1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Got to talk fast. 
Got to talk fast. 

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,440
Got to talk faster, faster, 
faster. 

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,640
Got to talk fast. 
Yeah, it's called pegging, and 

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:17,160
it's heterosexual. 
I'm. 

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,240
I'm right, by the way. 
That's not, that's not like a 

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,160
joke. 
Joke where? 

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,160
It's wrong. 
I know. 

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,280
I mean look, if God didn't want 
us to peg, he wouldn't put the G

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440
spot in the fucking butt, OK? 
What's the welcome? 

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Do it. 
Do it. 

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,960
Welcome to an oral review of 
Archie comic Sonic the Hedgehog.

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Acknowledging that the language 
of politics is extremely 

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280
confusing, frustrating, and 
pedantic. 

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,360
Most of the time people don't 
know what they're talking about,

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600
or worse, they know too much 
about what they're talking about

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,600
and don't say anything at all. 
But knowing how to navigate and 

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,840
adapt that language to different
people without totally prop 

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
compromising your values is a 
very useful skill. 

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,599
I'm Nick and except for this 
intro, I wrote the script. 

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And I'm Dominic, and except for 
this intro, I haven't read any 

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,800
of today's script. 
Sorry for the late episodes, 

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160
I've been very very busy with 
work and I have not been able to

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,760
write. 
Luckily Dominic has really 

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,440
stepped up and did some live 
streams for us on the channel. 

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
We appreciate that, Dominic. 
Great job. 

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,680
That was a lot. 
They were a lot of fun. 

27
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,920
I enjoyed it. 
It's, it takes a lot out of me 

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
because I'm going deep back into
like my college days learning 

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,560
music theory and all that stuff 
and. 

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,840
He was just high and drunk the 
entire time, so he's really 

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,040
reaching. 
High and drunk on knowledge like

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,160
that music theory. 
In theory, he was drunk and 

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,920
high. 
Look, I spent, I spent 10s of 

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,880
thousands of dollars on that, on
that degree. 

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,440
So someone's going to learn from
it, right? 

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Hey, man, I like that threat. 
It's a good threat. 

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Let's teach our audience music 
theory or else. 

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Yeah, right. 
I shouldn't say this out loud, 

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,200
but like that should be another 
thing is just at the end of 

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,199
every episode you just teach me 
something new. 

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,800
That's kind of like the intro 
like for instance, like Speaking

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,920
of the intro, I was mostly 
coming at that from like the the

43
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,160
leftist infighting that's very 
prevalent always like how, oh, 

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,960
there's oh, I'm a Social 
Democrat. 

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Oh, are you a democratic 
socialist? 

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
And then like proceed to fight 
for three hours while a fascist 

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,960
shoots both of you. 
That's that is that is basically

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,240
what has been happening for the 
longest time. 

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,000
It had an uptick in the Trump 
years because you know, Trump 

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,640
and then here in 2025 in the 
second Trump administration, it 

51
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,800
is once again taking taking 
root. 

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640
But you can you can also 
extrapolate from that intro, 

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,200
like we live in Chicagoland and 
there is a obviously it's a very

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,000
quote, UN quote blue, you know, 
area, but there's still a lot of

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,040
conservative conservatives, you 
know, trademarked period. 

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,600
But also there's just 
conservative thought in general 

57
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
where it's like, hey, maybe 
someone he really hates Trump, 

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,120
but they are totally in love 
with the police and they trust 

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720
them no matter what. 
Learning how to adapt to 

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,480
different segments of the 
political spectrum while talking

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,640
to people without being, you 
know, finger wagging, talking to

62
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:21,840
them about the revolution or 
whatever the whole time. 

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Being able to approach that at 
different levels and just be 

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,160
approachable can be very helpful
to actually making a difference 

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,120
and reaching out and making 
actual change. 

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,840
So there's there's that aspect 
as well. 

67
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Yeah. 
Nick's tired on I am educated 

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,520
so. 
This is going to be a rough 

69
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,240
episode for me. 
I worked like 10 days straight 

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
or something, or 11 days I don't
know. 

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,280
He was giving me updates 
throughout the week, yeah. 

72
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Yeah, And then yesterday was 
technically my first day off and

73
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,920
I tried writing an episode and I
just didn't. 

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160
And after I finally acknowledged
that I wasn't going to be able 

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120
to write it, I went and watched 
The New Mission Possible, which 

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,760
I, I don't know. 
I mean, my very quick review of 

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,200
The New Mission Possible 'cause 
I Know everyone cares is I 

78
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
personally adore it. 
I think it's a brilliant movie. 

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,960
If you were going to ask me if 
if if that was not a Tom Cruise 

80
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640
movie and if that was not a 
Mission Impossible movie, would 

81
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,200
I still have that opinion? 
My answer is maybe because I 

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,480
love Tom Cruise and I love all 
of his movies. 

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,160
It's very anime. 
This is actually, this might 

84
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,360
sell you Dominic, who's who's 
the director. 

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,360
It's still Mccurry. 
I think it's the the the guy 

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,880
filming at the cinematographer. 
I think he is like very anime 

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,760
with how he like did. 
He do. 

88
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Creedments and stuff. 
No, no, no. 

89
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,840
No, you were talking to Michael 
B Jordan. 

90
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,920
Michael B Jordan was very, Oh 
yeah, anime fan and he was 

91
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,360
straight up like, yeah, I just 
lifted a lot of shit from anime 

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,760
and did that in my movie. 
No, because like McCreary had a 

93
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,200
different cinematographer in the
other movies and had the same 

94
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,560
editor for like the last four 
movies. 

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,120
So I don't think it is the 
editing and I don't think it was

96
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,640
the direction. 
I think it was mainly the 

97
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:34,520
cinematographer. 
And there's just some very Yeah,

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,320
yeah, yeah. 
You might have to edit this down

99
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,880
so it's more coherent, but I 
honestly think Mission 

100
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,160
Impossible, the new one is like 
Metal Gear Solid 2 or I 

101
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
shouldn't say Metal Gear Solid 
2, because Metal Gear Solid 2 is

102
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,240
my favorite video game of all 
time. 

103
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
It is a worse version of Metal 
Gear Solid. 

104
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Yeah. 
But like it it it's very much 

105
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,480
lifting a lot of ideas from like
the series. 

106
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,160
I don't know if it's true or not
if they did, but it feels the 

107
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,640
the core concept of the movie is
that there's an AI that is 

108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,840
trying to control the world and 
they're trying to go up against 

109
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:19,120
a God essentially. 
And so like the plot itself is 

110
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,440
already very anime because 
they're essentially trying to 

111
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,560
kill a God. 
It's AJ. 

112
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Is this person of interest? 
Is this? 

113
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Yes, yes, thank you. 
Yes, it's a very person of 

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,680
interest. 
It's very. 

115
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760
That's why I'm like, I love this
movie, but I acknowledge that it

116
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,400
might not be everyone's cup of 
tea. 

117
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,320
And. 
So Part 2 opens with 911. 

118
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,720
Yeah, 911 was the most important
thing that happened in mission 

119
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680
possible. 
It's the one one time Tom Cruise

120
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240
failed. 
Yeah, it was a yeah, flashback 

121
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,040
to the first Mission Impossible 
or whatever, or where it's like 

122
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
ADH Tom Cruise, and he was there
at 9:11. 

123
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:02,840
Well, it's funny you say 
flashback because they do see, 

124
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,720
you can talk about Mission 
Impossible wakes me up. 

125
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,040
I'm starting to feel the energy.
You start saying flashbacks and 

126
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,320
it's very interesting because 
there's a lot of flashbacks in 

127
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,080
this movie because it's like the
very last movie. 

128
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,040
And they're like, this is a 
reference to like one. 

129
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,800
This is a reference to three. 
This is a. 

130
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,120
Reference to two. 
Was that coherent? 

131
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,680
Was that cogent or was that kind
of forced? 

132
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,000
That specific style and how they
did it felt anime to me. 

133
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,280
And so to me it feels forced 
because I don't like when they 

134
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,440
do it in anime. 
I don't like it when there's 

135
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,800
certain ways you can do it, but 
it feels like every time 

136
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,040
something happened, they're 
like, yeah, the rabbits foot. 

137
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280
And then they flashback to 
stealing it in three and it's 

138
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,800
like. 
Elude, okay, okay, okay, because

139
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,280
I know in James Bond Specter, 
the second to last Daniel Craig 

140
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,040
one, they tried to do a big wrap
up of everything where it was 

141
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
like, hey, everything is 
connected from the beginning of 

142
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,360
the Daniel Craig James Bond 
years, but it was kind of forced

143
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,640
on top of the spectre being a 
lacklustre movie. 

144
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280
So they were like, we can't end 
on this. 

145
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760
We got to do No Time to Die and 
then they did No Time to Die and

146
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,640
it was, it was a lot better. 
I haven't seen Spectre no Time 

147
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,360
to Die, so I gotta, I gotta 
watch those. 

148
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,400
So yeah, my my, my, my opinion 
is if you liked the last Mission

149
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Impossible movie, then 100% see 
it because it's just more of the

150
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440
same. 
You'll also like the last 

151
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Mission Impossible, The Yeah. 
Impossible. 

152
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,559
Movie. 
If you didn't like the last 

153
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Mission Impossible movie, don't 
see this movie. 

154
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,039
And if you were indifferent, I'd
wait until you know it's on 

155
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:43,720
streaming and then watch it, 
Yeah. 

156
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,160
OK, sounds good. 
Let's let's talk. 

157
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,720
Hey, let's, let's, let's pivot 
gears to the real Mission 

158
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Impossible, which is getting 
through all of these Sonic 

159
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:54,400
comics. 
Good, good. 

160
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:55,720
I'm proud of you. 
That was good. 

161
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,280
We we are reading Archie Comics.
Son of the hedgehog #32 release 

162
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,120
or rather cover date March 1996.
How old were you in 1996, Nick? 

163
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:15,040
In March 96, I AM 54 years old. 
I am two years old, actually, 

164
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,640
like on the dot. 
I am two years old. 

165
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,040
I didn't know there was I didn't
know there was that big of a 

166
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,440
gap. 
I thought it was a lot closer 

167
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,200
our. 
Age. 

168
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,680
Yeah. 
No, no, no. 

169
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:27,920
No, I'm. 
So much older than you. 

170
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,320
I'm an old man. 
Blast from the Past Part 1 

171
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Written by Angelo De Cesare and 
penciled by Art Mcwhinney We 

172
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800
open on the Freedom Fighters in 
a cold icy desert. 

173
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,400
They are ice climbing when they 
are suddenly ambushed by some 

174
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,200
SWAT bots. 
All the Freedom Fighters make it

175
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,760
up the Cliff except 1. 
Sally, a SWAT bot with his 

176
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,640
robotic precision aim, shot at 
the rope that Sally was using to

177
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,600
climb up the mountain. 
The rope gets blasted and Sally 

178
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,360
is now untethered and falling to
her certain doom. 

179
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Tails flies under her, swoops 
her up, and flies Sally to 

180
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880
safety. 
The team starts running away, 

181
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,560
with Sonic asking how on earth 
the SWAT bots found them. 

182
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Just then, Sonic notices a robot
dog with them. 

183
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,280
They tracked us with a robo dog.
Robo dog? 

184
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,600
What? 
That's Mutsky? 

185
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,400
Buns chimes in, asking if Sonic 
knows the robot dog. 

186
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Mutsky is my dog Bunny. 
He was captured and roboticized 

187
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,960
at the same time as my Uncle 
Chuck. 

188
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,560
He was my best friend and the 
only dog that I like better than

189
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,280
a chili dog. 
He even saved my life once. 

190
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Robot Mutsky is charging the 
Freedom Fighters when Sonic 

191
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,160
holds up his hand like Neo 
stopping bullets in the Matrix. 

192
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,840
Mutsky, stop, it's me. 
Mutsky, stop, it's me. 

193
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Sonic, do you remember? 
I have my other arm behind my 

194
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,280
like I imagine it's not on the 
panel, but I imagine for our 

195
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,760
listeners, Sonic is like 
fighting Mutsky while saying 

196
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,320
this and he's like he. 
He he has like sunglasses just 

197
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,320
like up here and he's got a 
trench coat. 

198
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280
In the climax of the first 
Matrix movie, where Neo does and

199
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,400
then my. 
Kosky sisters read this and 

200
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,760
they're like, we're stealing 
this. 

201
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,480
My favorite idea, my favorite 
shot in like probably one of my 

202
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,200
favorite shots in all the film 
mystery like sequences is Neo 

203
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,240
doing the fucking one arm behind
his back and just Agent Smith. 

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,120
Like owning Agent Smith with one
arm. 

205
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,600
Anyway Musky stop it's me Sonic,
don't you remember? 

206
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Musky let's out a robotic bark 
and stops in his tracks. 

207
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,800
The 2 lock eyes and Musky turns 
around and leaves with the other

208
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,040
SWAT bots who have stopped their
pursuit for some reason. 

209
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,400
The Freedom Fighters continue 
onward to find Uncle Chuck. 

210
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,240
The Freedom Fighters are shocked
to see him. 

211
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,160
I called off that pot attack. 
Sonic, you forgot. 

212
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,080
Did you forget the Sean 
guttering voice that we agreed 

213
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,120
on for Uncle Chuck? 
I was, I was expecting like a 

214
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,240
like a Scrooge Mcduck or 
something, or something, like 

215
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:20,120
something rich, you know? 
Though my mind is no longer 

216
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280
under Robotnik's control, I 
still have access to some of his

217
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,640
secret codes and equipment. 
But I'm afraid the same can't be

218
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,960
shed for poor Mutsky's mind. 
He's still a bot, Sonic, and 

219
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,000
since he knows your scent better
than anyone, he's your most 

220
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,040
dangerous foe. 
Sonic ignores Uncle Chuck's 

221
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,960
warnings, saying that he'd never
believe that about Mutsky. 

222
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Antoine quickly quickly tries to
rally the troops and continue 

223
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,840
their trek before the SWAT bots 
return. 

224
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,320
Antoine starts marching and 
accidentally steps off a Cliff, 

225
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,160
tumbling hundreds of feet. 
He safely lands on a pile of 

226
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,840
snow, but before him is a large 
caveman encased in ice. 

227
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
The caveman is holding a club 
and a paintbrush. 

228
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760
He looks like a very 
stereotypical caveman but with 

229
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,040
pointy ears almost resembling a 
bat. 

230
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,160
The rest of the freedom fighters
hop down and start examining the

231
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,560
caveman. 
His scientific name is Mobus. 

232
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:23,480
Orish Day Champions. 
I'm getting mondo bad vibes from

233
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,880
this, we should leave. 
I I have the same reaction when 

234
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,440
I read that. 
I'm getting mondo bad vibes from

235
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,720
this. 
We should leave. 

236
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,920
And where we found him. 
Roeder, seeing an opportunity to

237
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,720
play God, says this. 
Look, I disagree, Sonic. 

238
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,080
It's possible that the ice 
preserve the Mobian. 

239
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,840
I think the humane thing to do 
is to take him back to Knothole 

240
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,200
and try to and try to revive 
him. 

241
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,640
End of Part 1. 
Can I just get like a a a real 

242
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720
good delivery of Mondo Bad and 
Sonic's voice? 

243
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,400
And Sonic's voice, yeah, that 
that line or just mondo bad. 

244
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Just mondo bad. 
Mondo bad. 

245
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,040
Yeah, OK. 
We could use that for something.

246
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,960
We could. 
And that's just I'm going to use

247
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,360
that for something, I don't know
what. 

248
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Yeah, yeah. 
That's too good if we ever do 

249
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,480
streams again. 
Like do streams, You know, like 

250
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,760
the alerts? 
Oh, we will. 

251
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,960
That's in our. 
Future I'll do I will set that 

252
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,840
and record that. 
Well, I have a soundboard and 

253
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:34,800
I'm like, I kind of just want. 
There's not much to say in this 

254
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,280
first issue. 
There's a few things I want to. 

255
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,680
There's a couple things. 
But go ahead, there's a couple 

256
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,720
things. 
The very first thing, I think 

257
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,280
it's a stretch to look at that 
dog and think that's Mutsky. 

258
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,320
I agree that dog. 
Looks nothing like Mutsky though

259
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,760
with with Uncle Chuck it makes 
sense because he just he looks 

260
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,240
exactly the same down to he has 
a robotic moustache. 

261
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Mutsky like the the human form. 
The the animal form of Mutsky is

262
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,440
this cute, lovable looking like 
yellow dog with some brown hair,

263
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,800
almost like golden retriever 
esque, and then definitely a 

264
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,040
mutt. 
But you know what I mean. 

265
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,280
I mean, has to be a mutt. 
His name's Mutsky. 

266
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,120
And then this, this dog is 
literally silver and blue and 

267
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,320
looks nothing like him. 
So I don't know how he jumped to

268
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,800
that conclusion. 
Yeah, it's, it's contrived in 

269
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,240
that way. 
I have. 

270
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,160
I think the freedom fighters are
too. 

271
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,880
We'll say chill about the fact 
that Uncle Chuck just happened 

272
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,360
to be there. 
Yeah, that was kind of weird 

273
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,160
because he's not supposed to be 
in the field. 

274
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,120
He is definitely more of a well 
again, you were. 

275
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Surprised he was there. 
Yeah, also that. 

276
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,000
So like what? 
Yeah, that that that came out of

277
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,560
left field for me. 
And you know what I'm going to 

278
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,320
say when he says. 
But I'm afraid the same can't be

279
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,920
said for poor Mutsky. 
I'm just going to say, Uncle 

280
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,760
Chuck looks kind of evil in that
panel. 

281
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,320
He does. 
I don't know why he's glowing so

282
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,680
much. 
I don't know what that is. 

283
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,520
He's literally glowing and he's 
got kind of some evil eyes going

284
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,480
on. 
So maybe, maybe his 

285
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,760
consciousness isn't all that, 
you know, I'm just saying he's 

286
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,760
showing up randomly where the 
freedom fighters are without 

287
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:29,920
like notice and he apparently 
has control of the swap box 

288
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,560
because he was able to make them
go away. 

289
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,000
I'm just saying maybe I'm called
Chuck as a spy. 

290
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,080
On a he, he is compromised on a 
cellular level, right? 

291
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Exactly like holistically he is 
compromised. 

292
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,720
So I I don't understand. 
I mean, look, I do understand 

293
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200
why Sonic was quick to because 
you know, that's that is a 

294
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,360
common weakness is to is loved 
ones and family. 

295
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,160
So I get that. 
But the lack of any kind of 

296
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,400
vetting or any kind of no one 
going hold up. 

297
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,640
Do we trust Uncle Chuck because 
this is the first time Bunny is 

298
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,520
a special case because her mind 
was never fully transformed. 

299
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,880
It was it was just the the limbs
and torso. 

300
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,800
We technically don't know that 
she might have a robot brain. 

301
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:28,400
I think in the issue this might 
be getting too into the was. 

302
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,400
Her head was her was her head 
sticking out the entire time I. 

303
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,680
Think it was, I don't double 
check. 

304
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Saying that, I think I agree. 
I'm pretty sure you're right. 

305
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Yeah, I think that's what it I 
can confirm in the edit, but I I

306
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,720
think that's what it was. 
Now they knowing this comic, 

307
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800
they could easily reckon that 
but. 

308
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Yeah, of course. 
For the most part, I I Bunny I I

309
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,640
feel safe about Uncle Chuck bat 
mondo bad vibes right now. 

310
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Mondo bad yeah, that that's and 
then my last thing is just I 

311
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,320
like I like Rotor's quickness to
just be like, let's just sub 

312
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,840
freeze this dude and see what 
happens. 

313
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,320
Yeah. 
You know, maybe he's got like a 

314
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,440
disease or something that will 
spread. 

315
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,400
First and foremost, that second 
of all. 

316
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Or or they have a disease that 
will kill the caveman. 

317
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,360
Yes, that is actually the more 
likely thing to happen. 

318
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,520
Well, maybe not, I actually 
don't know. 

319
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,240
But it's it is. 
It's dangerous either way. 

320
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,320
And the plot of many science 
fiction movies. 

321
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,800
But yeah, it's, it's kind of 
crazy. 

322
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,720
I love it that that's Roeder. 
Roeder's pretty OG. 

323
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240
He's pretty legit. 
You know what that's He's done 

324
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,480
that before though, right? 
He's just reckless with with his

325
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,280
science. 
Yeah. 

326
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,800
I yeah, I feel I can't think of 
anything right off the bat, but 

327
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,000
yeah, I think so. 
And I appreciate, I kind of 

328
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,360
appreciate that as a character 
trait because that if that is 

329
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,000
consistent, which it feels like 
it's consistent, that's kind of 

330
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
a cool thing about Roeder. 
I like that. 

331
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,320
That's like his weakness and I'm
cool. 

332
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,440
Like that's a cool character 
thing that I appreciate. 

333
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,600
Yeah, and and I mean people need
weaknesses, so. 

334
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Cliffhanger. 
The movie came out in 1983. 

335
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Sorry, Sylvester Stallone. 
And I, I don't think it's 

336
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,640
emphasized enough just how 
influential that opening scene 

337
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,920
is because I used to see it all 
the time, referenced all the 

338
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,200
time. 
And a lot of other media, 

339
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:25,120
including like, I think it was 
in the second Naked Gun movie, 

340
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,400
if not the third. 
But I distinctly remember that, 

341
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,160
and it's been parodied a lot 
because that does that scene of 

342
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,640
Sylvester. 
School, the opening scene of 

343
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Cliffhanger, if you haven't seen
it, it's a banger. 

344
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,840
I mean, banger is just a banger,
but the opening scene is 

345
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,800
definitely the thing you want to
watch from that movie. 

346
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,520
I I would need to watch it 
again, but I remember that scene

347
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,480
specifically but that. 
Man, I have it. 

348
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,600
You can borrow it whenever I get
back from Houston. 

349
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,640
There we go, blast from the past
Part 2. 

350
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,440
We are in Knothole village. 
Roeder has taken a glaciator 

351
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,400
from Robotnik, a device that 
shoots a ray and turns 

352
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,320
everything into ice. 
He has reversed the ray to melt 

353
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,520
all the ice around the caveman, 
who has been given the nickname 

354
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,120
Moby. 
This process is going to take 48

355
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,200
hours, a little slow for Sonic. 
He's getting ready to leave for 

356
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400
the day to pass some time when 
he accidentally bumps into the 

357
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,280
glaciator, boosting the 
firepower of the device, 

358
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040
instantly melting the ice around
the caveman. 

359
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,600
The caveman moves. 
He opens his mouth and lets her 

360
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,600
yell and destroys the glaciator,
ensuring he'll never be put into

361
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,280
an ice prison ever again. 
Moby the caveman runs outside, 

362
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:40,960
swinging his club at everything 
and everyone. 

363
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,240
Buns quickly grabs the caveman 
with one arm and puts him up in 

364
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,960
a tree, once again proving she's
the strongest freedom fighter. 

365
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,600
The Freedom Fighters are trying 
to figure out what to do with 

366
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,400
the caveman stuck in the tree 
when Roeder steps up and says 

367
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Moby is way out of place in our 
modern world. 

368
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,880
It's got to be a total shock to 
him. 

369
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Give him a chance to adjust and 
I bet you'll see another side of

370
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Moby. 
Well, now wait. 

371
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Moby was holding a paintbrush 
when we found him. 

372
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,320
Maybe he's one of those cave 
painters and maybe art is the 

373
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,160
way to communicate with him. 
I'll be right back. 

374
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,680
Buns runs off and returns with 
paint supplies. 

375
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,200
She paints a picture of Buns, 
Sonic, and Moby holding hands. 

376
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,960
Look here, sugar, I drew this 
symbol for friendship, 

377
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,400
understand? 
We all just want to be your 

378
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,760
friends. 
Moby grabs the drawing. 

379
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,560
He was reminded of his old 
family. 

380
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520
He had a partner, a child, and a
dog. 

381
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,600
Sadness flashes across Moby's 
face and he runs off into the 

382
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Great Forest of Knothole. 
Roeder hypothesizes that Moby 

383
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,040
was going back to The Cave where
the Freedom Fighters originally 

384
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,600
found him. 
Sonic chases after him since 

385
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,360
he's the fastest dude in town. 
End of Part 2. 

386
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,920
I think it's really dumb that 
they felt the need to establish 

387
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,880
that the caveman is a cave 
painter and that's the way to 

388
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,200
communicate with him. 
Because art is a universal 

389
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,480
language and so is music. 
It's the one thing we don't need

390
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,000
to translate between people. 
It's the one thing we know that 

391
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,200
Cavemen knew how to do. 
Yeah, right. 

392
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:28,560
Proof that they did that shit in
caves. 

393
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,960
Out of everything else that 
we've implied, the painting is 

394
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,840
the one thing we actually have 
concrete evidence of that we 

395
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,040
know that they can do. 
Yeah, yeah, absolutely insane 

396
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,200
that that was my huge call out 
on this one. 

397
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,280
I also don't understand why we 
needed this whole rigmarole 

398
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,200
about why it's like hey the the 
glaciator takes 48 hours to do 

399
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,160
oops I bumped it now it happened
instantaneously. 

400
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Like what was it? 
Just just have it do it 

401
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,400
instantaneously. 
I. 

402
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,680
Think it's just adding to the 
idea that Sonic is careless. 

403
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,760
I'm OK with that. 
OK sure, it's just adding more 

404
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,400
character to Sonic. 
I support it. 

405
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,360
I guess so. 
I don't think, I don't think it 

406
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,040
was necessary, but I, I I can, I
can see that point. 

407
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,440
Yeah, and, and again, I'm, I'm, 
I'm glad that Buns is kind of a 

408
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,720
central character kind of on 
this one. 

409
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,680
Maybe, maybe not central, but 
she's she's doing stuff in this 

410
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,080
one. 
She comes up with the plan. 

411
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,400
She puts the caveman up in the 
tree like this is the first time

412
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,320
in a very long time where I feel
like Buns has been useful, which

413
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,200
I makes me happy because we need
more of that. 

414
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Yeah, the last time it was her 
being chased down by that bus. 

415
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Written by Robotnik. 
Driven by Robotnik. 

416
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
So that's that wasn't too, too 

417
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:54,280
long ago, but it was it's enough
where it's it's like which 

418
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,320
because she's been physically 
absent, completely absent in 

419
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,320
some other issues and it just 
feels weird Anyway, we've we've 

420
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,600
hammered that point a lot in 
previous episodes, but 

421
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,200
definitely acknowledging it, 
acknowledging it that she's not 

422
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520
always muscle like she's 
communicating through art. 

423
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,240
And that's really cool because 
she is canonically she is a hair

424
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,080
stylist as well. 
That's her other side of her, 

425
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,320
which I think is interesting. 
It's like, OK, she's artistic, 

426
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,400
but also the strongest mother 
ever in this whole thing. 

427
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,320
So there's that as well. 
How do we just feel about the 

428
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,360
setup so far for the cavemans? 
Like, do you do you think this 

429
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:31,000
is? 
It's. 

430
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,280
Yeah. 
It's, I mean, we'll talk about 

431
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,360
it more as a whole after the 
next one, I think. 

432
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:43,320
But it's, it's fine. 
It's very cliched, but I'm like,

433
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,040
I don't know it. 
It's exactly what I expect from 

434
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,720
one of these kind of Looney 
Tunes esque issues. 

435
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,240
So it. 
Feels like that, yeah. 

436
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,600
I don't. 
I can't pin, I can't pinpoint an

437
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,120
example right now, but I feel 
like thawing A caveman out of 

438
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,120
ice and you have a caveman out 
of time. 

439
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Feels strangely familiar as an 
exact plot in Other in other 

440
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,080
cartoons. 
Was done in like Looney Tune. 

441
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,160
It's a very, I've definitely 
seen it in many things, so. 

442
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,160
The first thing I can remember 
is Dexter's lab, actually 

443
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,000
Dexter's laboratory. 
I don't know if you watched it. 

444
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,040
There was that actually that one
was done really well where it's 

445
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,480
the episode of Dexter in his 
hubris is like, I want to find 

446
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280
all the great inventors. 
Well, who's the 1st inventor? 

447
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Oh caveman they invented fire 
and then just brings a caveman 

448
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,720
to to present day and the 
caveman properly is like with 

449
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,280
the shit and then just starts 
hitting everything because it's 

450
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,040
a caveman and I enjoyed that. 
There we go blast from the past 

451
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Part 3. 
Sonic is dashing all over 

452
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760
looking for Moby when he 
stumbles upon him surrounded by 

453
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,520
SWAT bots. 
Sonic after 31 issues of using 

454
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,040
the Sonic spin to get out of 
every situation, tries a new 

455
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,560
move. 
He puts his arms out and starts 

456
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,600
spinning in place like a 
helicopter blade. 

457
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,040
He spins so fast he makes a 
tornado, picking up all the SWAT

458
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,480
bots and throwing them far away.
However, all his spinning has 

459
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280
made him dizzy, and he 
accidentally crashes into a 

460
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,240
wall, knocking him out. 
As he's knocked out, a familiar 

461
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800
face walks up. 
It's Mutsky. 

462
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,440
Mutsky starts running towards 
Sonic. 

463
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,880
Moby, seeing this from afar, 
quickly grabs a rope, ties it to

464
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,400
a tree, and swings towards 
Sonic, rescuing him much like 

465
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Tarzan would. 
Mutsky was running so fast he 

466
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
runs straight into a wall, 
knocking himself out. 

467
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,880
Moby finds a large rock that 
he's going to smash on Mutsky's 

468
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,360
head when Sonic wakes up and 
tells him to stop. 

469
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Sonic then grabs a stick and 
draws an image of Mutsky and 

470
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,480
himself in the ground, trying to
show friendship between the two.

471
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,080
Moby picks up Mutsky and hands 
him to Sonic. 

472
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,320
We cut back to Knothole, where 
Uncle Chuck was able to restore 

473
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Mutsky's consciousness. 
Uncle Chuck then walks up to 

474
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Moby. 
As for you, my prehistoric 

475
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,840
friend, I can't send you back in
time, but I can make our world a

476
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280
bit more familiar to you. 
We cut to a jungle. 

477
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,320
Not even not even Robotnik and 
his bots know about this Mobian 

478
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,840
jungle. 
The environment's too harsh for 

479
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,400
modern folks, but you should 
find it just like home, Moby. 

480
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Moby is ecstatic. 
Everyone begins to say their 

481
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,200
goodbyes when Sonic tells Mutsky
to give him his paw. 

482
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,400
Mutsky detaches his paw and 
everyone laughs in unison. 

483
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:44,880
The end. 
So a few things how does Uncle 

484
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,560
Chuck doesn't know what kind of 
fucking environment this caveman

485
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,200
knows as his home? 
He can't communicate that he 

486
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,680
doesn't know. 
Yeah, the the caveman seems like

487
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840
he's happy, but I mean he's just
happy because the scene she's 

488
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800
never seen before and he's like,
this is some cool shit. 

489
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:06,160
So fuck off Uncle Chuck. 
Also, if this is an area where 

490
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,120
Robotnik doesn't know about, why
don't they set up not whole 

491
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,600
village here? 
Yeah, that's a good point. 

492
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,480
Like, that should be what do 
they do? 

493
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,480
Like, yeah, yeah. 
And also how does Uncle Chuck 

494
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,920
know about this? 
Like, what is he doing in this? 

495
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Like, is I don't, what is Uncle 
Chuck doing? 

496
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,000
How does he know about this? 
A lot of a lot of these plot 

497
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,080
points are just kind of made-up 
and pulled out of people's 

498
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,120
asses. 
I don't it's it's. 

499
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,600
I'm just saying Uncle Chuck 
knows a lot of things he 

500
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,240
shouldn't know. 
That might be giving them too 

501
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,600
much credit, but going along 
that logic, I concur. 

502
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,240
I agree but this this issue 
feels so floaty. 

503
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,760
It feels so weightless. 
Which sucks because Mutsky is 

504
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,080
another Uncle Chuck. 
That's the whole point of both 

505
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,200
Mutsky and Uncle Chucky. 
Not Uncle, it's not too Uncle 

506
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,360
Chuck, it's just Mutsky. 
I I sorry, what I'm trying to 

507
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,720
say is it's. 
Being a tech. 

508
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,080
OK, you're being an asshole. 
Good. 

509
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Is that the template? 
You sold it very well. 

510
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,720
You sold it very well. 
The the the template of these 

511
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
two characters is the same, 
which is that they are emotional

512
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,240
anchors for Sonic, which you've 
established before in previous 

513
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,800
episodes of the show, but for 
for for months again, it feels 

514
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,200
just as weight, even more 
weightless than when Uncle Chuck

515
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,800
came back right. 
And it's it's like this caveman 

516
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:30,200
situation dominated so much of 
this whole storyline that I 

517
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,120
didn't really get a lot of 
whatever here. 

518
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,360
And it's very strange, like, 
Tarzan didn't come, didn't come 

519
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,880
out until 1999. 
Georgia, the jungle didn't come 

520
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,760
out. 
Until 1997. 

521
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,560
I mean, Tarzan came out in the 
19, what, 1020s? 

522
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,240
You're correct, you're correct. 
The movie didn't come out until 

523
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,400
1999, so it's like we're not 
anywhere near a resurgence of. 

524
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,600
The Movie. 
Yes, you're right, You're right,

525
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,920
you're right. 
Didn't come out anywhere close. 

526
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,680
Back to prevalence. 
This this story of a caveman 

527
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,200
lost in time. 
It does not check out at all but

528
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640
but. 
It's such a famous story. 

529
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,720
It's and I don't, I don't 
consider this a Tarzan story 

530
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,480
like in any way, shape or form. 
Sure, but you? 

531
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,000
Know just the concept, you're 
right, you're right, just the 

532
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,960
concept of of jungle swinging 
caveman is just comes out of 

533
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,160
nowhere that's all I'm trying to
say and. 

534
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Sure, sure, sure. 
It's weird. 

535
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960
It's weird that they would go 
this direction for the purposes 

536
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,840
of bringing Metzke back. 
I, I I don't get it. 

537
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,440
What I'm going to say very 
quickly is it looks like there 

538
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,120
was a Tarzan TV series in the 
60s. 

539
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:46,760
It looks like there was a Tarzan
series on air right now. 

540
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Oh. 
Like like 2025. 

541
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,600
No, no, no, no 91 through 95. 
OK, then you know what, maybe 

542
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,760
they pick every now and then. 
I like it because we've 

543
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,440
established just a while ago 
that can especially, but a lot 

544
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,080
of the other scriptwriters, 
they, they take a lot of things 

545
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,680
from current like the, the 
popular culture of that time of 

546
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,080
like the time they're writing in
and which is the 90s and we've 

547
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,240
noticed that pattern. 
So maybe that it, maybe that's 

548
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,520
it. 
And then I just found out about 

549
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,440
a made for TV movie that came 
out in 1989 that I need to see 

550
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,160
called Tarzan in Manhattan. 
Tarzan goes to New York to 

551
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,120
rescue the chimp cheetah who's 
been captured by an evil animal 

552
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,840
experimenter there. 
He teams up with Jane, a cab 

553
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,520
driver and daughter of an ex cop
Private Eye. 

554
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,240
That's that sounds perfect. 
I need to see this. 

555
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,400
So there, there's all that. 
What I'm, the point I'm trying 

556
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,320
to make is that it's all I, I, I
hate to use the word contrived, 

557
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,400
but it really feels contrived in
this instance. 

558
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Like what? 
Where the fuck did that come 

559
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,480
from? 
It's, it's weird. 

560
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,440
And maybe we'll see Moby again 
because they've established that

561
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Moby is in a safe place, that 
Moby can be useful. 

562
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,240
It seems the the other thing I 
was going to say, sorry, is the 

563
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,240
safe place that they decided to 
put him, which was in the remote

564
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,440
area of a jungle, I guess it 
seems like he should have just 

565
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,680
been put on Angel Island. 
That's a safe place. 

566
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,200
Yeah, right. 
For sure. 

567
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,760
Yeah, the floating island 100%. 
I I concur instead of making up 

568
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,440
this random thing. 
Yeah, not Angel Island. 

569
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040
That's fine, that's fine, but 
like it's this, it's this random

570
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,920
place that's just pull out of 
chunkle Chuck's ass for no, for 

571
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,120
no reason. 
I, I don't, I don't like that 

572
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,280
cause 'cause they. 
I mean it's like my Gus says we 

573
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,160
never see Moby again unless if 
they tried doing some like 

574
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Avengers end game shit where 
they're like let's get every 

575
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,640
single minor character we've 
ever had to fight Shore 

576
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,520
Robotnik. 
Because they've already built 

577
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,800
up. 
I look, I'm not saying you can't

578
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,000
make new characters. 
That's absolutely not true at 

579
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520
all. 
But you've built up such as this

580
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,840
vibrant universe, truly that I 
you can. 

581
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,160
Yeah, you can. 
You can you, you can reuse them 

582
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,880
to give them more staying power,
especially if you're going to 

583
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,120
use it as a useless as a not a 
useless thing, but a rather a 

584
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,120
throwaway thing, right? 
Is this the same jungle that 

585
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,880
Princess Sally went on an 
excursion with during her mini 

586
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,480
series? 
Maybe cuz that was the other 

587
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,760
jungle environment so who knows,
but it seems to be just 

588
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080
something that I mean. 
There's not because Robotnik had

589
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,000
a bunch of like. 
You're right, yeah. 

590
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Something I'm realizing, and I 
don't know if it's the skill of 

591
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,240
the riders or what. 
It seems like the issues without

592
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,080
Robotnik are a lot less 
interesting. 

593
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,720
Yeah, which sucks because I 
enjoy when they having new 

594
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920
protagonists I don't like. 
I love Robotnik. 

595
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,160
We both love Robotnik. 
But I mean, he's my favorite 

596
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,680
character so. 
Agreed, but for a a comic that 

597
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,760
stretches hundreds and hundreds 
and hundreds of issues for 

598
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,400
decades, I want to see other 
antagonists I want. 

599
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Like for instance, this is going
to sound random, but Shrek the 

600
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,480
Shrek. 
Movies just on random. 

601
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,880
Yeah, I'm so glad that it wasn't
just Lord Farquaad for all five 

602
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,480
of those movies. 
And the new one that's coming 

603
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,440
out, well, maybe I don't know, 
but for the movies that have 

604
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,520
been established, I'm so glad 
that it wasn't just him. 

605
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,360
Lord Farquaad was the first 
antagonist. 

606
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,719
And then just was defeated. 
That's it. 

607
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,199
No more of him. 
Every other movie introduces 

608
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:28,679
someone new, and I think that's 
really cool. 

609
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,199
I think that's how most movies 
work, right? 

610
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,880
Not necessarily. 
A lot of the time it's, well, 

611
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,800
it's half and half. 
It's half and half really, where

612
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:43,480
it's a lot of the same for a 
story of this type where it's 

613
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,239
very Saturday morning cartoon. 
It's just the same mother effers

614
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,800
over and over again. 
That's the that's where I'm 

615
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,600
basing it off of off of. 
So I should have said like, oh, 

616
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,679
GI Joe, it's just the same Cobra
mother fuckers every single 

617
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:59,440
time, right? 
We don't get new threats, we 

618
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,720
don't get new antagonists. 
You. 

619
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,920
You you do. 
Specifically in the cartoon 

620
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,960
show. 
Yeah, yeah, you. 

621
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,440
I mean, they had to sell toys, 
man. 

622
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:11,880
There's so many different 
antagonists. 

623
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:17,000
They're, they're just all under 
the umbrella of like Cobra 

624
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Commander of Cobra, you know? 
What? 

625
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:19,640
I mean, well, that's the point. 
I'm OK, Sorry. 

626
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,400
That's the OK. 
You're right. 

627
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,840
I agree with you. 
How cool would it have been? 

628
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,760
It's like, hey, it's not just 
Cobra. 

629
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,480
There's other politics, there's 
other people in the world, 

630
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,880
there's other cells, there's 
other antagonists, and I'm sure 

631
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,680
there are episodes of those, but
an overwhelming majority of them

632
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,000
came from Cobra. 
And it's like, hey, how cool 

633
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,320
would it be if we just had a 
random mother fuck off terrorist

634
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,120
group that was doing doing 
things? 

635
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,400
Yeah, I I haven't seen enough of
GI Joe to talk about this 

636
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,480
intelligently, but I get the 
point you're trying to make. 

637
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:50,600
Yeah, I I just remember from 
because I did watch a lot of GI 

638
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,440
Joe and it was almost always 
Cobra. 

639
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,320
I watched a lot of the revival 
and it was always almost Cobra 

640
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,320
and or we haven't I I'm just 
referencing something we talked 

641
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,280
about off off camera. 
But the and or man, oh man, they

642
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,200
they they get it. 
They understand that shit. 

643
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,440
Anyway, moving on. 
You want to move on? 

644
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,000
Did you have any final points? 
I don't know. 

645
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,800
Yeah, I don't. 
I don't have any final thoughts 

646
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,600
other than like, it was a boring
whatever. 

647
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,080
Like, yeah, the best part about 
it was like someone came up with

648
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,840
a plan that wasn't Sonic. 
I agree. 

649
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,240
That is nice, right? 
Coming up next here, Prisoners 

650
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:32,920
Knuckles Chaotics Prisoners 
Script by Mike Gansernovich and 

651
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,320
Ken Penders. 
Penciled by Ken Penders. 

652
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,200
We open on the Chaotics team 
sans Knuckles in complete 

653
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,400
darkness, except for the exact 
spot they stand on, which seems 

654
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,040
to be lit by a spotlight. 
The team is trying to figure out

655
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,480
what happened. 
The last thing they remember was

656
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,920
fighting in the jungle with 
Knuckles. 

657
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,200
As they theorize. 
A voice booms overhead. 

658
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,160
Sorry to keep you in the dark, 
Charmy, but. 

659
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,480
Or wait, wait, This is the. 
This is the. 

660
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,280
The unknown voice. 
But it's the Australian, Or do 

661
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,520
we not know that it's the 
Australian? 

662
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,400
I think it's the cricket. 
It's the Australian we know. 

663
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,680
It's the should I, should I do 
the voice? 

664
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,800
Yeah, OK. 
A voice booms overhead. 

665
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,000
Sort of keep you in the dark, 
charmy. 

666
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,560
But all I have more reasons. 
Don't fret though, we've no need

667
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,680
for Espio's vanishing act or a 
show of Mighty's prodigious 

668
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,280
strength. 
All will be made clear. 

669
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:36,120
Vector notices a security camera
and shouts out to it. 

670
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,320
We cut to inside. 
The control room that we saw 

671
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,960
from the hunt is on in the 
Chaotic special #1 we see a 

672
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,760
shadow of someone wearing a 
cowboy hat or slouch hat and 

673
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,840
monitors watching the chaotic 
screw. 

674
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,640
You seem to know an awful lot 
about us and about Knuckles. 

675
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,920
But we don't know. 
But we don't know you from 

676
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,680
Squat. 
That's the way I like it, 

677
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,200
Vector. 
Still, if I will put your minds 

678
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,400
at ease, It's a problem which 
can readily be solved. 

679
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080
A door opens and the crew starts
walking towards it. 

680
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:15,120
They find themselves in a 
futuristic corridor. 

681
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,760
They turn the corner and are met
with the mysterious stranger. 

682
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,280
Everyone is in shock. 
To be continued. 

683
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,880
Yeah, there's literally nothing 
to say. 

684
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,520
It's until we know more. 
Like we, but we kind of know 

685
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,400
already who it is, kind of 
right. 

686
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,800
We know it's a cricket. 
Well yeah, because he like 

687
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:44,040
teleported himself or something.
And was it the communion that 

688
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,960
saw him or something? 
Yeah, I don't know, but. 

689
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,080
Then he was just like you. 
You weren't supposed to see me 

690
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,680
or something. 
It was dumb. 

691
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,440
It should have been. 
It should be Fang, the other 

692
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Australian character. 
No, sorry, sorry, not, not the 

693
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,080
other Australian. 
We've had three Australian 

694
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,000
characters at this point. 
But it should be a lot of 

695
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,400
Australian characters, yeah. 
But you'd be Fang the Sniper or 

696
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:10,200
Knack the Weasel, which is the, 
the under the mercenary hired by

697
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,280
Robotnik that got knocked out 
multiple times by Sonic and 

698
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,640
Knuckles. 
I I don't know who it should be,

699
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,000
but it's like, why did you need 
to make up a new Australian 

700
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,320
character? 
Well, what's the point? 

701
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,520
I, I don't I don't get it. 
This is the this is annoying and

702
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
it's not leading up to anything 
that I particularly enjoy 

703
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,320
because everyone's shocked here.
Everyone in Chaotix is shocked. 

704
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,440
I don't think we're going to get
shocked because who the hell 

705
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,480
could it possibly be? 
That's a we've never seen a 

706
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,440
cricket, a cricket Aussie 
character before. 

707
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,000
I don't get it. 
So it's it's dumb. 

708
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,400
I agree, yeah. 
That's it, let's just move the 

709
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,920
hell on. 
Tundra Road Part 2 script by Ken

710
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,840
Penders and penciled by Art 
Mahwinney. 

711
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,640
Nothole's freedom fighting 
Walrus Roeder received a 

712
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,360
distress call from his family 
home in the frozen North Sea. 

713
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,480
Princess Sally gave him 
permission to investigate. 

714
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
He was shocked to discover a 
nefarious theme by Ivor 

715
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,480
Robotnik. 
But before Rotor could contact 

716
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,800
the Freedom Fighters, he was 
clubbed unconscious and sent to 

717
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:18,640
a cold, watery grave. 
Rotor awakens on an ice sheet. 

718
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,920
It seems that Celia, the seal 
from the displaced Arctic 

719
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,840
Mobians from Sonic issue #26 saw
Rotor sinking and rescued him. 

720
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,040
A reminder of what Celia looks 
like. 

721
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:37,600
French, I was fishing for AD 
there when I saw you in the 

722
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,760
water and began to sink. 
I swam beneath you and push you 

723
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:49,600
back up to the surface. 
No offence, but this is not the 

724
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,440
small test. 
When I reached the nearest 

725
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,960
isoflow I tried to lift you 
without success. 

726
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,520
Luckily for us, the big boy was 
nearby. 

727
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,520
Augustus Zipola Bear. 
Augustus was also a displaced 

728
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,920
Arctic Mobian. 
He looks like a polar bear. 

729
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:12,000
Rotor catches Celia up to speed,
explaining the radio signals and

730
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,080
explaining that Robotnik has 
hypnotized all the walruses in 

731
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,880
the Arctic. 
Augustus, Celia, and Rotor come 

732
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,920
up with a plan. 
We cut to inside Robotnik's lair

733
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,120
with all the walruses standing 
around, hypnotized. 

734
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,920
The SWAT bots bring in a giant 
pink horse. 

735
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,120
The SWAT bots bring up Robotnik 
on the video monitor to show him

736
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,280
the offering a tribute to you by
the other Arctic creatures. 

737
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,760
They left it at the front door 
of this hidden fortress. 

738
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,360
Isn't it a nice horse? 
And here's a note to Ivo from 

739
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,800
the Frozen Trojans. 
Robotnik gasps in horror. 

740
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,520
You fools, it's a trap. 
Augustus, Celia, and Roeder 

741
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,320
burst out of the Trojan Horse, 
easily defeating the SWAT bots. 

742
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:07,360
Robotnik then commands the 
Walruses to destroy our 3 

743
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,040
heroes. 
Augustus quickly grabs Roeder 

744
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,920
and brings him outside. 
They are standing at the edge of

745
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,360
the ice sheet with the Walruses 
coming to attack. 

746
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,960
Augustus jumps into the ocean 
and breaks the ice shelf into 

747
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,840
two pieces, one with Roeder just
standing on it, the other with 

748
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,520
all of Roeder's friends, family,
and villagers. 

749
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:31,480
The walruses are unable to 
complete the order, standing on 

750
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,840
the ice island, starting to 
float away. 

751
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,200
Roeder, quickly thinking, throws
a tracking device onto their new

752
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,040
home so that he'll be able to 
find them at a later date. 

753
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,640
Celia, Roeder, and Augustus 
watch as the hypnotized walruses

754
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,600
float off into the sea. 
Roeder hops into his submarine 

755
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,920
and says his goodbyes to 
Augustus and Celia, vowing to 

756
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,640
return soon with a cure for his 
loved ones. 

757
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,880
End of Part 2. 
This is insane. 

758
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,280
Yeah. 
Like, so they, they just made 

759
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,120
like a little ice island ice 
boat, I don't know what you want

760
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:15,480
to call it and all. 
Like there's these like hundreds

761
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,880
of walruses packed in like 
sardines and they're just 

762
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,920
floating away on this island. 
You can't. 

763
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,760
Leave like you can't just leave 
with them. 

764
00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:30,920
If Rotor's leaving, he needs to 
come back like in a day at most 

765
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,520
because like they need to eat 
their animals. 

766
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,160
They're going to, they're going 
to either die of starvation or 

767
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:43,240
dehydration or just their 
muscles are going to collapse in

768
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:45,160
on themselves because they're 
just standing there. 

769
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,560
Yeah, right. 
Because the point is that 

770
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,840
they're disconnected from 
robotics. 

771
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,440
I'm assuming the implication is 
that they're disconnected from 

772
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:57,160
robotics hypnosis, but but 
they're just floating there. 

773
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,920
I don't. 
I don't think they're 

774
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,600
disconnected, I think. 
They can't receive orders. 

775
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,600
Can't complete the order that 
they were given and so but like 

776
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,360
walruses can swim. 
That was the other thing that 

777
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,240
was confusing to me. 
So like that's kind of like, I 

778
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:15,760
don't know if you know this 
that's kind of their thing is 

779
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:21,000
walruses swim a lot. 
I I would say all the time 

780
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,320
actually. 
So the fact that the moment they

781
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,840
were on this floating, floating 
island, it's not the terminology

782
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,440
I should use specifically in 
this comic, it's these islands 

783
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,160
started drifting away. 
I'm like, why are they just not 

784
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,640
hopping into the water? 
They that's their thing. 

785
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,320
Unless Robotnik made them so 
dumb that they can't even do 

786
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,040
that, which I can see being an 
excuse, but it is kind of weird.

787
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,720
Whatever. 
Sure, the. 

788
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:54,080
One thing I appreciated about 
this this story is that we did 

789
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,760
revisit these characters from 
the from the displaced, but we 

790
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,960
only saw two of them. 
And I love that. 

791
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,120
I love that because that means 
the two of them had time to 

792
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,560
breathe and do things. 
I agree it. 

793
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,480
Was great, loved it. 
I felt more like, hey, these 

794
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:17,080
were actual characters. 
I, I appreciate that the freedom

795
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:22,160
fighters go around and they meet
other people who are willing to 

796
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,080
join the resistance. 
Now, I don't like when they're 

797
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,360
branded and trademarked. 
We've talked about this before 

798
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,160
when they're branded and 
trademarked, as you know, down 

799
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,240
under freedom fighters or Arctic
freedom fighters or whatever, or

800
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,320
40 fathoms, freedom fighters. 
I, I think they can come up with

801
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:42,680
unique names, right? 
Like like the, the, the people's

802
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,160
Arctic front or something like 
that. 

803
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,520
Like, that's cool, That's nice. 
But anyway, anyway, the fact 

804
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,720
that the story gave these two. 
Path, Path. 

805
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:53,760
Yes, path and. 
Then they would get into 

806
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,720
infighting with the the front 
for the Arctic people, right? 

807
00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,680
Something like. 
That and and then as they're 

808
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,800
fighting, then Robotnik takes 
over. 

809
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,560
Yeah, that'd be a cool story. 
That'd be a genuinely cool and 

810
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,000
sadly realistic story, timeless 
story. 

811
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,800
But in terms of, of this of, of 
what we're seeing in front of 

812
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:18,040
us, that's at least nice that we
get to see these two characters 

813
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,720
be a little. 
We get a whole, we get a whole 

814
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:23,160
page where Celia is talking or a
couple pages where Celia is 

815
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,040
talking to Roeder and she is her
own character. 

816
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,080
It's not a particularly deep 
conversation, but she gets to do

817
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,320
her own thing. 
And then of course, we get the 

818
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,760
polar bear, Augustus. 
And, you know, not as much 

819
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,640
characterization, but there is 
some characterization. 

820
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,760
He's a little grumpy. 
He doesn't trust Rotor, right? 

821
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,080
This, this is remarkably 
refreshing. 

822
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:47,040
It's not that great, but it's 
remarkably refreshing for this 

823
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,680
comic. 
Yeah. 

824
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,000
I not much to say other than I'm
actually in agreement, that is, 

825
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,200
yeah. 
I'm kind of sorry if I'm doing a

826
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,600
lot of talking and heavy lifting
here, I figured you were tired 

827
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,280
but. 
I am very tired. 

828
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,800
Yeah. 
But I appreciate though, Nick, I

829
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,520
appreciate you. 
Yes. 

830
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,040
The I do like the implication 
that there are Trojans at one 

831
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,120
point. 
Yes, I didn't think about that. 

832
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,480
Because Robotnik immediately 
knew that it was a Trojan horse 

833
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,000
and they called it Trojans or 
something. 

834
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,360
I think the word of Trojans was 
using Trojan because my my phone

835
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,560
died so I can't play with the 
comic anymore. 

836
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,280
They say frozen Trojans, that's 
what they say. 

837
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,320
They didn't need to do a horse. 
They could have done literally 

838
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,400
any sculpture or statue, but 
they did the. 

839
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,960
Horse because it's Or they could
have just done a giant present 

840
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,800
and been like this presence for 
Robotnik. 

841
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Correct and still made the 
Trojan reference to me this just

842
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,280
and it's not particularly deeper
on the nose, but I'm implying 

843
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,000
this that it implies that there 
is like a the horse society that

844
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,360
did the Trojan thing. 
Yeah, I think. 

845
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,360
That'd. 
Be pretty cool. 

846
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,320
Like would the horses stand or 
would the horses be on all 

847
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,840
force? 
Oh, they, they, they, they're on

848
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:01,840
2. 
They're on 2. 

849
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,200
They're bipedal, OK. 
Yeah, they're bipedal. 

850
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,200
That's that's the sign of 
intelligence, I think. 

851
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,000
Oh, you're right. 
In this world. 

852
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,320
Mutsky. 
Mutsky is on all fours, yes. 

853
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,440
Yep. 
And he's dumb. 

854
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,880
I mean I might be wrong but 
that's the vibe I'm getting. 

855
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,800
Yes, I concur. 
All right, this this issue was 

856
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,680
kind of wack. 
Yeah, I mean, there wasn't much 

857
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,960
to say. 
Like it was just fine. 

858
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,760
We get lots of fun little loony 
tune. 

859
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:34,360
Yeah, yeah, and and a weird 
distrust of Uncle Chuck now, so 

860
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,240
I don't even know if. 
That was. 

861
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,200
I hope that was the implication.
If not, that sucks. 

862
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,760
I don't. 
I don't think it was the 

863
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:42,920
implication. 
I think I don't. 

864
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,680
Think so either like that's 
that's just a bad story to like.

865
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,880
Yeah, you want to grab your 
guitar? 

866
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,200
Go. 
No, it's time for Sonic grams. 

867
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:02,160
You can right to Sonic Grams. 
Oh yeah, it's illegally distinct

868
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,680
Sonic Grams. 
It's an unaffiliated Sonic 

869
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,760
Grams. 
We made our own Sonic Grams. 

870
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,240
All right, we're, we're only 
going to read 1 e-mail today. 

871
00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:21,160
We got, we got another one in 
the chamber though. 

872
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:27,720
We'll read that one next week. 
This one is from our pal Speed 

873
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:29,080
Boom. 
Speed boom. 

874
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:36,560
All right, written after episode
42, but as a response to 

875
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:42,240
episodes 32 to 37 guys, gals and
non non binary pals. 

876
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:47,320
I am back then. 
So he actually just goes through

877
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,000
and he's just like, I'm just 
going to talk about these 

878
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,280
episodes one by one in a short 
little burst. 

879
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,440
So should we do? 
That or. 

880
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,200
Yeah, yeah. 
No, no, it's fine. 

881
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,760
I wouldn't. 
I'm not against it, I just it'll

882
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,520
be very disorienting for other 
people. 

883
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,400
No, we're fine. 
GTF 33. 

884
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,800
I think he's specifically 
talking to me, I expressed. 

885
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,440
So you expressed confusion on 
whether Knuckles was flying. 

886
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Sorry and there was confusion 
expressed on whether Knuckles 

887
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,320
was flying, considering he went 
from the ground to suddenly 

888
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,000
super high up in the air. 
I've always kind of thought of 

889
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,840
it like Hulk super jump. 
And then from that height he 

890
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,160
just glides from there. 
I don't think the flying is 

891
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,960
self-propelled, but rather 
lighting up and down with wind 

892
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,960
currents. 
So that's that's an interesting 

893
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,680
theory. 
And then he he throws in that 

894
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,840
Nick is 100% correct. 
I just want to put this on the 

895
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,400
record that the monster at the 
end of the book is a great kids 

896
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,640
book. 
GTF 34. 

897
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,080
Did you have any comments on 
that? 

898
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,480
No keep. 
Going. 

899
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,360
Yeah, GTF 34. 
You said that the Arctic freedom

900
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,640
fighters left no impact, and I 
completely agree. 

901
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,120
You know why? 
Because I straight up do not 

902
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,560
remember them being in this 
comic. 

903
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:09,320
I know I've read this, but 
nearly this whole SU felt 

904
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,840
completely foreign to me. 
Good. 

905
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,040
I I got I got good news for you.
Speed boom, they come back. 

906
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:23,000
I think he knows that by now. 
Assuming I assume that's the 

907
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:30,840
last time we see him too GTF 35.
At one point in this issue it is

908
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,320
assumed that Knuckles is gliding
with the use of his dreadlocks. 

909
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
This was a contenders idea, but 
it's actually something that 

910
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,640
dates back to Knuckles creation.
When he glides in Sonic 3 and 

911
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,480
Knuckles you can actually see 
his dreadlocks fan out and up. 

912
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,360
Sorry, See, his dreadlocks fan 
up a little bit because they're 

913
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,160
catching air almost like a 
parachute. 

914
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,440
So. 
OK, OK. 

915
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,360
The thing with Knack the Weasel 
is that his different names have

916
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,320
recently been confirmed to be 
different aliases. 

917
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,200
A theory I've had for years, by 
the way. 

918
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,200
I like that. 
Yeah. 

919
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,200
However, my interpretation was 
always that Knack the Weasel was

920
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,040
his real name, and Faying the 
Sniper was his alias. 

921
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:19,720
As it turns out, both Knack the 
Weasel and Thing the Sniper are 

922
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:24,080
aliases, and Thing the Hunter 
Identity is his true name. 

923
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,760
Yes, Thing the Sniper is an 
alias, yeah. 

924
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,000
They have to change from they 
have to change from sniper to 

925
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,800
hunter cuz it's more family 
friendly. 

926
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,320
I get that I understand it. 
I. 

927
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,320
Agree 1000% that I think 100% 
the reason. 

928
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:43,360
I think. 
I think Knack the Weasel would 

929
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,640
be, I'm just speculating, but 
Knack sounds like more of a real

930
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:47,400
name. 
It's the name. 

931
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,360
It's like, it's like Henry Jones
Junior. 

932
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,560
And then like, oh, OK, my, my 
real name is Indiana Jones. 

933
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,080
Or rather it's Frank the Sniper.
That's my, that's my real name. 

934
00:52:56,080 --> 00:53:01,680
That's a cool name. 
Then he makes a comment saying 

935
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,480
that your vector voice sounded 
like vector being electrocuted, 

936
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,520
which I think is a compliment. 
OK. 

937
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,040
He specifically said, no 
offense, but I was like. 

938
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,080
That's fine. 
No, I know that's fine. 

939
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,880
It's a pair. 
Out of all the names, that one 

940
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,400
is one of the most off kilter 
from the actual voice. 

941
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:26,360
GTFS 36 and 37, so the pair of 
issues we covered in that 

942
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,520
episode with Sonic. 
The Sonic brainwash plot is very

943
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:34,040
similar to episode 16 of The 
Saturday Morning Sat AM, which 

944
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,640
premiered 10 months earlier to 
that issue's release. 

945
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,440
Issue 20 Sevens title Saturday 
Nights All Right for a Fight. 

946
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,520
It's obvious reference to Elton 
John's 1973 Saturday Night 

947
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,520
Nights All Right for Fighting. 
The song also has a Nickelback 

948
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,800
cover that is featured in the 
Spiderman 3D animation video by 

949
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,800
3D Fantast, which is how I knew 
the song exclusively until 2024 

950
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,320
when the original Elton John 
version made its way into 

951
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,560
episode 6 of the Paramount Plus 
Knuckles series. 

952
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,320
So the new saga eventually 
looped back into the series 

953
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,760
there like 30 years later. 
I love that. 

954
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,120
Is so fucking insane to me that 
a that there's a Nickelback 

955
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,920
cover of Saturday night's all 
right for fighting and that's 

956
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,280
your like original version of 
this. 

957
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:27,640
I that I'm so curious. 
So I have a theory that a lot of

958
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,960
times the I don't know if I said
this on the podcast. 

959
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,320
I was literally just talking 
about this to with someone 

960
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,120
recently. 
I have a theory that like the 

961
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:41,640
first time you hear a the song, 
that's the version you kind of 

962
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:47,280
enjoy the most, and then any 
other versions you hear later, 

963
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,400
even if it's like the true 
original or something, you're 

964
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,840
just like, yeah, it's good. 
I like it. 

965
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:58,160
I always think too, So I'm not a
Nirvana fan really, but there 

966
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:03,160
were two songs I really enjoyed 
off of his MTV Unplugged album. 

967
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,800
I don't know if you know that 
offhand. 

968
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,000
Yeah. 
And the two songs that I really 

969
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:15,960
liked, hated Everything else, 
was Where Did You Sleep Last 

970
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,560
Night and The Man Who Sold the 
World, Which Where Did You Sleep

971
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,000
Last Night? 
I think is a cover of a song by 

972
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,760
a very old Blues musician. 
I want to say Mud Belly or 

973
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,160
Leadbelly. 
Something that's probably it. 

974
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:36,040
Because that that sounds right. 
And then The Man Who Sold the 

975
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:42,000
World is a David Bowie cover and
to this day I still prefer the 

976
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,800
MTV uncovered Nirvana versions 
of those songs to the original. 

977
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,000
And I always think it's just 
'cause that's the first version 

978
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,920
I heard. 
So to me that those are the 

979
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,680
versions that like really had 
weight to them. 

980
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,400
I could be wrong. 
So actually, you know how you we

981
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:57,960
could defeat this speed boom, 
right? 

982
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,800
I'd need to know if which 
version of Saturday Night is All

983
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,640
right for fighting is which 
version you enjoy? 

984
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,440
I get no I understand that. 
I think for most people it is 

985
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,760
very much the same because it's 
associated with a certain point 

986
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,960
in their life. 
It's associated with a certain 

987
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,720
memory especially. 
Well, hopefully a good one, but 

988
00:56:17,720 --> 00:56:19,400
that's the one that usually 
sticks with them the most. 

989
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:25,520
I know as a jazz fan I've like 
the the cover. 

990
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:29,520
In pop music and rock music, 
covers are common, but they're 

991
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:34,960
not that common in jazz. 
You make your bones off of doing

992
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,880
covers. 
You can't do your own stuff. 

993
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:43,520
But it's like, oh, this is a 
jazz standard that literally has

994
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,360
been done millions and millions 
and millions of times before, 

995
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:50,880
right? 
Even like, like Paul McCartney's

996
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,840
yesterday, right? 
That's like the most covered 

997
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,960
song of all time according to 
many metrics. 

998
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:02,280
Even then, that's like the same 
amount of cover that has been 

999
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,160
done by jazz musicians who do 
jazz standards, because that's 

1000
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,160
literally what they do the whole
time. 

1001
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,560
So the point I'm getting at is 
that I have adjusted my head to 

1002
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:18,160
be like, OK, when I hear a new 
jazz standard, I explore that 

1003
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,080
and I find a million different 
versions. 

1004
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,440
So I'm a little less in tune to 
that. 

1005
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:28,440
But when I associate it with a 
memory it it sticks out of my 

1006
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,720
mind a lot more. 
So I get that. 

1007
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,800
I understand that you were 
laughing earlier. 

1008
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:40,920
Yeah, I was, I we're not reading
it, but I read the the next 

1009
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,840
e-mail in our chain chamber and 
they they had a very funny intro

1010
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,040
that I liked. 
OK. 

1011
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,360
So we'll continue with this one.
Well, no, that was it. 

1012
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:56,200
We finished the e-mail, so any, 
anything you want to call out 

1013
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:57,560
right now, anything you want to 
talk about? 

1014
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,680
No, that was that was it. 
That's the issue. 

1015
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,720
Only I I honestly I just guessed
where we're at. 

1016
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,160
I'm going to sit down and count 
it out. 

1017
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,720
Only 382 left to go. 
I'm Nick. 

1018
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,520
I stream at twitch.tv/mojosaurus
and my personal blue sky is at 

1019
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,680

That hate group just came back 

1022
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,640
to to the low to the western 
suburbs. 

1023
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,280
So I did a second article on it.
You can check that out. 

1024
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,320
And they're they're they're 
they're picking me fascists. 

1025
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,520
They're picking me Karen 
fascists. 

1026
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:35,680
They're trying to get Trump's 
attention. 

1027
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:40,800
Anyway, you can also follow me 
on Blue Sky at John Guan. 

1028
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,120
Not as much activity on there. 
I'm not getting as much 

1029
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,320
engagement on there. 
Just in it's not, it's not a 

1030
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,960
obviously audience problem. 
I'm just saying in general, 

1031
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,120
it's, I don't know if people are
coming back to Twitter or 

1032
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,560
something like that. 
Or maybe your people are just 

1033
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,360
like I'm done with social media.
No, no, it's like, are people? 

1034
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,160
Going. 
That's got you. 

1035
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,520
I don't know, I genuinely don't 
know. 

1036
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,240
I just know that Instagram seems
to be the consistent one, which 

1037
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,360
is fine. 
That's where all the musicians
