[00:00:00] Speaker A: Good morrow and welcome to Thanksgiving.
This is regarding Spawn, where each week we bring you two issues from Spawn's universe. Except when we don't.
[00:00:11] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:00:11] Speaker A: And this week we're bringing you zero issues from Spawn's universe. Because it's Thanksgiving. We're taking a break.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:18] Speaker A: But we didn't want to leave you high and dry. We know you're looking for that respawn fix, so we just wanted to come in and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and say what we're thankful for this year.
[00:00:28] Speaker B: Yes, indeed, David. What are you thankful for, Johnny? I am thankful, number one, you know, boring honks, you, friends and family, you know, loved ones, the dogs, etc. Etc. But I'm very, very thankful to Spawn. Spawn community. Todd McFarlane, you. Because this is just. It's one of the best things going in my life, period. And. Yeah, I'm just thankful for that.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Yeah, me too.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: How about you, Johnny?
[00:00:59] Speaker A: Yeah, thankful for my friends. I mean, I've had not to tell much too much my personal life. I've had a pretty tough year in my personal life. So I've been really thankful for friends that have been there for me. I'm thankful for the podcast.
I love meeting up every week and talking this about you, Dave, and getting to share that with others. It's really special and been a really fun part of my life. I'm glad we started this journey. I'm thankful for Spawn, Thomas Healey, all the great guests we've had over the last year. We had Thomas Healey on. This year, we had Mark Spears, Schultz, Mark Spears, our friends. Yeah, like DJ Slider, Bite and Brand and Logan. Just all the great people we've had supporting the show and just really thankful for all that. And thankful for you, the listener. We're thankful that you're here and we really appreciate it.
[00:01:45] Speaker B: Johnny. 2024 Lowkey. One of the worst years in recent memory. So, yeah, you can say that it's. It's been rough all around for everybody. Everybody. I know. I don't know if it's something in the water or what, but that's why we gotta. We gotta point out what we're thankful for, because we can't get out of the Malbolge if we're letting it drag us down. Right, Johnny?
[00:02:11] Speaker A: That's true.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: So I am very thankful that we get to do this little bit of nonsense every week. It makes the world. It collapses the world into something very small that we can just have a good time on. And that's what life is about, is having a Good time, I think.
Yeah.
[00:02:30] Speaker A: Ain't that the truth.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
Also, just in general, very glad for those, whether they're listeners or not, all of those who have decided to remain with us just in the world. I know that the world is very hard on very, very, very many people, and there are a lot of people that wish to escape. Thank you very much for staying. We love you. We love you all. We love everybody. Don't go anywhere. Stay here and give thanks with us.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: Yeah. And come back and be thankful for those. Next week, we're covering two badass issues. We've got Spom. Nope. We've got Salmon Twitch Case File six, and Rat City Number six. Really good episode.
[00:03:14] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. I mean, it's hard to go wrong with the Salmon Twitch in a Rat City, Johnny.
[00:03:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I fall in love with the documentary host. It's great.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: I mean, we've fallen in love with Erica Schultz. So it just goes to show that everything that she puts out is something that we're also going to fall in love. Love would. So that's true. Thankful for Erica Schultz.
[00:03:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, definitely.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: And the Todd father, of course.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Yes. And Johnny, you know, like the Macy's Day Parade that takes place on Thanksgiving Day, it always ends with a Santa Claus. And since it's now kind of officially Christmas season, we get to announce who gets to be a part of our little, little annual Christmas tradition this year.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: Yes. So we'll be. We can announce our second annual covering of spawn number 39, the Christmas issue.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: And we will be covering it with George and Pierce from Spawnography.
[00:04:12] Speaker B: Hell, yeah.
[00:04:13] Speaker A: So that's super exciting.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Nothing. Nothing like a little Spawn Christmas from two pillars of the spawn munity, as George likes to say.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: George and I are kindred spirits trying to shoehorn Spawn portmanteaus in unnecessary places.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: Gotta do it.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: Gotta do it. A Spawn podcast requires two different people, Johnny. One of them has to be us, me. And one of them has to be you. So I guess that means you're the Pierce and I'm the George.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: I kind of feel like that.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: Pierce is the feelings. Like the more. The more, like does. The more the social media stuff and all that. And I kind of take that role.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: On the more responsible one and the more responsible one. And George and I are both a little bit more aloof and free will.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: That's why it works.
[00:05:05] Speaker B: That's why it works. It's great. So, yeah, I mean, if you haven't read Spawn 39 yet, go out and read Spawn 39. It's a great little Christmas tale. And then come listen to us.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: We'll be talking about it.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Yeah. For the second year with. If you want to get. Or if you don't want to. If you can't find a copy of it, just listen to last year's version where we talked with Bran about it, and, you know, then you'll know what differences George and Pierce bring to the experience that Bran didn't.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: Thankful for Bran.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Thankful for Bran. Thankful for Spawn. Thankful for Santa Claus.
[00:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
Thankful for snowballs.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I hope. I hope everybody has a lovely Thanksgiving that you eat so much that your pants no longer fit and that, you know, maybe the golden retriever will win the dog show this year. Johnny. You never know.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: I hope it's.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: I mean, an English bulldog won a couple years ago, and it was great.
[00:06:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:07] Speaker A: I just love bull terriers. They're so cute.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: They're some of the best dogs. Thankful for dogs.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: Thankful for dogs. And again, thankful for you all.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:06:18] Speaker A: Thanks for listening. We'll see you back for a regular episode next week. Thanks for allowing us a little break on this holidays time.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Thankful for sales that are about to start. Right, Johnny?
[00:06:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:33] Speaker B: Yeah, that's good.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: I don't know what I'm gonna get.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: Maybe they'll put some compendiums on sale.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: I do need some compendiums. There's two I'm missing.
[00:06:40] Speaker B: Hmm. Interesting holiday gift ideas.
[00:06:44] Speaker A: I got so close, David. I'm sorry. I'll admit this on Mike. I got so close. I kept seeing this Instagram ad. I was gonna buy you this Godzilla advent calendar. Then I went to the website, and I'm pretty sure it's a scam. Oh, no, it's not officially. Like, the website was really shady, and I was like, I'm not putting my credit card information there.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: It's. It's just every. Every day is one of those little. Those little lizards that you. The little finger puppet that you get from the.
[00:07:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: The machine at the front of the grocery store.
[00:07:11] Speaker A: Yeah. No, they're like little toys. But, like, I was gonna get it for you, but then, like, the website just seems so shady. I was like, I kind of think I should.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no. Never. Never put yourself at risk for. For me. Never. Never put yourself at risk for me.
[00:07:24] Speaker A: Never. So I'll find you something else for Christmas. Don't worry.
[00:07:26] Speaker B: Okay. All right. I've got some ideas percolating for you, too, so. So.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: We'll have to. Ooh. We'll have to do an Instagram post during the exchange.
[00:07:36] Speaker A: I like it.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: I like it. Well, have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everybody. And may the scorch be with you.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: And also with you, David. And also with everybody.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: With everybody. Hell, yeah.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: All right, it's time to go to Logan's.
You got the weed and I got the corn casserole. Let's load up.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. Who's got the ham?
[00:07:57] Speaker A: I think Logan's making a ham.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: Oh, fuck yeah. I love a ham.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: I think it's ham and not turkey, so.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: Oh, ham, not turkey. I mean, that's. Ham is superior to turkey in every way.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I don't agree.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: Cooking a whole turkey just makes all of the bits nowhere near as good as they could be individually.
[00:08:14] Speaker A: That's true. I can see that.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: I mean, if you're gonna have. If you're gonna have white meat, you should just have a rotisserie chicken instead of a turkey.
It's just so much better.
[00:08:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I do like turkey, but you gotta like smothered and gravy and all that other shit.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. Cause it's bad.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: Well, we don't have to worry about that.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Ham.
[00:08:40] Speaker A: Let's go, ham.
