00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.000
Well, it's a miracle.
2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
It is a miracle. A Mr. Miracle.
3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:23.000
That we're still here. That's on the COVID If you're just listening. I was pointing out Mr. Miracle on the COVID If you are watching, you saw me pointing out Mr. Miracle on the COVID And our favorite
4
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.000
Green Lantern is here, too.
5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Oh, boy. Yes. Actually, this is my favorite version of my favorite Green Lantern.
6
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Favorite version of him. Yes. Yes. It's a good version of him.
7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:42.000
The. Yeah, well, it's. Concussions aren't as funny as they used to be, though, so it's hard. Well, anyway, I'll get into that one. Funny.
8
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Oh, man.
9
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.000
CTE. Yeah. We are at Booster Gold 22, guest starring the Justice League International.
10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.000
Yeah,
11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:11.000
we've got interiors by Jurgens and Templeton. I believe we. The covers also by Jurgens and Templeton, but I can verify that really quickly. May not be. It says, oh, no. Terry Austin inked the COVID Oh, okay. So that's why it says interiors by Matt Zine.
12
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.000
That makes sense.
13
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.000
So the inker on the COVID was Terry Austin. And I like this. This cover.
14
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.000
It's a good cover.
15
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
I like how our favorite Green Lantern is just standing there, like, confused.
16
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000
He's like, what's going on, guys?
17
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
What's going on, guys? I don't know.
18
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.000
What are you guys doing?
19
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:39.000
We've got a big cover here. We've got Martian Manhunter looking for some Chacos Guy Gardner.
20
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.000
Yeah.
21
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:48.000
Captain Atom, Captain Adam. Who won't make it through two events. It's two events from now, right?
22
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.000
Oh, come on.
23
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.000
Because we have invasion. Yeah, we have Millennium and then Invasion. Right.
24
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000
And then I hear Millennium is coming.
25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Yeah, it is. It's on the COVID It's on the COVID That. That wonderful crossover. No man.
26
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
No man defeats
27
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000
the Manhunters.
28
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.000
No, they don't.
29
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:20.000
And we've got a spoiler alert. So we've got Mr. Miracle, and we've got Rocket Red, number seven, who does not make it through Millennium.
30
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.000
Oh, come on. We love Rocket Red.
31
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.000
No, no, you like Rocket Red, number four.
32
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.000
Number four.
33
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Number four, I think. Is it four or one?
34
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000
I think it's.
35
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.000
It's. It's. Which one is Dimitri?
36
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000
I like. I like 1 and 4.
37
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.000
But no, 7 is 7. We liked, but he doesn't make it through.
38
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
Doesn't make it through.
39
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:50.000
And. And. And we've got the bug. Bug is there with boost, which means there's a blue be. Should be a blue Beetle up there.
40
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Yeah, a little. Little B and G action going on.
41
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.000
Not quite yet.
42
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Not quite yet. Not Quite there. But I mean, it's getting there. It's laying the groundwork. It's putting down that frame. It's getting us.
43
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.000
It's a November cover and we're still playing baseball.
44
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000
Oh, hey. Well, I mean, that makes sense because
45
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000
that would have been September, right?
46
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.000
Yeah, they're still playing baseball.
47
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.000
I don't know why I was going backwards on the last podcast, but pretty
48
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:24.000
soon they got to trade in those baseball uniforms and put on those basketball uniforms. They become the basketball M&MS.
49
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.000
Well, we did decide that Tan was the best Eminem because he was forcibly retired or simply retired.
50
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000
What? And, and what was his RBI?
51
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.000
He had like 140 in a season. That's why we're like, enough, enough.
52
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:43.000
You're done, dude. You can't. You're the best of the best.
53
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Well, we are. We're moving quickly here. It's like we're doing two podcasts in a row and so we have nothing to talk about at the beginning.
54
00:03:49.000 --> 00:04:17.000
I know it's. I mean it happens sometimes. I mean for the people listening. Yes, we are recorded one now we're jumping into the second. But what do you. The cliffhanger episode. You can't just read it and forget about it for a week. I mean, well, you the listener might, but Dan and I, we are go getters hungry boys. We have to had to eat up this booster gold right now. Do you have a dog?
55
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.000
Bring a special guest on.
56
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Oh my gosh, is it the best dog?
57
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:31.000
I heard we will bring a special guest. Yeah, well, actually, I don't know. I do have an interlude actually. I don't know if she's. Some people were one day this week were not saying she was the best dog.
58
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Oh really? There's a term of events and the best dog.
59
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:43.000
I'm just going to warn if you're an animal lover, this next segment probably isn't the best for you. So this little nine year old huntress.

Load full transcript
--> 00:04:45.000
Yeah.
61
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:54.000
Yes. I was out cleaning out the backyard last Saturday and cleaning off the deck and she escaped into the neighbor's yard.
62
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.000
Oh.
63
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.000
Because she can jump up and go between the fence and the shed.
64
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
Sneaky dog.
65
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:19.000
So she scales a wall, jumps up, goes between the fence and the shed. The landscapers come that I fired from my house. They open the gate, she pops out. About 20 minutes later my neighbor to the other side comes over and knocks on the front door. And there standing next to her is one Ms. Juliet.
66
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.000
Oh no.
67
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:29.000
And she had gone hunting. She went into the neighbor's yard and found A rabbit den.
68
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.000
Oh, no.
69
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:46.000
So then I take her. We're walking around trying to figure out what she did. She's staying by me and I look over and all of a sudden she's gone and she's ventured down a four way street hunting for the big rabbit.
70
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.000
Big rabbit.
71
00:05:50.000 --> 00:06:01.000
Now, if you're feeling bad for the rabbits, the rabbits here are an uncontrolled population that are way overpopulated.
72
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.000
They're everywhere.
73
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.000
But my neighbor was none too happy about, you know, rabbit dens and squealing.
74
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:18.000
I bet not. That's not rabbit fur. That is not something you want to come out to in a black dog eating.
75
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.000
Now, admittedly, she was more concerned about Juliet. Thank you. She was the rabbit, so.
76
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.000
Well, that's.
77
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:37.000
That is the good thing. But yeah, it was. Well, there you go. See, I last podcast we led with the Punisher. Now you have Juliet and have Juliet the huntress.
78
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.000
The same coloring too, is the Punisher
79
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.000
and the very innocent, beautiful dog. And. Yeah, so.
80
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.000
So does that mean that she went on.
81
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.000
She went on a hunting adventure?
82
00:06:49.000 --> 00:07:19.000
Yes. Does that mean my dog Rika has now jumped up into the ranks of best dog status for the week? No, I would say so. I mean, Rika, the three legged dog that does no wrong, only looks cute and, and loves everyone and doesn't do. Doesn't do any of those things that Dan was talking about. The only thing that she eats in the yard is grass and then maybe throws it up later on. But that's not a big deal when it's coming to baby bunnies.
83
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Well, technically, if we were quoting Ron Swanson, neither of the dogs would be important because Ron Swanson said any dog under 50 pounds is a cat and cats are pointless.
84
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:42.000
Oh, boy. Well, I mean, if you took both of my togs and put them together, you might have £50. The pig, on the other hand, is a swarthy little thing.
85
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:57.000
Yeah, I would need an extra Juliet to get over £50 there too, so. Well, anyway, it's. Yeah, it was a. It was a sad day that day. I got scared my dog, I was running around and she had no collar on.
86
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:02.000
Oh, color. Breaking the law, Dan. Five stars on gta.
87
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:11.000
I know. I took her swimming and her collar was all wet. Wet. So her collar was drying. She wasn't supposed to leave the backyard.
88
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.000
Always an excuse.
89
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:23.000
She did love going swimming. Yeah, that's good. Usually when she goes swimming, she is nine years old. Usually when she goes swimming, she passes out for the next four hours. Yeah, just not that time.
90
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.000
Well, there was there Was new bunnies to be she needed.
91
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:35.000
Yeah, apparently so. It was. Well, anyway, most of the bunnies were saved.
92
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:40.000
That's good. He's saying that everyone listening will feel good about this episode.
93
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.000
Oh, yeah. Well, most of the bunnies were saved. I'm being honest. There was one sad one.
94
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.000
Yeah.
95
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.000
But the sad one didn't have any teeth marks on it. So I think it may have already passed away. Expired.
96
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.000
Yes.
97
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.000
Yeah.
98
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.000
I mean, it's after Easter. Yeah.
99
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.000
We no longer want the bunnies. Well, that's how they all got there to begin with.
100
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:07.000
So they got there because of Easter. They were laying eggs in the yard everywhere for the children. That's what bunnies do. Lay eggs.
101
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.000
Little small eggs. I.
102
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.000
The chocolate.
103
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Chocolate eggs.
104
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.000
Oh, my gosh. Okay.
105
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.000
Malted milk eggs.
106
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.000
Did I ever tell you about my aunt and the chocolate and the bunnies?
107
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.000
I don't think so.
108
00:09:20.000 --> 00:10:14.000
So my dad. This is a. A second aunt. Like, not second, a great aunt. My great uncle bought a rabbit for the kids, which would be my. My. I don't know if they're like great, great, great cousins or whatever. They're older than me. They're like. They're like aunts and uncles themselves. But they got a bunny rabbit for Easter and, And, and the kids were super excited and happy. My aunt was not happy because the chocolates that my uncle had bought tasted terrible. And she'd be eating them all morning as she was picking them up around the house. My uncle said, I didn't buy any chocolates for the kids. I
only bought the rabbit. Wow. I know, right?
109
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.000
The fact that that could be real disturbs me.
110
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.000
It's 100 real. That's.
111
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.000
It's.
112
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:36.000
It's a story that gets told. Every family are union that I've ever been to with. With any of that portion of the family. Oh, you're the guy. You're the family that. You're the. You're the part of the family that had the. The bunny for Easter and your mom ate the bunny pellets.
113
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.000
Wow.
114
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.000
Yeah.
115
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.000
Is not great.
116
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:53.000
It's. I think it's hilarious. It's. It's the kind of stuff you dream of as a writer to, like, be like, oh, this would be such a great scene because it really is foreign.
117
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.000
It's a really great scene. And yet it's not.
118
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.000
Oh, I know. It's terribly not.
119
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Well. Well, then on that note, we've started the podcast with Bunny Talk. Welcome to Bunny Talk. And we're going to go on to Booster Talk.
120
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:19.000
I mean, it's. It's a double B episode. Bunnies and Booster. Boosters and Bunnies. Booster boosting bunnies.
121
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:30.000
Well, right now we have a challenge because Booster has a dilemma. He's got a dilemma. If you were listening, last week we had a dilemma.
122
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.000
It did.
123
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:53.000
Booster either has to save the baseball stadium full of people, is going to get trampled by the guy with the horns, or he needs to save his twin sister, who they also all of a sudden start reminding us that it's a twin sister. You know, in a wrestling match.
124
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.000
Yeah. Han Solo.
125
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.000
Time limit. When there's a time limit.
126
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.000
Yeah.
127
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:08.000
And they also all of a sudden start reminding you that there's a time limit. That's the one that's going to end in a tie. Right. Like, with no decision and maybe.
128
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.000
Yeah, yeah. Like a ladder match. It doesn't go anywhere.
129
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.000
Well, I know it's not what I was.
130
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.000
I've seen one. I've seen one.
131
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.000
Well, this book's by Dan Jurgens. Thai Temple.
132
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.000
You've never seen a ladder match that goes nowhere.
133
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:40.000
Gene d' Angelo and colors. Barbara Randall, editor. And I think Terry Austin is on the COVID I think we already mentioned that. So we're here and we're moving through. Booster gets a whole page of emoting.
134
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.000
Oh, he emotes everywhere.
135
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:50.000
Yeah. And there's a lot of emoting. He hits the guy and he goes back through the portal to save the baseball stadium. But tell Skeets to save Michelle.
136
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.000
Yes.
137
00:12:51.000 --> 00:13:08.000
Slash Goldstar. So there we go. Booster flies out quickly through the stadium. He's breaking locker rooms. He's flying up through, and he comments on the hefty bag on the roof that they don't call it a Hefty bag because if they called it a Hefty bag, they probably get in trouble.
138
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.000
Everybody would know the stadium they're talking about.
139
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.000
Well, Dave Niehaus.
140
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.000
Yes.
141
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.000
Rest in peace, Dave.
142
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.000
Rest in peace.
143
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.000
Thank you for my childhood and listening to the Mariners.
144
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.000
So good. So many games.
145
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:29.000
There's a claimed rapper. He claims to be a rapper, I believe. Is that. Is that the correct genre?
146
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.000
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
147
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:40.000
Who also had a wonderful childhood listening to Dave Niehaus, just like me. Wrote a whole song about it. Yeah.
148
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.000
Oh, yeah.
149
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.000
Song makes me cry.
150
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.000
Who is this. This rapper you're speaking of?
151
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:51.000
I don't know. I understand he went to Evergreen State College, slash University.
152
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.000
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I believe maybe right after.
153
00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:02.000
Esteemed alumni, are you far surpassing children's authors?
154
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.000
And are you saying better than Carrie or Kim Dawson? I don't know.
155
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.000
I don't know who those are.
156
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.000
What? The.
157
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.000
I don't know what you're talking about.
158
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:19.000
Oh, my gosh. Slater, Kenny and Kimmy and Dawson. Get out of here, dude.
159
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.000
Well, you didn't say Slater, Kenny, Gary.
160
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:44.000
Like, it's. It's weird that I. I went there at the same time that all of them, like. Well, Kimmy and Carrie were there at the same, like. Like in the same time frame. And then the. The gentleman you're speaking of, who I was listening to Mack, prior to the podcast. Yes.
161
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.000
Mr. Is Matt Lamore bad now or.
162
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.000
No, no, no.
163
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.000
Okay.
164
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.000
I mean, well, some people might.
165
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.000
He didn't go maga Maga.
166
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.000
No, no, no. He's just. He speaks of people's rights and other things like that. And.
167
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.000
And that's what I thought.
168
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.000
People don't like.
169
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.000
Well, no, the way you were
speaking, I was scared. I was like.
170
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:10.000
No, I was getting. I was. I was. I was building up to the rel. The release of the name. It's interesting because I remember talking to
171
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.000
what you're building up.
172
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:42.000
I was building up to the release of the name just like at the. At the. At the front of the COVID that. That millennium is coming. That I was speaking to somebody there at the Evergreen State College when I was briefly teaching there. Which a weird thing to say. And they were like, oh, my kid raps at the bar downtown. You should check them out.
173
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:54.000
And he wrote a whole song about Dave Niehaus. I know. Which is his best song.
174
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.000
I get what I mean.
175
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.000
He has very good songs. He's got some.
176
00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.000
That's some.
177
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.000
But that is his best song by far.
178
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:04.000
He's got so many. His. His albums are very good.
179
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.000
The. But the Dave Niehaus song.
180
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.000
Yes.
181
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.000
Song.
182
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.000
It is. It is. It is. Of their. Up there in the.
183
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.000
Oh, no, no. It's definitively.
184
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000
I was gonna say it is up there.
185
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.000
The only Macklemore.
186
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.000
The top one of his songs.
187
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.000
It's the only Macklemore song that makes me cry.
188
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:27.000
Yeah. Yeah, it is. It is definitely, definitely great.
189
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.000
So I could listen to it like a thousand times in a row. Should we check on the Mariner score?
190
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.000
If you want to.
191
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.000
Anybody wants to know the Mariner score?
192
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:45.000
I want to know because I'm kind of like that. I'm not. I'm not going to say I did not want to record this podcast because I was this episode because I was.
193
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:50.000
I was kind of like, yeah, well, I was supposed to be listening. I will tell you right now. It's good news.
194
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.000
Okay.
195
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:57.000
In the seventh. Oh, in in traditional Mariners fashion, though, if we were watching, we would be stressed out.
196
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.000
We would be stressed out. Oh, my God. And the worst part is, is I'm.
197
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:05.000
We are winning. But it's a very normal Mariner's score.
198
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.000
Okay.
199
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.000
Like a 2 to 1 or 3 to 2, you know, kind of.
200
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.000
But stressing out 1 to 0.
201
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:27.000
Well, yeah, the Mariners can never let you, like, you know, relax. It's just, it's. It's important. And, and, you know, that's why Dave Niehaus told the story so well, and that's why McLemore was so infatuated with Dave Niehaus as we all were.
202
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.000
Yeah, yeah.
203
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:34.000
If Slater Kenny had done a song about Dave Niehaus, I would remember their names.
204
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:45.000
But Kimmy Dawson did a song about Captain Lou Abeno as well as a song about as long as a song. As well as a song.
205
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:52.000
The problem with her doing that song, though, is there's already a major female act associated with this.
206
00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:02.000
That's true. Okay, so then we, we jump to her new song, newer song that is all about.
207
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:09.000
I I maybe she should play at the Retro Emporium I In Kent, Washington, on Baker Street.
208
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.000
I have tried to get her to come.
209
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.000
I don't think you tried hard enough.
210
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.000
I, I will try again.
211
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.000
I'll even put chairs up if she comes.
212
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:26.000
I We should. Because the, it would be definitely the kind of, the kind of show that would garner that.
213
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.000
What if she played at the Pied Piper?
214
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:34.000
No, there's not enough room at the Pied Piper.
215
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:48.000
Pied Piper is a bar, by the way, down the street from the Retro Emporium. Well, you know, we are getting way off task. You know what we were talking about the Hefty Bag Dome. The reason Dave Nihas came up is because he always called it the Hefty Bag in the Metrodome.
216
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.000
I was gonna.
217
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.000
Who was, who was the big time player in the Metrodome at this time?
218
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.000
Oh, in the 80s.
219
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:01.000
There are a couple for Frank Viola, the pitcher.
220
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000
Yeah.
221
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000
Kirby Puckett.
222
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.000
Kirby Puckett? Yeah. Twins. Yeah.
223
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:14.000
Kent Herbeck, I believe was there. He had no E. He's just HR HR Her. Yeah, it's.
224
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000
I had a couple of those cards in my, in my collection for sure.
225
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.000
I had like all the Frank Violas. Yeah.
226
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:26.000
Kirby Puckett was like. I mean, at least nobody wanted them. What are you talking about?
227
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.000
The Frank Violas.
228
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.000
Oh, the Frank Violas?
229
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.000
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. People wanted the Kirby Puckett cards.
230
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:43.000
The big deal Peewee and I would be like, going, like, doing a trade type thing in the lunchroom at school, asking for anybody that had them.
231
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:47.000
Anyways, was Burt Bly Levin back there for a final
season?
232
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.000
I think so.
233
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:56.000
Coming back from the Angels, It's. I think there. There's a. There was a lot of things going on with the Twins back in the day.
234
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:03.000
Yeah, they were pretty busy, pretty popping. Like, they had some of the best seasons. Not too far off, not too.
235
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:23.000
It was a couple years after that. They had their better seasons. Yeah, their better seasons. Didn't they beat the. Didn't they. Didn't they win in like 80? The Royals were 85. See, they beat the Cardinals, didn't they? Yeah, in like 87 or 80. It's.
236
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.000
You're making.
237
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:31.000
I mean, they had some. They had the win in the early 90s, too, when Jack Morris was there, coming over from Detroit.
238
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
You're making me really. From the Tigers.
239
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:45.000
So Detroit won in 84. Kansas City one in 85. The A's went in 88, 88, 89, and 90.
240
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.000
They were big.
241
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:53.000
Now we got to remember who won the ones between that,
242
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:54.000
man.
243
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.000
Well, anyway, definitely not the Mariners.
244
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.000
We can tell you that.
245
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:09.000
The Mariners have never been to the World Series. Yes. What? Which is why Dave Niehaus being so treasured. Dave Niehaus being able to make Mariners games interesting is. That's why he's so famous.
246
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:18.000
Okay, so for the listeners out there, just. Just so that we're all on the same page, Dan, are we wearing Mariners gear right now?
247
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.000
I am not exactly.
248
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:40.000
No freaking way, man. I'm not touching it. It. The jersey is in the. In the closet. The hat is in the closet. It doesn't come out until after the season, people. I'm sorry. I'm not going to be the guy. I'm not going to be the person that puts it on and all of a sudden, like, mine's right here.
249
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.000
I'll switch it off right now.
250
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.000
What?
251
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:49.000
How could we ruin it? They've been. Well, they did just sweep. They just did just sweep the Cardinals.
252
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:56.000
I know. It's early, though. It's early. It's still early. They. I mean, they could do anything right now.
253
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:06.000
Was it 86? It's the question. Is 86 and 87, right? Which year did the Twins beat the Cardinals?
254
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:18.000
It's been a minute since I've been to an actual game. Game, though. So maybe we. Maybe we should go see a game. Dan. Listeners, do you think Dan and I should go see a game and then anyone in the area wants to come and hang out with us?
255
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.000
87. I was right I was, right.
256
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.000
Yeah.
257
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:29.000
So who was 86? 84 was Detroit and Milwaukee, right? No, Milwaukee was in the American League.
258
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.000
Milwaukee.
259
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:43.000
That was 83. St. Louis beat Milwaukee. Detroit won in 84. Kansas City won in 85. The Twins won in 87. So who won in 86?
260
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.000
Expos.
261
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.000
The Expos. No, no.
262
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.000
Coolest. They have the coolest jersey, though.
263
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.000
They didn't go to the World Series until they were the Washington Nationals.
264
00:22:55.000 --> 00:23:00.000
I know, but that design for the Expos jersey is amazing.
265
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:10.000
Oh, I know 86. I know 86. Who. 86 was the error. The air. The Bill Buckner error. That was the Mets and Boston. I don't have to look that up.
266
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.000
Okay.
267
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:20.000
That was the Bill Buckner letting it go under his legs and the Mets coming back and Dwight Gooden and Daryl Strawberry.
268
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.000
Ah, Daryl Strawberry.
269
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.000
Yeah. So there you go. Okay.
270
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.000
Classic player.
271
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.000
Now that we've learned about baseball.
272
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.000
We've learned about baseball. We've. We've gotten through that whole thing. Now we're back to the.
273
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:35.000
Well, the whole. The whole aside about baseball is the Dome, right?
274
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.000
Yeah. Yeah.
275
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:49.000
Supposed to protect things, but there you go. Also, famously, the. The Trop. And in Tampa Bay, their. Their roof is torn off in the hurricane.
276
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.000
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
277
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.000
Yeah.
278
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.000
And they. It took how long to fix that thing? Like a year.
279
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.000
Still.
280
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.000
It's still. Oh, my gosh. Like, it's been gone for a while.
281
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.000
Are they back this year?
282
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.000
I think so. Maybe.
283
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:12.000
Well, at least they have a home. The A's are playing in, like, Sacramento or. Well, anyway, they'll be in.
284
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.000
They'll be in Vegas sooner.
285
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:21.000
We're back to the comic. Michelle is not happy. She's talking to Skeets on page five. Because there are page numbers here.
286
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.000
Yes.
287
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:36.000
Saying she's not sure if she can make it. Skeets is rescuing her. She's getting out. And Booster's back fighting the big giant horned monster. And lo and behold, look who shows up. The Justice League.
288
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.000
Oh, my gosh.
289
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.000
Just U.S. league.
290
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:49.000
They. They show up when needed. They're perfectly timed. A great assortment of characters.
291
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.000
Yes, well, and the same ones that were on the COVID so we don't have to go through them all again. That's true.
292
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:54.000
We don't.
293
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.000
Except for. That is not true. Black Canary and Blue Beetle are there, too.
294
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:04.000
They are there. They're hiding out. Well, we talked about Blue Beetle, but we didn't talk about Black Canary because she wasn't sure.
295
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:20.000
Yeah, well, Black Canary was barely in the Justice League because she was going to go off to the they were going to shuttle her off to the Green Arrow series that Mike Raw was doing. So she didn't stick around long. Bad things happen to her in that series.
296
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.000
Yeah.
297
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:39.000
And then she gets better. This is probably the worst Black Canary costume. They wanted to make her look more superhero and get rid of the fishnets and everything. They should have learned that in the late 70s, even though. Late 70s, early 80s with Zatanna.
298
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:40.000
Yeah.
299
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:58.000
They tried to do that with the costume, and it didn't stick around. We did get some amazing George Perez art drawing Zatanna in that costume sometimes. But, yeah, it wasn't. Wasn't the. Wasn't the best. So Black Canary. Yeah. Black Canary is pretty much a footnote in this story. She's just cutting up the Blue Beetle.
300
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.000
Yeah.
301
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:23.000
One thing I do like about this, though, and I. So I hadn't read all these and you had not knowing that this existed. Right. I always was mad at Dan Jurgens for taking and irrationally mad. Right. It's not really fair. Giffen and Damattis's run was over. I loved it. And then Dan Jurgens takes over the Justice League, and I didn't like it because he made it a superhero book again. Right.
302
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.000
But why?
303
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:37.000
Yeah, Well, I just. It. It just felt when Dan Dragons took over Justice League, you went from all the inner. The dialogue interaction to all of a sudden it's a Justice League beating up people. Right.
304
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.000
Right.
305
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:58.000
And it didn't feel right. And so, you know, I just. I didn't like it. And there was some. There was also a couple of bad plot lines, like that Blood Wind thing where Martian Manhunter was like blood Wind and going after people she didn't know. Who is Blood Wind? And that's when we get Maxima, who will be showing up in Great car.
306
00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.000
Got a lot of maximum.
307
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:14.000
We love the Nissan showing up in the Superman movie. So clearly somebody. Some director liked that period of Justice League. Could it be like the. What's funny? He's using those characters. Some of them, yeah.
308
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.000
Yeah.
309
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.000
I mean, he liked Guy Gardner from the period.
310
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.000
Yeah.
311
00:27:18.000 --> 00:28:05.000
The one thing that stands out in this book is in the Justice League main book, Guy Gardner got hit in the head and he turned into this super nice guy. One of the things that happened in the. We've talked about this before. The whole origin of Guy Gardner. Guy Gardner was a schoolteacher. He suffers a traumatic brain injury. That's how John Stewart becomes the Green Lantern. Other Green Lantern in the sector. And then Guy Gardner comes back. And after that, traumatic brain injury is not A nice schoolteacher, but a complete and total asshole. And then he's hit in the head again and he becomes a nice schoolteachery type guy. So it's. This doesn't last. He. He gets hit in the head again later and becomes. But the joke continues on. The problem with the joke is concussions aren't funny anymore. So it was not a joke that aged well at all.
312
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.000
Yeah.
313
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:20.000
But that is the Guy Gardner you're getting in the middle of here. So a lot of the interaction in here. The point I was going to make before I got myself distracted was it's interesting seeing Dan Jurgens write the Justice League in the style of Giffen and Dematis.
314
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.000
Ah.
315
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.000
Or De Mateus. Sorry.
316
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.000
Yeah, yeah.
317
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.000
Demattes. The mates. John, Mark.
318
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.000
Yeah, it's.
319
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.000
It is Ethan. John, Mark. We'll go that route.
320
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.000
Okay. Okay. It is interesting to see him write them this way, but he does a good job. I mean, I thought he did a
321
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.000
great job writing them this way.
322
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:47.000
The characters and, and, and they're. They feel the way they should. They don't feel. Yes.
323
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.000
It feels like the other book.
324
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.000
Yeah.
325
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:57.000
Which is weird that this artifact. Again, it's kind of weird. This artifact is here because he's the one that takes over the book. Right. And gets rid of that style.
326
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.000
Yeah.
327
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:18.000
And starts eliminating those characters. Like he kills off ice. He knocks a bunch of characters out of the book. He brings back the heavy hitters into the Justice League, and then that run changes authors eventually. And then they end the book and they relaunch it as jla, written by Grant Morrison. So.
328
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.000
Right.
329
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:24.000
And then the heavy hitters were all back because Grant Morrison starts out with all the heavy hitters in the book.
330
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.000
All of them.
331
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:49.000
Everybody and Angels, which makes total sense. Anyway, we get an ad for more John. John Byrne recreating the Superman universe. You get an ad for World of Krypton, which is really weird because this looks like something right out of the Silver Age.
332
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.000
Yeah, it kind of does.
333
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:58.000
And. And it's. It's odd that, but he's going back to tell the original the beginning of Superman there.
334
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.000
You gotta know where. Mike.
335
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.000
On art.
336
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:08.000
Wait, Mike Manola? The same Mike Manola? Yep, I know.
337
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:25.000
And you got. It's. This is a set of three interlocking four issue miniseries. So they're trained to build up the. Continue to build. Rebuild the Superman mythos around whatever this is. I mean, and a lot of this mythos still sticks around.
338
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.000
That's insane.
339
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:33.000
Including the twinks. Including the twinks in the background. I'm sure they stick around.
340
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.000
Have you seen the show?
341
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:43.000
I have not, actually. I understand devm is on the show, so I'm surprised I haven't watched it because there is a Legion connection there.
342
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:47.000
Take a breath.
343
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.000
So is Deb M. One of the
344
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.000
Twinks you'll have to watch and let me know.
345
00:30:53.000 --> 00:31:18.000
Yeah, I just haven't gotten around to it for whatever reason. That's one. I. That's when I can start watching while I work out. There we go. So I just finished up something and I. I'm also watching right now. Well, I watched. Well, I mentioned Jury Duty already, I think on the podcast. Yeah, I'm also watching. What is the new Steve Carell show?
346
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.000
I don't know.
347
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:28.000
His daughter is the. In a college professor and he's a like junk novelist.
348
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.000
Okay.
349
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.000
Rooster.
350
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.000
Oh, okay.
351
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.000
Watched a couple episodes of that. It's. It's all right.
352
00:31:33.000 --> 00:32:02.000
I mean, I'm almost done. I'm almost done with the Human Target run of the later. The later. The second season of the later run. Not the first run, not the night, the 80s run, but the. The early 2000s. Yeah. We'll call it the current run. Honestly, the current 10 year. They could do another. Another series of this and like a reboot of it. And I would watch that too because it is.
353
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:13.000
Well, they could do the whole Tom King run without having the superheroes in. Would be a little bit weird if you've read it. But the. What we covered on the podcast, they could do.
354
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.000
They could do that.
355
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:28.000
That type of
storyline and have them not be superheroes. Yeah. And like you could have the jerk ex boyfriend, the femme fatale best friend. You could have all those things in the story.
356
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:29.000
Yeah.
357
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:36.000
So they wouldn't even necessarily need to put. Because you know, putting. They're not going to let them use He's. They're not going to let them use Guy Gardner there.
358
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.000
No.
359
00:32:37.000 --> 00:33:26.000
Because he's in the main stories. But anyway, we're back to this story. We're having a blah haha Justice League moment. Lots of dialogue, interaction and. And in classic blah haha, Justice League bad guy just literally like grabs the whole team and is like gonna defeat them and they all shoot him and they come up with a way to defeat the villain. It's. But right now they all bounce away out of his hand and they have to all regroup and they're gonna figure out how to beat the alien with something. We get a quick interlude back at the mansion. It looks like Dirk the Jerk is hacking into Booster's money It's not Jerk. The Jerk. How do you know?
360
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:28.000
Because.
361
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.000
Is it Mac?
362
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.000
I think it's Mac.
363
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.000
Well, how do you know it's. It's obscured. You can't tell it's obscured.
364
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:44.000
But, I mean, Mac was all about. In that last issue, about doing something when no one was looking.
365
00:33:44.000 --> 00:34:07.000
So there you go. Well, we get the whole team back. Rocket red, number seven. Mr. Miracle, Captain Adam, Booster and everybody. And Martian Manhunter. And we got a. A W. I don't know. K. I don't know what a helicopter station is. But they.
366
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.000
Andrew Wk.
367
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.000
They want the Justice League to save them.
368
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:13.000
Yeah.
369
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.000
And then we get a giant. Remember these ads? How much I didn't like them.
370
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:17.000
Yeah.
371
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:26.000
Get another Giant ad for Oxy. Oh, hey, Thing. Yeah, we got a whole ad targeted at making teenagers feel terrible about themselves, about their.
372
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:31.000
About their oily faces and. And. And T Zone. Yeah.
373
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:33.000
That's awesome.
374
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.000
Witch hazel. People just use witch hazel.
375
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.000
Kind of glad they probably don't have their products out there much anymore.
376
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:43.000
E Tree Oil. That's what I'm talking about. My sister.
377
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.000
I mean, we all. Stuff in the 80s.
378
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.000
I know we use this.
379
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:51.000
We did, but because they were whole. The whole ad. Ad campaign was designed to make you feel terrible about yourself.
380
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:55.000
Did it actually work? Did it. Did it make them go away?
381
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.000
No, they did not work for me.
382
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:05.000
No, it didn't. It didn't do anything. I mean, tea tree witch hazel, old remedies.
383
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:17.000
Well, Anyway, on page 13, the idea is to insert Booster into the monster's hole. It's right here.
384
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:22.000
I know it's right there. Make a hole for me and I'll go inside him.
385
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:28.000
And he expands his force field and makes the giant putty monster explode.
386
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.000
That's usually what happens.
387
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:42.000
And we get another classic Justice League. They're all standing around on the ground, and Blue Beetle's like, what a mess. And Mr. Miracle says, reminds me of Apocalypse.
388
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:43.000
Oh.
389
00:35:43.000 --> 00:36:34.000
Rocket says, an interplanetary. Interplanetary. Interplanetary. Can I say words? Interplanetary travel. I would like to try it sometimes. And Guy says, gosh, weren't you guys kind of rough on the big Guy? Everybody needs Giant, that Persona. And now Booster. But Booster snaps back into reality and is like, I gotta go get the warmongers that are trying to murder my sister. So we go back to Dimension X, and Goldstar is fighting the bad alien guys. And then they knock her out again. And they say they're going to terminate her Holy mountain. And Skeet is trying to run the show there, but she's not listening. But good news.
390
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.000
Yeah.
391
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:47.000
Booster appears out of nowhere and he mentions that he went back into the weird space and got his extra gauntlet back. So he's got both. So now he can eat up all the aliens.
392
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:48.000
Good.
393
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:51.000
The aliens show Booster that they are getting ready to invade.
394
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.000
Okay.
395
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:02.000
Like an army. And they're ready to pass through a gate. We get an ad for self defense so you can be prepared with your karate. Self defense for an alien invasion.
396
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.000
That good stuff?
397
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:27.000
Yeah, I mean, it's well, it's well timed and so it's. It's very important that we have that ad right there because if there is ever. By the way, did I show you that Gamma Rotters? Is that what this is here? Oh, what, more Dungeons and Dragons stuff?
398
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.000
I love that dnd, but I don't
399
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.000
think this is a different game. This is.
400
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.000
It's a different game.
401
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:39.000
Gam Rotters combat game with ruthless slugnoids ride high atop their monstrous bioborgs.
402
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.000
Bioborgs.
403
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.000
TSR was putting out everything there.
404
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:48.000
They were putting out everything.
I want to play a bioboard game.
405
00:37:48.000 --> 00:38:04.000
We get. Booster gets into the room. He's got to stop the invasion. He goes to a giant panel and Booster Gold Intelligence 31.
406
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:06.000
He rolls a 20 plus his.
407
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:34.000
Yeah, he rolls a 20. And even with the minus two on his intelligence, he still can't figure out this. So Skeet coaches him through and says, well, just go through the big giant orb thing and that'll stop the invasion. He does that and he stops the invasion. Nobody can go through. And so he grabs Goldstar and he's like, I'm going to take you through and. But there is a line I want to cover really quick.
408
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:35.000
Yeah.
409
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:52.000
Booster says, so I see. Let's make tracks before we're buried. And Michelle says, you just can't ever be subtle, can you? And Booster says, absolutely not. It's one of my better traits. And Skeets goes, that's debatable.
410
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:53.000
Yes.
411
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.000
So Skeets is tired of Booster today.
412
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:55.000
Yeah.
413
00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:25.000
And now we get. They're ready to go through the portal, but Michelle stops for a second and she says, I know exactly where the switch is and we need your force field to protect the gateway because the place is crumbling, so it could go any second. So the last thing I just need to do is get stranded. So I'm going to run over here and flip the switch. And then a cable falls down
414
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.000
and
415
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:43.000
we don't get a zap or a thwack or a consume none. We just get a lot of Kirby Crackle and a burnt body as Gold Star is no more gone. And Greg was sad.
416
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:56.000
I was sad. I, like, I knew this was coming. And I was like. As soon as I realized what episode, what issues we were reading for these last two episodes, I was like, I hate these issues.
417
00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:02.000
Yeah. I mean, it's. Well, I'll talk about that a minute. Let me finish up the story. So we've got great issues, but I
418
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.000
don't like the fact that Gold Star dies.
419
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:19.000
Yeah. I mean, the art here is awesome. Booster gets blown through the thing. He's got a piece of her uniform he's holding on to. He's sopping down there. The art sequence really does make you feel a lot for a character who's barely there.
420
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:34.000
I hate them because it hurts so much. And that's. That's the reality. Like, they. They did their job. They made me feel for these characters on the page.
421
00:40:34.000 --> 00:41:11.000
What I also think, like, the funeral scene and the next scene is really powerful because they really cement it. Now there is no body, so it is still be alive body. But, yeah, it doesn't seem great. And they go through the funeral and Black Canary laments, if only we could have been there with Booster, his sister might still be alive. And Dr. Fate says, sometimes Black Canary fate cannot be denied. Which seems like a pretty definitive statement for a comic.
422
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:24.000
Very. And it sucks. And it's. But it. I. I think I don't like it so much because the reality of it is so true. Yeah. Well.
423
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:39.000
And they do a touching moment here where Dr. Fate moves her tombstone into an alternate dimension so it can sit there undisturbed, because they're not going to have a tombstone that says she lived from X time to y time, 500 years before she was born.
424
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:41.000
Yeah.
425
00:41:41.000 --> 00:42:39.000
And there is some finality to it, too. I mean, I have some thoughts a little bit different than yours, but. So I knew, obviously I knew Goldstar was going to die at some point. I didn't know how or when. I was actually a little bit disappointed. But then I wanted it to be some heroic death. That's how it kind of been built up in my mind. She was out fighting with Booster Gold. But then I also liked it for the same reason you said, obviously it's shocking. It's jarring. Yeah. I did feel like the character was just there and faded to die. Right. Like, you don't get enough of the character, and all of a sudden she puts on the costume and then all of a sudden she's dead. I think the strangest thing about her death that is really unsettling, though, is the fact that he's. They're fighting these silver age, weird, interdimensional alien things.
426
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:40.000
Yeah.
427
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:50.000
And that's what. You know. And she's undone by their lair. Like, I. They weren't characters I took seriously enough for a death to happen in the story.
428
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:51.000
And that's.
429
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.000
So when a death does happen in the story, that's what really gets you.
430
00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:26.000
I think that. I mean. And in all honesty, I mean, I hate to put the reality on it, but, I mean, that's what does it in real life. Sometimes it's such. Sometimes it's so stupid how things happen or how you don't expect it like that.
431
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:27.000
Right.
432
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:49.000
And that's, I think, like, on a personal level, it's one of those things where you're reading this and you're just like, he. He wanted so much to have this connection brought back. He wanted to be with his sister. He wanted all this. This family and this stuff. And. And she wanted us.
433
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000
And.
434
00:43:49.000 --> 00:44:02.000
Well, but. But I mean, really, it came down to. I mean, you can have all that, but the reality is that it's nothing if you don't have the people around you that make it worthwhile.
435
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:04.000
When he has Team Booster now. Right.
436
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:10.000
But he has that realization at that moment where he's like, it's not worth it.
437
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.000
Yeah. Well, now we're going to start tearing it down one piece at a time, Right?
438
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.000
Yeah.
439
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:54.000
So Michelle has died, and we know somebody's in his headquarters stealing his money. So, Scrab, how far do we break this down? Well, on that note, we will follow up this story. Not with Booster Gold. Yes, 22. But we have to find out. In the dialogue that I skipped over, they referenced that he was beefing with Superman and apparently happened in Action comics. Action Comics 594. Got to go back and find out what's going on for next week. I don't even know if I have Action Comics 594. We may have to read that one digitally.
440
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.000
Oh, man. That's fine. That's fine. That's what it's there for.
441
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:14.000
That is what it's there for. So I will. I will go back and find an Action Comics 594 for us to read. And then after that, we'll be back to finish off the Booster series because we'll be into Millennium. Do you want to do a review of Millennium?
442
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.000
I hear it's coming. I don't.
443
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:19.000
Yeah, I don't know.
444
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:24.000
I. I hear there's a lot of Other things that listeners out there have been asking for.
445
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:32.000
Okay, yeah, I can summarize. Millennium. It's great.
446
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:48.000
We can always come back to it, but I know that. Well, anyway, listeners have been, have been itching for a few other things. We had a couple, a couple requests for, for various books. So maybe we might go down that journey.
447
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:59.000
Well, good news. You get a couple more ads in here. We get Underworld by Robert Lauren Fleming and Ernie Colon before Robert Lauren Fleming's doing a bunch of, of fragging.
448
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.000
Yeah,
449
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:14.000
and we get another wasteland. I don't know. Dell. Close. Anyway, it's interesting that DC is putting out all these miniseries and things.
450
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.000
Well, I mean.
451
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:21.000
All right, well, you can order two free months of DC Comics and, and get that.
452
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.000
There you go.
453
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:26.000
Fantastic. And we're going to put this one away.
454
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:36.000
All right, Put it away. We can come back and finish up the, the run.
455
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:50.000
Come back and you. Action. Then we'll finish up the run. And of course, when you're thinking about finishing things, you must be thinking about interdimensional Alex.
456
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:51.000
Oh, yeah.
457
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:58.000
A cyborg of two worlds on Kickstarter. Now hit the button and maybe it will be finished someday.
458
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:03.000
It. Well, I was gonna say, is it finishing or starting? We don't know.
459
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:11.000
We don't know, but it's interdimensional Alex and Alex of two dimensions.
460
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:18.000
Two different Alexes in two different places doing two different things with two different faces. We don't know what it is, but we know one could be a lot
461
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:28.000
of Alex, but we don't know. But if you will never know if you don't go to the link we post and go to the Kickstarter and tell it to let you alert you when it launches.
462
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.000
What else?
463
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:36.000
And I think, I mean, that's really all I have right now. I mean, you don't have anything in the hopper right now.
464
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:49.000
I don't have anything in the hopper right now. I mean, I, I, I always promote what Travis and Brett are doing. I know that we got some other stuff coming up, but at the moment, that is everything.
465
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:55.000
If Dan can get his stuff together, I've got a couple of creators lined up for Funny Book Friends.
466
00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:04.000
Oh, my gosh, listeners, do you want to hear Funny Book Friends? Because I hear that's going to be like taking over the spot.
467
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:19.000
Oh, no, it's not. But Dan, Dan will need time to edit, too, which is okay. That's a whole, whole different kind of deal. But eventually we'll do something and. Yeah, so maybe even more content. Crazy Content.
468
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:20.000
Crazy.
469
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.000
Dan's slacking on the shorts, too. So I've got.
470
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:29.000
I noticed that when I was going through my reels, I didn't see any good stuff out there. And I was like, what's going on?
471
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.000
Well, if we don't say good things, I can't let good stuff out there.
472
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:37.000
I say good stuff all the time, Dan. You just let it slide.
473
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:43.000
Well, on that note, yeah, it is dinner time for dogs. Dinner time for Greg's.
474
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:44.000
Dinner time.
475
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.000
Dinner time for Anne's.
476
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.000
Yeah. Dinner time for Dan, Time for Juliet's.
477
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.000
And Mr. Toa needs to go outside.
478
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.000
Mr. Toa needs to go outside.
479
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.000
Yes. So is he doing.
480
00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:58.000
I gotta go dance?
481
00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.000
A boy and girl go outside.
482
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.000
All right.
483
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:30.000
But on that note, we appreciate you being here. Hopefully you had another fun episode. Unfortunately, it ends on a side note with it does no more gold star. But, you know, life takes those crazy turns sometimes. And on Funny Book Forensics, we're here to take those crazy turns with you. So, yeah, come on back now. And if you're really awesome, you'll immediately leave this podcast and listen to My oh My by Macklemore. Goodbye.
484
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.000
You should do it.
485

You should.
