Got to talk fast. Got to talk fast.
Got to talk faster, faster, faster.
Got to talk fast. Little STD to get the show on
the road. What?
Welcome to an oral review of Archie comic Sonic the Hedgehog,
reminding you that InternationalWorkers Day or Mayday started
here in Chicago in 1886 at the height of the Gilded Age.

(00:23):
The American Federation of Laborcalled for a national general
strike on May 1st. 3 days later,on May 4th, a bomb was thrown by
an unknown assailant into a police line at Haymarket Square,
Chicago. The then nation merked 7 cops
and caused the police to open fire on the demonstrators,

(00:43):
killing at least four and wounding others. 8 anarchists
were indicted on conspiracy charges for potentially building
the bomb. Only two were actually at
Haymarket at the time and no onewas charged with throwing the
explosive. 7 of the 8 were executed.
Fuck man, sorry I wasn't expecting to read that sucks.

(01:06):
Seven of the eight were executed.
The trial was a circus with the presumption of guilt emanating
emanating with a presumption of guilt emanating from the judge
and jury, among many others. That would trigger a mistrial
today. Would it?
Would it actually trigger a mistrial?
Today, I think, I think so, justbecause shit was so crazy back

(01:30):
then and we have like the ACLU now and like cameras.
And cameras. They can't.
I don't even know if they help. The whole thing now known as
Haymarket Affair caused such a stir among the left that a
Haymarket Martyrs monument was built and leftist to this day
still celebrate May 1st across the world as a labor tradition.

(01:52):
It is too many, The holiday of the left.
Where's the monument? It's it's.
It's in a cemetery, I forget where exactly it's.
I just know I see it on the highway driving and I'm like,
that's nowhere near Haymarket. So that that always just
confused me, yeah. I believe the the Martyrs
monument is at a cemetery. I forget where the actual

(02:16):
square, Haymarket Square, which still exists today is.
It's near the loop I think it's in.
I think it's either in the Loop or in West Town.
It's in West, Yeah, it's a pretty good drinking spot.
Oh cool. Yeah, and there's a, there is a,
a separate monument at the exactsite where the horse cart was,
where a speech was given. And then after that the bomb
went off. Yeah, all.

(02:36):
Right. So we are recording this.
This is this is a monumental day, Nick.
This is the first episode of. Got to talk fast.
We're deleting everything. We're like, you know what?
This is where the real story starts.
We don't. We don't need everything else.
Everything else is just filler. Man, we can call that season 0.
Season 0 this is This is the first episode of the second.

(03:03):
Generation phase. Generation of Bobby Schroeder's
reading order called the freedomfight.
And this appears to be more of like a mainline thing where
we've set up these characters now and you have the general
vibe of all of them. And what I'm assuming based off
what we've read in this first issue of this section is that

(03:24):
it's going to be more. Shit's about to.
Get real classic adventures. From what I could, yeah.
From what I can tell, chili dogsare back.
Yeah. And also today is also Mayday,
which is why I wrote that. Yeah, I came back.
I recently came back from protests that happened in
Chicago. Came from Union Park.
I thought that was tomorrow. No, today's May 1st.
Today is May. I don't, I don't know what time,

(03:44):
man. I don't get it.
So yeah, you know, yeah, you know, today's May 1st.
You're good. That's it.
Follow my Instagram for more. If you think about it, because
time is an illusion, every day is May 1st.
That that is a chant that was said is every day is mayday
because it's a union thing. So every day should be worker

(04:08):
conscious, yeah. Yeah, that was, that was that's
that's what I was going for. I'm glad you picked up on that.
OK. We are reading this is our first
time back in a. Week we, we are kind of out of
the, we'll say the usual, yeah, I haven't seen Dominic in
months, like physically. Yeah, it's been a minute.

(04:30):
It's. Been a minute.
Yeah, and we're not going out drinking tonight, unfortunately,
so do it in our. Or are we going to Haymarket
Square and getting shit faced? I mean, that'd be pretty fun
actually. I do wonder if like shit happens
at Haymarket Square on Mayday it.
Seems like we need to investigate.
We need to start that tradition.I still have my press badge.

(04:54):
That's rock'n'roll. Yeah, let's do it.
OK, we are reading, but first we're reading.
Oh yeah, Sonic number. Issue number. 30 issue #30
Released in October of 1995. Published in January of 1996.
The Return of Uncle Chuck, Part 1.
This is a big one for us. Script by Angelo de Cesare and

(05:16):
pencil by Art Mahoney. We open on a dream, a life
unfulfilled, one where true happiness could exist if
Robotnik never entered Sonic's life.
Sonic is sitting in the shade, sun shining, surrounded by chili
dogs. Surround doesn't do the
description justice. Sonic is sitting on a mountain

(05:39):
of chili dogs. In this dream world, Sonic has
put on a little pudge round, very egg shaped.
Uncle Chuck is off in the distance, bringing a wheelbarrow
full of chili dogs one could only assume to satiate Sonic's
hunger, because with no Robotnik, Sonic could rule
Mobius with an iron fist. Am I wrong?

(06:03):
I mean, maybe. Oh, you're you're drawing like
an Eggman. You're drawing like a robotic
parallel. OK, OK, OK.
I can only imagine that Uncle Chuck tries to keep Sonic in a
food coma for the sake of the world.
So is this like an Evangelion type since it's been a long time

(06:25):
since we've discussed him? Uncle Chuck is Sonic's uncle.
He looks just like Sonic but with bushy white eyebrows and a
white moustache. Sonic awakens from the dream,
saddened in his lack of chili dogs and world domination.
I don't that that last one's implied by the way.
Saddened in his lack of chili dogs and world domination.

(06:48):
Sally walks up and Sonic starts reminiscing of the world before
the days before Robotnik, when all Mobians were happy and free.
Sonic thinks back to Uncle Chuck's chili dog stand.
Then his mind wanders to darker memories.
He's reminded of the fact that Uncle Chuck has been
roboticized. He confides in Sally.

(07:11):
I swore I'd find a way to save Uncle Chuck from being just
another mindless slave, but I'vepunked out big time.
You'll get him back, Sonic someday.
I know Sal, but I still miss himand his killer chili dogs.
The thing is, he's probably helping Robotnik plan our
destruction as we speak. If Sonic only knew how right he

(07:35):
was. We cut to Robotnik's
headquarters. Robotnik and Snively are
standing in front of the transdimensional transporter,
the device that was used by Robotnik to make Sally trans.
No to by robotic to imprison Sally's father.
King Egg, Corn. A lot of trans rights at the
Mayday at the Mayday March. So that's awesome.

(08:00):
OK, The transdimensional transporter, the device that was
used by Robonic to imprison Sally's father, King Egg Corn.
This device looks like a giant television with a small computer
at the bottom. The device has been faulty, but
Robotnik has repaired it and needs a test subject.
Robotnik decides that the robot of Uncle Chuck is the perfect
specimen to use Snively. Snively quips back that the

(08:24):
Uncle Chuck unit is the most efficient bot they have.
Robotnik argues back and says that if he does not obey, he'll
roboticize Snively. Snively sheepishly swaggers over
to the transdimensional transporter to run some tests.
Very good use of alliteration. Very good use.
I'm proud of you, Nick. Well done, imbecile.

(08:47):
Why are you running a test of a test?
He rushes over to Snively and pushes them aside.
I'll do it myself. Robotnik activates the
transdimensional transporter, but something is wrong and
energy envelops Robotnik. Soon he is a transwoman.
No, soon he is sucked into the. I'll never not make that joke.

(09:07):
That joke is too good. Anytime they put transporter
transdimensional anything. Oh my God.
Soon he is sucked into the transporter.
Snively is now all alone. He calls out for Robotnik.
A voice booms over the monitor. I'm here, Snively, in the void.
It seems that there was a littleaccident, but that doesn't

(09:30):
matter since you can bring me back.
Do it now. Not so fast, Robotnik.
For years I've done your bidding.
While you've treated me like thetoxic waste on your toothbrush,
I've watched your feeble attempts to capture Sonic and
the Freedom Fighters, knowing that I Snively, could do better.

(09:52):
Well, now it's my turn. You can stay in that void
forever while I show you how to crush a rebellion.
Tata Sniffly walks off with Robotnik calling his name from
the void. However, the Bungle test has had
another unseen side effect. We see a roboticized Uncle Chuck

(10:15):
laying on the ground dazed, asking what happened and where
he is. End of Part 1.
First off, I want to congratulate you on that, Tata.
Oh yes, perfect delivery. Thank you.
No, I just find it really, really, really funny that Sonic

(10:35):
is having like one of the most emotional moments we've ever
seen from him to Sally, and he'slike, I've punked out big time.
It's, I mean, it just goes to show he's not just putting on
airs. That's really how he talks.
Yeah, he's kind of an idiot in away that I'm pretty into.
Who says that? Well, he's saying it in anger.

(10:59):
He's saying it in anger, right? In that specific panel, it's
it's anger. No, I think this is the most.
Frustration. Yeah.
I think how can I word this? I think he's putting on a show
and like, he doesn't know how toexpress himself.

(11:19):
And so he is still putting on this like, strong act as like,
yeah, I punked out big time. OK, that's a good
interpretation. But because it like, no, no one,
no one being really vulnerable would say something like that,
right. So it's him trying to put on
this like I'm cool macho guy while still trying to say

(11:43):
something sincere. And like he's he's crying out,
man, he's fucking crying out. He's like, I miss my Uncle
Chuck. I miss chili dogs.
And that is all we know about Uncle Chuck.
In fact, you could probably argue he just misses chili dogs.
But yeah, I think this is a him putting on like this cool guy

(12:08):
facade while still trying to be vulnerable.
In that next, in that next panel, he's very like
contemplative. Exactly.
Look, he's still. His brain is still.
He's at the age where his brain is still developing.
He's at most his early 20s. I don't know how old do
hedgehogs live to? OK.
So that we can't apply that at all for.
This I'm just saying. I don't he can be like an old

(12:29):
man, no, like no. So in the logic of the of the
world, he's. 16 he's he's 16 we.We agreed We talked about last
in the Tales miniseries just now, just previously, that Tales
is actually older than four. He's like.
He's 10. I, I, I we.
Can't go by the Fandom wiki. Apparently because the fandom
once said four. Yeah fandom, that's who.

(12:52):
Yeah fandom fucking sucks. I we've.
Talked. We've talked about this, yeah.
I didn't realize that was that site that we talked about.
Oh, OK. Until the Giant Bomb stuff
happened and then you were talking about it earlier today
and like, connected. Anyway, that's an off screen
conversation. Yeah, this is in terms of of

(13:13):
Sonic, He's I, I really, I really like that angle.
I was taking it at face value, but that's cool, Yeah.
That's what that's what you get with Riddle and Nick.
He's. Insightful.
He has emotions. Yeah, I I'm able to dissect
things. Real quick, can can we go over
why they made this transdimensional?
Whatever the fuck. So we don't know why.

(13:37):
Yeah. What we don't know.
I think this was just kind of thrown.
I wonder if this is actually a holdover from the TV show and if
they. Can't keep doing that.
That's fucking it's so annoying.Well luckily for you the TV show
only lasts for like 2 years. OK, so it's probably close to

(13:58):
finishing if it didn't already finish.
Still, they need to re explain it at least a throwaway bubble
about like talking about how youknow why they.
Why they? Well.
Why they built? Just why they built it?
I, I don't remember, go up, go up.
No, no, What I was going to say is, I don't think they explain
it, but. I.
Think there was just a throwawayline that was just like, and

(14:22):
yeah, King Acorn's in the void. I think this is like.
OK, OK, we can. Explaining the void.
We can apply, we can imply, which we shouldn't, but we can.
It's it's, it's like the PhantomZone from Superman.
Yeah, sure. So instead of a physical prison,
I actually. Almost made that analogy in the
script. I decided not to.

(14:43):
OK, OK, I, I, I remember PhantomZone because I called it the
Forbidden Zone and you called meout on it and we have it
recorded and it's a clip now, so.
Back when we used to make clips back.
When we used to make clips, we can do those again.
You can do those again. Yeah, that's why we haven't made
clips. OK before we continue how how we
like in Snively as a saying fuckyou man to the man.

(15:07):
I'm cool with it. I'm cool with it because they
have been hinting at it this whole time.
He's constantly in many issues prior.
He's been making side comments. That same gag of he makes a
comment robot and he goes what? And then he goes oh, nothing.
And then he just like he disguises what he just said as
something else. And now he he can just go mask
off and it's completely is tell him fuck he's he as a worker.

(15:28):
He is rising up no to do more evil.
No, yeah, Honestly, if anything,he this is like this is like a
situation where like what happened if Hitler had gotten
assassinated on the on the during the July 20th plot, I
think right, July 20th. And it's like who would have
taken over in in that case? It might probably.
Is that the one with Tom Cruise?That is Valkyrie, yes.

(15:50):
In that in that case, Tom Cruisewould have taken over.
I I actually forget, but there's.
OK do we have time for this tangent?
OK, there's another mod. Who cares man, we've this
episode's already kind of fun. We don't have emails, right?
We don't have emails. No, no, no, no, no.
There's a great mod for Hearts of Iron 4.

(16:13):
No, I'm no, fuck it, I'm not going.
To do it, you've already said it.
You need to say it. There's a great mod for Hearts
of Iron 4 called. You know, that's why you didn't
want to say it, because you don't remember it.
I know everything about it but the name.
Oh, the New Order. TNO, the New order and it's
alternate history where a classic alternate history where

(16:34):
Hitler wins and the. Classic.
Classic. So the world is split into 3
into a tripolar world with Nazi Germany, Empire of Japan and the
United States as the last bastion of the free world.
And but one of the events, earlyevents that happens in the game
is Hitler dies and there's a civil war or I think now they

(16:56):
keep changing because it's a mod.
They keep changing the lore. It's like a an internal struggle
over the over who takes over once Hitler dies because
literally they never planned forit and it's like.
That seems like something they should have planned for.
But that's what happens with fascism.
Is that what the fuck even happening now with Trump?
It's like yo who takes over onceTrump like well.
That's I, I, we don't have to get into that tangent, but also,

(17:18):
I mean, finishes his term. But I, I it's very funny to me,
the direction things have gone in the sense that I think people
will only follow Trump. And so when, like, if JD Vance
was ever in charge or anyone else, everyone's going to be
like, who the fuck is this? Like what's happening here?
Yeah. I forget where I was going.
Oh yes, just like there's no successor.

(17:40):
And so same thing with with Robotnik, it's like who's the
successor? Technically it's going to be
Snively because he's. Even though there's no official
succession, there definitely isn't an official succession
because Robotnik's going to liveforever based off of his, you
know, from. His point of view I think
personally we're. Speculating, but yeah.

(18:02):
The successor would be crap mate.
He dude. OK, so that's just like the mod.
Just like the hearts of iron. Crab meat is the successor for
Hitler. Crab meat or snitch?
Or coconuts. Or coconuts or scratch and
grounder, 'cause it was, it was a four way, you know, civil war
between the between the factions.

(18:23):
Who? Who would you support?
So in in Germany or in? Mobius and Mobius.
OK, so I thought it was like if I was a German, who would
support? Yeah.
But anyway, obviously the the solution is to shoot all of them
because they're Nazis, but I guess it would I feel like

(18:44):
Sniffily is too if I am a bot, right?
And I have free will to like decide who am I going to throw
my support behind in the Civil War I It's so tough because
they're all stupid, I guess. Yeah, it would have to be
Snively. I just he's the best option on.
You would choose Snively over fucking crab meat.

(19:09):
What does Crab mean of going forhim?
He's the coolest out of all of the guys.
Come on. He's like chill as fuck.
Half the panels he looks high. He the only reason crab meat is
has like a bad rap is because ofthe pressure that is put on to

(19:31):
him from society. If you put crab meat in charge
of society, things will get pretty fucking chill pretty
fucking fast. That's all I'm going to say.
He would be the Albert sphere ofthe of the group.
That my thoughts exactly. He is the he's the moderate
reformer, still a Nazi. But if he wins the civil war in

(19:53):
the hearts of Iron Mod, then he he becomes a more moderate
reformer who's slowly, extremelyslowly and still a fucking Nazi.
Lightens up the mood in Germany,let's say that.
Lightens. Up the mood and he tries to have
a detente between the other two powers.

(20:13):
So that's like best case scenario for Germany is him and
I guess yeah, 'cause crab meat is he lacks the maliciousness to
to and he winds up being a moderate or former.
OK, I can, I can see that. I can see that Snively has that
ambition, but that can that's still a lot of evil.
Yeah, I I out of all of the botswe've seen so far, crab meat

(20:35):
seems like the least. People you've you've convinced
me. You've convinced me.
Also, if someone tries to assassinate him, he'll just
print out another one. Well, also the real answer is
obviously Robotnik has his consciousness backed up and
he'll go into another robot. Like, come on, let's be real.
Here, obviously. So the meta reason why he'll
never die is because they need avillain, but the in universe

(20:55):
reason why he'll never die is because he's so much of an
egomaniac. Yeah, and he has the technology.
He can never die. Like he's got like redundancies
on redundancies. He should.
Normally I do a better job of trying to keep us on track.
I think it's just I haven't seenDominic in a while.
That's literally what it is, is I'm so excited to see you again.
It's. All.
The Return of Uncle Chuck Part 2We open on Robotropolis, where

(21:20):
Sonic sits at the ruins of what was once Uncle Chuck's chili dog
stand. He sits sulking.
Oh man, I just got to find a wayto get Uncle Chuck back.
I just got to. I just got him.
I got to think. I got to think full like Tom
Selleck mustache here. Hugh Jackman.

(21:43):
What the fuck? No, that's.
Australian. At this point I think everyone's
Australian. There was a there was a lot of
Australian Yeah recently. How about a chili dog for my
favorite nephew? I want to remind you that Uncle
Chuck will probably be in a lot of the upcoming issues.
Is that what you want to commit to?
OK. OK, I'll do it better.

(22:04):
No, you don't have to do it better.
I'm just saying. Is that something you want to
commit? Do you like?
It no, you didn't like it, it could be.
Better. Hey man, I'm not.
I'm not the artist. You could like it more.
I I can like a lot of things more.
OK, IA lot of my life is just saying that's enough, that's

(22:26):
good enough. Home border chili crab bone,
crab bone, crab bone. That's that's a Pecos Hank.
Every time, every time I talk toyourself, I talk about Pecos
Hank from not Pecos Hank. He's a tornado.

(22:46):
YouTube. I don't fucking know.
Here we go. I'll just.
I'll figure it out later. How about a chili dog for my
favorite nephew? Sure, Uncle Chuck.
Don't be afraid, Sonic. Sorry, I'm going to interrupt
right there. I was so close to putting in an

(23:09):
Angel joke from. Evangelion.
Or no, no, no, no. Because there's that whole thing
where it, when an Angel comes toman, it's like, be not afraid.
But I couldn't like fit it in well.
You could have just said right here, how about a children dog

(23:31):
for my favorite nephew? Be not afraid Sonic.
I know what I look like on the outside.
An Angel. Ignore my thousand eyes and
geometry you don't understand. Ignore my final boss from Earth
Defense Force, but inside I'm Uncle Chuck again, and I have

(23:55):
something very important to tellyou.
We cut to Knothole Village, where Uncle Chuck is grilling up
some chili dogs for the Freedom Fighters.
Sonic starts eating a chili dog while Uncle Chuck relays the
information he learned. I want to point out that Uncle
Chuck and Sonic have walked backfrom what Robotropolis and Uncle
Chuck has grilled up plenty of chili dogs.

(24:17):
Actually, you're right. I never acknowledged that before
they they straight up were in enemy territory and just he was
there just like chilling and sulking, having a depressive
episode. It's the fact that this, so this
goes into my critique and we're already here so I'll just
interrupt, is that it's kind of unceremonious how they bring him
back. It's fucking insane.
Like I so all right, yeah, I'll just go into it.

(24:39):
Is that Uncle Chuck, his whole purpose as a character is to be
an emotional is a personification of Sonic's
greatest failure and in a a goallike holistically as a
character, like emotionally, like here's here's I'm assuming
that's his, you know, blood uncle.
But either way, that's my family, literal family who has

(25:00):
become a a monster turned into this horrible thing by Robotnik
and abominate an aberration of nature, not even nature anymore.
And that is my fucking uncle. And he is a slave to to
Robotnik. And it's all just kind of waved

(25:22):
off here. Yeah, two things. 1 he is a
hedgehog uncle, not a blood uncle, OK?
He's he's made of hedgehog. Thank you.
Thank you, Nick. Not Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Hedgehogs don't have blood. Yeah, no, no, I don't bleed.
I I picture just like a ball of blood.

(25:43):
What the fuck? Fuck.
That actually distracted me. I don't remember what my actual
point was. I had a real thing I was going
to say. Fuck.
Now you're. Just thinking about this is what
happens when you do really dumb fucking jokes.
This is Nick on Ritalin, by the way.
Yeah, this is me. Like concentrating.

(26:03):
Good. My mind has never been sharper.
Fuck, man. OK, let's keep going.
Yeah. I want to point out that Uncle
Chuck and Sonic have walked backfrom Robotropolis and Uncle
Chuck has grilled up plenty of chili dogs.
There's this is no time to be eaten.

(26:23):
Sonic Robotnik is trapped in a void, another dimension of
reality. I forgot, another dimension of
reality, and Stiffly has taken its place.
His place that was really out offucking left field.
Uncle Chuck, what's he going to do?
Jab was with his needle nose. Don't underestimate him Sonic.
The transdimensional transporteris like a new toy to Stiffly,

(26:46):
and he's childish enough to use it.
Did I say something? No, just your.
I don't know if you had intendedthis, but yeah.
Oh, the out of left field. Yeah, it's out of left field.
Also, like the the sequence of events that just happened is

(27:06):
Sonic goes to goes to Robotropolis to sulk over his
uncle. His uncle casually comes up
saying like, yo, what's up? And then like, yo, hey, Uncle
Chuck. They go back to Knothole out of
Robotropolis and they just literally start a cookout in the
middle of the woods. And then Sonic's like, yo, check

(27:28):
it out. I I saw Uncle Chuck and
Robotropolis and Uncle Chuck's like, yeah, yeah, no, we should
head back to Robotropolis because, like, shit's about to
go down. So they lived.
No, it's it's even more fucked up, OK, because he starts doing
the cookout. He waits until Sonic starts
eating and then says now is not the fucking time to start

(27:51):
eating. We need to go back to
Robotropolis. He like he literally waits until
he starts eating and he's just like, the fuck are you doing
Sonic? Uncle Chuck might be abusive.
All I'm saying is that was a redfucking flag for me.
No, I don't think he's abusive. I just think or he's senile.
Yeah, they're just fucking dumb.Like Sonic is too ADD riddled

(28:13):
and and Uncle Chuck is just yeah, a senile old half, you
know, fully robot hedgehog. In in Uncle Chuck's defense, I
assume he hasn't had full consciousness for like more than
a few hours or so. Like maybe he's like still
trying to figure out how his robot brain works.
But man, I was just, I was literally like, what the fuck,

(28:35):
dude. Like you, you, you made him the
chili dog. And then you were like, why the
fuck are you eating? Like just imagine everyone's
chowing down and Uncle Chuck just grilled just like hand in
pocket. He doesn't have his hand in
pocket. Well, I'm just imagining just
casually handed pocket just grilling up chili dogs like, Oh
yeah, the the world's about. The end.
Guys, this is shit's fucked. I completely forgot.

(28:57):
It's going to be like, guys, we actually really need to go.
There's going to be mass genocide in like 20 minutes if
we don't fucking do this. And it's soon.
It's like it's it's about to happen.
What's he going to do? What's Snively going to do?
Jabba's with his needle nose. Don't.
Don't underestimate him, Sonic. The transdimensional transporter

(29:18):
is like a new toy to Snively andhe's childish enough to use it.
Sally pulls out Nicole, a supercomputer that she has sent
to herself from the future that I'm realizing in real time that
the computer probably knows the history of the world and I'm
confused as to why they don't use the computer to tell them
the future. Did you realize that mid
sentence typing this out? That's funny.

(29:38):
With all factors considered, themost likely result would be the
complete and total destruction of the planet.
Everyone gasps, buns immediatelythrows in the towel and says.
Sounds like a no win situation, sugar.
There's still a chance. Snively doesn't know.
Snively doesn't know. I'm not like his other units.

(30:01):
That makes him the the. I'm going into like fucking
rotor territory here with this voice.
What is his voice? There's still there's still a
chance. I always didn't.
We give him kind of like whatever we assumed, like the
Monopoly man sounds like. Didn't we give him like railroad

(30:22):
Tycoon vibes? Maybe, I don't remember.
We This is why we need like repertoire.
And our voices. I only played Roller Coaster
Tycoon. Railroad was good.
Oh, really? Was it?
Yeah, OK. I only ever saw the the the like
the one by one box. I I had it on the Dreamcast.
Oh nice shit. OK, there's still a chance.
Still really doesn't know I'm like his other.

(30:46):
This is a really weird fucking choice.
I mean, come into it for this episode, but like, we need to
sit down and figure out what. We'll do it at Haymarket
tonight. There's still a chance Snively
doesn't know. I'm not like his other units.
That makes me the perfect spy. We cut back to Robotropolis,
where we see Snively wearing Robotnik's uniform.
Robotnik starts yelling from thevoid slash monitor.

(31:08):
How dare you wear the same uniform as me?
Red's not even your color. Quiet you transdimensional twerp
and take a look. Instead of trying to capture the
freedom fighters and imprison them in the void, I'm going to
attach a smaller transdimensional transporter to
a bot plane. It will swallow up great

(31:30):
sections of Mobius and the Freedom fighters too.
T hee ho ho, have you lost your microscopic mind, Snively?
That device is too powerful to turn loose on the planet.
It could destroy everything you've become two chicken ro ro

(31:51):
cucknik, no? Cluck, cluck, there's an O.
I've been on the Internet for too too long.
Cock I I just want to say cock is so common of an insult now.
It's insane how common that is. My dad called me a cock once.
Oh yeah? How old were you?
27 fucking cock, Yeah. You think?

(32:26):
No matter what number you are going to give.
I was going to call you back. This is an on each episode.
Where's this episode of so fun? It's technically.
After dark, but I'm not wrong, so there's no reason for this.
We just haven't seen each other in forever.
Happy new era, happy new Bobby Schroeder era.

(32:47):
Here we go. I'm not afraid to take big
risks, that's why I'll succeed. Just then, Uncle Chuck walks
into the room. Snively gives Uncle Chuck some
blueprints and demands him and some robots build everything to
his design. We later see Sonic running up to
Uncle Chuck. Uncle Chuck instructs Sonic that

(33:10):
he needs to stop the bot plane from digging off while Uncle
Chuck leaves to tend to another matter.
Sonic starts running around the hangar when suddenly he is
sucked up into the void. End of Part 2.
Feeling I should explain the cuck thing.
It was. It was.

(33:30):
I know what cooking is. Oh, that I don't have to explain
it. No, this is for the audience.
I was doing a set up here. My what was the insult that
Republicans used to use all the time?
That's. A lot of fucking.
It was like liberal cuck, right?Or was it?
That is a common 1, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My dad called me a liberal cuck like.
Straight face to your face. Yeah, The funny thing is my dad
is like, so my dad's old, like 80s.

(33:54):
My dad was born in 49. Holy shit.
Which is an 80s? He's like 70s.
Yeah, yeah. Late 70s or?
Something so I, I, he's not reading liberal cuck in the
newspaper. So I had to be like a like a
fucking adult trying to figure out where like a child found out

(34:16):
a bad word because he said it. And then I just like laughed at
his face and then I was like immediately like where did you
hear that word? Which probably made my dad feel
like a dumb ass cuz I was literally laughing at him.
But I was also like a a parent being like, I need you to tell
me who told you those words it. Had to have been from Facebook.

(34:38):
No, my dad was like looking at alt right YouTube videos.
I, I, I've walked in on him. I, I don't talk to my dad
anymore, but I've, I've like walked in on him watching like
whitest cities in America to live in and shit like that.
And I'm just like, OK, buddy, let's, let's talk about Sonic.

(35:02):
What? What do we think about Snively
wearing his mini Robotnik uniform?
It's pretty funny. It's.
AI think it's a good. Game.
It's a funny the fact that he becomes rotund because of it.
Yeah. So it's like it implies that
there's this outer frame on the on the costume.
But makes it like a mother from Futurama.
Where do you think Eggman is Like actually super?

(35:25):
I'm sorry. Robotnik is like super skinny
and he's like. That panel go up, go up that
that diagonal panel where Sniffly's yelling at the
monitors. Really funny.
Yeah. It's, it's like, like Loki kind
of cute, like. Well, and I like how like it,
the costume technically fits in but it's still too big somehow
and I think it has to do with the the Cape being on the ground

(35:46):
and what not. Proportions are all off.
It's funny. Yeah, I don't, I, I was serious.
I I don't know why they don't use Nicole to tell him the
future, because like it, it's got to have like a whole
history, like it's a computer from the future.
It knows things. Yeah, it was never wiped, right?

(36:07):
I assume not. Is Nicole is just a giant
Mcguffin used to conveniently explain things when they needed
to? Yeah.
So I I don't like Nicole really all.
About, oh, I actually kind of despised Nicole, Yeah.
Do you think maybe we could justdo like a Sean Connery voice for
Uncle Chuck? Can you do that?
Do you have that in your like repertoire voices?

(36:32):
Oh yeah, he does, at least once.OK, let's find out.
Oh, you're going to do it on thefly.
I like that the. Return of Uncle Chuck part Oh,
did we have anything else to discuss?
No, it's a middle. It's the middle of the.
There's not much to say. There's AII.
Don't think I said it in the thing Sonic calls Uncle Chunk
unk, which is really funny to me.

(36:54):
That's. That's that's it's not.
I've not heard it too much, but UNK is a fairly, not fairly.
I mean, among Cavemen, yeah, I don't.
Think I've heard it before. Cavemen, are you friends with?
One looking at you. Oh, you got me good.
By the way, I took AI, took a shower.
Tangentially related, I took a shower before shooting this

(37:16):
episode at Nick's, at Nick's apartment.
And I was like, I was using yoursoap.
I'll Venmo you. I I used.
I used. Yeah, give me $0.30 please.
I used the body soap and then I was like, where the fuck is the
hair soap? Oh.
There's beard soap. I did.
Did you use the beard for your hair?
No, I was afraid what that was going to do to my to my hair.

(37:38):
Oh, it would have made it very sexy.
OK. Yeah.
It's I I assume a beard shampoo is very similar to hair shampoo.
It's probably just the comicals they use is better for the face.
Sure, that's just what I assumed.
So I assumed it would be fine for your head.
All right, here we go. Let's just move the return of
Uncle Chuck Part 3. We open on Snively flying around

(38:00):
the bot plane with Sonic trappedon the front of the plane.
I I I didn't describe that well.So trapped on the front of the
plane on what appears to be a monitor like Robotnik is so.
Yeah, that that that sentence was bad.
You can the the people can see it if they're on YouTube, if
you're on, if you're listening to this only it is literally a

(38:22):
monitor. So transdimensional device in
front of a jet and then snively did like a flyby and sucked up
Sonic into that jet and now Sonic is just on the monitor
trapped in the monitor. Phantom Zone was the right
thing. Like if, if if you know the
Phantom Zone thing from Superman, from Superman, it's

(38:43):
like a 2D image and they're liketrapped in it and you can see
them and they can see out. Well, I don't know if they
actually can see out, but it implies it on the in Superman
the movie. And he like, for some reason,
like bolted that to the front ofhis plane.
It's a smaller device that we can suck them up immediately.

(39:05):
Avoid the middleman. While while since we've already
derailed this whole fucking episode, what do we think about
what I would consider maybe light Nazi imagery on the plane
with the lightning bolts? Is that is that you're the Nazi
expert? Yeah, No, I'm not.

(39:26):
Thank you. Yeah, I I became obsessed with
World War 2 as a as AI think every kid kind of.
Every autistic kid has one has. One war or one?
It's either you're gonna be intobridges, trains or World War 2.
It's absolutely true. And it's like, and sometimes
it's a little weird that you're into World War Two.
You're one of the cool ones. Yes, it's a it's something I

(39:48):
figured out and was like, I can't talk about this with
anyone, can I online 'cause theywind up being wearaboos.
Yeah, or they're they're in the Warhammer in World War 2, in
which case they're Nazis. They're fighting the the
community's fighting back 10 years ago, absolutely.
I'm saying the World War Two guys that are in the Warhammer

(40:10):
are specifically Nazis. I'm probably I'm telling the
truth. Look the the lightning bolt is
not like an S S rune. So the the Nazis used a lot of
Norse runes which is like the the alpha the alphabet Norse
alphabet. Do they use the Bluetooth symbol
anywhere? No, I think the Bluetooth symbol

(40:31):
was created for Bluetooth. No, I thought that was a.
Was it a Norse symbol? Yeah, that's why I made the
joke, but I might be wrong. Nordic.
I'm kind of a dumb ass. That's OK.
It's yeah, I like it. Just flash true or not or false
if I'm right. Hey Dominic in post here.

(40:52):
So apparently Bluetooth was named after King Harold
Bluetooth quote UN quote. That's their nickname.
Gormson Harold Bluetooth Gormsonwho was a king of Denmark and
Norway around the late 9 hundreds and I I This is all

(41:14):
cursory Wikipedia parsing so take it with a grain of salt,
but apparently he united the kingdoms in the in the north,
you know, between Denmark, Norway and maybe even a little
bit of Sweden. Although it seems most of like
Norway and around around like VA.
But regardless, the Bluetooth aswe know it today as wireless

(41:37):
technology. According to Wikipedia, the
Bluetooth wireless specificationdesign was named after the king
in 1997, based on an analogy that the technology would unite
devices the way herald Bluetoothunited the tribes of Denmark
into a single Kingdom. And the Bluetooth logo consists
of a younger 5th mark bind rune for his initials H&B.

(42:01):
So the Bluetooth logo is runes, but it is like an annalgamation
of two runes, which may be a modern combining of things, I
don't really know. But that's for you to explore
further if you want to. But that was just to put a cap
on our conversation. Cool.
OK, here we go. We cut back to yes.

(42:24):
I don't, I don't know what I said.
Jesus Christ for like an hour inand this is.
The last part when the last partOK.
Go there's another issue. We'll cut it down.
I've. I've done in the one day what
Robotnik failed to do in his entire career.
Take you out of Commission permanently.
This monitor allows me to communicate with you while

(42:46):
you're trapped in the void. I assume you're impressed with
me now, Hedgehog. Yeah, I'm impressed.
Sniff nose. You're even more of a sicko than
Robotnik. So I'm sick, am I?
Perhaps you'd like a demonstration of my power.
Observe the forest below. Snively points his plane

(43:08):
downward and shoots a beam out, turning a once great forest into
a barren wasteland. You demented dork.
You're going to wipe out the entire planet.
Perhaps, but I expect your fellow rebels to surrender
before that becomes necessary. The freedom fighters will never
surrender. Sniveler was that a Hitler?

(43:29):
I I just realized, was that a Hitler reference?
No, I think so. I think you're just putting some
attitude on it. Yeah, no, I thought it was more
of a like Twizzler. I I don't see how they can avoid
it. Got em.
Yeah. Oh, hey, that was that was the
laugh. I was supposed to laugh but I

(43:50):
just genuinely. You actually did kind of do the
yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha. We're keeping it.
Just then, a laser flies past the cockpit.
A bot plane is fired upon Snively.
A bot plane is firing on me. But that's impossible unless
it's a trick of those wretched freedom fighters.
We cut to Uncle Chuck. I can't stop Shively from using

(44:13):
the transporter. Oh my God, yes.
I'm not laughing too much, I'm laughing too much.
You can't stop Schniveli from using the transporter, but I can
minimize the damage he can do. No, no, no.
I've got a little more on it, a little more on it.
He doesn't talk for a while. I got to nail this.

(44:35):
I can't stop Schniveli from using a transporter, but I can
minimize the damage he can do. How was that?
It trailed off at the end. You know, what I'm going to say
is I like you. You did better in terms of a
Sean Connery impression. But I like I like your half

(44:56):
Connery as like the actual voice, if that makes sense.
How so? Your attempt to be Sean Connery
was its own voice and I liked itas.
Opposed to direct? Yeah, exactly. 100% yeah.
OK, we'll see if I can do it next time.
A Shadow is in the cockpit with Uncle Chuck.

(45:16):
He speaks and says that if you can knock out his back
thrusters, if you can give him some back shots, if you can
knock out his. Back of the thrusters.
It'll force Snively to land. Uncle Chuck shoots more lasers
and simply aiming for the back thrusters.
He aiming for the back thrusters.
He misses all of his shots. He misses all of his back shots.

(45:39):
We cut the Sonic in the void, watching all of this unfold
helplessly. I got to slow the Sniveler down,
if only for a second. But how?
My speed won't help me in this void, but I can still think
fast, but I'm too tense to think.
Gotta chill. Sonic starts thinking intensely.

(46:02):
Chill my chili dogs. Suddenly a backpack appears on
Sonic full of chili dogs. He eats two dogs.
It says 2 dogs. That's that's direct.
He eats. Two dogs at once chomp.
The sound of Sonic eating startled Snively, slowing him

(46:23):
down. The sound of Sonic snacking
startled Snively, slowing him substantially.
That was good, thank you. That was a fantastic rewrite on
the fly. This.
Gives Uncle Chuck the opportunity to shoot the back
thrusters. He hits leave.
Knocked out my thrusters so I can't go forward.

(46:45):
I can only hover, face it, sniff, nose.
It's all over for you, fool. I said I'm not afraid to take
big risks and now I'll prove it.I'm going to blow up this plane
and the transdimensional transporter when I do.
Everything within 100 mile radius, including the freedom

(47:08):
fighters, will be sent into the void.
For a bulb head, you're pretty dim.
You'll be sent into the void too.
Guess again, miserable hedgehog.This device I'll be wearing will
ensure me a return trip while you spend eternity with Doctor
Robotnik. Ha ha ha.

(47:29):
Just then robotic crashes through the ceiling.
But, but, but how did you escapethe void?
The Uncle Chuck unit regained his free will and set me free.
He knew it was the only way to save his beloved Mobius.
I was in the bot plane and saw what you were about to do, so I

(47:50):
decided to drop in. But if in exchange for my
freedom, I had to promise not toharm the freedom fighters or
you, Snively. And this time, I'm going to keep
my word so that we can spend many, many, many happy years

(48:11):
together while I make your life miserable.
I do have one little request foryou, Snively.
Something I'd like you to do right now, if you don't mind.
Take off that uniform. How dare you dress like me.
Take it off. Bend over.

(48:31):
We cut to not whole Village. We cut to not whole village.
A few days later, Uncle Chuck isgrilling chili dogs for everyone
in Not Whole Village. Welcome home, Unk.
Don't worry, we'll change you back to your old self soon.
Only want to change one thing, Sonic this apron.
You've had enough chili dogs today.

(48:54):
Everyone laughs in unison. The end.
It's another like. Everybody, yeah, everyone
laughs. Freeze frame.
Yeah, yeah. That was like, that's like issue
29 also, right? It's a lot of them.
It's a lot, yeah. They've been doing a lot of
freeze frames. Any any art with Winnie pencil
thing he he usually winds up there.
Well, two things. One, what do we think about, and

(49:17):
I'm not going to say two things,what do we think about this
issue? The whole point of this was to
just for story. Yeah, the whole point of this
story, thank you, was to bring Uncle Chuck back and reintroduce
him into the cast. So they're kind of they've kind
of reached a compromise, Meta speaking, we've reached a
compromise for the character where the character is now part

(49:37):
of the crew back in not hole with the freedom Fighters.
However, he is roboticized and now they need to effectively
cure him. Cure his ailment do.
You think he's going to be like a permanent resident or do you
think he's just going to be in like in the next 5 issues and
then he's? Garner, well, considering he's

(49:57):
more of like a support role for the gang, he's like a morale
guy. He's he's there for Sonic.
He's there specifically for Sonic as a character.
Like that's just funky. Do you think he's like in it as
much as Antoine is? No, not no, I don't think so.
I don't think so. So.
So that's like core, they're able to do operations together.
They're able to, but. But like, Antoine's barely
fucking in this thing. That's like in this story or

(50:20):
just in general? Just in general.
Just in general, yes, but. He comes in for like a throwaway
gag like in this issue I didn't put.
Him, yes, correct. Yes, I didn't put it in the
issue, but the only time Antoineshowed up was when Nicole was
talking about the destruction ofthe planet.
Antoine's like, I'm allergic to the destruction of the planet.

(50:41):
And he starts trying to run away.
Yeah. And that's that's a throwaway
gag. And I'm like, OK, is that Uncle
Chuck? Does he just come in for like a
single panel every issue and is like hey, hey chili dogs?
Maybe. I mean it's he.
Look, he is literally Sonic's like father figure, right?

(51:03):
So he is going literally figure anyway.
He is there to provide moral support for Sonic.
So yes, I I think he's not goingto he should not.
I don't think he should show up as often, honestly.
He he comes in when Sonic is at an emotional low point and then
you know, like in the background, you know, cooking
for the group. He's he's the group cook

(51:25):
effectively. I.
Mean I mean not whole village needed a shot.
Yeah, but in terms of character function, he's there for Sonic
at his low points. I think that's what it's going
to be. He's going to be there for Sonic
at his low points emotionally, maybe advice, fatherly advice,
talking about like love and and enemies and all that stuff.
Trust all that. Any emotional thing, it's going

(51:46):
to fall because as we've proven here, as we've seen, Sonic is,
is a young, very young adult. And if, if, if an adult Even so
that I think that's what his function is going to be.
Do you remember how? What was it last got to talk
fast or two got to talk fast to go?
I was like, do you think they kill someone?

(52:10):
Oh, do you think they're going to kill Uncle Chuck?
He'd be perfect. Yeah, he's literally perfect.
Because think about it, he. I mean, they already do the
whole fucking thing without them.
So what you do, this is what I would do if I was the writers,
is we were actually given this golden opportunity, which was to
have Uncle Chuck as like a character like he's like
established what he he people know him, right?

(52:36):
But he's not really in the comics.
So everyone's kind of used to how the comics operate without
him. I would have Uncle Chuck be in
the next, like, 1015 issues. Kill him.
OK. OK.
Yeah, that that way there, that's enough to get people to
like enjoy him, like actually really like appreciate who he

(52:59):
is. And then you can kind of
understand both Sonic's pain andthe freedom fighter's pain.
If and when he dies, I hope you hope he dies.
I, I think that if the if we're going to go that route, I like
that route. I like it emotionally, I hope I
I think it'd be cool if he died while trying to fix him.

(53:20):
That's dark. Yeah, and maybe he doesn't die.
He. And then Rotor becomes an
alcoholic because Rotor is goingto be the one that's going to be
doing the and he's just like, how do I deal with the?
You want? Yeah, you want the dark.
Side I want tragedy. You want?
Yeah. I want some silver age.
Goodness, and that's when Tales becomes the the mechanic because
Rotor is an alcoholic and he he can't he's technically like more

(53:44):
gifted than Tales. He he is a true genius, but
because of his alcoholism and like he, you can barely get him
out of bed that. Was a troubled genius.
Yeah, exactly. And he's he's doing a lot of
hard drugs like the walk in and rotors got like a rubber band
around his fin. He's yeah, spoons everywhere

(54:06):
starts. Listening this jazz.
Yeah, yeah. He's going into like the dark
stuff he's he's doing. So he's listening to Charlie
Parker. Yeah.
Well, I was going to say, what'sthe witch's brew?
Bitch's Brew. Bitch's Brew.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's when you know you're in deep.
Yeah, I'm right. Nonsense.

(54:27):
Yeah, right. OK.
Which is. A pun on witch's brew.
Yeah, so. Yeah.
So yeah, overall it was whatever.
I think it was messy with all this cockamie.
It's kind of insane. Yeah.
It's like absolutely insane to introduce the, like, kind of

(54:47):
main drive. I mean, we already called it out
earlier in the issue. I this is to get people to
listen to the episode instead ofjust jumping to our analysis.
We did a lot of analysis in the episode this time, so good luck.
We won't do that again. But yeah, it's absolutely insane

(55:09):
that like this huge character isjust like, hey, I'm back, let's
go get some chili talks. Yeah, it's, it's, I mean.
Build the memories you're going to remember when he died.
Yeah, right. I mean, I, I feel like it has to
be addressed. Why does he get consciousness?

(55:32):
So. I, I I have a theory.
I already have a theory, but I want you to go well.
Are you talking about like meta like the no for the character
like in universe? In universe.
It's a good question. I don't know.
It's like a knock off effect to this transdimensional
transportation. King Acorn.
It's the transdimensional rift thing that entrapped King or

(55:55):
Acorn. He couldn't get out or anything,
but he could like, I don't know why he could do something to
make it so Uncle Chuck is normal.
Don't I don't I don't some bull fucking shit Sonic universe he
has the power of. Love, I don't know.
Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, the the love emerald.
Yeah, he used all the love of the Chaos emeralds to give Uncle

(56:20):
Chuck consciousness. Interesting.
OK. I mean, I'm just saying the
thing happened with the transdimensional thing and then
literally the next thing was Uncle Chuck getting
consciousness. By regular standards, it's a
stretch, but by Sonic standards it sounds scarily accurate as to
what might happen. It sounds like it'd be sounds

(56:42):
like exactly what happened. OK, we'll find out.
I. I'm very.
We've not read ahead. He's he's.
Just I would. He's putting his money on it.
I would never or I I would. I would specifically say I'm
biting my tongue. So not to spoil things, OK, but
so every theorizing is me just guessing, yeah?

(57:04):
Let's finish out this issue because we got one more story
here. We sure fucking do.
Who keeps stealing my Chaos Emeralds?
Script by Paul Castiglia, Penciled by Pat Spaziante.
We got spaz back all right. I'm just going to stay up front.
I I. Incredible.
Yeah, this is an incredibly drawn issue.

(57:25):
So Spaz is either like fucking spitting game or like really
miss, but this one I think is drawn so fucking well.
It's got way more structure thanthe first time we saw him with
the Amy issue. I love.
Except I think Buns and Sally look a little weird.
We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there.

(57:46):
Yeah, but ignoring that, I I think everything looks fucking
top tier. Yeah, me too.
It feels modern. Honestly, it feels way more
modern than the this 90s cartoonstuff we've been getting before,
which I have a which has a charm, but I think it dates it.
This feels timeless. Frankly, yeah.
So spaz, spaz, spaz. Real real hit or miss for me

(58:09):
because I really hated the that one that he did, but this one is
fucking great. Who keeps stealing my Chaos
Emeralds? My computer surveillance system
has recorded the culprit on tape, but his identity is
obscured by the shadows. It looks like an anteater.
Bah, Coconuts, go to my secret island base and protect my

(58:30):
remaining emeralds. And don't dare make a monkey out
of me, you primitive primate. Coconuts goes to the island and
sees from the distance that the thief is heading for the Chaos
Emerald Cave. He reassures Robotnik that he'll
capture the thief. Coconuts has laid traps down
that his coyote friend lent him.We see the shadowy figure

(58:54):
standing on an X between two boulders with ropes tied to
them. Coconuts has rigged the boulders
to smash on the thief. Once some candles have burned
through the ropes, the thief stands on the X for a little
bit, inspecting it, then keeps heading deeper into The Cave.
Coconuts is beside himself. He stands on the X trying to
figure out why the trap didn't trigger.

(59:16):
Just then, the candles finished burning through the ropes
smashing Coconuts. We cut the further into The Cave
we're at what Coconuts calls theBreakaway bridge.
Just a little extra weight and it's going to collapse, causing
the thief to fall to certain doom.
The thief crosses with no issue.Coconuts goes to the bridge to

(59:37):
inspect it and instantly the bridge falls apart, making
Coconuts fall to the bottom of acavern.
We cut to even deeper in The Cave where Coconuts has left an
emerald on top of a spring. All the thief has to do is pick
up the emerald and the spring will fling them into the
ceiling. The thief picks up the emerald
and wanders off. Coconuts walks to the spring and

(59:59):
is launched into the ceiling. We cut back to Robotropolis.
Robotnik angry at Coconuts. You nincompoop.
Not only did you fail to catch the thief, you never even caught
a glimpse of him. You've thrown a monkey wrench
into the whole works. Not even that wrench can help
you. Now we cut the knothole where we

(01:00:21):
see Sonic, Tails of Sally and Buns getting ready for a charity
dance. Buns has two chaos emeralds, 1
as a ring and one as a necklace.So Sal, you think these emeralds
will be a hit at the dance tonight?
They'd better be after all the chaos you went through to get
them. I would like to take this moment

(01:00:42):
to reiterate that we have already learned in Tales Mini
Adventure issue #3 that the emeralds have ultimate power.
Civilizations have worshipped these stones, and the stones
have destroyed civilizations. Buns is wearing two of them.
Pretty ball or move from buns. Yeah, but I think canonically
that makes Buns the coolest fucking character.

(01:01:05):
This is a one shot. It is A1.
Shot one, shot energy. One shot energy.
Yeah, yeah. I fucking hate the contraption
for the first one with the boulder, it makes no fucking
sense. It's two boulders on ropes and
he decided to put candles and when the candles burn through
the ropes it crashes, but there's nothing to trigger it so

(01:01:27):
I don't know why. Coconut.
I mean, coconut is clearly I wasright not to back him in the
fucking Yeah, let's go back to that.
The rising of which Mobian? The successor.
The successor. Thank you.
Because he's clearly a dumb ass.Because there's no way this
would ever work. Then there's nothing.
There's nothing. I'm sorry.
It like it actually pissed me off.

(01:01:48):
I like got up and I'm like, I'm done writing right now.
I gotta I gotta breathe. I gotta I gotta go get some
water. I I could do the faintness of a
defence and say that he timed itperfectly so that when.
That makes no fucking. Sense.
Yeah, it doesn't it really. Doesn't and it's such an easy
fix. You just have it so it's like a
trigger panel and that which you.
Already did. Yeah, technically you'd be doing

(01:02:09):
it again. Maybe that's why they didn't do
it. But like, you don't.
Have to do it once if you fucking did it.
Well, I mean, yeah, there's nothing much to really say about
this. This is, this is a gag comic and
it's, it's not even it's not. I don't think it's canonical
because like it's insane that they got the chaos emeralds.
This this implies that Robotnik has multiple chaos emeralds just

(01:02:33):
hanging out on a random island, not like in a secure bank vault
in Robotropolis surrounded by like Indiana Jones style traps.
Which is actually it's kind of cool.
It's. Cool, but it doesn't make sense.
It also. Breaks lore because it's.
Like it makes no fucking sense. The garbage garbage comic.

(01:02:53):
Have we had a story? Yeah.
I do really like the fact that he looked at the shadow of buns
and it's a very clearly buns andjust like, I don't fucking know.
It's an anteater. Like he knows what like 8 people
who are like. It's also like the easiest
silhouette because it's a half roboticized animal.
Yeah, like you could tell from like the Mega Man legs that it's

(01:03:14):
fucking buns. Like even if the whole Bunny ear
thing was kind of, I mean, granted they purposely do it in
a way where it's like maybe it'sa bird, no.
It's a, It's fucking. Bunny ears, come on.
How do we feel about the last panel with how he drew Spaz drew
them? He's a furry, right?

(01:03:35):
I think everyone's a Anyone who works on this comic is
automatically. OK, yeah, because I I got the
vibe he wanted to fuck buns. I think who, who doesn't, I
mean, yeah. Well, OK, if we're being real,
yeah, the proportions are weird.The laugh of a man.
It was definitely a fur. Oh yeah, the proportions are

(01:03:57):
weird. I don't like it.
They're too tall. I think that's what it is.
Well, it's off putting because in the previous issue it's it's
regular proportion, it's proportions that we're used to.
This is more realistic and she'sposing like very like Angular.
Yeah, I I respect taking a swing.

(01:04:18):
I just think he missed, you know, a swing in a miss.
I'm I'm neutral on it, it's fine.
This is this is a gag comic. It's literally Roadrunner.
Yeah. That's the they specifically
mentioned the coyote, it's Wile E Coyote.
The kids will never know what Wile E Coyote is because they
cancelled and scrapped that movie.

(01:04:39):
Yep. Even though it was already done.
That's hey man, when you make more money scrapping a movie
than releasing it, that's a signof a good society. 100%.
You, you know. What?
Else is a good good sign us us ending this episode and that's

(01:05:05):

(01:05:27):

Yeah. No, no, I normally do.
I'm my mind was on something else, which is what I'm about to
say. I don't remember what director
said it, but it was just like, all right, Imagine you're

(01:06:09):
filming a horizon shooting just the horizon, dead center, boring
shooting a horizon where it's inthe top third, interesting.
Shooting, Horizon where it's in the bottom third, interesting
shooting just dead straight on. Unbelievably boring.
