[SPEAKER_04]: We got a nice bowl of ramen
02:26.270 --> 02:39.008
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, or as in his wife, Zach and his wife came into the city, because they heard about a new ramen place and they wanted to try it, which is normal behavior and we can all agree.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was a list as recommendation, but I can remember you were like, so what do you guys do in up here?

[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, which is maybe her real name or maybe not.
03:05.280 --> 03:12.167
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe I got yelled at a little bit for talking about Mormon stuff on the bottom.
03:12.267 --> 03:13.268
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she's a good sport.
03:13.648 --> 03:17.873
[SPEAKER_02]: We can believe it if you want, but I think you have already said it many times.
03:17.893 --> 03:19.294
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, it was very fun.
03:19.949 --> 03:24.395
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, now did you get any cool Christmas gifts from a handsome co-host?
03:25.176 --> 03:26.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, I did.
03:26.438 --> 03:30.464
[SPEAKER_02]: I would go grab it right now, but it was seen it, so it's okay.
03:30.925 --> 03:31.726
[SPEAKER_02]: Wouldn't help anyone.
03:31.766 --> 03:32.927
[SPEAKER_02]: The web has can't see it.
03:34.570 --> 03:43.923
[SPEAKER_02]: John actually gave me a spider-man head bowl that you put your Amazon echo inside, but you don't have to put an echo in it.
03:44.584 --> 03:44.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
03:44.824 --> 03:46.767
[SPEAKER_04]: You didn't do anything at it.
03:46.747 --> 03:51.756
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's here's like I have an ironman when I might buy myself a spiderman one too.
03:53.298 --> 03:53.619
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we could match.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think it looks pretty cool.
03:57.906 --> 03:58.307
[SPEAKER_02]: It does.
03:59.489 --> 04:04.397
[SPEAKER_04]: My government can listen to me in such a cool design helmet.
04:06.040 --> 04:10.307
[SPEAKER_02]: I was talking to my friend about this today, you know, we're kind of
04:10.523 --> 04:13.009
[SPEAKER_02]: We're sick freaks when we get together.
04:13.029 --> 04:14.493
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't have a sick puppy here.
04:15.034 --> 04:19.585
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm doing my very, very dark humor friend.
04:20.106 --> 04:21.490

Load full transcript
--> 04:26.963
[SPEAKER_02]: And we talk today about like, man, there's going to be a landmark case.
04:26.943 --> 04:31.389
[SPEAKER_02]: with a Supreme Court just throws our first amendment right to free speech out the window.
04:31.930 --> 04:43.446
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's going to be something like this where people are like, you know, texting jokes to each other about like, oh, we need to blow up our other friend's car, you know, which we're not going to do.
04:43.466 --> 04:55.903
[SPEAKER_02]: But at some point, you know, the government is going to listen to to someone's conversation and just be like, they're going to say, it's too far, you know what,
04:57.217 --> 04:59.681
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't take the chance that you're kidding about this.
04:59.721 --> 05:01.524
[SPEAKER_02]: You go straight to jail for a joke.
05:02.425 --> 05:05.771
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the new route that this podcast has taken.
05:05.811 --> 05:10.278
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, weren't you coming in hot with something?
05:10.498 --> 05:11.300
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you already do it?
05:11.720 --> 05:12.662
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we didn't do it.
05:13.022 --> 05:17.149
[SPEAKER_02]: I love how we wanted it to... Left or right now.
05:18.496 --> 05:25.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so we were talking about shirts before we hopped on the podcast.
05:25.727 --> 05:39.569
[SPEAKER_02]: We were talking about fulfilling shirt orders and I don't know if I've told you this, but I have been waiting now like nine months for a shirt to come in from a band that I pretty well liked.
05:39.750 --> 05:45.238
[SPEAKER_02]: I would have been maybe one of their biggest fans in the world, which is not saying I'm the biggest.
05:45.258 --> 05:46.360
[SPEAKER_04]: What have been?
05:46.340 --> 05:51.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, genuinely, like Spotify and Apple music would be like not anymore.
05:51.993 --> 05:54.135
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're not a big band at all.
05:54.576 --> 05:57.960
[SPEAKER_02]: They're a Gundam themed Screamo band.
05:58.701 --> 05:59.882
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm gonna put them on blast.
05:59.922 --> 06:01.804
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna say it's, and it's name was Epion.
06:01.844 --> 06:03.266
[SPEAKER_02]: They steal from their fans, dude.
06:04.207 --> 06:07.911
[SPEAKER_02]: I pre-order this shirt like last spring.
06:08.972 --> 06:10.554
[SPEAKER_02]: And it never is a man.
06:10.574 --> 06:13.517
[SPEAKER_02]: Hot take coming from a former biggest fan in the world.
06:14.138 --> 06:17.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, and it's so stupid, I want to keep singing their praises.
06:17.562 --> 06:20.245
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to see them live,
06:20.647 --> 06:26.356
[SPEAKER_02]: I've even like checked with other people who commented on like that pre-order and they're like I'm bordering this now.
06:26.376 --> 06:30.042
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a great shirt and I've asked them did you ever get this?
06:30.763 --> 06:34.589
[SPEAKER_02]: And this band totally just took all of our money and it's like ghosting everyone now.
06:35.470 --> 06:36.773
[SPEAKER_04]: And that was nine months ago?
06:36.813 --> 06:37.674
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
06:38.495 --> 06:40.258
[SPEAKER_04]: Are they still putting out stuff?
06:40.238 --> 06:45.064
[SPEAKER_02]: They are like an active on social media just ignoring you guys.
06:45.445 --> 06:46.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, sort of.
06:47.387 --> 06:53.755
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been announced for like some shows and I'll comment on the shows and I'm like, Hey, why aren't you answering us?
06:54.536 --> 06:55.718
[SPEAKER_02]: And they won't say anything.
06:56.138 --> 07:00.103
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're not a big enough band to where they're like.
07:00.083 --> 07:02.388
[SPEAKER_02]: always posting and always active.
07:02.428 --> 07:05.917
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I genuinely might be their number one listener in the world.
07:06.097 --> 07:09.124
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not the only one who bought this shirt and the shirt was 50 bucks.
07:09.665 --> 07:11.028
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm just a little pissed at that.
07:11.389 --> 07:13.554
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were at the end.
07:14.276 --> 07:17.383
[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the real kick in the pants of it.
07:17.363 --> 07:29.396
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like a communist band, and so they took the five heads of communism, Marx Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and they made their heads into Gundams.
07:29.657 --> 07:30.900
[SPEAKER_02]: And the shirt is like,
07:32.163 --> 07:43.843
[SPEAKER_02]: it looks like Soviet or Chinese propaganda and it says rebellion is justified and they're selling this like anti-communist sure and then they're robbing their fans anti-communist sure.
07:43.863 --> 07:46.067
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry anti-capitalist.
07:46.087 --> 07:50.033
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow that probably says something about society.
07:50.594 --> 07:56.905
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah you know Margaret Thatcher says a problem with socialism you eventually run out of other people's money.
07:57.003 --> 07:59.987
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, this, she's not wrong.
08:00.448 --> 08:06.055
[SPEAKER_04]: Zach, the thing about capitalism is, you got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
08:07.117 --> 08:07.597
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
08:07.637 --> 08:10.221
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I remember my name and other things.
08:10.341 --> 08:12.424
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just going off on tangent after tangent.
08:13.125 --> 08:14.807
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my best friend.
08:15.748 --> 08:17.190
[SPEAKER_02]: He's such an idiot.
08:17.210 --> 08:19.273
[SPEAKER_02]: He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
08:20.054 --> 08:20.956
[SPEAKER_02]: Not really, but kind of.
08:21.777 --> 08:26.503
[SPEAKER_04]: We were talking about, like, this is the,
08:26.483 --> 08:33.593
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not an oil tycoon, but we were talking about student loan debt and I was like, yeah, dude, I have like $30,000 of it.
08:33.673 --> 08:34.334
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, what?
08:34.975 --> 08:35.396
[SPEAKER_02]: How?
08:35.416 --> 08:38.540
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's always been the guy who's like, don't forgive them.
08:38.961 --> 08:40.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
08:40.623 --> 08:41.584
[SPEAKER_02]: I paid mine off.
08:42.205 --> 08:43.427
[SPEAKER_02]: It was hard work, but I did it.
08:43.828 --> 08:46.031
[SPEAKER_02]: Turns out he had like $6,000.
08:46.051 --> 08:49.455
[SPEAKER_02]: He had $6,000 of student loan debt.
08:49.676 --> 08:50.857
[SPEAKER_02]: His parents paid everything else.
08:51.238 --> 08:54.803
[SPEAKER_02]: And he could not fathom that I had $30,000 of it.
08:55.272 --> 08:59.757
[SPEAKER_02]: That just makes me sorry that you have so much student loan debt.
09:00.497 --> 09:00.978
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, don't worry.
09:01.018 --> 09:03.400
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just about to put on 50,000 more of it.
09:03.540 --> 09:04.601
[SPEAKER_02]: This should get forgiven.
09:04.662 --> 09:07.264
[SPEAKER_02]: It should, you know, I think.
09:07.324 --> 09:11.709
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you know that if you work for the state for like five years or so, they'll forgive it, I think?
09:12.530 --> 09:18.636
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually ten years and it's ten years of qualifying payments while you're working for the state.
09:18.676 --> 09:22.900
[SPEAKER_02]: So for me, because I was in deferment during COVID, it would be 15 years.
09:23.133 --> 09:33.649
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, this is a scam, and I checked this out, so with my qualifying payments, the only thing it would be saving me would be my last payment.
09:34.338 --> 09:37.803
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, because that's how long it would take to pay off anyways.
09:38.424 --> 09:38.685
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
09:39.246 --> 09:41.469
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that is shitty.
09:42.070 --> 09:43.312
[SPEAKER_04]: Dude, the government's a scam.
09:43.913 --> 09:45.856
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the government is a scam.
09:45.876 --> 09:47.558
[SPEAKER_04]: Which, which president was that under?
09:48.400 --> 09:54.809
[SPEAKER_04]: His logic, uh, it would have been like throughout the end of the Obama years into the Trump years.
09:54.869 --> 09:57.173
[SPEAKER_04]: It's probably when he was paying it off.
09:57.153 --> 09:59.478
[SPEAKER_04]: So I gave it I think so.
10:00.059 --> 10:00.360
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
10:00.380 --> 10:01.883
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that sounds like he's giving guy.
10:01.923 --> 10:02.785
[SPEAKER_04]: He's the best.
10:03.105 --> 10:03.727
[SPEAKER_04]: He's the best.
10:05.370 --> 10:11.883
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I want to I won't I didn't get to properly tell you about this band.
10:12.725 --> 10:13.928
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay Zach.
10:15.691 --> 10:17.575
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you called the credit card company?
10:17.774 --> 10:18.976
[SPEAKER_02]: No, here's the thing.
10:19.096 --> 10:20.959
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I could do a charge back.
10:21.500 --> 10:22.321
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely.
10:22.441 --> 10:23.783
[SPEAKER_02]: At this point, it's the principle.
10:23.843 --> 10:30.193
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm standing up for
all the other and its name was Epi on fans that were wronged because I'm sure there was Domet dozens of us.
10:30.935 --> 10:34.180
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and the charge back probably won't affect them.
10:34.300 --> 10:36.323
[SPEAKER_04]: They, I think, have already gotten that money.
10:36.363 --> 10:39.187
[SPEAKER_04]: All it would do is the bank would probably pay.
10:39.468 --> 10:44.035
[SPEAKER_04]: You would just say it's like a, they would just give you the money back for it, I think.
10:44.302 --> 10:49.091
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I don't understand the way you have to explain your principle stance again.
10:49.151 --> 10:51.074
[SPEAKER_04]: Why aren't you getting your $50 back?
10:51.515 --> 10:53.679
[SPEAKER_04]: I want it to come from the band dammit.
10:53.739 --> 10:56.064
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't what I want them to go with they did.
10:56.244 --> 10:57.226
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why you won't.
10:57.366 --> 10:59.089
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why you don't want it to get it from the bank.
10:59.410 --> 11:01.153
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a principal demand right there.
11:01.193 --> 11:01.894
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
11:02.996 --> 11:03.577
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
11:04.018 --> 11:05.601
[SPEAKER_04]: What else are we coming in hot with?
11:06.138 --> 11:07.080
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm nothing, dude.
11:07.100 --> 11:08.103
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like super chill.
11:08.263 --> 11:08.604
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing.
11:08.765 --> 11:09.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing's bothering me.
11:10.369 --> 11:11.552
[SPEAKER_04]: Zach.
11:11.572 --> 11:13.838
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything's always bothering me, but not today.
11:14.820 --> 11:15.562
[SPEAKER_02]: Life's too good.
11:15.883 --> 11:19.793
[SPEAKER_02]: Looks kidding, because I just complained for 10 minutes straight.
11:20.296 --> 11:21.717
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what this podcast is for.
11:21.898 --> 11:25.181
[SPEAKER_04]: Zack, look at this really old comic book that I have next to me here.
11:25.401 --> 11:30.286
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, since this is an audio medium, the listeners can't see this comic book.
11:30.867 --> 11:34.110
[SPEAKER_02]: But I can imagine it's pretty old, isn't it?
11:34.130 --> 11:34.831
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very old.
11:35.171 --> 11:36.052
[SPEAKER_02]: The frame is not.
11:36.092 --> 11:37.694
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a beautiful frame you put it in.
11:38.034 --> 11:40.977
[SPEAKER_04]: It makes it look pretty nice, doesn't it, with the frame?
11:41.137 --> 11:42.779
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it didn't really look this nice.
11:42.999 --> 11:46.523
[SPEAKER_04]: It looked much older, I would say, before it was put in the frame.
11:46.739 --> 11:59.263
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a very good touch, and it's a lot better than how I display my comics on the wall, which is just put a fucking nail through the back of the bag that I bought them in.
11:59.632 --> 12:04.157
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, I bought a case of like 10 comic book frames.
12:04.618 --> 12:07.861
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you need any, I have, I now only have used two.
12:08.122 --> 12:15.170
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think I have either six more or eight more depending on how many I would have given them to you for another Christmas holiday gift.
12:15.930 --> 12:18.093
[SPEAKER_04]: Ah, okay, well now you don't have to shop for next year.
12:20.295 --> 12:23.479
[SPEAKER_02]: That guess how old this comic is.
12:23.932 --> 12:24.613
[SPEAKER_02]: I looked it up.
12:24.713 --> 12:26.054
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's a Jack Kirby.
12:26.334 --> 12:27.915
[SPEAKER_04]: So, yep, it is.
12:28.156 --> 12:35.942
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why it was purchased because you said that it would be worth thousands of maybe one day because it was a Jack Kirby.
12:36.383 --> 12:53.938
[SPEAKER_04]: If anyone's wondering, it's the mighty Thor journey into mystery issue 104 and it says giants walk the earth on the cover and, um, and Mandy got it for me for Christmas because we
12:53.918 --> 12:58.505
[SPEAKER_04]: And she could tell I wanted to get it, but it was like 70 bucks.
12:59.306 --> 12:59.566
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:00.127 --> 13:00.528
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know.
13:01.028 --> 13:02.290
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome find.
13:02.751 --> 13:05.876
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we should read that issue for a bonus sometime.
13:07.097 --> 13:08.339
[SPEAKER_02]: I was having the same thing.
13:08.379 --> 13:11.844
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously you don't have to open yours because it's a very old copy.
13:11.864 --> 13:14.148
[SPEAKER_02]: But like I checked in it is on Marvel and Limited.
13:14.308 --> 13:15.490
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, okay.
13:15.590 --> 13:17.633
[SPEAKER_04]: I was thinking the exact same thing.
13:18.174 --> 13:21.799
[SPEAKER_04]: Because when I was slipping through it, it was it's pretty delicate.
13:21.779 --> 13:22.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:22.540 --> 13:23.321
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd imagine so.
13:24.262 --> 13:24.362
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:24.382 --> 13:30.168
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even think I have any comics that are like close to that valuable.
13:30.949 --> 13:38.478
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I've never been like a huge collector in terms of like having like the cool original printing, you know?
13:38.998 --> 13:45.205
[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of amazing to me that there are people like when I'm thumbing through that, I
13:45.185 --> 14:10.213
[SPEAKER_04]: there were like three main comics out that were like the the quote more valuable ones but then there were hundreds of comics that they had that you could thumb through and it's like how could you even collect all of there's so many at this point i mean i wouldn't even know where to start if i wanted to start a comic book collection like this is issue 104
14:10.430 --> 14:15.095
[SPEAKER_04]: That means there were people that had presumably 103 issues before.
14:15.115 --> 14:18.338
[SPEAKER_04]: How much space did it take up to like be a comic book fan?
14:18.858 --> 14:19.679
[SPEAKER_02]: It takes a lot.
14:19.859 --> 14:28.247
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a friend whose dad is
a comic collector, and he has an entire room of his house just dedicated to these boxes that he never opens.
14:28.988 --> 14:29.248
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
14:30.129 --> 14:39.458
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder how much it's, I'm using quotes again, how much like it's worth everything in that room.
14:39.893 --> 14:40.213
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:40.694 --> 14:41.736
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's got the good.
14:43.638 --> 14:46.362
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, are we coming in hot with anything else?
14:46.382 --> 14:47.344
[SPEAKER_04]: Should we get into it?
14:47.524 --> 14:51.450
[SPEAKER_04]: We've done pretty well, it's only 15 minutes and it seems like we've covered a lot of topics.
14:51.911 --> 14:52.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's see here.
14:53.373 --> 14:55.997
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure we angered the lips, the conservatives.
14:58.340 --> 14:58.961
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're good.
14:59.021 --> 15:00.343
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
15:01.304 --> 15:05.350
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, well, you can send it over to our sponsor because you're always quick with it.
15:05.450 --> 15:08.635
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got a witty sponsor always.
15:09.205 --> 15:15.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Every business says they're better, but the ones that earn and display the BBB seal back it up.
15:17.174 --> 15:24.161
[SPEAKER_00]: It instantly identifies businesses that are committed to operating within integrity, honoring promises, and telling the truth.
15:24.682 --> 15:27.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure to wonder why every business doesn't have it.
15:27.585 --> 15:30.107
[SPEAKER_00]: So look for it because it's looking out for you.
15:30.147 --> 15:37.255
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why it's the sign of a
15:39.293 --> 15:41.144
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, Zach, we're back.
15:41.908 --> 15:44.303
[SPEAKER_04]: Please, where did we leave off?
15:44.806 --> 15:45.912
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so...
15:47.444 --> 16:01.689
[SPEAKER_02]: We left off last week with Captain America meeting Miles and giving him his blessing after a little bit of conduct convincing and then Miles like joined the fight and helped out.
16:02.210 --> 16:08.881
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, he helped take down the rhino and so now we have the issue with the rhino.
16:08.921 --> 16:12.287
[SPEAKER_04]: Did either of us even talk about Paul Giamati last week?
16:12.267 --> 16:13.168
[SPEAKER_04]: you mentioned him.
16:13.569 --> 16:14.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank god.
16:14.550 --> 16:18.074
[SPEAKER_02]: What I've missed opportunity that little bit.
16:18.755 --> 16:20.897
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but you're on you're on it, of course.
16:21.297 --> 16:22.219
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
16:22.239 --> 16:27.344
[SPEAKER_02]: So now we're going to see what Captain America does a little bit after that.
16:27.485 --> 16:37.296
[SPEAKER_02]: So remember then in the ultimates the previous week, he was like in New York for a spell, which is when our Spider-Man issues took place.
16:37.276 --> 17:00.246
[SPEAKER_04]: and then he had to go right back out and join the fight again on like the
front lines because remember America is like splintered America is divided we see it like every time every every page America's falling apart yeah some might even say divided we fall and united we stand yeah which is the name of this country's built on
17:00.226 --> 17:02.009
[SPEAKER_04]: Is this called United We Standard?
17:02.049 --> 17:02.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it is.
17:02.751 --> 17:04.414
[SPEAKER_04]: The last one was divided we fall.
17:04.935 --> 17:06.317
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's, it uses both.
17:06.979 --> 17:07.399
[SPEAKER_02]: Cute.
17:08.301 --> 17:21.786
[SPEAKER_02]: My favorite type of, um, crossover, uh, or like event for Marvel, is the ones where it's actually two crossovers with two different titles, but they are one combined.
17:21.946 --> 17:23.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for X-Men, there was
17:23.429 --> 17:35.936
[SPEAKER_02]: House of X powers of 10, which 10 was used as an X, so it was spelled House of X powers of X, and these were different series, but you needed to read both to get the same story.
17:36.678 --> 17:38.502
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, interesting.
17:38.583 --> 17:49.380
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually did like that one, but in general, I'm like, I don't understand that naming convention of it's one story, but we're going to give it two names and publish it under each different name.
17:49.761 --> 17:52.185
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, it just makes it more confusing.
17:52.245 --> 17:53.066
[SPEAKER_04]: We've encountered that.
17:53.086 --> 17:54.769
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like a couple of times.
17:54.749 --> 17:59.597
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but hoxpox did rule that actually that's Jonathan Hickman joint.
18:00.178 --> 18:12.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so we're getting back into the ultimate ultimate comics the ultimate issue 15 we've got Thor on the cover and oh I forgot to mention one other thing that had happened in the ultimate.
18:13.659 --> 18:15.542
[SPEAKER_02]: The president is being contested.
18:15.522 --> 18:24.036
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they found some crooked senator to say that the president was illegitimate and they were going to have to have an election.
18:24.637 --> 18:28.463
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and there was like Senator Underwood also, right?
18:28.743 --> 18:31.407
[SPEAKER_04]: How does he come into play with he was the crooked senator?
18:32.008 --> 18:32.749
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think so.
18:33.310 --> 18:35.494
[SPEAKER_04]: Was he like an important guy or something?
18:35.514 --> 18:37.297
[SPEAKER_04]: Was that the guy that was meeting with the oil?
18:37.517 --> 18:39.420
[SPEAKER_04]: No, that is the president.
18:39.704 --> 18:45.499
[SPEAKER_02]: He was meeting with the red-haired dude with the different color bars.
18:46.200 --> 18:48.185
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, who we still don't know anything about.
18:48.226 --> 18:48.988
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
18:50.030 --> 18:50.271
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
18:50.652 --> 18:54.822
[SPEAKER_02]: But all of that will, but we will by the end of today's episode.
18:54.882 --> 18:56.146
[SPEAKER_02]: We will play into these issues.
18:56.306 --> 18:57.088
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
18:57.507 --> 19:09.921
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so we open on the Colorado River and there's a family that's on a life raft and they're going down it and they're saying stay down kids don't make a sound.
19:10.542 --> 19:11.423
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of harrowing.
19:11.463 --> 19:22.215
[SPEAKER_02]: It kind of reminded me of like those quiet place movies or something or I guess in a more modern context it would look like.
19:22.195 --> 19:28.624
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they look like immigrants like fleeing, you know, down a river and the little kids stay there.
19:28.944 --> 19:29.886
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's what they are.
19:30.406 --> 19:30.707
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
19:30.947 --> 19:31.187
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
19:31.328 --> 19:36.455
[SPEAKER_02]: They're people trying to be in another country and I think it's that they're leaving America.
19:36.475 --> 19:42.583
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're trying to like, defect to Mexico because the Colorado River would flow down.
19:42.764 --> 19:45.968
[SPEAKER_04]: They're trying to go into the new, the West Coast nation.
19:46.028 --> 19:48.912
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's what California is like being called.
19:48.892 --> 20:10.748
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... so this is happening on the aero zone uh... california border you know what john thank you so much for calling me out on this you are absolutely right that is what's going on i should have just read the issue where it tells me that's man i was just making up a whole scenario we can cut this
20:11.217 --> 20:22.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, so the kid stands up and it's like, Dad, look at those lights and they're like Dylan, don't stand and then the kid falls and he splashes in the water and causes a scene.
20:22.592 --> 20:33.186
[SPEAKER_02]: And he attracts this group of like swarming bug robot things that clearly have like guns as they're stingers.
20:33.707 --> 20:36.651
[SPEAKER_02]: It says you have three seconds to return to your country of origin.
20:36.918 --> 20:41.309
[SPEAKER_02]: 1, 2, 3, and let me see the news headline.
20:41.349 --> 20:51.214
[SPEAKER_02]: A family of five was found dead along the Colorado River this morning, bringing the death total to along the California Arizona border to over 100 victims.
20:51.667 --> 20:55.011
[SPEAKER_04]: So, California is shutting itself off.
20:55.031 --> 21:02.139
[SPEAKER_04]: They're the new nation, they're naming the West Coast nation, which is so boring.
21:02.620 --> 21:05.263
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what you'd expect out of a bunch of tech grows.
21:06.043 --> 21:06.965
[SPEAKER_04]: No imagination.
21:07.425 --> 21:11.750
[SPEAKER_04]: And they are just killing anyone who's coming over.
21:11.810 --> 21:16.155
[SPEAKER_04]: There's probably some politics involved there.
21:16.135 --> 21:17.938
[SPEAKER_04]: I bet there's a message to be sent.
21:18.459 --> 21:21.684
[SPEAKER_02]: John, you keep
your lib politics out of my ultimates.
21:24.729 --> 21:25.009
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
21:25.029 --> 21:26.932
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess we should try their lib politics.
21:27.032 --> 21:27.613
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll try.
21:27.633 --> 21:28.635
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
21:28.855 --> 21:40.033
[SPEAKER_04]: This might be some conservative politics because this is much harsher than anything you'd find in the United States.
21:40.418 --> 21:40.778
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:41.419 --> 21:43.601
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and the first thing we can agree on that.
21:44.882 --> 21:46.744
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know that.
21:46.764 --> 21:52.450
[SPEAKER_04]: The immigration message they're sending, you know, it's probably not as harsh as this.
21:53.090 --> 21:58.676
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, as far as we know, we haven't invented killer B robots yet as far as we know.
21:58.696 --> 22:01.258
[SPEAKER_02]: And it says America's decision.
22:02.360 --> 22:09.987
[SPEAKER_02]: Today's top headline polls are opening across America for the country's historic first presidential recall election.
22:09.967 --> 22:16.334
[SPEAKER_02]: under special election rules, Americans will elect a president from a wide open field of candidates.
22:17.636 --> 22:21.760
[SPEAKER_02]: After a two-week campaign, voters have not been eager to make up their minds.
22:22.261 --> 22:35.856
[SPEAKER_02]: President Howard already facing accusations of legitimacy and questions of his competency, now faces stiff competition for the job, and under what is his competition, and then it says other,
22:35.836 --> 22:41.144
[SPEAKER_02]: And so those are like, I guess, third party votes, which is, yeah, there are no cards.
22:41.164 --> 22:45.431
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so this reminded, this, this issue reminded me of two different things when I was reading it.
22:45.992 --> 22:46.433
[SPEAKER_02]: What's that?
22:46.553 --> 22:58.131
[SPEAKER_04]: First was like those episodes of the West Wing when it's like the election day episode and the whole thing takes place over the election day as the results are coming in and everyone's scrambling.
22:58.887 --> 23:09.425
[SPEAKER_04]: And the second is a season of 24 where each, where, you know, it's 24 hours, right, each episode.
23:09.445 --> 23:14.854
[SPEAKER_04]: And here we kind of get to watch, maybe the Jack Bower of America,
23:15.307 --> 23:21.434
[SPEAKER_04]: you know kind of go around just kicking ass while the election results are rolling over the course of twenty four hours.
23:22.155 --> 23:34.549
[SPEAKER_02]: That is I hadn't thought about that that is good and then the way that like these panels are like made into a grade it reminds me of how in twenty four a lot of times it would go into a a little grade of four.
23:34.569 --> 23:35.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
23:35.711 --> 23:42.158
[SPEAKER_02]: The clock would be taken and it'd you'd see like oh here's a terrorist planting a bomb and here's some people typing.
23:42.138 --> 23:50.037
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're doing this election and we're seeing through like CNN, they're not allowed to call it CNN, but it's, it's VNN.
23:50.899 --> 23:52.062
[SPEAKER_02]: Vaught News Network.
23:52.603 --> 23:54.267
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought, I thought that too.
23:54.788 --> 23:57.695
[SPEAKER_04]: Zach, I just watched the trailer for the boys today.
23:57.756 --> 23:59.640
[SPEAKER_04]: They're coming back.
23:59.620 --> 24:07.774
[SPEAKER_04]: Really when I know that there's always wondering the same thing will the girl with the super powered pubes shell up in the boys.
24:08.515 --> 24:21.797
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know Yeah, I think it comes back in April actually so pretty soon faster than I thought that actually I am glad that they staggered it with Gen V
24:21.777 --> 24:26.603
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes it seem like it's not quite as long of a way even though it is correct.
24:26.944 --> 24:27.244
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
24:27.665 --> 24:27.985
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
24:28.005 --> 24:41.423
[SPEAKER_02]: So we see that no less than 20 independent groups in the Midwest to form the Great Lakes Alliance, they have a guy that's dressed like Fidel Castro that they're calling the dictator of Detroit.
24:41.403 --> 24:47.212
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just taking us through where all of these, you know, insurrections are happening throughout the country.
24:47.853 --> 24:53.541
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we see Captain America talking on a video screen to President Howard.
24:54.443 --> 24:59.310
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like asking for permission to go in and do a mission and save some people.
24:59.628 --> 25:13.256
[SPEAKER_02]: and the president's like denied, we need you elsewhere, our resources are spread then, and cap does a big cap speech, and he's like, those are Americans in those refugee camps.
25:13.797 --> 25:21.012
[SPEAKER_02]: I can assemble a team, and the president basically says, no, I'm not, I'm not,
25:20.992 --> 25:31.523
[SPEAKER_02]: fucking around with this and cap says sir with all due respects your oath of office did not stop at the Mississippi last night checked and he walks away in the president's yelling at him.
25:32.185 --> 25:32.646
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
25:32.707 --> 25:34.933
[SPEAKER_02]: I like a good Captain America.
25:36.179 --> 25:39.104
[SPEAKER_02]: doesn't obey bad leaders.
25:39.605 --> 25:43.733
[SPEAKER_02]: No matter state, sanctioned, you know, soldier.
25:44.514 --> 25:45.456
[SPEAKER_02]: He just does what's right.
25:45.917 --> 25:46.458
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
25:47.360 --> 25:51.948
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see him drive a Jeep somewhere along the new Mexico Texas border.
25:52.930 --> 25:59.402
[SPEAKER_02]: And he is standing there talking to Nick Fury, who we have not seen in a while.
25:59.382 --> 26:00.144
[SPEAKER_02]: I cheered.
26:00.184 --> 26:01.808
[SPEAKER_02]: I clapped at the screen.
26:01.828 --> 26:08.725
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the last time he appeared in this podcast, he jumped off a hell of
a carrier and just vanished.
26:08.965 --> 26:15.501
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I would have forgotten that, but luckily Steve Rogers and now yourself, you have both your mind and me of that.
26:15.481 --> 26:20.555
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and because I was reading it, we were weren't we like, where did he go?
26:20.596 --> 26:30.283
[SPEAKER_04]: Or like the people with wings jumped after him, but we didn't really, yeah, they, they were behind him by quite a lot of ways.
26:31.748 --> 26:50.833
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been on his own, safe to say, and because I read the ultimate X-Men issues that correspond with this event, I know he has been helping train Kitty Pride as she's kind of leading the mutants out of like the Sentinel camps.
26:51.314 --> 26:54.258
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what he's doing in the desert here, which is kind of cool.
26:54.859 --> 26:55.900
[SPEAKER_02]: That is cool.
26:55.880 --> 27:04.277
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're they're talking over the situation and Rogers is kind of like the president told me to keep my boots on U.S. soil.
27:04.898 --> 27:06.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever that means anymore.
27:06.181 --> 27:10.209
[SPEAKER_02]: And Nick Fury reminds us that he's still a wanted man in America.
27:10.770 --> 27:13.055
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they just kind of shoot the shit as friends.
27:13.095 --> 27:14.057
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like.
27:14.037 --> 27:32.502
[SPEAKER_02]: how do you how do you get out of that situation dude you took a swan dive off a hell of a carrier and Nick Fury just kind of grins and doesn't answer the question and then he says last time we talked was only about a hundred clicks from here remember and john that was the moment
27:32.482 --> 27:35.145
[SPEAKER_02]: that we also read in Ultimates, Oh, so long ago.
27:35.806 --> 27:40.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, when they were sitting around a campfire, probably eaten a can of beans.
27:41.052 --> 27:41.272
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
27:41.953 --> 27:46.799
[SPEAKER_02]: In the desert, and he's like, calf, we need you to come back and captain America was like, no.
27:47.840 --> 27:59.333
[SPEAKER_04]: And captain America says, you know, somewhere in this conversation, like, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation if if I had listened to you back then.
27:59.313 --> 28:02.458
[SPEAKER_04]: We haven't talked about that, but maybe we wouldn't be.
28:02.798 --> 28:05.623
[SPEAKER_04]: What would have happened if Captain America came back?
28:06.524 --> 28:08.487
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't think it could have been any worse.
28:11.552 --> 28:13.696
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder if he's going to wrestle with that at all.
28:14.096 --> 28:16.079
[SPEAKER_04]: He's probably been wrestling with enough grief.
28:16.580 --> 28:18.323
[SPEAKER_04]: He's probably, he's got it over that.
28:18.744 --> 28:21.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he seems like the kind of guy he's going to tell me out.
28:22.069 --> 28:24.072
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a different era now.
28:24.052 --> 28:41.368
[SPEAKER_02]: right so then I mean that's they they talk for a long time but then I really say much that's pretty much the just of it and it cuts back to the news reporting on these killer b robots just mowing down a crowd of people
28:41.348 --> 28:51.305
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's really sad because you see the bullets like ripping through these people and one of the things you see is a woman running with her kids and you're just like, oh man.
28:51.645 --> 28:55.351
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of death and destruction going on from these wasps.
28:55.992 --> 28:57.154
[SPEAKER_04]: This is not okay.
28:57.555 --> 29:01.722
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a more violent panel than we're used to seeing in these comics.
29:01.742 --> 29:05.989
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's against like a
29:06.374 --> 29:07.518
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty upsetting.
29:08.742 --> 29:10.608
[SPEAKER_04]: And who's doing this?
29:10.709 --> 29:16.067
[SPEAKER_04]: This is this is California doing this again to like people who are on the border.
29:16.307 --> 29:16.789
[SPEAKER_04]: I think
29:17.225 --> 29:27.157
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it says the refugees riot broke through the camp fences and into the town, the west coast security system has swooped in and it's a massacre.
29:27.898 --> 29:40.853
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, they have, like, like tech bros, they seem to have automated their like border defenses and just given it to these like AI killer beef robots that are shooting people.
29:41.339 --> 29:41.840
[SPEAKER_02]: no good.
29:42.701 --> 29:43.622
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't like it.
29:44.563 --> 29:51.332
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see in a control room in Sacramento, uh, people are, are like, saying, stop them.
29:51.352 --> 29:52.414
[SPEAKER_02]: They're killing these people.
29:53.315 --> 29:54.597
[SPEAKER_02]: More as do something.
29:54.937 --> 29:56.279
[SPEAKER_02]: The system is taking control.
29:56.980 --> 30:03.369
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see more as this smug, red head of dude with one red, one blue eye.
30:03.609 --> 30:04.750
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it just to me?
30:04.831 --> 30:05.752
[SPEAKER_04]: We've seen him before.
30:05.832 --> 30:06.733
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
30:06.853 --> 30:10.418
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, he showed up the past couple of issues and
30:11.191 --> 30:19.262
[SPEAKER_04]: He looks a little bit more like a spoiled brat than normal.
30:20.183 --> 30:24.790
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, it's just a little younger than he usually looks, I feel like.
30:26.232 --> 30:34.363
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he looks very like smug here, like a little kid that gets his way.
30:36.233 --> 30:42.019
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and he tells them, you said you were desperate to keep them out of your brand new country.
30:42.359 --> 30:45.683
[SPEAKER_02]: The wasps are just doing what they were told to and they're like shut it down.
30:46.264 --> 30:49.567
[SPEAKER_02]: And he says, sorry, gentlemen, my job here is done time for me to move on.
30:50.188 --> 30:54.532
[SPEAKER_02]: And he just vanishes from one panel to the next
his chair is empty.
30:56.574 --> 31:01.339
[SPEAKER_02]: So these leaders aren't necessarily in favor of the massacre.
31:01.379 --> 31:04.823
[SPEAKER_02]: They just aren't capable of stopping it now.
31:05.680 --> 31:17.783
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, more as has his own schemes and plans, obviously, which you have alluded to a couple times that he's got more going on than we know about right now.
31:17.965 --> 31:30.264
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we saw him like egg on the people in Dallas in the last issue, um, he was kind of the one behind a lot of their schemes and I think he gave them the gold to back the new country and everything.
31:30.585 --> 31:34.591
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so he's now he's the one who's kind of escalating all this.
31:35.092 --> 31:38.657
[SPEAKER_02]: His game is just destabilization.
31:38.637 --> 31:46.787
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see this mom and her kids running, and it looks like the Wasps are about to catch up to them.
31:46.827 --> 31:48.930
[SPEAKER_02]: We see the bullets bouncing around their feet.
31:49.851 --> 31:54.617
[SPEAKER_02]: And then all of a sudden, Captain America shield breaks through one of the Wasps.
31:55.638 --> 31:59.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Me grabs the family and protects them.
31:59.183 --> 32:02.767
[SPEAKER_02]: And the people on the news are like, is that what I think it is?
32:03.828 --> 32:07.513
[SPEAKER_02]: That's some good Captain America right there.
32:07.730 --> 32:11.056
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he wasn't fast enough to help a lot of those people, though.
32:11.958 --> 32:15.324
[SPEAKER_02]: Zach, wonder if that's going to weigh on his conscience?
32:15.344 --> 32:18.009
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to, he's going to rub some dirt on it.
32:18.510 --> 32:28.168
[SPEAKER_02]: Helped you know, if he had gone straight to that town, instead of going and chatting with his old friend, shit with Nick Fury for 45 minutes in the middle of nowhere.
32:28.418 --> 32:30.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like they're they're they're standing there.
32:30.904 --> 32:33.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so who do you like in this Notre Dame game?
32:33.691 --> 32:45.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh shit How to be somewhere Half the people are already dead So yeah, the Carol Danvers goes up to President Howard and she's like hey, I have a message from Cap
32:45.682 --> 33:08.584
[SPEAKER_02]: and uh he's like he just resigned the position of captain america five minutes ago he said he'll she'll send the shield back tomorrow and we see cap just fucking up the wasps and uh some of the other ultimates have joined him um he's got black widow and hawky there also taking out the wasps and getting people to safety
33:09.897 --> 33:13.140
[SPEAKER_04]: He's runnin' as soon as Captain America comes back.
33:14.081 --> 33:21.809
[SPEAKER_04]: He makes one phone call, and all of a sudden, all of the superheroes are like this well-oiled machine of a team again.
33:21.869 --> 33:23.971
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
33:23.991 --> 33:26.533
[SPEAKER_04]: We're all working together, you know.
33:28.175 --> 33:29.256
[SPEAKER_04]: What were they all doing?
33:29.776 --> 33:31.118
[SPEAKER_04]: Ha ha ha.
33:31.138 --> 33:32.639
[SPEAKER_04]: They were rudderless without him.
33:32.960 --> 33:33.520
[SPEAKER_02]: They were.
33:33.540 --> 33:36.563
[SPEAKER_02]: It is guys a good leader.
33:36.661 --> 33:43.902
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, for so long, I held on to the belief that Andrew Luck was going to unretire and come back to play for the cold.
33:44.664 --> 33:49.337
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is how I imagined it playing out, like boom, cap is back.
33:49.925 --> 33:50.907
[SPEAKER_02]: Follow his lead.
33:50.927 --> 33:53.791
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to the Super Bowl boys if you ever did come back.
33:53.971 --> 33:54.993
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how it would have gone.
33:55.754 --> 33:56.195
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
33:56.215 --> 34:04.508
[SPEAKER_02]: Guess we'll never know Cap is running through this like factory drawing the The wafes away.
34:04.849 --> 34:10.077
[SPEAKER_02]: He's very clearly the diversion that's supposed to like take them away from the crowd
34:10.057 --> 34:18.210
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Iron Man comes in and he does a big blast right through his like arc reactor and he blows him all up.
34:19.132 --> 34:25.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see on CNN they're just getting the primo shots of everything Captain America's doing.
34:26.123 --> 34:36.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Wherever he is, you know, dodging or jumping through something or breaking a robot or saving someone, they've got the camera angled there.
34:36.280 --> 34:41.526
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see the the reporter say is it legal to write in cap for president.
34:42.167 --> 34:56.302
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know But I did it either way at least he's out there helping people instead of bickering about politics And we see some more people say hell, yeah, I voted for Captain America Captain America getting a written-in for president.
34:57.043 --> 34:58.265
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
34:58.385 --> 35:02.369
[SPEAKER_04]: Isn't this a pretty famous thing?
35:02.389 --> 35:05.713
[SPEAKER_04]: Captain Captain president America
35:06.723 --> 35:08.565
[SPEAKER_04]: Captain president America.
35:09.967 --> 35:10.829
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, how about that?
35:11.409 --> 35:14.894
[SPEAKER_04]: I just want to, it makes me wonder about the logistics of it.
35:15.935 --> 35:17.337
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, of a snap election.
35:18.078 --> 35:25.288
[SPEAKER_04]: And you see something in the middle of the day, and now it's going to
35:25.268 --> 35:38.732
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, people are talking in line, if nobody's excited about either of these like people that they've never heard of, you know, if all of the, if all of our elected leaders did just get blown up in a big blast by an alien.
35:39.473 --> 35:49.251
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to put myself in the situation and then I'm standing next to someone and they show me a video of Captain America like kicking ass saving people and they're
like,
35:49.231 --> 35:52.886
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you hear people are writing in cap for president just for the laws?
35:53.589 --> 35:55.798
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be like sure, maybe I will.
35:56.200 --> 35:58.242
[SPEAKER_02]: We've done meme coin presidents before.
35:58.663 --> 35:58.963
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:59.383 --> 36:00.625
[SPEAKER_02]: No harm in doing another one.
36:01.385 --> 36:06.410
[SPEAKER_02]: And so we cut to like a beautiful lake in Wyoming.
36:07.311 --> 36:08.973
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's there's two boats.
36:10.014 --> 36:15.300
[SPEAKER_02]: And on one side, there's like a bunch of hunter outdoors men looking dudes with guns.
36:15.840 --> 36:17.882
[SPEAKER_02]: And on the other side, it's just more as.
36:18.603 --> 36:19.844
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're pointing their guns at him.
36:19.864 --> 36:20.885
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, you more as.
36:20.905 --> 36:21.866
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, yes, I am.
36:21.886 --> 36:23.608
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for meeting with me.
36:23.774 --> 36:27.201
[SPEAKER_02]: And they say, are you a muti or a fed or a socialist?
36:28.184 --> 36:29.988
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that they added socialist.
36:30.048 --> 36:34.117
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the idea that we are like a terrifying power.
36:34.157 --> 36:35.319
[SPEAKER_02]: And we need to remember that.
36:36.221 --> 36:37.564
[SPEAKER_02]: We.
36:39.907 --> 36:54.844
[SPEAKER_02]: are you a muti a fed or a socialist and he says none of the above I think you'll find on one of a kind and we find out that these people are hydra they say we're everywhere been building up in secret for years trying to keep the government off our backs.
36:55.482 --> 37:07.313
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of, I like this idea that in the ultimate universe, Hydra is just like the three percentors, it's just dudes out in the woods who like guns and hate the government.
37:07.453 --> 37:11.798
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's what I was thinking, you know, Hydra, wow, they have fallen a long way.
37:11.838 --> 37:14.260
[SPEAKER_04]: They used to really be powerful.
37:14.300 --> 37:17.383
[SPEAKER_04]: Now they're just like the duck dynasty guys.
37:19.004 --> 37:20.086
[SPEAKER_02]: They do look like that.
37:20.846 --> 37:22.688
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, if you're going for,
37:22.668 --> 37:25.633
[SPEAKER_02]: Quantity, not quality of recruits.
37:25.833 --> 37:35.608
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like getting in on like the fox news Cohor is not a bad way to like build the ranks anyways He says I think you gentlemen have got it all wrong.
37:35.649 --> 37:41.638
[SPEAKER_04]: You shouldn't fear the government the government More as looks like a teenager in this too
37:41.618 --> 37:49.405
[SPEAKER_04]: And all of reading I've never thought I always thought he was just like an adult man But now this is kind of like two times in a row.
37:49.425 --> 37:49.945
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I mean.
37:50.006 --> 37:59.594
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they drew him a little younger here Yeah, maybe I might have to get maybe maybe maybe should compare I don't know how to ruin this for you.
37:59.654 --> 38:11.625
[SPEAKER_02]: You know who I think he looks like because I agree he looks really young here
38:11.605 --> 38:29.284
[SPEAKER_02]: He's appealing to what they want to hear he's saying you shouldn't fear the government the government should fear you don't you know how strong you guys are You know you bring an army out of hiding and I'll get the secret ingredient that will make it invincible and then the title card drops and They're like what what are you talking about it?
38:29.344 --> 38:37.012
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's called project Pegasus ever heard it and we've seen project Pegasus get robbed by bad guys before and we know it's no good.
38:37.052 --> 38:38.774
[SPEAKER_02]: What is project Pegasus again?
38:39.214 --> 38:40.836
[SPEAKER_02]: It's where shield keeps all their stuff
38:41.288 --> 38:42.490
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just everything.
38:42.510 --> 38:51.567
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it's the base in okay, Wyoming or you'll find out It's like a specific thing.
38:51.587 --> 38:52.509
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
38:52.629 --> 38:53.491
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just okay.
38:53.772 --> 38:55.635
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all it's it's the base
38:55.750 --> 39:09.437
[SPEAKER_02]: the Bank of Easily Robbed Weapons, and we go back to what the news is showing about Captain America, and it's beautiful and cinematic, and it says we're witnessing incredible developments on two fronts.
39:09.918 --> 39:17.353
[SPEAKER_02]: As Captain America fights in the West, he has emerged as a substantial right in Canada in the presidential recall election.
39:17.333 --> 39:23.484
[SPEAKER_02]: and they bring in the fucking analyst dorks who are like, we've never seen numbers like this, blah, blah, blah, blah.
39:24.145 --> 39:26.990
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, cap doesn't know any of this because he's still in the battle.
39:27.731 --> 39:34.363
[SPEAKER_02]: And then just as they're like talking about how good he's doing in the polls, he does something else cool, and he spikes in the polls again.
39:34.343 --> 39:48.161
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems kind of unfair, John, for this presidential election coverage to be monopolized by the one presidential candidate that's like jumping off of cars and destroying robots in that moment.
39:48.802 --> 39:53.908
[SPEAKER_04]: But they're just reporting on the news of all the killings.
39:54.569 --> 39:54.829
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
39:54.950 --> 39:56.291
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm cap saving everyone.
39:56.812 --> 39:59.495
[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone's just seeing it and they're like writing him in.
39:59.515 --> 40:01.498
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you think we're like...
40:01.478 --> 40:11.938
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if I was Senator Underwood right now, I would cause the biggest stink in call cap, and actor, these are all paid actors, this is a fraud.
40:11.978 --> 40:19.473
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe, maybe they would have a stink about like
advertising because you have to give equal coverage to all the candidates.
40:20.455 --> 40:23.841
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we need another special election.
40:23.821 --> 40:50.841
[SPEAKER_02]: or it would be funny if they just did a triple split screen of what all these candidates are doing right now and two of them are just like rich assholes by their pool and then ones captain america saving people that might not help them anyways iron man says i found the source of the command signal cap big gun in root and we see Tony is kind of talking and working through things with anthony his
40:50.821 --> 40:56.830
[SPEAKER_02]: his tumor, they talks to and Anthony has a nice iron man suit now.
40:57.411 --> 40:57.871
[SPEAKER_02]: He does.
40:57.932 --> 41:17.841
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a little iron boy suit and it seems like he gets hacked or something because he starts talking some jumbled language and then says offshoot and then Thor gets to the top of a shipping container and he sees a weird symbol on it and Cap still doesn't believe in this tumor.
41:17.821 --> 41:31.038
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, Tony, we don't have time for you and your imaginary friends to play games and I'm not sure if I agree with Cap or Tony I don't know what this stupid-tuber thing is either.
41:31.058 --> 41:38.428
[SPEAKER_04]: This is probably just all in Tony's head Well, we've seen it at the meeting though, right?
41:38.968 --> 41:44.976
[SPEAKER_02]: How is he like that doesn't make sense on how they stop the maker or disarm to that bomb?
41:45.395 --> 41:53.007
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we know at this point, we have proof of concept that his Anthony thing can do stuff somehow.
41:54.109 --> 41:58.436
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I think I'd just like it to be explained again.
41:58.476 --> 42:00.379
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, yeah, come on.
42:00.399 --> 42:05.968
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a thing, he's just here, it's fast it.
42:05.948 --> 42:27.670
[SPEAKER_02]: So Thor is standing on top of an Asgardian Roon that was burned into the roof of this storage unit, or no, it's not a storage unit, it's the mobile, it's the like mobile command center that those people were in with more as, and they were like, we had no idea, just shut it down, you have to believe us and Thor is like, I believe you.
42:27.650 --> 42:42.992
[SPEAKER_02]: and he brings down the thunder and destroys the room and all of the wasp drones fall out of the air like the droids in Star Wars Episode 1 when they blow up the one chip thing.
42:43.343 --> 42:44.565
[SPEAKER_04]: exactly like that.
42:45.046 --> 42:50.637
[SPEAKER_02]: The news is like this has been a day that Captain America or any American won't ever forget.
42:51.218 --> 42:53.221
[SPEAKER_02]: VNN has confirmed the results.
42:53.241 --> 42:57.089
[SPEAKER_04]: Why would they say this has been a day, Captain America will never forget.
42:57.129 --> 42:59.112
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're about to find out.
42:59.754 --> 43:00.495
[SPEAKER_02]: So we see.
43:00.515
--> 43:01.377
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I guess you're right.
43:01.737 --> 43:04.322
[SPEAKER_02]: We see Carol Danvers watching the TV.
43:04.302 --> 43:19.982
[SPEAKER_02]: and cap is like having a special moment with the kid that he just saved he takes off his like war helmet and puts it on the kid's head and lets him feel like he's captain america and the phone there's a pick it's the real hero
43:19.962 --> 43:24.208
[SPEAKER_02]: He is, remember, kid, anyone can hold the shield.
43:24.728 --> 43:28.233
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a pay phone on the corner, and it starts ringing.
43:28.433 --> 43:30.376
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, well, that's something you don't see every day.
43:30.416 --> 43:33.259
[SPEAKER_02]: And Captain America goes over and answers it.
43:34.000 --> 43:35.482
[SPEAKER_02]: And Carol Danvers is on the line.
43:35.522 --> 43:36.804
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like, hey, cap, it's Carol.
43:37.345 --> 43:39.147
[SPEAKER_02]: So have you ever known me to tell a joke?
43:39.548 --> 43:40.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And he says, no.
43:40.729 --> 43:42.231
[SPEAKER_02]: And she goes, good, remember that.
43:42.792 --> 43:43.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Steve, listen to me.
43:43.974 --> 43:45.776
[SPEAKER_02]: You just won the presidential election.
43:46.617 --> 43:48.940
[SPEAKER_02]: We see him standing there talking on the pay phone.
43:49.358 --> 43:55.565
[SPEAKER_02]: in the rubble of a destroyed city that he's been fighting an all day with the Avengers behind him.
43:56.507 --> 43:57.187
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, kind of.
43:58.109 --> 44:00.812
[SPEAKER_04]: How is Captain America going to be president?
44:03.475 --> 44:03.916
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
44:04.096 --> 44:08.661
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have to figure that out, but it sure is an interesting concept for a comic.
44:08.681 --> 44:15.990
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to cut through the red tape.
44:15.970 --> 44:22.300
[SPEAKER_04]: Talk about a good campaign poster, you know, swearing on the shield.
44:22.340 --> 44:29.052
[SPEAKER_02]: Shield cutting through some red tape, you know, he's going to instead of like signing things to have like a presidential seal.
44:29.112 --> 44:32.738
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to have a ring and it's just the shield emblem on everything.
44:32.898 --> 44:33.679
[SPEAKER_02]: Just stamp it.
44:34.200 --> 44:34.541
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
44:35.402 --> 44:36.263
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'd vote for him.
44:37.165 --> 44:42.113
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm running out of the other crux pieces of shit that we've got these days.
44:42.599 --> 44:43.691
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.
44:43.751 --> 44:46.197
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked RFK, dude.
44:47.628 --> 44:48.509
[SPEAKER_04]: That's your diagram.
44:49.410 --> 44:54.875
[SPEAKER_04]: RFK like Robert Kennedy who died a long time ago.
44:54.935 --> 44:57.698
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, yeah, he's a good.
44:57.798 --> 44:58.819
[SPEAKER_04]: He was a good guy.
44:58.859 --> 45:01.342
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you know, my parents love the Kennedy.
45:01.362 --> 45:04.985
[SPEAKER_04]: It's now I was like he's chose the closest RFK.
45:05.186 --> 45:09.009
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he makes some good points.
45:09.370 --> 45:12.673
[SPEAKER_03]: What do I what am I supposed to believe?
45:12.653 --> 45:20.248
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you'd like to tell me what to believe, I'll leave it at this if you believe my boss he's great.
45:20.709 --> 45:28.624
[SPEAKER_02]: She wished she could have voted for him just as president last time And I thought unfortunately bosses are usually pieces of shit.
45:28.645 --> 45:34.476
[SPEAKER_02]: So I guess I don't like him Yeah, he's a he's a politician for your boss
45:35.941 --> 45:39.170
[SPEAKER_04]: I love that, we should put that on a campaign poster.
45:39.691 --> 45:42.218
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a great hit piece.
45:42.238 --> 45:42.659
[SPEAKER_04]: That is.
45:42.699 --> 45:44.664
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, what do we think of this one?
45:44.725 --> 45:46.088
[SPEAKER_04]: What's our writing scale?
45:46.910 --> 45:49.377
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say, okay.
45:49.542 --> 45:52.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know how many electoral votes there are?
45:52.826 --> 45:53.967
[SPEAKER_02]: 538.
45:54.328 --> 45:54.428
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
45:54.448 --> 45:58.473
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so out of 538.
45:58.974 --> 46:02.979
[SPEAKER_02]: How many electoral votes did?
46:02.999 --> 46:05.081
[SPEAKER_02]: Or 100 for honors.
46:05.101 --> 46:07.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, okay.
46:07.024 --> 46:08.846
[SPEAKER_04]: 420 out of 538.
46:09.206 --> 46:09.887
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's see what.
46:10.628 --> 46:11.229
[SPEAKER_04]: That was fast.
46:12.010 --> 46:14.693
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's because 420 is a very special number.
46:14.753 --> 46:16.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Zach, I don't know if you understand that.
46:16.643 --> 46:18.205
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, no, what's that about?
46:19.006 --> 46:21.008
[SPEAKER_02]: Zach 420 is the weed number.
46:21.028 --> 46:25.534
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate to break it to you, but it's also Hitler's birthday in the college.
46:25.554 --> 46:25.734
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
46:26.415 --> 46:27.897
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's what, what's the other thing?
46:28.538 --> 46:30.520
[SPEAKER_02]: Hitler's birthday and Columbine.
46:31.381 --> 46:31.722
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude.
46:32.863 --> 46:37.769
[SPEAKER_04]: You, you freaking PC nerds just, you're really everything.
46:38.550 --> 46:42.195
[SPEAKER_04]: We just can't have any fun about anything anymore.
46:42.580 --> 46:46.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, 420 bitch, no, that's Hitler's birthday.
46:46.766 --> 46:51.652
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, I should have done it before if it is, but that's what people you see in it is, I've heard that, I know that that is.
46:52.133 --> 46:55.277
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, okay, I'm not going to let that ruin my fun.
46:55.798 --> 46:59.523
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you know what, don't celebrate the Hitler that committed all the atrocities.
47:00.003 --> 47:03.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Choose 420 to celebrate
the Hitler that killed Hitler.
47:05.871 --> 47:09.035
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I would have did something good, right?
47:09.055 --> 47:10.377
[SPEAKER_02]: You'd just be selective.
47:10.745 --> 47:11.126
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
47:11.967 --> 47:17.256
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so that came out to a 78% which does feel about right.
47:17.556 --> 47:18.778
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like an 8 out of 10.
47:18.798 --> 47:21.402
[SPEAKER_04]: I was going to give it in 8 out of 10.
47:21.483 --> 47:26.070
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, well, you can give it 422 out of 538.
47:26.150 --> 47:33.462
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I'll keep it in because as we know Zach 422 is 422.
47:34.201 --> 48:02.875
[SPEAKER_02]: ah ha ha ha ha all right i'll get up that that's good stuff that was a good one and i'll use the one the little something you might be one of the best dad joke tellers that i know i thought about this for a long time when we worked at that one job one day you came in and i was like oh you got a haircut and without missing a beat you were
48:02.855 --> 48:05.940
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm thought about that in the time sense.
48:05.960 --> 48:26.230
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like he came up with that so fast was he waiting over that I think it's like that's a classic right and that is the kids all the time now every time I get a haircut they said you're going to haircut and I say no I got all of them cut you just have to explain the joke quick with it I was like did he walk into this room?
48:26.210 --> 48:29.014
[SPEAKER_02]: Ready to make that to the first person who said something.
48:29.375 --> 48:29.996
[SPEAKER_02]: That's great.
48:30.536 --> 48:35.083
[SPEAKER_04]: Did I tell you I know we hung out the other day Did I tell you the one about the crows?
48:35.984 --> 48:37.086
[SPEAKER_04]: You did but say it again.
48:37.146 --> 48:39.109
[SPEAKER_04]: Did I tell it on this podcast?
48:39.450 --> 48:39.850
[SPEAKER_04]: You did it.
48:39.870 --> 48:43.836
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, okay Zach, this is really interesting.
48:44.076 --> 48:46.400
[SPEAKER_04]: How do I know if you've you've heard this or not?
48:46.800 --> 48:47.041
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
48:47.181 --> 48:47.521
[SPEAKER_04]: What?
48:47.562 --> 48:49.264
[SPEAKER_04]: It's so interesting
48:49.244 --> 48:58.841
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, the crows, I don't know if you've seen crows recently, but they have lost their ability to like speak and make noises.
48:58.881 --> 48:59.863
[SPEAKER_04]: It's crazy.
49:00.363 --> 49:00.704
[SPEAKER_04]: Really?
49:00.744 --> 49:01.485
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
49:02.247 --> 49:05.693
[SPEAKER_04]: Crows have gone silent, but the crows have gone silent.
49:06.133 --> 49:08.738
[SPEAKER_04]: Scientists are looking for the cause.
49:12.059 --> 49:14.522
[SPEAKER_04]: Another banger that's a good one.
49:14.942 --> 49:17.185
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's what we should show my students.
49:17.205 --> 49:20.728
[SPEAKER_04]: She came in one day and said that and I was like That's the funniest joke.
49:20.788 --> 49:22.851
[SPEAKER_04]: I've ever heard of my life.
49:22.871 --> 49:23.952
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna tell that's everyone.
49:23.972 --> 49:30.839
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean You you need to start coming in with a joke of the week We'll do a joke in a jam.
49:31.820 --> 49:32.901
[SPEAKER_04]: I could probably do that.
49:32.921 --> 49:37.947
[SPEAKER_04]: You can have a jam and I can have a joke Yeah, okay, okay.
49:38.207 --> 49:39.028
[SPEAKER_04]: That was a good one
49:40.021 --> 49:42.545
[SPEAKER_04]: Captain America's president's America.
49:43.386 --> 49:49.415
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not yet, because as we all learned in Civics class, he has to take the oath of office.
49:50.157 --> 49:51.258
[SPEAKER_02]: He has to be sworn in.
49:52.320 --> 49:53.842
[SPEAKER_04]: Right now he's just in president elect.
49:54.283 --> 49:56.246
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't care about that red tape.
49:57.087 --> 49:58.890
[SPEAKER_04]: He just wants to see the red white and blue.
49:59.010 --> 49:59.631
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
49:59.671 --> 50:02.636
[SPEAKER_02]: They checked his DNA.
50:03.717 --> 50:04.699
[SPEAKER_02]: It was better than DNA.
50:04.719 --> 50:06.301
[SPEAKER_02]: They said we've never seen DNA this good.
50:06.341 --> 50:07.463
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually USA.
50:08.692 --> 50:11.743
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so stupid.
50:11.783 --> 50:16.018
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh dude.
50:17.534 --> 50:19.176
[SPEAKER_04]: Donald Trump should say that.
50:19.316 --> 50:22.541
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the funniest thing he could ever say.
50:22.561 --> 50:29.331
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate to tell you this, but that is also something that I stole from like a screencap.
50:29.851 --> 50:37.101
[SPEAKER_02]: He I don't think he actually said it, but I think someone made like a fake meme where it was like the dialogue.
50:37.202 --> 50:37.722
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone.
50:38.423 --> 50:46.815
[SPEAKER_04]: He should just look online for things that people are like pretending he says, and he should just like say them.
50:46.795 --> 50:48.457
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a new plot.
50:48.517 --> 50:48.857
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
50:50.239 --> 50:50.600
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
50:50.960 --> 50:51.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Issue 16.
50:51.861 --> 50:52.982
[SPEAKER_04]: How many issues are in this?
50:53.303 --> 50:56.266
[SPEAKER_04]: If you divided, we follow United, we stand series.
50:56.887 --> 50:58.449
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I should probably know that.
50:58.469 --> 51:00.051
[SPEAKER_02]: Does the maker come back, Zack?
51:00.832 --> 51:01.613
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, not for a minute.
51:02.294 --> 51:03.395
[SPEAKER_02]: What do I say about the maker?
51:03.495 --> 51:04.977
[SPEAKER_02]: He's he's the fine shine.
51:04.997 --> 51:07.500
[SPEAKER_02]: I you only bring out on special occasions.
51:07.860 --> 51:08.101
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
51:08.401 --> 51:09.242
[SPEAKER_02]: You have said that.
51:09.779 --> 51:10.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
51:10.882 --> 51:14.592
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, while you're looking
that up, America is divided.
51:14.612 --> 51:18.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's one more issue of ultimates.
51:19.786 --> 51:24.117
[SPEAKER_02]: There's only one more for for this, uh, Ron.
51:24.137 --> 51:25.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that we're doing.
51:26.249 --> 51:27.131
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh.
51:27.591 --> 51:30.717
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so they're actually they're they're getting things wrapped up here.
51:30.757 --> 51:33.983
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, you elect Captain America.
51:34.043 --> 51:35.325
[SPEAKER_02]: You expect a lot done.
51:35.345 --> 51:36.828
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that is that is true.
51:37.008 --> 51:45.102
[SPEAKER_04]: I maybe we like breeze past it in the last issue a little bit, but it was kind of funny to see
51:45.082 --> 52:08.115
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like in California and he and the Avengers are just like they just roll through settle everything then somehow they're in Detroit hours later settling everything you know It really does feel like a comic book where they can travel any amount of distance between panels and It's all happening in the same day during the same election cycle.
52:08.135 --> 52:09.958
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I mean when I'm like it's
52:09.938 --> 52:29.803
[SPEAKER_02]: It reminds me of like one of those episodes where it's election day and they're doing all of these different things and all these different places, you know, yes, yeah, it's open shit and I'm glad you brought it back to that because that was one of one thing whenever I would watch 24 it was like the most unrealistic part of that show was like,
52:30.695 --> 52:32.538
[SPEAKER_02]: over the course of a commercial break.
52:32.778 --> 52:37.446
[SPEAKER_02]: So in his world like five minutes, Jack Bauer was getting across LA traffic.
52:37.506 --> 52:40.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was like one side to the other.
52:40.471 --> 52:43.877
[SPEAKER_04]: This bounce about to go off, but I'm stuck in traffic.
52:45.480 --> 52:46.141
[SPEAKER_02]: And here we go.
52:46.201 --> 52:49.767
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess we see cats in America doing the same thing.
52:50.422 --> 52:59.299
[SPEAKER_04]: So Cap is speaking to a crowd of people, and this time he really does have all the Avengers behind him, even Young Mr.
52:59.379 --> 53:09.578
[SPEAKER_04]: Miles Morales, the one and only Spider-Man, and behind him, if it isn't James Rhodes, Rodey, War Machine.
53:10.317 --> 53:14.984
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad that they pulled out the, uh, the deep cuts for his inauguration speech.
53:15.825 --> 53:16.185
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.
53:16.205 --> 53:17.247
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not his inauguration.
53:17.287 --> 53:18.429
[SPEAKER_04]: It's his accepted speech.
53:19.210 --> 53:19.891
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.
53:20.451 --> 53:20.692
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
53:21.513 --> 53:22.935
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the minority characters.
53:23.916 --> 53:24.838
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why they did it.
53:25.879 --> 53:28.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's also, it's the characters.
53:28.423 --> 53:29.504
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's either man.
53:30.005 --> 53:31.788
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're doing blacks for Trump, dude.
53:31.828 --> 53:34.551
[SPEAKER_02]: These guys are all paid actors.
53:34.571 --> 53:37.776
[SPEAKER_02]: I see the same guy at every rally.
53:38.296 --> 53:39.738
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not even war machine.
53:40.179 --> 53:45.688
[SPEAKER_02]: They hired, I, uh, what's the act to say?
53:45.708 --> 53:46.329
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't you know?
53:47.111 --> 53:50.516
[SPEAKER_02]: They've hired Don Cheatle to play war machine.
53:51.858 --> 53:52.459
[SPEAKER_04]: I would never.
53:53.201 --> 53:54.342
[SPEAKER_04]: That's Terrence Howard.
53:54.803 --> 53:56.506
[SPEAKER_04]: That's Don of it a big nap back there.
53:58.509 --> 54:02.616
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, Cap is speaking to his crowd of people.
54:03.372 --> 54:06.396
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's saying America is deep in crisis, we're divided.
54:06.436 --> 54:08.819
[SPEAKER_04]: America has asked me to lead them.
54:08.839 --> 54:12.143
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says he's a soldier, not a politician.
54:12.243 --> 54:19.071
[SPEAKER_04]: Here, I thought he was going to actually turn this down and be like, guys, I can't be president.
54:19.732 --> 54:22.436
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not a president, you know?
54:23.557 --> 54:27.983
[SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't know what to do if I were elected president tomorrow, I would not know what to do.
54:28.023 --> 54:31.607
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially if I had another job being Captain America.
54:32.262 --> 54:36.087
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well I think he's got to do a lot of like bills.
54:36.548 --> 54:38.650
[SPEAKER_04]: He's probably got to go golf or something.
54:38.710 --> 54:44.758
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, they expect him to be on this mysterious island by noon tomorrow.
54:45.399 --> 54:47.181
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everyone met this Epstein guy.
54:47.201 --> 55:00.919
[SPEAKER_04]: And but he doesn't seem like he'd have stuff that he would rather do and we certainly can't have the president wandering into active battle zones constantly putting his life in danger.
55:01.203 --> 55:09.171
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm not going to be the one to tell him not to, but he's he's he's saying, you know, but it's a desperate time and a desperate times.
55:09.231 --> 55:14.577
[SPEAKER_04]: I was taught that everyone must do their best that we must do everything we can, no exceptions.
55:14.597 --> 55:21.023
[SPEAKER_04]: We must all live up to our potential that when we are called, we must answer or we are lost.
55:21.784 --> 55:27.430
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, I have decided to answer the call of the people I accept.
55:28.085 --> 55:43.013
[SPEAKER_04]: I, Steve Rogers, Captain America, do solemnly swear that I'll execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend blah, blah, blah, okay, he says the thing, Zack, is he going to make a good president or not?
55:43.494
--> 55:44.676
[SPEAKER_04]: And I...
55:45.263 --> 55:47.266
[SPEAKER_04]: This is, I just got this.
55:47.927 --> 55:53.735
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I didn't think of this ahead of time, but is this a little militaristic here?
55:53.795 --> 56:01.545
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we have all of our super powered people with giant men standing behind being like, I'm the president now.
56:02.206 --> 56:04.529
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys are gonna do what we all say.
56:04.569 --> 56:07.373
[SPEAKER_04]: This is scary to me.
56:07.876 --> 56:10.703
[SPEAKER_02]: And also, I mean, I get that.
56:10.783 --> 56:12.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it does seem that way.
56:12.346 --> 56:14.752
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're doing a stream of the truth.
56:14.772 --> 56:20.485
[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't, didn't their buddy just take over like the world and blow up everybody?
56:21.005 --> 56:24.309
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and they're standing in front of the Triscillian.
56:24.589 --> 56:32.940
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, usually this is done on the steps of Congress, this is like the mega Pentagon that they're having this inauguration at.
56:33.541 --> 56:33.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
56:34.482 --> 56:37.285
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the giant men in the background that I really don't like.
56:37.325 --> 56:41.991
[SPEAKER_02]: For me, it's all the faceless suits that are standing around.
56:42.712 --> 56:43.213
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
56:43.233 --> 56:45.315
[SPEAKER_04]: There are a lot of faceless suits also.
56:45.876 --> 56:49.881
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe Captain America should have done this by himself, or just with Tony or something.
56:50.182 --> 56:58.916
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like there was a million better ways to do this because he's also not accepting it as the president, like he's accepting it as a superhero.
56:59.296 --> 57:03.323
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in costume, everyone behind him is in superhero costume.
57:03.783 --> 57:15.582
[SPEAKER_02]: They're standing in front of the superhero building, and then the podium he's talking at has the shield logo, not even like the presidential logo, and then he gives like
57:15.562 --> 57:35.764
[SPEAKER_02]: of Vibass speech about himself and like being a superhero and then rolls right into the oath of office when like usually the oath of office is administered by like some boring judge right you don't get to make it your campaign event and then lead into your own oath of office
57:35.744 --> 57:55.440
[SPEAKER_02]: this is this is very um it's very Trump honestly it's he's got a lot of he's got a sense for the theater of politics but we do like Captain America we do yeah we also I mean we said we like Trump or everything Trump well that's what I mean I wasn't the but wasn't
57:55.538 --> 58:05.241
[SPEAKER_04]: It was more all of this nonsense aside with all of his superhero buddies and putting on a big military show of show of force to accept the presidency.
58:05.341 --> 58:06.143
[SPEAKER_04]: We still like him.
58:06.524 --> 58:09.531
[SPEAKER_04]: He probably didn't have any, uh, like,
58:10.220 --> 58:11.742
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure he didn't think this through.
58:12.242 --> 58:14.986
[SPEAKER_04]: This seems like something Nick Fury might have put together.
58:15.687 --> 58:19.872
[SPEAKER_04]: And Captain America is an unwitting participant in this.
58:20.773 --> 58:27.340
[SPEAKER_02]: Captain America here comes off as like, what's the soldier from, always sunny?
58:28.181 --> 58:29.002
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben, the soldier.
58:29.303 --> 58:30.024
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben, the soldier.
58:30.364 --> 58:36.351
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like if we elected Ben the soldier president and then he did all of his own like PR.
58:36.832 --> 58:37.813
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
58:37.793 --> 59:04.155
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... so captain america you know they they announced on the news they're like he's now the president of the united states and they're like present cap i guess that's what he's gonna go by president cap uh... and they say will you move into the white house and he says america is my white house i don't know what that means that was like so where you get a live though
59:04.135 --> 59:12.643
[SPEAKER_04]: and he gets into a fighter he's a man just like flies off in a fighter jet which is a pretty bad thing for president to do
59:13.079 --> 59:15.042
[SPEAKER_04]: If Joey Biden did that.
59:15.683 --> 59:16.425
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god.
59:16.645 --> 59:17.466
[SPEAKER_04]: He'd still be present.
59:17.787 --> 59:18.428
[SPEAKER_02]: He would have won.
59:19.029 --> 59:21.914
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he would have shitted himself in it, but he would have won.
59:21.974 --> 59:29.867
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine if this is like the one episode that bandits is like, all right, let me check these guys out.
59:29.907 --> 59:31.350
[SPEAKER_02]: See if I want to go on this pod.
59:31.811 --> 59:34.395
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh, that reminds me.
59:34.375 --> 59:37.420
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you like, you you message him or something.
59:37.440 --> 59:44.311
[SPEAKER_04]: I commented on something and he was trying to get the one and only Brian Michael Bendis on the podcast.
59:44.892 --> 59:45.693
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a busy man.
59:45.773 --> 59:46.134
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure.
59:46.174 --> 59:48.958
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not expecting busy Michael Bendis.
59:48.999 --> 59:49.840
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they call him.
59:50.261 --> 59:53.025
[SPEAKER_02]: That that's what the B stands for in B and B.
59:53.427 --> 59:58.234
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I'm not expecting to actually get anything accomplished here.
59:58.314 --> 01:00:02.900
[SPEAKER_02]: But he did like my comment that said, uh, always welcome on our pod.
01:00:03.862 --> 01:00:07.427
[SPEAKER_02]: So what if he checked us out right now and it was like, what are these boys up to?
01:00:07.567 --> 01:00:14.617
[SPEAKER_02]: And he just hears the most unhinged political things where he can't tell which ones are, uh, our jokes.
01:00:15.778 --> 01:00:18.422
[SPEAKER_04]: They're
all jokes.
01:00:18.402 --> 01:00:19.123
[SPEAKER_04]: all of them.
01:00:19.603 --> 01:00:19.983
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
01:00:20.003 --> 01:00:20.844
[SPEAKER_04]: Now we cleared it up.
01:00:22.085 --> 01:00:26.069
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, at least he knows that the pot exists now.
01:00:26.630 --> 01:00:27.490
[SPEAKER_04]: It puts it out there.
01:00:28.331 --> 01:00:29.152
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought about this.
01:00:29.272 --> 01:00:33.576
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought how the algorithm will keep setting him more and more things about it.
01:00:33.976 --> 01:00:34.537
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
01:00:34.777 --> 01:00:35.037
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:00:35.598 --> 01:00:36.519
[SPEAKER_02]: What did you think about this?
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:45.287
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, if he hasn't come on this whole time because he just doesn't for whatever reason feel like talking anymore about ultimate spider-man.
01:00:45.571 --> 01:00:54.624
[SPEAKER_02]: How funny of a bit would it be if I started inviting him on the pod about Ultimate Spider-Man for an interview where we talk about everything but Ultimate Spider-Man?
01:00:55.185 --> 01:01:03.878
[SPEAKER_04]: We should talk about like the Pacers next rivalry with Brian Michael Bendis.
01:01:03.898 --> 01:01:04.379
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything.
01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:06.802
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything that he wants to talk about just now.
01:01:06.822 --> 01:01:07.984
[SPEAKER_02]: Ultimate Spider-Man.
01:01:08.791 --> 01:01:10.273
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Ultimate Spider-Man.
01:01:10.293 --> 01:01:13.296
[SPEAKER_02]: If he wants to talk about that, those are the two choices.
01:01:13.637 --> 01:01:14.257
[SPEAKER_04]: He wants to.
01:01:14.378 --> 01:01:17.481
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk not Ultimate Spider-Man or we'll talk Ultimate Spider-Man.
01:01:17.521 --> 01:01:19.303
[SPEAKER_02]: He let us know bandits just right back.
01:01:19.904 --> 01:01:21.066
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
01:01:21.086 --> 01:01:21.806
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we'll get him.
01:01:22.808 --> 01:01:26.812
[SPEAKER_04]: Give us a couple more years, couple more Instagram posts.
01:01:26.832 --> 01:01:27.293
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get him.
01:01:27.954 --> 01:01:29.215
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:01:29.235 --> 01:01:29.716
[SPEAKER_02]: High Percy.
01:01:30.417 --> 01:01:30.737
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:01:31.538 --> 01:01:32.519
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to get back into this.
01:01:32.579 --> 01:01:33.500
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, Percy's here.
01:01:34.582 --> 01:01:36.604
[SPEAKER_04]: He's being very cinematic.
01:01:37.310 --> 01:01:38.378
[SPEAKER_04]: Persever.
01:01:38.418 --> 01:01:38.962
[SPEAKER_04]: We call him.
01:01:41.340 --> 01:01:42.831
[SPEAKER_02]: President Captain Percy.
01:01:43.975 --> 01:01:55.068
[SPEAKER_02]: At one point when Cap is so he just takes the oath of office, then he runs off stage and he says America is my White House.
01:01:55.389 --> 01:02:01.997
[SPEAKER_02]: That is some, yeah, he gets in a fighter jet and he starts to like wave, but
he's got his shield in his hand.
01:02:02.357 --> 01:02:08.785
[SPEAKER_02]: And at first I thought he had like a giant baseball glove on and I thought what would be the more American.
01:02:08.765 --> 01:02:19.537
[SPEAKER_02]: then President Captain America running off stage, getting in a fire jet, catching a base hall and then flying to like the Frank's hot-tock eating contest.
01:02:19.557 --> 01:02:20.178
[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome.
01:02:20.978 --> 01:02:36.055
[SPEAKER_04]: Scarf and down some dogs, Zach, I still get a dream sometimes, like if I ever go somewhere where there's like a stupidest thing ever, I'm not to say.
01:02:37.216 --> 01:02:45.188
[SPEAKER_04]: If I ever go somewhere with theoretically, I could possibly somehow run into Peyton Manning.
01:02:45.208 --> 01:02:52.980
[SPEAKER_04]: I will sometimes still get a dream about catching a pass from Peyton Manning.
01:02:53.842 --> 01:02:57.367
[SPEAKER_04]: Just like, you know, like, hey, you can go out.
01:02:57.387 --> 01:03:00.091
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god, thanks Mr.
01:03:00.111 --> 01:03:00.692
[SPEAKER_04]: Rating.
01:03:02.309 --> 01:03:03.291
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I feel bad.
01:03:03.351 --> 01:03:04.653
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll never go away.
01:03:04.673 --> 01:03:11.926
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that is a truth inside of every man and it's just which ones of us will own up to it.
01:03:12.227 --> 01:03:12.788
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
01:03:12.808 --> 01:03:17.817
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm pretty sure if my dad ever saw Larry Bird.
01:03:17.857 --> 01:03:19.961
[SPEAKER_02]: He'd be like Mr. Bird.
01:03:20.962 --> 01:03:26.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't want to bother you, but it'd be like an honor if I could make a layup on you right now.
01:03:26.491 --> 01:03:32.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm, if I can make a laugh out there, then I break your ankles really quickly.
01:03:32.815 --> 01:03:33.678
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for your word.
01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:37.834
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, dude, stand here while my friend takes a picture, me jumping over you.
01:03:38.067 --> 01:04:02.539
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I met Larry Bird one time and I asked him for an autograph and I happened to be wearing a Reggie Miller jersey because I was a kid and I'd always wear my Pacer's stuff and he said, do you have a piece of paper and I said no and I didn't get Larry Bird's autographs but what a dick
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:08.008
[SPEAKER_02]: But my dad, I don't know if I've said this on the podcast before, but it's, I like it.
01:04:08.048 --> 01:04:09.611
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a fun little anecdote about him.
01:04:10.432 --> 01:04:13.437
[SPEAKER_02]: He was the biggest Steve Allford fan.
01:04:14.259 --> 01:04:15.962
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Steve Allford was a place.
01:04:16.543 --> 01:04:21.511
[SPEAKER_02]: Right at the time that my dad cared the most about IU basketball and it was like the most important thing to him in the world.
01:04:21.571 --> 01:04:26.940
[SPEAKER_02]: And he'll talk about how he saw Steve Allford play
in the state championship.
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:28.763
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, before he went to I.
01:04:28.783 --> 01:04:29.223
[SPEAKER_02]: You win.
01:04:29.364 --> 01:04:34.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh, I'm pretty sure that like my mom has told me that exact same like thing.
01:04:34.651 --> 01:04:36.414
[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently everyone they were all Steve.
01:04:36.794 --> 01:04:37.235
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course.
01:04:37.395 --> 01:04:37.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:04:37.756 --> 01:04:38.236
[SPEAKER_02]: That game.
01:04:38.276 --> 01:04:38.557
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:04:39.338 --> 01:04:42.182
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and high school Indiana basketball.
01:04:42.763 --> 01:04:43.103
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
01:04:43.183 --> 01:04:43.844
[SPEAKER_02]: There to do.
01:04:44.365 --> 01:04:45.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, and 49 other states.
01:04:45.867 --> 01:04:46.708
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just basketball.
01:04:46.728 --> 01:04:46.889
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:04:47.890 --> 01:04:54.039
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, my dad has met Steve all for probably no less than four times in his life.
01:04:54.319 --> 01:04:56.843
[SPEAKER_02]: Just bump into him when you're in Indiana.
01:04:57.987 --> 01:05:05.965
[SPEAKER_02]: And every single time my dad tries to talk to him, he'll be like, hey Steve, big fan, or you know, like one of Shake is hand or something.
01:05:06.827 --> 01:05:14.123
[SPEAKER_02]: And every single time in like progressively funnier and meaner ways, see Valford has blown him off.
01:05:14.997 --> 01:05:19.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he'll like try to open a door for him and be like, hey Steve, how you doing?
01:05:19.282 --> 01:05:21.004
[SPEAKER_02]: And he'll just like be like fuck you.
01:05:22.086 --> 01:05:23.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, he's out for me.
01:05:23.287 --> 01:05:24.188
[SPEAKER_02]: He eats my dad.
01:05:26.030 --> 01:05:26.731
[SPEAKER_02]: He must be slow.
01:05:27.572 --> 01:05:31.217
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really funny when we see my second randomly see him out in public.
01:05:32.578 --> 01:05:34.981
[SPEAKER_04]: That many times like holding a door.
01:05:35.122 --> 01:05:36.263
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey Steve, it's me again.
01:05:36.683 --> 01:05:40.448
[SPEAKER_02]: It's this guy that's following me.
01:05:40.816 --> 01:05:42.919
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, apparently this is the weird part.
01:05:43.099 --> 01:05:47.805
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, yeah, I saw him in his dad eating in a Jimmy John's one time.
01:05:48.226 --> 01:05:49.587
[SPEAKER_02]: So I go over and say hi.
01:05:49.627 --> 01:05:52.892
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, how do you know what Steve Alfred's dad looks like?
01:05:52.912 --> 01:05:54.694
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, everyone knows what his dad looks like.
01:05:54.734 --> 01:05:55.755
[SPEAKER_02]: He was at all the games.
01:05:56.176 --> 01:05:59.060
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, okay, now you sound like a stalker.
01:05:59.420 --> 01:06:04.867
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that kind of reminds me of the woman that has cut my hair the last two times.
01:06:06.149 --> 01:06:07.430
[SPEAKER_04]: She all of your hairs.
01:06:08.412 --> 01:06:09.293
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
01:06:09.373 --> 01:06:09.473
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:06:09.554 --> 01:06:24.733
[SPEAKER_04]: She has, she grew up in like Gary, Indiana and you know, we were talking about like the Jackson Five and she was a kid when like they were just a little bit older than she was.
01:06:24.793 --> 01:06:34.706
[SPEAKER_04]: And her and her friend would like go around to all the different like high school talent shows because they were like talent shows and the Jackson Five would like enter.
01:06:34.806 --> 01:06:37.249
[SPEAKER_04]: So she saw the Jackson Five.
01:06:37.229 --> 01:06:57.533
[SPEAKER_04]: a million times just as they were like entering these talent shows in gary indiana and like obviously well before they were like national news and then she said like they went on some show and became like huge and and blah, blah, blah, she was like yeah I was always gonna marry Michael and my best friend was always gonna marry germane and
01:06:57.513 --> 01:07:13.723
[SPEAKER_04]: I just think that's like so cool to you can say, wow, I saw the Jackson 5 way before anyone else possibly, you know, could have that is insanely cool and like if she even paid for those, it was like probably not even a bum.
01:07:13.743 --> 01:07:14.124
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing.
01:07:14.164 --> 01:07:14.965
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:07:15.526 --> 01:07:16.548
[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome.
01:07:16.568 --> 01:07:17.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:07:17.510 --> 01:07:19.192
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, let's get back into this.
01:07:19.212 --> 01:07:21.414
[SPEAKER_04]: So Captain America, he does his right.
01:07:21.455 --> 01:07:22.776
[SPEAKER_04]: He throws a baseball.
01:07:22.816 --> 01:07:23.677
[SPEAKER_04]: He gets on his plane.
01:07:23.717 --> 01:07:24.518
[SPEAKER_04]: He drives away.
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:28.543
[SPEAKER_04]: And Carol Danier Danvers is like, where is he?
01:07:28.603 --> 01:07:30.024
[SPEAKER_04]: He's supposed to be here by now.
01:07:30.565 --> 01:07:33.488
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, she's like Captain America can't just fly off.
01:07:33.689 --> 01:07:34.650
[SPEAKER_04]: He's the president now.
01:07:34.710 --> 01:07:36.031
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got responsibilities.
01:07:36.472 --> 01:07:37.173
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I mean.
01:07:37.673 --> 01:07:41.998
[SPEAKER_04]: Captain America is not going to like being president of the United States.
01:07:41.978 --> 01:07:42.739
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think.
01:07:43.381 --> 01:07:50.194
[SPEAKER_04]: And to his credit, and he makes a good decision right away here, he's like, he hops on the phone with Carol.
01:07:51.095 --> 01:07:54.422
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, Carol, you're basically present now.
01:07:54.662 --> 01:07:55.764
[SPEAKER_04]: Just make decisions.
01:07:55.904 --> 01:07:59.732
[SPEAKER_04]: Whenever I'm out doing stuff, you can make whatever decision you want.
01:07:59.752 -->
01:08:02.637
[SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, that's not what a chief of staff does.
01:08:02.617 --> 01:08:06.383
[SPEAKER_04]: Besides blah, blah, blah, and he's like, okay, well, I'm a little busy right now.
01:08:06.423 --> 01:08:13.133
[SPEAKER_04]: So I got to go and we see Captain America is already fighting another group of people with the ultimates.
01:08:14.295 --> 01:08:20.485
[SPEAKER_04]: And this time, you know, I guess there's some border war going on between North and South Carolina, which is this new.
01:08:20.565 --> 01:08:21.667
[SPEAKER_04]: Had we heard about this yet?
01:08:22.768 --> 01:08:25.232
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I just don't think we cared until now.
01:08:25.465 --> 01:08:41.556
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, now there's more wasps here that they're fighting, so we saw wasps on the Arizona California border, and now this is on the North and South Carolina border, for any geography nerds, those are on opposite ends of the country.
01:08:42.598 --> 01:08:46.225
[SPEAKER_04]: So I guess the wasps aren't just a silicone valley thing.
01:08:46.390 --> 01:08:51.156
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we find out that Tony and Thor were up all night.
01:08:51.417 --> 01:08:53.359
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's cute, that Thor was helping.
01:08:53.980 --> 01:08:58.025
[SPEAKER_02]: They were up all night like reprogramming the Wasps.
01:08:58.226 --> 01:09:00.489
[SPEAKER_02]: So now Tony can control them.
01:09:01.630 --> 01:09:03.653
[SPEAKER_02]: The Wasps are on our side now.
01:09:03.773 --> 01:09:05.615
[SPEAKER_02]: The Wasps are the good guys now, yeah.
01:09:06.316 --> 01:09:06.757
[SPEAKER_04]: I love it.
01:09:07.818 --> 01:09:11.503
[SPEAKER_04]: I love using my enemies stuff against them.
01:09:11.838 --> 01:09:13.060
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we did.
01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:14.942
[SPEAKER_02]: And we project paperclip the Wasps.
01:09:16.825 --> 01:09:19.168
[SPEAKER_04]: Boy, I heard about this pretty fun.
01:09:19.188 --> 01:09:25.317
[SPEAKER_04]: I heard about this pretty fun, uh, little operation that some police people did.
01:09:25.337 --> 01:09:33.247
[SPEAKER_04]: If you'd like me to do a quick one minute tangent, so everyone can learn about something called Operation Flagship.
01:09:33.728 --> 01:09:33.968
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
01:09:34.449 --> 01:09:35.871
[SPEAKER_04]: Go the cabin to go quickly.
01:09:35.851 --> 01:09:43.521
[SPEAKER_04]: You got, it's an audio media, so you couldn't see Zach, who's not thrilled about that?
01:09:43.541 --> 01:09:44.102
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I am.
01:09:44.162 --> 01:09:46.104
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to know when Operation Flagship is.
01:09:46.745 --> 01:09:47.066
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:09:47.947 --> 01:10:00.323
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so this, these police in Washington, like the DC area, they sent a letter to like 3,000 criminals at their last known address, and they were like,
01:10:00.877 --> 01:10:04.402
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, you've won tickets to a Washington Commanders.
01:10:04.442 --> 01:10:05.824
[SPEAKER_04]: This is back in like 85.
01:10:05.904 --> 01:10:08.448
[SPEAKER_04]: So you know, Washington Redskins football game.
01:10:08.488 --> 01:10:11.252
[SPEAKER_04]: And you get to have a brunch before the game.
01:10:11.372 --> 01:10:16.199
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, you might even win a season ticket prize in blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:10:17.121 --> 01:10:22.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And they just got all these criminals to show up for this like Washington Commanders brunch.
01:10:23.150 --> 01:10:25.333
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they locked the door and arrested all of them.
01:10:25.994 --> 01:10:26.935
[SPEAKER_04]: Dick move.
01:10:26.999 --> 01:10:29.442
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
01:10:29.563 --> 01:10:31.125
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like really torn on it.
01:10:32.106 --> 01:10:32.667
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not.
01:10:32.887 --> 01:10:38.735
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, that's that's like a backhanded way to if you're a cop and that's how you get your quote.
01:10:38.836 --> 01:10:48.309
[SPEAKER_04]: You can go to hell, but isn't that these guys have avoided the law and they were like some bad criminals, you know, it wasn't just like petty stuff.
01:10:48.369 --> 01:10:50.492
[SPEAKER_04]: It sounded like it was it was bigger stuff.
01:10:50.827 --> 01:11:06.355
[SPEAKER_04]: right well all uh it is it is a little sneaky you're like oh come on that's kind of sneaky but then at the same time it's like well they are trying to arrest criminals so yeah I don't know how cool the crime was kind of
01:11:06.335 --> 01:11:09.099
[SPEAKER_02]: changes by a opinion of criminals.
01:11:09.320 --> 01:11:09.600
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
01:11:10.882 --> 01:11:11.023
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
01:11:11.043 --> 01:11:13.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you're telling me this is how they got Bat Rock the Leaper.
01:11:14.108 --> 01:11:15.350
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna be mad, right?
01:11:15.710 --> 01:11:16.912
[SPEAKER_02]: Free my my my my guy.
01:11:17.553 --> 01:11:19.737
[SPEAKER_02]: But if I don't think that these were cool.
01:11:21.059 --> 01:11:21.459
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:11:21.940 --> 01:11:23.382
[SPEAKER_04]: I think these are bad crimes.
01:11:23.843 --> 01:11:24.344
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
01:11:24.364 --> 01:11:25.626
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, as long as they're bad ones.
01:11:25.606 --> 01:11:26.388
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:11:26.408 --> 01:11:26.708
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:11:27.089 --> 01:11:36.307
[SPEAKER_04]: So Captain America Thor and Iron Man are three faves are helping stop this border war between North and South Carolina.
01:11:36.367 --> 01:11:47.428
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't really know which side we're on or why we're fighting usually is right in the past historically that has been the case.
01:11:48.539 --> 01:12:07.568
[SPEAKER_04]: And here's what I do know, Captain American Thor and Iron Man dragged these two schlubby leaders from North and South Carolina and they grab them by their lapels and they say, shake and make up and they make them shake and they say, this war is over.
01:12:07.628 --> 01:12:13.056
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you guys don't remember that, I'll send my friends back down here to remind you.
01:12:14.398 --> 01:12:17.803
[SPEAKER_04]: We finally got a present who's actually doing something.
01:12:18.003 --> 01:12:25.181
[SPEAKER_04]: Would this work, if Trump came down to like, do we even have states that fight with each other?
01:12:25.201 --> 01:12:28.288
[SPEAKER_04]: What do people fight about these days?
01:12:28.308 --> 01:12:28.990
[SPEAKER_02]: Fight with him.
01:12:30.052 --> 01:12:31.135
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let's true.
01:12:31.672 --> 01:12:33.376
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I like this.
01:12:34.017 --> 01:12:39.931
[SPEAKER_04]: This reminds me of what I do to my cats sometimes when they're fighting with each other.
01:12:39.971 --> 01:12:43.058
[SPEAKER_04]: They're holding them like cats by this couple of their neck.
01:12:43.559 --> 01:12:43.960
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
01:12:45.122 --> 01:12:49.512
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, hey, we're friends here.
01:12:49.762 --> 01:12:53.587
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, man, this is very close to like homeland or territory for me.
01:12:53.827 --> 01:13:01.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I get that we're not supposed to question the morality of this, but like the president of the United States standing right there.
01:13:01.818 --> 01:13:06.785
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, his two enforcers pick up these like political dissidents by their collars.
01:13:07.286 --> 01:13:08.648
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like we're sent in a message.
01:13:09.288 --> 01:13:18.621
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I agree, you know, but doesn't it depend on what side is actually correct?
01:13:18.871 --> 01:13:24.984
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you know, we're only here because we're on reproach.
01:13:25.906 --> 01:13:27.349
[SPEAKER_04]: No, he's not beyond reproach.
01:13:27.409 --> 01:13:28.772
[SPEAKER_04]: They're currently right.
01:13:28.932 --> 01:13:30.535
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to keep the union together.
01:13:30.576 --> 01:13:35.967
[SPEAKER_04]: All these guys are fighting, you know, more as is sewing all this doubt.
01:13:36.007 --> 01:13:38.432
[SPEAKER_04]: He's causing all these schemes.
01:13:38.412 --> 01:13:50.946
[SPEAKER_04]: When Wendy Avengers go up into space and, you know, beat up on space aliens, we don't say that that all there, you know, they're in another country.
01:13:51.847 --> 01:13:52.527
[SPEAKER_04]: They broke it.
01:13:52.648 --> 01:13:54.309
[SPEAKER_04]: You've a convinced.
01:13:54.329 --> 01:14:04.100
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, these guys, if this was like Israel and Palestine, and they were going over there like, hey, be friends, you know, that'd be fine.
01:14:04.140 --> 01:14:06.883
[SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of what Superman was about, wasn't it?
01:14:06.948 --> 01:14:11.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I don't want to reduce the Palestine situation that far.
01:14:12.537 --> 01:14:15.822
[SPEAKER_02]: I get what you're saying of like, oh, what if a superhero went over there?
01:14:16.623
--> 01:14:22.012
[SPEAKER_04]: More accurately, isn't that kind of what the superman was sort of about Superman just goes over?
01:14:22.252 --> 01:14:25.137
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, we're not going to fight about this stuff anymore.
01:14:25.377 --> 01:14:26.259
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm Superman.
01:14:26.859 --> 01:14:34.812
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but that kind of implies that like there's equal culpability on the hands of the Palestinians, which I don't think Superman was doing.
01:14:35.197 --> 01:14:57.022
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, there's like these are just farmers fighting to keep their land and you're releasing guns on them like that's not fair And we don't really know what's going on in this North and South Carolina thing, but the fact that he has both Leaders makes me think they both just wanted to take over the other they weren't really There wasn't a good side in a bad side.
01:14:57.402 --> 01:15:02.588
[SPEAKER_02]: They were both being bad I think it's just a bunch of warlords pretty much
01:15:03.412 --> 01:15:04.473
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:15:04.493 --> 01:15:09.619
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so CAPS says that's one down, so, you know, this is where we kind of mentioned.
01:15:09.659 --> 01:15:12.543
[SPEAKER_04]: It just seems like there's just one thing to go to to the next.
01:15:13.664 --> 01:15:18.610
[SPEAKER_04]: And Thor says, CAPS and I have grave concerns about these development.
01:15:18.630 --> 01:15:23.856
[SPEAKER_04]: Striped Chaos Discord all seemingly unconnected, yet somehow coordinated.
01:15:23.876 --> 01:15:27.701
[SPEAKER_04]: I've seen this before in Texas on a gold bar.
01:15:27.781 --> 01:15:29.483
[SPEAKER_04]: I recognize an old room.
01:15:29.523 --> 01:15:32.406
[SPEAKER_04]: Thousands of years old as Guardian.
01:15:32.386 --> 01:15:42.984
[SPEAKER_04]: And Captain America is like, oh my thought she said all the Asgardians were dead, and Thor says There's one Asgardian in particular who has returned from certain death.
01:15:43.224 --> 01:15:47.852
[SPEAKER_04]: You could say he is known for it Is that I got a little titillated at this?
01:15:48.834 --> 01:15:50.036
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, I'm a horse here now.
01:15:50.477 --> 01:15:51.238
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh hi, oh me
01:15:51.860 --> 01:15:55.132
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, homie, she's exactly where Percy was earlier.
01:15:55.152 --> 01:15:56.376
[SPEAKER_04]: I see that.
01:15:57.038 --> 01:16:04.384
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, if you remember weeks ago we said that it seemed like more as was doing Loki things.
01:16:04.718 --> 01:16:08.583
[SPEAKER_04]: I would be pretty proud of myself if he ended up being Loki.
01:16:09.425 --> 01:16:12.509
[SPEAKER_04]: So in Thor said this, I was like, oh my gosh, is more as Loki?
01:16:13.010 --> 01:16:14.011
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, maybe he is.
01:16:15.053 --> 01:16:18.077
[SPEAKER_04]: Zack did kind of when I said he's doing Loki things.
01:16:18.357 --> 01:16:23.104
[SPEAKER_04]: You were like, oh, interesting, you say he's doing Loki things, so who knows?
01:16:23.164 --> 01:16:23.384
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:16:24.185 --> 01:16:34.540
[SPEAKER_04]: You definitely clued in on something early on.
01:16:34.621 --> 01:16:37.284
[SPEAKER_04]: But there are terrible weapons that risk in Wyoming.
01:16:37.485 --> 01:16:39.908
[SPEAKER_04]: I need you there first, then we deal with this.
01:16:40.108 --> 01:16:43.792
[SPEAKER_04]: In the meantime, I've got another problem to tackle.
01:16:44.834 --> 01:16:48.018
[SPEAKER_04]: And so Wyoming is where project Pegasus is.
01:16:48.058 --> 01:16:54.025
[SPEAKER_04]: So he's saying, Thor, we need you to go, we need you to go to Wyoming to project Pegasus and defend these weapons.
01:16:54.546 --> 01:16:57.249
[SPEAKER_04]: How do they know things are getting attacked at project Pegasus?
01:16:57.610 --> 01:16:58.651
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just already started.
01:16:58.731 --> 01:17:00.774
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably the attack is already in the end.
01:17:01.575 --> 01:17:01.995
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
01:17:02.633 --> 01:17:05.840
[SPEAKER_04]: And luckily for Thor, he wants to go check out this guy.
01:17:05.860 --> 01:17:08.586
[SPEAKER_04]: He wants to go look for the Asgardian thing.
01:17:08.626 --> 01:17:12.173
[SPEAKER_04]: And we know more as is at Project Pegasus, right?
01:17:12.273 --> 01:17:13.055
[SPEAKER_04]: That's his idea.
01:17:13.857 --> 01:17:14.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:17:14.879 --> 01:17:16.362
[SPEAKER_04]: Our storylines are about to meet up.
01:17:17.084 --> 01:17:21.553
[SPEAKER_04]: So Captain America, he calls Senator Underwood.
01:17:22.816 --> 01:17:37.776
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, Senator underwoods like red tape, you don't have the authority to do this and he's like, my job is to bring America together and Senator underwood tells him, you know, I really need you to stay out of these.
01:17:37.956 --> 01:17:39.738
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't just be John Wayne.
01:17:40.579 --> 01:17:42.722
[SPEAKER_04]: These things take time and patience.
01:17:43.764 --> 01:17:46.427
[SPEAKER_04]: And basically, Captain, I haven't any of it.
01:17:46.527 --> 01:17:48.209
[SPEAKER_04]: He just flies into another war zone.
01:17:48.229 --> 01:17:49.531
[SPEAKER_04]: He starts shooting his plane.
01:17:49.651 --> 01:17:50.933
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what he does.
01:17:51.487 --> 01:17:53.730
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, blasting born in the USA.
01:17:53.770 --> 01:17:56.575
[SPEAKER_04]: So where is he now?
01:17:56.615 --> 01:17:58.097
[SPEAKER_04]: Now he's in Detroit, Michigan.
01:17:58.297 --> 01:18:03.285
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, because now he's got to take out this Fidel Castro Detroit guy, right?
01:18:03.826 --> 01:18:04.046
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
01:18:04.948 --> 01:18:07.892
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm stressed as one place to the next round.
01:18:07.872 --> 01:18:17.925
[SPEAKER_02]: This actually is Detroit, and I can recognize this exact intersection, because I've parked in that parking garage, overlapped.
01:18:17.945 --> 01:18:18.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Really?
01:18:18.345 --> 01:18:23.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's like a five-way intersection right there with a little park in the middle.
01:18:23.953 --> 01:18:25.154
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, very cool.
01:18:26.115 --> 01:18:29.600
[SPEAKER_04]: And look, it's all getting blown to hell by Captain America.
01:18:29.620 --> 01:18:31.382
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, there goes my car.
01:18:32.442 --> 01:18:54.060
[SPEAKER_04]: just imagine born from the yesterday of the layering out of a jet as it just raged all the way down to the city that's some team of america comedy right there I'm trying to stop my car the key won't continue tonight on the night and bring the u.s.a.s.
01:18:54.100 --> 01:18:55.142
[SPEAKER_02]: getting louder
01:18:55.122 --> 01:19:05.552
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you, can you imagine the payout if the fucking president of the United States bombed your car on the West Oil?
01:19:06.713 --> 01:19:10.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Like sometimes I pray I get hit by a city bus because I know I'll get six figures.
01:19:11.158 --> 01:19:23.830
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the president dropped a bomb on my car would do generational numbers.
01:19:24.248 --> 01:19:30.722
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, now the scene is another layer of humor that it's not just count to the American classic board of the USA.
01:19:31.103 --> 01:19:33.889
[SPEAKER_04]: He's also the sitting president of the United States.
01:19:34.571 --> 01:19:34.911
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
01:19:35.593 --> 01:19:40.002
[SPEAKER_02]: He still might not be the president to have done the most harm to Detroit.
01:19:40.103 --> 01:19:42.027
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:19:42.047 --> 01:19:43.911
[SPEAKER_04]: That's still Reagan.
01:19:44.363 --> 01:19:58.407
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know anything it now is this war on drug stuff now that you know life awful things you know it's that crack rock You introduced Nope, okay, so president cap
01:19:58.910 --> 01:20:00.271
[SPEAKER_04]: he's landing into Detroit.
01:20:00.411 --> 01:20:14.625
[SPEAKER_04]: He says I'm landing in your camp with or without permission and he just like strolls out of his little jet and he kind of just walks up to the to the enemy people and he's like drop your weapons.
01:20:14.725 --> 01:20:15.606
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm your president.
01:20:15.866 --> 01:20:19.350
[SPEAKER_04]: This is a very interesting situation that these people would be in.
01:20:19.370 --> 01:20:27.718
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean he's taking a lot of risk just walking up to them but I guess nobody wants to be the
01:20:27.698 --> 01:20:30.624
[SPEAKER_04]: Historically not true, but we'll we'll allow it.
01:20:35.014 --> 01:20:36.116
[SPEAKER_04]: Cap just looks at him.
01:20:36.657 --> 01:20:40.005
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, I want my bird gased up in a ready in 20 minutes.
01:20:40.085 --> 01:20:41.488
[SPEAKER_04]: This isn't going to take long.
01:20:41.528 --> 01:20:47.040
[SPEAKER_04]: And the next scene we see on the news.
01:20:47.020 --> 01:21:05.201
[SPEAKER_04]: He said, as soon as words spread, crowds of people descend upon Detroit, desperate to catch a glimpse of their new president as he strides into the heart of what has been an active war zone, President Cap dragged out David Seeger, the dictator of Detroit who has plunged the heartland into chaos.
01:21:05.962 --> 01:21:11.308
[SPEAKER_04]: Cap barely managed to turn him over to shield forces before being mobbed by adoring multitudes.
01:21:11.989 --> 01:21:13.551
[SPEAKER_04]: We finally got a good one.
01:21:14.324 --> 01:21:19.879
[SPEAKER_04]: This is just some John Wayne, that's some John Wayne justice right here.
01:21:20.095 --> 01:21:26.463
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think this is what like the internal videos in North Korea say about Kim Jong-il?
01:21:27.244 --> 01:21:36.897
[SPEAKER_04]: Definitely, as you started that sentence, I was actually thinking, I want AI to make Trump like videos I'm doing stuff like this.
01:21:37.578 --> 01:21:41.884
[SPEAKER_04]: Dear leader, just just strolling in his Captain America outfit.
01:21:42.665 --> 01:21:45.889
[SPEAKER_02]: I really pay money to see Donald Trump and a Captain America outfit.
01:21:46.590 --> 01:21:49.714
[SPEAKER_02]: It has to be like realistically tight though.
01:21:51.955 --> 01:22:00.919
[SPEAKER_04]: and uh, so cap saved Detroit and under Senator Underwood is watching on TV and he's not happy.
01:22:02.249 --> 01:22:06.655
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, yes, yes, I'm watching more as, no, I completely agree.
01:22:06.695 --> 01:22:09.680
[SPEAKER_04]: He's too reckless and Wyoming is too valuable.
01:22:09.700 --> 01:22:13.946
[SPEAKER_04]: I gave him a talk, but he doesn't appreciate subtlety.
01:22:14.026 --> 01:22:14.947
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's talking about the talk.
01:22:14.967 --> 01:22:18.633
[SPEAKER_04]: He gave the Captain America to just kind of like stay out of politics.
01:22:19.574 --> 01:22:21.457
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just like what people tell us all of the time.
01:22:21.497 --> 01:22:25.202
[SPEAKER_04]: And just like cap, we're not going to do it.
01:22:26.768 --> 01:22:33.306
[SPEAKER_02]: When the whole rest of the world tells you to lay down, you stand like a tree exactly.
01:22:33.326 --> 01:22:41.790
[SPEAKER_04]: I say, no, I will talk about politics and send her under it once says, don't worry more as.
01:22:41.770 --> 01:22:43.534
[SPEAKER_04]: we'll try something less subtle.
01:22:44.335 --> 01:22:59.728
[SPEAKER_04]: So we cut to Thor in Wyoming at Project Pegasus, and he's like, oh my gosh, he's gone back to Cap, and he says Captain, there are legions of people preparing invasions for Project Wyoming, and we can see
01:23:00.974 --> 01:23:25.952
[SPEAKER_04]: a bunch of army tanks and whatnot and I guess maybe they're preparing to invade I had just thought maybe that was like defense but maybe this is offense they want to take project Pegasus but anyway we don't have much time to think about it because Thor is immediately struck down by like an Asgardian magic room
and I'm guessing when he got too close it was going to like shock him or something
01:23:25.932 --> 01:23:28.355
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says captain that ruin I was right.
01:23:28.375 --> 01:23:32.159
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how but there's a nice guardian I work here.
01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:33.280
[SPEAKER_04]: I must find them.
01:23:33.480 --> 01:23:34.662
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm no longer alone.
01:23:34.722 --> 01:23:41.750
[SPEAKER_04]: And Cap says negative Thor because he wants Thor to stay and keep keep working on project Pegasist.
01:23:42.370 --> 01:23:46.635
[SPEAKER_04]: And as that's happening, Cap calls Commander Flum.
01:23:46.995 --> 01:23:47.636
[SPEAKER_04]: We remember him.
01:23:47.676 --> 01:23:48.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:23:48.967 --> 01:23:53.916
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's the shield dictator who's somehow even worse out of his job than Nick Fury.
01:23:54.437 --> 01:23:59.205
[SPEAKER_04]: But he's like a bad guy who's bad at his job, whereas Nick Fury is a good guy who's bad at his job.
01:23:59.946 --> 01:24:00.327
[SPEAKER_04]: Correct.
01:24:01.008 --> 01:24:01.248
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
01:24:01.829 --> 01:24:04.033
[SPEAKER_04]: And Flom and Captain America have a call.
01:24:05.075 --> 01:24:09.102
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm just going to summarize this call from what I got out of it.
01:24:09.082 --> 01:24:18.853
[SPEAKER_04]: It seems to me they're doing, just the classic thing that people are doing the Captain America where they're like, you know, don't, don't do this and he's like, I'm going to do it.
01:24:19.694 --> 01:24:30.888
[SPEAKER_04]: And flum ends up tracking his, his, how his bird and he shoots a missile at it and tries to assassinate Captain America.
01:24:31.148 --> 01:24:31.869
[SPEAKER_04]: Did I get that?
01:24:32.790 --> 01:24:33.030
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
01:24:34.242 --> 01:24:35.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Did I miss anything?
01:24:35.304 --> 01:24:36.465
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
01:24:37.166 --> 01:24:40.531
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and I think he also like incriminated himself that he was working with Underwood.
01:24:41.432 --> 01:24:41.753
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:24:42.654 --> 01:24:46.500
[SPEAKER_04]: And so, yes, this is Underwood, that's really like sending this myth.
01:24:46.520 --> 01:25:00.560
[SPEAKER_04]: This is a plan of more as Underwood and Flum to take out Captain America and because Captain America's in what government jets, so they try and send a missile after it and they're like, oh, it blew up.
01:25:00.780 --> 01:25:02.022
[SPEAKER_04]: We killed him.
01:25:02.221 --> 01:25:09.571
[SPEAKER_04]: and then flum says delete record and it says deleted so they deleted that conversation that they had in the record of him sending the missile.
01:25:10.392 --> 01:25:18.463
[SPEAKER_04]: And just then Black Widow jumps in and says commander flum, you're under arrest for the attempted assassination of the president of the United States.
01:25:19.244 --> 01:25:21.106
[SPEAKER_04]: And she kind of grows from her.
01:25:21.307 --> 01:25:22.568
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so this is Wasp.
01:25:22.668 --> 01:25:27.655
[SPEAKER_04]: Is this Black Widow or
01:25:28.158 --> 01:25:48.968
[SPEAKER_04]: to get small and then so she was spying on him and uh... captain america blast in and another jet and he says that jet wasn't a re it wasn't actually the jet i was in i can't believe you try to kill me and he punches him and he says you're fired so presumably nick fury will be back in charge now
01:25:49.420 --> 01:26:00.747
[SPEAKER_02]: man this issue would have been so much better if Donald Trump was Captain America and he gets to say you're fired definitely.
01:26:01.300 --> 01:26:04.624
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry, I'm just not that interested in the director flum stuff.
01:26:05.044 --> 01:26:07.327
[SPEAKER_04]: I've kind of forgotten about it, I thought we were over that.
01:26:07.647 --> 01:26:11.592
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he's a really bad villain because he hasn't actually done anything villainous.
01:26:11.632 --> 01:26:14.896
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, he's just always wheezing around and he's like, yes.
01:26:15.977 --> 01:26:22.785
[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's what I was thinking is we've, we just currently have a surplus of people like that in the story.
01:26:22.765 --> 01:26:33.905
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we have Howard, who is kind of a bad president, who is kind of wheezing and then we have underwood and we have more earth And now flum comes in and it's like, what's the difference between any of these guys anyways?
01:26:34.646 --> 01:26:36.950
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, maybe that's like the point, man.
01:26:37.772 --> 01:26:41.278
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's like the takeaway of the whole event.
01:26:41.959 --> 01:26:45.145
[SPEAKER_04]: You just blew my frickin' mind.
01:26:45.125 --> 01:26:46.166
[SPEAKER_04]: politicians are bad.
01:26:48.048 --> 01:26:50.751
[SPEAKER_02]: Except when they're being on people with their shields.
01:26:51.091 --> 01:26:52.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, except for Captain America.
01:26:52.473 --> 01:26:55.095
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone's right in Captain America in the next election.
01:26:55.476 --> 01:26:55.716
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
01:26:56.497 --> 01:26:59.820
[SPEAKER_04]: So somebody comes into Senator Underwood's room.
01:27:00.201 --> 01:27:01.923
[SPEAKER_04]: Boy, he's not going to be happy about this.
01:27:02.023 --> 01:27:06.467
[SPEAKER_04]: He thinks that these guys, he thinks there's assassination attempt has gone off without a hitch.
01:27:07.268 --> 01:27:09.490
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says you have a call from the president.
01:27:10.371 --> 01:27:11.993
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's a video call.
01:27:12.580 --> 01:27:18.070
[SPEAKER_04]: and captain in America is holding up director flum by the lapel like a cat.
01:27:18.831 --> 01:27:20.454
[SPEAKER_04]: I like that he doesn't steal.
01:27:22.959 --> 01:27:24.482
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, you shoot at me.
01:27:24.522 --> 01:27:25.704
[SPEAKER_04]: You better not miss.
01:27:26.405 -->
01:27:31.434
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got enough evidence to string up you and your partner here on high charges of high treason.
01:27:31.514 --> 01:27:33.458
[SPEAKER_04]: So here's how it's going to be.
01:27:33.438 --> 01:27:36.823
[SPEAKER_04]: Monica Chang the Black Widow is the new head of shield.
01:27:37.184 --> 01:27:46.738
[SPEAKER_04]: We're invading Wyoming and your Senate emergency powers committee is disbanded effective immediately and Senator Underwood is kind of yelling back.
01:27:46.758 --> 01:27:48.401
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, who do you think you are?
01:27:48.421 --> 01:27:50.584
[SPEAKER_04]: You're gonna be impeached by the morning.
01:27:50.604 --> 01:27:51.665
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not FDR.
01:27:51.746 --> 01:27:54.670
[SPEAKER_04]: You're a clown in a bag and a flag.
01:27:54.650 --> 01:28:04.353
[SPEAKER_04]: and he says disband us you don't have the power to disband us and we see Hawkeye behind Senator Underwood's smacking him with an arrow and he says he won't do it you will.
01:28:04.974 --> 01:28:08.603
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm Hawkeye your new special on-vite envoy to the president.
01:28:08.723 --> 01:28:10.347
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's get to work.
01:28:10.478 --> 01:28:14.305
[SPEAKER_04]: This isn't abuse of power, but it's good because they're the good guys.
01:28:14.345 --> 01:28:26.567
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of liked it better when they were just superheroes who could like act outside of the law more than like they are now the state acting as the governments.
01:28:27.188 --> 01:28:28.310
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that is much fun.
01:28:28.370 --> 01:28:30.394
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
01:28:30.374 --> 01:28:35.021
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is funny where they try to pick and choose when the law applies.
01:28:35.041 --> 01:28:37.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Captain America is like, there we go.
01:28:37.745 --> 01:28:39.728
[SPEAKER_02]: We got enough charges on you that it will stick.
01:28:39.748 --> 01:28:42.151
[SPEAKER_02]: We're like, dude, you're the president of the United States.
01:28:42.592 --> 01:28:44.695
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're just doing whatever the fuck you want.
01:28:46.077 --> 01:28:49.642
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you mean we got enough evidence for the charges to stick?
01:28:49.902 --> 01:28:52.806
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we all know the president can't just do whatever he wants.
01:28:55.731 --> 01:28:56.652
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually,
01:28:59.045 --> 01:29:04.981
[SPEAKER_02]: What is it, unify it, unify it executive theory, it's a real thing.
01:29:05.162 --> 01:29:07.388
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like the, anyways, look it up.
01:29:08.090 --> 01:29:10.978
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm guessing it just says that the president can do whatever he wants.
01:29:11.077 --> 01:29:16.945
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's actually a way faster way to explain it than what I was going to do, which was ramble.
01:29:17.826 --> 01:29:20.509
[SPEAKER_04]: So, we're back at Project Pegasus, we're in Wyoming.
01:29:21.571 --> 01:29:37.692
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder how many episodes we have as some point said, yeah, the president can't just do whatever he wants, probably a lot, probably people have heard that come out of five boys before.
01:29:37.672 --> 01:29:40.095
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright, we're back at Project Pegasus.
01:29:40.275 --> 01:29:43.299
[SPEAKER_04]: We're in Wyoming more as is there.
01:29:43.699 --> 01:29:46.583
[SPEAKER_04]: They've taken over this space pretty easily, man.
01:29:46.743 --> 01:29:49.226
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, there wasn't even a fight as far as we saw.
01:29:49.887 --> 01:29:53.831
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just strolling around the inside with someone who looks like Shane Gillis to me.
01:29:55.794 --> 01:29:58.197
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, is your hydro army assembled?
01:29:58.977 --> 01:30:06.126
[SPEAKER_04]: And the person he's with says, we're at 87% more as the remaining militias are on their way from outlying areas.
01:30:06.241 --> 01:30:26.798
[SPEAKER_04]: So Hydra really is just all of the like backwood militias, you know, yeah, yeah, they say we've got a unit in route and it's like, oh, there's Dave here he comes he says it will have to be enough I've obtained my prize from this installation my birthright a fearsome weapon to make us unstoppable
01:30:27.048 --> 01:30:42.660
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, March down the mountain range on split this country in half and he's getting some pretty pretty devilishly wicked smiles on his face and he's saying things like birthright and I got to be honest I'm like this is Loki
01:30:42.640 --> 01:31:00.885
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, nailed it, nailed it, even all those episodes ago, I said, this guy's doing Loki things and this is Loki, but I haven't said it yet, and the other guy says, Leave now, so maybe they didn't know that he was gonna go this crazy when he wanted to take over, but anyway.
01:31:00.865 --> 01:31:03.730
[SPEAKER_04]: Just then it seems like that other guy disappears.
01:31:04.531 --> 01:31:07.296
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually Zach I don't understand before we get into this.
01:31:07.316 --> 01:31:08.438
[SPEAKER_04]: Where did this guy go?
01:31:08.838 --> 01:31:10.661
[SPEAKER_02]: He's telling Shane Gillis to leave.
01:31:10.701 --> 01:31:12.785
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like the guy locked in it.
01:31:12.805 --> 01:31:14.087
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like well here it is.
01:31:14.107 --> 01:31:16.972
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the store room This is all the stuff and he's like awesome get out.
01:31:17.553 --> 01:31:18.174
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
01:31:18.294 --> 01:31:18.975
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay
01:31:18.955 --> 01:31:25.063
[SPEAKER_04]: And as Shane Gillis leaves, Loki maybe starts talking.
01:31:25.203 --> 01:31:26.625
[SPEAKER_04]: He says, we're all alone now.
01:31:26.705 --> 01:31:28.888
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just you and me, just family.
01:31:28.948 --> 01:31:37.158
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't suppose you brought your friends, the armored man who speaks with his malignancy, the red white and blue Patriot.
01:31:37.178 --> 01:31:38.219
[SPEAKER_04]: And
how do you fit in?
01:31:38.400 --> 01:31:42.685
[SPEAKER_04]: And Zach, I've got to tell you, I'm pretty certain that this is Loki at this point.
01:31:43.610 --> 01:31:44.672
[SPEAKER_04]: and he's talking to Thorin.
01:31:44.692 --> 01:31:50.744
[SPEAKER_04]: He says, a god without immortality, a son without family, a champion without a kingdom.
01:31:50.904 --> 01:31:52.367
[SPEAKER_04]: What if I could solve all of that?
01:31:52.487 --> 01:31:53.769
[SPEAKER_04]: Give you everything you lost.
01:31:53.910 --> 01:31:55.032
[SPEAKER_04]: All you have to do is help me.
01:31:55.593 --> 01:31:57.296
[SPEAKER_04]: You will help me one way or another.
01:31:57.436 --> 01:31:59.340
[SPEAKER_04]: It's in your blood.
01:31:59.320 --> 01:32:01.363
[SPEAKER_04]: And Thor says, I don't know how you did it.
01:32:01.483 --> 01:32:04.007
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how you escape death this time, brother.
01:32:04.108 --> 01:32:11.159
[SPEAKER_04]: But by our father, Loki, I'll and more as looks at him and says brother with a question mark.
01:32:11.860 --> 01:32:13.262
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe this isn't brother.
01:32:13.322 --> 01:32:18.190
[SPEAKER_04]: And all of a sudden, bright light, you kind of like exudes from himself.
01:32:18.170 --> 01:32:32.530
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, more as kind of changes into his as guardian form, he's got a bunch of, you know, fancy colors and, and, you know, he still looks kind of goofy, but he looks very fancy, we can say.
01:32:32.550 --> 01:32:33.291
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:32:34.452 --> 01:32:44.987
[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, I'm not your brother, I'm your son, I'm Modi, the last surviving as guardian, and I am your only god,
01:32:46.267 --> 01:32:48.016
[SPEAKER_04]: This is where his son was.
01:32:48.036 --> 01:32:49.866
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of forgot about his son.
01:32:49.886 --> 01:32:52.480
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm also a little bummed it's not Loki.
01:32:53.371 --> 01:32:53.932
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:32:54.452 --> 01:32:54.693
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:32:54.713 --> 01:32:58.277
[SPEAKER_02]: So every time the sun has come back up and you're like, why are we?
01:32:59.418 --> 01:33:00.339
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are we doing this?
01:33:00.760 --> 01:33:01.681
[SPEAKER_02]: Thor has a son.
01:33:01.741 --> 01:33:03.142
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you mean he was lacked?
01:33:03.223 --> 01:33:06.687
[SPEAKER_02]: He was because he was in the world tree, right?
01:33:07.187 --> 01:33:18.180
[SPEAKER_02]: He was locked away in there with the maker came and then in the very like last issue of the maker storyline, we saw him break through and you said he's too late.
01:33:18.160 --> 01:33:26.570
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's not really he was arriving precisely when he mutants to to be the villain of this arc And he has the hammer.
01:33:27.511 --> 01:33:27.912
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
01:33:27.952 --> 01:33:28.653
[SPEAKER_02]: He has me on here.
01:33:29.213 --> 01:33:30.395
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is he gonna be the villain?
01:33:30.435 --> 01:33:32.297
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
01:33:32.377 --> 01:33:37.143
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of don't like that either like Thor really thought he was Thor's a good son.
01:33:37.283 --> 01:33:39.886
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Thor's son should be a good guy.
01:33:39.906 --> 01:33:40.627
[SPEAKER_02]: It's in the rules.
01:33:40.867 --> 01:33:41.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
01:33:42.916 --> 01:33:44.279
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, what do we think of this one?
01:33:45.642 --> 01:33:48.187
[SPEAKER_02]: Less fun than the other one, but still good.
01:33:48.207 --> 01:33:49.971
[SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking the same thing.
01:33:50.011 --> 01:33:55.863
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll give it 7 out of 10 people held up like cats.
01:33:57.286 --> 01:34:02.798
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll give it 7 out of 10 people being scruffed like cats as well.
01:34:03.908 --> 01:34:06.334
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, yeah, it was a pretty good one.
01:34:06.354 --> 01:34:15.595
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't seem like it was paced quite as well as the other one where we were You know, we were just bouncing around so so quickly from thing to thing.
01:34:15.615 --> 01:34:17.479
[SPEAKER_04]: It was just a very important day
01:34:17.763 --> 01:34:19.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'd agree with that.
01:34:19.225 --> 01:34:28.475
[SPEAKER_02]: This was just like a day in the life of our president, you know, and it just shows you all the important things that he scurries off to, you know, from to and fro.
01:34:28.516 --> 01:34:39.248
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure we kind of touched on it, but it's more fun when Captain America is just kind of flying in, being like,
01:34:39.228 --> 01:34:52.946
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm Captain America and I'm gonna kick your butt versus when he flies it and goes I'm the presence of the United States and I'm gonna kick your butts like that loses something to me It does lose something.
01:34:52.966 --> 01:34:58.173
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't explain it, but it feels like he went from being the star quarterback to being the superintendant.
01:34:59.174 --> 01:34:59.455
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
01:34:59.955 --> 01:35:00.516
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
01:35:00.556 --> 01:35:04.341
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:35:04.760 --> 01:35:07.803
[SPEAKER_04]: Spider would done with Spider-Man slash the ultimate.
01:35:07.863 --> 01:35:12.267
[SPEAKER_04]: We did get some Spider-Man today He was there in that one panel.
01:35:12.508 --> 01:35:12.988
[SPEAKER_04]: He was there.
01:35:13.068 --> 01:35:14.410
[SPEAKER_04]: He was at the inauguration.
01:35:14.990 --> 01:35:21.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah Which is crazy because I bet his parents are like miles Where were you?
01:35:21.196 --> 01:35:32.067
[SPEAKER_04]: We all wanted to watch the swearing-in of Steve Rogers together They would probably be so proud if they knew one day He's gonna show a picture and be like I was there.
01:35:32.768 --> 01:35:33.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
01:35:33.987 --> 01:35:34.869
[SPEAKER_04]: What else do we have?
01:35:35.810 --> 01:35:36.892
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't have anything else.
01:35:38.075 --> 01:35:41.301
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, what are we going to happen with IU football?
01:35:42.302 --> 01:35:50.357
[SPEAKER_04]: Because probably the final, the semi-finals and the finals will probably happen before we hop on again.
01:35:50.838 --> 01:35:51.620
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right, I guess.
01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:52.902
[SPEAKER_04]: Are they going to get the win?
01:35:52.942 --> 01:35:55.848
[SPEAKER_04]: Now is a pretty dominant performance against Alabama.
01:35:56.869 --> 01:35:57.210
[SPEAKER_02]: I...
01:35:58.102 --> 01:36:00.307
[SPEAKER_02]: look, I believe in this team.
01:36:00.708 --> 01:36:16.363
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably going to be like, they're the best, but it's so, I just want to keep riding, I just want to ride with it all the way to the championship and for once not be hurt by Indiana sports.
01:36:16.343 --> 01:36:26.753
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like hard to, the inevitable loss is going to feel crushing because they seem so unbeatable at the moment.
01:36:27.034 --> 01:36:32.099
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they seem like they are so much better than every other team that they play.
01:36:33.140 --> 01:36:33.460
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:36:34.621 --> 01:36:45.152
[SPEAKER_04]: But the thing is football is a weird game and if the ball gets tipped and it becomes an
01:36:45.132 --> 01:37:00.272
[SPEAKER_04]: And my years of gambling, that's how the better teams lose to teams they shouldn't lose to is, you know, a couple silly turnovers and now all of a sudden, you know, it's a really close game, some knows, but I think that they've got it.
01:37:00.472 --> 01:37:13.107
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so as well, I shudder to think that this will have a two-week delay and will be proved wrong and then it goes up, but no, they looked amazing in the Rose Bowl.
01:37:13.547 --> 01:37:17.872
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel very good going in to these final two games.
01:37:18.913 --> 01:37:26.462
[SPEAKER_02]: I was talking to someone today about Fernando Mendoza and I realized I like finally put my finger on what I like about him.
01:37:26.847 --> 01:37:37.320
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's that I was a big Johnny Manzel fan when he was at Texas A&M and it feels like Fernando Middosa is like the ethical hoops version of Johnny Manzel.
01:37:38.341 --> 01:37:44.088
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like it's kind of the same if he had the same or he's really nice and nicer guy.
01:37:44.108 --> 01:37:49.935
[SPEAKER_02]: If he had the same traits, but he did everything the right way quote unquote.
01:37:50.557 --> 01:37:55.852
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he seems like goofball, you know, I like they're they're all fun.
01:37:55.913 --> 01:38:02.271
[SPEAKER_04]: All the every time they interview some of you guys, you know, it seems like he's just out there having a good time.
01:38:02.656 --> 01:38:04.098
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:38:04.118 --> 01:38:04.920
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
01:38:05.020 --> 01:38:06.082
[SPEAKER_04]: I really hope
they pull it off.
01:38:06.923 --> 01:38:07.804
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they're going to.
01:38:07.965 --> 01:38:09.327
[SPEAKER_04]: I guarantee it, even.
01:38:09.347 --> 01:38:10.328
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.
01:38:10.348 --> 01:38:18.341
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I, uh, I, uh, I'd like to see anybody drudge up these words in a couple of weeks.
01:38:19.523 --> 01:38:21.967
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a Johnny Betts lock for you folks.
01:38:22.388 --> 01:38:23.770
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say,
01:38:23.750 --> 01:38:46.197
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say I'm going to say 27 to 10 against Oregon and dude, they just seem so much better than everybody, you know, except for Miami, I do think the U is pretty good, so I'm going to say
01:38:46.177 --> 01:38:55.529
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say 27 10 against Oregon and then I'm going to say 17 to 13 against Miami in the championship.
01:38:56.270 --> 01:38:57.312
[SPEAKER_02]: There's my predictions.
01:38:58.153 --> 01:38:58.373
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
01:38:59.174 --> 01:38:59.454
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
01:39:00.476 --> 01:39:03.419
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say I'm going to write these down here for us Zach.
01:39:03.620 --> 01:39:03.880
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
01:39:03.900 --> 01:39:04.421
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm listening.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to write mine down while you're talking.
01:39:06.595 --> 01:39:07.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
01:39:07.877 --> 01:39:14.687
[SPEAKER_02]: I am going to say 25 19 against Oregon.
01:39:15.027 --> 01:39:17.691
[SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like that's going to be one of those weird score games.
01:39:18.793 --> 01:39:26.944
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I'll say 21 to 13 in the championship against Ole Miss.
01:39:28.066 --> 01:39:31.631
[SPEAKER_04]: I was already writing down Ole Miss before you said that by the way.
01:39:31.851 --> 01:39:35.016
[SPEAKER_04]: I could just tell that you were going to go Ole
01:39:35.182 --> 01:39:44.976
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm of the mindset like, just take the, like, I don't want to make the road harder, you know how there are people who are like, oh, to be the best, you got to be the best.
01:39:45.216 --> 01:39:45.917
[SPEAKER_02]: We already did that.
01:39:46.018 --> 01:39:47.059
[SPEAKER_02]: We played Ohio State.
01:39:47.199 --> 01:39:49.443
[SPEAKER_02]: We've, we've beat everybody we needed to.
01:39:49.503 --> 01:39:53.829
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just face off against oldness and make it not as hard.
01:39:53.989 --> 01:39:55.912
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it would have to be an easier win.
01:39:56.953 --> 01:39:58.776
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't, I don't know.
01:39:58.756 --> 01:40:00.138

[SPEAKER_04]: I use going to beat anybody that they play.
01:40:05.866 --> 01:40:13.336
[SPEAKER_02]: Two weeks from now, we're going to look like the biggest fucking fools when Ole Miss has embarrassed IU in the championship.
01:40:13.517 --> 01:40:16.140
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's a weird sport.
01:40:16.861 --> 01:40:17.963

[SPEAKER_02]: And it's pretty good.
01:41:38.970 --> 01:42:02.250
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll recommend it to you and say this like the it's got a lot to do about like sports and like the the personality type that most often becomes like dominant in sports right it's someone who's like obsessive and selfish and a little bit of a con man
01:42:02.230 --> 01:42:28.423
[SPEAKER_02]: and they'll just sacrifice anything for like greatness right you hear stories about like Michael Jordan and he was not a nice guy off the court nothing matter to him but winning basketball games uh... same thing about like they breathe um... Marty supreme is a story about like a fictional guy in the fifties who is trying to be that for ping pong he's like i'm already the best ping pong player in america
01:42:28.403 --> 01:42:45.203
[SPEAKER_02]: If I win the world
championship, I can be the best in the world and he thinks he's going to be like on Weedysboxes and be the face of this rising sport and so he's just like Stealing and swindling it Don't watch it Okay, peaked my interest enough that I actually might see this one.
01:42:45.744 --> 01:42:46.605
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a good one.
01:42:46.765 --> 01:42:49.889

[SPEAKER_04]: I've got a table in the base or in the house.
01:43:06.736 --> 01:43:09.462

01:43:16.455 --> 01:43:19.379
[SPEAKER_02]: And I hear them and they're like, I don't get it.
01:43:19.459 --> 01:43:21.001
[SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't really a good guy.
01:43:21.021 --> 01:43:23.023
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I didn't even really like him.
01:43:23.043 --> 01:43:28.951
