Hello everybody welcome again to a post-drake era villains episode. I'm your game mistake Alex Crinker Carker with us today We have Phil I had two months to think of an intro joke and this is all I came up with will guys I had some microwave chicken vindaloo before I started this so surely that was a fantastic idea It's an extra spicy on the box Hot ass Tom town Cody I finally officially killed bill. He shall no longer be returning that man is buried six feet under Good bye bill should you use what what kind of punch? Oh one punch?

It wasn't that like the five finger palm striker some shit that she used she did. I'm not that impressive Okay, and we have a new member. So let us all welcome a brand new member Hey, hey if you need help hiding a body Cody, I know where to do it and how to do it and when to do it Well, I got a body taken care of it's the crime scene. I need assistance with cuz there's blood everywhere.

Oh, I got you Tell me there's a new person coming on this show I like to rise it's shit Because you know what Phil you don't know everything This is for revenge for us trying to kill off some of the hero characters Legitimately try to murder my wife so That was the game Yeah, you know what though. I'm gonna say I'm biased towards some characters I think I think I have the right to be in its golden era, right? Golden ears in the top three, but I think you know my wife is further up maybe So yeah, there we go. So we have we have a full roster for I like that.

That's a good number Does anybody want to try to explain what happened on the last couple episodes? Okay, I say something real quick first. Oh fuck yeah sure go ahead. Oh Cody walking away the person I need to say in fact I know this is it.

I know this is an audio form of a podcast But guess what we're doing these live on the internet You can watch this be fucking goofballs in real time not just like three weeks later You can watch it now and you can also see the sweet ass shirt that Cody is wearing stand up for the camera Cody like that. It's a knock symbol. Yeah, and you can purchase those over at T public We have our own store or s how studio has its own store and you can get that shirt or you can get a shirt That says hot crack it on it with a picture of a sexy SUV crack it It is amazing There's a couple other weirdo shirts on there that I kind of just fucked around with but I'll probably take this down if you Were actually going to it It wasn't like earlier. He's going full corporate.

He's feeling for us. Good. Let's do it. Let's get it.

Let's get it on But the T public helps support the show in its own little way and you actually get goods for it So I think that's a lot better than say a patreon or something like that not really that out I'm just saying I like actually receiving material goods for paying and supporting things So that's personal preference. We get on to the goops now. Let's get on to the goops Okay, so which one of you is going to volunteer to tell us about what happened in the last episodes? I think I should do it.

What? Listen to them Did I I think you know what the show is? Do you know where you are? Sometimes but today I don't think I do.

I don't all right, so if no one's gonna volunteer, I'm not gonna make her do it first time If no one's gonna volunteer, I'm gonna just pick one of you I'm like over here, I know it's constantly waiting for it, but it's not happening. I don't do the nose thing. Fuck you. Fuck you.

Fill it I don't play my rules So we we being the villains Robinobo golden arrow and knocks teamed up with some superheroes from amberville that can grab you out obscurity and Query and we were having our own kind of mission to destroy Drake because Rick was making a lot of clones And it was gonna be a bad time. It was also taking over noxis company which knocks didn't like or appreciate So we had to stop that shit and we did we went to Drake Tower we goofed around with some stuff. We found some ghost Tracking protocols that Drake was developing. We smash the shit out of those.

That was a job for boss atelon. Adolon Yes, you got some cash for that. We went up fought Drake who was Matthew Morris. He did a great job as Drake He was very funny.

He was very helpful. We like Drake, but we also kicked his ass Did you like Drake though as an outside person? I like Drake. He burned you with fire and he also burned you with burns With an insult he did very sure so much so that you were actual in real life almost angry I feel like I go on sorry All this burn talk or you know whatever fun Yeah, so we tried doing a little bit of punching a little bit of punching didn't work because he was so strong So we had to team up we had to create advantages and we did that or a lot of people did that and then We punched him harder because of the advantages Yeah, and ended up fighting him until he was almost dead and then he decided to run away But when he was running away Cody Cody's character knocks.

Thank you. It was actually in his nostril Of a fire breathing dragon that blows fire out of his nose Hey, you know some some fire comes out of other places he had done it at least twice in that fight before then He didn't specify where the kid came out of He has some of that spider chicken vin de lu So yeah, he started flying off a breathe fire co or knocks got real burns up and started falling to his death But robin obit turned into a hang glider picked him up in the meantime golden arrow grabbed obscurity and uh swan dived off the roof holding obscurity Meanwhile the two other heroes of security arms are no scary Fuck what's his grab y'all and what's query query. Thank you. I'm sweet query Decided to go after Drake and not help their friend So scurvy kind of pancaked onto the side of the pavement And now I think that's not where we ended up.

Well the heroes or the villains told the heroes never to come to lake is harbor And we scooted on house of amber bill. You didn't need Um, so you get out of town pretty successfully you get back to knocks his mansion and we're gonna kind of do like a fast forward thing So you guys have prepared what you want to do for about two months And we're gonna kind of go through it like systematically Um because other things are happening while this these two months passed but like for the most part It's relatively drama free and you can kind of do what you want Um also characters have leveled up. So if you want to mention Uh how your character has changed and or improved after the fight with Drake you can do that too Um, I guess also what we should address is that alia's here and she's a new character Have we figured out how she's going to be in her is she being introduced right at the beginning of two months? Uh, yes or no?

All right, yes, no or near the end Do you like summer camp or not? Um, I think near the end would probably be a better idea Okay, all right. Cool. So we'll go over the the couple months for the other characters And then your character will come in and we'll explain that So, um, I guess i'll start with phil for the let's say the first month What is your character going to do and how have they changed?

So in the fight with Drake and as a result of jumping off of the tower golden arrow discovered that he can actually fly he can use his telekinetic abilities to move himself around It is something that he kind of discovered in a moment of panic when he had to really throw down and fight and As a result of jumping off the tower he did break his legs because he wasn't quite used to the new power yet And couldn't quite fully stop himself. So his legs were broken And uh, like minor fractures, I assume because it only takes about two months to heal Right, but in those two months he's been resting and recovering. He's been mostly doing that at the nox mansion Okay Hasn't been around his home life all that much He's still a little bit fearful of Drake and doesn't want to go back home. So he wants to say with he wants to say in the golden arrow Um, moniker, I suppose or you know character, right?

So he doesn't bring any attention to his wife and children Okay, okay Um Will how have you changed and what's going on in your Robonobo's world Um, robonobo, um was actually being a little bit obnoxious around the knocks mat of noxious, um, with a K So, uh, some boom him knocks was on bed rest couldn't deal with robo Same with golden arrow. He was he's always playing around on the gym equipment and uh golden arrows told him many times it's not to play on Um, so they ended up sending robo to summer camp Uh, they sent him to camp butterscotch bacon. It's located in the outskirts of lapis harbor And uh, he's he's just been there for a couple of months over the summer running some new things needing some new friends Okay, I honestly I don't know why I thought that was gonna be a joke, but okay This is the best story like I love this So that I guess happens So how was your character changed? What have you changed about your character since the Drake fight?

Okay, well, um robo, um, he's he wasn't really Traumatized or harmed as bad as other two guys in the fight. Um, so he's kind of maintained his normal demeanor but uh, making all those macaroni pictures and uh, friendship bracelets He's actually got really good at crafts and added the plus one to his crafting ability Okay, all right fair enough fair enough That's so stupid So all right knocks over those two months, uh, what do you do? How have you changed? Um, shall I just start reading off with my uh big old sheet here?

Well, let's eat ours to eat all of that All right, uh, it's not that big He said me never um, but no no noxas Like it was seen before knocks was very severely burned except for his face Some majority of his body's been kind of like burn up so he's been in bed. It's that robo off to the uh, to camp Because that's what robotic monkeys do I guess. Oh, yeah, uh, but for the most part He's just trying to get back what he has left of the corporation trying to buy off whatever he can find from drake And he's trying to learn to be use the genius in the very first episode I said he's a genius. Yeah, he's supposed to try and get a little bit more intelligent and a little bit more empathetic And trying to be able to do things that he's having other people do for him Um I don't know.

I don't really have any funny goose except for the point where uh, he's got to go to a parent Parent teacher conference at the camp and they think that he's a kid there so they keep him there for about what week or two Okay at the camp. Got a number of them. Um, a couple of questions. Um, first of all, uh golden air You said you were trying to be gold and arrow more often.

Yes. How is that affecting your home life with your wife and your child? Uh, not good Um She is not aware of where I am She checks the normal five or six of gyms that normally go to and uh, is not finding me at any of those gyms Um, so things have been a little tense. Uh, the one time I did go back.

Um, for my daughter's birthday. It did not go over well So there's some estrangement going on. There's some estrangement. Uh, golden arrow doesn't technically live at home anymore.

Um, so Not good is about how I can surmise it is golden air still motivated to protect his family even though he's not there all the time Oh, absolutely. He was he was not there because he wanted to protect his family. Okay, but it's having it's having ramifications at home Correct. Yep.

Okay. And uh, he is still trying to provide for them financially and boss Adeline gave, you know, that job got quite a bit of money So, that's kind of been taken care of but you know, there's always expenses maybe of possibly a divorce lawyer expense Okay, uh, we'll we'll add uh at camp. Um, what color t-shirt and baseball cap did you put on to fool the other campers? Well, um, like Knox and uh golden arrow robo has decided to be robo more often And uh, not going to be an altar ego No, he uh, the altar ego real quick.

It's uh, it's Bob no, bo Right, right. Like robert no, bo Actually, that was that was his uh, that was his name that he was registered under for the camp robert no, bo Um, he was a uh, star based ball player. Um, he's a little big for his age Um, but you know, he's not very socially adjusted. He's kind of a weird getting his homeschool interface with computers.

I mean, you know, okay Um, Knox, uh, when you say you're trying to buy back the corporation stuff, are you going to try to reinstate the old identity that was um Declared dad or are you going to make like a false identity for yourself? Um I didn't really decided one way or the other but I like the idea of keeping the identity I have now But try to find a way to have a system where if I need it I can actually use it saying that he's not dead that it was a false claim Okay, so you're trying to get him re-establish is not deceased. Yeah, as not deceased, but also as not me as not knocks So, okay, so the person who's the person what identity are you using to buy up assets and regain the company? Still as knocks, but there is a kind of alive, but now in the background Okay, so like you're trying to get your former identity reinstated as alive But as knocks the thing is like knocks is kind of a moniker that doesn't have legal status So like you can't really own property like especially like a legitimate corporation Like you can be in control of it, but you have to have like if you want soul control of it You have to either have like an alternate ego like a fake person Does that make sense?

Yeah So do you want to make like a fake person or do you want to try to reshuffle it back under? I mean it's still gonna be you. I'm just saying as far as a legal entity. Yeah, I'll just put it back under knocks Okay Um Also about halfway through this two months or a little less than halfway through the two months All of the gang members that have been hanging around your compound get really antsy and they're like man We don't have any ins Usually we've been dealing weapons are doing drugs and stuff and we have all those connections But we're just kind of hanging here You know what I mean?

Like hanging out at your house or protecting it can be go do some criminal stuff and actually make money because we're all going broke We have families in shit I start trying to hire them up to create a new corporation Called safe bet Okay So like you're trying to make them into corporation or criminal organization I'm trying to make them into a kind of like a corporation, but they've been hired as basically mercenaries I'm trying to make a another military look branch like uh, what's called private military basically Right all of these dude skills are like street level Crime skills though This is why I kind of had some ground level deals with the african resistance and I Use them training to get them training to get them training Yeah, kind of send them overseas to them not only do they have increased manpower, but I supply them with the weapons for their resistance Okay, so you're taking the street gang and you're trying to make them into like a paramilitary group If they don't want to be a part of it, they can either go home or die so Well, they just kind of want to be out on the street. They want to take over territory I mean, that's like their drive. They're like, okay. Well, I mean weapons are sweet That makes us better on the street like we kind of want to have no They don't they don't get the weapons unless they go and train overseas Well, I know they're willing to do that.

I'm just saying like as as an organization the gang They're like come to you and say hey we want to be kind of out of the street taking over territory and do our thing Is that cool? No, it's not cool You know, like you don't want to make money because I mean we got drugins and we can we can supply the streets because if we're not out there Another gang is gonna be out there and they'll be taking over your city, bro I give them two chances They're not going to be a gang But they'll either be part of the safe but corporation and part of this private area is military Or sure they can go back to the streets But I'm going to threaten all of them that if they start going around and trying to like hustle places trying to get in this drug Try again, I will be back with the vengeance So they either join me now and train up and do their best or they can go back to their pathetic lives On the streets, okay, so that's that's the ultimatum you give? Okay, um you lose some numbers, but some of them seem to be okay with it. So you have a little bit of attrition Okay Yeah, okay, so they uh they don't seem like as a group.

They're not super pleased with it with that decision But um most of them seem to be like following at least What were you gonna say? Oh, uh, I forgot to talk about the new skills and stuff I did. Oh, okay Do we want to talk about that? Yeah, okay So learning to fly is very tough Um and hard on your body.

So golden air didn't do it. He took a plus one to drive I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I took a stunts The stunts is called like a bullet through the air and it means I can fly real good.

Yeah And uh like robin oboe took craft because he was making macaroni art. Yes It's good for the suit of armors. I need um what what uh stunts and our skills changed for knots I I thought I kind of went by you a little bit, but I just kind of changed a lot of things with nox Provoke is still at the top, but I'm messed with a few things so he's a little bit more capable when a fight I did take a point and drive Right, but you kind of just like you retooled your characters skillset Yeah, I wanted to make nox more like be able to figure out what people are thinking So I took investigate and empathy as well as giving me like a plus one to athletics and burglary and bumping up stealth So we can actually go and steal things maybe and that like as your stunts, right? Uh, no, those those are as my my my core set as for the stung.

Did you change all of your core skills then? Yeah, okay I'll let you do that Okay, yeah, no that's cool. And then then as your stunts are you what what do you add anything? I basically scrap like I scrap two of them and You could so nox had a real come to jesus moment like everybody else is kind of advancing a knock.

Just like I need to change my life. Yeah Okay Oh, just wait, he's probably gonna be even worse now with the with the um the Blueprints that you took from Drake. Did you do anything with those? Yeah, I'd scrap the two cents that I had and then just replace it with something called the proto armory Where whenever I can go back to my headquarters I can basically nox can go into a suit and so far I have two suits of armor that give me pluses to certain things Right, so you like have a modular ability where you can get into a different like suit thing, right?

But if but if something happens and my suit is not to that thing if we're fighting and I'm on my stealth suit things might not go well Right, so yeah, it's basically like you can do it yourself to one purpose But it has a disadvantage that you're that way right? Right, um are you doing anything else with the blueprints? I mean you were able to work out like mild modifications for yourself But like to make a full mech suit you'll have to hire some tech guys and some engineers and stuff Do you go along that route or are you just kind of doing it for yourself right now? That was the second portion of safe bet um Basically going to use those modifications those suits to start arming those people that stay with me I'm going to develop those and then after a while safe bets also going to uh start selling those Suits out to people so they can protect themselves Okay, all right um to like start mass manufacturing something like that You're gonna have to get some engineers and stuff on your side Um, I was hoping that I could buy a lot of that from jurakes as his company kind of fell into ruins As his company fell into ruins there were a lot of uh organizations that moved into amberville to like kind of fill the void and Divi it up you're able to get some but not all of it There are a couple corporations in particular that are like vying for portions of it and taking up parts of it Does that make sense?

Yeah, so like it was a feeding frenzy and you're worth the only fish right? Um so you're able to get to get some parts of the company but not all of it But you're able to get most of your resources back if you bought your resource skill back up to where it was Yes, yes, okay. All right. So yeah, if your resource skill is still high then yeah, you're able to get back up to where your resources were Um, okay, uh one big thing uh about a month and a half in uh the two months dalston goes missing Uh what he just vanishes I spend all my resources to find him.

I can do the same Robo runs away from action Robo runs away from camp. Yeah, look at where dalston Throw myself into a river For anywhere if dalston's not around There's a couple of weeks where you search for dalston, but like it doesn't look good It's just like you vanished off the of the face of the planet Oh, damn it Um, okay. So is that everything does that kind of bring us to? Did he leave his car?

Yes. Thank god. All right. Let's keep going Well, you can drive now so you can always drive him just better.

I know how to take a left turns now Nice So does that cover everything everybody wanted to do in that time period? Yeah, yeah, okay, so Um, let us introduce Ali's character. Would you like to tell us what your character is about? Sure.

Um, so my character is dead eye And she is a sarcastic sharpshooter. So basically everything that has anything to do with guns. She is all about Um She was introduced to this group by basically getting into a bidding war with some unknown Person over this really really awesome gun. Um, and she lost the bidding war But after she lost the bidding war the highest bidder kept like taunting her about it kept sending her notes like, uh, I got this and you didn't Ha, um, so she decided to get back at this guy or person.

She didn't know who it was So she decided to get back at this person by stealing this gun Um, and she left a note in the safer it was hidden that said headshot and The bidder just kept like sending her messages. It was like man this gun. I don't know where it went Do you know where it went? I can't figure out who took it.

Um, he's just super frustrated over it And at one point he finally just says, uh, let's make a deal Okay, and that person was that was not okay. So you were in a bidding war with that so we're already starting off on a great foot This team is well oiled Okay, all right. So basically the equipment is something that you needed to build the suits or the technology of this particular weapon Ah, yes, actually, uh, the one of the I didn't want it to come up because I really wanted to role played out where Did I came to the place of a meeting and I need it for one of the suits in particular? Okay, all right.

So, um, it's about the end of the two months and uh, that I is there to make the deal Are you making the deal at the mansion? No, probably at the uh, althetras corporation building. Okay, is golden arrow and robo noble there? Yeah, I mean golden arrow would be around if nox is okay with it.

Yeah, assuming robo got picked up from summer camp. I guess he would be there Okay, summer camp is over there you you whittle the uh, uh, uh, uh, rally or derby car and you raced him and it was fun and then everybody went home You can turn into a dirt bike and drive yourself I was about to say I tried to send Donaldson, but don't I couldn't find Donaldson anywhere. So that's why uh, nox Has the drive skill because he was just like crap who's gonna go pick up robo? Guys, I'm doing it.

So you still have a bunch of gang members. I mean one of them can drive you. They're not They're still there just dollars. It's not their busy training.

I have you know, I have I podcast to listen to him way down there Okay. All right. So um all three of you yahoos are there and that I shows up Hi, I'm robo noble We gotta put out a strong face here I know you did a really good job. I just picked him up from the camp.

They did some good for him. I think he's a little bit well-rounded Aren't we making a deal about guns right now? Like we can do that later back at the mansion? No, I want to hear more about these macaroni pictures They're actually really good.

Look at robo's macaroni pictures. He's gonna start pulling some out of his chest compartment Okay, um Yeah, these are great. I know they're fantastic aren't they? He's still proud of him Anyway, uh, what was it?

Where was it? Oh, yes the gun. I was uh You beat me after all so uh, I wanted to cut you a deal I'll give you a portion of what I tried to pay for the item because he certainly didn't get the payment for it I'll give you half of what I was going to pay for it If you let some of my scientists and engineers here take a look at it for an instant They made us assemble it and reassemble it and give it back to you. I simply want the schematics What makes you think I want money?

Well, you seem to be a mercenary of some sort. What do you want then macaroni art? No, because clearly you people don't understand sarcasm. No What what do you want then?

I don't know. What can you do with that? I I only really have money Gold Narrow do you do anything other than lift? I do plenty of stuff.

There's nothing uh like the tangible I suppose You've been moping around for a while. So I didn't okay, um bro. Shut up. You've been moping around I like takes back your shirt.

I've been burned. Okay. I had therapy So we have three villains here and you can't offer me anything but money what we're not villains. What are you talking about?

Really robo robo are we villains robo learn how to make friendship bracelets in summer camp? That's one of the more villainous things I've ever heard Um, I don't know just so hang out and I kept some fun. Yeah, sure why not Do you want to go rob a 7-eleven? 7-eleven is a little bit Beneath me.

Oh, so you're a root 66 kind of woman then Motel six But it's hard to get to like all the doors And get all the cash out of it. Like what if a room is empty? Can't rob that empty room sure you can Do you like lamps and pillows and stuff like that? That's not very effective.

I can always grab the mitts What's the difference between doing that and the 7-eleven? Cash you don't have to find a fence for all your hotel stuff Okay, easily accessible. I mean robo already knows how to take out their power I'm actually just ripped it off the wall. That's not like well.

He still knows how to do it Robl can get into elevators too. We did do that And send emails Oh, robo got an idea We sent email and um we talk about um give us money and we Inherent money from Knox as a state and then we pay it back in small portions later. So everybody wins I mean it could work There's a whole state of people there just old so they don't know how to use computers. They might fall for it I feel like they were just taking money from the elderly which is a good plan But anyway, so if you don't want anything can I have the the prototype anyway, please?

Hold on a minute I'll give it back to you like I'll give it back to you then you can leave I mean it's okay. You are you can watch the engineers if one of them does something suspicious just I was going to say kill them, but I've been trying to respect them. Um, just tell me about it Fine, we'll see how this works At that time you guys uh not to get a call on one of your phones I pick up uh Knox speaking Um, it is the young woman who has been staying with you for months from the future Um During during the too much she had been looking into where to find the laurel wreath Yeah, and uh she calls you and says if you can tell uh golden arrow, I think I found a maximus man Okay, I'll uh make sure he knows Okay. Thank you.

Uh, thank you Jada Mm-hmm She hangs up nice hangs up Uh, I think my daughter figured out uh she has that copy of max pain that you wanted Anyway back to what we were doing But wait Did she say a maximum man? I don't know something like max pain max fury wrote. I don't I something about maximum and laurels or something Okay, she said the laurel wreath. Is that correct?

I didn't think it was near christmas time, but yeah sure oh god and then he will run out of the building And make his way back to the nation He's never been this excited in a while Was that all about again? Pre-workouts must have kicked in Smash cut to golden arrow running down the street screaming c4 And then stopping ten minutes later taking shit in an alley That's what c4 does to you Uh, I love how mean you have a different type of c4 in mind But each always end with explosions. Yes. Yes, I seem to lose coming out I don't know why you don't sum up this workout bullshit I told you I roommate my roommates in college like three of the five of them I lived with were exercise science majors I took none of their advice to heart Well, I do retain a lot of knowledge about it All right fair enough.

Okay, so you're running back to the mansion. What is everybody else doing? I'm I want to watch uh, I want to make sure that my engineers disassemble this correctly and don't mess anything up So are all three of the rest of y'all going back to the engineer area because that's where the guns going. Yeah, sure.

Okay. All right, um Phil he is gone Just pre-workouts to kick in Damn it phil. I'm the one with responsibilities. Not you.

Yeah, so we could go back to the back and I'm naming this place the proto armory Because it's just it sounds like crap. Uh, but yeah, that's where all of the engineers are that are creating the suits for me Okay, um All right, so you're you're there there. They're they're like, oh, I guess we can start on this it might take a while to actually get everything we need out of it Especially if it's officially advanced i read the man's name tag because i'm trying to make sure that I have more empathy towards my uh Underlings his name is dean. Okay.

Thank you, dean. Make sure that nothing goes wrong and the reassembly goes Better than however, whoever put it together. I can I can try I will do my best. I Presum is that okay, so Phil you're are you running?

Are you taking an uber or? Taking that villain uber of course. Yeah So taking that back to Knox's mansion Did okay, I assume in the two months I have figured out Knox's daughter's name. Yes, she goes.

She goes by Knox Let's All right, I go back to see Knox. I said Yeah, and um she also gets really upset if you call her lady Knox or girl Knox because she's like i'm the better knocks You can go with boy Knox. What the fuck? I'm not actually dealing with my real daughter.

Hold up No With a D because she's the daughter but as did she want like that. Can she be noxel? You call her future Knox if you want. Okay Um, so I get back to the mansion You pull it to the to the gate of the mansion and the uber lets you out at the gate I will say thank you, sir And I will get out and I will rate him five stars on the alright awesome When you get to the mansion you notice that on the front gate is one of your paramilitary guys and he's like He's strung up like crucified on the iron gates and he's like stabbed to death.

I don't care I go through the gate There's an information about the lower over here. Okay All right, you walk past the corpse. Actually, can I go back? Sure.

Um, I changed my mind. Sorry since I have my phone out and I was Rating the driver on uber. Can I open up villain snapchat and yes? Yes, I will take a picture of the crucified dude and I will send right in the message or with the picture One of your dudes is dead Do you know why this happened question mark and I will send it to knocks but in my phone since there's two knocks There's knocks from the future and past not your current timeline knocks.

I accidentally said it to both just cover my bases Okay, so then I don't say okay as you walk in you see future knocks look at her phone and then look at you and open it up and say no Hmm. I don't yeah, that dude was just kind of strong up there. I didn't know if like You killed him or no, and she checks her thing. She's like and it wasn't important to my timeline.

So You want you want to get down to the information? Absolutely. Yeah, let's find this uh maximus man. That's good.

All right. I'll share it with you what I have Um back at the company You guys are in the engineering area. They're like this is gonna take a couple weeks So I mean you want to just kind of are you hanging out here for a while because this all research and reverse engineering takes a long time Looks like cool. This is fine fine fine.

Yes. Rome was a build today, bro I understand dean We don't really want to go back to the mansion. It's become a real frat house with knocks being in bed rest What is that supposed to mean? How late do you know your bedtime is at eight?

Okay, okay Dean's like what's your favorite movie robin elbow? I was gonna suggest robot animal house, but It's national name and they only release on dvd And not okay anymore. It's just DVDs. Yeah alternate timeline Okay, so is everybody still hanging around there where you guys going where you guys headed?

I don't know apparently doesn't want to go back to the mansion, but I do get a text or I get that uh snapchat, right? Yes, you do you said it was from the paramelet paramelet Guy like one of the people that I said overseas or uh, no, it's one of the guys that I mean they've been going over in waves So they don't leave your house abandoned gotcha and one of the guys that is there or was there Well, that's uh, I'm gonna get a snapchat like golden arrow back But it'll just be Knox's mask and then him going that kind of I don't know face or not face but hands rather Okay All right, so Where do you guys go now? So listen lady um It's going to take a while for the gun to be processed and reverse engineered. So Do you want anything in the meantime?

I mean I can set you a cut here uh a cut really I mean it says we also have three hats Offer with the car Do you know what understands your jokes? Please hurry up the process. This lady's going to be waiting for a while up and if you found out my gun I fuck you up I'm okay at my job. Leave you I'm leaving Dean leaves Usually I like her style So in the meantime, but I mean you can hang out here.

We're going to go Well, I can't say I guess we can't go back to the mansion because robo doesn't want to go um Look at this point. I don't want to stay here and watch these Dweeds do whatever they do You know that Shut up dean uh robo's rummaging around through some of the drawers and Display cases for the suits Thank you. You make robo suit Maybe I'll put it on the list that should I have to do Okay All right, I got a lot of stuff to do and apparently this gun is this gun is not priority. So I'm gonna do that first So you guys you guys are just kind of standing in the hallway awkwardly people are walking by Some of you some of them are looking like where are the guys walking away?

Can I can I go somewhere on a computer and try to see if I can find any information about since this person was stabbed multiple times And you said hung up yeah, can I can I make maybe an investigator some sort of role to figure out? Like who would do this because apparently not he didn't use a gun or whoever did it didn't use a gun Right, that seems really odd for a And if there was not dead yet, so they didn't break an enter roll roll it investigate. Okay Well, that was a wash uh to um, it seems like there has been a string of violent murders mostly against like gang members and mob bosses and like under underground Stuff, uh, there's been a string of them over a couple of cities, but then focused around uh, lekis harbor and then uh, and then that guy So no, it's just like no one specifically going after me again Thank you, whatever whatever deity um Seems strange. It really appreciate them killing this street gangs and under of ground bosses Hmm.

I don't I don't appreciate them killing my men What are you gonna do? Robo, I think we're gonna have to go back to the mention. I have to check this out in person Uh, robo's gonna turn into the uh dirt bike with the side car in the building. Okay.

No time to waste Okay What the hell was that? Let's go robo drive fast. It's the robo mobile Okay, can dox get on like the the seat in the front so he's driving but like it's Above his head you can barely see over robo's head. It's got what are they what are they called?

E-panger? Like you're like reaching up way above your head and hold on to the a-pangers That's what those are called right the handlebars. I really have to go All right, so that are you going with them? Oh, yeah, that I'm doing with them gesture to the side car Yeah, okay.

Why not? All right, you in broad daylight in public and in your outfits drive out of this corporation Um You head to the mansion the body is still strung up on the gate when you get there, but we're gonna cut to gold narrow Uh gold narrow she takes you back to where like she set up kind of a computer bank And she's kind of she's bought a bunch of stuff from like best buy or whatever But she's rigged it together in a really different like a really weird way that you don't quite understand it It seems to be running faster than modern computers. Okay, because she's got future technology and whatnot Um, and like it's running a bunch of algorithms and uh, she's like, yeah, I think I found Maximus man He is in steel city. Um, it's quite a ways away And there are some pretty powerful people that hang out there So I would be really careful when you go, but that's currently where he's hanging out So what do you know about Maximus man like Anything more than just this location Uh, yeah, I mean I have a historical drive on him.

Yeah, can I uh, can I see all of it? Sure and she she shows you some information Basically the the laurel wreath is something that like a magical item Supposedly from ancient rome and it lets people be the the maximum of human potential Like it increases the maximum of human potential and he earned it and and what he claims is an olympic games held by the actual greek gods And he's been wearing it for a while And he's basically like he's basically the tip top of human Uh, perfection like he's as smart as the smartest man as strong as the strongest man as fast as the fastest man Naturally like not the the super strongest, but he's as strong as a human being can be Yeah, but he's the maximum of human potential. Um, and he's been a hero for a while He's kind of he kind of runs around with like um, like misfit groups here and there and he like he trains young heroes and stuff Can you tell me what golden arrows reputation is currently? Currently, uh, your your name has gotten out there.

Uh, because you threw a hero off of a building Well, whether you did or not, that's the scuttlebutt Okay, as i've learned from a different podcast there's a difference between falling and jumping So there's a difference between falling and throwing I don't know if i would call it a throw But you know what the uh, the the the street side newspapers don't really make that distinction and nor do they have to? No one's holding them up to the scrutiny of nuance Much like in the real world soon. They know Right, I hope you release a newspaper that just discusses the difference between dropping and falling They're two different words. Yeah, there's a lot of papers, bro.

It could be a language arts journal Um, yeah, but your reputation has gotten around. Um, and there is word on the street that people have been hunting you guys so Uh, is maximus main on social needs right now? Yes. I want to tweet at him.

Okay You're gonna tweet at maximus man. Yep. Okay, under the golden arrow account Much apparently i've made actually I set up the account for golden arrow. It's just the egg When you go to when you go to maximus man's thing like the last thing you posted was like a day ago And it's with him and uh, he's like, I finally met iron justice and they're like holding hands and hands and smiling like in front of a big statue Um, I'm going to tweet at him and say I'm not gonna count out 140 characters, but I'm gonna give you kind of the general idea of the tweet Okay, basically.

I want to call him out and say I don't think you're the strongest possible I think I could beat you at your god's games Good you're challenging it to a sports event. Yeah, totally So I hit tweet Okay, um, and as if there was a twitter bot searching for certain words somebody tweets at you, uh, Um, it's an account from a man named sports man He says if anyone is challenging anyone I'm challenging you I'll tweet him back in three way Obviously at mentioning max in this man in there He's Can I just start getting things that just be like, you don't know he he hasn't he hasn't shared with you his i can count this Max was man doesn't respond, but um sports man does and sports man says name the game name the place I will uh continue tweeting at him be like max in this man claims to have won his wreath That's a gods game. I think we should all compete for that glory Um sports man says I don't give a shit about glory. I'm just the best on the b-ball court Goddamn it this way.

It tweets that you it gives tweeting at you different sports emojis I tweet back at him weightlifting emojis And then I say weightlifting is a sport screw you if you don't think so He he tweets at you agility and then the greater sign then he puts weightlifting. I'm gonna block sports man You blocked Your plot lines out Somebody else would say you with sports kids sports kids is how dare you block my dad you bastard I will tweet at his kid and say I will kick your dad's ass any day And then okay and then I will I'll see the lapis our community college course Tonight 8 p.m Fucking be their bitch and I well know I say 8 p.m cst or central standard time even though we're on east coast Yeah, um and he says we're bringing the home team bring your best All right, I won't be back at that point Okay, all right, so uh future not to stay there going what the fuck are you doing? Oh, I was uh trying to call out maximus man and see if I could challenge the gods and get the like reform myself Oh, you actually want to do it legitimately and do it through like in a little big games I mean whichever way possible, but I feel like I could definitely beat him in a contest of Olympic games They were into like, you know, just sitting in chair then punching each other in the face until they like passed out That was like boxing to them. So I feel like I'm pretty good at it Okay, so there's a couple of ways you can go about that.

She says oh she says um One way in in my future Uh, you just kind of murdered him on the street and took off his head But if you really want to you can try to find an old pantheon god and apply to be in the olympic games Hmm interesting. I mean if you apply to be in the limping games and you straight out challenging me He has to defend it If that's really the path you want to go down, but then you're messing with some gotcha and uh, I don't know if that's something you want to do Uh, does this oral wreath change me in any way like do I have to be good? The wreath or can I just know I be myself right? Yeah, which which Greek gods do you know require someone to be good?

Uh, I mean, I know all the Greek gods obviously Um, but you know just any of them no Zeus no That turns that he turns into goose's and does terrible things to ladies. Well, you know, no, I don't he's a dick Either way look if you want to find old pantheon god, you can try I there are people that communicate with them And you just have to find someone that does I'll just kill him in the street. That's fine. Okay.

That's the way you want to go about it. There's a whole other way to do it I'm just saying do you want to help me shoot him in the face? That'll be fun Okay, but if we're going to steal city we're gonna need a lot of backup and we're gonna need to play it smart because steel city is the home of iron justice and that However tough you think you are you will not win a fight against iron justice. He is the leader of union of heroes Damn union communist bastards And we'll get out of my seat And I will lean my head out the wind out the door into the hallway and be like hey, does somebody want to go kill a dude?

There's a couple of dudes in the machine like our gig is like half overseas bro. Oh, I didn't realize you guys were out here I thought it was Knox. Oh no, he's not quite here yet. Oh, shut back to Knox Knox you just arrived at the gate the body is still hung up on there So Knox Robonobo and that I are at the gate Is this a usual occurrence in your household?

Not on the usual usually I'm the one doing Yeah, no, it's more like gluing people's face to things. Um, no, it's not an unusual occurrence um Forensics is easy, right? We could just figure out what's going on here out of character. I will stab you.

I know that's what I kind of said Um, you'll stab because forensics is super easy. Yeah, it's totally Killing me A bunch of CSI videos. I'm out Yeah, you both can type on the same keyboard at once I have to do is take a concrete mold of the tire, right? It's what you need to do.

Um, so So, so what are you trying to figure out from the body? How he died. I'm obviously the multiple snap wounds, but maybe there's something else we could find. Uh, clues.

Yeah, there's letters all carved up in his chest Oh, what did the letters say? Uh, there's two big letters a D and a B and underneath it says you tried to kill my friends. You're dead. God dammit.

That's fucking guy Who's who's DB? Doogebag Obviously some dougebag did this to us Do watching a movie Robon we're gonna have to discuss your vocabulary now. Um, see if I can remove that from your programming I'll just apply Yes, but why would they call themselves a douchebag if they they they carved it in themselves? Marketing Uh, nox is going to look up on his phone if there is a person marketing themselves as douchebag in the area No, okay.

You sure you want me to make investigation rule? Yeah, okay. There's nobody marketing themselves As it's not a zany villain named douchebag and like a server No, there's sports. Yeah, but there's sports kids, but there's no douchebag Wait, I look up hot coral Uh hot corals currently going under a laskin pipeline now.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, damn He recently changed his name from uh, what is it something? Paris go just here. Yeah, he's recently changed his name from Swedish bear scope.

He took off all his underwater gear Because he got transformed into like a kind of a submarine robot and he's like, well, I can't be Swedish bear scope anymore So he changed it to uh He almost changed it to Dutch rudder, but it's like you know what it's I'm gonna be the Alaska pipeline and now he has cold powers See I love this man I also have written down he used to be the Cleveland steamer or now donkey puncher Oh, yeah And his name is his name is car also He also used to be hot coral when you get the flame throwers and also his name is Carl Sanchez and he also went under dirty Sanchez when he was homeless Oh man, and when he had the music attachment, he was the rusty trombone Because he's a robot you guys told him he couldn't be cleave on steamer He was trying to be what he wants to be like Gullen arrow poth his head out the front door You're like, uh, hey guys, you want to go kill somebody?
