  Speaker 2: You know, that's how we do it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: One cop per precinct. That's, you know, yeah. It seems sufficient.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: That's totally safe for them.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Well, then you have your independent contractors, right? True.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: True.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Which, with that, if there's space cops, does that mean there's, like,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: space speed traps somewhere?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: They're just pulling over?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Is there a space PBA where, like, a Green Lantern
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: is going to call your house every other month asking
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for a donation?

  Speaker 2: My space tax dollars go to you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: This didn't go the way I thought it would.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: No, not at all. Oh, goodness. Will?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: How is everybody?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been crazy roller coaster for me.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: My dad had a heart attack about two weeks ago.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: He has been in the hospital. He required open heart surgery.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: They got him open and there was a whole mess
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: of stuff in there that they weren't expecting. He had
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: major surgery and then after the surgery they couldn't close
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: him up because everything was too swollen. His chest was
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: open for like five days after the after the surgery, yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it was crazy. I'm in the room, I'll call it visiting.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was asleep, but I'm in the room
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and you know, they, it's not open, like exposed to
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the world. There's a barrier on there, but it's a,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a latex barrier. It's like a balloon
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: stapled to his chest and I'm watching his heartbeat through
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the balloon. It was just very eyeopening to see like
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: what goes into all of this stuff and the, the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: amount of equipment that was keeping him alive. I'm like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. He looks like, uh, he looks like he's
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: been assimilated. There's just a wall of machinery behind him
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and tubes and wires. And this one's detecting this and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: this one's detected that. And it was, it was eyeopening
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to see how much goes into, uh, keeping people alive.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know what it is.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Marvels of modern medicine.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: 30 years ago.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: 30 years ago, you'd been dead.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: He'd have been dead. It would have been, you know, make,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know, spend some time visiting with him. Cause it's, uh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: The end is near my God, you know, and now
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it's like, all right, this machine's breathing form. This one's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: pumping blood around for him. This one is, is doing
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: dialysis because your kidneys are in shock from all of this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was, it was amazing. Wow. Wow. To see.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So he's awake now. Okay. He's breathing on his own
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a few hours a day. They have, that's the thing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You know, if you don't breathe for yourself for a week,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: They don't just, you know, oh, you're awake. Let's unplug
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: the breathing machine.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That doesn't come right back.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: No, you have to practice at it. They call it exercising.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So he exercises a few hours a day.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Being able to breathe on your own, though, even for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a few hours a day is a big deal. That's big.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: So hopefully he can come off of that in the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: next few days. That would be great because then they
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: can take the tube. the tube out and he can
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: actually talk to us. Cause that's the thing. He's awake
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and aware right now, but he can't talk, which, which
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I imagine is extremely frustrating.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Um, that his only communication is, um, all right, squeeze,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: squeeze my hand once for yes. And two for no.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Do you want this? No. Okay. Do you want this? No.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Do you want this? No. All right. Well, I'm at ideas. So, yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I, we, we had a family friend who had
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a similar situation a few years back and we got
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: him a chart of like common things and he could
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: point like, I want to fan on, I want.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Which if you can, which if you can lift your
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: hands and do that is great, but he can't, he
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: can't even do that. He can't even do that yet
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: because he was lying still for, uh, for seven days.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm holding this hand and it's just, it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: swollen from just all the, all the fluid that, that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: builds up. Yeah. So I'm so sorry. I think he'll
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: be able to talk before he'll be able to point,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: which is right, which is fine. Yeah. But yeah, he's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: doing a lot better. I'm glad he's doing a lot better. God.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I wasn't sure if I was going to be
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: here this morning, but yeah, you know, I was with
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the most of the day. I was with the most
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of the day yesterday.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm glad to hear he's, he's getting better.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thanks guys.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We've been, we've been thinking about it because we knew, um,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: before the audience did, you know? So, and, uh, yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that's a tough thing. That's a real tough thing. So everybody's, uh, uh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: praying for your dad and thinking about it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And this is the age, this is the age where like,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you know, some of my friends have lost their parents,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: not to, not to sickness, but to just old age.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I lost mine 15 years ago. He was,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he was 81.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: So it's, but it's a, you know, it's an eyeopening experience. Like, Oh, okay,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: this is, this is either happening now or it could
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: happen in the near future. And it's supposed to keep
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: happening to people my age. So, yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Once your, once your parents reach a certain age,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you start thinking about it a lot.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I remember when my dad approached me, when he got
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to 80, I started thinking about it a lot. And then, Oh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the days here. Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: What was also interesting is I don't live in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: town that I grew up in. I live about, uh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: 20 miles away. My parents, my parents still live in
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the town I grew up in. So the hospital he's
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: in is in the town I grew up in. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I spent the last two weeks traveling back and forth
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: to the town I grew up in and, and spending
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: time in, uh, one of the two hospitals in that town,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: which means I thought about it. I saw about a
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: thousand people in the last two weeks that I know
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: from either past jobs or growing up in the neighborhood
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: or school or, or right. And since I'm seeing them
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: at a hospital, they're all going through the same shit. Oh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: my dad has, you know, such, there was a, there
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: was a friend I used to work with and she's like, yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: he was supposed to have surgery on, uh, on Wednesday,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: but it got bumped to Thursday. I'm like, yeah, well
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: that's cause my dad needed the surgery. We were able
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to figure out that's exactly what it was. So his dad,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: her dad got bumped by my dad, but you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: it's just funny walking around. in the town and in
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the hospital, it's like, Hey, I know that guy. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: know that guy. I know that guy. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: So Daniel, how's, uh, stuck in the air, stuck in
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: all the air out of the show.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, we, we had a, um, kind of fun family
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: thing this week ends up. My uncle was in town
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: for a work conference. And, and so he had one
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: night that he could get away. And so on Friday night,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I went and I picked him up and I took
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: him to my sister's house and we had a family dinner.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And I haven't seen this uncle in like 10 years.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And this guy has had like the most Forrest Gump
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: life you've ever heard of. He in high school, he
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: was like a track athlete, like star. And then like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: right out of high school, he went. to the Marines
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and then from the Marines, he became a train conductor.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And then the last 20 years.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And then the last year he's our last 20 years,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: he's been a librarian, like went and got his master's
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and all that. And so it's like the most different
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: careers possible.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And How many Dr. Peppers can he drink?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Did he beat the record of 19?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't drink any with us, so I don't know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I did get him a frozen lemonade, and he was
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: very excited about that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But, yeah, he was telling us all sorts of
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: crazy family stories because he has also gotten into genealogy,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and so he looked up our family like six generations.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was pretty cool. It was pretty interesting, though.

  Speaker 3: So, yeah.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's N-I-G-H-Y. It's N-I-G-H-Y.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought it was Bill Nye, the science guy.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: It's that guy. Disregard. I don't know how to pronounce it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It's that guy. There's another photo of him playing piano.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: He's going to be a guest star too. What's really
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: funny is... Let me show you this other headline that
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I saw from Collider. And It's the same news story,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: so we don't need to cover it. But I just
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: thought the headline was hilarious. Star Trek's canceled masterpiece officially
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: returns for season two.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's a hell of a headline. Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Masterpiece is doing a lot of work right there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Lame duck Star Trek returns in March. That's right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: So, yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So that's going on at the Javits Center in New York.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Another thing that happened. This is coming to us. from trekmovie.com.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And if you've ever wanted your action figures to explain
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Ferengi sex to your other action figures, you will soon
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: be able to do that with your own Gene Roddenberry
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: action figure.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: This is going to be coming out from the Nacelle
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Toy Company. They're launching a Gene Roddenberry and Lucille Ball
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: action figure for the 60th anniversary of Gene comes to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: you with an action typewriter, sir.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And a little Enterprise model, which is kind of cool.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And multiple hands. And then Lucille Ball comes to us
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: with scripts. And it looks like some sort of receipt
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: or maybe a paycheck. I don't know what that thing
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be. But yeah. This will be part
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: of Wave 3.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Gabe says morning.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Hello, Gabe. Hey, Gabe. He's a good friend of mine. Yeah. Okay, cool.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: We'll see if anybody gets the reference. You can't work
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: for me. You've got AIDS.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Anyone?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Anyone? We've talked about it before. I'm sure we have.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: SNL did a skit 30 years ago, and it was
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: a joke about something like this. Things that shouldn't be
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: action figures. And it was action figures from the movie Philadelphia.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: But what makes it Trek related is they customized some
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Star Trek action figures.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, to make the Philadelphia ones?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: The characters that were in suits, it was like Data
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: from South America as Carlos from South America and Picard
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: as Dixon Hill. That was the line. One kid shooting
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: a missile. across the screen at the other side, you
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: can't work for me. You've got AIDS. But it reminds
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: me of this, you know, what, what scene are you
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: going to recreate when, when she gets a royalty check?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: And then, and then our last news story comes to
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: us from Yahoo entertainment. And I know we've been talking
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: about this, the idea of, uh, Star Trek United, the, um,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the in theory show with Archer coming back, looks like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: that might not be happening because, uh, Scott Bakula has
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: signed on to be the lead of a detective drama
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: for CBS. And the producer of this is, what was
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: his name? Michael Sussman, who was also supposed to be
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: working together with him on Star Trek United.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So if they're busy doing a network show, it doesn't
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: look like United's going to be happening.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Can you scroll down so I can see his face,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: his whole face again? Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So we're going to get a GoFundMe together. We're going
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: to buy him a comb.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Either that or he's playing Albert Einstein in a biopic
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: coming up next year. And he's just trying to get in.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like he just woke up and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: threw on his suit.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Look, like my stylist always says, you're never too old
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to go to sport clips. Yeah. So we'll give him
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the MVP. He can get his hair washed. A little
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: back massage. Yeah, I'd go to sports clips.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: What the hell is sports clips? What is that?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a chain of haircut places.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, I haven't had a haircut since 1993.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's these places called Supercuts and Sports Clips.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Supercuts, I'm aware of.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: It's Sports Clips and Supercuts, only it's got sports playing. Yeah,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and it's more expensive. Yeah, they offer the MVP, which
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is they take you out back, they wash your hair,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: they massage your scalp. Out back?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: What are these, the hose? Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: There's like a back room, and it's all dark, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you feel like you're doing something illegal.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: It's very odd.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I want to go even less now.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to be there.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: So, how do you guys feel about... Looks like we're
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: not getting Star Trek United.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Raise your hand if you thought that there was even
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a remote possibility that it was going to happen.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't really think so either.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, these baiting... Oh, God. And then... you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: see all these news things from collider and places like that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: It was like, Hmm. oh, Discovery Season 9 is coming,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: or Lower Decks Season 6 is right around the corner
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: coming in November. And it's like, oh, you're talking about
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a spec script for a comic book that never came out. Okay,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: thanks for the heads up.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Well, speaking of that, are we doing news on the merger?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Is there another story? I don't want to jump on it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: No, there's nothing new.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Then I'll just say it now. We're going to see
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: more comic books. I guarantee it. Because now you have
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Warner Brothers and Paramount under the same banner of Skydance.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Warner Brothers owns DC Comics. They don't own the rights
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: to make movies about DC characters. They own DC Comics.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Skydance has its own comic book company in-house in the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: same way as when Disney acquired Marvel. Now, suddenly, all
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the Disney properties have Marvel comic books. There's no licensing.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: It's done in-house. They own it. Yes, they own it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Right now, IDW has the contract for For Star Trek comics,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and I guarantee that it's not going to get renewed.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: And they're going to do that in-house. And the good
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: news about that, I mean, I don't really read comics anymore,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: but the good news about that is I'm sure the
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: process for getting some of these stories made is going
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to be streamlined.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: And maybe we are going to get some cool stuff.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I was watching clips yesterday on YouTube for the Batman
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and Ninja Turtles cartoon movie that came out a few
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: years ago. And then it occurred to me like now
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: with the merger, you could make a live action version
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: of this if you wanted to.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: True.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I would want that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But I'm just saying you could.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Another animated movie might be fun because that was a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: cool kind of thing.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: You know, something occurred to me. So a few years ago,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I was going through the notes on my phone.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And I found something from like, I'd be like six
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: years ago. But we each pitched our own idea for
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: a Star Trek four movie. Okay. the J.J. Abrams version.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And I reread my pitch, and I thought to myself,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: you know, this would never get made as a movie,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: but they could totally do this as a comic book.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: And now that DC is in-house, I'm wondering if they're
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: going to have outside submissions, if someone can submit. Oh, yeah, maybe.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: And I thought, you know what? That whole.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Storyline is going nowhere. They're not, they're not making another movie. Um,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: but the, the story that I wrote kind of ties
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: up all the loose ends and, and ties up that universe.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe they would do it. Maybe they would
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: do a comic. Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So, so if, if I can read some of these, um, for.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Those listening, I, so this is the.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Combine Warner brothers, paramount company will be called skydance. Uh,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the TV assets are things like, uh, TNT, CBS, CNN, MTV, uh, the, TCM,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: is that Turner Classic Movies?
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Showtime, Adult Swim, DC Studios, Paramount +, Nickelodeon, HBO, Comedy Central,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and Cartoon Network. And some of the film rates are
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Star Trek, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, DC Comics, Tom and Jerry, Harry Potter,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Citizen Kane, Transformers, Quiet Place, Looney Tunes, The Conjuring, Mortal Kombat,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, Dora the Explorer, Mission Impossible, The Lord
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the Rings, SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar, Last Airbender, Teenage Mutant
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles, Dune 3 distribution rights, Minecraft distribution rights, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: MonsterVerse distribution rights. That's a lot.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait for a Mortal Kombat game with Paw
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Patrol stages.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Crossover potential.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Gremlins.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Which they're coming out with a new movie!
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Dude, you could literally have Bill Shatner yelling, there's a
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: gremlin on the wing of the Enterprise now.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There was a teaser poster for Gremlins 3 that's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: coming out not next year.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a little video. Guys, Tribbles versus Gremlins.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Who could reproduce faster?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: That would be a fun comic book, Tribbles versus Gremlins.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You give the Tribbles a silo of grain. You give
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the Gremlins a swimming pool.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You could have Tom and Jerry and the cat doctor
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: from Lower Deck.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: There you go. Throw in a little Dora the Explorer.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Sure, why not? There's a lot of different combinations you
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: can do and I'm sure they'll do it and they'll
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: make their money back because they need to because this
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: company is billions of dollars in debt.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: They're going to start putting out some movies.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: With the cage.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Dan, did you see the Ghostbuster commercial?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Is he talking about the The Rivian car? That one.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's referring to, but I did
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: see that Rivian car. That looks pretty fun.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I thought that was AI at first.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: No, Bill Murray was on it, too.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything anymore. I watched this
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: clip last night, and it was Al Bundy sitting on
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: his couch, and there's a knock at the door, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Sylvester Stallone were at
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the door to take Kelly on a date. And they
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: looked like they walked out of 1985. Oh, wow. And
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: it looked absolutely perfect.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: And it sounded absolutely perfect. Yeah. It's scary.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been watching some Star Wars fan-created AI stuff
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that's really compelling. Like Luke talking to Force Ghost Anakin.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Like a difficult conversation between the two of them of
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: how Padme died. Yeah. And I'm like, man, I would
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: love to insert this somewhere. Yeah. You know? I mean,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it's not perfect, but it's 98%. Yeah. You know, as
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: far as they got to get the dialogue a little
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: bit more polished. Of course, then again, maybe that's part
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of recreating Lucas stuff, but.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Well, of course, it gets everywhere.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's all the news stories. I guess we
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: should get to the main topic.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I've got– can I do my– Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple things. So, first of all, I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the Grand Rapids Comic Con that's coming.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Save the date, November 13th, 14th, and 15th. This is
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: going to be at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I've gone there covering the con for TrekCast for the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: last few years. It's always great. I mean, it's got
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: just about everything that a larger Comic-Con would have. These
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: people also put on the Kalamazoo Comic-Con, kind of a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: smaller satellite Comic-Con in Kalamazoo. But the DeVos place is huge.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: They've got a ton of hotels around. There's something for everybody.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: If you've ever been to a Comic-Con, you know that
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of every genre there. They've got
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of celebrity guests. They've got the Harp Twins
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and the Wolfgang Twins. They come up and do this
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: really cool musical presentation. It's all free once you get in.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: They've got every kind of type of celebrity from comic
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: book artists. Daniel Jake the Snake from the famous wrestler.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: At least that's what I've been told.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was a wrestler.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: They've got panels of all kinds. These celebrity guests do
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: panels and talk about your favorite TV show or movie.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be involved in the Starfleet International panel.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to be going there and talking a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: little bit about TrekCast and representing that. Nice. Yeah, make
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: sure you get your tickets. Grand Rapids Comic Con at

  Speaker 4: Nice.

  Speaker 3: You know, they call them Comic-Cons, but they're really not.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: You know, there's so much other stuff there.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It's Pop Culture Con.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but these things grew out of Comic Cons. So
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: to change the name now, it's too late. This isn't
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: a phone.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: This is a phone.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: We just call it a phone.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is something completely different, but it grew out
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: of a telephone, so that's what it's called now. Right.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: And it's wide-reaching. Like I said, there's something there for everybody.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I've got some friends that are coming. They're not into
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: superhero stuff. They're not into sci-fi stuff. but they are
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: into like anime, you know, and there's a ton of
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that there or like old school video games. There's Ghostbusters,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the 501st, uh, the, the Stormtrooper, the Star Wars, uh,

  Speaker 1: you know, super respectful, uh, I've I've I've made connections there.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: You know, that's how I met Katie Nicolau, the meteorologist
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: from Lansing. She'll probably do some of the. some of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the panels. But yeah, it's it's just a great place.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It's so go check it out. I also have a
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: couple of Star Trek celebrity death news. Oh, okay, yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: That's always fun.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Give us some of that. Yeah, this actually happened a
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: while ago. James Sloan, he died in July 22nd. He
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: played the Romulan admiral, or the defector. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: He was also Dr. Maura Pohl.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Who worked with Odo on Deep Space Nine. And he
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: played Jatrell on Voyager. He was the one that came
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: up with that cascade that destroyed all of Neelix's people. Oh, yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So he passed away in July. And then also Garrett Graham.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: So Garrett Graham played... He was Tosk. In the season
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: one episode of Deep Space Nine. But you probably more
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: recognize him as Q from the Star Trek Voyager episode.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I believe it was Q.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Death Wish.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Death Wish. That's it. That's it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: So he passed away last month.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: A couple of memorable side characters.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I loved him as Quinn in Death Wish.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Really cool.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Really cool character. And one of only a handful of
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Qs that we've seen other than Q. We saw Q's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: girlfriend or wife. We saw the Q from the one
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: where he got his powers stripped away that gave his
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: powers back. So we haven't seen a.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Lot of him. I think that was Corbin Bernson, wasn't it?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I think it was.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah, he was the one
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: that showed up in the show of craft. All right,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you got your powers back.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wearing his unitard.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Star Trek loves its unitards.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: They really do.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: They really do.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: They did. We don't see them too often anymore. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: there was a period of time where it was like, oh,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to wear these in the future. So just
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: get with the program. Just start buying them now.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who did the costume? Was it Michael West? No,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: he did the makeup. Who did the costume in like
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the 90s? Can we get some more spandex over here?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It's just like a baby onesie, and they're like, oh, yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: We'll just keep wearing these.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Can you make those but really big?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: But not too big.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Colors?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Do you have gray and muted purple?
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Oh, God. All right. Well, what are we doing here?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's get to our main topic. We're going
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: to be talking lanterns. So here we go.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Fun will now commence.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: So it just finished last week. Lanterns season one, maybe
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the only season we don't really know. Season two hasn't
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: been announced yet. So currently on Rotten Tomatoes. Let's see.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: What is the score? We have got a 91 percent
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: with critics and a 69 percent with audiences. So a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: little bit of a divide, but not horrible.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: How did that track over the season? Because more than
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: a few people were really excited about this show, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: not so much with the final episode.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from what I saw, let me see if I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: can find the lanterns, that chart thing that we found before.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I do know the first four episodes, from what I remember,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: people loved. And then it kind of fell off a
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: cliff there.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Um, okay. Well, there was some slow flashback episodes where,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and I, I, I get it. I understand
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: why the critics are so high in the audience is like, eh,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: because as audience members, people like me, like the layman,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: we're just, I'm just like, you know, a dog chasing
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a car. You know, I, I don't, I don't know
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm looking at.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I just want to be entertained for, you know, critics like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you know, people who have a brain like Daniel, you know,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: he's looking for the deeper meaning of everything and often
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: finds it. I, I don't have that.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: You forget Daniel also likes Paddington.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, well.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: He's got some deep brains. And professional wrestling. And professional wrestling, yeah.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you're overselling it.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: So basically, shut up, Scott.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: All right, so what do we got here for the season? Yeah,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: episode three, that was the flashback.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: One, right?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: That was the flashback episode, yeah. Where we learned about
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: his life. Yeah, so the lowest scoring ones are the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: flashback episode and the season finale.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the finale was, you know, except for the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: flashback episode, was the lowest rated episode.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: And I see it. I do, too.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I kept waiting for stuff to happen in the finale.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I was waiting for stuff to happen, and I was
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: waiting for stuff to unhappen. Yeah. And it didn't. Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, well, what the hell, man?
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: From a storyline point of view, it was fantastic. Fantastic.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: But everybody, you know, I'll, I'll say the quiet part.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to see some ring shit.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, I get what, okay. So spoilers guys,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: we're just going to rip it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Um, I get what they were going for with the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: season finale in that John Stewart was no longer beholden
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: to his programming. So Noah would no longer be beholden
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: to his programming. And that's why they all kind of
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: did their own thing and, and kind of went their
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: own ways. Um, so I get that. I get the
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: parallel of how you want to do that, but it's.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Just, we needed a fight, man. We, you know, well,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: here's the thing with that. Um, I'm fairly certain that
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: this was a low budget show. Oh yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: And ring shit costs money. Yeah. Um, after the first episode,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I commented on how much I like flying effects. When
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Hal Jordan takes off at the taco place, stand. I
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: think I described it as him just falling up in
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: a straight diagonal line and it just looks so cool
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: and natural to me. Every other flying scene after that
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: looked awful.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely awful.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: When Hal wants to survey the town and he just
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: flies straight up in the air and looks around and
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: then falls. I mean, he was 100% absolutely on a
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: wire and it looked so unnatural. It looked so awkward.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: The very final scene where, uh, well, I'm sorry. When, uh,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: when guy lands in front of the jail.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Awful. Yeah.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: He was, he was on a, he wasn't even on
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: a wire. It's like, it's like they had a crane
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and just lowered him down. Just lowered him down. No,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: we don't have a harness. Just hold on to, just
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: hold on to this rope. We're only going to shoot
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: you from the waist down. So it doesn't matter. Just
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: hold on to this rope. Oh, he's spinning. Hold on.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Do it again.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: That looked awful. The final one where John charges the
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: ring and then just starts levitating and kind of falls
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: forward slightly before taking off. It looked awful. It looked
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: absolutely awful. So that says to me that they were
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: working on a budget and that's why there's not a
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: lot of ring stuff.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chesbis says about $ 18 million an episode.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Which I don't think is a lot.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: It's not a lot.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Not for the CGI you need. For an episode of TV, yeah,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: that's a lot.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: And they even made a meta joke about it. When
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: we're in 2026 and Hal and John meet at the
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: diner and Hal says, did you see the gym teacher
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: on TV? Talking about Guy Gardner. And he says something
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: to the effect of somebody should tell him his contracts
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: don't have to be so green.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: And the meta joke, the meta joke is TV budget,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: motion picture budget. Right. Yep. Yep.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: You know, Hal's making bottle openers and Guy is making big,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: giant middle fingers that are tossing tanks across the battlefield.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, that's what we wanted to see because the biggest,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: coolest thing. And you will see it.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: You will see it. Yeah. You'll see it six months
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: from now.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Man of Tomorrow comes.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Out, and there's supposedly two Green Lanterns in that movie. Yeah.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And the coolest, biggest construct that we saw was something
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: that helped them dig.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yay.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Quiet Guy says, Forever Lantern fan. Liked the show, but
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the ending had me scratching my head. Starting with the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Manhunter in Rushville and ending the show with the Manhunter
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: in Rushville. So what was the point? Uh, the, the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: point was that they, they changed their programming or broke
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: for free from their programming, both John Stewart and the Manhunter.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: That's what you're supposed to get away with.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: And there isn't a Manhunter in Rushville cause he's going
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: to college.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: That's right. Him and Gorilla Guard going to evil villain college.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah. He's going to be a Husker baby.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, so they did make a difference in the end, right?
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I guess. I guess.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like, uh, It wasn't like that Big Bang
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Theory episode where they point out the fact that Indiana
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Jones played no part in the end of the first movie. Like,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: if he hadn't been around, then the Nazis still would
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: have found the Ark, opened it up, and everybody would
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: have died. That's right. That's it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Thanks for nothing.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Because, honestly, man, Zoe, the original Manhunter, she didn't seem
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: like an awful person to me. Like, she helped the town.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She got John Laid.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. She killed Abin Sor.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. There's that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: That's true. Fair point.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Is that comic-related?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: No, they made that up for the show. All that's
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: comic-related is Avansoar needs to die. Yeah. A-Wolf, am I
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: late to the lantern?
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing lanterns this week. Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: And Chazbiz, maybe he likes show tunes.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Who, Avansoar?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: We never know.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I know we've asked this question before.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I'm going to ask it again. Even though we literally
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: watched them dig up his body, you still think Hal's dead?
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Well, they gave themselves an out, right? Because Sinestro said,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I can bring you back to life.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: For real. So I think Hal is dead, but.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: So what do you think that entails? What he's saying there?
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Because I have some theories. I have some ideas, but
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I want to hear what you guys think.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I thought they were going to do it as he was...
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: The one that had a hole in his head was a...
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: What do they call him? Replicant or.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Sentry or whatever.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I could see that. I could see them introducing the
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Black Lanterns.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Black Lanterns bring people.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Gave Black Rings.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: That could have been a tease for that. You know,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: it's Green Lantern, man. They can make up all sorts
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: of funky bullshit and just say, oh, we went to
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: this planet and got this device. And with the power
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: of the Green Ring and that device, it'll bring you back.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll be the first to admit, I'm
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a comic book poser. I haven't read physical comic books
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: to get any information. Everything I get is from Wikipedia,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: watching the movies, watching the shows.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: So I read comic books, but I read comic books
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: 25 years ago.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Anything newer than that, I know from Wikipedia or TV
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: shows or podcasts or whatever. I haven't physically read a
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: comic in a long time. But I notice what a
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: lot of... what a lot of modern comic book movies
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: will do is they won't tell the exact story from
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: the comic, but they'll take this piece from this era
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: and this piece from this era and this piece from
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: this era and kind of weave them together to, to,
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: to make a story. You know, there was, there was
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: an infinite, there were infinity stones in Marvel comics. There
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: was an infinity gauntlet in Marvel comics. It didn't happen.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Right. Like the way it happened in the movies. But
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: they took these nuggets and they weaved them together. There
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: was a story in the late 90s. So after Hal
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Jordan had gone crazy, become Parallax, killed all the Guardians
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: except one. One Guardian escaped to Earth with one ring
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: and one lantern and gave it to Kyle Rayner. And
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: he was the last Green Lantern. for a few years,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: it was only one green lantern in the DCU and
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: it was this guy. And there was a storyline where
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: he got thrown back in time and he was in
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: like the 1980s and he met Hal Jordan of the
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: 1980s and they had some team ups in the 1980s.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: And then when he got sent home, uh, 1980s, Hal
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: came with him accidentally. And then you had, uh, like
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: six months of issues where Hal from the 1980s was
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: in current day, interacting with the rest of the DC universe.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: And they all are treating him strangely because, Hey, you're
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: the guy who killed everyone last year, but no, I'm
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: not that guy.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: But you're going to be that guy. And they ended
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: up sending him back to his own. Well, he entered
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: parallax at that point. So parallax is interacting with his,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: his former self. And that, that Hal is, Goes back
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: to his own time, but before he does, he gives
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: a ring to Kyle because the rings from his era
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: had the ability to replicate themselves. Gave it to him
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: and said, you know, it's your job to use this
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: to rebuild the Lantern Corps. So my thought is they
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: may be weaving some of these threads together. if Sinestro
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: is saying, I can bring you back from the dead,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: he wasn't speaking to Hal Jordan. He was speaking to
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: 10 years ago, Hal Jordan. I can bring you back
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: from the dead. Not that guy in the ground. He's gone.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: But I can bring you an earlier version of Hal,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: the good version of Hal. Okay, I can bring you
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: back from the dead. Now, my other thought with that is,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: The whole thing about as soon as you charge that ring,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: the hologram is going to disappear. Yeah, that's fine. There's
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: like 12 nerd alerts in here. Warning!
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Warning!
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Nerd alert!
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Nerd alert!
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure. Let me finish this thought.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, go for it.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: So the whole thing about the ring is dying, but
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: as soon as you charge the ring, the hologram is
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: going to be erased and disappear. I never understood why
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: that made any sense. That hologram has been in the
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: ring for 10 years at that point, Hal has recharged
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: that ring a thousand times.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Why is it suddenly that it's going to disappear? Okay.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: So my thought is that ring was not charged on
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: a green lantern battery. It was charged on a hybrid
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: green lantern, yellow lantern battery. So maybe that hologram is
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: not erased. It's in the battery. now. And if it's
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: in the battery and it's interacting with yellow energy, maybe
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: that's how we get Parallax. Parallax is an evil version
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: of 1980s Hal or 1990s Hal or whatever it was.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: And then when that storyline concludes, they can use that
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: to bring 1990s Hal back to life. Just some ideas.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: That could be Green Lantern's movie. I mean, I don't
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: think we're talking about a Man of Tomorrow storyline.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about Man of Tomorrow. No,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: there's a whole different thing.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to try the big success of Marvel,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and then the DC movie franchise tried to replicate that,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: except they kind of did it backward, where they kind
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: of introduced a bunch of them at the same time.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I think maybe they'll go back to the original formula
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and do a bunch of independent movies and then try
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: to do it justice.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, Man of Tomorrow is starting to sound like
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: a Justice League movie already.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: It's got a lot of characters in it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Doesn't it?
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: AWOL Fast is a season two going to be greenlit,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: pun intended. It hasn't yet. Nobody knows. Nobody knows.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: They just spent a lot of money. They need to
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: make some money.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: They need to put out some content. Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: They need a Batman movie, man.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: This was a very popular piece of content. um yeah
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: they're gonna i mean it's it's like the like the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: third highest watched hbo show in history or something so
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: i saw this i saw this stat the other day
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: they said you know the show was averaging 19 million
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: viewers an episode which is the same as what the
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: game of thrones finale got yeah so uh if you
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: ask me yeah oh there's definitely gonna be a second
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: season they have to they'd be stupid not to yeah i.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Don't know i i've seen a lot of complaints um
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Do you guys know about Surf Dracula? Do you know
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: about this?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Who doesn't?
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Dracula?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: So it comes from a tweet from a few years ago.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: It says, back in the day, if you did a
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: TV show called Surf Dracula, you would see that fool
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: surfing around in a nude venture. But in the streaming era,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: we get an entire first season. That's going to be
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: a long-ass flashback on how he got his surfboard, and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: you don't finally see him surf for the last five
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: minutes of the finale.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Right? So.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what they did with Landers.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: We want to see some surfboard shit.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I need to see that pool surfing.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Season two.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Need to make up for that.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: So, overall, we like the season.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: We all wanted to see some more ring crap. Yeah.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Again, I was disappointed with the last episode, but I mean,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: it's the first time in a long time. Because it's
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: a streaming show. Yeah, it comes out on Sunday, but
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: you watch it whenever you want.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: First time in a long time that Sunday night, nine
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: Oh five, I'm grabbing my son, like finish up what
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: you're doing. Cause I'm watching lanterns. And if you want
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: to watch it with me, come on down.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Did you guys watch the penguin show?
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: I did not.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Not yet.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I would say the penguin show was better.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: It's really good.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: I only saw the Batman once. Okay.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Same.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: So maybe I will watch that again. I watched it
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: once and I was like, all right, that's okay.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know what all the fuss is about. Yeah.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: i'll watch it again before i see i got some
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: homework to do because my son asked me he's dad
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: the new avengers movie's coming out can we can we
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: re-watch everything after endgame okay that's a lot of stuff
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: to watch we gotta make a list i said there's
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of tv shows in there buddy and some
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: of those shows have you know 20 episodes.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah i think well in the new list of what
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: to watch the new wanda or the new vision Quest
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: is coming out too.
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: So I need to re-watch WandaVision. I need to finish
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Agatha because I never finished it.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I never finished it either. Yeah.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Because I really want to see Vision Quest. But I
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: don't want to do it backwards. I don't want to
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: watch Vision Quest and then go watch the other ones
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: again so it makes sense.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I saw like a quick interview with Terry Metallus
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: and he says that you don't need to do all
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: the homework for vision quests that they kind of bring
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: you up to speed on everything as it happens.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I've heard you do want to rewatch Loki before you watch. Yeah.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Jacob, I'm thinking about rewatching Gotham.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: If you want to.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good series.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: I never got into it.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: I watched the first, I watched the first season of it,
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. it was a good grounded series. It pulled you
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: out a couple of times. The, the biggest time was, uh,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: they actually went to like an Acme bad guy store
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: once to get their bombs and traps. That kind of
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: brought me out of it a little bit.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Okay. I was gonna say grounded. That felt pretty wacky
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: every time I watched it. I, other than that, I
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: thought it was pretty good.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was, you.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, but, So one thing I learned last year
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: is I rewatched the flash from beginning, from beginning to
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: end with my son.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. With my son. He was very excited the whole time. So,
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: you know, there were some times there where it was
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: a slog.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: And, and I pushed through it and I've kind of
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: come to the conclusion that you don't have to rewatch everything.
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: If it wasn't good the first time, just, just let
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: it be.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, he's my son. If he
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: wants to watch this stuff with dad so he can
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: go see the movie with dad. I mean, he's 14.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I got a few more years where he wants to
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: do shit with me.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: And then I'm going to be I'm going to be
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: nobody for about 10 years. Yeah. Until he comes back around. So,
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: you know, if he wants to watch My Little Pony,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: the movie, that's.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: What we're doing.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Popcorn, buddy. Yeah. Yeah.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: For sure. Okay.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Well, should we get to listener feedback then? Yeah, let's
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Listener feedback. We did get a voicemail about lanterns.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: That's why I was asking about that.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Let them know how they can join us too.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we are all over social media, TrekCastTNG.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: We're on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, X, whatever you call it, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: We're all over the place. And then, of course, if
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: you want to leave us a voicemail, you can give
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: us a call at 570-661-0001. That's 570-661-0001. And, of course,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: if you want to join us on the show, just
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: X up in the chat, hit an X, and we'll
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: bring you on. And while we're waiting for people to
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: do that, let's play our voicemail that we got.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: All right. the ground approach kind of reminds me of
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: a Green Lantern, Green Arrow comic that was released, I
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: think it was back in the 70s, about ground level
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: crime and whatnot. The lantern at the end having a
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: mix of yellow and green. I almost wonder if that
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: might be an incubator for parallax and they can use
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: parallax looking for a host vessel and they can use
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Hal Jordan's body. So I think they've become a Vessel
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: for Parallax and Comics, so that'd be kind of cool.
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: Hal Jordan, or main guy, forget his name.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: For the moment.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Jon Stewart there becomes an independent contractor. Thought that was
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: kind of cool as well, see where they take that.
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: The finale kind of felt like a mid-season finale.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Couldn't get more episodes.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: These short seasons on modern-day television kind of sucks, but
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: oh well, see what it takes from there and see
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: what happens.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: So what I was saying earlier about taking little bits
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: and pieces out of different storylines and weaving them together,
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: there was a period in the early night where Guy
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Gardner was no longer a Green Lantern, but he was
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: still a hero. Because I think Sinestro was in prison,
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: and I don't remember how, but he got a hold
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: of Sinestro's Yellow Ring. Yeah. And he was using Sinestro's
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Yellow Ring to continue to operate as a superhero.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Had all the same powers as Green Lantern, but they
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: were yellow, i.e. he was an independent contractor. Right. So
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: we may see at some point the roles, the situations flip.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: John is the official Green Lantern of Sector 2814, and
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Guy is the independent contractor with his yellow ring.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Just an idea.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Could be.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: And now that D.C., and Star Trek are under one banner,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to figure out the sector situation.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Is Earth sector 2814, or is it sector 001? It
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: can't be both. It can't be both.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: No, it cannot.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: They got to get on that. They got to get
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: their shit together.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: This is what matters.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: This is what matters. This is what matters.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: And here's a nerd alert for you. There is a
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Green Lantern of Vulcan.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: He has appeared in DC Comics. He has the Spock haircut.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: He has pointed ears. But the word Vulcan is generic
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: enough that they could get away with.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Now they don't have to worry about it. They can
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: just do it.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: There's a Vulcan, Michigan.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: There's a Vulcan, Michigan. Vulcan was.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: There's a Romulus, Michigan, too.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: There's a Romulus, New York. But I think Vulcan was
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: the name of a moon that was later proven to
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: not be... not be real yeah make hair it's great
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: again yeah yeah it's great what do you mean we're
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: always great man that's right baby that's great.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: That's right all right we got we got chas is
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: waiting in the celestial temple been watching him drink his
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: coffee there he is oh yeah it's real baby real yeah.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: What's up chas biz not much.
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: What'd you think of lanterns uh i i wanted actual
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: cg and special effects on this.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: One you wanted some ring shit i wanted some.
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: Ring stuff i mean yeah just kind of like that
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: last episode was so anti-climactic you know it was just
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: like no one's.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Going to nebraska aren't you happy it's gonna be a
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: husker yeah.

  Speaker 5: Yeah he's gonna he's gonna be a husker i.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Wanted i want a t-shirt of uh of daniel and
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: the word bubble just says where's the ring shit yeah yeah.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, I coined it. I want some revenue from that.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, that mom wanted him to play football so
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: bad that she just popped him right in the head. Yeah,
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: it was crazy. I mean, that was like the quickest.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: I was like, wait, that's how he dies?
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: You've got to be kidding me.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: He spends 10 years in prison, gets out. Everybody hates
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: him in the town. He stays in the town. They
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: try to burn down his house. And then I guess
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: the one kid clones him or does something to him.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Well, as far as her killing him, I read somewhere
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: online and it made sense. She has shot at him
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: before and almost as a demonstration. And part of it
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: could be explained away that she didn't premeditatedly murder him
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: or even accidentally murder him. She might have expected him
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: to put a shield up and just forgot that he
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: didn't have a ring.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's not going to hold up.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: It's not going to hold up in court.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe not in the Superior Court of New York, but
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying. I couldn't walk into a
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: court and say, well, your honor, I just thought he
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: was going to raise shields. Yeah, exactly.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: You testified to that in the 2814 Appellate Division preliminary hearing.
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: No.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Even the prosecutor will say, okay, insanity plea, we'll talk
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You're going to be bunk mates with Sinestro. on
• 57:44

  Speaker 1: More action, less sex.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: He's looking at Ma Kent. Hey, what's up? How you doing?
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: At that end, I wanted Jon Stewart to go home
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: and punch his dad right in the face and then
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: slap his mom for shooting the apples. Or just bring
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: a bag of apples and just start I.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to walk on screen eating an apple, just
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: for those that know, you know?
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Kyle, I just thought about something. You know, in Spider-Man,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Aunt May kept getting younger and hotter. They've done the
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: opposite with Mrs.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Kent.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. Yes.
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: She keeps on getting older and older.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: So did John take Hal's plant?
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: It's in the background.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: It's at his parents' house.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: It was in the episode before, right?
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, is it.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: Because it said, originally it said Earl Jordan. Is it
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Earl Stewart now? Did they adopt him? Is there a
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: name change? Maybe.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I think they brought in too many names, too many
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Green Lanterns to keep track of. I want to see
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Alan Scott in the next one.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: Not going to happen. I'm a person that knows very
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: little of Lanterns, right? I've seen the movie. I've seen
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: a cartoon that was like with Hal Jordan, how he
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: got the ring and fought Sinestro, which is actually pretty good.
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think which one.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: It was like a DC. I was going to say,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: because I just started watching Brightest Day.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: I think it might have been Brightest Day. I think
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: it came out like 2010, 2011.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: It was, you know.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Like a movie, right?
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a.
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: Movie, but the cartoon movie was better than the Ryan Reynolds,
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: of course.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: They did an animated Green Lantern TV show in the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: early 2000s.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: CGI, right?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: I would like to know about the rings and all
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: that because I'm a normie on this. I don't know
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: hardly anything about Green Lantern. I've got to say the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: actors they picked for the show. The characters, because they're
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: all assholes to each other.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I've got to say Kyle Chandler, Pierre.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jean something Pierre.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: The guys that.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Played Hal, the guys that played John, I thought they
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: did a fantastic job in there.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Aaron Pierre, that's what it is.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: In their respective roles.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: Acting was great. Give me some more lore on the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: ring and everything. I would love that.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Somebody pointed out that had Kyle Channer played Hal Jordan
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: in the original Green Lantern movie, he could have had
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: a big movie run like Iron Man style, like Robert
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Downey Jr., because he did so well with that character.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: I kind of see it, man. Let me ask you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: guys something. When was the last time you watched that
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: 2011 movie? It's not as bad as people say it is.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: You can enjoy it for what it is.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: I rewatched it a few years ago. You know what
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: I would love to see? I would love to see
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: somebody go back and edit out the CGI costume. Put
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: something similar to what we saw Kyle Chandler wearing. Because
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of what I didn't like about that was
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: just the look Yeah. Of the, of the costume, but
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: I rewatched it.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't that bad.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: No, the story was not that bad. I don't think
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds was the right person.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: To play that part. Cause he, he's too snarky. Well that, yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: So a lot of times, yeah. A lot of his,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of his earlier work is, uh, is Van
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: Wilder as green lantern.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: And, but even then it didn't make it unwatchable. It's
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: not a bad, it's not a bad movie. If they
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: had kept going, that could have been their Iron Man.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: They could have built a universe around that movie. And
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: it's a shame that they didn't. So that was 15
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: years ago at this point. We had 15 years of
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: reboots and false starts and some absolute trash.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: But if you had Kyle Chandler in that movie, even
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: with the bad effects, I think you would have gotten
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: a sequel.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe you clean up the, the design style, but you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: had him in it. It would be good.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: If you had Nathan Fillion.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: 2011.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Hal Jordan, which is what everybody wanted for years.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: For years. I mean, he's fine. He's fine. As Guy Gardner.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: It will put that on too. And like, there's a
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: slight delay between us and so yeah. Great minds think alike.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, he's okay. As Guy, I don't mind it. Um,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: I think he would have been better as hell 15
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: Well, Guy Gardner have a new haircut for the next movie.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: If anything, it'll be more of a bowl cut where
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: it'll be shaved on the bottom, which I would actually
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: prefer that. There's going to be a cut scene where
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: they're actually cutting it.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: So the thing with him, you know, I like Nathan Fillion.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: He's fine as Guy Gardner, but Guy is supposed to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: be jacked.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: He actually... I remember reading in the comics, I'm not
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: sure exactly how he did it, but he used his
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: ring to beef up his own body. I don't know
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: if he used it for isometrics, where you're just using
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: your own muscle and working against your own muscle. Theoretically,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: he could use the ring to construct a shell around
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: his body for the purpose of making every movement I make,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: make it twice as hard as it needs to be.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: The ultimate total gym.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Yes. And that would build his muscle. So, I mean,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Guy is supposed to, I mean, he's a gym teacher.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: He's supposed to be, you know, he's supposed to be
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: this athletic guy. I'm sorry. Physical educator.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Physical educator.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: Athletic director.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Athletic director. That's what it was. Go climb a rope
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: is what he told me.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Go climb a rope.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: So, I didn't know this, but I saw this in
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: a YouTube video and I looked it up and apparently
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: it's true. Guy Gardner, the reason why he doesn't feel
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: fear is he was hit by a bus.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes, he has brain damage. He has brain damage.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. I do love that.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: That's why he's kind of a dick, too, because he's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: got brain damage and he doesn't know any better.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: PSA kids, don't go hit by a bus thinking a
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: TBI is going to get you super.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Fearlessness. It might make you a dick, but.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: I did like the showdown in jail.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Between John and Guy.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: He basically says, everything you have, you have because I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: gave it away. Mm-hmm. Because I refused it or, you know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: you owe me. Yeah. You owe me. And I think
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: that set the tone for the relationship between the two
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: of them. Mm-hmm. which makes the last scene with them work.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Where John's like, you know, where guys like, Oh, the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: guardians aren't going to stand for this. They're going to
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: send an army. And he's like, tell him to come.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: I'll give a shit.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: I got no problem. Yeah.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Bring them. You are a little, maybe not intimidated, but
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: he looked a little bit like, Oh no, no, he
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: was intimidated. He was intimidated. And this is the same
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: guy that got in Superman's face.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: You know, he was bringing on big blue. Yeah.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: He was intimidated because he said, this is the guy,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: the Guardians wanted this guy. They settled for me. This
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: guy spent his whole life training for them. It was
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: just thrust upon me.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: And he's not afraid of me.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: And his ring isn't even charged.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: I think I'm in over my head. Yeah.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Jacob asked, what kind of suit do we think Stewart
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: will get? I mean, with James Gunn, it'll probably be
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: a comic accurate suit, you know? In Man of Tomorrow.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I have a bunch of lines on it for no reason.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Full leather. Full leather.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: I think, and I hope, I think, and I hope
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: that he replicates Hal's suit.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: As a military guy, I think he would want that.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: The word is uniform.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: Yes. He's not part of the Corps. He's an independent contractor. Yeah,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but even independent contractors wear fatigues. You know, even
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: if they're black or not the same, you know, it's
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: the same cut.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: Onesie. Spandex.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: SWAT wears the same exact uniform as the Army does,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: just a different color. Right.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: I could see, like, remember in Guardians of the Galaxy 3,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: the kind of Nova Corps type of suits that the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: guys wore? I'm trying to find the image so I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: can show you. Okay, I found it.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: These kind of like red and blue suits. I could
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: see like a style of that, but Green Lantern.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: I kind of want to see what Kyle Chandler was
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: wearing in action.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: It looked good. I didn't have any complaints about that uniform.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: My complaint is that we didn't see it in action.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: We never saw it. We saw it on a hanger
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: and we saw him talking to Sinestro wearing it. Yeah.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: And we saw him sitting in a chair talking to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: a reporter. That's it.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: What happened to Jon Stewart's bird?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Didn't it disappear when he got the lantern back to Hull?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Also, did they ever explain how he was able to
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: project that without the ring?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: In the comics, it ends up Jon Stewart can project
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Green Lantern constructs just through his own within him.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: So he's got the right metachlorians inside of him.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: He's essentially a living battery.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: He's gonna say the same shit.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah gotcha so yeah he's space jesus he's space jesus
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: space jesus yeah so oh boy what's your thought.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: On uh the matt reeves batman being delayed.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah apparently there's a it's a family thing and it's
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: something they've known that the could have happened. And so
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: they were aware that it was potential. I know that's
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: why the script's taken so long.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: To be written.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: He was dealing with it. We don't know what it is.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: It hasn't come out. I mean, I heard rumors of
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: what it could be. So it's, they've got a pretty
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: good lid on it, whatever it is.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, i would love to see that movie
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: but if he's got family stuff i get it you
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: know who's got family stuff who are we talking about
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: matt reeves the director.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: Okay the next batman too yeah gunn can't make his
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: own batman he can't bring because matt reeves has batman
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: so that's like but it's not tied into the universe right.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: But they they talked about they were gonna do two
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: batman movies like The Matt Reeves one going and then
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: just another one.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: I think that was the deal Ellison probably made with
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 5: Gunn the other day is about Batman.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That'll be interesting. Have they cast a Batman for.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: They have not. They have not.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: I saw Jason Eccles in the running. I saw.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all just rumors.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: It's like James Bond right now. It's like all these.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: Like the Clayface movie is coming out, right? I wouldn't
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: be surprised if we see like the back... Of a Batman,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: but we never see his face.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe it ends with Clayface is running amok
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: and then looking over the city, he stands up, there's Batman,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: end of movie, you know?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Da-da-da-da-da.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: That'd be awesome.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised as that, you know?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: They bring Danny Elfman back, it'd be awesome too.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: I'd love to, yeah, I'd love that.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd love that. They gotta figure something out, because,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: you know, making these things takes three, four, five years.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Right. People lose interest.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: They forget. Yes. Yeah. You know, David Cornsweat's been at
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: this for two years at this point. Right. Well, in
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: four years, he'll be six years older than when he started. Right.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: You know, it seems like a long time, but pull
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: up Endgame, get a screenshot of Robert Downey Jr. Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: And put it next to Robert Downey Jr. in Iron
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Man 1.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: Big difference. People age fast.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You don't have a limited time.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess we're getting close to the
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: end here. So for next episode, do we want to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: start doing those documentaries, the center stage ones?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: We're all on YouTube. We're center seat. Sorry, center seat.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Center seat.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're all on YouTube. I figure we do one
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: episode at a time. So start with the first one
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: and then go from there.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: Weekly or biweekly?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. We'll see.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: We'll figure it out.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: We'll let you guys know. It's another reason why you
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: guys need to go to the Facebook page and Instagram.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of activity over there. We love that kind
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: of stuff.

  Speaker 2: be a little rougher.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: It's the holiday season, and TrekCast is going bi-weekly. And
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: then we've got to build up our strength for March
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: when– I have a feeling the academy is going to
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: leech upon us.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: Take up extra hours on Sundays.
• 1:12:14

  Speaker 3: We're coming up on 10 years. I got to check

• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: days of vacation time. There you go. You got shore leave?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: I got some shore leave.
