00:00:03.010 --> 00:00:15.410
Tyler Johnson: Hey, everyone welcome back to 22 panels. This is the podcast that aims to examine, explore, and elevate the medium of comics. I am Tyler, and across the interwebs

2
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.949
Tyler Johnson: from me is Tad. Hey, Tad, how are you.

3
00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:23.929
Tad Eggleston: I'm good, my 3rd podcast, of the day, 4th of the weekend.

4
00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:25.100
Tyler Johnson: Yup!

5
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:26.580
Tad Eggleston: Good readings.

6
00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:31.329
Tyler Johnson: Good readings, and and it's not like there's anything else to do right now.

7
00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:34.074
Tyler Johnson: Not really. Today.

8
00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:36.220
Tyler Johnson: I

9
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:46.129
Tyler Johnson: I have been quite busy with my little grassroots left wing group that I'm.

10
00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:55.790
Tad Eggleston: And that's fantastic, though I was making a joke because so much of the country is doing the same thing right now. We just happen not to be among them.

11
00:00:55.790 --> 00:00:56.325
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

12
00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.350
Tad Eggleston: So.

13
00:00:59.530 --> 00:01:05.959
Tyler Johnson: Much of the country right now is watching a certain program that I'm not interested in.

14
00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:07.770
Tad Eggleston: A sporting event.

15
00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:08.870
Tyler Johnson: We haven't.

16
00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:16.410
Tad Eggleston: That that is being attended by the President for the 1st time ever, which apparently did

17
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:21.600
Tad Eggleston: marvels for security and downtown traffic.

18
00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:27.019
Tyler Johnson: I bet. Well, it doesn't help that. Taylor Swift is also there.

19
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:32.099
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, I would my dream.

20
00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:50.870
Tad Eggleston: And and I haven't gotten any news alerts. So I'm assuming it didn't happen, because you know, the Nfl. Decided to get that get rid of their end racism in the end zones because he was coming. My dream was that every player on both teams would take a knee during the anthem.

21
00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:55.420
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that would have been oh, that would have been crazy.

22
00:01:55.890 --> 00:02:02.399
Tyler Johnson: I mean Colin Kaepernick, right that. Who it was.

23
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:04.850
Tad Eggleston: Was the one that started it.

24
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:06.746
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

25
00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:11.039
Tyler Johnson: I don't think I didn't watch when was kickoff.

26
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:26.670
Tad Eggleston: I think, 5 30 something like that. I paid no attention. I'm certain that I would have gotten a news alert if anything that extreme had happened. That's the only reason that I'm assuming that it didn't

27
00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:35.199
Tad Eggleston: is that, like the New York Times and the Washington Post would be going this show of defiance against President Trump.

28
00:02:35.430 --> 00:02:37.979
Tyler Johnson: Well, I can't believe they took out the.

29
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.230
Tyler Johnson: you know. Erase racism thing. Is that what it said in the end zone?

30
00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:45.149
Tyler Johnson: Just be just because he's coming, you know I.

31
00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:53.159
Tad Eggleston: I mean honestly, the end racism in the end zone was a a business decision. To begin with.

32
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.330
Tad Eggleston: And and now the business calculations have changed.

33
00:02:58.780 --> 00:02:59.410
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, true.

34
00:02:59.410 --> 00:03:01.159
Tad Eggleston: Because, as it turns out.

35
00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:08.300
Tad Eggleston: when a President of the United States wants to to target your company, it can become expensive.

36
00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:10.330
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

37
00:03:11.508 --> 00:03:15.269
Tad Eggleston: So all of these people you see rolling over for trump that I mean

38
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:29.330
Tad Eggleston: they're they're not any more or less progressive than they were when they were doing black lives matter stuff. It's just all business decisions. That's why we really shouldn't be looking to businessmen as our moral compasses.

39
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:33.920
Tad Eggleston: Certainly certainly not the decisions they make for their 1 billion dollar companies.

40
00:03:35.130 --> 00:03:36.480
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah.

41
00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:41.940
Tad Eggleston: Speaking, speaking of of of business and and

42
00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:53.540
Tad Eggleston: the the orange one a major tariff war with Canada and Mexico, our 2 closest allies, was narrowly averted.

43
00:03:55.940 --> 00:04:11.370
Tad Eggleston: a couple things I want to point out if anybody listening like isn't aware, just in case first, st the the trade deal that was so completely unfair that trump needed to renegotiate

44
00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:14.360
Tad Eggleston: was the one that he made.

45
00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:17.940
Tyler Johnson: In like what you're.

46
00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:22.479
Tad Eggleston: That was in place was the one that he made.

47
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:22.890
Tyler Johnson: You know.

48
00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:25.050
Tad Eggleston: When he tore up nafta.

49
00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:25.980
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

50
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:35.389
Tad Eggleston: And yes, there are many people who think that the deal he made was even better for Canada, Canada, and Naf, or Mexico than Nafta was, but still.

51
00:04:37.450 --> 00:04:38.730
Tyler Johnson: Right. That's what I'm saying.

52
00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:43.060
Tad Eggleston: Like so much better that you know us isn't the clear winner.

53
00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:48.590
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. But second and most important, he caved.

54
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:53.700
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah, I have neither country gave up anything.

55
00:04:54.140 --> 00:04:54.630
Tyler Johnson: No.

56
00:04:54.630 --> 00:05:08.019
Tad Eggleston: They made announcements that they were doing things that in Canada's case they also announced, announced in December that they were going to do, and in Mexico's case they had done 3 years ago.

57
00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:19.499
Tyler Johnson: Okay. So my question about Canada is, they had talked to Biden and came to the same agreement. Why hadn't they implemented it yet?

58
00:05:20.446 --> 00:05:21.590
Tad Eggleston: Because it takes time.

59
00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:22.550
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

60
00:05:23.950 --> 00:05:24.450
Tad Eggleston: Takes time.

61
00:05:24.450 --> 00:05:29.910
Tyler Johnson: That was Yup, that's all. I was wondering because I was, I was like, Okay, did they have.

62
00:05:29.910 --> 00:05:32.339
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I think they've started already. Yep.

63
00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:32.684
Tyler Johnson: Yup!

64
00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:52.710
Tad Eggleston: And I guess they I guess I guess they did agree to to implement a border Czar which one of the greatest tweet tweets I saw this week was the idea that they should. They should

65
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.269
Tad Eggleston: announce that it's a some fictional Canadian character, and see how long it takes the trump administration to figure it out.

66
00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:01.069
Tyler Johnson: God that would be hilarious.

67
00:06:01.070 --> 00:06:04.410
Tad Eggleston: Dudley Do-right is our border. Czar.

68
00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:14.549
Tyler Johnson: That would be fun and use and use a really well known character, right and.

69
00:06:16.586 --> 00:06:29.760
Tad Eggleston: But the reason that this actually has to do with comics is that china which the tariffs did go into place is where a lot of graphic novels in particular are printed, and a huge number of

70
00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:37.750
Tad Eggleston: single issue comics are printed in Canada. Yeah. And and

71
00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:49.520
Tad Eggleston: even the ones that aren't printed in Canada. A massive amount of the paper comes from Canada, or if the paper doesn't come from Canada, the wood comes from Canada

72
00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:52.620
Tad Eggleston: so like

73
00:06:54.060 --> 00:07:04.769
Tad Eggleston: it would have been a massive shoot ourselves in the foot. I love the people on the right that are going. No, no, a tariff isn't.

74
00:07:04.890 --> 00:07:15.169
Tad Eggleston: isn't isn't a tax because you can choose to buy American you can't choose to buy American coffee. There is no coffee made in America.

75
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.270
Tyler Johnson: Right.

76
00:07:16.270 --> 00:07:19.109
Tad Eggleston: Puffy beans don't grow well in America

77
00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:28.290
Tad Eggleston: it's pretty hard to choose to buy American paper, because there's not a lot of paper made in America, because

78
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:32.180
Tad Eggleston: we're already deforested and and and

79
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:44.610
Tad Eggleston: even to the extent we we aren't. We've just like we've stopped making paper because we can get it from other people at a better price, you know. So yeah, maybe sometime we'll be able to buy American paper. But like

80
00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:48.270
Tad Eggleston: somebody will have to go build the mills.

81
00:07:49.260 --> 00:07:49.880
Tyler Johnson: Right.

82
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.029
Tad Eggleston: You know. There, there aren't. There? Aren't American avocados.

83
00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.100
Tyler Johnson: No.

84
00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:10.869
Tad Eggleston: Again. Our climate just isn't conducive to growing avocados, I mean, I guess we can grow them indoors, so you know. Keep start start keeping your avocado pits so you can have your own avocado garden in your kitchen.

85
00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:15.409
Tad Eggleston: But you know what I mean.

86
00:08:16.828 --> 00:08:25.225
Tad Eggleston: It's just like the the shoot oneself in the foot of it is kind of massive

87
00:08:27.030 --> 00:08:30.759
Tad Eggleston: and and the thing is it still has real consequences.

88
00:08:31.230 --> 00:08:37.820
Tad Eggleston: So I can't say for certain that it's because of this. But 4 smaller presses.

89
00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:47.259
Tad Eggleston: you know, and not small small presses just smaller dark horse idw ablaze an alien who currently has the valiant license

90
00:08:47.470 --> 00:08:50.540
Tad Eggleston: all laid off staff this week.

91
00:08:52.570 --> 00:08:55.509
Tad Eggleston: Some of that has to do with

92
00:08:55.710 --> 00:09:09.619
Tad Eggleston: diamonds, bankruptcy, and things not going out, but a lot of it has to do with there being a massive uncertainty right now about what the cost of printing comics is going to be

93
00:09:10.470 --> 00:09:13.220
Tad Eggleston: in the next year or so.

94
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.230
Tyler Johnson: Right.

95
00:09:18.310 --> 00:09:23.209
Tad Eggleston: Because the trade war right now has only been delayed a month.

96
00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:40.519
Tad Eggleston: Now I'm hoping that the onion has it right when it says that the strategy is that he will have forgotten a month from now. I think that this is actually distinctly possible.

97
00:09:40.750 --> 00:09:45.079
Tyler Johnson: Very much, but he just throws crap out there and.

98
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.410
Tad Eggleston: Right.

99
00:09:45.410 --> 00:09:46.490
Tyler Johnson: Think about it.

100
00:09:46.490 --> 00:09:47.350
Tad Eggleston: Right.

101
00:09:50.060 --> 00:09:54.452
Tad Eggleston: Which is, I mean, terrible on so many levels. You know. I mean,

102
00:09:55.280 --> 00:10:06.750
Tad Eggleston: yeah, there's a good chance that we won't actually put troops on the ground to clear out Gaza, and that it will never become the the Riviera of the Mediterranean, you know.

103
00:10:06.890 --> 00:10:12.590
Tad Eggleston: trump Middle East, but just saying that he wants to do it.

104
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:13.110
Tyler Johnson: Right.

105
00:10:13.110 --> 00:10:16.769
Tad Eggleston: Is a massive recruiting tool for Hamas.

106
00:10:18.390 --> 00:10:19.090
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

107
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:31.820
Tad Eggleston: How much easier is it to to recruit somebody to your cause when you say, Look, if you want to continue living in the only home you've ever known. The only way to do it is to fight for it.

108
00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:42.369
Tad Eggleston: you know, and and like this, this again isn't like this hard logic.

109
00:10:44.410 --> 00:10:45.090
Tyler Johnson: Right.

110
00:10:45.930 --> 00:10:50.850
Tad Eggleston: This isn't convoluted logic to get to that, you know, they they.

111
00:10:51.280 --> 00:11:02.930
Tad Eggleston: their version of American exceptionalism, seems to also include. We are literally the only people in the world who would stand up and fight for our way of life.

112
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:11.110
Tad Eggleston: Everybody else only fights because they don't like us, and therefore they're not motivated.

113
00:11:11.780 --> 00:11:19.960
Tad Eggleston: and we can easily overwhelm them. That is the American exceptional exceptionalism viewpoint. And it's just.

114
00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:24.030
Tad Eggleston: I don't think it's true.

115
00:11:24.650 --> 00:11:25.360
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

116
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.809
Tyler Johnson: I don't think that's true.

117
00:11:27.470 --> 00:11:38.729
Tad Eggleston: I don't think we're like this special breed of humans that that care about our way of life, that much more than all the other humans on Earth.

118
00:11:39.610 --> 00:11:53.690
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, because you know, other humans on Earth haven't got to experience the joy of being a United States citizen. Once you reach that pinnacle. Okay, life becomes so golden.

119
00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:59.980
Tad Eggleston: Well, and that if that was true, then then, like

120
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.040
Tad Eggleston: we'd have.

121
00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:04.400
Tyler Johnson: Absolutely.

122
00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:09.329
Tad Eggleston: War on this soil, because when ice was going after people they would.

123
00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:16.330
Tad Eggleston: They would be like fighting tooth and nail, not to have to be going anywhere else.

124
00:12:16.330 --> 00:12:16.820
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

125
00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:19.600
Tad Eggleston: But but instead, you know, really.

126
00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:22.500
Tad Eggleston: you have a lot of immigrants that would prefer to be home.

127
00:12:23.835 --> 00:12:24.480
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

128
00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:33.379
Tad Eggleston: They're not home because home's not safe or they're not home because they need to be here to support families at home.

129
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:40.649
Tad Eggleston: or they're not home because they're they're not really citizens of that country.

130
00:12:43.030 --> 00:12:50.259
Tad Eggleston: and then they're not fighting because they feel like their their biggest hope is to not fight against the Americans.

131
00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:51.826
Tyler Johnson: I mean.

132
00:12:54.520 --> 00:13:01.899
Tad Eggleston: They just they come up with the most convoluted logic they possibly can. Which is why we'll go through our our

133
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:09.089
Tad Eggleston: final point. And I wanted to keep this more on the light side, you're aware.

134
00:13:09.270 --> 00:13:15.749
Tad Eggleston: and at some point, and maybe I'll even try to do it for these show notes. I know, I listened to a podcast. Once that actually

135
00:13:16.770 --> 00:13:22.309
Tad Eggleston: broke down. Why, government software tends to be antiquated.

136
00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:29.709
Tad Eggleston: And it's essentially because to get a software contract, you have to go through massive amounts of security hoops

137
00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:42.510
Tad Eggleston: to even be able to bid. So so, because so a new group coming in is actually very, very hard. And once you've got the software contract, you don't have the same motivation to

138
00:13:43.340 --> 00:14:00.290
Tad Eggleston: like upgrade or anything, because a it's very, very hard for somebody else to come in and replace you because you've already done the security work. B, the more you change the software, the more other security work you have to go through to be able to change the software, which means

139
00:14:00.950 --> 00:14:02.440
Tad Eggleston: the significant part.

140
00:14:02.850 --> 00:14:10.919
Tad Eggleston: A significant amount of government systems are running on cobalt.

141
00:14:11.590 --> 00:14:11.940
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

142
00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:14.170
Tad Eggleston: Are you familiar with programming.

143
00:14:14.170 --> 00:14:19.629
Tyler Johnson: I. I'm looking it up right now. I am familiar with programming. I know

144
00:14:20.250 --> 00:14:26.749
Tyler Johnson: as far as languages go. A a few little bit about.

145
00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:27.930
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

146
00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:31.350
Tad Eggleston: Cobal is ancient.

147
00:14:31.810 --> 00:14:32.530
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

148
00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:34.560
Tyler Johnson: Holy cow.

149
00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:45.760
Tad Eggleston: Cobol is ancient, and to give you an example of how fragile it can be for people that don't know it during the pandemic, when they like, massively upped

150
00:14:46.090 --> 00:14:47.490
Tad Eggleston: the is it the.

151
00:14:47.490 --> 00:14:49.380
Tyler Johnson: EOBL, not KOBL.

152
00:14:49.380 --> 00:14:50.540
Tad Eggleston: It might be.

153
00:14:50.540 --> 00:14:51.250
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

154
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:57.110
Tad Eggleston: I might have been using the the the

155
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.880
Tad Eggleston: dungeons and dragons character instead of the

156
00:15:04.450 --> 00:15:05.109
Tad Eggleston: But yeah.

157
00:15:05.110 --> 00:15:08.429
Tyler Johnson: Because it stands for common business, oriented language.

158
00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:13.599
Tad Eggleston: Right so, but, like New Jersey, put out

159
00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:24.580
Tad Eggleston: practically a red alert during the pandemic for people who knew how to program cobol when they needed to to flesh out their systems, to, to, to.

160
00:15:24.780 --> 00:15:26.210
Tad Eggleston: you know, get.

161
00:15:26.540 --> 00:15:38.960
Tad Eggleston: get unemployment payments and whatnot out. You know, there's word that even though the people at Treasury are going nuts not to let Elon's people

162
00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:45.849
Tad Eggleston: get to too much stuff. They're also actually helping them a fair amount, because their biggest fear.

163
00:15:46.950 --> 00:15:54.639
Tad Eggleston: like. Obviously, yes, they they fear what will be done with them, having like access to the wrong data, or what things they want to

164
00:15:54.740 --> 00:16:00.789
Tad Eggleston: want to cut. But their biggest fear is that they'll just accidentally crash the whole thing.

165
00:16:03.730 --> 00:16:05.700
Tad Eggleston: Possibly irreparably.

166
00:16:06.170 --> 00:16:06.940
Tyler Johnson: Right.

167
00:16:08.973 --> 00:16:11.220
Tad Eggleston: So like

168
00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:19.100
Tad Eggleston: this is so much bigger of a deal than most people are are.

169
00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:27.270
Tad Eggleston: I mean, and don't get me wrong. Most people who are talking about this at all are talking about how big of a deal it is. It is a really big deal, but.

170
00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:27.679
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, but.

171
00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:30.809
Tad Eggleston: There's also that on top of

172
00:16:31.210 --> 00:16:37.620
Tad Eggleston: the the great risks that that could come through malicious intent.

173
00:16:37.910 --> 00:16:38.290
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

174
00:16:38.290 --> 00:16:44.920
Tad Eggleston: There's a massive risk that could come from just basic user error, because the chances

175
00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:50.710
Tad Eggleston: of any 20 year old ever having programmed in cobol are slim to none.

176
00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:52.600
Tyler Johnson: True.

177
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:58.569
Tad Eggleston: Has it really been used as a programming language in their lifetimes?

178
00:17:00.420 --> 00:17:02.139
Tyler Johnson: That is not good.

179
00:17:02.770 --> 00:17:07.710
Tad Eggleston: You know what I mean? I mean, you were just looking it up. Does it give you dates?

180
00:17:08.943 --> 00:17:09.790
Tyler Johnson: No. Okay.

181
00:17:11.050 --> 00:17:12.699
Tyler Johnson: Let's see here.

182
00:17:16.190 --> 00:17:22.720
Tyler Johnson: Wikipedia says, 1st appeared in 1959.

183
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.470
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, 1959.

184
00:17:25.490 --> 00:17:26.300
Tyler Johnson: Yup.

185
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.650
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

186
00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:33.519
Tad Eggleston: And there have been stable releases as late as 2023. But I'm.

187
00:17:34.270 --> 00:17:38.049
Tyler Johnson: 2022 is what I'm finding. But yeah, it's been a long time.

188
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.709
Tad Eggleston: I'm betting that for the most part the only reason.

189
00:17:41.710 --> 00:17:42.130
Tyler Johnson: There we go!

190
00:17:42.130 --> 00:17:42.460
Tad Eggleston: Has.

191
00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:42.880
Tyler Johnson: Same here.

192
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.629
Tad Eggleston: Stable releases coming out is be

193
00:17:45.780 --> 00:17:47.890
Tad Eggleston: because it's still used in government.

194
00:17:51.090 --> 00:17:55.972
Tad Eggleston: Oh, crazy, you know.

195
00:17:58.250 --> 00:18:14.609
Tyler Johnson: You know what's sad for me. Okay, this is a little off topic. But I was out to dinner with my brother last night. My brother is a hundred percent middle of the road. Kind of guy. You know what I mean, right? He doesn't love trump, but he is definitely not a Democrat, you know. Kind of thing. But

196
00:18:15.260 --> 00:18:21.330
Tyler Johnson: he has kept his head in the sand on purpose. In the last few months he has purposely stayed off social media.

197
00:18:21.330 --> 00:18:21.910
Tad Eggleston: F.

198
00:18:21.910 --> 00:18:27.780
Tyler Johnson: Doesn't watch the news. When I was explaining to him what is going on, he just flat out. Didn't believe me.

199
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.710
Tad Eggleston: I know.

200
00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:34.429
Tyler Johnson: I. He was just like he goes that he goes. They would. That can't happen. Congress wouldn't allow that, and I said they are. They're not.

201
00:18:34.430 --> 00:18:36.630
Tad Eggleston: And we're allowing it. Yep, right.

202
00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:37.090
Tyler Johnson: I know.

203
00:18:38.290 --> 00:18:43.540
Tyler Johnson: That's what it really made me sad. I wanted to just scream. Please turn on your TV, please.

204
00:18:43.540 --> 00:18:48.329
Tad Eggleston: Or go read. Don't turn on your TV right now, because, like.

205
00:18:48.330 --> 00:18:49.320
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you're right. You're right.

206
00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:54.829
Tad Eggleston: None. None of the T. You know the pretty much. All the TV networks have have bent the knee at some level.

207
00:18:55.030 --> 00:18:55.360
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

208
00:18:58.850 --> 00:19:00.003
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it's

209
00:19:01.570 --> 00:19:14.490
Tad Eggleston: I mean, that's more extreme than a lot of what I see. What I see a lot is people that are like, I just I can't. I can't look at it. It stresses me out too much. I got to focus on things that I can do and hope that things turn out well, and it's like

210
00:19:14.850 --> 00:19:26.249
Tad Eggleston: on one level. I get that and on another level. It's like what happens when there is something that you can do, but you don't know it because you weren't paying attention. What happens when

211
00:19:27.190 --> 00:19:31.048
Tad Eggleston: maybe there isn't something that you can do. But you've got a

212
00:19:32.370 --> 00:19:39.210
Tad Eggleston: a narrow window to minimize your losses. But you don't know it because you weren't paying attention.

213
00:19:39.610 --> 00:19:40.240
Tyler Johnson: Right.

214
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.930
Tad Eggleston: You know, we both work in education and like

215
00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:51.940
Tad Eggleston: thankfully, both in states that take education seriously. So our jobs aren't in nearly the level of jeopardy.

216
00:19:52.060 --> 00:19:53.230
Tyler Johnson: But like.

217
00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:58.359
Tad Eggleston: If they gut the Department of Education the way they're talking.

218
00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.130
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

219
00:19:59.130 --> 00:20:04.029
Tad Eggleston: The primary thing that the Department of Education does is disperse. Money.

220
00:20:05.335 --> 00:20:05.820
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

221
00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:10.639
Tad Eggleston: It doesn't tell them what to teach that's done at the State and local level. It doesn't.

222
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.120
Tyler Johnson: So.

223
00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:25.169
Tad Eggleston: You know, for that matter, as much as they love to yell about common core. Blah blah. The common core was an Obama thing. Common core is what got adopted by a lot of the States. After Obama killed, no child left behind.

224
00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:26.020
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

225
00:20:26.020 --> 00:20:32.490
Tad Eggleston: The last time the Government was specifically telling the nation certain things that it had to teach

226
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.960
Tad Eggleston: was Bush's no child left behind.

227
00:20:37.010 --> 00:20:40.329
Tyler Johnson: Oh, I why, some reason I thought that was Clinton's thing.

228
00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:41.370
Tad Eggleston: No.

229
00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:49.910
Tyler Johnson: Well, anyway. Yeah, you know, what is

230
00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:59.850
Tyler Johnson: sad is that so many people think what what this is gonna mean is states get to decide for themselves on what their curriculum is going to be, and I'm like they all

231
00:20:59.850 --> 00:21:02.539
Tyler Johnson: they already do, that they already do that.

232
00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:03.080
Tad Eggleston: They already do.

233
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:06.670
Tyler Johnson: I said, what this means is, States, don't get the Federal funding.

234
00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:07.430
Tad Eggleston: Right.

235
00:21:07.430 --> 00:21:08.830
Tyler Johnson: You don't understand.

236
00:21:08.830 --> 00:21:13.049
Tad Eggleston: It means States don't get the Federal funding.

237
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:18.260
Tyler Johnson: Which for a lot of Red States means that their funding will be cut in half or more.

238
00:21:20.443 --> 00:21:23.900
Tad Eggleston: And it means there's nobody to enforce

239
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.010
Tad Eggleston: special education laws.

240
00:21:30.010 --> 00:21:30.470
Tyler Johnson: Nope.

241
00:21:30.790 --> 00:21:33.259
Tad Eggleston: There's nobody to enforce title Ix.

242
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:34.500
Tyler Johnson: Nope.

243
00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:36.760
Tad Eggleston: Or any of the, you know. So so

244
00:21:36.930 --> 00:21:46.270
Tad Eggleston: I mean, one of the things that Kelly came across. That, I think, is is really really good is like when when people say DI

245
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.880
Tad Eggleston: play dumb long enough for them to actually have to say the words.

246
00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:53.559
Tyler Johnson: Yup, I think I think if you were gonna say, you are guest id.

247
00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:54.549
Tad Eggleston: What do you have to say?

248
00:21:54.550 --> 00:21:55.170
Tad Eggleston: It's included.

249
00:21:55.170 --> 00:21:59.529
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, what do you have against inclusion? What do you have against equity?

250
00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:01.880
Tad Eggleston: What do you have against diversity?

251
00:22:03.320 --> 00:22:07.549
Tad Eggleston: If you can't answer those 3 individual questions, then shut the hell up.

252
00:22:07.830 --> 00:22:08.190
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

253
00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:13.480
Tad Eggleston: Or admit that when you are saying Dei, it's because you're not allowed to say the n word.

254
00:22:14.150 --> 00:22:15.210
Tyler Johnson: Exactly.

255
00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:26.550
Tad Eggleston: Because that's what it's coming down to is they're trying to reestablish the idea that

256
00:22:28.520 --> 00:22:32.220
Tad Eggleston: white males are inherently more qualified.

257
00:22:32.890 --> 00:22:36.069
Tad Eggleston: And then no other person could be qualified without

258
00:22:37.580 --> 00:22:41.910
Tad Eggleston: somebody giving them some sort of leg up.

259
00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.070
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

260
00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:47.619
Tad Eggleston: Which is just, yeah.

261
00:22:47.790 --> 00:22:49.210
Tyler Johnson: So let's.

262
00:22:49.430 --> 00:22:52.759
Tad Eggleston: Let's talk some new comic series because we got some fun ones.

263
00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:54.780
Tyler Johnson: We do.

264
00:22:54.780 --> 00:22:56.390
Tad Eggleston: I get to lead off.

265
00:22:56.390 --> 00:23:01.090
Tyler Johnson: I was gonna do one of the Godzilla ones, but I decided to wait on those.

266
00:23:01.390 --> 00:23:07.889
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Well, I mean, I think I think when we do them. The reason the reason I did the A through F

267
00:23:08.300 --> 00:23:12.530
Tad Eggleston: is is the the marvel one should all be done together.

268
00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:17.620
Tyler Johnson: And I don't even know if we know what the last 2 are. We just know that there's going to be 6,

269
00:23:18.250 --> 00:23:22.760
Tyler Johnson: mom, that's why, yeah, that was another reason I'm hanging out of the way.

270
00:23:22.760 --> 00:23:33.030
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, but I don't know if we'll know before the end of the month we we should check when we decide to do them, to see if anything's been announced. But I did go like digging digging before.

271
00:23:33.260 --> 00:23:39.650
Tad Eggleston: but that was a couple weeks ago. So who knows but, anyway, Ironheart, bad chemistry

272
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.909
Tad Eggleston: from John Jennings and Jethro Morales at Marvel

273
00:23:45.830 --> 00:24:00.370
Tad Eggleston: a Nemesis returns, sending shockwaves through Riri's world. She's already attacked Chicago once and made off with the valuable artifact from the dusable Black History Museum. Now the alchemical transformer.

274
00:24:00.690 --> 00:24:03.889
Tad Eggleston: MKEK. HEM.

275
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:23.260
Tad Eggleston: Is back for another bite of Iron Heights City, and this time she's not alone. What is Kim's connection to the classic iron man, villain? And can Riri stop her before all of Chicago, Burns, Hugo and Eisner winning writer, John Jennings, teams up with an all-star artist.

276
00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:32.349
Tad Eggleston: Jethro Morales for action-packed flurry of blows in the Windy City in stores on April second.

277
00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:36.379
Tad Eggleston: I love me some Chicago. I love me, some Riri Williams.

278
00:24:37.320 --> 00:24:40.750
Tad Eggleston: If you left the Chicago area, where would you like to live?

279
00:24:44.570 --> 00:24:47.490
Tad Eggleston: California, Minnesota.

280
00:24:50.510 --> 00:25:00.690
Tad Eggleston: Costa, Rica, Mexico, Iceland, or Norway, maybe Australia depends on, whether I'm leaving the Chicago area or leaving.

281
00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:05.690
Tyler Johnson: The country. Exactly. My wife, possibly possibly the northeast.

282
00:25:05.930 --> 00:25:14.209
Tad Eggleston: I could see I could see parts of New York or Massachusetts, maybe Connecticut, maybe Rhode Island

283
00:25:16.230 --> 00:25:19.130
Tad Eggleston: But the Chicago area is mostly good to me.

284
00:25:19.340 --> 00:25:19.670
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

285
00:25:19.670 --> 00:25:24.799
Tad Eggleston: So I think there's a really good chance that, barring leaving the country, or

286
00:25:25.330 --> 00:25:29.269
Tad Eggleston: either Kelly or I getting an unbelievable job offer

287
00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:34.130
Tad Eggleston: we'd be likely to stay here.

288
00:25:34.390 --> 00:25:45.310
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, same, we're we're not gonna leave Minnesota unless, like you said those extremes like, if we and we're looking at some places in Europe, too, of, you know.

289
00:25:45.690 --> 00:25:49.650
Tad Eggleston: Actually for me. Honestly, Costa Rica is my top.

290
00:25:50.950 --> 00:25:51.600
Tyler Johnson: Hmm.

291
00:25:51.600 --> 00:26:02.110
Tad Eggleston: Low cost of living, good, good, universal health, care, and education, and you can essentially buy your permanent residency.

292
00:26:02.550 --> 00:26:03.760
Tad Eggleston: and then.

389
00:41:25.377 --> 00:41:32.610
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I was a very big fan of this.

390
00:41:32.610 --> 00:41:33.470
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

391
00:41:33.470 --> 00:41:38.409

Tad Eggleston: reading the originals and.

393
00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:58.079
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Well, just on this cover alone I love how it's divided, right? So you've got this really deep sketched out middle section of his face and the top portion. It looks like kind of a crayon drawing, and the bottom section is, you know, more of a simple line. It's really cool.

394
00:41:58.080 --> 00:42:01.320
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. And I'm pretty certain that we're actually looking at.

395
00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:10.799
Tad Eggleston: The top is Mazzicelli, the middle is Matati, and the bottom is Karasic.

396
00:42:11.020 --> 00:42:11.490
Tyler Johnson: Yo.

397
00:42:13.680 --> 00:42:14.760
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah.

398
00:42:14.930 --> 00:42:16.839
Tyler Johnson: Very very good stuff.

399
00:42:16.990 --> 00:42:19.470
Tad Eggleston: And way up your alley.

400
00:42:21.430 --> 00:42:27.690

402
00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:43.020

Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences. Far too late.

406
00:43:21.270 --> 00:43:47.020
Tyler Johnson: at some point in their life cycle 3 and 4 of these genetic duplicates transform into some psychologically unstable killing machines known as dupes. Unfortunately, the United States, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in the containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the inevitable task of hunting dupes before their violence can spread

407
00:43:47.330 --> 00:43:59.339
Tyler Johnson: to the Government. They are the duplicate identification and capture division to everyone else. They are the skin police, the worst part of their job. It's always the one you least suspect.

408
00:43:59.750 --> 00:44:06.380
Tyler Johnson: This looks gross, and it's in stores. August 13.th This is again right up my alley. I can't wait.

409
00:44:06.380 --> 00:44:10.729

410
00:44:10.730 --> 00:44:11.420
Tyler Johnson: Going to read it.

411
00:44:11.420 --> 00:44:13.620

413
00:44:15.410 --> 00:44:22.099

00:59:24.640 --> 00:59:30.229
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I'm looking at it. Going. That's Marker. That's a crazy cover. Okay.

550
00:59:30.820 --> 00:59:33.990
Tad Eggleston: I think that's what she uses for her art in general.

551
00:59:35.090 --> 00:59:36.149
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Well.

552
00:59:36.500 --> 00:59:43.360
Tad Eggleston: Fanagraphics will also often do comics from people who do unique styles.

553
00:59:43.540 --> 00:59:44.960
Tyler Johnson: Yep, I love it, I love it.

554
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:45.830
Tad Eggleston: I do, too.

555
00:59:46.120 --> 00:59:51.700
Tad Eggleston: And then the Hardcover deluxe edition of Superman up in the sky

556
00:59:52.456 --> 00:59:55.930
Tad Eggleston: which which reminded me that we can choose hope.

557
00:59:56.110 --> 00:59:59.170
Tad Eggleston: even in the spite of all evidence.

558
00:59:59.330 --> 01:00:20.770
Tad Eggleston: some Kickstarters out there right now, Idragon trilogy from from Juan Jimenez, I think, available in English, possibly for the 1st time. It's already way past its goal. So pledging now would just mean that you know that you're getting the book, and it's going through February 12.th

559
01:00:21.090 --> 01:00:25.150
Tad Eggleston: Also way past. Its goal is California, Inc.

Tad Eggleston: Greg Burnham, and with with

564
01:01:00.030 --> 01:01:07.710
Tad Eggleston: I just. It was like on the tip of my tongue. I was looking at bridges. I almost said, Greg Bridges, I'm like that's not right, Greg Burnham.

565
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:11.999
Tad Eggleston: Go listen to to our talk about it even also

567
01:01:17.120 --> 01:01:25.710
Tad Eggleston: co-created by Leo Stevens. This looks cool. Greg does great work, and and it's a modest goal that they're about

568
01:01:26.410 --> 01:01:33.290
Tad Eggleston: 75% of the way to something like that. So go go back. Bridges. Issue one

569
01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:38.140
Tad Eggleston: sometime in the next 6 days before February 16.th

Tad Eggleston: they are also available. So lots of good options at reasonable prices.

574
01:02:01.510 --> 01:02:03.949
Tyler Johnson: Always punch nazis.

575
01:02:04.450 --> 01:02:12.939
Tad Eggleston: Project that collects all 3 anti-nazi anthologies that changed the face of an industry I don't really know which industry they changed the face of but

581
01:02:52.440 --> 01:03:02.430
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, that's that's a rundown of things that people should be looking for God. We keep getting longer with that part, but I feel like it's in.

582
01:03:02.430 --> 01:03:07.879
Tyler Johnson: I was just gonna say that that was a big portion of the episode. So far.

583
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.359
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

584
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:10.850
Tyler Johnson: Now.

585
01:03:10.850 --> 01:03:18.239
Tad Eggleston: We'll have to. Yeah, we'll have to debate whether whether or not we want to try to cut that down or not. I go back and forth.

586
01:03:18.460 --> 01:03:25.009
Tad Eggleston: There's so many good books out there, and like, I want to manage to talk about as many as possible.

587
01:03:25.240 --> 01:03:26.490
Tad Eggleston: but at the same time.

588
01:03:27.510 --> 01:03:31.029
Tyler Johnson: My opinion, is to keep the

589
01:03:31.180 --> 01:03:41.959
Tyler Johnson: the new issues and the new, the new series and the graphic novels. I feel like the the trade paperbacks are kind of redundant about. You know what I mean.

590
01:03:42.650 --> 01:03:47.319
Tad Eggleston: They are, except that there are so many people that wait for the trades.

591
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:48.749
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you're right.

592
01:03:49.890 --> 01:03:51.230
Tyler Johnson: I'm just think, yeah, here, I.

593
01:03:51.230 --> 01:03:52.970
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Do you know.

594
01:03:53.290 --> 01:04:06.530
Tad Eggleston: I mean, that's the entire. I mean, I generally put the same rule on the trades that I do. With some exceptions. I mean, we've got Survival Street Volume 2 on our list, but but I generally use the same rules with trades that I use for

595
01:04:06.970 --> 01:04:11.280
Tad Eggleston: for series where it's like only volume ones, you know.

596
01:04:11.640 --> 01:04:12.295
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

597
01:04:14.210 --> 01:04:20.290
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, are you still putting chapters in? So people can skip stuff.

598
01:04:21.070 --> 01:04:24.819
Tyler Johnson: I haven't lately, so I had to get back to that.

599
01:04:25.230 --> 01:04:28.719
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Cause then people can go. Yeah, I don't want to hear about this.

600
01:04:31.620 --> 01:04:40.010
Tyler Johnson: What you love this week. They loved it all seasons number one, and I don't know if this came out this week or last week, but it hit my show.

601
01:04:40.010 --> 01:04:43.790
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no welcome to the diamond world, and like.

602
01:04:44.980 --> 01:04:48.579
Tad Eggleston: when books come out, is inconsistent.

603
01:04:48.580 --> 01:04:55.769
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. So seasons is a new book by Rick Remender. And who else is on this call?

604
01:04:55.770 --> 01:04:56.670
Tad Eggleston: And.

605
01:04:56.670 --> 01:04:57.760
Tyler Johnson: How does this Sita?

606
01:04:57.760 --> 01:04:59.670
Tad Eggleston: Ts. Lopez on color.

607
01:05:00.030 --> 01:05:01.694
Tyler Johnson: It was really cool.

608
01:05:03.350 --> 01:05:04.750
Tyler Johnson: It was.

609
01:05:06.040 --> 01:05:08.219
Tad Eggleston: Tell me about it, because I haven't actually read it yet.

610
01:05:08.610 --> 01:05:35.820
Tyler Johnson: It's a couple detectives, and, you know, like, 10 years ago, their famous parents like disappeared, and they have to raise themselves, their sisters. So they kind of remind me of the the Santos sisters. Right? Okay, but not, but not silly like that, you know. So the younger sister is is spring, and she is the the last hope of saving them from their death. Kind of thing.

611
01:05:36.120 --> 01:05:37.040
Tad Eggleston: Gotcha.

612
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:38.470
Tyler Johnson: I like that.

613
01:05:38.470 --> 01:05:39.220
Tad Eggleston: It out!

614
01:05:39.220 --> 01:05:45.329
Tyler Johnson: I liked it. It's fun. And my second choice was

615
01:05:45.730 --> 01:05:50.379
Tyler Johnson: I missed my thing here, teenage, mutant, ninja turtles, number 6.

616
01:05:50.380 --> 01:05:53.290
Tad Eggleston: Still still loving your errand on turtles.

617
01:05:53.560 --> 01:06:11.329
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, since he's taken over, it is taking a different direction, and I love it. That they started out with the turtles apart, and then they've had to come together. Now in issue 6, we finally have all 4. Well, this is the second issue that we have all 4 turtles together.

618
01:06:11.470 --> 01:06:12.550
Tyler Johnson: but it didn't.

619
01:06:12.550 --> 01:06:15.149
Tad Eggleston: Casey Jones come in in the last one.

620
01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:15.730
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

621
01:06:15.730 --> 01:06:19.209
Tad Eggleston: So, so you still had a character. Add.

622
01:06:19.430 --> 01:06:21.012
Tyler Johnson: Yup, and then

623
01:06:21.540 --> 01:06:25.090
Tad Eggleston: I think this is the 1st one with the series. Artist, isn't it?

624
01:06:25.490 --> 01:06:26.690
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, one for.

625
01:06:26.690 --> 01:06:31.959
Tad Eggleston: 1st the 1st 5 had guest artists, and this this will be the series, artists for a while.

626
01:06:32.150 --> 01:06:34.949
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I can't pronounce his last name, fairy.

627
01:06:34.950 --> 01:06:35.740
Tad Eggleston: It's.

628
01:06:35.740 --> 01:06:36.130
Tyler Johnson: Thank you.

629
01:06:36.620 --> 01:06:37.960
Tad Eggleston: For Raya.

630
01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:40.060
Tyler Johnson: Ferrera Ferrera.

631
01:06:40.330 --> 01:06:50.880
Tyler Johnson: Okay, anyway, moving on to names, I probably can pronounce. Jed Mckay and Netho Diaz are on X-men number 10.

632
01:06:51.662 --> 01:07:00.450
Tyler Johnson: This is really great storyline where they, the the X mansion. Xavier's mansion, has been turned into a prison.

633
01:07:00.550 --> 01:07:06.250
Tyler Johnson: And and yeah, the X-men have to escape the mansion.

634
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:08.969
Tyler Johnson: It's kind of fun. Oh.

635
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:10.690
Tad Eggleston: So.

636
01:07:10.690 --> 01:07:11.480
Tyler Johnson: Starting to hurt.

637
01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:18.349
Tad Eggleston: My top was far and away. Living hell number 3 from Caitlin Yarsky at Dark Horse.

638
01:07:18.350 --> 01:07:18.940
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

639
01:07:19.220 --> 01:07:22.580
Tad Eggleston: You know this is this is the the daughter of a demon

640
01:07:22.860 --> 01:07:30.449
Tad Eggleston: who's also like the the demon hunter he has to like. Go take down demons that get out of line kind of

641
01:07:30.450 --> 01:07:30.950
Tad Eggleston: what?

642
01:07:32.241 --> 01:07:36.310
Tad Eggleston: Out of line by demon standards, not

643
01:07:36.520 --> 01:07:44.210
Tad Eggleston: human standards. So in some ways it's like he has to go take down the demons who are living just ordinary lives.

644
01:07:46.720 --> 01:07:50.789
Tad Eggleston: But it's so good

645
01:07:51.750 --> 01:07:58.580
Tad Eggleston: because I mean it centers on the daughter relationship with her dad and her mom and her best friend.

646
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:00.849
Tad Eggleston: and just so so.

647
01:08:00.850 --> 01:08:02.589
Tyler Johnson: Caitlin's really great like with.

648
01:08:02.590 --> 01:08:04.829
Tad Eggleston: Oh, Caitlin's storytelling is amazing.

649
01:08:06.930 --> 01:08:07.600
Tad Eggleston: So.

650
01:08:07.600 --> 01:08:09.959
Tyler Johnson: I I gotta jump on that bandwagon.

651
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:19.790
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, speaking of amazing storytelling galaxy of madness. Number 6, we're starting our

652
01:08:20.010 --> 01:08:48.209
Tad Eggleston: kind of second arc. It's really all an arc. But but the volume. One was Issues one through 5, and this definitely marked a turning point issue as well as a new artist. Michael Avon Oming had done duties for the 1st 5, and at least for this issue. It was Victor Santos, Victor, and Michael have worked together on books, so I assume that, like it was planned from the get go. They've got similar styles. And Magdalene versaggio's

653
01:08:48.370 --> 01:08:52.209
Tad Eggleston: like sci-fi family story is just fantastic. I'm loving.

654
01:08:52.210 --> 01:08:52.670
Tyler Johnson: This book.

655
01:08:53.350 --> 01:09:10.320
Tad Eggleston: And then in that list of books that I never thought I'd like until I finally started doing horror and comics and went. Oh, I can do horror and comics. Exorcism is 1,600 pen. Yeah, which imagines like

656
01:09:10.660 --> 01:09:20.150
Tad Eggleston: the 1st female president, but with like high school age kids.

657
01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:23.240
Tyler Johnson: And and and one of them.

658
01:09:26.790 --> 01:09:30.330
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I don't want to give away too much, but essentially

659
01:09:31.290 --> 01:09:45.049
Tad Eggleston: one of them is going through some serious issues, and there are some people who think that she's possessed by a demon. And there are some people that think that she's suffering Havana syndrome. The the thing that a lot of our embassies have gone through.

660
01:09:45.819 --> 01:09:52.770
Tad Eggleston: So there's all sorts of family dynamics and and political dynamics and

661
01:09:56.550 --> 01:10:03.719
Tad Eggleston: teenage dynamics all going on at once in a beautiful, amazing way. I'm really liking this book.

662
01:10:03.860 --> 01:10:07.923
Tad Eggleston: Exorcism at 1,610 from

663
01:10:09.170 --> 01:10:16.079
Tad Eggleston: Hannah, Hannah Rose May and Vanessa del Rey at Idw.

664
01:10:16.080 --> 01:10:18.269
Tyler Johnson: It's on my pile right here.

665
01:10:18.270 --> 01:10:19.185
Tad Eggleston: I believe it.

666
01:10:19.490 --> 01:10:34.929
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's just been a crazy week for reading. And I put together a group of like-minded individuals last week and that's been taking up so much of my time this week.

667
01:10:34.930 --> 01:10:35.700
Tad Eggleston: Right.

668
01:10:35.700 --> 01:10:40.080
Tyler Johnson: By that I mean a small get together of people that

669
01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:43.070
Tyler Johnson: don't like our political climate. You know.

670
01:10:43.070 --> 01:10:46.070
Tad Eggleston: Well, not that small. You said. How many people did you have? There.

671
01:10:46.450 --> 01:10:50.630
Tyler Johnson: Well, okay, we, we, our Facebook group is up to 60.

672
01:10:51.020 --> 01:10:55.559
Tyler Johnson: Hi, 1010 people showed up for the for the In person. Meet up this on thing.

673
01:10:55.560 --> 01:10:57.960
Tyler Johnson: and and how many people live in Laverne?

674
01:10:58.430 --> 01:10:59.459
Tyler Johnson: 5,000.

675
01:10:59.740 --> 01:11:05.029
Tad Eggleston: Right? So I mean for for a brand new thing that's like.

676
01:11:06.080 --> 01:11:06.780
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

677
01:11:07.030 --> 01:11:15.689
Tad Eggleston: Had as many people show up for your in person, meet up, meet up, as are likely listening to this podcast.

678
01:11:15.690 --> 01:11:24.842
Tyler Johnson: So we're excited. My, my wife is helping administer the the Facebook page because I'm really bad about social media. But

679
01:11:25.710 --> 01:11:28.790
Tyler Johnson: so that's exciting. We're hoping

680
01:11:28.990 --> 01:11:44.049
Tyler Johnson: to make it to our city council meetings. Start going to school board things. You know the different kinds of things that are coming up that we can do at a local level to put some sand in the gears of the crap that's going on, you know.

681
01:11:44.050 --> 01:11:45.880
Tad Eggleston: Oh, God, yeah.

682
01:11:46.490 --> 01:11:46.810
Tyler Johnson: So.

683
01:11:46.810 --> 01:11:48.420
Tad Eggleston: My point is about the.

684
01:11:49.290 --> 01:11:50.470
Tyler Johnson: Back to the point.

685
01:11:50.470 --> 01:11:55.850
Tyler Johnson: Didn't get as much reading done. I only made it to 3 91. Where are you.

686
01:11:55.850 --> 01:11:56.590
Tad Eggleston: Well.

687
01:11:56.590 --> 01:11:56.980
Tyler Johnson: Way, up.

688
01:11:56.980 --> 01:12:01.530
Tad Eggleston: I mean particularly because, you know, we had what 400 pages of concrete to read.

689
01:12:01.740 --> 01:12:02.410
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

690
01:12:02.530 --> 01:12:03.270
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

691
01:12:04.048 --> 01:12:10.419
Tad Eggleston: So I mean, we we gave ourselves heavy reading this week. But yeah, I actually hadn't.

692
01:12:10.750 --> 01:12:13.450
Tad Eggleston: If we had recorded yesterday.

693
01:12:15.610 --> 01:12:18.850
Tad Eggleston: I hadn't read any one piece yet.

694
01:12:19.610 --> 01:12:20.150
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

695
01:12:20.150 --> 01:12:24.130
Tad Eggleston: Because of getting ready for book clubs and getting ready, because, like

696
01:12:24.310 --> 01:12:39.429
Tad Eggleston: you had all the same similar reading as I did for this episode, but I also had to get ready to talk about Charlie Brown and I had to get ready to talk about love and rockets, and I had to get ready to talk about Jack Kirby's 4th World. So

697
01:12:39.730 --> 01:12:43.375
Tad Eggleston: I was doing a lot of different reading this week.

698
01:12:44.740 --> 01:12:48.669
Tad Eggleston: And it was all great reading, but all over the place. But like.

699
01:12:49.340 --> 01:12:57.660
Tad Eggleston: I decided that rather than diving deeper into Charlie Brown between between the Kirby and and

700
01:12:58.350 --> 01:13:07.689
Tad Eggleston: and Charlie Brown Podcasts, that I was just gonna see how much one piece I could get done, and I essentially got a volume done there.

701
01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:08.650
Tad Eggleston: and.

702
01:13:08.650 --> 01:13:09.030
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

703
01:13:09.030 --> 01:13:18.899
Tad Eggleston: And when we decided to actually eat dinner before we recorded this, I'm like, Oh, I'll keep reading one piece, because, like Volume 41 ended on a hell of a cliffhanger.

704
01:13:20.190 --> 01:13:30.050
Tad Eggleston: As it turns out, Volume 42 ended on even a bigger cliffhanger, which is why I will probably be going back to reading one piece

705
01:13:30.370 --> 01:13:39.280
Tad Eggleston: in 15 min, half an hour, when you know I kind of want to finish up

706
01:13:40.030 --> 01:13:45.959
Tad Eggleston: the time at at a what is it? No station.

707
01:13:47.740 --> 01:13:48.930
Tad Eggleston: Know what I'm talking about.

708
01:13:49.140 --> 01:13:51.749
Tyler Johnson: You know. I'm looking for it right now.

709
01:13:51.750 --> 01:14:05.819
Tad Eggleston: We're we're we're luffy has gone full on full on madman, right in his quest to save Nico Robin.

710
01:14:06.362 --> 01:14:08.900
Tyler Johnson: Where we finally got her backstory.

711
01:14:09.020 --> 01:14:10.800
Tad Eggleston: And it's heartbreaking.

712
01:14:11.190 --> 01:14:12.579
Tyler Johnson: They always are.

713
01:14:12.580 --> 01:14:20.430
Tad Eggleston: As I somewhat expected it to be. And now I that much more want Luffy to to to prevail.

714
01:14:20.860 --> 01:14:26.560
Tad Eggleston: I didn't think, and we're starting to get a picture of the world government.

715
01:14:27.070 --> 01:14:37.069
Tad Eggleston: and how it might not be, might not be that good.

716
01:14:37.630 --> 01:14:38.330
Tyler Johnson: Right.

717
01:14:40.530 --> 01:14:52.740
Tad Eggleston: So this has been kind of a defining arc of one piece, not just the characters, but but like we're getting this much, much deeper view of the world, that they.

718
01:14:52.740 --> 01:14:53.690
Tyler Johnson: The world.

719
01:14:53.790 --> 01:14:57.436
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you know, I was just gonna say, when you're talking about

720
01:14:58.390 --> 01:15:01.930
Tad Eggleston: Oh, what's the character? Luffy is rescuing something. Robin? What's her name?

721
01:15:01.930 --> 01:15:02.869
Tad Eggleston: Go, Robin.

722
01:15:02.870 --> 01:15:13.090
Tyler Johnson: Nico Robin. Right? The writer. He can really write women because she's not the only character that we've gone. Oh, man, we have to.

723
01:15:13.090 --> 01:15:16.010
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no. We had issues with Nami for a while.

724
01:15:16.010 --> 01:15:16.780
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

725
01:15:17.790 --> 01:15:18.460
Tyler Johnson: I think you.

726
01:15:18.460 --> 01:15:19.150
Tad Eggleston: We've had.

727
01:15:19.150 --> 01:15:19.570
Tyler Johnson: Issues.

728
01:15:19.570 --> 01:15:23.800
Tad Eggleston: Almost all. I mean, we've had issues with almost all of his crew

729
01:15:24.310 --> 01:15:25.940
Tad Eggleston: until we get to know them.

730
01:15:26.790 --> 01:15:31.280
Tad Eggleston: You know. It took took us time to to be okay

731
01:15:31.740 --> 01:15:36.479
Tad Eggleston: with Zolo. I think Chopper was the one that we warmed up to the fastest.

732
01:15:39.020 --> 01:15:43.540
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it's it's such a good book.

733
01:15:43.850 --> 01:15:46.649
Tyler Johnson: It is. Yeah, it's a good book.

734
01:15:46.650 --> 01:15:51.782
Tyler Johnson: I am starting to get into one piece. Pop culture stuff.

735
01:15:52.270 --> 01:15:52.700
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

736
01:15:52.700 --> 01:15:53.540
Tyler Johnson: You know, like it's.

737
01:15:53.540 --> 01:15:55.029
Tad Eggleston: Which I haven't much.

738
01:15:55.030 --> 01:15:58.710
Tyler Johnson: No like a T-shirt here, and I think you know.

739
01:15:59.480 --> 01:16:07.789
Tad Eggleston: And in fact, I was. I was really glad when I went searching for action figures that I didn't find a clear line of

740
01:16:07.970 --> 01:16:12.610
Tad Eggleston: like 3.7 5 inch posables.

741
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:16.390
Tad Eggleston: because that's that's my, that's my jam. I like the.

742
01:16:16.390 --> 01:16:17.860
Tyler Johnson: Go to size.

743
01:16:18.040 --> 01:16:22.069
Tad Eggleston: Like for the 4 inch, the the 3 to 4 inch.

744
01:16:22.190 --> 01:16:28.820
Tad Eggleston: Essentially. I describe it as if it won't. If it can't pilot my millennium, falcon, it's too.

745
01:16:28.820 --> 01:16:30.710
Tyler Johnson: Big, watery, and.

746
01:16:30.710 --> 01:16:34.140
Tad Eggleston: I do some 6 inches, both Marvel and

747
01:16:34.901 --> 01:16:43.579
Tad Eggleston: Star Wars, but the ones that I care the most about are ones that I can plop, plop into the cockpit of my millennium falcon, and right.

748
01:16:43.580 --> 01:16:44.260
Tyler Johnson: Because.

749
01:16:44.685 --> 01:16:47.660
Tad Eggleston: Cross over Star Wars with with whatever.

750
01:16:47.660 --> 01:16:54.000
Tyler Johnson: Kenner toys. Those old Kenner Star Wars toys were tiny. I mean, they were not tiny. That's like the.

751
01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:55.439
Tad Eggleston: Perfect size to me, though.

752
01:16:55.610 --> 01:16:57.660
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's like the perfect size.

753
01:16:57.660 --> 01:17:04.320
Tyler Johnson: I had some of those. Yeah, they were hand-me-downs for my older cousin, and I didn't realize how important they were.

754
01:17:04.320 --> 01:17:08.029
Tad Eggleston: I may have bought 3 of them this weekend new one.

755
01:17:08.030 --> 01:17:08.610
Tyler Johnson: None.

756
01:17:08.610 --> 01:17:16.997
Tad Eggleston: Old ones. Yeah, a Darth mall and a Boko haram and

757
01:17:19.410 --> 01:17:23.580
Tad Eggleston: I can't remember the name of the character that that.

758
01:17:24.530 --> 01:17:30.970
Tad Eggleston: And actually, I can see the actor now, but I can't, can't remember.

759
01:17:32.700 --> 01:17:40.929
Tad Eggleston: Either either the character or his name. But I can. Yeah. Giancarlo Esposito, who did he play? And

760
01:17:42.380 --> 01:17:43.499
Tyler Johnson: That is but.

761
01:17:44.100 --> 01:17:48.369
Tad Eggleston: He played play. It was. I think it was Moff Gideon. Does that sound right?

762
01:17:48.370 --> 01:17:52.189
Tyler Johnson: The no, he had the black blade. Right? Yeah. And

763
01:17:53.090 --> 01:17:58.930
Tyler Johnson: yeah. And it's moff something, but not Gideon. Maybe.

764
01:17:58.930 --> 01:18:00.800
Tad Eggleston: It is. I'm gonna I'm gonna like.

765
01:18:02.140 --> 01:18:04.110
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's is.

766
01:18:04.110 --> 01:18:07.180
Tad Eggleston: It is Moff Gideon. It is Moff, Canadian.

767
01:18:07.330 --> 01:18:08.210
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

768
01:18:08.950 --> 01:18:11.830
Tad Eggleston: There was a 2 pack of him and Boko Haram.

769
01:18:12.060 --> 01:18:20.020
Tad Eggleston: and and there was a Darth maul that looked cool, and they were all on clearance at at

770
01:18:20.440 --> 01:18:33.439
Tad Eggleston: Walmart, and and so I wound up with with 3 new action figures. This is not like an uncommon occurrence in our house, and doesn't always require them being on clearance.

771
01:18:35.470 --> 01:18:36.510
Tyler Johnson: Right.

772
01:18:37.630 --> 01:18:43.240
Tad Eggleston: Kelly always jokes that like as we're checking out. I bet they think we have kids.

773
01:18:49.240 --> 01:18:51.210
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, if if.

774
01:18:51.210 --> 01:18:51.890
Tyler Johnson: Do.

775
01:18:52.050 --> 01:18:59.639
Tad Eggleston: If I found a a set of one piece characters in that size, it would be.

776
01:18:59.640 --> 01:18:59.960
Tyler Johnson: Thank you.

777
01:18:59.960 --> 01:19:01.430
Tad Eggleston: Irish, but.

778
01:19:01.430 --> 01:19:02.410
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I agree.

779
01:19:02.410 --> 01:19:09.910
Tad Eggleston: Only ones that I found in that size are like statue type character, and I don't want the ones that I can't move.

780
01:19:10.990 --> 01:19:12.950
Tyler Johnson: You want an action figure? Yeah.

781
01:19:12.950 --> 01:19:16.310
Tad Eggleston: I want an action figure, not a model.

782
01:19:16.310 --> 01:19:18.499
Tyler Johnson: Not a not at all. Yeah.

783
01:19:18.500 --> 01:19:20.099
Tad Eggleston: I gotta be able to play with it.

784
01:19:21.280 --> 01:19:22.690
Tad Eggleston: Gotta be able to fidget with it.

785
01:19:23.330 --> 01:19:24.639
Tyler Johnson: I am sitting here. I'm.

786
01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:28.279
Tad Eggleston: So you're a toy, guy. Keep your eyes open. That's what I want.

787
01:19:28.560 --> 01:19:33.539
Tyler Johnson: Okay, I have. I have this full set of wolverines here. I don't know if you can see them.

788
01:19:33.540 --> 01:19:40.540
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, no, you're the Pop guy, but you keep them all in the boxes. I don't. I don't get that. I need to be able to move the arms.

789
01:19:40.940 --> 01:19:44.320
Tad Eggleston: That's actually my problem with Pops is there's no arms to move.

790
01:19:45.210 --> 01:19:47.470
Tyler Johnson: There's not. I gotta be able to have.

791
01:19:47.470 --> 01:19:49.530
Tad Eggleston: And legs. I need them as.

792
01:19:49.530 --> 01:19:52.609
Tyler Johnson: Marvel ones are bobble Bobbleheads, you know.

793
01:19:52.610 --> 01:19:54.340
Tad Eggleston: Right, which I mean. It's.

794
01:19:54.340 --> 01:19:54.680
Tyler Johnson: So.

795
01:19:54.680 --> 01:20:02.509
Tad Eggleston: Better, but I still just don't care. I want them as like real fidgets, and or I want to be able to like act out scenes with them.

796
01:20:05.100 --> 01:20:06.019
Tad Eggleston: You know the scene.

797
01:20:06.020 --> 01:20:07.490
Tyler Johnson: And spaceballs.

798
01:20:08.420 --> 01:20:09.999
Tyler Johnson: Yep, yep! Where are you?

799
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:10.450
Tad Eggleston: No.

800
01:20:10.450 --> 01:20:11.060
Tyler Johnson: I didn't mean to.

801
01:20:11.060 --> 01:20:11.730
Tad Eggleston: Playing with your.

802
01:20:11.730 --> 01:20:12.830
Tyler Johnson: Your dolls again.

803
01:20:15.700 --> 01:20:16.740
Tyler Johnson: We meet years.

804
01:20:17.170 --> 01:20:20.290
Tad Eggleston: Totally me totally me.

805
01:20:20.290 --> 01:20:22.020
Tad Eggleston: So that's fun!

806
01:20:22.020 --> 01:20:22.610
Tyler Johnson: That.

807
01:20:22.610 --> 01:20:24.700
Tyler Johnson: Well, I'm getting Paul Chadwick.

808
01:20:24.700 --> 01:20:26.280
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

809
01:20:26.280 --> 01:20:26.960
Tad Eggleston: Have you

810
01:20:27.630 --> 01:20:30.049
Tad Eggleston: Had you read any before? Is the 1st question.

811
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:31.260
Tyler Johnson: Boom.

812
01:20:31.260 --> 01:20:40.029
Tad Eggleston: This your first.st I think I'd read a couple of short stories before in like dark horse presents and whatnot. But but this is the 1st time I like

813
01:20:40.320 --> 01:20:50.230
Tad Eggleston: really did any deep. You know, I've heard about it and known that a lot of people are big fans of it, you know that had its cult following for a long time.

814
01:20:50.230 --> 01:20:55.390
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, this is the 1st time I really read it. And yeah, it was be surprised.

815
01:20:56.693 --> 01:21:13.109
Tyler Johnson: I wasn't aware of it. And so it obviously took me in a direction that I was not expecting, because for me, when you told me concrete, and I did a little bit of background reading about the series. First, st I was expecting a guy that was kind of reminded me of the thing right.

816
01:21:13.110 --> 01:21:13.780
Tad Eggleston: Right.

817
01:21:13.780 --> 01:21:23.719
Tyler Johnson: But it turned out to be. I mean, the thing is deep. Don't get me wrong. Ben Green is a deep character, but this this is different, and in a good way, in a.

818
01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:30.649
Tad Eggleston: Well, yeah, I mean, I hadn't thought about that. But that's a good way to describe it. Take Ben Grimm.

819
01:21:30.990 --> 01:21:34.029
Tad Eggleston: And get rid of all of the other superheroes in the universe.

820
01:21:36.610 --> 01:21:43.340
Tad Eggleston: And don't give him suddenly the ability to do acrobatics that he might not have been able to do before.

821
01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:50.610
Tyler Johnson: No, so this is a character that cannot do daily life, I mean, his fingers are too big, his.

822
01:21:50.610 --> 01:21:56.290
Tad Eggleston: He seems to be able to do some typing and whatnot. He still writes.

823
01:21:56.530 --> 01:22:02.019
Tyler Johnson: Go through. But yeah, no, no, he he's he's got to have a lot of things adapted for him.

824
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:12.530
Tad Eggleston: and he has certain things that he can do better, you know, like he goes, or he helped with the farming one I mean. The farming issue was great.

825
01:22:13.030 --> 01:22:19.349
Tad Eggleston: You know the idea of like this one guy showing up and being your farm equipment for a summer.

826
01:22:20.657 --> 01:22:29.559
Tyler Johnson: Exactly because he would. Just if he tried to do it, he'd just break the tools. So I mean he, he's better at digging. You know what I mean?

827
01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:30.790
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

828
01:22:32.420 --> 01:22:35.240
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah, no, I like that.

829
01:22:35.530 --> 01:22:36.999
Tad Eggleston: It's it's like.

830
01:22:38.580 --> 01:22:47.119
Tad Eggleston: the story is built around. Okay, you're stuck with this because he didn't really like choose to be like this.

831
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:51.070
Tad Eggleston: So it's okay. You're stuck with this. This happened to you.

832
01:22:51.550 --> 01:22:52.180
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

833
01:22:52.370 --> 01:22:54.190
Tad Eggleston: How do you

834
01:22:57.590 --> 01:23:00.219
Tad Eggleston: find happiness and purpose anyway?

835
01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:07.899
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. And that's where I kind of bring up Ben Grim, because, you know, for the longest time before he met his current wife.

836
01:23:08.210 --> 01:23:17.713
Tyler Johnson: You know that was his backstory. He's just like woe is me! I'm so ugly nobody wants to be with me. Look at me. I'm just a pile of rocks. And

837
01:23:20.260 --> 01:23:23.650
Tyler Johnson: this kind of has that not quite, but same.

838
01:23:24.790 --> 01:23:28.339
Tad Eggleston: Well, except that I think I feel like it skips the woes me.

839
01:23:28.340 --> 01:23:30.000
Tyler Johnson: Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah.

840
01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:33.349
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I mean, it skips the woes me.

841
01:23:34.125 --> 01:23:38.860
Tad Eggleston: Just like it skips the action. And I think in some ways it's because of

842
01:23:39.050 --> 01:23:47.979
Tad Eggleston: the reason it makes more sense for Ben Grimm. To to be able to do the woes me is because of the action. He does these great things, and now he's stuck.

843
01:23:48.210 --> 01:23:50.720
Tad Eggleston: not being able to do the other fun stuff.

844
01:23:51.330 --> 01:23:51.950
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

845
01:23:52.050 --> 01:23:56.360
Tad Eggleston: Whereas concrete.

846
01:24:00.210 --> 01:24:02.239
Tad Eggleston: Is it Don ron.

847
01:24:02.240 --> 01:24:02.850
Tyler Johnson: Ron.

848
01:24:02.990 --> 01:24:05.999
Tad Eggleston: Ron Ron has to.

849
01:24:06.370 --> 01:24:11.060
Tad Eggleston: He doesn't have obvious ways to make it work for him, so he has to come up with both.

850
01:24:13.010 --> 01:24:18.569
Tad Eggleston: You know he has to come up with. Okay, what do I need to do to be worth

851
01:24:18.710 --> 01:24:23.299
Tad Eggleston: keeping me alive? Because, honestly, it wouldn't be easy to kill myself anyway.

852
01:24:23.620 --> 01:24:24.120
Tyler Johnson: No.

853
01:24:24.120 --> 01:24:25.360
Tad Eggleston: He's so.

854
01:24:25.360 --> 01:24:28.599
Tyler Johnson: Himself out of building and crack right, baby.

855
01:24:29.130 --> 01:24:30.330
Tad Eggleston: Maybe.

856
01:24:30.330 --> 01:24:33.510
Tyler Johnson: Well, he talked about that. At 1 point he talked about.

857
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:34.230
Tad Eggleston: It's.

858
01:24:34.230 --> 01:24:34.840
Tyler Johnson: Seems like.

859
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:42.200
Tad Eggleston: Can only breathe for about an hour underwater. But again, like none of these things, have been completely tested.

860
01:24:42.200 --> 01:24:42.870
Tyler Johnson: Nope.

861
01:24:44.200 --> 01:24:45.145
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, Yahoo,

862
01:24:49.580 --> 01:25:01.389
Tad Eggleston: so yeah, no. It's this fascinating character study and it's also an interesting character study of the the people around him, because because essentially he has 2 close confidants.

863
01:25:02.790 --> 01:25:06.349
Tad Eggleston: But he also travels the world.

864
01:25:09.210 --> 01:25:14.060
Tad Eggleston: And has to. I, you know, I think.

865
01:25:14.190 --> 01:25:23.789
Tad Eggleston: Well first, st what were your favorite issues? I already brought up the farming one, which I still think is my favorite issue, but I just remembered one that's awfully close.

866
01:25:23.910 --> 01:25:26.160
Tad Eggleston: What what were your favorite stories.

867
01:25:26.830 --> 01:25:37.150
Tyler Johnson: Well, my, I I honestly liked you know the is is the farming one where he goes to Kentucky. Is that what you're talking about?

868
01:25:37.390 --> 01:25:43.990
Tad Eggleston: I think so. The one where he helps the farm, and then discovers that they that the

869
01:25:44.270 --> 01:25:52.650
Tad Eggleston: the dad had beat up the mom, and the oldest son had killed him, and that's why they didn't want him to drain the swamp, because that's where they hid the body.

870
01:25:52.650 --> 01:25:56.670
Tyler Johnson: Yes, yeah, yeah, that was awesome. But yeah.

871
01:25:56.670 --> 01:26:01.920
Tyler Johnson: no, I don't know. I didn't really think of it in terms of issues, because I, honestly, I read it in one big chunk, so.

872
01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:04.730
Tad Eggleston: I mostly did, too. But but

873
01:26:05.910 --> 01:26:27.766
Tad Eggleston: and that's why I said stories rather than issues, because, like each story was kind of different. You had the farm story. You had the trying to cross the Atlantic story. You had a couple different versions of the origin story. You had the the meeting up with his mom's story. You had the climbing Everest story.

874
01:26:29.560 --> 01:26:39.470
Tyler Johnson: I, honestly, when he, when his author came into his life, I kind of like that where he was just like he's like, Well, come on, we gotta go. He's like you're hired. If you can do this, you know.

875
01:26:39.470 --> 01:26:40.140
Tad Eggleston: Right.

876
01:26:40.820 --> 01:26:59.709
Tad Eggleston: I think the other one that I really loved was the one that wasn't from concrete's perspective, right after the Everest story there was that that slightly shorter story? That was all. From that kid's perspective. It was the ever story again, or at least a portion of the ever story again. But from that little

877
01:27:00.190 --> 01:27:02.759
Tad Eggleston: Nepalese kids, perspective.

878
01:27:04.250 --> 01:27:08.159
Tad Eggleston: That was just so cool deaf, you know.

879
01:27:08.160 --> 01:27:08.820
Tyler Johnson: Ma'am.

880
01:27:09.190 --> 01:27:09.570
Tad Eggleston: Oh!

881
01:27:09.570 --> 01:27:10.360
Tyler Johnson: So.

882
01:27:11.200 --> 01:27:11.620
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah.

883
01:27:11.620 --> 01:27:12.420
Tyler Johnson: Thank you.

884
01:27:12.420 --> 01:27:13.010
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

885
01:27:13.410 --> 01:27:16.209
Tyler Johnson: Did you want to continue with concrete.

886
01:27:16.670 --> 01:27:17.750
Tad Eggleston: That was my plan.

887
01:27:17.850 --> 01:27:23.330
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, 3 and 4 for next week, and then try to do 5 through 7 for the week. After that

888
01:27:24.450 --> 01:27:27.130
Tyler Johnson: Do you happen to know those volumes? Titles?

889
01:27:28.040 --> 01:27:28.920
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, give me a second.

890
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:29.470
Tad Eggleston: Second.

891
01:27:29.740 --> 01:27:30.120
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

892
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:33.660
Tad Eggleston: I'm certain I can find them quickly. How about that?

893
01:27:34.260 --> 01:27:36.869
Tad Eggleston: Because they are all on hoopla.

894
01:27:45.510 --> 01:27:51.690
Tad Eggleston: so volume 3 is fragile. Creature. Volume 4 is killer smile

895
01:27:53.340 --> 01:27:56.030
Tad Eggleston: and then 5 will be like a mountain.

896
01:27:56.130 --> 01:28:01.069
Tad Eggleston: 6, is strange armor, and 7 is the human dilemma.

897
01:28:01.430 --> 01:28:02.209
Tyler Johnson: Thank you.

898
01:28:02.420 --> 01:28:02.980
Tyler Johnson: I'm on it.

899
01:28:02.980 --> 01:28:03.610
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

900
01:28:05.268 --> 01:28:11.030
Tad Eggleston: we'll kinda we'll I think we should definitely try to do 2 volumes a week for the next 2 weeks.

901
01:28:11.030 --> 01:28:11.660
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

902
01:28:12.540 --> 01:28:13.270
Tyler Johnson: Agreed.

903
01:28:14.500 --> 01:28:18.649
Tad Eggleston: Well, 2 volumes for next week, and then kind of feel out

904
01:28:18.980 --> 01:28:21.590
Tad Eggleston: whether or not we want to

905
01:28:22.380 --> 01:28:29.529
Tad Eggleston: do 2 volumes again, or whether we want to shoot the moon and go for the 3rd volume

906
01:28:30.440 --> 01:28:36.039
Tad Eggleston: in that that last week, so that we get it done in 3 weeks rather than 4,

907
01:28:37.260 --> 01:28:40.620
Tad Eggleston: but that that's where we can play it by ear.

908
01:28:42.100 --> 01:28:42.730
Tyler Johnson: I'd be fine.

909
01:28:42.730 --> 01:28:49.530
Tad Eggleston: Because because it looks like it would be about 600 pages of reading for that 3rd week if

910
01:28:50.170 --> 01:28:52.169
Tad Eggleston: if we decided to push through.

911
01:28:52.540 --> 01:28:56.179
Tyler Johnson: And then, and if that's the case, I probably will

912
01:28:56.360 --> 01:29:03.469
Tyler Johnson: not read any one piece just for time's sake. I I really struggled this week to get it.

913
01:29:03.470 --> 01:29:07.144
Tad Eggleston: No, which is, which is why, you know, we'll figure it out as we go.

914
01:29:07.390 --> 01:29:07.990
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

915
01:29:09.860 --> 01:29:18.029
Tad Eggleston: I just. I knew that I wanted to try to get through the 7 in a relatively timely manner, because it's gonna be

916
01:29:19.530 --> 01:29:22.109
Tad Eggleston: how to put it, we, we recorded.

917
01:29:23.080 --> 01:29:26.639
Tad Eggleston: are selecting the next Brits cabinet.

918
01:29:27.010 --> 01:29:32.990
Tad Eggleston: We still need to record our discussion of speak up, and

919
01:29:33.120 --> 01:29:34.979
Tad Eggleston: 4 kids walk into a bank.

920
01:29:35.090 --> 01:29:42.525
Tad Eggleston: but then the next one is going to be concrete and something else which I will choose while I'm reading concrete.

921
01:29:43.170 --> 01:29:58.049
Tad Eggleston: So I wanted to be able to read concrete in some sort of timely manner, so that a I'm ready whenever Britt gets to the point where he's ready to record, and B. So I can in a timely manner. Say, Hey, I've decided we're going to pair it with this.

922
01:29:58.790 --> 01:30:04.909
Tad Eggleston: So I'm cheating and cutting down on my reading by making it part of your reading.

923
01:30:05.460 --> 01:30:06.360
Tyler Johnson: That's fine!

924
01:30:06.640 --> 01:30:07.150
Tad Eggleston: Ha! Ha!

925
01:30:07.150 --> 01:30:08.470
Tyler Johnson: You know, this is

926
01:30:08.470 --> 01:30:28.309
Tyler Johnson: this is a learning experience for me, because, you know, I came into doing comic book commentary, just knowing what image was putting out in Dark horse. But like with doing this show you're making me look at stuff that I didn't even know existed.

927
01:30:28.310 --> 01:30:29.480
Tad Eggleston: Dark horse.

928
01:30:29.670 --> 01:30:30.850
Tyler Johnson: I know, I know.

929
01:30:30.850 --> 01:30:35.679
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, this is like the stuff that was alongside sin city

930
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:44.150
Tyler Johnson: was at a time where I was just reading amazing spider-man, only because I only had an allowance of you know.

931
01:30:44.150 --> 01:30:57.389
Tad Eggleston: And that's actually the only place that I think I've read concrete before is, I would like pick up a dark horse presents that had a Sin City story in it, and it would have a concrete story in it, too, and I'd wind up reading them both.

932
01:30:57.660 --> 01:30:58.530
Tyler Johnson: Well.

933
01:30:58.530 --> 01:31:07.050
Tyler Johnson: from what I read wasn't the 1st appearance of concrete in a dark horse presents number, or whatever.

934
01:31:07.050 --> 01:31:08.390
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

935
01:31:09.360 --> 01:31:10.060
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

936
01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:11.150
Tad Eggleston: Definitely.

937
01:31:12.500 --> 01:31:15.479
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Dark horse presents number one. Actually, in 86.

938
01:31:16.090 --> 01:31:16.820
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

939
01:31:16.900 --> 01:31:17.470
Tyler Johnson: But.

940
01:31:17.470 --> 01:31:33.479
Tad Eggleston: Which I don't think is the first.st I don't think I'd read that concrete story. I think I read a later Dark horse presents because I didn't start reading Sin City until like the late nineties. So it was probably even something in a dark horse presents. Volume 2.

941
01:31:34.946 --> 01:31:36.340
Tad Eggleston: But yeah.

942
01:31:37.340 --> 01:31:45.269
Tad Eggleston: So what are you looking forward to this week, or wait? No, I go first.st Now, what am I looking for? You're supposed to say to me, man, that's how we're supposed.

943
01:31:45.270 --> 01:31:45.610
Tyler Johnson: All right.

944
01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:48.399
Tad Eggleston: Bad. What are you looking forward to.

945
01:31:48.400 --> 01:31:53.998
Tyler Johnson: Alright. Let's get. Let's get professional. Ted. Alright, Tad, hey, what are you looking forward to this week?

946
01:31:54.340 --> 01:31:58.940
Tad Eggleston: Cam girl. One shot from Sarah Cho. And Cp. Smith.

947
01:31:58.940 --> 01:31:59.360
Tyler Johnson: That is.

948
01:31:59.360 --> 01:32:12.558
Tad Eggleston: Wa, I just love Saracho's work. So I'm looking forward to this lucky devils. Number 2 from Sorrow, Sewell and Ryan Brown. I loved the 1st issue.

949
01:32:13.960 --> 01:32:22.729
Tad Eggleston: And now I'm cheating because I was having a hard, hard time figuring out between like 5 books which was going to be

950
01:32:22.890 --> 01:32:24.280
Tad Eggleston: my 3, rd

951
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:32.479
Tad Eggleston: and then I went. Oh, 2 of these 5 books are by Kyle Starks. So we're going to do the Kyle Starks

952
01:32:33.710 --> 01:32:34.830
Tad Eggleston: Twofer

953
01:32:35.210 --> 01:32:46.520
Tad Eggleston: of those not afraid. Number 2 with Patrick Piazzalunga, and where monsters lie cul-de-sac number 4, with Peter Kowalski.

954
01:32:47.410 --> 01:32:47.779
Tyler Johnson: And I.

955
01:32:47.780 --> 01:32:56.780
Tad Eggleston: I already know, because I got my digital advance of American nature prevents number 2 that it is amazing.

956
01:32:57.630 --> 01:32:58.880
Tyler Johnson: It is on my list.

957
01:32:59.510 --> 01:33:00.220
Tad Eggleston: Yep.

958
01:33:01.140 --> 01:33:03.640
Tad Eggleston: So what are you looking forward to?

959
01:33:04.960 --> 01:33:32.480
Tyler Johnson: One of the 1st indie comics I had got into when I was young was a Titan comic, called Lenore by Roman dirge. He kind of did the whole thing on his own, and it took him forever and ever to get out one issue. And he's coming back with Lenore the time, war number one. So I'm hoping that he can deliver faster than he has in the past.

960
01:33:33.085 --> 01:33:41.160
Tyler Johnson: And then American nature presents number 2 from Greg and fake at floating world comics, and then.

961
01:33:41.160 --> 01:33:49.760
Tad Eggleston: Greg and Fake and Mark Kaperinov, and a cast of other people, including.

962
01:33:50.110 --> 01:33:50.810
Tyler Johnson: Hmm!

963
01:33:51.250 --> 01:33:54.300
Tyler Johnson: Thought we would talk about it when it came out, but yes, 10.

964
01:33:54.300 --> 01:33:54.900
Tad Eggleston: Including.

965
01:33:54.900 --> 01:33:56.049
Tyler Johnson: Stings in there.

966
01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:57.910
Tad Eggleston: Me!

967
01:33:58.420 --> 01:33:58.880
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

968
01:33:58.880 --> 01:34:00.409
Tad Eggleston: Full pages this time.

969
01:34:00.540 --> 01:34:03.160
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, and you, yes.

970
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:04.920
Tyler Johnson: So we'll.

971
01:34:05.270 --> 01:34:07.380
Tad Eggleston: We had a two-page spread this time.

972
01:34:07.700 --> 01:34:11.299
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. American, nature. Yeah.

973
01:34:11.300 --> 01:34:29.169
Tad Eggleston: Just skip to pages 21 and 22, because that's us, though, as I look at it, and it's 21 and 22 that might actually mean that we don't have a 2 page spread as much as you have to turn the page, depending on how they did their numbering, because page one is often

974
01:34:29.580 --> 01:34:30.400
Tad Eggleston: often.

975
01:34:30.400 --> 01:34:30.950
Tyler Johnson: On the right.

976
01:34:30.950 --> 01:34:32.900
Tad Eggleston: Like on the right? Yeah.

977
01:34:32.900 --> 01:34:33.500
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

978
01:34:33.500 --> 01:34:34.400
Tad Eggleston: So.

979
01:34:35.320 --> 01:34:35.940
Tyler Johnson: Huh!

980
01:34:35.940 --> 01:34:41.100
Tad Eggleston: No! Oh, no, no! It looks like they don't give a page number to their

981
01:34:44.380 --> 01:34:48.480
Tad Eggleston: their their table of contents! Page.

982
01:34:48.870 --> 01:34:50.710
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Okay.

983
01:34:50.710 --> 01:35:08.660
Tad Eggleston: So we do have a spread. So just turn to page 21 and 22. Skip all that stuff by pat Rooks and Nick Pyle and Cam Rosario and Alex Neal and Adam Tinia. Well, no. Adam Tinias and Alex Neal are after us. Yeah.

984
01:35:08.810 --> 01:35:17.539
Tad Eggleston: Brian Cannini, Nate Mcdonough, Mark Kaperinov they're all before us. Skip that stuff and go to us, and then go back and read all their stuff.

985
01:35:20.430 --> 01:35:23.010
