Tyler Johnson: Okay.

2
00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:15.159
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

3
00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:18.679
Tyler Johnson: from me is Tad, hey, Tad?

4
00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:20.780
Tad Eggleston: Hey, Tyler, how's it going.

5
00:00:21.130 --> 00:00:27.779
Tyler Johnson: Good. I'm a little annoyed that my! I haven't figured out what's going on with my recording equipment yet. It's just not.

6
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.620
Tad Eggleston: Have you? Have you unplugged it and plugged.

7
00:00:29.620 --> 00:00:33.630
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's unplugged right now. It's driving me nuts.

8
00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:37.000
Tad Eggleston: Have you disconnected the cord and reconnected the cord.

9
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:39.450
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, which? One.

10
00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:42.710
Tad Eggleston: Power chord, I mean all of the chords really.

11
00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:44.870
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yep, I have.

12
00:00:45.370 --> 00:00:46.770
Tad Eggleston: The baseball bat yet.

13
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.539
Tyler Johnson: Not yet side of my hand. Yes.

14
00:00:49.540 --> 00:00:50.095
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

15
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:52.610
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay.

16
00:00:54.516 --> 00:01:01.760
Tyler Johnson: not a bat. Yet. No, basically, what it's doing is it turns on. And then the record

17
00:01:01.910 --> 00:01:05.640
Tyler Johnson: actual function does not start when I hit the record button.

18
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.499
Tad Eggleston: Did you make certain that it has a memory card in it?

19
00:01:08.770 --> 00:01:09.090
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

20
00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:10.540
Tad Eggleston: Required has space.

21
00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:11.850
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that was my problem.

22
00:01:11.850 --> 00:01:14.219
Tad Eggleston: And is, and is formatted properly.

23
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:22.910
Tyler Johnson: Yep, I've done. I've done all the things, and it's just being a DITC. H.

24
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:27.549
Tad Eggleston: Be nice to female dogs. Why don't we say it's being a trump.

25
00:01:27.940 --> 00:01:31.479
Tyler Johnson: Is being a trump God! Such a trump!

26
00:01:31.710 --> 00:01:34.500
Tad Eggleston: Or an Elon. It's being an Elon.

27
00:01:35.259 --> 00:01:36.019
Tyler Johnson: But.

28
00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:45.169
Tad Eggleston: Fucking Elon, snooping through all my shit, Elon, so we'll start off with the good news.

29
00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:45.910
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

30
00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:48.709
Tad Eggleston: Both Mad Cave and Oni have

31
00:01:49.230 --> 00:02:05.239
Tad Eggleston: hired new people. Last week we were talking about about layoffs. Cave and Oni are not laying people off. They are adding people, so so rumors of the demise of the comic book industry may have been premature.

32
00:02:05.570 --> 00:02:07.559
Tad Eggleston: As we knew very well.

33
00:02:08.070 --> 00:02:08.740
Tyler Johnson: I hope.

34
00:02:09.190 --> 00:02:17.770
Tad Eggleston: In the the Mixed news. Diamond is going to auction. March 24, th you can. You can buy yourself

35
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:40.520
Tad Eggleston: parts of diamond, the comics distribution, arm, the book, distribution, arm, the game distribution, arm, the toy, distribution arm. All of these things are for sale separately, so like, if there's 1 part of diamond that you really like, and you've got, like the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars necessary to purchase it. March 24th is your day in New York.

36
00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:45.740
Tad Eggleston: In related news we have the 1st casualty of Diamond Blood Moon.

37
00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:46.470
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

38
00:02:46.470 --> 00:02:48.440
Tad Eggleston: Comics who, I mean

39
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:59.410
Tad Eggleston: I don't really know. They they specialize in kind of horror stuff! That's not my, not my jam, and they're smaller press, and on one side, you know, who lose a smaller press, and that

40
00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:02.239
Tad Eggleston: you don't worry too much.

41
00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:03.250
Tyler Johnson: Right.

42
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:10.949
Tad Eggleston: But small presses are important and small presses. Sometimes you become bigger presses and sometimes small presses just do really cool work, and

43
00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:17.339
Tad Eggleston: the less publishers you have, the less opportunities there are

44
00:03:17.510 --> 00:03:25.570
Tad Eggleston: for creators to get their work out. So it's never good. But hopefully, we're looking at, you know.

45
00:03:27.410 --> 00:03:35.450
Tad Eggleston: people that just aren't managed well enough to, you know it's not a big trend, etc. I'm trying to remain hopeful so far.

46
00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:40.070
Tad Eggleston: And in the relatively hopeful side Udan.

47
00:03:40.370 --> 00:03:42.970
Tyler Johnson: Press which does a lot of.

48
00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:48.670
Tad Eggleston: Manga and some web comic printing.

49
00:03:49.294 --> 00:03:54.869
Tad Eggleston: Is headed to lunar, so they have found a new distribution home.

50
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:59.530
Tyler Johnson: And now to everybody's favorite part of the podcast.

51
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:19.859
Tad Eggleston: We kind of take a glance at the week that was, and no, there's nothing good in this week, I mean, I guess, as it turns out there were 6 at least 6. So far I don't know that the charges against Eric Adams have actually been withdrawn yet, so there may still be more

52
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:28.739
Tad Eggleston: but at least 6 members of the Justice Department, headed up by the the

53
00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:37.740
Tad Eggleston: the head of the the Southern district of New York.

54
00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:44.509
Tad Eggleston: Which you know I forget her name right now. I think something Sassoon.

55
00:04:45.247 --> 00:04:48.650
Tad Eggleston: Federalist society member appointed by trump.

56
00:04:49.416 --> 00:04:56.970
Tad Eggleston: You know, absolutely conservative bonafides like out the Wazoo.

57
00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:57.790
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

58
00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:07.889
Tad Eggleston: Nobody's calling her a Liberal not only refuse to to

59
00:05:08.090 --> 00:05:27.254
Tad Eggleston: drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams, of New York, but wrote an 8 page scathing letter about how? Even asking her to was wildly inappropriate and against the remit of the Justice Department. So so they moved jurisdiction to the case, to

60
00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:36.200
Tad Eggleston: I forget which bureau I should have pulled up this stuff, but they they moved it to to one of the Washington bureaus that essentially handles

61
00:05:36.490 --> 00:05:46.899
Tad Eggleston: fraud and stuff, and the the head and all. 5 of his deputies resigned one of them from a hospital bed where she's just given birth.

62
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:47.840
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

63
00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:48.870
Tad Eggleston: Said,

64
00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:50.580
Tyler Johnson: No.

65
00:05:50.580 --> 00:06:08.989
Tad Eggleston: No, we. We have strong evidence that he did crying. And and the only reason you're saying to to not prosecute is because he said he'd do political stuff for you, and that's not how it's supposed to work.

66
00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:10.629
Tyler Johnson: Right. You don't.

67
00:06:10.630 --> 00:06:19.280
Tad Eggleston: Get to say, don't, don't, don't prosecute my criming, because I'll say nice things about you on TV.

68
00:06:21.555 --> 00:06:25.109
Tad Eggleston: You know, just to make things more interesting. The

69
00:06:25.270 --> 00:06:33.599
Tad Eggleston: Eric Adams was on Fox news with the head of ice.

70
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:36.549
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it was.

71
00:06:36.550 --> 00:06:49.850
Tad Eggleston: And was essentially threatened on air, you know. See, he's on the couch here with me, so he can't back out now. Besides, those charges were weren't being dismissed with prejudice.

72
00:06:51.150 --> 00:06:52.036
Tyler Johnson: That's right.

73
00:06:54.436 --> 00:06:56.250
Tad Eggleston: So yeah.

74
00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:08.729
Tad Eggleston: this all while Elon and his Doge boys continue to just take sledgehammers to government. I'm going to remind everybody that they should be reading heather. Cox Richardson's

75
00:07:13.207 --> 00:07:19.630
Tad Eggleston: what's her subset? Called Letters from an American heather. Cox Richardson is a a renowned historian, who.

76
00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:29.340
Tad Eggleston: at least for the last 4 years, and I'm not certain exactly how long, but she's been doing a a near daily sub stack

77
00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:34.310
Tad Eggleston: where her purpose is to record these

78
00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:41.629
Tad Eggleston: record what's going on right now for essentially the grad student

79
00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:49.290
Tad Eggleston: researching this era 50 years from now, while also providing historical context

80
00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:58.820
Tad Eggleston: for her readers now, and for that grad student, but from from last night's

81
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:07.520
Tad Eggleston: message there was. There was one paragraph that really stuck out to me, so I just wanted to to read it, because this is

82
00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:14.489
Tad Eggleston: this is how brilliant, I mean, because, like on the right, they're still cheering all of this stuff.

83
00:08:15.635 --> 00:08:16.409
Tyler Johnson: Exactly.

84
00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:36.859
Tad Eggleston: They're like, Oh, you're going to court to stop it. What are you trying to hide? And it's like, no, among other things, we just explain something particularly to the right wing political cartoonists who are using that argument. I mean, I'll give you that at least your right wing. Political cartoons that have been using that argument are coherent

85
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:38.390
Tad Eggleston: which is.

86
00:08:38.669 --> 00:08:44.520
Tad Eggleston: is not actually that common for right wing political cartoons. Most of the time I have to read

87
00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:50.660
Tad Eggleston: the the explanation of what they're trying to say before I have any idea what they're trying to say. But there have been a few.

88
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:52.540
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you gotta really dig into it.

89
00:08:52.540 --> 00:08:52.980
Tyler Johnson: Right?

90
00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:54.139
Tyler Johnson: Agreed, yeah.

91
00:08:56.155 --> 00:08:56.880
Tad Eggleston: Hmm!

92
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:03.849
Tad Eggleston: But like going to court isn't how you hide fraud.

93
00:09:06.470 --> 00:09:09.999
Tad Eggleston: If you're going to court to prevent them

94
00:09:10.530 --> 00:09:28.459
Tad Eggleston: access and whatnot, you will have to provide evidence. Evidence of fraud could be brought. Things can be again. There's a reason why Donald Trump spent 4 years doing everything he could to stay out of court.

95
00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:35.209
Tad Eggleston: Things can be subpoenaed, things become public.

96
00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:36.900
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

97
00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:41.899
Tad Eggleston: This is not how you hide fraud. This is how you

98
00:09:42.250 --> 00:10:11.019
Tad Eggleston: try to protect a government from completely breaking down. And that's where that's my lead into this wonderful, wonderful paragraph. It certainly appears that those in charge of the firings didn't know what they were doing. On Thursday they fired more than 300 workers at the National Nuclear Security Administration, apparently not aware that they were the people who oversee the nation's nuclear weapons.

99
00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:32.109
Tad Eggleston: Today Peter Alexander and Alexander Marquez, of Nbc. News reported that officials are now trying to rehire them, but can't figure out how to reach them because the workers lost access to their work email when they were fired.

100
00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:36.857
Tyler Johnson: I heard this. This is so stupid.

101
00:10:38.050 --> 00:10:40.520
Tad Eggleston: It's also so dangerous.

102
00:10:40.520 --> 00:10:46.360
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yes, oh, yes, they're fired their own people, you know, and.

103
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.379
Tad Eggleston: I mean, what they're doing is patently illegal. To begin with.

104
00:10:51.380 --> 00:10:51.810
Tyler Johnson: Right.

105
00:10:51.810 --> 00:10:52.260
Tad Eggleston: Is.

106
00:10:52.260 --> 00:10:52.680
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

107
00:10:52.680 --> 00:11:03.230
Tad Eggleston: Like, and they have Congress so like, if if they thought it was something that they should be doing, if if people truly wanted this, if it was defensible

108
00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:07.870
Tad Eggleston: right? Congress could pass the laws. They could do this stuff legally.

109
00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:12.670
Tad Eggleston: They're choosing to do it illegally, because

110
00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:18.999
Tad Eggleston: then, if it doesn't work, Congress hasn't put anything on the line other than their spinelessness.

111
00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:20.130
Tyler Johnson: Right.

112
00:11:23.980 --> 00:11:24.900
Tad Eggleston: Just?

113
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:26.460
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

114
00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:45.460
Tad Eggleston: Ridiculous, ridiculous, and more ridiculous. So let's get through the rest of our new to order stuff for the February catalogs starting with Godzilla versus Los Angeles is the city of Angels ready for a Godzilla

115
00:11:45.940 --> 00:12:00.399
Tad Eggleston: fresh off Godzilla's destructive stop in Chicago. The King of monsters is headed for Hollywood join a superstar team of Los Angeles-based comics, creators for 4 incredible stories all set in the filmmaking capital of the world

116
00:12:00.990 --> 00:12:13.379
Tad Eggleston: stories from Gabriel Hardman, Jay Gonzo, Dave Baker, our Buddy, from Mary Tyler, Moorhawk, and more in stores on

117
00:12:14.610 --> 00:12:17.939
Tad Eggleston: April 30, th from Idw.

118
00:12:19.370 --> 00:12:23.000
Tyler Johnson: Nice more Godzilla on the line here.

119
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:30.105
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Well, this one. We're only gonna read from Godzilla versus fantastic 4. But but but

120
00:12:33.330 --> 00:12:35.209
Tyler Johnson: There's a lot Godzilla versus.

121
00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:37.150
Tad Eggleston: They have 6 plans, they.

122
00:12:37.150 --> 00:12:37.640
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

123
00:12:37.640 --> 00:12:46.190
Tad Eggleston: Versus fantastic, 4 godzilla versus the hulk, X-men, Spider-man Thor, and one that hasn't even been announced yet.

124
00:12:47.010 --> 00:12:47.710
Tyler Johnson: But

125
00:12:48.110 --> 00:13:07.339
Tyler Johnson: all right. So the battle of the century starts here with the start of 6 sensational, action-packed issues with marvel heroes battling the king of the monsters from its many different eras. How will Godzilla's lore mix with mighty the might marvel universe? I think that might the mighty marvel.

126
00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:08.669
Tad Eggleston: I think it should be mighty. Yeah.

127
00:13:08.670 --> 00:13:10.320
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, find out. Is.

128
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.070
Tad Eggleston: Copy editors.

129
00:13:12.070 --> 00:13:29.019
Tyler Johnson: They need better copier. Find out as history is twisted when icons, like the fantastic 4 spider-man hulk, X-men and Thor go face off against one of the greatest monsters of all time.

130
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:36.080
Tad Eggleston: And then for that one, the fantastic 4 is Ryan North, and John Romita, Jr. On March 19th

131
00:13:36.310 --> 00:13:42.579
Tad Eggleston: hulk is Jerry Duggan and Giuseppe Camancoli on April 16.th

132
00:13:44.430 --> 00:13:48.810
Tad Eggleston: Spider-man Joe Kelly and Nick Bradshaw on April 30, th

133
00:13:48.950 --> 00:14:03.850
Tad Eggleston: X-men, Fabien Nikesa, and Emilio lyso on May 14th and the other 2 are still to be announced, so we'll probably drop a line about them sometime next week, maybe, or next month. Maybe, if we feel like it.

134
00:14:04.704 --> 00:14:05.560
Tyler Johnson: Maybe.

135
00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:11.139
Tad Eggleston: Right, all right. Heavy metal magazine is returning heavier than ever.

136
00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:36.729
Tad Eggleston: Relaunch brings the world's greatest illustrated magazine back to the forefront of comics, and with a lot of mostly overseas talent, but some some local talent as well. The heavy Metal Book Club will be all over this. I think we all kickstarted it. So yeah, heavy metal magazine back to the fore metal or launch coming back to actually, I think, more excited about that. But you know.

137
00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:39.509
Tad Eggleston: having both is actually pretty awesome.

138
00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.439
Tyler Johnson: I will start reading heavy metal. I've always wanted to get in on the ground.

139
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.079
Tad Eggleston: There you go. You can join the Book Club.

140

Tad Eggleston: let's see, what I'm most curious about is

273
00:30:29.040 --> 00:30:42.730
Tad Eggleston: is this a Tyler's completely not paying attention? Or is this, a rainbow needs to arrange their new books better, so that you understand this is the new book, and these are

274
00:30:42.730 --> 00:30:44.440
Tad Eggleston: new print of old ones.

275
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:51.600
Tyler Johnson: Both so the way it's played out is okay. So Bat absolute batman, for example.

276
00:30:52.813 --> 00:31:07.066
Tyler Johnson: the older reprinted one is to the left, and then the next one is to the right, and so on, and I instinctively just grab the furthest one to the left, because I don't care about covers. I usually just want the A cover.

277
00:31:07.390 --> 00:31:07.750
Tad Eggleston: Gotcha.

278
00:31:07.750 --> 00:31:17.250
Tyler Johnson: So it is both. It is their placement, and I am just grabbing. And my wife my wife laughed at me very hard, because.

279
00:31:17.250 --> 00:31:18.239
Tyler Johnson: yeah, yeah.

280
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:18.620
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

281
00:31:18.620 --> 00:31:20.759
Tad Eggleston: I'm laughing at you a little bit too.

282
00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:30.899
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. And my 3rd pick is American nature presents, because, Tad, you have a right up in it.

283
00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:32.699
Tad Eggleston: Two-page spread baby.

284
00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:41.185
Tyler Johnson: Yes, and it's a great read. I did a little little illustration of you complaining about the price of comics, so I think that was funny.

285
00:31:42.350 --> 00:31:48.720
Tyler Johnson: yeah, check it out. American American nature presents number 2 from Greg and fake from floating world.

286
00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:58.919
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I'm already starting about my starting to think about not only my column for Number 3, but I'm starting to kick around ideas for my column for Number 4 already. So you.

287
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:00.020
Tyler Johnson: Wow. Okay.

288
00:32:00.020 --> 00:32:03.110
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, cool. Yeah, I'm enjoying that gig.

289
00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:05.540
Tyler Johnson: I very much enjoying that gig.

290
00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:13.409
Tyler Johnson: It's nice, somebody. I pulled it up when I picked it up off the shelf, and I showed people, our our contributions to the comic and.

291
00:32:13.410 --> 00:32:15.659
Tad Eggleston: We've got an ad in there somewhere, too. I think.

292
00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:17.080
Tyler Johnson: Okay. I'll find it.

293
00:32:17.895 --> 00:32:28.769
Tad Eggleston: I know, like Kelly Kelly sent an ad in for the next issue with Santos Sisters, and they wouldn't even let her pay them.

294
00:32:30.060 --> 00:32:30.679
Tyler Johnson: Really.

295
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:31.760
Tad Eggleston: Apparently we.

296
00:32:32.300 --> 00:32:38.360
Tad Eggleston: I spent part of this week blocking out like shot sheet.

297
00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:47.380
Tad Eggleston: so I can get back to recording, too. So with any luck we'll manage to get at least the 1st 5 issues recorded by the time they are

298
00:32:47.510 --> 00:32:49.110
Tad Eggleston: released. As a hardcover.

299
00:32:49.550 --> 00:32:50.390
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Cool.

300
00:32:50.626 --> 00:32:54.880
Tad Eggleston: That's kind of that's kind of my goal for myself. We've got about a month and a half.

301
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.246
Tad Eggleston: So yeah,

302
00:32:58.450 --> 00:33:05.788
Tad Eggleston: my favorite book this week was was a cam girl from Sarah H. Cho. And Cp. Smith.

303
00:33:06.930 --> 00:33:11.090
Tad Eggleston: it's a it's a nice tight, one-shot thriller.

304
00:33:11.780 --> 00:33:23.859
Tad Eggleston: that also has a very human look at at a corner of the sex worker industry, and

305
00:33:27.010 --> 00:33:32.180
Tad Eggleston: how people wind up there which is not to like.

306
00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:40.640
Tad Eggleston: while also demystifying being there doesn't make you like a bad person, or whatever right

307
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.869
Tad Eggleston: the repercussions of being there that are even. You're like equally dumb.

308
00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:50.289
Tad Eggleston: You know, cause cause in it like

309
00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:58.460
Tad Eggleston: I don't want to ruin too much, but but essentially she. The the back story is that the main character

310
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:06.540
Tad Eggleston: wound up, losing a job because of mental health issues.

311
00:34:07.670 --> 00:34:08.090
Tad Eggleston: Right?

312
00:34:08.090 --> 00:34:10.770
Tad Eggleston: We're getting back into our industry.

313
00:34:13.040 --> 00:34:16.919
Tad Eggleston: Needed to pay rent, and that's how she wound up as a cam girl.

314
00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:28.280
Tad Eggleston: But now both the history of the mental health thing. And the do a Google search. And you find out she's a cam girl means that she has

315
00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:35.650
Tad Eggleston: a huge amount of trouble finding work in

316
00:34:36.389 --> 00:34:39.999
Tad Eggleston: her. You know the the industry that she's good at?

317
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:43.420
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. So yeah, it's a

318
00:34:45.889 --> 00:34:54.380
Tad Eggleston: it's another, you know, and I don't even remember if it asked this question. But I know. I asked this question, which is

319
00:34:56.290 --> 00:34:58.580
Tyler Johnson: Just from my experience.

320
00:34:58.900 --> 00:35:10.070
Tad Eggleston: White men are given way, more opportunities after they have any sort of mental health thing, and or can blame mental health things for bad behavior to get

321
00:35:10.510 --> 00:35:14.550
Tad Eggleston: new opportunities right.

322
00:35:16.430 --> 00:35:21.189
Tad Eggleston: And I'm also relatively certain that, like

323
00:35:21.710 --> 00:35:28.390
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I don't know how many male porn stars have tried to go into other

324
00:35:30.850 --> 00:35:35.190
Tad Eggleston: other industries, but I'm relatively certain it wouldn't block them from it.

325
00:35:37.330 --> 00:35:39.610
Tyler Johnson: Probably not. No, you're probably.

326
00:35:39.610 --> 00:35:51.709
Tad Eggleston: Particularly straight male porn stores. I don't think that you'd like have trouble getting getting an executive job if they found out that you you had done.

327
00:35:53.450 --> 00:36:02.170
Tad Eggleston: you'd been the the male actor in Straight porn. I think it'd be more likely that they go. That's awesome, dude. What was it like?

328
00:36:02.531 --> 00:36:06.508
Tyler Johnson: Probably if you're trying to get a job in Trump's Cabinet.

329
00:36:06.870 --> 00:36:13.570
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, well, definitely there. I'm surprised Ron. Jeremy didn't get a pardon and and a cabinet position.

330
00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:14.550
Tyler Johnson: I know.

331
00:36:15.056 --> 00:36:19.609
Tad Eggleston: Maybe that's maybe he's holding that for year. 2.

332
00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:32.259
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, it was. It was. It was fantastic. Sarah Cho, of course, wrote red light as well. I love her work. Really really enjoyed this book.

333
00:36:33.340 --> 00:36:41.699
Tad Eggleston: on my my books that I hope would be spectacular. I did a twin

334
00:36:44.550 --> 00:36:48.130
Tad Eggleston: Kyle Stark's thing with with where monsters lie

335
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:58.159
Tad Eggleston: and those not afraid, but those not afraid, I think, distinguished itself enough that where monsters lie is in my honorable mentions. Now, okay, fantastic.

336
00:36:58.300 --> 00:37:05.799
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. But I'm giving those not afraid. Number 2 by Kyle Starks and Patrick Piazzalunga at Dark Horse.

337
00:37:06.040 --> 00:37:11.040
Tad Eggleston: Essentially, it's like 2 serial killers met each other.

338
00:37:12.670 --> 00:37:18.670
Tad Eggleston: and now they're in competition to become the

339
00:37:20.900 --> 00:37:24.929
Tad Eggleston: most prolific serial killer in their given state.

340
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:26.060
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

341
00:37:26.630 --> 00:37:35.800
Tad Eggleston: So it's a it's a serial killer comedy with some romance mixed in, except that, again, really weird romance, because

342
00:37:37.050 --> 00:37:53.100
Tad Eggleston: the people who are romantic are aren't aware that their partner, I mean, there's a double date scene here between the one serial killer and his wife and his wife's friend, who's a a like serial killer, Podcaster

343
00:37:53.430 --> 00:38:03.859
Tad Eggleston: and the other serial killer, who who again, only the serial killers know that they're serial killers. Otherwise it's just like a double date.

344
00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.440
Tad Eggleston: hey?

345
00:38:08.170 --> 00:38:13.009
Tyler Johnson: Definitely something I have to check out. I'm sure number one is still out there.

346
00:38:13.010 --> 00:38:21.160
Tad Eggleston: I'm certain it is, too. Kyle Starks, I mean, it's Kyle Starks, Kyle, Starks, and Doug Wagner have a couple of the most twisted minds in the.

347
00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:22.860
Tyler Johnson: They are so funny.

348
00:38:23.120 --> 00:38:23.380
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

349
00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:23.810
Tad Eggleston: Oh.

350
00:38:24.090 --> 00:38:38.699
Tad Eggleston: and then archaic number 3 from Melissa F. Olson and Sally Canterino is like a nice family story with a fantasy element and and whatnot, and just continues to be really cool at a hoi comics. Yeah.

351
00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:42.270
Tad Eggleston: I'm pulling way out ahead of you again. Tyler.

352
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:51.580
Tyler Johnson: I know. I know it was a slow week in the world of one piece. I got caught up to where you were last week.

353
00:38:51.580 --> 00:38:56.629
Tad Eggleston: Okay, see? See I here's the thing. Tyler.

354
00:38:56.980 --> 00:39:02.180
Tad Eggleston: I did all of my reading after we recorded last week, like, right after we record.

355
00:39:02.180 --> 00:39:02.670
Tyler Johnson: Figure.

356
00:39:02.670 --> 00:39:08.769
Tad Eggleston: I haven't read anything since Sunday. Yeah, but but I couldn't put it down until oh, God!

357
00:39:08.770 --> 00:39:10.250
Tad Eggleston: Through the battle.

358
00:39:10.430 --> 00:39:13.931
Tyler Johnson: I know I'm in the midst of it, you know, and

359
00:39:14.740 --> 00:39:22.449
Tad Eggleston: Luffy just will not quit in this battle at at

360
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:25.500
Tad Eggleston: why did I forget the name of it again?

361
00:39:26.524 --> 00:39:29.740
Tyler Johnson: luffy versus I'm at luffy versus Rob Lucci.

362
00:39:29.740 --> 00:39:32.169
Tad Eggleston: Is it Ennis Ennis lobby?

363
00:39:32.540 --> 00:39:33.660
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I.

364
00:39:35.891 --> 00:39:38.299
Tyler Johnson: In his lobby. I'm looking.

365
00:39:38.430 --> 00:39:39.540
Tad Eggleston: Something lobby.

366
00:39:39.580 --> 00:39:43.370
Tyler Johnson: Grand Line Navy Headquarters.

367
00:39:45.742 --> 00:39:48.479
Tyler Johnson: I don't remember.

368
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.150
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

369
00:39:49.410 --> 00:39:49.740
Tyler Johnson: But.

370
00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:53.200
Tad Eggleston: I don't. I don't remember right now, either, but like

371
00:39:53.490 --> 00:39:57.969
Tad Eggleston: none of the rest of them, quit either, which is equally impressive. But like, Yeah.

372
00:39:57.970 --> 00:40:07.049
Tyler Johnson: They? They're different. They're all very much kind of smitten with Luffy's attitude, and his.

373
00:40:07.050 --> 00:40:07.460
Tad Eggleston: Right.

374
00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:07.910
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

375
00:40:07.910 --> 00:40:08.610
Tad Eggleston: Right. It's just.

376
00:40:08.610 --> 00:40:10.459
Tyler Johnson: They're just like, well, okay.

377
00:40:10.460 --> 00:40:11.609
Tad Eggleston: Say no.

378
00:40:11.610 --> 00:40:12.100
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

379
00:40:12.100 --> 00:40:17.119
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, you just beat the crap out of me, and I'm gonna stand up again, anyway.

380
00:40:19.670 --> 00:40:29.460
Tad Eggleston: and it's just I mean, it's like the superman up in the sky. You know the he'll win because he just won't allow himself not to.

381
00:40:29.750 --> 00:40:30.205
Tyler Johnson: Right.

382
00:40:32.530 --> 00:40:33.180
Tyler Johnson: So.

383
00:40:33.180 --> 00:40:37.590
Tad Eggleston: And it's it's it's fun, it's inspiring. And yeah.

384
00:40:38.170 --> 00:40:41.950
Tyler Johnson: That's a good word for it. It is fun. It's when I wanna want something that's gonna like

385
00:40:43.107 --> 00:40:45.050
Tyler Johnson: alleviate, you know.

386
00:40:45.050 --> 00:40:45.690
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

387
00:40:46.470 --> 00:40:54.933
Tyler Johnson: Provide a moment of brevity, you know, and it's just it just makes me chuckle. You know, I'm like, what is he doing?

388
00:40:56.450 --> 00:41:00.980
Tyler Johnson: There's so many good characters in this, and the cast has just gotten huge.

389
00:41:02.540 --> 00:41:06.120
Tad Eggleston: I mean keeping track of characters and names is hard for me now.

390
00:41:06.120 --> 00:41:06.810
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

391
00:41:06.810 --> 00:41:08.180
Tad Eggleston: I don't care what I'm reading.

392
00:41:08.580 --> 00:41:16.019
Tyler Johnson: I want to get, and I don't know if there is one available, but a 1 piece compendium would be nice.

393
00:41:16.571 --> 00:41:17.979
Tyler Johnson: So that I can.

394
00:41:17.980 --> 00:41:20.509
Tad Eggleston: Putting it out in in like

395
00:41:22.560 --> 00:41:26.450
Tad Eggleston: they're putting it out in 3. 0, you mean a

396
00:41:26.720 --> 00:41:32.620
Tad Eggleston: do you mean a compendium? Or do you mean a a like character. Guide, encyclopedia, type, thing.

397
00:41:33.190 --> 00:41:34.490
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that. Yep.

398
00:41:34.490 --> 00:41:42.019
Tad Eggleston: Okay? Because let's say they're they're putting it out in 3 volume sets where, rather than like the the

399
00:41:42.650 --> 00:41:45.740
Tad Eggleston: 200 pages, you get 600 pages at a time.

400
00:41:46.013 --> 00:41:49.840
Tyler Johnson: No, I'm I'm talking about more of a guide, so that I can just.

401
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.250
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I bet you there is. There's.

402
00:41:52.250 --> 00:41:52.750
Tyler Johnson: You know.

403
00:41:52.750 --> 00:41:54.350
Tad Eggleston: There's definitely a wiki.

404
00:41:54.560 --> 00:41:57.669
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. One piece. Wiki, yeah.

405
00:41:58.240 --> 00:41:59.300
Tyler Johnson: That would be helpful.

406
00:41:59.720 --> 00:42:00.390
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

407
00:42:00.610 --> 00:42:02.631
Tyler Johnson: I should look into that for sure.

408
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:03.610
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

409
00:42:04.410 --> 00:42:17.239
Tad Eggleston: It's fun and like I don't know when I'll get to it this week, because I've got a lot of reading to do, and because I managed to get to that. Oh, finally, this feels like an okay place to stop.

410
00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:17.660
Tyler Johnson: Right.

411
00:42:17.660 --> 00:42:22.230
Tad Eggleston: After after nonstop action, for, like 600 pages.

412
00:42:23.220 --> 00:42:35.559
Tyler Johnson: I know it's like 40 chapters it's been a lot, but it's pretty. It's pretty awesome I'm getting into like when I go places like

413
00:42:36.210 --> 00:42:41.310
Tyler Johnson: the the Mall, or something like that. There's 1 piece

414
00:42:42.680 --> 00:42:53.419
Tyler Johnson: flags in this one store, and I'm like, you know, I should get it's a skull and crossbones with Luffy's with Luffy's hat, and I'm like I have a

415
00:42:54.810 --> 00:42:59.120
Tyler Johnson: a flagpole on the front of my house, and oh.

416
00:42:59.120 --> 00:43:00.969
Tyler Johnson: I would love to fly it, you know.

417
00:43:00.970 --> 00:43:01.800
Tad Eggleston: Quiet.

418
00:43:02.070 --> 00:43:06.960
Tyler Johnson: Yep, that would be fun. I never take down my pride flag, though.

419
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.550
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Well, I mean, you could put it under your pride flag.

420
00:43:10.680 --> 00:43:18.259
Tyler Johnson: True. And right now I'm not willing to take down my pride flag, because there's no there's no one else around me that's willing to put one up anymore.

421
00:43:18.260 --> 00:43:23.889
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Do you have just a regular pride flag? Or do you have the Trans Pride flag.

422
00:43:23.890 --> 00:43:25.440
Tyler Johnson: Is the triangle.

423
00:43:25.787 --> 00:43:28.160
Tyler Johnson: Okay. So it's got the. So it's got the training.

424
00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:33.759
Tad Eggleston: Trans triangle. And the the yeah, I like that one. I like that one a lot.

425
00:43:33.890 --> 00:43:36.979
Tyler Johnson: It's getting pretty tattered. I gotta replace it.

426
00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:42.880
Tad Eggleston: Did. Did you see? I showed you the designs for the for the buttons Kelly made? I got yeah.

427
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.120
Tad Eggleston: Remember, to put links up in our

428
00:43:45.330 --> 00:43:49.189
Tad Eggleston: socials and stuff whatnot because she's selling them on ko-fi

429
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:55.990
Tad Eggleston: for a buck piece. 50 cents is for materials and whatnot, and 50 cents goes to gets

430
00:43:55.990 --> 00:44:01.900
Tad Eggleston: the next batch, aclu aclu and Trevor project.

431
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:11.669
Tyler Johnson: Okay, one of the things I wanted to talk about before we get on to our great responsibility is if somebody wanted to

432
00:44:11.810 --> 00:44:16.770
Tyler Johnson: help out financially somewhere. Would you recommend the Aclu as the.

433
00:44:17.660 --> 00:44:25.310
Tad Eggleston: Aclu would definitely be one of my top places right now, we need lawsuits. Yeah.

434
00:44:26.050 --> 00:44:34.680
Tad Eggleston: as frustrating as they are the Democratic party. Or if you're not willing to go straight to the Democratic party.

435
00:44:35.300 --> 00:44:40.310
Tad Eggleston: you know, pick out the Political Action Committee that that

436
00:44:41.720 --> 00:44:48.266
Tad Eggleston: speaks most to you, and or you trust the people at it. The most I give to both

437
00:44:50.170 --> 00:44:57.400
Tad Eggleston: Katie Porter's truth to power, and David Hogg's leaders. We deserve

438
00:44:57.620 --> 00:45:07.740
Tad Eggleston: right. Truth to power is, is kind of trying to take her her whiteboard into the Pac realm and

439
00:45:08.300 --> 00:45:15.010
Tad Eggleston: leaders. We deserve specifically targets younger candidates to help.

440
00:45:15.010 --> 00:45:18.420
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah, that's kind of what we need right now.

441
00:45:19.823 --> 00:45:29.109
Tad Eggleston: But then, you know, I mean there, there's some great gun control groups. There's there's every mom for gun safety. There's Giffords, there's

442
00:45:32.630 --> 00:45:34.580
Tad Eggleston: march for our lives.

443
00:45:35.347 --> 00:45:43.709
Tad Eggleston: Aclu, you know there's a lot of value in giving to the places that

444
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:53.509
Tad Eggleston: aren't necessarily doing the political work, but are doing the work that's not being done. I mean, Trevor project is more important than ever right now, because.

445
00:45:53.950 --> 00:46:02.880
Tad Eggleston: yeah, Federal aid for trans people is all but nonexistent right now.

446
00:46:03.220 --> 00:46:03.600
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

447
00:46:03.600 --> 00:46:11.630
Tad Eggleston: there are people inside the system working to make that not true. And there's there's a lawsuit that's technically

448
00:46:11.740 --> 00:46:21.030
Tad Eggleston: put a stay on the order that sort of thing. But like they're a massive target. And the Trevor Trevor project is is

449
00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:27.920
Tad Eggleston: like one of the the biggest organizations

450
00:46:28.050 --> 00:46:31.330
Tad Eggleston: devoted to to mental health and assistance

451
00:46:32.090 --> 00:46:34.789
Tad Eggleston: for for trans and queer youth.

452
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:45.580
Tad Eggleston: There are many others I mean, really, really, my biggest recommendation right now is like.

453
00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:51.130
Tad Eggleston: give and do whatever you can wherever you can.

454
00:46:53.760 --> 00:47:01.949
Tad Eggleston: only trying not to get screwed, cause I'm certain that there are some people out there that are going. Oh.

455
00:47:02.680 --> 00:47:17.420
Tad Eggleston: the the lefts are are going nuts right now. This is the perfect time to get them to buy stuff. I mean, I'm I'm willing to bet that like 80% of the people who made and and sold Maga gear weren't Maga.

456
00:47:18.630 --> 00:47:18.990
Tyler Johnson: Right.

457
00:47:18.990 --> 00:47:21.680
Tad Eggleston: They saw an opportunity.

458
00:47:23.580 --> 00:47:33.680
Tad Eggleston: so I mean, that's that's my thing is like use, use common sense, and and do a little bit of research rather than just clicking the link that shows up in your feed.

459
00:47:34.266 --> 00:47:37.759
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. But other than that, anything and everything

460
00:47:38.040 --> 00:47:48.050
Tad Eggleston: try, you know. Stay tuned in as much as you can handle for your mental health, so that you can see when there are opportunities to do something.

461
00:47:48.260 --> 00:47:55.650
Tad Eggleston: I know it's hard, which is, why like don't do it if it destroys you. But, like, figure out what level destroys you

462
00:47:57.100 --> 00:48:22.500
Tad Eggleston: right rather than just going. Oh, I can't handle any of it. Okay, the TV news drives you nuts. But are there news, you know? Can you read Heather Richardson? Can you read J. Kuo? Can you read Joyce Vance, can you read Spencer Ackerman or Jonathan Katz? Can you read the Contrarian, you know? Are there ways to control the information more in terms of

463
00:48:23.020 --> 00:48:31.369
Tad Eggleston: how you take it in, and at what speed, while while still allowing you to know what's going on.

464
00:48:33.810 --> 00:48:48.189
Tad Eggleston: because you never know when you're going to go. Oh, wait a minute. I can do something about this, or Oh, there's a rally in my neighborhood. I can go show up, or oh, that seems like a great organization. I'm going to give my money there.

465
00:48:48.190 --> 00:48:48.840
Tyler Johnson: Right.

466
00:48:49.170 --> 00:49:00.440
Tad Eggleston: You know, the worst thing that could possibly happen is that at some point we wake up and realize that we're a full on dictatorship, and like half the people realizing it.

467
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:04.829
Tad Eggleston: didn't even really realize it was coming.

468
00:49:05.220 --> 00:49:06.030
Tyler Johnson: I know.

469
00:49:06.250 --> 00:49:07.790
Tyler Johnson: And that's what's happening.

470
00:49:09.190 --> 00:49:11.860
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, talk to your friends.

471
00:49:12.420 --> 00:49:21.200
Tad Eggleston: Have the uncomfortable conversations. Don't necessarily do it in a way that's shaming or likely to end the friendship, but like

472
00:49:22.250 --> 00:49:30.030
Tad Eggleston: push back against the idea that all things that are tangentially related to politics shouldn't be discussed.

473
00:49:30.030 --> 00:49:30.780
Tyler Johnson: Right.

474
00:49:31.780 --> 00:49:35.019
Tad Eggleston: Because really, why is health care? Politics.

475
00:49:36.120 --> 00:49:36.670
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

476
00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:44.860
Tad Eggleston: Why is being nice to people politics, you know.

477
00:49:44.860 --> 00:49:46.360
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I agree.

478
00:49:46.910 --> 00:49:49.620
Tad Eggleston: So that's those are my thoughts.

479
00:49:49.620 --> 00:49:50.360
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

480
00:49:50.580 --> 00:49:53.339
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, well, yeah, you is definitely a big one.

481
00:49:53.680 --> 00:49:54.010
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

482
00:49:54.686 --> 00:49:59.530
Tad Eggleston: Just because they're on the ground. Public citizens doing a lot of lawsuits, too.

483
00:50:00.295 --> 00:50:07.099
Tad Eggleston: And the lawsuits are necessary, even even as I fear that that the Administration isn't following

484
00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:13.440
Tad Eggleston: isn't following the decisions of them.

485
00:50:14.256 --> 00:50:16.240
Tad Eggleston: It creates a record.

486
00:50:17.180 --> 00:50:24.900
Tad Eggleston: Creating a record at I mean, I hate to say it, but we're at the point where, like half of what we can do is create a record.

487
00:50:27.350 --> 00:50:27.980
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

488
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:33.810
Tad Eggleston: You know we're past the point where where there are easy things to do. We don't have Congress.

489
00:50:35.430 --> 00:50:36.360
Tyler Johnson: Exactly.

490
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:39.969
Tyler Johnson: We don't have the courts. No, we don't have the white house.

491
00:50:41.775 --> 00:50:49.770
Tad Eggleston: So I mean, yeah, that's my thoughts. But let's talk. Concrete. Concrete's more interesting right now.

492
00:50:49.770 --> 00:50:53.369
Tyler Johnson: It's more fun that's for sure. So.

493
00:50:53.370 --> 00:50:58.429
Tad Eggleston: We got 2 very different stories here, both of them really cool.

494
00:51:00.430 --> 00:51:01.340
Tyler Johnson: You know.

495
00:51:01.740 --> 00:51:07.380
Tad Eggleston: The 1st one was essentially the the how to make a movie and use concrete as your

496
00:51:08.470 --> 00:51:09.970
Tad Eggleston: heavy lifting.

497
00:51:11.750 --> 00:51:21.250
Tyler Johnson: He gets thrown in that role a lot right where where it's like we could just get concrete to do it. And then, you know. Then they're all set

498
00:51:25.460 --> 00:51:32.520
Tad Eggleston: And then the second one was kind of the the and the introduction. Paul Chadwick

499
00:51:32.910 --> 00:51:36.019
Tad Eggleston: wrote about wanting to do kind of a Diehard type thing.

500
00:51:37.390 --> 00:51:49.030
Tad Eggleston: And it was, you know, it was essentially like Larry gets kidnapped as part of a gas station robbery.

501
00:51:49.780 --> 00:51:50.180
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

502
00:51:50.180 --> 00:52:03.917
Tad Eggleston: most of it is, is Larry trying to figure out how to get free and concrete, trying to figure out where the hell Larry is for first, st because he's upset that Larry wasn't there to pick him up, but eventually picking up on. Oh, wait a minute

503
00:52:04.770 --> 00:52:05.690
Tad Eggleston: wrong.

504
00:52:06.340 --> 00:52:12.930
Tyler Johnson: Yes, exactly like, and we both things that I go ahead.

505
00:52:13.510 --> 00:52:16.649
Tad Eggleston: I was saying in both stories. It's kind of cool that he took

506
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:27.840
Tad Eggleston: took like something else, the making of a movie, A,

507
00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:35.419
Tad Eggleston: or, you know, a robbery and thrilling thing, and went, okay, I've created this weird character

508
00:52:35.620 --> 00:52:39.580
Tad Eggleston: that's not human, but not really a superhero. So.

509
00:52:40.160 --> 00:52:41.220
Tad Eggleston: What?

510
00:52:42.630 --> 00:52:44.940
Tad Eggleston: How could you inject him into this story?

511
00:52:45.050 --> 00:52:50.140
Tyler Johnson: You know, the previous stories have been more about. I've got this weird character. That's.

512
00:52:50.520 --> 00:52:55.259
Tad Eggleston: Not human, but not really a superhero. How would he decide to live his life?

513
00:52:56.240 --> 00:53:07.810
Tad Eggleston: But these 2 are more. How would he react to opportunities given to him, right friends in need.

514
00:53:08.200 --> 00:53:08.770
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

515
00:53:09.358 --> 00:53:14.279
Tad Eggleston: What would be his, his limitations? What would be his strengths? That sort?

516
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:14.610
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

517
00:53:14.610 --> 00:53:16.019
Tad Eggleston: And it's cool.

518
00:53:16.200 --> 00:53:16.910
Tyler Johnson: Is it.

519
00:53:17.060 --> 00:53:18.266
Tad Eggleston: You know

520
00:53:18.870 --> 00:53:31.340
Tyler Johnson: You noticed that at the beginning of each story or each volume the way that they put in a tiny little concrete that's holding the sign for the title.

521
00:53:32.730 --> 00:53:37.084
Tyler Johnson: let's see. Volume 4, for example, the gas station scene.

522
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:43.889
Tyler Johnson: in front of the pumps. There's a tiny concrete standing there with the one that says, Killer, smile, part one.

523
00:53:46.110 --> 00:53:47.459
Tad Eggleston: Let me see.

524
00:53:47.460 --> 00:53:55.009
Tyler Johnson: It's kind of fun. They did it in the previous volumes, too. But, they're just kind of little. This one's kind of pretty noticeable. But

525
00:53:56.870 --> 00:54:05.339
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess I only kind of noticed that concrete was part of the the logo. But I did notice that there was kind of a

526
00:54:05.740 --> 00:54:09.300
Tad Eggleston: design to the way they did each chapter. Page.

527
00:54:09.720 --> 00:54:10.340
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

528
00:54:10.630 --> 00:54:11.080
Tad Eggleston: No.

529
00:54:11.080 --> 00:54:14.203
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's cool. I'm really enjoying it.

530
00:54:14.650 --> 00:54:18.780
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I mean it. Chadwick is showing

531
00:54:19.540 --> 00:54:25.340
Tad Eggleston: both a a really versatile ability to

532
00:54:25.930 --> 00:54:35.619
Tad Eggleston: tell stories. You know different types of stories. And you know this twist of putting this incredibly odd character into the middle of them.

533
00:54:36.370 --> 00:54:47.879
Tyler Johnson: Right. At 1st I was like, what kind of a story are we gonna tell here? Because this is like we talked about last week like this has kind of been done before with the thing and not.

534
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:52.060
Tad Eggleston: Not entirely, because again, the thing was always more of a superhero.

535
00:54:52.310 --> 00:54:59.290
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. And and and like Chadwick from the beginning is like, but why is the thing a superhero.

536
00:54:59.290 --> 00:55:00.120
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

537
00:55:00.670 --> 00:55:03.695
Tad Eggleston: That only kind of makes sense.

538
00:55:04.580 --> 00:55:07.332
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, exactly. And this guy's like,

539
00:55:08.250 --> 00:55:13.120
Tad Eggleston: Wrong. But why does does that automatically make him like not.

540
00:55:13.120 --> 00:55:13.460
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, look.

541
00:55:13.460 --> 00:55:17.109
Tad Eggleston: Clumsy, or agile, or.

542
00:55:18.120 --> 00:55:20.510
Tyler Johnson: I mean, he's just a lumbering piece of rock.

543
00:55:20.510 --> 00:55:21.170
Tad Eggleston: Right.

544
00:55:23.990 --> 00:55:30.760
Tyler Johnson: it's interesting. I love the art style. I love it that there's not a lot of like shading. I mean, it's like just pure black and white.

545
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:34.329
Tad Eggleston: Really, really good at using shadows.

546
00:55:34.330 --> 00:55:34.720
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

547
00:55:34.810 --> 00:55:39.679
Tad Eggleston: Really good at panel design breaking panels.

548
00:55:40.404 --> 00:55:43.449
Tad Eggleston: I like his use of thought Bubbles.

549
00:55:45.150 --> 00:55:47.910
Tyler Johnson: Which we don't see enough anymore.

550
00:55:48.230 --> 00:56:03.949
Tyler Johnson: No, you know a lot of times like they're trying to be more creative with their exposition in lately, right? Not using just thought bubbles. And, like Jonathan Hippman, really likes doing those long, long data pages.

551
00:56:03.950 --> 00:56:08.870
Tad Eggleston: You know I mean I love that, too. But but what I don't like is that like.

552
00:56:08.870 --> 00:56:09.480
Tyler Johnson: Let's see.

553
00:56:12.600 --> 00:56:17.930
Tad Eggleston: As so often is the case, it's like, oh, thought Bubble's not the best way to do this.

554
00:56:19.690 --> 00:56:30.700
Tad Eggleston: So we're not doing thought Bubbles anymore rather than thought bubbles not always the best way to do this. So let me think about when the thought bubble makes sense versus when it doesn't make sense

555
00:56:30.700 --> 00:56:31.140
Tad Eggleston: right?

556
00:56:31.140 --> 00:56:36.894
Tad Eggleston: I'm looking at right now. Are your you know the the

557
00:56:39.230 --> 00:56:46.279
Tad Eggleston: The 2 criminals are having their conversation.

558
00:56:46.470 --> 00:56:47.050
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

559
00:56:47.600 --> 00:56:51.889
Tad Eggleston: And Larry is thinking.

560
00:56:53.480 --> 00:57:04.630
Tad Eggleston: You know, it wouldn't work as well as exposition, particularly because there is exposition that's not entirely thought Bubbles.

561
00:57:05.770 --> 00:57:08.659
Tad Eggleston: or not entirely thoughts, you know.

562
00:57:10.650 --> 00:57:28.460
Tad Eggleston: and he's clearly not going to say this stuff out loud. But it's not a and you know you can see some of it, but it's they're not really thought bubbles that are replacing the art. I mean, most of the slams on thought bubbles are. They're being used in a place where you could use a narrator.

563
00:57:31.850 --> 00:57:37.360
Tad Eggleston: Or the art should show what they're what they're putting out.

564
00:57:37.560 --> 00:57:41.609
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. But like, I'm looking at the panel on page 33, where where?

565
00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:48.380
Tad Eggleston: She says that was awful, he says. Sorry, darling, but you know I love to watch them squirm.

566
00:57:48.680 --> 00:57:54.550
Tad Eggleston: and Larry's like I'd better rethink this. He is a psycho.

567
00:57:54.670 --> 00:58:05.260
Tad Eggleston: right as he's hunched over so like the hunched over does show that. Oh, God, I'm I'm like not at all confident. But

568
00:58:08.580 --> 00:58:16.010
Tad Eggleston: you know he he had been making an out loud argument to the guy previously, that

569
00:58:16.890 --> 00:58:25.820
Tad Eggleston: you're not a psycho, and the guy's like, how do you know I'm not a psycho so.

570
00:58:26.590 --> 00:58:37.139
Tad Eggleston: and for that matter again, I mean the whole time he got I turned back to 31, and Larry's driving, and he just he just been thinking about

571
00:58:40.910 --> 00:58:47.120
Tad Eggleston: Oh, he just said, Hey, put me in a storage locker with food and water, and then then you can call when

572
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:49.349
Tad Eggleston: and then he's like, Oh, wait a minute.

573
00:58:49.630 --> 00:58:54.679
Tad Eggleston: The Exxon executive in New Jersey died that way. Bad idea.

574
00:58:54.840 --> 00:58:56.136
Tyler Johnson: No, don't do that.

575
00:58:56.460 --> 00:59:07.989
Tad Eggleston: So it's like he's showing that he's just clutching his straws, and maybe even stuff that he read in the news. But like, after it came out of his mouth. He went, oh, wait a minute! But the story ended badly.

576
00:59:09.660 --> 00:59:12.320
Tad Eggleston: And there's no good way to show that, except a thought bubble.

577
00:59:12.740 --> 00:59:14.900
Tyler Johnson: Right, you know.

578
00:59:14.900 --> 00:59:18.740
Tyler Johnson: I agree. I think they should be interspersed with the other things.

579
00:59:18.740 --> 00:59:20.010
Tad Eggleston: Right, so so.

580
00:59:20.010 --> 00:59:21.340
Tyler Johnson: As where it's appropriate.

581
00:59:21.340 --> 00:59:22.030
Tad Eggleston: Me.

582
00:59:22.200 --> 00:59:26.370
Tad Eggleston: I'm really impressed with Chadwick's storytelling.

583
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:31.229
Tad Eggleston: Whether it's cop car in the rearview mirror.

584
00:59:31.810 --> 00:59:35.640
Tad Eggleston: you know, close-ups on the eyes, you know.

585
00:59:35.750 --> 00:59:44.050
Tad Eggleston: he's just lots of different angles that manage to show you a really rich environment.

586
00:59:44.240 --> 00:59:54.369
Tyler Johnson: For sure, like I I'm just really impressed with the clarity of the characters a lot of times with this kind of

587
00:59:54.950 --> 01:00:05.169
Tyler Johnson: artwork. It's easy to make all the women look the same, and all the men have. You know what I mean. And so this this is great, is, there's

588
01:00:05.540 --> 01:00:11.749
Tyler Johnson: definite characteristics for each person that you don't have to guess who it is. So.

589
01:00:12.780 --> 01:00:17.160
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, no, I continue to really enjoy

590
01:00:17.620 --> 01:00:23.880
Tad Eggleston: the reeds I'm looking. We're gonna we're gonna try to shoot the moon for next week and do 3 of them.

591
01:00:25.109 --> 01:00:33.490
Tad Eggleston: Which makes me really happy that I hit that good stopping point in in one piece.

592
01:00:33.910 --> 01:00:39.811
Tyler Johnson: So maybe you could take a break on one piece. I could catch up a little.

593
01:00:40.180 --> 01:00:45.730
Tad Eggleston: That might happen. I'm not promising anything but that could happen. It is a race dude.

594
01:00:45.730 --> 01:00:46.689
Tyler Johnson: I know, I know.

595
01:00:46.690 --> 01:00:47.919
Tad Eggleston: I wouldn't, you know.

596
01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:48.679
Tyler Johnson: I hate that.

597
01:00:48.680 --> 01:00:52.380
Tad Eggleston: Funny if I wound up lapping you like, I know, like

598
01:00:52.380 --> 01:00:56.089
Tad Eggleston: I finish. And you haven't gotten to Chapter 1,000 yet.

599
01:00:56.996 --> 01:01:00.620
Tyler Johnson: That would be funny.

600
01:01:00.620 --> 01:01:03.350
Tad Eggleston: You have a lot to read for book clubs this week.

601
01:01:03.350 --> 01:01:03.730
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

602
01:01:03.730 --> 01:01:07.159
Tad Eggleston: I still have a volume and a half of of

603
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:20.669
Tad Eggleston: Tom King and Tim Seeley's Grayson to read for tonight I have 4 kids walk into a bank to read for tomorrow. I have Black sad to read for for next Sunday, so like

604
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:27.970
Tad Eggleston: there's reason to believe that I won't get to a lot of one piece, particularly with 3 volumes of concrete to read.

605
01:01:28.330 --> 01:01:30.020
Tyler Johnson: Totally understandable.

606
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:32.221
Tyler Johnson: We'll see how it goes.

607
01:01:32.490 --> 01:01:32.840
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

608
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:40.199
Tyler Johnson: We may both get to Thursday or Friday and be like, where are you in one p. Or in concrete? Are you? Are you even close to the 3.rd

609
01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:48.819
Tad Eggleston: Also possible that that is also possible, though honestly, I mean, I have to finish.

610
01:01:53.900 --> 01:01:58.799
Tad Eggleston: I have to finish the Grayson first.st

611
01:01:58.800 --> 01:01:59.180
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

612
01:01:59.180 --> 01:02:11.489
Tad Eggleston: And then revisit 4 kids walking to a bank. But after that I'm going to be working concrete because concrete initially came out of Britt's Cabinet, you know. At least one volume of concrete will be

613
01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:20.340
Tad Eggleston: our next read for Brit's Cabinet. Yeah. And right now it's tentatively volume 6 hmm.

614
01:02:20.340 --> 01:02:26.170
Tad Eggleston: But because that's what he has physically in his cabinet, and therefore what? What

615
01:02:26.720 --> 01:02:36.470
Tad Eggleston: kicked this off? But one of the reasons I wanted to read all of this stuff was to decide if there was a volume that I thought would be a better one for our discussion.

616
01:02:36.630 --> 01:02:38.170
Tyler Johnson: So for Brits cabin. Yeah.

617
01:02:38.170 --> 01:02:39.460
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

618
01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:40.340
Tyler Johnson: Makes sense.

619
01:02:40.340 --> 01:02:43.420
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah, that's that's a.

620
01:02:43.700 --> 01:02:44.580
Tyler Johnson: That's it.

621
01:02:44.580 --> 01:02:49.699
Tad Eggleston: That. That's why I could could wind up reading all of the concrete today.

622
01:02:50.860 --> 01:02:56.749
Tyler Johnson: Good Lord! It could happen, I suppose. That would be a lot.

623
01:02:56.750 --> 01:03:03.069
Tad Eggleston: I've read everything that I need to read for Duane Moore at 2 already.

624
01:03:06.070 --> 01:03:07.530
Tad Eggleston: So you know

625
01:03:08.250 --> 01:03:15.809
Tad Eggleston: it's possible, and tomorrow's President's day. So I have the day off. Now I am going down in the city to go to challengers and see Johnny, but

626
01:03:16.260 --> 01:03:19.089
Tad Eggleston: that doesn't mean that I won't manage to do

627
01:03:19.250 --> 01:03:21.290
Tad Eggleston: my share of reading as well.

628
01:03:21.900 --> 01:03:22.920
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's cool.

629
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:23.540
Tad Eggleston: So.

630
01:03:24.190 --> 01:03:27.929
Tyler Johnson: Will be helping with my wife's daycare, so I usually.

631
01:03:27.930 --> 01:03:33.960
Tad Eggleston: You and the need to make money. I got my sugar, mama.

632
01:03:34.870 --> 01:03:36.290
Tad Eggleston: He's an art teacher.

633
01:03:36.290 --> 01:03:36.630
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

634
01:03:36.630 --> 01:03:41.290
Tad Eggleston: Oh, wait! You're an art teacher, too. How come? You're not the sugar, Daddy. You're an art teacher.

635
01:03:41.667 --> 01:03:51.099
Tyler Johnson: It's tough. It's tough, you know, between, I mean, her and I both have part time jobs. I tutor a kid it's just crazy.

636
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:52.330
Tad Eggleston: Right.

637
01:03:52.665 --> 01:03:55.680
Tyler Johnson: Anyway, suppose we should move on to 3 books.

638
01:03:55.680 --> 01:03:56.200
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

639
01:03:56.200 --> 01:03:58.130
Tyler Johnson: Will be spectacular. What do you think.

640
01:03:58.740 --> 01:04:04.229
Tad Eggleston: I got I had well, 4 that stood out. Yeah,

641
01:04:05.080 --> 01:04:11.780
Tad Eggleston: though. There were a bunch of other good ones, because we got more question all along the watchtower next week we got more.

642
01:04:11.780 --> 01:04:12.260
Tad Eggleston: This is

643

Tad Eggleston: of Oz. Next week we got more milestone universe, shadow cabinet next week. Godzilla heist starts next week. Howl number 2 next week. Holy roller number 9. So the end of Holy roller is next week.

01:04:26.230 --> 01:04:29.880
Tad Eggleston: Eve, unix exceptional X-men is next week.

645

648
01:04:40.430 --> 01:04:49.049
Tad Eggleston: There's a lot of good shit next week, which is why it's also funny that we both have. We have crossover in our list because.

649
01:04:49.050 --> 01:04:52.310
Tyler Johnson: I didn't even look at yours, and then I just did. I'm like, Oh, man.

650
01:04:52.840 --> 01:05:19.050
Tad Eggleston: So my top book is spectrum number 3 from Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm at Mad Cave. It's music. It's mental health. It's Dave Chisholm. I'm loving it, loving it, loving it. My second book and the one that will reappear on your book is, I just can't wait to see where Chris Condon and Alessandro Capuccio are taking ultimate wolverine, and the second issue comes out

651
01:05:19.220 --> 01:05:27.110
Tad Eggleston: on Wednesday, and then the Tom King double feature of the concluding issue of Jenny Sparks, number 7, yeah.

653
01:05:41.950 --> 01:05:44.659
Tyler Johnson: Your number 3 is actually a 3 and 4.

654
01:05:45.979 --> 01:05:51.619
Tyler Johnson: Okay, I, yeah. Ultimate wolverine ended on such a great place on

655
01:05:52.260 --> 01:06:02.602
Tyler Johnson: issue number one that I've been waiting patiently for. Issue number 2 from Chris Condon and Alessandro Capuccio. I better put for marvel down here.

656
01:06:03.590 --> 01:06:10.890
Tyler Johnson: and then epitest from the abyss, number 8 from Stephanie Phillips, Brendan Hay, Joshua Hale.

657
01:06:11.260 --> 01:06:17.699
Tyler Johnson: Balkov, Valerie, Burzo, Pj. Holden, John Mcrae, and Andrea Sorrentino from.

658
01:06:17.700 --> 01:06:18.090
Tad Eggleston: That's.

659
01:06:18.090 --> 01:06:18.420
Tyler Johnson: The owner.

660
01:06:18.420 --> 01:06:23.519
Tad Eggleston: Fantastic group of talent forward to that one too.

661
01:06:23.720 --> 01:06:34.519
Tyler Johnson: Andrea Sorrentino is one of my favorite artists. He's so good and then let this one be a devil number one from James Tiny and the 4, th and Steve Fox and Peter Kowalski

662
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:37.789
Tyler Johnson: very much looking forward to those books.

663
01:06:40.690 --> 01:06:41.800
Tyler Johnson: Alright! Yep.

664
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:46.740
Tad Eggleston: Another good week, because comics are far from dead.

665
01:06:47.190 --> 01:06:52.190
Tyler Johnson: Right. That is good news, you know that you're saying only press. And who else was hiring.

666
01:06:52.730 --> 01:06:53.810
Tad Eggleston: Mad Cave.

667
01:06:53.810 --> 01:06:55.350
Tyler Johnson: Mad cave. That's great!

668
01:06:55.630 --> 01:07:04.219
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Mag continues to to rock the world, and I'm in favor of that, because they've been doing some seriously good shit.

669
01:07:05.450 --> 01:07:06.190
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

670
01:07:07.510 --> 01:07:08.770
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah.

671
01:07:08.770 --> 01:07:13.322
Tyler Johnson: Awesome. Well, I gotta get going. I'm gonna go with my wife to church. So

672
01:07:13.930 --> 01:07:22.839
Tad Eggleston: That's another week in the books, and hey, we got out at like a little more than an hour this time. So I think I think definitely the truncated

673
01:07:24.530 --> 01:07:25.850
Tyler Johnson: Reading. Helps, yeah.

674
01:07:25.850 --> 01:07:27.980
Tad Eggleston: Reading will continue.

675
01:07:28.692 --> 01:07:30.170
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's cool.

676
01:07:30.625 --> 01:07:39.949
Tad Eggleston: And then the other thing, I'm gonna toss it out there. Maybe you're still recording the the whole list to drop in right.

677
01:07:39.950 --> 01:07:40.560
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

678
01:07:41.100 --> 01:07:44.520
Tad Eggleston: So maybe starting next month. What do you say?

679
01:07:45.020 --> 01:07:50.539
Tad Eggleston: We pick any given week? We each do 2 series.

680
01:07:51.230 --> 01:07:58.510
Tad Eggleston: 2 graphic novels and one collection, and the other, you know the things we don't get to in the month.

681
01:07:59.220 --> 01:08:04.360
Tad Eggleston: They're in the list, so they get listed every week. They just don't get the deeper description.

682
01:08:04.750 --> 01:08:06.010
Tyler Johnson: Okay, that'll work.

683
01:08:06.290 --> 01:08:07.390
Tad Eggleston: Does that sound good.

684
01:08:07.620 --> 01:08:08.550
Tyler Johnson: Perfect. Yeah.

685
01:08:08.550 --> 01:08:12.649
Tad Eggleston: Because that's just I just, I feel like we need to tighten things up just a little bit.

686
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:14.770
Tyler Johnson: What's your.

687
01:08:14.770 --> 01:08:20.880
Tad Eggleston: For no other reason than so we don't always have to be rushing our our great responsibility. Discussion.

688
01:08:21.100 --> 01:08:23.180
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I hear you.

689
01:08:23.439 --> 01:08:28.609
Tyler Johnson: We could also rearrange. So the great responsibility is sooner.

690
01:08:28.899 --> 01:08:29.229
Tad Eggleston: We could.

691
01:08:31.250 --> 01:08:32.560
Tad Eggleston: I'll think about that.

692
01:08:33.020 --> 01:08:37.599
Tyler Johnson: Okay, I kind of like the overall flow, except for.

693
01:08:38.770 --> 01:08:41.690
Tad Eggleston: How long we're taking highlighting books.

694
01:08:42.020 --> 01:08:43.450
Tad Eggleston: Does that make sense.

695
01:08:43.450 --> 01:08:44.149
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

696
01:08:44.390 --> 01:08:52.790
Tad Eggleston: So I think overall. I prefer to to tighten that than to rearrange.

697
01:08:54.790 --> 01:09:02.089
Tad Eggleston: because it just makes sense. It's like we start off with news, and and then we move into. Here's the stuff that's coming

698
01:09:02.290 --> 01:09:03.550
Tad Eggleston: in a while.

699
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:06.229
Tad Eggleston: And then, yeah stuff that's

700
01:09:06.370 --> 01:09:12.799
Tad Eggleston: coming in less of a while, because his final order, cut off or crowdfunding. And then

701
01:09:13.310 --> 01:09:18.590
Tad Eggleston: this is the stuff we loved last week, I mean, I guess.

702
01:09:19.100 --> 01:09:24.909
Tad Eggleston: because it's later. I mean, we could actually move it to the end of the episode.

703
