Welcome to the podcast.
[00:01:18] Speaker B: Paul.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: It's been a while.
[00:01:19] Speaker B: Holy, you look so long. I'm in a whole other place.
[00:01:22] Speaker A: I said it looks like you've been in a. Did you teleport to a different spot?
[00:01:26] Speaker B: No, it was funny as fast as we did it.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: Well, it's, it's true. It's insane how quickly it's kind of like how you have to do it. It's not even just like when you move from house to house, you're like, cool, get all the crap in there and we'll set it up. Get the beds going so you can sleep on the beds. But like, let's figure it out later with where the clothes is for tomorrow and so on and so forth. But like, when you move a business like this, you kind of have to like, be ready be because close for a few days. And if you close for too long of days, it's bad for business, it's bad financially, it's all that stuff. So you have to kind of like time it out and figure out what the best solution is. Luckily, the first of the month was like the beginning of the week, so you were able to like start your rent or start your moving in there and then be like, Ready to go a couple days later. How was the move?
[00:02:16] Speaker B: So as of last night, I wasn't so happy, but it's good. Last night we finished closing out the original Galactic Comics.
Our. Our landlord down there was like, not that worried about it. He's converting our old shop into an apartment. He's like, I'm not even going to get in there to figure anything out yet. So we had some time, but last night was like, we got to get this done done.
So at I think 8 or 8:30, we were still lugging random stuff out of there, cleaning.
And we took everything out of that shop in three hours to set up the store. But there's all the like, extra stuff, the like, extra shells we don't use. I don't even know if I need.
There was stuff in the office. There was all this stuff that like, had sat around and yeah, that was, that was awful last night. But overall the move is great. Like, we got. We had. We had 20 people helping us.
Crazy move. We got everything done in three hours. I think the biggest part of all of it, the store setup was in a few days time with, I want to say four or five people here all the time, just.
And just ready to go. We. We reopened, we closed.
Let's see. We closed Friday night. That was the, the closing. We. Saturday, we started moving and was reopened Wednesday, ready to go. And our new shop is awesome.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: It looks great. Been in there twice though. It's funny because Taylor wanted. That's why we were there on Saturday. She was like, I want to go see the shop. And so we swung through and. And showed the kids the, the shop and Taylor the shop. And it was really cool. And I ran. It was funny. It's like, ran. I ran into your wife at target like 20 minutes prior to that, like, in the parking lot, like, and that's just funny. It's like we drove in, we're like, maybe we'll go inside for a little bit because our order wasn't ready yet.
Like, we tend to do that a lot. We're always like, place the order and like, get in the car and drive. We're like, oh, shit. They actually have to like, get the stuff. This is not like, they just immediately have it available. And so we went and grabbed a prescription for Nova and did a couple other things. And we're like driving there, like pulling in the parking lot, like, crap, it's not done yet. So I kind of like circled to the backside of the parking lot, waited there for like 30 seconds until I got the Email orders ready. So cool. So we pulled around, and I pull in, and 10 seconds later, there's this gold minivan comes playing, pulling in next to us, in the spot next to us for pickup. And I'm like, that V, that van looks familiar. And it was Liz. It was just kind of funny to see that. And I didn't say anything to her, but I was like, oh, we're in my mind. I'm like, we're gonna go over and see the shop, and it's beautiful. I think that's cool.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: I think I see you guys as much at Target as I see you anywhere.
Well, we.
[00:04:48] Speaker A: Well, we don't go as often anymore, Paul. We live about 35 minutes away now. So it's like, if we need something quick and easy and fast, there's a Walmart like, less than a mile away. So we usually end up going there.
But Target does have its, you know, privilege or fun things to do there and stuff. We do, like going there. And if we have to go to Bangor for some other reason, like, we had to get that prescription, we'll do that shopping there. But, like, yeah, if not, Walmart's right here. But, yeah, it was kind of funny. We do run into each other a lot. You and the kids, or you. I don't know if I've run into you and Liz together.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: I don't know if Liz and I go anywhere together anymore.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: I think chasing the kids for something.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: They need you and the kids. Not always all the kids. It's you and, like, one or two kids.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: One or two. I. I try not to get singled out and do the whole three of them.
And one foul swoop. No, it's hard to put two of
[00:05:35] Speaker A: you guys in three, especially the middle
[00:05:36] Speaker B: and the little one. I try to take one, either the middle or the little. And I'll take the oldest. But, yeah, not. I'm not stupid enough to take all three solo.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: Well, it was just kind of funny because I'm like, oh, okay. Rye's getting over a cold, and Nova has this situation. So I'm like, I don't really want to go in right now. It was just kind of timing was for. Well, Paul, I went to Florida for. For my father's. My grandfather's memorial, and in the parking lot at a Walmart in Florida, which is obviously not crazy because they were there for the same reason I was. But my aunt and her now fiance, they actually got engaged a couple days later, were in the parking lot as well. And it was just kind of one of Those weird timing things. I even forgot something in the hotel that had to go back up and get. And come down. And we ended up at this Walmart in this area. Because obviously in that area in Florida, there's like a dozen Walmarts and have to be entering the building at the same time there. It was just a timing thing. It's like. It wasn't crazy because obviously they're there in Florida for the memorial, but, like, to run them into the parking lot, I was like, this is insane. This is so crazy. But that's 10. That's my life, Paul. I run into people that I know everywhere.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: I do the same thing. Yeah, the kids get frustrated with it. Go anywhere without you knowing somebody. I'm like, no.
[00:06:47] Speaker A: I was half expecting on the. The connecting flight that. The little, like, pond skipping flight from. From New York to Bangor, I was actually half expecting to be, like, in the seat next to someone who, like, goes to your shop or something like that.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: Right?
[00:06:58] Speaker A: Like, it'd be like.
But yeah. So, yeah. Deadpool 10th anniversary. So how insane is it that it's been 10 years?
[00:07:07] Speaker B: God, I cannot believe it's been 10 years since this movie came out.
[00:07:10] Speaker A: It's like, 10 years.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: I can't.
It feels like if you were gonna ask me how old this movie was, I would have guessed maybe five years.
[00:07:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: Like, I cannot believe it's been out for 10 years.
[00:07:24] Speaker A: The. But the pandemic does that to us, though. I feel like the pandemic was part of that.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It's funny, in moving the shop, all those weird things I found from the original days of the pandemic and where we. Because we started in Pandemic. Like, we started and then the pandemic hit.
So I found, like, a thank you letter from a creator that sent us books during the COVID shutdown to, like, support shops of, like, here's some extra trades you guys can sell. Don't worry about paying me for them, like, if you can use them, stuff like that.
And I found the letter in the office, and I was like, oh, man, that is. That is crazy to think.
Yeah, yeah.
It's sort of crazy to think that it happened, like, the whole, like, shutting down everywhere and everything.
So when you go back to go, oh, my God, Deadpool was ten years ago.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Because it, like, shows this, like, this. This time space that was like, we're not that long, but also felt like it was super long.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Yeah, 10 years feels like forever ago. But I mean, also, like, I have. I have kids in that era. So 10 years goes by really fast. You know, when you get the munchkins and them growing up, what do you got? You got somebody beating on your door or something?
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Well, I know Taylor's here. So I was looking out there. She just, she randomly came inside. So I wanted to see if she needed me for something. But no, I guess she doesn't need me. She doesn't ever need me.
[00:08:54] Speaker B: No, no, not really.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: No. But like the, the idea that. So Deadpool came out in February 12th of 2006.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: Perfect timing for Valentine's Day.
[00:09:03] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. It actually is a love story.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: Right?
[00:09:05] Speaker A: I mean, it really is.
[00:09:06] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. It's a love story. I know what you're thinking. This, my boyfriend said this is a superhero movie.
[00:09:12] Speaker A: Well, that's, I mean, the heart of what we're going to talk about here is that it's such a crazy change from like, you have Invincible, which is a like adult superhero story, but it's still a traditional superhero story at its heart, you know, I mean, like, the story itself is still, you got action heroes and you got teams and you got these people and so on, so forth.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: It still feels very familiar to your superheroes.
[00:09:41] Speaker A: But it has that, okay, this is for adults. We're gonna swear, we're gonna have blood, we're gonna have violence and that stuff. Whereas this was like, it's like a juxtaposition on, on superhero movies, which is like, you know, Deadpool's not a hero in that sense.
[00:09:57] Speaker B: He, you know. Yeah, that's one of my favorite lines in the movie. I'm no hero.
[00:10:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: I'm just a bad guy who does worse stuff to worse guys.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: But then also, like, we've had comedy in movies, I mean, since 2008. Iron man or even I read around there, because I don't think there wasn't much comedy in like the original X Men movies or Blade or any of those movies. There's no joke here.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: A little one liner thing here or there, but not much.
[00:10:19] Speaker A: Yeah. And so when you get into this movie where it was like, this is a comedy movie, like, this is a comedy.
And the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had jokes and fun moments, which I've loved. That's one of the things I loved about the MCU is the fact that like, it's not a fully serious movie. Like there's serious moments.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: It has stuff for everybody because it has those fun things in it. Yeah. In this movie, I swear to God, like still hear things that I didn't pick up on before, because, I mean, just like, as Deadpool will be, Ryan Reynolds, like, never stops. He's just going and going and going and going.
[00:10:53] Speaker A: But that's also because it's a passion. I mean, since the day he played Deadpool, the quote unquote, Deadpool in the X Men franchise, which was kind of
[00:11:03] Speaker B: like, I guess that Deadpool was considerably worse than the Green Lantern movie we watched.
[00:11:10] Speaker A: Oh, absolutely.
[00:11:11] Speaker B: Absolutely. That whole movie was considerably worse.
[00:11:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: If we're gonna go for bad, bad superhero movies to watch, we probably need to watch that.
I don't remember what movie that was. What was that? Wolverine. Origin. Origin. Wolverine, X Men. X Men. Warren, whatever.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Well, it was a whole thing where they were going to do a bunch of them. They were gonna do, like, Magneto Origins and all that stuff. It's like, then they just. They lose their. They don't do as well on it. Like, I'll just give up on it instead of trying for the second one. Like.
[00:11:37] Speaker B: Right.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: I would have loved to see Magneto Origins and Professor X Origins and things like that would have been great. But, yeah, they. It was. It was very bad. The. The whole character was bad in that movie or the movie was that too. But, like, the character was. But the one thing I could understand, I couldn't understand about it is that it was PG13, so you couldn't have real Deadpool, but, like, you know, like, in the mcu, we had, you know, Thor Ragnarok instead of Planet Hulk. I think because of the. The contracts and the rights to things and things like that, like understanding that, like, by gluing his mouth shut, you don't get the wise cracking Deadpool. So I can understand that being, like,
[00:12:16] Speaker B: everything that Deadpool is correct.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: But I understand, like, you almost could have done, like, the same character and also, like, more motion things, because you can't say the things.
Like, he could have done something better than that. But, like, I understood why they blew his mouth shots because he couldn't be the Deadpool that we all want to be. And so they gave you an excuse of reason why that was. However, that wasn't the only thing they changed. It wasn't the only thing that it was like, there's a lot of other things that came so much stuff so bad. And so Ryan Reynolds plays that character and knows that he wants to be something other than that character, what was in that movie. And so he fought for a long time to have this movie made and to play the character and to be this person and said that we're not gonna just hold back. We're gonna have some fun with it. We're gonna do whatever. And Marvel took a risk. It really was a humongous risk to do it.
[00:13:03] Speaker B: So the traditionally R rated movies, I guess don't do as volunteers. Why so many movies do push for a PG13 rating, even though I think it's a bad call. Things like the. Was it. The fourth Die Hard movie was PG13. And it just doesn't feel like Die Hard because it's just not the way that John McClane behaved. It's not the way the rest of the movies were. And this is another things. Although I've got to actually sit down and watch the PG13 Deadpool. Is it the second one that they did
[00:13:35] Speaker A: Once Upon a Deadpool was Deadpool 2 and it was.
Fred Savage was in it and he was reading him a story because I
[00:13:43] Speaker B: watched some of it and it is hilarious. It's so funny because everyone, I guess more critics said that the only reason the movie was so popular is because Ryan Williams could say and do whatever he wanted. So with the R rating. So he was like, well, I'll prove you wrong. And he made like a PG13 version that for what I've seen of it is still hilarious.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: It's hilariously good and I love it. I think it's amazing is I think they proved their point. However, part of the comedy was the fact that they took an already movie and made it a PG13 movie. So part of the comedy wasn't.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: It wasn't the only version of it.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: What was the obvious taking something out or blurring something out or the obvious bleeping of words, things like that. So the obviousness of it made it funny. And so that like it's not as simple as standing on its own. The way to stand on your own is to make a credibly funny and amazing movie as PG 13 as Deadpool 3 or 4 or 5.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: And that's the hard part is you're willing to bet anyone watching that that PG13 Deadpool had already watched the regular.
[00:14:38] Speaker A: Yes, they watched it to see what it was like to see how they could do it.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Yeah, so that's true. That's fair. But the, the R rated Deadpool, I mean it's what the character is, it's what he needs.
And yeah, they took a hell of a risk putting it out there because it could have flopped, it could have tanked. Instead it did. 700. What was it, $758 million?
[00:14:57] Speaker A: 82 point. $782.6 million on a 58 million dollar budget.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: I think they made their money back.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: A significant return on investment there, that is.
[00:15:07] Speaker B: And it was. What was it? The highest.
[00:15:09] Speaker A: It was so at the moment, in 2016, it was the highest grossing at the time. So it's since been beaten by Deadpool 2. Okay. The demon Slayer movie that came out, which with the obsession with anime and stuff like that, that's not surprising.
And then also Oppenheimer was R rated. The first Joker also beat it. And then Deadpool and Wolverine beat it. So it was beat by two other Deadpool movies.
But Joker, I'll tell you right now, Joker wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for Deadpool.
[00:15:40] Speaker B: Oh. If it hadn't been with the success of Deadpool, I don't see Warner Brothers trying to do an R rated superhero movie or villain movie or whatever. Yeah. If it wasn't for this success.
[00:15:50] Speaker A: However, what I will say is Deadpool got beaten by Deadpool 2, which got beaten by Deadpool 3. Okay. Joker and then Joker 2 just sucked. So there was.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: I still have not watched Joker 2 and I don't know that I will ever dedicate the time to watch that. It's. But I mean, there's a curiosity in it for me that I kind of want to see what the hell this thing is about. But at the same time, I honestly didn't really like the Joker movie in the first place. Yeah, I think as a movie it was great. But as a Joker Batman Universe movie, it's got so many problems. I couldn't see it. It was just different.
This is fantastic. Standing in the Marvel Universe.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: And Deadpool's fourth wall breaking of going into like, you know, Colossus dragging him off and he's like, we're gonna go talk to the professor. And he's like, oh, which one is it? These universes are so confusing.
Timelines are so confusing.
[00:16:45] Speaker A: But it's fascinating to see and it's a lot. You see it more often nowadays because the way that they're stretching the difference between sequels, like years between sequels. So like Toy Story 5 when it comes out this summer is going to beat the amount of money that Toy Story one made. That's everyone given everybody has to go see it. Tickets cost more money, inflation, all that stuff. So like if you did a gross adjusted for inflation and all that stuff maybe. But like sequels, when they're made so far away from the originals are going to make more money. Like Zootopia 2 made more money in Zootopia 1.
[00:17:16] Speaker B: Because generations now. Yes.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: And so you have to go see it that way people would potentially go see the movie more than one time because they're multiple kids or. But to see the Deadpool. Deadpool 2 and Deadpool 3 all came out obviously within 10 years because this is 10 years old. So in 10 years they had three movies.
So Deadpool 2 beat Deadpool 1 by like $4 million. So it wasn't like it crashed drastically, but it did equal if you think about it. And then Deadpool 2 basically doubled.
They made 1.4 billion with Deadpool 3. I mean which has to do with
[00:17:48] Speaker B: the fact of having Hugh Jackman back as well.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: Green that everyone diverse out of there what he wanted, what we're going to see out of it. So.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: But to see started connecting, actually truly connecting all the universe stuff together.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: But two sequels make more money than the original in 10 years is utterly fascinating in my opinion. That shows how amazing the character was built, created and crafted and portrayed on screen. That people want to go see more of what we saw before. And we get that two and three. You get similar vibes and feels and all that stuff. But they're different. So it's not like they went to Deadpool 2 and been like a completely different character.
Deadpool 2 is just an expansion on Deadpool 1 and the same thing with 3. Same kind of witty humor and the same grossness and blood and disgusting and you know, stuff like that. So they are. It's a great trilogy in that sense. But it all started with Deadpool 1 2016. It was groundbreaking. I mean I had friends that were never into superhero movies. Ever into superhero movies. Went and saw this movie multiple times in theaters, like multiple times.
[00:18:52] Speaker B: In some respects the R rating might have drawn attention to the. Wait, there's an R rated Marvel movie? Like that's not the world we were in with like all this. And at that time we were still going through some of the origins of characters and some of these like first, you know, the Avengers and Thor and Iron man. It all started coming and he started. We were getting more and more first role characters. So people knew I think the gist of what Marvel movies were. And then to have this beautiful such a step beside what that normal was that I could see people that weren't interested going well for an R rated superior movie. I guess I gotta see what the hell this is about.
[00:19:29] Speaker A: Yeah, and I'd like to clarify that. But there has an R rated superhero movies. But they're not. Or comic book related movies I should say.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: Right?
Yeah, there has been already Marvel Cinematic universe piece.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: No. And they're all soft Rs if you want to say that. Like they said multiple swears or they had a killing. The technically would we classified as an river think man thing when we saw was was like R rated or whatever you like. The.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: The Right.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: So there has been.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: But this was the original Blade movies. Were those R rated? They must have been, right?
[00:19:57] Speaker A: I don't think so.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: I don't know. Some of the. So I feel like some of the violence and stuff was a little.
Little on the outside and a little hokey and a lot of him slashing through stuff like because he was a vampire, he turned to ash. Was that our.
[00:20:12] Speaker A: The first. First Blade was R. I don't know if the other ones were, but the Blade one was R and that was.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: That's really your. Your.
Well, I guess Howard the Duck is your kickoff. But I also started getting this push for all this stuff.
[00:20:24] Speaker A: There isn't an actual definition for soft R versus hard R. But this is
[00:20:27] Speaker B: a hard R. Oh God. Yeah. The swearing, the violence is super graphic.
[00:20:33] Speaker A: The only reason I mean to get over to the NC17 or X, there has to be like, it has to be drastically worse than this.
Like drastically. A lot of nudity, a lot of sex, a lot of like violent. Violent like rape and things like that has to be. There's not that in this.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: So that's why there's topics and things.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: I would think that it's like I said, you put it as a hard R, which was like, basically like, there's no question this movie's an R. Like, we just had to go, oh, wasn't it an R?
[00:20:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
There's no questioning this.
You know what I remember? I remember going and seeing this in theaters and the amount of kids that were there.
[00:21:06] Speaker A: Well, parents got mad at people and I was like, I don't.
[00:21:10] Speaker B: You know, maybe I was. I was kind of a more mature kid that like watched like R rated stuff and things like that.
Like, how many people did question this being like, oh, it's a superhero movie or it won't be that bad. And they're in there like. And how many of them are like, oh God, what did I do?
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Well, I think it's also like just like parent your own. Like, be a parent. Like, you have kids. People walking into your store and being like, they pick up a Deadpool comic, think it's a kid. You're gonna be like, that's not for you. Because Deadpool has never really been for kids. It's not a kid's. Thing.
[00:21:42] Speaker B: No, I mean, it starts. Even his origin, it starts off a little on the hokey side with the X4 stuff and everything. But his first standalone is still him, like, killing guys left and right. They're all these, like, sort of cheesy, armored, like, guys. You can see they're humans. And he's blowing through them one after another. He's shooting them, stabbing them, doing everything, and running his mouth the whole time.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: Well, that's why this movie, as well
[00:22:06] Speaker B: as Ryan Reynolds does.
[00:22:07] Speaker A: But still, that's why this movie made such an amazing adaptation. What's cool also is that when you saw, like, Tony Stark or, sorry, Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. Play Tony Stark in Iron man.
He started seeing in 2008, 2009, 2010, the morphing of the character in the comics to look like Robert Downey Jr. Even though Robert Downey Jr.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Character on screen look like Robert Downey Jr.
[00:22:30] Speaker A: He looked. He looked like Iron Man. Like Iron man and Tony Stark looked like it was. They did a good job picking and casting a character that has that resemblance to it, but they started morphing a little bit more into it. And you see that nowadays, I mean, we just read Peacemaker. Trisard by Kyle Starks is Peacemaker in that comic book looks like John CENA.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: Like, it's 100%.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: And so with the best benefits of Ryan Reynolds is you don't have to make him look like anything because Ryan Reynolds doesn't look like Deadpool except for the first, like, what, 20 minutes of the movie, Half an hour of the movie. And then, absolutely
[00:23:01] Speaker B: stuff. And then, yeah, you don't need to worry about it.
Having sex with another overripe avocado.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: It's so true. And, like, to me, I'm like, how much hope. I would have been in the writer's room of this movie, dude. To sit there. Like, what jokes are we gonna say? Like. Like telling a blind Al, you need to leave the room because he's gonna play with himself. Because he's like, can you imagine what it looks like at the size of this tiny hand? Like, how big it looks? Those are the kind of, like, lines. You're like, dad, this is definitely not a kid's movie. But. But we mentioned the beginning. You mentioned Happy Valentine's Day. It's like. It's true. It's a love story. He was doing it because of his love. He never really wanted. If he met this stripper who he wanted to like the part. When you look at it, you're like, that's the way you find, like, if I wasn't in love and having a wife, that's how I would want to find love. Like, that's like, you know, I mean, like, it's just. If you look at it, it's just. They were just so happy to be together. They were trying new things. They were.
[00:23:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: In multiple ways. They were trying new things.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: That setup, that whole sequence, that whole montage of them setting up the holidays was also hilarious. It was like.
It was just. It's a.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: It's.
[00:24:05] Speaker A: It is a love story. He was doing it for. And he wouldn't have potentially done this for himself, but because he was such in love, he left and said, I need.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: You know, if the previous version of him, if he'd found out he was dying from cancer, probably would have just been like, well, it's been a good
[00:24:20] Speaker A: run with a bang. I'll. I'll do whatever I need to do
[00:24:23] Speaker B: and, you know, probably go off and take more and more dangerous assignments until the other died of cancer or died in, like, one of the kids.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: But, like, love. Yeah.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: But instead. Yeah, he. He had to, like, find a way to carry on because he couldn't leave her and he couldn't have her. He didn't want the pain that she was going to have without him.
[00:24:42] Speaker A: Like, and then they. I won't spoil anything, everybody else, because we're talking Deadpool 1, but then they completely crazily changed it in movie to not change it, but like, reverse the roles basically, in Movie two, which is crazy.
But the. The love story is here. And it's. It is a. It is a Valentine's Day movie in that sense. Because it's. It's. It's a men's Valentine's Day movie. That makes any sense. Like, with the women's. Like, let's watch.
I don't know.
What's that? What's one. My wife likes Hurting Game or the Hurting game. Hunting game. I don't know what it is.
And she. They both work together in an office at a publisher and they hate each other. Then they end up falling in love. It's thing. But like the Hating Game. It's called the Hating Game. That makes sense now. Called Hating each Other. The Hating Game. It's based on a book, but they. But this is like arbor. We'll watch the Hating Game, but later on. We're gonna watch. Tonight. We're gonna watch Deadpool. Deadpool.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: Because I remember we got done with this in the theater and I was like, pulling. I was like, I Could have sat there and started the next screening and all over again. And I looked at Liz, I'm like, what do you think? She's like, I don't think I'll ever be right again.
She's like, I.
I feel violated by this movie.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: Yes, the movie does violate, like. Like, Happy International Women's Day. It violates you.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: Greatest thing I've ever seen.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: Maybe that's what it is. This is not a Valentine's Day movie. This is March. We're in International Women's Day. It's an International Women's Day movie because of the whole, like, International Women's Day. Happy International Women's Day.
It's. Yeah, I'm done. I can't do this.
He makes the jokes about the Deadpool, which is hilarious in that thing. Like, this is my favorite ever. And he's like, you're.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: You're.
[00:26:17] Speaker A: And it shows the character.
[00:26:18] Speaker B: Yeah. The stupid figure. Yeah. My prized possession. He picks that up and he throws it out of the way and puts
[00:26:24] Speaker A: the record in, which is. It's amazing in that sense. Like, yeah, you're funny. And then at the end, he. He kind of tries to correct some things and. And so on and so forth. It's pretty funny, those things.
Yes. When he goes through and kills.
[00:26:40] Speaker B: Don't. What was it? Make sure that Superior costumes. Not green. Yeah. Not animated. Like, the. The amount of times he, like, rips on himself for the previous.
[00:26:51] Speaker A: And I put a note down, Paul, it's like this movie, it had a bit of hard R superhero movie since.
Until Deadpool also. Not one that didn't take itself so seriously. It had been this funny up to this point.
[00:27:02] Speaker B: Like, there's. There's no. I don't know if there's any comedy in Blade anything. No, it was all very serious vampire fighting, trying to avenge what happened to his mother and, like, all this stuff. And then this is just like. You're just laughing through all of it. And then there's the gratuitous violence of it that you get to enjoy, too. But even in that, like, I love when he. The. The opening sequence of this movie is one of my favorites, where he's sitting up there, you know, listening to salt and pepper and drawing like a crayon.
And he's like, have you seen this man? He holds up his idiot drawing.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: He drew and, like, the bullets he has and the sequences there. And it's like there's special effects in there, but they don't care that special effects. And using the X Men characters that are not well known. Or, I mean, you know, one of
[00:27:52] Speaker B: them was practically invented for the movie Megazordic. Teenage Warhead was in, I think, one and or two comics. Her powers are not the same.
I read that it's Cannon. Like, I was like, well, that's Cannonball. And then, yes, it was Cannonball. But they didn't want to have two, like, three lead sort of male characters. They wanted to find, like, have a female one. So they looked up cool X Men names, came across this, and then got the rights from Marvel to change her superpower set and everything. And then basically made her cannon.
[00:28:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Because nega 17, warhead, was actually first appeared in new X Men 115 in August of 2001. So you're talking 15 years ago, but, like, still wasn't in a lot of stuff since that point.
[00:28:35] Speaker B: She was just another telepath, which is just another character.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: Like, like, obviously, you know, you have a more recognizable character of the X Men for most people in Colossus, but,
[00:28:46] Speaker B: like, Colossus, who's definitely a mainstream X Men.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: But. But I thought it was also funny. It was like, you got the B characters, and he even says that it's like, oh, the full X Men can't actually be here to recruit me.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: Yeah. And, yeah, he knocks on the door. Oh, wow.
It looks like you could only afford one X Men. Where's the rest of them?
[00:29:02] Speaker A: They're always just one of you here in this massive mansion.
[00:29:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:05] Speaker A: And so on and so forth. Like that. That, to me is. Was funny. And they always trying to recruit him to come to the X Men and so on and so forth.
[00:29:13] Speaker B: When are you gonna stop acting like a child as he's throwing him through cars left and right in the.
[00:29:19] Speaker A: In the inclusion of Mopender. Mopender. Mopender.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Dope Ender.
[00:29:23] Speaker A: Dope Ender.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: The.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: The taxi driver who you think is just a taxi driver. Like, you don't. Like, just a throwaway character, might say a couple lines, you'll never see him again, and he becomes this, like, thing. And then, like, he's, like, telling him what he should do, but is the girl he loves his boyfriend or whatever? He's, like, in the trunk and like. Like that.
[00:29:41] Speaker B: Like, his cousin's locked up.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: It's just like. It's kind of funny. Like those characters you thought wouldn't be something. Or even with the X Men showing up, they might see the X Men showing up and being like.
And then they're just gone. But, like, there's this, like, thread that goes towards the Whole thing that was really cool and seeing that, like making it okay, this is the next Men movie, guys. We're obvious. Next movie. However, just like, I mean, I just read Tony and Fleece is the Thing from. From last year. And it's. It's a thing comic book. But they toss in some villains here and there that you would know and so on and so forth. But if you take people that are more famous than the Thing and put them in this comic book, it becomes a.
The famous or people's comic book. And so like, if you take this X Men movie and put Professor X in it and Wolverine, all that stuff, it becomes a X Men movie that features Deadpool. And so it was smart for them as well as comedic. You know, a comedic relief to have the B characters of the X Men be the people that you see. Because if not, it would have been
[00:30:39] Speaker B: an X Men movie featuring a good fit for being this like sort of goody two shoe, you know, the off, complete opposite of Deadpool.
Like, so I thought that was a good. If you were gonna pick somebody to put in it. Colossus is a good one.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: Is the one that like plays the straight line and does the right things and so on and so forth. And yeah, yeah, I could understand that. But like, I mean, we. They talked about Thor Ragnarok. It's a Hulk movie that features, you know, but it's called Thor because they had to call, you know, like that, like Thor. Hulk is more popular, I think in the mainstream than Thor is. And you have Hulk in a movie. It's like we can't. Because the rights wise, we can't do a movie featuring or called Hulk. But we'll do it this way. We'll go around about way and so this kind of way. Like we could throw this X Men in here. Plus it was the first time the X Men have featured in an MCU movie, whereas Deadpool is part of the X universe in the sense of X Force and stuff like that. But this was the first time we actually saw the X Men in a Marvel movie, MCU movie. Once the merger happened between Fox and Marvel and Disney, I should say. And so that was pretty cool to see that too. But yeah, it was like the comedic relief was there. And having this like really depressed or like emo teenage warhead who just like, didn't care. What's going on?
[00:31:53] Speaker B: Nope, she could care less. Was amazing to have an awkward silence followed up by a rude comment, followed up by another awkward silence and she just stares at him. What will it be she's like, you got me in a box here.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: And then Blind Out.
Blind Out, Fly down is the. Like, I would say Blind out is one of the stars of this. This, this. This movie for. For me.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh, she's hilarious in it.
[00:32:17] Speaker A: And the comedic. Really back and forth between the two of them.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: Like, I would love the fact he lives with her. Of all.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: Would you not watch a sitcom? It was just them in their apartment together.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I would watch it every week. Absolutely.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: That would be incredible. That'd be like, Must See tv.
[00:32:33] Speaker B: So I know Ryan Reynolds, like, left the set with the costume, and they're like, oh, Mr. Reynolds in that back. And he's like, no, this is mine now. And I've seen stuff where he'll go and do, like, show up at children's hospitals and they don't know it's. Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool. He's just visiting kids. And then at the end, he, like, takes the mask off and, oh, my God, it's Ryan Reynolds.
But if he. I would watch him wear that and do anything. If he's, like, puts on the Deadpool Personas, like, going to the grocery store. I'd watch it for hours. Deadpool at Walmart. Like, oh, my God. Like. And it's funny because him riding the taxi cab. So Deadpool right there in the beginning where he's like. He's fidgeting with this. He's playing with gummy found. He's got his hand out the window. It's just. It's just stupid. But I just watch him, and it's the same thing, him and Al's relationship there. I would just watch them. She's like this.
She's so dry, and she's so, like, constantly sick of his crap, which. Who would want to live with this idiot?
[00:33:28] Speaker A: You could add into the whole factor, like, you know, like the talking heads they do on, like, reality TV shows. You can almost add that into it, but there's really not a reality TV show. It's just. They're breaking the fourth wall the whole time. And they're talking directly at us as the fan, as the. As a watch viewer and do things where he's talking. They're talking about the other person.
[00:33:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Like flying down at the big. In the toilet again.
[00:33:47] Speaker B: If it was like Big Brother style, the two of them living there together, and you get the private interviews, you know, going off to the side, I
[00:33:54] Speaker A: would watch that in a heartbeat.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: Because it's just so funny. And I think it's and it's the. Adding that. The idea that she is blind and so that she can't see what Deadpool looks like or he's missing an arm or doing all that stuff. It's like. It's kind of funny them building a. How about just a YouTube series of them building IKEA furniture?
[00:34:11] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: If that wasn't an IKEA advertising, I don't know what the hell was. Because it was like, they're talking about the different types and the names and all that stuff. It was just. It was so hilarious in that set. And again, to me, it was like, okay, we're going to see a Marvel movie, but it wasn't your traditional Marvel movie. And I think that broke the mold and let them have some fun. It was just kind of funny because after that, things started to get a little rocky over the past 10 years.
Movies is kind of funny, but, like, I think that they took a chance. They took a chance with Iron Man. Let's be honest. I had this conversation with my brother when I was in Florida. Iron man was not the character that you thought that you want. People wanted. People now, looking hindsight, looking back, going, oh, yeah, Iron man makes sense. But Iron man was like the fifth most popular character. Six most popular character.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
When you go through and look, I mean, Sony had the chance to own Iron Man.
[00:35:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:35:02] Speaker B: Sony could have bought it all. And they were like, we don't want.
We want Spider Man.
[00:35:07] Speaker A: You want this billionaire. Like, screw that man.
[00:35:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: Drunk version of Batman. Like Bruce Wayne.
[00:35:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, we don't Batman, who's not that good of a fighter, but is a genius and a total a hole.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: So they took the risk on that, and it paid off tenfold. Over tenfold now, 100 fold. And then they took a risk in saying, let's take Deadpool, which was a character that people kind of like, got pissed off about in the. In the X Men franchise, and put him on screen and do the Deadpool we were all hoping for.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Right.
[00:35:36] Speaker A: Saw that movie and Tim Miller, the director, to just do it and do what they want to do with it.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: And.
[00:35:42] Speaker A: And it plays. It paid off for three different movies. And think about it. It made $2.7 billion off of these three movies. Almost $3 billion off of Deadpool. Deadpool.
[00:35:53] Speaker B: Well, imagine like the residual other, like, Deadpool merch. That is. So I got my Deadpool, like, buddy behind me here. Comics, Continued comics, Deadpool, like, shirts. I mean, everything Deadpool, like, if they
[00:36:09] Speaker A: had Deadpool vinyls, things that, again, I don't Think that would have hit Deadpool video game?
[00:36:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, it's just. It put Deadpool into a huge mainstream where like, I feel like he was a popular character. But if you said to somebody like that wasn't into comic stuff that your favorite character was deadpool.
[00:36:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: Probably 70 of them wouldn't had a clue who the hell you're talking.
[00:36:34] Speaker A: Who devil was. I mean, Tom Todd. Sorry. Liefeld will tell you that, that, you know, he created him and the reason why the Deadpool exists today is because of him and all that stuff.
[00:36:45] Speaker B: So the ultimate will tell you that comic creator.
[00:36:49] Speaker A: I didn't know. It's just kind of funny. This is a Deadpool 3 reference with Deadpool and Wolverine is that he actually had to give the approval to do the Dead the light on feet store.
They didn't just put that in there. He had to actually approve it and he said it was fine, but they had to actually ask him if it was okay if they did that. And he said okay. Which is kind of funny because he must know that he can't draw a feet. And that's why he.
Yeah, but, you know, so it set up obviously two future movies which were fantastic. As Deadpool 2 introduces X Factor just to get rid of X Factor, which
[00:37:23] Speaker B: is again, hilarious factors for what, like 10 seconds, five minutes? Like 10 minutes. Yeah.
[00:37:29] Speaker A: He had the ability to add all these characters to the movie to then still be a Deadpool movie. That's basically Deadpool and one or two other characters.
And then you have Deadpool 3, which obviously introduces Wolverine and Deadpool, which is a great storyline to have. I think the two of them work so much so well together as well, and brings in the accident to this whole thing. So it's. It's amazing. Then we have Lady Deadpool, we have, you know, all the other Deadpools that we see and stuff like that. So like it did spark like a huge thing for Marvel in the future. And it kind of changed the face of like and tell people dc up until recently, up until like the James Gunn Peacemaker, D.C. was like dark, brooding superhero movies. Like, they were just action packed. It was all serious, it was all nothing. You know, Peacemaker kind of broke the mold for them in that sense too. It was the. The idea of we can make fun and have jokes. And then, you know, I guess it was Suicide Squad a little bit too on that side.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: And they tried it with the Justice League movie. And to me it felt like it did not belong. Yeah, like the.
[00:38:28] Speaker A: I would.
[00:38:29] Speaker B: Apparently it was like, it wasn't placed properly. It didn't fit.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: But still was dark. It was still dark though. Like that's the point.
[00:38:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:36] Speaker A: And so not that Marvel's not dark. I'm just saying they actually made a joke in the future of Deadpool movies about how, oh my God, this is dark. It must be like a Batman DC universe.
But they have, but they had Peacemaker and then you have the creatures command creature commandos and also like. So now James Gunn has had to influx and influence. Influence. Like the, the, the roundedness of what MCU was for a while there. Like MCU has your straight ahead superhero movies. You have your mythology movies with like Thor, you have heist movies with Ant man and you have comedies and you have this romance, all that stuff. Like so basically Marvel has made like the superhero genre, the secondary thing that each one of these movies is a different genre which happens to be within the superhero realm, which is really cool to see. And I think Deadpool helped solidify the comedy, like the extreme comedy side of things.
Marvel's always had this like thread of comedy in their movies, as in we should because they're comic books, Paul. Like they're not like.
[00:39:33] Speaker B: And so all based on them funny books we read.
[00:39:36] Speaker A: And so that's cool. And seeing that and seeing the success and seeing a 58 million dollar budget makes 700 million dollars more than that. To see Ryan Reynolds take this character and put him into fame, honestly, even more than Rob Liefeld did as the creator of the co creator of this, you know, and I will say it's Fabian is the co creator, I will tell you that much. Rob Liefeld isn't the single creator of this comic book character. And it was a different character. It evolved into what it is nowadays. But like Peacemaker tries hard.
This movie made it so that you have to make every Deadpool character, comic book ever again similar to this movie in the vein of comedy and blood, gore, all that stuff. You can't make a movie. You can't make old school, original X factor, you know, new mutants, Deadpool, this, that way. You have to make it this way because this is what people expect. The same thing with Peacemakers.
You have to make Peacemaker the way that Peacemaker, John Cena's Peacemaker is because that's what people expected. It kind of sucks as a fan of comic books because comic books is the source material. But in the same sense I understand completely because you know, when someone does it right, they do it right. And Ryan Reynolds and team did it right over at Marvel for this. And so I will say that the fans on IMDb said 8, 8 out of 10.
It's like an 80 or 90. 85 critic, 90 fans on Rotten Tomatoes. And so it's a, it's a fantastic, fantastic movie. I, you know, it's hard to say that a five star movie because I, I don't know why, but I guess it could be. I'd say four and a half star. It's hot. It's up there, Paul. I mean, four and how you get five star.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: I go five stars. I, I love this movie. It's fun. I mean, is the villain the greatest villain ever? No, he's definitely just there.
[00:41:22] Speaker A: It's a serviceable character to make it so that Deadpool gets to be who Deadpool is.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: It's not like, yeah, and he's dry and whatever. But you know what, it's perfect. There are still like the origin side is still fun with him. He's going on, trying to be tough and, and you know, at that point, Wade Wilson's just making fun of him still, like not. He's not letting him be this intimidating guy that's got you strapped down where they're trying to get your mutant virus. He's just constantly making fun of him. The fact that he finds his name out, you know, because he's gonna be Ajax and.
[00:41:52] Speaker A: Yeah, like the cleaner Ajax.
[00:41:57] Speaker B: Yeah, he got it off a.
[00:42:01] Speaker A: But.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: It's hard to find fault. It really is.
[00:42:04] Speaker B: You know, it's not the greatest villains of all time, but the villain in this movie, really, this is a five star movie. And I think this might be the best movie we've ever watched on my side.
[00:42:12] Speaker A: I mean it's. Yeah, I'll say five stars. It's.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: It.
[00:42:16] Speaker A: The villain really is Cancer. If you think about it like the guy is there, but like Cancer itself is the villain because he's fighting against that. And this is just a serviceable way to make it so that he. And that's what turns him into a superhero of sensor, a mutant of sorts or a powered person at that point. But yeah, it's the cancer to me was the villain. And what's worse villain than cancer? Paul, I'd rather have Thanos snap me out of existence than have cancer, I'll tell you that much right now. And so it's, it's that. And so you had that and you brought a serious subject into a comedy movie, which is also crazy to do, but I think it's fantastic. And you're right, five, I would say five stars there is hard to Find an actual problem with the movies and even connecting it to the comic books source material. Like you have to say that like they did the serviceable way of doing this. It's not like they took a character and like what's changing completely. Like they, they built upon the foundation of what the character was in the comic book.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: I think the whole movie is. It's super fun.
You get all the comedy, you get the action, you get some Marvel tie ins. Like the final fight scene all being on a helicarrier that's like been down. So you got to assume that that ties in somewhere at that point to like the second Captain America movie. Excuse me. Where they were trying to like the.
Oh my God, who's the enemy in the second Captain America movie.
Thank you. HYDRA was, you know, trying to unleash all of these so they could control the world. And then Cap had to stop them all. So you got to figure that's like one of those. One that had been like pulled back out of the sky and the. And it's. Who knows what they're doing with it. They're tearing it down or they're rebuilding or whatever. And you end up with this whole battle scene on it. Like it had the great tie into the full big picture of what was going on in the MCU without having
[00:43:59] Speaker A: to like dive into the full thing, which is great. Like you have that background in your mind.
[00:44:03] Speaker B: You didn't have to have all this explanation for it and all of this. It was just, here's your fight scene. And then you're like, wait, that's a helicarrier that they're all on.
[00:44:10] Speaker A: And to be honest, we didn't need another origin story, but we did with this. And I feel like that's what. You couldn't have told this story without an origin story, flashbacks and this kind of thing like this.
It would have been weird. So. Yeah.
[00:44:21] Speaker B: Yeah. So why is this guy the way he is and why is he doing what he's doing?
[00:44:25] Speaker A: Because he's riding, trying to sell you a mobile phone. He's trying to sell you soccer tickets to his football club. He's trying. He's trying to sell you what, Gin. His aviation.
[00:44:35] Speaker B: Right? I think he's the new one.
[00:44:36] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So I think he has all kinds of. He's multifaceted there. Ryan Reynolds. He's also got a beautiful wife who's also super talented in. In their own right as well. So.
But yeah, I think five stars is right there. It was much better than Green Lantern, however, I tell you, right? Now he's been in other stuff. I'm gonna finish up here because you're about to open.
He's been in other stuff. This is what he's gonna be known for for the rest of his life.
[00:45:02] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yeah.
[00:45:03] Speaker A: Like, he's been Green Lantern.
[00:45:04] Speaker B: He's been watching Two Guys Are Growing Pizza Place and thinking that guy should play Deadpool. Like, I just. I've always thought, like. Because I grew up reading Deadpool and doing all the Deadpool stuff, and I just thought, man, Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool. And then he finally got to be Deadpool, truly be Deadpool. Because I was like, yes, yes, I finally get him. And then that, that Wolverine movie was just God awful.
And then we finally get him as that really Deadpool. What we're supposed to see alternate universe.
[00:45:36] Speaker A: Paul, he's in an alternate. In that, that X Men movie. He's in a universe.
[00:45:40] Speaker B: If they're gonna, like, go through and destroy universes, kill that one, please.
[00:45:44] Speaker A: No, they should. They definitely should. But maybe that's a future Deadpool movie. We'll see. But yeah, five stars. Deadpool. Happy 10th anniversary to Deadpool in Ryan Reynolds and all the cast of that movie and so on and so forth.
Can't believe it's been 10 years, but it's amazing. That's been 10 years.
And we have a couple more anniversary movies to do this year, too, which is kind of fun. We're going to do Twister in May because it's the 10th or 30th anniversary of Twister.
And I think we're also going to tackle Independence Day around 4th of July because it's also an anniversary. I believe it's 30 years for that as well.
So exciting. But, Paul, congratulations on the new shop at what address?
[00:46:25] Speaker B: Now? Find us at 499 Hammond Street. We moved one entire block, folks. For anybody that's away and doesn't know we're one block from the previous store.
[00:46:34] Speaker A: Just far enough away, but just close enough that I will say anybody who has to go to the shop and then the Bangor area, you can also grab lunch because. Right. They're literally in the building next to you.
[00:46:43] Speaker B: Angela's Pizza. We got a pizza place right beside us.
Yeah. We're now in 1500 square feet of galactic comic goodness that I am sure I will pack full of comic books and toys and stuff within. What do you guys think, a year? Two years? How long before this place?
[00:46:59] Speaker A: A couple of months.
I know you fall. I know you fall, but yeah,
[00:47:07] Speaker B: everything's laid out. There's there's space. It's comfortable right now, and I plan on keeping it that way. I don't know how, but, you know, we'll. We'll find room.
[00:47:14] Speaker A: Well, I think you have a. Because if you just had tables to sit at and read comics and hang out and whatever, but because you have gaming at those tables, you can't take that space away because you piss off the gaming people. And so, like, you will not be able to just throw stuff on those tables. You will have to have that gaming area.
I have faith in that. And there is space in the big front room, but, like, it's walking space. You can't. There's no, like, wall space. You need to, like, you have space. But.
But yeah, go ahead and open there and we'll see you soon. Thank you for celebrating 10 years of Deadpool here on the caps.
It's amazing. Well, what, 10 years of the movie Deadpool? Because obviously it's been longer than that. Yeah, I think you know what I'm talking about. We'll talk soon, Paul.
[00:47:49] Speaker B: I was reading it as a kid, so. Yeah.
[00:47:51] Speaker A: Yeah, there you go. This is your. How old now? 57.
[00:47:54] Speaker B: I feel like it this morning.
[00:47:56] Speaker A: You look great for 57, Paul.
But we'll chat soon, man. See ya.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
Wait.
