[SPEAKER_01]: What is up everybody, welcome to Comic Book Club, I'm Alex.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Justin, and we are coming to you live for a couple of places on the internet where live on the LinkedIn of course for all your job and needs always first.
[SPEAKER_01]: Always first, YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, kick!
[SPEAKER_01]: But we did get kicked off of Facebook so if you're planning on watching us on Facebook I'm sorry you're gonna have to listen later wherever you get your audio podcast We're also there and if you want ad free versions of this podcast on podcast We do patreon.com slash comic book club now our buddy Pete is out this week because He's I believe doing like a sitcom like he spontaneously has kids now is that what's going on?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's it's called instant dad and he is
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell you what he's commudently if you're wondering, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think those rag-a-muffins are gonna win it over Yeah, definitely.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like this Santa Claus, but being for being an uncle Well, he just got Yeah, believe me if you have you kill an uncle right you throw them off the roof.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a little car that's like if you fight this card You are now an uncle
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I do we talk about the Santa Claus a lot on too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: We do too.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in my brain all the time Yeah, I think the problem is that it's like It's crazy that it was entirely movie like we're gonna make a movie about murdering Santa Claus That is not a harm movie, but I also think a lot about it like that's how all jobs work We have to kill the person in front of you and then you like you like and a more fint to him Oh, we got to we got to talk about how jobs work actually at some point because the bodies are starting to pile up
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I'm a freelancer, so I got a lot of killing to do you sure do and you know who's killing it lately is our guest this evening Sure's returning guests to the show previously.
[SPEAKER_01]: She did and concurrently does a project called the comics career But she is launching a new one a monthly zine that is on Kickstarter now called the comics staple Ladies and gentlemen Tiffany Bob Tiffany.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for having me
[SPEAKER_01]: oh my gosh that's very excited to have you are very excited to talk about this project so to run doubted I should have had the window open but here we go uh so you got 16 days to go on the Kickstarter wraps up on May 1st you had a $7,000 goal you are currently at 18,633 so you are funded congratulations thank you flood funded so we had you on the last time before you launched the comics career which was a quarterly
[SPEAKER_01]: publication about college of college twice a year.
[SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Half Lee.
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I kept thinking was by annual and apparently by annual means two different things.
[SPEAKER_00]: So people were just really confused.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry to say twice a year.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's the right move.
[SPEAKER_03]: That annual is very confusing because it's either oh, a fair amount or oh, never.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll never.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Once every two years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this one is much more frequent than that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is monthly, and it has a little bit of a different focus.
[SPEAKER_01]: So rather than be blather on, why don't you talk about it?
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the comic staple?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: The comic staple is going to be a monthly zine that gets mailed to your house or to your email inbox if you don't want to do the physical version.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be black and white.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be small like bite size pieces of writing.
[SPEAKER_00]: We put together an incredible team of reporters, critics, writers about comics and the whole where as the career is kind of like everybody's kind of writing about what they want in the history of comics.
[SPEAKER_00]: The staple is all about comics coming at that month.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's supposed to be useful for people who kind of want to get a grasp on what's going on in comics What comics you should be buying every month.
[SPEAKER_00]: What comics you might want to skip that sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like when a go to place for all of your comic shopping needs
[SPEAKER_01]: so talk a little bit about the schedule there because like you're saying you're trying to embrace monthly comics but comics of course have a weird publication schedule it's three months in advance but it's also of the month so not to get two of the weeds but I would love it if you've got the weeds editorially how are you arranging this
[SPEAKER_00]: Editorially, it's complicated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we're going to be covering everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to be covering monthly comics like the Direct Market Superhero books, as well as literary books, Graph Knobbles, the HoleshaBang.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, with weekly monthly comics, the production schedules a little shorter.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when our writers are getting advanced copies, they're going to have a faster turnaround.
[SPEAKER_00]: compared to like a regular like penguin book where they'll give you the book a month ahead of time and it's less of a fast turnaround.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of that is like that short turnaround is why we're doing a zeme and not you know a beautifully gorgeously printed color magazine because I need to do something that I can print my house, fold staple, get in the mail as soon as we can so we can keep it as up to date.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never been as up to date as website but we do want to keep it as up to date as
[SPEAKER_03]: Why is it important to have physical copies to get them in the mail?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I spend too much time online.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think every piece spends too much time online, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And to keep up in comics, like you have to check 10 websites, 15 websites.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like more comics for this is in the better.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like sometimes you just want like,
[SPEAKER_00]: really trusted voices to tell you here's the 10 comics you should be thinking about this month and that's what I want the stable to be and that's why it's going to be in print and small-ish.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can kind of read it on your way to the comic shop or while you're in line at the comic shop.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I now hate getting email and love getting actual mail and I never get actual mail and I always I'm getting emails right now I can feel them coming into my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it hurts a little each one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so I appreciate that, uh, a ton, the mailbox excitement.
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't replaced them in society.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it does feel like there's been a little bit of a turn there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the big example is probably the onion coming back to print where they've had a huge success story there, but obviously you've had a success story as well with comics career.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, what did you learn from that experience that you're taking to comic staple?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think just the Kickstarter bit, like figuring out the reward system, how to do a Kickstarter.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the biggest thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: The products themselves are quite different.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the career is very much like a premium product.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's beautifully designed.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like in a nice format.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's meant for like sitting down and focusing on reading it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the staple is, is, is zine, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's meant to be like tossing your bag and temporary.
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, it's just going to be, so it's a completely different production process, also because it's monthly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm working with same writers in and out.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the production, all of that, is going to be quite different.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're working with publishers, obviously, to get cover art, and to find out what books are coming out, to do interviews,
[SPEAKER_00]: the pierce form of criticism, which is just like the writer and the comic, and that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is kind of like more seated in the industry, I think, and I hope that will be more useful to people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not that the courier is not useful, but the courier is like a love letter.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like a a product I think will help people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is a hate letter exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's interesting to you talking about how like you're having to go to so many websites.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything's so like, bifurcated and niche.
[SPEAKER_03]: When I, it sounds like you're sort of scooping it all back up to say like, I actually read a lot of comics across the spectrum and I want news and thoughts on all of the different genres I read.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that correct?
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, because like,
[SPEAKER_00]: I chose these, I chose to work with these specific writers because they do read widely and people trust their voices and what's the point of doing this if we're just covering the same books, everyone else is covering, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to cover the big books, like you have to cover that man.
[SPEAKER_00]: or else, again, what's the point?
[SPEAKER_00]: But we also want to be showcasing books that people would not otherwise hear of, because that's the whole point of having something like this, which is, oh, okay, I've never heard of this, but David Brothers says it might be the book of the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I've definitely got to pick that up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Back when we first had you on before comics career, I remember correctly a lot of the discussion that we had was like, wow, what would it be great if Prince came back?
[SPEAKER_01]: We all miss it asserted sets, maybe not all of it, but like those wizard magazine days is the thing that everybody brings up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now not that there's like a flood of it, but there's the stuff you're doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the Darski Comic News, there's Comic, which gave way to comics, the magazine.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like there's at least one other that I'm forgetting out there, but people are definitely starting to lean back into that.
[SPEAKER_01]: What is your feeling on that trend?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I mean, this is kind of what we're talking about anyway, but why do people want this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do people feel this need again?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we've gotten to the point where there was a point where the internet's great, it's expanding, it's getting even better, and then it got so much worse.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I keep explaining gazine as my personal response to the death of comics Twitter, which is like, I used to feel so in the know, and I used to feel so connected to the comics community through the internet, and now I don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, this is my way of doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, the more the merrier, like I have a copy of comics magazine like literally right next to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I re-bubbles, like, it's so nice to be able to sit and read something in general.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then obviously we all love comics.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like, if, like, by next year we could have 20, that would be amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, can you talk us through like what do you talk about covering the different comics, but like can you like walk us through an issue of what the staple will look like is it going to be like a breakdown of what's happening in Batman is it like a deep dive connective thing between different a bunch of different comic characters is it like recommending a comic that you have
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it top 10 list of like the sexiest inquiries currently working?
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to feel like I should have that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's going to be a very short form reviews and recommendations to start off with.
[SPEAKER_00]: Rob Salquitz is going to do a news roundup of the month before.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to catch up on anything you might have missed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Douglas Wolk will be writing a limerick.
[SPEAKER_00]: every issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: I promise you, you will probably not see that elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do a feature interview with a big book of the month, some cool exciting book.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do a feature interview with the creators.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're never a local comic shop spotlight.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have some sort of like artist spotlight.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, there's places to expand, there's also not a ton of place to expand because it's going to be a short-ish scene.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that already feels like a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm also trying to figure out a way to have a more community space for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like people can maybe write in a common or two, and we'd print that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oliver Sava has pitched the name of that section as the Staples Center.
[SPEAKER_00]: He also came up with a name in the comics.
[SPEAKER_00]: It believes very good in naming things.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see how it grows.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is kind of what we're launching with.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been talking to Connor Greeter, especially younger readers.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they talk about how they're very, it's a lot more like buffet style.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they don't, I read every issue of a book.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the book.
[SPEAKER_03]: Even if it's like, I didn't like the issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to keep reading it.
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of other younger readers are like, yeah, I stopped reading that, but I'm gonna pick it up this month.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, you won't know what happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: How are you going to know?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: How are you doing this?
[SPEAKER_03]: And I feel like this is our religion.
[SPEAKER_03]: We need to respond.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I'm shaking them by the shoulders, but it feels like that's maybe what the staple is there.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the news for people like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's whatever is the most important thing this month.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like we...
[SPEAKER_00]: might we probably won't be doing free caps of the same books every month just because like unless it's like the best book of the month then your organ be in it because someone's going to want to write about it and all the writers are choosing their own coverage um i have guidelines which is like we want to cover some of the big books or a couple books that will have to cover obviously because we can't miss out on the big books but um
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason I'm working with these people is because they have their own voices and they have their own tastes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want that to be driving the zine more than anything else.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do want to bring up before I forget every week on the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a professional chef down in New Orleans named Brent McGriss.
[SPEAKER_01]: He works in a place called Shift, which is an amazing restaurant to check out.
[SPEAKER_01]: He creates a cocktail for us based on the guest or the thing that they're chatting about.
[SPEAKER_01]: This week he created the staple, which is a great sounding drink.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Rywisky Black Tees syrup.
[SPEAKER_01]: Agnister, a bitters smoked salt and orange peel, so it's very fancy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and you're just sort of mix it together, steep it for a minute, and it's with the tea.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just sifting through here, but it feels like newsprint a little bit, and as I guess part of the... That is so cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have all the ingredients to make this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just need to make some black tea syrup.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to make this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will send it your way.
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, if you're ever down in New Orleans, check out Shift.
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh gosh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, because I read that, I forgot the thing that I was, Oh, what are the things that I was thinking about when I was hearing about this?
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I have a news background as well as I feel that pressure of like the 24 hour news cycle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh god, if you've gone past 24 hours, you've missed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But something that I've found and it sounds like maybe you found and partially inspired this is like you can't keep up with everything and if people get to do is or a take or something a little later But it's actually okay and good even because there is this constant fire hose of stuff so I imagine that's at least part of it, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and like, it's, again, it's kind of the detox of being online, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're so used to refreshing and refreshing, and like we don't know the news a moment it breaks.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's useless.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, that's true if you're running a news site, like, they've been a moment in my career who are like, it does matter that I know the news exactly that minute.
[SPEAKER_00]: But as like a news consumer, like, it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if I just read, I was listening to podcasts and some guy was saying, he reads the news for 30 minutes a day at the end of the day.
[SPEAKER_00]: and that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't touch the news anywhere else.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like that's broke like you do get everything because at that of the day you know what the importance for his work and you're not like spending hours just like and he said what or like and what happened there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're still informed but it's just like compressed and I think you're saying
[SPEAKER_03]: how generations of people consumed news is no, this is just like a guy who's just like he's just like No, no, but we need to stop saying it's like back in the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like We can get you to say right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, or there was just the newspaper verse.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not we need it.
[SPEAKER_01]: A 24 hour constant stream of everything in our face all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: The idea of only consuming the news day for 30 minutes is amazing to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: How do you avoid it?
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I can't avoid the news.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's coming.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to get offline.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess it's a show.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do have a radio and I'll be refused.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, by me and I am.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm on line right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, internet.
[SPEAKER_00]: It follows us everywhere.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, now you've gone from a twice a year publication to now you're doing a monthly publication.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it going to get quicker and quicker as it goes or you're going to start doing a weekly and that a day or a day of the middle of my minute?
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've done daily website.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I've, at pop first, we were, we were a daily website.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we covered news and I mean, those were like high pressure moments, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause you're sitting there.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're announcing something.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see the guy from like,
[SPEAKER_00]: variety in front of you typing as fast as you can and you're like, I got to feed this guy or else no one's gonna click on my link coffee all over his lap Yes I mean I've seen Alex do this very same thing, it's maniac maybe It's terrifying and awesome at the same time, it gives you
[SPEAKER_01]: that adrenaline rush.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about the kickstarter though.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, like we mentioned earlier, I think you mentioned earlier, you can get the print version or you can get the digital version.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are there going to be any differences there in terms of the layout or anything like that?
[SPEAKER_00]: The layout will be the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: There will sometimes be a surprise in the print one, like perhaps a tip-in sheet or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: along those lines.
[SPEAKER_00]: It won't be every month because I've got to fold and save all these with maybe a friend or two, everyone.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just can't add more work, but everyone's while there will be something special for the print readers, that'll be a little different.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the actual scene itself will remain the same.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and anything else on the Kickstarter the people should look out for.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we've got a merch pack, which with features this mini print by the amazing Jose Pimanta.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a screen printed patch, which I thought, like really fit the DIY punk aesthetic, and then a great sticker, um, has not smell, uh, how designed both of our logos.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have to feature both because I think they're both really good and so there's merch back then there's a retailer tier which retailers get five issues a month if they need more or less you can also just email me and we can figure something out.
[SPEAKER_00]: The old fashioned way over email and then there's a sponsor tier for people who want to be in our sponsored section and support the scene.
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tiffany, this is such a cool project.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so excited that it's going to be successful and I can't wait to read it myself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else you want to plug?
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else people should check out before you go?
[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, just the staple in the career.
[SPEAKER_00]: The career will still be coming out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our Kickstarter should go live in June, I think.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's just that.
[SPEAKER_01]: the comic at comics career dot com and then the staples at comic staples dot com awesome and i look forward to your every second zine when that comes out of my ear to there it's going to be like dropped by pigeons in front of your door i'm into it let's do it constant activity thank you so much for coming on great see you thank you

[SPEAKER_03]: This is probably a check with money.
[SPEAKER_03]: That might not.
[SPEAKER_03]: It wants money.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a reverse check.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm full.
[SPEAKER_01]: Check out the comic staple and folks we're going to move to our next section.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is my favorite section because you all make it up.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hello, we're just talking about you and showing off your recipe

[SPEAKER_02]: You fixed it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You fixed it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been seeing you walk around your house for the last time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been trying to figure out.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, here's a quick backwards.
[SPEAKER_02]: I literally, I just got my sewing machine back from getting fixed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I can't figure out the lighting in this stupid room that I'm in.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, propping it up against,
[SPEAKER_02]: the sewing machine and like try to figure out do this and I'm like, we I haven't I have one of those like stupid arms, they can just put your clicker foot so that's like this, you're talking about this right here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so now I haven't worked out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I have to figure that out.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we are bringing you in for this kind of sad reason But something that you did want to break up, and we did want to support you in and it was a good fun thing at the end there Just to give a little preview for everybody, but do you want to talk about what's going on Brett?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so my friend Michael Garcia got shot
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, I'm not going to put that out, that's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, that's that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my friend Michael Garcia, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my friend Michael Garcia, we could go today, was shot and killed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now this guy was like a huge part of our community.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a huge part of New Orleans and the culture and the beer culture
[SPEAKER_02]: All of that, he was a friend of mine, he was a friend of most people, and he happened to just, I mean, we live in the warlands, it could sometimes be a violent city.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for all the love that goes around for all the celebrations and the parades and all of that stuff, we love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the end of the day, there's still violence that happens here.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he was on his way to his girlfriend's house.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he got, he stopped at a red light.
[SPEAKER_02]: Literally all he did was stop at a red light.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was an accident.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the two guys that were in the accident started to shoot out literally over 30 rounds of gunfire and our friend Michael got hit.
[SPEAKER_02]: So leaving behind a daughter that's in college a partner that loved him clearly and a whole community that loved him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was a 20 year marine veteran.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was ironically, the next day had a community board meeting to go and talk about how to improve our community.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a staple, he was the guy that you saw, and I would be working, clearly I work at shift, and he would come into the brewery where we work.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was just that enigmatic and he was charismatic and he was like a magnet for love and for friendship and you know all these things
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to get emotional so you're making me cry as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Saturday we had a really big awesome New Orleans style celebration for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: A second line.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in Chewboccus.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in the crew of Space Vikings and they all came out.
[SPEAKER_02]: His Marine veteran guys, they all came out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had posted a lot of this on the Discord, the Combo Club Discord, and they hundreds of people showed up.
[SPEAKER_02]: The news showed up.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was wild.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a big celebration for Michael, and we all loved him.
[SPEAKER_02]: The family now is there's a GoFundMe for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: For his family, there's also a meal train for his family, but I'm still working on that, but the GoFundee is live, and we're hoping to raise money to help offset all the costs of what it means when a family member dies, and what you have to do to get through that, and though that's what I'm here to talk about.
[SPEAKER_02]: And really, Michael was the kind of person that,
[SPEAKER_02]: We should have had that celebration for him before he ever died.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's how awesome and loving he was.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, listen, thank you for talking about that, Brad.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for sharing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, you had mentioned a lot of this in our comic book club discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we, of course, wanted to support this go fun me as much as possible.
[SPEAKER_01]: If people who are listening want to check it out, I dropped a link in the chat here on the live show.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's on go fun me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's honoring Michael Garcia support for his family.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can search for that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And not to gave a five this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, not the game if I, but so I, I spoke to the person, so that this is how beloved he was, his landlord is the one that's doing the go for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I spoke to the landlord today and I was like, hey, I'm going to go on combo club live this afternoon this evening and I would love to be able to say that whoever
[SPEAKER_02]: who's watching the show and whoever is the discord, whoever, whoever in the donation, puts CDC in their name and whoever donates the most will get one of my aprons.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm a show.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I also like, I've sewn aprons as you guys know.
[SPEAKER_02]: And most recently, Pete's Starbucks apron,
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: So whoever donates the most will get an apron sewn by me a shift apron I have two right now like this one that I've sewn that literally says shift on it in the front.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I have this other one that's pretty cool too.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going to donate whichever one they choose and we'll have to figure out how to connect.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I will know who donates the most with that tagline, CBC in their name, that the person doing the GoFundane will contact me and tell me who donated the most and then you will get one of those aprons.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I feel a little bit about gamifying and absolutely tragedy that happened to somebody but it's for the good cause it's for the good cause so I'm not going to do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will mention looking at it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're at 21,000 and 55 dollars requested 22k so if people do I know money is always tied all over but if people can donate if they do want to it's a great cause.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can, again, go to GoFedMe.com slash f slash honoring Michael Garcia support for his family, or just do a search on the site, put CBC at your game, and Brett graciously is going to catch you one of his awesome awesome aprons, which is really cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100%.
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you fellas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for letting me do trivia today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, this was a trivia with a little nod, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: We did trivia with a little nod to the legend.
[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Garcia.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it is, it's crazy how much that's real.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Fred, thank you for coming on our condolences to you and our condolences to Michael Garcia and his family.
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully talk to you under better circumstances soon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100%.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thanks, Brad.
[SPEAKER_01]: See you, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, there we go, awful, awful story.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I feel like we met him, or I've definitely, I've been done a shift a few times now.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think I was in the bar with him, a couple, once, at least once.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So sad.
[SPEAKER_01]: So sad, so awful, but very nice and really wonderful the bread to do something for the family.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not to do a hard pivot, but as I mentioned earlier, if anybody has any questions about nerd stuff, we're anything like that, you can get us out.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know it sounds weird, but we actually need you to send some questions.
[SPEAKER_01]: Please drop them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, we're going to be talking about more scientists for really sending really sending stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you drinking, Justin?
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you drinking right now?
[SPEAKER_03]: Great question.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a larceny bourbon and uh, for Mooth.
[SPEAKER_03]: of larceny from I was just out visiting my wife in Cincinnati, which if you don't know is actually right on the border of Kentucky, where bourbon is, where there's a lot of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the bourbon's a little fresher there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what you want is straight from the tap burbs, you know, that's some fresh burbs.
[SPEAKER_03]: How was a city?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's just like Frank Miller wrote about.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's like bad, that's very There's only one color really anywhere most of the anybody with like swastika tape tits or anything like that Yeah, yeah, that's that's a name of a couple bars and restaurants brunch spot A lot of people really concerned about oh since it was fun actually if it also flew to Phoenix
[SPEAKER_03]: And this I haven't posted this picture yet, but when I was in Cincinnati, my wife's doing a show where she's playing Rosemary Clooney and Cincinnati, the musical called Tender Lee, she's there for the next five weeks, that's why I'm slowly graying across my face with hair-wise.
[SPEAKER_03]: But because of that, we went to see Rosemary Clooney's house that's become a museum.
[SPEAKER_03]: in the and town near where she grew up and they have a lot of one side of the room is donated is dedicated to George Clooney and they have some really fun signed pictures of him as Batman.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will post it's very ridiculous.
[UNKNOWN]: That's very funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: you have the poster they have on the wall honoring George Clooney of course you have a guess it's leatherheads the movie leather abs hey most hated for a movie that i forgot existed oh my god all right we do actually have some questions coming in here uh quick one from david quintley so while you all streaming on facebook uh we're not it was just a ever that happened i will fix it by next week
[SPEAKER_01]: It happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no anti-meda or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: We love meta.
[SPEAKER_03]: We love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We love Mark Zuckerberg.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alan, Alex is wearing meta glasses and has been for years.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: You actually do you guys everywhere clothes because I can't do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Really good technology.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's useful and appropriate.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shrekler says, what's your favorite historical era to see depicted in comics?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a shoy-clear stumper, but I like this one, it's interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, first thing that came to mind, and this is just because of the one thing, but like, I was enamored as a kid with the thing traveling through time, both like the pirate, blood-wears black beard, that was great.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also loved the stuff with Rama-tut for some reason, really like they traveled back to ancient Egypt.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was literally some of the weirdest fantastic forest stories.
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% but I love them.
[SPEAKER_03]: The, I mean, the my first answer is, it's hard because a lot of the the era, his early errors are done well and equal and equal measured on poorly, but I would shout out red coat and I've been enjoying the sort of revolutionary war and into the 18th and into the 19th century stuff that they've been doing there.
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... this question from Derek main art thoughts on the new spider roostreller i didn't realize that there was a new spider roostreller i know that they showed off
[SPEAKER_01]: Look of it at cinema con.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if any of that leaked online.
[SPEAKER_01]: It probably did because everything does But I did see some of the pictures and they look really awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it looks great Will this movie I'm so dubious of this movie when it's gonna come out like this movie was supposed to be out wasn't it is it this year Was it last?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it was like 20 23 or something like that It was supposed to come out a really long time ago
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, that actually was my first reaction as well, where they were like, come it out, 20, 27.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, it is not.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's crazy to have it be pushed off them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, everybody says this, I'll echo it as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think like, take as long as they want.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they're trying to make something that's really innovative and beautiful.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to see it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Russian didn't make it bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, I should make it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Me need stories, put stories in me face.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and then I'll be mad at it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not the quality I like.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I'm a fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm called a fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: Paula Martinez says, what are you waiting for as far as cinema con?
[SPEAKER_01]: So for people who don't know, I was probably just explained this because this is a kind of a weird thing, but
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a convention that happens down in Vegas early and it is for the movie studios to present and schmooze with the cinema owners with the movie theater owners to usually show off just the stuff that's coming out over the next year so they can be like
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you're, you're still a great thing that we're putting in theaters.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is why you should book lots of screens for my movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: They usually bring out stars, do lots of, pull out all the stops, they have parties, etc.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so it's, but it's also a trade convention.
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that gets kind of under-reported is a lot of it actually is like,
[SPEAKER_01]: meetings and uh one on not one on one but like smaller panels about like here's some issues with the city of the industry but what gets reported on is like so here's how to make the popcorn butter taste better exactly uh versus here's a hologram of Tom Holland introducing new footage for brand new day or whatever
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a lot of things, it's something that was a non-event, it was like a business thing that has now become like an earnings call for a Disney call that was not earnings but um well I don't know when it happened but like it was a couple of years ago they started allowing press in and this is it's now become a whole thing because of influencers and they've allowed influencers in as well for the past couple of years and
[SPEAKER_01]: So everybody is there with their phones being like it's in a con here's a photo of literally every single poster Even though they're the same posters we already see and here's my out of the theater reaction of this thing constantly So it's just a constant flow.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't tell if I'm frozen or Alex is but I will Oh Who's frozen?
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you guys hear me?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is gonna be great for the auto podcast
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... was it you me or both of us will never know let's hope not for now somebody let us know the comments for just happen yes please tell us who who failed here uh... we said cinema kind of they shut us down who did he is present it was you it was your fault oh great well great uh... what i was saying though is uh...
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a sort of a fake thing that has become a real thing because now it's the thing that people do and go That's where you get a lot of news where Project Hail Mary last year had its first sort of introduction Then built the hype that made it the hit that it was.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it's real
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is real, uh, to get back to Pablo's question about what are we waiting for in CinemaCon.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say that one of the things that already happened and certainly met expectations and this is a very wonky thing to say.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Tom Rothman, the head of Sony, who usually kicks off CinemaCon usually says something that is like real hot button.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this year, in his presentation to movie theater owners, he was like, we got a wide and up the theatrical, this is apparently what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was not there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was like, we got a wide and up the theatrical window.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're in theater slaughter and everybody is like, woo!
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was also like, I'll say you guys got to cut it out with all these ads.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were like,
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently it was silent, but that was like, yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently went to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was like, listen, I love theaters.
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys are not thinking about the long-term strategy by having half a hour of ads before every movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a bad experience for people and it is leading to a degrading of the theater experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was very clear about, like, I say this out of love for the theatrical experience cut it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that to me I was like great.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we should be getting out of here, but it turns a movie stuff I think like
[SPEAKER_01]: probably going to show off in a ventures doomsday trailer and that's probably the big vague there's how could they not run it early do that they have to they have to so curious how soon that's going to come out after that online and I don't know this is like very sketchy sources but there was some report that came out the previous day that they held a test screening of doomsday and people actually loved it and said it was
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm telling you I've been a I've been on board.
[SPEAKER_03]: You Real tough all you ripped me about this movie and I'll tell you what I got a gut feeling.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna be good I don't know I don't want to say too much But I think it's gonna be good stuff
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall see.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, easy reader says, did you watch the Artemis two coverage?
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, though, is the only thing I can think of.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, this is very appropriate because they're the fantastic forward, basically, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, is it one of the day read?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I was like, how is more people not talked about this?
[SPEAKER_03]: This is basically that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because they just went up and it came back and I mean, I was watching it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hated to be like Pete who like wants to drink ooze on the street to see if he turns into a turtle.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I was, I was in a restaurant bar watching the Artemis 2 and then the capsule and I was like, hell yeah, I was like show them getting out of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Show them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see them change.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the fact that it was a nice reminder that tech and science could be like, wow, this is awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we all round around to be awesome versus the general feeling now, which I was thinking a lot about this morning of like,
[SPEAKER_01]: A.I.
[SPEAKER_01]: makes me feel bad and it makes me feel bad about like you're enjoying tech.
[SPEAKER_01]: So like to have something go with the other direction was very nice for a trade.
[SPEAKER_03]: Something happened that was genuinely inspiring and worked out well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So where something was said and then it was accomplished in a positive way.
[SPEAKER_03]: truly like I feel like every other news item is a low hum of stress that occasionally peaks into a like ice cold needle in the back of my neck so that was nice to have just a warm fuzzy story to just have I was like it just happened and it worked out and it was so exciting just stressful in a way that was catharsis said in immediately and it was great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, not that we could have that all the time that things happen, but G, it sort of makes you think that like maybe if we leaned into good things and exploration and positivity, maybe everybody would feel a little better.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, just a thought.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as a follow up, Michael T says, did they announce what powers they got up there?
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe the powers of knowledge and science.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, respect and one guy can shoot those out of his hands.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but they're like a little now's the little ones like dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's uh, yeah, it's really good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're like, uh, roofing nails really annoying and we got one last one here maybe last one from Shoy Claire.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are toys you bought for your kids that you played with more than they did?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I mean,
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I've played with the toys more.
[SPEAKER_03]: I maybe spent more time putting together the Barbie Dreamhouse than my kids ever actually played with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, which is a sad stat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I could look behind me and see.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I would say the television show, Blueie, yes, something.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, your kids got a water right in the middle of the seven-minute show, and you're still launching them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm grinding on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got me watching this.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll cry.
[SPEAKER_03]: They still look at me like you crying.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I always cry at this when it's about going camping.
[SPEAKER_01]: There were a couple.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's not a toy, but like there's definitely a couple of puzzles.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, come on kids, let's do these puzzles together.
[SPEAKER_01]: And hours later, I'm sitting there still putting in the pieces.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a sleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is true, my kids, we are a Puzzon, sometimes, mostly me.
[SPEAKER_03]: The other thing I was going to say is I'm watching Adventure Time with them, an episode by episode, and man, that show is so good.
[SPEAKER_04]: So good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have to my stupid thing is I've watched the first two seasons like four times because I get to the end of the second season and then I get distracted do something else And I'm like crap and then I never remember what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you don't need back to the beginning
[SPEAKER_03]: No, just go for a pick-up, because honestly, shit gets so good and intense and like mid-season 4.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like when they start to really string things together and build this wild mythology, it is the best mythology.
[SPEAKER_03]: in in TV I think it's so interesting and smart and funny and dumb at the same time like please watch it you also it's very it's almost lost Ian like you wouldn't love it I'm not really a big fan of lost oh wow
[SPEAKER_01]: You only like the last episode.
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you watched Los or just came in for the last step?
[SPEAKER_01]: Kim for the last episode.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like events.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I like everybody like going together, watching a thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just God's playing chess.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the second to last episode.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Derrick Mainhart says, what toys of yours are your kids not allowed to play with?
[SPEAKER_01]: Sadly, almost none of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, there's a couple of action figures and packages I'm looking in that I prefer them not to take out of the packages, but at the same time if they did, I wouldn't be to upset.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you know what, these are, no, they are toys.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like, I have, when I got my job at MTV.
[SPEAKER_01]: Todd McFarlane sent me a signed Darryl Dixon that was like go get him kid Todd McFarlane and that's so nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god it was amazing and so that's still in the box and I will never take that out of the box.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow so they're not allowed to play with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's going to be frozen and resin as your gravestone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes it's actually that's going to be buried while they
[SPEAKER_01]: Good, Darrell goes down finally.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's him for your audience questions now.
[SPEAKER_01]: We already kind of not exactly did trivia So why don't we move on and talk about what's coming out tomorrow?
[SPEAKER_01]: Justin, what are you looking forward to you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Lots of stuff coming lots of fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean
[SPEAKER_03]: With a big one for me, it has to be ice cream and number 45.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, we've had a little bit of a gap in our ice cream time, but I've been a good boy and I've earned some ice cream and so I'm going to enjoy it when it comes out tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've missed that flavor so much.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mentioned it before but read code number 17 is coming up.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really enjoy that book.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a great book across the board.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Wonder Woman 32's coming.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's get on board with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I will also say, is it the last issue of ultimate Wolverine?
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: that will be interesting curious where that ends up.
[SPEAKER_03]: This new the arc that was added when the book did so well has been interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels I it's Wolverine and Jean in the ultimate universe.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm hoping there's a nice emotional ending to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, all of those sound great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to give a shout out to absolute Batman, of course.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an event to every single month.
[SPEAKER_01]: So always eager to see what's going on there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also just interested to check out the second issue of X-Men United.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really enjoy the first issue there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was very cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like what Evel Ewing was doing on exceptional X-Men.
[SPEAKER_01]: So hope that keeps it up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll also mention Night City number three from Dark Horse Comics.
[SPEAKER_01]: and David Lappem about a superman type character who has trouble falling asleep when he finally falls asleep.
[SPEAKER_01]: He finds himself in another room where he's the Clark Kent without the superpowers.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's cool and weird like Matt Kent always does.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the last one I'll mention is Edd of Life number three from Kyle Starks and Steve Pew that's coming out from Vertigo.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that series has just been a ridiculous blast.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about a disaster.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was forced to go home.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the run from a cabal of animal head mask killers who are after him called the Menagerie.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Kyle Starks plagued with his best humor stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Steve, Pew, plagued it to it as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just very, very fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: A gritty.
[SPEAKER_01]: And folks, that is it for this week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe.
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're a little loose this week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete is the one who usually produces the entire shell and puts it in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: He really keeps it together.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the glue.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he'll be back next week once he has been killed himself as an uncle.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's everybody else becomes an uncle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be a doctor.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
