Much of Galveston's economy is centered in the tourism, health care, shipping, and financial industries. The 84-acre (34 ha) University of Texas Medical Branch campus with an enrollment of more than 2,500 students is a major economic force of the city. Galveston is home to six historic districts containing one of the largest historically significant collections of 19th-century buildings in the U.S., with over 60 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, maintained by the National Park Service in the United States Department of the Interior.

(00:00):
Got to talk fast. Got to talk fast.
Got to talk faster, faster, faster.
Got to talk fast. I took a little trip down to
Galveston because I was like, this is probably a place that's
not going to exist much longer either due to like a hurricane
(00:20):
swiping it off a map or the rising of sea levels or
whatever. What other other natural
disaster you want to or you know, man made?
Who knows, maybe we just accidentally drop a shuttle on
it based on how SpaceX is going.So I went over there.
It's fine. It it's pretty.
(00:42):
It's not a place I would ever want to live.
Galvinson seems like it would have been like a really cool rad
place to be poor in like the 70s.
It, it has a vibe of like a lot of things were built in the 80s
and never really like up capped.And so it seems like that's when
it was like in its heyday. And then everything new, you can
(01:04):
tell it's old and new because all the new stuff is on stilts,
which is also maybe if a place needs to be built on stilts, we
shouldn't live there. But what do I know?
But the thing that's frustratingabout Galvinson I I went to the
National State Park, walked around.
It's not a great State Park. It's just a swamp.
(01:24):
It's a reminder that Houston wasbuilt on a swamp.
It's also a good, it's a good nature place.
It's a good like you know, for the ecosystem it needs to be.
It's just because it's protecteddoesn't means it needs to be.
I agree. I, I feel like they shouldn't
even attempt to have people there because it's not up capped
or anything, right? Because I, I went on the trail
(01:47):
and they're like, Oh yeah, here's like a little bridge that
connects trails and stuff. I go to the bridge and it's just
completely destroyed. They use the thing that was
weird for me. And this isn't like a criticism.
Maybe it is. People were using that area to
like fish and like catch crab. And at first I was like, well,
(02:09):
that seems like you shouldn't beallowed to do that in like a
nature preserve. But then I looked at my map that
I got and they're like, this is the best place to like get
crabs. And I'm like, oh, so they're
encouraging this. So whatever.
It's all very swampy, very boring to look at, but
apparently it's got if you're inthe birding.
(02:31):
It seems like it's a really coolbirding spot, but I'm not.
I'm not into birds, but the thing that was.
Really fucking you. Just you just said in the last
sonograms that you wanted to be a bird if you could.
Be an animal, want it? Be a bird I don't want to look
at though. They're all the same to me, man.
(02:54):
I get it. You got wings, you can fly.
I would if I could choose to be an animal.
It's you. But I don't need to see this.
The thing that's really fucking dumb about Galveston is they did
the thing that Chicago did, which I fucking hate, is they
pretty much made like a Lakeshore Dr. which is they have
a highway going all the way along the beach, and that
(03:17):
highway separates the beach fromeverything else.
And so you go to these restaurants that are like, Oh
yeah, we're on the beach, but the beach means you're sitting
on a, I guess it's technically not a highway, but it's a major
Rd. where the speed limit is like 40 something mph.
(03:40):
And so you're just sitting. Yeah, I know.
And so I went to a place, it's very good.
It was called Nick's. Did I go there because of the
name? I don't know, maybe.
But I went had their shrimp platter.
It was very delicious. I, I, I enjoyed it very much and
I was like, I'll go sit outside and sitting outside means I'm
(04:01):
like sitting like not even 10 feet away from like 40 mile per
hour traffic. And then the thing that's really
crazy and it makes no sense is they have parking all along this
major St. and the parking is alllike parallel parking.
(04:22):
So if you if it's busy and you want to park in one of these
spots, you actually have to stopthe traffic on the 40 mile per
hour Rd. because you got to go park up and do like a parallel
park and slide into your spot. And so the traffic is fucking
insane. It's the beach was nice.
(04:43):
I went, took a walk on the beach.
I went to the National Park beach and paid $5 to go hang
out. And then I was just like, I paid
for this beach. I'm going to go explore the
other National Park. And that was just a swamp and
like kind, it's like swamp and Prairie lands.
And I'm like, I've seen, I'm from Illinois.
I've seen enough prairies in my time.
(05:04):
And yeah, so I walked there for like an hour.
It's it's to the point here in in in the Prairie State that
whenever I see a hill like more than 10 feet tall, I'm like, oh,
elevation. Hell yeah.
Yeah, No, show me hills There's,I haven't seen a lot of hills
here in where I'm at in Texas. I'm sure there's plenty
elsewhere, nature area. I mean, if I have time, I'm
(05:28):
going to go check out the Sam Houston National Park.
I hear that's cool. So maybe, maybe I'll be more
impressed with that. I am a little hesitant only
because they're like, Oh yeah, there's a bunch of Gators there.
And I know in my heart of heartsit's fine.
I'm not scared of Gators. I know if you don't like provoke
them, they're not looking at you, but that.
(05:50):
One kid at Disney World. I don't know what you're talking
about, I would love to hear more.
There was a kid, this is actually very tragic and sad, a
kid at Disney World. He was on the the child was at
the Disney World like beach areaand that child got got snatched
up and killed by a a Gator. It was, yeah.
But I'm not a kid, so I'll be Ohyeah, that's horrible.
(06:14):
It's. One of those rare instances
where someone die actually died at Disney World.
Rare. I thought that happened all the
time. It does happen all the time, but
Disney World tries unsuccessfully several times to
make sure they don't die at Disney World.
Oh yeah, well, or they make sureyou have a Disney Plus account
so that. Yes, that story.
(06:35):
Jesus Christ. For those who don't know, I, I'm
sure it was like all over the news, but Disney tried arguing
that. What was it?
People waive their rights when they're in Disney World.
When you have Disney Plus for I,I don't remember the wave.
Contest the specific rights and it was it was just really funny
(06:56):
it. Was.
Like, yeah, very. I'm not surprised.
I'm really not surprised that they tried that.
Yeah, I mean, those and Disney lawyers are famous for being cut
throat, so it made sense. We're stalling because I'm
writing a script. Are you?
I'm good, I'm good. Now see, if I if you could write
(07:17):
a script as fast as that, we we'd be on issue 200 by now.
Jeez Louise, get good, Nick. Come on.
Welcome to an overview of ArchieComics Sonic the Hedgehog
reminding you to memorize phone numbers.
We often rely on our smartphone contacts being right there, but
you may not always have it, especially if you're arrested.
(07:39):
Oh my God. Prioritize people you can
absolutely trust as well as legal advocacy groups.
Here in Chicagoland, the National Lawyers Guild has been
present at protests as legal observers and their hotline is
404-458-9449. Have a back up plan to do if
you're arrested? Shut the fuck up and prepare for
(08:01):
that emotionally. I'm Nick and except for this
intro, I wrote the script. And I'm Dominic, and except for
this intro, I haven't read any of today's script.
And emphasizing if you were arrested, shut the fuck up.
Yeah, don't say Jack shit. Don't say Jack shit, especially
if they're being nice to you because that it is immediately
assume it is a trap. The National Lawyers Guild who I
(08:24):
mentioned there, they actually, they specifically put out a
video for the DNC last year. But there's one thing that
hasn't changed over 50 years, something that is so important
to tell you kids who are new to this movement, shut the fuck up.
You're sitting in the police transport van after a protest.
Shut the fuck up in a holding cell with your comrades.
(08:45):
Shut the fuck up, cop knocks on your door.
Shut the fuck up. Texting on an unsecured device.
Shut the fuck up. Pulled over by the cops after a
protest. Shut the fuck up cop.
Just asking about your day. Shut the fuck up Feds, call your
mom. Tell your mother to shut the
fuck up. Now repeat after me.
(09:06):
When the cops come calling, whatdo you do?
Shut the phone up. Here in Chicagoland, Italy, I
think they're national, of course.
But here in Chicagoland, they'vebeen very present.
And they often have these brightneon green hats.
They're called the green hats. And they are very, they're,
they're very good to have. They're a good backup.
(09:27):
But in the case, I mean, it's tothe point where that hotline
when people are getting arrestedand they were getting grouped up
at the Paddy wagon. There were some, some protesters
dressed in black, all black gear.
And they would try to get as close to the Paddy wagon as
possible. And they just shouted that
number as many times as they could before the police told
(09:48):
them the fuck off. 872465424 4872 And it's, it's very
important. So and also important, prepare
for being arrested emotionally prepare for it just like goat,
(10:10):
like imagine, use your imagination.
Imagine what it'd be like to be in a very sterile, damp, shitty
ass holding cell detention and just being alone and being
behind bars. Imagine that isn't even if, even
if you do everything right, evenif you're not causing trouble,
arrest does. The police and law enforcement
(10:33):
does not care about any of that for just basic arrest.
So prepare for that emotionally memorized phone numbers,
especially people in your household and the National
Lawyers Guild or any other legaladvocacy group that you can.
And then yeah, shut the fuck. Up if you can't memorize phone
numbers. If you have bad memory like me,
(10:55):
write it down on you. Write it in permanent marker.
On a preferably right before a protest.
Or you could be like us and justhave it all the time and just
like just lift up your shirt and.
Just tattoo it. Oh yeah, that's my dentist all
right. Just that's what I do.
I just, I just have like all important people, just like
tattooed right here. Otherwise, I'd never know.
(11:17):
Specifically upside down too. So if like, yeah.
So I could read it. Yeah, if you're at the beach and
someone takes a photo, it's like, what The why, the why?
Is it all upside down? No, that's really funny.
You know, at first I was like, Iwas going to be like a little
judge mental of like not memorizing phone numbers.
But then I realized I haven't memorized the phone number since
like 2004. And like the only phone numbers
(11:40):
I know that I have memorized, which is granted like the two
most important phone numbers I need to have memorized is
literally my brother's phone number and my mom's phone
number. And so I'm like, if something
happens, I at least have a phonenumber 100% and then I remember
my old home phone number, but that will never come in handy
again because. No more landline.
(12:04):
No more landlines. What are we reading today,
Dominic? We are reading Sonic the
Hedgehog's Buddy Tales miniseries #2 Part 2.
Cover dates January of 1996. Release date November of 1995.
Southern crossover script by Mike Gallagher and penciled by
(12:25):
Dave Banach. As well as on the the preamble,
the intro splash page. Mike Gallagher also does the
some of that penciling. A quick summary of the state of
America. I'm an incredibly fast and loose
Packer. I tend to throw everything into
(12:45):
a suitcase and hope for the best.
Most of the time this works out.Maybe I'll have an extra pair of
socks or one or two two few shirts, but overall my stress
free lifestyle of packing works for me.
I do on occasion miss. My trip to Houston was one of
them. I packed too few many pairs of
underwear and the deodorant I packed just was not cutting it
(13:09):
for the Houston heat. I decided to take a quick 15
minute trip to Walmart to purchase set items and maybe
some snacks to eat in my hotel room.
I arrive and walk towards the deodorant aisle.
Here I discovered that all the deodorant is behind a lock and
key. A gentleman was already here,
already annoyed, and already pushing the call button for a
(13:31):
Walmart employee to assist. By the look of things, he's been
here for a hot Houston minute, but due to my antisocial nature,
I did not ask. We wait in silence as the
overworked and understaffed employees try to make their way
to us. 15 minutes later and a line of six guys, the staff was
(13:51):
finally able to make their way to us.
I opt for Dove Men Plus Care 72 hour protection sport fresh
edition. As I walked to the underwear
section, I think to myself, how does one define 72 hours of
protection? Is it there after I shower?
(14:13):
Sport does imply waterproof, or at the very least water
resistant. However, I don't think I've ever
put on deodorant that has lasted72 hours.
Of course, I'm assuming that theH in 72 hours or 72H means
hours. I I I automatically assumed
hours. You did write 72 H, so kudos to
(14:34):
you, Nick. I'm assuming that the H in 72H
means hours, perhaps I'm wrong. I go to the Walmart product page
for Dove Men Plus Care deodorantand discover that the H does
mean hour. I believe they should change
their product to HR because thatis a more standard abbreviation
for hour. UBU only puts on deodorant once
(14:57):
every three days. I get to the underwear section
of Walmart and discover that this section is also under lock
and key. I push the call button and begin
my weight. As I wait I start thinking about
the implications of this lock and key design.
At the moment the items on lockdown are what is considered
high value targets, which is concerning to say the least that
(15:20):
these products are for cleanliness and not say
electronics or items people can live without.
How long until everything is locked down?
At what point does a store say no, The customer is not allowed
to enter? The customer is not to be
trusted. How long until the only way to
shop is to buy everything on an app and wait for an employee to
(15:43):
bring you your items? After a 30 minute wait, I
finally get my underwear. However, I have more shopping to
do. I am not allowed to hold my
underwear. The employee brings the
underwear to the front of the store, hidden out of sight
behind the register. I go and grab some snacks and
head to the front of the store to check out.
(16:05):
The lines for the registers are obnoxiously long since there's
only three open. However, the self checkout,
while long, is for people with 15 items or less.
I wait. I go to myself, checkout,
register, scan my items, and then talk to the one person
manning the self checkout lanes.I explained to him the situation
(16:27):
about my underwear and he goes on what I presume is a quest
since it takes about 10 minutes for him to find them.
As I stand waiting for my underwear to be found, I watch a
man with a full cart of groceries walk through the
unmanned self checkout lane and then leave without paying.
I watch an envy as this trip probably took a total of 15
(16:49):
minutes. We open on a retelling of past
events through the eyes of Tales's comic book.
Our story so far. Using his amazing detective
skills, Captain or Etcetera discovered Robotnik was sending
a supply blimp, a supply blimp to an underboss in Down Under.
Halfway around Mobius. Tales tracked the blimp battling
(17:13):
deadly SWAT bots, after which heencountered his old enemy
Octobot, whom he easily defeated.
Along the way, he befriended the40 Fathoms Freedom Fighters.
OK, so I'm going to Pulp Fictionthis and interrupt and
congratulate you on that incredible monologue.
Well done I was. Very impressed, very annoyed the
(17:35):
entire time. I I could tell well.
It it took like an hour to get these two fucking items and then
I watched like a dude just stealliterally like $300 worth of
groceries and I'm just sitting there being like I should just
steal everything because what the fuck?
You're a good person. I mean no, I I the guy stealing
groceries was better than me. I should have stolen from
(17:57):
Walmart. Respect, honestly respect from
Walmart. Can't hate on it.
Yeah, I, I don't, I don't care about Walmart.
It was, I was just so fucking pissed 'cause I was like, just
get they, they designed the system in such a fucking way
where it just makes everything take longer.
And it's just something that should take 10 minutes.
(18:20):
Literally took an hour of my life.
And I'm like, why? Why are we doing this?
Why shop here? I might as well just go to
Amazon and fucking ship it to a locker.
And yeah, it's fine. Walgreens, a chicago-based, I
mean it's all over the country, but it's chicago-based,
headquartered. They, they recently came out in
(18:44):
like the past year they came outwith, I think it was earnings
calls and it was like poor. It was, it was quite poor and a
variety of reasons. But everyone was railing on
Walgreens about how, hey, maybe if you just didn't have like the
deodorant and shavers behind lock and screen, maybe you'd be
more inclined. Like if you cared if you gave
(19:05):
less of a shit about shoplifters, which is such a a
drop in the bucket of your losses, then maybe maybe people
would care more. For them, they they do it so
they can put the blame on the consumer.
Yeah. And the consumer and then go for
these, we'll say, Republican talking points as a reason as to
(19:30):
why the stores are failing. But like the the truth of the
matter is, like most of the timeit's just because the property
that they're in is too expensiveand they can't match profits and
stuff with that area. And then they don't want to say
real estate is the issue. So they go and yeah, yeah.
(19:51):
I I think. From what I understand that that
seemed to be the issue. That makes way more sense
honestly. Way more than shoplifting, which
is. It's not shoplifting is a drop
in the bucket. That's not a real issue.
Like it's a yes. I I'm not going to say it's not
an issue. It's like it it is an issue but.
Not for like the store manager and like the cashier who has to
(20:12):
get involved. It isn't like an issue for like
corporate. 100%, I think that's.What I'm trying to say.
Yeah, if you see someone steal something, no, you didn't know,
you fucking. Especially when it's food or
baby products or anything like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
To be clear, if it's like a small mom and pop store and
they're stealing like bullshit items, then sure.
(20:33):
But yeah, Walmart, Walgreens, fucking any of those kind of
big, big, big, big big chains, fuck them.
Who gives a shit? Agreed.
All right, here we go. Tales continue surfing on the
back of Fluke, the Big Blue Whale, with the 40 Fathoms
Freedom Fighters following suit.Well done.
Just a good sentence, I like it.Fluke swims up to a giant steep
(20:56):
Cliff, which seems to be the continent of Down Under.
Tale says his goodbyes and fliesup to the New World, who cuts a
Crock bot who was receiving a message of an intruder entering
the land of Down Under. He sends his squad of mechanical
winged dingoes to take care of Tales as he flies into his
country. Tales puts up a fight, ducking
(21:18):
and weaving, dodging a lot of the dingoes and even took out a
few. Still, there were too many.
Tales gets knocked out and crashes into the ground below.
This seems to be the end of Tales when suddenly the Down
Under Freedom fighters pop out of nowhere and start fighting
off the herd of flying dingoes. At this moment I would like to
(21:41):
make a quick plea to the writersof the Sonic the Hedgehog comic.
Please stop making everyone freedom fighters.
It makes it seem like a giant organization with factions, and
while my gut says that will happen in the future, it hasn't
yet and it's just confusing. Anyway, let me introduce the
Down Under Freedom fighters. Walt Wallaby.
(22:01):
Orange fur, brown vest, brown gloves.
Barbie Koala White, Gray and black fur, red gloves, red boots
and a brown sash. Wombat Stew Yellow with Gray
boots, Gray hat and blue gloves.Guru Ebu Purplish Gray with a
white T-shirt that I'm sure would have been tie dyed but the
(22:23):
colorist put their foot down andsaid no.
Peace sign necklace. Red John Lennon glasses and an
orange yellow headband. Duck Bill Platypus.
Teal colored platypus with purple gloves and shoes and
goggles on his head. The Down Under freedom fighters
fight off the herd. Walt Wallaby.
(22:44):
All right, here we go. This is the you didn't you
didn't describe the animals. I should say.
Oh, oh, sorry. They are they are the animals.
That is the name. It's in the name.
Yeah, they're all the yeah. So maybe I should have?
No, no, you shouldn't have. I'm stupid.
That was fucking dumb. Is we, we've had platypuses in
the past and they don't look like this platypus.
Yeah. So it's like a different version
of the, it's like the Australianplatypus.
(23:06):
I don't know. I actually don't know what a
wallaby looks like. So you said you wrote here
orange first. So this is like the leader,
right? Yeah.
OK. For some reason I thought it was
a Kangaroos. Look like Kangaroos.
Yeah. Is that, is that how they are in
real life? I don't know.
Yeah, they're they're, they're smaller.
Marsupial. Yeah, I think they're thicker.
(23:28):
Mammalian, I can say that for sure.
OK, guess what, team pound thesepuppies and send them back to
their crocodilian creator will teach him to gang up on this
little guy. The Freedom Fighters destroy
some of the dingoes while other dingoes escape.
Tales tries to speak up but is badly hurt.
(23:50):
No, not not little I can handle myself.
Tales passes out. OK.
This is Guru Emu. Guru Emo.
One second, I just need to know what like an emu?
Like it like squawks or like emusalad?
It's a bird, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the sound of
(24:12):
an emu. One second, huh?
It's a lot deeper. It's like a lot of like growly
noises. Really.
OK, well I do enough growling with various characters, so I'm
not. Gonna do that.
Do whatever you're originally going to.
Do do it dude. Dig it dude.
He said something. Oh, you're just doing John Le.
I'm just doing John Le. You said John Lennon, so I'm
going to do John Lennon. Yeah.
(24:33):
All right. Yeah, it's obviously probably
what they were thinking when they did it.
The shitty Animaniacs wacko impersonation of Window Star,
which itself is a shitty accent for me to try and attempt.
So anyway, so back to Walt Wallaby.
Speak up mate. I'm Walt Wallaby, leader of the
DFF and then Barbie Koala. So Barbie Koala?
(24:58):
What color is Barbie Koala you said?
White with some grey and she's got oh, I wonder if that's like.
The feminine presenting one, yesOK, he passed out the youngsters
badly hurt. Just then, a winged dingo that
escaped from the fight earlier circles back and snatches wombat
Stew. Walt puts tails in his pouch and
(25:19):
Barbie Guru and Bill all chance after the all chase after the
winged dingo that snatched snoo that snatched Stew.
I just want to say here there's and.
It's not your fault, but there'sbeen a lot of alliteration in
this script. Some of it was my fault, some of
it I was like, I'm I'm leaning into it.
(25:40):
We cut the crocbot's lair. Robotnik appears on a monitor.
Crocbot, the supply blimp is about to make landfall.
Have you dealt with the intruder?
You betcha. Triple chins I have here come by
wing dingoes. Well, some of them.
One of the beat up wing dingoes lands next to him.
(26:01):
Crocbot immediately moves himself in between the dingo and
monitor blocking robotics view. What's going on?
I can't see. Get out of the way Crocbot, I'm
am experiencing technical difficulties.
He then smashes the monitor withhis tail, ending the
transmission. He turns his attention to the
(26:23):
winged dingo. What's going on eh?
Are you trying to make me look bad?
The wing dingo cowers in fear and whimpers.
Freedom fighters? What, That ragtag bunch of
doogooders trashed your whole squadron here?
(26:44):
Are you poised to run all of Down Under and eventually
Mobius? Now I get humiliated by these
hateful heroes. Just then, another flying
dingbat comes into the room, carrying wombat Stew.
Well, well, if it isn't wombat Stew.
(27:05):
He places wombat Stew on a table, and he is locked down.
Crockbot calls Robotnik back. Sorry about that.
Bit of a trouble with one of thelocals.
I assume you've dealt with it. Of course, of course.
See, he started the torture device.
(27:26):
Robotnik confirms with Crockbot that the blimp with his
materials is approaching. Robotnik removes the
invisibility shield so that Crockbot's minions can guide the
blimp into his hangar. Robotnik abruptly hangs up,
saying that he's got his own problems to deal with over in
Robotropolis. Crockbot then turns on his
surveillance system to see if the Down Under Freedom Fighters
(27:47):
are nearby, assuming that they are coming to rescue Wombat
Stew. So predictable this time out
perfectly. This should time out perfectly
with the arrival of a Botnick supply blimp.
The supply blimp appears directly over the Down Under.
Freedom Fighters 4 out. Oh, hold on.
(28:09):
Getting back into the John Lennon or the the wacko.
I'd like to be under the sea. It is octane 4 out.
You can lead a horse to water. Well, a Zeppelin has to be LED.
Walt. Walt pipes up again.
(28:33):
So many characters in a short amount of time.
Walt is the leader, right? You have to remind me.
OK. Thank you.
Walt is the leader, yes. That little fox was muttering
about it as soon as I carried him.
It's an Airbus loaded with weapons and equipment to for our
enemy Crock Butt. Crockbot's always been a 2 bit
hood, but if that ship gets through it'll become a super
(28:54):
villain. The freedom fighters all start
rushing Crockbot's fortress, which looks like the Sydney's
which looks like the Sydney Opera House.
We cut to what is simply known as the Crater.
This is where Walt Wallaby brought Tails.
Tails wakes up on a stone slab. Oh oh but my aching everything.
(29:17):
Anybody got the number of that bus?
Woo ha, I remember now. The dogs wallaby, where'd he
bring me? Tails looks around and sees that
he's at the bottom of a pit withwalls going hundreds of feet in
the sky. He grabs up off the slab and
hears some chanting. Tails follows the voices and
(29:38):
comes across the ancient walkersfrom the Triple Trouble special.
He then hears a voice coming from the shadows.
All right, So what? What do you think?
What are you thinking about? Affair?
Another old ass Enchidna. I mean, all the old enchidnas
are going to sound the same, right?
This guy is clearly an Aussie. He's.
Not that old, but. He's not that old.
(30:01):
What are you looking at? Are we looking at the same guy?
He's not that old. He's not like ancient.
He's not he's not like Gray. There's no graying in his hair.
I. Think he's like in his 40s.
Yeah, he gives. He's giving off.
Like, I mean, look, you're living in caves and shit, right?
That that that does probably. Like aid you a little bit
faster. OK, OK.
I accept it. I accept it.
(30:22):
So what are, what are you thinking here?
Just just loud booming? No, you, you give him the Aussie
flare. I mean, Aussie flare makes sense
in the context of like, well, wedon't know how long he's been
living here. But he might have picked up the
accent. Yeah.
Can you? Do can you do Brooklyn Aussie
(30:43):
with a hint of Brooklyn? So an Aussie that moved to
Brooklyn? Because in my mind now, Brooklyn
is like the the native tongue ofthe echidnas.
No, if anything it's Knuckles. That's because he's so isolated.
He just developed that accent byhimself.
You're probably right, but I like my theory a lot more.
(31:08):
All right, so, so what's, what'sthe Brooklyn accent?
It is all right. Come on.
Come on. Over here.
Come on. I'm walking here.
I don't know if that's Brooklyn,but still.
It's it's close enough. I would hear that in Brooklyn.
These so OK where where am I Tails is wrong ancient walkers.
(31:31):
He then hears a voice coming from the shadows.
And then these they have 4 bearsthesey.
So the the straight Brooklyn would be these they have 4
bears. Young mph, you have too much to
learn and this time's already growing.
The time already grows short. So there's like 1 dimension we
got to do Aussie and then like epic Aussie shit, dude, these
(32:02):
are your four best malls power young malls power.
You have much to learn and Tom already and Tom and Tom already
grows short. It's it's it already there's
such heavy, heavy accents that you there is no middle ground.
(32:23):
There is no middle ground. I'm sure it.
Is very funny listening to you attempt us though.
Yeah, a silhouette of a knucklesesque figure appears, but with a
cane of and a hunched back. That silhouette because.
That's why I think he's old. Come on, man.
He's got a cane. He's.
Got a hunched that silhouette, those dreadlocks.
(32:44):
It's you knuckles. I don't know why like this makes
it sound. Like enters this.
You got to get into character this.
Is, Yeah, like this guy over here, you know, it's like
something Bugs Bunny would do. And Bugs Bunny is canonically
Brooklyn, I think. OK.
Or like, that's that's the voice.
(33:07):
No, I'm not a kid now. Gazaflown Island, though.
My though my blood flows throughhis veins.
And what of your blood double tail?
What? And what of your blood double
tail? Is that what he says?
Yeah, you're right. That's what he says.
And and what of your blood double tail?
It's I I did it. There should have been a, but
that's. Not your fault, there should
(33:28):
have been a comma. That's the writers.
Yeah, and what of? Your blood double tail.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and what of your blood
double tail? Are you indeed the Chosen 1?
Are you indeed the Chosen One? We shall know.
We must know. You are mine, body and soul.
(33:52):
So speaks a fair. Tails gulps.
Gulp. Indeed.
Who is this weird old guy and whatever his intentions, will
Tails be able to rejoin the DownUnder Freedom Fighters in their
final confrontation with Crockbot?
Beyond that, will he ever go home?
Does he even want to answer? Answers to these questions, plus
(34:16):
more surprises in the final chapter of Southern Crossover,
on sale December of 1995. Before we continue, I just want
to say that I do not read ahead.We do.
I write it record, and then I write the next one.
(34:37):
This is definitely the crater ofAngel Island, right?
It has to be Yeah, it like it you're it has to be.
Angel Island came from down on the I believe you.
I 100% believe you that you did not look ahead.
Fucking I just, oh man, when, when that happened, I literally
did like a fuck Yeah. I, I was so excited.
(34:57):
I crushed it well, and it makes sense.
It's suddenly I'm fine. I'm like actually OK with all
the weird Aussie undertones of Angel Island now because it
clearly just came from Australiaand.
It's like, OK, there's a connection.
There is like a sociological explanation to it, and that's
(35:18):
really, really cool. I like that.
Yeah, no, I was actually like, OK, I'm pretty into this.
I'm very intrigued as to like what happened and why this
happened. I'm also intrigued as to why the
can the ancient walkers just like teleport or do they like
leave Angel Island and come backor I don't know what their deal
(35:39):
is, right. But I mean, I guess maybe we'll
find out. I just wanted to say I fucking
called it. I was, I was so I almost like
texted you being like, I fuckingcrushed the shit.
Well, obviously we don't film ourselves when we read, but if
we had filmed each other, if it filmed ourselves, it would have
been like I would have made, I think I made like an O face,
like, oh shit. Oh yeah, 100%.
(36:02):
I was rooting for it. Yeah, man.
All right, let's What are we? What are we thinking?
I'm kind of, I'm kind of cool with this one.
I, I, I think I am. So I know I did a whole rant
last episode about all the different freedom fighters and
all the different the name. Besides, you made that rant in
the script and I agree with it. Like you're, you're stripping
(36:24):
the opportunity for unique namesand unique character like
character implicit character development by having unique
names. Instead, they're all just blank
freedom fighters, which doesn't make sense because why?
Why are the freedom fighters original?
Just the freedom fighters and then everyone else is a variant
of that. Anyway, that aside, I do kind of
fuck with it because it's it, itis each team is unique enough
(36:52):
that and they keep on doing it where I'm like, OK, the even
though it's it feels annoying that the individuality of each
character is like, OK, you're trying to push something here.
Maybe it's AI Don't I don't knowif they're, I don't think
they're intentionally pushing a toy line.
I think they're genuinely tryingto come up with new characters
(37:14):
every single time. And I, I can kind of respect
that. But the more they do it and as
long as they get some time to shine, I'm OK with it.
I'm actually cool with it because if you it's a growing
movement, I should say this, this anti fascist movement
throughout the planet Mobius. Yeah.
(37:36):
Have you recognized any of thesepeople yet from like to just
like from your previous knowledge of Sonic before doing
this? No, not at all.
These are, to my knowledge, completely unique characters to
the Archie comic and everything.Yeah, the the the most obscure
(37:59):
game like early game characters are probably like being the duck
and mighty the armadillo. I think of those who have
recently come back in the most most recent as of this recording
like game where you can swap them out for the 2.
Instead of 2D Sonic, you get 2D Bean and Mighty.
(38:20):
But these are truly unique characters.
Yeah, to Archie. The the Wombat is the first
character I've seen where I've been like, oh, I recognize him.
I never knew who he was, but I've definitely like seen him
before. I mean, I used to read like fan
comics when I was like 10 or 11.So I'm sure he was like in
(38:42):
something like that. I, I didn't know who he was.
I was just, and I knew he was from the comics.
I just assumed he was like Sonic's cousin or something like
his his like Aussie cousin like no joke because of the hat and
like or like he's like a truck driver or something.
Yeah, he gives. He gives off that vibe.
Yeah, 1000%. You didn't.
You didn't give me any lines forthat, which is totally fine.
(39:05):
I'm already like using it a lot but I'm using a lot of them but
I I would have given like more. Yeah, I mean, there's still next
issue. Yeah, like you're right, like
more of an awesome like a trucker vibe to to him, but not
even like what you would. I don't know what you think of.
I don't know what anyone thinks a trucker is by default, but for
some reason he's giving more like Canadian trucker vibe.
(39:26):
You know what I'm talking about.You got to have you ever seen
the movie Big Trouble in Little China?
Dude, OK, a long, long time ago.All I remember is that there was
the pool scene where there were the topless women in the
villains like mansion. And I was like as a kid I was
like, oh shit, that's cool. But no, I don't remember much of
that movie. No, I don't remember what you're
(39:49):
talking about. My I.
This is gonna sound like a weirdstretch.
Does that by any chance Conan the Barbarian you're thinking
of? No, no, it's not because.
It's not because. No, it OK because I don't
remember topless women in Big trouble in Little China, but I
do remember a bunch of topless women near a pool in Conan the
Barbarian. You could have been watching the
TV edit or something. No, no, I own the Blu-ray.
(40:11):
OK, I don't. Know I'm not going to die on
this hill. Yeah.
No, no, no, no, it's fine. But what what you need to do is
before next issue, I need you tosit down and watch Big Trouble
Little China, and I need you to try to mimic Kurt Russell's
voice when he's doing like the CB radio and then add a little
(40:36):
bit of an Aussie accent to it. OK, we got freaking more
assignments now for the show I'll.
I'll send you a link to exactly what I'm thinking.
Of that. That would help.
That would actually help, yes. Yeah.
That's really fun. That's really funny, though.
I am. I'm eager to try it.
I'm eager to try it. Yeah, I, I, there's not much to
say about this one only because it's like kind of the middle my
(40:59):
and I don't even want to really say it's a critique yet.
I don't like the direction, but I won't know until the 3rd
issue. But the thing that I'm not
liking about this is this is supposed to be Tails's mini
series. And so far it's been the
(41:19):
underwater freedom fighter guys saving the day and Tales was
getting this shit kicked out of them.
And then we got the Aussie freedom fighters saving.
They getting the shit kicked outof them.
It it seems like if I was makingthis, that's like a thing where
Tales saves the day in the thirdissue and it's supposed to be
like culminating like all the experience.
(41:41):
I don't know what like what experiences Tales is learning
though. Like he hasn't learned anything.
He's seen the shit kicked out ofhim.
He's unconscious for he's unconscious for a lot of this.
Yeah, what I'll say it. Yeah, he really is.
I, I'm going to be like, legitimately upset if Tales ends
(42:05):
up just not doing anything by issue #3 if Tales isn't the one
saving the day in like a dramatic way.
This is a miniseries not for Tales, but just to introduce new
characters. Yes, making making.
The. Making the miniseries feel like
fan fiction for the characters it's supposed to be.
(42:29):
So. Representing.
Yeah, I can't, Can't, can't complain about it yet until the
next issue. But I don't like the direction
they're going down is where I'm at.
And even though I said in general I'm cool with them
introducing more resistance people overall, you literally
just introduced a whole ass teamin the first part of this mid
(42:52):
three-part miniseries and now another one in the middle.
That's so many characters, my guy.
Well, and that's why I don't think Tales is going to like
there's two there's two ways this goes one, Tales saves the
day completely or B Tales says Jack shit and the Australian
(43:13):
Freedom fighters and the Ocean Freedom fighters team up in a
way to save the day Tales. Could lead them.
Tales could be leading them. The the most I see happening is
Tales being like, hey, we need to get in the ocean.
I know a few guys let me call them.
And then he then he takes a stepback.
That's I don't know, we'll see. But I I'm I'm upset that my boy
(43:38):
Tails isn't. He's being poorly written here.
What is his? What is his arc so far?
What is his arc? He doesn't have one.
That's the thing. He's not learning any lessons.
Or at least let me rephrase that.
I'm not seeing anything that could be setting up for a lesson
for him to learn. Yeah, there's no, there's no
(43:58):
growth. And you know, an ark doesn't
even have to be growth. It can be a regression.
Or a. Covenant, but but there's
nothing really much going on here.
Foretale, specifically the name.Are we just misunderstanding the
point of a miniseries? No, I think this is this is the
(44:19):
the writers not doing well in that specific regard, right.
So this is, I mean, OK, maybe you're actually right.
Maybe we are missed like understanding is.
This a comic book tradition? Yeah.
Is this a comic book tradition? And someone who hasn't read a
lot of comic books, you you might actually be right.
But to me, I would think that these miniseries would be the
(44:43):
perfect time to really expand the characters and like flesh
them out in ways that we don't really get the opportunity to in
the main series. And every single miniseries so
far, I feel like I squandered that opportunity And so and just
use the opportunity to introducemore characters.
(45:03):
And I mean we even the Princess Sally miniseries left me with a
bad taste in the mouth because it just like I'm not impressed
with any of these miniseries so far.
I think, I think I, I concur, and I think Sally's miniseries
was better than Tales of miniseries in terms of the
(45:25):
growth or in terms of like showing more of the character.
I agree. So again, we can't, we can't
judge, right? But at least at least Sally was
doing something. You alluded to this last
episode, so we'll talk about it now.
What do you think about Down Under as a place?
I mean, it's just. It's just Australia, of course.
(45:47):
Well, it's just Australia, but also they haven't expanded on
it. There's no society.
There's nothing to comment on because so far I've seen desert
the Sydney Opera House and that's it.
To to be kind of Fair, just devil's advocate, I guess.
Australia is a massive place where there's so much Outback
(46:09):
and obviously there's urban areas, but it's dwarfed by just
how much Outback there is in wilderness.
Just big wilderness, borderline wasteland of a place.
What what I'll say is if you look at a population map of
Australia, it's all along the coast.
And where did tales come in? On the coast, you're right.
That's a good point. I I know some things about
(46:31):
geography, bitch, you're not always the smart one.
No, but yeah, I mean, this is, we don't know what I mean.
This is based on Australia. It's a fake Australia, right?
Because we've concluded that this is an Earth.
So they just draw inspiration from Earth.
(46:53):
It's not Earth, but they do mention.
They they make a lot of references to Earth and I think
that's just how they write. Yeah.
And I we've said before, we don't like that.
I mean, and if it is Earth, I'm going to be so fucking pissed if
they do some stupid retcon wherethey're just like, Oh yeah, it
was Earth, all the log and therewas some mutant wave that
happened and this is. No, I don't think they do that.
(47:15):
I'm. Going to be so fucking pissed.
Because. This is that is the exact,
that's the exact thing I expect from this fucking comic.
Just let things be things. Doesn't have to be all Earth or
connected or it's fine. It's fine.
Back to this comic, like I said,there's not much to say because
(47:37):
like we're just it's all set up for the next issue.
We we get the wombat kind of caught.
He's hanging out, just trapped like the James Bond he is.
You think this comic so far in its current iteration here in
199596, does it have the balls to kill people?
No, no, I don't think so either.I don't think.
(47:59):
I don't. Not yet.
I think it will. I'm not a bet, but I'm going to
make a call. I don't think we're going to see
AI, don't think we're going to see a major good guy death
'cause, you know, the bad guy robots die all the time.
But I don't think we're going tosee a major good guy death
(48:22):
until, let's see, 1999, 99. I'm going to make that call
right now. I think, OK, so I'm going to,
I'm going to talk this out. We're in 96 right now.
(48:43):
Yes. I I think when does the show
Sonic the Hedgehog act? Oh, OK.
OK, so the TV show's already done.
I think they're trying probably Sonic Underground right now.
Oh, 99. OK, so my gut says 97 is a weird
(49:12):
year for Sonic where they're trying to figure out what to do
with him. And I think the comic is going
to be able to kind of get away with some shit.
And I think, I think by the timeSonic Adventure comes out, it's
going to get weirder and they'regoing to put more of a restraint
(49:33):
on it because Sonic Adventures coming out and they want to
like. Family friendly.
Like be on top of everything, befriendly, family friendly.
I bet if there's anything crazy like that, that would happen, it
would happen between now and therelease of Sonic Adventure.
Or. Sonic Adventure 2.
OK, I'm with it. I'm with it.
(49:57):
And then after that, I think it becomes very, you don't get any
of that weird shit anymore. Exactly what?
Weird shit like like character deaths or what?
Yeah, character's deaths and stuff like that.
I think maybe we'll see a resurgence in like the mid 2000s
(50:19):
or but still either before or after Ian Flynn gets involved
because I the vibe I got during my during that time when I like
actual time when I was growing up, there was so much edgy shit
going on in the 2000s. Just in general, the culture was
(50:40):
edgy. But in the Sonic comics
specifically, I think it was popping off at that time.
So we'll probably get a second wave of that because that's,
that's what I was originally going to say.
But then you mentioned that and I'm like, that's a good point.
They want, they want to try stuff and then pull it back for
adventure. I like that or that seems like a
good prediction. Who do you think they kill if
(51:02):
they kill anyone? Do you think the character we
know already? No, I don't think so.
I think I think the core is too good of a core to like to spoil,
to not spoil. But to kill for comics that's a
killing permanently is extremelyhard to do.
Gwen Stacy Doing a Gwen Stacy isextremely difficult for comics
(51:24):
to do unless it's a very, you know, short narrative thing.
My push back. Maybe push back isn't the right
word. I don't think the character has
been introduced. I don't think the character has
been introduced yet that that isgoing to be killed.
There's there's a few things in my mind that I'm just going to
(51:45):
talk out. One is I think if I was Sega
right, I would not like any of these comics because it is.
All based off of Sega. Of Japan, yes, correct, because
it's all based off of ATV show that was failed that they didn't
(52:06):
have any say and and it's creating a bunch of lore and
stuff that they're not like really they're like kind of
giving guidelines on and not paying super close attention.
And it's very obvious with the reboot of all the Sonic stuff
that or I, I shouldn't say very obvious because I haven't seen,
(52:28):
I haven't read the IDW stuff, but I flipped through pages and
there's, I have not seen any Mobian people from the Freedom
Fighters or anything like that. It's a big point of contention
that I'm aware of, which is thatbring back the freedom fighters,
you know, etcetera. And I I would think the original
(52:49):
freedom fighters. So rotor buns.
And Sally. And Sally, if there was a
chopping block, they would be the ones on it, right?
And just to be clear, we're talking about in story character
death, Yes. OK.
(53:10):
OK. If I am Sega and I've created a
character, say named Amy Rose, who is Sonic's love interest, I
don't know if I'd want this other love interest mucking
(53:33):
things up that is from America and you know, not not they have
no real say in I. I mean, they technically I bet
have a say, but you know what I mean.
Like give. Sonic give Sonic is proper
Japanese waifu, not not this American bitch.
If I was making those types of decisions, I I would, I would
(53:56):
say get rid of Sally. Which I think they did, they
just they not get rid of concertedly.
It feels like it was more of a 'cause we don't know, but it
feels like it was more of a. Do you think they just like made
her like a queen or something and put her off to the side?
No, I think that, well, the series just stops, right?
It just stops dead in his trackswith no with no ending.
(54:17):
Like in terms of like I'm talking about.
The business. Series I'm talking about like 98
I'm talking. Like. 2000, yeah.
I think it's safe to say the freedom fighters will go well
into the 2000s OK in their current iteration.
I I think that's, I see that as like a spoiler that I'm pretty
(54:37):
sure I've seen more of them intothe 2000s, but I probably well,
no, because Ian Flynn takes overand you're speculating from a
point of like right now. That way we don't know anything
else. Well, I, I'm also, I mean, yeah,
I personally. Don't know anything.
Else I'm just I'm speculating, Iguess I'm kind of gaming it, but
(54:58):
I'm I'm looking at it from a like.
I set it up that way. Yeah, that's fine.
If I was on the business side ofSega and I'd be looking at this
fucking comic and I'm like, well, one place where I would
have to draw a line, I think would be the love interest.
Yeah, that's a, that's a massivepart of a character's branding
(55:19):
and storyline and all that stuff.
So that I can I can see that I think it's interesting with both
of them, which we haven't seen in the comic.
It just in my mind, I would think these two have very
different personalities. I think that that would be a
really cool contrast. And Sally herself already has
two lovely trusts. Oh, you know what?
OK. Going back to my original
question, I think Jeffrey St. John.
(55:41):
Jeffrey's saying John's gonna gonna get him at some point
gonna. Eat it.
I I think so too. I hope so.
I wanna see that guy die. Not because Sally deserves to be
with Sonic, but just because youdon't like the character.
Yeah, mainly I I hope, I hope. Yeah.
He's just a fucking Connor man. You don't.
(56:02):
You don't like the character period.
Like on a meta. Level so fucking much.
I hate him so fucking much man. I don't want him near my Sonic.
I don't want him near Sally. I don't want him near Sonic.
I don't want him near Buns. Everyone else is fine from the
alternate freedom. Well I guess they're not part of
the alternate freedom fighters cause Jeffrey Saint John was his
(56:23):
own thing. Yeah, correct.
It was the His Majesty Secret Service.
That sounds correct. Something like that.
The Secret Service. I just, I just think we need
more Hamlin and then just get rid of everyone else.
Where's Where's my Hamlin miniseries?
Hamlin is like tails in the sense that they just go.
They just go for it, man. The critical difference OK if
(56:45):
there's. Hamlin and Tails just tear shit
up. Dude that's a deadly combo.
The the the critical difference is that Hamlin can actually fuck
shit up as a fighter, just as a brawler.
It seems like he just brawls andthen but tails he gets involved
and he has the power of flight which often saves his ass, but
he doesn't. He's not quite as a physical of
(57:08):
a guy. I want I want a karate kid esque
mini story with Hamlin and taleswhere and that could have been
this Hamlin is Mr. Miyagi and teach him how to fucking fight.
Yes, could not, yeah. I'm sorry I'm coming up with
better ideas. Fucking Sonic Archie writers.
I don't think Hamlin gives off as much.
(57:29):
Yeah, I don't think Hamlin givesoff as much Mr. Miyagi vibes.
It's more like who's who's Rocky's trainer?
Fuck, I know this. You know what I'm talking about.
He was. In the 1st 4 movies or
something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mickey was in Mickey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds right. I don't know if that's right
though. It's Mickey.
I'm like, because it's Mickey's gym, yeah.
(57:50):
OK, OK. Yeah, I, I see.
It bro this is this is a tangenton another tangent I want to
give. Me, Rocky, give me.
I want to watch Rocky. I want to watch the whole Rocky
series with you at some point. I want to watch.
It I mean, this is a side thing,but you, you do know, Baraki's
like one of my favorite series of all time.
(58:11):
Right. Oh, I know.
We've talked about it. We've talked about it.
Extensively. I don't know what we talked
about on the podcast and whatnot.
I think it was specifically, oh,I don't know about all the
podcasts, but just in real life we've talked about Creed and how
good Creed is, at least the first one.
Yeah, Creed 1 is great, Creed 2 is pretty good, Creed 3 is
interesting and I feel like theychanged the story at some point
and Creed 3 makes more sense if Rocky was dead the whole time
(58:35):
and he's like talking to Rocky'sghost and that it.
I thought for sure that's what they were setting up and then
yeah, Creed 3's good. It's not great.
It's the weakest of the Creed movies.
It's very. Creed, I can't.
I can't train you. I can't train you no more.
I got to be a Hollywood ambassador for the president.
(58:57):
Yeah, we don't. We don't talk about real life
Stallone because talk about disappointing, but I don't know
how to work this. Michael B Jordan was very
influenced with anime when doingthat movie.
And I think there's a differencebetween I I, I feel like I
(59:20):
shouldn't say anything. I feel like I need to rewatch
the movie because I only saw it the one time and I saw it in
theaters. I like, I personally loved it,
but also thought it was kind of hokey.
It's it worked for the movie that Michael B Jordan was
making, but if he tried to do that in any other movie, I think
it'd be horrible in terms of theshots that he was deciding on
(59:43):
and whatnot. Because he was doing very
stylized, but stylized in the anime sense where it would be
like, I, I would see this in like, why, why can't I think of
anything? I'm blanking.
But like everything, it feels like a UU hockey shield fight or
(01:00:03):
something where everything was black around them.
It's just them in the ring and they're fighting and it's, and
then there's like, it's fine. I, I don't know what I'm trying
to say. I, I need to rewatch Creed 3.
So maybe we'll just sit down andwatch all the Creed movies and
then I'll. Talking to a microphone about
how good each one of them are. And we ignore the weird rapey
(01:00:25):
aspects of certain parts of the movies because everything else
is really good. It's just, you know, maybe,
maybe I. Might cut all of that.
I I didn't. This is my fault.
I shouldn't have even hinted at Rocky at any point in time
'cause that's an immediate like off ramp A. 20 minute rant.
Yeah, it's super is. But yeah, we we can just ignore
(01:00:50):
how racist and sucky what's yourface's brother is and we can
ignore some of the weird kind ofrapey aspects of their
relationship. It's fine.
We should maybe end this. Yes.
And that's the issue. Only 386 left to go.
I'm Nick. I stream at
(01:01:10):
twitch.tv/mojosaurus. My personal blue sky is at
Mojosaurus. And I'm Dominic, you can watch
my jazz adventures in Chicago, Jazz and people power adventures
in Chicago just released. I am I am part of another
podcast, Sarnic and I I've. Been trying you to promote this
for years. Did I talk about this last
(01:01:32):
episode? You didn't?
No, I don't think so. So I just did a three-part
miniseries for a podcast that explores the Chicagoland ICE
raids of winter 2025 and talked to a lot of people, a lot of
local leaders in the suburbs as well as in the city, and went
over know your rights, you know,information, stuff like that,
(01:01:55):
specifically for migrants. Fun fact, administrative warrant
extremely different from a judicial warrant.
And ICE will happily fool you into thinking it's the judicial
warrant if you don't read the fine prints.
If you don't look for the judge's signature, You need the
judge's signature for a warrant.If you don't see a judge's
signature, you can tell them. You can just stop talking to
them and shut the blinds. Also, don't let them in your
(01:02:18):
house. OK?
And you can follow me on Blue Sky at Domguan.
You didn't. You didn't say the podcast name.
Oh, sorry, it's the Poor Pearls Almanac and you can find links
to it on my Instagram, on my link tree, etcetera.
Just go to Blue Collar Jazz and I should have that there.
Yeah. Yeah, this is your first time
promoting the podcast because I've told you before to be like,
(01:02:40):
you should do this. I don't know why, you know?
And you're like, yeah, sorry, now I got to find the outro.
That's OK, We also have a video version.
Oh no, sorry. You can follow us on socials.
I got to talk fast TikTok. It's got to talk faster.
We have a video version of the podcast where you can follow
along with panels and watch our handsome faces.

Gotta Talk Fast was written by Nick Folkerts and edited by
Dominic Guanzon. Intro and outro themes recorded
by Dominic Guanzon Gotta Go Fast.
Originally composed by Norman J Grossfeld, Joseph Garrity and
Russell Velazquez.
Got to talk fast. Got to talk fast.
Got to talk faster, faster, faster.
Got to talk fast. I took a little trip down to
Galveston because I was like, this is probably a place that's
not going to exist much longer either due to like a hurricane
(00:20):
swiping it off a map or the rising of sea levels or
whatever. What other other natural
disaster you want to or you know, man made?
Who knows, maybe we just accidentally drop a shuttle on
it based on how SpaceX is going.So I went over there.
It's fine. It it's pretty.
(00:42):
It's not a place I would ever want to live.
Galvinson seems like it would have been like a really cool rad
place to be poor in like the 70s.
It, it has a vibe of like a lot of things were built in the 80s
and never really like up capped.And so it seems like that's when
it was like in its heyday. And then everything new, you can
(01:04):
tell it's old and new because all the new stuff is on stilts,
which is also maybe if a place needs to be built on stilts, we
shouldn't live there. But what do I know?
But the thing that's frustratingabout Galvinson I I went to the
National State Park, walked around.
It's not a great State Park. It's just a swamp.
(01:24):
It's a reminder that Houston wasbuilt on a swamp.
It's also a good, it's a good nature place.
It's a good like you know, for the ecosystem it needs to be.
It's just because it's protecteddoesn't means it needs to be.
I agree. I, I feel like they shouldn't
even attempt to have people there because it's not up capped
or anything, right? Because I, I went on the trail
(01:47):
and they're like, Oh yeah, here's like a little bridge that
connects trails and stuff. I go to the bridge and it's just
completely destroyed. They use the thing that was
weird for me. And this isn't like a criticism.
Maybe it is. People were using that area to
like fish and like catch crab. And at first I was like, well,
(02:09):
that seems like you shouldn't beallowed to do that in like a
nature preserve. But then I looked at my map that
I got and they're like, this is the best place to like get
crabs. And I'm like, oh, so they're
encouraging this. So whatever.
It's all very swampy, very boring to look at, but
apparently it's got if you're inthe birding.
(02:31):
It seems like it's a really coolbirding spot, but I'm not.
I'm not into birds, but the thing that was.
Really fucking you. Just you just said in the last
sonograms that you wanted to be a bird if you could.
Be an animal, want it? Be a bird I don't want to look
at though. They're all the same to me, man.
(02:54):
I get it. You got wings, you can fly.
I would if I could choose to be an animal.
It's you. But I don't need to see this.
The thing that's really fucking dumb about Galveston is they did
the thing that Chicago did, which I fucking hate, is they
pretty much made like a Lakeshore Dr. which is they have
a highway going all the way along the beach, and that
(03:17):
highway separates the beach fromeverything else.
And so you go to these restaurants that are like, Oh
yeah, we're on the beach, but the beach means you're sitting
on a, I guess it's technically not a highway, but it's a major
Rd. where the speed limit is like 40 something mph.
(03:40):
And so you're just sitting. Yeah, I know.
And so I went to a place, it's very good.
It was called Nick's. Did I go there because of the
name? I don't know, maybe.
But I went had their shrimp platter.
It was very delicious. I, I, I enjoyed it very much and
I was like, I'll go sit outside and sitting outside means I'm
(04:01):
like sitting like not even 10 feet away from like 40 mile per
hour traffic. And then the thing that's really
crazy and it makes no sense is they have parking all along this
major St. and the parking is alllike parallel parking.
(04:22):
So if you if it's busy and you want to park in one of these
spots, you actually have to stopthe traffic on the 40 mile per
hour Rd. because you got to go park up and do like a parallel
park and slide into your spot. And so the traffic is fucking
insane. It's the beach was nice.
(04:43):
I went, took a walk on the beach.
I went to the National Park beach and paid $5 to go hang
out. And then I was just like, I paid
for this beach. I'm going to go explore the
other National Park. And that was just a swamp and
like kind, it's like swamp and Prairie lands.
And I'm like, I've seen, I'm from Illinois.
I've seen enough prairies in my time.
(05:04):
And yeah, so I walked there for like an hour.
It's it's to the point here in in in the Prairie State that
whenever I see a hill like more than 10 feet tall, I'm like, oh,
elevation. Hell yeah.
Yeah, No, show me hills There's,I haven't seen a lot of hills
here in where I'm at in Texas. I'm sure there's plenty
elsewhere, nature area. I mean, if I have time, I'm
(05:28):
going to go check out the Sam Houston National Park.
I hear that's cool. So maybe, maybe I'll be more
impressed with that. I am a little hesitant only
because they're like, Oh yeah, there's a bunch of Gators there.
And I know in my heart of heartsit's fine.
I'm not scared of Gators. I know if you don't like provoke
them, they're not looking at you, but that.
(05:50):
One kid at Disney World. I don't know what you're talking
about, I would love to hear more.
There was a kid, this is actually very tragic and sad, a
kid at Disney World. He was on the the child was at
the Disney World like beach areaand that child got got snatched
up and killed by a a Gator. It was, yeah.
But I'm not a kid, so I'll be Ohyeah, that's horrible.
(06:14):
It's. One of those rare instances
where someone die actually died at Disney World.
Rare. I thought that happened all the
time. It does happen all the time, but
Disney World tries unsuccessfully several times to
make sure they don't die at Disney World.
Oh yeah, well, or they make sureyou have a Disney Plus account
so that. Yes, that story.
(06:35):
Jesus Christ. For those who don't know, I, I'm
sure it was like all over the news, but Disney tried arguing
that. What was it?
People waive their rights when they're in Disney World.
When you have Disney Plus for I,I don't remember the wave.
Contest the specific rights and it was it was just really funny
(06:56):
it. Was.
Like, yeah, very. I'm not surprised.
I'm really not surprised that they tried that.
Yeah, I mean, those and Disney lawyers are famous for being cut
throat, so it made sense. We're stalling because I'm
writing a script. Are you?
I'm good, I'm good. Now see, if I if you could write
(07:17):
a script as fast as that, we we'd be on issue 200 by now.
Jeez Louise, get good, Nick. Come on.
Welcome to an overview of ArchieComics Sonic the Hedgehog
reminding you to memorize phone numbers.
We often rely on our smartphone contacts being right there, but
you may not always have it, especially if you're arrested.
(07:39):
Oh my God. Prioritize people you can
absolutely trust as well as legal advocacy groups.
Here in Chicagoland, the National Lawyers Guild has been
present at protests as legal observers and their hotline is
404-458-9449. Have a back up plan to do if
you're arrested? Shut the fuck up and prepare for
(08:01):
that emotionally. I'm Nick and except for this
intro, I wrote the script. And I'm Dominic, and except for
this intro, I haven't read any of today's script.
And emphasizing if you were arrested, shut the fuck up.
Yeah, don't say Jack shit. Don't say Jack shit, especially
if they're being nice to you because that it is immediately
assume it is a trap. The National Lawyers Guild who I
(08:24):
mentioned there, they actually, they specifically put out a
video for the DNC last year. But there's one thing that
hasn't changed over 50 years, something that is so important
to tell you kids who are new to this movement, shut the fuck up.
You're sitting in the police transport van after a protest.
Shut the fuck up in a holding cell with your comrades.
(08:45):
Shut the fuck up, cop knocks on your door.
Shut the fuck up. Texting on an unsecured device.
Shut the fuck up. Pulled over by the cops after a
protest. Shut the fuck up cop.
Just asking about your day. Shut the fuck up Feds, call your
mom. Tell your mother to shut the
fuck up. Now repeat after me.
(09:06):
When the cops come calling, whatdo you do?
Shut the phone up. Here in Chicagoland, Italy, I
think they're national, of course.
But here in Chicagoland, they'vebeen very present.
And they often have these brightneon green hats.
They're called the green hats. And they are very, they're,
they're very good to have. They're a good backup.
(09:27):
But in the case, I mean, it's tothe point where that hotline
when people are getting arrestedand they were getting grouped up
at the Paddy wagon. There were some, some protesters
dressed in black, all black gear.
And they would try to get as close to the Paddy wagon as
possible. And they just shouted that
number as many times as they could before the police told
(09:48):
them the fuck off. 872465424 4872 And it's, it's very
important. So and also important, prepare
for being arrested emotionally prepare for it just like goat,
(10:10):
like imagine, use your imagination.
Imagine what it'd be like to be in a very sterile, damp, shitty
ass holding cell detention and just being alone and being
behind bars. Imagine that isn't even if, even
if you do everything right, evenif you're not causing trouble,
arrest does. The police and law enforcement
(10:33):
does not care about any of that for just basic arrest.
So prepare for that emotionally memorized phone numbers,
especially people in your household and the National
Lawyers Guild or any other legaladvocacy group that you can.
And then yeah, shut the fuck. Up if you can't memorize phone
numbers. If you have bad memory like me,
(10:55):
write it down on you. Write it in permanent marker.
On a preferably right before a protest.
Or you could be like us and justhave it all the time and just
like just lift up your shirt and.
Just tattoo it. Oh yeah, that's my dentist all
right. Just that's what I do.
I just, I just have like all important people, just like
tattooed right here. Otherwise, I'd never know.
(11:17):
Specifically upside down too. So if like, yeah.
So I could read it. Yeah, if you're at the beach and
someone takes a photo, it's like, what The why, the why?
Is it all upside down? No, that's really funny.
You know, at first I was like, Iwas going to be like a little
judge mental of like not memorizing phone numbers.
But then I realized I haven't memorized the phone number since
like 2004. And like the only phone numbers
(11:40):
I know that I have memorized, which is granted like the two
most important phone numbers I need to have memorized is
literally my brother's phone number and my mom's phone
number. And so I'm like, if something
happens, I at least have a phonenumber 100% and then I remember
my old home phone number, but that will never come in handy
again because. No more landline.
(12:04):
No more landlines. What are we reading today,
Dominic? We are reading Sonic the
Hedgehog's Buddy Tales miniseries #2 Part 2.
Cover dates January of 1996. Release date November of 1995.
Southern crossover script by Mike Gallagher and penciled by
(12:25):
Dave Banach. As well as on the the preamble,
the intro splash page. Mike Gallagher also does the
some of that penciling. A quick summary of the state of
America. I'm an incredibly fast and loose
Packer. I tend to throw everything into
(12:45):
a suitcase and hope for the best.
Most of the time this works out.Maybe I'll have an extra pair of
socks or one or two two few shirts, but overall my stress
free lifestyle of packing works for me.
I do on occasion miss. My trip to Houston was one of
them. I packed too few many pairs of
underwear and the deodorant I packed just was not cutting it
(13:09):
for the Houston heat. I decided to take a quick 15
minute trip to Walmart to purchase set items and maybe
some snacks to eat in my hotel room.
I arrive and walk towards the deodorant aisle.
Here I discovered that all the deodorant is behind a lock and
key. A gentleman was already here,
already annoyed, and already pushing the call button for a
(13:31):
Walmart employee to assist. By the look of things, he's been
here for a hot Houston minute, but due to my antisocial nature,
I did not ask. We wait in silence as the
overworked and understaffed employees try to make their way
to us. 15 minutes later and a line of six guys, the staff was
(13:51):
finally able to make their way to us.
I opt for Dove Men Plus Care 72 hour protection sport fresh
edition. As I walked to the underwear
section, I think to myself, how does one define 72 hours of
protection? Is it there after I shower?
(14:13):
Sport does imply waterproof, or at the very least water
resistant. However, I don't think I've ever
put on deodorant that has lasted72 hours.
Of course, I'm assuming that theH in 72 hours or 72H means
hours. I I I automatically assumed
hours. You did write 72 H, so kudos to
(14:34):
you, Nick. I'm assuming that the H in 72H
means hours, perhaps I'm wrong. I go to the Walmart product page
for Dove Men Plus Care deodorantand discover that the H does
mean hour. I believe they should change
their product to HR because thatis a more standard abbreviation
for hour. UBU only puts on deodorant once
(14:57):
every three days. I get to the underwear section
of Walmart and discover that this section is also under lock
and key. I push the call button and begin
my weight. As I wait I start thinking about
the implications of this lock and key design.
At the moment the items on lockdown are what is considered
high value targets, which is concerning to say the least that
(15:20):
these products are for cleanliness and not say
electronics or items people can live without.
How long until everything is locked down?
At what point does a store say no, The customer is not allowed
to enter? The customer is not to be
trusted. How long until the only way to
shop is to buy everything on an app and wait for an employee to
(15:43):
bring you your items? After a 30 minute wait, I
finally get my underwear. However, I have more shopping to
do. I am not allowed to hold my
underwear. The employee brings the
underwear to the front of the store, hidden out of sight
behind the register. I go and grab some snacks and
head to the front of the store to check out.
(16:05):
The lines for the registers are obnoxiously long since there's
only three open. However, the self checkout,
while long, is for people with 15 items or less.
I wait. I go to myself, checkout,
register, scan my items, and then talk to the one person
manning the self checkout lanes.I explained to him the situation
(16:27):
about my underwear and he goes on what I presume is a quest
since it takes about 10 minutes for him to find them.
As I stand waiting for my underwear to be found, I watch a
man with a full cart of groceries walk through the
unmanned self checkout lane and then leave without paying.
I watch an envy as this trip probably took a total of 15
(16:49):
minutes. We open on a retelling of past
events through the eyes of Tales's comic book.
Our story so far. Using his amazing detective
skills, Captain or Etcetera discovered Robotnik was sending
a supply blimp, a supply blimp to an underboss in Down Under.
Halfway around Mobius. Tales tracked the blimp battling
(17:13):
deadly SWAT bots, after which heencountered his old enemy
Octobot, whom he easily defeated.
Along the way, he befriended the40 Fathoms Freedom Fighters.
OK, so I'm going to Pulp Fictionthis and interrupt and
congratulate you on that incredible monologue.
Well done I was. Very impressed, very annoyed the
(17:35):
entire time. I I could tell well.
It it took like an hour to get these two fucking items and then
I watched like a dude just stealliterally like $300 worth of
groceries and I'm just sitting there being like I should just
steal everything because what the fuck?
You're a good person. I mean no, I I the guy stealing
groceries was better than me. I should have stolen from
(17:57):
Walmart. Respect, honestly respect from
Walmart. Can't hate on it.
Yeah, I, I don't, I don't care about Walmart.
It was, I was just so fucking pissed 'cause I was like, just
get they, they designed the system in such a fucking way
where it just makes everything take longer.
And it's just something that should take 10 minutes.
(18:20):
Literally took an hour of my life.
And I'm like, why? Why are we doing this?
Why shop here? I might as well just go to
Amazon and fucking ship it to a locker.
And yeah, it's fine. Walgreens, a chicago-based, I
mean it's all over the country, but it's chicago-based,
headquartered. They, they recently came out in
(18:44):
like the past year they came outwith, I think it was earnings
calls and it was like poor. It was, it was quite poor and a
variety of reasons. But everyone was railing on
Walgreens about how, hey, maybe if you just didn't have like the
deodorant and shavers behind lock and screen, maybe you'd be
more inclined. Like if you cared if you gave
(19:05):
less of a shit about shoplifters, which is such a a
drop in the bucket of your losses, then maybe maybe people
would care more. For them, they they do it so
they can put the blame on the consumer.
Yeah. And the consumer and then go for
these, we'll say, Republican talking points as a reason as to
(19:30):
why the stores are failing. But like the the truth of the
matter is, like most of the timeit's just because the property
that they're in is too expensiveand they can't match profits and
stuff with that area. And then they don't want to say
real estate is the issue. So they go and yeah, yeah.
(19:51):
I I think. From what I understand that that
seemed to be the issue. That makes way more sense
honestly. Way more than shoplifting, which
is. It's not shoplifting is a drop
in the bucket. That's not a real issue.
Like it's a yes. I I'm not going to say it's not
an issue. It's like it it is an issue but.
Not for like the store manager and like the cashier who has to
(20:12):
get involved. It isn't like an issue for like
corporate. 100%, I think that's.What I'm trying to say.
Yeah, if you see someone steal something, no, you didn't know,
you fucking. Especially when it's food or
baby products or anything like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
To be clear, if it's like a small mom and pop store and
they're stealing like bullshit items, then sure.
(20:33):
But yeah, Walmart, Walgreens, fucking any of those kind of
big, big, big, big big chains, fuck them.
Who gives a shit? Agreed.
All right, here we go. Tales continue surfing on the
back of Fluke, the Big Blue Whale, with the 40 Fathoms
Freedom Fighters following suit.Well done.
Just a good sentence, I like it.Fluke swims up to a giant steep
(20:56):
Cliff, which seems to be the continent of Down Under.
Tale says his goodbyes and fliesup to the New World, who cuts a
Crock bot who was receiving a message of an intruder entering
the land of Down Under. He sends his squad of mechanical
winged dingoes to take care of Tales as he flies into his
country. Tales puts up a fight, ducking
(21:18):
and weaving, dodging a lot of the dingoes and even took out a
few. Still, there were too many.
Tales gets knocked out and crashes into the ground below.
This seems to be the end of Tales when suddenly the Down
Under Freedom fighters pop out of nowhere and start fighting
off the herd of flying dingoes. At this moment I would like to
(21:41):
make a quick plea to the writersof the Sonic the Hedgehog comic.
Please stop making everyone freedom fighters.
It makes it seem like a giant organization with factions, and
while my gut says that will happen in the future, it hasn't
yet and it's just confusing. Anyway, let me introduce the
Down Under Freedom fighters. Walt Wallaby.
(22:01):
Orange fur, brown vest, brown gloves.
Barbie Koala White, Gray and black fur, red gloves, red boots
and a brown sash. Wombat Stew Yellow with Gray
boots, Gray hat and blue gloves.Guru Ebu Purplish Gray with a
white T-shirt that I'm sure would have been tie dyed but the
(22:23):
colorist put their foot down andsaid no.
Peace sign necklace. Red John Lennon glasses and an
orange yellow headband. Duck Bill Platypus.
Teal colored platypus with purple gloves and shoes and
goggles on his head. The Down Under freedom fighters
fight off the herd. Walt Wallaby.
(22:44):
All right, here we go. This is the you didn't you
didn't describe the animals. I should say.
Oh, oh, sorry. They are they are the animals.
That is the name. It's in the name.
Yeah, they're all the yeah. So maybe I should have?
No, no, you shouldn't have. I'm stupid.
That was fucking dumb. Is we, we've had platypuses in
the past and they don't look like this platypus.
Yeah. So it's like a different version
of the, it's like the Australianplatypus.
(23:06):
I don't know. I actually don't know what a
wallaby looks like. So you said you wrote here
orange first. So this is like the leader,
right? Yeah.
OK. For some reason I thought it was
a Kangaroos. Look like Kangaroos.
Yeah. Is that, is that how they are in
real life? I don't know.
Yeah, they're they're, they're smaller.
Marsupial. Yeah, I think they're thicker.
(23:28):
Mammalian, I can say that for sure.
OK, guess what, team pound thesepuppies and send them back to
their crocodilian creator will teach him to gang up on this
little guy. The Freedom Fighters destroy
some of the dingoes while other dingoes escape.
Tales tries to speak up but is badly hurt.
(23:50):
No, not not little I can handle myself.
Tales passes out. OK.
This is Guru Emu. Guru Emo.
One second, I just need to know what like an emu?
Like it like squawks or like emusalad?
It's a bird, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the sound of
(24:12):
an emu. One second, huh?
It's a lot deeper. It's like a lot of like growly
noises. Really.
OK, well I do enough growling with various characters, so I'm
not. Gonna do that.
Do whatever you're originally going to.
Do do it dude. Dig it dude.
He said something. Oh, you're just doing John Le.
I'm just doing John Le. You said John Lennon, so I'm
going to do John Lennon. Yeah.
(24:33):
All right. Yeah, it's obviously probably
what they were thinking when they did it.
The shitty Animaniacs wacko impersonation of Window Star,
which itself is a shitty accent for me to try and attempt.
So anyway, so back to Walt Wallaby.
Speak up mate. I'm Walt Wallaby, leader of the
DFF and then Barbie Koala. So Barbie Koala?
(24:58):
What color is Barbie Koala you said?
White with some grey and she's got oh, I wonder if that's like.
The feminine presenting one, yesOK, he passed out the youngsters
badly hurt. Just then, a winged dingo that
escaped from the fight earlier circles back and snatches wombat
Stew. Walt puts tails in his pouch and
(25:19):
Barbie Guru and Bill all chance after the all chase after the
winged dingo that snatched snoo that snatched Stew.
I just want to say here there's and.
It's not your fault, but there'sbeen a lot of alliteration in
this script. Some of it was my fault, some of
it I was like, I'm I'm leaning into it.
(25:40):
We cut the crocbot's lair. Robotnik appears on a monitor.
Crocbot, the supply blimp is about to make landfall.
Have you dealt with the intruder?
You betcha. Triple chins I have here come by
wing dingoes. Well, some of them.
One of the beat up wing dingoes lands next to him.
(26:01):
Crocbot immediately moves himself in between the dingo and
monitor blocking robotics view. What's going on?
I can't see. Get out of the way Crocbot, I'm
am experiencing technical difficulties.
He then smashes the monitor withhis tail, ending the
transmission. He turns his attention to the
(26:23):
winged dingo. What's going on eh?
Are you trying to make me look bad?
The wing dingo cowers in fear and whimpers.
Freedom fighters? What, That ragtag bunch of
doogooders trashed your whole squadron here?
(26:44):
Are you poised to run all of Down Under and eventually
Mobius? Now I get humiliated by these
hateful heroes. Just then, another flying
dingbat comes into the room, carrying wombat Stew.
Well, well, if it isn't wombat Stew.
(27:05):
He places wombat Stew on a table, and he is locked down.
Crockbot calls Robotnik back. Sorry about that.
Bit of a trouble with one of thelocals.
I assume you've dealt with it. Of course, of course.
See, he started the torture device.
(27:26):
Robotnik confirms with Crockbot that the blimp with his
materials is approaching. Robotnik removes the
invisibility shield so that Crockbot's minions can guide the
blimp into his hangar. Robotnik abruptly hangs up,
saying that he's got his own problems to deal with over in
Robotropolis. Crockbot then turns on his
surveillance system to see if the Down Under Freedom Fighters
(27:47):
are nearby, assuming that they are coming to rescue Wombat
Stew. So predictable this time out
perfectly. This should time out perfectly
with the arrival of a Botnick supply blimp.
The supply blimp appears directly over the Down Under.
Freedom Fighters 4 out. Oh, hold on.
(28:09):
Getting back into the John Lennon or the the wacko.
I'd like to be under the sea. It is octane 4 out.
You can lead a horse to water. Well, a Zeppelin has to be LED.
Walt. Walt pipes up again.
(28:33):
So many characters in a short amount of time.
Walt is the leader, right? You have to remind me.
OK. Thank you.
Walt is the leader, yes. That little fox was muttering
about it as soon as I carried him.
It's an Airbus loaded with weapons and equipment to for our
enemy Crock Butt. Crockbot's always been a 2 bit
hood, but if that ship gets through it'll become a super
(28:54):
villain. The freedom fighters all start
rushing Crockbot's fortress, which looks like the Sydney's
which looks like the Sydney Opera House.
We cut to what is simply known as the Crater.
This is where Walt Wallaby brought Tails.
Tails wakes up on a stone slab. Oh oh but my aching everything.
(29:17):
Anybody got the number of that bus?
Woo ha, I remember now. The dogs wallaby, where'd he
bring me? Tails looks around and sees that
he's at the bottom of a pit withwalls going hundreds of feet in
the sky. He grabs up off the slab and
hears some chanting. Tails follows the voices and
(29:38):
comes across the ancient walkersfrom the Triple Trouble special.
He then hears a voice coming from the shadows.
All right, So what? What do you think?
What are you thinking about? Affair?
Another old ass Enchidna. I mean, all the old enchidnas
are going to sound the same, right?
This guy is clearly an Aussie. He's.
Not that old, but. He's not that old.
(30:01):
What are you looking at? Are we looking at the same guy?
He's not that old. He's not like ancient.
He's not he's not like Gray. There's no graying in his hair.
I. Think he's like in his 40s.
Yeah, he gives. He's giving off.
Like, I mean, look, you're living in caves and shit, right?
That that that does probably. Like aid you a little bit
faster. OK, OK.
I accept it. I accept it.
(30:22):
So what are, what are you thinking here?
Just just loud booming? No, you, you give him the Aussie
flare. I mean, Aussie flare makes sense
in the context of like, well, wedon't know how long he's been
living here. But he might have picked up the
accent. Yeah.
Can you? Do can you do Brooklyn Aussie
(30:43):
with a hint of Brooklyn? So an Aussie that moved to
Brooklyn? Because in my mind now, Brooklyn
is like the the native tongue ofthe echidnas.
No, if anything it's Knuckles. That's because he's so isolated.
He just developed that accent byhimself.
You're probably right, but I like my theory a lot more.
(31:08):
All right, so, so what's, what'sthe Brooklyn accent?
It is all right. Come on.
Come on. Over here.
Come on. I'm walking here.
I don't know if that's Brooklyn,but still.
It's it's close enough. I would hear that in Brooklyn.
These so OK where where am I Tails is wrong ancient walkers.
(31:31):
He then hears a voice coming from the shadows.
And then these they have 4 bearsthesey.
So the the straight Brooklyn would be these they have 4
bears. Young mph, you have too much to
learn and this time's already growing.
The time already grows short. So there's like 1 dimension we
got to do Aussie and then like epic Aussie shit, dude, these
(32:02):
are your four best malls power young malls power.
You have much to learn and Tom already and Tom and Tom already
grows short. It's it's it already there's
such heavy, heavy accents that you there is no middle ground.
(32:23):
There is no middle ground. I'm sure it.
Is very funny listening to you attempt us though.
Yeah, a silhouette of a knucklesesque figure appears, but with a
cane of and a hunched back. That silhouette because.
That's why I think he's old. Come on, man.
He's got a cane. He's.
Got a hunched that silhouette, those dreadlocks.
(32:44):
It's you knuckles. I don't know why like this makes
it sound. Like enters this.
You got to get into character this.
Is, Yeah, like this guy over here, you know, it's like
something Bugs Bunny would do. And Bugs Bunny is canonically
Brooklyn, I think. OK.
Or like, that's that's the voice.
(33:07):
No, I'm not a kid now. Gazaflown Island, though.
My though my blood flows throughhis veins.
And what of your blood double tail?
What? And what of your blood double
tail? Is that what he says?
Yeah, you're right. That's what he says.
And and what of your blood double tail?
It's I I did it. There should have been a, but
that's. Not your fault, there should
(33:28):
have been a comma. That's the writers.
Yeah, and what of? Your blood double tail.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and what of your blood
double tail? Are you indeed the Chosen 1?
Are you indeed the Chosen One? We shall know.
We must know. You are mine, body and soul.
(33:52):
So speaks a fair. Tails gulps.
Gulp. Indeed.
Who is this weird old guy and whatever his intentions, will
Tails be able to rejoin the DownUnder Freedom Fighters in their
final confrontation with Crockbot?
Beyond that, will he ever go home?
Does he even want to answer? Answers to these questions, plus
(34:16):
more surprises in the final chapter of Southern Crossover,
on sale December of 1995. Before we continue, I just want
to say that I do not read ahead.We do.
I write it record, and then I write the next one.
(34:37):
This is definitely the crater ofAngel Island, right?
It has to be Yeah, it like it you're it has to be.
Angel Island came from down on the I believe you.
I 100% believe you that you did not look ahead.
Fucking I just, oh man, when, when that happened, I literally
did like a fuck Yeah. I, I was so excited.
(34:57):
I crushed it well, and it makes sense.
It's suddenly I'm fine. I'm like actually OK with all
the weird Aussie undertones of Angel Island now because it
clearly just came from Australiaand.
It's like, OK, there's a connection.
There is like a sociological explanation to it, and that's
(35:18):
really, really cool. I like that.
Yeah, no, I was actually like, OK, I'm pretty into this.
I'm very intrigued as to like what happened and why this
happened. I'm also intrigued as to why the
can the ancient walkers just like teleport or do they like
leave Angel Island and come backor I don't know what their deal
(35:39):
is, right. But I mean, I guess maybe we'll
find out. I just wanted to say I fucking
called it. I was, I was so I almost like
texted you being like, I fuckingcrushed the shit.
Well, obviously we don't film ourselves when we read, but if
we had filmed each other, if it filmed ourselves, it would have
been like I would have made, I think I made like an O face,
like, oh shit. Oh yeah, 100%.
(36:02):
I was rooting for it. Yeah, man.
All right, let's What are we? What are we thinking?
I'm kind of, I'm kind of cool with this one.
I, I, I think I am. So I know I did a whole rant
last episode about all the different freedom fighters and
all the different the name. Besides, you made that rant in
the script and I agree with it. Like you're, you're stripping
(36:24):
the opportunity for unique namesand unique character like
character implicit character development by having unique
names. Instead, they're all just blank
freedom fighters, which doesn't make sense because why?
Why are the freedom fighters original?
Just the freedom fighters and then everyone else is a variant
of that. Anyway, that aside, I do kind of
fuck with it because it's it, itis each team is unique enough
(36:52):
that and they keep on doing it where I'm like, OK, the even
though it's it feels annoying that the individuality of each
character is like, OK, you're trying to push something here.
Maybe it's AI Don't I don't knowif they're, I don't think
they're intentionally pushing a toy line.
I think they're genuinely tryingto come up with new characters
(37:14):
every single time. And I, I can kind of respect
that. But the more they do it and as
long as they get some time to shine, I'm OK with it.
I'm actually cool with it because if you it's a growing
movement, I should say this, this anti fascist movement
throughout the planet Mobius. Yeah.
(37:36):
Have you recognized any of thesepeople yet from like to just
like from your previous knowledge of Sonic before doing
this? No, not at all.
These are, to my knowledge, completely unique characters to
the Archie comic and everything.Yeah, the the the most obscure
(37:59):
game like early game characters are probably like being the duck
and mighty the armadillo. I think of those who have
recently come back in the most most recent as of this recording
like game where you can swap them out for the 2.
Instead of 2D Sonic, you get 2D Bean and Mighty.
(38:20):
But these are truly unique characters.
Yeah, to Archie. The the Wombat is the first
character I've seen where I've been like, oh, I recognize him.
I never knew who he was, but I've definitely like seen him
before. I mean, I used to read like fan
comics when I was like 10 or 11.So I'm sure he was like in
(38:42):
something like that. I, I didn't know who he was.
I was just, and I knew he was from the comics.
I just assumed he was like Sonic's cousin or something like
his his like Aussie cousin like no joke because of the hat and
like or like he's like a truck driver or something.
Yeah, he gives. He gives off that vibe.
Yeah, 1000%. You didn't.
You didn't give me any lines forthat, which is totally fine.
(39:05):
I'm already like using it a lot but I'm using a lot of them but
I I would have given like more. Yeah, I mean, there's still next
issue. Yeah, like you're right, like
more of an awesome like a trucker vibe to to him, but not
even like what you would. I don't know what you think of.
I don't know what anyone thinks a trucker is by default, but for
some reason he's giving more like Canadian trucker vibe.
(39:26):
You know what I'm talking about.You got to have you ever seen
the movie Big Trouble in Little China?
Dude, OK, a long, long time ago.All I remember is that there was
the pool scene where there were the topless women in the
villains like mansion. And I was like as a kid I was
like, oh shit, that's cool. But no, I don't remember much of
that movie. No, I don't remember what you're
(39:49):
talking about. My I.
This is gonna sound like a weirdstretch.
Does that by any chance Conan the Barbarian you're thinking
of? No, no, it's not because.
It's not because. No, it OK because I don't
remember topless women in Big trouble in Little China, but I
do remember a bunch of topless women near a pool in Conan the
Barbarian. You could have been watching the
TV edit or something. No, no, I own the Blu-ray.
(40:11):
OK, I don't. Know I'm not going to die on
this hill. Yeah.
No, no, no, no, it's fine. But what what you need to do is
before next issue, I need you tosit down and watch Big Trouble
Little China, and I need you to try to mimic Kurt Russell's
voice when he's doing like the CB radio and then add a little
(40:36):
bit of an Aussie accent to it. OK, we got freaking more
assignments now for the show I'll.
I'll send you a link to exactly what I'm thinking.
Of that. That would help.
That would actually help, yes. Yeah.
That's really fun. That's really funny, though.
I am. I'm eager to try it.
I'm eager to try it. Yeah, I, I, there's not much to
say about this one only because it's like kind of the middle my
(40:59):
and I don't even want to really say it's a critique yet.
I don't like the direction, but I won't know until the 3rd
issue. But the thing that I'm not
liking about this is this is supposed to be Tails's mini
series. And so far it's been the
(41:19):
underwater freedom fighter guys saving the day and Tales was
getting this shit kicked out of them.
And then we got the Aussie freedom fighters saving.
They getting the shit kicked outof them.
It it seems like if I was makingthis, that's like a thing where
Tales saves the day in the thirdissue and it's supposed to be
like culminating like all the experience.
(41:41):
I don't know what like what experiences Tales is learning
though. Like he hasn't learned anything.
He's seen the shit kicked out ofhim.
He's unconscious for he's unconscious for a lot of this.
Yeah, what I'll say it. Yeah, he really is.
I, I'm going to be like, legitimately upset if Tales ends
(42:05):
up just not doing anything by issue #3 if Tales isn't the one
saving the day in like a dramatic way.
This is a miniseries not for Tales, but just to introduce new
characters. Yes, making making.
The. Making the miniseries feel like
fan fiction for the characters it's supposed to be.
(42:29):
So. Representing.
Yeah, I can't, Can't, can't complain about it yet until the
next issue. But I don't like the direction
they're going down is where I'm at.
And even though I said in general I'm cool with them
introducing more resistance people overall, you literally
just introduced a whole ass teamin the first part of this mid
(42:52):
three-part miniseries and now another one in the middle.
That's so many characters, my guy.
Well, and that's why I don't think Tales is going to like
there's two there's two ways this goes one, Tales saves the
day completely or B Tales says Jack shit and the Australian
(43:13):
Freedom fighters and the Ocean Freedom fighters team up in a
way to save the day Tales. Could lead them.
Tales could be leading them. The the most I see happening is
Tales being like, hey, we need to get in the ocean.
I know a few guys let me call them.
And then he then he takes a stepback.
That's I don't know, we'll see. But I I'm I'm upset that my boy
(43:38):
Tails isn't. He's being poorly written here.
What is his? What is his arc so far?
What is his arc? He doesn't have one.
That's the thing. He's not learning any lessons.
Or at least let me rephrase that.
I'm not seeing anything that could be setting up for a lesson
for him to learn. Yeah, there's no, there's no
(43:58):
growth. And you know, an ark doesn't
even have to be growth. It can be a regression.
Or a. Covenant, but but there's
nothing really much going on here.
Foretale, specifically the name.Are we just misunderstanding the
point of a miniseries? No, I think this is this is the
(44:19):
the writers not doing well in that specific regard, right.
So this is, I mean, OK, maybe you're actually right.
Maybe we are missed like understanding is.
This a comic book tradition? Yeah.
Is this a comic book tradition? And someone who hasn't read a
lot of comic books, you you might actually be right.
But to me, I would think that these miniseries would be the
(44:43):
perfect time to really expand the characters and like flesh
them out in ways that we don't really get the opportunity to in
the main series. And every single miniseries so
far, I feel like I squandered that opportunity And so and just
use the opportunity to introducemore characters.
(45:03):
And I mean we even the Princess Sally miniseries left me with a
bad taste in the mouth because it just like I'm not impressed
with any of these miniseries so far.
I think, I think I, I concur, and I think Sally's miniseries
was better than Tales of miniseries in terms of the
(45:25):
growth or in terms of like showing more of the character.
I agree. So again, we can't, we can't
judge, right? But at least at least Sally was
doing something. You alluded to this last
episode, so we'll talk about it now.
What do you think about Down Under as a place?
I mean, it's just. It's just Australia, of course.
(45:47):
Well, it's just Australia, but also they haven't expanded on
it. There's no society.
There's nothing to comment on because so far I've seen desert
the Sydney Opera House and that's it.
To to be kind of Fair, just devil's advocate, I guess.
Australia is a massive place where there's so much Outback
(46:09):
and obviously there's urban areas, but it's dwarfed by just
how much Outback there is in wilderness.
Just big wilderness, borderline wasteland of a place.
What what I'll say is if you look at a population map of
Australia, it's all along the coast.
And where did tales come in? On the coast, you're right.
That's a good point. I I know some things about
(46:31):
geography, bitch, you're not always the smart one.
No, but yeah, I mean, this is, we don't know what I mean.
This is based on Australia. It's a fake Australia, right?
Because we've concluded that this is an Earth.
So they just draw inspiration from Earth.
(46:53):
It's not Earth, but they do mention.
They they make a lot of references to Earth and I think
that's just how they write. Yeah.
And I we've said before, we don't like that.
I mean, and if it is Earth, I'm going to be so fucking pissed if
they do some stupid retcon wherethey're just like, Oh yeah, it
was Earth, all the log and therewas some mutant wave that
happened and this is. No, I don't think they do that.
(47:15):
I'm. Going to be so fucking pissed.
Because. This is that is the exact,
that's the exact thing I expect from this fucking comic.
Just let things be things. Doesn't have to be all Earth or
connected or it's fine. It's fine.
Back to this comic, like I said,there's not much to say because
(47:37):
like we're just it's all set up for the next issue.
We we get the wombat kind of caught.
He's hanging out, just trapped like the James Bond he is.
You think this comic so far in its current iteration here in
199596, does it have the balls to kill people?
No, no, I don't think so either.I don't think.
(47:59):
I don't. Not yet.
I think it will. I'm not a bet, but I'm going to
make a call. I don't think we're going to see
AI, don't think we're going to see a major good guy death
'cause, you know, the bad guy robots die all the time.
But I don't think we're going tosee a major good guy death
(48:22):
until, let's see, 1999, 99. I'm going to make that call
right now. I think, OK, so I'm going to,
I'm going to talk this out. We're in 96 right now.
(48:43):
Yes. I I think when does the show
Sonic the Hedgehog act? Oh, OK.
OK, so the TV show's already done.
I think they're trying probably Sonic Underground right now.
Oh, 99. OK, so my gut says 97 is a weird
(49:12):
year for Sonic where they're trying to figure out what to do
with him. And I think the comic is going
to be able to kind of get away with some shit.
And I think, I think by the timeSonic Adventure comes out, it's
going to get weirder and they'regoing to put more of a restraint
(49:33):
on it because Sonic Adventures coming out and they want to
like. Family friendly.
Like be on top of everything, befriendly, family friendly.
I bet if there's anything crazy like that, that would happen, it
would happen between now and therelease of Sonic Adventure.
Or. Sonic Adventure 2.
OK, I'm with it. I'm with it.
(49:57):
And then after that, I think it becomes very, you don't get any
of that weird shit anymore. Exactly what?
Weird shit like like character deaths or what?
Yeah, character's deaths and stuff like that.
I think maybe we'll see a resurgence in like the mid 2000s
(50:19):
or but still either before or after Ian Flynn gets involved
because I the vibe I got during my during that time when I like
actual time when I was growing up, there was so much edgy shit
going on in the 2000s. Just in general, the culture was
(50:40):
edgy. But in the Sonic comics
specifically, I think it was popping off at that time.
So we'll probably get a second wave of that because that's,
that's what I was originally going to say.
But then you mentioned that and I'm like, that's a good point.
They want, they want to try stuff and then pull it back for
adventure. I like that or that seems like a
good prediction. Who do you think they kill if
(51:02):
they kill anyone? Do you think the character we
know already? No, I don't think so.
I think I think the core is too good of a core to like to spoil,
to not spoil. But to kill for comics that's a
killing permanently is extremelyhard to do.
Gwen Stacy Doing a Gwen Stacy isextremely difficult for comics
(51:24):
to do unless it's a very, you know, short narrative thing.
My push back. Maybe push back isn't the right
word. I don't think the character has
been introduced. I don't think the character has
been introduced yet that that isgoing to be killed.
There's there's a few things in my mind that I'm just going to
(51:45):
talk out. One is I think if I was Sega
right, I would not like any of these comics because it is.
All based off of Sega. Of Japan, yes, correct, because
it's all based off of ATV show that was failed that they didn't
(52:06):
have any say and and it's creating a bunch of lore and
stuff that they're not like really they're like kind of
giving guidelines on and not paying super close attention.
And it's very obvious with the reboot of all the Sonic stuff
that or I, I shouldn't say very obvious because I haven't seen,
(52:28):
I haven't read the IDW stuff, but I flipped through pages and
there's, I have not seen any Mobian people from the Freedom
Fighters or anything like that. It's a big point of contention
that I'm aware of, which is thatbring back the freedom fighters,
you know, etcetera. And I I would think the original
(52:49):
freedom fighters. So rotor buns.
And Sally. And Sally, if there was a
chopping block, they would be the ones on it, right?
And just to be clear, we're talking about in story character
death, Yes. OK.
(53:10):
OK. If I am Sega and I've created a
character, say named Amy Rose, who is Sonic's love interest, I
don't know if I'd want this other love interest mucking
(53:33):
things up that is from America and you know, not not they have
no real say in I. I mean, they technically I bet
have a say, but you know what I mean.
Like give. Sonic give Sonic is proper
Japanese waifu, not not this American bitch.
If I was making those types of decisions, I I would, I would
(53:56):
say get rid of Sally. Which I think they did, they
just they not get rid of concertedly.
It feels like it was more of a 'cause we don't know, but it
feels like it was more of a. Do you think they just like made
her like a queen or something and put her off to the side?
No, I think that, well, the series just stops, right?
It just stops dead in his trackswith no with no ending.
(54:17):
Like in terms of like I'm talking about.
The business. Series I'm talking about like 98
I'm talking. Like. 2000, yeah.
I think it's safe to say the freedom fighters will go well
into the 2000s OK in their current iteration.
I I think that's, I see that as like a spoiler that I'm pretty
(54:37):
sure I've seen more of them intothe 2000s, but I probably well,
no, because Ian Flynn takes overand you're speculating from a
point of like right now. That way we don't know anything
else. Well, I, I'm also, I mean, yeah,
I personally. Don't know anything.
Else I'm just I'm speculating, Iguess I'm kind of gaming it, but
(54:58):
I'm I'm looking at it from a like.
I set it up that way. Yeah, that's fine.
If I was on the business side ofSega and I'd be looking at this
fucking comic and I'm like, well, one place where I would
have to draw a line, I think would be the love interest.
Yeah, that's a, that's a massivepart of a character's branding
(55:19):
and storyline and all that stuff.
So that I can I can see that I think it's interesting with both
of them, which we haven't seen in the comic.
It just in my mind, I would think these two have very
different personalities. I think that that would be a
really cool contrast. And Sally herself already has
two lovely trusts. Oh, you know what?
OK. Going back to my original
question, I think Jeffrey St. John.
(55:41):
Jeffrey's saying John's gonna gonna get him at some point
gonna. Eat it.
I I think so too. I hope so.
I wanna see that guy die. Not because Sally deserves to be
with Sonic, but just because youdon't like the character.
Yeah, mainly I I hope, I hope. Yeah.
He's just a fucking Connor man. You don't.
(56:02):
You don't like the character period.
Like on a meta. Level so fucking much.
I hate him so fucking much man. I don't want him near my Sonic.
I don't want him near Sally. I don't want him near Sonic.
I don't want him near Buns. Everyone else is fine from the
alternate freedom. Well I guess they're not part of
the alternate freedom fighters cause Jeffrey Saint John was his
(56:23):
own thing. Yeah, correct.
It was the His Majesty Secret Service.
That sounds correct. Something like that.
The Secret Service. I just, I just think we need
more Hamlin and then just get rid of everyone else.
Where's Where's my Hamlin miniseries?
Hamlin is like tails in the sense that they just go.
They just go for it, man. The critical difference OK if
(56:45):
there's. Hamlin and Tails just tear shit
up. Dude that's a deadly combo.
The the the critical difference is that Hamlin can actually fuck
shit up as a fighter, just as a brawler.
It seems like he just brawls andthen but tails he gets involved
and he has the power of flight which often saves his ass, but
he doesn't. He's not quite as a physical of
(57:08):
a guy. I want I want a karate kid esque
mini story with Hamlin and taleswhere and that could have been
this Hamlin is Mr. Miyagi and teach him how to fucking fight.
Yes, could not, yeah. I'm sorry I'm coming up with
better ideas. Fucking Sonic Archie writers.
I don't think Hamlin gives off as much.
(57:29):
Yeah, I don't think Hamlin givesoff as much Mr. Miyagi vibes.
It's more like who's who's Rocky's trainer?
Fuck, I know this. You know what I'm talking about.
He was. In the 1st 4 movies or
something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mickey was in Mickey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds right. I don't know if that's right
though. It's Mickey.
I'm like, because it's Mickey's gym, yeah.
(57:50):
OK, OK. Yeah, I, I see.
It bro this is this is a tangenton another tangent I want to
give. Me, Rocky, give me.
I want to watch Rocky. I want to watch the whole Rocky
series with you at some point. I want to watch.
It I mean, this is a side thing,but you, you do know, Baraki's
like one of my favorite series of all time.
(58:11):
Right. Oh, I know.
We've talked about it. We've talked about it.
Extensively. I don't know what we talked
about on the podcast and whatnot.
I think it was specifically, oh,I don't know about all the
podcasts, but just in real life we've talked about Creed and how
good Creed is, at least the first one.
Yeah, Creed 1 is great, Creed 2 is pretty good, Creed 3 is
interesting and I feel like theychanged the story at some point
and Creed 3 makes more sense if Rocky was dead the whole time
(58:35):
and he's like talking to Rocky'sghost and that it.
I thought for sure that's what they were setting up and then
yeah, Creed 3's good. It's not great.
It's the weakest of the Creed movies.
It's very. Creed, I can't.
I can't train you. I can't train you no more.
I got to be a Hollywood ambassador for the president.
(58:57):
Yeah, we don't. We don't talk about real life
Stallone because talk about disappointing, but I don't know
how to work this. Michael B Jordan was very
influenced with anime when doingthat movie.
And I think there's a differencebetween I I, I feel like I
(59:20):
shouldn't say anything. I feel like I need to rewatch
the movie because I only saw it the one time and I saw it in
theaters. I like, I personally loved it,
but also thought it was kind of hokey.
It's it worked for the movie that Michael B Jordan was
making, but if he tried to do that in any other movie, I think
it'd be horrible in terms of theshots that he was deciding on
(59:43):
and whatnot. Because he was doing very
stylized, but stylized in the anime sense where it would be
like, I, I would see this in like, why, why can't I think of
anything? I'm blanking.
But like everything, it feels like a UU hockey shield fight or
(01:00:03):
something where everything was black around them.
It's just them in the ring and they're fighting and it's, and
then there's like, it's fine. I, I don't know what I'm trying
to say. I, I need to rewatch Creed 3.
So maybe we'll just sit down andwatch all the Creed movies and
then I'll. Talking to a microphone about
how good each one of them are. And we ignore the weird rapey
(01:00:25):
aspects of certain parts of the movies because everything else
is really good. It's just, you know, maybe,
maybe I. Might cut all of that.
I I didn't. This is my fault.
I shouldn't have even hinted at Rocky at any point in time
'cause that's an immediate like off ramp A. 20 minute rant.
Yeah, it's super is. But yeah, we we can just ignore
(01:00:50):
how racist and sucky what's yourface's brother is and we can
ignore some of the weird kind ofrapey aspects of their
relationship. It's fine.
We should maybe end this. Yes.
And that's the issue. Only 386 left to go.
I'm Nick. I stream at

podcast, Sarnic and I I've. Been trying you to promote this
for years. Did I talk about this last
(01:01:32):
episode? You didn't?
No, I don't think so. So I just did a three-part
miniseries for a podcast that explores the Chicagoland ICE
raids of winter 2025 and talked to a lot of people, a lot of
local leaders in the suburbs as well as in the city, and went
over know your rights, you know,information, stuff like that,
(01:01:55):
specifically for migrants. Fun fact, administrative warrant
extremely different from a judicial warrant.
And ICE will happily fool you into thinking it's the judicial
warrant if you don't read the fine prints.
If you don't look for the judge's signature, You need the
judge's signature for a warrant.If you don't see a judge's
signature, you can tell them. You can just stop talking to
them and shut the blinds. Also, don't let them in your
(01:02:18):
house. OK?
And you can follow me on Blue Sky at Domguan.
