Hal has kept the cab in his garage while Doybey has been off world. However, when Hal goes to retrieve the cab, it's missing. Confused? Don't worry. I'll be right back with doctor Husband to explain everything.

12
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker B>Everybody knows in a second life, we all come back sooner or later. As anything from a pussycat to a man eating alligator. Well, you all may think my story is more fiction than it's fact. But believe it or not, my mother dear decided she'd come back as a car. She's my very own guiding star. A 1928 Porter. That's my mother dear. She helps me through everything I do. And I'm so glad she's here. My mother car. My mother the car.

13
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker A>Well, as my mother used to say, is big storm coming this country. I learned all of my accents from her.

14
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker B>From your mother?

15
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

16
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker B>No wonder they're so bad.

17
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker A>No, but seriously, there is a giant storm happening right now. So we have all the animals in the room with us. You'll probably hear thunder and lightning. We don't have a basement. So we've taken shelter in the highest room in our house with the biggest window. We'll be fine.

18
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker B>The pets are with us.

19
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker A>So what a show that would be, wouldn't it? What if actually a tornado came through right as we're recording? Well, you have to. I'm the producer I have to think about these sorts of things.

20
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I went outside to watch it come in, didn't I? Yeah, because the trees were just waving back like crazy. But I thought, now, I have been through a tornado before inside a building.

21
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, right.

22
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker B>Remember?

23
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker A>I do remember. I was on the road when that was happening.

24
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker B>Two people died outside the building in that tornado.

25
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker A>I know,

26
00:03:44.000 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker B>it was awful. But anyway, I saw the trees whipping around, and I thought, oh, my gosh. I mean, it wasn't that bad, but I thought it was a tornado coming. So I went outside to look and, you know, see, there's something really beautiful about a storm that's coming in when you can smell the air, the change in the air, and you can just feel that kind of the wind blowing around, and you can feel the shift and the pressure. It's really quite beautiful. I mean, I obviously don't want to be in it right now because it's pouring down rain.

27
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker A>I'm hoping it'll relieve my Shazam Bago.

28
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker B>What's that?

29
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker A>Well, it's an ailment that Uncle Marvel had.

30
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker B>Oh.

31
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker A>It's why he couldn't fly like the other Marvels.

32
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay. You're not making that up?

33
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker A>No.

34
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay.

35
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker A>I'm not. It's in print.

36
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

37
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker A>It was true.

38
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker B>Well, how's your week been?

39
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, it's been all right. Yeah. Hey, remember when that tree fell in our yard and it was a windless day?

40
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

41
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker A>Not a cloud in the sky. Is that hail?

42
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker B>No. No, it's not. I'm looking at the pavement right now. No.

43
00:04:50.000 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. I was just sitting. It was during COVID and I was working, and I was just sitting peacefully at my computer, and all of a sudden, tree just fell right down. No wind or anything.

44
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker B>I remember that now. I think that it had been raining a lot, and the ground was soaked, and the tree just gave up.

45
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker A>I prefer to think that it was an evil spell.

46
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

47
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker A>Witch or genie?

48
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, I like your explanation better.

49
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker A>It was probably that neighbor. I think she was a witch. The old neighbor.

50
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

51
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker A>She probably hexed it.

52
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker B>Hex.

53
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker A>Hex.

54
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker B>Heck, it's Fool. I had a nap today, didn't I, Lucky? I needed. Well, I've been studying and studying and studying, and it's a hard chapter, and I won't go into any more than that, except to say that, like, my brain has sort of gotten to the point where it just can't kind of process anything else.

55
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

56
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker B>And I took a nap, and I was. I know. I slept because my apple watch says that I Did, but in my brain. I mean, I was kind of aware. I know I slept, but I was literally working through all the things and the problems and the definitions and stuff throughout my entire dream.

57
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker A>Sure.

58
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah. So, anyway.

59
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker A>Well, that's what dreams are for. Working out problems.

60
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker B>Yes. And I'm very glad because I'm so close to the end of the first class and I am doing really well, so.

61
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. You've had steadily increasing grades.

62
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker B>Yes. Yeah.

63
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker A>You'll get a gold star at the end of the week.

64
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker B>I am hoping I will. Well, it's not in two more weeks, but, yeah, I'll be finished. Yes. And yes. And I have planned a little fun day for myself with a dear friend.

65
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. And.

66
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker B>What?

67
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker A>I'm not going.

68
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker B>You aren't going? I was so, like, couldn't believe you don't want to go.

69
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker A>Well, listen, I know, I know if it were King's Dominion, I would say yes, but hersheypark does not have rides that I fit in. You would now? No. Well, they're not fun rides. They're all those metal, twisted eternity things. At least King's Dominion has the Beast and the Log flume.

70
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker B>There are some intense roller coasters there.

71
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, I'm fine. I'm going to sit silently and read comics.

72
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker B>Okay. Okay.

73
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker A>Maybe I'll invite Chuck over to sit in silence.

74
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker B>So I'm off from my classes for a week, and I am planning to just, like, live it up. Live it up for a week. No responsibility except to practice and, you know, play, so.

75
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

76
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I mean, you know, that's what I like to do anyway.

77
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker A>Sure.

78
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker B>I'm kind of a boring person, but, you know.

79
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker A>Right.

80
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker B>I like just what I do pretty much every night that I can practice. Practice. Yeah, play.

81
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker A>And we're going to a wedding this weekend. Family wedding.

82
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker B>I'm so excited. I love weddings. I love seeing your family. Our family.

83
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker A>Your. It's all of our family.

84
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker B>We've been together for over 33 years.

85
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker A>I just remembered that, Well, I don't know how long ago we actually got married, but.

86
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, my God. No.

87
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker A>I bought this shirt for that occasion, and I got a compliment on it in the liquor store today. Yes. Yes.

88
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker B>Because I have a matching shirt. We got matching shirts for. It was into D.C. city Hall. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

89
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker A>So I got a compliment from the young man at the liquor store, and I said, thank you. It's probably older than you are.

90
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker B>Mm.

91
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker A>Mm. Anything else exciting coming up? Um, gosh, Disclosure day is coming out. We can't see it. Cause we have to go to this wedding.

92
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker B>What's disclosure day? I'm sorry?

93
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker A>It's the new Spielberg movie.

94
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay.

95
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker A>And then Supergirl comes out at the end of the month. Well, that's the week you'll be off class, so we'll have to.

96
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker B>What's the buzz?

97
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker A>Well, it depends where you listen.

98
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

99
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker A>It's all the people that want to return the Snyderverse are already hating Supergirl, but Krypto's in it, so I'm on board.

100
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker B>Right. Okay. Okay.

101
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker A>I don't like the comic story that the movie is based on. Oh.

102
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

103
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker A>But I'm going to give it a chance.

104
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

105
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker A>Solely for Krypto. And of course, Jason Momoa's in it, so gals will be. Well, he's playing. It's actually better casting than Aquaman ever was.

106
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker B>Who's he playing? Lobo. Oh, okay, cool. That's better.

107
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. Do you even know who Lobo is?

108
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, Lobo is a filthy war creature. Right?

109
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

110
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker B>That's great for Jason Momoa. Right? Yeah. Who, no matter how wet he looks, doesn't look like he has been cleaned.

111
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker A>Correct. And we could have had Alan Ritchson as Aquaman.

112
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker B>Ah, Alan Richardson.

113
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker A>You know, what's that show we watch? The big muscly guy? That. Is that his last name? Reacher?

114
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, that's his last name. Richardson.

115
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker A>Reacher Richardson. Yes. Oh, but he was on Smallville. He played Aquaman on Smallville. Aqua Boy.

116
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker B>Aqua Boy.

117
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker A>He could have been perfect Aquaman now that he beefed up.

118
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker B>Yep, yep, yep, yep.

119
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker A>But, no, that's all right. Okay, so we are. It's your favorite superhero.

120
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker B>It is.

121
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker A>Green lantern. Yeah. Number 52, April 1967. We have on the COVID He's back again, for better and worse. The sinister Sinestro. Hal Jordan is giving his oath of office.

122
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker B>In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight.

123
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker A>Let those who worship justice's might, Beware my power, Sinestro's light.

124
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker B>Sinestro does talk like this.

125
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker A>As you know, Rob Sinestro has a Yellow Lantern, which he got from the Weaponers of Qward in the Antimatter Universe. What you may not know is that it's later revealed that Sinestro. Well, we do know that Sinestro was a Green Lantern.

126
00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker B>We do know that. Yeah.

127
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker A>But he also trained Hal Jordan. He was a trainer.

128
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, now.

129
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, now they what?

130
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna need some guidance through this. A little bit of guidance.

131
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

132
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker B>Because of the two Green Lanterns. And the Earth One. And the Earth Two.

133
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. Well, that's What I was about to say they buried the lead because right here in the splash page we have Alan Scott, Green lantern of Earth 2. Yes, along with his friend, Doy B. Dickels. They are being attacked by a taxi cab. A living, breathing taxi cab.

134
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker B>My mother the car.

135
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker A>This must 1967. This must be when my mother the car was on.

136
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, it has to be, because they mentioned it in the comic.

137
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker A>What?

138
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

139
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker A>Fantastic secret.

140
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker B>No, I was like, what? Didn't you read it? Yeah, go ahead.

141
00:11:52.000 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker A>What fantastic secret lay behind the mysterious transformation of Goitrude from a peaceable antique taxicab into the directing chieftain on wheels of a ruthless gang of desperados? This was the gnawing problem that absorbed the energies of two Green Lanterns.

142
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker B>Not just one, but two.

143
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker A>The one of yesterday and today's Emerald Gladiator. And embarked them side by side on one of the most astonishing adventures ever recorded. Our mastermind, the Car Rob. What have you heard about our Alan Scott?

144
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker B>He's a gay man.

145
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker A>He's a gay man now?

146
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker B>Yes, he's a gay man now.

147
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker A>Well, of course he wasn't in the 60s. No, he didn't talk about those things then.

148
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker B>No.

149
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker A>All right, are you ready for guidance yet?

150
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker B>Not yet.

151
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker A>Okay. As airplane mechanic Thomas Kalmaku, we are not going to mention his racist nickname.

152
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker B>No.

153
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker A>Relays warm regards to his wife from a letter he has just received.

154
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker B>And tell Terga, I sure miss her home cooked meals.

155
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker A>Hmm, that's sweet. Hal, as you recall, has left Coast

156
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker B>City because he's wandering.

157
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker A>He's trying to find himself wandering, just like Jack Kerouac because Carol Ferris married another. Yes, but he's written a letter to Tom because Tom knows that he is secretly Green Greenland. Trin.

158
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker B>Trin.

159
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker A>Trin. So he can't read all of the letters. So Turga has taken the baby out for a walk. We then learn that Hal has not only sent regards to Turga, but also to Doyby Dickles, old taxi cab deutrum. Is this where you need the guidance?

160
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000
<v Speaker B>So here's my question.

161
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

162
00:13:46.000 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker B>So Doy B. Dickels is the sort of sidekick of Alan Scott. Yes, but Alan Scott and Doybie Dickles reside in. Well, came from the parallel Earth or Earth 2. Yes. Okay, but what is the taxicab Goitrude doing in our Earth Prime? Yes, right. And then of course, I see the Doyvi Dickels has married some sort of intergalactic princess and lives on another planet. But then, is that planet in our dimension or another dimension? Because he has to use A special device. So I'm thinking he's in. In Earth two world.

163
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker A>He is in Dimension two.

164
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker B>Why is the taxicab in here in our dimension?

165
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker A>Because. So we did cover the previous adventure of Doy B. Dickels, in which he met and married Princess Reina in Universe two.

166
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

167
00:14:50.000 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker A>But it also involved Hal Jordan. So part of it happened on Earth 1. And then I guess that's where Goitrude ended up. Because Hal kept Goitrud in his garage.

168
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

169
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker A>Okay, I know you don't remember because it was a long time ago.

170
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know.

171
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker A>Why? Well, because they had to somehow bring Goitrude to Earth one to help Hal with whatever he was doing. And then Doy B just took off to get married.

172
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker B>I guess it would require us to go back. Which we're not doing.

173
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker A>No, we're not. But you know, if you're interested listener, I will find out the episode number and put it in the show notes or something.

174
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker B>Good for you.

175
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker A>I'm just kidding. I don't do show notes. It's episode number 95. May 18, 2020.

176
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, that was during the pandemic in

177
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker A>the midst of COVID Yeah, right after the.

178
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker B>No wonder I don't remember it.

179
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000
<v Speaker A>I know, right?

180
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker B>Probably if I had a bag of Doritos next to me, I could prompt my memory. Do you remember how we marked the passing of days by the number of

181
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker A>family sized bags of Doritos? Yes.

182
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker B>It was like two and a half days for us to eat a bag of family sized bag of Doritos.

183
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker A>That long?

184
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker B>Maybe it was two days, but I know we would just. It was like always going and getting

185
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker A>Doritos in my memory. It was paradise.

186
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker B>It was.

187
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker A>We need another pandemic.

188
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker B>Oh my God. What's wrong with you today?

189
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker A>What do you mean?

190
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker B>Tornadoes, Pandemics. Cut it out.

191
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker A>God. 2026 still has the word 2020 in it. We're not safe until 2033, according to the astrologers. Okay, but then it's a whole new world, so. All right, all right. So this story is going to be a flashback read from Tom's Green Lantern diary. A casebook. Sorry. Which he's going to read aloud to us, which is strange to break the

192
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker B>fourth wall and just talk to us, the readers. Well, I mean, it happens.

193
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, yeah, but I. I mean, I don't know. Metamorpho can do it, why can't Tom?

194
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, I guess you're right.

195
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker A>This is a story, a flashback from before Hal left Coast City. And we find Hal Inside a coffee shop near the apartment. Near his apartment.

196
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker B>Now, these dashed lines around their word balloons. Yeah. Is it. They're whispering.

197
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

198
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, I thought. They can't be talking telekinetically to each other.

199
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:46.000
<v Speaker A>He's joined by Alan Scott, the Green lantern of Earth 2, who's a gay man now. He's come to Earth 1 to visit hall because it's coming up on the first anniversary of Doy B. Dickels marriage.

200
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker B>Right.

201
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.000
<v Speaker A>So Alan thought it.

202
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker B>Girl, I could totally hit some eggs and fried potatoes right now. Let's. Fried potatoes. Oh, does that look good right now?

203
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.000
<v Speaker A>You know what they call that internationally?

204
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker B>Chip and egg.

205
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker A>Chips and egg.

206
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker B>Yep.

207
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker A>I am going to make you an egg for dinner, but it's going to be in Asian noodles.

208
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, I love that. I love when you make that listener.

209
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker A>I've got the easiest, quickest dinner. You take a half a bag of coleslaw mix, you saute it in sesame oil, you dump in a packet of cooked ramen noodles, mix that all up together, then you make a little sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons tamari, and another tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix that up, pour it in, put it in your bowl. You can put some chopped scallions and some sesame seeds on there if you want to. Then you fry an egg, slop that

210
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.000
<v Speaker B>on the top, you're done.

211
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker A>You're done. We usually have an egg roll with it to make a full meal.

212
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker B>It's delicious.

213
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker A>It's delicious. Easy. If you don't want to cook, which I never do.

214
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker B>But you do all the time.

215
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker A>You're so. I do all the time, and I actually. I do enjoy it, but.

216
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

217
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker A>At the end of the work day, you know.

218
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

219
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker A>I'm so tired from my working from home.

220
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker B>I do make dinner once in a while, but when I do, you know what you're gonna get?

221
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker A>Mexican.

222
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah. Or some sort of, like, really easy salad dish. Yeah. Like. Like, what did I make last year?

223
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.000
<v Speaker A>Chicken tender salad.

224
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker B>Chicken tender salad. I mean, I'll make the Test the salad from scratch. I don't do bag salads like you do.

225
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker A>No, I'll do a bag salad.

226
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker B>No, I make mine from scratch. But then why. I also like to make. Oh, what's that? Taco salad. You know, just like, basically make taco meat and do all the vegetables in there and stuff like that on top. So I love that.

227
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker A>Well, that's too much work for me.

228
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker B>So you do a little ring of tortilla chips for Bob's, your Uncle Doritos. Oh, shut up, girl.

229
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker A>All right, so Alan has the idea that they can use their combined power rings to send Goitrude to Doybe.

230
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah. What are they gonna do? Like, wrap it up in a. Like wrap it up in a power beam and just. Cause it's in another dimension?

231
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. They have to take it to Universe two.

232
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker B>He says they're gonna project the car to doibi, Right? Yeah.

233
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker A>I don't know why they can't just take it and surprise him. They are also.

234
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker B>Well, he's not only in another dimension, he's on another planet.

235
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker A>Correct.

236
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

237
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker A>In another dimension.

238
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker B>In another dimension.

239
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker A>So they have.

240
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker B>I have another question.

241
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

242
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000
<v Speaker B>I'm sorry for all these interruptions, but you know, I love Green Lantern.

243
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

244
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker B>Gertrude's yellow.

245
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. Oh, well, Alan's there.

246
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker B>Okay. And Alan isn't powerless to yellow.

247
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker A>No, he is powerless to wood.

248
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

249
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, obviously not counting that he's a gay man.

250
00:20:52.000 --> 00:21:06.000
<v Speaker B>He's a gay, but. So Hal Jordan would have no problem wrapping up Goitrude and transporting her with Alan Scott's help to another dimension, even though she's yellow?

251
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker A>Well, yes. And also Hal says they will, or Alan says they will use their combined power beams to gift wrap it. So I guess if the gift wrap is red or blue or something.

252
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker B>But like, if it's a yellow thing, right? And he's not fighting it, it's, you know, he's gonna be okay, right? Like, it's not like he can't eat bananas or anything stupid like that, right? He can't avoid all things y. Yeah, he can.

253
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker A>Because.

254
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000
<v Speaker B>What?

255
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker A>Like one time in Super Friends, even Aquaman's hair blocked a power beam because it was yellow.

256
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker B>You've got to be kidding me. I'm not kidding you. That is taking things a little bit far.

257
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker A>It is.

258
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker B>Does he not. Is he not able to digest bananas?

259
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.000
<v Speaker A>Well, he can digest bananas. He just can't use his power ring on a banana.

260
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker B>Why would he want to use a power ring on a banana anyway?

261
00:21:53.000 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker A>If someone say there's a supervillain with firing bananas out of a gun, what's the Gorilla Grog? Gorilla Grog?

262
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.000
<v Speaker B>Gorilla Grog is attacking with a. With a giant banana.

263
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker A>Like, throwing bananas at super.

264
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker B>How Jordan would be powerless.

265
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker A>He'd be dead.

266
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker B>I'm surprised you didn't yell at me and say, this is your stupid scenario. Why are you telling me this?

267
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:24.000
<v Speaker A>We learned that Hal has kept Gotrude's battery charged.

268
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker B>By the way, I would take. I was paying attention to this. I have something to Ask about pretty much every freaking game.

269
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker A>Good.

270
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah. Okay.

271
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:35.000
<v Speaker A>I like that. They are committed to spelling out Goitrude in Brooklyn East. Thank you.

272
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.000
<v Speaker B>Now, one thing that I can't go on this page until we talk about this.

273
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

274
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker B>Goitrud, as it was revealed in the end of the story, was invisible.

275
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

276
00:22:46.000 --> 00:23:03.000
<v Speaker B>How did howl open the garage and not know that Goitrude was, I mean, and say, oh my gosh, she's been stolen? Does he reveal her when. When he opens up the garage? I mean, do you know what I'm saying? Like, did you think about that when you read it?

277
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker A>No, I didn't even notice that detail.

278
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker B>It's. It must be the side effect of managerial accounting also that's driving me insane.

279
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker A>I see here that Goitrude is actually orange, so I think Hal's okay.

280
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay. Are you sure?

281
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. Anyway, Goitrude's been stolen and Alan says that's curious that they would steal that old Cab from the 1940s and leave your deluxe sports car lying alongside untouched.

282
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker B>Yellow.

283
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.000
<v Speaker A>Yellow.

284
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker B>Maybe he can't drive it.

285
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker A>Well, remember now when Hal left town, or maybe it was before he left town. He decided he was only going to use his power ring as a last resort. He was gonna use his fists much more.

286
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

287
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:58.000
<v Speaker A>So maybe having a yellow sports car is part of that scheme to place himself in danger at every moment.

288
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker B>I don't. Oh, look at that.

289
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.000
<v Speaker A>Is it a rainbow?

290
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker B>No. Well, no, but the sun's coming through and there's a dark, dark, dark gray sky in the background. So it's.

291
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.000
<v Speaker A>That's my favorite look for the sky.

292
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.000
<v Speaker B>I love this. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah.

293
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker A>So also, I don't know why Alan Scott has to rip his clothes off to reveal his costume candy. He just uses ring to change clothes like Hal does. Did he rip his clothes off? Yes. Look, he's ripping his shirt off.

294
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, I thought that was just a bunch of newspaper from Halloween jetting away.

295
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker A>So Hal collects newspapers in his garage along with his sports car,

296
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker B>and it's a visible taxi cab.

297
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, he's a hoarder. So the boys take off to investigate.

298
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker B>That's an expensive investment. What, just rip your clothes off like that? I mean, look how it looks like he's torn. It looks like. Well, he is a gay man.

299
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker A>He's a gay man now he's torn

300
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.000
<v Speaker B>his clothes off in the presence of Hal Jordan.

301
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker A>I know.

302
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

303
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker A>Meanwhile, in another part of the night enshrouded city, an old fashioned taxi rolls along. But even a casual observer might discern an incredible sight that there is no one at the wheel.

304
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.000
<v Speaker B>What? What?

305
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker A>What? We. It's Goitru. She's got telepathic powers informing her that a crime is going on around the corner.

306
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:19.000
<v Speaker B>My goodness.

307
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker A>She wheels around, she hears gunfire. She comes upon a gang in a gun battle with police emerging from a bank, which they must have robbed. So Goitrude wheels up, tells the gang to get in, and off she goes, evading the police.

308
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker B>She does. And she pulls up to the hideout of the bank robbers.

309
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:46.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

310
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker B>They're like, how do you know we're going to be here? And.

311
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:59.000
<v Speaker A>Because she can read your mind. Yeah. And she starts fish wiping right away. Thank you. This is your hideout. It's a slum. Later on, we'll move to more suitable headquarters.

312
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker B>So the crooks, of course, are trying to look everywhere to see where the voice is coming from.

313
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker A>And their first suspicion is that there must be a midget under the hood.

314
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker B>They said midget.

315
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker A>I know.

316
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker B>Well, 60s.

317
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:28.000
<v Speaker A>Well, it's not. It's just a regular old car. The voice is coming. They don't know where the voice is coming from. G, G, G. This must be like that TV show, Our Mother, the Car. Well, it's My Mother, the Car. You're aware of that show?

318
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

319
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker A>Do you suppose all our listeners are, too?

320
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker B>It was a television show about a woman who dies and becomes a car and inhabits a car, right?

321
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

322
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000
<v Speaker B>How'd she die? In a car wreck.

323
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker A>Hang on, I'm looking it up. It's an American fantasy sitcom that aired for a single season on NBC between September 14, 19 and April 5, 1966. Thirty episodes were produced. The series is about a man whose deceased mother is reincarnated as an antique car who communicates with him through the car radio.

324
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.000
<v Speaker B>Wow.

325
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker A>It was, you know, all the rage

326
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker B>to have talking animals.

327
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker A>Talking animals? Mr. Ed and my Favorite Martian and Bewitched and I Dream of Genie, the Flying Nun.

328
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker B>All sorts of fantasies.

329
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It starred Jerry Van Dyke, which pretty much ruined his early career, I'm sure. And the voice of the car was Golden Age great actress Anne Southern. Oh.

330
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker B>So they should use Hermione Granger as the mother. Hermione Gringold.

331
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker A>Hermione Gingold.

332
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker B>Gingold.

333
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker A>Well, that wouldn't make sense to have Jerry Van Dyke have a cockney mother.

334
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, she's not the person I'm thinking. Yes, she is.

335
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker A>Glynis Johns you're thinking of.

336
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker B>Thank you very much. Glynis Johns. Who's Hermione Gingold?

337
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker A>Hermione Gingold was the maid Ellen in Mary Poppins. And she was the old homeless woman on Little House on the Prairie.

338
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, no. I was thinking of Glynis Jones. Yes, the daughters. Daughters will adore us as we sing in grateful chorus. Well done, sister.

339
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:19.000
<v Speaker A>Suffragettes again. It wouldn't fit with Jerry Van Dyke.

340
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.000
<v Speaker B>But wouldn't her voice sound great coming out of her car radio?

341
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker A>Sure, I'd love to have a car like that.

342
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker B>Wouldn't you love to have a ghost car?

343
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

344
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker B>Hell, yes. Oh, my God.

345
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.000
<v Speaker A>Well, it depends who the ghost is.

346
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay. Like I would. I wouldn't want Whitney Houston as my ghost.

347
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.000
<v Speaker A>No.

348
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.000
<v Speaker B>Or.

349
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker A>Or my father.

350
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker B>Pull over to this neighborhood and get me.

351
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker A>Get me some crack runner. Slow.

352
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker B>Or your mom. Honk, honk. Meet me at church on Sunday.

353
00:28:47.000 --> 00:29:15.000
<v Speaker A>Watch out. There's children 500 yards ahead. You better put the brake on. All right, the car's giving them orders. They have to get back in and go places because Goitrud's gonna show them how to commit a real crime. Meanwhile, the Green Lanterns have met up with the police. They don't believe their story. You mean to say there was no one at the wheel of the old taxi that zoomed in, carried off the thieves? Officer?

354
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker B>Mm.

355
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker A>Well, they figure out that taxi cab, based on the description could have been Goitrude. And Alan says if Joy B. Ever hears about this, he'll absolutely die of shame. Here's Goitrude helping criminals.

356
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.000
<v Speaker B>Why don't they say Gertrude?

357
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker A>Because it's Goitrude.

358
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker B>I know, but that's all.

359
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker A>Did you ever read? As you know, Harvey comics were my gateway drug. Did you ever read Spooky, the tough little ghost?

360
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker B>No.

361
00:29:44.000 --> 00:30:06.000
<v Speaker A>He also spoke with a Brooklyn accent. His girlfriend's name was Pearl, but they always spelled it Poil. My Goyle Poil. All right, so I never knew why Spooky had a dog nose. He wasn't a ghost dog. Not like Nightmare, the ghost horse. He was Casper's cousin. Casper didn't have a dog nose. Casper wasn't a dog.

362
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker B>Casper was a child.

363
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker A>The ghostly trio didn't have dog noses, only Spooky.

364
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker B>How did Casper die?

365
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker A>In the comics, Casper was created ghost from scratch. He was not. He was a supernatural creature that was not a dead child. That's made up for the Christina Ricci movie.

366
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay.

367
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker A>No, he was not the ghost of Richie Rich.

368
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay. All right.

369
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker A>Boy, whatever happened to Richie Rich? That wouldn't go over so good these days, would it?

370
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker B>No. No.

371
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker A>Richest boy in the World.

372
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker B>Poor little rich boy. Trumpy Trump.

373
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker A>But I've got a good idea for a parody comic.

374
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker B>You do?

375
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:53.000
<v Speaker A>And instead of Casper, it could be the ghost of Ivana.

376
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, yes. Rising up out of a golf course.

377
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. All right. Goitrud has ordered the crooks to block. What do they call those cars that carry money? Armored cars.

378
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker B>Armored cars.

379
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker A>The armored car is blocked. The ghosts or the guards? The ghosts. The guards get out and approach Goitude. And they're shocked when they touch. Like literally.

380
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker B>They're literally electrocuted.

381
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker A>Because apparently all cars apparently have the ability to send an electric shock through their battery. Well, ghost cars do well, right? So the guys bust out of the car, they trap the guards, they start loading money into Goitrude. Just then, the Green Lanterns show up.

382
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker B>We haven't had one good shot of Hal Jordan's ass. No, he is famously the best drawn ass in all of comics.

383
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker A>Well, maybe he's just being careful since he's in the presence of a gay man.

384
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker B>Stop. He's not gay in this timeline. Well, in this. In this period.

385
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, that's not a bad. Top of page nine. Alan Scott's kind of.

386
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker B>Wait, let me see.

387
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker A>Giving Luke's.

388
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.000
<v Speaker B>Where? Oh, yeah. Okay.

389
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker A>All right. They arrive, but Goitrud blinds the Green Lanterns with her headlights and then chokes them up with exhaust. And shortly, on the far off world of Mirg in the Galaxy 882, where Doybie Dickles lives with his bride, Princess Ramia.

390
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker B>She's knitting something.

391
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker A>She's knitting. I wonder if she's.

392
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.000
<v Speaker B>She's pregnant.

393
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker A>That's what I first thought. Yes. All right. Doibby has just received a message over super galactic ring receiver from Alan Scott. What?

394
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker B>Look what he calls him. Alan Scott Green Lantern.

395
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, of course that's what his name is.

396
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker B>Lantern.

397
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:08.000
<v Speaker A>He calls him Lantern Lantern because he's from Brooklyn.

398
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker B>I've always called Green Lantern Green Lantern, but not because of doybie Dickles.

399
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker A>Are you from Brooklyn? No.

400
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:20.000
<v Speaker B>Of course, yes, I'm from Brooklyn. Listen to my accent. My very strong Brooklyn accent.

401
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker A>So Alan did not give Doybie any details. Just told him to meet him on Earth one because he needs his help. And Princess Ramia says you'd better leave at once. You can take the royal space scooter. And don't forget your dimension changer. You'll need it to get to Earth One.

402
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker B>Right, so he gets a signal on his ring from another dimension.

403
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:41.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

404
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker B>He needs to leave the planet.

405
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker A>Correct.

406
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker B>And travel to another dimension to help

407
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:50.000
<v Speaker A>Hal Jordan and another Planet? Yes. It turns out Alan gave doibby a ring in case.

408
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, Alan. Scott. He needs to help Alan.

409
00:33:52.000 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker A>Scott. Alan gave him a ring in case he ever needed to contact him. He didn't realize it would be used because he needed my help. And that makes me wonder what could be wrong. How can I help? Green Lantern? How do you like my Brooklyn accent? Sure seems strange for me to be going to his assistant, but I'll find out soon. What's up? This royal scooter really hightails along. Meanwhile, on Earth one, here comes doibi.

410
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker B>What American accent do you think is harder to listen to? The Boston accent or the Brooklyn accent?

411
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, Boston for sure. Right. Me too.

412
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.000
<v Speaker B>I agree. Yeah.

413
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:38.000
<v Speaker A>They greet each other warmly. And they give Doybbie the sad news that Goitrude has taken up a life of crime.

414
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.000
<v Speaker B>My Goitrude.

415
00:34:39.000 --> 00:35:11.000
<v Speaker A>And we can't explain it. All we know is the car is leading a gang of crooks in a spectacular crime wave. And they might have stopped it by now, but they're afraid of damaging Goitrude. Only Doybie can talk her off the ledge. So they fly Doy b out to find Goitrud. And elsewhere they come upon Goitrude. They land on the road in front of her. And she finds those flashlights at them.

416
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, headlights. And there's a strange power coming off of them. And they are paralyzed. All of them. Both the Green Lanterns and Doybi paralyzed.

417
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker A>Motionless.

418
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker B>Motionless.

419
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:34.000
<v Speaker A>Uh, Goitrud explains that she has simply paralyzed them by an intense mental onslaught of their nervous systems. Operating through the super activated photons of the headlights and synchronized with the laser like light beam.

420
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker B>Boy, that's awfully sophisticated. Speak from a car.

421
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:46.000
<v Speaker A>The effects will last at least 24 hours. Long enough for me to carry out my overall plan. But I must start now. Stand back, all of you.

422
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker B>I hope they don't need to have any some important biological elimination functions in the next 24 hours.

423
00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:08.000
<v Speaker A>Further. Get back. I'm about to tap the energy in the power rings of the two paralyzed Green Lanterns with this noise. Bo Groub. What kind of a noise is that?

424
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker B>I was wondering about that. Bo Graub. Well.

425
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:20.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, what's this? Out of the wrecked vehicle, an astonishing figure has materialized. Is it by magic?

426
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.000
<v Speaker B>Now remember something?

427
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

428
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker B>This little first word, bubble. What does it say above Sinestro's head? The first one on the left.

429
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.000
<v Speaker A>The car is demolished.

430
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.000
<v Speaker B>But look, remember that the car is demolished.

431
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker A>Okay?

432
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:58.000
<v Speaker B>Okay. He says. What? You don't recognize me? It's true. I Gained weight on my energy diet in the amber in which Green Lantern had imprisoned me. And so I'm somewhat bigger than I was before. I still think you'd know me at once. I'm Sinestro, Green Lantern's mortal enemy. This bitch comes out of swole amber and she's like, uh, it's true. I'm bigger than I was.

433
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.000
<v Speaker A>Like, yeah. What? Why?

434
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.000
<v Speaker B>What? Why?

435
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker A>What an interesting detail.

436
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker B>What an interesting thing to say. It's like, hi, everyone, it's me, Sinestro. I know I've put on a little bit of weight, but, you know, I've been stuck in amber.

437
00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker A>It's all muscle. I've had literally nothing to eat but amber energy.

438
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker B>I'm swole. It's hilarious.

439
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker A>I was trapped in amber. I had nothing to do but work out. Yes. Hal had trapped Sinestro in a block of amber, which Hal. Because amber is yellow.

440
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker B>I have no idea.

441
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker A>Is it not?

442
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.000
<v Speaker B>Yes, it's in the yellow family.

443
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker A>And he was keeping Sinestro in amber in his garage alongside his sports car. And Goitrude.

444
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:44.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

445
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:50.000
<v Speaker A>We learn in a minute. All right. With his mind imprisoned in the car.

446
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.000
<v Speaker B>Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm doing this.

447
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

448
00:37:52.000 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker B>I'm not gonna do all of this, but I have to do this. With my mind imprisoned in that car, I saw only one way to free myself. By using the combined ring force to my foes. A typically ironic, sinister maneuver, if I may say so.

449
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.000
<v Speaker A>Is that really irony?

450
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.000
<v Speaker B>No, it's not.

451
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.000
<v Speaker A>It's Alanis Morissette irony.

452
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:20.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, he's been. He's been. All he's had to do is work out in the amber. Yeah, he's had. He's had far too long without face to face contact.

453
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:26.000
<v Speaker A>So the crooks are like, er. Cool story, bro. I guess you don't need us anymore.

454
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker B>You have red skin. You're weird.

455
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:43.000
<v Speaker A>Nonsense. I'm recruiting you as the nucleus of my criminal army to carry out a gigantically evil skill. You wouldn't think of refusing to join me, would you? No, no, no, no, no. Would you?

456
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker B>Good.

457
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker A>Before I go, I see doy. B. Dickels is carrying a device on him I can put to good use. It's the dimension change bro changer.

458
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker B>Oh. How's he gonna get home?

459
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:56.000
<v Speaker A>Well, I don't know, but what's Sinestro gonna do with it?

460
00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:04.000
<v Speaker B>And as for you two justice loving crusaders, by the time your paralysis wears off, it will be too late for you to interfere with my plans. So far. Too late.

461
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker A>Ha, ha, ha. So Sinestro takes off with his yellow Power ring with these crooks in toes. And not long afterward, on the planet of Oa, the far off home of that all but mythical race, the mighty Guardians of the Universe.

462
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:28.000
<v Speaker B>Reporting to Control. We have just completed our daily inspection of the Master Power Battery. All is well. It is functioning perfectly as usual.

463
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:37.000
<v Speaker A>Nothing must ever go wrong with this Master Battery. It supplies the energy to the smaller batteries. Our brave Green Lanterns.

464
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker B>Just as the inspection ends. Look, the Master Battery.

465
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.000
<v Speaker A>It is fading away.

466
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.000
<v Speaker B>And in the next instant, incredibly, the battery has vanished.

467
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker A>Ah. And suddenly, before the shot Guardians, the giant head of Sinestro appears.

468
00:39:51.000 --> 00:40:19.000
<v Speaker B>I see you recognize me, my former superiors and self righteous judges. Yes, it is I, Sinestro. I have taken your Master Battery and transported it to another dimension. Another universe over which you Guardians have no power. You will never get it back. This is the end of your anti evil reign. But it is just the beginning of mine. I will use my Great Battery. I will use your Great Battery in my own way to restore the power of evil in the cosmos. That is my mission. My destiny.

469
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:23.000
<v Speaker A>Farewell. Quickly, contact Control at once.

470
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.000
<v Speaker B>He is mad.

471
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:48.000
<v Speaker A>So out from Oa flashes an urgent message to Green Lanterns across the universe. This is a cosmic emergency. Sinestro is at large once again. He has stolen the Master Power Battery. It must be recovered within the next 24 hours or your rings will be powerless. Evil will overrun the universe.

472
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker B>And on Earth, Sinestro must be found, says Hal Jordan.

473
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.000
<v Speaker A>So Hal's gotten the message from his ring.

474
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker B>Yes, because he's standing there looking his hands up in front of him, and

475
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:04.000
<v Speaker A>Hal says, it's my responsibility to stop this because I put him in the Amber Cube from which he managed to escape. Somehow I must recapture him.

476
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker B>Way to take responsibility, Hal. Good for you. And as the full weight of that

477
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker A>has happened and he can't wait until his paralysis wears off, because then his ring will be dead.

478
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.000
<v Speaker B>Yes, and as we know, Hal Jordan has incredible willpower.

479
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:39.000
<v Speaker A>Well, he was a test pilot. Yes, of course. Calling a pencil strength. Yes. Calling upon the deepest reserves of his invincible willpower, Hal strains to regain control over his nerves and muscles. Alan senses what Hal is doing, and he's going to try to aid him. Concentrating mentally to project his willpower to back up Hal's own.

480
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:41.000
<v Speaker B>Let me help you, buddy.

481
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:58.000
<v Speaker A>Then, as the combined force of will of the Crusaders burst, the invisible box gripping Hal. In seconds after surging Emerald Energy has liberated the other two.

482
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.000
<v Speaker B>Ah.

483
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:06.000
<v Speaker A>Release. All right. It turns out Sinestro has gone into Earth too.

484
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:15.000
<v Speaker B>Hey, folks, I'm sorry. This has really gotten really, really way, like way over on the scale of gay O meter.

485
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:23.000
<v Speaker A>Right. There's a warning on itunes. Okay, they'll be fine. Yeah, unless it's they're a first time listener. And Republic first time.

486
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker B>Good luck.

487
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.000
<v Speaker A>Sorry, folks.

488
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.000
<v Speaker B>They're all like this. If you're a first time listener.

489
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker A>All right. Also, what is this? That says the Master Power battery must be recovered within the next 48 hours. I thought it was 24.

490
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker B>Thank you. There's lots of inconsistencies here. What did I tell you to remember

491
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:41.000
<v Speaker A>from a few pages back that Goitrude was destroyed?

492
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.000
<v Speaker B>Keep that in mind.

493
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:54.000
<v Speaker A>All right. Hal and Alan take off. They tell Doye wants to come, and they say no. Taking on Sinestro and his criminal army is a job for me and Al, and we don't want you to get hurt.

494
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.000
<v Speaker B>Doyuby.

495
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

496
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:56.000
<v Speaker B>A good shot of Hal Jordan's butt.

497
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

498
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.000
<v Speaker B>Yep.

499
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:03.000
<v Speaker A>But before the doughty. Oh, I thought that's a doughy. Which also fits.

500
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker B>Doybbi.

501
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker A>Before the doughty ex cabbie can protest, they fly off to breach the barrier between Earth 1 and 2. Yes, but Doibby's not just going to stand around. He's still got his little spaceship there. And what they don't realize is that his wife, Princess Raimia, send him to school on Murg to learn some simple futuristic science. And he can use his space scooter toolkit to make a new dimension changer in place of the one Sinestro stole so that he can also get to Earth too. And what do you know? Yoinks it works. He does. He finds the Master Power Battery on Earth 2 where Sinestro is waiting.

502
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:56.000
<v Speaker B>He's just standing there by the battery.

503
00:43:56.000 --> 00:44:11.000
<v Speaker A>So he has actually beaten Hal and Alan there. So Doibby takes off, Sinestro chases him, then Hal and Allen appear and what do you think they find? A whole bunch of little Sinestro Corps members.

504
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:15.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah. So I guess he recruits them or something.

505
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker A>He recruited them? I guess he went to his home planet. But they all have reds.

506
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:26.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, sorry, they're not experienced fighters. No, we'll find out here in a second. They all have red skin. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.

507
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:45.000
<v Speaker A>And they are using their new rings to charge at the Master Power Battery with their evil oath. In brightest day and blackest night, no justice shall escape my sight. Let those who worship justice as might, beware my power. Evil Green Lanterns light.

508
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:55.000
<v Speaker B>Well, let's go forward a few pages. Wow. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 pages. Well, we got a bunch of people of. Where's Sinestro from? Do you know? I don't know.

509
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.000
<v Speaker A>Sinestro is from the planet Korugar.

510
00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:00.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, so these must be Some Korugarians of Earth 2. Of Earth 2.

511
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.000
<v Speaker A>Korugar 2.

512
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:10.000
<v Speaker B>Korugar 2. Okay. In the battle of Power Rings that promptly breaks out, a certain experience born of countless combats on the side of justice pays off.

513
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:28.000
<v Speaker A>Yes, the evil Green Lanterns haven't learned to attack to back their rings with their willpower. That's a trick you don't learn overnight. Except Hal literally learned it overnight. So I also did Alan. But I guess it helps if you're on the side of good, not evil, right?

514
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker B>And moments later, as the hard pressed space shooter, using evasive space scooter. Oh, space scooter, Sorry. Using evasive tactics, flashes over the scene once more, just a tick ahead of its awesome pursuer.

515
00:45:43.000 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker A>So they've beaten Sinestro's henchmen. But Great Guardians, here comes Doiby. Followed by Sinestro. All right. Sinestro realizes he's got to take care of these two gentlemen. And now Sinestro has two power rings. One green and one yellow. How he's gonna use his.

516
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:08.000
<v Speaker B>What? Where did he get them? Did he make them?

517
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:48.000
<v Speaker A>He probably made them from a power battery. All right, all right. He's shooting his yellow beam at Hal because he knows Hal's ring has no defense against anything yellow. And Alan has to act fast to block the beam with his own ring because he is not powerless against yellow. So, Halloween. Oh, I think this is a misprint. Alan says I've used my ring to turn Sinestro's yellow beam back. But based on the art, I think he means to say I've turned the yellow beam black. It must be because now Hal can fight against it.

518
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:52.000
<v Speaker B>Right? Right. Oh, it must be black. Yeah, it's clearly black.

519
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:58.000
<v Speaker A>Bah. I'm still more than a match for you two simpering justice lovers. And I'll prove it.

520
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:04.000
<v Speaker B>I just have to say, if I were listening to this. Yeah, I much prefer your gay voice over mine for Sinistro.

521
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker A>Cause I'm twice as gay as you.

522
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.000
<v Speaker B>I didn't realize it was a scale.

523
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:18.000
<v Speaker A>Well, sure, it's a sliding scale. Also, I've had years more practice being gay than you have.

524
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.000
<v Speaker B>Because I'm older by a few more years.

525
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:25.000
<v Speaker A>Well, okay, cradle robber. All right.

526
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:27.000
<v Speaker B>And to be specific, just over four years.

527
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:40.000
<v Speaker A>Yes, but Hal and Alan are momentarily stunned. But then Hal suggests that they combine their Two beams into one for double power.

528
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:41.000
<v Speaker B>Mm.

529
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:52.000
<v Speaker A>Which they do. And the two Lanterns hit Sinestro so hard they knocked the power rings clear off his fingers. And now they could use good old fistycuffs.

530
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.000
<v Speaker B>It's time for fistfights.

531
00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:31.000
<v Speaker A>Later, after Green Beam power has returned the Master power battery to OA1 and Sinestro along with it, the Guardians themselves will deal with Sinestro. Now, Alan, after this latest escapade, they have decided that. Oh, wait, I forgot to do my Green Lantern voice. The Guardians are now, Alan, after this latest escapade, they have decided that he merits their personal attention to make sure he never troubles them or anyone else again.

532
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:35.000
<v Speaker B>In the aftermath of victory, certain facts emerge.

533
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:49.000
<v Speaker A>And what happened in the beginning involving your taxi doy b was this. Blah, blah, blah. He'd imprisoned Sinestro in an amber cube and he kept the Cuban visibly in his garage along with Goitrude. He thought Sinestro was helpless.

534
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, I misunderstood. His cube was invisible. Perhaps Goitrud wasn't.

535
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:11.000
<v Speaker A>But it was only his body that was helpless. His mind, vigorous and restless as ever, managed to tap the power in Goitrude's recharged battery and send out a shockwave that cracked the amber, enabling his mind to escape and enter the car. And you know the rest.

536
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:18.000
<v Speaker B>As the time for parting nears for the three friends. How Alan Scott says.

537
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

538
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:36.000
<v Speaker B>How? Doybey says he'd rather not have Goitrud on merg. He says she'd look too old fashioned there. So, as our present to Doiby on his first wedding anniversary, I've used my ring to make a substitute gift. The scale model of Goitrude, exact in every detail. Now, what was the fact that I

539
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:39.000
<v Speaker A>asked you to remember that Goitrude was destroyed?

540
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:45.000
<v Speaker B>He says that Doybi would rather not have Goitrud on Murg.

541
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:46.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

542
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:51.000
<v Speaker B>In order to give him the gift of Geitrud, they'd have to remake Geitrude,

543
00:49:51.000 --> 00:50:01.000
<v Speaker A>which they can easily do with their parents. Can they? Yes. Have you read a Green Lantern comic ever? Yes. Yes, he can. They could remake Gertrude.

544
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:02.000
<v Speaker B>She was astroid.

545
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:09.000
<v Speaker A>Yes. If they can make a scale model perfect in every detail, they could certainly make a full size Goitrud.

546
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, well, Doybey's overwhelmed.

547
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker A>They could do anything with willpower. Doiby's so touched. He's about to ball.

548
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:21.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

549
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:37.000
<v Speaker A>All right. Doibby takes off with his gift. Alan explains that Sinestro intended to use his sinister Green Lanterns to flood the universe with evil and destroy justice wherever it exists. Just as it's the Green Lantern's mission to destroy evil. Evil wherever it exists.

550
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:46.000
<v Speaker B>He failed. As those who worship evil must always fail. But now I must get back to my own Earth. Alan, we'll meet again soon, I trust.

551
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.000
<v Speaker A>We sure will, Hal.

552
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.000
<v Speaker B>And after Hal returned home, he used his ring to restore Goitrud.

553
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.000
<v Speaker A>There, you see? He used his ring to restore Goitrude.

554
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:16.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, I guess I was so angry over the whole idea of Goitrude being destroyed and then offered to do. Okay, well, well, shame on me. Bad Brob. And he put the car back in storage for safekeeping. Then he told me that would be Tom all about the adventure. Just as I've recounted it to you, reader from my casebook of Green Lantern the.

555
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:32.000
<v Speaker A>The end. Well, I like the story, as you know. I like anytime they have the Earth Two and Earth ones team up. I know you famously hate Earth 2, but former me. Okay, all right, all right, all right.

556
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:40.000
<v Speaker B>A perfect way to get me comfortable with Earth 2 and Earth 1 is to introduce Green Lantern. It's always a gateway drug for me for new things.

557
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:56.000
<v Speaker A>Sure. What you may not know is that it's later revealed that the Guardians of the Universe attempted to strip all magic and send it to another dimension

558
00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker B>from

559
00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker A>the Earth one dimension.

560
00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:58.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

561
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:32.000
<v Speaker A>And they sent the magic to the Earth 2 dimension. And that's where Alan's ring comes from. Because it was implanted in a meteor that fell to Earth in ancient China. And then various people used the power of the meteor until it was finally shaped into a lantern and was on the train where Alan Scott was the caboose manager. Right. Or something. And train wrecked. And he found the lantern and it gave him powers. Something like that. I don't remember.

562
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:37.000
<v Speaker B>But doesn't he. Doesn't Allen Scott also report to oa?

563
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:38.000
<v Speaker A>No.

564
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:39.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, he doesn't?

565
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:39.000
<v Speaker A>No.

566
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

567
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.000
<v Speaker A>Because they're not in Earth too.

568
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:42.000
<v Speaker B>Sorry.

569
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.000
<v Speaker A>That's fine.

570
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

571
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:52.000
<v Speaker A>No. He sheds his light over the dark things. For the dark things cannot stand the light of the Green Lantern.

572
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:57.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, okay.

573
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.000
<v Speaker A>And his ring is more magic based.

574
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:01.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

575
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:04.000
<v Speaker A>Versus Hal's super scientific ring.

576
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

577
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.000
<v Speaker A>That's all I. That's the only information I have for you.

578
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:15.000
<v Speaker B>Well, don't. I just feel like I've been on a wonderful road of fun and silliness.

579
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:18.000
<v Speaker A>Sure. Welcome to our life.

580
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:23.000
<v Speaker B>That the storm is way long gone but the sky is still dark. Oh, and there's a rainbow.

581
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.000
<v Speaker A>Can you see it? No.

582
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:26.000
<v Speaker B>Of course.

583
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.000
<v Speaker A>Lean forward. Hang on.

584
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:30.000
<v Speaker B>Look.

585
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.000
<v Speaker A>Look. I'm sure.

586
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.000
<v Speaker B>Isn't that beautiful? Oh, Isn't that nice?
