Meet Chris and Ron: Podcast Launch & Tech Woes
00:00:46
Speaker
We having problems?
00:00:48
Speaker
I don't know. Welcome back to another Mythic Giraffe podcast. I'm Chris. I'm Ron. Sorry about that. My computer decided to be a little weird. I'm having a technical issues day. Computers, I, I swear. Like even set your computer like to it's automatic, you know, downloads or whatever when it's in sleep mode, but then you still turn it on. It's like, yeah, no, we really didn't do that. We want you to do it now.
00:01:19
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I have to, I'm not at the point where I have to reset my computer to factory. I need to do both my computer and my wife's computer just because I'm starting to get some slowdowns. I just need to work on things. I hate it. Oh, God damn it. I'm sorry. I, sorry folks. I just got off work. I'm trying to get my topic up on, of course I,
Tech Frustrations: Software and Subscriptions
00:01:50
Speaker
Somehow got on Bing instead of Google. Oh, that's the worst. God, that's like at work. I got that new computer and I looked. I was like, why do my PDFs always look so weird now? It defaulted to open PDFs with Microsoft Edge. Why? Yeah. Why? Who who would pick that? Some weird work problem I've had. That's I had to fix all that, too.
00:02:20
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, it's a side tangent to everything, but we're not even into the tangent part yet. Yeah. I was thinking about yesterday because I pay for the Microsoft Office subscription every month because we just got it when Sherry was in school. Yeah. But now neither one of us are going back to school writing papers. Right. And get rid of that crap, right? Yeah. Why do office for? Right. Yeah, because I mean, you can do
00:02:47
Speaker
anything you want on Google Docs, and then just save it as a Word document. Great. So that's going away. Yeah. I mean, it's not like I'm writing resumes. I'm not writing papers anymore. Yeah. And Microsoft, I gotta say this Bill Gates, Microsoft Word's formatting is one of the most frustrating experiences any person can have. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Bill, come to Salisbury and look at the stupid template for the
00:03:17
Speaker
Fucking SFD memo. Yes. Whoever created that is an animal. If I ever find out who in the department set it up that way, I am going to punch them right in the face. So I don't care if it's the fire chief or who they are getting punched. Somewhere in the department doesn't
Microsoft Word Woes and Office Humor
00:03:33
Speaker
understand PDFs. Oh, yeah. It's setting up forms like. Yeah, just. Yeah. I mean, I love that some of those that pre can they have at work that.
00:03:44
Speaker
You'll start like you, do you take the first line in and you hit tab and it goes to like the bottom field and then it goes up. Yeah. So Microsoft word. Sorry. Yeah. Going up. I don't need you anymore in my life. No, I don't use your products. I'm sure Google eventually will be like, Oh, Hey bud, we haven't been charging for that for years. They really want to make money off my resume. Go ahead. Yeah.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yeah. Steal my identity. Heck, I almost really don't even use my Windows login anymore. I need for game pass. Oh, yeah. I was going to say, I only use it at work for the Office 360 crap. Because you don't have a game pass. Yeah. But again, that stupid 360, where they change that look, it makes everything different. I use it web based. I like my little fucking desktop. Yeah.
00:04:44
Speaker
God, I'm with you. Oh, but it's easier. It's cloud based. Kiss my cloud. Who started the rants early? I just I. There's nothing user friendly about a computer. I know that's the point. Yeah, I would. It's weird because I
The Printer Predicament: IT Nightmares
00:05:04
Speaker
was definitely that kid who was into computers in high school.
00:05:07
Speaker
And going into college, that was a very great way to learn to meet the girls in the dorm. But it was always the challenge of like, you have to fight the computer to make it work. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the reasons that I have more and more become a console gamer in my older age. I just don't want to fight to play my games. No. Oh, I got to update Excel to play this game. Thank you. Excel. Oh, damn. Yeah.
00:05:36
Speaker
Oh, you have an older version of PowerPoint. Yeah. Well, whatever. Nobody uses PowerPoint anymore. I don't know. That's the PowerPoint. I got to use PowerPoint for this class coming up. Yeah, you can use, there's a Google version. But it's the way Mifri saved it is. Yeah, Mifri does use PowerPoint and everything. Yes. Mifri is the definition of death by PowerPoint. Yes. So, yeah. You were talking about printers.
00:06:06
Speaker
Oh, printers are worse than computers are have always been since I was a wee lad, the bane of human when we finally do launch the nukes, it will be because of a printer error. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think the printers are secretly like part of Skynet. This is how they're testing us or something. I've never owned a printer that if you don't use it every day within two weeks, it doesn't work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I love that.
00:06:34
Speaker
You try to print something, you're like, why won't this print? Why won't this print? And you're going through all this stuff and you're like, I point and cuss at the printer and it, you know, I'm sure it's listening to me and that's why it's working even slower. But until you get like into your settings or whatever, and you're like, maybe if I uninstall it and reinstall it and you're about to click that and that starts printing because it feels the threat. And it's like, I have driven you to this
Home Network & Comcast Complaints
00:06:57
Speaker
edge. I'll start working now. Every time IT at work does something, the printer in my office stops working.
00:07:04
Speaker
Every time. Yeah. And then I have to send it to the ticket and the guy's like, well, it's not doing this. And I'm like, I know it's not doing that. That's why. Yeah. Or that. Did you turn your computer off and turn it back on? The worst part is I could fix all of the problems on the printer. If you could just give me that stupid password and I would fix them. Yeah. Yeah. What's like, I asked him, I was like, can I just run an ethernet from the printer to my computer? Oh no. We want to keep it all network based. Yeah.
00:07:33
Speaker
Okay. My wife, her, because she's working remote now. Yeah. The same thing. Everything needs to be on the VPN. And I was like, what world do you think a VPN is more secure than a hardwired line between printer and computer? Yeah. What are you talking about? Yeah. The hardwired line that unless someone comes into my house like the cat burglar and
00:08:04
Speaker
put something on the line yeah we would never it puts like a three-way splice into it turning it off somewhere what are you talking about it's morsegir it's insanity you look at there's like this line coming off you said where the hell does this go and you probably like a quarter of a mile and there's this guy yeah got your printer yeah gotcha oh boy you really for printing stuff yeah yeah
00:08:32
Speaker
Her security for her computers drives me nuts because we have, I wired my house for cat six internet. So there's internet cables all through the house, including into her office because that used to be my office before the great kicking out. So there's cat six hardwired to a fiber optic box.
00:08:55
Speaker
And they're like, no, we want our own wifi because it's not secure. I'm like, what? How is wifi more secure? I don't know. And then they wanted to put Comcast business in my house and I said, absolutely not. Oh my gosh. You are not getting, letting those monsters come into my house and with their, we don't understand how to wire anything attitude. Yeah. I'm not coming into my house. Yeah. No, I'm not. There's, there is about six inches of, cause I had a,
00:09:25
Speaker
get a new router when Verizon upgraded their system so I get to the one gig. And because of that now, there's about six inches
Local Politics and Internet Services
00:09:34
Speaker
of wiring that I can see if I turn the right way and it drives me nuts. Comcast would come in and just like, oh, here's a kitchen. Let's just run coax between here and everywhere else.
00:09:47
Speaker
Oh, it's a one foot run between this and this. Here's 20 feet of coax. Oh, yeah. We'll just leave it spooled up. I mean, it's fine. So I've been in this house since, I think we got this house at 07. Most of my time since 07 has been just pulling out old coax cables. They had three different runs from the street to the house. Wow. All done by Comcast, all the different points in the house. Just put it all down and sell that cover.
00:10:15
Speaker
No, I just take it and they throw it at Comcast vehicles as they drive by. They're not even allowed in my neighborhood anymore. Comcast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They sent me a little email the other day. Oh, we boosted your data plan. Great. I don't trust you. Yeah. No. Yeah. Pretty much everybody in my neighborhood is on fiber optic now. We don't have that option down here. Well, you're getting it.
00:10:43
Speaker
Eventually, yeah, because years ago, we had some politician that was like, oh, we'll find a monopoly agreement with Comcast. Yep. Dover did the same thing. That's why Dover, Verizon stopped at Dover and they didn't go anywhere south because Dover signed some contract with Comcast that they would have a monopoly inside the limits of Dover and Verizon's like, well, then we're not going to pay to run cable down the shore. Is that why? Or is it because Verizon was afraid they would get stabbed or shot in Dover?
00:11:13
Speaker
That's fair, too. That's fair. Dover has gotten rough. Yeah. Yeah. Every time we watch we watch the news at noon at work, you know, while we eat lunch and every time it's like today from Dover. Last night from Dover. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of a little rough over there. It's like, oh, yeah. Last night, the happy-go-lucky liquor store, three people were shot during an attempted robbery. Oh, nice.
00:11:35
Speaker
Yeah. Poured over. Yeah. It's a town that has no purpose, you know. Yeah, yeah. It's where they sport the racetrack every day. We've got the Monster Mile. Who cares? Yeah.
00:11:53
Speaker
And it's the only reason the capital is in Dover is because like some parts of it or, you know, Newcastle back when it was back when this was part of Pennsylvania was like, well, we should be fair. Let the capital be between the middle of the state. Yeah. Where nobody lives. Dom. Yeah. Dom. Yeah. It should be Wilmington. Or Newcastle, which was the original capital of the colony. Yeah. Where could be Seaford?
00:12:23
Speaker
Yeah. Get old Seaford. Bridgeville. Bridgeville where there's no bridges, Seaford where there's three bridges and no sea.
Retirement Tales and Neighborhood Stories
00:12:32
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's because years ago, some podunk hillbilly was like, oh, look at that sea out there. It's the stupid Nanticook River. Right. Yeah. Nor is there a fjord. Yeah. They don't know what a fjord is. That's true. Fjord, that's what my dad drives. A bunch of hillbillies.
00:12:53
Speaker
Because you're people. You're more C40 and than you are any other. I know I am. I've got a lot of family from that area, and I can easily speak that they're all a bunch of hillbillies. It's funny because you never see a whizmer show up in the medical records of Alzheimer's. But you see a lot of Truett show up. Oh, yeah. Or you'll just drive around the shore and be like, oh, Truett Road. It's Truett Lane. Truett. Truett's Hill. Truett's Burg. Danger. Danger. Danger. There's actually a little
00:13:21
Speaker
Like if you look at the map, a subdivision outside of Palville, that's Truett. I think I saw that on, there's a road out there, right? There's like a Truett road or Truett? Yeah. Yeah. I think on the century, we went by that. Okay. That's what got it in my head. Yeah. There's another freaking Truett. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You guys could have been kings down there. Yeah. Yeah. King of the possums. It's time to retire to the islands, bud.
00:13:50
Speaker
I did you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I figured out I signed up for the wrong stupid retirement seminar. What? I signed up for that one next Friday. The city one. You did. Yeah. For the. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, oh, it's state retirement. That's got to cover me. No. No. Yeah. I got a special state. What are we on that? It's the fourth, I think, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's the fourth is the one that's just for state retirement. So I got to look for the one for Leops. Yeah.
00:14:19
Speaker
Yeah, I need to do the same thing. So it's weird to say like, we're both within striking distance of retirement. Oh, yes. Yeah. So it's like eight years now is when you're supposed to go and you're at, well, you can technically even five, I can go at six. Yep. Oh yeah. And I remind my wife of it daily. I tell my wife pretty much daily too. Yeah. Your wife threatened me. So it'd be great if you were a kept man.
00:14:49
Speaker
I say I would be great as a cup man. Yeah. Yeah. Grass cut recliner warmed up. I would get much more stuff in Destiny done. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I told my wife. I was like, think of things. Have you get them around the house? I said, even like in the summertime, I'll be your pool boy. I'll go out there to bikini if you want. I don't care. Neighbors might complain. Nah, you got a high fence. Yeah. The fence is for. Yeah.
00:15:18
Speaker
Must be like cousin Eddie. I tucked the white shirt in through the underwear. I believe in Delaware. I think the rules are the same in Maryland. You're allowed to be naked in your backyard as long as you're not making lewd gestures. Define lewd gesture. I think that's up to the court. They have like photographic evidence. Wasn't doing a number four. And ladies are the jury. I'd just like to say that, you know, I had Mitch.
00:15:49
Speaker
I gotta be a little careful because there's a playground behind my house. Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, you don't want that. That's a whole another ball of wax. That's another whole, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Don't even take a piss out there. Yeah, no. It is one thing when I got all these neighbors around, I can't pee in my backyard anymore. Yeah, your neighborhood has gone from
00:16:09
Speaker
It was funny. They built your neighborhood. They built like the 10 houses that your little coven was for a while. Yeah. And then all of a sudden it's like, Oh, now we decided to build them all. Yep. Yeah. Yep. The good country life left. Yeah. Yeah. I can't complain. Most of our neighbors are cool. That's good. Yep. The state trooper beside us, I swear sometimes he's going to hurt himself because
Morning Radio Nostalgia and Music Trends
00:16:33
Speaker
in his garage, he has like a gym. Oh.
00:16:37
Speaker
And they do the crazy CrossFit stuff. So you're like, we'll be in the house. You're a baboom. And it's him, you know, like dropping the giant barbell or something. I'm like, I didn't hear him scream. So it's a state trooper. They pick things up and they put things down. Exactly. Yeah, that's their job. Yeah. I mean, you guys, you better start relying on your neighbors because you can rely on your fire department. Come get you. Well, again, I told the kids, I said, you say the house is on fire. Hang up.
00:17:03
Speaker
For whatever it is. Yeah, it doesn't matter what it is. House is on fire. Hang up. Oh. Yeah. Engine one's put on the card and we're good. Yeah. I could be first to your house. Yeah. That's bad. That's scary. Yeah. I could be the first paramedic there. That's not a good plan. I think that's much better than some alternatives. That's okay. Why is my computer shutting itself off every three seconds? Yeah.
00:17:29
Speaker
See? Yeah, see, it heard us talking. Bill Gates right now typing in. Yeah. Oh, well, let me tell you about my technological morning this morning. Look, I'm going to start this story and I know this is the most white person problem of all white people problems.
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah. Call my mornings. My wife and I this morning on the way home, just, you know, Hey, how are you? I have a little 15 minute chat before she had to go to her meeting. And just about the time I hit route one, my phone stops going through my booth Bluetooth. It just, I don't know why just disconnects from the Bluetooth, but the, the, the radio on the car is still showing that the phone call is going. Now I'm on route one. Yeah.
00:18:19
Speaker
Right. Right. Turn off the car. Yeah. So hit the button on the power. Try to, try to force it to disconnect. Nothing would work. So now I can't listen to my podcasts on my way home. And I can't listen to Pandora. So I'm stuck listening to
00:18:42
Speaker
over the air radio, which is just brutal. Yeah. Especially in the morning, because they have their talk shows. Listen to the stupid talk shows. I don't care. Just play the music. Just shut up and play music. But no. Let's talk about the McRib, because everybody cares about the McRib. Oh, god. And then they had a lady call in and say, well, you know, at McDonald's, you can ask for your bunsteamed. Great. Thanks for your information.
00:19:12
Speaker
You've really. This is a red-letter day. You and Jonas Salk have changed the world. Oh, God. They were so brutal. You and Jonas Salk. So for an hour of my ride, I'm just listening to regular radio like it's 1994 all over again. Yeah. Yeah. Morning talk show radio is so awful. Yeah. And the guys who do, Preston and Steve, they're like, you guys don't really have this down there.
00:19:43
Speaker
But like Preston Steve and Pierre Robert have been on the radio up here for 30 years at this point. Pierre Robert has been on the radio since the 70s. Wow. They're like local radio legends.
00:19:54
Speaker
They all suck. Pierre Robert is the afternoon or like the mid-morning guy. So he does like from whatever presidency he's done with their wacky shenanigans, their zoo radio bullshit. They're stupid like sound board of effects. Yeah. And then he comes on and just talks about, in 1977 at the Spectrum, the Rolling Stones played. And here's a song by Alice Cooper. What the fuck?
00:20:22
Speaker
What? I got to listen to his crap and then I got to hear all these schlubs like, I'm working in Ben Salem at a goddamn factory and you're playing a hit. You're a real American. I don't give a fuck. Just play music. Yeah. Casey Kasem. Oh yeah. It's just, just the work. Do you remember Delilah at night? So
00:20:50
Speaker
When I pick my oldest up from band, that's our thing to get a laugh. We listened to Delilah on the way home because she's still on the radio. Oh, my God.
Is Bob Dylan a Musical Genius?
00:21:01
Speaker
Yes, she's like 500 years old. Oh, my God. These people don't realize that she tears them down the entire time. Sure. Yeah, she's belittling to them and everything. And it's always like the same thing with her. She's like, you know, somebody like, you know, I'll listen to your show all the time and I.
00:21:17
Speaker
I've been nervous. I want you to send a song to whoever, you know, that really proves my love. And it's some song like, you know, baby come back or something. It's like, there's no, no equation to this. That's so bad. Look, you and I are of an age where we used to be forced to listen to the radio because that was your only option. Oh yeah.
00:21:42
Speaker
Technology has moved on. Yeah, we don't have to live like animals anymore. No can move on from that. I just know I still listen to college radio every once in a while because they'll play music that I've never heard. Yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's now just regular radio is just no, that's dinosaur stuff. And it kills me that there's like 8000 stations still. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, it's I don't get it. It's insanity.
00:22:10
Speaker
But I think most of them are pre-recorded stuff now. They only have live DJs. Yeah, that definitely seems to me. They're just going to basically Pandora. Yeah. Just listen to Pandora. Yeah, I keep waiting for the one day to hear the Spotify ad halfway through. It's like, what? Side change into this conversation. This conversation came up with my friends and I the other day.
00:22:32
Speaker
Obviously, I'm assuming you know the name Bob Dylan. Yeah. Oh God. How many songs do you think, now you and I are in our forties. Yeah. Obviously, Bob Dylan is at least a generation ahead of us. Yes. Right. Because he's like,
00:22:47
Speaker
90, I think. Oh, he's got it. Whatever he is. But he played a wood sock. He's like my dad's he's older than my dad would be. So he's almost a generation and a half past us. Wow. So how many songs do you think you could name off the topic of Bob Dylan? I couldn't name a one because he sucks. Christopher. Yeah. I lose you. Oh, technology. Are you there? Oh, I've lost him. Oh, God.
00:23:17
Speaker
Can you hear me? Yeah. It was stupid. Bill Gates hurt us or something. And we're going to do there. I don't know. Start all over again. No, no. It's got the first one saved. So we're good. Okay. Yep. Uh, where was it talking? Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan. All right. Ready? Yeah. Oh, are we already going? Yeah.
00:23:46
Speaker
Sure. Okay. Man, I'm all discombobulated. Yeah. Discombobulated. Damn. Anyways, Bob Dylan. Yeah. How many songs do you think you could name of Bob Dylan's? Couldn't name a one. I can name one. Because he sucks. We're getting to that point. Don't jump to the- Okay.
00:24:13
Speaker
How many songs do you think your kids could name? And what are your daughters? What are your daughter? Yeah. I don't know. I'm still gonna struggle with this one entirely. Yeah. Is a music nerd. Oh, yeah. Do you think she could name a Bob Dylan song? Probably not. Probably not. Right? Yeah. People who are older than us think Bob Dylan is a music genius. He got the Nobel Prize in Literature for songwriting.
00:24:42
Speaker
Wait, what? Yeah. What kind of asshole kicked in the head by a mule decided that he deserved that? I don't know. Oh, my God. He got the Nobel Prize in Literature, like the last five years, I would say. Oh, my God. They scraped in the bottom of the barrel for that. Right. Not famous to me. No. Not a famous person. He's sure. Obviously, I know his name and but I know his one of his son's songs more than I know Bob Dylan songs. That's something to say.
00:25:12
Speaker
Yeah, but all his songs sound the same. He's just... Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah. Yeah. Feel you. Do you think your daughter knows an Elvis song? Yes. That's my point. Celebrity. Exactly. Famous. Elvis is famous. Bob Dylan is a hack who nobody actually knows. Right. Bam. Thank you for brewing my point. Your vote has been cast. Yeah, it's just... Yeah. Who?
Comic Book Supervillains Quiz
00:25:42
Speaker
Yeah, you bring up the point, you know, like our parents generation over there, oh, you know, Bob Dylan, this and that. Did they just not have taste as options were less, too. Well, but it's also like if you look back like the quote unquote art of certain, you know, shot or time periods, it's like, did you guys not know how to draw Andy Warhol? I don't get it. I don't get it. Quote unquote genius. Yeah. Soup cans. OK. I honestly.
00:26:14
Speaker
I don't think I get any art in the last a hundred years. Yeah. Oh my God. So I just giggle, giggled, giggled. Googled is Bob Dylan popular, often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Yeah. Suck my. If you listen to people talk about Bob Dylan, it's like he's this profound philosopher, philosopher genius in the vein of Socrates. And I listened to it. I'm like, this sucks.
00:26:41
Speaker
Dylan's work made it acceptable and even fashionable to follow your artistic whims. Not only did he alter song form itself, he pointed the way for others to alter song form in their own ways, with their own, or no direction home, if you will, assuring his place in music history. Oh, shut up. Yeah. Yeah. Jimi Hendrix, genius. Yes. Bob Dylan, contemporary Jimi Hendrix, hack. Yeah.
00:27:06
Speaker
You put the two of them in a cage match, Hendrix comes out. Well, not anymore. Hendrix has been dead for about 40 years. I bet he can still do it. That's fair. Okay. This is the official stance of the Mythic Draft podcast. Yeah. Bob Dylan sucks. Exactly. Pretty good up. I'm sorry, Bob Dylan fans.
00:27:28
Speaker
I'm sure if you're a fan of his, I'm not saying you shouldn't love him. But I'm just saying, stop acting like he's the most famous musician in the world. He's not even famous in his own day. Right. He's still alive today. And most people on the planet have no idea who Bob Dylan is. Yeah. Nor has he made famous people money. Right? He doesn't have fuck you money. He's probably well off. But
00:27:55
Speaker
I'm sure he is. He doesn't have. I can tell you this. He doesn't have Charles M Schultz money. No, no. Do you know that made that dude made a billion dollars off the peanuts off a horrible cartoon? It's not a cartoon. It's a comic strip. Yeah, it's a comic. You're Sunday comics, your cartoons, whatever. Yeah, it's still the same as it's the same as Superman. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Schultz, whoever did Family Circus and
00:28:24
Speaker
Kathy all the hacks. Yeah. Well, he made a billion dollars. Yeah. Well, but again, it's because our parents generation had nothing else. And they're like, Oh, look at this moron with a curly Q on his head. That's a great and the teachers go. Hilarious. Let me look at this. No. God. But I hate Mondays. Yeah. OK. So Garfield, you're a little bit better.
00:28:51
Speaker
Oh, so you're saying Garfield's higher tier than Peanuts. Yes. Farsight is definitely far superior to both of them. Well, Farsight, yeah, because if Farsight had the magic that you could tell a story in one frame, Family Circus tried that shit and they just had some stupid little kid like, push Janey down a well. And. Very passionate about his comics, guys.
00:29:20
Speaker
The only decent comics were, yeah, the Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes. I don't know. Far side. Far side. Yeah. Spy versus spy was funny. Yeah. But that was incorrect or whatever. Bad magazine. Yeah. Yeah. I always liked Hagar. Gosh. Because he's horrible. Yeah. And he's horrible, all right.
00:29:50
Speaker
Well, it's good. It leads right into topic one, so you just go right into it. All right. Yeah, I have a game for you today. Oh, a game. It's a DC super villain game. Oh, God. It's easy. Okay. Easiest game you're ever going to play. You're going to get 100% score. Okay. I'm going to read you two DC super villains. Okay. You just need to tell me who appeared first. If you want to guess when,
00:30:19
Speaker
We can go with that. OK, so we're going to start early and easy. Yeah. Ultra humanoid. Versus the monk. Oh, it was the monk. That is incorrect. Really? Ultra humanoid was before the monk. Ultra humanoid is the first DC supervillain in action comics number one. Wow. Yeah, the monk appears in Detective Comics number 31.
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah, so I knew he was in like the less than 50s in detective. Yeah. Yeah. Both in 1939, but ultra harmony. Yeah. Originally look basically like Lex Luthor. Yeah. And eventually like a monkey man. Yeah. He's a monkey man with a giant brain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, we're off to a good start. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh,
00:31:17
Speaker
This one is the first one that is not on here, but, uh, we'll just go with the list that I have because technically I was going to pull Batman's first villain. Okay. Uh, do you have any idea who Batman's first villain is? Oh my gosh. It was, uh, Oh, it was his first villain. Oh, I can't think of that in my head, but it's not like a well-known one. It is definitely not a well-known one. No, no.
00:31:45
Speaker
It is like a cat. It wasn't a cat burglar, but it was something along those stupid lines. Nope. No. It is Alfred Striker who murders three of his business partners to take advantage of a, take ownership of a chemical manufacturing
DC vs. Marvel: Character Development
00:32:01
Speaker
business. Okay. Detective comics number 27. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what'd I do? I got it. Nothing. Got it. All right.
00:32:12
Speaker
Are you for question number two? Yes. Clayface classic classic classic. So Clayface one or whatever you would call it. Sure. But still a classic Batman villain. Yeah. The Joker. I want to say Clayface was before the Joker. Because Joker was. Oh, Joker was a while into it.
00:32:44
Speaker
It was baseball Carlo first. Yeah, I'll go with Clayface. That's incorrect. It was Joker, huh? Joker is in Batman volume number one, number one, April 1940. Clayface, June 1940, Detective Comics number 40. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. The version of Clayface was kind of neat. Sure. Yeah.
00:33:11
Speaker
Oh, there's something like there's like four iterations of Clayface by now, I think. I'll give you an easy one. Mr. Mitzbickel, that's a good mix. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Versus the penguin. It's got to be penguin, right? They wouldn't have put Mr. Mix the pixel or whatever, because he's from action comics.
00:33:39
Speaker
Or was he earlier? Oh, God, see, this is the thing. Yeah, I'll stick with Penguin, but Penguin is correct. Yeah. Detective Comics number number five, number one, number 58. OK, 1941. Mr. Mitzvah. Yeah. Superman. Volume number one, number 30, 1944. Forty four. Wow. Yeah. OK. Still very early. Yeah. All right. Ready? Yeah.
00:34:09
Speaker
The Riddler, classic Batman, Groves Gallery. Yeah. I mean, probably the best Riddler is from the show. Oh, God. Yeah. What was this? Who was the actor that played him? It's a famous comic actor, too. Yeah, I can see him, but yeah, I can see him. Yeah. Let's see. Let's look that up. Riddler Batman show. What do we call that show? Frank Gorshin. There you go.
00:34:40
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Classic. Classic Riddler. Oh yeah. The Riddler versus Deadshot. I must say Deadshot.
00:34:59
Speaker
Oh, and it's the Riddler. It is in 1948. Some of these are too easy. I'm like deadshot is 1950 Batman number 59. I didn't realize that shot was originally a Batman. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Uh, we're going to get into this ones that I've never even heard of. Nice. Well, here's one I've heard of both of these. Okay. Okay. Bizarro. Yeah. Brainiac.
00:35:27
Speaker
Brainiac. That is correct. But I am impressed with you because it's 1958 for both of them. July for Brainiac. October for Bizarro. Yeah. Yeah. Poor, poor Bizarro. All right. This is a bonus point. Oh, bonus. There's a bonus point involved in this question. Mr. Freeze. Okay. Okay. This is the Pied Piper.
00:35:53
Speaker
Now the bonus point is what is Mr. Freeze's original name? Yeah. Cause it's not Victor freeze. Yeah. What was his original name? I don't know. Johnny cold balls. I'm going to give you a hint for his original name. So if you have a chance at this, it's about temperature. Yeah.
00:36:28
Speaker
Dr. Zero. I'm going to give you the points. It is Mr. Zero. Mr. Zero. He did not go to medical school. Yeah. He didn't go to evil medical school. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Zero. Was Pied Piper before him? That's your up to you. I think he was. It is incorrect. It is Mr. Freeze first. Okay. 1959 February for Mr. Freeze Batman number 121. Pied Piper is the flash number 106 in May of 59.
00:36:56
Speaker
I knew he was a Flash villain. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Now we get to the great ones. Oh, yeah. General Zod. OK. Forces Kryptonite Man. Kryptonite Man? Yep. Wow. I'll say Zod. No, it's Kryptonite Man. Wow. 1960 Superboy number 83. General Zod is 1961. Adventure Comics number 283.
00:37:25
Speaker
Kryptonite man. Kryptonite man. Wow. They were really, that was, shoof. I want to see a picture of him. There's no picture. Kryptonite man. Kryptonite man. I'm assuming he's just a man of kryptonite. All right. This is a great one. Uh, not racist at all. This is Marvel. Oh, I don't know if I can give you a Marvel one. It doesn't matter. It's cheating. I'll give you a Marvel one. Fing Fang Foom. Okay. Okay. We all know who Fing Fang Foom is, right? Versus Miracle Man.
00:37:57
Speaker
Miracle Man. It is. It has been thankful. Is it? Yeah. Miracle Man was from the Great Lakes. Avengers. What? Yeah, I think. And. Oh, I don't. That is a four. Miracle Man.
00:38:26
Speaker
Let's see what the Great Lake Avengers, because I also don't know what the Great Lake Avengers are. It's like Squirrel Girl in that bunch. I guess it makes sense that there's a West Coast Avengers, East Coast Avengers. You need something in the Midwest. Yeah. Right. All right. We're going to go back, Marvel, because kind of after the 60s, we had a lot of Marvel. Yeah, clearly. Oh, yeah. One of the best Marvel supervillains of all time. Dr. Doom, Dr. Dr. Doom. God, I can't wait till they bring him into the MCU.
00:38:56
Speaker
Sure. Yeah, they will. Versus one of the better, and I will argue this Spider-Man has some of the worst villains. One of the better Spider-Man villains, the Vulture. Oh, the Vulture. Yeah. This is a lobbing question at you. Well, I'm trying to think back as to
00:39:26
Speaker
Spider-Man was first. Yeah, I'm gonna say Vulture. It is Dr. Doom. Is it? 1962. Vulture is 1963. Wow. I thought, I think you're incorrect. I think Fantastic Four is first. Is it? Right? Because isn't Spider-Man's first appearance in a Fantastic Four comic? Maybe it is. I thought you would know that. I know Reed helps him. If I knew that, I assumed you would know that. Right.
00:39:56
Speaker
All right. Wow, there's a lot of Marvel in the sixties. Let's skip to the later characters, things that you would know. Poison Ivy.
00:40:12
Speaker
One of the best predictions of Poison Ivy is the Kevin Conway Batman cartoon, right? Poison Ivy. Awesome character. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Shrike.
00:40:39
Speaker
I want to say poison ivy is a later one. I'm going to say shrike. That is correct. Shrike is 1965. Poison ivy is 1966. Yeah. Wow. I thought ivy was later in the 70s. I mean, this one can't be a real Pamela Isley. Can't be a real super villain. The awesome threesome. The awesome threesome? Yes. That sounds like a fun weekend. Yeah. Awesome threesome versus growing man.
00:41:08
Speaker
Oh my God. God, they couldn't name people. Nope. Oh God. I'm gonna say the growing man, just cause that's a stupid name. No, awesome threesome is first. The awesome threesome. Both of them are 1967. Awesome. Awesome threesome. Threesome. Wow. Yeah. Let's go down to our, Oh, okay. Here we go. This is our era of characters. Okay.
00:41:36
Speaker
Talia Al Ghul or Roz Al Ghul. Oh, God. Oh, my gosh. It's one of the issues like how to be Roz, because he was, you know, first and everything. But what did they introduce Talia to lead into Roz? How am I going with Roz? Just Talia. Is it Talia? Yeah, May 1971. Detective comics number 411 versus.
00:42:05
Speaker
daughter of the demon before head of the demon. Yep. Yeah. God, such a, he's another great character. He's a good character. And he's got a great storylines with the, the razzle ghouls. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
BioWare's Dragon Age: Future Expectations
00:42:20
Speaker
I mean, he's the whole reason why Jason Todd went crazy. Yeah. All right. Mark the marble for Thanos with his Thanos copter.
00:42:32
Speaker
God, that was so stupid. Yep. Punisher. I remember Punisher was originally a villain. Yeah. Yes, he was. Technically, I thought Thanos was originally a good guy. No. Yeah, he was part of. What was he part of? The Secret Defenders, right?
00:43:01
Speaker
Really? He's part of something. He's a good guy for a little bit. Thanos, I mean of Ant-Man fame versus Punisher. I must say Punisher. No, Thanos, 1973 versus 74. Wow. Yeah. Could you name the
00:43:29
Speaker
First comic that Punisher shows up in. I don't need the number, but do you know for a bonus point? Daredevil. Oh, Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Am I using Spider-Man? All right. Going further down, getting closer to our age. Let's see. Let's pick ones that are from our year of birth. Screaming Mimi.
00:44:01
Speaker
Versus Firebug. I've never heard of either one of those. Let's go with Firebug. That is Screamy Mimi. Screamy Mimi. Yeah. Batman number 318. Firebug. And Screamy Mimi is Marvel two and one number 54. See, that's the thing. I mean, they there for a while, it was like every issue had to have a different villain. So they that's why Batman has all those wacky ones like Condiment King. Polkadot man. Well, it's awesome. Yeah.
00:44:31
Speaker
Speaking of poker back man, Killer Croc versus I guess this wouldn't be fair, but let's go with Lobo. Killer Croc. It is Killer Croc, 1983 March versus June for Lobo. Yeah, I was going to say Jason Todd, but they came out in the same comic. Poor Jason. Poor, poor Jason.
00:45:00
Speaker
All right. Going more into our, well, you thought we were buying comics in the 86. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's more kind of our wheelhouse. Yeah, should be blood sport versus Jericho. Oh, God. Uh,
00:45:33
Speaker
Jericho. That is correct. Slum of Deathstroke. Jericho was 1984. Blitz sport is 1987. Wow. Yeah. Big difference. Yeah. Let's get into the 90s. You got a lot of topical carriers in the 90s. Yes. Going to get a lot of them here. Deadpool.
00:46:01
Speaker
Famous now. Yeah. Yeah. Famous Deadpool. Omega Red. Omega Red. It is Deadpool. Is it Deadpool? 91 versus 92.
00:46:20
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. This is going to be a tough one. It's a DC deep pull. Okay. Fell and our fell and our first is tally man. Tally man. Now it's fell and our, is it really? Yeah. 92 to 93. Yeah. Or wait. I think yeah. Tally man might've actually been introduced in no man's land.
00:46:49
Speaker
Halleyman is introduced in Shadow of the Bat number 19. Huh. Okay. All right. Now this one's going to be tricky, but we're going to go with first appearance. Okay. Famous. One of the most famous DC characters in this time. Harley Quinn. Yeah. I'm hoping you understand why it's going to be difficult versus King Shark.
00:47:21
Speaker
I think Harley Quinn has a really interesting piece of trivia. And if you could give me that piece of trivia, you're going to get a bonus point. Well, Harley Quinn was from the animated series. That is correct. Yeah. Frank Dean. Only. Yeah. Only comic book character who was originally on the animated series. Yep. Yeah. Frank Dean created her and brought her over to comics. Paul. I want to say King Shark was in
00:47:49
Speaker
Flash before Harley was introduced. But I could be wrong. King Shark 1994 Super Bowl number super boy number zero. I don't know how you have a number zero versus Harley Quinn 1992 for the animated show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. 2000. So we get some real winners here.
00:48:16
Speaker
Uh, oh boy. I don't even, I don't think I've heard of, I don't think I've heard of a third of these people. Bat Zaro. Bat Zaro. Bat Zaro. How is Tali man in here again? That's crazy. Versus Talon. Oh God. Talon was a court of owls.
00:48:44
Speaker
And that Zara. It's crazy that you even know that Talon wasn't something. Yeah. Oh, man. That's a great run. Yeah, the courthouse. Definitely anybody who even halfway likes Batman should read the Court of Owls series. Yeah, I think that Zara was first. That is correct. 2005 versus 2006. I have no idea about Zara's. Yeah, I vaguely remember it.
00:49:11
Speaker
It was one of those, like everybody had to have a mirror person. And we're going to give you the last ones, the end of the list, the 2010s Allegra Garcia. Okay. Versus Godspeed. Godspeed. No. No. Allegra was first. Allegra is 2010. Godspeed is 2016. Oh yeah. That's right. Godspeed is a newer one. The flash rebirth number one.
00:49:42
Speaker
Yeah. Legra is in Titans number 28. Yeah. I forgot the Legra was in the Titans. I don't even know who the Legra is. Good job. Yeah. Wow. God, those are some deep pulls. Those were some very deep pulls. Golly dang. I'm going to give you a bonus point. Ooh, bonus. You get a hundred percent right on the quiz. If you get this correct.
00:50:11
Speaker
I'll give you two Pulp Fiction characters, both heroes. OK. OK. I don't even have a year of birth. I just need to know which one came out first. Zorro, you know, of the Z for John Carter of Mars. Zorro's got to be before that means Zorro was books eons ago. Are you telling me stupid John Carter was before Zorro?
00:50:42
Speaker
Oh, I'm waiting for the final answer. So our final answer is John Carter, 1911. This is Zorro 1919. Oh, my gosh, really? John Carter, huh? Carter appears. He's Edward Rice Burroughs, who's the guy who worked Tarzan. Yeah, 1911. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
00:51:09
Speaker
And that was my fun question for the day. That was pretty fun. Yeah. You would have way better chance than I would, because I wouldn't even know who have to be bored. Yeah. I knew like 97% of them.
00:51:24
Speaker
Oh yeah, you knew who they were. Not only that, you knew who they were, you were like, oh, this guy who burned this one in. They're in this run of these comics. Yeah. Oh yeah, Tavelin. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the Court of Owls. Yeah, that's really good. And it's when Scott Snyder and Capullo were working together on Batman. Great.
00:51:43
Speaker
writing and great art. Yeah. I wish I had your talent to memorize those things. I just, I don't have, I just, my memory is so bad these days. I feel like I've, I don't know. I just, I don't have it. It's great that you could do. I just couldn't, like you remind me of my friend, uh, who can tell you who's won every world series ever. Oh no. And he could tell you the scores of the games. And I'm like, how do you remember these things? How do you remember such a stupid sport?
00:52:13
Speaker
Sure. That's his, that's his sport of choice. Yeah. He remembers. He's like, he can get into my new show of like who was pitching games and like what that was. And I'm like, how do you remember that? That's incredible. Yeah.
00:52:30
Speaker
It's and but you do the same thing with with comics. You're like, yeah, it was this was the court of blah, blah, blah, and that's what blah, blah, blah, blah was. And you remember artists. Yeah, I couldn't tell you. I can only tell you one comic board artist, and he's a dickhead. So Miller. Yeah. No, for Alan Moore. Oh, Alan Moore. Yeah. Yeah. He's a dickhead. Yeah. Yeah. That only like him talk.
00:53:02
Speaker
created one of my favorite characters. Still a dickhead. Yeah. Yeah, that's unfortunate sometimes. Yeah, sadly. Yeah. So topic two. Yeah. All right. I'm kind of a I don't know. I don't know if you've even thought about this, but there's been a lot of talk with the new Dragon Age game coming out. Dragon Age. Oh, God, what's it? I don't know for sure. It's like was it Codename Fenris or something?
00:53:31
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. Coding Wolf. What is a stupid Dragon Age? I feel like I've been out of the Dragon Age thing because of Inquisition. Just sad to say. Well, and that's my whole dread, uh, Coding Dread Wolf. Okay. So what does Dragon Age have to do to get you back in? Uh, let me heal.
00:53:55
Speaker
Step one, that would be that would be helpful. Yeah, actually. Yeah. Have a healer who can cast a healing spell. Yeah, that would be that would be. Yeah. That'd be a good step. And what do they have to do? Yeah. Oh, you know, I think they have to resist. The urge to reinvent. Dragon Age. Yeah.
00:54:20
Speaker
Like maybe I understand like the original Dragon Age could be clunky and maybe not as fun to replay nowadays because games have changed and moved on. But if they come out with this Dragon Age and I've got to deal with communities and I think I'm past the game outside of the game thing that's going on in games. Like Dragon Age Inquisition had the whole map and the
00:54:45
Speaker
You know, you had to influence the board. Yeah. Fair enough to ever want to do it. Yeah. Yeah. I think if they got back to like the stories and the like or intercommute interconnections between your core characters, I think that's great that, you know, Joe over there has his castle, but I want to know how my fighter and my cleric and my wizard interact. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:14
Speaker
And then sure yet, maybe if, you know, we were going along somewhere and the wizards like, Oh yeah, that's my uncle used to live over there. He was an asshole. Yeah. Let's go down that little path, but sure. I'm totally fine with having an more open version of Dragon Age. Um,
00:55:31
Speaker
The Inquisition was so, they were just like, let's make GTA. They were like, let's make GTA Shadow Mordor and not have a healer. That's what they tried to do. I never finished it. I literally gave up on it because I got tired of it. I finished it, but I know I cheesed the ending. Sure.
00:55:53
Speaker
Yeah. And they threw in, they threw in, you know, all the collectible crap that, yeah, that's not Dragon Age to me. No. And they need, I'm going to say that you need the dark spawn. You need that whole emphasis to it. Yeah. But I was going to say,
00:56:11
Speaker
I think Bioware lost its soul. Oh yeah. Somewhere along the line, they just stopped being Bioware. Yeah. And they're going to have to prove to me that they're Bioware again. Bioware is known for one thing, amazing stories. Exactly. And if they're not giving me amazing stories, then I'm not going to be into it. Yeah. I guess that's, I think that's what I need. I need an amazing story.
00:56:38
Speaker
You know, I thought Dragon Age was cool. They had a great backstory. Yeah. And then Inquisition, they just painted it. Yeah. Yeah. I think they tried to be too much of a Western RPG. They tried, like you said, they tried to do the whole open world stuff and they tried to cater, you know, tie in the.
00:57:01
Speaker
GTA folks. It was too much. Yeah. It wasn't, but I never, it never felt, at no point in Inquisition did you ever feel like, Oh, I'm playing a BioWare game. Yeah. Yeah. I never felt that whole, it really matters what my dialogue choice is. Right. Like I feel like I've been playing BioWare games since the nineties. Yeah. And I mean, your BioWare, be BioWare.
00:57:31
Speaker
Do that. Do what you do well before you ever try to do something else. And I feel like I couldn't name another Bioware game that's come out in the last six years. Oh, yeah. Couldn't do it. Anthem. Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I had such hope for that. Yeah, of course. Who doesn't want to run?
00:58:00
Speaker
bunch of Iron Man run around doing. I mean, I played the beta and it was fun. It was just. You know, Anthem is. One of the worst examples I can think of of modern video game development. Yeah. Right. The E3 video game cycle. It killed that game.
00:58:26
Speaker
They came out with, this is what we're going to do. And then they were like, Oh, yeah, we can't really do those things. We can't deliver on what we promised, but we're going to put the game out anyways, because we have this development cycle we have to get through. And it just killed the game. Yeah. You know, I'm sure they made money off it, I guess, but no one reported back. I was like, this is a great game. Yeah. You know, no one. Yeah. I don't want to be like, Oh, critics are always right. But when the whole
00:58:55
Speaker
And it was all the same. Everybody was like, I was so excited for this game. And then it just didn't work. Yeah. And wasn't it similar, like with Mass Effect Andromeda? People were like, it just didn't hit the same. Just didn't hit. I mean, as Mass Effect...
00:59:09
Speaker
Even MasterTech 2 has problems where you're like, this doesn't feel great. But Andromeda was like, they were way off the base. You can't make people love your series for this and then be like, oh, I'm going to change it completely. It's what Halo does. That's the one thing Halo gets right. Is it still always Halo? Yeah. Bungie,
00:59:37
Speaker
Does Bungie games right? Yeah. Destiny, my brother, because we've been playing Destiny 2, getting into it. I've never seen my friend on there ever.
00:59:47
Speaker
But I play weird times. I haven't been all much lately. Guy's been so busy. Sure. But we we play. We've been playing a lot. And my brother was like, this feels like Halo. I'm like, well, it's because the guys who made this game made Halo. Yeah. That's why it's it feels like a bungee shooter. Yeah. You know, all the other stuff they add is great. Right. But at the core of the game, it's still a bungee shooter. And they got that part right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
01:00:17
Speaker
That's what BioWare needs to remember. You got to get the core game right. If you want to add stuff to it, it's kind of like Fallout 3. Fallout 3 to me was not the best version of Fallout because they added all the community stuff. But it was still a Fallout game. It was recognizably Fallout. The Fallout part of it was great. So even though I didn't enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed other Fallouts, I still was like, oh, this is still a good Fallout game.
Final Thoughts: Voting and Halloween Safety
01:00:46
Speaker
Yeah, that's bioware. Go back to the stories and the connections and the stupid little things. It's what I expect out of you is crazy. I remember the first Dragon Age game. There was early on, like you made one decision and that was whether or not you had a dog follow you around. Yeah. And who doesn't pick the dog? Yeah, right. Yeah. Even back to the stories they had in Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights.
01:01:14
Speaker
I mean, they've created some of the, the most like kind of characters. Yeah. And yeah, we've talked about that too. Like, why hasn't there been a new, or I know Botter's Gate is something's going on with it. Uh, Boulder's Gate three. Yeah. I'll never get to play. It's like constant beta or something. Yeah. It's just never, well, I don't even know if they're doing beta or not. I don't think they pulled the beta. Oh gosh. But it's something is going on with it. Um,
01:01:46
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. Baldur's Gate will leave early access for a full release in 2023. OK, we'll see. Yeah. If it's not Baldur's Gate, it will rage. Yeah, I mean, looking at it, it looks like, you know. But everyone is night. I would like a noon hour. Oh, my gosh, yes.
01:02:11
Speaker
Kotor, he did Kotor, for God's sakes. Well, aren't they working on a remake of Kotor? I heard something, some rumors that they're remaking it, but then they pulled it or something. Yeah. Yeah. So they got involved in like the the old Republic online game, which some people really enjoyed. I played for like three months. I was like, oh, I can't do this anymore. Yeah.
01:02:37
Speaker
I don't want to go to a remake has been in development for the past three years with no set time for release. Right. Oh, that's not good. No, I'm not. I'm not really into bioware for multiplayer. Yeah. I want to sit down to a great single player experience with exactly.
01:02:54
Speaker
Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Take all that other crap. Give me. And I don't care that it's you can even make it somewhat linear. Great. Yeah. Tell a story. Hello. Amazing story. I want to feel like, oh, man, I really connected to that character. Yeah. Yeah. I want Mince and Boo. You know. Yeah. Yeah. I want to feel like at the end when I finish it, I go, man.
01:03:18
