Speaker 1 (00:01):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't like it. I don't like it. You would
like it. Nobody likes it. Nobody likes it.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
So yesterday it was a fun evening of recording. Mm so,
anyone who is listening, we are slowly getting back into
something for now. We recorded an episode, a short episode
of Cartoon Amy with Beast Wars, a episode of Pod

(00:35):
of Del Tora, and we worked on a little bit
of campaign's ideas. But yeah, so it's we haven't even
It's been a good little business.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
We've had chance to even uh fifteen minutes with this book.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yes, so I got you know what the funny thing is,
I woke up this morning and you know what, immaiately
showed up first on my for you page on TikTok
Beast Wars.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It hurt just your phone is insting.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
It was like talking like it was strictly about like Megatron. Yeah, yeah,
so that book. That's the same about that when that
first came out, like you you can even just tell like.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
HOWE read through quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
The second one is actually the one I probably read
the least of As a younger, I didn't really care
for it as much like when I was younger, but
like when I went and revisited it, like back when
I was doing the audio books down in Ashland, like
I had a new appreciation for it.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It got better with age. It's like a fine one.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, same thing with the uh Shoot. Like for me,
I like I enjoy like the third series is probably
my favorite, and that's good, like the Rea, Like I
know as much as you hate the Masked Ones, I
enjoy the Masked Ones because for me, it like it

(02:17):
just feels like that terror mystery or something like that,
Like it feels like like an American horror story kind
of feel because like that's when you get like the
first like entrance of Laughing Jack. That's where you get
like a lot of cool. Like that's the thing even

(02:38):
like yeah, it's just like a romance gone a toxic
relationship gone wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Really wrong. Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm saying you still say the fifth book of the Dreaded,
the Dread Mountain is still.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
The what's the best one? It's the hand of them.
You get the introduction of the kin.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You know, little Winer dog wing Weena dogs pretty much.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
With pouches and I love them.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know, you get the Dreadnoones, you get Gellick, there's
like it's just the whole. I mean, how it's paced,
It's just like the perfect. It's different, this happens different.
This happens ever Howard just eats it up Ron how Hadrick?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then how how they defeat Gellick? Is this perfect?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Has there written any other fantasy books here as a
play that's really kind of caught your interests that you've
I've been hearing about or anything, or you just whatever
I decide to bring you.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
No, I'm I'm very picky about when I reh.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
What.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'm extra picky about fantasy cause most of the time
somebody's trying to reinvent the Wheel. Tryna out talking Tolkien,
which is why I enjoy the tour so much, because
she's just like, fuck it, wh this Will is great.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm just gonna roll with the whale. I don't need
to reinvent it. People love the Wheel. Let's just give
them more Will. And she does her own thing.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's like you can see some like, you know, tolkien esque.
I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't even call it Tolkien, man. I mean, it's
just pure fantasy. Yeah you know, yeah, there's a dark
lord behind some mountains. But I don't know. I'm about
that the dragons aren't evil.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
They're more just like forces of nature and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Dragon writers and an academy and in order and movea
blah blah blah, and uh.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
You wanna go on about your hatred of Aragon. I
don't hate her. I I just don't care for where
people worry. How'd you feel?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Haven't you?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Have you seen how to train your dragons? That's in
the first one. Didn't care for any others really, cause
I don't like nothing's.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
You just don't like dragon riders at all, tay at all.
There's only one dragon rider you enjoy, and that's in
the The never Ending Story.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
And see that's that's a totally different kind of thing
because one Falco is luck riding.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
He's a luck dragon.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, so and then he looks like, you know, like
a Chinese yonhand and dragon.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of course you don't see a lot of antacy. And two, Mike, it's.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Not that annoying thing of like, there's this ancient order
of dragon riders and you're you're bonded with your dragon
and just shot the pope up.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
What about the slut dragons? The one who's bonded without
but other multiple people.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know, it's just I hate the whole. Like me
and my dragon are bunded. I'm like, are you bonded
with your horse?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
No, you're just get on your horse to god Well
to be just get them Falcour and you go.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't know. No, everyone's good. The different dragons are.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Magically No, no, no, I'm talking about bonding with your horse.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I don't know. You've played Skyrim.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
You're bonded to the horse, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
What I mean?

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Like, there's an ancient order of horse riders, and we're
bunded to our horses, and we picked them on their fools.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's so stupid. Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Let's make a book about it's we'll call it horse Riders.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
No, you're just give your fu horse and you go.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Like the mains ones name Spirit Felicity with the Mother
with its brother Black Beauty.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Because if if, if you're gonna have dragons that are intelligent,
they're not gonna let inbay Ryde.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Is that they're just not the.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Only reason betray you and bashing ride on Falcour is
because like there's no other way to get around, and
they're kind of in this together. So they're okay, hop
on one and all.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Up, not like we're bunded now and get your saddle.
And it's stupid because if you're gonna have dragons that
you ride on, the dragons need to be stupid animal.
I'm sorry, I'm If I'm an intelligent dragon.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
We're like, hop on, you know, saddle me up. Unless
I'm like a fucking weird ass kinky dragon. Ooh, you
d me so hard to be fair.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
You've you've read like Sepharah, Yeah, Sephara from yeah whatever
her name was.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
In in this when the dragon he's surviving what the
gold dragon.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Towards the end.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
One of them.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, it is a very reluctant, like just get on,
because unless it was the way to get you there
that quickly, unless it was a lapislash a lot, which
but that's what I said, unless I'm a weird kinky dragon,
which is the lap of slash a lot would be
like slide all up and down my neck, dig.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Those heels in, here's the spurs.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Unless it's like that, there is no earthly reason for
as intelligent as.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
A human dragon round the back at all. So what
if something happens.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That I allow dragon writing in in the.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
All put a suicide all I will kill everyone and
then I will kill myself the campaign, there'll be no dragon.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
And if they are, what if If you're gonna have
dragon writing, they have to be stupid beasts.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
If they're gonna be smart, no dragon, No, no dragon
riarty because like in the in Narnia. Okay, have you
read a Nardia? Yes, Okay, it's probably been that.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
There are two types of animals and yeah, have animals,
I'm talking any talking animal intelligent it's evening. Yes, they're
larger than now this is the larger but the larger
normal counterparts.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah. And it is.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Almost for abandon to ride on the backs of a
talking horse or talking because because.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
There is apology of humans.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, because I think somebody I can't remember which book
it is where someone wants to ride in the back
of the little I think it was The Cousin and yeah,
and he's like, you know, I'm gonna drop on your back, Amma.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
They're like, well, you're just a horse.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm like, I'm a talking horse, passive respects.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
It Edmund the Cousins useless. Yeah, So to.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Me, in my mind that that's how that would be
if you put on an intelligent dragon, they're not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Better ride on their backs unless it was like an
absolute necessity.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Did you ever read The Dragon's a Parent, The.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Dragon ri is a Pearn?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, yeah, yes I did.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Heart is interesting in that it is a sci fi
and also a fantasy because like the world of Parn
is another plan that people from Earth colonizes have been
decided to forego on technology and livedis really and the

(11:20):
dragons are genetically engineered.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Really yeah, like mystical magical. You know, there's no good
bond or their dragon. They're just dragons. They're just interesting.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
I've never I've never read them so, like I remember
in middle school I wanted to, but I never got
around to it. I nothing started doing comics of It's, yeah,
that's saying it. Like for there's a lot of books
here is of late that they've actually like from like
our childhood, that they're turning into comics for kids. It's

(11:56):
like they did The Box Car Children in the comics,
Judy Jones comics, the The Babysitters Club and the comics.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's thing.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
It's like a lot of like weird ones. It's like
I wouldn't I wouldn't like it like gets but it
like I'm happy they did. Like, there was one series
that I actually saw by accident that I used to
read when I was a little called uh Ricky Rockett
and his Amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Robots Ricky Rocket. Yeah. It was about this little.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Mouse who lives in a mouse society and he has
a robots, this giant robots and each like you know,
like in like there was one like where he had
a like each book is like another invading force from
another planet. Yeah, so like there, and it was kind

(12:49):
of similar like to the design of like like it
was around the same time when Captain and Her Hand's
got real popular.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
At the time. It's like he Canton Interfants was like
taking off right't care of Captain Underpants.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Actually, Dave Pike, the guy who wrote Captain Underpants, actually
written two of my favorite children books that I read,
A ship ton of Cat Kong and Dogzilla. They were
picture It was a picture book. And what he actually
did he had a corky, some mice and a cat.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
So he poses the.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Animals into things, took a picture of it, and then
digitally altered them and they are just stupid funny, like
you know, that they were like actually one of his
first books and they are fantastic, Like I recommend him
just for like a good giggle. If I find a copy,
I always pick a pup. I pick yeah, I have,

(13:52):
like I can't like, I think I still have my
original copy somewhere.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
You can remember those at the book.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, but time to go back to hell. That's time
for you to go back to hell. On time for
me to clock into hell. Ah, but let's go
