TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Well, if no clause just the clap, I am dead, and the gentleman sitting next to me that made up a new medical condition called Impatient Asshole. Fuck. Impatient Put-hole. Impatient Put-hole.

Who? What exactly is Impatient Put-hole? It's when you're butt-can't we depoop? Like always.

Like always. Okay. We actually- It's like mental constipation. We have a pretty full whiteboard this week, but I actually wanted to start out with something that I randomly sent you late at night that you apparently love.

The whole page of Deadpool gifs. I- now we're gonna argue on how you pronounce that. I'm trying to say it with a hard D. It's Deadpool?

No. It's Deadpool. It's the daypool. No.

Yeah. Poulet. Now yeah. No.

No, no, it's got the little- it's got the accent mark over it. It's never yet! Sorry. Go ahead.

Yeah. The entire page of Deadpool- I have a hard G. So it's gifts. Love it.

I don't turn the camera away. Just the him freaking out over Rogue, and doing the fusion dance with Goku. Yeah. I'd like to think that it's just one guy.

There's a bunch of him having Pokémon Balls thrown on him, which I didn't quite get. It's a very slow run. Like the one where the girl is cosplaying as Sexy Pikachu. Let that's what you do.

Like make sense. I'm like, okay, she's a pew. I just said pizza coo. Oh, you can tell it's very early and I'm very tired.

Or you want pizza. Hope it's a pizza ass. I don't really want pizza. No, you need to say pizza butt as a reference to that MC Chris song.

Pizza butt? Yeah, so give me a second. Is it called Pizza Butt? Yeah.

I've not heard that one. I've got the jam that makes you go to work. What? What?

On that pizza butt? No, I have no idea. Yeah, no, we'll listen to it later. Sorry for the meat.

No, no, no, you're fine. I just, I do say fucking on the Christmas like all the time. She's fucking at my Christmas business. Fuckin at my Christmas business, bitch.

Um, kind of Christmas forever. Uh, the only guy to rap the word SNCC. Um, SNCC. SNCC.

SNCC. Now what he's doing is Wolverine's Berserker Rage. You know, I've actually been talking about Monterey. It's a lot in casual conversation as it lays.

Now I'm trying to think of what I made the Monterey. I was a reference to yesterday. Oh, the customer's always an asshole. Uh, that's...

It's been half-life before you came to do shit. Oh, that's right. In the elevator at the customer's always an asshole. An asshole.

Um, and only enough it's not the customer's for being assholes is that I was totally in the weeds. I got fucking... My shit shoved in at work last night. It was ridiculous.

In a kitchen that can normally one or two, I was running four and it was fucking crazy. You know what's crazy? Hmm. Could I still think he needs to close on time?

What? What? I was like, what? Um, sorry, go ahead.

The only way you could bang regular tricks is with a crypt on a condom. But that would kill him. I also love that when they actually have St. Emily there, he's talking about his weird obsession with superhero jobs.

So, the things... So, the things... The things that... The things that take us a bit of orange rock too?

I'm just fantastic. I know I know we couldn't cover this stuff in the comics. You know what? You and I are actually going to have to have an in-depth conversation at some point about the comic book code.

About, uh, I wrote a, um... Did you just find a piece of cat food on the carpet? Nope, that was a mess you. Was in the grooves in my shoe.

That just happened? Cat-shoot. Yeah, I think we're starting to take a step towards crazy cat lady area. Mm-hmm.

Um, I've been in a conversation about what? Oh, the comic book code. Um, I actually wrote, uh, one of my two senior theses about it. Um...

This is one of those things where it's like... I always find it fascinating when a very small part of a society gets to dictate the entire rules. One, it wasn't small part of society. It was one angry fucker.

Well, I realized that. It was worth it. But it's a general statement. Um...

That's why we can't have vampires in comics. Well, it's funny you say that because you end up having that same character. Uh, when they beat, they beat, they figured out the loophole in the comic code with Morbius because he was a living vampire. His powers mirror vampires.

He was a living vampire. Which is the stuff that I make with guys. Is that really? Mm-hmm.

Um, and then you have, uh, it was funny because you talk about the censorship that he ended up on the 90's Spider-Man cartoon. But he couldn't, uh, bite anyone and he didn't drink blood. So he had like little, like, octopus tentacle suckers. Sorry, is he like the vampires with the vampire diaries where it's just a string alcohol?

No, he drank klezma. It was plasma. Um, which is a scientific word for a part of blood. But, um...

A vital part of blood. Yes, it is. Really the liquid part. So, um, no action for writing a thesis, uh, uh, research paper about it.

And, um, based on Wurtham's book, The Seduction of Innocence, I am writing a paper about comic books now. And I know how Marvel was the first to move away from. The comic book. Um, let me rephrase that.

They were the first ones to drop it because image never adopted it. Um, and image was at that point, at this point, a big three. So, um, but I, uh, cleverly named my paper The Reduction of Innocence. And it was about how comics have now moved away from, um, the comics code.

And, um, you know, this is in the early 2000's. I mean, the, um, ACC, the American Comic Book Code, was, um, in place for 40-50 years. Yeah. Um, no, because they got Batman really early on.

Um, and that was probably, that was the 50's, because you've got like the McCarthy witch hunt, you've got the comics witch hunt. Um, I've got a lot of witch hunts, um, in general, um, without any witches. Much like the real witch hunt, um, from Salem. So, what we're all going insane from this mold that's happening to be growing around us.

Let's burn some witches. She turned me into a Newt. A Newt. I got that.

Oh, you're happy? Um, I just- It's actually really sad if you think about it. Well, you and I could wax about the comic book code for eternity, but I think we can move on. Like I said, I think we should move on.

However, I will stick to the comic books. Uh, Marvel made a new deal with Netflix. Well, now, yes and no. Marvel did not actually make a- Well, Marvel made a deal with Netflix, but Disney's had to deal with Netflix for a dog's age.

Well, it's one of the fact that they kind of nailed down some of the particulars. You've got, uh, what is it? They mentioned Luke Cage, they mentioned, um, is it Jessica- Jones or Jessica Drew? I'm not sure.

Was it- Was it A-Laser Spider-Woman? I don't know. Um, like I said, I kind of read it in passing more than anything else. But that begs the question, is this going to happen in the same universe as the Marvel Sematic Universe?

Um, and you've got the show- shows like Shield. Uh- Shield is not actually doing very well ratings-wise. It's already been picked up for a second season, but it's not doing very well. Is it really- Did it have a big drop off after the first couple?

Like I said, they've already been picked up for a second season, but ratings-wise, it's not doing particularly well. Really? Yeah. And I will admit, I kind of only- I think- Well, I think they're gonna have- They're gonna have a cross over to, which we'll talk about next week.

Um, because we'll have both seen Thor too, hopefully, or all of it, Tina. Um- Well, I've got Friday off, so maybe I can go up early on Friday. Well, and I want to see Thor too, because- because of the Shield crossover, because I don't want to be left wondering what the fuck's going on. I actually had a friend who texted me and said, is it safe to assume that you watched Agents of Shield?

No one- yes, very. And he goes, I'm thinking about getting into it, don't need to watch the Avengers. And I said- Yes, because they make promises to Battle of New York. I said, you could probably figure that out based on the trailer, but I said, eh, depends.

If you want me to ruin a scene, spoil a scene, that's really all you need to know walking into it. I mean, really, the Battle of New York is not that big of a deal. It's a matter of- of Coulson's testing. So, um- You know what the funny thing is?

Every time anybody says Battle of New York, I get a little bit angry, because I think about how they drop the ball on Iron Man having PTSD from that? They kind of got into it, and I think it was supposed to kind of supplement, um- Do you even embody- Yeah, his alcoholism thing in the bottle. Like I said, they didn't resolve either of those. Oh, he's signed on for like another, at least three movies.

I mean- But I'm just saying- You'll always see that coming on the Avengers too. I guarantee you. You know what? I hope it does.

Because like I said, you don't get cured from any kind of shit like that, but hanging out with a kid in the middle of the country. You must have won, because that was four years ago. Um- What's the one that you'd like with you, Jack, win in the big robots? Uh, real steel.

They're not big robots. Well, they're large robots. Big would be like me in a specific room. Um- I hope Pacific Rim.

I love you so much. Anyone else wondering what the porn version of Pacific Rim job would be? I mean, is it just robots going out in each other's buttholes? But the robots have sex with the kind of Jew?

I'd watch that. And now it's creepy. Okay, I guess we're gonna not talk about Netflix and Marvel. Um, so no, so I'm interested in seeing, um- Because they- they- it's my- um- It's my assumption that they've introduced Blue Cage into the universe with, uh, Jay August Richards, character from the, um, Shield Pilot.

So, um- Who was going on, Angel? Who was- Yeah, gone, Angel. That's right, guys. Open the red bull.

Open the candle, life juice. You guys wanna know what it takes to run a podcast? Red Bull, Jameson, Chimp with a- Chimp and a Tuxedo cigarettes. And internet, if you have a name for the Chimp and the Tuxedo, we'd love to hear it.

I don't even know what it means, Kevin. Kevin the Chimp. That's a thing. Um, but not Dave.

Um, so yeah, so I'm interested to see what happens. I mean, I don't think you're gonna see anything out of the Netflix deal until at least next year in 2014. I thought it'd be a few months. That'll be hot on the heels of- What do you got?

Um, Avengers 2? Uh, I got the America 2. Can I be- I started shooting Avengers 2? I believe so.

I was gonna say, because I thought we were gonna get Captain America, Winter Soldier. We're gonna get it before. It's gonna be- The same schedule, um, Phase 1 with Phase 2. My disappointment is I don't think Ant-Man is gonna be until Phase 3, which I'm super psyched for Ant-Man.

Um, just based on the test footage that Edgar Wright showed at that comic con of the- What he called, Size-Fu, which I don't know if you've seen. No, I have not. Um, but it's like two guards in a hallway. I don't know if you've seen it before.

Two guards in a hallway and you see it from Ant-Man's point of view looking up at them. And then all of a sudden he grows, punches, shrinks. You see him run along the gun that the guard has pulled, and then he grows and punches him. And it's just him using his size to almost become invisible.

Um, it's a really- uh, mechanics of the powers that you really haven't seen. It sounds really fascinating, actually. And it's Edgar Wright, and we're gonna watch it regardless. So, um, I mean the guy made the closest thing to a literal comic movie I've ever seen in Winter Soldier's Top Pilgrim.

I mean that's literally the closest I think anyone's ever gonna get to actually doing a literal comic movie. No, since it is. In the spirit, as much as the story was lacking, the visuals were phenomenal. But this spirit was since the city, like, light, it wasn't, you know what I mean?

I wasn't thrilled with the spirit to say the least. Only there was an eye place, still like looking at it. And really that killed Gabriel Mox's career, right? No.

I mean no one else is- Oh, is anyone else wondering? I wasn't somewhere to read this. That Samuel Jackson's been on Capital One, I think, commercials. I don't want to hear you.

Or some credit card commercial, and I'm like, man, the government shut down really affected SHIELD. Nick Fury's doing, you know, credit card commercials. I always just think of Mr. Shellsjose gettin' where he's like, I'm Samuel Jackson, I'm doing everything because I can't stand to be holding my wife.

I've ever heard of thinking of it as not wanting to be a low-end with your thoughts, all across Hardwick. So, hmm. Well, to keep on the Cross-Hardwick Trail, you and I have been both obsessed with watching Ad Midnight. And because of Ad Midnight, you finally listened to a comedy album I've been pestering you to listen to for like a year now?

Low-Hanging Fruit by James Adomian, which, much like your worms, like I have been like, people need to listen to at least two tracks. The Barnes & Noble and the Gay Supervillains, which you've referenced that I think almost in the beginning of the podcast. Like I said, I've been wanting you to listen to Gay Villains for forever, just because it's the funniest fucking track. I'm a robot in disguise.

I'm a robot in disguise. The Grand Dom Megatron. So he goes into so many different facets of the gay villain though, because then he talks about Car from the Jungle Book. Mmm, Delicious Man.

And I was going to say Vincent Price. Which is my favorite line of the entire album is, right? We'll bring me some big ring slippers. Oh, a relationship need not be specified.

Need not be specified. My curious man friend, Raoul. And I mean, he goes into the sheriff of Nottingham. And his evil blowjobs.

Wow. Wow. Which really, for a gay guy, kind of...no pun intended. Sloppy blowjobs sounds.

I mean... But he also talks about Ursula from The Little Mermaid, which has also been one of my favorites, because he does the same thing that I think he says that. Every time I've met a woman like that, she's been fucking awesome. Rachel.

I hate to put her out that way, but... But yeah, I'm a big fan of that. Everyone loses their voice when they party with Ursula. I got eight tentacles coming out of this pussy.

I mean, take the attack. You know, boys, the boss close. But lock the door. This round's on me.

No, I love that album. That album. That album. It has great.

I was going to say the Game of Tones track. The Whispering British people trend. Like I said, trying to watch Game of Thrones, but they're British and they're whispering, so I have to turn it out. But the music's still at full volumes with like...

Boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm a big fan of the...what's the track? The Gary Ducey acronyms. I'm here for...I'm not going to remember the acronym, but it was like...

Raper's territory action again. It's really Tory enemies. That was that I think. I'm here about rape.

What the fuck? Gary Ducey. He's saying websites, yeah. Yeah, and it's like, you know, if you go to that, it's a porn site.

It's so type. It's very gucey.backslash, bucey, backslash, conspiracy, backslash. ducgenn.hml. Which is not a real web address.

I know that from the HTML code. But still, maybe. You get a 404 on that one. The whole album though, his voice work is just fucking insane.

The man can do so many different voices. It's just crazy. It's just, and I know him from his work on Comedy Bang Bangs. I know NDLM because I think he's done at least Jesse Ventura on DLM.

Yeah. There's not other people on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. But I've never heard his stand up. And like I said, I don't want to be, I know you've got me to him.

I'm not necessarily alone. But it's like one of those where I have co-workers. I'm talking like, I don't, like this needs to be shared. I don't want to be alone in doing this.

Oh, yeah. Well, I ran across him because I was listening to my Pat and Oswald station on Pandora. You were saying that, yeah. And like I said, they played the gay villain joke on that.

And I ended up liking it so much. I made him his own station on Pandora. And it cracks me the fuck up. Did you have a hidden track in your copy of Lowhand Rivers?

Yeah. When he talks about opening up for Chone Rivers. Yes. The whole, the worst crowd.

Oh, he's a fag. And you're like, oh my God. Yeah, when he talks about, you know, the oldest crowd you've ever fucking seen. There's some respirators.

The walkers everywhere. Yeah. The old tough guy's heckling him in a way that he's never heard before. He's all washed up.

He's a gentleman with a loose handshake. He's a gentleman with a long handshake. He's a bachelor. A convert.

A bachelor. Oh, he's a dandy. He's a noontime boy. Even I don't want about this forever.

So I'll just move on. Oh, bad Milo. I watched, bad Milo. I actually watched it a couple of weeks ago.

We just didn't get to it last week, I think. I think it's probably the height of, but demon movies. Which I think it's the only one. The premise is, and I think I've talked about it before, Ken Marino from the state.

And from Veronica Mars. He's watching you. Goddamn it now. It's looking like that.

It does. It does. It does. It does.

It starts having like, you know, what he feels like an intense stomach cramping ulcer type pains. And, oh, his doctor is totally played by the guy that makes all the voices in down periscope. Like I said, if I had intense stomach pain ulcer shit like that, it would just assume like drinking got out of hand. Well, no, he's pretty milk toast in this.

He's very Walter Mitty. His wife is played by Gillian Jacobs. Hold on a second. Okay.

I know what that was supposed to do, but I don't think it worked. I think you're wondering what's the case. I gotta go get a spray though. She shook a closed button.

Oh, no, just run away. Let me get it anywhere. Okay. I'll just keep talking about that Milo.

So he goes into doctors for like ulcer pain. And it turns out that his colon has a demon that painfully erupts out of his butt to kill the people that stress him out and cause this stress pain. So every time that he's stressed, something even more horrific happens to him? To other people.

Are you trying to tell me the butt demon exploding out of his butt isn't painful? They actually have a part where, and you'd love the shaman therapist. I'm lowered. Played by Peter Stormayer.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes. It was the only redeeming factor of Constantine. He was really good in Constantine.

And he is creepy as fucking prison break. I haven't seen prison break. Watch the first season. And then stop.

That's what I've heard. It's talking to me. He's like, oh, you must like bomb the demon. And you have to like, it's part of you.

And they're like, he's like, call him home. And he's climbing up. The demon is climbing up. Camarina's leg to go home.

And it's just Camarina. Tenseing up going nails, nails, nails. Like guys, he's crawling up his leg. And it's done with practical effects.

And it looks like the alien from back in me. And that's really what I thought of. It's really cute until it gets angry. It actually looks like those killer mushroom creatures from mom and dad save the world.

For all five of us, I remember that one. I just love it. John Lovitz is an alien dictator called Todd. But all hail Todd.

Really funny. One thing I think it was a callback to kind of the old campy horror stuff. And I liked it. I do think it was a little, I wouldn't say pedestrian, what would I call that?

Not childish, immature. But I mean, it's a lot of, it's a lot of dick and forch type of, you know, which I. Lowbrow? Yeah, but I just, I didn't, I thought it'd be a little smarter.

And while good, like I said, I just thought it'd be a bit more intellectual. Once again, bridging that gap between the hyper-amelover that we've talked about. So, but it was fun. It was funny.

Camille Nongionny is in it. As Ken burrino's stepdad, yell at that one, Sinkin. Well, it's funny though. He said that he was married.

And then he, at one point runs a foul. His mom's sex swing. Like I said, it's funny because you said that a hell baby was better. And that also has a big part for Camille in it.

Yes. And we're like, I mean, Tom Lennon and, um, there's someone else from the Stigndit as well, isn't there? Eh. Um, not Mike Lee, I'm not show-welter.

I'm going for a guy. Is, uh, what's her name in it? Um, Kenny? I like that.

The chick from, um, the one girl from the state and, um, Reno 911. I have no one? Uh, not the one on, the only one on, the only one on me. You know, Tom Lennon's married to the blonde from Reno 911?

That doesn't surprise me. It did me. And did you know that Clerk Greg is married to Jennifer Greg? I did not know that.

Yeah, they have a 12 year old kid. I've been married for that long, damn. Um, yeah. He's, and he makes a joke on the news podcast where he's, he talked about quitting acting because he was making a good living doing screenplays.

By the way, did not know he wrote what lies beneath. That's actually really impressive. Um, and, uh, he talks about it, he goes, yeah, someone's the wife gives me shit about like that I wasn't acting. He's like, well, you know, we all can have been embarrassed people.

Oh. Which she is completely unrecognizable now, but, uh, that's based- Yeah, because you know why he was, he saw her in the sturter acting or anything? Who was she in sturter acting? God, which movie was it where she was like one of the queen of the board?

Damn it. Uh, not resurrection. Um, insurrection. No.

Uh, is it the more like the data gets to the skin graft? It's very long time. I'm not a third percent sure. Cause he's like, oh, I can feel you touching me.

And I'm like, well, this is fucking creepy. No, no, I'm taking the other girl on Ferris Bueller's Day off. The one who played his girl. Uh, me and Sarah.

There we go. Okay. You know, now you don't have to do it wrong. I fixed it myself.

You know, from legend. Um, she was a legend. Alright, so you have been watching Creme Season 3. Am I watching?

I mean, I've seen the first episode and I think the second one is setting up my computer. I'm going to be watching. Um, great. Thanks for watching.

I watched the first few episodes of Creme and I told you my impression a while ago. It's like Buffy, but without some of the humor. So I'm like, eh, done. It's a little dry.

Um, it was one of those I saw pop up on my cue and I went, oh yeah, I forgot I watched Grim. Um, it had kind of folded into back my memory and, uh, it took me a couple days to get to the first episode, which opens with, um, the Grim he's been, um, spit at by a, um, voodoo, blowfish creature. Yeah. Like, yeah.

You know, when is days. Um, am I ability to make anything so stupid? Even if I like it. Um, and he is whisked away to Europe, um, to be used in the machinations of this like, evil royal family of, of, um.

The Borges? I was going to go chest from the Cape, but yes. Um, anyone, anyone, the Cape? No, just me?

Got it. Um, took a minute, jokes about the Cape on community? Yep. Six seasons of the movie.

Oh. Now we're set for community, which is coming back in January, so I'm sorry. And I, uh, uh, uh, I'm saying let it slip the Hill Beyond episode, so I'm sorry. I, just, you know, it's just, you know, we're going to love her so many.

I'm just gonna go on and play, um, uh, or something. But it's just, you know, that, I don't want to go on and play. Um, so many, that Neil joined the main cast. I'm sorry.

I still have Danny Coolity and, uh, Joel May beat , but still. Well, and, uh, Allison Bree, and, uh, you know, Gillian Jacobson. Oh, I was thinking male characters but yeah, a lot of that Neil became a regular guy would love for a fan who would become a character pop pop pop pop. That's a, uh, uh, magnitude.

The magnitude. Yeah. Pop pop. Pop pop.

Yeah. Fo pam pop. Pop pop pop. I got a winner in the hipsters.

I love that episode. The Chevy Chase starts hanging out with them. They got the hipsters, because they've all had hip replacements. It's always good to keep it in your brothers.

It's always better to community in the venture brothers. Absolutely. So yeah, Grim, it's one of those. I want you when I get to it.

It's not a pretty passive way. Yeah. It's not as a high priority as. Arrow.

Arrow? Are we doing correct with that? Well, you want to just high five. But we can talk about Arrow when you finish your thoughts.

I don't think I'm grim. Oh, no, I was just not. It's just not I've already. It's a good story.

I'm just going to see what's happening. The first episode started and ended with a bang where you've got Nick in the coffin going to Europe. And then, of course, they don't know how a Grim's body would react to this toxin. And of course, he wakes up in a mock zombie state and beats up an entire bar of rednecks, which was actually a really fun scene.

But now he's like wandering Oregon, the Oregon countryside. Is he wandering the Oregon Trail? Does he get to go hunting? Will he die of syphilis?

No, dysentery, dysentery. Oh, so I said syphilis, dysentery. You've died of dysentery. That's part of the app I never designed, which was like the Oregon Trail that was with genitals, where you have to take care of your genitals and you can get us kids.

We're going to talk with us again. Again. It's a great idea. No, it's not.

Wouldn't get past iTunes, but eventually. Excuse me. I need to get this into the play store. Yeah, I'll let you enjoy it.

We'll take it. Oh, ha, ha, ha. What do you want to do next? We're going to go to Arrow.

Are we going to go to Arrow? I've got notes. I'm going to say the first thing I'd like to say is that since I have an Android phone, I found that the CW actually has a pretty decent app, so that's the way that I'm watching my arrow now. I'm watching it on my queue, which is all I'm going to say legally.

There are a few things. I think last episode, there was something I noticed. One thing that was a little Easter eggs, but I want to see if you caught it, because they kind of blew the lid off of it on this last episode. So two episodes ago, the boat that you find out has Sarah and Ollie on it.

It's called the Amazo. I'm not. Sorry, go ahead. It's called Amazo.

And if you follow the comics, that is a character who amazos a robot that can empathically absorb the superpowers of any hero around him. Wasn't that in Young Justice? Yes. Yeah, I believe Peter Nichols voiced Professor Ivo.

Who? Now talking about episode five, Ivo has popped up and said, we're going to save humanity. And I'm going, OK, do you see the words? It's kind of Sarah's Savior, but in a really weird way.

Oh, God, that scene where he like walks the door and she's like, what? The door and I'm going, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. You know what I mean? Because she seems to have this thing about beating up rapist if you've noticed that it's.

Well, yeah, no, she she talks about no women should suffer under a man. And you're like, what the fuck happened? She's a director of women. We don't know 100% why that is yet.

Ivo initially pulled her out from what we believe to be getting raped by the sailors. It's heavily implied. If you struggle, it'll just hurt more. Yeah.

Well, they have needs to. I love your cat popped up right when I said that. I was going to say, Doug, you can tell that we've been doing the podcast for a while now because the cats used to you and you hate it. I was going to say, can you post your joke?

But OK. Fuck off, beast. She's a little and very nice. Doesn't make me less allergic.

So you've got, yeah, I literally have my first note. Ivo and amaze, Ivo, where you're like, any talk about saving humanity, I'm going, oh, there's, once again, you've got the don't trust a man, you know, name blood is key guy on Ivo because you don't see that combination of names and know anything's good, or anything good is coming. I'm going to ask you a question though. In Young Justice, what did the acronym for monkeys stand for?

Mechanized. Remember? Because they make a joke about that. How he like smashing them all.

Like I said, he's like, I've never met so long coming up with the acronym for monkeys. But it wasn't M. It wasn't spelled monkeys. It was like, M-U-N-K-I-E-S.

It was something like that. Yeah, it wasn't spelled right. So it was like, mechanical, utilitarian, infiltration, whatever, whatever. It was something that I don't even watch at Young Justice in a while.

I like to go back. You might have been watching that together so I could point out all the Easter eggs. But yeah, so you've seen Ivo and amaze all pop up. So you know, like, well, he's a super cool.

I mean, it's like seeing blood pop up. And you're like, if you read the comics, you kind of know, don't trust him. And you have a feeling of where it's going to go. He's effectively a mad scientist.

You see him on par in the Justice League, the Grant Morrison written stuff. He's on par with Thomas Oskar Morrow, T-O Morrow, or Tom Oro. Yeah, thank you, Grant Morrison. Some days he's not as clever as he liked it.

I think it was a little very delete on that one. So yeah, so you've seen Ivo, the ship's called Amazeo. Something's going to go down. It's about to go down.

It's about to go down. Speaking of Sarah and you've got the, like, a assassin's coming back. Yeah. You've got, and I liked the nod to that.

Her headquarters is, I'd bring this up a couple weeks ago, that her headquarters is a clock tower, which is a reference to her being a member of the Birds of Prey in the comics, and that their headquarters is a clock tower in Gotham, the living space of Oracle. And I think that the dad had said something about birds, and I almost expected her to say something about birds of Prey, or being part of a flock. And I was like, oh, this is setting up, you know, there may be, like, an underground anti-sassin, anti-leaving of assassin movement, which will become the Birds of Prey, or become, like, a team. Well, at the end of this episode, though, Sarah leaves.

I'm not... I'm sure you were happy with. They didn't even try. She just kind of fucked off.

Like, didn't you kind of get the sense of that, where it's just like, oh, she fucked off. Well, it's one of those things she fucked off. I'm waiting for her to come back. Yeah, she'll come back.

But like I said, I had to, I agree with a girlfriend of mine. When I'd say, Laurel is just pissing me, right? That fuck off, it's easy. She's still on the hills.

Will you just get it over and done with... What do you mean, killer or...? Or make her character? She's just everything she's done this is over the season.

It's been so fucking years. Yeah, but you're only what? Like, maybe less than halfway through the season? I mean...

Not even halfway yet. Well, they don't get the full 26, because they're hour long, so what do you think? Like, maybe between 12 to 16 episodes. Do you know what the first season was?

No, I don't. I was talking to my head. Probably sitting around 13, 14, maybe. So...

But yeah, it's just one of those things where I'm just like, coming up and getting to the point of all day, because at this point, she's just annoying, and they've got their second season, and their second season is really annoying. Yeah, absolutely. Plus, you've now... They haven't done anything with Roy or Thea really yet.

I mean, they've kept him involved, but they haven't really started. He's become all these men on the street, and his little call sign is like Red Arrow, which is the name that Roy takes when he joins the Justice League, because he becomes Red Arrow. Well, he's speeding before that, wasn't he? Yeah, but they've talked about how the Aznig name is speeding.

So, are they going to do where Roy becomes the character like the... I don't know, hopefully you've done the Justice, where you see the character Arsenal, which, after he became speedy, he came to the heroin addiction addiction, had grown out of speedy, didn't want to become Red Arrow, was like, fuck, am I old man? You see that with Dick Raising the Nightwing, and became a character called Arsenal, because he was very much like the Hawkeye I've talked about from the Ultimate comics, where anything's a weapon in his hands. So, he joined a thing as a spy group, I think it was Czech made or not, but yeah, the cross chest, the gun holster, knives, and guns, I mean, he was a walking armory, so...

Pins the name, Arsenal. Which they do tweak in the young Justice, but anyway. So, I'm wondering, yeah, you haven't seen a lot of Roy grow other than he's not beating people up, and thea thinks everything's fine, while that's going to come to a crashing, a crashing halt eventually. By the way, I love the fact that Oliver is not addressed in the slightest effect that his 18-year-old sister is basically who gave it a boyfriend.

Well... So, we're not going to talk about this at all, Oliver. Nope, just going to let that one go. We'll let it run a club and live with a boyfriend.

Well, you know what, but I think based on how he grew up, it's like he's... that doesn't seem weird, I'm sure he spent a lot of nights away from home. And he just goes, oh yeah, like that's... she's got a boyfriend, she's going to be there.

Now, my thing is that she spends a lot of time with her boyfriends, right? Doesn't he live in like... he lives in like the bombed-out part of the glades, like, why would she stay there as opposed to him staying with her, like, you know what I mean? Well, you've noticed that they...

I don't think they live in Queen Manchin anymore. I think he's rented someplace other than that. Who, who they? Oliver.

Oh, he lives with Queen Manchin? That's me? Yeah. He's basically the only there at this point, is the Hispanic all the time with Roy.

The Mon's in jail and step that fucked up. You know, you're right, just remember they had Sarah and they were like, oh, you have a picture of a boat. Thank you. I saw that, I'm like, that's fucking weird, right?

You're totally weird. You get rid of that, like, within a week, because you didn't go, I can't fucking look at this. That boat took, my husband took my son. And the son was, was, was, was, collateral damage.

I mean, she was trying to kill, or whoever. She and Verdall were trying to kill Robert. Queen, not Ollie. So...

Why would you have a picture of the boat? I know, I know, I know. Do you have any more notes on your? Yeah, I do.

Finally, they made a veiled reference. And this is when I started thinking they're building things up with the way Marvel did. Did you catch? Who sent the assassins?

Not Rachelle Goul, the child of Rachelle Goul. They say that I actually owned it. And we watch, they say the child of Al Ghoul is like, you know, wants you back. And I'm wondering, is it, well, is it Talia?

It might be. Is it going to be Marion Catard? Is she going to suddenly pop up? Not maybe suddenly, but I also know via the comics that Rachelle Goul has a second younger sister, a younger sister.

A younger daughter, Nisa Al Ghoul, who eventually takes over the league as well. So are they going to kind of combine the cinematic and comp, a continuity go? Yeah, there's a child, there's another child of Al Ghoul. Let's deal with Nisa because you haven't seen her, you know, you haven't seen her and let's pull her in.

She's not established yet. Exactly. And it really, they've pretty much said that no one's Batman's going to walk in its own continuity. Because that's not the Batman you're going to see in Superman Batman.

You kidding? Ben Affleck could pull off Christian Beel Batman. No, I kind of want to hear Ben Affleck turn to Batman voice. Once again, I'm the moderate voice on this one.

I really do think he'll do an alright job. So admittedly, you don't know, you may not know the name off top of your head, but I've got to have this get made. They watch Daredevil with Daredevil writer and Brubaker. Oh, God, I cannot wait to get to it.

That sounds fantastic. I've got to get through Marvel week with the Nerdist, but just think Daredevil. I was like, I'm going to have on Daredevil. Brubaker?

Oh, fuck, I'm in. Who sees a phenomenal comic writer and a phenomenal novelist as well. No, I'm thinking Greg Rock, never mind. But Brubaker's fucking great.
