Yoo,
short
box
nation,
welcome
back
to
the
pod.
Thanks
for
pressing
play
today.
And
if
you're
brand
new,
hey,
welcome
to
the
show.
I'm
your
host,
Badr,
and
this
is
the
Short Box
Podcast,
the
comic
book
talk
show
where
we
bridge
the
gap
between
the
panels
of
your
favorite
comics
with
the
people
who
put
their
blood,
sweat,
and
tears
into
making
them.
This
is
a
short
box
classic
episode,
meaning
it's
an
oldie
but
a
goody.
You
know
the
deal
by
now.
I
went
to
the
archives
and
found
one
of
my
favorite
old
episodes
to
re-release
this
week.
We're
on
the
road
to
500.
So
I
wanted
to
look
at
what
were
some
of
the
other
key
milestones.
This
is
technically
episode
300,
which
was
released
way,
way,
way
back
in
October
of
2020.
Wow.
Episode
from
2020.
We
hit
we
hit
episode
300
during
the
COVID
years,
the
height
of
COVID
and
the
pandemic
and
the
lockdowns
and
all
that
stuff.
But
I
will
say,
episode
300
is
probably
prior
to
recording
episode
500,
which
I
did
about
two
weeks
ago,
I
can't
wait
for
you
guys
to
check
that
out.
Prior
to
recording
episode
500,
I
would
have
told
you
episode
300,
this
episode,
the
short
box
classic
you're
about
to
hear
now,
was
or
is,
was,
is
my
favorite
milestone
episode.
And
it's
because
not
only
was
it,
you
know,
the
full
cast,
not
only
was
it
Cesar
and
Ed
was
on
this
episode
and
Ashley,
but
the
production
quality,
I
feel
like
I
I
was
trying
new
things.
This
one
has
a
lot
of
voicemails,
a
lot
of
uh
phone
calls,
a
lot
of
friends
and
and
past
guests
of
the
show
called
in,
even
some
mystery
guests.
There's
one
in
particular
that
if
you
are
a
comic
fan
and
worth
your
spit,
you
will
absolutely
appreciate
hearing
from
one
creator
in
particular.
I
won't
ruin
the
surprise,
you'll
hear
it
like
immediately
after
this
intro
is
done.
So,
yeah,
I
mean
it
felt
like
a
giant
celebration.
We
have
people
call
in,
leave
voicemails.
I
mean,
you
know,
this
was
300
episodes
at
the
time,
so
about
six
years
into
the
podcast,
the
main
segment
of
the
show
uh
finds
us
discussing
Amazing
Spider-Man
number
300.
You
know,
300,
300,
why
not?
Amazing
Spider-Man
300.
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
that
is
Venom's
first
full
appearance
in
Spider-Man.
So
we
figured,
hey,
if
we're
gonna
celebrate
the
300th
episode,
why
not
look
at
one
of
the
most
iconic
comic
books
ever
that
happened
to
be
number
300,
right?
Amazing
Spider-Man
number
300.
So
that's
the
main
segment
of
the
show.
We
also,
uh,
like
I
said,
do
some
fan
mail.
We
do
uh
champion
season,
we
do
a
round
table
of
that.
So
this
is
a
really
fun
episode.
Right?
I
know
I
said
that
about
all
of
the
short
box
classic
episodes,
but
this
one
in
particular
has
a
very
fond
place
in
my
heart.
I
would
say
this
is
a
top
five,
if
not
top
three,
favorite
episode
of
mine.
Like
I
said,
not
only
is
the
production
quality
uh
really
good,
I
was
trying
new
things,
I
was
learning
new
techniques.
But
yeah,
it
was
one
hell
of
a
way
to
bring
in
a
giant
milestone
at
the
time.
300
was
such
a
big
deal.
So
it's
crazy
to
think
that
six
years
later
I'd
be
here
finalizing
the
500th
episode.
Man,
life
comes
at
you
fast.
If
you've
heard
this
episode
before,
awesome.
I
appreciate
you
for
sticking
with
the
short
box

the
last
six
years.
If
you're
new
and
you
haven't
heard
this
episode,
you're
in
for
a
treat.
But
here's
a
little
secret

The

Vader,

is
up?
I

Arthur
straight
from
the
set
of
Deadpool
to
uh
give
you
guys
a
shout
out
on
your
300th
episode.
Holy
crap!
That
is
that
is
a
lot.
Vader.
Man,
I
hope
I'm
saying
Bader.
Because
it
doesn't
sound
like
Bader,
not
bader,
but
Caesar
Ashley
Ed,
the
Sort
Box
Podcast.
Okay,
you
guys,
if
there
was
a
cake
for
your
300th
episode,
I'd
slice
it
and
dice
it
with
my
katanas.
Okay,
so
here
you
go.
Um,
congratulations
for
all
your
accomplishments.
Um,

Al Letson
5:28
Yo,
short
box.
What
up,
what
up,
what
up?
Yo,
this
is
your
boy,
Al
Ledson.
Um,
episode
300
is
utterly
amazing.
I'm
just
blown
away
by
it.
I
love
the
work
you
do.
I
love
all
of
you.
I
just
have
one
issue.
How
come
I
ain't
a
part
of
the
crew?
I
do
podcasts.
I'm
nerdy.
Come
on,
what's
up?
It
ain't
even
right.
Next
time
we
get
to
episode
600,
like
I
should
be
a
guest
or
something.
I
should
like
something
I
shouldn't
even
be
a
guest.
I
should
be
like
a
co-host.
I
got
peabodies
and
shit.
I
fit
in.
Let
me
how
can
I
be
down?
But
anyway,
whatever.
I
just
gotta
say,
I
love
this
podcast.
I
love
all
of
y'all.
I
can't
wait
to
see
you
again,
and
I'm
just
super
happy
and
proud
of
you,
man.
You
guys,
you
guys
did
the
damn
thing.
Dude.
Adam Wollett
6:17
Hey
guys,
it's
Adam
Wallett.
Congrats
on
300
episodes.
Here's
the
300
more,
and
I
know
you
don't
have
to
say
it,
you
couldn't
have
done
it
without
me.
Have
a
good
one,
guys.
Walt
6:29
Yo,
this
is
well.
Um,
congratulations
on
300.
We
will
shoot
the
chase
tones.
Peace.
Mom
6:38
Hi,
brother.
That's
your
mom.
Um,
I
listened
to
your
radio
show.
I
can't
believe
what
I'm
hearing
from
you.
Honey,
you're
nasty.
I
can't
believe
what
it
comes
up
from
your
mouth.
I
think
I
raised
you
better
than
that.
That's
the
reason
why
you're
missing
the
assembly
denom.
Because
we
I
guess
you
find
something
nasty.
And
say
that
with
you
too.
I
can't
believe
that,
man.
I
guess
I
have
to
call
his
mom.
He's
nasty
too.
I'm
sure
his
mom,
she's
not
gonna
be
happy
with
that.
I'll
talk
to
you
later,
but
I'm
mad.
Badr
7:15
Yo,
Shortbox
Nation.
We
made
it
300
episodes,
eight
years
in
the
making.
Some
of
you
have
been
rocking
with
us
since
our
debut
back
in
December
2012.
Some
of
you
have
stuck
around
despite
our
early
episodes
sounding
like
they
were
recorded
with
tin
cans.
A
few
of
you
probably
recall
Cesar's
first
time
he
ever
did
the
Bane
voice
on
this
show.
Of
course!
Episode
three,
for
those
of
you
keeping
track.
Uh,
some
of
you
maybe
remember
Ed's
podcast
debut
when
he
was
a
member
of
an
upstart
called
Gam.
Uh
some
of
you
were
probably
here
when
Ashley
joined
the
crew
full
time.
And
some
of
you
probably
started
listening
just
this
year.
Regardless
of
the
number
of
epis
uh
short
box
episodes
under
your
belt,
we're
here,
and
it's
because
of
listeners
like
you,
our
unmatched
short
box
nation,
the
greatest
listenership
a
podcast
could
ask
for.
But
just
in
case
we
are
joined
by
some
new
friends
tuning
in
for
the
first
time,
allow
me
to
welcome
you
to
the
Short
Box
Podcast,
your
soon-to-be
new
favorite
comic
book
podcast,
focused
on
reviews,
recommendations,
and
interviews
of
the
industry's
best
creators.
I'm
your
host,
Bodder,
Rob
Lightfield's
favorite
name
the
butcher,
and
I'm
joined
by
my
crew
of
sarcastic
fanboys,
including
my
right
hand
man,
my
nasty
man.
Say
so
Darrow.
Tonight
we
dine
in
hell.
We've
got
the
especial
Edmund
Danzar
here
with
us.
Special.
Hello.
And
the
Sultana
of
the
Short
Box
crew.
Sultan
Lenny.
Trust
me,
Cynonim.com.
I
was
on
it
all
night
long.
I'm
so
proud
of
you.
I'm
so
proud
of
you.
Yo,
thanks,
Ken.
I'm
feeling
special,
man.
Happy
300,
everyone.
How
are
y'all
feeling
today?
Cesar
8:48
Only
you
would
make
this
a
holiday.
Only
Bonna
would
make
this
a
holiday
that
we
have
to
come
into
work
to.
Like
it's
like,
yo,
the
300's
a
major
event.
Y'all
take
the
day.
Nah,
nah.
You
can't
take
the
day
off.
But
I
really
could
use
it.
My
mom
still
be
like
it's
really
harder.
My
aunt
in
Puerto
Rico
just
got
smashed
by
this
hurricane.
Yeah,
we
can't
have
her
on.
Is
that
why
you
brought
her
up?
Ed
9:13
It's
too
late
to
leave
a
voicemail.
Badr
9:15
Sorry.
Oh,
Alex.
Ashley,
how
are
you
feeling?
Happy
300.
Ashley
9:21
I
feel
special.
I
really
do.
I
thought
it
was
just
gonna
be
like
a
regular
episode.
Badr
9:25
You
thought
it
was
just
gonna
be
a
regular
episode,
I
think.
You
know,
how
long
have
you
been
with
us?
Like
any
chance
for
me
to
pat
myself
on
the
back.
I'm
gonna
make
it
special.
There
it
is.
We
got
a
photographer
here
with
us
today
just
because.
Yo,
shout
out
to
Tony
Smiley
G,
by
the
way.
How
do
you
say
it?
I
said
I
said
smiley.
You
said
it
real
quick.
Cesar
9:43
He
goes,
shout
out
to
Tony
Smiley.
Badr
9:45
Rob
Refield
that
name.
Swing,
shing,
swing,
shing.
That's
right.
As
you
can
probably
tell
by
now,
we
aren't
the
only
ones
excited
for
today's
milestone.
Uh,
you're
gonna
hear
from
a
lot
of
friends
with
the
show,
past
guests,
and
short
box
alumni
all
throughout
this
episode.
But
first,
we
get
to
talk
about
my
favorite
superhero,
Spider-Man.
And
one
of
the
most
iconic
comic
covers,
if
not
comic
itself,
uh
of
all
time,
Amazing
Spider-Man
number
300.
Now,
this
episode
is
brought
to
you
by
our
sponsor,
Gotham
City
Limit,
Jacksonville's
premier
location
for
comics,
collectibles,
toys,
and
more.
Check
them
out
if
you
live
in
the
area,
or
if
you
ever
find
yourself
in
Jacksonville
looking
for
a
really
awesome
comic
shop.
Uh,
today's
first
half
topic,
which
is
Amazing
Spider-Man
300,
is
specifically
brought
to
you
by
our
short
box
patrons.
We
asked
our
patrons
what
comic
they
wanted
us
to
cover
for
today's
special
occasion,
and
they
let
their
voices
be
heard.
You
asked
for
it.
Literally.
Amazing
Spider-Man,
Amazing
Spider-Man
300
beat
out
Spawn
300
and
Frank
Miller's
300.
I
heard
so
good.
As
you
can
tell,
we
had
a
theme
going
on
by
a
significant
margin.
Ashley,
was
there
one
in
particular
you
were
hoping
would
win
out
of
these
three?
Ashley
10:51
I
was
I
was
rooting.
Badr
10:52
Right
a
bag,
Dad.
Ashley
10:53
I
was
I
was
rooting
for
Frank
Miller's
300.
I
think
that
got
the
least
amount
of
votes.
Oh,
it
was.
Badr
11:00
It
was
it
one
single.
Ashley
11:02
It
was
like
one,
and
it
was
you.
Badr
11:03
It
was
just
a
third.
So
yeah.
Ashley
was
like,
it's
definitely
not
me.
I'm
like,
Ashley,
I
can
download
the
polls.
It
says
Ashley
Laney
Hoy.
Who's
that?
Also,
what
are
you,
beaker
from
the
Muppets?
What
is
this?
That's
a
great
impression.
So
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
thank
our
patrons
for
voting
and
helping
steer
this
ship
and
you
know,
doing
the
work
for
me.
I
love
it.

Cesar
11:50
Thank
you
for
asking,
butter.
Cook
a
batch
of
chili
fries
and
then
take
it
to
a
public
playground.
You
know,
just
really
No?
No,
not
at
all.
Badr
11:58
What
type
of

that
gonna
help
us?
Well,
try
again,
buddy.
Try
it
okay,
okay.
What
else
can
they
do?
Feed
the
homeless.
Well
close?
Actually,
not
even
close.
No
Cuban
for
you
at
all.
Um
I
would
have
taken
leave
a
review
slash
rating
on
Apple
Podcast
or
tell
a
friend
to
subscribe
as
correct
answers.
And
since
you
failed,
I'm
gonna
mute
mute
your
mic
the
whole
time.
Nice,
yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
Yeah,
sorry.
Thank
you.
Sweet.
No
one
can
hear
that.
So
stop
talking.
Sweet.
Uh
but
before
I
go
any
further,
in
the
interest
of
those
listeners
who
haven't
read
this
comic,
Spider-Man
300,
and
might
be
interested
in
reading
it
on
their
own,
might
I
recommend
giving
this
episode
a
pause
and
checking
Comicsology,
the
Marvel
Unlimited
app,
or
services
like
Hoopla
to
read
it
digitally.
Now,
normally
I
would
suggest
our
listeners
check
out
their
local
comic
shops
to
find
a
copy.
But
we
are
talking
about
a
pretty
popular
and
pricey
back
issue.
And
I'll
ask
you
guys
for
your
best
guesses.
Which
I'm
sure
you
can
find
at
Gotham
City
Limits
for
an
affordable
price.
Cesar
12:54
Yeah,
absolutely.
I'm
sure
they
do
payments
just
like
a
car.
Yeah,
tell
them
Christmas
coming
up.
Tell
them
Butter
sent
you.
Badr
13:03
Yeah,
that
ain't
gonna
get
no
hell.
You
might
double
charge
him.
What's
this
VAT
tax?
I
thought
that
was
all
European.
Um
I
want
to
get
everyone's
best
guesses.
Can
can
anyone
tell
me
what
this
particular
um
uh
issue
is
roughly
going
for
online?
Uh
the
closest
guest
wins
a
no
prize.
Ashley
13:18
Do
we
have
a
grading
on
it
or
oh
good?
Cesar
13:22
Okay,
no,
no,
no.
Uh
let's
say
from
let's
say
from
from
mint.
Yeah.
Like
all
the
way
100%
perfect
to
very
fine.
Ashley
13:32
Okay,
so
between
like
a
9.0
and
like
a
9.8.
Cesar
13:35
Sure.
What
does
that
mean,
Ashley?
Ashley
13:38
You
know
what
that
means.
Cesar
13:39
Um
I'm
playing.
But
I
was
like,
I'm
playing
the
part
of
a
dummy
every
episode
I've
been
on.
Guys.
Ashley
13:50
Okay,
so
very
nice
condition.
$300.
Cesar
13:53
Okay.
All
right.
$300.
What
about
you?
$300
for
$300.
Okay.
I'm
going
to
say
I
like
cheap.
Ed
14:00
Oh,
that's
very
clever.
I'm
going
to
go
$299.
I
think
we
do
prices
right.
Oh.
No,
I'm
going
to
say
I
think
like
$250.
I
think.
Badr
14:08
Okay.
Cesar
14:09
$250
is
not
bad.
All
right.
See,
what
about
you?
Actual
retail
value
is.
I'm
going
to
go,
honestly,
I'm
going
to
go
with
um
$170.
Okay.
So
you
said
uh
$250.
Because
it's
not
the
90s
anymore.
Badr
14:22
Okay,
so
according,
I'll
give
you
guys
two
different
prices.
The
CGC
kind
of
copy
and
then
the
non-CGC
version.
So
according
to
comics.go
collect.com,
uh,
copies
of
this
issue,
particular
comic
book,
sold
this
month,
October
2020,
alone
for
um
a
CGC
9.8
sold
for
2.9
thousand,
so
about
$2,900.
I
know.
And
then
and
then
the
price
kind
of
drastically
drops
when
it
comes
to
CGC,
as
you
guys
know.
9.6,
so
only
0.2
lower,
sold
for
about
a
thousand.
Non-CGC
copies
um
sold
on
eBay
like
recently
for
between
450
to
about
mid-500s.
That's
crazy.
Cesar
15:02
Now,
what
about
the
copy
that
my
boy
J
Boog
has
in
his
garage?
Um
that
it's
graded
two.
Uh
silver
bugs
all
eight.
Two
all
the
corners.
Badr
15:13
You
might
you
might
get
two
dead
cockroaches,
um,
uh
74
fish.
Cesar
15:17
That's
affordable
in
this
market.
It's
affordable.
Ed
15:19
That's
crazy.
Ashley
15:20
Wait,
so
did
I
win?
Badr
15:21
Yes.
Yeah,
you
won,
Ashley.
Ashley
15:23
That
was
way
off,
and
I
still
have
to.
Badr
15:25
You
were
you
were
way
closer
than
any
of
us.
Wow.
Yeah.
So
your
prize?
Nothing.
So
per
the
usual.
So
thank
you,
Ashley.
Get
the
people
out
of
there.
Yay!
That's
definitely
actually
more
cheaper
than
those
two
cockroaches.
Cesar
15:42
I'm
noticing
every
time
Ashley
comes
in,
she's
dressing
more
and
more
neutral.
Yeah.
Like
a
communist
just
coming
in
with
a
jumpsuit.
You
know,
like
I'm
just
not
gonna
accessorize
anymore.
Ed
15:54
She
has
a
sultano,
the
short
box.
Can't
handle
it
anymore.
I
don't
get
enough
credit
for
that.
Badr
15:59
Can't
accessorize
anymore.
Ashley
16:01
Can't
handle
the
burns.
Badr
16:02
No.
Um
that
leads
me
to
my
next
question.
Has
anyone
ever
does
anyone
currently
own
or
has
ever
owned
a
copy
of
this
comic?
He's
selling
them
the
shits.
Two
copies.
Ooh,
two.
Cesar
16:12
I
have
two
copies.
So
look
at
Mr.
Privilege
over
here.
Wow.
Nope.
They
don't
get
me
shit.
Do
you
still
currently
own
any
of
them?
I
do.
And
I'm
not
telling
you.
You
know
exactly
where
they
are.
That's
where
I
keep
all
my
comics.
Are
they
9.6
or
above?
Uh
no.
One
of
them
isn't.
The
other
one's
in
pretty
good
condition.
Cool.
I
I
don't
think
I've
ever
owned
a
copy
of
this
one,
but
I
don't
trust
sending
it
out
to
get
graded,
man.
Fuck
no.
Like
I
get
they
get
swapped
out
from
the
city.
You
know
what
I'm
saying?
Like
I
would
send
it
out,
and
then
some
guy
would
be
like,
yeah,
Vogue,
this
is
a
3.1.
I'm
like,
that's
not
what
I
sent
you.
I
have
pictures.
Badr
16:48
I
have
proof.
Yeah.
I
I
have
met
a
few
folks
that
are
have
been
like
that
have
multiple
copies
of
this.
And
the
the
buddy
that
comes
to
mind,
see,
is
Sebastian.
Seabass.
Oh,
of
course.
I
think
when
I
around
the
same
time
I
met
you,
was
the
same
time
I
met
Seabass,
and
of
course
that
was
like
his
prime
fucking
collecting
days.
And
that
was
around
the
same
time
I
was
introduced
to
Tom
McFarlane
Spider-Man
because
that's
all
they
were
looking
for.
Cesar
17:10
She
would
always
pull
out
the
comic,
like,
take
it
for
a
spin.
Like
he
was
like
a
car
salesman.
Like,
because
he
knew,
like,
you
know,
he
knew
we
weren't
gonna
manhandle
it.
He
would
just
be
like,
What
do
you
think,
man?
Take
it
for
a
spin.
I'd
be
like,
what
am
I
supposed
to
do
with
it?
Read
it?
Or
like
I'm
just
gonna
I'm
good.
I
don't
want
to
touch
it.
Badr
17:26
Um
let's
go
ahead
and
dive
into
our
review
of
this
particular
um
issue.
I
want
to
give
a
quick
synopsis.
Once
again,
uh
uh
we
are
reviewing
Amazing
Spider-Man
number
300.
Uh,
it
was
released
in
May
1988.
It
uh
is
the
first
full
appearance
of
Venom.
I
think
the
story
itself
is
titled
Venom.
The
script
is
by
David
McAlini.
Nicely
done.
Thank
you,
sir.
Uh
art
by
Todd
McFarlane.
Ooh,
it'd
be
funny
if
you
messed
up
that
name.
Todd
McFartlan.
Oh,
baby.
Um,
that's
not
my
best
joke.
I
got
I
got
some
more
jokes.
I
probably
was
like,
I
got
some
singers.
Oh.
All
right,
but
the
synopsis.
Uh
Spidey's
old
alien
costume
has
merged
with
reporter
Eddie
Brock,
who
thinks
his
career
was
ruined
by
Spider-Man,
and
the
symbiote
of
the
two,
Venom,
takes
on
the
webslinger.
At
Mary
Jane's
request,
Spidey
returns
to
the
blue
and
red
costume
as
she
now
finds
his
black
duds
way
too
creepy.
This
is
the
last
issue
in
which
Spider-Man
appears
in
the
black
costume.
There
is
a
cameo
by
the
thing
of
the
Fantastic
Floor
and
his
house
slippers
and
uh
almost.
Um
I
also
uh
something
else
I
want
to
mention.
Apparently,
in
the
original
issue,
there's
a
special
Stan
soapbox
in
place
of
the
letters
page,
which
happened
to
be
a
full
page
editorial
by
Stan
Lee
on
the
occasion
of
Spider-Man's
300th
issue.
Um
on
Marvel
Unlimited
app,
of
course,
they
kind
of
get
rid
of
all
the
letters
pages
and
the
ads.
Um
so
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
read
that,
but
that
definitely
kind
of
piqued
um
my
interest.
Uh,
did
anyone
find
out
any
like
interesting
uh
trivia
Easter
eggs
or
anything
like
during
the
research
or
anything?
Ed
18:56
Just
some
Easter
eggs
since
I've
I
read
it
online,
so
you
can
kind
of
like
zoom
in
and
you
know
and
stuff
like
that.
So
I
saw
like
the
the
that
crazy
moving
scene
because
rich
supermodel
can't
hire
some
effing
movers.
Yeah,
um
when
you
got
free
free
99
friends.
Jesus,
yeah,
some
weird
friends.
There's
like
a
Highway
botter
method.
The
biggest
apartment
in
New
York.
You
can't
hire
movers,
but
um,
there
was
a
guy
with
a
Gumby
t-shirt
in
there,
and
there
was
another
guy
that
looked
like
it
was
an
ambush
bug
t-shirt,
which
is
a
very
and
it's
a
DC
character,
which
is
another
deep
cut.
So
that's
a
real
deep
cut.
He's
kind
of
one
of
the
first
kind
of
fourth
uh
what
is
it,
fourth
wall
breaking
characters,
sure.
So
that
was
and
I
don't
know
if
it
was
him
or
one
of
the
the
micronauts,
the
grasshopper
guy,
but
I'm
thinking
it's
ambush
bug,
but
it's
like
half
his
face,
so
just
kind
of
getting
being
able
to
zoom
in
on
like
weird
little
stuff
like
that,
and
like
the
Felix
the
Cat
thing.
Cesar
19:52
I
think
uh
I
think
we
should
also
talk
about
before
we
go
any
further
that
Rick
Parker
did
the
lettering,
Bob
Sharon
did
the
colors,
uh,
Jim
Salakrup
was
the
editor,
and
our
favorite
cigar
chomping
editor
from
the
bullpen,
Tom
DeFalco,
was
the
editor
in
chief
back
in
the
day.
Um
Tom
DeFalco
was
a
name
that
is
no
stranger
to
uh
uh
controversy,
but
also
put
out
some
really
good
ass
shit
during
his
run.
Badr
20:15
Oh
yeah,
absolutely.
Um
I'll
go
ahead
and
add
that
uh
it
was
nice
to
see
Rick
Parker's
name
as
the
letterer.
Right.
Um
for
very
selfish
reasons.
I
got
to
interview
him
for
one
of
our
bonus
episodes.
Um
uh
Camp
Parker,
him,
Rick
Parker,
and
um,
thank
you,
thank
you.
Um
and
uh
it
didn't
dawn
on
me
that
yo,
Rick
Parker
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
lettering,
and
he
even
brought
it
up
in
the
in
the
panel
I
got
to
do
with
him
um
was
that
you
know
he
still
gets
asked
to
sign
that
particular
comic
a
lot.
So
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
like
have
gotten
uh
David's
um
um
uh
signature,
Todd's
signature,
and
also
his
and
I
mean
right
out
the
gate,
you
look
at
the
op
the
credits
for
the
comic
book,
there's
like
little
spider
webs
hanging
from
it.
Cesar
20:53
You
gotta
wonder
if
that's
if
that's
Rick
or
Todd.
But
I
would
I
would
assume
it's
Rick.
Ed
20:57
It's
hand
lettered
because
did
you
see
that
McFarland
found
one
of
the
pages
from
the
book
like
I
think
a
few
months
ago?
Cesar
21:03
No.
Ed
21:03
The
page
where
like
uh
Eddie
Brock
is
going
to
his
like
home
gym.
Cesar
21:08
Sure.
Ed
21:08
And
like
there's
that
transition
panel
walk
through
the
shadow.
But
yeah,
it
has
that
page
with
the
lettering
on
it.
Badr
21:13
Oh,
cool.
So
yeah,
so
it's
oh
that's
badass.
Ed
21:15
Yeah,
so
he
found
that
nice.
Badr
21:17
That's
cool.
I
will
I
will
add
uh
as
far
as
like
trivia
goes,
I
think
this
is
it's
the
first
full
appearance
of
Venom.
It
is
the
um
the
25th
anniversary
of
of
Spider-Man,
and
it's
also
the
first,
well
at
least
the
first
ink
job
by
Todd
McFarland.
Because
prior
to
that,
I
think
the
two
issues
prior,
299
and
298,
he
was
doing
the
artwork,
but
it
was
uh
Bob
McLeod
that
was
doing
the
inking.
And
it
is
such
a
drastic
change.
Ed
21:40
And
his
first
uh
Mary
Jane
with
that
big
luxurious
80s
hair.
Yeah.
Cesar
21:44
Oh,
I
mean,
and
among
other
things.
Oh,
yeah.
This
is
a
comic
book
Jesus
Christ,
but
you
couldn't
help
yourself,
right?
You
couldn't
find
yourself.
Badr
21:53
That's
for
you,
Chris.
Cesar
21:54
Yeah,
there'll
be
plenty
of
that
also
later
on
in
the
uh
in
the
episode,
I'm
assuming,
based
on
some
of
the
Yeah,
right
away
comics.
Absolutely.
But
I
this
comic
also
reminds
me
as
a
journalist
to
never
treat
any
other
fellow
journalists
with
any
kind
of
fucking
shade.
Because
you
never
know
when
they
might
get
an
alien
alien
symbiote
and
just
make
your
life
a
little
bit
more.
Ed
22:16
Of
course.
Of
course,
yeah.
You
were
TMZing.
All
right.
You
were
trying
to
be
TMZ
now
because
he
was
writing
for
the
inquiry.
That's
not
pretty
sweet.
Yeah.
He's
like
writing
for
you
can't
go
wrong.
And
because
there's
a
lot
of
like
said
exposition
in
this.
And
it's
just
like
part
of
the
time,
but
it's
good
if
you
haven't
like
so
dude
reading
this
standalone.
Yeah.
It
makes
sense.
But
just
in
today's
like
2020
eyes,
you
know,
it's
just
like,
man,
they're
really,
he's
really
monitor
shows.
Do
you
know
why
though?
Cesar
22:46
You
know,
Bonner
and
I
were
talking
about
this
before
the
show.
It's
because
there's
so
much
fuckiness
around
the
black
shoe.
The
yeah,
the
symbiote.
Like
so
many
artists
and
writers
had
touched
it,
and
everything
is
weird
and
different,
and
nobody
had
kind
of
really
solidified
like
what
it
does,
where
it
comes
from,
what
are
we
doing
with
it?
Ed
23:04
Because
they
were
making
that
concurrently
with
the
Secret
Wars
stuff.
Right.
So,
and
then
there
was
a
lot
of
backlash
because
people
didn't
want
the
change.
Right.
You
know,
and
then
when
they
did
change,
and
then
Todd
McFarlane
they
were
saying,
I
was
I
heard
an
interview,
not
from
him,
but
he
didn't
like
drawing
the
black
suit.
Huh.
And
uh
any
particular
reason?
Uh
it
didn't
see
they
didn't
really
go
into
it.
They
just
said
that
he
hated
the
black
suit.
He
wanted
to
draw.
I
said,
and
I
don't
know
if
he
was
grandstanding
at
this
point
in
his
career,
but
he's
like,
if
you
want
me
to
do
the
book,
I
could
see
him
doing
this
totally.
It's
like
you
want
me
to
draw
the
book,
I'm
not
drawing
that
black
costume.
Huh.
Ashley
23:36
You
know,
it's
just
so
much
easier.
Ed
23:37
I
was
just
about
to.
I
know.
That's
what
I
was
thinking.
Cesar
23:39
But
you
know
what
though?
It's
like
it's
like
a
white
whale,
like
a
Moby
Dick
thing.
Like,
it's
like,
yo,
I
drew
for
Spider-Man.
And
then
you
know
draw
the
real
Spider-Man.
Exactly.
I
can
see
that
I
can
see
that
in
Todd's
head,
like
somebody
rolling
up
on
him
and
be
like,
bro,
you
drew
like
the
fucking
Batman
Beyond
costume.
You
didn't
draw
the
iconic
fucking.
Ed
23:57
And
did
you
talk
about
a
gatekeeper?
Have
you
heard
about
the
uh
the
rumor
that
Venom
was
originally
planned
to
be
a
woman?
Did
you
guys
hear
that?
No,
I
didn't
know.
Like
she
was
it
was
supposed
to
be
the
story
was
that
it
was
a
couple
and
she
was
pregnant,
and
then
Spider-Man
was
fighting
something,
and
they
and
they
were
like
hailing
a
cab,
and
then
so
Spider-Man
swings
and
he's
fighting
somebody,
and
the
the
cab
driver
gets
distracted
and
runs
the
husband
over,
and
then
she
goes
into
labor
and
the
kid
dies,
so
her
husband
and
kid
dies.
And
then
Symbia,
yeah,
it
was
really
dark.
And
then
I
don't
know
if
it
was
Tom
DeFalco,
it
was
pretty
much
saying
it's
like
some
broad
fighting
Spider-Man.
No
way.
Yes,
okay.
Badr
24:35
I
do
remember
that.
And
I
think
it
just
goes
back
to
what
C
was
saying
to
like
dive
into
the
uh
the
trivia,
the
Easter
eggs,
and
all
the
history
of
the
black
suit
would
be
its
own
episode.
I
know
that's
crazy.
I
I
know
um
like
John,
like
it
you
could
tie
it
to
John
Byrne
because
I
think
he's
he
was
supposed
to
be
Iron
Fist.
Ed
24:49
Yeah,
he
wanted
a
suit
that
because
Iron
Fist
suits
got
cut
off
by
swords
and
shit.
Right.
Badr
24:53
This
was
supposed
to
be
like
a
self-healing
magic
suit.
And
then
um
I
know
that
like
a
a
um
uh
a
Marvel
fanboy
sold
the
idea
of
the
black
suit
to
uh
shooter,
like
220
bucks,
and
then
Ron
Friends
was
gonna
use
it,
but
he
got
the
young
man
was
Glen
Danzig.
So
it
it's
definitely
been
passed
around
as
far
as
like
who
did
what
with
what
aspect.
Like
you
could
literally
break
it
down
by
by
different
aspects.
Um
but
but
I
wanted
to
ask,
Ashley,
because
now
uh
you
know
we
have
this
tradition
where
we've
we
we'll
let
you
lead
in
answer
to
this
pivotal
question.
Oh
um,
Ashley,
did
this
comic
book
respect
your
time?
Ashley
25:27
Oh
it
it
did.
I've
never
read
Old
Spider-Man
before.
Ed
25:30
But
this
looks
really
you
haven't
watched
Batman
the
animated
series
or
read
Spider-Man.
Ashley
25:34
No,
I've
read
I've
read
newer
Spider-Man,
like
last
like
10
years,
Spider-Man.
But
no,
I
I
liked
it
a
lot.
Um
I
didn't
realize
Peter
Parker
was
so
muscley.
Ed
25:42
He
is
like
shirtless,
yeah,
dude.
There's
something
for
the
ladies
in
this
episode,
for
sure.
For
sure.
That
guy's
he's
like,
and
he's
not
like
even
slender,
he's
like
pretty
muscular.
Cesar
25:56
There's
something
for
everybody
in
here,
guys.
Yeah,
like
you
know
what's
funny
you
mentioned
that,
like,
and
you
and
I
know
you
mentioned
like
MJ
like
kind
of
being
drawn
as
like
a
sex
pot,
and
this
is
like
oh
yeah,
complete
issue.
So
I
I
had
written
down
something,
and
I
don't
know
if
maybe
this
will
resonate
with
you
guys.
Um
this
is
kind
of
like
back
when
Marvel
sort
of
had
street
cred,
right?
This
is
actually
kind
of
an
edgy
issue
because
you
gotta
still
like
the
time
for
the
time,
kids
were
reading
this
shit.
Ed
26:21
Yeah.
Um,
and
I
thought
women
just
walked
around
in
negligents
until
I
was
an
adult.
It's
like,
oh,
this
is
this
is
pretty
sweet.
It
doesn't
look
comfortable,
but
you
know,
if
they
just
sleep
in
that
stuff.
Ashley
26:32
And
then
when
you
got
sad,
they
just
took
their
shirt
off.
Ed
26:34
Right.
Oh
my
god.
Okay,
hold
on,
hold
on.
Hold
on.
We'll
get
let
me
say
what
I'm
gonna
say.
Cesar
26:40
Well,
what
I
wanted
to
say
was
that
uh
it
seemed
like
Todd
uh
McFarland
and
David
uh
wanted
to
tell
a
crime
story
more
than
anything
else,
not
typically
a
Spider-Man
story,
and
I
don't
think
you
could
do
this
with
any
Spider-Man
bad
guy
except
for
Venom.
Yeah,
because
this
is
more
or
less
um
just
the
idea
and
the
way
that
Venom
harasses
Peter
Parker,
it's
the
same
way
that
Max
Cady
does
in
The
Executioners.
Um
and
it's
and
it
starts
in
this
issue.
And
if
you
aren't
familiar
with
uh
John
D.
McDonald's
crime
novel,
his
Seminole
Stock
Manifesto,
if
you
will,
uh
I
recommend
it
under
the
film
adaptation
of
Cape
Fear,
if
you
guys
have
seen
Cape
Fear.
This
is
essentially
Cape
Fear
the
comic
with
a
uh
a
McFarlane
drawing
uh
MJ
like
a
femme
fatale,
and
Peter
kind
of
in
the
role
of
the
Wodun
It
protagonist,
right?
That's
why
he's
so
jacked.
He's
not
like
the
nebbish
little
skinny
boy
anymore.
He's
a
fucking
Sam
Spade,
like
it
was
Claudia
outside,
and
I
took
the
job.
Like
he's
one
of
those
characters
in
this,
you
know.
The
gritty
streets
of
New
York
is
the
uh
the
backdrop.
So
it's
no
surprise
that
this
is
like
one
of
the
quintessential
Spider-Man
issues,
right?
Yeah.
Badr
27:48
Um
he
still
has
that
kind
of
like
woe
is
me.
For
sure,
for
sure.
See,
that
was
really
well
said.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
I
am
I
thought
you
were
like,
see,
that
was
really
well
said.
Don't
you
ever,
ever
upstage
me
again.
300
episodes
you
haven't
learned.
Well,
I
wanted
to
mention
that
um
I
am
$10,000
in
debt
to
Ben
at
Gotham,
and
he
said
he
would
uh
break
my
legs
if
I
don't
play
this
real
quick.
Skit
28:14
Yeah,
so
this
is
where
I
pick
up
my
comments.
Excuse
me,
might
I
remind
you
the
rules
here
at
No
Touch
Collectibles?
No
loitering,
no
friendship,
no
touching
the
merchandise
of
their
gloves,
and
no
free
bags
and
boards.
Badr
28:26
Yeah,
man,
I
know
the
shop
sucks.
I
don't
I
don't
even
know
why
I
shop
here.
Skit
28:29
Well,
we
could
go
to
Jacksonville
Premier
Location
for
comic
books,
collectibles,
toys,
and
um,
you
okay?
You
got
10%
of
comic
books,
20%
of
fact
covers,
10%
of
figures
every
fact
is
practically
criminal.
Cesar
28:53
And
that's
why
Golden
City
Limit
is
a
place
of
people.
Badr
28:58
How
many
times
have
you
watched
the
Batman
trilogy?
I'm
ashamed
to
say.
Well,
I
mean
they're
not
bad.
Skit
29:03
One
time
for
every
time
the
Joker
has
taken
the
city
hostage.
Badr
29:07
Are
you
done
with
that?
Skit
29:09
Yeah.
I'm
done.
Badr
29:10
Well,
let's
just
go
take
our
business
there.
Skit
29:13
Golden
City
Limit.
It's
the
comic
book
shop,
Jack
deserved.
Badr
29:16
But
not
the
one.
Alright,
alright.
I
get
it.
It's
a
great
shop.
Let's
just
go.
Okay,
and
we're
back.
Ed,
let
me
go
to
you
real
quick.
What
is
your
familiarity
with
the
story?
I
I'm
assuming
you
you've
read
it
before,
and
this
is
what,
probably
your
maybe
second,
third
time
reading
it.
Ed
29:32
It's
been
a
while
because
I
think
I
didn't
really
read
any
of
the
McFarlane
stuff
until
he
had
his
own
series.
You
know,
this
is
I
wasn't
really
reading,
you
know,
I
was,
you
know,
I
wasn't
really
reading,
especially,
well,
damn,
especially
back
then,
but
I
think
I
may
have
read
it,
but
it's
it
never
really
I
was
never
really
like
a
Venom
fan,
you
know.
So
I
never
it
was
nothing
I
really
seeked
out.
I
seeked
out
more
of
the
Todd
McFarlane
solo
stuff.
So
I
honestly
don't
remember
reading
this
until
recently.
Okay.
So
it's
like
so
and
then
like
I
said,
it's
much
easier
to
do
now.
Just
on
you
know,
can
find
it
online.
Badr
30:08
But
yeah.
Ashley,
I
know
that
uh
I
think
a
few
episodes
ago,
one
of
the
most
blasphemous
things
you
said
was
that
uh
was
that
you
were
not
um
you
were
not
a
fan
of
Spider-Man
per
se
because
you
had
just
never
you
know
cared
to
to
get
into
the
character.
This
is
your
first
time
reading
this
this
issue
and
and
and
Venom's
origin,
period,
right?
Ashley
30:28
Yeah,
yeah,
it
was.
Badr
30:29
And
I
guess
what
what
was
the
good,
the
bad,
and
the
ugly
for
you?
Ashley
30:32
It
was
just
so
like
dramatic
and
like
like
soap
operay,
and
I
guess
that's
how
like
the
old
comics
are.
Um
and
the
way
that
it
was
drawn,
just
like
her
being
like
the
supermodel
with
like
just
her
hair
and
her
eyes,
and
it's
definitely
different
than
what
I'm
used
to,
but
it
was
it
was
fun.
I
mean,
I
would
go
back
and
read
these
just
for
the
fun
of
it.
Ed
30:51
Yeah,
and
it's
like
this
is
like
the
beginning
of
McFarland's
style,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
what's
coming
up,
you
know.
Cesar
30:57
This
is
straight
out
of
an
actual
crime
pulp
story,
which
is
where
you
get
all
these
elements.
Like
you'll
notice
in
the
beginning
of
the
comic,
like
MJ
is
dressed
like
a
femme
fatale
would
be
in
one
of
these
stories
that
were
Come
on
in,
honey.
And
like
there's
the
private
investigator
who's
like
exactly,
exactly.
The
rain
was
coming
down
like
absolutely
and
then
at
the
end,
though,
when
the
story
is
you
know
semi-resolved,
um,
you'll
notice
she's
dressed
a
little
more
conservatively
because
she
no
longer
fits
that
role
in
the
story
anymore.
There's
resolution,
and
uh
Spider-Man
is
not
like
jacked
anymore.
You
don't
see
him
taking
his
shirt
off
anything.
Um
he's
back
to
his
traditional
costume,
it's
old
fashioned.
Like
there's
the
resolution
of
the
mystery,
right?
Everything
is
back
in
order.
This
darkness
that
was
introduced
into
the
story
is
now
thrown
away,
and
we're
we're
back,
baby.
It's
Spider-Man,
he's
you
know,
Peter
Parker.
I
like
you
remember
him.
Exactly,
exactly.
And
like
I
said,
only
Venom
could
you
do
this
with.
And
that's
why
I
think
a
lot
of
the
movies
where
they
try
to
shoehorn
Venom
in,
they
don't
get
it
right
because
they're
not
doing
the
right
story.
They
need
to
do
a
Cape
Fear
type
story
where
like
part
of
what
makes
Venom
scary
is
that
it's
not
the
ah,
I
got
teeth,
I
punch
you
now.
It's
the
I'm
I'm
just
hey
buddy,
what's
up?
I'm
not
doing
anything
illegal,
yeah,
but
I'm
harassing
you.
Well,
like,
get
away
from
me.
What
am
I
doing
wrong?
Go
ahead,
go
tell
the
cops,
go
tell
them,
tell
them
I'm
doing
something
wrong.
And
then
he
then
he
morphs
into
a
fucking
cop
uniform.
He's
like,
I'm
everywhere,
and
then
walks
away.
Like,
brilliant.
So
I
don't
know.
I
I
I
really
like
this
issue
a
whole
lot.
Um
it's
it's
it's
crazy
how
self-contained
it
is,
considering
it's
a
Marvel
story,
right?
Like
they
could
have
just
been
like
left
at
a
cliffhanger,
but
they
didn't,
like
they
wrapped
it
up.
Badr
32:42
You've
almost
kind
of
got
to
look
at
this
as
part
of
a
larger
uh
I
mean,
literally
a
part
of
a
larger
saga,
the
saga
of
the
symbio
uh
costume.
Right.
I
think
it
stands
out.
I'm
sorry,
I
think
it
stands
alone
on
its
own
as
a
single
issue.
I
mean
it's
a
300th
issue.
Ed
32:56
And
that's
why
I
think
the
exposition
works
in
this
issue.
Right.
It's
like
who's
Eddie
Brock?
You
know,
even
though
it's
kind
of
awkward,
like
in
the
middle
of
a
fight
scene,
he
just
moved
on.
Big
time,
big
time.
That
was
probably
my
my
guns.
Badr
33:07
Yeah,
I
think
that
was
my
biggest
gripe
was
overtelling
not
showing.
I
mean,
they
could
have
easily
just
shown
some
flashback
panels.
Cesar
33:15
But
let's
also
remember
in
this
comic,
but
he
murders
a
cop.
Yeah.
Venom
actually,
like
how
many
times-year-old-faced
cop.
Can
you
think
really
weird-looking?
How
many
times
can
you
remember
where
a
Spider-Man
bad
guy
straight
up
murks
a
just
kills
somebody
in
a
panel,
and
you're
looking
at
it
like
he
died.
Like
and
Venom's
not-silling.
Ed
33:37
No,
yeah,
but
you're
like,
Holy
shit,
he
killed
somebody.
Like
he's
just
like
uh,
you
know,
uh
needed
to
have
them.
And
the
symbiote's
very
theatrical,
wanting
to
plot
his
death
at
the
church
that
he
needed
him.
Badr
33:48
And
and
what's
cool
is
that
I
think
I
think
sometimes
we
we
forget
Catholics,
man.
Ed
33:53
I
think
the
symbiote's
Catholic.
Badr
33:55
I
think
it's
overlooked.
That
symbio
ends
up
um
and
that's
what
I'm
saying
is
if
you
if
you
caught
if
you
read
all
the
previous
issues
that
lead
up
to
this,
like
Secret
Wars
8,
where
he,
you
know,
Spider-Man
gets
that
first
black
costume.
I
think
um
Amazing
Spider-Man
252
is
the
first
appearance
of
him
in
that
full
costume
in
the
full
series.
And
then
there's
a
bunch
of
issues
afterwards,
like
258
is
where
he
um
uh
separates
himself
from
the
costume
after
learning
um,
oh,
it's
it's
alive,
it's
it's
sentient.
This
is
actually
alive?
Ed
34:22
Yeah,
it's
weird
that
he
was
surprised
that
it's
a
living
thing.
Badr
34:25
Yeah,
but
it's
like
Wayne
Campbell's
girlfriend
from
Wayne's
World,
like
his
ex,
you
know.
But
like
I
said,
I
think
this
issue
stands.
This
is
like
two
Jilts
exes
teaming
up
to
go
after
him.
Ed
34:36
That
enhances
how
creepy
this
is
because
you've
already
that's
how
he
finds
out
he's
Peter
Parker
is
through
the
symbiote,
right?
Yeah,
absorb.
Okay.
You
know,
if
you
don't
play
your
cards
right,
Wayne,
you're
gonna
lose
me.
Badr
34:46
Psycho.
But
there's
a
lot
of
pieces
to
this
prior
to
three.
I
think
300
is
is
the
cake
topper.
Um,
but
I
think
you
really
get
a
full
story,
and
you
really
get
to
appreciate
Eddie
Brock
making
his
appearance
if
you
followed
um
Amazing
Spider-Man
up
to
that
time.
I
mean,
um,
there
was
even
some
cameos
in
like
Web
of
Spider-Man
number
one
with
that
iconic
Charles
Vest
cover.
Talk
dirty
to
me.
Ed
35:10
Or
the
handle
talk
dirty
to
me.
The
handle
that's
Charles
Vest.
Badr
35:13
Yeah,
well,
yeah,
there's
a
bunch
of
um
uh
small
off-panel
cameos
where
it's
Eddie
Brock,
clearly
Venom,
pushing
Spider-Man
and
just
fucking
with
him
like
the
whole
time.
Cesar
35:22
Shout
out
to
Charles
Vest.
Badr
35:24
Yo,
big
time.
Like
Web
of
Spider-Man
number
one
is
all
about
him
uh
finally,
I
think,
defeating
the
uh
um
he
uses
uh
Reed
Richards
Sonic
gun,
they
they
encapsulate
it,
and
then
later
on
issues,
he's
just
web
swing
along
the
way,
and
you
know,
he's
getting
shoved.
He's
at
a
train
station
at
Speeder
Parker.
Someone
shoves
him
and
he
doesn't
know
who
it
is.
Yeah,
and
then
um
you
start
seeing
like
they
start
slowly
revealing,
like
I
think
in
298,
you
get
you
know,
um,
there's
uh
uh
one
page
where
it's
like
Eddie
Brock
slamming
his
fist
a
few
times,
and
every
panel
is
the
symbiote
slowly
covering
it.
Yeah,
and
then
in
298,
you
get
kind
of
like
that
full
kind
of
page
appearance,
and
then
300
you
get
the
backstory
and
all
that.
So
300
to
me,
like
I
said,
for
for
a
big
annual
kind
of
issue,
it
it
works,
it's
good,
but
I
think
you've
got
to
um
you've
got
to
have
read
like
you
have
to
account
for
those
other
lead
ups
to
really
get
that
full
impact
and
that
full
story
and
really
understand,
like,
damn,
yeah,
it
only
enhances
how
creepy
and
the
tone
that
and
even
just
the
backstory
behind
the
scenes
about
the
black,
the
controversy
behind
just
having
the
black
suit,
right?
Ed
36:29
You
know,
and
then
it's
like
it's
and
you
were
talking
earlier
about
him
just
being
like
a
mirror
to
him.
And
then
they
just
I
don't
know,
did
the
last
hunt
was
before
this,
right?
Craven's
last
hunt,
yeah,
because
he
was
still
on
the
black
suit.
Yeah,
so
he's
using
the
black
suit,
kind
of
imitating
him.
Yeah,
so
it's
they
didn't
quite
mirror
that.
Cesar
36:47
I
was
about
to
say
that
this
is
the
exact
same
thing,
right?
So
like
I've
had
a
conversation
with
one
of
my
best
friends
about
superheroes
where
like
you
go
into
the
arch
enemy
and
the
antithesis,
and
they're
two
different
things,
right?
So
like
Batman's
arch
enemy
is
the
Joker,
but
his
antithesis
is
Bane,
right?
Because
they're
both
kind
of
the
same
except
just
a
little
shove
into
another
direction,
and
they're
essentially
looking
at
each
other
from
opposite
ends
of
the
mirror,
right?
So
you
have
Spider-Man's
arch
enemy
would
probably
be
the
Green
Goblin,
right?
Like
Norman
Osborne
has
made
his
life
a
living
hell
on
the
left
at
the
level
of
the
Joker
for
Batman.
Ed
37:23
That's
pretty
cool.
That's
true.
It's
true.
Help
him
move.
Cesar
37:26
Um,
but
the
antithesis
is
is
venom.
Like
Spider-Man's
antithesis
is
venom,
like
they're
both
journalists,
yeah.
They
both
are
like
essentially
like
Spider-Man
was
a
nerd,
but
Eddie
Brock
was
like
a
bro
dude
who
worked
at
like
TMZ,
right?
Ed
37:43
His
house
is
just
a
gym.
Cesar
37:45
Yes,
there's
no
other
furnace.
So
like
they
have
the
same
costume,
they
look
the
same.
Spider-Man
doesn't
have
a
mouth
because
you
know,
thematically,
anybody
could
be
Spider-Man.
As
soon
as
you
start
personalizing
it,
then
you
take
the
ability
of
the
hero
to
be
passed
from
anybody,
right?
Like
Eddie
Brock
specifically
has
a
mouth
because
it's
like
nah
no
one
else
can
be
me
being.
Ed
38:04
This
is
a
creepier
mouth
than
I
think
even
the
teeth.
Yeah,
I
like
I
like
the
regular
human
teeth
better.
Cesar
38:08
Yes.
Ed
38:08
I
don't
want
like
sharp
teeth,
like
ugh,
scary.
Yeah,
the
for
the
tongue
and
the
sharp
teeth
and
stuff
like
that.
Badr
38:13
Even
like
uh
yeah,
that's
that's
a
good
point.
Because
I
feel
like
the
tongue
and
the
teeth
that
later
became
popular.
Exactly.
And
it's
almost
like
too
easy.
It's
like
okay,
yeah.
It's
on
the
nose,
is
what
it
is.
Cesar
38:23
Like
it's
real
on
the
nose.
Ed
38:25
He's
a
total
like
90s
character,
though.
For
sure.
The
edgy,
because
they
he
basically
became
so
popular
they
made
him
into
like
an
anti-hero.
Cesar
38:33
Right,
right.
But
vigilant.
There's
no
redeeming
quality.
No,
like
he
has
no
redeeming
quality,
which
works
so
well,
and
it's
something
you
really
kind
of
don't
see
in
a
Spider-Man
bad
guy.
I
think
they
messed
up
making
him
uh
Venom
Lethal
Protector
later
on,
where
it
was
like,
oh
man,
like
Yeah,
it's
just
one
of
those
things
that's
like
they
come
too
popular.
Ed
38:51
It's
almost
kind
of
like
the
Punisher
where
it
became
too
popular
that
he's
definitely
gotta
change,
we
gotta
turn
him,
you
know.
Cesar
38:56
He
could
have
been
a
saber
tooth,
you
know,
like
the
equivalent
to
sabretooth
as
far
as
Wolverine
is
concerned.
Badr
39:00
But
Ashley,
is
there
a
uh
particular
panel
page
or
moment
in
this
comic
book
that
maybe
resonated
with
you
personally
or
just
visually
was
striking
for
you?
Ashley
39:09
I
just
the
way
that
it
started
out,
like
I
was
not
expecting
that.
Just
like
her
and
just
in
the
corner,
just
like
terrified
looking.
Like
I
really
did
not
think
that
the
comic
was
gonna
start
out
like
that.
And
it
kind
of
set
the
mood.
So
that
was
like
that
one,
just
the
first
thing
you
look
at,
you're
like,
oh
god,
what
am
I
in
for?
Um
and
then
the
one
panel
where
he's
uh
like
smothering
the
police
officer
with
like
the
symbiote,
and
he's
got
like
that
super
arched,
like
it
looks
like
he
snapped
a
spine,
very
dynamic
like
super
dynamic
pose.
Um
those
two,
definitely.
Cesar
39:44
Damn,
oh
my
god.
It's
like
a
90s
like
crime
drama,
which
by
the
way,
guys,
Lawner,
SPU.
If
you
aren't
on
a
hop
on
that
shit
becomes
before
it
comes
mainstream,
all
right.
Badr
39:56
Um
so
it's
it's
not
breaking
news
that
I
think
we're
all
fans
uh
of
the
Todd
Father.
Hell,
I
mean,
we
dedicated
a
whole
episode
to
him
back
in
episode
255.
Thank
you,
Butter.
I
was
about
to
ask
what
episode
that
was.
Uh
he
was
the
seventh
artist
spotlight
episode
we
done
we
did
following
Bernie
Wrightson.
Uh
but
I
wanted
to
know
what
what
exactly
remind
our
listeners
who
might
have
not
heard
that
Artist
Spotlight,
um,
and
Ed,
I'll
look
to
you
for
this
one.
What
exactly
is
it
about
Todd
McFarland's
style
or
body
of
work?
When's
your
admiration
for
him?
Ed
40:22
It's
I
think
he
transcends
his
work,
I
think.
Just
just
the
the
figure
he's
become,
just
because
he
basically
was
uh
you
know,
started
as
a
hot
shot
artist,
was
super
successful,
could
have
just
stayed
at
Marvel
his
whole
career.
He
could
have
been
a
lifer
at
Marvel,
but
he
you
know,
he
just
basically
he's
just
just
his
looking
at
you,
Junior
Jr.
Yeah,
just
he's
just
so
like
he
basically
left
a
really
well-paying
gig.
He
was
already
a
millionaire,
you
know,
drawing
Spider-Man
because
that's
when
comics
were
on
fire.
And
then
he
took
the
biggest
gamble,
basically
drafted
and
he
it's
funny
because
he'll
say,
I
conned,
I
mean,
got
these
other
artists
to
basically
you
know
defect
for
Marvel
to
start
this
company.
And
sure,
he's
just
more
than
an
artist,
you
know.
He's
like
one
of
those
guys
that
just
transcends.
He's
got
a
cult
of
personality,
he's
and
he's
like
he's
a
character,
and
he's
always
in
character,
and
he's
and
you
know,
like
him
or
not,
he's
very,
you
know,
like
the
people
love
him
or
hate
him.
Cesar
41:17
He
was
born
to
be
the
face
of
a
company.
Yeah,
can
I
get
his
money?
Ed
41:20
He
basically
started
as
an
artist
and
basically
created
an
empire
created
and
is
still
running
like
the
most
successful
independent
you
know
publisher
out
there.
Cesar
41:29
Big
Ups
Canada.
Ed
41:30
Yeah,
so
it's
he's
and
I've
always
liked
his
style.
I
think
I
first
saw
his
work,
it
was
it
might
have
been
the
Wolverine
Hulk
that
he
did.
Cesar
41:39
Right.
Ed
41:39
And
it's
just
like
his
stuff
was
so
different.
Cesar
41:42
It
was
John
Byrne
turned
up
to
11.
Ed
41:44
Yeah,
and
they
were
going
away
from
that
house
style.
You
know,
you
could
see
like,
okay,
they're
letting
artists
be
more,
you
know,
show
more
characteristics.
For
sure.
For
sure,
yeah.
Cesar
41:52
Like
it's
it's
nice.
Actually,
being
our
resident
image
like
aficionado.
Badr
41:57
Could
you
yeah,
I
was
right?
Cesar
41:58
Like,
could
you
see
some
of
like
the
things
yet
to
come
in
this
comic
regarding
Todd
McFarland's
work
at
Image,
or
even
some
of
the
artists
now
are
doing
stuff
at
Image.
Ashley
42:10
Yeah,
I
guess
I
could.
You
know
what's
funny
is
like
I
for
some
reason
I've
like
never
been
a
fan
of
him,
but
like
this
this
ris
makes
me
respect
him
um
and
like
seeing
the
work
that
he's
done.
But
yeah,
I
think
he
was
he
was
gonna
start
Image.
You
know
what
I
mean?
It
just
makes
sense,
like
turn,
you
know,
start
this
huge
thing.
Badr
42:28
I
I
will
go
ahead
and
and
say
that
you
know,
with
this
being
I
I
think
I
you
know,
I
mentioned
it
that
this
was
his
first
issue
that
he
was
inking
his
own
stuff,
at
least
on
Spider-Man.
The
best
is
yet
to
come.
I
think
uh
because
I
kind
of
fast
forward
it
because
he
stays
on
for
Amazing
Spider-Man
for
a
few
more
issues.
Hell
he
stays
on
up
until
um
well
after
Venom
returns,
because
Venom
returns
back
in
Amazing
Spider-Man
uh
in
315.
There's
that
three
uh
three-part
version.
Cesar
42:51
Such
a
good
story.
Do
we
always
talk
about
it?
Badr
42:53
Maybe
even
better
than
this,
to
be
honest,
because
it's
such
a
good
standalone.
That's
where
he
harasses
you
know,
Aunt
May.
He
challenges
Spider-Man.
Within
the
bounds
of
the
law.
Yes,
he
challenges
Spider-Man
uh
uh
to
a
to
a
duel
on
that
island.
It
is
so
good.
I
think
it's
315
through
318.
Cesar
43:05
And
the
Fantastic
Four
comeback.
Badr
43:07
Yeah.
Um,
but
his
art
gets
so
much
better,
and
I
know
he
stays
inking
his
stuff
well
into
those.
Right.
So
um,
and
that
was
my
my
not
even
really
a
gripe
to
be
honest.
It's
really
cool
to
see,
okay,
this
is
kind
of
rough
because
there
is
a
panel
that
that
made
me
kind
of
double
take,
and
it
was
um
Yeah,
there's
some
strange
stuff
going
on.
Yeah,
well,
in
particular,
it's
uh
this
one
right
here.
Like
I
said,
if
you've
got
the
Marvel
app
um
uh
opened
up,
it's
page
25.
But
the
way
he
draws,
like
it's
it's
really
heavy-handed
inking,
you
know.
It's
like,
damn,
that's
that
don't
even
look
like
inking.
It
looks
like
he's
half
black.
But
it
it
it's
cool
too
if
you
were
to
follow
along,
he
gets
so
much
better
at
his
inking
and
he
really
refines.
Ed
43:49
No,
it
is.
If
you
see,
like,
and
you
can
even
just
for
another
artist,
go
back
and
look
at
like
the
first
couple
issues
of
Savage
Dragon,
where
Eric
Larson
inks,
sure,
it's
horrifying
looking,
you
know,
compared
to.
What
he
can
do.
This
looks
like
he
just
took
a
Sharpie
and
just
inked
it.
Cesar
44:03
That's
but
that's
a
testament
to
the
kind
of
story
they're
telling,
too,
Butter.
Is
that
this
is
a
noir,
this
is
Spider-Man
Noir
essentially
before
it
came
out.
Ed
44:11
There's
some
like
my
some
one
of
my
gripes
artistically.
Todd
McFarlane
can
draw
buildings,
right?
Would
you
agree?
Okay.
But
there's
some
panels.
Oh,
I
know
what
you're
gonna
say.
And
I
don't
know
if
it
just
pops
out
more
because
I
read
it
online.
No,
I
know.
Yeah,
I'm
about
to
say
the
same.
So
it's
like
there's
like
these
photocopied
things
of
the
city,
especially
in
that
last
page.
If
that
last
page
was
all
hand-drawn,
damn
it.
Beautiful.
Brilliant.
But
like
you
could
tell,
like
it's
like,
damn,
it
could
be
another
time
this.
Yeah,
but
it's
weird
because
there's
panels
where
he
is
drawing
buildings
in
perspective,
but
then
they
photocopy
this
and
it's
like
and
with
his
style,
it
that
I
mean,
I
don't
photo
that's
a
common
thing
in
comics,
right?
But
it
doesn't
fit
his
style.
If
it
was
like
a
David
Ajah,
you
know,
Hawkeye,
that
fits.
You
can
photocopy
the
backgrounds,
but
with
someone
as
dynamic
as
an
artist
as
him,
it's
like
it
just
it's
it's
kind
of
jarring,
and
it
probably
on
newsprint
it
doesn't
pop
out
as
much,
you
know,
if
it
was
reading
the
original
comic.
But
in
the
in
the
uh
reading
it
online
and
being
able
to
kind
of
zoom
in,
and
it's
just
like
it's
a
good
thing.
Cesar
45:13
I
have
I
have
a
strange
I
have
a
hypothesis
about
that.
Tom
DeFalco
was
the
editor
in
chief
at
the
time,
and
um
no
disrespect
to
him
because
like
I
said,
I
remember
reading
Spider-Man
and
other
Marvel
titles
as
a
kid
and
kind
of
looking
not
looking
up
to,
but
like
he
was
a
familiar
name
when
you're
gonna
be
like,
You
saw
his
name
on
the
front
of
everybody.
Yeah,
the
bullpen.
Um
but
the
idea
is
that
Tom
DeFalco
was
notorious
for
like
deadline
issues.
Yeah.
Deadline
issues
were
a
big
deal,
and
it's
a
kind
of
like
what
he
was
like,
like
they're
like,
yo,
you
never
make
fucking
deadline.
McFarlane
can
be
slow.
And
and
the
idea
was
like,
well,
you
guys
keep
changing
the
production
schedules,
is
what
he
would
say.
Yeah.
So
it
could
be
that
the
release
date
for
this
may
have
got
bumped
up
to
where
maybe
if
Todd
McFarlane
really
wanted
to
noodle
and
create
a
cityscape.
Ed
46:02
And
he
did
draw
the
two
previous
issues.
Right.
Cesar
46:04
So
they
they
could
have
been
like
And
he's
inking
too.
Right.
Like,
hey,
yo,
chop
chop,
buddy.
Like,
this
shit's
due
tomorrow.
What?
Uh
are
you
fucking
kidding
me?
I
still
got
a
whole
city
to
draw.
Ed
46:13
And
I'm
not,
this
is
not
a
lot
of
it.
No,
it's
stuck
out.
No,
it's
stuck
out.
It's
just
so
it's
kind
of
jarring,
especially
you're
reading
it
digitally.
It's
like
right.
Badr
46:20
You
could
tell
it's
jarring.
Ed
46:21
Yeah.
Badr
46:21
One
of
my
favorite
things
about
aspects
about
early
uh
Venom
and
Ur
Eddie
Brock
is
that
they
really
played
into
how
thick
his
eyebrows
were.
One,
his
broke
his
already
broken
psyche
ego.
I
mean,
he
even
says,
you
know,
I
was
on
basically
on
the
point
of
like
depression
and
then
kill
himself.
Cesar
46:39
And
he
knew
it
was
a
mortal
sin
as
a
Catholic.
He
was
still
going
to
do
it.
Badr
46:42
I
love
when
they
play
around
with
allowing
him
to
change
his
costume.
Because
one
of
my
favorite
panels
are
just
kind
of
scenes
in
this
whole
book
is
when
Spider-Man
is
tied
to
a
giant
church
church
belly.
Oh,
yeah.
Ed
46:54
Yeah,
and
it's
like
it's
So
that
is
the
Venom
suit.
It
was
kind
of
confusing
at
first.
Cesar
46:58
And
it's
interesting
because
like
a
priest's
cassock
is
black
and
white,
and
Venom's
costume
is
black
and
white.
Ed
47:04
And
what
a
weird
thought
of
Nicolas
Cage
and
face
off.
It's
grabbing
that
girl's
ass
in
the
choir.
Honestly,
though,
it's
such
a
dark.
Cesar
47:12
Dude,
how
it's
such
a
dark
like
pull
from
like
something
a
villain
would
do.
Even
a
fucking
Edgar
Allen
Poe
villain
would
do.
It's
so
Poe
in
nature
to
have
like
very
theatrical.
Yeah,
very
dramatic
sort
of
revenge,
like
the
cask
of
a
month.
Badr
47:25
We
can't
just
kill
him.
Yeah.
And
then
to
get
smarter,
you
know,
absolutely
get
like,
you
know,
absolutely
crushed
by
this
bell.
Cesar
47:32
Yo,
don't
ever
make
an
artist
mad,
ever.
Badr
47:35
Ever.
Actually,
we're
good,
right?
And
I'm
good.
I
got
pictures
of
Rufio
on
the
way.
Don't
worry.
And
I'm
probably
giving
this
way
too
much
props,
but
I
love
the
way
Spider-Man
out
thinks,
you
know,
the
situation
of
like,
let
me
use
the
momentum
of
the
swinging
uh
bell
to
break
free
of
that.
Cesar
47:51
That's
something
that
the
cartoon
and
subsequent
things
afterwards
do
better,
where
like
they
use
the
church
bell
gongs,
the
sound
of
that,
to
drive
the
symbiote
crazy,
where
he's
like,
ah,
it
hurts
so
much.
Ed
48:04
You
know,
like
what
did
you
think
about
this?
Like
here
we
go.
The
right
was
the
writer
like
an
amateur
photographer.
Dude,
like,
hey
Mary
Jane,
I
gotta
get
my
SLR,
babe.
I'll
come
back.
Standard
Linux.
And
they
and
they
put
the
little
like
what
it's
good
for.
You
know
what's
funny?
You
just
think
I'm
getting
my
camera?
I
like
what
and
I
only
got
36
exposures,
and
uh
I
don't
know
if
I
can
do
this.
Like,
what
the
f
bro,
we
get
it.
You'd
know
how
to
use
a
camera.
Like,
you'd
figure
it
looks
like
that.
Like,
okay,
so
that's
Tony.
Does
he
do
that?
Since
we're
talking,
hold
on.
Cesar
48:36
Since
we're
talking,
since
we're
talking,
I
think
I
think
something
needs
to
be
addressed.
There
is
a
penis
joke
in
this
comic.
Ed
48:44
Oh
boy.
After
the
Austin
Powers
thing.
You're
a
tiger
baby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sexy.
Cesar
48:49
After
the
fucking
fucking
to
take
off
her
shirt.
Yeah.
There's
a
there's
a
box
bubble
that
says
slowly
Peter's
spirits
begin
to
rise.
There's
and
I
and
I
read
that
and
I
was
like,
she's
just
right.
That's
a
daddy
as
dad
joke.
Yeah.
Badr
49:10
I
was
like,
oh
man,
there
was.
Ed
49:12
Can
they
say
that?
Well,
it's
innuendo,
but
you
know
what?
Tommy
broke.
Shout
out
to
my
boy
Tom.
When
Mary
Jane
wakes
up
and
just
lingerie.
I'd
like
to.
It's
like,
I
already
know
what
I
want
for
breakfast.
It's
like,
oh
my
god.
I
was
like,
Peter,
calm
down.
I
mean,
his
name's
Peter.
What
do
you
want?
Yes.
It's
like,
oh,
I'm
so
bummed.
I
can't
take
pictures
of
pretty
ladies.
How
about
something
for
our
private
collection?
Oh.
And
speaking
of
like
dad
jokes,
there's
like
a
lot
of
I
keep
going
back
to
this
moving
scene
of
the
stuff.
Fucking
penis
Parker.
There's
a
lot
of
dad
jeans,
which
I
learned
that
term
from
you,
Ashley.
Back
in
the
day.
A
lot
of
t-shirts
tucked
into
jeans.
Oh,
for
sure.
It
was
the
90s
with
the
belt.
It
was
like
80s.
Cesar
49:58
80.
This
was
like
the
early
90s.
You
get
that
receptive
belt
bucket.
80s
like
hair,
like
and
all
that
like
fashion
shit
left
over.
Ed
50:06
Oh,
so
funny.
It
wasn't
going
anywhere.
And
I
know
like
that's
part
of
McFarlane's
he
wanted
to
update
the
look
of
the
character,
but
sometimes
that
really
dates
the
looks
of
the
characters
too.
Badr
50:15
Sure,
sure.
See,
I
had
a
question
for
you
because
you
were
one
of
my
favorite
uh
people
to
chat
Spider-Man
with.
Do
you
consider
this
essential
Spider-Man
reading?
And
if
not,
where
does
it
stand
in
your
pantheon
of
Spider-Man
stories
slash
crossovers?
Cesar
50:28
No,
of
course
it
does.
Of
course
it's
good
Spider-Man
reading.
Is
this
could
should
be
should
it
be
considered
like
something
that
transcends
Spider-Man
or
something
that,
like,
whoa,
if
you're
a
fan,
you
need
to
read
this.
Ed
50:39
It's
a
milestone
issue.
Absolutely.
Cesar
50:41
Absolutely.
Because
it
it
does
something
that
no
no
other
Spider-Man
story
really
does,
and
that's
Spider-Man's
known
for
like
street
level
bad
guys
that
could
aspire
to
world
domination,
but
they
hate
him
so
much
that
their
own
hatred
keeps
them
from
going
beyond
like,
ah,
fuck
you,
Spider-Man.
Yeah,
they
could
they
could
all
team
up
and
then
just
completely
dominate
the
world
if
they
wanted
to.
Doc
Ock
is
smart
enough.
He's
not
less
smarter
than
Doctor
Doom,
you
know,
but
they
fucking
hate
Spider-Man.
And
thematically,
that's
kind
of
the
point
of
Spider-Man.
The
idea
that
there's
all
these
people.
Life
is
never
gonna
give
you
a
fucking
break,
but
you
have
to
like
persevere.
And
there's
always
gonna
be
haters
out
there
that
fucking
try
and
tell
you
like
you
can't
do
that
because
they
themselves
supermodel.
Ed
51:30
That's
pretty
sweet.
At
this
point,
at
this
point,
right?
Like
that's
cute,
Spider-Man.
Cesar
51:34
That's
kind
of
a
oh
shit.
Well,
Ed
just
became
a
Spider-Man
villain
because
he's
a
hater.
Ed
51:38
Venom.
Venom.
You
gotta
go
with
a
fellow
Ed.
No,
I
gotta
hang
with
him.
Gotta
back
him
up.
Badr
51:46
If
I
ever
need
encouragement
or
motivation
for
the
gym,
I
do
think
about
Eddie
Brock's
uh
pumping
iron.
Oh
jump
my
sweat
on
broom.
Cesar
51:53
Dude,
there's
nothing
cooler
than
to
have
a
fucking
symbiote
spot
your
ass
at
the
gym.
Oh
my
god.
You're
doing
like
like
bench
press
is
doing
I
fucking
can't
do
it.
And
like
the
symbiote's
like,
you
got
it,
man.
You
fucking
got
it,
man.
You
can
do
this.
One
more,
man.
Come
on,
one
more.
Badr
52:09
So
I
I
will
admit
that
I
completely
forgot,
or
I
just
did
not
know
at
all,
that
the
name
I
like
how
they
incorporate
the
name
Venom.
Ed
Brock's
like,
I
go
by
venom
because
of
the
venom
I
was
spewing
writing.
Ed
52:20
Venomous
articles.
Badr
52:23
Like,
get
this
corny
shit
out
of
here.
Cesar
52:25
This
is
super
corny.
Um
but
like
it's
also
something
that
makes
sense,
right?
No,
big
time,
big
time.
Like,
what
do
they
say
that?
It
was
kind
of
cool
in
a
way.
What
do
they
say?
Uh
bitterness
is
the
it's
like
bitterness
and
unforgiveness
is
the
poison
that
you
drink
and
expect
other
people
to
get
sick
from.
Yeah.
Right?
Like
that's
that's
the
idea.
Badr
52:43
That's
why
he
exists.
Um,
Ed,
question
for
you.
And
and
I
want
C
to
chime
in
and
Ashley
chime
in
where
you
can.
Uh
who
is
your
favorite
Spider-Man
artist?
Oh
boy.
Yeah,
take
that.
Speechless.
Damn
it.
Bodder
Milligan,
host
of
the
year.
Yeah,
I'll
go
ahead
and
give
some
of
mine.
I'll
give
some
of
mine.
I'll
give
some
of
mine.
300th
episode.
I
know.
I'll
go
ahead
with
some
of
mine
because
I
think
Todd
McFarland
is
definitely
up
there.
I
think
he
his
Spider-Man
is
so
iconic
and
he
made
it
his
own.
I
like
Mark
Bagley
a
lot.
Yo,
Mark
Bagley
is
probably
my
number
one
because
of
my
nostalgia
and
close.
It's
a
really
cool
Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Um
I
will
also
add,
only
because
I
I
was
looking
back
through
the
web
of
Spider-Man
stuff,
Charles
Vest
paints
or
you
know,
draws,
paints,
whatever
it
is,
a
amazing
fine
artist,
turn
comic
book
artist.
Yes,
you
know.
I'll
also
throw
John
Ramita,
both
senior
and
junior.
Bro,
you
can't
pick
like
five
million
of
them.
Pick
one.
Well,
what's
your
favorite?
Mark
Bagley,
but
run
around.
No,
no,
no,
no
runner
up.
Cesar
53:42
Number
one,
because
you're
making
us
pick
number
one.
Ed
53:44
Just
from
give
me
your
uh
top
three.
Badr
53:46
Thanks
for
Mark
Bagley.
Ed
53:47
Charles
Best
is
up
to
the
first
one.
Just
from
running
had
the
most,
I
guess,
impact
on
me
as
a
kid.
I
have
to
say
Todd
McFarland.
I
have
to
say
he's
probably
my
number
one
for
what
I
because
like
I
don't
read
a
ton
of
Spider-Man
stuff.
Cesar
53:57
Okay.
If
I'm
being
completely
honest,
I
would
say
what
I
grew
up
with
was
Mark
Bagley
and
Junior
Jr.
Um
and
I
was
a
huge
Spider-Man
reader.
Like
I
still
have
my
Spider-Man
30th
anniversary
poster
junior
from
the
90s.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Um
and
his
Travinski
run
is
oh
dude.
I
was
about
to
say,
like,
it's
a
shame
that
Junior
Jr.
came
on
at
the
time
of
the
clone
saga,
like
legitimately
penciling
Spider-Man
consistently
during
the
90s.
Which
sucks
because
he
that's
how
people
remember
his.
This
is
a
shit
sandwich
to
draw.
Right?
Ed
54:32
There
you
go.
Cesar
54:32
You
know
what
I'm
saying?
Make
this
good.
But
but
as
like
as
a
man
looking
back,
I
have
to
say,
John
Romita,
dude,
they're
they're
not
dated.
Like
you
can
look
at
those
comics
and
they're
so
cool.
Like
you're
like,
oh
my
gosh,
like
there's
a
cartooniness.
You
like
you
like
cartooniness
in
comics?
John
Ramita's
got
you.
Ashley
54:50
Well,
I
was
just
looking,
like,
I
was
just
looking
at
all
these
images
of
Spider-Man,
just
scrolling
through
and
like
clicking
on
the
ones
that
I
remember,
um,
and
they
were
all
John
Ramita
Sr.
Right.
Oh,
that's
awesome.
Cesar
55:00
Right.
Cool.
So
wait,
like,
do
you
like
Ryan
Otley?
Ashley
55:04
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cesar
55:05
What
yeah,
he's
kind
of
like,
eh,
right?
Yeah.
Ashley
55:08
What?
Cesar
55:08
Have
you
seen
his
Spider-Man
stuff?
Ashley
55:10
No,
I
haven't.
Cesar
55:10
It's
not
bad.
No,
it's
like
I
read
Haunt.
That's
my
that
Haunt
was
my
first
experience
of
Ryan
Otley.
And
I
was
kind
of
like,
okay,
Todd
McFarland
kind
of
rubbed
his
stank
on
a
little
bit
too,
right?
Like
he's
like,
you
know,
you
gotta
have
Todd.
I
think
I
think.
Okay.
No,
it's
a
Kirkman
joint.
Ed
55:26
Oh,
Kirkman,
okay.
It's
a
Kirkman
joint.
Cesar
55:28
And
it
was
McFarlane
was
doing
inks
and
Ryan
Otley
was
doing
the
pencils.
And
I
was
kind
of
like,
eh,
okay.
But
when
Ryan
Otley
got
on
board
with
Spider-Man,
it's
so
much
fun
to
read.
And
I
I
highly
recommend
his
run.
Is
Nick
Spencer
the
writer?
So
Nick
Spencer's
the
writer,
Ryan
Otley's
the
artist,
and
I
think
you
might
enjoy
it
because
it
feels
like
an
image
book.
Yeah.
But
you
get
like
the
melodrama
and
the
humor
and
the
I'll
get
you
ness
of
Spider-Man,
which
is
really,
really
nice.
Ashley
55:56
That's
I
like
Nick
Spencer
too.
That
change
my
video.
Cesar
55:58
You
convinced
me.
Ed
55:59
Yeah.
Cesar
56:00
Change,
you're
right.
Badr
56:02
Dude,
I
can
fucking
sell
Spider-Man.
So
it
sounds
like
uh
uh
officially,
because
I
think
anytime
that
we
all
agree
on
one
particular
topic,
we
can
go
ahead
and
add
it
to
the
short
box
hall
of
fame.
So
it's
not
it
sounds
safe
to
say
the
short
box
hall
of
fame
best
Spider-Man
artist
is
John
Ramada
Sr.
Is
that
safe
to
say?
I
would
say
for
me.
No,
for
me.
I'd
like
to
do
that.
Ed
56:20
I
think
we
know
that's
too
iconic.
Badr
56:21
I
can't
say
gavel,
bang,
bang,
bang,
John
Ramada
Sr.
Cesar
56:26
Oh
my
god,
man.
Spider-Man
is
directly
responsible
for
me
getting
married
to
Sarah,
man.
Because
without
me
being
Spider-Man
was
like
how
I
got
into
comics,
like
pre-Batman.
Like
I
didn't
have
any
Batman
comics,
but
Spider-Man
was
my
guy.
And
because
I
was
a
little
fucking
nerd,
the
idea
of
cracking
jokes
while
somebody's
trying
to
kill
you.
Right.
It's
like,
oh
my
god,
this
is
that
guy.
And
I
got
into
Spider-Man
hardcore,
and
I
never,
like,
never
ever
not
like
Spider-Man
so
much.
Then
when
I
met
Butter,
I
found
out
that
was
his
fucking
favorite
dude.
And
we
cultivated
a
friendship
and
we
fucking
basically
he
brought
me
onto
this
show.
Sarah
heard
the
show
before
she
met
me
in
person,
so
she
knew
what
I
sounded
like.
We
met
as
a
result
of
all
of
us
meeting
from
the
podcast
at
Kickbacks.
The
short
box
is
directly
responsible
for
me
meeting
my
wife.
One
thing
leads
to
another.
We're
married,
blah,
blah,
blah.
Thank
you,
fucking
Spider-Man.
Wow.
Yo,
happy
300,
everyone.
Badr
57:22
Bam!
I
think
we're
at
a
good
stopping
point.
I
will
say
our
next
comic
spotlight
episode
will
be
a
comic
chosen
by
this
month's
birthday
boy,
our
very
own
Cesar
Corder.
Oh
shit.
Um,
have
you
finalized
your
pick
yet?
Do
you
need
me
to?
Yes.
Yes.
Like
right
now?
Not
right
now.
I
uh
do
any
comfortable.
No,
I
got
it.
Oh.
Oh,
do
you
want
to
make
the
announcement?
Yeah,
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
What's
it?
Ready?
It's
surprise.
Shocker,
guys.
Shocker.
Cesar
57:47
Something.
Mad
Love
by
Bruce
Tim.
Oh,
oh,
cool.
I
actually
have
it.
Ashley
57:52
Nice.
Cesar
57:53
Yeah,
it's
one
issue.
Okay.
And
it's
a
really
good
Batman
issue.
And
without
it,
you
don't
get
Curse
of
the
White
Knight
or
White
Knight.
Okay.
Because
it's
the
first
Harley
Batman
Joker
trilogy,
like
triangle
story.
Badr
58:06
I
like
that.
Alright,
that's
a
good
one.
So
that'll
be
our
next
um
homework
assignment.
Um,
after
that
one,
we'll
look
to
our
true
believer
tier
patrons
to
help
us
select
the
following
episodes
homework
and
spotlight.
Cesar
58:17
And
also
you
could
just
watch
the
episode
on
the
animated
series.
It's
the
same
thing.
Ed
58:20
I
probably
don't.
Okay.
Badr
58:22
So
if
you're
um
so
if
you're
listening
and
you
want
to
make
a
suggestion
for
a
future
episode,
consider
becoming
a
patron.
Patreon.com
slash
the
short
box
has
all
the
information
you
need.
Since
this
is
a
special
occasion,
in
lieu
of
our
normal
music
break,
uh,
we've
got
some
more
friends
calling
in,
so
we'll
hear
from
them
first
and
uh
we'll
get
right
back.
We
got
some
emails
to
read.
Uh,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
thank
um
the
patrons
who
voted
on
Amazing
Spider-Man
300.
Thank
you
for
your
money.
Yeah,
exactly.
And
helped
us
uh
select
uh
uh
today's
topic.
Let's
go
ahead
and
play
these
voicemails
and
then
uh
we'll
be
right
back.
So
stay
tuned.
SBX Hotline
58:54
You
have
reached
the
short

No
one
is
available
to
take
your
call.
Leave

geeky.
Drew

Short
box.
Anyways,
300
episodes.
Not
my
300
episode,
obviously,
because
no,
like
I
dropped
the
ball
off.
But
anyways,
300
episodes,
but
I'm
gonna
bask
in
the
glory,
basket.
Anyways,
I
couldn't
remember
if
you
said
it
was
Tuesday.
I
think
you
said
it
was
Tuesday.
Tuesday
we're
gonna
be
recording.
Um,
yeah,
so
I
got
you.
I
took
off
the
work.
I'm
gonna
be
there.
So
I
feel
like
uh
the
dude
that
just
joined
the
successful
basketball
team,
and
like
he's
the
win
championship.
So,
like,
you
know,
made
it.
All
right,
man.
Well,
I'll
see
you
Friday.
We'll
talk
later.
Bye.
Speaker 26
59:33
What
up,
nerds?
This
is
Bob
from
Straight
Chilling
Podcast
Horror
Movie
Review.
Uh
I
wanted
to
call
in
and
congratulate
the
short
box
crew
on
reaching
their
landmark
300th
episode.
What
an
achievement
that
is.
You
guys
do
fantastic
work,
and
you've
been
doing
it
year
after
year.
It's
been
a
real
pleasure
knowing
you
guys.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
you
guys,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
guys
some
more
in
the
future.
Keep
putting
on
for
the
comic
book
nerds
across
the
land,
and
as
always,
keep
chilling.
Talk
to
you
all
later.
Bob

2013,
episode
33.
A
Guy's
Girls
Guide
to
Turtle
Soup.
That
was
my
first
introduction
to
the
short
box
when
I
was
invited
by
Ryan
from
GAM
to
show
up
to
some
random
guy's
house
to
record
a
podcast
in
the
spare
room.
Doesn't
sound
shady
at
all,
does
it?
Now,
flash
forward
seven
years
and
267
episodes
later,
that
random
guy,
along
with
his
incredible
team,
now
records
ten
feet
away
from
me
every
Sunday
while
I
try
not
to
curse
out
the
Jags
so
loud
you
can
hear
it
in
the
background
of
their
recordings.
All
jokes
aside,
congrats
on
300
and
know
this
is
just
one
of
the
many
milestones
you
guys
all
have
ahead
of
you.
Chris Jojola
1:00:48
What
up,
Short
Box
Nation?
It's
Chris
Holola,
aka
Jojo.
I
helped
co-host
alongside
Adam
and
Ed
during
the
Golden
Era
of
the
podcast.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
shout
out
to
Bodder,
Ed,
Cesar,
and
Ashley
for
all
the
hard
work
and
dedication
you
put
into
the
cast.
300
episodes
is
truly
a
milestone,
and
you
all
should
be
proud.
Thanks
for
the
insight,
the
reviews,
the
recommendations,
the
laughs,
and
above
all
else,
the
friendship.
Here's
the
300
more.
Cheers.
Warren Evans
1:01:15
Yo,
Shortbox
Crew.
It's
your
boy
Warren,
aka
Bart
of
Darkness,
and
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
on
this
monumental
moment
in
the
show,
your
300th
episode.
300
episodes.
It's
insane.
We've
laughed,
we've
cried,
we've
hated
Cesar,
we've
loved
Cesar,
and
everything
in
between.
So
I
guess
what
I'm
really
trying
to
say
is
I'm
just
really
proud
of
you
guys.
Keep
up
the
great
work.
And
I
love
you.
See
you
later.
Mega Ran
1:01:47
Yo,
what's
going
on?
This
is
Megaran.
Just
wanted
to
show
some
love
for
the
short
box,
one
of
my
favorite
podcasts.
Happy
to
say
I've
had
the
pleasure
to
be
on
a
couple
times,
but
man,
I
remember
being
on
the
road,
just
like
literally
ripping
down
the
highway
just
to
make
it
on
time
to
pop
in
for
an
episode
before
a
show
in
Jacksonville.
And
y'all
always
show
love.
It's
always
great
vibes,
great
conversation.
And
also
know
how
to
have
a
good
time,
how
to
conduct
interviews,
how
to
not
ask
the
same
questions
700
times.
Uh,
but
yeah,
man,
I'm
a
huge
fan
of
short
box.
And
here's
to
like
7,000
more
episodes.
With
Megaran
appearing
on
at
least,
I
should
say,
five
of
the
next
7,000.
That's
really
doable,
right?
Alright,
y'all.
Peace
and
love.
Ed
1:02:30
I'm
out.
Ashley
1:02:31
I
had
someone
come
up
to
me
at
the
comic
shop
and
they're
like,
I'm
really
good
friends
with
Bader.
I
was
like,
are
you?
Ed
1:02:36
You're
obviously
not.
Ashley
1:02:37
Arya?
Cesar
1:02:38
You're
obviously
not
the
friends
of
Fader.
Ashley
1:02:41
I
wish
I
could
remember
who
it
was.
Cesar
1:02:43
Uh
actually
that
was
me.
And
thank
you
for
uh
blowing
up
my
spot
on
the
show.
Badr
1:02:48
I
wish
you
would
have
like
hit
him
back
with
Arya,
do
you
do
a
podcast
with
them
every
Sunday?
I
guess
not.
That'll
be
1117.
Does
he
make
fun
of
your
scarf?
I
don't
think
so.
All
right.
I
was
gonna
wait
until
um
uh
C
stopped
stuffing
his
face
with
chips
and
ready
cheese.
Special,
I'm
ready.
Getting
blue
cheese
all
over
the
wit.
I
will
admit
he
got
it
away
from
the
mic,
so
that
that
doesn't
work.
Um,
does
everyone
have
their
refill
of
drinks?
Cesar
1:03:20
That
is
the
problem.
Ed
1:03:22
I
don't
see
the
problem.
Cheers.
Happy
300
for
the
17th
of
the
day.
Oh,
Ashley
Straight
Edge
over
here.
Cesar
1:03:28
I
know,
fucking
Ian
Mackay
chilling
out.
Fugazi.
Ed
1:03:34
All
right.
Skit
1:03:35
XXX
Ashley.
Lanny
Hoy
XXX.
Badr
1:03:39
All
right,
Shorebox
Nation.
Um,
we
received
some
emails
last
week
that
we
didn't
get
around
to,
but
not
for
lack
of
trying,
but
because
we
were
joined
by
a
special
guest
on
our
last
episode.
True.
Cesar,
redemption
round.
Who
was
our
guest
on
our
last
week's
episode?
Thank
you,
Bob.
Cesar
1:03:55
I
believe
it
was
Regina
King.
Badr
1:03:57
Yeah.
No,
that's
a
big
guess.
No,
it
was
not
Regina
King.
Because
Jim
Rugg
was
on
last
week's
episode.
Rugman.
We
didn't
get
around
to
emails.
Uh
we
spent
over
an
hour
talking
about
his
new
blacklight
comic,
October,
1976.
If
you
haven't
heard
of
that
episode,
I
highly
recommend
it.
So
I
want
to
get
around
to
emails
today.
We
got
two
in
celebration
of
300.
So
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
get
around
to
those.
See,
are
you
done
eating?
Yes!
Okay.
Eating,
I'm
fine.
All
right.
Cesar
1:04:23
Drinking,
I'm
not.
So
give
us
our
first
email,
please.
All
right,
here
we
go.
Road
to
300,
bitches.
Whoa.
From
from
Justin
Lane30.
Hello,
Shortbox
Nation.
It
is
Mr.
I'm
Famous.
Happy
300th
episode,
guys.
This
show
has
certainly
earned
everything
it's
received
in
the
years
from
fans
like
me
who
love
you
guys
and
what
you
do
for
the
nerd
community
and
jacks.
I'm
grateful
and
proud
to
call
myself
a
member
of
this
huge
geeky
family.
Happy
300th,
guys.
I
love
you
guys
from
Justin.
Yes.
Oh,
Botter,
we
need
more
cool
Patreon
gifts
and
comic
events.
Again,
no
matter
what
the
cost,
literally,
just
take
my
money.
Here,
take
it.
That's
from
Justin,
man.
That's
nice,
right?
I
appreciate
the
love.
Badr
1:05:11
Um,
so
to
answer
your
question,
Justin,
about
cool
Patreon
gifts
and
comic
events,
no
matter
the
cost.
So,
as
you
may
may
have
noticed,
I
think
a
few
folks
that
are
listening
were
probably
expecting,
you
know,
and
true,
you
know,
bodder
fashion.
Um,
I
love
nostalgia.
They're
probably
expecting
a
big
old
nostalgia
fest
for
the
300,
but
that
was
not
the
case
this
episode.
Cesar
1:05:31
If
they
know
you,
they're
expecting
Guys,
a
ginormous
bodder
poster
will
be
sent
to
your
home.
It's
kind
of
ginormous.
Yeah,
eight
by
ten
glossy
headshots
of
yours,
truly.
Butter
milligan.
So
whenever
you
have
a
nightmare,
he
can
just
look
at
you
and
tell
you.
What
are
those
things
called?
Ed
1:05:47
The
fat
heads,
like
you
stick
them
on
the
wall?
Oh,
yeah,
for
sure.
Cesar
1:05:49
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Instead
of
athletes,
you
have
just
a
botter
looking
at
you
like
it's
gonna
be
okay.
Give
me
your
Patreon
money.
It's
like
Modoc.
Badr
1:06:00
I
wanted
I
wanted
to
say
we
we
didn't
do
the
whole
nostalgia
route
because
um
uh
we've
actually
got
we're
gonna
save
all
that
for
a
really
cool
project
and
uh
I
want
to
toss
it
to
C
because
he
is
the
man
leading
said
project
and
and
future
event.
Cesar
1:06:13
Uh
since
this
is
the
300th
episode,
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
essentially
just
drop
this
on
you
guys
now.
We
have
been
trying
to
come
up
with
a
documentary
slash
expose
for
the
short
box
that
basically
kind
of
covers
all
the
funny,
and
it'll
be
it'll
it'll
cover
people
that
you've
seen
before
in
the
past,
people
that
are
currently
here,
a
few
faces
and
voices
that
you
haven't
heard
in
a
long
time.
Stick
around.
I
mean,
we've
got
a
lot
of
exciting
things
coming,
and
I
think
this
documentary
is
just
basically
the
the
tip
of
the
spear.
We're
we're
we're
mainly
trying
to
push
the
boundaries.
It's
something
we
do
here
on
the
show,
right,
Bonner?
Like
the
listeners
are
worth
it,
the
audience
is
worth
it,
all
of
our
fans
are
worth
it,
and
hopefully,
once
this
is
done,
this
will
be
yet
another
thing
that
we
can
give
to
you
guys
and
just
say,
here,
thank
you.
Like,
thank
you
so
much.
So
just
uh
stay
tuned
and
uh
keep
your
eyes
open
for
it.
Badr
1:07:06
So
sometime
in
December
is
when
you
can
expect
that.
Um,
of
course,
uh
uh
Justin,
uh
you
being
a
patron,
you
already
know
um
that
patrons
will
get
uh
first
dibs
at
when
you
know
when
tickets
will
be
available,
when
they
won't
happen.
So
uh
it
is
a
good
time
to
be
a
short
box
patron.
Justin,
thank
you
for
that
email.
Uh,
we
got
one
more
email
uh
uh
talking
about
patrons.
This
is
another
one
from
a
good
friend
of
ours
and
patron.
Cesar
1:07:30
This
email
is
titled
Undercover
Nerds
with
a
lot
of
like
looky
emojis
of
eyeballs.
What's
going
on,
short
box
fam?
Big
congrats
on
making
your
way
to
300
episodes.
Uh
I
got
a
pretty
good
question
I'd
like
to
run
past
y'all.
This
is
from
Trey
Namo,
okay?
Who
would
you
guys
label
as
undercover
nerds
that
most
people
wouldn't
really
know
are
really
about
that
nerd
life?
Personally,
I'd
have
to
go
with
The
Godfather
himself,
Method
Man.
Damn
it,
he
took
mine.
Method
Man,
Mr.
Meff,
aka
Johnny
Blaze
has
a
massive
30,000
plus
comic
book
collection
that
he
stores
in
his
privately
owned
warehouse.
He
has
some
spectacular
gem
books
that
spotlight
his
impressive
collection,
uh,
such
as
his
near
mint
Hulk
181,
The
First
Appearance
of
Wolverine,
and
of
course,
Fantastic
Four
number
one.
So
that's
my
undercover
nerd.
What's
yours?
As
always,
short
box.
Uh
DJ
Paul
is
a
dog.
One
you
do
not
trust.
You
leave
yo
green
around
me,
Kozo,
your
green
gonna
get
lit
up.
You
leave
your
drink
around,
believe
yo
drink,
gon'
get
drunk
up.
You
leave
yo
geek
around
me,
and
when
she
bad,
she
gon'
get
stuffed.
Uh,
whatever
Bodder's
weird
sign-off
is.
Oh,
uh,
bonus
points.
If
anyone
other
than
Butter
can
name
what
the
song
came
from.
Best
regards
our
hood
ass
Trey
Namo.
Yeah.
Trey
Namo.
Trey
is
a
fucking
cool.
Badr
1:09:11
I
can't
believe
that
Trey
did
that
shit.
So
Trey
uh,
I
guess
really
enjoyed
the
last
episode
in
the
email
that
um
C
had
read
and
uh
how
just
utterly
um
corny
he
made
whap
sound.
I
was
like,
WHAP?
Cesar
1:09:26
So
he's
he
included
uh
a
whole
hearing
from
a
fucking
3-6
mafia
song
that
nobody's
heard
in
years.
So
that
was
that
was
that
little
bit
of
confusion.
You're
welcome,
Trey,
by
the
way.
Yeah,
it's
good.
Trey
was
like
probably
like,
yo,
I'm
gonna
get
him
with
this
one.
Badr
1:09:41
So
I
I
guess
let's
answer
his
question.
Who
is
an
undercover
nerd
um
that
people
wouldn't
really
know
about?
Ed
1:09:48
Can
I
do
another
Wu-Tang
guy?
Yeah,
Rizza?
Because
of
all
his,
he's
like
such
a
big
like
kung
fu
movie
nerd,
you
know.
Badr
1:09:55
So
I
was
kind
of
I've
been
thinking
he
might
branch
off
into
other
stuff.
That's
a
good
one.
Ashley,
what
about
you?
You
know
a
whole
bunch
of
uh
famous
people.
Yeah,
who's
an
undercover
nerd?
Ashley
1:10:04
Is
um
is
is
Titus
Wulliver
is
he
famous
enough
to
be,
yeah.
I
the
only
Twitter,
the
only
time
he
ever
answered
me
back
on
Twitter,
um,
we
were
talking
about
Savage
Wolverine.
Oh
wow,
like
Frank
Cho,
Savage
Wolverine.
And
he
has
like
a
whole
um
like
a
ton
of
like
the
hot
toys.
Ed
1:10:20
Ooh.
Ashley
1:10:21
And
yeah,
we
were
talking
about
hot
toys
for
a
minute.
The
only
time
he's
ever
talked
to
me
on
Twitter.
Badr
1:10:25
Oh
yeah.
Actually,
can
I
admit
I
have
no
idea
who
that
is?
Who
is
that?
Ashley
1:10:29
Um
geez.
He's
been
in
so
much
stuff.
Cesar
1:10:31
He
is
his
main
vehicle
right
now
is
Bosch
on
uh
Amazon.
That's
in
like
uh
season
seven,
I
think.
They're
either
filming
it
or
it
just
came
out.
I
know
him
from
Lost
and
The
Transformers
movie.
Ashley
1:10:43
Transformers.
Okay,
okay.
Cesar
1:10:45
I
know
exactly
what
you
guys
think.
That's
good.
Okay,
hold
on.
I'm
about
to
do
a
high
five
alley
oop
with
Ashley
here,
okay?
Do
you
want
do
you
want
to
co
uh
nerd
Nicolas
Cage?
Ashley
1:10:55
Oh
yeah.
Cesar
1:10:56
Come
on.
I
mean,
people
know
that
he
might
be
a
nerd,
but
like
in
our
community,
everybody
knows
he's
a
nerd.
But
like
everyone
knows
he's
he's
just
bad
shit,
crazy.
He's
actually
well,
he's
actually
Nicholas
Coppola.
Like
his
uncle
is
Francis
Ford
Coppola,
like
a
famous
Italian
director.
I'm
doing
Chef's
Gifts
uh
figures
right
now.
But
he
changed
his
name
to
Cage,
one,
because
he
didn't
he
wanted
to
make
it
on
his
own
Steam,
and
two,
Lou
Cage
is
his
favorite
superhero.
Um,
aside
from
the
ghost
Aside
from
the
Ghost
Rider,
of
course.
Ashley
1:11:28
Everybody
knows
doesn't
he
have
a
ghostwriter
tattoo?
Cesar
1:11:30
Yes,
that
they
had
to
digitally
edit
out
for
the
movie.
Isn't
his
son?
Doesn't
he
got
a
son's
name
is
Cal
L.
Thank
you.
So
Nicholas
Cage,
Sebastian
Bach,
Shaq,
and
I
can't
remember
anyone
else
are
known
for
having
action
comics
number
one.
Sebastian
Bach,
really?
Yeah,
dude,
Sebastian
Bach
is
a
huge
Oh,
and
Jerry
Seinfeld.
Yeah.
I'll
go
ahead
and
they're
all
huge
Superman
fans.
Ed
1:11:55
Yeah.
Badr
1:11:55
Speaking
of
Superman,
my
selection
is
umbody
cares
now.
300
episodes
in
that
joke
still
doesn't
get
so
funny.
Um
I'll
go
ahead
and
admit
that
I'll
never
forget
the
episode
where
Shaq
was
doing
his
uh
MTV
Cribs
episode,
and
it
was
super
he
had
like
a
Superman
bed.
He's
a
huge
Superman
fan.
Like
he
got
he's
got
the
tat.
Um
I
don't
know
if
he
rivals
uh
uh
Jerry
Seinfeld
or
anyone
like
that,
but
I
know
that
um
he
played
Steel.
Yeah,
Steel.
Yeah,
so
but
he's
John
Henry
Irons,
man.
He
is
a
giant,
you
know,
no
pun
intended.
He
is
a
giant
Superman
fan.
Cesar
1:12:33
Oh,
I
see
what
you
did
there.
Badr
1:12:34
Steel
I'll
go
ahead
and
answer.
Thank
you
for
that
email,
Trey.
Um,
I
want
to
go
say

Corey
and
Tony
ALP,
I

emails.
I
promise
I'll

it
next
episode.
Um
last
voicemail
I'll
play
for
this
segment
is
a
voicemail
from
um
uh
a
good
friend
of
ours,
our
sponsor
himself,
Mr.
Ben
Kingsbury,
owner
of
City
Limit
Comic
Shop.
Let's
hear
what
he's
got
to
share
this
week.
Ben Kingsbury
1:12:58
Hey
guys
and
gals,
Ben
Kay
here
from
Gotham
City
Limit
in
Jacksonville,
Florida,
with
another
scheduled
interruption
for
you.
First,
let
me
say
congratulations
to
everyone
involved
in
300
episodes
at
the
Short
Box
Podcast.
What
an
accomplishment.
This

with
the
doomsday
clock
finally
being
released

one
solid
book
in
the
trade
paperback

Marvel's
Ex

Swords

with
Hellion's
New
Mutants
and
the
Ex
of
Swords
Handbook.
And
Amazing

We're
honored

and
we
wish
you
the
best
in
the
future.
And
remember,
with
great
power
comes
great
responsibility.
Cesar
1:13:57
Holy
shit.
Tying
in
with
our
300.
Badr
1:14:00
Man,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
uh
for
that
voicemail.
Yes.
Um,
as
always,
uh
check
out
Gotham
City
Limit
if
you're
in
the
area.
That
being
said,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
jump
into
our
last
segment
of
the
show,
our
infamous
champion
season.
And
for
those
of
you
tuning
in
for
the
first
time,
champion
season
is
the
last
segment
of
the
show
where
we
all
have
the
opportunity
to
highlight
a
few
things
within
comic
books
and
pop
culture
that
we
feel
deserve
a
spotlight.
These
things
could
be
a
comic
book
itself,
a
movie,
a
TV
series,
a
video
game,
a
podcast,
uh
just
whatever
we
we
feel
like
hey,
this
is
really
dope.
I'm
really
into
it
this
week.
More
people
should
check
it
out,
and
here's
why.
Ashley,
will
you
do
us
the
honors
of
championing
the
first
thing
for
our
300th
episode?
Ashley
1:14:49
All
right.
So
I'm
gonna
champion
um
The
Realist
by
Asof
Hanukkah.
Badr
1:14:53
Oh,
wow.
Ashley
1:14:54
Um,
it
is
it's
a
hardcover
collection
of
a
bunch
of
comics
that
he
did
for
an
Israeli
newspaper.
Um
so
it's
autobiographical
and
it's
a
bunch
of
shorts,
and
his
style
is
um
is
just
so
varied.
Um,
there's
a
lot
of
different
like
illustrative
styles
in
there.
So
it's
not
just
like
one
style,
it's
all
different
kinds
of
things.
Like
it's
really
cool.
Like
it
really
shows
um
just
kind
of
how
skilled
he
is.
Um
so
it's
hard
when
he
works
with
his
brother
on
things
because
I
don't
know
who
does
what,
just
because
uh
ASOF
is
just
so
completely
like
widespread
with
his
talents.
Um,
but
it's
really
interesting
and
it's
a
really
good
book.
Um,
just
like
one
little
hardcover
came
out
a
couple
years
ago,
and
it's
it's
really
cool.
Cesar
1:15:38
It
seems
like
since
you
mentioned
it,
I've
had
one
or
two
people
text
me
directly
about
um
everything
that
these
guys
have
done.
Yeah.
Like
it's
like,
case
you
didn't
notice,
see,
uh
Tony
Aopi
being
one
of
them,
like,
yo,
jump
on
the
shit
for
real.
And
I'm
like,
uh
Ashley
already
told
me
to
my
face.
And
he's
like,
no,
I'm
telling
you.
And
like
every
morning
at
like
3
a.m.,
it's
like
I
get
a
text
from
Tony
A.O.P.
Like,
yo,
is
he
Eddie
Brock
Venom?
He's
like,
no,
no,
no.
He's
just
like,
like,
yo,
start
reading
the
Hanukkah
shit,
bro.
Read
the
Hanukkah
shit
before
Hanukkah
happens,
bro.
Ashley
1:16:14
So
yeah,
they
somehow
flew
under
the
radar,
but
they're
so
insanely
talented.
Cesar
1:16:18
The
artwork
you
showed
me
was
phenomenal.
Ashley
1:16:20
Uh-huh.
Badr
1:16:21
Actually,
I
will
say
it
is
without
a
doubt,
out
of
any
of
us
here,
your
champion
selections
always
get
some
sort
of
follow-up
praise
or
whatever
it
may
be.
I
feel
like
it
resonates
with
a
lot
of
people.
The
daughter
hates
you
for
it.
Like,
damn,
what
about
this
Marvel
stuff
a
champion?
Yeah,
man.
Ed
1:16:38
Okay.
Badr
1:16:39
Stay
on
brand.
That's
a
good
one.
Do
you
have
another
one?
Ashley
1:16:42
I
have
one
more.
So
this
is
more
of
like
a
kid's
book.
Um,
it's
an
archaea
book.
Um,
it's
by
Ben
Queen,
wrote
it.
Um,
Joe
Todd
Stanton
um
did
the
artwork
for
it.
So
it's
called
Bear.
And
it's
it
sounds
really
sad.
So
it's
about
a
seeing
eye
dog
that
loses
his
vision.
Badr
1:17:01
What
the
hell
do
I
write?
Ashley
1:17:02
Yeah.
So
it
it's
like
a
it's
a
kid's
book,
but
it's
super
sweet
and
um
has
really
nice
illustrations.
And
it
was
just
one
of
those
things
where
like
I
look
through
it
and
I
was
like,
I
I
gotta
get
this.
It's
a
really
cute
story.
It's
got
like,
you
know,
these
little
like
raccoons
in
it
and
stuff.
Um,
so
it's
a
really
good
read.
Do
you
even
if
you
don't
have
kids?
I
mean,
I
guess
better
if
you
have
kids,
you
could
read
it
to
your
kids.
But
um,
fuck
that.
Yeah,
yeah.
It's
you
don't
probably
don't
want
to
read
this
button.
It's
like
a
nice
hardcover,
so
you
probably
don't
want
your
kids
touching
it.
So
you
just
get
it
for
yourself.
Ed
1:17:34
Hell
yeah.
Ed,
I'll
pass
it
to
you.
What
do
you
want
to
champion
for?
I'm
gonna
do
a
couple.
I'm
gonna
do
follow-up
from
earlier
is
uh
the
Marvel
Snapshots
Cyclops.
It's
just
one
issue.
Um,
it's
basically
like
a
story
about
Cyclops
growing
up,
and
I'm
not
a
huge
Cyclops
fan,
but
the
author,
Jay
Middleton,
I
think
he
does
an
X-Men,
X-Men
podcast.
So
I
just
figured
I'd
pick
it
up.
And
uh
it's
really
cool.
It
says
shows
you
know
Cyclops
growing
up
kind
of
like
in
an
orphanage
and
seeing
the
Fantastic
Four
on
TV,
and
that's
what
inspires
him
to
be
a
hero.
Because
this
is
before
his
powers
kick
in,
but
he
was
getting
these
you
know
crazy
headaches,
and
he
was
kind
of
an
outcast
at
even
there.
Like
everyone
picked
on
him,
even
the
little
kids
thought
he
was
weird.
So,
but
it
was
you
know
him
seeing
the
uh
the
X
or
I'm
sorry,
uh
the
Fantastic
Four
in
action
inspired
him
down
the
road
to
become
a
hero,
and
it
kind
of
it's
a
nice
little
coming
of
age
tale,
and
at
the
end
he's
kind
of
leading
the
X-Men.
He's
got
like
four
or
five
screens,
like
telling,
okay,
you
guys
need
to
do
this,
you
know,
keep
the
people
calm,
blah,
blah.
And
it's
like,
okay,
Cylock,
you
know,
basically
putting
out
all
the
commands
and
stuff.
Keep
dressing
skimpily.
Yeah.
I
love
Cyclops.
And
then
talking
to
uh
like
you
know,
um
Reed,
because
I
guess
Reed
needs
help.
I
guess
his
with
his
marriage,
yeah.
He
needs
Namor
taken
out,
right?
But
he
has
a
situation
that
he
needs
the
X-Men's
help
in,
and
then
he
basically
quotes
him
from
when
he
was
a
kid.
Like,
this
is
why
we
do
this.
Oh,
that's
pretty
cool.
So
it's
a
really
nice
story,
and
then
even
if
you're
not
a
Cyclops
fan,
it's
a
really
cool
in
a
little
coming-of-age
one-shot.
Very
nice.
And
then
season
two
of
the
boys.
Let's
go
opposite
here.
Oh,
yeah,
here
we
go.
Badr
1:19:12
Holy
shit.
Ed
1:19:14
Um,
they're
doing
a
season
three,
it's
completely
different
from
the
comic.
Um,
I'm
surprised
what
they
did
with
Stormfront.
Um,
I
don't
know
if
this
might
be
a
spoiler,
but
like
I
said,
in
the
comic,
Stormfront
is
a
Nazi
super
soldier,
one
of
the
first
super
soldiers
that
basically
got
rebranded.
And
then
they
made
Stormfront
kind
of
like
this
alt-right
type
character.
So
kind
of
tackling,
I
guess,
today's
politics,
but
it's
not
too
heavy-handed,
you
know.
It
doesn't
really,
you
know,
shame
you
or
punch
you
over
beat
you
over
the
head
with
it.
But
then
you
find
out
that
she
is
like,
and
they
changed
the
whole
story.
So
if
you
read
the
comic,
this
is
a
totally
different
thing.
So
she
eventually
she's
uh
found
out
that
she
is
the
first
super
soldier
because
Vaught
was
a
Nazi
scientist
that
basically
came
to
the
States,
which
is
totally
different.
And
she's
been
through
a
few
different
superhero
incarnations
over
the
years
because
she's
older.
And
uh
man,
it's
they
and
they
play
some
homage
with
if
you've
read
the
comic,
um,
love
sausage.
So
those
of
the
who
get
that,
and
it's
my
nickname
in
college.
It's
what
you
think
it
is,
too.
But
it's
like
a
little
throwback
to
the
uh
to
the
comics
in
the
fight
scene
with
Stormfront
is
a
throwback
to
the
comics,
and
like
it's
just
they
keep
enough
of
it
to
keep
it
like
to
kind
of
appeal
to
the
fans
of
the
book,
but
they
changed
it,
and
it's
I
think
it's
better.
I
think
it's
better
than
the
source
material.
So
if
you're
if
you're
uh
kind
of
on
the
fence
about
season
two,
season
two
really
ramps
things
up.
Badr
1:20:44
Okay.
I
need
to
I
I
watched
half
of
episode
one
and
then
I
just
got
busy.
Yeah,
and
then
I
got
hella
nerd
changed
from
Ryan.
Oh
Ryan.
Because
he
was
like,
yo,
boys
is
awesome.
Ed
1:20:55
I
I
watched
the
same
thing
because
I
watched
like
the
first
two
episodes,
and
I
just
kind
of
and
then
um
yeah,
someone
uh
and
then
I
got
message
too.
It's
like,
hey,
are
you
watching
the
boys?
Yeah,
and
it's
like
I
was
like,
okay,
let
me
know
when
you
watch
it.
Badr
1:21:07
He
wouldn't
even
tell
me,
he's
like,
What
let
me
know
when
you
watch
it?
Well,
it's
even
better
now
because
it's
already
done,
right?
Like
this
was
the
last
episode
this
week.
But
they're
doing
the
season
three.
Okay,
so
I
can
just
watch
everything
in
full.
Ed
1:21:16
Which
is
everything
has
been
released,
so
you
can
just
because
it
was
coming
out.
I
think
they
drop
like
two
episodes
and
then
week
week
by
week.
But
they're
doing
uh
season
three,
and
it
ends,
and
there's
like
there's
a
lot
of
callbacks
to
the
comic,
so
the
fans
of
the
the
comic
will
will
enjoy
it
too.
Badr
1:21:31
Okay,
sounds
good.
Um
C,
I'm
gonna
go
to
you,
man.
What
do
you
want
to
champion
today?
Cesar
1:21:37
So
because
it's
October,
um,
I
have
been
reading
nothing
but
Batman.
And
I
typically
haven't
been
reading
Batman
in
like
a
long
time.
And
I've
been
catching
up.
I
never
read
war
games.
Um,
one,
because
it
was
just
it
just
happened
to
be
an
event
that
took
like
way
too
long
and
had
a
bunch
of
tie-ins.
Ed
1:21:56
Was
that
the
one
with
they
took
over
the
city?
Cesar
1:21:57
Like
all
the
so
the
idea
being
that
Batman
had
a
contingency
to
stop
gang
warfare
in
Gotham
by
seeding
gang
warfare
and
then
stopping
it
by
introducing
his
uh
alternate
uh
character,
Matches
Malone.
Oh,
okay.
So
Matches
Malone
was
gonna
kind
of
stop
it,
but
no
one
really
knew
that
Matches
Malone,
spoilers,
is
Batman.
Matches
Malone
and
Stephanie
Brown,
spoiler,
uh
no
spoiler,
like
that's
actually
her
superhero
name.
Um
after
being
fired
from
being
Robin,
she
decides
to
try
and
get
on
Batman's
good
graces
by
taking
his
plan
and
enacting
it
in
Gotham.
But
it
backfires
because
she
doesn't
know
who
Matches
Malone
is.
So
gang
warfare
erupts
in
Gotham
and
it
is
a
street
level,
you
don't
see
any
fucking
like
dark
side
or
any
weird
villains
that
are
outside
of
Batman
in
purview.
Right.
It's
just
straight
like
Bruce
is
beaten
beating
the
shit
out
of
like
gangsters,
like
old
school,
like
street
level
detective
shit.
So
war,
I
mean,
and
that's
not
a
new
story.
War
games
came
out
a
while
back,
and
then
I
read
that,
and
then
I
read
uh
Bruce
Wayne
Batman
Fugitive,
uh,
which
is
really
good.
Batman
gets
framed.
Well,
Bruce
Wayne
gets
framed
for
a
murder,
um,
and
they
have
to
send
him
to
jail,
and
the
entire
Bat
family
is
more
or
less
trying
to
solve
Bruce
Wayne's
like
frame
job,
which
is
like
a
legit
good
detective
story.
So
those
are
really
good.
And
on
top
of
you
know,
the
classics
like
Long
Halloween,
Haunted
Night,
all
that
stuff.
Um
I've
been
trying
to
fill
up
my
October
with
that
sort
of
thing.
But
the
biggest
thing
I'd
like
to
champion,
and
I
can't
believe
I'm
saying
this,
is
Law
and
Order
SVUs.
Oh
boy.
I'm
not
kidding.
I
fell
down
a
dick
wolf
hole.
Dick
Wolf
hard.
That
is
the
most
40-year-old
dude
thing.
Fuck
you,
I'm
not
40
until
next
year.
Um
it
is
so
good.
I
I
can't
say,
like,
reading
these
like
like
Greg
Rucca
runs
on
Batman
and
Ed
Brewbaker
runs
on
Batman,
they
are
as
good
as
like
a
law
and
order
episode.
Just
nobody
gets
in
tights
and
punches
somebody
at
night,
right?
Like
it's
it's
legit
good.
So
I
would
say
those
are
my
champions.
Solid
champions.
Badr
1:24:14
And
and
I
I'm
fronting
100%.
I've
bonded
with
my
mom
plenty
of
times
over
the
most
random
murders
and
and
and
New
York
crimes.
That's
awesome.
So
um,
no,
I
respect
that
100%.
I
will
go
ahead
and
champion
the
trailer
that
we
got
for
Invincible
that
is
set
to
premiere
on
Amazon
Prime
sometime
in
2021.
If
you're
not
familiar
with
Invincible,
it
is
a
comic.
It's
Dragon
Ball
Z.
Yo,
it's
Dragon
Ball
Z
meets
coming
of
age,
superhero,
teen
stories,
Spider-Man,
Superman.
Um
Dragon
Ball
Z
kind
of
epic
fight
scenes,
but
it
is
a
comic
book
series
that
was
published
by
Image.
I
think
it
was
one
of
Robert
Kirkwin's
first
comic
book
series,
or
at
least
the
one
that
helped
kind
of
put
around.
Okay,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Fair
enough.
Um,
but
it
is
a
comic
book
series
that
came
out
from
Image
a
few,
well,
not
even
a
few,
a
lot
of
years
back.
Uh
it
was
drawn
by
uh
Ryan
Otley
at
some
point.
I
don't
remember
the
original
artist
name.
I
think
the
original
artist
only
did
Corey
Walker.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay,
wow.
But
I
think
Corey
Walker
did
the
first
six
or
so
issues,
then
Ryan
Otley
came
on
board
and
it
was,
you
know,
when
did
it
come
out,
dude?
Yo,
a
good
minute
ago.
Like
2002?
Yeah.
Um
I
will
try
to
simultaneously
look
this
up.
That's
like,
dude,
that
that
comic
is
I
wonder
if
they'll
keep
all
that
gore.
Like
the
latest.
Man,
and
ripping
people's
faces
off
and
shit.
Jeez.
One
thing
about
this
um
animated
approach
makes
me
hopeful
that
they
can
stay
um
as
faithful
to
the
source
material.
Oh,
it's
um
um
the
issue
one
came
out
January
22nd,
2003.
Goodness
grace.
Early
2000s.
But
just
wrapped
up.
What?
Like
a
year
ago?
Not
too
long
ago.
Like
maybe
maybe
two
or
three
years
ago.
And
it
was
one
of
those
story
or
I'm
sorry,
comic
book
series
that
had
a
very
clear
ending.
Like
Robert
Kirkman
was
like,
hey.
And
a
big
kick
in
the
nuts
in
the
middle.
Huge
kick
in
the
nuts.
Yeah,
big
time.
Um
this
is
a
comic
book
series
of
among
many
where
Drew
has
sung
its
praises
for
so
many
years.
He
has
he
tried
to
put
me
on
for
like
many
years,
and
I
didn't
like
decide
to
read
it
until
just
some
random
fucking
inkling
I
had.
Like,
I'll
give
Inmissible
a
shot.
And
boy,
was
I
in
for
such
a
fun
tree.
I
got
to
catch
up
on
like
a
hundred
issues.
I
had
such
a
good
time
because
I
love
Spider-Man,
because
I
love
Dragon
Ball
Z
fights,
because
I
love
just
like
superhero
comics.
Um,
it
is
Robert
Kirkman's
love
letter
to
like
just
the
shit
that
he
grew
up
on.
And
I
can't
recommend
the
comic
book
series
enough.
Um,
but
this
trailer
has
gotten
me
excited.
Is
that
Netflix
or
uh
Amazon
Prime?
Oh,
so
they
are
gonna
keep
the
gore.
Yeah,
so
exactly.
And
that's
what
I
was
thinking.
I
was
like,
well,
if
they
if
they
can
stay
pretty
faithful
to
um
uh
the
boys
and
everything
that
goes
on
with
that
show,
then
they
can
definitely
stay
faithful
to
um
um
uh
Invincible
because
it's
animated.
Ed
1:26:50
And
I'm
not
saying
that
the
gore
absolutely
drives
it,
because
that's
no,
there's
a
lot
of
heart
because
it's
such
a
like
because
to
me
it
took
such
a
tonal
shift,
you
know,
once
that
big,
you
know,
the
bomb
show
was
revealed,
it's
like
and
it's
like,
oh
my
god,
you
know,
when
they're
taking
over
planets
and
just
repeating
the
mics,
yeah.
It
is
so
epic.
Man,
it
is
like
yeah,
it's
because
it's
such
like
clean
superhero
artwork,
and
then
that
gore
just
like
yeah,
Ryan
Otley,
and
Ryan
Otley
leans
into
it.
Badr
1:27:17
You
know,
he
loves
that
stuff.
But
the
trailer
made
me
really
excited.
Like
I
said,
uh
it's
gonna
premiere
on
Amazon
Prime.
I
think
it's
one
season
so
far,
eight
episodes,
so
I'm
sure
that
they're
just
gonna
do
like
the
first
trade,
you
know,
um
him
becoming
of
age,
learning
about
his
powers,
learning
about
his
dad's
um
uh
superhero
origin,
things
like
that.
Um,
and
it's
it's
the
production
company
is
Skybound,
which
happens
to
be
the
comic
book
company
that's
they
have
their
own
production.
Yeah,
which
is
awesome.
So
I'll
champion
that
Kirkman
has
that
walking
dead
money.
Oh,
dude.
And
then
speaking
of
Dragon
Ball
Z,
I
will
go
ahead
and
champion
uh
Dragon
Ball
Fighter
Z
for
the
PS4.
There
was
a
big
in
Japan
sale
on
the
PlayStation
Network,
and
they
had
Dragon
Ball
Fighter
Z,
um
Mark
Down.
From
$100
to
$15.
Wow.
Is
this
the
RPG?
No,
this
is
the
fighting.
Yeah,
it
was.
Well,
it
comes
with
um
the
Fighter
Pass
Season
One.
Okay.
Yeah,
it
comes
with
Fighter
Pass
Season
1,
which
includes
like
if
the
stock
roster
of
characters
is
16
for
just
the
stock
game,
Fighter
Pass
Season
1
added
eight
more
characters.
So
you
were
paying
for
the
stock
plus
the
fighter
pass
season.
Jesus
got
you
so
bad.
Oh,
absolutely.
Well,
here's
the
thing.
I
can't
find
my
fucking
I
cannot
find
my
the
the
uh
the
the
um
the
copy
that
I
physically
bought.
So
I
haven't
had
this
game
for
since
like
fight
night,
since
we
had
the
Dragon
Mozzie
fight
night.
Someone
stole
that
shit.
Yeah,
probably.
So
um
so
I
mean
it's
been
it's
been
years
since
I've
played
it,
and
then
I
see
this
sale
and
it's
15
bucks,
and
I
get
characters
like
Android
17,
Brawly,
and
even
movie
characters
like
Freezer's
brother
Cooler.
So
I
had
to
buy
it
and
really
Freezer
and
Cooler.
Cesar
1:28:51
I
believe
it's
CUDA.
Badr
1:28:52
So
the
same
straight
chillin'.
So
the
ability
to
play
this
game
again
um
uh
has
made
me
extremely
happy.
It
is
the
Marvel
versus
Capcom
2
of
Dragon
Ball
Z
games.
So
I
will
go
into
Champion
Dragon
Ball
Fighter
Z.
Um
they've
added
way
more
characters,
they've
added
like
new
features.
I've
added
it
to
my
collection.
Uh
I'm
gonna
go
into
Breaking
the
Sea's
House,
steal
those
amazing
Spider-Man
300
copies,
and
my
game
back.
So
I'll
go
into
Champion
Dragon
Ball
Fighter
Z
and
Invincible
Trailer
1,
and
that
will
wrap
up
this
long
episode.
300!
Ed
1:29:27
Yeah,
happy
300!
Badr
1:29:29
Um
I
want
to
thank
uh
Trey
and
Justin
for
sending
in
emails.
I
want
to
thank
our
sponsor,
Ben
from
Gotham
City
Limit,
for
that
voicemail.
Yo,
I'm
gonna
let
you
finish.
I'm
gonna
let
you
finish.
And
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
the
Short
Box
Nation
for
tuning
in.
Not
only
today
for
our
big
300th
episode,
uh,
but
for
as
long
uh
for
you
know
sticking
with
us
this
whole
time.
Exactly.
For
as
long
as
the
short
box
has
been
around.
I
will
double
down
on
my
statement
from
the
beginning
that
we
have
the
best
um
listenership.
Cesar
1:29:59
Oh,
I
thought
you
were
gonna
do
it
like
you're
like
yo.
I
will
double
down
on
my
statement
from
the
beginning
that
we
have
the
best
goddamn
show
host
in
Jacksonville,
buttermilic.
I
should
have
said
something
completely
unfortunate.
I
was
looking
at
you
like,
yo,
are
you
gonna
do
it?
Badr
1:30:13
We
have
the
best
Philly
steak
sandwich
that
you
can
do.
Oh
my
god.
Anyway,
no,
I'm
serious.
I
will
double
down
on
my
statement
that
we
have
the
best
uh
podcast
listener
or
best
listenership
a
podcast
could
ask
for.
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
tuning
in
week
in,
week
out.
Cesar
1:30:27
Completely
lucky
to
have
a
fan
base
like
we
do.
It
is
a
treat.
And
uh
I
I
can't
every
time
we
get
an
email,
every
time
we
see
somebody
at
a
live
event,
every
time
we
get
a
new
patron,
it's
it's
something
that
blows
all
of
our
minds
to
the
point
where
like,
man,
yo,
people
like
us.
The
idea
that
we
get
to
make
cool
shit
for
other
people,
stuff
that
we
would
listen
to
for
others
is
still
such
a
privilege,
especially
now
in
this
time
when
everybody's
kind
of
like
still
sticking
indoors
and
looking
for
stuff
to
do.
And
we
get
the
opportunity
to
basically
say,
Here,
uh,
hope
you
hope
you
guys
like
this,
you
know?
Yeah.
Badr
1:31:02
In
true
short
box
manner,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
and
also
let
uh
our
listeners
know
some
things
that
are
that
are
coming
up.
So,
as
you
guys
know,
if
you've
been
rocking
with
us
for
a
long
time,
short
box
math.
Every
50
episodes
equals
a
season.
Uh,
that
would
mean
that
301
officially
uh
gets
us
into
season
seven
of
the
short
box.
Oh
yeah.
Uh
yes,
new
so
alright,
some
things
you
can
expect
in
season
seven.
Uh
the
the
lucky
season
of
what
I'll
dub
it.
Ooh.
New
intro
song.
Um
I've
already
got
a
um,
there
goes
the
kava
all
over
the
floor.
I've
already
got
an
awesome
uh
uh
interview
with
one
of
the
industry
best
lined
up.
Um
I'm
right
here,
man.
Thanks.
Nice
too.
Uh
in
regards
to
our
Patreon,
like
I
said
earlier,
we
you
know,
we
we
we
have
bonus
episodes,
but
we
are
launching
a
new
uh
podcast
series
called
Pilot's
License.
Pilot's
license,
sorry
about
that.
Um
by
the
time
this
episode
drops,
we'll
have
two
episodes
of
that
new
series
already
launched.
We're
covering
um
uh
old
animated
comic
book
uh
cartoon
shows.
We've
already
done
Spider-Man
Unlimited,
and
of
course,
Batman
the
Animated
series.
It
is
a
great
time
to
uh
sign
up,
become
a
patron.
Not
only
do
you
get
bonus
episodes,
merch,
and
all
that
good
stuff,
but
we
get
your
money
that
go
towards
these
expensive
ass
podcast
bills.
That's
all
I've
got
to
share.
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
tuning
in
and
rocking
with
us
for
our
300th
episode.
Cesar
1:32:23
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
money.
Thank
you.
Badr
1:32:27
Champagne
doesn't
buy
itself,
though.
I've
got
one
more
batch
of
voicemails
from
close
friends
of
the
show
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
sign
off.
Do
you
guys
have
anything
to
add?
Like,
no,
no.
This
is
one
time.
Cesar
1:32:38
No,
no,
I
was
gonna
say
for
like
eight
hours.
Yeah,
no,
no,
I
was
gonna
say,
like,
do
you
got
any
sign
off
for
the
uh
300,
Ashley?
Do
you
got
anything
to
say?
Ashley
1:32:46
No,
nothing
important.
Looks
like
thanks
for
not
firing
me.
Cesar
1:32:50
We
made
it.
Thanks
for
not
firing
you.
Ashley
1:32:52
Yeah,
thanks
for
not
firing
me.
I'll
keep
showing
up
until
you
tell
me
not
to.
Badr
1:32:57
Ed
and
C
would
have
got
fired
well
before.
Yeah.
Well
before.
Ed
1:33:00
I
would
have
fired
me
before
you.
Ed,
do
you
have
anything?
No,
I'm
just
it's
crazy.
We've
done
this
as
long
as
we
have.
Like,
you
know,
Ashley
was
saying
earlier,
it
doesn't
feel
like
we've
done
this
last
what
a
couple
of
years.
It's
been
way
more.
So
it's
it's
cool.
It's
cool
to
reach
this
uh
this
milestone,
you
know.
But
yeah,
it's
it's
it's
cool.
Water.
Oh.
Badr
1:33:21
Trust
me,
I
don't.
I
mean,
do
we
have
another
two
hours?
Jesus
Christ.
I
will
just
open
a
scroll
up.
Yeah.
And
first
I
shall
thank
my
mother.
No,
I
will
um
I
will
keep
it
short
and
sweet
and
say
that
um
the
short
box
is
the
most
dedicated
I've
been
to
any
project
or
artistic
endeavor.
It
alone
has
given
me,
I
feel
like,
a
big
sense
of
purpose
in
life.
And
I
can't
say
more
than
that
without
tearing
up
and
crying
all
over
this
microphone.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
tunes
in
week
in,
week
out,
sends
me
a
message,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad.
Um,
I
would
have
never
expected
eight
years
ago
when
Wolf
told
me
about
doing
a
podcast
about
comic
books.
I
think
it
was
me.
I
would
have
never
expected
it
to
be
what
it's
become
now.
Um
and
I
want
to
thank
the
listeners
for
making
it
all
the
worthwhile.
And
especially
you
guys,
man.
Like
week
in,
week
out,
you
guys
are
taking
an
hour
or
two
out
of
your
lives
to
you
know
entertain,
you
know,
you
know,
not
only
close
friends,
but
also
randomly.
Um
not
much
though.
Enough
to
buy
like
enough
to
buy
a
hot
dog
at
7-Eleven.
Hot
dog
is
made
of
friendship.
The
short
box
encompasses
all
the
best
things
in
life.
It's
it
encompasses
my
friends,
it
encompasses
my
my
you
know,
comic
books
and
things
that
I
love.
And
uh
it's
it's
man,
I
I
yeah,
it's
probably
the
best
thing
of
my
life.
So
I
will
end
it
with
that.
See,
what
about
you?
Man,
thanks.
It's
all
give
the
shit.
I
waited
300
episodes.
Cesar
1:34:48
You
know,
you
don't
come
off
like
a
jerk
either.
That's
the
best
part.
That's
the
best
part.
No,
I
no,
no,
no,
you
said
your
piece.
You
set
the
tone.
Badr
1:34:56
See,
I
would
absolutely
love
to
hear
your
clothing
review.
Sure.
It's
been
a
good
run.
Cesar
1:35:00
Okay,
okay,
get
fun.
That's
what
I
have
to
say.
No,
just
thanks.
That's
it.
Thanks.
Stay
tuned.
We
got
a
lot
in
the
future.
The
best
is
yet
to
come.
Yeah,
serious.
Badr
1:35:09
My
arm
hurts
from
patting
myself
on
the
back
so
much.
I'm
gonna
go.
That's
my
arm.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
end
this
episode
and
uh
play
these
last
uh
voicemails
from
some
close
friends
and
family.
Thank
you
guys
for
tuning
in.
Love
you
guys.
Happy
300
Shortbox
Nation.

Ryan Paul Thompson
1:35:31
Huge
congratulations
to
the
Shore
Box
Podcast
on
hitting
300
episodes.
You
know,
that's
300
is
a
big
number,
but
what
I
think
is
even
more
impressive
is
that
over
300
episodes,
not
just
I,
but
I
think
the
entire
community
and
your
listeners
have
seen
this
team
become
even
more
passionate
and
more
in
love
with
what
they're
doing,
and
that
comes
across
in
every
single
episode.
You've
given
an
additional
bit
of
identity
to
Jacksonville
in
a
very
positive
way,
which
I
and
many,
many
of
us
are
grateful
for.
Congratulations,
and
uh
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
you
guys
do
in
the
future.

And

Episode
300
for
them
short
box
boys
and
girls.
You
know,
I'm
proud
of

I

I'm
super
proud
to
actually

Yaya
1:36:45
Good
girl,
yeah,
yeah.
First
of
all,
congratulations
to
the
short
box
on
their
300th
episode.
I
am
so
incredibly
proud
of
you
guys.
I
know
it
hasn't
been
easy
to
get
here,
but
we
appreciate
you
guys.
I've
learned
so
much
about
the
world
of
the
comics,
and
I
cannot
wait
to
keep
listening
to
300
more
episodes.
Congratulations,
guys!
Blake
1:37:09
What's
up,
short
box
crew?
It's
Blake.
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
you
guys
on
your
300th
episode.
Uh,
I
started
off
with
Podcast
of
Doom,
so
that
was
back
in
2017.
Also
glad
I've
gotten
to
know
you
guys
over
the
time.
So
it
does
feel
like
it's
more
than
a
podcast,
and
listen
to
a
bunch
of
friends
talk
about
stuff
that
I
like.
Hopefully,
we
get
to
600
so
I
can
leave
another
message.
Mas Appeal
1:37:29
Shortbox
crew,
what
up,
though?
You
know
it's
your
man
Matt
the
Hill.
I
know
I'm
late,
but
you
know
I'm
Latino,
man.
You
know,
we
ain't
on
time
for
nothing.
Want
to
congratulate
y'all,
man,
for
300
episodes.
Humongous
monumental.
Like,
that's
huge.
Shout
out
to
y'all,
shout
out
to
the
team,
shout
out
to
the
squad.
Y'all
keep
it
easy,
man.
Appreciate
y'all
always
putting
out
that
dope
culture,
man,
taking
care
of
hip-hop,
the
comics,
everything,
you
know
what
I'm
saying,
and
keeping
tracks
until
dope.
Willie Evans
1:37:58
Hello,
may
I
speak
to
the
short
box
300
episodes?
You
did
it!
Man,
Willie
Evans
Jr.
A
300.
May
300
more
be
bestowed
upon
you
by
the
gods
of
recorded
thousands.
I
want
to
be
there
for
the
10,000th
episode.
15,000,
you
did
it!
500,000
episodes
of
short
box.
How
did
we
get
here?
How
am
I
still
alive?
Tza Chun
1:38:22
Congratulations,
fellas.
Badr
1:38:25
Hey,
short
box.
It's
uh
Brad.
Yeah,
yeah.
Longtime
listener,
first
time
caller.
Just
calling
in
to
wish
you
all
uh
congratulations
on
the
300th
episode.
I'm
sure
everyone
in
a
mama
has
told
you
this
by
now,
but
thought
I'd
chime
in
on
the
celebration.
You
guys
have
accomplished
a
lot
this
year.
I
mean,
didn't
your
host
win
an
award
this
year?
Wow,
that
guy,
man.
I
mean,
he
really
carries
a
team.
I
don't
think
he
gets
enough
credit,
but
what
do
I
know,
right?
Just
my
opinion.
Underrated,
if
you
ask
me.
Anyway,
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
you
have
in
store
for
the
next
season.
I'm
sure
Bonter
is
going
to
take
it
to
another
level.
He's
probably
got
something
awesome
in
the
works,
and
um
sure
the
rest
of
you
guys
will
be
there
or
something.
Anyway,
happy
300th,
and
what's
that
awesome
sign
off
again?
Oh,
yeah,
that's
right.
Keep
it
geeky.
