back and they don't have to think of new villains.
[00:50:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Like Carl.
Carl.
[00:50:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Carl was the best.
[00:50:43] Speaker A: Shotguns right off that motorcycle jerky was.
Yeah. But I thought it balanced the storylines really well. It really kept. It's really exciting stuff. Kept my interest like. And just the art so dynamic.
[00:50:57] Speaker B: Yeah. I like learning about Quinlan's past. That's real. It's real fun.
[00:51:03] Speaker A: I like how they were like a coding mule for them. Yeah, that's up.
[00:51:09] Speaker B: That's real up.
[00:51:10] Speaker A: Kind of like Jesse and Breaking Bad in the later season where he's like a meth mule.
[00:51:15] Speaker B: I like, I like how straddling both sides of the line the progeny are with talking to Peter and talking to Victor.
[00:51:23] Speaker A: They're talking to everybody.
[00:51:24] Speaker B: Yeah. They're just.
They got their own plans they don't care about. Right. About good and bad.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: Nope. Zay Carlos still killing it with the futuristic. Like just the art and the colors from J. David Ramos just pop so much. I really love that two page spread of all the Spawns. It's cool to see that in Zay Carlos's art style.
[00:51:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:45] Speaker A: We can see such a great.
[00:51:46] Speaker B: We've not gotten to see at least three of these characters from Zay Carlos yet. And it's real good.
[00:51:52] Speaker A: At least three. Cause I mean, my favorite Joe Biden quote, someone asked him how to be genders. There were already paused for a really long time and goes at least three.
Oh, Joe Biden and Brand friend of the podcast said, well, they're technically not wrong.
[00:52:13] Speaker B: Very magnanimous of bran.
[00:52:14] Speaker A: Yeah. That's probably the only nice thing Brand's ever said about Joe Biden.
[00:52:21] Speaker B: It's good shit, Johnny. Fucking love Rat City.
[00:52:24] Speaker A: Absolutely. I'm gonna Give this issue 4. Soldering in your room. Getting high off the solder.
[00:52:30] Speaker B: Hell yeah. It's a good one.
I. I agree, Johnny. I agree with everything you've said about this.
And I am also gonna give it four progeny foxes that you think are wolves. Yeah, Avatars. That's what I was gonna say for progeny.
[00:52:48] Speaker A: Four progeny avatars.
[00:52:49] Speaker B: I was like, it's the name of that movie. And it's also a thing that stands in for another thing.
[00:52:53] Speaker A: Abada Abada, Arnold Schwarzenegger You've seen that clip? I have not on the Oscars. Arnold Schwarzenegger is so confusing because he's like, this is my friend Jim Cameron. His movie is Abadar.
He's saying Abadar. It's like, what is he talking about? Oh, Avatar.
[00:53:12] Speaker B: Nice. Excellent. Yeah, it's good.
[00:53:14] Speaker A: Next up, we have Sam and twitch case files 14. And this is a big old stuffed issue.
This is a little choppy to me.
[00:53:22] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. It does jump a little bit. It's got a. It's got a lot that it's trying to do.
[00:53:27] Speaker A: Said a lot. It's bridging a lot. It's doing a lot of the bridging of like kind of going into the reveal of this story.
We've gone over the hump of the story, I feel like. And we're on the downward slope.
[00:53:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:53:39] Speaker A: It's just a lot of work to get there. It's just a little disjointed, but that's okay. We get a lot of good info about getting closer to figuring out this drug conspiracy.
[00:53:50] Speaker B: Less work to get there than the previous case file, at least.
[00:53:53] Speaker A: No, no, definitely Significantly less doing it. It's doling it out in good.
[00:53:57] Speaker B: Yes. It's got to be that Jordan Barrel plot.
[00:54:00] Speaker A: And with the Spawn appearance and with the disappearing doppelganger on the video, we've definitely got some supernatural elements coming in. So that's cool to differentiate from the previous case, which is all pretty much, you know, people realistic, quote unquote.
[00:54:13] Speaker B: The mystery keeps going deeper and deeper, Johnny.
[00:54:17] Speaker A: It does. And the Thomas Nashik art. Always reliable.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Excellent.
[00:54:22] Speaker A: I like seeing his spawn. I like his spawn's mouth. I know. His mouth's always like. Ah, yeah, like open a little bit.
[00:54:27] Speaker B: It's got the. It's like that. That King Spawn mouth.
Yes. It's very, very creepy.
[00:54:34] Speaker A: Kind of started on King Spawn. So.
[00:54:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:54:36] Speaker A: I'm excited to see where this goes next.
[00:54:38] Speaker B: Me too. It's been a. It's been a good one.
[00:54:41] Speaker A: I'm going to rate it. Four anti aging creams.
[00:54:45] Speaker B: Hell yeah.
[00:54:46] Speaker A: Cuz I need it.
[00:54:48] Speaker B: Oh. I mean, apparently there's. You're supposed to start earlier than you think you need to for that, Johnny. So we should. We should hurry up.
[00:54:56] Speaker A: I just started. My girlfriend got me some facial moisturizer, so I'm using it.
[00:54:59] Speaker B: Hell yeah. Face facial moisturizer is great. Make you feel so. So nice.
[00:55:03] Speaker A: I feel nice.
[00:55:04] Speaker B: That's nice. Well, you look nice.
[00:55:07] Speaker A: Thank you. I tried to. I took a shower.
[00:55:09] Speaker B: Oh, nice.
I can. I can Smell it.
[00:55:13] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Can you hear it?
[00:55:17] Speaker B: It's fun. I. I'm liking this. This case file much more than the previous one. It's a lot of. A lot of Sam showing us how good of a detective he is. Because, I mean, we love Sam, but it's long. Just been kind of like, Sam's a bum.
And. And we got him, you know, putting in the. Putting in the late nights, you know, doing. He's doing the work, Doing the work. Doing the work at home in his boxers. But Nostradamus, absolutely. I'm gonna give it four camping lanterns on his coffee table because that's what.
[00:55:52] Speaker A: He uses for a light.
[00:55:53] Speaker B: He's got a. He's got a camping lantern there.
It's like a. It's like a kerosene lantern.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: That's hilarious.
[00:56:02] Speaker B: It's great. It's real good.
I had a good time.
[00:56:06] Speaker A: Yeah. It's fun.
[00:56:07] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:59:50] Speaker B: Yeah, the classic poster is better. I mean, I do like being able to see the whole suit in the alternate. But that classic one suit.
[00:59:58] Speaker A: This is my first time watching the director's cut.
[01:00:00] Speaker B: Nice. We didn't. We didn't watch the director cut when we.
[01:00:03] Speaker A: No, because we figured out like, when we watched it and they were like, oh, shit. Well, I guess we do that next time.
[01:00:10] Speaker B: How much. How many extra minutes are in the director's cut?
[01:00:13] Speaker A: Two.
[01:00:13] Speaker B: Two.
[01:00:14] Speaker A: Oh, there's a lot of alternate takes and stuff that's just completely different, evidently.
[01:00:18] Speaker B: Nice. Maybe that's. Maybe that might be why I feel like I've watched a different movie each time I've watched it because I've accidentally.
[01:00:24] Speaker A: Watched one bouncing between them.
[01:00:27] Speaker B: I just didn't realize it.
[01:00:28] Speaker A: Maybe you literally have been David.
[01:00:30] Speaker B: Maybe you'll have to. You'll have to tell me how crisp Todd the bum is.
[01:00:34] Speaker A: Oh, I'll let you know.
[01:00:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you'll have to take a picture.
[01:00:36] Speaker A: I'll watch it this week. Can't wait.

[01:01:00] Speaker B: There's not a. There's not a. A. Todd's Talky Talk.
[01:01:03] Speaker A: Todd's Talky Talk. It's a talkie movie.
[01:01:05] Speaker B: There we go. We got the alliteration. Johnny.
[01:01:08] Speaker A: Well, while you're going to the Arrow Video website and order your copy of Spawn 1997 on 4K, make sure you check us out on Instagram.
Well, first of all. Well, you can check us out regarding Spun Pod, but while you're on Instagram, you should also check out one of our friends.
[01:01:25] Speaker B: Yeah, you should check out Steve Lakowski. And you will remember from last week's episode that Steve Lakowski's art was featured in the fan art spawning grounds of gunslinger 45.
He did the very awesome black and white gunslinger. That is the main piece of art there. And partially, you know, his. His shit's just really good. So we want to shout him out. But also they have him attributed as something that isn't his Instagram handle. So his Instagram handle is Tevelakowski. That's L A C H O W S K I.
And if you also like X Men, you are in for a treat, let me tell you. Because he has a lot of X Men art. It's real good. I like it.
[01:02:17] Speaker A: Sweet.
[01:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it's good.
Give him a follow.
[01:02:20] Speaker A: Check it out.
[01:02:21] Speaker B: Spread some love.
[01:02:22] Speaker A: Yeah, give him a follow. Yeah, follow us. Email us.
[01:02:25] Speaker B: Email us. Yes, regarding.
[01:02:26] Speaker A: Email us at. Regarding swampod. Gmail.com.
[01:02:29] Speaker B: We almost did that together.
[01:02:31] Speaker A: You beat me.
[01:02:32] Speaker B: I did.
[01:02:32] Speaker A: We almost did it together. We finished each other's sentences.
[01:02:36] Speaker B: I'd rather finish your sandwich, honestly.
[01:02:38] Speaker A: We finished each other's sandwiches.
We finished each other's sandwiches.
[01:02:43] Speaker B: I finished your sandwich.
[01:02:45] Speaker A: No, I want to finish yours.
[01:02:46] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. Because I'm done with my sandwich, which is why I need you.
[01:02:51] Speaker A: I drink your sandwich. I drink it up.
[01:02:53] Speaker B: And besides, we've eaten together enough to know that I'm the one who eats fast enough to finish somebody else's sandwich. That's true. You do eat fast.
[01:02:59] Speaker A: I eat very fast in the army over here.
[01:03:04] Speaker B: I don't know, it's just, it's. It's a task. The task is eat. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna eat.
I just want to get the task done.
[01:03:10] Speaker A: I mean, you're not wrong.
[01:03:11] Speaker B: Get to the next task.
It's why I have a problem with drinking. Because I'm like, the point of drinking is to drink. And so if I don't force myself to have moderation and that, you know, I only have one glass or something, that it's just like, oh, there's more to drink. So I'm gonna drink some more.
[01:03:28] Speaker A: I'm gonna drink some more. Keep drinking.
[01:03:30] Speaker B: It's.
What can I say, Johnny? I am goal oriented.
[01:03:35] Speaker A: Well, my goal is to have you send us emails. And each week I like to ask a question. This week I would ask, are you getting the spawn 4k? What special feature are you most excited about? I'm most excited to read this essay, actually, because I love. I love a nice production hell story.
[01:03:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:03:53] Speaker A: And if you prefer the director or the actual cut, you've seen them both. I think everyone just prefers the director's cut because it's more violent.
[01:03:59] Speaker B: So it's also. Isn't the director's cut R?
[01:04:03] Speaker A: It's R. Okay. Yeah, it seems weird show his body like blowing up whenever he catches on fire. It's just like little things like that. Like everything's just a little more violent.
[01:04:11] Speaker B: It seems ridiculous to have tried to make a PG13 cut. I. I mean, I understand. It's hilarious, the idea behind trying to get more money out of it, but at a certain point, just fucking good. Just go with it.
Yeah, right.
Bye.
[01:04:26] Speaker A: Bye.
Anyway, check it out.
[01:04:29] Speaker B: Check it out.
[01:04:30] Speaker A: Email us about your Spawn DVD experience.
[01:04:34] Speaker B: Do it. I'd be excited to hear about it since I do not have a 4k player.
Tell me, please tell me how beautiful.
[01:04:41] Speaker A: It is that costumes will look beautiful.
[01:04:43] Speaker B: Oh, I bet. I bet that mask is going to be real nice.
[01:04:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:04:47] Speaker B: Unfortunately, it's not the good looking tomorrow.
[01:04:50] Speaker A: Night with my girlfriend for the first time, so.
[01:04:52] Speaker B: Oh yeah.
[01:04:53] Speaker A: She'll be introduced to the world of Spawn.
[01:04:56] Speaker B: You'll have to. You'll have to tell her that's not the good Terry Fitzgerald. That's not.
[01:05:01] Speaker A: She knows.
[01:05:02] Speaker B: She knows that.
[01:05:03] Speaker A: I think she knows that she's listening to us.
[01:05:04] Speaker B: Episodes of this fucking milquetoast. Terry Fitzgerald.
[01:05:08] Speaker A: I know. D.B. sweeney. Come on. Give me a break, man.
[01:05:12] Speaker B: John Leguizamo is going to be disgusting in 4K. Holy.
[01:05:16] Speaker A: It's going to be gross.
[01:05:17] Speaker B: It's going to be real gross.
[01:05:18] Speaker A: And those flame effects at the end are going to be fucking terrible.
[01:05:24] Speaker B: You'll be able to count the pixels. Count the pixels.
Can't wait to see it. Well, after you send us an answer to Johnny's question about the 4K restoration of Spawn, take yourself on over to Lonnie Bones music, wherever you get music, and give him a follow. Listen to some of his other stuff. He does our music, and it's very good.
[01:05:45] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[01:05:46] Speaker B: And after you've listened to some Lonnie Bones music, find some place to rate us. Subscribe to us.
[01:05:54] Speaker A: You know, review us.
[01:05:55] Speaker B: Review us. Give us a review. We love us. Do it.
[01:05:59] Speaker A: Tell us your friends about us.
[01:06:00] Speaker B: Yeah, tell us about your friends, please.
[01:06:03] Speaker A: Tell us about your friends on email.
[01:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah, go ahead. But I like hearing about people's friends. It's fun. Friends is good.
[01:06:09] Speaker A: Friends is good.
[01:06:10] Speaker B: You know what else is good? Johnny?
[01:06:11] Speaker A: Doing Talking. Doing Spawn Talking.
[01:06:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Spawn. Doing talk.
[01:06:15] Speaker A: Doing. Done talking about Spawn.
[01:06:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
More of this. Exactly. What? This.
[01:06:20] Speaker A: More of this.
[01:06:22] Speaker B: Yeah. So why don't we. Why don't we do some more of this and spawn some. Talk a little. Do more. In about a week.
[01:06:29] Speaker A: Okay. Sounds good to me.
[01:06:30] Speaker B: How do you. How do you feel?
[01:06:31] Speaker A: What do you want to read, David?
[01:06:32] Speaker B: Well, why don't we. I mean, we've. We've neglected our main title for a little bit, so why don't we do a little bit of main title? Spawn number 366.
[01:06:40] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:06:41] Speaker B: And just. Just because. Just because we need a little bit more Rory McConville in our lives. Go ahead and hit up that. Medieval Spawn Number Two.
[01:06:49] Speaker A: I love it. I want to be more Medieval Spawn. It's perfect.
[01:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah, that's excellent. So that's spawn 366, main title and medieval spawn number two.
Find them, read them, come back, listen to us, talk about them. Or don't find them or read them and just, you know, come listen to us, see if we make sense.
[01:07:08] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[01:07:09] Speaker B: Some of these things, I'm pretty sure, without the context of having read an issue, it's just like, they're making this shit up, aren't they?
[01:07:16] Speaker A: They're making this up. That man jumped naked into a pit and then a bird grabbed him.
[01:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like the.
The McElroy brothers do this thing every year where they watch Paul blart Mole Cop 2 every year, and they do a podcast about it.
And I haven't watched Paul Mall Cop 2, but it's hard to imagine that that movie is exactly how they say it is because it's banana balls.
You should.
Around Thanksgiving time, you should listen to Till Death Do Us Blight. It's a fun show. They do it every year.
[01:07:51] Speaker A: Okay, that's funny.
[01:07:52] Speaker B: It. It signals Thanksgiving time for me now because they've done it for, like, a decade.
[01:07:57] Speaker A: That's great. Paul Bartoo is a Thanksgiving movie.
[01:08:00] Speaker B: Yeah, well, Johnny, we've talked the talk. We've spawned the spawn.
Pretty soon you will watch the watch.
[01:08:10] Speaker A: I know. I'm gonna pop in some special features.
[01:08:12] Speaker B: Hell, yeah.
And I mean, I think. I think I've exhausted myself.
I think I need to go Betty by Johnny, which means I got another to say.
May the scorch be with you.
[01:08:28] Speaker A: May the scorch be with you, too.
Hell, yeah.
[01:08:32] Speaker B: Hell, yeah.
[01:08:33] Speaker A: Hell, yeah.
[01:08:33] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.
[01:08:38] Speaker A: All right, man. Well, you know what I'm doing.
[01:08:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I know exactly what you do.
The TV is calling your name, and I am now chopped liver. So I know that I could probably just say whatever the hell I want, and you're just too distracted for me to ever make it through the noise.
[01:08:56] Speaker A: I love my arrow video.
[01:09:01] Speaker B: Sam.
[01:09:39] Speaker A: Unhand me, you filthy bird.
Love that, huh?
[01:09:49] Speaker B: It's good.
