129
00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:24.480
Tad Eggleston: This is. This is a nice evergreen tweet. A tree could get struck by lightning in rural Nebraska, and this crowd could still find a way to blame it on the Ukraine.

130
00:09:27.090 --> 00:09:35.779
Tad Eggleston: As it was, Donald Trump, Jr. Who was saying that the La Fire Department had donated a bunch of their supplies to the Ukraine, and that was the problem.

Tad Eggleston: From Josh Penninger, meet Tedward, a blockhead with a heart of gold and talent for making bad situations worse. Tedward is in many ways the quintessential, lovable loser, an almost literal blockhead, and Mangenue, in the grand tradition of pee wee Herman Candide, and flaky font.

282
00:31:28.650 --> 00:31:52.259
Tad Eggleston: affording his Creator the perfect vehicle to indulge his brilliantly absurdist storytelling instincts, Tedward's susceptibility to temptation, exploitation, capitalistic or sexual and misplaced, trust continually lands him in ridiculous and hilarious situations, be they scatological, orgiastic, violent, or mundane, though

283
00:31:52.570 --> 00:32:21.109
Tad Eggleston: through it all his heart of gold never wavers. Ted Ward is the debut collection from British-born Philadelphia cartoonist josh pettinger featuring sex trousers, coital hygienists, warm televisions, hot rocks and clown meat as well as romance, crime, conflict, and cosmic wonders.

293
00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:06.970
Tyler Johnson: That's awesome. I wonder how Godzilla got all the way to Chicago.

294
00:34:06.970 --> 00:34:29.320
Tad Eggleston: I don't know. Maybe we'll find out. Maybe we won't hive number one from Aj. Libreederman and Mike Henderson. Mason Shaw is no one a worker bee. All that changes when he crosses paths with a few stragglers trying to stay one step ahead of a queen with immense powers, who's determined to control her hive, no matter who she has to kill. Welcome to the hive.

295
00:34:29.850 --> 00:34:32.669
Tad Eggleston: And finally well, maybe not. Finally.

300
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.372
Tyler Johnson: This I'm looking forward to. I like Cullen Bunn.

301
00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:15.120

Tyler Johnson: Terrible copy.

307
00:35:58.540 --> 00:36:02.879
Tad Eggleston: No, I I hit the wrong one. I was looking at number 2 number one.

308
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.480
Tyler Johnson: I know.

309
00:36:03.810 --> 00:36:08.299
Tad Eggleston: Isa. It'll Harvey Award nominated Justin Jordan

Tad Eggleston: Robert Venditi and and the David Laugham.

316
00:36:56.870 --> 00:37:02.450
Tad Eggleston: there's even. There's even a a not

317
00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:13.190
Tad Eggleston: ridiculously ridiculously expensive level where you can get a 1 of one comic with you drawn into the story.

318
00:37:13.190 --> 00:37:14.260
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

319
00:37:14.550 --> 00:37:15.220
Tad Eggleston: Half.

320
00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:19.540
Tyler Johnson: God! I would love that that would be so cool.

321
00:37:20.200 --> 00:37:21.290
Tad Eggleston: So.

322
00:37:21.890 --> 00:37:23.700
Tyler Johnson: I'd be showing that off to everybody.

323
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:26.730
Tad Eggleston: That's pretty much all the crowdfunding for now.

324
00:37:26.730 --> 00:37:27.430
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

325
00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:32.910
Tad Eggleston: I didn't even manage to put it in our rundown. I just remembered it off the top of my head, so.

326
00:37:32.910 --> 00:37:34.119
Tyler Johnson: I was. Gonna say, I don't see anything.

327
00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:37.019
Tad Eggleston: That's why I can't tell you when it ends, because I don't have

328
00:37:37.020 --> 00:37:42.559
Tad Eggleston: it in front of me. I just remembered backing it this week

329
00:37:43.600 --> 00:37:59.529
Tad Eggleston: and sending any email. The bad idea to say, Hey, come, talk to us about this because a. It'd be cool to talk, to laugh him or Venditi BI really want to talk to the guys at bad idea, because clearly, whatever they're doing is working because

330
00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:02.090
Tad Eggleston: A, they haven't gone away.

331
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:03.560
Tad Eggleston: B,

332
00:38:03.850 --> 00:38:10.650
Tad Eggleston: you know what little we've talked to people who have done any work for bad idea. They got paid well.

333
00:38:11.020 --> 00:38:12.040
Tad Eggleston: right?

334
00:38:12.230 --> 00:38:13.570
Tad Eggleston: So

335
00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:20.239
Tad Eggleston: you know, they've got a weird. I mean. They had a weird marketing strategy out of the gate, and now they're more

336
00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:27.229
Tad Eggleston: Kickstarter Hardcover volume things, and still kind of a weird marketing strategy. But I mean a

337
00:38:27.560 --> 00:38:31.360
Tad Eggleston: I generally wind up pulling the trigger, spending more money than

338
00:38:31.780 --> 00:38:43.879
Tad Eggleston: I normally would, because I sit back and go. They're giving me an awful lot for this 100 bucks, and I know it's gonna be awesome because it's this creator and that creator. You know what I mean. Yeah,

339
00:38:45.080 --> 00:38:55.710
Tad Eggleston: And like, I'm always torn between, like the the personal need to

340
00:38:56.220 --> 00:38:58.909
Tad Eggleston: stretch my dollar as far as I can.

341
00:38:59.100 --> 00:39:03.450
Tad Eggleston: and the understanding that the more I pay for the things that I love

342
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:07.290
Tad Eggleston: the more the people who make them get paid.

343
00:39:07.290 --> 00:39:08.599
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, which it's like.

344
00:39:08.600 --> 00:39:11.800
Tad Eggleston: And that means that I get more things that I love.

345
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:15.700
Tad Eggleston: Yes, they will make more of what you want, right?

346
00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:16.160
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

347
00:39:16.730 --> 00:39:22.609
Tad Eggleston: So so you know, they've kind of gone a route where

348
00:39:26.390 --> 00:39:38.020
Tad Eggleston: they're charging what they're worth, even though it's above market value on a lot of things. And or they're they're they're like they're eschewing so many

349
00:39:39.240 --> 00:39:40.420
Tad Eggleston: of of

350
00:39:40.700 --> 00:39:48.800
Tad Eggleston: the things that that you generally see in comics marketing. But it seems to be working. They're certainly paying people, at least from everything we've heard.

351
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:49.190
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

352
00:39:49.190 --> 00:39:53.080
Tad Eggleston: You know the people who work for them get paid.

353
00:39:53.080 --> 00:39:54.368
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, which is huge.

354
00:39:55.680 --> 00:39:56.520
Tad Eggleston: So.

355
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:05.610
Tad Eggleston: But again I you know their, their their marketing strategy seems

356
00:40:07.720 --> 00:40:11.319
Tad Eggleston: so wacky that I'd like to be able to talk to somebody about it.

357
00:40:11.330 --> 00:40:12.030
Tyler Johnson: And just.

358
00:40:12.030 --> 00:40:14.129
Tad Eggleston: This is essentially what I said in the email. But I.

359
00:40:14.130 --> 00:40:16.780
Tyler Johnson: I'm like, how do you make this work? I mean, yeah.

360
00:40:16.780 --> 00:40:21.750
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I mean, it seems like it is, you know.

361
00:40:22.737 --> 00:40:24.700
Tad Eggleston: So what'd you love this week.

362
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:29.720
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man, snot girl! Had all kinds of titillation and sex.

363
00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:31.030
Tad Eggleston: That was good.

364
00:40:31.030 --> 00:40:31.560
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

365
00:40:31.560 --> 00:40:32.509

Tad Eggleston: I didn't get my copy.

370
00:40:39.870 --> 00:40:40.660
Tyler Johnson: You didn't.

371
00:40:41.090 --> 00:40:45.529
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. I wonder if Marvel hadn't shown up at my store, or

372
00:40:45.830 --> 00:40:48.010
Tad Eggleston: because I haven't read the unleash hell.

373
00:40:48.130 --> 00:40:48.940
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

374
00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:59.740
Tyler Johnson: And then absolute batman was my number 2. That one's doing really gangbusters from Scott Snyder and Gabriel Hernandez, Walter, Walter.

375
00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:01.390

Tad Eggleston: Is this? Is it centered on Electra or Matt?

379
00:41:14.700 --> 00:41:17.389
Tyler Johnson: No, Electra. Well, at least in issue one.

380
00:41:17.820 --> 00:41:18.510
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

381
00:41:18.510 --> 00:41:19.120

00:41:23.940 --> 00:41:28.410

385
00:41:28.930 --> 00:41:31.830

386
00:41:32.060 --> 00:41:33.560

Tad Eggleston: I'm gonna open mine.

397
00:41:57.990 --> 00:41:59.889
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, read it. If I don't open it.

398
00:41:59.890 --> 00:42:04.639
Tyler Johnson: That's exactly what my wife said. She goes. You can't read it if you don't open it, and I'm like that's true.

399
00:42:05.130 --> 00:42:20.920
Tad Eggleston: I always got the poly bag sex criminals, and I'd open them, too. Of course the Poly Bag sex criminals also had a joke on the poly bag. So my poly bag, sex criminals. I put back in that poly bag, and then I put the poly bag with the comic in a bag and board.

405
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:43.680
Tad Eggleston: I didn't. I didn't get to read it yet.

407
00:42:49.010 --> 00:42:56.850

408
00:42:57.090 --> 00:42:59.770

409
00:42:59.910 --> 00:43:11.109

00:43:11.690 --> 00:43:14.429
Tad Eggleston: and a living island, and and

411
00:43:15.080 --> 00:43:16.690
Tad Eggleston: where are you shaking your head at.

412
00:43:16.950 --> 00:43:20.819
Tyler Johnson: My wife. She was looking for the dog. It's not she. Dog's not in here.

413
00:43:20.820 --> 00:43:27.889
Tad Eggleston: No dog in your room. No, lucky devils! Number one was amazing.

414
00:43:27.890 --> 00:43:29.119
Tyler Johnson: I agreed. Lucky devil.

415
00:43:29.120 --> 00:43:33.620
Tad Eggleston: Charles Sewell and Ryan Brown, fantastic.

416
00:43:34.836 --> 00:43:51.359
Tad Eggleston: And then the final issue of this volume. They have officially been greenlit for a second volume, coming either later this year or early next year. I've confirmed it from Zack.

417
00:43:51.500 --> 00:44:15.730
Tad Eggleston: I guess it hasn't been announced. So maybe I didn't say that out loud. But I emailed them right after this, because there's a pretty Major Cliffhanger at the end. But it's like a newly introduced Cliffhanger. Did you read kill all immortals? 5. That's what I'm talking about. I didn't kill all immortals. 5 came out this week. It was the end of the 1st arc, and it was really really good. And then we found out that there are more immortals.

418
00:44:15.730 --> 00:44:17.770
Tyler Johnson: It's right here on my pile.

419
00:44:17.950 --> 00:44:18.300
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

420
00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:19.830
Tyler Johnson: I have not read it yet.

421
00:44:20.361 --> 00:44:26.280
Tyler Johnson: I didn't get my comic books till late in the week, because Diamond was late. Okay, so

422
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:26.919
Tyler Johnson: so I didn't.

423
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:31.169
Tad Eggleston: I went in on Wednesday, so maybe I just wound up missing.

424
00:44:31.170 --> 00:44:32.620
Tyler Johnson: I got mine Friday.

425
00:44:32.620 --> 00:44:34.269

00:44:49.200 --> 00:44:52.190
Tad Eggleston: really liking Caitlin. Yarsky's living hell.

429
00:44:52.500 --> 00:44:55.639
Tad Eggleston: Batman. Dark patterns. Number 2 is really good, too.

430
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:04.960
Tad Eggleston: Man. The wrap up of Survival Street radical left this week.

431
00:45:05.610 --> 00:45:08.930
Tad Eggleston: What's the furthest place from here? 21 was really good.

432
00:45:08.930 --> 00:45:12.530
Tyler Johnson: I think I for Street.

433
00:45:13.900 --> 00:45:14.820
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

434
00:45:14.820 --> 00:45:17.030
Tyler Johnson: I didn't. I didn't see it.

435
00:45:17.030 --> 00:45:17.960
Tad Eggleston: See

436
00:45:18.140 --> 00:45:25.809
Tad Eggleston: except survival streets, one that I read digitally, and there's so many that that have gotten out of sync digital versus

437
00:45:26.070 --> 00:45:32.509
Tad Eggleston: print. So it's possible, depending on which distributor your shop orders it from

438
00:45:32.690 --> 00:45:34.799
Tad Eggleston: that it could come like next week.

439
00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:35.850
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

440
00:45:36.120 --> 00:45:37.919
Tad Eggleston: So I wouldn't sweat it too much.

441
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.380
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

442
00:45:41.120 --> 00:45:48.269
Tad Eggleston: Those not afraid. Kyle, Kyle starts with another another serial killer series.

443
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.430
Tad Eggleston: Really good. Yeah.

444
00:45:52.830 --> 00:45:59.249
Tad Eggleston: So you're catching up to me on the one piece race. I finished up.

445
00:45:59.550 --> 00:46:05.310
Tad Eggleston: I finished up another volume like right before we went on air.

446
00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:16.449
Tyler Johnson: Did you? No, I read I I tried really hard to read early in the week, and then then I get busy. So then, like by the time today rolls around. My God, what? What did I read again?

447
00:46:17.167 --> 00:46:20.910
Tyler Johnson: But yeah, I am on chapter 3, 60.

448
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:27.489
Tad Eggleston: Right. So you're you're probably just getting back to real time after the flashback sequence.

449
00:46:27.490 --> 00:46:28.280
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

450
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:33.220

Tyler Johnson: Nope.

453
00:46:38.820 --> 00:46:39.730
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

454
00:46:40.270 --> 00:46:43.709
Tyler Johnson: Nico has. Robin had just been arrested, and

455
00:46:44.872 --> 00:46:47.070
Tad Eggleston: She she left.

456
00:46:47.430 --> 00:46:54.529
Tad Eggleston: She left them because she wouldn't be able to attain her greatest wish if she stayed with them.

457
00:46:55.390 --> 00:47:00.940
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Well, Zorro is going. He's he. He's kind of figured out that she must have a plan.

458
00:47:01.460 --> 00:47:02.110
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

459
00:47:02.110 --> 00:47:03.959

Tad Eggleston: Is Zolo managed? Are they? Are they on the train yet?

461
00:47:09.170 --> 00:47:09.780
Tyler Johnson: No.

462
00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:11.040
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

463
00:47:11.940 --> 00:47:12.790
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

00:47:12.790 --> 00:47:14.739
Tyler Johnson: And you're at 3, 67.

465
00:47:14.740 --> 00:47:15.460
Tad Eggleston: Right.

466
00:47:15.690 --> 00:47:18.669
Tyler Johnson: Okay, well, we're just gonna keep plugging away.

467
00:47:18.670 --> 00:47:21.410
Tad Eggleston: Plugging away next week, plug away.

468
00:47:21.410 --> 00:47:23.899
Tyler Johnson: Do we have more of our end of year list next week.

469
00:47:23.900 --> 00:47:29.339
Tad Eggleston: No, this is this is this is our well, I mean, we'll we might talk about some of the like.

470
00:47:29.520 --> 00:47:33.780
Tyler Johnson: Honorable mention type stuff next week. But no next week we were just gonna.

471
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.059
Tad Eggleston: Vibe. Some one piece.

472
00:47:37.060 --> 00:47:38.619
Tyler Johnson: Good, good! I'd really like.

473
00:47:38.620 --> 00:47:38.960
Tad Eggleston: Them.

474
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.819
Tyler Johnson: I really want to invest.

475
00:47:42.010 --> 00:47:45.069
Tyler Johnson: I feel like it's such an afterthought, and I don't want it to be that way.

476
00:47:45.270 --> 00:47:48.520
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, next week's vibe, some one piece.

477
00:47:48.520 --> 00:47:49.140
Tad Eggleston: Okay?

478
00:47:49.140 --> 00:47:50.050
Tad Eggleston: So.

479
00:47:50.860 --> 00:48:00.830
Tad Eggleston: but speaking of year-end lists, we got 3 more categories for this week. We've got our translations, our nonfiction, and our Wild Court category.

480
00:48:00.830 --> 00:48:13.990
Tyler Johnson: Can I? Have? I'd like to in interject my translations. I'm just going to say this up front. My translations are all manga, because I I didn't read any translated books this year.

481
00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:14.749
Tyler Johnson: I was like.

482
00:48:14.750 --> 00:48:15.290
Tad Eggleston: Oh!

483
00:48:15.290 --> 00:48:18.010
Tyler Johnson: I'm like trying to figure it out. I'm like, did I read any.

484
00:48:20.450 --> 00:48:24.470
Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's okay for them to all be manga. One of mine's manga.

485
00:48:24.470 --> 00:48:25.220
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

486
00:48:25.640 --> 00:48:31.860
Tyler Johnson: But in my brain, of course, they're translated because they're so popular. But like

487
00:48:31.970 --> 00:48:34.309
Tyler Johnson: those don't really in my head.

488
00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:40.240
Tyler Johnson: Manga doesn't really feel like is what we're talking about for this category.

489
00:48:40.770 --> 00:48:42.390
Tad Eggleston: I don't know why not.

490
00:48:42.390 --> 00:48:45.959
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I mean, you're right. It just manga manga.

491
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.240
Tad Eggleston: We don't have. We don't have a manga. Only category.

492
00:48:49.240 --> 00:48:49.810
Tyler Johnson: No, we don't.

493
00:48:49.810 --> 00:48:54.699
Tad Eggleston: We had a manga category. Then then I could see it. But we don't.

494
00:48:54.700 --> 00:49:01.389
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, we're not. We're not too deep into manga yet to have one. All right, Tad, what was your number? 3 for translations?

495
00:49:01.820 --> 00:49:15.910
Tad Eggleston: High hypericum from Manuel Fior, from fanagraphics. It's kind of a and twenty-something finding yourself story.

496
00:49:16.070 --> 00:49:16.510
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

497
00:49:18.500 --> 00:49:22.630
Tad Eggleston: Artsy people, beautiful art.

498
00:49:23.910 --> 00:49:25.330
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I'll have to check it out.

499
00:49:25.330 --> 00:49:29.420
Tad Eggleston: Can't, can't, can't remember which, which.

500
00:49:30.080 --> 00:49:35.009
Tad Eggleston: and I think I'd read it already. But but it was. It was one of the the

501
00:49:35.300 --> 00:49:37.329
Tad Eggleston: was one of one of the

502
00:49:38.210 --> 00:49:42.069
Tad Eggleston: picks from one of our guests for their book that.

503
00:49:43.390 --> 00:49:44.357
Tyler Johnson: They should recommend.

504
00:49:44.680 --> 00:49:47.900
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, that not enough. People had read so that they sure sure.

505
00:49:47.900 --> 00:49:54.400
Tad Eggleston: And I read it so early in the year that and I didn't manage to go back and and

506
00:49:57.740 --> 00:49:59.149
Tad Eggleston: revisit it.

507
00:49:59.900 --> 00:50:02.420
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, describing it well enough.

508
00:50:02.420 --> 00:50:03.670
Tyler Johnson: Right.

509
00:50:03.670 --> 00:50:09.970
Tad Eggleston: Painted and beautiful. And oh, that's right, that's right. It well, it it actually.

510
00:50:10.230 --> 00:50:11.539
Tad Eggleston: Oh, okay. Now.

511
00:50:11.540 --> 00:50:13.254
Tyler Johnson: I'm looking at it right now.

512
00:50:13.680 --> 00:50:16.730
Tad Eggleston: It. It takes place in like 2 time periods.

513
00:50:16.730 --> 00:50:17.430
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

514
00:50:20.150 --> 00:50:30.820
Tad Eggleston: One is is, I want to say, one is more contemporary, and people dealing with

515
00:50:32.060 --> 00:50:36.140
Tad Eggleston: like a museum exhibit and whatnot, and the other is, is like

516
00:50:36.390 --> 00:50:40.059
Tad Eggleston: Howard Carter, and opening of of Tut's Tomb.

517
00:50:40.890 --> 00:50:41.620
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

518
00:50:45.570 --> 00:50:52.540
Tad Eggleston: I think that feels right now that now that you said that.

519
00:50:52.540 --> 00:50:55.540
Tyler Johnson: Okay, it looks cool, but like it's really good.

520
00:50:55.540 --> 00:51:11.039
Tyler Johnson: The painted, the painterly style of the artwork, right? This cover of this lady's leg kind of poking out from underneath the blanket, and she's got a book next to her, and she's been reading and some cigarettes there. I just think it's a cool cover. Very nice.

521
00:51:11.650 --> 00:51:33.619
Tad Eggleston: I mean. Here we go. Teresa's life has always been a comfortable straight line, with every goal set for herself achieved right on schedule comes as little surprise when she wins a prestigious scholarship to help mount an exhibition in Berlin, celebrating the discovery of 2 Commons tomb by Howard Carter in 1922.

522
00:51:33.630 --> 00:51:46.670
Tad Eggleston: Ruben is a fellow young Italian who never finished his art studies and views Berlin as his personal playground. When Teresa and Ruben meet, fate will forever change the trajectory of their existence.

523
00:51:46.930 --> 00:52:10.550
Tad Eggleston: Hypericum follows in parallel Carter's landmark, 19 twenties, discovery in Egypt and Teresa and Reuben's passionate yet tormented love affair set in 19 nineties, Berlin, between Egypt and Berlin. The 2 eras confront and intertwine in a story that has its center in the hypericum or Saint John's wart a plant with unusual properties.

524
00:52:10.750 --> 00:52:28.960
Tad Eggleston: This sublimely romantic journey into Egyptian grandeur, the vibrations of youth and the anxieties of the heart is a masterpiece of graphic fiction by one of the world's contemporary great contemporary, graphic novelists about how the strongest bonds are created by the passage of time.

525
00:52:30.200 --> 00:52:31.540
Tad Eggleston: So yeah.

526
00:52:31.770 --> 00:52:33.179
Tyler Johnson: It sounds awesome.

527
00:52:33.180 --> 00:52:35.019
Tad Eggleston: It is. It's very good.

528
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.110
Tad Eggleston: That was my number 3.

529
00:52:40.110 --> 00:52:47.717
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Well, my number 3 like, I said, is a manga. It's chainsaw man by Tatsuki fujimoto

530
00:52:48.140 --> 00:52:51.840
Tad Eggleston: I haven't read any chainsaw man yet. I read his one shot.

531
00:52:52.370 --> 00:52:58.700
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, my son was like, Dad, you've got to watch this. So we watched the manga of it, and it was super.

532
00:52:58.700 --> 00:53:02.229
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I've heard great things about it. Yeah, but I haven't read it yet.

533
00:53:02.230 --> 00:53:17.980
Tyler Johnson: Super bloody, super gory and so I read the 1st manga and I'm hooked. I I'm just gonna keep going. I I feel weird putting it on translations, because I haven't read any volumes that came out this year yet.

534
00:53:17.980 --> 00:53:21.099
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, but there are ones that came out this year.

535
00:53:22.520 --> 00:53:23.350
Tyler Johnson: I'm just not there.

Tad Eggleston: like 2 really good friends who are also intimate.

540
00:53:59.530 --> 00:54:13.060
Tad Eggleston: at least sometimes when they get together, and they play music together, and they planned like this weekend away, and it wound up raining the whole time. So they just stayed in this nice cabin, and

541
00:54:14.680 --> 00:54:18.029
Tad Eggleston: talked and played music, and had sex for the whole weekend.

542
00:54:18.030 --> 00:54:23.320
Tyler Johnson: Okay, but it's really beautiful and poignant, and and that sort of thing. Wow.

543
00:54:23.550 --> 00:54:24.740
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

544
00:54:26.720 --> 00:54:36.130

Tyler Johnson: awesome.

553
00:54:52.904 --> 00:54:59.820
Tyler Johnson: We've been plugging our way through it. We're trying really hard to make our way through it, but.

554
00:54:59.820 --> 00:55:06.050
Tad Eggleston: You know, make it doing roughly. A volume a week is pretty good.

555
00:55:06.050 --> 00:55:07.609
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

556
00:55:07.610 --> 00:55:11.219
Tad Eggleston: It's not our fault that there's a hundred some odd volumes.

557
00:55:11.430 --> 00:55:12.180
Tyler Johnson: Hmm!

558
00:55:12.390 --> 00:55:13.050
Tyler Johnson: You're right.

559
00:55:14.890 --> 00:55:22.399
Tyler Johnson: I wonder? I I said this, you know, 6 months ago I want to know where the story will be when we get to Volume 100. You know what I mean.

560
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.479
Tad Eggleston: Right, yeah, yeah.

561
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:27.940
Tyler Johnson: But anyway what's your number one?

562
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:30.500
Tad Eggleston: See, I am

563
00:55:30.970 --> 00:55:43.240
Tad Eggleston: going the other way. You're you're sitting there going. I feel bad because they haven't. I haven't read stuff that was actually printed in the Us. This year. Yep, my top book

564
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:46.810
Tad Eggleston: from a 2024 list.

565
00:55:46.810 --> 00:55:47.470
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

566
00:55:49.870 --> 00:55:52.570
Tad Eggleston: Hasn't been printed in the United States yet.

567
00:55:52.720 --> 00:55:53.789
Tyler Johnson: Oh, not yet. Okay.

568
00:55:53.790 --> 00:56:01.320
Tad Eggleston: I got an advanced reader copy of it digitally, and loved it so much

569
00:56:01.550 --> 00:56:05.780
Tad Eggleston: that it made the top of my list because it's been on, viz.

570
00:56:09.160 --> 00:56:24.810
Tad Eggleston: through through your viz. Subscription on the web only because it's an adult book, any any 18, and over books you can't do through the app. You have to go to the website to do them. But Inio Asano's Mugina into the deep.

571
00:56:26.070 --> 00:56:39.149
Tad Eggleston: Just kind of a post-apocalyptic. You can sell your essentially your, your your rights as a human

572
00:56:39.810 --> 00:56:45.550
Tad Eggleston: and just cease to exist, at least for legal purposes.

573
00:56:46.270 --> 00:56:51.740
Tad Eggleston: The people who have done that become assassins. So you've got like these roller blade.

574
00:56:54.462 --> 00:57:07.850
Tad Eggleston: ninja assassins and and and okay, this crazy end stage capitalist, Tokyo.

575
00:57:08.855 --> 00:57:13.309
Tad Eggleston: and India. Asano, who's 1 of my favorite Mangaka.

576
00:57:13.680 --> 00:57:19.680
Tad Eggleston: He did goodnight, pun, pun and girl on the shore.

577
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:20.410
Tyler Johnson: Right.

578
00:57:20.740 --> 00:57:23.791
Tad Eggleston: Number of other just fantastic books.

579
00:57:24.820 --> 00:57:27.419
Tad Eggleston: and this one's just been amazing so far.

580
00:57:27.860 --> 00:57:38.519
Tad Eggleston: So, since those with, viz. Manga subscriptions can read the 1st 12 or 14 chapters right now.

581
00:57:38.520 --> 00:57:39.849
Tyler Johnson: Okay, that's cool.

582
00:57:40.382 --> 00:57:44.644
Tad Eggleston: I decided that that qualified as this year,

583
00:57:45.710 --> 00:57:46.380
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

584
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:48.789
Tad Eggleston: This is. This is what it looks like.

585
00:57:49.180 --> 00:57:50.560
Tyler Johnson: Oh, that's cool!

586
00:57:50.810 --> 00:57:59.689
Tad Eggleston: Actually let me let me take you. Take you back a page to an action scene. Oh, that's right. This chapter started with some color.

587
00:58:00.930 --> 00:58:08.999
Tyler Johnson: I really enjoy that when Isadora has yeah, that's cool. Very cool.

588
00:58:10.908 --> 00:58:24.361
Tyler Johnson: That brings us to my number one, which has a color 1st page, usually, which is from this media or shown and jump over in Japan.

589
00:58:24.860 --> 00:58:29.119
Tad Eggleston: Right probably would have been my number 4 this year.

590
00:58:29.120 --> 00:58:29.760
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

591
00:58:30.790 --> 00:58:34.250
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I really like the volume, but we only got one new volume.

592
00:58:34.250 --> 00:58:34.850
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

593
00:58:34.850 --> 00:58:41.620
Tad Eggleston: And it was a good new volume, but like it was just another Isadora volume. It it it.

645
01:02:49.830 --> 01:02:51.079
Tyler Johnson: they're just really

646
01:02:51.610 --> 01:03:00.579
Tyler Johnson: interesting takes on. I've always. I'm always interested. I've never got to tried any of this, so I'm not admitting anything. But I've always been.

01:03:18.305 --> 01:03:20.619

01:03:49.880 --> 01:04:02.329
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Sunflowers by Kesey young somebody recommended me this book, because while the person in this book is bipolar one, I've been diagnosed as bipolar 2

660
01:04:02.979 --> 01:04:11.900
Tyler Johnson: and the difference is just how long the mania and the depression lasts in in your episodes.

661
01:04:12.466 --> 01:04:19.240
Tyler Johnson: Whereas a bipolar 2 will be fairly quick from from going from one mood to the next.

662
01:04:19.853 --> 01:04:24.116
Tyler Johnson: In a bipolar one. We'll have these long, prolonged

663
01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:33.160
Tyler Johnson: balance of of mania, you know. But sunflowers is just this great story about the

664
01:04:33.470 --> 01:04:36.690
Tyler Johnson: you know, the disorder of bipolar disorder.

665
01:04:36.690 --> 01:04:43.880
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, my top one was lies. My teacher told me

666
01:04:44.130 --> 01:04:48.849
Tad Eggleston: the adaptation of the James Lowen book by Nate Powell.

667
01:04:50.108 --> 01:04:52.180
Tad Eggleston: This is so good.

668
01:04:52.980 --> 01:04:59.160
Tad Eggleston: He did such a good job, such a good job.

669
01:05:03.180 --> 01:05:08.100
Tad Eggleston: I've gone from my silly stage to my mellow stage. If you hadn't noticed.

670
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:13.669
Tad Eggleston: rather than having silly comments. I'm just like it was good.

671
01:05:13.670 --> 01:05:18.020
Tyler Johnson: I just yeah, you just. I did notice that you went like, you know, I've hit my wall.

672
01:05:18.490 --> 01:05:25.719

673
01:05:26.100 --> 01:05:30.910
Tyler Johnson: Hmm, sure all right.

674
01:05:30.910 --> 01:05:32.309
Tad Eggleston: I'm hitting my wall.

675
01:05:32.310 --> 01:05:39.780
Tyler Johnson: Okay, moving on to our 3rd and final category for the evening. We've got our wild card

676
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:41.190
Tyler Johnson: these this.

677
01:05:41.190 --> 01:05:48.659
Tad Eggleston: I think I think it's hilarious that we each have something in our wildcard that the other had in a different category.

678
01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:54.279
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, and that was the thing that I messed up on. I accidentally put one in my category.

679
01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:58.880
Tad Eggleston: Well, yeah, but but but your number 2 was in my animals. Are people too.

Tad Eggleston: And and my number 3 was one of your graphic novels of the year.

682
01:06:07.540 --> 01:06:10.840
Tad Eggleston: So rock paper scissors to see who goes first.st

683
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:11.670
Tyler Johnson: All right. Ready.

684
01:06:11.670 --> 01:06:13.060
Tad Eggleston: Ready, one.

685
01:06:13.060 --> 01:06:13.720
Tyler Johnson: We're 2.

686
01:06:13.720 --> 01:06:15.150
Tad Eggleston: 2, 3.

687
01:06:16.500 --> 01:06:17.869
Tyler Johnson: I can't see your hand.

688
01:06:18.990 --> 01:06:20.300
Tad Eggleston: You cut my hand.

689
01:06:20.300 --> 01:06:28.799
Tyler Johnson: Okay, all right. Going first.st absolute universe. This is absolute batman, absolute superman and absolute wonder. Woman.

690
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:30.660
Tad Eggleston: Wonder woman's amazing.

691
01:06:30.660 --> 01:06:36.509
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I I recently got on that train. I I was really just.

692
01:06:36.510 --> 01:06:38.289
Tad Eggleston: Wonder, woman from hell.

693
01:06:38.290 --> 01:06:38.700
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

694
01:06:39.190 --> 01:06:50.419
Tyler Johnson: I've recently just been reading the batman one, but bought the other ones to get just get caught up in the whole universe, because I I just kind of realized they're gonna continue on with this universe for a while.

695
01:06:50.420 --> 01:06:51.370
Tad Eggleston: Yep. Yep.

696
01:06:52.530 --> 01:06:53.100
Tyler Johnson: So that.

697
01:06:53.100 --> 01:06:54.330
Tad Eggleston: 3 new ones coming, soon.

698
01:06:54.330 --> 01:06:55.550
Tyler Johnson: My number 3.

699
01:06:55.840 --> 01:07:02.429
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. My number 3 is Mary Tyler Moorhawk from Dave Baker.

700
01:07:02.630 --> 01:07:06.879
Tad Eggleston: and the biggest reason I wound up throwing it in the wild card

701
01:07:07.550 --> 01:07:11.870
Tad Eggleston: category rather than the graphic novel category.

702
01:07:13.600 --> 01:07:24.950
Tad Eggleston: Aside from the fact that there are just so many graphic novels, it was hard to to get to 3. Period is the mix between comics and prose just made it kind of its

703
01:07:25.590 --> 01:07:27.160
Tad Eggleston: own thing.

704
01:07:30.170 --> 01:07:34.129
Tad Eggleston: And I thought that that, like it, was better put in the.

705
01:07:35.970 --> 01:07:36.400
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

706
01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:41.840
Tad Eggleston: The wild card category, at least as far as I was concerned. Yeah.

707
01:07:42.050 --> 01:07:43.100
Tad Eggleston: So.

708
01:07:44.520 --> 01:07:49.080
Tyler Johnson: Cool. Well, my number 2, you had it in your animals or people, too. Is that what it was called.

709
01:07:49.080 --> 01:07:51.699
Tad Eggleston: That's right. Animals are people, too.

710
01:07:51.860 --> 01:08:01.979
Tyler Johnson: All right beneath the trees where nobody sees by Patrick Corbeth. I was blown away by this series. It was so good like I.

711
01:08:03.080 --> 01:08:09.760
Tyler Johnson: It felt like reading a Disney Ducktales comic. A horror version, right? It was all.

712
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:15.109
Tad Eggleston: It was. It was, it was! It was the serial killer in Cape Suzette.

713
01:08:16.536 --> 01:08:17.450
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

714
01:08:17.450 --> 01:08:17.800
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

715
01:08:18.330 --> 01:08:19.180
Tyler Johnson: Don't like it.

716
01:08:20.320 --> 01:08:26.540
Tyler Johnson: So yeah, great, great, great comic. I can't wait to do it. I can't read to read Patrick's next series.

717
01:08:26.710 --> 01:08:30.150
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, my, my number 2

718
01:08:30.500 --> 01:08:36.979
Tad Eggleston: is both my number 2 and my number one book that I hope will be spectacular.

719
01:08:37.189 --> 01:08:38.919
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, because the first.st

720
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:40.120
Tad Eggleston: 1st 4

721
01:08:40.979 --> 01:09:10.849
Tad Eggleston: one shots that make up the horizon experiment the Manchurian from Pornsak, Pishashote, and Terry Dodson, sacred dam from Sabir Pirzada and Michael Walsh, Moon dogs from, and Kelsey, Ramsey and motherfucking monsters from Jay Holtham and Michael Lee Harris have already been released, and they're amazing, and they're my Number 2, Wildcard. But the book that I'm most looking forward to this week.

722
01:09:11.050 --> 01:09:17.880
Tad Eggleston: and probably the one that I'm most looking forward to from the entire horizon. Experiment is finders, keepers

723
01:09:18.090 --> 01:09:21.090
Tad Eggleston: from Vita, Ayala, and Skyper, partridge.

724
01:09:21.290 --> 01:09:21.809
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I'll be.

725
01:09:21.819 --> 01:09:24.399
Tad Eggleston: Out this Wednesday? Yeah, yeah.

726
01:09:24.629 --> 01:09:27.769
Tad Eggleston: So what's your top top? Wildcard.

727
01:09:27.770 --> 01:09:32.630
Tyler Johnson: My top wild card, and I had to pick it, because this has been on my list every.

728
01:09:32.630 --> 01:09:35.020
Tad Eggleston: Turn it easy. Comics, baby.

729
01:09:35.020 --> 01:09:41.270
Tyler Johnson: Yep, is epitaphs from the abyss, from Oni, ec, I have read this like since.

730
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:42.029
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it's great.

731
01:09:42.029 --> 01:09:53.689
Tyler Johnson: Story I love. I I will read a story and then put it down because I want to absorb the little little snippet I just read, and then I'll come back, and I'll read another one, and then, you know

732
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:55.089
Tyler Johnson: oh.

733
01:09:55.490 --> 01:10:22.899
Tad Eggleston: And I can't remember if if this wound up being part of my wild card last year, too it entirely, it's entirely possible that it did. But like I spent my whole life being a Star Wars guy rather than a Star Trek guy, even though I had lots of friends who were Star Trek guys. But then one of my friends, who was a Star Trek guy, started writing Star Trek, and it's like, Well, I gotta read his comics. If I'm reading his comics I should read the ones that

734
01:10:22.900 --> 01:10:36.119
Tad Eggleston: that tie into them. And then they were really fucking good, and they had these characters that I really liked a lot. So so I've also wound up watching all of deep Space 9 this year, and

735
01:10:36.280 --> 01:10:41.429
Tad Eggleston: and I'm in the 6th season of Star Trek voyager, because.

736
01:10:41.430 --> 01:10:42.360
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

737
01:10:42.360 --> 01:10:48.140
Tad Eggleston: Because, like most of the characters between the 2 series have been between

738
01:10:48.390 --> 01:10:52.349
Tad Eggleston: voyager and deep Space 9. There's some, some that are are

739
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:56.560
Tad Eggleston: our next generation. So that will be next.

740
01:10:58.290 --> 01:10:59.860
Tyler Johnson: That's crazy. That's awesome.

741
01:11:00.030 --> 01:11:00.580
Tyler Johnson: It'd be.

742
01:11:00.580 --> 01:11:16.619
Tad Eggleston: Because I want to get to know these characters. I mean because because they're doing such great jobs with characters that they're doing. You don't have to have the background. But but I found myself wanting to have the background. So like Chris, I get it.

743
01:11:16.620 --> 01:11:17.419
Tyler Johnson: When I get into.

744
01:11:17.420 --> 01:11:22.170
Tad Eggleston: And Colin have made me into a Star Trek guy

745
01:11:23.570 --> 01:11:25.790
Tad Eggleston: which is still a little weird to me.

746
01:11:27.540 --> 01:11:35.190
Tad Eggleston: because again, you know, when we were growing up like Star Trek and Star Wars was like the Beatles and the Stones. You couldn't do both.

747
01:11:35.430 --> 01:11:37.970
Tad Eggleston: You had to pick one right.

748
01:11:37.970 --> 01:11:38.560
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

749
01:11:38.810 --> 01:11:39.740
Tad Eggleston: You remember.

750
01:11:39.740 --> 01:11:40.080
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

751
01:11:40.080 --> 01:11:42.610
Tad Eggleston: To pick one. You weren't supposed to like both.

752
01:11:43.290 --> 01:11:44.380
Tyler Johnson: I do remember that.

753
01:11:44.380 --> 01:11:45.910
Tad Eggleston: Star Wars.

754
01:11:45.910 --> 01:11:57.659
Tyler Johnson: None of my friend, none of my friends like Star Trek, and so there was a few like trekkies in our school that we kind of knew, but we never really hung out with them.

755
01:11:58.040 --> 01:11:58.780
Tad Eggleston: Right.

756
01:11:59.910 --> 01:12:01.690
Tad Eggleston: So, so, yeah.

757
01:12:01.970 --> 01:12:10.449
Tyler Johnson: So as far as Star Trek, though. Oh, I mean Horizon experiment goes. Why don't you go on to your 3 books? You hope will be spectacular.

758
01:12:10.610 --> 01:12:12.150
Tad Eggleston: Finders, keepers.

759
01:12:12.150 --> 01:12:12.690
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

760
01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:16.350
Tad Eggleston: As I just mentioned. Fml. Number 3,

761
01:12:16.660 --> 01:12:23.670
Tad Eggleston: and and it's a sign of how fucking awesome fml has been.

762
01:12:24.290 --> 01:12:32.430
Tad Eggleston: From Kelly Suzukonik, and David Lopez that it came in front of my buddy, Chris Condon, writing ultimate

763
01:12:32.650 --> 01:12:37.449
Tad Eggleston: wolverine number one, which I'm like over the moon, excited for.

764
01:12:37.450 --> 01:12:38.050
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

765
01:12:39.740 --> 01:12:42.779
Tad Eggleston: The growth, but not as much as Fml. Number 3.

766
01:12:42.780 --> 01:12:43.510
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

767
01:12:43.810 --> 01:12:45.100
Tyler Johnson: I'm super excited. You're.

768
01:12:45.100 --> 01:12:57.760
Tad Eggleston: And and and and like I left off things like you won't feel a thing, and summer shadows and

769
01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:02.140
Tad Eggleston: and Star trek lower decks, and

770
01:13:03.028 --> 01:13:06.860
Tad Eggleston: Jenny Sparks and Howell, number one.

771
01:13:07.040 --> 01:13:07.600
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that.

772
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:13.869
Tad Eggleston: Challenges the unknown number 2, you know. There's a lot of good books this week.

773
01:13:15.460 --> 01:13:21.719
Tad Eggleston: but you're about to talk about 2 more that we're, you know, I'm looking for. Yeah. So it's a good week.

774
01:13:21.940 --> 01:13:27.100
Tyler Johnson: So also, second volume of Briar comes out this week for trade waiters.

775
01:13:27.100 --> 01:13:28.310
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's true.

776
01:13:28.970 --> 01:13:33.560
Tyler Johnson: Well, you know, we never like to double up on books, but I couldn't not put it up.

777
01:13:33.560 --> 01:13:37.640
Tad Eggleston: I'm fine with doubling up on books. It just means they're awesome. Yeah.

778
01:13:37.984 --> 01:13:44.530
Tyler Johnson: Ultimate wolverine. Number one. I've been dipping my toe. I'm reading about half the ultimate books right now, and.

779
01:13:44.530 --> 01:13:54.000
Tad Eggleston: I did start reading ultimate spider-man. I read, I think, the 1st 5 or 6 issues of ultimate spider-man now. And yeah, I dig it. I dig it.

780
01:13:54.360 --> 01:13:56.429
Tyler Johnson: It's a different take for sure, you know.

781
01:13:56.430 --> 01:13:58.020
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

782
01:13:58.550 --> 01:14:06.070
Tyler Johnson: But yeah, ultimate wolverine number one. I can't wait to see what happens here Chris Condon and Alessandro cup.

783
01:14:06.250 --> 01:14:06.939
Tyler Johnson: Good booty.

784
01:14:06.940 --> 01:14:07.950
Tad Eggleston: Uchio.

785
01:14:07.950 --> 01:14:26.010
Tyler Johnson: From marvel. My second pick is minor arcana number 5 from Jeff Lemire and boom, and I was gonna go with howl number one or Batman and Robin Year one number 4, and I went with Batman and Robin Year one number 4, by Mark Wade and Chris.

786
01:14:26.010 --> 01:14:33.070
Tad Eggleston: And I'm I'm surprised the shadow of a golden crane wasn't among your possible. It's the number one Mignola book.

787
01:14:33.690 --> 01:14:37.009
Tyler Johnson: Oh, it went under my radar.

788
01:14:37.010 --> 01:14:39.279
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I see how it is.

789
01:14:39.500 --> 01:14:43.209
Tyler Johnson: I didn't know that it did I?

790
01:14:43.420 --> 01:14:44.720
Tyler Johnson: I was unaware.

791
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:51.620
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, comics continue to be awesome, which is good because

792
01:14:51.900 --> 01:14:54.310
Tad Eggleston: there's not enough awesome in the world right now.

793
01:14:54.310 --> 01:14:55.190
Tyler Johnson: Right!

794
01:14:55.780 --> 01:14:56.280
Tyler Johnson: Oh.

795
01:14:56.460 --> 01:14:58.080
Tad Eggleston: Enough, awesome.

796
01:14:58.080 --> 01:15:01.690
Tyler Johnson: Well, we we're we're gonna continue to be here putting out cool stuff.

797
01:15:02.210 --> 01:15:05.049
Tad Eggleston: Yep, yep, for as long as we're breathing.

798
01:15:05.730 --> 01:15:06.410
Tyler Johnson: That's.

799
01:15:06.410 --> 01:15:07.280
Tad Eggleston: That's the goal.

800
01:15:07.280 --> 01:15:10.500
Tyler Johnson: We're like 80, and we're like, Dad, did you read this.

801
01:15:12.460 --> 01:15:16.179
Tad Eggleston: Let's be fair. It would be Tyler. Did you read this.

802
01:15:17.785 --> 01:15:20.340
Tyler Johnson: I can't read anymore.

803
01:15:21.950 --> 01:15:22.810
Tyler Johnson: Funny.

804
01:15:22.810 --> 01:15:25.350
Tad Eggleston: Have your grandson read it to you.

805
01:15:26.790 --> 01:15:31.199
Tad Eggleston: but I can't see the art. Have him describe it.

806
01:15:33.400 --> 01:15:36.718
Tyler Johnson: Do you think I can get this in large print.

807
01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:40.739
Tad Eggleston: Use your magnifying glass.

808
01:15:41.713 --> 01:15:45.646
Tyler Johnson: We are. Gonna be those kind of crotchety old men.

809
01:15:46.040 --> 01:15:55.089
Tad Eggleston: By then they'll all be on like VR. Goggles that wire directly to our visual cortex. So you know, we'll be fine.

810
01:15:55.830 --> 01:15:56.380
Tyler Johnson: True.

811
01:15:56.580 --> 01:15:59.520
Tad Eggleston: We'll we'll blink an eye to turn the page.

812
01:16:00.330 --> 01:16:05.340
Tyler Johnson: That would be awesome left eye to go left, right eye to go.

813
01:16:05.340 --> 01:16:06.453
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

814
01:16:08.080 --> 01:16:09.359
Tyler Johnson: That would be awesome.

815
01:16:09.730 --> 01:16:14.746
Tyler Johnson: I don't know if that would be awesome, but but it does feel like it's a direction we're going.

816
01:16:15.871 --> 01:16:17.318
Tyler Johnson: I would enjoy it.

817
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:23.820
Tad Eggleston: I had a I had a kid. Show me the implants that he'd gotten.

818
01:16:24.290 --> 01:16:25.040
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

819
01:16:25.330 --> 01:16:30.039
Tad Eggleston: You know he's got a implant that that

820
01:16:31.130 --> 01:16:34.510
Tad Eggleston: he has like a key card.

821
01:16:34.830 --> 01:16:44.190
Tad Eggleston: so you can open a certain set of doors just by putting his fist to it. He's got another implant that he can use to to like trade

822
01:16:45.180 --> 01:16:47.940
Tad Eggleston: trade like his business card information

823
01:16:48.230 --> 01:16:53.070
Tad Eggleston: or like tap somebody's phone and just immediately put his contact information into it and.

824
01:16:54.170 --> 01:16:56.110
Tyler Johnson: Wow, that's really cool.

825
01:16:56.250 --> 01:17:05.730
Tad Eggleston: I don't know if it's cool or not. I didn't realize that it was a thing outside of comic books yet, so I'm still trying to like, digest it.

826
01:17:05.950 --> 01:17:09.630
Tyler Johnson: So does he need these features in his daily life?

827
01:17:10.420 --> 01:17:12.750
Tyler Johnson: Does he need them?

828
01:17:12.750 --> 01:17:13.789
Tyler Johnson: Have these implants.

829
01:17:14.060 --> 01:17:18.660
Tad Eggleston: I think he has these implants because he's like 19, and thought they would be cool.

830
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:22.850
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay, I I you yeah, special needs. I didn't.

831
01:17:22.850 --> 01:17:30.999
Tad Eggleston: I do, I do, but I don't. I don't think I don't think he needed them. I think he wanted them

832
01:17:31.120 --> 01:17:35.610
Tad Eggleston: is the impression that I got from talking to him when he was showing them to me.

833
01:17:35.610 --> 01:17:36.270
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

834
01:17:36.530 --> 01:17:37.320
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

835
01:17:37.540 --> 01:17:40.580
Tad Eggleston: When when they were showing them to me. Yeah.

836
01:17:40.580 --> 01:17:41.065
Tyler Johnson: Cool.

837
01:17:41.550 --> 01:17:42.960
Tad Eggleston: So all right.

838
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:43.370
Tyler Johnson: Nice.

839
01:17:43.370 --> 01:17:46.319
Tad Eggleston: You know the world is a weird place.

840
01:17:46.320 --> 01:17:47.049
Tyler Johnson: Very weird.

841
01:17:47.050 --> 01:17:52.189
Tad Eggleston: In some good ways. Yeah, a lot of really sad and scary ways.

842
01:17:52.190 --> 01:17:57.280
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, alright, guys, this has been fun, but I am going to go to bed.

843
01:17:58.130 --> 01:17:58.860
Tad Eggleston: But.

844
01:17:58.860 --> 01:17:59.810
Tyler Johnson: I'm gonna edit this for now.

845
01:17:59.810 --> 01:18:03.709
Tad Eggleston: You're gonna go to bed. I'm already in bed. Dude, what's wrong with you?

846
01:18:03.710 --> 01:18:11.100
Tyler Johnson: Can tell you're laying down alright, guys. Thanks for listening, and we'll catch you after the next page.

847
01:18:11.340 --> 01:18:12.170
Tyler Johnson: See ya.
