Into the Lion's Den

Hello and welcome, fellow Marvel fans, to the

Snark Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy.

And we invite you to join us as we work our way

through every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover.

Meaning if there's a Marvel character on screen,

it's fair game. All categorized in the temporal

order of their setting. By the time we're done,

we'll have built a complete start -to -finish

timeline of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To accomplish this goal and to have a bit of

fun along the way, each episode will be split

into two parts, a watch party and a deep dive.

If you're hearing this, you found one of our

watch parties. This is where we sit down with

you and experience a piece of Marvel media together

in real time, celebrating the high points and

poking fun at the low ones, because that's what

heroes do. To get synced up, here's what you'll

need to do. Pull up the movie or episode on your

screen and pause it right as the Marvel logo

is prominently displayed. Then come back here

and wait for the three -tone countdown. On the

third tone, press play, and just like that, we'll

be watching together. Quick note, if your version

includes ads, you'll need to pause us during

those breaks to stay in sync. Once you finish

watching along, we encourage everyone to check

out the deep dive as well, where we will do an

in -depth analysis of the information we just

consumed. Most importantly, we want to thank

each and every one of you for joining us on this

incredible journey. We're not affiliated with

Marvel in any way, shape, or form. We're just

fans who are passionate about these stories and

these characters and wish to share them with

everyone in a new and exciting way. So, sit back,

relax, and enjoy this episode of Stark Industries.

So I have not seen this yet. I know you've watched

this series. I'm looking forward to it. Well,

there's no time like the second time. That's

a common saying. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

I like these little, there's a lot of arrows

here. It reminds me of the three brothers in

Harry Potter. Yeah, yeah. That's man. What a

great call out. First episode to patrol brothers

or patrol, whatever they are. The, the deathly

hollows brothers. Yeah. The deathly hollows,

but there's a name anyway. Marvel. Yeah. Anyway,

back to what we're supposed to be doing, which

is watching the eyes of Wakanda. I mean, we're

watching it. It's just explosions and things

happening. I probably should be paying attention.

Ooh, the eyes. Yeah. You're missing out. You're

missing a lot of very important. Credits for

who did this. Well, it looked like it was telling

something of a story. I probably should be paying

attention. It's a sweet logo. Yeah, it is. Literally

the eyes of Wakanda. Crete. Bold move to go with

BC over BCE. That's really backwards thinking.

Dude, right? That hat looks very uncomfortable.

I mean, you'd have such a headache at the end

of the day. Ten minutes. I mean, not even the

end of the day. I have a headache just watching

it. I like their uniforms. Yeah. Already an immediate

plug with the lion's den. Mm hmm. Front of the

ship. We must run. Like I say, are you thick?

Girl, you thick. That's something like a thin

version of Yasha. Man, we're just getting all

kinds of extracurricular plugs in here. Oh, man.

I mean, look, if you're going to go nerd, you

might as well go full nerd. I like how the the

Raiders here are a varying. ancient world ethnicities

like it's not just vikings it's vikings and yeah

whatever whatever these guys are and look at

that dude he looks like a yeah like a big old

russian character would yeah actually you want

to do a pop culture reference he looks like the

the the russian from punisher although his hair's

the wrong color oh man yeah wow the thomas jane

one yeah i know what you're talking about i love

that movie I'm so looking forward to when we

get to that one. Absolutely. Damn. Well, that's

just not how physics works. So that man's got

some vibranium in that glove. I feel better now

that I've seen a little bit of explanation. I

thought he just caught it with his bare hand

and I was like, nope. Nah, man. Vibranium glove.

That's a genius idea. Yeah, that is cool. That's

better than making a shield out of it. Let's

be real. Black Panther took the right move and

made a whole suit out of it. Right. At least

in the weave. Yeah. Well, Sherry did at least.

Well, you know, whoever you want to give credit

for. I said Black Panther. She's the Black Panther

now. We'll get there. That's true. That's true.

Very fair. Jumping ahead a little bit. Yeah,

I know. 2 ,000 years or so? Hey, if they can

do it in Endgame, I can do it in Stark Industries.

That's how I look at it. There you go. I'm good

with that. That's Jesus right there, I'm pretty

sure. What? Convinced. I feel like that's not

a very kind convincing. Oh, yep, I was right.

Oh, yeah, he's getting branded. Nailed it. Oh,

man. Yeah, no, thank you. Some people are into

that. This is true. This is true. Oh, man, that

sucks. Freshly branded and she's in there too

now. I can't imagine getting branded. Yeah. I'm

upset just thinking about it. Yeah, right? You

burn your finger on the stove. It hurts for like

a week. It sucks. Wakanda. Six weeks earlier.

Well, we're doing a time jump. See, I wasn't

out of line with the time jump. The show's doing

it too. Oh, totally. Yeah. You have no idea how

difficult it was to put these shows in order.

To try to figure out the end universe date for

some of these shows. My God. Marvel did not make

it easy. And I hope you all appreciate this work

that we've done for you. Yo, watch the toes.

Dora Milaje, is it? That's not how they pronounced

it in the movies, is it? I thought it was just

the Dora Milaje. I didn't realize there was an

A on the end of door. It's kind of like Hodor.

It's evolved over time. The more you say it.

Hodor. Yeah, exactly. You got it. Oh, man. It's

good that that theme has withstood the test of

time. Yeah, no kidding. That's what, 3 ,000?

We're looking at 1 ,200 B .C. So we're looking

at 3 ,000 years ago. Yeah. Oh, there was the

artifact that Killmonger got in the first Black

Panther. Oh, I totally missed it. Did you catch

that Easter egg? Yeah, I missed it. Come with

the Easter bunny. Here's an egg. I was looking

at the spreadsheet with the dates. Those are

some broad shoulders. Seriously. I'm marginally

aroused. What is it? Death by Zug Zug? Or Snoo

Snoo? Death by Snoo Snoo. Yeah, that's right.

Zug Zug is from a movie from the 80s called Caveman.

Enjoy that. Oh, a redemption arc. Yeah. That

always resonates well with audiences. I can't

tell if you're being serious or not. I am. Yeah,

okay. I'm a very serious man. That's something

that... You know, in the, what, 20 years I've

known you, I've discovered that to be very true.

Believe everything John says the first time.

Everyone knows. It's my MO. Oh, man. Oh. She

just slapped the shit out of that guy. Wow. I

really enjoy his work. What did the five figures

say to the face? That's a whole mood, just going

to town on that bread in the middle of whatever

this is. Right? Oh, man. Damn. She's not messing

around. No, she's not. Well, it's a redemption

story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with you.

I'm inspired. Damn, look at that. Yeah, that

was a cool shot. That thing is massive. I mean,

I don't even know how that moves. Slowly. Very

slowly. No engines. I mean, you're going to need

some wind. And some, well, I guess some slaves,

probably. Whoa, whoa. Well, am I wrong? One episode

in, we're already going there. Unbelievable.

Come on, man. Am I wrong? Those things can't

be just wind -powered. No, they certainly have

some omen, I would say. Of some kind. I'm sure.

I'm sure. Yeah. For king and country. Not conscripted,

not... No. Yeah, no. No, all right. Yeah. Cool.

Cool, just making sure. That's a lot of boats.

I understand this was set in BCE, but we're in

2026. Oh, sure. Very sneaky, sir. I think you

underestimate my sneakiness. It always amazes

me that in a common trope in these type shows

how well stealth works when in reality, it probably

should roll in that 20. Yeah. I mean, of all

the jobs, even even that far back in the day,

they're selling the women to smile. Unbelievable.

Right. Took a long time to get rid of that one.

Well, I'm not certain we're fully rid of it yet.

I know we're not. Maybe this is a common area

of modern society. Yeah, it's going to bleed

through. Yeah. Oh, no. What have Marvel Comics

always been about? Listen. Especially X -Men.

Some people like to deny that. But we here at

Snark Industries are the truthers. That's right.

She's like a mix of Yasha from Critical Role

and Ingrid from How to Train Your Dragon. Both

of which are Viking -esque. Sure, sure. Oh, you

about to find out your divine purpose. Like,

we were with you right up until that point. We

can't do that. Yeah. Yeah. They just watched

Certify Physics and were like, oh, nope. There

is no spoon. No, I want a chair that does that.

That's rad. Yeah, just poke it and it gives you

a stick. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Nice cold one. Yeah,

spring -loaded into a little fridge, just like

when you're done, a new one slides in. I dig

it. Inventive. I think we're flirting on the

edge of alcoholism here. I didn't say you have

to use it every time you're done. You didn't

have to. I just say it'd be real convenient.

That's all. This is very true. It would be that.

Oh man, that guy's hand fits over her entire

head. I am a generous God. The animated choreography

is top notch. It really is. Oh, panache. That

man is massive. Everything is cooler on a boat.

Dude, you telling me? That's why I lived on one

for six years, man. Yeah. He's about to go into

his secondary hole and find something cool. Ooh.

Knew it. There you go. Oh. I think that's the

first blood we've seen, regardless of all the

slaughter. That could be. It means something.

Oh, no. Boom. Headshot. Got him. Oh, man. Oh,

that's cool. This is very cool. If you're just

wanting a beer out of it, this man's armoring

up. No, no, out of the chair. That's good to

see priorities and how they go for some people.

I don't want a little little tiny. What was that?

Oh, sucks to be her. Oh, man. Ouch. Everyone

that she's killed so far on that boat has been

from friendly fire. That's true. That one counts

as mine. Still counts as one. Oh, man. Oh, that's

cool. This guy, I know that something bad is

going to happen to him. Well, I mean, naturally,

he's the bad guy, right? Yeah, but I don't want

it to. Because he's really cool. Yeah, he's blood

in the water. I've seen Jaws a few times, so.

Oh. Dude, what a way to go. What a way to go.

That is just awful. Having your eyes open in

the ocean is a whole move that I'm not here for.

You know, that is a fine point. That would hurt

like hell. Yeah. And I'm sorry, no ocean is that

ripple free. Well, you know, maybe it was back

in the day. We've done a lot of pollutant in

the last 3000 years. You think the waves have

changed that much in the ocean? You know, they

may have. They may have. Maybe. Maybe. You could

be right. Who am I to say? No. The ancient scribes

didn't make it a point to write down the consistency

of the water. How dare they? No. Oh, bracelets.

Ladies. They found the. They found the. See,

and you were talking about slaves earlier. I

don't know where you're getting that idea from.

I have no idea. No, not conscripts, not slaves,

just fashion. This is just a nice jewelry shop.

Oh, man. Oh, man. What would be the name of that

accessory, John? What would you call that if

you were selling those? That's a bangle. A bangle,

okay. Yeah, come to my shop of bangles. Yeah.

Most impressive. I feel like this lion army here

would benefit a lot from having a shield. A lot

of them would have. I don't know if they do.

Every one of these guys is getting thrown at

him. Oh, yeah. Well, he gets him to thrown at

him. Yeah. So wait, now, was that the little

stick that he shot out of the chair? Yeah. See,

I don't want that. Yeah. OK, never mind. I want

that. Oh, he's monologuing. Can't confirm. That's

true. It's kind of their thing. Yeah. Yep. They're

kind of renowned for their secrecy. Come into

my room. Yeah. Cloak and dagger room. Going to

see a shadow pop up on one of these soon. Yeah,

there it is. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. But he's

not really there. He's across the room. There

are also mirrors. He walked in there knowing

good and well that her only move was throwing

those daggers. So he made sure there was lots

of sheets in the way. And then he made himself

a nice little target. Yeah. That's a that's a

good yeeting platform right there. Yeah. This

is Sparta. He's huge. That's not slowed her down

yet. No, no. But my. I'm a generous God comment

earlier was more accurate than I thought. Even

the God King can bleed. Yeah. Oh. I mean, this

man's making some sense right now. He's talking

about I freed these people and then they're showing

their shackles. They're showing the bangles.

The bangles. Oh, excuse me. The bangles. Yeah,

correct. We're going to have to clarify the meaning

of bangles when we get to Miss Marvel. Redemption

arc. It's coming to fruition right before our

eyes. That staff he's got is pretty rad. Yeah.

Oh, oh, I like the little hook on the end there.

His cloak was like a. Bladed scarf. Yeah, I knew

the sheets would come in handy. Yeah. That'll

show her. There we go. There we go. Oh, man.

Someone sat in a thought room right there and

pitched that idea. Everybody was like, yes. They

were trying to think of a good fight scene and

they went to a Cirque du Soleil and like. There

it is. There it is right there. Yes. Yeah. Guys,

I've got it. This is our arc. I mean, it was

pretty cool. I'm down. It was cool. When you

got something, you got something. Oh, she got

a busted blade and he's got a piece of his. Oh,

she's using. Oh, she can have a. Yeah, get it.

Get it. Hell yeah. Or did she just charge it

up? Yes, and. Yeah, right. Ooh. Ooh. She's going

to fit in with the other ships here with her

pirate eye now. Big bada boom. Oh, he's going

over the edge. Yeah, he is. Or no, no, he's not.

I thought that was him. That's a lion head. Even

though he is the head. Symbolic. Lions. Yeah,

yeah. That's a symbolic yeet. Symbolic yeet.

That's a good gamer tag. He just went and had

a sit. I feel that in my bones. I've done too

much. I'm just going to have a sit. Oh, yeah.

The other one. Oh, what? What else does that

chair do? That's the predator self -destruct

button. Oh, snap. Oof. Oh. Oh, that sound effect

was cool. Oh, that was fancy. I mean, come on.

That was ridiculous, I gotta say. Well, here's

some more of the, that's what we call plot armor.

Yeah, yeah. That explosion just filled up half

the screen and she's just like, I'm in the ocean,

it's fine. And a perfect dive, nonetheless. Yeah.

Not unconscious, not dead, not disintegrated.

A -okay in every way. Yeah. Because that's what

heroes do. That's what heroes do. Yeah, she's

got to get proof of her kill to take back to

complete her redemption arc. And she got the

arm thing, too. Yeah. See, that is more of a

bangle. No, that's more of a, what is that? That

is a scabbard. What would that be called? That

wrist guard. Listen, we will, and we'll kind

of go over our individual roles, but jeweler

is going to be my domain, so let's just let me

stick with that. Okay, I'm good with that. Yeah.

It concerns me that you're calling that a bangle

already, though. Well, that's what it is. So,

well, OK, OK. That's the same energy as the 300

guys. What is your profession? We went to the

exact same place. Everyone in history who's ever

held a spear has done that move. Oh, you betcha.

Absolutely. Especially if you've got a shield

with you. You can't help it. Well, I got some

bad news for you, sister. That doesn't get better.

Oh, man. Well, you're ready for anything except

for seeing the right half of your body. All right.

Anything that's not coming from the right. Yeah.

Yeah. Dead center or to the left. We're good.

Oh, man. All right, there's episode one in the

bag. Yeah, I enjoyed that a lot. I feel good.

Do you feel good? I feel great. Yeah. Now the

real fun begins. We're going to jump over to

our deep dive breakdown of this episode, how

it fits into the Marvel universe as a whole,

and over all our thoughts. Look forward to seeing

you there. Thank you for joining us in this episode

of the Snark Industries podcast. To join the

conversation and further explore the Marvel Cinematic

Universe with us, head on over to snarkindustriespod

.com. The link will be in the show notes. But

with that, we will see you in the next adventure.

Hello and welcome, fellow Marvel fans, to the

Snark Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy.

And we invite you to join us as we work our way

through every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover.

Meaning if there's a Marvel character on screen,

it's fair game. All categorized in the temporal

order of their setting. By the time we're done,

we'll have built a complete start -to -finish

timeline of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To accomplish this goal and to have a bit of

fun along the way, each episode will be split

into two parts, a watch party and a deep dive.

If you're hearing this, you found one of our

deep dives. This is where we slow things down

and take a more pragmatic, in -depth look at

a piece of Marvel media. We'll walk through the

full plot, explore connections to the wider MCU

and Marvel comics, highlight Easter eggs, unpack

lore, and of course, give you our own personal

thoughts and feelings. Although this episode

stands on its own, it is designed to complement

the watch party. So, if you haven't watched along

with us yet, we highly recommend starting there

first and coming back here for the full breakdown.

Most importantly, we want to thank each and every

one of you for joining us on this incredible

journey. We're not affiliated with Marvel in

any way, shape or form. We're just fans who are

passionate about these stories and these characters

and wish to share them with everyone in a new

and exciting way. So sit back, relax and enjoy

this episode of Stark Industries. Welcome to

the deep dive. We just watched Eyes of Wakanda

episode one into the lion's den. John, why don't

you go ahead and tell us what that was about?

Yeah, so we have an interesting first take of

a series that kind of took me by surprise in

a good way. This idea that we're going to get

a deep dive into the history of Wakanda. Stories

that, as far as I know, haven't really been told

before or are pretty obscure, bringing it to

the light of the MCU in general. So we have episode

one here into the Lion's Den, which happened

in 1260 BC. And we have a redemption arc heroine

by the name of Noni who's coming to... Bring

a sort of rogue operative known as the Lion,

which is where the namesake of the episode comes

from, back to Wakandan justice. This guy had

went out and formed a kind of a nation of abducted

men and women from across the world. You get

lots of different cultures and things like that

as part of it. We see Vikings. There are some,

looks like some Japanese influence in some of

the armor pieces there that I noticed, which

was really interesting. And so you have these

people from all over the world who were taken,

but... As the episode kind of unfolds and we

get some of the quintessential evil monologue

from this lion, he speaks to it as if these are

free peoples and he is giving them some sort

of platform to stand above their lots in life,

which I believe was maybe an attempt to try to

have some sympathy for him or some understanding

from what he is doing there and leading this

group. But ultimately, Noni... Rejects this idea

of joining him and joining these free peoples

of this lion, pride of the lion, that this group

is called. And he and her do battle aboard sort

of the mothership of this fleet, this giant bastion

of a ship. And eventually weakened and nearly

defeated, he sacrifices himself with a large

vibranium -esque explosion, which ends his own

life and sends her, luckily, Through clever use

of plot armor safely into the ocean below. And

she's able to return to Wakanda and sort of take

back her place as part of the Honor Guard, the

Dora Balaji. Though she does reject it, right?

Yeah, right. So, but, you know, that's kind of

what the arc was. And then we get to the end

and that's kind of the ultimate pin in it for

her portion of the story. And we'll see as we

kind of continue along these. These are meant

to be individual things. We're not, you know.

Her story starts and ends with this episode,

so we get to see it all in its completion. Kind

of bummed to hear that, actually. Yeah. I liked

her as a character. She seemed interesting. Yeah,

agreed. And, you know, and we get to see her

story and everything else and to see her do kind

of this moral quandary with this rogue agent.

And ultimately, the sort of sect that this guy

came from, the Hatootsazari, is... Where she

chooses to join at the end, which is what you

kind of mentioned. Which is interesting. Yeah.

And it kind of gives a good piece into the cultural

of Wakanda. Obviously, she says something that

is obviously a trend, a theme, a motif throughout

all of Wakanda history from the things that we

have, which is keeping their technology apart

from the rest of the world. Rightfully so. I'd

say the rest of the world kind of sucks and we'll

do terrible things if they have it. So that's

kind of what we have here going on in terms of

episode one into the lion's den, getting a little

bit of that history, a little bit of deeper lore

into Wakanda, seeing some of the origin stories

of well -known characters that we have today,

like Okoye, sort of where that sect and order

of the Dora Milaje comes from. Which leads us

perfectly into the next segment we're going to

talk about, which is how it fits into the MCU

and what universe it takes place in. So obviously

this takes place in the same universe as the

films, which recently they've called 616. I kind

of reject because that's nonsense, but it is

the MCU proper universe. Tell us how you really

feel about that. Call it 616 or 1999, but it

is it is universe proper. So it's kind of neat

to have had. this world built with Wakanda as

a familiar part of it. And then years later,

after the Black Panther and Black Panther 2 come

out, we get this really deep dive into the flavor

of where Wakanda came from and where the Dora

Milaje came from and where the war dogs came

from. And it was an interesting dive. I hadn't

seen it previously. And that was that was a lot

of fun. Yeah, I totally agree. It's interesting

to have these stories and as we continue on through

our watch of the entirety of these shows and

movies that we so love, there'll be a lot of

things that sort of have obvious tie -ins and

obvious riffs off of each other and sometimes

very blatant continuations. I think it's really

interesting and unique to have a story where

it kind of just stands alone. In fact, the only

real thing... At least that I noticed looking

through this episode that ties this into anything

other than obviously the Wakanda itself, the

Dormalaje itself, etc. Of course. Is the pickaxe

that was there, which is the same one that Killmonger

finds in the Black Panther movie, which we'll

get to on another episode. But an interesting

thing that this artifact was shown and, you know,

a direct line into the actual MCU proper. Yeah,

which takes place nearly, what, 3 ,000 years

later. Yeah, right. So 1260 BC, I mean, and the

current things are happening more or less present

day. Yeah, pretty close. We're talking, yeah,

3 ,000 plus years. Yeah, wild. Of this vibranium

pickaxe just. Making it through time and ultimately

having a pretty vital role in the introduction

of Killmonger in that film. Yeah, absolutely.

Really interesting to see, like I said, a standalone

story, but still giving it a little piece of

that tie -in, a little homage to what I'll say

the more common knowledge films and things such

as Black Panther versus something like this.

Really well done. And I think that kind of leads

us into our final part of this deep dive is kind

of our personal thoughts. Yeah, with the exception

of comic tie -ins, if we wanted to mention any

of those. Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. Got ahead

of myself, but by all means, yeah. Let's go from

the screen to the paper as well, as a lot of

our listeners here, as us as well. enjoys these

things in all of its different forms so i would

be interested to know how it absolutely how it

may tie into those things as well yeah so what

i've looked up and what i found was that the

comic tie -ins here really are just the source

of dora milaje the war dogs things like that

like the war dogs being introduced in black panther

volume three number four by christopher priest

i personally have not read that one but i do

know the war dogs from other comics and i would

actually be kind of interested to dive back into

that see if i can find that on marvel unlimited

and and get that introduction. Absolutely. But

as far as comic tie -ins go, that's pretty much

all I found. So there's not a whole lot of history.

Noni doesn't exist in the comics at all. She

is a new character to the MCU and the comics

in total. Right. Yeah. So yeah, definitely. Definitely.

Even from a comic book standpoint, this standalone

story. Very standalone. So I think that does

lead us to a natural segue into some personal

thoughts, which I mean, for me, I would say that

I really enjoy. I think I've touched a little

bit on it during the recap and what we've been

talking about, but I really enjoy having this

unique standalone story because I know, at least

for me, of someone who's loved these characters

and these stories, whether it be in written form

or visual form, television movies, you know,

these has been a part of my life for 30 years

or more. At this point, careful showing my age

here, but to have something that's not been rehashed,

it's not been retold, that's not been reimagined,

but to have a new character, a new story, historical,

you know, even though it's fiction. But historical

tie -ins, and like I said, to me, the biggest

thing that I really super loved about this episode

was the different cultural tie -ins into this

Pride of the Lion. Like I said, the Vikings,

really interesting. I said, you know, what appeared

to be Japanese or Asian armor and weapons for

some of these people who had kind of made up

this conglomerate, this independent state that

they did. I thought that was very interesting

and very well done and definitely speaks to sort

of social. social norms social customs things

like that it really just kind of brings us some

light to a lot of different things and ultimately

i mean and and for those that that joined us

for the for the watch party you mentioned there

but i think it's worth re -saying that has a

lot of or a lot to say about today as well you

know in terms of how things You know, look in

2026, even though this is a story that was that

was set aside 3000 years ago in a fictional land.

I just just to me, very well done. Definitely

worth the watch for those that have access to

it. A really great episode for a great show as

far as I'm concerned. I haven't seen the full

show yet, but I'm looking forward to watching

the rest in this process. I completely agree

with with everything you said and the social

commentary on today's world. being set 3000 years

ago is a wild thing, but comics have always been

a commentary on our world. And I, I kind of love

that about comics. That's one of the things that's

always been driven, uh, always drawn me in. So

to see that still shining today when something

releases is always really, really great to see.

They've always had a good stance. Yeah. I just,

I just love that about Marvel. Totally agree.

And along those lines, I remember this when I

was a kid. And this this has stuck with me to

this very day. It triggers emotions within me

when I think about the scene in the original

Fox X -Men movie where Magneto is talking to

Senator Kelly when he's captured. And he says

there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace

not here or anywhere else. Yeah. Talking about.

Yeah. When he came to America, obviously, you

know, his story being a Holocaust survivor and

everything. I mean. Dude, that that thing reaches

out and touches me right in my soul. It just

got chills. I know every time I'm like, man,

that is so true. It's so good. It is so good.

And to to expand on the episode a little bit,

because, of course, I love the social commentary.

I love the the story. It was really, really well

written. I really dig that it stands on its own.

And to comment on the art and the way they chose

to present this, the character design, the music,

the. color usage, everything was beautiful. It

was really, really, really gorgeous. I think

the one thing I regret about doing this show

is the fact that I can't watch it on my big screen.

Well, there's always time for that. You can,

you can follow up when we're not doing it. Oh,

for sure. For sure. You don't think I'm not going

to listen to this while I'm watching that on

my big screen. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah.

We got to smoke our own supply. You know, that's

part of it. All right. Are there any last thoughts

that you want to throw at the audience before

we wrap this one up? You know, I don't think

so, but I will say outside of the realm of that,

just because this is our first episode ever for

anyone that's out there listening, whether it

be as it's released or sometime down the line

and you're catching up. I just want to thank

you all for being here. This is a very cool project

that Remy, who's been a friend of mine for 20

plus years at this point. And, you know, something

that we just love doing and passionate about

just in general. So just want to thank you so

much for being a part of it. And I hope you enjoy.

And we'll see you on the next one. 100%. Y 'all

have a great night. Thank you for joining us
