TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Welcome to Nelploshes of Fap, and continuing the theme of several months now, Deb is exhausted, and Doug is... Doug. Hello. Yeah.

I'm Doug. You've been Doug. I'm not... I'm not...

I'm not... Well, I know. Well, you've heard of... What is it?

What's the Sancho? Dirty Sanchez? Dirty Sanchez. You've never heard of a dirty neighbor.

I don't think we can talk about that. Doug, that thing's getting very, very awkward. And instead of a poop mustache, you have the Herps on the wall and leave. No, I guess he was never getting laid again.

No. I don't know if Herps. I just have this... You know, you and I've talked about this quite a few times, and I've actually been meaning to do something with it, but since apparently I have absolutely no creative output or any type of taking it creatively, because I'm exhausted all the time, and all I do is work and sleep and take care of my take bag cats.

You and I've been meaning with your project for a very long time, about the difference between being lonely and being alone. I'm a walking... Well, no, it's kind of about the essence of loneliness. I was going to say, and there is a very, very...

You know, we told only all the time, being lonely and being alone. Because I'm not alone, you know, in the romantic sense. No, just do it. Yeah, me else.

Yes, I do. For those of you who are listening, I'm now opening Doug's Red Bull. I turn my claws. Bear claw.

I'm just waiting to drop some change I won't give up a pick up later. But I mean, like I said, I'm not alone in the romantic sense, but I do spend a lot of my time, and I prefer to spend a lot of my time by myself. Basically, mentally. Like I said, I don't have a problem being alone.

I'm very, I'm very insular. Like I do a lot of my computer, I watch a lot of movies. I like to think of it as more, I'm very compartmentalized, where I can part-monolize a lot of parts of my brain and my life. So they don't necessarily...

Okay. I was going to say interact or, you know, have terrible repercussions. That sounds like I'm doing awful things. Anyhow, but yeah, you and I have...

And I've talked about this with a few other people. There is a big difference from being lonely and being alone. But weirdly enough, very thin-lung to top-dancing. Also, it's one of those things where it's like one of those, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, and then one thing happens, or you have one straight thoughts.

And you're like, wow, I just crossed the law. Now I'm in lonely territory. Yeah. I actually talked a lot about that on there.

I'm not, uh... Damn, you're a cute mental neurosis. Yeah, I'm my master-batticle. Is that what you're gonna call it now?

Oh crap, I had something I wanted to show you before. Crap, you had something for that. No, I, I, a friend of mine that I, on that randomly, playing in Gris. I have a judge's.

No judge's. But, um, since he is Czech, he has a second English, just a second language. And he said, like, one of the best sentences I think I've ever read ever. Let me see if I can find it for you.

I'm very sorry I'm having to look this up right now. But it actually is completely fantastic. Oh, he forgot his headphones too. Yes, but I remembered mine.

That's the difference. Hmm. It actually, he was talking about being drunk. It's just awesome.

Hold up. Here is this. Here we go. In downtown, yeah, I guess so.

It only makes me sad that they can drink and I can drink when I go to work. Because he works their shit. So he works midnight to 8 a.m. So we're talking about him trying to go into work on Patty's day and it just being a fucking nightmare.

Right. Silver and Melancholic. That might be the greatest sentence I've ever read. Silver and Melancholic.

I mentioned this to another friend of mine and he says Melancholic. More like Melancholic. I'm like, oh my God, just describe me and 70% of the people I know. Melancholic.

We're all Melancholic. No. I'll give you that. No, you don't do it on purpose.

But for the most part, we spend a lot of time Melancholic. Yeah. We're, yeah, one bad day away from a Morrissey song. Sorry.

It's a lot of laughter in my head right now. Yeah. It's in the Morrissey. Well, I introduced you to a tumbler today called this charming Charlie.

Which is peanuts, cartoons with the lyrics substituted for Smiths and Morrissey lyrics. And I haven't even found the best ones to show you yet. Go ahead. Not a big fan of Morrissey.

You're not a big fan of Morrissey, but still when you read these songs. Like the Smiths, don't like Morrissey. You don't like the sugar cubes. Hate Bjork.

Well, yes. You know why you think like that or the way they are? It's because they have people to ring them in. Absolutely.

Twin Peaks. Really good example in terms of pop-up. Yeah, like I said, you have people to ring them in. Because there are people that are wildly fantastically creative.

But sometimes you need people to kind of shape that. You can check. Exactly. Well, you want to do that for each other.

Yes. Yeah. I was going to say, you kind of need something to ring you in and make you a little bit less, you know. Hey, let's go this way and do this.

Oh, wait. This only makes sense to be because everybody else doesn't have these connections that I get. This constellation doesn't make sense. Hardly because I'll think about when he laughs too hard on the joke, it's too inside his own head and not a good joke for stand-up.

Well, what's the comedian joke? Unless it makes somebody else laugh, it doesn't count. Yeah. Yeah, when you do something unless you make somebody else laugh with it, it doesn't count.

We got here from the loneliness. They make people laugh. Do you think that comics and making people laugh aren't something lonely, so you've never had? Comedians?

Like I said, I mean, they're all... Hardly because, too, they've talked about it a lot, where you're comedian because there's something broken. And Patton talks about that. Is comedy coming from depression?

Yeah. No. I completely and utterly agree. Comics may be worse than Stickers.

But at least they get to keep their clothes on. Thank God. How crazy did you think a Sticker was? There she is.

Hey guys, I'm going to talk about my channel for what I was going to say during the duration of this hour. Oh, yes, speed wagon song. Yeah. Alright, let's move the way forward.

Oh, should we move on? Fine. We'll talk about something that actually don't be touched on last week at all. Shenanigans on Nerd Poker.

Oh, jump right to that. No, I don't want to start with the product reviews. Again. Second inch.

So, I love some Nerd Poker. It's a fantastic podcast. I'm here with a fantastic podcast on Ear Wolf. I was telling you, I believe, off-air last week that most of the characters seemingly died.

Well, can you give us a little backstory on what Nerd Poker actually is? Nerd Poker is a long running, well, it's basically a campaign in D&D, which goes into the next episode of Communities called Advanced Advanced into the Dragons. So, it's basically a D&D game with Branko Sainn, Blaine Depansci, who writes on that at midnight, and from Comedians Comedy. So, it's a long running D&D game.

It's a long running game. I've been listening for, I think, since probably the second or third episode, they're on Episode 60 something. I've been listening for literally over a year. And it's just a D&D game, pretty much recorded.

I've gotten to the point where I'm emotionally connected to most of the characters. Sorry. Oh, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to do that. I was connected to most of the characters. Sorry. Off air we talked about how Windround was the first character and died.

It was named after Amana Martin so it's a Martha Monack who was like a barbarian giant who died a very death-filling. They're on a lot of levels of railings. And he rolled up a Damian Wurmogaric for who we talked about. Yeah.

But Judas, the priests of Judas? Yes. And he gets more metal every show. He addresses like he's in a topic and always rolls his eyes.

Like that's in the characters. characters. I'm not going to talk about this. I love character ex-interest cities.

I believe we talked about this several weeks ago about when I conceptualized the character I wanted to play called Skonno, who was a Jovial de Worf who... There was something else in that though. Where did Skonno get in front of? Skonno came from the Baker at my day job talking about...

Skonno. And I went, oh that sounds like a D&D character. And I immediately drew like a dwarf with like a Celtic cut like battle axe and a flag and a wine skin. I said no you immediately drew up Skonno and I was going to say continue to develop him from there.

Yeah he has the nice eccentricity that he has a lust for life yet at the Fush. I think he liked duality in people. I think that's one of the things you always enjoy with a lot of the characters that you like to follow and like to write is you enjoy the duality. Kind of a terry.

Exactly. So I thought that negative has always... We've talked about the idea double negative before your Batman villain is one of the things that's always kind of intriguing is that the character that doesn't like duality but I mean essentially every superhero at the core is very... And a lot of characters I write are very um dichotomous in terms of they just want to be left alone to do their own thing but they're always kind of drawn back into this world that they are innately always going to be a part of what they want to deny it.

But I mean Doug that's kind of us. We really just want to be left alone to do our own thing but we have to do all these other things to be able to function in the world of you. I don't know how many... I don't know how many times I've talked about the characters I've written in.

It's always three out of five oh my god well it's a matter of one but it's a person of convenience like they just are doing what's convenient they don't want to be bothered they just want to do whatever they're doing and be left alone. Um... Let's go back to... It's a nerd poker.

Oh real quick. We just want to be left alone but then we have to do that thing for money to pay for the things that like... And then we have to go back and we just want to be left literally alone and then there's a tap dancing of alone and loneliness. Sorry, I can't do anything on the way.

So that's his face like half stuffed under the front door trying to smell something. No he's not doing it. No. Um so nerd poker I've listened for over a year I've gotten emotionally busted in these characters.

Recently they were put in a position by the DM that ship was exploding basically. It's about to go down. They literally accidentally get out of an entire pit full of gunpowder effectively. Um and one of the characters went out in a blaze of glory which was great.

Exactly. Yeah. Suicide bombing, man rest. And you don't know like who's gonna be around and you and I talked about this.

Now we're getting into kind of what you don't know. So the next episode it's like what's gonna happen? What now? You know who survives what happens they're trapped in this cave.

What was there? Can anybody left to greet the new characters? Yes all of the pre-established characters. So when a group dies how are we supposed to tie that back into this door?

No you can't. You can't just have them jump back into the campaign. No no no no but you start a new campaign in another part of the whole story. Exactly.

It's one of those. Well all this work I did is the as the jam it's done. I need to go work on something else now. Like I said you need to have one person to draw the storyline on which is well you know you have to end sitcoms or dramas when all of your actors will be on it.

Actually yeah. I'm Brando Sane, Blink of Patch, Sarah and Ken Daly. I've all woken up. Healed?

In quotes. Healed? In kind of a prison cells? They've each been in...

They've been isolated? Yes. They're all in like kind of a jail cell environment. Like a cell block yes.

Yeah. And they start taking mental inventory. Oh do I have my spells memorized? You know that it's so forth and so on.

You're establishing your environment and your delays. And then they take physical... They take physical what did I just say? Inventory.

Thank you. Physical inventory of themselves and written as their in rat bodies. Oh thank God. Not man rat.

Not man rat. Exactly. Actual rats. What are you gonna do with a rat body on a campaign?

Well so far there's been a bit of a defined intervention from their fallen comrade, Usa Richard, who got them out of the cages. Another exploring you know hallways and signs of hangers and these five foot tall man rats were 250 feet to them. So that would be interesting. How are you gonna write yourself out of this corner?

Well I mean tell you what here's the best part of it. I don't care how they become human again. Best. Go to Asian Parks.

I don't care how they become human or human. Or a dwarven dragonborn whatever again. They had to roll... they came across the mass trap.

Was it the beginning of peanut butter? Cheese. And they had to roll saving throws against the biological instinct to just go for the cheese. I like that they bought that through but still.

How are you getting yourself out of this one? You wrote yourself into a corner. I don't think so. As much as there's a guy on Jerry Duggan who writes a correct stat, a pro scene.

He has a habit of always going hi shabby fucking DM as a joke. Sark is an amazing DM. Once again this show is re-nited by love and it's re-nited it a long time ago. Or an arena within a year.

My love of D&D is the point where I am talking to people about doing a game night that will not become a show. But doing a game night and... I'm gonna pass on that. You should not get it on that.

No I was never a big team fan. I think it's clunky and ridiculous. It's different. It depends on what edition you're playing.

They started with four and then re-engineered it or reverse-engineered it back to second edition which fourth edition had easier math. You're rolling over things instead of... Are you really under things instead of over things? I don't know if it might have been here.

How fucking Mindy it is outside. Probably not actually. But it is Mindy. But yeah I'm really upset for it to get like a D&D game night together.

Unfortunately everyone's looking at me to be the DM. I don't want to play. I don't want to play. It's not gonna be the DM effect.

I'm gonna have to. Which is great because I've been playing with a lot of young players who if I pull inspiration from movies and books and such they'll have no idea what the fuck's going on because they've never seen or read them. You know you want your DM to be. You want to talk?

No you want to be all of it. I do want the DM to be all of it. Yeah. I'll get you on tape real quick.

Yes sir. You're talking about one could be on a tabletop game. We are actually on a talk about this on damn. Are you okay?

We have seen movement on the things get dicey front. Yay! I'm very sorry I have not made it over yet. You hear a clicks in a while.

Like I said, Deborah's life has become very narrow as of late. I'm sure there's a portal that was used to this. There actually is. There's totally a portal that was used to this.

One of my friends in the game has been maintaining it for a while. Should you go help me? After one of my rifles. Who's name makes people to punch him in the face?

Knock it out after I had it for quite some time. His player's name is Beartster Donnis. His name alone makes me want to punch him in the face. Is that part of his clean chain?

Nothing I know of. Do you know him? I've not physically met him. He apparently lives right now in the portals that I like to maintain it.

He has seen me, but I did not really feel at the point in time I was very busy and didn't have time to stop and meet him. And also didn't want to because he makes me angry. And he's on the opposite faction. Yes, he's an opposing faction member.

My problem with him is that if you're going to play the game, play it right, and he plays like a dickbag and plays a shit. Should he or without honor? Shit, it's not without honor. It's just shitty.

There's a certain amount of craftsmanship and some of the things you have to do. Yeah, if you're going to do it, it's fine. Okay. Moving on.

I know I've played games where I'm like... No, no, it's not an integrity issue. It's not an integrity issue. Yeah.

Like I said, it's not an integrity issue at all. I mean, I'm playing a game where I've got a lot of PvP stuff and I'm like, I realized I can make more points losing. I'm sorry, I was just thinking about your infection game again. Sorry, go ahead.

Maker has a radical in the world. Oh, actually, I was thinking about face aids. Face aids. What's the name of the free version?

The free version is infection. And the premium version? Plague or plague, Inc. I'm just going to say a friend of mine is playing one called Pandemic and he was developing a pandemic called, quote unquote, face aids and trying to destroy the world.

But he kept getting stopped at Madagascar. Because Madagascar only has one port going in and going out. So if they close their port, you're pretty much done. Yeah, but the thing is, you go, oh, I want to pick like an North American country, but they've got really good scientists and a lot of money to do the cure.

What's Eastern Europe? The place to start? Eastern Europe, India is my big. I'll spoil that right now.

India is a big... It's a good place to turn into infection. Well, it's urban, it's wet. I mean, you've got the bovine thing, the ports, the airports.

I mean, just, I mean, New Delhi is a huge airport. So you have a lot in play around with it in terms of mutating your virus or bacteria depending on the part of your throat. Yeah, we're really apples. I only have one, all right?

What? However. And by the way, Plague is not even the PvP game I was talking about a second ago that I needed to finish off. But I literally figured out I can play Shitty Egg without honor.

Like, I realized that instead of taking out big guys from what points, I can lose on purpose and just pick off little morons. Wow. And it's like, I feel really bad because it's like, I'm a level, whatever, 70 something, and they're like, well, I'm a level 30, I'm like, well, you're fucking dead. And I'll take your fucking points.

And I can... Totally not being able to link it. Totally not being able to link it. No, because my main character is a vampire and they are enemies.

Well, you know the quote, right? Hey, a ram Lincoln of Empires are enemies? Whatever you are, be a good one. But I'm a dick.

Okay then. Where my asshole back to Pride? So the closing time song. Speaking of people that, yeah, Tabletop games.

I don't know if you know this. I didn't. The song closing time by semi-sonic. Which we had to look up by the way.

We had no idea who it was by. What did you say for a fight? I did say for a fight. But yeah, semi-sonic.

The Diet Coke of Blur. Yeah. That song is about the birth of his first child. That's depressing.

No, it's actually really neat. It's like he goes, you know, closing time, you know, time to get out. There'll be no room until your brothers and sisters, you know, there'll be no room for your brothers and sisters until you leave. And I'm like, he's still talking about a womb.

As if it were a bar. Totally changes the meaning of the song. Mind blown. See now I just think it's stupid.

Oh, it's like learning that a Guns N' Roses use to love her is about a dog. That ruins it. That makes me sad actually. What do you think of Rose Dine and the Dog Eats?

That makes me happy. That'd be much better, son. So following up on something I've said previously, I got a new external battery, an agar. Seriously, this might be the happiest a product that's made me in any type of memory.

Like the more that I use it, the better that it is. I have yet to be able to run this battery down to zero, even after four days of use without plugging it in and recharging it. It's a maw-z-ing. In case you're wondering, you didn't listen last week, this is a rechargeable cell phone and tablet.

It's an external battery. I can use it for anything with the USB. Not a dildo. Yeah, anything with the USB.

Is everything you just said five seconds ago? Yeah, it's a match for that. Don't care. Worth it.

But yes, like I said, I can use it on my tablet, I can use it on my cell phone and my iPod. It's fantastic. I can be out for God knows how many hours, you know, playing with my cell phone, having the screen on all the time, listening to music, listening to an audio book, listening to podcasts, and I don't have to worry about my phone dying. Say whatever smart ass thing you're thinking.

That's God knows how to do the dildo. I want to hit you with my whiteboard. Look at my face. You're like average chronic bitches.

Alright, cool. I was enjoying it even on my cell phone and my tablet. Suicide squad. It's my new nickname.

Ah, I hit the floor with it. Sorry, suicide squad. Arrow took a week off. Because?

Actually, I'm not sure on that one. What do you think? I'm on the Olympus or over and it's not competing with anything else I watch. You have one right there.

One of the days. Arrow is the only thing I watch. What else is? Nothing.

When did you get the King of the Nerds Valley? We'll talk about that next week. God, I'm watching the first episode of that. I can't believe you watched the whole series.

The first series or the second? Yeah, it's just like comfortable and annoying. But yeah, oh God, the first episode, the first two episodes of each season are just like, I don't know if I can hang. And then you get like, oh, okay.

When the first couple episodes, when they're all doing like their weird nerdisms, you're like, I'm embarrassed for you. For me. And for everyone. For the country.

Yeah, exactly. Good and hang. For the internet. Like, there's that fucking Wermigot in the second season.

And I know that for sake, it gives me like one of the top like 25 World of Warcraft players. Yeah. He's a fantasy writer. Anyways, Arrow.

Skipped a week. I happen to catch the title for next episode. Or at time of this recording, it'll be, or at time of release, it'll be this week's episode. Suicide Squad.

I don't think they're planning to spin off, but you're gonna have Dead Shot. You're gonna have Shrapnel. I didn't realize. Does that even look like him?

Is Simon Tam from... Sorry. And Firefly. Seriously?

Yeah. Yeah, I was like, wait, why? He was on Arrow. It's been a while since we've seen him, but still.

He's on a lot of Canadian... Sorry, it's stuff. He's on a lot of the Canadian sci-fi shows like Warehouse, 13, and all that kind of crap. And that one that went on.

Um, uh, Sanctuary. No. Sanctuary, right? David?

No, that's... No. Is it called Sanctuary? I think so.

They're all underground and post-apocalyptic. We'll go. Yeah. Um, but yeah, so you've got a Dutch...

I know you like Dead Shot. I do. Uh, Dead Shot, Shrapnel. Um, Amanda Waller, Bronze Tiger.

Um... Does anybody else just imagine a figurine of a Bronze Tiger at any time you say that? No, but that's because there would comics. I know how badass Bronze Tiger is.

Um, bear in mind, I like his Arrow incarnation. Way more than his comic-ing incarnation. Because he dresses like a... fucking knockoff Craven the Hunter.

It's like, I have a Tiger vest. I'm like, well, that's a little on the nose. Um... Get in next week.

You're talking about Craven. I don't care if they're doing racism. Craven. Oh, fuck, that's totally coming on next week!

Next week, um... Spoiler alert. Deborah will be taking some time off to go to a thing, and so we have a filler episode. Mm-hmm.

So there will be a discussion about... Craven, we deconstruct the song Teaser. It's not talking about comic books or I'll kill you. Um, anyway, so Suicide Squad, I'm very excited.

Apparently, Diggle will be a part of it. So I'm very interested to see how that is played off. Remember, they saved us like X was at the next one? Yes.

She kind of like, it's caught up with Waller, and what is the name of the... Um, it's not, um, not Cadness. What is it? Uh, Argus.

Argus is like the weird government agency in Arrow. Okay, yeah. Um, that Waller works for. And, uh, I guess the X-wife gets pulled in, and like, Diggle gets pulled in, so...

It's one of those, like, you've got kind of Deathstroke and Brother Blood on one front with Green Arrow, as I'll call him for right now. And then, like, on this other weird front, you've got, like, Diggle and the Suicide Squad. I'm wondering when the two shall meet, you know, when, like, oof, oof. When a culmination is best.

Well, especially because you know you want to see, it's one of those... When you see, um, Slade Wilson, uh, meet Ollie for the first time. Oh, so... In the present, and it's like...

Yeah! Cringe inducing, you're like... Well, let's put Diggle and Deadshot on the team. Oh, no!

With the X-wife. No. It's the, the sister-in-law that works at the banner. Even still though...

I guess if you remember, the last time they were in a room together was in the Russian prison to save his X-wife. Yes, and that's, I believe Waller finds him after that, and is like... Like, I put it team up. Like, I said, they had the team up.

But it's team up. So they had the team up to, uh, escape the prison and say this is his wife. Is it Light? Is that correct?

Or that's the connection in Argus, I think. That they kind of flirt. And it's like, oh, there was a thing, but it was kind of like, in the heat of battle. So, the Avengers?

The Avengers too? The Assemble. Oh, yes. So...

They like the Assemble. I don't, yeah. Battle lots. Assemble.

Sorry, good. So Marvel released a new animated feature. Avengers Confidential Punisher Black Widow. I was trying really hard to laugh right before I go.

That's all right, if you saw that movie, you would have been vomiting. You mean it? Here's my thing. I talk a little bit about this on Damn, and I make the caveat on Damn, that I'll be talking more about it on this show.

Here's my thing. You know, Deb, as how much I love the DC animated universe. Nice. Shake me out on Mirative Way.

I say you can introduce me to a lot of things that you're very passionate about that I'm enjoying. The joke where you keep seeing the acronym of the T-Zures, the next week, just so you get every episode. I go, that's a really good one. Why do you keep seeing that?

I'm like, because they're all really good ones once you get it unlimited. Like I said, no. I just got an actual digital antenna, and I now get Saturday morning cartoons, I watch Justice League unlimited. And you normally show that my house record right about in those are airing.

Which of course, puts us back half hour. It's not going to turn it off. You know, usually influenced by the DC animated universe. I was very excited when Marvel got into animated features, especially because their first two were based on Mark Miller and brainhitches of the Ultimate's.

Here's the thing. DC is looking to Marvel for a blueprint about how to build their, so DC's looking to Marvel on how to build their cinematic universe. Marvel, you need to take a page of DC's book and look to them on how to build an animated universe. So you're a fan of this?

I have not been a fan of, oh, I cannot think of one Marvel animated that I've been blown away by loved at all. I cannot think of. So no one would have said it under the red hood. I like it under the red hood.

No one would have put it here. No, no, no. I love that. Which one do you like better?

Forehand or backhand? It's just choker beating the shutter out. I fucking love that one. Well, give me your beliefs on the new Avengers.

Yes. I like that Marvel's teamed up with, it's not gonzo. It's Mad House, Animation, which is an anime. Animation, I want to say.

What's it like a look of it? Yes, it's the same animation as I did. I think I want to say it's the same one that did Afro-Semer. It's out of that kind of same very high quality animation.

I love that. And I love this guy. Yes. I mean, if you like that sharp anime look, like you know, facial body like design-wise, if you like that which I do, it's great.

It looks great. On paper, you've got, oh, I'm going to fuck up your name. It's not Julie. What's your name?

Jeez, we married to Dexter. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, God. I want to say Julie Carpenter, but I'm not sure that's right.

I think it's Jennifer. Jennifer Carpenter. Yes, all right. Jennifer Carpenter, Black Widow.

And in that voice acting, here's my beef. Here's my biggest beef is your team up with a great animation house. If you look at DC and you don't want some of the justice, I've kicked you some of the movies and stuff. Mine said more of it in passing.

I think else. But we all know that never gets anything done. But you know how big I freak out when a DC animated hits because you know it's going to be, for the most part, you know it's going to be stellar voice casting, high profile voice casting. Good story, great humor.

Great. And yeah, the animation might be based on a alternative. It might be the Bruce Tim stuff. They change their styles and go to whatever.

Whereas Marvel has that kind of defining anime look. But the voice acting is fucking god awful. Not high profile, not great. So they didn't have the director.

I've never watched an animated movie where I go, wow, the ADR is fucked. The ADR is fucked. At least they didn't have the director. And they had Margaret Lou, who worked on DC animated.

And it was well written. I liked it. It was kind of a globetrotting sci-fi mystery involving the Punisher and Black Widow, like I mentioned. And Nick Fury has some original villains.

The English marks. Yeah, turns out they both have AIDS in one of them wearing a letter in a mailbox or something. Right? That's on Nicholas Sparks.

No. That's mostly Nicholas Sparks. I like that Amazon recommended I read Nicholas Sparks after I repeatedly searched for better prices on Assassin's Creed games. So I just kept googling Assassin over and over and over again.

Nicholas Sparks show up. And it was like, you've been looking for a lot of assassins. Can we recommend Nicholas Sparks? I'm trying to balance you.

They're trying to chill me out. They're trying to fucking Xanax me. I was like, no. Fuck you.

I just want to kill shit and fucking Spain. OK, I think we're going on. Unless you're finishing thoughts about the Avengers that I knew I made it. It's just I'm just floored.

But it's fucking I talk about this very briefly. You're associated with Disney now. You have this studio resources to get the names to get a good voice director. They need to quit fucking around.

Hey, you know what? Your main demographic are two types of people, kids and me. Not me specifically, but people like you. But that 25 year old.

Are you doing a strong door? I think it cannot start to escape onto the crack in the door. Sounds like it. Sounds like an identical.

Cat and crack. OK, we're going to move on. We're going to briefly touch on something. As anyone who listens knows, we are Denver-based.

Shocking, surprising. I do bet I was going to say I discovered the greatest new candy and soda shop ever. So if you were down in 16th Street Mall in Laramor Square, there's a really awesome. It's a really awesome.

It's a really awesome. Yeah. I was going to say the greatest candy and soda shop ever called Rocket This. Yeah.

Like any type of root beer or vintage soda pop or any kind of weird candy like they actually? Candy cigarettes. Old cow tails. They had happy hippos.

They had happy hippos. They had a company that makes Nutella. It's a cold. But they make a little candy called Happy Hippos, which are a little bit harder to find in the US.

They're big over in the UK. But yeah, no. Rocket Vis is a steps club for you. Everyone can rock at these.

I'll tag them in Twitter when we get there. So I think I mentioned before that I actually have a few different network apps on my phone because I like to have something playing in the background when I'm working. And I have the CW app. They recently started airing a new show called Starcrossed.

Which I saw on my internet queue, but I have no idea what it's about. Don't. Starcrossed is a basic plot about an alien culture crash landing on Earth. And CW, could you please put a minor fucking point on this?

It is so obviously a metaphor for race relations and mixed relationships. I just want to tell them to fuck right off. Like the basic premise is about seven of these alien teenagers starting to go to a high school for an integration program with a human. Fucking really CW.

What would you take it easier fucking way out on this? Was it Last Starfighter? Was it the Race Relations sci-fi movie? I don't remember.

Where are they? Wasn't Last Starfighter the one where he was really good at the video game? No, the one where I think about it. I don't know what you're talking about.

I wonder if it's Jeff Bridges about Starman. It's the human and the alien are trapped. They both wreck trying to fight each other. They wreck on this desolate planet and they have to learn how to work together.

Literally, hopefully hundreds of nerds right now are freaking out and I can't think of anything of this movie. I'm sure the internet tells me Ro. But I guess the basic plot points on this is this alien race kind of Rex here. What are they called?

I can't remember. I can't remember. Do they have a race system for him? They do.

The race is stated by them I believe it's Taddies. Yeah. No, but. Well because they have these mere tattoo marks on them.

Which is, yeah, I know exactly. See, you should have seen the eye roll identity. Oh my god. I'm sorry, I didn't pick up the eye roll in the mic when I just did it.
