five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, five, 03:38.405 --> 03:44.549 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's definitely a lot to contain, but I'm super intrigued by all the different stratifications. 03:45.049 --> 03:53.595 [SPEAKER_02]: It upsets the basic X-Men premise of their hate and hated and feared, and they have to save themselves and save humanity. 03:54.175 --> 03:58.818 [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's like, oh, some of these vampires are bad, some of them are better. 03:59.419 --> 04:02.441 [SPEAKER_02]: Some are human non-vampire mutants. 04:03.321 --> 04:03.862 [SPEAKER_02]: Like it, it's 04:04.782 --> 04:08.766 [SPEAKER_02]: It changes things up in a good way, and this was just a bang or cyclops issue. 04:08.826 --> 04:15.031 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought He was super-douchative it from the moment you saw No, it's like a leg. 04:15.051 --> 04:17.293 [SPEAKER_02]: How can you know what you like?

16:18.169 --> 16:19.070 [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is cool. 16:19.150 --> 16:21.372 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I also like telling this. 16:21.592 --> 16:26.536 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I were still here on the fantastic for like you get this kind of blacked out cover, which is cool looking. 16:26.837 --> 16:32.442 [SPEAKER_01]: And then inside that you see the full picture, which I think is nice, because they made the style choice to kind of black it out. 16:32.602 --> 16:34.443 [SPEAKER_01]: But it's nice that they didn't like it. 16:34.464 --> 16:36.625 [SPEAKER_03]: I will tell you a little disappointed to find out. 16:36.786 --> 16:43.852 [SPEAKER_03]: I thought when they announced it that it was going to be what is an acetate, so that it was blacked out and then you open it up in the real cover was below it. 16:45.433 --> 16:49.314 [SPEAKER_03]: versus it is just two different covers, but that's all right, I'll live. 16:49.534 --> 16:55.596 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was going to be a tie into Taylor Swift's Midnight's album, but I guess that's disappointing to me as well. 16:56.036 --> 16:56.236 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 16:56.476 --> 16:56.896 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man. 16:57.416 --> 16:59.116 [SPEAKER_03]: How do you feel about the whole line, Justin? 17:00.157 --> 17:00.837 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's great. 17:01.397 --> 17:08.959 [SPEAKER_02]: We talked about this a little bit on the live show just based on sort of the previews that we got, but this doesn't feel at all like the absolute universe. 17:08.979 --> 17:13.660 [SPEAKER_02]: It feels like three sort of distinct stories that don't really touch each other. 17:14.829 --> 17:17.532 [SPEAKER_02]: that are at three different ideas of what horror is. 17:17.552 --> 17:29.205 [SPEAKER_02]: And maybe they are going to eventually, but they're so different in every way,

totally the material they're covering, the genre of horror and sci-fi that they're touching on. 17:29.505 --> 17:33.449 [SPEAKER_01]: Which, to me seems like it's a good thing that you're saying, you're saying it like a compliment, right? 17:33.489 --> 17:35.011 [SPEAKER_01]: Not like you want, you, 17:36.255 --> 17:38.096 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying, yes, I think these are great. 17:38.116 --> 17:39.377 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not knocking them at all. 17:39.457 --> 17:43.299 [SPEAKER_02]: And just as a data point, I feel like everyone's saying, like, oh, Marvel's doing their absolute. 17:43.319 --> 17:47.181 [SPEAKER_02]: I actually think it's quite different, even if the like goals are the same. 17:48.573 --> 17:49.994 [SPEAKER_03]: I really like this as well. 17:50.054 --> 17:58.357 [SPEAKER_03]: My wood little quibble or problem that I had reading Midnight X Bed first was I spent the other two books being like, well, he's nobody talking about the vampire. 17:58.377 --> 18:00.098 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a vampire's the swirl. 18:00.118 --> 18:00.998 [SPEAKER_03]: What was I saying? 18:01.298 --> 18:01.959 [SPEAKER_03]: That's not saying. 18:02.759 --> 18:03.739 [SPEAKER_03]: But they are separate. 18:03.839 --> 18:07.921 [SPEAKER_03]: They do take place at the same continuity, but they are running on their own tracks. 18:08.161 --> 18:11.763 [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm curious to see how that all works out. 18:11.883 --> 18:12.063 [SPEAKER_03]: But 18:12.792 --> 18:14.333 [SPEAKER_03]: really good, really solid start. 18:14.493 --> 18:16.353 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, solid start, solid for more. 18:16.893 --> 18:18.414 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's see if there's a solid start for this one. 18:18.474 --> 18:22.395 [SPEAKER_03]: Juna Hacks in the shadow of death, number one from DC Comics by Michael Walsh. 18:22.615 --> 18:36.881 [SPEAKER_03]: We are following a seemingly older Juna Hacks at the end of his days who doesn't want to be a gunsling or anymore, unfortunately, sucked back into it thanks to a bunch of supernatural baddies as is one of the half-stop sling in guns. 18:37.121 --> 18:40.902 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, boy, Pete, you seem pretty psyched about this one, so take it away. 18:41.242 --> 18:48.724 [SPEAKER_01]: So here's the thing, I am a big Jonah Hacks fan, one of my favorite characters at DC, especially when done right. 18:49.565 --> 18:52.706 [SPEAKER_01]: So I was very excited to crack this open and read it. 18:52.786 --> 18:55.767 [SPEAKER_01]: And then I found out like, oh, this is in the Jonah Hacks. 18:55.867 --> 18:57.667 [SPEAKER_01]: I like, this is an older version. 18:57.687 --> 18:59.588 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's kind of like my shitty life. 18:59.608 --> 19:00.368 [SPEAKER_01]: That kind of sucks. 19:00.768 --> 19:04.970 [SPEAKER_01]: And then I was like, please tell me because he got older and so did you. 19:06.390 --> 19:10.531 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, and he's like getting pushed around at the bar and like, oh, this is hard to watch. 19:10.571

Yeah. 19:15.512 --> 19:16.152 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 19:16.532 --> 19:18.853 [SPEAKER_01]: But by the end, there's a little hope. 19:18.953 --> 19:24.254 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, no, that he's going to become the Jonah Hacks that we know and love again. 19:24.414 --> 19:28.655 [SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully he stands up for himself because it's hard to watch him get pushed around. 19:28.675 --> 19:29.315 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what I mean? 19:29.335 --> 19:31.295 [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, get yourself decide. 19:31.735 --> 19:33.876 [SPEAKER_01]: When you say, become the Jonah Hacks we don't love again. 19:33.896 --> 19:35.656 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think he's going to get younger or something? 19:36.236 --> 19:41.877 [SPEAKER_01]: Or just, you know, do you think you're going to get younger some of them in the street by reading this comic maybe? 19:41.937 --> 19:42.458 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe. 19:42.698 --> 19:43.318 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah. 19:43.938 --> 19:46.058 [SPEAKER_02]: John Hax is your portrait of Dory and Gray. 19:46.258 --> 19:48.759 [SPEAKER_03]: Because that way you keep searching in those nostalgia baths?

01:07:08.431 --> 01:07:09.072 [SPEAKER_02]: What is this? 01:07:09.332 --> 01:07:10.132 [SPEAKER_02]: What is going on? 01:07:10.213 --> 01:07:13.475 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I'm like, I'll get a get on board guys. 01:07:13.775 --> 01:07:21.940 [SPEAKER_02]: Like your hellboy be figured out a little bit and it just feels like that's the stasis point for hellboy where 01:07:22.872 --> 01:07:24.513 [SPEAKER_02]: where it this whole universe is. 01:07:25.174 --> 01:07:34.602 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's a tough choice how boys in like he had one person guiding him and then this other kind of monster was like, no, no, she's bad. 01:07:34.642 --> 01:07:37.645 [SPEAKER_01]: And then it's like, well, who do you trust, you know what I mean? 01:07:37.685 --> 01:07:39.987 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's, it's, it's, it's interesting to see how it gets out of this. 01:07:41.343 --> 01:07:53.698 [SPEAKER_03]: Tells of wonder, number two, from Image Comics by Steve Scroche, this is a zone to you guys who are definitely not Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, who invented an Avengers style team back in the day, except they didn't at all. 01:07:54.158 --> 01:07:58.524 [SPEAKER_03]: They actually met them during World War II and then just wrote down their adventures. 01:07:58.984 --> 01:08:01.387 [SPEAKER_03]: before the heroes were taken out of the world. 01:08:01.447 --> 01:08:10.598 [SPEAKER_03]: Now years later, they are bitter old enemies who have been made young again and are told that the fate of the world depends on them helping out this team. 01:08:11.098 --> 01:08:18.327 [SPEAKER_03]: Except, most of this issue, that team is really concerned with marketing and license rights and writing in public books. 01:08:18.847 --> 01:08:24.014 [SPEAKER_03]: So, it's very satirical, in case you could tell, I really enjoyed the first issue. 01:08:24.074 --> 01:08:27.799 [SPEAKER_03]: I had fun reading this one as well, and I love Steve Scrochee's art style. 01:08:27.819 --> 01:08:29.802 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just one I love seeing his stuff. 01:08:30.343 --> 01:08:31.124 [SPEAKER_03]: But what did you guys think? 01:08:31.364 --> 01:08:33.387 [SPEAKER_03]: I think we're all pretty positive about the first issue. 01:08:33.747 --> 01:08:35.530 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think it held up in the issue too? 01:08:36.427 --> 01:08:58.701 [SPEAKER_02]: yes i think it did i feel similar to what you said like it's it follows up on that keeping the satire going uh... doing a little some inside baseball stuff about the world of comic books and the history of comics and that's cool but also just some roasting of how we treat uh... ip in general now while still having some good superhero action and i like the cliffhanger at the end 01:08:59.320 --> 01:09:02.383 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just a gentle roasting of the nuts, you know what I mean? 01:09:03.004 --> 01:09:04.345 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I agree. 01:09:04.385 --> 01:09:11.453 [SPEAKER_01]: This is, this is really fun, um, you know, characters that kind of go between worlds here and what's real type of thing. 01:09:11.513 --> 01:09:15.998 [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, this very cool, solid, art fun characters. 01:09:16.138 --> 01:09:18.120 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, I thought this was enjoyable. 01:09:18.280 --> 01:09:20.263 [SPEAKER_01]: The Scroach, man, love to work. 01:09:21.365 --> 01:09:28.468 [SPEAKER_03]: Witness point, number three, from Dark Horse Comics written by Heath Corson, who is going to be at our live

show next week or five weeks again. 01:09:28.488 --> 01:09:30.989 [SPEAKER_03]: Look at the timing, look at the timing. 01:09:31.409 --> 01:09:36.951 [SPEAKER_03]: This is about a town which is full of people who are in witness protection. 01:09:37.331 --> 01:09:40.473 [SPEAKER_03]: There's been a murder that they are trying to track down who done it. 01:09:40.973 --> 01:09:45.535 [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, there's also, and this is true for this town that I'm liking on the name of right now. 01:09:45.555 --> 01:09:48.416 [SPEAKER_03]: I believe it's Woodbrook or Woodberry, something like that. 01:09:48.956 --> 01:09:50.377 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's called Woodrow Point. 01:09:50.978 --> 01:09:51.939 [SPEAKER_02]: It's called the witness point. 01:09:54.060 --> 01:10:04.508 [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, in this town, there actually is a whole population of circus people who live there as well, which we avoided in the second, barely mentioned the first issue. 01:10:04.628 --> 01:10:09.532 [SPEAKER_03]: Avoid it in the second issue, but dive deep into this issue at a very fun way. 01:10:09.692 --> 01:10:11.033 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, let's talk about this. 01:10:11.694 --> 01:10:13.155 [SPEAKER_02]: Check off circus town. 01:10:13.375 --> 01:10:13.915 [SPEAKER_02]: It's again. 01:10:14.216 --> 01:10:16.838 [SPEAKER_02]: You got to open up the circus. 01:10:18.253 --> 01:10:34.163 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like the fact that we kind of, you know, we dealt with a circus folks here, but it wasn't all negative, like I thought the moment where they appreciated how adorable elephants are was really kind of a sweet moment and all the madness. 01:10:34.643 --> 01:10:43.789 [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, because a lot of times people just like shit on circuses or clowns or whatever, and I think this kind of, you know, also we got to see the other side of that a little bit. 01:10:44.029 --> 01:10:46.371 [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I thought this was really cool. 01:10:47.672 --> 01:10:49.494 [SPEAKER_02]: I always ride for circus folk. 01:10:49.894 --> 01:10:51.656 [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't as album does. 01:10:52.277 --> 01:10:52.677 [SPEAKER_01]: Of course. 01:10:53.058 --> 01:11:00.346 [SPEAKER_03]: I was just hoping for that we theorize that our main character was probably in witness protection himself and spoiler. 01:11:00.707 --> 01:11:01.147 [SPEAKER_03]: He is. 01:11:01.648 --> 01:11:02.889 [SPEAKER_03]: But I liked how they did it. 01:11:02.929 --> 01:11:07.555 [SPEAKER_03]: They gave it a nice twist that I wasn't necessarily expecting that fits really well with the character. 01:11:08.035 --> 01:11:09.236 [SPEAKER_03]: So good stuff. 01:11:09.256 --> 01:11:18.622 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it has this smart construction that is almost lost in the way we flash back in a very specific way on a lot of our characters. 01:11:19.183 --> 01:11:35.714 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a fun mechanic that really works, I think, it never feels, I'm just excited to get to the crime flashback for each character and that's just smart construction and it does feel like the next issue is when things are going to really open up and get weird from a circus point of view. 01:11:36.900 --> 01:11:58.025 [SPEAKER_03]: Crowbound number two from image comics written by Jeff LeMira art by Dustin when lots to dig into here but this takes place in a strange world where it seems like there were many humans are all inside of a giant factory outside as big flesh thing and the men of the world take girls when they are of age or of not. 01:11:58.685 --> 01:12:03.126 [SPEAKER_03]: A daughter is taken the mother chased after her seemingly died and now 01:12:05.487 --> 01:12:10.895 [SPEAKER_03]: as a vengeful spirit by something to get back her daughter and bring that vengeance. 01:12:11.716 --> 01:12:19.288 [SPEAKER_03]: To this world, so as usual with this team, lots of mysteries, lots of strangeness going on here, what you guys think about issue number two. 01:12:20.462 --> 01:12:27.948 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I love a nice revenge, you know, nice going on a murder spree here, vengeful spree. 01:12:27.968 --> 01:12:36.495 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the art's unbelievable, just really, I'm a sucker for watercolors and this just kind of hits that in such a cool way. 01:12:36.515 --> 01:12:39.797 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the monsters are fantastic looking. 01:12:39.817 --> 01:12:43.880 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a crazy tail and it's in great hand. 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:47.003 [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, I'm very much enjoying this and looking forward to more. 01:12:48.869 --> 01:12:49.731 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I enjoy this. 01:12:49.771 --> 01:12:52.158 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's crazy for a series called Crowbound. 01:12:52.218 --> 01:12:53.763 [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen any crows yet. 01:12:55.435 --> 01:12:56.516 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you're crowed. 01:12:56.556 --> 01:12:57.756 [SPEAKER_02]: You're not cool. 01:12:57.817 --> 01:12:58.277 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:58.317 --> 01:12:58.537 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:58.557 --> 01:12:59.277 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, fair. 01:12:59.297 --> 01:12:59.398 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:59.438 --> 01:13:00.658 [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's the pros. 01:13:00.778 --> 01:13:02.139 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:13:02.179 --> 01:13:04.121 [SPEAKER_01]: Coming soon. 01:13:04.161 --> 01:13:04.501 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:04.521 --> 01:13:04.901 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:05.601 --> 01:13:06.962 [SPEAKER_02]: I know it's a classic surf Dracula. 01:13:07.423 --> 01:13:09.444 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a classic surf Dracula. 01:13:09.524 --> 01:13:11.125 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh. 01:13:11.265 --> 01:13:11.525 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh. 01:13:11.585 --> 01:13:12.186 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh. 01:13:12.506 --> 01:13:12.726 [SPEAKER_03]: No.

bam in the face. 01:15:28.985 --> 01:15:32.968 [SPEAKER_01]: Those skids, you know, I'll be like, oh, remember skids, you know, that's a fun sign. 01:15:33.712 --> 01:15:35.414 [SPEAKER_02]: You mean the clothing brand skids? 01:15:35.434 --> 01:15:36.235 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly. 01:15:36.255 --> 01:15:36.855 [SPEAKER_01]: Remember Skids? 01:15:37.516 --> 01:15:42.201 [SPEAKER_02]: See, in a middle of a poster back with the battle, your strategy would be to hit him with a nostalgia bag. 01:15:42.241 --> 01:15:45.384 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly, distract them, distract those monsters. 01:15:45.704 --> 01:15:50.489 [SPEAKER_02]: And you say of all the things in culture, skids is the thing that you really want to eat. 01:15:50.509 --> 01:15:51.530 [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about science. 01:15:51.630 --> 01:15:52.531 [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about science. 01:15:52.611 --> 01:15:55.374 [SPEAKER_01]: It comes to the science of most culture thing is Skids. 01:15:56.635 --> 01:16:05.323 [SPEAKER_03]: I got to tell you, if we're in a post-apocalyptic world, not to get too far away from skids, but you know, Pete's plan is to hit with a nostalgia bath as we establish that is a bag of mayonnaise. 01:16:05.803 --> 01:16:07.564 [SPEAKER_03]: That's bad mayonnaise at this point. 01:16:07.705 --> 01:16:10.427 [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're growing bad mayonnaise and people, that's going to work. 01:16:11.147 --> 01:16:13.770 [SPEAKER_02]: Just one of the biggest things that he's going to be worse bad. 01:16:13.790 --> 01:16:16.672 [SPEAKER_02]: One of the things I'm worried about in the apocalypse is how quickly the 01:16:22.941 --> 01:16:27.185 [SPEAKER_02]: I love mayonnaise and love tartar sauce, which is mayonnaise plus plus pickles. 01:16:27.566 --> 01:16:28.106 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man. 01:16:28.547 --> 01:16:33.852 [SPEAKER_03]: I actually think mayonnaise is a very good metaphor for nostalgia because it does not get better with time. 01:16:36.140 --> 01:16:55.339 [SPEAKER_02]: I like this book, I want to just highlight the format a little bit, telling the story of the couple who are split up and in this life on the line battle, seeing that story while we're flashing back to them having their first romance before the apocalypse is really smart. 01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:58.041 [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen that before and it does, it works really well here. 01:16:59.639 --> 01:17:11.182 [SPEAKER_03]: Last but not least, of the earth, number six from the image comics written by Chris Condon and Andrew Eric, art by Charlie Adlard, I believe this is the last issue of this title about a little monster that is attacking a woman. 01:17:11.902 --> 01:17:22.365 [SPEAKER_03]: She had a killer grandmother last issue, which really I'm sure bummed Pete out, but now she is on the run from the oil monster and boy oh boy, that oil monster will not leave her alone. 01:17:22.945 --> 01:17:26.986 [SPEAKER_02]: The only way for this grandma to live is if a codcaster dates her. 01:17:29.879 --> 01:17:32.800 [SPEAKER_02]: who could we get for this man of the following. 01:17:32.820 --> 01:17:33.580 [SPEAKER_02]: There was somebody. 01:17:34.341 --> 01:17:35.421 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I enjoyed this. 01:17:35.461 --> 01:17:36.782 [SPEAKER_01]: The arts fantastic. 01:17:36.942 --> 01:17:39.423 [SPEAKER_01]: The kind of oil monsters unique and cool. 01:17:39.763 --> 01:17:40.983 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is high tension. 01:17:41.023 --> 01:17:46.185 [SPEAKER_01]: This is at your seat, non-stop kind of a roller coaster issue, man. 01:17:46.245 --> 01:17:48.806 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I very much enjoyed it. 01:17:50.195 --> 01:17:55.862 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I mean, I was bummed out how quickly our oil company guy was dispatched last issue. 01:17:56.602 --> 01:18:00.307 [SPEAKER_02]: I wish we got a little bit more time with him because he felt like a nice character. 01:18:01.208 --> 01:18:05.833 [SPEAKER_02]: We get the sort of pull back to the corporate malfeasance behind all of this. 01:18:05.913 --> 01:18:08.256 [SPEAKER_02]: I like that ending for it. 01:18:10.659 --> 01:18:14.985 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying, I don't know if we'll revisit this story if Chris wants to come back. 01:18:15.426 --> 01:18:19.511 [SPEAKER_02]: Chris and Andrew want to come back and make more of this, but I want to know more about what's happening here. 01:18:19.571 --> 01:18:25.540 [SPEAKER_03]: It feels like there's a big, deeper, longer mystery here, so I don't know if we will, but I would like to. 01:18:26.875 --> 01:18:29.097 [SPEAKER_03]: And that is it for the stack before you wrap up. 01:18:29.158 --> 01:18:31.340 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about what our pick is. 01:18:31.420 --> 01:18:41.050 [SPEAKER_03]: If you add five bucks to go into a comic book shop and pick up one title of everything in the stack, everything that we talked about today, what would it be? 01:18:41.210 --> 01:18:42.271 [SPEAKER_03]: This is hard. 01:18:42.351 --> 01:18:43.593 [SPEAKER_03]: This is a hard decision. 01:18:43.633 --> 01:18:44.754 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, hard to stack. 01:18:45.294 --> 01:18:50.898 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with, because Alex, you did a great job curating, such a great stack. 01:18:51.358 --> 01:18:51.699 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you. 01:18:51.919 --> 01:19:12.293 [SPEAKER_01]: All of these choices would be awesome if you went to a store, but I would go with back at a number 24 just because it was just such a fun, like in the middle of this kind of bad seed, like just focus on spoiler and her determination, and I'd really like her as a character, so I'm glad she's getting a little shine, you know? 01:19:13.612 --> 01:19:14.172 [SPEAKER_02]: That's really nice. 01:19:14.292 --> 01:19:22.697 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy to hear you say that because I didn't want you to take my pick, which is the demon number one Was my fave of the league man. 01:19:22.757 --> 01:19:27.379 [SPEAKER_02]: What a pleasant surprise the James Heron One man banned
