Sean: 00:00:36

So I worked out today and, I can't lift my arms.

Sean: 00:00:40

my shoulders are on fire.

Sean: 00:00:41

I was like, yeah, let's do a podcast right after we record.

Sean: 00:00:44

I'll be okay.

Sean: 00:00:45

Sean: 00:00:46

I feel like absolute shit, wicked

Sean: 00:00:47

Sean: 00:00:48

Okay.

Josh: 00:01:20

we'll try and

Josh: 00:01:20

John: 00:02:08

Oh my God.

John: 00:02:09

What

John: 00:02:09

is wrong with you?

Sean: 00:02:12

Truly big, cold energy.

Josh: 00:02:14

That's right.

Josh: 00:02:14

That's right.

Josh: 00:02:15

That's my other podcast.

Josh: 00:02:16

If you don't know, now segues are difficult, but

Josh: 00:02:21

not if you do them terrible.

Josh: 00:02:22

today's episode is a little

Josh: 00:02:24

different than my normal, usually depressing history episodes.

Josh: 00:02:27

today I chose fun one fun one.

Josh: 00:02:29

Uh, we'll be doing a list of the seven strangest superhero.

Josh: 00:02:34

Why seven you might ask, because I enjoy alliterations and that's, that's

Josh: 00:02:38

all I needed to, to make my title.

Josh: 00:02:40

So, for this list, there were tons of potential superheroes I

Josh: 00:02:43

could have chosen comic books have been around for a very long time.

Josh: 00:02:47

And even the greatest comic book writers run out of ideas.

Josh: 00:02:50

But before we start do either of you have any superheroes in mind

Josh: 00:02:55

that could have made this list.

Sean: 00:02:57

Rag man.

Josh: 00:02:58

Rag man.

Josh: 00:02:59

Is that a real superhero?

Josh: 00:03:00

Like,

Sean: 00:03:02

He is real.

Josh: 00:03:04

okay.

Sean: 00:03:05

He is, he is a DC character.

Sean: 00:03:07

I used to watch arrow when arrow was good and a rag man

Sean: 00:03:11

was definitely a side character.

Sean: 00:03:12

He had a dope costume, but

Sean: 00:03:14

I think his powers were just making rags,

John: 00:03:17

Really

Josh: 00:03:18

Okay.

Sean: 00:03:19

he like shoots out rags out of his hands and like

Sean: 00:03:22

ties people

Sean: 00:03:22

up

Sean: 00:03:23

or he'll

Sean: 00:03:23

like disappear into rags or some

Sean: 00:03:26

shit like that.

Josh: 00:03:28

so just, just a worst Spiderman then.

Josh: 00:03:33

interesting, interesting.

Josh: 00:03:35

what about you, John?

Josh: 00:03:35

You got it.

John: 00:03:36

Man, you know what I am going to go because I love SpongeBob with a passion

John: 00:03:41

in such a wrong way.

John: 00:03:43

so I'm going to go with mermaid

John: 00:03:45

man and barnacle boy as the weirdest superheroes.

Josh: 00:03:48

Oh, that's fair.

Josh: 00:03:49

dementia written old people that can speak to fish.

Josh: 00:03:52

So that's a good one.

Josh: 00:03:55

Uh, well, those are good picks.

Josh: 00:03:57

Those could have easily made the list.

Josh: 00:03:59

Definitely rag man could be up there.

Josh: 00:04:01

but without further ado, let's jump into the seven strangest superheroes

Josh: 00:04:07

leaping into number seven.

Josh: 00:04:09

Slot is an ordinary man named Eugene Patillo Eugene's dad.

Josh: 00:04:14

Vincent was a failed inventor for most of his life.

Josh: 00:04:17

Until one day he managed to invent electrical powered

Josh: 00:04:20

coils using these coils.

Josh: 00:04:22

Vincent did the only sane thing he could and put them into a

Josh: 00:04:26

frog suit so that he could jump

Josh: 00:04:28

higher.

John: 00:04:30

Okay.

Sean: 00:04:30

Frog

Sean: 00:04:31

man.

Josh: 00:04:32

it is frog, man.

John: 00:04:35

I

Sean: 00:04:35

God damn it.

John: 00:04:36

actually had nothing

Josh: 00:04:39

Sean's going to know all these.

Sean: 00:04:42

I mean, I've never heard of this guy, but I was like, okay.

Sean: 00:04:44

A

Sean: 00:04:44

frog suit.

Sean: 00:04:45

I mean, superhero names.

Sean: 00:04:47

Aren't awfully

Sean: 00:04:47

creative.

Josh: 00:04:48

Yeah.

John: 00:04:49

His super powers are

John: 00:04:50

rebutting.

Sean: 00:04:51

Yeah.

Josh: 00:04:52

So, this one actually isn't frogman, cause this is a, his dad Vincent, who

Josh: 00:04:57

becomes a supervillain known as leap frog.

Sean: 00:04:59

Uh,

Sean: 00:05:00

there you go.

Josh: 00:05:01

This quickly resulted in

Josh: 00:05:02

him ending up in jail because in a world where Spiderman

Josh: 00:05:05

exists, leaping really high.

Josh: 00:05:07

Doesn't it compare?

John: 00:05:10

So this is this guy in the Spiderman

John: 00:05:11

verse or spidey verse, whatever.

Josh: 00:05:13

Yeah.

Josh: 00:05:14

He's in Marvel.

Josh: 00:05:15

Yeah.

Josh: 00:05:15

So he's not very powerful comparatively.

Sean: 00:05:18

Jesus.

Josh: 00:05:19

UGA distraught over his father, going to prison, found

Josh: 00:05:22

the costume and began to wear it.

Josh: 00:05:24

This time vowing to save people instead of harming them.

Josh: 00:05:28

In one instance, Eugene found himself battling alongside Spiderman and the human

Josh: 00:05:32

torch against the criminal known as speed.

Josh: 00:05:35

Demon can probably assume he's fast.

Josh: 00:05:37

I don't, I didn't look that up, but, after accidentally defeating

Josh: 00:05:41

the criminal, he decided to rename himself, the fabulous frogman.

John: 00:05:46

That's fab.

John: 00:05:46

Yeah.

John: 00:05:47

Okay.

Josh: 00:05:47

Yup.

Josh: 00:05:48

so wrapping this hero up, I want to give you a list of the fabulous

Josh: 00:05:51

frog man's abilities and weaknesses.

Josh: 00:05:53

So Eugene obviously had the suit, which allows him to leap

Josh: 00:05:57

Heights of six stories per jump.

Josh: 00:05:59

So pretty

Josh: 00:05:59

high,

John: 00:06:00

No bad.

John: 00:06:01

yeah, That's uh, that saves you an elevator ride.

Josh: 00:06:04

Yeah, that's true.

Josh: 00:06:05

Yeah.

Josh: 00:06:05

It's like

Josh: 00:06:07

a third of a skyscraper in New York.

Josh: 00:06:09

I don't

John: 00:06:09

Right.

John: 00:06:10

Yeah, that's pretty good.

John: 00:06:12

That's a rooftop bar, you know, easy access VIP.

Josh: 00:06:15

Yeah, it just leaps up there.

Josh: 00:06:17

It could be kind of cool.

Josh: 00:06:18

Um, however, it is actually a weakness because it states the Springs

Josh: 00:06:23

and frogman suit make it almost impossible to stay in a straight line.

Josh: 00:06:26

He has considerable navigational problems when moving.

Josh: 00:06:31

So not only does he have the dumbest power you can't even control

Josh: 00:06:34

and just kind of goes wherever

Josh: 00:06:37

it takes them.

Sean: 00:06:38

They moved his already shitty.

Sean: 00:06:42

Or

Sean: 00:06:43

you can jump high, but not straight.

Josh: 00:06:44

Yeah, exactly.

Josh: 00:06:45

So it's just, all over the place.

Sean: 00:06:48

Geez.

Josh: 00:06:49

now Eugene does have one more ability listed here, that

Josh: 00:06:53

absolutely ties his character

Josh: 00:06:54

off in a nice bow.

Josh: 00:06:56

It states that frogman can read American sign

Josh: 00:07:00

language.

John: 00:07:01

Respect, you know, that's,

John: 00:07:02

that's good.

John: 00:07:03

He's adaptable

John: 00:07:04

and okay.

Josh: 00:07:06

yeah.

Josh: 00:07:06

He, I don't know When that comes in

Josh: 00:07:08

handy, but he can do it.

Josh: 00:07:10

So

Josh: 00:07:11

that's, that's really all that matters.

Josh: 00:07:13

Right.

John: 00:07:13

When he's jumping straight at, when he's jumping

John: 00:07:15

up in the air, he'll know what floor he's on.

John: 00:07:17

At least.

Josh: 00:07:18

Yeah.

Josh: 00:07:19

If he runs into a deaf man,

John: 00:07:21

Yes.

Josh: 00:07:22

know which way to go.

Sean: 00:07:23

that that's an ability.

Sean: 00:07:24

That's just like a re like we could learn sign

Sean: 00:07:27

language.

Josh: 00:07:27

yeah.

Josh: 00:07:28

Yes, absolutely.

Josh: 00:07:29

We could also put the frogman costume on, so

Sean: 00:07:32

That's fair, but at least sign language is like a real thing.

Sean: 00:07:34

We could just do that.

Josh: 00:07:37

Yeah.

Josh: 00:07:38

I mean, listen, by the looks of this, like you could probably build this, it's

Josh: 00:07:43

just, it's not like it's a, it's just like

Josh: 00:07:45

a mini, like, you could just Brock at yourself up.

Josh: 00:07:47

You have no,

Josh: 00:07:48

no guidance or anything.

Josh: 00:07:50

You could

Josh: 00:07:50

build this.

Josh: 00:07:51

No problem.

Sean: 00:07:53

Good.

Sean: 00:07:53

Good.

John: 00:07:53

All I'm saying is like, I hope this guy never becomes a.

John: 00:07:56

Little character for a super Mario game.

John: 00:07:59

You know, how fucking frustrating would that be?

John: 00:08:00

Just jumping random spots and you never know where you're going to land.

John: 00:08:04

Jesus Christ.

Josh: 00:08:07

yeah, he is definitely a weird one.

Josh: 00:08:09

but that is the fabulous frog.

Josh: 00:08:12

He may not be the most powerful superhero, but he sure

Josh: 00:08:15

is on for our guests.

John: 00:08:17

Get the

John: 00:08:17

fuck out of here.

John: 00:08:18

Does.

Josh: 00:08:19

There's

Sean: 00:08:19

Yeah.

Josh: 00:08:19

many more puns.

Josh: 00:08:21

There's so many more

John: 00:08:22

out of here.

John: 00:08:24

I actually, I love you right now.

John: 00:08:28

I don't think I've ever felt this way

John: 00:08:29

about possibly another person I've

John: 00:08:31

never met in my life

Josh: 00:08:33

Oh,

John: 00:08:33

this moment.

Sean: 00:08:35

No.

John: 00:08:37

But I met her.

John: 00:08:38

I'm saying like, I've never met you in real

Josh: 00:08:39

true.

Josh: 00:08:40

That's true.

Josh: 00:08:41

I also started this off with leaping into number seven.

Josh: 00:08:45

Okay.

Josh: 00:08:45

Just to backtrack Putin.

John: 00:08:47

I'm so I'm so proud.

Josh: 00:08:49

Oh, you're going to

Josh: 00:08:50

be,

Josh: 00:08:50

you're going

Josh: 00:08:50

to hate it by the end of this because I've put ponds in a lot.

Josh: 00:08:54

Yeah.

John: 00:08:55

I love it

Sean: 00:08:56

Oh, no.

John: 00:08:58

was like, oh,

John: 00:08:59

when can I quit?

Josh: 00:09:01

Hey, you made me

Josh: 00:09:02

read porn twice.

Sean: 00:09:05

smut.

Sean: 00:09:06

We would say some

Sean: 00:09:07

months.

John: 00:09:08

Yeah, it's your turn to take it, Sean.

Sean: 00:09:10

Oh

Sean: 00:09:10

God.

John: 00:09:13

No lube,

Josh: 00:09:15

No lube, oh God.

Josh: 00:09:17

moving on to number six and five,

Josh: 00:09:19

We have a two for one special.

Josh: 00:09:21

This tone deaf do is part of the group known as the new

Josh: 00:09:24

warriors, a group of characters that were created by the writer, Daniel

Josh: 00:09:28

kibble Smith and Lucianne Luciano.

Josh: 00:09:32

VHO I hope that's how you pronounce it.

Josh: 00:09:34

Announced in March, 2020 when the world had a billion, other things to worry

Josh: 00:09:38

about the new warriors still managed to make headlines for being quote the

Josh: 00:09:42

worst idea Marvel has had since the second Thor movie and quote, that's

Josh: 00:09:46

not a quote from any news outlet.

Josh: 00:09:48

That's just a quote from myself.

Josh: 00:09:49

Who's still upset about that movie.

Josh: 00:09:51

now this group of five new superheroes, aren't all bad.

Josh: 00:09:54

first off you have screen time, a teenager who gets connected to

Josh: 00:09:58

the internet and basically acts as the new age, super genius.

Josh: 00:10:01

you have B negative, a goth teenager who essentially has vampire powers and there's

Josh: 00:10:06

trailblazer, a foster child , , whose magic backpack allows her to pull out

Josh: 00:10:10

random, useful objects to fight crime.

Sean: 00:10:12

A bag of holding.

John: 00:10:13

So a bootleg inspector

John: 00:10:15

gadget.

Josh: 00:10:16

Yeah, basically, basically,

Josh: 00:10:18

um,

Sean: 00:10:18

It's just grown up.

Sean: 00:10:19

Dora the Explorer.

Josh: 00:10:23

can you find swiper?

Josh: 00:10:27

so not terrible.

Josh: 00:10:28

There may be little ones uninspired or boring, but

Josh: 00:10:31

they're, they're fine superheroes.

Josh: 00:10:33

but it's not until we get to the final two superheroes in this group

Josh: 00:10:36

to find out why people were upset.

Josh: 00:10:38

the final two heroes happened to be twins.

Josh: 00:10:40

And one of the twins is Marvel's first non-binary character so far so good.

Josh: 00:10:45

The first twin can materialize snowflake, shaped, shirk, and

Josh: 00:10:49

projectiles to throw at their enemies.

Josh: 00:10:51

And the other can materialize pink force fields, but can't inhabit

Josh: 00:10:54

them and can only protect others.

Josh: 00:10:57

So not bad powers.

Josh: 00:10:58

And it's nice to see Marvel, including a non-binary character in there.

Josh: 00:11:02

However, the outrage came with the naming of the superheroes,

Josh: 00:11:06

which I have purposely left out.

Josh: 00:11:08

John or Sean.

Josh: 00:11:09

Can you think of what they would name these

Josh: 00:11:11

heroes to piss everyone off?

John: 00:11:13

So, so snowflake and shurikens right.

Josh: 00:11:16

Yeah.

John: 00:11:17

I'm going to go with Libby.

Sean: 00:11:19

what.

John: 00:11:21

I don't know.

John: 00:11:21

Cause it's,

John: 00:11:22

it's not, liberals are

John: 00:11:24

usually called snowflakes.

Josh: 00:11:26

Okay.

Josh: 00:11:27

John's on

Sean: 00:11:28

wouldn't it just, it might just be

Sean: 00:11:30

snowflake,

Sean: 00:11:31

right?

Josh: 00:11:32

Sean

Josh: 00:11:32

is

Josh: 00:11:32

correct.

Josh: 00:11:33

One of them, his name's

Josh: 00:11:34

snowflake.

Josh: 00:11:36

What is the other one?

Josh: 00:11:37

Named

Josh: 00:11:38

crates

Sean: 00:11:39

would be outrageous?

John: 00:11:40

Something about wall.

Josh: 00:11:43

No, but

John: 00:11:44

Please tell me something

John: 00:11:45

about, well, is it

John: 00:11:48

about walls?

Sean: 00:11:50

Pink is Pink

Sean: 00:11:51

in the name?

John: 00:11:53

I got nothing.

Sean: 00:11:54

I don't know.

Josh: 00:11:56

All right, I'll save you guys from the trouble.

Josh: 00:11:58

You got the first one snowflake, which I am very

Josh: 00:12:00

very

Josh: 00:12:00

pleased with.

Josh: 00:12:01

The other one is

Josh: 00:12:03

named safe space.

Sean: 00:12:05

Oh my God.

Sean: 00:12:08

Oh my God.

Josh: 00:12:11

Yeah.

Josh: 00:12:11

So it's pretty obvious why people were outraged.

John: 00:12:14

Sounds like a fucking, you know, a number you call.

John: 00:12:17

If you

John: 00:12:17

want to talk.

Sean: 00:12:19

I feel like liberals have a hard enough time as it is dealing

Sean: 00:12:22

with Fox news and all that stuff.

Sean: 00:12:24

So it's like, wow.

Sean: 00:12:26

Go out of your way to make it even more in

Sean: 00:12:29

your face and

Sean: 00:12:29

annoying,

Josh: 00:12:31

Yeah, no, that's exactly it.

Josh: 00:12:33

Like, why give, the people that are going to make fun of these characters,

Josh: 00:12:37

more ammo to make fun of them,

Josh: 00:12:39

Like, just give them cool superhero names

Josh: 00:12:41

and treat them like everyone else.

Josh: 00:12:43

Like, that's what they're asking for.

John: 00:12:45

don't give them, don't give them ammo.

John: 00:12:47

You know how much they love their damn

John: 00:12:48

guns.

John: 00:12:49

Shit.

Josh: 00:12:51

They love those things many were obviously outraged by the, characters,

Josh: 00:12:56

one tweet by a gigawatt Said, quote, look, I'm sure everyone at Marvel has

Josh: 00:13:03

the best of intentions, but by God, read the room on naming two black

Josh: 00:13:08

non-binary characters, snowflake and safe

Josh: 00:13:10

space and quote.

Josh: 00:13:11

And I think that

Josh: 00:13:12

wraps it up

John: 00:13:13

Oh, that's even worse.

Sean: 00:13:15

It's like dead on arrival with those names.

Sean: 00:13:18

And then the fact that you try to make them progressive heroes,

Sean: 00:13:22

which is good, like in story, make them progressive, but don't like,

Sean: 00:13:26

don't make it.

Sean: 00:13:27

So obvious or in your face, just make them

Sean: 00:13:31

cool.

Sean: 00:13:32

I don't know.

Sean: 00:13:32

I made

Sean: 00:13:33

it if it seems easy to just

Sean: 00:13:34

make cool characters, man.

Sean: 00:13:36

They're their power's already cool.

Josh: 00:13:38

They were doing so well with the other three,

Josh: 00:13:40

They had like a screen time be negative trailblazer.

Josh: 00:13:43

They're all pretty good names.

Josh: 00:13:45

Like

Josh: 00:13:45

they

Josh: 00:13:45

don't,

John: 00:13:45

fire names, right?

Josh: 00:13:46

yeah.

Josh: 00:13:47

They don't slap you in the face with it, but They're like new age terminology.

Josh: 00:13:52

I'm sure they

Josh: 00:13:52

could have found something else to call them.

Josh: 00:13:55

and it's just baffling that.

Josh: 00:13:56

in 2020, they still came out with that.

John: 00:13:59

Yeah.

John: 00:13:59

Done goofed Marvel.

John: 00:14:01

Yeah.

Josh: 00:14:01

They D they

Josh: 00:14:02

done goofed.

Josh: 00:14:03

I

Josh: 00:14:03

think they got cancer.

Josh: 00:14:04

So,

Sean: 00:14:05

Even with the other ones, it's

Sean: 00:14:06

like, damn, we're really running out of names

Sean: 00:14:09

here.

Sean: 00:14:09

Fucking a blood type as a vampire superhero.

Josh: 00:14:13

yeah.

Sean: 00:14:14

Jesus corral.

Josh: 00:14:16

it's better than frogman.

Josh: 00:14:17

We can all agree on

Josh: 00:14:18

that.

Sean: 00:14:19

That's fair.

Sean: 00:14:20

That's fair.

John: 00:14:21

They can at least control the direction that they go

John: 00:14:25

towards.

Sean: 00:14:26

Yeah.

Josh: 00:14:26

Yes.

Josh: 00:14:27

Fair enough.

Sean: 00:14:29

save space.

Sean: 00:14:30

What an awful name.

Sean: 00:14:33

I can't get over that

Josh: 00:14:35

Sean,

Josh: 00:14:35

can't get over

Josh: 00:14:36

that.

Josh: 00:14:36

Sean's more

Josh: 00:14:37

angry than the Twitter people.

Sean: 00:14:39

Uh,

John: 00:14:40

Sounds heated right now, bro.

Josh: 00:14:41

yeah.

Josh: 00:14:41

He's

Josh: 00:14:42

lifting his arms.

Josh: 00:14:42

He's so angry.

Josh: 00:14:43

I didn't think

Josh: 00:14:44

he could do that.

Sean: 00:14:46

I wish I could.

Sean: 00:14:47

I

John: 00:14:47

Like I

John: 00:14:48

got adrenaline back.

John: 00:14:49

Let's hit this fucking workout again

Sean: 00:14:52

Oh, hell no.

Sean: 00:14:52

Hell no.

John: 00:14:56

too far, too far,

Josh: 00:14:57

Yeah.

Josh: 00:14:58

now those two might be controversial, but it's time to move on to the most

Josh: 00:15:03

controversial here on this list.

Josh: 00:15:04

Number four, named

Josh: 00:15:06

Ashley Crawford , later, changing her name to Bertha Crawford.

Josh: 00:15:10

she was created by John.

Josh: 00:15:12

And, first appeared in the west coast Avengers.

Josh: 00:15:15

They're like the regular vendors, but have a surfer bro accent

Josh: 00:15:18

and are constantly smoking weed.

John: 00:15:20

Nice.

Sean: 00:15:21

Sign me up.

Josh: 00:15:24

at an early age Ashley, you discovered her mutant abilities to

Josh: 00:15:26

completely control the distribution of her body tissue.

Josh: 00:15:30

using this power, she created the quote unquote perfect physique and became the

Josh: 00:15:35

highest paid fashion model in the county.

Josh: 00:15:37

However, after a large cry for superheroes, Ashley Dondre,

Josh: 00:15:41

superhero, persona, big Bertha.

Josh: 00:15:44

You see, not only could Bertha alter , her appearance to be smaller,

Josh: 00:15:48

she could also make herself large, very large, along with her size.

Josh: 00:15:52

She also gained superhuman strength, being able to lift 50 tons at her peak.

Josh: 00:15:56

The strength also.

Josh: 00:15:57

Yeah, I know.

Josh: 00:15:58

How much did you lift today, Sean?

Sean: 00:16:00

Uh, 25

Sean: 00:16:01

pounds,

Josh: 00:16:02

So

John: 00:16:03

Repeat

John: 00:16:03

repeatedly though.

John: 00:16:05

Repeatedly.

Josh: 00:16:06

Yeah.

Sean: 00:16:06

Don hype me up, John don't.

Sean: 00:16:08

I don't lie to these

Sean: 00:16:09

people.

Josh: 00:16:11

is this isn't his peak.

Josh: 00:16:12

Okay guys.

Sean: 00:16:13

may not like it, but

Sean: 00:16:14

this is what peak

Sean: 00:16:15

masculinity looks like.

Josh: 00:16:18

yeah.

Josh: 00:16:18

the strength also translates to her legs, allowing her to drunk, great distances.

Josh: 00:16:24

And I believe

Josh: 00:16:25

her and frogmen would be very

Josh: 00:16:26

hoppy together.

Josh: 00:16:27

There we go and nailed

Josh: 00:16:28

it.

Sean: 00:16:28

God dammit.

John: 00:16:29

it.

John: 00:16:30

I love it.

John: 00:16:30

I'm just,

John: 00:16:31

I'm like a proud father right

Josh: 00:16:33

So father so far, they're mostly mostly frogged puns, but,

Sean: 00:16:37

Very heavy on the frog punts.

Josh: 00:16:39

Yeah.

Josh: 00:16:39

Yeah.

Josh: 00:16:40

That's the last frog one, I believe.

Josh: 00:16:41

no promises, but

Josh: 00:16:43

um, her extra mass also gives her a superhuman durability making

Josh: 00:16:47

her resistant to high caliber bullets, extreme temperatures

Josh: 00:16:50

and falling from great Heights.

Josh: 00:16:52

the controversy doesn't come until Bertha has to revert back to her regular form

Josh: 00:16:58

in order for her to return to normal.

Josh: 00:17:00

She must expel the access mass.

Josh: 00:17:03

Some of, you will maybe see where this is going

Josh: 00:17:06

to Nope.

Josh: 00:17:08

Uh, to expel this mats, she must induce vomiting.

Josh: 00:17:12

That's right.

Josh: 00:17:13

Every woman with body dysmorphia, there is a superhero that

Josh: 00:17:16

reinforces your worst fears.

Sean: 00:17:18

Now, uh, bulemia superhero.

Josh: 00:17:22

yeah.

Josh: 00:17:22

Understand what a terrible monster came up with this and.

Josh: 00:17:26

Marvel let this pass, but it.

Josh: 00:17:29

is

Josh: 00:17:29

just awful.

Josh: 00:17:31

Like what a terrible, terrible way to

Josh: 00:17:34

like, show body

Josh: 00:17:36

dysmorphia like that it gets

Josh: 00:17:38

awful.

John: 00:17:39

Right.

John: 00:17:40

That's super tone.

John: 00:17:40

Deaf.

Josh: 00:17:41

Oh, absolutely.

Josh: 00:17:42

I mean it's in the eighties, so absolutely.

Josh: 00:17:44

But still it's it is bad.

John: 00:17:46

Oh, yeah.

Sean: 00:17:46

up until there.

Sean: 00:17:47

I was pretty in like big birthdays, even.

Sean: 00:17:50

I think it's a, it's a, it's sort of a cool name.

Sean: 00:17:53

It's better than frogman or

Sean: 00:17:55

snowflake, but it's

Sean: 00:17:56

like, why would you make a supermodel superhero that also has to throw

Sean: 00:18:00

up

Sean: 00:18:00

like, nah,

Josh: 00:18:02

Yeah,

John: 00:18:03

that's kind of like the stigma too, right.

John: 00:18:04

Of a lot of supermodels.

John: 00:18:05

like they suffer that,

John: 00:18:07

uh, type

Josh: 00:18:08

Yeah.

Josh: 00:18:08

It's, it's not, it's not hard to see where they got

Josh: 00:18:11

their inspiration from, which is terrible.

Josh: 00:18:13

Um,

John: 00:18:14

Fucking big bird, big birds.

John: 00:18:15

That sounds like a character

John: 00:18:16

from orange is the new black.

Josh: 00:18:19

true.

Josh: 00:18:19

Actually, I didn't think about that.

John: 00:18:21

Yeah.

Sean: 00:18:21

oh man.

Josh: 00:18:23

Yeah.

Josh: 00:18:23

so like, if I were to

Josh: 00:18:24

remake this character, but like just

Josh: 00:18:26

hypothetically, if you were to bring it into the, the, today, like today's

Josh: 00:18:30

standards, I would just make them be a plus size model who is comfortable

Josh: 00:18:34

in their own skin and who just owns bad guys with their super strength.

Josh: 00:18:38

Like, not that hard.

Josh: 00:18:40

pretty easy, right?

John: 00:18:41

That makes sense.

John: 00:18:42

Yeah.

John: 00:18:42

it makes perfect sense.

Sean: 00:18:43

The body transforming is pretty cool.

Sean: 00:18:45

Like you could look, however you.

Josh: 00:18:47

Yeah.

John: 00:18:48

Yeah.

Josh: 00:18:49

Listen, if she didn't have to expel like that,

Josh: 00:18:52

I think it would be like if she just could morph back

Josh: 00:18:54

into whatever she wanted to look like, and that would be fine.

Josh: 00:18:56

I think

Sean: 00:18:57

exactly.

Josh: 00:18:58

it still kind of feeds into The body dysmorphia thing, but it's

Josh: 00:19:01

Like it's way less, way less tone

Josh: 00:19:03

deaf.

Sean: 00:19:04

But

John: 00:19:05

I mean, growing up my frigging, I don't know if any of you guys used

John: 00:19:08

to watch dragon ball Z, but when Mazda and boo was around, when he was like

John: 00:19:11

the big jolly one, he was my favorite.

John: 00:19:13

And I'm just like, damn, that looks like me.

John: 00:19:15

When I take a shower, like Jesus, like that's, I can relate to this full,

John: 00:19:19

like he eats everything and he's just

John: 00:19:21

happy all the time.

Josh: 00:19:22

Yeah.

Josh: 00:19:23

Nothing wrong with

Josh: 00:19:23

that.

John: 00:19:24

nothing wrong with it at all.

Josh: 00:19:25

Anyway, well, we'll move on from that terrible character.

Josh: 00:19:29

because that was a, that was definitely a big problem.

Sean: 00:19:35

Was that another one

John: 00:19:36

I'll let that one

John: 00:19:37

slide.

John: 00:19:38

I'll let

Josh: 00:19:38

once a week, one day.

Josh: 00:19:40

Thanks, John.

Josh: 00:19:41

Thanks as the king of puns, I appreciate, um, we're going to

Josh: 00:19:46

start moving into the weird ones.

Josh: 00:19:47

Now, as we move into number three.

Josh: 00:19:51

Tenzin chem Was born on the planet.

Josh: 00:19:53

Bismol.

Josh: 00:19:54

Yes.

Josh: 00:19:54

Like Pepto-Bismol

John: 00:19:56

Hmm,

Josh: 00:19:57

why in a minute.

Sean: 00:19:59

Oh,

Sean: 00:19:59

no.

John: 00:20:03

is he paying?

Josh: 00:20:04

uh, no, he's just

Josh: 00:20:06

regular.

Josh: 00:20:06

You look like a

John: 00:20:07

Okay.

Josh: 00:20:08

regular human looking guy.

John: 00:20:10

I was going to say that was a pretty good transition from Masha and

John: 00:20:12

boots, something

John: 00:20:13

pink, but

Josh: 00:20:14

God damn it.

Josh: 00:20:14

I wish,

John: 00:20:16

dammit.

Josh: 00:20:16

uh,

Sean: 00:20:17

Okay.

Josh: 00:20:18

negatives of Bismol found that microbes on their food made it inevitable.

Josh: 00:20:23

so naturally the people evolve the ability to eat all matter, except of

Josh: 00:20:27

course the microbes on their food, because that's how comic books work.

Josh: 00:20:31

Tenzel didn't have a great start.

Josh: 00:20:33

As a superhero though, shortly after being accepted into the planet's

Josh: 00:20:36

political system, he saved the universe by eating the indestructable device,

Josh: 00:20:40

known as the miracle machine, causing him to go insane while he was insane.

Josh: 00:20:46

He basically enslaved his entire planet and became a multimedia Sullivan.

Josh: 00:20:50

When he was cured, he didn't become much better of a person as he used the planet's

Josh: 00:20:54

tax funds to take frequent trips to

Josh: 00:20:56

earth and other planets where he joined the Legion of

Josh: 00:20:59

superheroes and , became known as

Josh: 00:21:01

matter eater lad.

John: 00:21:04

This is Jeffrey Bezos.

Josh: 00:21:06

I think this is what

Josh: 00:21:07

he plans on

Josh: 00:21:08

becoming.

Josh: 00:21:08

Yes.

John: 00:21:09

Shit.

John: 00:21:11

We gotta brace ourselves.

Josh: 00:21:12

I mean, at this point he's a good guy.

Josh: 00:21:15

he's using his powers for good.

Josh: 00:21:17

He's just not a good person

John: 00:21:20

Yeah.

Josh: 00:21:20

And,

Josh: 00:21:21

speaking of powers is here's a breakdown of matter matter uter lads powers.

Josh: 00:21:26

he has the power of superhuman digestion, giving him the ability

Josh: 00:21:30

to consume an unlimited amount of matter, solid liquid or

Josh: 00:21:34

gas.

Josh: 00:21:34

And

John: 00:21:35

That's what I

Josh: 00:21:35

he.

Josh: 00:21:37

That's true.

Josh: 00:21:38

Then you could do all the

Josh: 00:21:39

tech talks in one

John: 00:21:40

I can fucking eat everything.

John: 00:21:42

Oh my gosh.

John: 00:21:43

That'd be great.

Josh: 00:21:44

he wants hollowed out an entire meteor in one minute.

Sean: 00:21:47

Geez.

Josh: 00:21:49

Yeah.

Josh: 00:21:49

A large meteor too.

Josh: 00:21:50

Not just a regular size.

Josh: 00:21:52

he's getting the big ones.

Josh: 00:21:54

Along with this power has taste buds are also able to instantly

Josh: 00:21:58

analyze the composition of anything he shoves in his mouth.

Josh: 00:22:02

He has super digestive enzymes allowing him to break down hard objects like steel,

Josh: 00:22:07

and he has a super speed metabolism

Josh: 00:22:10

allowing him to metabolize food instantly.

Sean: 00:22:13

That's it.

Sean: 00:22:14

That's the one

Sean: 00:22:15

I want gave me that shit, bro.

John: 00:22:17

I'm going back to

John: 00:22:18

SpongeBob, man.

John: 00:22:19

That's that's that's that's

John: 00:22:20

plankton his wife right there.

Josh: 00:22:22

Oh, true.

Josh: 00:22:23

Yeah.

Josh: 00:22:23

Damn.

Sean: 00:22:24

Wait, I mean, I might not be super up to date

Sean: 00:22:27

on SpongeBob, but I thought his wife was a

Sean: 00:22:29

computer.

John: 00:22:31

Yeah.

John: 00:22:32

But the, the white, remember that episode where he stole the Krabby Patty,

John: 00:22:36

and then he dumped the Krabby Patty, and then he was able to analyze it.

John: 00:22:40

And it was like plankton.

Sean: 00:22:42

Oh,

Sean: 00:22:42

yeah,

John: 00:22:44

now.

John: 00:22:44

That's that mother fucker right here.

Josh: 00:22:48

only John would be able

Josh: 00:22:49

to pull that one out how much SpongeBob

John: 00:22:51

Let me just,

John: 00:22:53

I know you guys can't see this right now, but this

John: 00:22:55

is my pen holder.

John: 00:22:57

It's doodle Bob.

Sean: 00:22:59

Jesus.

John: 00:23:00

That's how much I love SpongeBob.

Josh: 00:23:02

that's awesome.

Josh: 00:23:03

I love that.

John: 00:23:05

I was going to ask my wife to have this shit ring on my ring.

John: 00:23:07

Finger is a tattoo, but she

John: 00:23:08

declined.

Josh: 00:23:09

Oh, damn, that's

Josh: 00:23:11

unfortunate.

Sean: 00:23:12

it looked like he was holding your ring when you were wearing

Sean: 00:23:14

it.

John: 00:23:14

No, I don't wear my, I don't wear my ring.

John: 00:23:16

Like our wedding rings.

John: 00:23:17

I was going to say like, Hey, you, you love SpongeBob too.

John: 00:23:20

Let me have the doodle Bob as my, my ring.

Sean: 00:23:22

Holy

Sean: 00:23:23

moly.

Josh: 00:23:24

She didn't

John: 00:23:25

Yeah, she

Josh: 00:23:25

day.

John: 00:23:25

happy.

John: 00:23:26

She didn't go for it.

John: 00:23:27

I think she was okay

John: 00:23:28

with me, like having the one true ring as

John: 00:23:30

my wedding band.

John: 00:23:31

So, I think that that was

John: 00:23:32

the max.

Josh: 00:23:33

that's that's what I think that's about as nerdy

Josh: 00:23:35

as you can go.

Josh: 00:23:35

So

John: 00:23:36

Yeah.

Josh: 00:23:37

you're there.

Josh: 00:23:39

Um, but

Josh: 00:23:40

yeah, that is matter.

Josh: 00:23:41

Eater lad, definitely strange.

Josh: 00:23:44

It is a strange power and he is a strange guy, but, it's time to get into the

Josh: 00:23:50

real strange, I hope you were all able to digest that last superhero, but we are on

Josh: 00:23:55

to number two.

John: 00:23:56

Josh.

John: 00:23:56

That was a Bismal.

Sean: 00:23:59

What Khamenei X you can't see about both John and I were shaking our heads.

Sean: 00:24:03

Very, very hard.

Josh: 00:24:05

Was it, was it Pepto?

John: 00:24:08

Josh didn't catch my, yes,

Josh: 00:24:10

caught it.

Josh: 00:24:11

Don't worry.

Josh: 00:24:14

. now this hero is just wild.

Josh: 00:24:17

, to start it off, do you guys know the things that you

Josh: 00:24:20

drive on?

Josh: 00:24:21

Do you know what they're called?

Sean: 00:24:22

roads.

John: 00:24:23

Cars Roads

Josh: 00:24:25

Correct.

Josh: 00:24:25

Roads shot cars.

Josh: 00:24:27

You don't drive on cars.

Sean: 00:24:29

Okay.

John: 00:24:30

Oh,

John: 00:24:31

yes.

Josh: 00:24:32

yes.

Josh: 00:24:33

Roads or more accurately, uh, street.

Josh: 00:24:36

Created by grant Morrison and Brendan McCarthy, Danny.

Josh: 00:24:39

The street

Josh: 00:24:40

first appeared in doom patrol.

Josh: 00:24:42

Their name is a play on the French female impersonator.

Josh: 00:24:48

Sean knows this.

John: 00:24:48

Sean knows this.

John: 00:24:49

Yes.

Sean: 00:24:50

I watched, I watched the show and then I was like,

Sean: 00:24:53

what the fuck is happening?

Sean: 00:24:58

That whole show is what the fuck has happened.

Josh: 00:25:02

Sean, Sean knows what's going on.

Josh: 00:25:04

their name is a play on a French female impersonator, Danny LaRue, LaRue,

Josh: 00:25:09

obviously translating to the street.

Josh: 00:25:11

streets are usually genderless.

Josh: 00:25:13

However, Danny is described as being male and trans.

Josh: 00:25:17

So I'm not a hundred percent sure if that means Danny transitioned to male or

Josh: 00:25:21

female, and I'm not sure how that works.

Josh: 00:25:24

Concrete with no genitalia, but, we're going to skip all that.

Josh: 00:25:28

I do know that Danny's sidewalks are usually lined with hyper-masculine

Josh: 00:25:32

stores like gun shops and sporting goods, but are decorated with

Josh: 00:25:36

frilly pink curtains and lace.

Josh: 00:25:38

So I'm pretty sure that's problematic.

Josh: 00:25:41

but we'll skip all that.

Sean: 00:25:41

kind of, kind of stereotypical,

Sean: 00:25:44

but

Josh: 00:25:45

not great probably, but, it's a street.

Josh: 00:25:48

I don't know how mad

Josh: 00:25:48

you can get about it.

Sean: 00:25:51

okay.

Josh: 00:25:51

so Danny is slow to anger, but when they do become

Josh: 00:25:56

mad, it is a relentless rage.

Josh: 00:25:58

And I didn't see this written anywhere, but I hope they called it road rage.

Josh: 00:26:01

Uh,

Sean: 00:26:03

what have you

Sean: 00:26:03

done?

Sean: 00:26:05

What have you done, John?

Josh: 00:26:08

Danny powers consists of molecular reconstruction once turning

Josh: 00:26:12

themselves into an entire planet.

Josh: 00:26:14

Danny

Josh: 00:26:15

can re reconstruct itself, an infinite amount of times

Josh: 00:26:18

making them indestructable.

Josh: 00:26:20

They are also able to teleport, which kind of makes the whole road thing.

Josh: 00:26:26

Obsolete, but,

John: 00:26:29

Okay.

Josh: 00:26:29

Danny however is an extremely popular character

Josh: 00:26:32

within the LGBTQ plus community.

Josh: 00:26:35

And in a 2020 interview, the creator Morrison said, quote, back in the day,

Josh: 00:26:39

when he was created in the late 1980s, we didn't have a term like gender queer

Josh: 00:26:43

or non-binary, they just didn't exist.

Josh: 00:26:46

There were no names.

Josh: 00:26:47

And I think that it's really good now that the characters like that can

Josh: 00:26:50

show up and be slotted into the world.

Josh: 00:26:52

We live in suddenly Danny's gender queer and it makes it more sense.

Josh: 00:26:57

It has something to say to the society That we're living in now, where people

Josh: 00:27:01

in the margins have been able to get into the center of it more and quote,

Josh: 00:27:05

and I think that's, it's a beautiful quote to leave Danny the street on.

John: 00:27:09

That is.

Josh: 00:27:10

Do they do anything in the show?

Josh: 00:27:12

Sean?

Sean: 00:27:12

Uh, has this been like a year and a half since I, I watched

Sean: 00:27:15

it, but I feel like he like showed up in the town they were in.

Sean: 00:27:20

And then he gave like, certain there's like a, a gay character on the show.

Sean: 00:27:25

And I think he was able to like, come out with the help of Danny this.

Josh: 00:27:30

oh, nice.

Sean: 00:27:30

it was a year and a half ago.

Sean: 00:27:31

I'm sure there was like, you know, cool stuff that happened.

Sean: 00:27:35

Like, it was a very emotional episode, but

Sean: 00:27:37

like, that's what I remember.

Sean: 00:27:40

But again, don't quote me on

Sean: 00:27:41

that, you know,

John: 00:27:43

Where's this from what show?

Sean: 00:27:45

uh, doom patrol.

John: 00:27:46

Oh, okay.

John: 00:27:47

Gotcha.

Sean: 00:27:47

Yeah.

Sean: 00:27:48

It's on HBO.

Josh: 00:27:49

yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: 00:27:50

I've, I've always wanted to watch that show, but never got around to it.

Josh: 00:27:53

Maybe I will,

Josh: 00:27:53

now that

Josh: 00:27:54

I know one of the characters.

Sean: 00:27:56

It's good.

Sean: 00:27:57

The whole show is super fucking weird.

Sean: 00:28:00

And I feel like I had to watch it like rewatch some parts, cause I

Sean: 00:28:03

didn't know what was happening, but that's good.

Josh: 00:28:05

Nice.

John: 00:28:06

you were going to say, you have to watch it

John: 00:28:07

like pineapple express, but I thought you were going to say, I thought

John: 00:28:11

you were going to go that route.

John: 00:28:12

I was

John: 00:28:12

like really now.

Sean: 00:28:14

Pineapple express, you know, I don't know if I've ever watched them more than

Sean: 00:28:18

once.

John: 00:28:19

Gasp,

Josh: 00:28:20

Yes.

Sean: 00:28:22

off topic, but I feel like I haven't watched a lot of

Sean: 00:28:24

movies more

Sean: 00:28:25

than

Sean: 00:28:25

once.

Sean: 00:28:26

There's just too

Sean: 00:28:26

many movies.

Josh: 00:28:27

yeah.

Josh: 00:28:27

I don't know who

Josh: 00:28:27

can do that.

Josh: 00:28:28

I there's maybe one movie I've watched multiple

Josh: 00:28:31

times, but

Josh: 00:28:32

it's interstellar.

Josh: 00:28:33

I love

Josh: 00:28:34

interstellar but

John: 00:28:35

oh,

John: 00:28:35

interstellar was great.

Josh: 00:28:37

Great

Sean: 00:28:38

Like, I'll say I'll, I'll watch scenes.

Sean: 00:28:40

Like I've seen scenes over and over again, but like a whole ass

Sean: 00:28:43

movie, very rare, except natural Libra thing.

Sean: 00:28:46

I've

Sean: 00:28:46

seen naturally very like 40 times, which might explain some

Sean: 00:28:50

things about me, but who knows?

John: 00:28:52

I just thought this tick.

John: 00:28:53

Talk about

John: 00:28:53

interstellar, about a guest, one of the scenes in a planet with the,

John: 00:28:57

with the music, every single tick is kind of like resembling like a

John: 00:29:01

year.

John: 00:29:01

Like, uh, I don't know if it was like a year or a few

John: 00:29:03

years.

John: 00:29:04

And I was like, man, that is

John: 00:29:05

genius.

John: 00:29:05

seven

John: 00:29:06

years.

Josh: 00:29:06

Yeah.

Josh: 00:29:08

Yeah.

Josh: 00:29:08

I I've watched it many times and read many, many

Josh: 00:29:11

IMDV facts about it

John: 00:29:13

I was like, wow, that's crazy detail right there.

Josh: 00:29:16

Yeah.

Sean: 00:29:16

Is that the one with Dave?

Josh: 00:29:18

Yeah.

Josh: 00:29:18

Where

Josh: 00:29:18

he's the bad guy?

Sean: 00:29:20

Whoa,

Sean: 00:29:20

spoiler.

John: 00:29:22

Don't spoil it for me.

Josh: 00:29:24

He might be thinking the Martian though.

Josh: 00:29:25

That's what I'm thinking.

Sean: 00:29:27

I don't know.

Sean: 00:29:27

I've never seen either one.

John: 00:29:29

That's

Josh: 00:29:29

God damn it.

John: 00:29:31

right before, uh, interstellar.

Josh: 00:29:33

Yeah.

Josh: 00:29:35

Anyway,

John: 00:29:35

He was a shit.

John: 00:29:36

When he was talking to his daughter, I was like, wait, I'm not smart enough for

John: 00:29:39

this slow down.

Josh: 00:29:42

John had to rewatch it just to understand

John: 00:29:45

Yes.

Josh: 00:29:47

all right.

Josh: 00:29:47

Back to back to superheroes, we're on the number one guys.

Josh: 00:29:50

And, uh, I can not preface this one enough by saying this one is fucking weird.

Josh: 00:29:55

like, like a goddamn road was behind this guy.

Josh: 00:29:58

So, um,

Josh: 00:30:02

this hero has many different iterations, but the one.

Josh: 00:30:05

we were focused on was created by Garth Ennis and John McCain.

Josh: 00:30:09

McCray, whatever.

Josh: 00:30:11

his name is unknown, but his origin story starts as an average businessman

Josh: 00:30:16

who had a good job and a loving family.

Josh: 00:30:19

One day, while he was in an antique store, he was possessed by a

Josh: 00:30:22

certain type of welding equipment.

Josh: 00:30:25

Can you guys guess what this special welding equipment allowed him to weld?

Sean: 00:30:29

Uh, uh, road.

Josh: 00:30:34

Him and Danny are best friends.

Sean: 00:30:37

Yeah.

Josh: 00:30:39

Nope.

Josh: 00:30:40

Um,

Josh: 00:30:41

you guys could probably guess a million times, but in the script I wrote, sorry,

Josh: 00:30:44

none of you are correct, because I knew you would never get this.

Josh: 00:30:49

the possessed welding equipment allowed our hero to weld dog.

Josh: 00:30:56

That's right.

Josh: 00:30:57

I didn't misspeak.

Josh: 00:30:58

Uh, this man, literally welds dogs to things

Sean: 00:31:02

Like, are they like robot or he

Josh: 00:31:05

No, they're

Sean: 00:31:06

like robe organic.

Josh: 00:31:09

organic dogs

John: 00:31:11

like

John: 00:31:13

pedal bull Woodford dogs.

Josh: 00:31:15

yeah, like your dogs.

John: 00:31:17

I just gotten a dope doll.

Josh: 00:31:22

It is,

Josh: 00:31:22

yeah, it's weird.

Sean: 00:31:25

When does that help anybody?

Josh: 00:31:27

well, I don't actually get into any of the stories, but I

Josh: 00:31:29

was reading on it.

Josh: 00:31:30

There was one story where he was, I believe on the space station and he

Josh: 00:31:36

had to weld, two parts of the space

Josh: 00:31:38

station together.

Josh: 00:31:39

So he used his dogs and, and welded space station together.

Sean: 00:31:45

Wait, he used his dogs for a while.

Josh: 00:31:48

I don't know.

Sean: 00:31:52

Okay.

Josh: 00:31:54

so he is, he is a DC character

Josh: 00:31:58

and has been on, iterations of the suicide squad and his powers are as stated.

Josh: 00:32:04

he has dog welding abilities, which.

Josh: 00:32:07

Pretty self-explanatory, but I chose this version of dog

Josh: 00:32:12

welder because he also has a psychic connection and can speak

Josh: 00:32:15

through the dogs as if they are

Josh: 00:32:17

puppets.

John: 00:32:20

I mean again, that's not too bad of a power.

John: 00:32:23

I'd fuck with

John: 00:32:23

that valor.

Sean: 00:32:24

Yeah.

Sean: 00:32:25

Talking to animals

Sean: 00:32:25

is cool.

Josh: 00:32:27

not talking to them.

Josh: 00:32:27

He's talking through them like a, like a medium

Josh: 00:32:32

cause he's mute.

John: 00:32:34

So the dogs are like, oh

Josh: 00:32:36

dogs are talking.

Sean: 00:32:39

wait, do the dogs like actually,

Sean: 00:32:41

like they like

Sean: 00:32:42

TalkTalk are there.

Sean: 00:32:43

Talking dog.

Josh: 00:32:44

Um,

John: 00:32:45

from family guy

John: 00:32:46

talk.

Sean: 00:32:47

Yeah.

Josh: 00:32:47

Yeah.

Josh: 00:32:48

I think, he's

Josh: 00:32:49

Brian from family guy making them talk otherwise, what would the

Josh: 00:32:51

point be in my,

Josh: 00:32:53

I didn't read the comic all the way.

Josh: 00:32:55

I

Josh: 00:32:55

don't know.

Josh: 00:32:56

but yeah.

Josh: 00:32:57

Yeah.

Josh: 00:32:58

The only question I have to

Josh: 00:32:59

ask is who hurt you?

Josh: 00:33:01

Garth.

Josh: 00:33:01

Ennis.

Josh: 00:33:02

And

Josh: 00:33:02

why are you so doggone terrible.

Sean: 00:33:08

Oh brother.

John: 00:33:10

up on a canine

John: 00:33:11

out of 10.

Josh: 00:33:11

Hey, there we go.

John: 00:33:13

Yes.

Josh: 00:33:15

Sean hates every bit of this.

Josh: 00:33:16

We will convert you one day.

Sean: 00:33:19

I'm fucking out of here.

Josh: 00:33:22

So that is

Josh: 00:33:23

my list of seven strange

Josh: 00:33:25

superheroes.

Josh: 00:33:26

we are not done yet,

Josh: 00:33:27

but if you want to tweet at us and let us know your favorite

Josh: 00:33:30

or least favorite, please do.

Josh: 00:33:31

but after the short ad break, we will present our

Josh: 00:33:33

own strange superheroes and we will see who can come up with the weirdest one.

Josh: 00:33:38

So stay

Josh: 00:33:38

tuned and enjoy some ads.

Josh: 00:33:41

All right.

Josh: 00:33:41

We are back.

Josh: 00:33:43

I hope you didn't miss us.

Josh: 00:33:44

And I hope you bought some

Josh: 00:33:45

products from our lovely sponsors or not.

Josh: 00:33:48

I don't know.

Josh: 00:33:48

I don't

Josh: 00:33:48

know.

Sean: 00:33:49

Do we have those?

Josh: 00:33:51

well I hope we have

John: 00:33:51

That's all.

John: 00:33:52

That's all.

John: 00:33:52

That's all.

John: 00:33:52

Josh right

John: 00:33:53

there.

John: 00:33:53

Me and Shawna were like, you get paid,

Josh: 00:33:57

all right.

Josh: 00:33:57

Yeah.

Josh: 00:33:58

So we are going to move on to our own

Josh: 00:34:00

weird superheroes.

Josh: 00:34:01

John.

Josh: 00:34:02

I gave you and Shawn homework

Josh: 00:34:05

of coming up with your own weird superpowers and, and superhero.

Josh: 00:34:09

what

Josh: 00:34:10

did you come up with?

John: 00:34:12

All right.

John: 00:34:12

I guess I got the floor on this one.

John: 00:34:15

It's not really a weird superpower, but hearing all these weird.

John: 00:34:18

So that now I would like to have the ability to control all of them.

John: 00:34:23

And with that, I am wanting to borrow the power from Kilgrave from Jessica

John: 00:34:30

Jones, or they call them purple man.

John: 00:34:33

And his abilities is pretty much have the power to convince,

John: 00:34:38

manipulate, and control others.

John: 00:34:39

And I would like to control all these quote unquote superheroes.

John: 00:34:44

I don't know if I'd use it for good, but imagine the wreckage that I can do,

John: 00:34:50

if I can have frogman just the middle of Manhattan or New York or some shit.

John: 00:34:54

Right.

John: 00:34:55

And he's just hopping the fucking around all over the place, landing on

John: 00:34:58

God who knows

John: 00:34:59

rooftop,

John: 00:35:01

just the ship.

Josh: 00:35:02

You would, be a chaotic

John: 00:35:03

This is the shit the hill

John: 00:35:04

cause.

John: 00:35:05

And, and I kinda thought of it.

John: 00:35:07

Because like I am a manipulative

John: 00:35:09

type of person.

John: 00:35:10

I would name my superhero Gaslight.

Josh: 00:35:14

Oh,

Sean: 00:35:15

Sorry.

Josh: 00:35:16

Nice you fit right in with safe space and

Josh: 00:35:18

snowflake.

John: 00:35:19

Yes.

Sean: 00:35:21

goddammit.

John: 00:35:22

And I'm going to rename fucking snowflake to Libby.

John: 00:35:26

I'm like snowflake, your name is Libby now.

John: 00:35:29

And she will

John: 00:35:29

have, they'll have to.

John: 00:35:31

agree.

Josh: 00:35:31

Yes, they will have to.

Josh: 00:35:34

That's a pretty dope power.

Josh: 00:35:36

Yeah, I, I.

Josh: 00:35:38

Could easily see you going the other way with not being a

Josh: 00:35:40

hero, being a villain instead,

Josh: 00:35:42

but, I feel you just get bored every once in a

Josh: 00:35:44

while and you switch back and forth.

John: 00:35:46

Yeah, well, you know, I can also like convince a what's that

John: 00:35:49

guy's name with the super, I just have

John: 00:35:52

abilities.

Josh: 00:35:53

eater

Josh: 00:35:53

lad.

John: 00:35:54

Yeah, that guy.

John: 00:35:55

So I'll pretty much like, you know, go to all like the five-star restaurants

John: 00:35:59

and just to be like, Hey, this meal is

John: 00:36:00

for free and then we're just gonna run them dry and we'll just eat everything

John: 00:36:03

together.

John: 00:36:04

He'll be like my buffet buddy.

Josh: 00:36:06

You'll run business, run, run restaurants out of

Josh: 00:36:09

business.

John: 00:36:10

That's how well actually I'll use his business prowess, you know?

John: 00:36:14

And then just like maybe, you know,

John: 00:36:16

I can that's.

John: 00:36:17

That will be

John: 00:36:17

my

John: 00:36:17

grift.

John: 00:36:18

Just eat.

Josh: 00:36:20

Hey, I'm the

Josh: 00:36:20

grift guy here.

Josh: 00:36:21

Oh, I guess I took your pun thing so you can take my grip

John: 00:36:23

That's true.

John: 00:36:23

So I can steal yours

Josh: 00:36:25

It's a

Josh: 00:36:25

good

Sean: 00:36:25

always switching gimmicks,

Josh: 00:36:27

We're

John: 00:36:28

I'm slowly becoming Josh.

Josh: 00:36:30

and I'm becoming John.

John: 00:36:31

You see what I did?

John: 00:36:32

Like I'm just like, you know what?

John: 00:36:33

I will be a cult leader to all these

John: 00:36:35

superheroes that are useless.

Great review.

Josh: 00:36:51

All right.

Josh: 00:36:52

Uh, Sean, what did you come up with?

Josh: 00:36:55

And do you think you'd be able to take John in

Josh: 00:36:57

a fight?

Sean: 00:36:58

I wish I came up with a weirder superpower, but mine's pretty basic.

Sean: 00:37:02

I pretty much would do like control time.

Sean: 00:37:06

But just to make it not too Opie, I would do like

Sean: 00:37:10

only controlled

Sean: 00:37:11

time with, within up to a day.

Sean: 00:37:13

Like you've got, you can go back 24 hours or for 24

Sean: 00:37:16

hours

Josh: 00:37:17

Groundhog day you're

Sean: 00:37:18

just to put a limit.

Sean: 00:37:20

You know what I'm saying?

Sean: 00:37:20

Oh,

Sean: 00:37:21

and that's actually my superhero's name.

Sean: 00:37:23

It's Tom Hanks.

Sean: 00:37:24

it's not very unique.

Sean: 00:37:25

we're just gonna roll with

Sean: 00:37:26

it.

John: 00:37:29

That's a good one.

John: 00:37:29

I like

John: 00:37:30

that.

Josh: 00:37:31

That's you know what?

Josh: 00:37:32

That's not a bad power because.

Josh: 00:37:34

In the time it.

Josh: 00:37:34

takes to like regret something, you could go back and change it.

Josh: 00:37:38

That's

Sean: 00:37:38

It's like, you know, have you ever, have you ever cooked something?

Sean: 00:37:41

And it's like, ah, shit, like this is too salty, but like, it's too much work to

Sean: 00:37:45

eat something else or cook something else.

Sean: 00:37:47

You know what I'm saying?

Sean: 00:37:47

You could just

Sean: 00:37:48

rewind.

Sean: 00:37:49

Or if you're in a job interview, you know what I'm saying?

Sean: 00:37:51

I'm thinking practical here, you know, you really fuck up

Sean: 00:37:54

an interview where you want.

Sean: 00:37:57

Back at it again.

Sean: 00:37:58

Or, you know, if you're really bad at sex, you know, you just rewind it.

Sean: 00:38:01

You know what I'm saying?

Sean: 00:38:03

Where we're right back in it.

Sean: 00:38:05

You know what I'm

Sean: 00:38:05

saying?

Josh: 00:38:08

uh, Shawn's

Josh: 00:38:09

thinking

John: 00:38:09

a, That's a, blockbuster idea.

John: 00:38:11

Yeah.

John: 00:38:11

I like that.

Josh: 00:38:12

blockbuster.

Sean: 00:38:14

Tom Hanks,

Sean: 00:38:15

Tom Hanks to back at it again,

John: 00:38:18

You should have

John: 00:38:18

just named

John: 00:38:19

them time.

John: 00:38:19

Hanks,

Josh: 00:38:20

Sean: 00:38:21

see, this is why that's

Sean: 00:38:23

there you go.

Josh: 00:38:24

God damn.

Josh: 00:38:25

That's

John: 00:38:25

Tom Hanks is a good one.

John: 00:38:26

I like that.

Sean: 00:38:28

I'm in it.

Sean: 00:38:28

I'm into it.

Josh: 00:38:30

yeah.

Josh: 00:38:30

I went weird with mine.

Josh: 00:38:32

well, it's not like it's not as weird as the road guy or anything like that, but,

Josh: 00:38:37

um, my power was the ability to shoot bread out of my hand.

Josh: 00:38:46

shoot bread, white whole wheat rye doesn't matter.

John: 00:38:50

Right.

Josh: 00:38:52

yeah.

Josh: 00:38:52

And I'd be called the loafer

Sean: 00:38:55

Geez.

Sean: 00:38:56

Uh,

Josh: 00:38:57

and, my catch or whatever.

Josh: 00:38:59

What would you call it.

Josh: 00:39:00

My,

Josh: 00:39:00

my tagline,

Josh: 00:39:02

whatever it's called.

Josh: 00:39:03

I'd shoot it out.

Josh: 00:39:04

And I'd say you're toast.

Josh: 00:39:06

No,

John: 00:39:06

Fuck sake for fuck sake,

Sean: 00:39:11

All right.

Sean: 00:39:12
