M6p: Marvel 616 Politics

It's not often that we discuss what we are going to discuss in our show ahead of time. I mean, hey! It's not often that we even prepare for the show, let alone give each other the old prod and go with the winky wink and the nudgy nudge on the Tina Awards (what in the world does THAT mean?) But desperate times call for desparate measures. And that's why you should go eat and Frank's Gas and Chow! Fill up and go at Frank's Gas and Chow! ...wait, what? We didn't secure that sponsorship yet? Well that's embarrassing. No, no...in all seriousness. On this show we will be discussing Infinity #1 and #2 as well as Battle of the Atom #1 and All-New X-Men #16. How do I know that? I'm actually just guessing. I'll let you know when we actually record! See you in North Dakota!! Now seems as good a time as any to mention our (real) sponsors.

Well, it's no secret that Jarid loves Tina Turner, but did you know that this cat loves the Backstreet Boys as well? Well...that's not totally true. Okay, okay...he doesn't like the Backstreet Boys at all. He can't stand them. He hates them. He loathes them. Wait...that's not true either? Now I'm just confused. Does Jarid like the BB's (that's what he calls them) or not? Oh...OH! He loves his wife! Is that why he uses that magic marker every night to draw on Kevin's mustache? Now it's coming together. Now it's illuminated. Now it makes sense! Jarid actually IS a Backstreet Boy! I KNEW IT! I KNEW that sun of a gun was famous! I'm going to be famous! Bow to me you ants of this world! Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves!! (wow, that's harsh) For I am the podcast co-host of a Backstreet Boy! Now seems as good a time as any to mention our sponsors.

Who are we to judge? I mean, truly! I'm not judgmental of Jarid's annoying habit of flossing while he is putting in his contacts. He doesn't judge me when I practice my duck calls exclusively performed by my crelbows and knee-pits. We don't jump down anyone's throat that actually is enjoying the Captain Marvel series. So, I ask you...how can we judge Hank Pym's life choices? He continuously makes it abundantly clear that invention and re-invention is the path for him! Who are we to say otherwise? If he wants to make a life choice about not creating more seeminly benign robots that will eventually destroy all of mankind, we won't be hurting his feelings with our "nay-saying." I mean, I think humanity can take one for the team with Pym. He's been through a lot. A lot of names, a lot of identities, a lot of tights...some different antennae...some fins (OH I'M SORRY! "WINGS"). Either way, if he needs to feel good about his wretched human-killing, self-destructive existence I think we can all give him

Not to spoil anything for you...but Jarid seems like he's losing it over the new Iron Man movie. I'm not sure what his deal is. It seemed fine to me. There was no CGI fire that was there and then wasn't and then was there and then wasn't. There was no preachy mutie stuff (such harsh slang for are fine mutant friends). There wasn't terrible characterization of the White Queen...I mean, maybe some other characters...just maybe!!!!! But then he's never a cheerful guy. I mean, he once ate a whole 5 pounds of bacon to prove to me that bacon can make your stomach hurt. I mean, who am I to argue? I told him to go Freezer Burn himself! And then guess what! He went and auditioned for this movie that Marvel is putting out called...you guessed it: Freezer Burn! So weird! We are sponsored by DCBService.com and their sister site, InStockTrades.com.

So, here we are just recording another show and Jarid feels like he's got to get his digs in. Sure I'm 30 and sure I may be a tad overweight at a solid 400 pounds...but does he have to let the listeners know? My take is that he could have been a lot more subtle. I mean, "ain't nobody got time for dat!" I don't make fun of his inability to grow facial or back hair. I don't mock him for his irrational fear of jelly. I don't inappropriately bring up his secret ambition to become the world's first invisible buttock model (right cheek only, I'm told). I don't do any of that. And yet, he stands before me, brazenly declaring that he will help ME with my problems?!? The man doesn't even own a pair of aviator sunglasses for goodness sake! Forget it. I hate him.

I don't believe it! I don't. I refuse. I mean, Jarid thinks that the Body Politic likes him better than me. This is totally unnacceptable. He's the jerk. Not me. And then he starts making fun of me because I'm losing my voice? Then he calls me Jerry Seinfeld (or however you spell that yahoo's name). Well, I won't stand for it. I'm better than that guy! I've read this week's books: Avengers, New Avengers, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Force, X-Force and Cable, Avengers Arena, etc. etc. etc. Just tune in and see for yourself.

Can you believe it?!?! We wrapped up another fantastic, amazing, superior, astounding year here at Marvel 616 Politics. AND...we didn't kill each other. Even after Jarid pulled his usual shenanigans this episode with his NINE Tina Awards. OH YES!! You CAN believe your eyes. Jarid, that jerk, picked 9 Tina Awards for our TWO issues that we reviewed. So tune in and listen to our voicemails, our take on Amazing Spider-Man #700 and Superior Spider-Man #1, as well as hearing our 2012 Year in Review!!

Right on, man. It's cool. We slide right into our future along side our new bedfellow--Marvel NOW. Cool. We just go with where the road takes us and we just dive right in. It's surreal, man. AvX is over, man. We now can all gather 'round and show our love for one another. These new titles unite us under a singular consciousness, man. And that's what it's all about.

You may find it interesting that Jackie sounds a lot like Andy. You may find it interesting that Jennifer sounds a lot like Jarid. But I think what you will find most interesting is that these two goddesses of the earth put up with these two dopes to any and all degrees. We've got pigs, toothbrush fiascos, action figures, and toy stores. Too much money on comics, not enough time in love. How do they do it? Well, tune in to find out how these lovely gals take on their hubbies in a special anniversary episode of Marvel 616 Politics!

That's right everyone. I know in the episode that I said that Jarid was going to be writing this synopsis...but since he's at the old J. O. B., I thought I'd take a break and do him a flavor. That's right. A FLAVOR. WHAT!?!? I said it, and I'm not apologizing for it. I mean, we got only a few months of the world left before that despicable feathered serpent comes back and I will not be branded an aristocrat for the short time I have left. And if talking like a "R and B" musician/artist is what gets me there...then I WILL throw my hands in the air (as if I just did not care)!

Sometimes you have to toot your own horn. It's not a big deal. We're just that good. (Hey, that would have been a better title. Why would I say 'too' good, when I could have titled this album 'that' good? Huh...well too late now. I already wrote it.) Why are we 'too' good, you ask? Just go ahead and skip the entire episode and go right to the Tina's. I mean, who are we kidding? I know you don't listen to the comic book stuff anyway. Do yourself a favor.

It gets easier and easier to prepare for these shows. How? Well, we just don't. Well...that's not really true. I mean we send each other a txt file with some ideas and Jarid usually says, "okay, boss." But what he really means is, "if that's what you really want to talk about...not that I'm complaining; I just think it's stupid to pick those topics. I mean they don't have anything to do with the X-Men or Tina Turner or my J-O-B or anything that I would remotely be interested in. And why do you constantly pick 'good' stories when I hate good stories and story-telling? Aside from Claremont, who couldn't tell a concise story if his life depended on it, I really don't like much of anything nowadays...except for Brian Wood's 'Storm' series. I know, I know...you want to argue that it's not really Storm's book, but you'd be wrong. You are entitled to an opinion...but it's wrong." I mean, GEEZ! Look at what I have to put up with!

Some people ask us some silly questions when they find out that we do a podcast. (i.e. What's a podcast?, Do you get paid?, Do people like you?, Do you get paid?, How much do you spend in hosting per year?, Do you get paid?, What do you talk about on this "pod" "cast"?, Do you get paid?, They still make comic books?, Do you get paid?, Is it as boring as it sounds?, If you don't get paid then why would you do it?) That sort of thing. But they are always surprised to find out how much we laugh and talk about orphans and misconceptions about the birds and the bees and whether we can get our wives to do a show and give us a break. Come to think of it...we're pretty surprised when we talk about those things too. Anyway, we are sponsored by DCBService.com and their sister site, InStockTrades.com.

YES!! We FINALLY get to answer the question of Professor X's frozen yogurt stand and what his best-selling flavors are. YOU'RE WELCOME! As well as doing an "Ask Andy" session followed by 4 stellar reviews of our favorite comics of this past week. (Let's be honest here: Jarid hates everything Andy likes. That's really all there is to it? I mean, you know it; I know it. Everyone knows it. That guy ticks me off so much!!!! He makes me Hulk Out!...well....not really...just rulk really bad.)

It's that time of year again! What time, you ask? Well it's that time that the EVENTS start and the summer blockbusters are busting my block! And well...that's pretty much all we talk about here on our show this issue. The Avengers movie and how much we want to jazzercise to the movie, how Jarid basically directed it, and how we disagree on the length of AvX and what it should be compared to how doggone long it is! And of course this amazing, fantabulous episode is brought to you by the letters: D, C, B, and S (for those of you that are familiar with Sesame Street, that will get some laughs...maybe). That's right! Discount Comic Book Services! DCBService.com sponsor this manic monotony and pay for our Annual Report Renewal Notice for our business license in the state of Louisiana...huh?

There's nothing more embarrassing than dropping your sandwich down a pile of stairs covered with snail trails of slime and then being forced to eat that sandwich while only in your underwear in front of a crowd of politicians. And that's why we are bringing you the very best of AvX commentary this episode. Wait--what?!? Oh, and be sure to catch a glimpse of Jarid and Andy singing their favorite Tina's a la a cappella. And until next time: Make yours Marvel 616 Politics! (brought to you by DCBService.com!!)

So here's the end of our PREVIOUS conversation. Thanks for hanging on to our every word. But I'm not sure you really want to hear us argue about whether the American public is stupid, or if the Vision and Magneto can be friends, or if Hope can stand Cyclops for a little longer, or even if the Hulk should have a sandwich if it's named after Thunderbolt Ross. Either way, it is a fun ride. So join us! Until next time: Make yours Marvel 616 Politics! (brought to you by DCBService.com!!)

I can't believe these two idiots would put out such a terrrible (did you see how I used three "r"'s?) product. But I guess I can't complain too much. I am getting this nonsense for free. But really how the whole production value has suffered through this process. I can't condone this crud....but ....on the other hand, I can't look away!!!! By listening, am I putting my seal of approval on this? I hope not....Gee, I hope not. So until next time: Make yours Marvel 616 Politics! (brought to you by DCBService.com!!)

I truly don't understand why everything is so hard? Why is it so difficult to find good help? Why can't we just do the show and make the fans happy and talk about comics and have a blasty blast? Well, I'll tell you why! Because we don't always get along. Now I know that's hard to believe. Andy and Jarid seem like bestesty chums, but underneath that amiable facade, we sometimes get selfish and obtuse and sometimes....just sometimes....downright unruly. Hard to believe, I know. Yet, don't hold it against us. Because, frankly, if you leave us, we won't have any friends left. So until next time: Make yours Marvel 616 Politics! (brought to you by DCBService.com!!)

Welcome back for another addition of our favoritest podcast in the world! Brought to you by DCBService.com, M6P takes you to places you never intended to go!!
