  Speaker 7: put it on a couple of times, so that at
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: least that part was good. And Momo Con they changed
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: the configuration a little bit. They used to be on
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: just one side of the build of the World Congress
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Center and now they so that gaming and stuff like
• 12:11

  Speaker 7: sub basement where they had the the vendors and the
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: wrestling and the cars and everything. I mean, it's just

• 12:31
  Speaker 7: bound to get a little but you know, I kept

  Speaker 7: you know that the things were clogged or something, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: it flooded like people were trying to drive through it,

  Speaker 5: on the docket.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: If I can help it, if I can help it,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: or if that's there's some funding for blood station and

  Speaker 4: that's a different story, but you can talk about that whenever.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: No, but Navy is actually he's on globe trop mode
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: right now because he was like, yeah, I got a

• 16:31
  Speaker 7: He is that cosplay is chef Kiss, Chef's Kiss. We
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: can't take two steps without somebody trying to stop him
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: for a photo. So that was part of the weekend
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: as well. He knocked it out the park.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: So Navy had his own venem Cory Kens fans in
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the building.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Cool pretty much, So yeah, let's talk about that. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Corey Tension was at Momaky as a vendor, not as
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: a guest, and yet.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: That crowd that they showed, I wish I had that footage,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: the crowd that they showed. What have you believe? He
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: was a whole guest.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: They had to have security escort him out.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, which I don't. I like Corey, I really knew,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: but maybe it's just because of who I am.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I don't really I do fanboy out about certain people,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: but to the effect of Mobby.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Is I guess the same word to say, yeah, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: don't it's not me. It's not me. I can't do it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: I missed all of that chaos. But his booth at
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: the on the floor.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Was huge.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: It was huge.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: It was it looked pretty great too. I mean it
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: was simple. You had the walls and then you had
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: the I guess panels on the walls. I got some
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: footage of that, and I don't know what exactly what
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: they were selling, but there were handing out stickers and wristbands.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Oh that crowd that had was.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: I'm like, wait a minute, you would think, did I say,
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: you would have thought Michael Jackson in the building, the
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Samurai run deep.
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: And of every age group that is that is proper
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: longevity on the internet for you, and especially now that
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: you have a tangible product people can pick up that
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: somewhat is more likely to bring you outside. So like
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: I saw people lined up, like there was the one
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: person we kept seeing in our group chat like apparently,
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: I'm like, you don't ever post an Instagram, but all
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: for your posts that you ever put up are all
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: updates about how this line is going. But so it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: like I came for this meet, Like technically it's not
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: a meet, and greedy he is there to sell books.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: No interaction you have is guaranteed being YO registered. A
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: couple of folks either kicked out or sent to the hospital.
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: WI sounded like a mosh pit. Now that's crazy.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: I got, well, I wasn't there that day, so I
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: missed it. And even if I was, I'm sure I
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: would have it would have registered for me.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Because that is wild. That is seriously, that is wild
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: to have that level of.
• 19:34

• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So like you said, like you're you're glad you didn't
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: get kicked out of the press notation basically, well.
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: Because I know, I don't know, because I know I
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: know how to behave I can't speak for everybody else.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: And this is the thing, the people that apply for press,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: you're doing press work. Okay, it's not a free it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: not a free pass for you. To come in and
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: not do anything, not give out any type of information,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: not talk about the convention, not show any kind of footage.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: It's not it's work. It is absolute work. You're there
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: to take pictures, you're there to talk about the convention.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: It doesn't have to be the entire weekend if that's
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: all you do, but you have to show something, and
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: and too many, and we're seeing people do it like
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I think they're changing it too, like well, like at
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: least with San Diego, I know they changed it to uh,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: it was Press and I think creator badges. I think
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: it's Press creator badges, and then it's another version, it's another.
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: Probably I haven't I haven't paid too much attention to that,
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: but I know a lot of people are varying. Well,
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: I know Momo con is one of the first ones
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: I ran into it. It's like, hey, if you just
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: have a platform, you might want to go the creator badge.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: Here's the link for that. I'm like, ah, maybe both.
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: So I think I think I was a creator and
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: Press the first year. I think they just let me
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: get both stickers. Yeah, I think who else is Dragon?
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: Dragon cons like that? And I think Dream is like that. Yeah,
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: I think dream cons like that now they gotta they
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: have a they've had a creator badge, but it's more
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: of a program this year to kind of get yeah,
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: make sure they are actually doing something this year versus
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: just showing up and getting a free ride, like and
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: I feel like that's kind.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Of been a great area of creator badges because it's like,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: what do y'all do?
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: Like I got one for Sonic Exbo last year, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: I was like, I was kind of annoying with how
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: much I was posting, like to the point of, like,
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: y'all can use any of this. I'm gonna just keep
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: sending these tag requests. Y'all can accept it or denied it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: It's up to y'all, just because I want to make
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: sure y'all get y'all. Y'all moneys weren't out of the
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: investment that is giving me this badge. And then even
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: the interview we did, which is like the only collab
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: on that guy's page and has gotten a lot of
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: traction from fans over the last year or so, which
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: I'm appreciative of. So yeah, Momo's cool for keeping me
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: in there, which is why I always tell wood in
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: them who's getting interviewed because I'm like, I still have
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: access to it, so uh and good on you Atlanta

• 25:06
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm sorry, I can't do the real work.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: It happens. So what's going on? Man, Let's talk about
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: a black man all right?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: So, you know, off black magazines my brain child I
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: had about four years ago where you know, I was,
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: I'm I am big into I would say the culture,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: but like specifically when we talk about like Jet and
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: VY magazine and nt OF and stuff like that, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: was like, what if we had something like that but
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: for like nerds and specifically black nerds, And so I saw,
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: I tell everybody's been like the nerd version of Jet
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: and MTY magazine. We do editorials, we do interviews, we
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: do reviews, we do convention coverage. We've done conventions all
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: over the world including Animate Japan and Comic Head along
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: with you know, dream Con and NYC and UH and
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Expo and all that kind of stuff. And then yeah,
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: then we do we do a lot of different stuff.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: And as I'm here to talk about, we have we
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: have an event coming up called Incan Panels, which is
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: the second year of us doing this event. And yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: you know, we're trying our best to uh I say
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: I say this. I say this, like our magazine, we're
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: like Thorfin you know what I'm saying. We have no
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: enemies right right A might not like be somebody got problems.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: It don't matter. It don't matter that it's not our problem.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: We ain't got no enemies, right. So we you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: we work on like bridging creators with new audiences and
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: then also bridging creators with creators and all that kind
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: of stuff. So you know, we uh we we we
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: work around the clock to get out some really cool
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: articles and also some really cool experiences. You know what.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I think that's really dope.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: And I'm glad you because as I looked at the
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: website and that's the vibe I was getting. I'm like,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: it's it's like Jet magazine or every magazine, but it's online,
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: which you know, paper publications unfortunately have gone to the wayside.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: But to have something that really fixtures it, like I'm
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: from the Air or where we had wizard World magazine.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: And so we were always reading something going on in gaming,
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: something going on in movies, something going on in television anime.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: You know, even the back of the book used to
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: have like the price Guide for comics, you know, for
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: for a short time. So it was and they did
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: a lot of interviews and stuff like that, and it
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: tied out and it sucked. That's my fan cast for
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: X Men. Actually, Patrick Stewart was the fan cast for
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: x Men in that book, you know, and he was
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Professor X.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: So let's talk about inc and Panels because just thirty
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: plus panelists, yep, it is.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: It has been a journey. So last year, first year,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: we had thirteen, so people don't know. Inco Panels, we
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: call it the largest digit creative digital seminar for getting
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: into manga, comics and animation. Last year we didn't have.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: This year we did. This year we do. And inco
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Panels another you know range me and my chief Crave
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: officer of Tyana Watts, who also runs Black and Culture.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: If you have ever seen that social media play page,
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: she we we were. You know, it's something I've always
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: wanted to do. I wanted to you know, we have
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of conventions. We got a lot of fun
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: stuff going on, right, but I thought, you know, we
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: need to get jobs right, like like you know, like
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: we need a job right And the big thing that
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: I always thought about was that it's great that we
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: have all these representation, right, you know, we have more
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: black people. Moon going Down Downatayvenough should have ran longer.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: In fact, we even had that show is awesome, right,
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: So we have always we have representation, but when you
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: look at the people making it, they don't look like us.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: It is people that don't look like us making characters
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: that look like us for us, right, And so I
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: believe in that. I believe in the idea that you
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: shouldn't just wait for somebody else to do if you
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: feel like you can do it. And so UH inco
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: and Panels is kind of our step into that. Our
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: digital seminar, which we also call kind of like a conference,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: is bringing together creatives within these spaces to mentor and
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: to give advice and then give a guidance on how
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: to get into these UH spaces. And so last year
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: UH twenty twenty five our first time, thirteen people. We
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: were able to grab in Stephanie Williams, were able to
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: get in Fred and White Manga from Saturday Am, be
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: able to get in a Lonzo from concre Comics. We
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: were able to get in the Newton LILEVOI we were
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: able to get in uh shoot, we got so many,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: so many people. We would get in so many people.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: And then this year again thirty plus this year, we
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: thank you know, I thank them, thank them so much.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Line Forge Entertainment, the writers for Leani were going to
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: be there. We also we also are focusing this year
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: and also like basically different ways to get inside the
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: creative field. So we also have executives coming. So we
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: have two. We have two executives that worked with line
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Forger and animation entrepreneur. His name is Eric Calderon. I
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: liked I like to talk about him first because he
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: worked on with have You Have You? Have you Guys Walked?
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Everyone's Black? Everybody seen a celebrity death match on MTV.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: You remember, yes, Yes, Aaron Calderan was one thing that
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: made that happen. And so he's been in the industry
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: a long time. He's been working on yas as a
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: series on YouTube called Surviving Animation something like that. We
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: talked about getting into amity fields as well, and then
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: they ALFREDA Maroon. He is a works in development for
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: animation for Ani Maide series and so we have him
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: coming talking about that that piece of it. And then
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: we have Carol Mahorne who's written for Marvel but also
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: his PR for PR for Oh for Line for Gentertainment.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: We have Coach who's done PR for Line Fumatation, Line
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: for Gentertainment, also works in the PR firm. God's Will Junior,
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: who works as at his Media. And then we have
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: Dan Dan Coyle Corle who works at Image Comics, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: they're gonna talk about marketing in PR. So like that's
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: a two problem because sometimes you might not be the
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: greatest artist or right or whatever, but you still want
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: to work in the credit field. So you have people
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: there that can tell you how to get into it,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: what it's like, where do I, where do I look?
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: What was what was different for me someone else? And
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: also the marketing piece is going to be real, to
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: be real. Sometimes we market things horribly, especially in the
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: indie comics, and if it's something y'all don't know how
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: to market right, So I said, hey, let's make something
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: to help you be able to market better because're gonna
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: ask those questions and get those answers. And so, yeah,
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: this is a lying Forger Entertainment. We have, uh, we
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: have we have Saturday and again, but it's some We
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: have White Maga, Ja Yoden and Morgan. We have Stephanie Williams. Again,
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: we have Greg Burning, we have Marcus Williams.
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: We have.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: I can keep going down unless who else.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: The people you're talking about or people we have have
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: on the show or a cross passway that it convic
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: and these are great individuals by the way, like we
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: need to see. I'm glad you have that type of
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: platform that's going the extra step because as many indie
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: cribs that we know, it's always the kickstarter, this is
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: always to go fund me, it's always something, but it's
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: just getting the word out because it's only so much
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: they can really do because they've got to concentrate on
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: the on the on the project itself, and then like
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: then they got to go to social media.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Then they have to go over the years and sometimes
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: they're just by themselves.
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: M hm.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: You know, you know what's funny.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: It's funny you say that because I tell the story
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: to everybody and I'm plaing going to one hundred more
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: times after this is that I went to blurry Con
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: about three years ago, first of my blurry Con and
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: I came home with like a big old stack of
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: comic books, black on combooks. And my mother, she's an
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: English teacher that she'll see study skills and everything at
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: a high school. And she looked you looking through that,
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: She's like, oh my gosh, she's so amazing. She said,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: if I knew about these, then I would have found
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: a way to get these into my school. I would
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: have been I would have been calling people, cause my
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: mom is that kind of person. She will she she
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: gonna find your number, she's gonna call you. Said hey,
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: I need something from you, She'll do it right. And
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: so like she's looking at you and she's like, man, like,
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: how do I get these? And said I said, uh, well,
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: uh well this person started right now, this person you
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: gotta go through kofee. This person they sometimes had it right.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: And so so I sat there and I thought about
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: it is that it's another thing. It's like, how do
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: we make it easier for people to find one place
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: right instead of having to go to twenty twenty thirty
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: eleven places for one place to one hear from these
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: people and learn what they're doing, but then two also,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: you know, patronize them and get their stuff right. And
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: so this is another way. It's like a stepping stone
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: something else. We're working on to do that, to just
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: bring these people to one one unified platform or and
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I said unify, but one platform to where people can
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: learn more about black storytelling and you know black mind comics,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: manga and animation. And then you know, because the only
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: way we can do this is we do this together, right,
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: you know, doing this a part is you know we've tried.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: We've been trying that for a long time and it
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: they've been working out super well. So we need you know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: anytime we make the attempt, we should try so well.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: A quick question I thought it was my question is
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: if money us no object for your convention, how where
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: would you want to see it?
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: Though mm hmm. So first, and this is a nippick
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: of mine, we're not a convention, and I want I
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: want to make that notice because we can be a conference,
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: you can be like a seven ar something like that,
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: not a convention because although we're gonna have fun, I said,
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: we have fun, but uh, and again I like to
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: use that word just to make sure people know there's
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: there's that idea that we're here for a purpose, like
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: for a mission and so, and that kind of goes
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: into what your with your question is that money was
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: no object. We work we were actually working on it
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: for this year, but we couldn't because of different factors.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: But we first thing we would do is go in person.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: We want to go in person for this event, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: we were looking at doing at Bowie State University. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: don't know if you guys know about Booie State. I
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: call it the nerdiest HBCU in the United States of
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: America because I went to an HPCU. They have a
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: they have an animation toy on campus from like us
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: or the people who's making wild would not people made
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: coup on the two strings people, why we may core
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: aline us like that that like it came and built
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: something on their campus. And also actually one of our
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: moderators he's actually the creator of their nerd organization called
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: New Blurred Order on there. And so we got I
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: was like, let's make sure we keep we keep giving backwards, right,
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: you know, and and also that our event is geared
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: a lot towards high school and college students. But money
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: was no object. First things first, I'd walk up, walk
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: into boo we stay and slap some money like my space.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: All right, that's first thing, the first thing I do.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Second thing is, we got this idea from one of
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: our panelisturing the meeting, is that we want to we're
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: gonna add an award show onto this. So we're gonna
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: add an award show onto this. That's something else we'd
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: want to do. And I make it basically three days.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: It'll be the way. The three days of work would
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: be weird. We've talked about it, but basically three days
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: to have an award show, two days of conferences and
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: stuff like that also funny, was no object. Man, what
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: else would we do? Man, The amount of guests we'd have,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: the amount of panels we'd have, would be phenomenal. We'd
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: have people from all over the world coming in just
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: to teach, you know, us about it. And I always say, like,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: you don't have to be very because we don't. We
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: do say like we're black owned that. I'm not shy
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: away from that, but I don't have to say straight
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: out this is for black people only. Right, I'm doing
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: it on an hbcune, ninety five percent of the panels
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: will always be black, and people are doing black stuff.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: And when we promote this, we go to places that
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: where black people are to promote this, right, and so
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: with that, like I don't I don't want just black
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: people coming and talking to us, because the people of
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: different sides like and it's a lot of people who
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: have insights from different ways. Like there was a Mangaka
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: online who's talking about diversity and Maga I can't remember
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: his name right now, very one the one to create
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: one punch man, I believe that's what it was. He
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: was on Twitter talking about how diversity, how important diversity
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: in Maga is right and stuff like that. And so
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: the world is ready for us to tell our stories
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: and get him out to different angles and they're ready
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: to work with us, right, we just have to, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: find a way to get over there. And so when
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: it was no object, I'll be flying people in from Japan.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: I'll be flying people in from France. I'll be flying
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: we would we we had we shoot, I mean, we
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: had we have so many people out there. I have, man,
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: you know, and so yeah, I like to put people
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: in weir positions. So like our panelists, if we look
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: at some of the panels there are and they've the
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: panels have told me themselves. They would have never had
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: that conversation with that other panelist if we didn't put
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: them in that panel together, not because they know, not
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: because like they didn wouldn't want to, but because we
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: are all doing our own thing. We're all containing our
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: own little bubble, right, and so we're able to with
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: this event break people out their bubble and go talk
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: to someone else and they might.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: Have told me.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: And so, yes, we've created some good relationships that we've
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: seen created between our creators to this event, which is
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: also intended for these relationships to be created. We want
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: our creators to I would love if in a couple
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: of years someone one of our careers like, yeah, you know,
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: we started animated project with somebody that was incis and
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: we didn't we didn't know them before, so now he
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: was able to put it together something like that. That's
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: that's what I want. I want us to work together.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: That's that's the right.
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: Sorry, with all that going on, is there any gaps
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: you're looking to feel at the moment? Do you need
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: more more manga becas, more more writers, more money, people,
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: more people mind?
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Is there any place to bere like I can use
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: like two or three more of these folks.
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: If anybody know anybody you know sponsors, folks who will
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: just throw money at the event.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: That's a great question. That's a great question. We need everything.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Sponsors definitely something we need. We we always need more sponsors.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: We're thinking that we have some ideas for how we're
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: gonna run this next year. My idea is this, My
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: ambition for this event is for it to be free forever.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: I never want anyone have to pay for this now?
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Is that ambitious? Is that possible? We don't know yet, right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: but you know what online it is, right like where
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: do we show streams on YouTube and then live shooting?
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: The panels will be on YouTube forever? Like I don't
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: plan on ever taking them off, right, but my goal
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: is supposed to be free forever. So sponsors and stuff
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: like that. Our partinent writers wise, we were mumbo Con
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: last weekend. You to get some content coming out and
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: everything made a lot of connections. Something that kept coming
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: up coming up is people asking us about video games.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: You don't currently don't have a video gaming editorialist or
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: a reviewer or something like that, and that's something we
• 39:19

  Speaker 6: Hey, yeah, I've given people I've given because I see

  Speaker 6: all the conventions multiple times. I've given people the business
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: card four times. I just know one time one time.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: I remember one time be like, oh yeah that thing,
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah right, what is it?
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: First off, the name? How did you come up with
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: the name.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: So originally I was running a podcast called black Anime.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: It was me and a homie from college and we
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: borrow a few of the college homies. We started in
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: twenty nineteen, right before the pandemic. Had no idea what
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: was going to happen. We started. I was I was
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: making videos on YouTube under the lost homie and I
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: was like videos on YouTube for video game videos. And
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: he came to my off room one day and he's like,
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: you got all the equipment like that. I'll use my
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: college laptop I got because I got a scholarship. It
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: was not meant for anything I was doing for it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: Actually I still have it. It's Friday. I fried it
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: I Friday all the programs and stuff I put on it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: And he saw the equipment I had and he was like,
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: he was like, He's like, we could do a podcast.
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: We could do that thing, right. I had never listened
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: to a podcast before, so he put me on and
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: we started listening to We started doing weekly podcasts like
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: on Anime and Everything, and I was in twenty eighteen.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: Around twenty twenty one, we started having guests on the podcast,
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: having guests on the podcast, and that's when I started,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: like the idea for off Black started slowly formulating because
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: I realized that, you know, as we got more into
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: social media and more into this stuff, I started finding
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: some people doing some really cool stuff that if I
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: never did. I had to make a podcast to learn
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: about some indie comics, like because nobody around me read them.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: Like I knew people who read Marvel in d C,
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: but nobody around me read them. So I had to
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: create a social media organization to learn about some indie comics.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: And so as we as so we as we let
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: people along. We had we had on like what is
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: his name? Oh my gosh, he is the voice for
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: rock Lock. I have a I have a picture from
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: him signed on my thing. Gave cound on because at
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: one point him and another his friend but guy, they
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: were working on making an anime with with we had him.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: We had a few. We had a lot of cool people.
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: We had a z share me. They they make cutting edge.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: We we had them before any of that stuff was out. Okay,
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: if you ever hear if ever hears this, we keep
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: saying I'm the reason they're doing comics. Don't when they
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: were when they were on the pod, I was talking
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: to them and I was like, I was like, you're
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: you're doing this the whole thing. I want you to
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: make a comic book. And I told me he said,
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: no comic books, no combooks, No, no, no. And I said, okay,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: I just feel like it be a good idea now
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: now they're doing comic books.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: But anyway, fighting urge.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: They were fighting. They were fighting the Urge. And then
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: and then yeah we we we did that. And then
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: around twenty twenty two, because it's been about four years,
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: I got a card somewhere twenty twenty two, the podcast
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: started dueling it down and I was like, man, you know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: I want to do something different, and so I was
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: searching for names and I was I was like, what
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: can I do?
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: And I was just looking at people do this stuff
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: out for colors for animals whatever, boom boom, and I
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: stumbled upon like off black being a real color, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: I was just like, well, if I just make the
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: two xes, you know, because the podcast was Black Anime
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: with two exes. So I was just like, it's off
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: black because it's a spin off of black anime, so
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: off black. And then I also thought the idea of
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: off is that like a lot of Black people growing
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: up felt a little different or weird for liking anime
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: and nerds and everything. So we fell a little off, right,
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: So this was a community. This is a this is
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: for people who felt that way, like this community and
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: people who feel little off, you know. And so because
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: I think a lot off we do is about community.
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: So black people five on it.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: So that's fire. I like that, you know that that
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: I like.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: I like when it because it County comes together, the
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: whole thing comes together, and it just makes sense. And
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: even as you're explaining it, I'm like, yeah, there's not
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: a lot.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Of people.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Who and I know there are a lot of there
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: are a ton of people. You started your podcast before
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: the pandemic. There's a lot of people including myself included,
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: that started it because of the pandemic. We just there's
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: a there's a small pocket of us that didn't know
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: exactly what we wanted to do in terms of what
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: we love and that unfortunately helped launch the pandemic, helped
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: launch a lot of very good podcast and a lot
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: of a lot of indie creatives. There's a ton of
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: black indie creators you've had on the show who said,
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: we started this book like in twenty twenty or twenty
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: twenty one, begun and they always said because of the kingdemic.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: That means they had a story or something was brewing
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: and they didn't know how to get it out or
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: they didn't have the push, and that was the push.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of other podcasts that we mean
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: too far. As we in the group chat earlier talking
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: about some of these other podcasts, it was just like, yeah,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: some of y'all don't do not need the microphone. There
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: are some shows out there that I'm just like, yeah,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: this just saying man, no, like this is trash. Yeah,
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about it's man versus women. It's it's trash politics,
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: it's it's something, you know, it's just like, what are
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: we doing?
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: What are we doing? So the microphone industrial complex winning,
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: you know, it's.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: The microphone industrial conflict. Black sparks, let's going on.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: So the story of Off Black Bag, which is a great.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at the site and I showed the sight
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: earlier while you were explaining to going through the explanation,
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: and when you said how many people were going to
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: be at this panel that you have coming up in June,
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: just in June thirteenth, I think he said.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: Twelfth, June twelfth and thirteenth, two days. You from one
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: day to two day. Also we have it's how many hours.
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: It's like the first day one is nine to six
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: US day two is nine to five is it's almost
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: twenty four hours of programming. I can get no sleep
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: for two days.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: But I'm preaching to the choir.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: So when you have the level like when you mentioned
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Stephanie Williams, Greg Burnam, who like he's the people we've
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: crossed paths with, had interviews that spoke with and dealt with,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: you know, Marcus Williams and all these guys, and Karen Horn,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: who's who She's still out there doing her thing.
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: I loved her book on what kind of on the
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: Warriors of What kind of the Dorm?
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: And she even had a podcast for how many for
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: like it was like you know, for a pop culture
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: her and her dude. So when you have a lot
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: of these people that have some form of influence, especially
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: on black culture, and you're just like, how can we
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: get all these people in the same room. Like you mentioned,
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: you know, some people would never have thought about either
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: doing another project or having this other conversation with this
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: other individual because it was just it was nothing that
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: we ever thought of. It was nothing ever thought of.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: So when you you become that bridge and you just
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: kind of like work's done, onto the next mission. That's
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: that's what it ends up feeling like.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: So what does that do for you?
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: When you say Okay, you're not so much big hitted
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: about it, but you're just like, Okay, I helped accomplish that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Let's go on to what else? What else can we do?
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: What else can we do to help create more more network,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: more community.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: M M, good question. I think the first the first
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: thing I want to do is I gotta I gotta
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: give a shout out to I got a couple of
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: goats in this game, right, I got a couple of goats, right,
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: And I'll talk about some point. One of my goats
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: is Karama Karma, is my goat, my g o A
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: t one of them, my goat, grays of all time.
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: She she doesn't know how much. And I've talked, I've
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: atually told this before she has. She's had a lot
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: of influence on Off Black Magazine when I was making
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: the magazine because a I'm not a journalist by trade.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: I have a degree in physics, minor mathematics. Mathematics, you know,
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: I do engineering stuff and everything. I just really love
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: writing and I really love h I love the importance
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: of writing and literacy. Right, there's a there's an importance
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: of talking about your culture and speaking and writing it
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: down in the written word. It's important, how you know,
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: Black people and people of all nations have passed down,
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: history have passed down, you know, a lot of stuff
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: between the written words, stuff like that. So it's very
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: important that we did this. But Karma, when I first
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: was made in this magazine, I read one of her
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: articles and I was like, Oh, my gosh, I've read
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: the article and I was like, oh, come my gosh,
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: you know, and I've went read everything that she was
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: writing and everything at the time, and so k was
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: one of my goats to shout out to her. She
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: also helped us a lot with getting line Forge involved
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: and so shot to karma a lot and getting in
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: continuing community and getting community together. I would say it's
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: I would say a lot of times, I don't take
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: a lot of credit for the magazine. I mean I
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: created it and I still do a lot of stuff,
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: so I take a little bit of credit, but I
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: take credit to the people that the people that write
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: on the magazine work on the magazine. You know, all
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: my writers, Tiana, Tiaman, Alima Cody, I'm missing somebody. Oh
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: my gosh, Miles, Daphne uh tie Ty writs and does
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: my business partner Taiana with the Chief Cave Officer Chief
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: Cave Officer are too. We have We got new artists
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: in Japan. Other black one lies in Japan, Na Thedaisa.
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: If you've seen our recent post, there's a black woman
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: on there. She she drew that she looks she's so cute,
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: she's so amazing. We' gonna tell the story about her
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: soon as well. We have another artist in the UK, like, like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: you know, these people are what makes his magazine great,
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: right And I think that's what this was really important about.
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: Communitys that like you know, I I I may have
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: brought them together, but they are what are keeping us
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: afloat and I really appreciate all the work that they
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: do and and gathering all these people together. It's been magical. Man,
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: it's I We we have so much fun picking and shoes. Oh,
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: who's gonna go with this person? This person, go with
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: that person, this person would go. We think their personalities
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: are mess so we're gonna we're gonna put them together
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: right like we had like we have like a switchboard

• 52:06
  Speaker 6: and we had him in a pan. We had him
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: monitoring a panel which is pre requorded, but it'll come
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: out where it was Marcus, Brian and the Vickers. If
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: you know the three tones u uh in the Enemy
• 52:14

  Speaker 10: We had.

  Speaker 6: We had Brian Vickers in that one. We had Kennedy.

• 52:40
  Speaker 6: Piece and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. She's she's done that. And
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: then we who is the fourth person? Oh my gosh,
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: I'm forgetting the four astronym. Astronym is an artist's and
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: everything on the right. So we had the four in there,
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: and then we had him moderating, and he was a
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: little nervous, right, you're gonna watch he's a little nervous, right,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: But after the panels over, he's like, thank you guys,
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: Like you guys have given me so much, you know,
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: And he again like I'm not saying anybody would have
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: never talked to them, but to have that that hour
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: and a half alone with them, asking them questions that
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: directly affects his life, directly affects his profession and the
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: next the next steps that he wants to go in
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: his career is really important. And that's like when we
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: made that, I made that specifically for him, Like we
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: put that together specifically so he could have that experience, right,
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: And we do that like we can do that with
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: with their panelists panels. We put panelists in certain positions
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: specifically so they can have that experience of hey, they
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: didn't talk, Hey, I didn't know you did all that
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: kind of cool stuff. There's another moment I can't talk
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: about yet because people have some times, people have to
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: announce things, but I can't talk about that happened, talk
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: about it, you know, I was told I can't talk
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: about it in public yet. But they're working on stuff.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: And at the end of our panel, we the you know,
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: the recordings off, and they look over and say, I
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: want you to work on something for I've seen your stuff.
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: I want you to work on like, of course I will.
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: And then other others like well when I cannot get
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: can I get involved? Oh, we're gonna do this soon.
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna make sure your name is in the pile
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: for right, and so like that interaction, right is really
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: important for us. So, like we believe in what Easter
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: Ray said, like peer to peer networking, right, it's really
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: important that we look across at the person next to
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: us as doing the same thing as that has much
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: passion and we're like, hey, let me bring you in, right.
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: I'm doing something cool, Let's bring you in right. And
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: so with this event, that's something that we're also really
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: focused on, is that even ours creator a creator, that
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: they can look next to each other and when I
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: don't know, you did that kind of cool stuff. You know,
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: I was doing doing this recording, I was looking at
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: your Instagram and stuff like that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: You got some cool what can we do together? Right?
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: And that's really important to us. And so that's kind
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: of how so I take more pride in that than
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: I do, you know, the caliber of people that we
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: that we bring in. I take more pride in that
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: everyone is getting value from it, and that's the most important.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: Okay, you mentioned that you agree are your background is
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: in physics mm hm. As someone who's who's background is
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: in stem to being something that's so creatively different from physics,
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: from science and art, how would you feel that your
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: STEM background has influenced or hasn't influenced your creativity.
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: You know, I think you know as a as a guy,
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: So I made this joke all the time. Right, you
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: have a physics degree. You have two options. You to
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: become a teacher or become an engineer. Like that's the
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: only two options you really, right, like research you got
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: to be a professor, stay in school for two hundred years, right,
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: or you know, you go to look as an engineer.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: And so I think the miss the misunderstanding is that
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: engineers and physics field, they're not creative. We are creatd
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: We're extremely creative. You have to be creative to be
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: good at your job. And it's just a creativity is
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: a little bit different. Which have to be creative to
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: be good at your job when you work in the
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: physics and engineering field. And so I never not had
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: to flex my creative prowess, you know, even though it
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: was when I was just making spreadsheets or powerpoints. You
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: still got to be creative in that in that vein.
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: And so I'll say it's that. And then also I
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: grew up with a mother who by both my parents,
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: who never both of them, who never limited what I
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: want to do in life. And so I put on
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: my mom first, because she again she was an English teacher,
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: and so when I would, I can't. I can't be
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: the person that all. I'm an engineer. I don't write.
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: I couldn't do that. I wasn't allowed to. Like my mom,
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: I have a report to she was like, let me
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: read it first. She takes a nice red pen.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: This is this?
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: Is that not eight o'clock that night? Write it.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: For another two hours. I don't want to consider.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: It.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: Takes three.
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: Flash back, all right, And so so that's how I
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: honed my writing, Like I I've been wanting to write
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: a book in the comic and ourselff like that since
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: I was a kid, right, because my parents are still
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: the love uh love for writing and read and me
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: and my father he was very big on being confident,
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: and so he made sure we were confident. He made
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: sure we were we set up for ourselves and everything
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: like that. And so like that, both those things like
• 57:10
  Speaker 6: really messed together to always want me to just go
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: off and do what I wanted to do. And so yeah,
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: so two prong answer. One to be in STEM, you
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: have to be creative. So people say you don't have
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: to be they're probably not good at their job and
• 57:21
  Speaker 6: to my parents really fostered me to be this kind
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: of person I am today.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Wow, it's still sparking.
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: Oh man, I got nothing outside of the fact of
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: just Off Black magazine being inspired by by jet By,
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: like you said, by jet By other magazines.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: I guess the only thing I could sit there and
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: ask you is.
• 57:44
  Speaker 8: It's really how do you ensure because again this you
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: are for from from again, for the culture, for for
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: blower culture and their culture. As as we've seen some publications,
• 57:57
  Speaker 8: they change or they go different from what the mission
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: statement is from what initially started out with. So my
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: question being to you is with Off Black, how how
• 58:09
  Speaker 8: do you stay true to what? How do you stay
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: true to the mission? How do you ensure that you
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: guys don't go left? Or I'll say it, how do
• 58:17
  Speaker 8: you ensure you don't pull Stephen A.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: Smith?
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, I said his name, because that that is.
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: The greatest example of watching watching something go immediately left.
• 58:32
  Speaker 8: So I guess I guess my question is how do
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: you ensure that all Black stays non Stephen A.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: Smith?
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: Wise? Oh man, that's you know, that's a that's a
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: great question. I'll say, Okay, So I'll start off by
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: saying that this is something I said, I make sure
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: that the backbone of the work that we do is
• 58:56
  Speaker 6: not based on us. And what that means is when
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: I talk to like the people work with creatively, I
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: tell them straight forwar us. If you're not being if
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: you're not successful, that means I'm doing something wrong.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 59:06
  Speaker 6: So that's so I take pride in that, right. I
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: take pride in one thing. I would say pride is
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: being someone's first interview, right, and so I take a
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: lot of pride in that. I try to find people
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: who haven't been talked to you, like I'm gonna come
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: talk to you, right, because you need to talk about
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: you know. So that's kind of I said. It's the
• 59:20
  Speaker 6: first thing. Second thing is I want to harken back
• 59:24
  Speaker 6: to kind of what I said earlier where I said, like,
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: although we are a black forward and you always will be,
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's it's you know, people say like,
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: you know, you can talk all you want, but actions
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: speak loud of the words, right, And so although we
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: were black on well black forward or something like that, right,
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: I'll make sure I make sure every event, everything that
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: we do is specifically highlighting black people at each step,
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: so it may not. So you may look at it
• 59:46
  Speaker 6: and be like, ah, you know, you know, may not,
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: it's just really black. Then you go and look at
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: the article art articles like oh, this is a lot
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: of black people stuff. You go if you look at
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: every costplayer we've ever posted, I think we've only posted
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: like two non black cost players. And we and we're
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: at Anime NYC, We're at Anime Experts, We're at We're
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: actually we're at you know, I've actually been posting for
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: a major family ship, but we're at We're at all
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: these big conventions, and we're like, where the black people at?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: You see the videos that we do almost ninety nine.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 6: I don't think I've done a video with a non
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: black person. I have to think about it real hard, right.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 6: And so it's about it's about one staying true to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: yourself and it's about binding yourself to the community. It's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: about realizing that if you take on the responsibiity, shoul
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: follow through with it. And that's again Al's raised like
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: you've take on responsibltion, you follow through with it. And
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 6: I guess, I guess the last and the biggest things
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: that I don't I made a conscious decision will never
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: be Anime's Newton'll never be anime News network, right, will
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: never be that.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: I love Anime News Network. They do great work. Talk
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: to them, and I'm not saying as a slight to them.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: What I'm saying is everyone already does that. Somebody asks
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: me one time, You're like, why don't you do like
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: new anime news And I've tried it here and there
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: once in a while, why don't you do like breaking
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: at the emails from Netflix, I get the emails from Viz,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: I get all those emails talking about the new show
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: that comes out on everything and give them the press release.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 6: But you know, anime TV on on Twitter already does
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 6: it better than and I could do it right and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: and other people.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: But that's that's the dark place.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: That's like like they already do it better. So if
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: you if that's what you're coming for, if you want
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: to know when the next season of Dungeon Mesi's coming out,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: of the next season of Cyberpunk, go there, Go there, okay,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 6: because because they will do a great job of it.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: But if when you come here, we're doing insightful interviews
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 6: with people of diverse backgrounds talking about what they do.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: We do reviews of not only mainstream stuff, but of
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: black on productions and black on the stuff our press
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 6: every we've not we haven't done the press release for
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: a non black thing yet. And when we do do one,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: it's gotta be something that is involved, someone that's black,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: somebod in black gotta be involved for us to even
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: do the press lease, right because at the end of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: the day, because at the end of to day, again,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: there are thousands of people doing all the other stuff.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: If you just want to know the next anime season
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: comes out, go follow crunchy roll that every season they
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: post every animate they're doing that season. Why are you
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: coming to me for that nothing?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: That's also and I see what you're saying. You know
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: you want to you want to stay what works for you.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: You don't want to follow what other trends are doing.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: I see what well, well, well, well, well the slightness.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: It's not about what works for us, it's about what
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: we stand for. Gotch so so like because I mean
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: even when we I mean, I'll say the most popular article,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: our most popular article is the article we we got
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 6: We got invite to an animated premiere in Japan, And
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's the article is we were, but
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 6: I think it's more so because of the title. The
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: title is hilarious. I think it's it's it's the title
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: is Gooners and start the writer she's our Japanese writers
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: off Gooner's and something. So it's more prout for your name.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: But we go look down again, like our our one
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: that's rising as a dream con because dream Comes is
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: coming up, so that one's been getting a lot more
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 6: views on it, you know, like our interviews still do
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 6: pretty well. I mean I I've told my writers all
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: the time, it's like, you know, I want you to
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: write about what you care about, you know, not don't write.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: Don't write about what you see online. Don't worry about that. Like,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: if this is a topic that's burning in your heart
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: that you want to write about, let's write about it.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: I don't care if people.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: Don't like it, you know. Like we wrote some about
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: discrimination about d C. We are some about DC about
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 6: d C the other week, and and we're following that
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: up with another another article this.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: Week, white campaign.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, follow it up this week with something.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: Else, say two in two days, right, yeah, two days?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So you know we're following up with that. And
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: then we also were something about Marvels Ultimate Universe. Right,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: but like, like you know, it's a it's a balancing act.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: But I said this, I said this in my in
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: my panel, we had a mumble con The most jours
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: outlet are balancing two things, access and readership, right, and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: some people decide to take a hit on access that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: may result in high readership from some people to opposite,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: some people try to balance to both.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Me.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: I don't care too much about access because for the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: people that I from all the conversations I've had, people
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: would rather us tell the truth than try and lie. Right,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 6: the people that are going to be the yes men
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 6: that stuff access and stuff like that. But at the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: end of the day, the people that tell the truth
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 6: and get fair unfair critique, fair critique there go to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: more ten times out of ten versus the person that's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: the yes man.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: So when I tell you, and I'm glad you said that,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: because we we're all in the same realm of doing
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: this business. And I can't tell you how many times
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: I've seen the article or I've seen some kind of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: discourse over a project that either has come out and
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: half the people are just ain't for no reason. The
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: other half are just followers. They're just like, well they
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: said they was trash. And then you have the actual
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: people who watched it and say, you know, this is
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: what's going on. And then the clickbait articles drive me insane.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: They people people don't read. I swear there's a pocket
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: of people that don't read. I will see an article
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: on the Book of Faces and and I'll you know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: Boba Fat will be returning, and I'm like, it's not
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: the show, and I like it was a click click
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: the leg or I look in the comment section and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: and sure enough it's a comic book that that's what
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: they're talking about.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: And I knew that's what it was going to be.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: But then you'll see people share the hell out of
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: it and I'm like, did you even read it? Did you?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: Then then the rumor meal starts running season like they
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: never said that, They never said that, were like, I'm like, it's.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: Such a hard balancing neck, you know, because like you know,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: you because readship is really important. You know, That's how
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: ninety nine percent of I would say journalists got let's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 6: stay afloat from small to big, Like I g n
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: if they don't have a good readership, then they will
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 6: not survive, right and so and so it's like to like,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: you know, so it's it's I think it's fair to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: criticize them for that, right. I was in our panel,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: we talked about social media versus journalism, right, and how
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: how at times they at times are the same, at
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 6: times are very different, right, and so, you know, I
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 6: think we've all seen it on social Actually I don't
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 6: know who's still on Twitter, but I don't know if
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: they don't know how social media's but they're post a
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: video and the video might be the creators saying, oh,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: you know, I really love cats. You know, I really
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: love I really I really enjoyed my cat around the house.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 6: And then in the caption it will say such and
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: such beats dogs to death, and he says in the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 6: video on here, they're like whoa, whoa, Like nobody watched
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 6: the video, right, so everyone's going like, I can't believe
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 6: this got beats doll and the video all right, but like,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: but in the caption it said something totally different. It's
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 6: like a minute's a plague on social media right now.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: It's killing me because I'm like y'all.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 10: Don't y'all don't see the gambling link and in the
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 10: video like that doesn't it doesn't tell you all this
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: is being misconstrued on perfect everybody's got a terrible caption
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 10: in the stake.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Logo like this, I've just seen. I've seen it at
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: every I've seen it.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: The Mandalorian grogu which go see the film, great film,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: fun to watch, fund for the family, fun.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Period, and some of the discourses like, oh this sucks
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: no one.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: I've literally seen the comment today that said no one
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: explained how he got gro go back and I'm like you,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: I wanted the response to bad and I said, you
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: gotta be a troll, you gotta be like like you
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: had a profile picture.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: But I wasn't waste the time to go look and
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: I said, I'm not jumping to that.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: There's some pools not worth jumping in and waiting in
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: for some time. We see it with that, We've seen
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: it with uh Black Panther, We've seen it with the Marvels.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: For Christ's Sake, we did a whole show talking about
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: how how good the film is and how fun it is,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: and but the discourse that was coming out of it
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: and it was mostly from Twitter, like it was.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: The discourse was horrible, but they knew who to attack. Yah,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: they knew the.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: Person to attack. They didn't they didn't attack two other people.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: They knew the right person. They was like, yeah, because
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: if you come for them, you got to deal with
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: black Twitter, you know, like that's our whole other beast
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: y'all wasn't really to deal with. So we see those
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: types of those, those that discourse and that, and that
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: goes back to like when we were talking with me
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: and toofar right and Spartan. We were in our group
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: chat talking about certain podcasts, right this this man versus Bear,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: this man versus woman, the gender.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: Wars, you know, and like the lies. I'm like, the lies.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: I just see candy birds in my head, the lies.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: Like it's so much. And I'm like, y'all, don't reading comprehension?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: Is it's a skill. Now, it's a skill.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 6: And I mean that's how you know, it's that's how
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: I say it's important that we do this and we
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: write and we do all these things because you know,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 6: everyone says print media is dead and all that, but
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 6: I heavily believe that, you know, if we try and
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: make everything online. Then people just gonna read less.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: It's much easier when you're looking on your phone and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 6: just slide and go to Instagram than when you got
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: a book in your hand, right, And so it's really
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: important that we do that. And it's whatever. I mean,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: it's like, I mean, that's why we do this a
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: lot for like, you know, younger kids, high school and
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: like college, because like you know, we need you to read.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: Come read all right, read right, like and it's like
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: you have an informed opinion, right, not an inform opinion
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: that you heard from a ten part series on tip Talk.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: I mean having a foreign opinion on something that you
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't care if you google it, scroll
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: past the AI summary and click a link and actually
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: you know, read what it's about. And so so yeah,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: so you know, I think it's it's important because I mean,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: that's what happens everywhere else, you know, and we're going
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: on the backslide, and so it's important that we do that.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 6: That's why you also I love Tony Weaver Juniors. I'm
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: a thing with the His Literal, His Literacy nonprofit. I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: think it's a beautiful thing that we do that and
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: now we continue now sharing share the love of reading
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: and importance of it, because that's how we become smarter,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: to wecme become more depth, and that's how you know
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: we do all that. So it's important that we read.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: More. You can't do that. Go to therapy.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: You can learn to read, or you can be Floyd

  Speaker 5: showed just how demure.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: And sensible they are.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: And they win.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: They didn't tear the city down.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: They're not Philly. That's why.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not Philadelphia, or they're not Philadelphia or
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 10: But I mean that was literally one of my friends
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 10: in law school and when the e were going to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 10: the super Boys, and I hope they wait not for
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 10: the sake of being an Eagles fan that I live here.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 10: I want to actively see a city burned down with
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: me in it.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: Just for the.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 7: Naming of the city where they have to grease the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: polls before there after they went a sporting event.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: Right' like that's something that they don't want to do.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. And so so we just got the
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: end finally of The Boys on that was on Amazon Prime.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: And to some fair fan fan fair, it's it's a
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: big divisive.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: It's a big divisive because some people are complaining that
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: it's not like the book and I'm and I'm here
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 5: to tell you they weren't going to do the book
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 5: four seasons ago.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, long story short.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: If you think everything is going to falforce material, that
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 8: tells me you have not read The Boys, because you
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 8: read the Boys graphic novel.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: He's the stress word graphic. There is no way, on
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: God's reader they could have done the ending that was
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: in the book.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: I will tell you this much. I'm surprised the show
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: got away with as much as.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: It did.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: That came.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: I think the biggest the bigger thing is that they
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 6: didn't want to do the ending in the book.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: I was glad they didn't. I'm glad they didn't because
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: it's one it wouldn't have read well, it would have
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: been one is too predictable, like it would have been
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: way too predictable. And then it wouldn't have the story
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have had the same ground tests because the one
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 5: question that was running through everybody's head this season was
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: how are they going to stick the landing. If anything
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: was forced to the wayside, it was the cancelation of
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: Jim v Yeah, I think that that was the only
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: that was My only hang up was I would have
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: loved to see how that whole thing would have ended,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: at least for another season, or how they were going
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: to tie it into this final season of the Boys.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: And I think that cancelation forced their hand to kind
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: of shoehir shoehorn the characters in which they didn't really
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: have too much use at that point.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Right, which, again, you you basically you basically ala the
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: cast of Gen B.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 8: You you really brought it up as Marie being the
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 8: super weapon and then relegated her to basically a footnote. Yeah,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 8: so I can see where some people got, you know,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: miffed about that, But honestly, blame Amazon. Amazon. Amazon was
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: the one that pulled the plug on Gen B. They
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: because they wanted to bet money on v On Vought
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: Rising and then the spin off of the Boys in Mexico.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: So it's like, unfortunately, it's the idiots that still follow
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 8: Jeff Bezo are still the ones calling the shots.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: So you can't do't. I mean, when you've been hamstring
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: that much, you can only I mean even being hamstring
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: to this point. It's still not a bad ending. It
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: really isn't.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing before we break down about the episode.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: We lived in the time that not only do we
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: get a lot of nerrid content.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: In the movies on television, we living in a time
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: where it's rare that you get an ending to the
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: show without it being canceled.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: Mhm.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: We finally we got the ending, and here's here's the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: bottom line. It was not a bad ending at all.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: I was.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, they took one thing from the book for
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: the ending, for at least for the for the for
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: Boys part of it, and I said, okay, they still
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: did that, and then they did one another scene. It's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: another that they did. But this show or this season
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: is good. Lord. I didn't think.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: I didn't I think this show would go to the
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: depths of like, here's a mirror of your reality. I
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: don't think Gark seen that coming. He was like, wait, wait,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: I this was chokes. We didn't think this was going
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: to happen.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: It's almost as if a certain man in a certain
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 8: house and a certain address was watching every episode and saying,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 8: I can do that.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: He's like, I want to do it better. I'm want
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: to do it first.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: So basically the episode starts off with UH for them
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: having Frenchie's funeral. French passes in the previous episode by
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 5: exposing himself to Uh's great. Yeah, reapons grade uranium with Homelander,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: and the Homelander obviously surprised that, and Frenchie dies from
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 5: radiation poison. But he's able to make sure that Chemico
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: has enough radiation now that she can do the same
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 5: blast that Soldier Boy does, which will negate whatever V
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 5: one that's in your blood and negates your powers. So
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: we get to that point, and now it's kind of
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: like it's game on, and like they're kind of backs
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 5: against the wall. They're not sure how they're going to
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 5: do this. Butcher is still like, missions, missions still got
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: to go forward. I'm still here to kill the home Leander.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: I don't care about nothing else. I'm here to kill
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: home Leander. And they wrap up the Ryan story pretty well,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 5: you know, because Ryan is watching stuff unfold because now
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: you know, homelanner get rid of the president.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: Now he's taken the role. And plus he wants to
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: be God, which that was delusion of was hell but.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: Words, it really worked for his character because you literally
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: saw him. You saw him go from delusional to depressed.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: So all of a sudden he saw he he's a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: vision and he has this moment of just clarity, and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: you could tell the megalo the megalo mania just keeps
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: on climbing with everybody and it and it worked out
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: and actually worked out kind of great.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 8: At the same time, some people, some people got their
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 8: come uppets, which I am not explaining about people.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: They come up.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 5: Was it was necessary for the people that they come up.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 5: I was like, finally, I'm happy now.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 10: And the fact that he was like, the son of
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 10: God shouldn't be sleeping in a barn. But I'm like,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 10: that's literally the story of Jesus. A baby's born in
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: the bar, a major right that he wants to be
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 10: the same coming uh. They got DV Digs to do
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 10: another musical number.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 8: I just laughed by the fact of just the scene
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: between him and Jesus and Jesus takes off the crown.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like, really.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: It was the worst acting too. It was just like, Jesus,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: what are you doing here? He's right out here to
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 5: pass it on. I can't do it anymore. You have
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 5: to take the I said, we didn't even want I.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: Mean, it's funny. It's funny because funny you can't get
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: everything because at the same time, you know, there there's
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: a certain man in a white and a white house
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: at his house in Florida, unveiling of giant statue. It's like,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: you can't make TV like that as topical as that. Somehow,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I was like, somehow.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 5: Christy was just like, look, we didn't even plan half this.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 5: We didn't know this, what's going to happen? It was like, right, so,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: but we finally get that. Uh, they really are in
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 5: their backs to get to wall. Everybody's trying to figure
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: out what to do. Marvin, I'm glad.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: They did not do Milk the way they did him
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: in the in the book.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I was fully expecting Kessler at some point to
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 10: just last minute take over, like I'm done with the
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 10: Knights and just off everybody. But I feel like him
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 10: coming out in the previous episode was them kind of
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 10: wrapping that up because I know the whole thing is
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 10: like if he doesn't, if he's not hyper focused on
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 10: killing Homelander, the cancer is just gonna let him take over.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so yeah, I'm kinda glad they didn't.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 10: The only person that got got was Frenchie, which apparently
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 10: Frenchie just got hit with the what was it, the
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 10: first power from one piece along with the radiation poisoning.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was just like, uh, it wasn't as
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: brutal as a I didn't want him to die of brutal,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 5: but I didn't want him to die period.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't as brutal as I thought it was
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: going to be.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 5: Like we didn't know who was gonna go, like because
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 5: they said, oh, you're going to see a lot of
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: major characters go, and we did. We've seen a few
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: major characters go. But there is one scene that Marvin has.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 5: It's a great scene with old Father. First off, Jack
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 5: Quigg's Huey Campbell imitating Butcher was hilarious because he just
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 5: started saying lines. He just started to saying or publicks.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 4: I was like, this, dude's crazy. That far was funny.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 8: He kept as in between him and again, shoot uh
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: Ryan coming back? Ryan coming back as like I didn't
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 8: come back for you, but you know I'm still gonna fight.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: But the killer far about all this is Soldier Boy
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: not being I was like, I was gonna ask y'all, guys,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 8: how y'all felt about this?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: How do y'all feel about Soldier Boy not appearing in
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: the finale?
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 10: We set up a lot of diabolical or not diabolical,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 10: We set up a lot of lot Rising and just
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 10: sent Gen and V to Canada.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 7: So like, I get it.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 10: It's the next show, and Mexico I think will just
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 10: cover the fallout. I feel like Bob Rising will cover
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 10: like Soldier War waking up and being prepped in real
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 10: time on what he's missed, and we'll just be bouncing
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 10: back and forth between the past and the present.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 10: I wasn't expecting Soldier were to do much in the
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 10: end because he was like, hey, I don't want any barss.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 10: I'm kind of leaving like it's yeah, he acknowledged called
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 10: he at least called him son. He at least called
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 10: him son and helped him. But he's like, all right,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 10: but also like, dude, I've been a soldier for like
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: almost a century now, like I want to go maybe
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 10: just be a regular person.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 5: On top of that, he was putting everything on Dean
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: Winchester's back at this point. Yeah, I was like, no,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 5: he can't carry not like he can't carry the cell.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: But that's because nobody really knew, well, the viewers never
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: really knew where this was going, right, because even even
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: by comic standards, Soldier Boy is not So Boys not
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 5: so you get pretty much it's far from it's completely
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 5: two different people.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 8: But that's what that's that's what's so crazy about it.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: It's just the fact that you had folks complain, oh,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 8: Soldier Boys not in the finale note because again, if
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 8: you really want to keep it, if you really want
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 8: to be honest, Soldier Boys didn't put back on ice.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 8: VOT has decided to rebrand, But there's still one of
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, the actual virus still is. It still is
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 8: actually still control by Hughie because again, what's his face?
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: Never released it.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 8: So there is a lot There is a lot still
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: for a lot of people think it's the ending, there's
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 8: still some un there's still some actual strings out there.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 8: That haven't been wrapped up yet, and at the same
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 8: time also shout out to the deep finally catch getting.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: His come up.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 8: That was beautiful, Samuel Samuel L. Jackson warns you about
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 8: getting in that water. You so much a step up.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 10: I was watching that with people and they're just like, wait,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 10: can't he swim I'm like, we've never seen him swim
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 10: fast without.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 4: The help of an animal.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 10: He talks to them, he doesn't. We only know he
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 10: talks to them. We've never seen him do anything else
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 10: except talk and breathe water.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: That's it. He never said. He was never shown to
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: have super speed or anything.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: What you would think for a guy that has a
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: quadic ability, he talks to animals and has gills, you
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: think he would be aquaman in the water.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: You would think, No, he was. He was a coward boy.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 10: And also I've also been seeing this theory that like
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 10: he doesn't actually talk to animals, he more so is
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 10: like mind control, So whatever he hears from them is
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 10: a projection of his own insecurities. So he potentially he
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 10: potentially was his own and undoing because how do they
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 10: know about the octopus? Just no justice for Ambarosia. That
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 10: was the octopus that that's suffocated somehow, like they know
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 10: about ambrosia but not the octopus. He was forced I
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 10: think the other Kevin he was forced to eat.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Kevin, Kevin.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The fact that you got exploded like that by
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 4: a tentacle is crazy because starlight is on the beach confused,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: like what just happened?
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: Because she didn't have No, that was still funny. That
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 8: was because imagine, imagine you fight next thing. You know,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 8: you'll see him desperate in the wars like that.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: That's it. That Yeah, y'all kept calling that. Y'all kept
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: calling him the Peak and look at you.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: Now like.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, go ahead, No, I was just saying, oh
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: my god. So Aaron. I wanted to ask Aaron, what
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: did he think.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: Before we get to the White House scene, what did
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 5: you think that's certain of the deed getting his his
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: his his thing and.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: All that stuff.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, someone I actually haven't read the comics.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 6: I don't know much. I mean as someone who I
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: have to keep my ear to the ground, so I
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: do I know about it. I've seen stuff for it,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 6: but I've read it myself. So I think it for
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: a TV show. It was perfectly entertaining, like it did
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: everything that you need for it to feel in a way,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 6: like a satisfying end for the people who don't like
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: any people you don't like. And so with The Deep
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: and everything, I thought it was hilarious. I thought the
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: Samuel Jackson I still I still think about the Samuel
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: Jackson one with with that was so funny where he's
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 6: just out here, he's like thought some money, had me share.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: I put him on that and you know I do,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: And so I thought that was hilarious. But I thought
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: also like it encapsulates, you know, I just say, he's pathetic.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: The Deep's entire character through like the entire show is
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: that he may have powers, but he is pathetic, like
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: he doesn't need them to help people. He doesn't even
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: really use them, the that hurt people, like he like
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 6: he like he is just there most of the time.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: Like he's like that bystanding during like a like an
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: accident that doesn't call the cop, doesn't call anybody, just
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: like well you know, you know, and so like I
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: think you know through him and also like I guess
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: comparing him like his best comparisons of a train and
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: how a train at the last moment decided to be
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: you know, heroic. He decided to like you know, basically
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: like change his colors. I think that's really I think
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 6: that's really as a mixed for really good TV because
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 6: we were able to, as the season went on, make
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: these comparisons to be okay, like people make these conscious
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 6: decisions to be better people, and I love that. So yeah,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: so I thought I thought the deeps End was fun,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 6: and I would I probably will end up watching that
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: again because I thought it was enjoyable, you know, uh,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: not the White House seed yet, but yeah, I just
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: I thought they did a good job with with with
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 6: all the characters throughout, and I'm happy that, you know,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: Camiko was able to do what she did too too,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: So you know, I was. I enjoyed a lot of
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: that last episode. I think people hating on it, they're
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: hating because they have an agenda, not.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: Because yeah that part.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say that watching And I'm glad you
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: mentioned a Train. Shout out to Jesse t Usher. He's
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 5: probably one of the few characters actually the Boys and
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 5: a Tray had more of a progression of their characters,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 5: and A Trains stood out the most because he was
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 5: very in the beginning, he was very much like, oh man,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: I got this girl's blood.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: She got in the way when I was running, you know.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: And now he ends it trying to avoid someone why
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 5: getting away from a homelander, and that ends up being
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 5: his undoing. But at the same time he's like at
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 5: the same time, he's like, uh, I'm staring. I'm staring
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: my death in the face, and you're a joke. He
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 5: died laughing at Homeland. He was like, you're a joke.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: He's like your jame time. I'm not gonna go down
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 5: just I don't.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 7: I get it.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 10: He had a super fall and he's not super durable
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 10: and he's getting a speed punched at the crosh something
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 10: like I'm not I'm just.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: Gonna stand there and get choked out, laughing like you
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: you may be like. And the thing is somebody pointed out, like,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: notice he's not actually ripped under there. He's got like
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 4: foam padded abs under the homelander suit.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 10: So we know, which is why you got absolutely rocked
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 10: once you had no powers, like y'all have never actually
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 10: trained the day in your life.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: That part, let's talk about that part.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: So Chemico cannot release the radiation burst because she's supposed
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: to have all this rage because of Loose and Frenchy
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: and all the stuff that's been going on. But she
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 5: sees the vision of Frenchie and basically he's telling her, age,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 5: you don't have to use the rage to release it.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 5: You can just find your center. Let me be that center,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: you know, Let that that that's focus. Let me be
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: that focus like of your of your your emotion, because
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: it's the most more base.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: And she does.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 5: In the midst of what turned out to be a
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: pretty good fight with Ryan Butcher and Homelander, like, Homelander
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: could not get away no matter everything. Every time he
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 5: tried to take off, Butcher was snatching him down. At
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: every time he to take off, Ryan was snatching the cape.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 5: Every time you try to take off, They're like, oh,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 5: you're not going anywhere.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: You're about to take this ass whooping yep.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 5: And they managed to hold him long enough for Kenny
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 5: go to get a burst off, and in the midst
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 5: of all that that also affects them, which okay, it's
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 5: a good balance for that. At which point now they
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 5: all get up. I think Ryan is still knocked out,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 5: but it's just Butcher Homelander, and Homelander tries to start
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: at him, and Butcher kind of gives a dodge almost,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 5: but then he notices, oh he ain't.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: He ain't.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 5: He can't move fast, and then he tries to fly.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 5: He's like, oh, he can't fly, and Butcher was just like, Oh,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: I am going to enjoy this.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, He's like, which I fully feel like that was
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 10: supposed to be Marie holding him down in that moment
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 10: with with whatever her powers. I don't know, man, I
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 10: just I'm just like, yeah, it was. It's just the
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 10: fact they kept telling us for two seasons. Yeah, jen
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 10: Vio played a pivotal part in the Boys final season
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 10: and it's like, here's this notebook and here's your Canadian
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 10: passport off y'all go like it's yeah, and people are
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 10: just like, oh, we don't know to be powerful, but
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 10: we haven't seen anyone try, Like we had Victoria Newman
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 10: who was just like, I can't pull it off, but
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 10: we still haven't see what the attempt looks like, Like
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 10: are y'all able to just pop a blood vessel? Are
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 10: you able to like restrict his movements? Like we never
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 10: got like a physical visual look like maybe she could
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 10: like alter his body moving so he misses a hunch.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't see it being being a
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: blood bender.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 5: I thought she was going to like pull like pull
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 5: a wolf mac Needle Wolverine type situation and pull.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: The blood out of me.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought, and holding down.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going on.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what to expect other than to be
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 5: other than she could be a threat against him because
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 5: he's tried.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: This heat vision on her and it didn't but knock
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: her down, right, you know, So that's what I was.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: I was like, that's what I was doing, like erect
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 4: the way they dressed that up. We didn't know what
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: that face off was going to look at like.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 8: Although you could see Marie literally holding him down, her
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: power is that focused now she can hold hold down
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 8: then tied. That entire scene doesn't make sense what you
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 8: think about it, because if.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 6: You have if you have her hold him down and
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: then Commiko do the blast and then they both back
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: up on that Butcher finish it off.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah that would have worked. That would have worked. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: what you think.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 7: I have yet to finish watching it?
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, my bad, No, trust me.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 7: I was gonna know what's gonna happen before you know. Okay,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 7: I was gonna go into it already knowing what happened
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 7: because I've been seeing bits and pieces.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: I just haven't finished it, Okay, okay, but yeah, Like
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: I've seen people say like, oh, well, what was she
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I feel like that would have been her.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 10: She wouldn't have been able to like make him explode,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 10: but she probably could like restrain him to the point
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 10: of like nose blazing, like if y'all don't hit him now,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 10: I got like ten seconds before we're all front like
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 10: something of that is what I was maybe picturing. And
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 10: then yeah, Butcher's cancer, those people like nitpicking the hell
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 10: out him, Like, Butcher's cancer was also from compound V
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 10: to an extent, so it doesn't shock me that he's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 10: just perfectly fine after getting blasted. And while this is
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 10: all happening sages in Orlando down the street from me
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 10: in Harry Potter World, apparently.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, say, before we get that, same knew what she
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: was doing. Yes, she was just like, you know what,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: we going to a bunker. That ain't it. All of
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: this this ain't worth if I can get her to
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: the blast me. I ain't got to worry.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 5: About none of this, because that's all she wanted. I
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 5: just want to be left alone. I don't want anything
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: to do with any of it. I don't care y'all
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 5: kill each other. I don't care whens.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to be around for it, you know.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: And she made sure she wasn't around for it too.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: She'd rather be dumb for lack of the other word,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 5: than to have to do then to be this all knowing, uh,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 5: the smartest person in the room no matter where she.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: Goes, and having that kind of weight on her because
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: she doesn't know the idea.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 5: She misses the idea of having someone around her that
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 5: she genuinely, genuinely cares about, like her grandmother, you know,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: and just kind of numbing herself to the pain of
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 5: I just need five minutes to just not think.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: That was her thing, dude, I just need time to
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: I don't want to think about anything. I don't care.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: I will sit here and watch Jersey Shore and Love
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: Island all day. I don't care. And she and she
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: goes off to Harry potter Land.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 10: She was happy, which it kills me even more so
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 10: than that was her plan because he was like, oh,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 10: you do know her plans. I'm like, she just told
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 10: us and clearly it's not going further than this, but
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 10: continue with the hope and copium, Like, like your plan
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 10: was to take the bedridden Nazi and go hide in
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 10: a bunk, Like why.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: Did you think that was gonna work?
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 10: Like he just got his legs and takes buds and
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 10: like the ability to use the toilet bag. You thought
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 10: he was gonna go hide in a bunker with you
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 10: for the rest of eternity, Like none of what you thought.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: You're not smart?
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 6: And I get it.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 10: Finally we're shown and her weakness is emotions because you
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: didn't think, oh, Land, Like, I get it. Playing on
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 10: that part cool, because I don't know why you thought
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 10: any of that stuff that jen V was gonna work
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 10: out for you.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: This was always going to go bad. Yep, that part.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: That part, so go ahead, go ahead part.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just the fact that at the end
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: of it all, she just wanted to be dumb and
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: left alone.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 5: I think she figured out she wanted to be left alone,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: and I think the dumb part came later. She was
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: like you know what, yeah, feeling she knows that feeling
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 5: of not having to know everything. She'd rather not be
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: burdened with that.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: I still sit there and say it was the fact
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: that it was the fact that social boy giving homeland
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: to be one that rocker one time she had no control.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: She's like, you didn't do what I thought you would do.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: You completely did the opposite and everything said that you
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: would it. And I think that really messed with.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: Her, Yeah, because she kind of like not on this,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 5: she already flipped sides, but she was just like, I
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 5: did not see that coming.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: That the one thing I should be good at and
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't see that coming.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: And now that's that that's making me rethink literally everything,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 5: And that's probably what why she said, if this works,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 5: I know what I'm going to do, and just not
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 5: telling the buddy that way, I'm gonna have to worry
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 5: about what happens.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have what they need, what I need, I'm
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: gone pretty much.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: She literally she listened to the ancestors of saying minded
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 5: that minded her own black ass business.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: That's what she did.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 8: Although you know that although that was still that was
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 8: to me still funny and the fact of how we
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 8: got introduced to her and how she knew the original
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 8: the original creator of Vought and then that was still
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 8: a weird story itself. But but that goes back to
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 8: un that pretty much goes back to wrapping up certain stories,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 8: like we talk about m and m adopting Ryan, and
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 8: Ryan is.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: Now uh r, mil.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 10: Ryan is now a cousin and we'll have a crispy
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 10: fade in the future, which is which is good, you know,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 10: which is good for him because mm's whole story starts
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 10: with the trauma of his family and soldier boy and
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 10: now here we come full circle with you raising this grandchild,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 10: which I'm curious if that gets revisited at all in
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 10: Mexico or in in Vought Rising, or yeah, in Vault
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 10: Rising at all with because at some point he's got
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 10: to get the thought and kind of get put on
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 10: game as to what's happening. Stan Edgars now back. Yeah,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 10: your cocaine Bullfetcher is now the head of the company
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 10: for the second time. So it's gonna be interesting.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I think that with Out, especially like
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: with ending gen V which really is like the natural
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 6: per in my opinion, would have been a natural progression
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: for the future of what you know, this is a
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 6: TV shows a franchise, because Vault Rising is supposed to
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: be prequel, so that's supposed to be the whole Yeah,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 6: the Mexico one, I actually have no idea what you're
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 6: doing with that. It just doesn't make sense, Like you
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 6: set up all these storylines and so I don't know.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 6: I feel as though, like I don't I don't personally
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 6: think we see any of these established characters again for
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 6: the most part in the future besides like obscure references
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 6: or something like that.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like you mentioned the Boys Mexico, and I just
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 5: feel like the only thing I can get from that
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 5: is the fallout that that's That's.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 10: Really all I'm thinking that show could possibly be is
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 10: the aftermath of our current society, because like what happens
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 10: once you get let out of the home camp and
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 10: then you got to go back to your next door
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 10: neighbor who was the reason you got turned in or
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 10: put in on land the sweatpants for a year?
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: Like, well, what is face? What does Facebook look like?
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 10: For all the people that were team that were anti
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 10: Star Lighters five minutes ago?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: Like I don't want to go to work and school
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 4: with y'all. Like I had to go. I had to
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 4: do six months hard labor, because like we're just supposed
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 4: to go back to be in fre It.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 10: Like, I'm curious what the civil discourse after all this is,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 10: and I feel like Mexico will give us that a
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 10: little bit.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: I'm just we know nothing about this show so far.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 6: I see the first two episodes being a whole Oh
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 6: my gosh, it's Something's crazy that the next rest of
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 6: us just there whatever contained story it is. I just
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 6: I just don't see it being where they wrap it
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 6: around that and tire that everything that happened in this season.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 6: I just I don't know. I feel like because that's
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 6: how usually do anyway with these with these shows, especially
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 6: like again, if you do gen V, you can do that.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 6: Gen V is like the direct fallout because everyone was
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 6: involved with Homelander as heroes and non here are as
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 6: powered umpowered, But these people are gonna be like I
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 6: don't know, it'd be so divorced from it. We're gonna
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 6: get like a video of the White House and every
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 6: ding it's like yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 10: Not direct times, but like little background references here, and
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 10: like like how we would see like the news broadcast
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 10: in gen V or how like say just like yeah,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 10: she's not really in a position to talk to anyone
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 10: right now.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 4: Then we find out, oh, it's because she's got Voldemort
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 4: in the back of her head.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 10: And the folks are just like, oh that they promised
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 10: this scorch Earth and all we got was the Oval Office.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 4: I'm like when Home Landers said I don't need anyone.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 4: That was Amazon saying.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 10: We're not paying finish it, like y'all, y'all gotta get
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 10: y'all not about to get like a Fortnite Save the
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 10: World fifty B five soup off.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: That was y'all got that and Elon Musk being set
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 4: to space that is it?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 5: That was hilarious, which apparently yeah, yeah, he was not happy.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: He was like, also my plan worked, Like, who, so
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 5: you're you're actually upset? That means you're watching the show,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 5: thank you. Yeah, So you have Homelander depowered, and it's
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: in front of a global audience because prior to everything unfolding,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 5: he was getting ready to do his his presidential Address
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: the Nation speech, and.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: The whole fight breaks out. But the camera is still wrong.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: It's not over, but it's still wrong.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: So people they show people across the nation actually watching
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 5: this whole being unfold and then he's deep powered and
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 5: he gets up and he says some really suspect things.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: He's pleading for his life. But see, but Butcher couldn't
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: be more happy. I was happy. Butcher was happy because
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 4: he's seen that.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: It was like, oh, no powers, I am about to
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 5: beat the breaks off of you, and I'm going to
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 5: enjoy it.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 8: And because we saw the real Homelander, it was like,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 8: imagine a Homelander that didn't have power, and without those powers,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 8: what are you? You're exactly exactly exactly what He's exactly
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 8: what a train said you were.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: And he and he said, he's like, this is for Frenchie.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 5: He beats the snot out of him for Frenchy and
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 5: then he grabbed that crow bar and he says in
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 5: prior to that, Homer's pleading, He's like.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, all right, no stop. Fund He's like,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 4: I can hear the thing you mean. I'll do this.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 7: I do this.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 8: You want you want to find it, I'll give you
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 8: the seventh. I'll give you the seven. It's like dang,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 8: he says the one. When he says the one line,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 8: the people that were watching it were just like.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 4: They needed I'm like that was the line for you,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 4: Like that's what all got up and left.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 10: Like but at that point, at that point, yeah, folks
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 10: needed to see that he's always been a snifflling man child,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 10: and that's what everyone in the show has been trying
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 10: to tell him for the last five seasons and two
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 10: spinoffs or two seasons of a spinoff, that he is
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 10: nobody underneath the just being the lucky Lambyrd Like.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: Like what say, he said?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 4: What was I I was afraid of nothing.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: I was afraid of you all this time and you're nothing.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: And it's like.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 10: Even the deep being told by the person you victimized
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 10: text of accountability and just screaming no, like.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 7: Caesar and.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 4: Tells him. She was like, just take accountability for your ship.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: He was just like.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 10: The fact everybody just kept the fact, everyone just kept
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 10: calling him Kevin, like all right, we're not calling you're
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 10: not a hero.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: Your name is Kevin. For the remainders like day and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 4: then on their murder on their.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 10: Murder mission to Homeland and he's like were you there crying?
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 10: And it's just like, also, why are you here?
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: Right? He's like, really think, sir, I really think I'll
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 4: take on the seven, it's all I have.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I just love the fact that each
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: other and said, the only reason I kept you around
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: is because I had only because you are useful for
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: one thing, and you were even good at that. But
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's like, just, I just I just
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: had to have I just had to have a place.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 10: And I was like, god dang, and he's homelanded without powers.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 10: He's the same sniffling little weasel to an extent.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's so to date, Queen May was going
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 5: against Homelander, Black Mawir was going against the Deep. Starlight
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 5: had already Starlight had already left the team A trained
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 5: his trains. Really did have the greatest character progression throughout
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 5: the showing my opinion, Oh yeah, I think he had
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 5: the grit because he went from being very nonchalant, not
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: caring to then trying to find his way back to
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 5: his his people because they had that one season where
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: he wore that god off of African kin take cloth
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 5: version of his outfit, you know, and I'm like, god, dude,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 5: this is not it.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 4: But his brother got it together. He had to basically
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 4: had to go home to get it figured out.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 5: And then that's when he started realizing like, oh no,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 5: all this you're trying to do like you were already
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 5: there before you even.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 4: Joined that team.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know what happened that you got there, but
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 5: then you got the fear kicked in, and then you
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 5: being afraid that you're gonna be replaced and all this
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 5: other stuff, and then finally just realized you said, no.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 4: Wait, come on, I am better than when I thought
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not this dick, you know, And he just learned
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 5: to fight back, and he was just like, Okay, you
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 5: just had to do it in secret because you knew
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 5: what you were up against, your resources were limited and
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 5: everything else.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 4: So I mean he had to hurt his character. Progression
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 4: of Miami. I think that was on purpose.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 6: And I think I also think it's interesting how they
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 6: were able to tell such a like a point in
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 6: a way like black story right with I don't I
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 6: don't know exactly who was in the writer's room. There
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 6: might be some some some black people that were in
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 6: there writing it and everything. But just like his progression,
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: like cause I mean, technically you can still tell that
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 6: story without it being so you know, black focused, Like
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 6: you can tell some of the black person are deeming
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 6: themselves and doing a B A CDFG and all that
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 6: without it being some black focus. But they were able
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: to make it like super like his redemption was like
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 6: coming back to his roots, like he you know, and
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: like even I think in the earlier season when the
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 6: one guy, because it was the butt with the bow
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 6: and arrow guy, he was like, yeah, we gotta we gotta,
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 6: we gotta beat up the thugs. And he's like wha.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 6: He's like, that's my brother. What are you talking about?
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 6: Like he like that guy didn't do anything. And he's like, well,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 6: I look, they all looked the same to me or whatever.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 6: He said, yea, and like that, like and this is
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 6: the guy you want to bring.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: It to the seven.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 6: This is the this is the guy. Like and like
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 6: you know, like you didn't like that story didn't have
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 6: to be told that way. You could win another deep
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 6: and you know, you know, you know I haven't said
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 6: a fish right like you could you could have went
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 6: another way. But they like they they told like a
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 6: very like a point like black story that for black people.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 6: We looked at that and I was like, you know,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: it's like it's like a cool you know, having their awakening,
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 6: you know, he was like right there.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 4: He was like, I'll just do the creator.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 10: He was like, I'll just do the creative costume and
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 10: the and the pepsi ad, like we'll just We'll just
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 10: do all the symbolic stuff. But then we tried to
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 10: make an actual change and it made an actual issue
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 10: with and then putting a racist heart in him to
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 10: keep him ticking after he tried to do his own
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 10: suicidal dash.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 4: Oh man, I forgot about that. I forgot about that.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 10: Which there's sometimes where I wish they would just get
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 10: the chance to say the the quiet part out loud,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 10: like with his brother's like did you kill He's like,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 10: I'm supposed to be dead.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 7: I ain't think they was.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 4: Gonna give me his heart.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 10: And clearly they had a conversation on the screens on
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 10: better terms, And I'm like, why did you never tell
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 10: him like, hey, this is supposed to be a suicide mission.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 10: I'm not supposed to be Because now he's like all sad.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 10: I'm like, but you this was, Yes, it was a
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 10: revenge flot but one that was supposed to take both
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 10: of us out. I'm not supposed to be here, like
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 10: getting resentment from you. Same with and this is like
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 10: the only because I know it went different in the comics,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 10: but having not having that knowledge prior, I wanted someone
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 10: to ask Homelander, like why beca Butcher? And I get
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 10: it it's part of Butcher's whole story of bringing him in,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 10: but like I wanted either Ryan or him to ask
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 10: him why because like, clearly you're kind of disgusted by
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 10: people and you only like women in power or who
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 10: produce breast milk, So like, what about Butcher's wife or
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 10: what people are saying, like, oh, it might have been
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 10: when Butcher made those comments at the party, But I'm like,
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 10: it feels like Becca was our starting point for so
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 10: much of the story.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: I got so little focused as.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 10: To like why she even got brought in, to the
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 10: point where like I thought it was just me talking
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 10: about this whole threads up until like season two that thought, Oh,
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 10: Butcher his wife, she had an affair, and that's the
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 10: twist they're going with until she's she She says it
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 10: one time in season two and it's literally blink if
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 10: you miss it, because I went back and watched him, like, yeah,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 10: I almost didn't hear her say that.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: People are like, oh, you didn't.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 10: Catch but because Butcher thought it was something else because Butcher, well,
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 10: Butcher knows his wife was violated and potentially dead.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 4: But when they show the flashback of Homegirls whose name
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 4: I'm forgetting that Ryan accidentally killed showing him the tape
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 4: and you see her wife. Yeah, when when Mallory comes in,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 4: because we know no one's above lying to get what
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 4: they need, so he's playing on Hughey's emotional stuff. So
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like, are you just lying to Hughie because your
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 4: wife cheated on you with this soup and they went
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 4: missing and now you want So that's what I thought
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 4: going into like the second season, because then when she's
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 4: when you see her walking in the homeland his office
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 4: and he does a little look around him like this
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 4: is like how everyone gets caught cheating at every TV.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 4: So people are like, oh, you didn't catch that. I'm like,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 4: this is literally like the cheating blood twist of every
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 4: like crime drama. So no, I didn't.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 10: And then when they found out, oh she's alive, and
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 10: she kept to getting until she says, Billy, he did
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 10: that to me, which I think is like four episodes in,
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 10: I'm like, okay, so that actually did happen but I
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 10: still don't get.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 4: It out of all the crazy stuff he's done.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 6: Well, well, I think it was. I think it's more
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 6: so like and now it's common empowering balances, right like
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 6: in work and working environments, right, So she could not
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 6: say no, So like I think, like they argue it
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 6: could have been that like he did it because of
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 6: what Billy said them, which is perfectly you know, which
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 6: is not will be surprised if that was the reason.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 6: But it's also like when as the videotape goes on
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 6: and she walks out and she's like obviously frazzle. She's
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 6: obviously like you know, like she barely put her clothes,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 6: barely able to put her clothes back on, as like
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 6: she's right, and then like like soon after that, she disappeared, right,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 6: And because she feels ashamed, and also because because they
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 6: don't I don't. I can't think of an exact moment
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 6: they ever say it, but I don't. I they did not.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 6: They would not let her abort the child because they
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 6: wanted fail safe for Homelander. And so that's why when
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 6: Homelander flat finds out what I want to say and
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 6: the season one, yeah, he flies over there and he's like,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 6: I do have a son, and like Mallory's mad, Like
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 6: they're all mad because like we were just supposed to
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 6: be hidden. He's not supposed to know because it was
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 6: supposed to be their backup plan. That was that was there,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 6: that was their original We're going to kill Homelander by
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 6: making a good Homeland.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like literally if you missed the one time.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 10: And I think that's also part of my problem is
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 10: we heard more about it from everyone except the person
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 10: that happened to, Like she gets that, she gets.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 4: That one line delivery.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 10: On the bridge when they're trying to escape, and she's like,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 10: I can't leave with you, like I have a kid.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 10: We listen to the rest of the season, she's almost in.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 4: On the we need a backup.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 10: But I'm just like, yeah, if you didn't fully pay
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 10: attention or you missed that one delivery from her, you
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 10: would think, oh, she was in on this whole plan
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 10: of having having Homeboy to stop him. And they're like,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 10: oh no, she's a big but like to what you said, yes,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 10: the power imbalances and all, and I get all that.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 10: That was my whole time, Like I wish somebody would
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 10: have pressed him about why why my mom or why?
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 10: But like, stop giving him the out of did you
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 10: do it? We know he did it, make him say
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 10: why and further I think, yeah, I think which would
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 10: have further I mean, pushed his his craziness. But also, yeah,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 10: start start confronting predators on stuff you know they did.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 10: Don't give them the out. But also, Ryan, you can't
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 10: fight your damn daddy. I'm sorry, Gigs, like he got
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 10: his ass.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 4: He tried, he did the whole.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 10: I saw a lot of people criticized in the final
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 10: fight too, like, oh, they were supposed to be super fast.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I think it's like the dragon ball thing.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 10: I think it's like they are moving at that speed,
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 10: but they're doing their best to make it look in
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 10: real time for human eyes to keep up. So sometimes
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 10: they're like getting yanked around by strings and I'm not
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 10: like knocking it. And then folks like, oh, I thought
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 10: the V one made him stronger, It just made him immortal.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 10: He was already like him and Marie are already Odessa
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 10: Premium playing like they're already. He just needs to live forever.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that he can't die hard to like we've
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 4: already seen.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 10: We've seen Butcher blind Victoria faster than she can look
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 10: at him, just to do her ability. We've seen Ryan
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 10: has someone of his dad's feed, so them keeping up
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 10: doesn't shock me. And he's not even dodging Billy's punches.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 10: You know, he's using his speed to get out the
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 10: way because he's not built for a fight, which we've seen,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 10: which we've seen, we've seen since the Tip V season,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 10: which I still think was to me that was my
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 10: favorite season so far.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and then peoples like, well he laser kim
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 4: going half.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 10: I'm like, well, lasers are technically like all radiation, which
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 10: she now does. It doesn't show me that she can
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 10: tank the laser blast now.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So as we see Butcher's beating the snot out
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 5: of me, homeleanders pleading for his life, and he ends
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 5: it with the crow he said, which is is from
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 5: the comics. He said, this is Quebecca. He gives her
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 5: the killing blow and then prize out the break like,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 5: oh I like this, I y'all with there, thank you.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 5: And but that's not the end, because then you have
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 5: the pro the uh prologue, which is uh, Marvin gets remarried,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 5: he takes Ryan on with him. Uh, Huey is running
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 5: the audio video visual business that he had with his father.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 5: He's back running that, but Starlight's pregnant and they're they're
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 5: basically doing the whole Spider Man thing there. They're watching
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 5: the police band radio and going out and saving people
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 5: where they can.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 4: While being offered a job by the current president, not
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 4: our president Jesus Christ but not that clown.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 5: But getting offered by Uncle Bobby. Uncle Bobby a job
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 5: to run the super division. And while while at Timpting
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 5: Hugh he says no, and but the offer is still open.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 5: He was like, hey, offer is still on the table.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 5: So it's like, oh, okay, there's kind of an open
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 5: ended story. You know, Keemy go goes off the Paris
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 5: lives her life, you know, so technically happy ending. But
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 5: prior to that, when when the team is back together
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 5: and they've done the deed and they're back at their
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 5: hitting base and Arie and the Erie High School that's
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 5: here in Ohio, uh Terror, he finds Terror passed away,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 5: which in real life, the dog that plays Terror did
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 5: pass away.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 4: Old age Terror was old. He was an old dog. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 4: she died after filming, so r ip Terror in real life, yeah,
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 4: and people have theories like, well, how did terror die?
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, well, he was an old dog. And
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 5: then somebody said, well, when Hue was testing Kemiko, she
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 5: was giving off all that radiation and I'm like, ooh,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 5: now explained with the dog.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that would do it. He's his old age.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, that would kind of take him out.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 5: But that's the here that the dog guy. And now
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 5: for Butcher, like Ryan already said he doesn't want to
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 5: stay with Butcher. He doesn't want to be with him.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: He's no good, you know. And Butcher reluctantly believed, you know, agrees,
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 5: and that's what he tells Marvit. He said, you're gonna
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 5: have to take him on.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 4: And when that happens, terrordized.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 5: When terrordized Butcher pretty much, he's already got a plan
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: what he's going to do. But Daron dying was the
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 5: straw that broke Camel's back. He was just like, I
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 5: don't have a kid, my wife is gone. I did
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 5: the job I was supposed to do. Now my dog
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 5: is gone.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 5: That man has nothing left. And he he goes up
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 5: to Vaul Tower because he has the virus and he's
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 5: going to release it, and Hughie sees him leave and
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: he tracks him down, you know, he tracks him down
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 5: to Vaull Tower and they kind of have they have
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 5: a they have a fight. They have a fighting and
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 5: Hue he's getting his ass handed to him, naturally, but
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: you could tell Billy's holding back.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's holding back. He was like, if you're going
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 4: to do it, then do it. But I'd rather you.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 4: I'd rather be you that do it.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 5: And and Hue unfortunately does shoot Butcher, which that's also
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 5: in the comics where they have.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's sad because he actually was taking his hand
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 10: off the trigger when he did it, but he was like,
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 10: I probably wouldn't have let up on this thing at all.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, then he gets off of the job.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 10: I'm like, you could have other reason this job is
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 10: coming to you here because Butcher is gone, and this
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 10: would have been just.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 4: I get to just knock off soups all for the
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 4: rest of my life. That would have been the perfect
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 4: position for you.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 5: So he does, he does it, and they have their
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 5: they have that moment. You know, that's that regret, but
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 5: at the same is a regret from Queie side. But
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 5: for Butcher, it's just kind of it's solid. It's like, okay,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm fine, I'm fine. The way was I going
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 5: to go out? What?
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 4: Literally? What other way was I going to go out?
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 8: It was it was that line at the end where
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 8: he said you are this, you are the spinning him
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 8: at you, Lenny. I'm like, dang, you don't really tell
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 8: him that line on the way out?
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And then he passes, and then they showed the
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 5: prologue if everybody basically having happy endings.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 4: Mm hm they all they got the happy they stuck
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 4: the landing. Yeah, I'm glad everyone got that. My only
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 4: thing is how hard they forced Marie out the plot.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 10: But other than that, I'm satisfied with how this ended
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 10: and the fact that everyone didn't die. Congress actually doing
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 10: their jobs and impeaching somebody for once.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 6: Get you, and I need That's how I do his fiction.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 6: That's how I knew his fiction.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 10: I also need everyone to stop freaking lying on the internet,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 10: because everyone's like, oh, I don't get the big deal
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 10: about naming your new child after your passed away girlfriend, and.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, until it's until it's you.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 10: In black families, you get in the middle name at most,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 10: and if it's a first if it's a first name,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 10: they had to be a relative, and they got to
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 10: be dead, like you are, a brother, a mother, a brother,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 10: mother aunt, whatever. If you lost that cool.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 8: Name and the name and the child of your egg
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 8: by your current pregnant superhero I mean, Wilson.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 6: I remember, they weren't exus.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 4: They weren't.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 6: Him and Robin were more likely if that never happened,
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 6: if I'd have been married.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 8: But still still you're still you're still going to tell
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 8: me and and I have and I still have confidence
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 8: with this. You're going to tell me that, Hey, for
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 8: our child, let's name her. Let's give her the name
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 8: of the woman that I still would have if not
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 8: a train use breaks.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 5: You can look at it that way, or you can
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 5: look at it as him honoring her because he's on
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 5: this he was on this path because of her.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 6: True and also and also if you thinking about like
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 6: starlight my also because the end of the day, I
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 6: would feel starlight. Also, she actually does talk about she
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 6: has a little bit guilt about it as well, because
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: it was the soups that were like her, that were
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 6: like like that, that that kind of led to her death.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 6: Like you know, she wasn't directly involved, but they could
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 6: have like suits like her could have stopped those things
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: from happening. Yeah, and so like she always like she
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 6: has guilt about and she's a lot of good about
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of depths that aren't attribute to her. But
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: that's like that was also part of like her character.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, stuff that she came up and the way she
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 4: came up. For me, it was just all the people
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 4: acting surprised that other people were like, what, what's the problem.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 10: I don't see the issue. I'm like, yeah, stop, yo,
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 10: this is this is this has got to be engaged
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 10: in farming. I refuse to believe y'all don't get with
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 10: the issue with it.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 8: They don't get me wrong, I can I can see that.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 8: I can see the argument on both sides. I'm just like,
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 8: you go there and tell your woman you don't give
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 8: her the name of another woman.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got you in most in most normal circumstances.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 4: Oh no, that's not happening, right, you get a middle name.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, anything, if anything, this was there was a lot
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 5: of uh trauma bonding involved, uh some some form of
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 5: closure because like I said, this this robbing is the
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 5: reason why he got put on the path. He was
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 5: on that path, That's why he was on this path.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 5: He was like he felt the way he needed to
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 5: honor her. If this was his form of honoring her
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 5: her some kind of way, Okay, but that's that's a
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 5: black household.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 10: No, I get the reason that it's just watching all
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 10: the people acting purposely optuses about what.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 4: I don't see what the issue is. It's just like
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 4: y'all got I'm not this is bait. This has gotten
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 4: to be bait, and.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 10: Then folks trying to Yeah, but I'm also prop starlight
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 10: pregnancy and no powers, no weird. Oh you can only
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 10: move ahead. She just is pregnant with powers and that's right, Fride.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 10: It don't got to be a crutch in every series.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 10: Like so yeah, but also when it comes to but
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 10: when if people got mad at me on Facebook for this,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 10: I'm like, one thing about a pale protagon is between
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 10: Billy Butcher and the Punisher.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 4: That dog is gonna be the last strong Butcher. Butcher
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 4: was like, I'll be angry, lonely man. Terror is going.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 4: Everyone's gotta go fuck Butcher.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 6: John, you know, very John Wick of him. He was
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 6: like y'all call about John John.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 4: John John Wick, I am legend, which I understand.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 10: You had to put the dog down personally, at least
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 10: like Will Smith had a little bit more trauma.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 4: John Wick was just like, all right, y'all could have
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 4: just beat me. But know the dog too, y'all.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 10: Butcher was like, the entirety of an entire group of
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 10: people need to go because terror, my old ass.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 5: Broke Campbell's back. He was happy until he seen terror.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 5: He was like, you know what I got that?
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 7: But John Wick, it was the dog was a gift
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 7: from his wife that died from cancer. So him putting
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 7: belt to ask over that dead dog makes a lot
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 7: of sense to me.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 6: I can agree. I can agree with them.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 4: Plus, it only been a couple of months anyway since
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 4: he lost his wife. So he was like, uh huh. Butcher,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 4: I was retired. Butcher waited all thirty seconds.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 10: It was just like, all right, let's go ahead and
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 10: just drop this in the sprinkler system, right and noticed that.
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 4: I was like you we didn't even bring it up,
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 4: Like I was like, you could have been like, hey,
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 4: look dude, I found terror.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 7: I get it.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 4: That was like your last thing you had. You still
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 4: got friends.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 10: But then we just went the big brother Little Brother,
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 10: which I'm fine with, but that was another thing. I'm like,
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 10: just tell him you found the dog, and you know
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 10: why he's emotional right now? Why like the grand standout,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 10: he probably knew.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 4: He probably knew. He was like, yeah, they ain't gonna
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 4: be no talking him down from this. But I got
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 4: at least try and then and then punishers like that
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 4: ain't the only thing it took for me. I'm like, oh, says,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 4: oh my god.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 5: Well the show stuck the landing in our opinion, for
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 5: people who are into comics and then they see the
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 5: medium transfer over to a live action look here, I
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 5: prefer not to have it page for page.
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 4: As a comic.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 5: It takes away from the mystery of what's going to
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 5: happen next, which is why, like in The Walking Dead,
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 5: people that were supposed to pass on at certain times
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 5: they jumped. Robert Kirkman jumbled that up. He said, no, no,
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 5: this person's going to pass on later, and this person,
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 5: going Carl, should not.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 6: Even be dead.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 4: It was like it was people that lived that should
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 4: let your life, you know, way longer.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 6: At different times. Once Carl got I stopped watching, so
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, I won't remember Carl when he was
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 5: sitting on the roof, even chocolate pudding. That's why I
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 5: would say it was. But you're not going to get
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 5: a page for page Frank for frame adaptation for live
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 5: action because it takes away from that storyline.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 4: It really, it actually corners the story storyline.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 5: If they had done that for the boys and we
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 5: would have known it coming, it wouldn't have run the same.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 5: It would the ending wouldn't have been the same. You like, yeah,
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 5: it's a clone the whole time, you know, it just
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have run the same.
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 6: I think I think it's a it's a it's a
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 6: hard line to toew. I think you still you just
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 6: have to get some of the more important story moments
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 6: to be the same. And I think that's kind of
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 6: where like I mean, Marvel Comics has a lot of
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 6: their own issues in general, but like when it comes
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 6: to certain moments, they don't hit like they hit harder,
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 6: Like I shouldn't say it hits harder in the comics,
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 6: right unless I have bias, right now, bias that's a
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 6: different question, right like that, But but like as like
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 6: a show, like I said, as someone who hasn't read
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 6: The Boys comics. I don't. I watched a show and
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 6: I'm like, this is a complete story, and like, and
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 6: even people I've talked to you like, the most thing
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 6: I've seen the Boys comments is that it's just more
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 6: grotesque in some ways, right and so like but like
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 6: but like, you know, it gives you, like, you know,
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 6: this is a complete story that tells a similar tale,
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 6: just with slight deviations versus you know, the source material.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 6: And I think that's fine.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 6: It's like people getting mad at the new Resident Evil movie,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 6: where I'm like, I'd rather he do that, like tell
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 6: a story within the world instead of just going straight
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 6: for straight line, like let's do exact you know thing
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 6: that we've seen with Leon and stuff like that, which cool,
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 6: which I think we can do, but I'm interested in
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 6: what else is going on in the world. It's like
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 6: the problem with Star Wars. We keep telling we keep
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 6: trying to tie everything back to the Skywalkers, and this
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 6: is a big, big, old, big universe and we're like,
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 6: we can't. We can't just make something. We can make
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 6: whatever up. Like that's why like Star Wars visions, they
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 6: just they just throwing things at the wall and like
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 6: trying to just having fun with this, right, Yes, if
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 6: you want that specific story, then you're read. So I
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 6: think it's it's a balancing act. It's like like if
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 6: I'm going to adapt something, there has to be certain
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 6: story beats that have to hit. Like we talk about
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 6: this end of this where like where you know he
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 6: has to be Homelands, it has to be Butcher and
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 6: it has to be Homelander like at the end. But
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 6: how they get there that's has to change that path. Yeah,
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 6: And so that's that's what my my opinion is on
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 6: with if you're like when you're gapping straight from my Stoffel,
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 6: like you're trying to make that thing is that it's
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 6: there has to be a balance. Some people go too
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 6: far like the Halo TV show, like why why am
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 6: I seeing that man's face?
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 6: But like so early that it's early right, So like
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 6: that's like so like it just really it's just really
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 6: like you know it, there's a balance neck that thinks
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 6: some people take it too far left and take too
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 6: far right. It's very rare. We get the Boys or
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 6: even like Invincible where they're kind of close to what
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 6: being like right in the middle lot, we're going back
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 6: a boy, how Invincible ends too, because it's not gonna
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 6: be anything to common.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, you're still there's still beats that I
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 5: have to go back and be like, I actually forgot
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 5: that moment happened, you know, And.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: Then I go back and like, Okay, yeah, that did happen.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 4: That did happen.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 5: But it's so much going And the beautiful thing about
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 5: Invincible it was the beginning, middle, in the end yep,
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 5: like there was no ongoing, the this is it and
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 5: that's what I enjoyed. But another and I'm glad you
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 5: mentioned how certain stories like Marvel Comics has there's still
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 5: a story that I'm glad has never been adapted, and
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 5: it was the death of Captain Marvel, the male Captain.
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 4: That is probably one of the most powerful stories they've told.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 5: Because that version of Captain Marvel and Fanos they were
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 5: like Batman and Joker.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 4: They were always at each other.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 5: And then when you find out the one hero who
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 5: has all these powers and is pretty much then Vernible
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 5: gets cancer and that's what takes him out and he
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 5: basically is going through the whole notion. He's on his
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 5: deathbed and he's going through and who shows up Fanos
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 5: to say, you were my greatest adversary.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 4: Our battles were legendary.
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 5: He goes through the whole thing, a conversation you would
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 5: never have with any other protagonists and antagonists.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 4: M hm, it just it wouldn't happen any other way.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 5: It was the warriors. He gave him the warriors speech. Yeah,
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 5: like there will never be another adversary like you. You
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 5: gave it to me, and vice versa, and it was
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 5: and it was great. You know, those types of We
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 5: don't get too many of those stories anymore, not at all,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 5: you know, so that that was an intense story. That's
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 5: still that story always stands out to me as as
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 5: like one of the greatest Marvel stories that's out there.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 5: So but yeah, I'm glad that we don't get any
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 5: live adaptations. That's frame for frame for a copy. I'm
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 5: so glad because it does. It takes you know, now,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 5: Walking Dead. Don't get me wrong. It ran long. It
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 5: ran long.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 4: I lost I lost interest.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 6: It ran so when they killed when they kill a car,
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 6: I said, I don't I don't think you'll know what
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 6: y'all doing anymore, and I just stop watching Carl I said,
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 6: I said, come on, now, what are you doing here?
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 6: What are you doing?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 4: When did year? When did my year left?
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 5: Because this was right after the success of Black Panther,
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 5: And I said, when she left, I was like Hollywood
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 5: calling her name. Yeah, and she't gonna be able to
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 5: keep Hergan got his own spin off.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, and Nigan spinoff don't even make sense. I
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 6: saw some I saw some photos from it, and I'm
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 6: just like, we're just doing anything now. Money is too
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 6: the money was too good. We're just doing anything. Ricks
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 6: been off and.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 4: You know, it's just by the time and by the
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 4: time they did the spin off, I was like it started.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 6: It starts to get disgusting, the grotesque you could be.
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 6: You could be doing something like I will. I like
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 6: how Amazon and I don't delays them, but I like
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 6: how Amazon has like The Boys right now is the
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 6: only one that's gotten overblown. But like now they're now
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 6: doing the next one. I think it's not need to
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 6: costume because it's making the next one with the indie
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 6: comic about the two people who have sex and stop
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 6: time and rob Banks.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I think that's need.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 6: The cost of doing that one. I like that I'm like,
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 6: you know what, you know, we don't got to keep
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 6: doing just start a new to start the next one, AMC.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 4: People get another comic.
• 2:16:15

  Speaker 2: Spartans six one five shows still going on because we
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 2: have to cover why in the world the Golden Calf
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 2: still needs attention on how the fucker got here? Every
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 2: Wednesday at eight thirty pm Ish, myself too far as
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: TV and Joe cover everything in ours, video games, comics
• 2:20:20

• 2:20:23
  Speaker 2: going on where you can find them. Gaming streams will
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 2: be back up eventually.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 8: I'm, like I said, new work schedule, so once that
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 8: sorted out, first game up is gonna be pragmatic.
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 2: We are gonna try to knockout. I have this challenge
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 2: of trying to knock out three games in thirty six hours,
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 2: so three full thirty six game so it's gonna be
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 2: pragmat I'm Mouse and Silent Hill f that I'm going
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 2: to try to attempt to beat three games in thirty
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 2: six hours. So that's the challenge.
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 8: Once I get that set up and the timer and
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 8: the heartbeat monitor because folks apparently want to see you
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 8: get scared enough and then see your heart rate and
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 8: then call the doctor on you.
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 5: He said, beat three games at once. That's a better
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 5: deal than listening to Aubrey's three albums. You ain't lying
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 5: because who you know?
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 8: Only only great fan Lebron fans and YC fans who
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 8: defends people harder anyway. That also being said again, guys,
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 8: mental health is everything. Please check your mental because whatever
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 8: the mind does, body follows. Take advantage of services and
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 8: people to make sure that you have good mental health. Fellas,
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 8: please go to the doctor. It's not that freaking hard.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 8: There's no excuses. Make the time for it and get
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 8: it done. Cons are still going around, guys, which means
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 8: the rules still do apply. Rule number one. Respect the
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 8: conspray at all times. Cosplay is not consent. Please should
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 8: be like human beings.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 2: It's not that hard. Again, this goes to more and
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 2: more of the female varieties. This does not mean that
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 2: male cos players do not get essayed or worse. Unfortunately,
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 2: there are people out there that just can't seem to
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 2: control themselves because they think that when women cosplay, they
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 2: are your fantasies. They are not your fantasy is. They
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 2: are not your Geaishia girl. They're not anything but normal.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 2: Human beings who just simply want to enjoy themselves in
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 2: the cosplays that they have made or earned. So either
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 2: come correct with respect or get stomped out your choice,
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 2: and there's plenty of people that will love to stomp
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 2: you out of the con.
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 8: Trust me, I'm one of them. Rule number two HIGI
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 8: is important. I can I trust this enough water, soap, deodorant, shampoo,
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 8: because some of y'all, hear some of y'all's breath be
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 8: so bad that I should not be able to smell
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 8: with my back turn. Yes, that is a true story.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 8: Yes I cannot get the smell out of my nose
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 8: because I was your breath that god dang bad that
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 8: I can smell it with my back turn.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 2: That alone screams everything and more than just a cold
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 2: gateless thream fix and the last one that I have
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 2: for myself that I have for everybody else. Be nice,
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 2: be kind, talk, share and invite people to your fandoms.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 2: Don't be a dick at the same time. You know,
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 2: if you're going to blur Con next year with the
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 2: Slam with the Slam title, don't dress up like Hogan
• 2:23:01
