Got to talk fast. Got to talk fast.
Got to talk faster, faster, faster.
Got to talk fast. Welcome to an oral review of
Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehogreminding you to set battery
charging limits on your phone. Newer phones, such as iPhones,
allow you to set a percentage limit to battery chargers.

(00:20):
If you're not doing much on a certain day, you can set it to
80% charge. If you're going to be out and
about all day, you can set it to95% charge.
Not charging your phone to 100% or letting it train to 0 can
drastically expand the lifetime of your phone.
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. All right there, anything you

(00:44):
want to talk about, Anything, anything, anything you need to
go off your chest. Yeah, I actually do, but I'm not
recording it. We specifically don't talk when
we get in so that we can like belike, yeah, what do you get?
What's new with you? Let's let's talk about life man
on camera so it can be there foreveryone to see forever.

(01:07):
Favorite ice cream? Of all time.
Of all time. I mean you, you want something
that goes with everything, right?
If if I know this sucks, but I mean technically it should be
vanilla. That's that's exactly my answer
too, cause I've heard crazy answers like double fudge,
chocolate chip, whatever. And it's like, but like, well,

(01:27):
OK, it depends on the question 'cause I did ask favorite of all
time. Yeah, I guess the proper.
The The best ice cream of all time is vanilla.
Is vanilla, yes. I guess.
OK. And then if it were just doing
favorites? Like like single case like you,
you can have other ice creams ofcourse, but like what was like
the best experience of an ice cream?

(01:49):
I mean, not too much, not too. It sucks as an answer no, it's
simple, I know, but probably just like a chocolate chip
cookie dough because I really like the texture of the cookie
dough and eat ice cream and you throw some chocolate chips in
that bad boy and bam, you got yourself a Stew.
So. Well, for the record, that's

(02:10):
everything you were about to saywas the incorrect answer.
The correct answer was the Sonicthe Hedgehog shaped head shaped.
The one that always looks like it's like dying and it's begging
to be eaten. The barely blue like like a kid.
Took a watercolor marker and like scribbled all over it to
make it blue. I need to see where I can.

(02:31):
Do they still make those? Oh ABS, I saw one on the street
like a ice cream truck. I should, I should buy some, put
them in the freezer and we'll record it.
We'll record us eating it for content.
The only thing, dude. Mukbang.
Who do we need to get in the mukbangs?
What are mukbangs? Are you serious?
Have we had this conversation? Probably every time I bring up

(02:52):
the word mukbang. Because your mind.
Same thing your. Mind immediately goes to
gangbang, which is the correct way to go.
Yeah, but in the mud. But yeah, it's like mud
wrestling. A mukbang is is when it's just
like filming yourself eating andthere's nothing inherently
sexual about it, but it is sexualized.
OK. And if you brought this up in

(03:13):
context to a video idea that I had that I'm not going to say on
camera just yet, but it would beinherently sexual every single
time we did an episode. OK.
OK. Do you know what I'm talking
about? No, and you're going to have to
tell me later. I'll say it now, just beep it.
It's the. Oh, yeah, actually, yes,

(03:37):
actually, yeah. Notice I put my hand over my
mouth so they couldn't lip read that one.
Or, I'll just, you know, put a gloss Gaussian blur over it.
Sure. Sure.
I still want to do that, but that's just, you know, a little
bit further down the line. Talk about knuckles.

(03:59):
OK, yeah, sure. We are reading the second of a
three-part miniseries. This is Knuckles and the and the
Anchinas, reluctant traveling companion Archimedes as they
confront A menace from the floating islands past the
renegade scientist called Enerjac.
Hell of a title. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the
title. I'm pretty sure it's Rites of

(04:20):
Passage Part 2, but either way. I know I, I feel like you were
kind of right on that. OK, OK, right on the money all.
Right here we go. It was.
This was released in June of 1996.
Script by Ken Penders and Mike Konternovich and pencil by Art
Mahoney. Knuckles's ancestral heritage
was one of duty and honor, or sohe'd been led to believe.

(04:43):
But today, a threat to the floated island and all existence
has unveiled the dark side of Enchidna civilization.
His role as guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, long thought the
noblest of callings, is in truthatonement for the treachery of
an ancestor who dared place himself above the great good.
That ancestor, the renegading kidna scientist named Dimitri,

(05:06):
has survived 1000 years of imprisonment beneath Mount Fate
and returned to work his evil will as Enerjack, harbinger of
Chaos. The straits are dire, but
Knuckles is not alone. At his side stands Archimedes,
the Fire Ant ambassador of a race which shares a secret

(05:28):
symbiotic relationship with the Anchidnas, a relationship dating
back to the origins of the island.
Even though in theory, their people are natural enemies.
Now confronted by a greater evil, Knuckles and this unlikely
ally must apply the lessons of the past to the present, or
there will be no future for any of them.

(05:49):
So this this does confirm something and and they put, they
make it pretty explicit in this issue itself that the fire ants
are sentient and they're, they know what they're doing, which
is wild. Do Kidnos eat fire ants like in
In the World? OK, OK, so I don't know, but I

(06:11):
do remember that Sonic shorts a fan made animation where where
it was a it was a Sonic X setting and Chris Thorndyke's
housekeeper Ella, again, this isall fan animation.
She was like, hey, I'm going to feed all of you your natural
diets as animals because we've never seen anthropomorphic

(06:33):
animals like you before, just regular animals.
And she served Ella. The maid served the whole Sonic
cast, their natural food. So for instance, Tails got a
dead rabbit and Knuckles got ants.
That's how I know that they eat ants.
That's very funny. Yeah.
Well, but was that a call back to this?

(06:56):
Yes, No. Knuckles and Archimedes are in a
giant desert named Sandopoulos, which is on the outskirts of
Angel Island. Knuckles says it will take days
to cross the desert, which is funny because the last issue,
the kind artist at Archie Comicsdrew us a map of Angel Island
along with the location of wherethese two knuckleheads are.

(07:17):
And it's only a few hours hike to get out of the desert.
Knuckles is just exaggerating. Well, for reference, they put a
scale, remember they did, they put a scale.
So I went back and I looked at it and it's like a 10 mile hike,
if that. That's not bad at all for a dude
who can glide. Yeah, right.
And he's talking about it's going to be days and and like I

(07:41):
was going to be like nice and belike, oh, maybe like they're on
the far side of the Angel Islandor something.
But they literally put a the redmarks, the spot kind of thing.
And they're like, you are here. They show exactly where Knuckles
and Archimedes is. And it's, it's, it's 10 miles.
They never thought any of the kids the children reading this
comment. Would would do the matter.

(08:02):
Yeah, or maybe it's like they would care because 10 miles is a
lot for a child. That's true, yeah.
I mean, Knuckles does have shortlegs.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, No, that's.
We'll double it. Six hours.
You'd have to be a a stupid idiot to be reading these as an
adult. Yeah, only.
Only the dumbest of people. Except for our audience, they're

(08:24):
all. Super smart, yeah.
Yeah, 100%. It's just the people who do
podcasts about it. They're really dumb.
The two begin their days hike when a giant sandworm, also
known as a sand crawler, pops out of the ground and starts
attacking the two. As everyone knows, sand crawlers
are giant worm like creatures that are attracted to and attack
body heat. I know what you're thinking dear

(08:46):
listener. How can a sand crawler be
attracted to body heat when the surface of the sand can get up
to 175° Fahrenheit, 80°C? How would the creature recognize
the body heat of a creature overthe surface of the sand?
Wouldn't it make more sense for the sand worm to be
hypersensitive to the vibrationsof the surface where one can

(09:07):
feel the slightest tremor like in the hit film Tremors?
I know you nerds thought I was going to make a Dune reference,
but Tremors is the superior filmabout worms who detect
vibrations on the surface of sand.
Anyway, the answer is no. I have put more thought into
this than the writers have. The giant sand crawler starts

(09:29):
attacking Knuckles, Archimedes starts blowing fire out of his
mouth like all fire ants can, and the sand crawler changes
directions and starts speeding towards Archimedes.
He has the sand crawler chase him to a huge boulder where he
jumps on the rock and the sand crawler crashes into the boulder
and presumably dies like in the hit film Tremors.

(09:51):
Knuckles and Archimedes, exhausted from their run in with
the exhausted from their run in with the sand crawler, sits down
to have a snack. So they started roasting
marshmallows. Knuckles asked Sucker Medes
about the history of the fire ants and the enchidnas, and he
starts monologuing for the next few pages about history we just
learned about in the last two issues.

(10:13):
All right, so Enchidna, Enchidnalegends tell to a time when
island was land bound and imperiled by a great white
comet. How do I know?
Because more people were there in response to the threat, Yaw
and Kidna ancestors had concocted A daring plan to save

(10:35):
their city. They gathered Chaos emeralds and
dumped them into their crystalline caverns beneath
their city. The plan was to focus the Gems
energies through this Chaos chamber, negate the force of
gravity and physically uplift inKidnapolis out of harm's way.
An inspiring Plan 1 which may have never worked if we fire

(11:01):
ants hadn't performed the groundbreaking ceremony.
My ancestors granted I island the freedom of the skies, a
freedom it enjoys. That is very day.
Not the first time we'd saved a kinder bacon or the last.
Decades later, technologists Edmund and Dimitri devised a

(11:21):
method to return this island to the ground.
The scientific elite thought it too dangerous to try, but that
only served to go the power hungry and unstable Dmitri.
Further driven mad by his own ambition, he used the Chaos
Siphon he and his brother designed.
It drained the power of 11 of the islands, 12 emeralds in

(11:45):
themself, and raised a great Dark Tower as a monument to his
treachery, eating as eating away, eating away.
At its foundation, my people collapse the tower within
itself, burning Dmitri beneath Mount Fate for all times.
Or so we thought. Since then, we've always been

(12:07):
there, behind the scenes, lending out banana as needed,
from generation to generation. That's why I've been testing
you, to make sure you're up to the task.
That lie and mate. Then Dmitri resurfaced as
Enerjack captured us and dumped us here out of spite.

(12:27):
I get that you have to, with these miniseries, assume that no
one knows what has happened in the past couple of issues.
I don't think you. Should be doing that.
I don't think that's a good strategy at all.
Recap every. Well, because the, the idea is

(12:49):
if I'm a kid and I'm walking along, I'm like, oh, look,
there's a Knuckles miniseries. I'll pick that up.
I, I shouldn't have to read all the Sonic stuff to know about
the Knuckles stuff, right? That's how.
You like it? You like?
No, no, I, I I don't think he should just do separate issues
period. Yeah, I think, I think this

(13:09):
should be 1. Large.
Yeah, thing. One large story.
Well. That and I, I, I mean, I guess
they're trying to make it so youhave two different like comic
series going at like in tandem. But I, I would be like, this
should be Knuckles. I mean this should be a Sonic
issue and it's just, you know, Knuckles focused, but I don't

(13:31):
know how contracts work and stuff like that.
There's probably a thing where they're like Knuckles can't lead
a Sonic comic, you know what I mean?
But if it was me, I would have like knuckles on the cover, like
spray painting sonics, like surething.
So it just like and then like tag it so it says knuckles under
it or something. That's very 90s and cool kid,

(13:53):
right? But do.
You think this three-part miniseries should have been one
literal issue? Or I mean. 1000 'cause they're.
Really stretching it out with all this exposition, 'cause this
isn't, look, this is supposed tobe a massive reveal.
It's like, oh shit, the fire ants, they were behind.
All of these kidnas. Like they were behind

(14:13):
everything, not really behind everything, but more so like
they were there when no one elsewas for the Anchidnas and the
Anchidnas don't even give a shit, which is a good like look.
That alone I do kind of enjoy. That's actually a really good
message. How we don't care about the
little guy who despite them doing everything for us, doing a
hard manual, hard manual labor for or just any kind of Labor,

(14:36):
right for us. And like we like, especially for
the, the and the technologicallyadvanced, the wealthy, the
privileged, even the middle class, they're the ones that are
reaping all these benefits. And all the ignorance, all of
the pride, all of the arrogance that in Kidnapolis has that this
middle class or wealthy elite has completely, just entirely

(15:02):
buoyed made possible by these literal worker ants, right?
That's a cool message. I don't like the delivery of
that message because it's just massive exposition.
Yeah. And half this issue is literally
just Archimedes monologuing and knuckles.
I would. Have much preferred if maybe

(15:23):
they do a flashback we focus a story on than just one option.
But you focus a story on a a random enchidna and then a
random Ant or group of fire antsthat help the enchidnas along
the way, which is technically what they did by freeing you
know those fire ants that free Dmitry, but that was really more
of like, oh, what was that? That was like a little Easter

(15:44):
egg almost and then they then they explained it later.
No show it show how they do it. I mean, like, like really like
go into it how they how they managed to help over a long
period of time instead of just this one tiny moment because
that doesn't feel that doesn't feel like, oh, we've been here
for generations helping people well.
Also, and and maybe they'll expand on it, but my gut says

(16:07):
they won't there's a whole fire Ant civilization yeah the with
they specifically this was what I was going to bring up at the
end of it, but we're talking about it now they specifically
call out like the groundbreakingceremony right, which is that
the. Oh, sorry, have we gotten there
yet? Well, he.
Just yeah, he said it in his monologue.
OK, OK. Yeah.

(16:28):
And there's a there's a picture showing, Yeah.
And they're all wearing shoes, which they weren't wearing shoes
last time we saw it, but that's a different conversation.
That was a. Fashion thing.
That was a that was a fad. If you're, if you're part of the
groundbreaking ceremony, you getshoes.
That's that's what you get. But like the that implies, I
don't know what's up with my TV screen.

(16:49):
That implies like they use the word ceremony, you know, like, I
hate that. I hate the fact that you used to
work, No. No, no, I think that ground
breaking ceremony is just a turnof phrase.
I think it's just a turn of phrase.
How do you turn a phrase shut the.
Fuck up. I think it's just a turn of
phrase, OK? It's just the same, OK, Now,

(17:10):
Now, should the Ant be saying that?
I don't really think so. That's a writer's decision.
But what I think is what how I'minterpreting is is that the ants
like, oh, this is the day like that the Incanoes are doing it.
So let's let's help them. Let's give them a big push.
So so. It It's not like a ceremony that
happens, no, I. Don't actually think so.

(17:30):
OK. I think that's.
Taking that too literal. I'm a literal man.
Hey, that's a turn of phrase. There you go.
Man, I thought I thought I was reading some dumb shit but it
turns out I was hearing it this whole time.

(17:52):
Shut up, that was a good joke. Just and then more of this, more
of this, Hey, let's do comic panels, but tilted.
Yeah, I hate that. It is.
It can be cool, but this is the wrong time for it.
It's it doesn't vibrate. Just do it normally like this,
where it's where it's the yeah, you can do intercuts, that's
fine. But it just feels too much like

(18:12):
a comic. A literal comic within a comic.
All right, here we go. We cut to Enerjack talking to
himself, flying and landing on abarren piece of land.
OK, actually. So I'll do it like this.
I won't cover. I I remember now.
We did it like this. Yeah.
But I I won't do this because that that actually hurt.
That was not good for audio. Excellent.

(18:34):
With the Guardian and the fire ants dispatched and their
allies, the aptly named Chaotic indisposed, I may affect my
homecoming undisturbed, brah. At long, long last, the former
site of Incanopolis. Or should I say, the wants and
future site of Necronopolis. It's just why did he choose that

(19:05):
fucking name? I like the idea that the kidnas
just can't name anything withoutopolis at the end.
Like. That that's just something
that's just like, if it's a city, it's obviously Neopolis.
It's I'm. I both love and hate this so

(19:26):
much. Is that did?
Did you fuck that up? No, it's Necronopolis.
Yeah, not Necropolis. Necronopolis.
One more. One more.
Yep, there it is. Necronopolis.
What the fuck, dude? Yeah.
Necronopole. Necronopole.
Enerjack. OK, so like we should have
talked about this last time, butEnerjack is like too cool of a

(19:49):
name for this dude, you think? Enerjack is a cool name I think.
So but not for the like. It's completely does not fit
Enerjack. Enerjack sounds like like a like
a breakdancer. Or like a DJ, like a.
Like a like a 90s. 2000 DJ Breakdancer weirdly fits, but he

(20:09):
he's like a breakdancer that thinks he's hot shit that
everyone just kind of thinks he's a loser and like he'll go
to all these competitions and he's just like, I don't get it.
I'm not winning and I'm not getting laid.
And he's really confused by thatbecause he thinks he like won
everything. Got it.
So the Australian breakdancer from the Olympics.

(20:30):
She was cooler. To be to be honest, break
dancing should absolutely be an Olympic sport, they just need to
vet it better. Specifically in Australia, which
makes me sad that they removed it.
Did they really? They removed.
It and I think it was because ofher or like it was such a joke
they were like to be. Fair.
I would be really proud that I got an entire Olympic sport

(20:54):
removed by my performance. I would put that down on
resumes. Dude, that's.
Not that's not confirmed, I'm just speculating that, but I'm
pretty sure that it's not comingback.
And I'm pretty sure it was because the organizers were
like, yeah, we shouldn't have fucking done this.
I I mean I think which. Which which blows because
looking at the actual winners like that was fucking amazing.

(21:18):
That's that is some Olympic level shit.
Hey, this is Dominic in post. So I did look this up and I
found that in peoplemagazine.comof all places, that break
dancing are also known as breaking was actually not going
to be part of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

(21:39):
That was decided in 2022. And there's a whole bunch of
like localized organizing, bureaucratic stuff that I don't
need to necessarily get into. You can look that up yourself if
you want. But it just wanted to correct
that it was decided in 2022 whatthat breaking was not going to
be included in 2028. And it was not a result, or at

(22:03):
least not a direct result of theAustralian break dancer from
2024. So as funny as that is that you
do so poorly at a sport that youget it removed from the
Olympics, That was not the case.So sorry.
Enerjack slams a staff into the ground and a city begins to be

(22:24):
built all around him. We cut to Knuckles and
Archimedes, who are what I can only presume days into their
couple hour walk. Yeah, it's a joke.
No, we cut to because you you skipped an article.
We cut down. Not like there should be the
word are in there. We cut the knuckles at
Archimedes, who are what I can only presume are days into their

(22:47):
couple hour walk. Oh, look at me, Mr. College Boy
over here. You skipped a whole word.
You sound like a fucking cavemanbro.
Hey, man. Blame.
Blame the school system. I can't actually.
Knuckles passes out from the heat and awakens to a vision of
his dad in the sky, Lion King style.

(23:10):
And what was Nicholas's dad? I don't know.
Has he ever spoken? Yeah, he totally did.
And that one issue where he was introduced, do we?
Give him James Earl Jones voice.We will now.
OK. Yeah.
It's not even like his original voice.
That'd be actually funny if, like, that wasn't even his
voice. It was just like I'm imagining

(23:31):
James Earl Jones as my dad. You must be brave, my son.
You must be very brave. The path which lies ahead is a
long and difficult one. Enerjac can be defeated.
The key to your present peril isin our past.
You've come so far, too far to surrender to despair, especially

(23:56):
when salvation awaits you beyondthe next rise.
Archimedes and Knuckles begin walking over a sand dune only to
find an Oasis. The two of them make camp and
replenish their energy and head back out on their hike.
They leave and look back, only for the Oasis to have
disappeared. It should all.

(24:17):
It's also pertinent to the storyto mention that they do
acknowledge like is this just a mirage?
Is this all fake? And they're like, no, no, this
is real. Like I have the items that we
got from like so it was there was some.
I I personally feel like that was implied because they like
replenished their. Energy and stuff, but yeah.
I you know what, you're right tomake it more explicit, so it.
Was it was not just because I thought it was a mirage too when

(24:38):
reading it. Like no, they acknowledge it's
not a mirage, it's legit. In front of our two heroes,
however, is a darkened city. Knuckles rushes in and
immediately starts fighting somerobots.
Anna Jack's been one busy and kidna.
He's recreated in Kanopolis intoa dark, corrupt reflection of
ancient history. It's like 1 big maze.

(25:02):
Any idea what to look for him? Well if Dmitri is running true
form, he's probably held up in his new home AKA Anna Jack Sido.
Knuckle starts beelining throughthe city with every robot now
following Knuckles and Archimedes.
Knuckles rushes into a building that has a gate release.

(25:23):
He rushes in and activates the gate, keeping all the robots
outside but locking Knuckles andArchimedes in with whatever is
in this God forsaken place. Knuckles is running through this
building with Archimedes on his shoulder, Jiminy Cricket style.
Knuckles remarks on the lack of enemies in the building when
Knuckles gets punched in the face, knocking him to the

(25:45):
ground. Knuckles looks up and sees the
chaotics, all hypnotized and allready to attack.
End of Part 2. OK.
I'm going to open with. I think is probably the question
that everyone's thinking right now is when we think about giant

(26:10):
worm movies, is Dune better or Tremors?
They're 2 completely different movies.
I'm answering this straight honestly.
They are two extremely differentmovies to the point where they
are incomparable. But Tremors is truly is truly in
80s or 90s nineties classic likeit has all the good things about

(26:36):
80s movies and then also a giantfucking worm that comes out of
the ground like that is it is truly one of the most perfect
creature movies to ever be made.I'm not joking.
It has such a wonderful pace andso satisfying kills.
It's. Been a while since I've seen it
truthfully. I watched the trailer right
right before writing this and I was just like Oh yeah Tremors is

(26:59):
good. I like.
I kind of ended up remembering it.
Tremors fucks. So hard.
I'm not joking, I agree. An opinion I don't have about
Dune. I like dune.
I don't think Dune fucks, I think Tremors fucks Dune.
Is really, really, really good in my opinion.
I think it's amazing cinema, a true cinema.
And also they were able to adaptthe what was considered the
unadaptable, especially something that's so I've not

(27:22):
read it, but it to me it seemed very wordy and like, you know,
legendarily like a hard sci-fi. Was it hard sci-fi or soft?
Yeah, that's hard. Yeah.
And yes, I want. To respect those terms, I think.
It's hard, OK, because how it's doing its sci-fi is very, I

(27:43):
mean, the whole point is there'sno computers or anything in the
world. And so they because was it AI
was rampant or it was something along those lines and they're
like, we can't have computers period it.
Sounded like something like Warhammer 40K.
There's a reason why there's no AI in 40K.
But then they. I, I guess I, I think it's soft
because we're technically finding a magic drug that makes

(28:03):
people go into this like hypnotic state that can do super
calculations. So we're going to say soft.
We're going. To say soft, I'm sure people
will correct us, but regardless,regardless, it is just the
classic piece of sci-fi that hasbeen unadaptable and was
attempted to once before, like, you know, famously at least once

(28:26):
before and it didn't work out. So I I really do want to give
the new Dune, the Denis Venu films their their flowers
because they really does deserveit.
But it doesn't fuck. It doesn't fuck like Tremors
does I? Mean when you've got Kevin
Bacon, you're fucking when you have.
Kevin Bacon going to the premiere and he's going, I'm in

(28:47):
a fucking movie about worms and like crying about it.
It's like my fucking career is here.
And then not realizing the goal that he had just been part of
he. He well, for for the record, I
was just reading about this, he considered Tremors to be like
one of his worst films for the longest time and then then he
watched it. Yeah.
Kind of he, he literally was like Tremors is the only movie

(29:09):
of mine that I've watched more than once.
He's like, I kind of love it andI think I can.
Make foot loose. Yeah, right.
What I remember of that movie was it's a movie that just makes
sense in terms of like how how you approach the situations that
you're like thrown into. I remember watching it and being

(29:31):
like, yeah, that, that makes sense.
I would also like try to go about it this way.
Like, yeah, I'm going to try pole vaulting rock to rock
because what else am I going to do, right?
Like things like that where I was just like, yeah, there
there's solutions to everything.Makes sense.
You're not screaming at the movie being like, why are you
going into that room? Why are you?
Yeah, yeah, even. The people who die, it's like,

(29:53):
no, that would be me. Because like the guy was like,
get off the ground. So he goes into like a tire,
like like a literal, like, that's it.
And it's like, no, I would make that same mistake because this
concept is so fucking insane, you know?
Yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, no, I would
make that same mistake. And, and it just wasn't that the
the Chinese shop owner who gets like totally wrecked.

(30:15):
And I'm like, oh shit, he can gothrough buildings.
He can just jump and go through buildings.
It's like, that's a new escalation.
Like, that's so cool. It's like, cool.
It's cool stuff. That makes sense.
Yeah. I.
Agree, and it's paced. Really well, so really good
character, right? Also really good human
characters like the the charismaon each of them is really good.
Obviously some are better than others, but obviously Kevin

(30:35):
Bacon's great and I'm forgettingtheir names, but his his his
friend, his buddy who was only in the second one.
And then finally the character who is in literally all like 6
or 7 films or whatever. Yeah, Bert I think is his name.
Yeah, that. Sounds right.
Who's like? Locked and loaded every single
freaking movie I. Know I have it, I know.
You do? I've looked.

(30:55):
I've found it before. I just don't know where it is
now. Yeah, because I was.
Going to say you can just quickly grab it and look at the
guy's name, but I, I can't find it right now.
Yeah. Oh, yes, I can.
Literally right next to Jackie Chan, up one.
Right, right, right, right. Oh, it's a.
Nice addition. Fred.
It's Fred Ward. Yep, I know.
Yes, it is. I did know that name before.
I just forgot it. Yeah.
Fred Ward. That's awesome.

(31:16):
Dude. What?
What? What did you Where'd you get
this from? Arrow does special editions of
like their first runs of movies,so it comes with like a little
booklet and a nice poster and whatnot.
They did Tremors one and two, which I know I've seen Tremors
too. I don't remember it it.
Has Kevin Bacon's sidekick or like the the friend in in the

(31:37):
second one only that makes. Sense like he's.
Only in the 1st and 2nd and then.
On the backside has the originalposter.
Oh yeah. Oh fuck yeah.
This is an amazing poster, by the way.
Yeah. Like, I love that poster a lot.
Kudos. Man see this is.
What I'm talking about, I would hang that poster up and
reference is something we're talking about earlier, yeah.

(31:59):
Off camera, Nick is the type of person that he's like, well, I'm
going to move in two years. This isn't a forever home, so
I'm not going to do anything, Yeah.
I'm a broken person, no. I would do the same thing.
I'm the same way. So back to Sonic.
So is the implication with the ants in the ground breaking
ceremony that the ants literallythrew the island up?

(32:26):
No. In tandem with the chaos energy
in. Tandem.
Because he says the line withoutour groundbreaking ceremony, you
guys wouldn't have done Jack shit 2.
Things. It is two things.
One, they dug. Yeah, they did the digging.
So they did. Digging they.
Disconnected from the earth and then also did the.

(32:49):
Ankidnas know that did the Ankidnas then what the it's?
It's implied that the Ankidnas didn't know that and that they
would have they It's implied. I don't know if they directly
mention it, but Archimedes is arguing.
He is saying that in their culture they take credit for it
and the Anchidnas would have fucked up and they would it

(33:11):
would have been a failure. The floating island would have
been a failure if it not for their digging and for their
pushing. But then what?
OK, why? Why did they do this?
Who? The anchidnas?
No. No, the fire ants, that's.
The the motive is a good question and I I didn't see
anything there. My my assumption is that they
are well, OK in the absence of any direct reason so far, yeah,

(33:33):
I'll. Accept.
I'll accept theory it is. Simply that they are good
people. That's that is the implication
that Ken and and Mike are givingus.
I don't think that's good. I don't.
Buy it. I don't.
Buy it at all? Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know right now, Archimedes at least.
So that generation of fire ants,we don't fucking know.

(33:55):
And it's like, what the hell? For Archimedes so far, it just
seems like he's more just so pissed about the lack of credit,
and that lack of credit is deeply seated into fire ants
culture. You know what?
You know what? Here, I'm going to, I'm going to
run in defense of Ken and Mike here unnecessarily, like they
don't deserve it. They don't deserve it.

(34:15):
I'm not sold one way or another.I'm like, this might get
explained. I'm just curious.
So go yeah. Yeah.
So so far it's doesn't seem likeit's well explained the the
motive. You're right, that could be
explained later, hopefully by the third and last issue of this
miniseries where they complete an arc.
But yeah, we don't know right now.

(34:38):
What would be cool is if this isn't, this is an example of
how, oh, some cultures, they just fucking hold on to
something forever and they just can't let it go when they
should. Well.
And I, I like, it's interesting you said that because I like
that's kind of the direction I was thinking and I kind of hope

(35:01):
that's like. They.
Try to deliver on that because there's an interesting, they're
already playing with that core concept with Knuckles, which is
why I like a, a little bit of what's happening here with
Knuckles in the sense that like he always assumed he had this
like role as the guardian of thechaos Emerald and like Angel

(35:23):
Island and whatnot for a, from like a sacred duty standpoint.
And now he's realizing that it'slike, oh, you know, my ancestor
is the one that like, fucked this all up.
And I'm doing this to atone for the sins of my forefathers,

(35:43):
right? Like the sins or fathers?
Yes. And OK, thank you.
That's where I was going to go with it because on top of so the
last thing I said was, and they should my, my opinion on top of
that is I don't think you shouldlet it go.
Some things you shouldn't let go, but you shouldn't let it
consume you in your personal whatever in your personal life.

(36:05):
So for instance, the analogy obviously that is we are
superimposing this story in particular, not Ken and Mike
probably, but my analogy is is yeah, the culture of like, for
instance, Native Americans is one of or is one of like, yeah,
some years ago we were like fucking genocided.

(36:28):
And it's like, we shouldn't let that like.
So the argument is like, oh, they should let that go because
it's been so long. Now I'm saying, no, they
shouldn't. No, they shouldn't.
Now, should that mean that they should completely, you know,
fucking, you know, pull away from all of society and not be
friends with anyone or like, youknow, of course not.
Of course the fire ants shouldn't do that.

(36:49):
Or, you know, in my opinion, I don't think community should do
that because the only way we cancome together as a society is to
is to come together. I should say the only way to
progress forward is to come together in certain ways, right.
But I mean, I'm talking, I mean talking extremely broadly here.
Well, well. I was going to.
So I don't agree with that. OK only because Knuckles was

(37:15):
lied to. That would make sense if like he
knew the story of Ener Jack and like what took place 1000 years
ago right? So.
Knuckles is like, so my, the analogy I'm putting on, I'm
superimposing on top of the story is Knuckles is like a
young man who was lied to and isa white nationalist or like

(37:38):
thinks, thinks like a conservative or like a typical
American conservative. Let me say that.
Let me say that, which is inherently white nationalist,
but you know what I mean? Sure.
OK. Where it's like, yeah, no,
we're, we're the stewards of theland.
You know, we fucking oh, did yousee that one Jubilee thing where
it was 20 on one? There was a guy who argued like,
yeah, my, my ancestors, we are Native Americans because they

(38:00):
came over on the, on the Mayflower or something like that
where it's like, yeah, he was a cool.
My parent, my, my ancestors werecolonials.
That's where we're at, Nick. That's where we're at.
I. Know where we're at?
That's just in defense of America.

(38:21):
They do for television and YouTube series.
Try to get the most extreme and insane people on camera.
Correct. No, that that is that is an
argue. So that's a whole thing we can
get into. But that is a criticism of that
Jubilee channel. Much talk much, much talked
about in recent weeks actually. OK, because.
That's an insane thing to say, yes.

(38:45):
Yeah. OK, back to sorry.
Sorry that that was a little tootopical for for my taste even,
but regardless, sorry we got lost in the sauce.
But the point is, is that a coolthing that Archimedes could
could be portrayed here is that Archimedes, like, yeah, I have
this grudge against you and I'm using it to not work against

(39:07):
you. And that's why I fucking hate
you. But he, I don't think, I don't
get the vibe that he's not has agrudge against Knuckles or
anything. No, no, I they are.
Working. They are working together
because of the dire circumstances.
Not only that. Like he, he, he was testing
Knuckles. He was purposely putting them
through trials to make sure he'sready for what's coming ahead.

(39:29):
Like that to me, doesn't scream like I hate you.
Like he's, he's trying to make him better, you know?
What? I agree with you, I will.
I am wrong. That isn't hate I.
Just hate that. Ohh yeah there's a difference
'cause I do hate that too. No, no.

(39:50):
You're I was thinking that way and you just showed me a better
way to read it. And I'm like, no, actually I
agree with you, Nick, that that is the I was reading that
incorrectly. I, I fucking hate how it's
written, then yeah, I actually despise that because I I one of
the most annoying, you know, stories, lines or tropes or
whatever is yes. Oh, I was just testing you this

(40:11):
whole time. No, fuck off.
That's not how people work. That's how people should work.
Yeah, I agree. It's like.
TikTok tests where it's like, ohtesting your partner and like,
you know, doing this to them like or just break up with them
because you don't trust them. That's fine.
Just be a straightforward personyou.
You could actually probably argue that they're in this
situation because of Archimedes,because if he like didn't do all

(40:35):
these stupid fucking tests to Knuckles and just like sat down
and had a conversation with him like this could have been in a
like this. Could have been cool Chaonix.
Was in a. Whole.
Group together because Archimedes captured them all and
then this guy comes and shows upand immediately takes some.

(40:55):
If, you know, we didn't spend like 2 weeks trying to figure
out where the chaotics went. Like, I guess we don't know the
timetable, right? I don't know how long it took
for Knuckles to sit down and tryto find everyone.
They got a screw. I don't know how time works and
if they're going to like addresstime in a smart way in the

(41:15):
series there. There is like a breathing room.
There should be a breathing room, right?
For it's like and and look, unless it's like an insane jump
like 20 years later, like Mobius20 years later, right?
Unless it's that I know. That's a direct reference.
It is a direct. Reference by the way, I have
that comic. Yeah, I I haven't read it, but I

(41:37):
know of the name. But anyway, unless it's that the
I hate this, I do hate this about stories sometimes stories
they need to not literally, you know, portray the time, but you
do need to portray some of the time.
I agree. Like I know montages are
montages but I still sometimes Ineed to like feel that.

(41:58):
I mean where it's like. OK, five months shouldn't be.
They don't have to be 5 months. Five months is five months, but
like 5 months can be 10 minutes or 5 minutes in a movie or a
story or whatever. I just don't buy it sometimes
instead of like 30 seconds. I agree.
Yeah, sometimes. It depends on the montage or
whatever, or the time jump, yeah.

(42:19):
And like, that's, that's a pretty, I mean, I don't know if
it's a big issue, but I mean, I don't know how long the chaotic
screw was missing until Knucklesfound them, right?
I, I, I this, you can assume a few days at minimum.
This. Leads me to probably another
pain point of this whole arc of this mini series.

(42:40):
It's the classic. We've been captured, we've been
hypnotized, which was shown in the at the end of the last
issue. But still, it's like now, now
the hero has to fight his friends.
Yeah, I barely care about these motherfuckers.
I mean, I really don't after allthis time, as someone whose
first Sonic the Hedgehog game actually sitting down and
playing was Sonic Heroes, where I did play as the chaotics,

(43:03):
right, I still don't know the personalities of the chaotics.
We. Know more about the fire Ant
that's been hanging out with knuckles than the chaotics bro.
Dude, when you put it that way, that's actually insane.
You're correct. I know, that's actually insane.
What they should have done is take whoever focus tested as the

(43:26):
coolest, so probably SPO or Vector, and have one of them
join like he didn't get capturedand they join Knuckles and
Archimedes just so that we can like develop one of the chaotics
crew right? Yes.
That's it. And the other guys can, like all
else, be like captured and. Agree they.

(43:48):
Do their little fight, blah blahblah.
And then that way when more things happen in the future,
then you concentrate on another Chaotics member who but knowing
how these fucking comics go, they're going to introduce a new
character and focus all of theirtime and energy on that or a
whole. New fucking team, yeah.
We just won't ever get to know who SBO is deep down, right?

(44:10):
And it doesn't have to be like insanely detailed, but like,
give me a a core character traitand an arc.
Yeah, right. Yeah, I just want.
I don't know who these people, who these characters are.
I know. Like.
Vector is just guy who says findthe computer room.
You don't get that reference butfind the computer room and is
the leader because did he the leader?

(44:32):
He. OK, so other than Knuckle.
So in the game after the after so starting from Sonic Heroes
onward, Vector is the de facto leader of the I.
Kind of assumed he was the dumbest.
And the leader? Oh.
OK, Yeah, that's fine. So and.
Then Knuckles is too tied to Team Sonic in Sonic Heroes and

(44:53):
everything else and all because it's the games, right that he's
not part. He's not tied to the the the
characters anymore or to the chaotics anymore.
OK. And that's.
How it's been. I buy it in.
Game world at least. So it's disappointing because
there are seeds of really cool things to like.
You can say things here, really cool lessons and things about

(45:16):
society or how people work, and none of it is attempted.
It's just punch. Developing characters is
something that they just don't really do.
I feel like everything is just like lore and story and.

(45:36):
I do wonder, it's like, is this what people mean by it's just a
kids comic? Is that what they mean?
Is this where the standard was and is?
I don't. Know I.
Hope not cuz kids, kids have been suffering in that sense for
not suffering, but you know whatI mean?
It's like you're you're wasting like I've always said this, but

(45:57):
like whenever I'm around a kid, I'm like, I don't baby them.
Yeah, I don't, I don't treat them like shit or anything.
Of course I'm not talking the way I talk to you, but I'm like
I see if I see like a 5 year old, I'm like hey, what what's
that buddy? Or like what's going on or what,
what are you thinking? I'm not asking them about stocks
or trades. Oh see, I am and.

(46:17):
That's why I'm very poor. I I.
Like I try to, when appropriate,I try to challenge kids and like
introduce a word. I love introducing kids to words
that they don't know about. I like to challenge them to
duels. Well, now you're just trying to
be cool and I. Win every.
Time, yes. That's The thing is don't let
them win because they're children.

(46:38):
Yes, exactly. They use big words around the
little children, Yes, OK. I really do.
I one time I had a my my cousin,my little itty bitty cousin.
He was what, 6 years old at the time, and I was like truly
exposing him to like bebop jazz,like Thelonious Monk, Charlie

(47:02):
Parker, just to see how he wouldreact and it, you know, it was
mixed results. Sometimes it seems like he'd be
interested. He he like the energy of it, but
he obviously like that's it really advanced shit for even an
adult. So I just just you know, I'm
like a challenging them and and and helping that developing

(47:23):
brain. Sure, right.
Are we are we not not. I'm not saying that fucking Ken
Penders has a obligation here toto develop the brains of the of
the readers, but you could try. You could like do something.
It is you could put something forward in the world other than
your I, I do think. This is going to be a criticism
of mine is about these comics ingeneral is it seems like they

(47:49):
want to try to tell big stories,but they get lost in trying to
tell these stories and kind of lose the like character
elements. I'll, I, I, I, you have put me
on something. Thank you.
That's a great point. That's a fantastic point.
They want to tell these big grandiose stories, deep stories,

(48:11):
but they never understood how to.
Yeah, I'll even that's that's a very bold claim because I need
to know even I don't know how. That's my Do you think we're?
I don't. I in my opinion, I don't feel
like I am. I don't feel like I am well
versed enough still to make thattotality.
I agree. Make that assessment.

(48:33):
I agree. But also we're kind of getting.
There no. Like I, I, I feel like we
haven't seen like the big, big stories.
Yet I agree. I concur.
I feel like we're just getting out of the like fun one shots
with like a hint of like something, but everything is
always just kind of been hintingat a bigger grandiose like

(48:55):
world, nothing concrete. And I feel like these knuckles,
the Sally miniseries, all of those stuff is like finally
starting to really it seems likeKen Penders is the one that's
like really driving these like story worlds, for better or

(49:15):
worse, And I mean for better. I, I, I want, I feel like that's
part of the reason why this probably has staying power is
because it's the world they're creating is interesting.
It is. It truly is, yes.
It's just yeah, I, I, I can't really comment yet.

(49:35):
I. Can't either.
It really it's it's giving me Star Wars prequel vibes where
it's like, oh, there's somethingreally cool here.
It was just executed really not well.
Yeah. And I still feel that way about
the prequels. Take off your roast into
glasses, folks. The sequels are worse but the
prequels they they are bad. Like it's OK, you can still say

(49:58):
that. Episode 1 has pod racing though,
so episode 1 is good. Best part?
Of that, that movie. Yeah, yeah.
I I mean I do think episode 1 isthe best and of.
Those three, yeah. I think it goes in order.
It goes 1-2 and three. I think 3 is the worst one.
I don't know how to feel about that because they're all so

(50:19):
messy. Yeah, they're messy, but one
felt the most cohesive and it feels like with two they kind of
go into a different direction orsome I, I don't know how to
describe it, but and also I haven't seen episodes 1-2 and

(50:40):
three since high school, I think.
Oh, OK, I haven't. Watched them in a while but not
that long. I'm not a huge.
Star Wars I What I'll say is I'ma huge Star Wars video game fan.
Yes, I think playing the Star Wars video games are always a
blast. I absolutely agree.
Those old Lucasfilms games, I 1000% agree.

(51:00):
And in fact, I'm a bigger Star Wars fan.
I consider between the two of us, I consider myself the bigger
Star Wars fan. Holistically, yeah, but I in
just comparing it to myself. I am the bigger Star Wars fan in
the video games than the movies.What?
I'll say is for the books. Because I have barely read the
books, I think I've read The Courtship of Princess Leia.
My biggest Star Wars thing that I got really into was the Star

(51:26):
Wars racing game. I mean.
That's a good one. Yeah.
I played it at a friends house and yeah.
It was great. I.
Played it at a friends house. That's awesome.
Yeah, Hell yeah. I always.
Wanted to play on the N64 cuz you could set it up so you have
two controllers so the right side would.
Be what? That was a thing you could do,
yeah. But it looks way fucking worse

(51:48):
on the N64 than the Dreamcast. So sure.
As someone who is spoiled playing the Dreamcast version, I
would go to a friend's house andthey're playing the N64 when I'm
like this looks like fucking trash.
It's not like the Dreamcast. It's not thinking.
That's true. Do you know?
Do you know what I'm talking? I don't know if the people do.
No, it's the the commercial, yeah, that they had the

(52:12):
Dreamcast. It's thinking.
Grab your guitar. Now it's time for Sonic Grams.
You can write to Sonic Grams. Oh yeah.
It's a legally distinct Sonic Grams.
It's an unaffiliated Sonic Grams.
We made our own Sonic Grams. Normally I read the emails but I

(52:37):
didn't print this out and you can't.
Read it angle. That I am at with my TVI have an
OLED and it's got a pretty glossy screen, which 99% of the
time I'm OK with, except for when I sit in this exact
position, which means I can barely see the screen.
You got it. So Dominic, you're going to read
it today. He hasn't read this.
So you're going to get raw reaction.

(52:59):
Close your eyes really quickly and make sure I'm on the right
e-mail. Thank you.
Because I was on the wrong one. OK, go ahead and read it out
loud. No.
Subject Mike F If Knuckles was agirl, do you think she'd be
named Knockers? And so I thought about this a

(53:21):
lot and thank you, Mike F for the question and truly the
correct, you chose the correct time to ask this because we're
doing the Knuckles miniseries. So I appreciate the theme.
The answer is yes. I believe if Knuckles was a
female, she would be called Knockers.

(53:43):
Thank you for the question, Dominic.
For the for for the record, I'vebeen so for our listeners, I
have been almost lying down on this couch while doing this show
because this this. We're going to fix this this.

(54:04):
Mic stand slowly like scan through this YouTube video if
you're watching the mic stand slowly goes down like it's just
so slowly just creaks downward anyway.
So if Knuckles was a girl, do you think she'd be named
knocker? So straight answer is no.
Well, you're gay answer. Thank you thank you no, but my

(54:26):
my actual honest answer is obviously that wouldn't pass
Sega sensors. No, that kind of would though
that's just Japan in the 90s. I actually I actually think it
might 1995 for. For well, you could also like.
You you can. Play it off they they.
Have they have a, they have an out, not an out, but they have a

(54:47):
There is plausible deniability in that, in that name.
It's not like boobs, right? No, it's.
It's like. No, she knocks them around.
Exactly. She.
Watches them that's. Awesome.
That's awesome. What the fuck is Laura Sue?
Give me knockers. Ken Benders.
Come on, ma'am. Knockers, they can.
It's such a good name. Such a good name.
I'm gonna have to wait for you to calm down before we get to

(55:11):
this next e-mail. Mike F all the all the bangers,
all the knockers. OK, here we.
Go next e-mail is also from MikeF.
Follow up to previous questions sent.
It was in all caps. OK.
If Dominic freaky Friday into knockers.
If Dominic Freaky Friday into knockers, would he immediately

(55:35):
get a breast reduction still? Or are her breasts too integral
to her character? That's a really good that's a
really good question, actually. It's also.
Again, timely because Freaky Friday 2 is about to come out
this weekend, so. Thank you.
Just going to mention that. Yeah, really, you just.
You mwah with the timing 100. Percent.

(55:55):
I can't comment this is a this is Dominic only question so.
The So the thing with this question is.
I know the answer if. I was no, if I had boobs, it
would be so cool. I would I would be rocking those
boobs all the time 100%. NACA Rocker.

(56:15):
By that I mean like I would. OK, so actually this actually
this reminds me of a really funny memory from high school
where I, I thankfully, I can't be that.
Funny because I wasn't there, no.
That's true. That's true.
That's a really conceited thing to say, actually.
That's kind of fucked up actually, because we didn't,

(56:37):
yeah. That was like a full like 5-6
years before we knew each other,yeah.
Hey man, just you didn't know what phone he was until you met
me exerting. The ownership.
OK, OK, here we go. So one time it was gym class, so
but health class. So really it was just gym class
in a classroom as opposed to thegym.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So just to give you the vibe of what this was, what the

(56:59):
atmosphere was like. OK, so it's just boys, because
we're talking about anatomic. Sure, the anatomy.
Anatomy and in. High school, it's just boys.
Catholic school. OK, separates.
No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Separate. So the girls get their own
class. OK, that's just so wild to me

(57:20):
because, like, in middle school,I was doing sex Ed with correct
With women. Yeah, yeah.
But it's but it wasn't Catholic school.
I know, I know. It's just.
It's just. That's just so wild to me.
Yeah, A. 100% and but I think the teacher was running real
late or something. They had to go do something and
the guys were just literally just bullshitting in one massive

(57:40):
like 20 person semicircle or whatever, you know, just
bullshitting right? And then back and forth, kind of
having a good time. And then all of a sudden, this
one guy, he's I will not say hisname.
He will say he's just says, man,you know, if I was a girl, I
would just look into the mirror and just I, I would sorry, man.
If I was a girl, I would look atthe mirror, get get naked and

(58:04):
just be like, yeah. And everyone just turned and
looked at him. And it's like, what?
It's one of those things that you say in high school where
it's actually so embarrassing that no one's laughing, no one's
making fun of you. It's just everyone genuinely
just thinks that was the most out of pocket thing they've
heard in in their whole life. And it's just like, OK.

(58:27):
And I saw him just retreat into himself in real time on his
face, like, yes, in real time inhis on his face.
And that that taught me that taught me to be like, oh, I
should never say anything in my life, but.
Here we are, yeah. Exactly.
But now I'm doing it in the safety of someone who's equally
stupid and we can potentially make money off of this.

(58:50):
See that's that's off. Stupidity.
Yes. Exactly. 100% yeah.
Oh dude, if we were, we were white nationalists.
I was going to say if we. Were white nationalists, we
would be rolling in the dough right now.
I got no joke. That's trying.
The joke is America. Yeah.
But anyway, would I get a breastreduction?

(59:12):
No, because I think boobs are cool.
I'm a boob guy. I'm sorry.
Well. And so I appreciate in your
defense, I don't know if you've,I think about your breast
reduction comment far more than any normal person should.
And your, your, your, like, explicit reason, as insane as it

(59:33):
was, was you were going to get aboob reduction because the boobs
would interfere with you sneaking around.
And so if you are knockers, there's no sneaking around.
No, you would just be busting through the front door and
knocking them around. That would be dude.
OK, actually, I don't know this.Are breasts helpful in a fight?

(59:54):
Probably not actually right. No, if anything, they're a
hinder. They're a.
Hinderance. So maybe that's why you.
Get the breast protective 'causethey're flopping around too much
that I mean, if they're too big,they hurt when you know, of
course they. Hurt like in every second of
your life, but but in a fight. Are you hoping to like, seduce

(01:00:17):
the person so they don't punch you or something?
No. It's like what if I?
What if I? How do they?
Help. Let's say there's.
Let's say there's three guys on my left, right?
So I know I'm like over here. One boom for each guy.
No, no, I go. Boom, boom and then boom.

(01:00:41):
And I'm the dead 1. Yeah, what if, man?
What if? What kind of range do you think
you've got on? These boobs.

(01:01:07):
Oh my God. OK, so have you noticed this?
Where it? So where are we going?
Have you noticed this? Where it's in in?
I feel like I. Need to end the podcast now
before you say something really fucking dumb.

(01:01:29):
OK, Yeah, do it. You should know no.
I need to know now. We can't tease the audience like
that. What are you about to say?
Oh my God. OK, I'm actively thinking Should
I? Should I?
You can't. You can't.
Should I? Remove this podcast from my
LinkedIn. OK, yes, my problem.

(01:01:49):
OK, I I will for different reasons and it's tied to that
thing. I didn't tell you at the
beginning of the show. OK, have you noticed how in a
hentai the the boobs are either like J cup size like incredibly

(01:02:11):
like large or nothing? And it's like can we just get
like C cups? Can we just get regular or like
you know, B like B to C to like D single so we're.
Going to start making a petitionfor Japan and it's going to be

(01:02:31):
make boobs normal sized again and.
And here's Yeah, so that that's the header of the of the of the
letter. And then just beneath that, just
just these words. Ready.
Hey, remember Shinzo? And that's the issue.
I don't have the outro but we need to end this one and that's

(01:02:57):

answer. I I'm going.
To cut that because people will do it and that will be sexual
harassment. Actually, it is.
It is, it is such like men of usto be like, yeah, sexually
harass us. Yeah, why not?

(01:04:02):
Yeah. Exactly.
That's how that's men are, men are.
I think we're just lonely for attention, no?
