Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue Review

From the Command Center, Episode 11. Welcome

to the collaboration between the Pop Culture

Network and the Geekcast Radio Network. This

is From the Command Center, the podcast episode

11. I'm Scotty Cash and joining me from the Geekcast

Radio Network is TFG1 Mike. What's up, buddy?

What's going on? Not much. So light speed rescue,

huh? Yep. Well, we don't don't don't give don't

give nothing out yet. No, I know I know before

we get too far into it we do have new new iTunes

reviews on the American side a friend of mine

who actually lives in Canada said we have reviews

on the Canadian side, but I cannot see them because

iTunes has this country coding bullsnot that

Unless you're unless you live in that country

or whatever else or unless you choose that country

You can't see that country's iTunes store, which

is so stupid. So next episode uh... next time

we record I'm gonna have her uh... screen cap

those and send them to me but we have three new

iTunes reviews for the American side uh... one

of them is not really a review and this is really

what kinda makes me mad about iTunes reviews

in general not to this specific person we do

appreciate them giving us a five -star review

but it basically says missed fact missed fact

by Ty did I can't even say what his name is or

her name is? Scotty and TFG on Mike you guys

are awesome I know it's way past Zio, but I thought

it would be funny to mention that Alex Borstein

aka Lois from the family guy actually got her

start as Queen machina and Zio keep up the good

work with Keep up the good work. Oh, yeah, I

have one thing to say to your haters mother frackers

be bullslagging I have no idea God it must be

a kid Must be a little kid, I have no idea. As

far as Alex Borstein, that's all well and good

that she was Queen Machina. I'm not a Family

Guy fan whatsoever. I actually hate that show.

How? I just... It's not my kind of humor. Wow.

It just... I love that for effing show. Trying

not to miss an episode, let alone hate it. Yeah,

I like Futurama. Futurama's good. Family Guy,

that show sucks. Well, in your opinion. In a

lot of people's opinions. Well, you're probably

right. The next review we got was on February

15th. Thanks for the memories. Five star review

by Darth Shaggy. Wow, I didn't know Shaggy went

over to the dark side. Very evil. Yes. Hey guys,

just wanted to say thanks for doing the podcast

that brings me back to my childhood. Now I stopped

watching after the first few episodes of Turbo.

I didn't see the Turbo movie until about a few

years ago. I love the Super Sentai. Enjoy your

favorite episodes and all the rants. Keep them

coming. And yes, the interviews are awesome.

Yes, we will have an announcement about a new

interview at the end of the show this episode.

And the last one is one of the best podcasts,

if not the best. 5 -star review left on February

29th, 2012 by Medalingusmcr54. Mike and Scotty

are doing a great show and taking us back to

our childhoods after looking endlessly for a

good podcast about Power Rangers I found FTCC.

They succeeded in passing all my expectations

and have become my favorite podcasting duo. Linkara's

review of the Super Sentai versions are always

great and they always make you want to look into

the Sentai series. They might make a mistake

now and then and slip up on a fact, but that's

what makes the podcast fun. I find myself yelling

at my iPod when I hear something wrong, but laugh

and keep listening. Overall, it's a great listen,

and anybody who loved Power Rangers as a kid

or still do will love this podcast. My only complaint

is that too much time passes between shows, but

I understand that they live busy lives and schedules

always change. Keep up the good work." Yeah,

you know... It's not even the fact that Scotty

and I have really busy schedules with you know,

Scotty's married He's got kids and he's got an

actual life. Whereas I have no life and I podcast

all the time You know, I you know, I run a podcasting

network of 20 plus podcasts I mean obviously

not all 20 are recording weekly, but you know,

we have other shows that we have to record plus

Watching 40 episodes of a TV series It just can't

be done in under a month at least for me It can't

be done in under a month because it just can't

I found myself as much as I like light speed

rescue I found myself having a very hard time

watching more than two episodes per day in the

last 30 days Yeah, that's about what I did. I

I watched about two two or three episodes a day

I started I've been going to the gym every day

and it's hard to Hard to watch it on my phone

while I'm running, but I usually get on the elliptical

for about 35 minutes and usually get an episode

and a half in so yeah, yeah, so you know, it's

kind of it's kind of I Don't want to say I'm

a closet power ranger for a power ranger friend

obviously But it's kind of it's hard to watch

that while there's like a smoking hot chick walking

around and like, you know like a Tank top. I'm

just kind of like This isn't my Power Ranger

phone You know the thing of it is is and it's

good that in the next few seasons that we kind

of go Well, we go we'll go down by two episodes

a lot of the next couple seasons are you know

38 episodes and stuff like that so but I mean,

it's just That's what we set out to do in the

beginning was have it have an episode every month

or you know when when time you know some sometimes

life gets in the way and there was a time where

the show was on hiatus for a while, but It just

it takes us a month to get all the stuff done

it just does I know you guys want it You know

faster and faster and more frequently, but that's

the schedule we we started with and that's the

schedule that we're gonna keep Because it's just

it's it's too damn long. I mean, I'm sure there's

probably only one season That I will probably

have done within two weeks and that is probably

gonna be Dino Thunder because I absolutely love

that series Yeah, yep, yep, I agree, you know

and it's it's I don't know it's it's hard to

It's high it's hard to find time Sit down for

25 minutes per episode. You know what I mean?

I watch I watch a lot of Netflix on my phone

Yeah, you know on the way to work, which I know

is illegal But it's like usually I'm like listening

to it unless something Like something is major

happening, and then I kind of just glanced over

if there's you know nobody in front of me So

not to slam my brakes on or whatever you know

I mean, but that's what they make car holsters

for so you can just set the phone in a holster

Well, that's what I do. It just sets on my like

my dashboard. Yeah But yeah, but we appreciate

all the positive reviews. Thank you to everybody

who's left us positive reviews and iTunes Not

much else is really going on. I mean, like I

said, you know, we've just been podcasting as

always You know, we've we've got see three But

no, we'll have but but by the end of March we

will have four interviews uh... in total so far

for this year for the cast radio network we've

already talked with uh... john delancey uh...

who was queuing star trek uh... we talked with

lauren lester who was the voice of robin in batman

the animated series and then we're going to be

talking with uh... a new uh... power ranger interview

which i said will be revealed at the end of the

show Yep, and I'm also going to be talking with

Dan Gilvazan, the voice of Spider -Man and Bumblebee

later on this month as well, so that'll be pretty

awesome. Which Spider -Man from like which cartoon

or whatever? Amazing Spider -Man. Spider -Man

and his amazing friends and he also did the 2099

Spider -Man in Shattered Dimensions. Yeah, I

seen that uh, who was the guy that did Robin's

voice? Didn't he do Nightwing's voice too? Yeah.

Same character. Yeah, I seen that I need to I

need to listen to that because Robin is Probably

my second or third favorite DC character Cool,

so I'll probably I'll probably listen to that

just so I can hear him talk Yeah, it was it was

pretty awesome talking to him That's cool. Well,

anyway back to Power Rangers. Yes back to Power

Rangers and getting into light speed It came

out in 2000 uh... it's is in the c franchises

i was thousand one uh... simply called uh...

was here is that two thousand incarnation of

power rangers tv franchise based on the super

sentai series uh... go -go five It was the first

incarnation of Power Rangers to have the Rangers'

identities to be known to the public from the

onset as opposed to previous incarnations where

Rangers' identity was to be kept secret, revealed

only in extreme circumstances. Let's see, what

else do we have here? Before we get any farther,

did you like that? Oh, I absolutely loved it.

I thought it was about damn time. I thought they

should have done that starting in space. when

we talked about space and when we uh when we

got to lost galaxy last month i thought lost

galaxy was the one that did that i didn't realize

that it wasn't until now i wish they would have

done that three three series ago at this point

right um i will i you know i will have to disagree

but you know just just because that's just my

opinion it's a lot it's a lot it's more entertaining

for me If their identity is kept a secret, it's

easier to do a bunch of episodes or a bunch of

series Where their superheroes where their identity

is kept a secret if you had two or three in a

row where they they Everybody knew who they were

it would just kind of be like, you know what

I mean? I think at this point you would be like,

I don't know and then if if When it's when it's

kept a secret you can do a lot of episodes where

they're almost finding out who they are or you

know stuff like that Yeah, but see with with

Power Rangers at least with the American version

of Power Rangers from MMPR to space You know

you had Balkan skull and both glad they're closer.

Well, no, I know that but I'm just saying like

we've had like the reason why I like them not

Having a secret identity in lightspeed is because

we've had the secret identity for the past seven

seasons You know, I mean, we've had all those

stories. We've had people trying to figure out

who the Power Rangers are. I was sick of it.

And I was glad that, you know, they basically

just came out and said, and the other thing about

this is about this series being the one that

has them publicly known as Power Rangers is that

they're a part of a military establishment. I

mean, they're they're part of the military, essentially.

You know, so I mean, that that in and of itself.

Makes it better that their identities are not

kept a secret because you can't you know sneak

around a military base You know trying to hide

the fact that you were a pink leotard. Yeah.

Yeah Yeah, all right continue on sir Zords and

weapons were man -made and had no mystical or

extraterrestrial origin whatsoever. Lightspeed

Rescue also had, for the first time, a Power

Ranger with no Super Sentai counterpart in the

Titanium Ranger. Now, I absolutely love this.

I've been waiting for a truly American -created

Ranger, and I really like the story that... Lights

be told with Captain Mitchell Dana and Ryan.

I thought that was a really great story Absolutely.

That was the best Sixth Ranger in a long time

because there was actually Actually like a story,

you know what and I'm kind of sad that they didn't

drag it out more It was only like two episodes

long and they could have definitely I mean there

was a lot of Standalone episodes that were a

waste of time and they could have put this in

to a three, four, five part mini series and just

blew it out of the water. Just made it awesome.

It was good. Except for the final part where

Ryan tackled his dad and they were automatically

over the edge of that same branch. You know,

that was a little extreme. But besides that,

the story was good. Right. And the thing about

that is even though the origin of Ryan and, you

know, the the backstory of Ryan and all that,

even though that only took maybe two, two and

a half, three episodes, you then have the story

of, hey, you know, Diabolico fucked me up, put

a cobra on my back, and I have to get rid of

this curse. So you had that part of the story.

And then after that, once he got rid of the curse,

you had him searching for a way to entrap the

demons again. So I mean, It did continue throughout

the series, even though it wasn't just a sole

five -parter. I'm glad that they didn't really

do. I mean, they did multi -parters here, but

there was only like one or two, you know, two

-parters. And it wasn't, you know, this series

stands on its own so much that I just prefer

in this specific series that there weren't a

lot of multi -parters, even though I love those

kinds of stories, because This series, yes, as

you said, it does have a few standalones, but

the series as a whole is an entire story. Right,

right. Yeah. Let's see. As there was no regular

Six Ranger in GoGo 5, it is the last Saban produced

Power Rangers series to feature the main villain.

It's a super Sentai counterpart to the next series

to feature the main villain in its super super

Sentai counterpart Would be the Disney produced

Power Rangers Mystic Force which premiered six

years later. Yeah. Well, yeah, you could you

could tell that well now you couldn't tell because

It wasn't that obvious but after I heard that

there was no Titanium Ranger in the Sentai series

you could you could then tell that oh definitely

Because he was gone a lot doing his own thing

not not in the battles and you could tell like

From the footage looked like well old -ass sentai

footage as opposed to when Ryan was in there

It was like I won't say HD but it was like well

almost like HD compared to Some of the old crap

that you know, the sentai was using it was just

like grainy You know, there's Chinese people

running around everywhere and it's like all Ryan's

in the in the picture and everyone's American

So it's just like you mean that you could tell

that You know, that's why he was off doing his

own thing, but I loved his outfit. Absolutely

loved his outfit. I loved his morpher The the

titanium ranger was was pretty awesome. Yeah,

it was Um, I remember watching this series when

it first aired but I only watched up to the point

of the Cobra episodes and I never like this whole

month that we've been watching this through to

get prepared for this episode this is the first

time I had ever seen the end of the series because

after the Cobra episodes back in 2000 I just

kinda lost it wasn't that I disliked the series

back then I was just like okay that story's over

what else is on you know What's on TV next? You

know, what's on after this? Did you like the

Cobra? Cobra thing. Oh, yeah, I thought that

was a great part of the storyline. See, I thought

it was just kind of cheesy because like if it

was that easy to put a Cobra on him, why wouldn't

you just put a Cobra on all of the Rangers over

and over and over? I mean, I know obviously it's

just a television show and that wouldn't make

make for very fun, but it was kind of like, oh,

hey, look, Cobra on your back. It wasn't there

was nothing to it. You know what I mean? Well,

see, that's the thing about this series, though,

is each of the Rangers has their own storyline.

As far as, you know, Carter has the whole thing

with Captain Mitchell being the fireman that

saved him. Kelsey has her grandmother thing with,

you know, all that. Chad has, you know, he fell

in love with a mermaid. Dana is trying to live

up to what her father wants her to be. And then

she has that stupid episode where she just goes

completely off character in Oh God, what's the

name of stupid episode? I Know what you're talking

about where she wants to be like a fire like

a fashion model Yeah in the limelight limelight.

That's what it was and then you have Joel who?

In the beginning is the biggest douchebag in

the history of Power Rangers We gotta, I gotta

disagree. Why? In the very beginning? Joel, by

far from the get -go, is my favorite Ranger.

Wow. This is the series where I could care less

about the crappy go to church every Sunday and

even Wednesdays and sometimes Thursday mornings

Red Ranger. I don't, I just don't, I just don't

like, I don't mind Carter. He is a good Red Ranger

because... You know, he was never scared of anything.

You know, he didn't really have any fears that

he had overcome. There was times where it was

there was a giant or a giant anything. And he

was like, well, I don't have my swords. So I'm

just going to run at you with my sword. Yeah.

And it's like, you know, he's definitely a bad

ass. There's but he's just like, man, he's just

like he's flavorless, I guess. I don't know.

He's I don't know what the word I'm looking for

here. But Joel, the sky cowboy was. you know

and obviously they made the character that way

but I just loved I loved his character and how

stupid he was and how cheesy he was like after

the episode where they had amnesia and they're

like oh I got this training course for you and

he's like oh oh hey I don't I don't know where

I am. You know, I lost my memory again. Yeah,

but that was like towards the middle of the series,

towards almost towards the end of that. You know,

that was where he was actually getting to have

actual character development. In the very beginning,

he is this cocky kid who thinks he's God's gift

to women. Oh, you don't like Operation Lightspeed?

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Like the first 10 episodes.

in the series it's where he's the biggest douchebag

in the world he's constantly screwing up and

missing you know almost missing the the suv going

out of the base because he's trying to impress

miss fairweather by the end of the series i did

become to like i i did come to like joel but

in the beginning he's just a total dickhead yeah

yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah i i guess and there's

always I guess not always, but there's usually

a ranger like that that's kind of on them on

this on theirself, but they probably got a lot

of flack from that and that's why they changed

them to be the way it was because then he was

kind of like a Slappy kind of nah, I won't say

slappy because that's definitely not the right

word slapstick I know because he was he was a

he was a way more of a likable character But

I I picked up from Joel from the beginning and

I just liked Joel from the very beginning on

You know cuz it yeah cuz I know you're talking

about there was that episode where he was like

look I'm just gonna do this with my My flying

machine and she's like no, you can't do that.

You know, mr. Fairweather was like no don't do

that You know, it's not ready for that. He's

like no, I'm gonna do it anyway. I can do it

and they're like listen You idiot. Yeah, you

can't do that. The machine does not not ready

for that. Yeah Oh and by the way, mr. Fairweather

definitely hot Yes, mr. Weather was definitely

hot and she got even hotter at the very end when

she didn't have her glasses and let her hair

down and everything I didn't think that was possible,

but she she sure was. Oh, yes What do you think

of the the five Rangers outfits? Um, I gotta

be honest. I actually really like them. I read

a lot of stuff I've heard people different people's

You know videos about like their figures and

a lot of people hate their outfits for whatever

reason what they are it reminds me of some kind

of um Like a rescue symbol, especially the red

ranger especially carter's outfit kind of reminds

me of a red like a rescue like a badge So, you

know and that's what they are you know at first

I hated it when it was like oh here we go again

the stupid rangers are running out doing rescue

911 and giving people CPR and and bringing people

from buildings but then I stopped and kind of

thought you know what they're kind of like that's

what they are they are a rescue team that just

happens to fight monsters also so I I started

liking it then and you know and I was kind of

like you know how can we even save nobody for

a while you know what I'm sure there's a building

on fire or something somewhere But yeah, I like

their outfits. Yeah out of The last well, do

you like their outfits? Yeah, I do but I'm gonna

get to that in a second Okay, okay out of out

of the last three series and I'm not I'm not

counting the MMP are Morphers and not morphers.

I'm not not counting the MP MMP our outfits out

of the last three series space galaxy and then

this These are the outfits I like the best because

they to me are the most unique because Essentially

what you have here is in the morphing sequence.

They're basically throwing a beach ball It's

coming back at them and absorbing it's like fabric

absorbing over their bodies or something I thought

that was a really cool fun way to have a morphing

sequence instead of just Press a button show

some DNA or press a button and show a Charlie

Brown symbol or you know something like that

Um, I definitely agree with that. It was it's

definitely better than uh The last two in in

space kind of reminds me of turbo it wasn't too

much different and then lost galaxy was The only

thing I can think of when I see lost galaxy is

that that red outfit running like an idiot Yeah,

and that's all I can see every time I think of

that outfit Like their outfits. Okay, I'm lost

Galaxy, but I just can't get that running out

of my head. Yeah And then the Titanium Rangers

outfit was so unique and what I love about this

Actually, I was watching out when Kara's history

of Power Rangers on this on light speed and He

said that it actually makes sense that the that

the Rangers helmets this time don't have that

stupid mouthpiece You know like you have molded

lips on a lot of the other ones I noticed that

who is like who's Lincarta? Lincara is the guy

that does the history of Power Rangers videos.

I've tried to get you to watch Lincara, how do

you spell that? He's I'll I'll get you a link

in a second. Okay But he pointed out that it

makes sense that These Power Rangers do not have

the molded mouth because they're essentially

part of a military unit and their helmets are

essentially visors. And their visors can retract

to show their faces. Well, what does that have

to do with anything? I like the style of the

helmets is what I'm saying. But Link, what? Well,

because he pointed it out. They don't have mouthpieces

because they're in the military? Yeah. That doesn't

make any sense. No, what he was saying was it

makes sense to not use a molded mouth helmet

because you're in the military. You want to get

as much protection as possible on your face.

Oh, okay. I got you. Okay. I see. Yes. Do you

have a favorite out of the six if you had to

pick one? Joel? Probably Joel. I really like

Ryan, but I probably have to run with Joel. Yeah,

um except for Except for on that last episode

where he had that goofy ass white shirt on and

that and that I mean I like this cowboy hat But

I wish it would have stopped at that, you know,

cuz at that last episode I was like what in God's

name. Are you wearing? At the end of the last

episode you mean yeah, it wasn't a tie it was

going he was finally going on his date with with

Merriwether right and he wore that and he wore

that the worst thing ever it was like it wasn't

a tie it was like uh it's like a cowboy tie it's

like two strings and you pull up like that that's

you finally get a date with this chick after

you've been chasing her for 40 episodes and that's

what you wear seriously somebody needed to have

a sit down with him well yeah uh for me i would

probably pick ryan overall i i did like carter

and a lot of his Basically gung -ho and just

go out and get the job done But I thought Ryan's

storyline was probably the best and he had the

the best overall character development I think

I mean you see character development here and

there through you know Chelsea or not not Chelsea

Kelsey and Chad were their friends with each

other and Kelsey has this whole thing with her

grandmother and Chad has this whole you know

Romeo and Juliet forbidden love with Neptune's

daughter thing and I thought I thought that Chad

I didn't even know Chad's name until like I don't

know halfway through the season because I kept

going like what's that guy's name like the Blue

Ranger just got no love I mean it was just like

I mean he finally got a couple episodes but I

was starting to think like He'd done something

to piss somebody off because he's not getting

any kind of love But yeah Yeah, but um Not getting

too far ahead. I love the way the first episode

how The Rangers came about like they had been

I wish they would have done it a little bit more

Because they're like, you know, we've been looking

for you guys for a long time and and I like,

you know Joel walking away was kind of reminded

me of The first Power Rangers when they're like,

yeah riot monsters. Okay, we're out of here You

know what I mean? But I really liked how there

was you know, they got the folders out and they're

like it's it's time, you know Go get him. We've

been watching these people. It kind of reminded

me of a samurai Where you know, they've been

trained since they were little, you know, but

of course light speed rescue Didn't know that

they they had been being watched. So I really

liked how how they did that, right? they didn't

know that they were being watched but again,

you got to look at this series as a military

as as as the military would look at it because

Essentially, they've been recruited their entire

lives to do this job Right. Those five people

were, you know, that was their, I guess you could

say destiny with, you know, going with a word

from Samurai, but that was their calling to be

a part of this military operation. I did overall

get a feel for the series that it was, it reminded

me so much of, I don't know if you've ever seen

this series, it was on NBC back in the 90s, SeaQuest

DSV. No. It's basically a series on NBC. It's

a sci -fi series on NBC back in the day where

they were aboard the SeaQuest, a sub that would

basically go around and investigate different

things. And the whole Aqua base thing kind of

reminded me of that a little bit. Their allies

in this series are Captain William Mitchell,

who is Dana's father and the commander of the

unit. Dana and Ryan's dad. Angela Fairweather.

I know I said Merryweather earlier. I must have

been getting it crossed with Sleeping Beauty.

I was going to correct you, but then I thought

about that guy going, yeah, you missed a fact.

So I just let it go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the Galaxy Power Rangers make an appearance.

And then in the next season, because next season

that we'll do is Time Force. So they list the

Time Force Rangers as being allies for these

guys as well. Let's talk about the galaxy Rangers

God of course they show up and do and what do

they do they that f and run right out of the

gate, dude I'm like, are you kidding me? They

do but They don't all show up at once Leo shows

up first the the Kendrick's and and What's her

name Maya show up and then or no, it's a Kendrick's

and Kai show up. Yeah, like word Kendrick's come

from Well, she was alive, remember? She came

back to life at the end of Lost Galaxy. No, she

was still a ghost, I thought. No, at the end

of Lost Galaxy. Well, either way, because she

gets to come back, Chiron's gone? Um, I don't

know. At the end of Lost Galaxy, when they freed

Mirinoi from the stone curse and they put the

galaxy savers back in the stones, Kendrix came

back to life. We're gonna I'm gonna have to rewatch

that you're gonna have to go back and rewatch

the last episode She was just like a ghost like

on Star Wars where it's kind of like Yoda and

like Obi -Wan and Kendrick came back to life

And I have no idea where Corona's So you have

Leo show up first you have Kendrick's and Kai

show up and then you have Damon and Maya show

up First of all, and I don't know people can

write in if they want to email me tfgmike at

gmail .com If they want to comment on the PCN

forums, they can do so over at popculturenetwork

.com And let me know because I'm not sure about

this the whole time I was watching them and in

those in the suits Leo's voice did not match

the actor whatsoever There was times where definitely

I was like I was like that doesn't sound like

him. It sounded like Carlos from in space Yeah,

and I was kind of like that sounds nothing like

Leo. Yeah, I mean it was it was him, right? It

was he was there He was there in his human form,

but I don't think I think they overdubbed his

voice. Well, they could they had a whole They

had a whole season of voiceovers. They probably

should have tried to use yeah, I believe and

I could be wrong about this I I Again, going

back to watching Linkara's video, Linkara mentioned

that originally, the Lost Galaxy cast was supposed

to get a movie, which they never did. And Trakina's

Revenge was supposed to be like, hey, this is

supposed to be this big thing. And the Trakina's

Revenge two -parter honestly did not need two

parts. It really didn't. Yeah. It's probably

one of, at least to this point, this is the only

Wait a second didn't the yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

we had a team up last season at this point out

of the two team ups This is the worst out of

the two it just like it starts with like Leo

pulling the sword out and it's like, you know

Really? I just thought of nowhere. This is what

happens. Yeah. Yeah But I thought I thought I

was kind of No, no, no, let me let me let me

find the right phrase here. I thought I was kind

of lame extremely lame, maybe that she was like,

you're Leo the Red Ranger. But how shocked she

was when she they wanted her to be a Power Ranger.

It's like, I've never even heard of this Power

Ranger stuff. Are you guys making this up? Yeah.

But all of a sudden she knew that Leo was the

Red Ranger, you know. But but maybe once they

made her a Power Ranger, she went back and and

looked through the archives. Yeah. Yeah. The

problem I have with the Chiquita's Revenge two

-parter is the fact that Amy Miller did not reprise

the role. It's a completely different actress.

Yes, that is correct Like did she did she she

didn't want to do it or was she sick or she quit

or what? I don't I'm not sure Let me look down

here and see what we've got on the information

Let's see I know this is lovely. Okay. Let's

see. Okay, in addition to Lightspeed Rescue,

feature a unique appearance of the characters

from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy when the villainous

Dracena comes to Earth to destroy it and the

Lightspeed Rangers team up with the Galaxy Rangers.

However, in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue,

it was revealed that she had survived and managed

to return to her human form, though is now horribly

disfigured. She then made her way to Earth. planning

to obtain her revenge on the Rangers by destroying

their homeworld. She acquired the allegiance

of the demon Triscull and his army of ghouls,

collecting energy to return her to her insectoid

form. To do that, she captured humans to drain

their life force. So essentially, she pulled

a hordak from Secret of the Sword. Leo teamed

up with the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers in

an attempt to stop her. However, Olympias tainted

the energy with a poison dagger, causing Trakina

to mutate into a gigantic monster. Despite the

help of the Galactic Beasts, and the Galaxy and

Lightspeed Rangers weren't able to stop her until

the Omega Megazord became infused with the lights

of Orion. Trakina was then permanently destroyed.

Trakina is the first human villain to be destroyed,

unlike other human villains from previous seasons.

were turned good by Zordon's energy. Trekkino

was played by A .B. Miller in Lost Galaxy and

Jennifer Burns in Lightspeed Rescue. It does

not say why the change. It was probably a schedule.

I think the only person to this point that left

because of medical reasons for themselves was

Valerie Vernon, the lady that played Kendricks.

I know that In past seasons others have left

due to other circumstances, but I'm not sure

why they did the change changeover I have no

clue. Let's let's get into the villains Queen

man Shira Prince Olympias slash impus Diabolico

Vipera Loki Jinx er the battlings the ghouls

the cyborg Rangers Queen band Shira. What did

you think of her? She was all right. I mean,

I don't know She could have been she could have

been a lot more badass because the way they're

building her up She was gonna be badass, but

she wasn't You know what? I mean, like I don't

know. I Just don't know. I mean Prince Prince

Olympias. I really did like him and how You know

what? I did like I did like the Queen because

there was times where she was like like when

Prince Olympias got sent to that That dark world

or whatever the shadow realm the shadow realm

and she was like he was like debacle was like,

uh, yeah That's my bad. And she was like, oh

well If he's weak enough to let you do it then,

you know pretty much screw him and I was just

like now that is a villain, you know, like She

don't care about her son that she's been taught

They've been talking about for 15 episodes and

now it's like yeah, you're gone Yeah What'd you

think of her? Yeah, they had all this build -up

and then she just became another monster I mean

that's that's really all it was and I mean that's

that's the staple of any Power Rangers series

every single villain transforms into this giant

thing by the end and obviously the Rangers have

to come up with a way to defeat it I really I

liked Olympias he was okay he had some decent

plans I loved the episode Olympias Unbound where

Jynxer basically hypnotizes Captain Mitchell

and basically is using the lightspeed aqua base

energy to fuel Olympias. I thought that was a

great plan. Yeah. And then, oh, what's his name?

Throws him in the closet and locks the door.

Yeah. That was funny. Diabolico reminds me of

Ecliptor. from in space. Yeah, he kind of has

the loyalty gimmick. And he's a really great

fighter. I thought he was very, very well done.

Vipera can just go to hell. It doesn't matter.

Terrible, dude. She was definitely in my viperi.

What the hell is a viperi? Oh, my God. This is

going to be the worst name for a vehicle I've

ever heard. Oh, you tell me her go cart. Yeah,

cart. Yeah, that was terrible, but I wanted to

touch on diabolical real quick. He was by far

my favorite villain, especially when his friend

died and he was like, you know what? I'm not

good or bad. I'm me and I'm fighting against

you because you killed my friend. Yeah. What

was his name? Loki. Loki. Yeah. Or loci loci.

But yeah, Vipera was she was a help. How bad

was she acting? Oh, my God. Very bad. Dude, she

had to be related to somebody. She was definitely

a producer's niece or something because she was

awful. Was she was she American or was that sentai

footage? Because it looked like she was talking

American words. You know, it didn't look like

it was dubbed over. I don't think it was dubbed

over. So no, I think she I think it was America

She was shot like an American if that's making

any sense whatsoever Low -key is essentially

I call him Loki Okay. Well, yeah, low -key low

-key. Well, it's low -key. Yeah, essentially

he is He's a stupid gold are I mean, you know,

he's essentially a Rideau slash Goldar type of

character. He's that type of character where

he is stupid loyal and will do anything, but

his plans always fail. Yeah. I didn't dislike

the character, but at the same time, I didn't

like he wasn't like my favorite. Yeah, he's he's

very forgettable. Yeah. You know, without Diabolico,

he's kind of forgettable. Oh, yeah. At best.

Jinxer reminds me of Finster a lot exactly like

Finster. He's a tall skinny Finster. Yeah The

only thing I hated about Jinxer is the constant

rhymes to get the monsters to grow See, I thought

I liked that because it was it was different.

You know what? I mean, some of them were terrible

But yeah, that's why I don't like it is because

some of them were god -awful and after 15 episodes

I didn't want to hear any more rhymes. Yeah,

it's like God just throw the card and be done

with it What do we have last season we had we

had the What were the putties from last year

or not last year last month mmm, I don't remember

the sting wingers Yes, yes. Yes, the battlings

are ten times better than the sting wingers Yeah,

not the ghouls though because the ghouls are

lame I like, I like the batlings. The batlings

are essentially, cause I really paid attention

to how they fought in the beginning of the series

as they progressed throughout the series. In

the beginning, they're essentially black ninja

suited putties that actually have a resemblance

of a face. By the end of the series, that's Jinx

actually says I have no more monster cards. I

only have this one battling card and it surprised

me how well They made the battlings look at the

end battles as far as actually being able to

fight versus Hey, I'm just gonna hit this Z on

your chest. Yeah, you know Yeah, and thank God

he threw that last card on the Megazord for no

random ass reason But uh, hey, how about them

cyborg Rangers? That was oh god that was so stupid.

Oh, I knew you were gonna say that dude. I love

that episode That was so stupid No, dude. It

was all they sent them home. They did the whole

you know what they don't need us anymore They

go evil one of the Rangers is like no forget

that they don't need us the other one talks them

into it It's like a whole I just love that story,

and I liked how lightning Is what you know what

killed him or whatever to fry their circuit board.

I really did like that episode That was probably

my favorite episode. That was a standalone episode.

I don't like them because of the simple fact

that it's It's the higher -ups. It's the brass

of the military operation coming in and Thinking

that they know best and that robots are going

to be able to do a better job than a human is

Because robots you have to program them you have

to in this case of the cyber rangers yet actually

have a human control them which was so stupid

it was so stupid and you know the whole thing

is you know I know it's an excuse about, oh,

they don't have a heart. And that's a lame excuse.

But that's what makes a Power Ranger a Power

Ranger is that they have heart. They have all

these strong qualities that qualify them. And

one of the reasons why I thought, yes, I like

the way that the Cyborg Rangers looked. I love

the way that their effects were and the way they

fought. But as far as a storyline, it sucked.

Yeah. Going on to the arsenal. I have a huge

problem with the rescue morphers. Why, because

they were extremely lame? No, it's not even that.

Okay, if you're in a battle with a, let's say

a three foot taller than you monster, and I'm

not even talking about when they, you know, when

they grow. I'm talking about just regular size

to the power rangers, but essentially they're...

Three feet taller than what an actual height

of a ranger is you're telling me that you're

gonna have time To sit there and look at your

morpher before pressing the button and the actual

activation actually happens I actually counted

out it was like every morphing sequence for the

first ten episodes before they touch the button

It's like five seconds pass in five seconds a

villain would knock you on your ass The morpher

I've never like There have only been a few Morphers

that I really care about. Tommy's Dragonzord

Morpher was kind of cool, specifically his weapon

for the Dragon Dagger. His Morpher in Dino Thunder

is cool, but Morphers for me never really got

me that excited. They're an accessory that makes

the Rangers Morph. That's all it's there for.

I liked Endspace's Morpher. The wrist, you know

three three five three. Yeah, I liked I liked

I liked their their more for all right It was

it was a little big but I liked how how it was.

I really did. Yeah the The titanium morpher I

did like I thought that was great again. It looked

awesome. Yeah, it looked awesome It looked really

super cool again. The problem I have is how long

it takes the guy to press the damn button Uh,

cause in that time you could get your ass knocked

down and, and, you know, lights out. Um, the

battle boosters are just a, an additional rip

off of the in space more for almost because it's

like five, five, six. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It was stupid. Um, I don't know. Besides the

two morphers, I wasn't, I wasn't a fan of any

of their weapons. Not whatsoever, not even not

even a little bit. No, I mean, they just like

the V Lancers looked really cool, but they didn't

really do anything. The rescue bird was so stupid

looking. Yes, yes, it was I think the only weapon

I actually liked was the titanium laser because

it was it was also a gun It was a gun and an

axe. I mean, it's kind of going back to light

speed where you had that light speed shit This

is light speed. It's going back to Lost Galaxy

where you had The Magnet Defender had an axe

or a sword and a gun. So I like that whole two

weapons in one thing. Yeah the mega battle armor

no just no which one which one was that is that

where they had the giant suit Mega battle armor

designed by Miss Fairweather and her brother

Clark activated by entering eight six one into

the battle booster the mega battle armor equips

the Green Ranger with a buzz saw. Oh, yeah That

was terrible. Yeah, that was kind of silly the

rescue Rover the humvee of the series I liked

it. I like I mean, I thought that was kind of

cool. Yeah, I mean, okay This is what you're

talking about here though your boy What's his

name? Lycara? Lincara? Lincara, yeah. Lincara

talks about how you have a visor over your face

for protection. Right. But yet they drive around

in a Humvee with no doors, no top. You know,

it's like. You know, I don't want to bring up,

you know, the past here, but did they see the

assassination of Kennedy where it was just like,

you know what I mean? He was just they didn't

have no top and boom, done. It could have been

easy as that. I can't believe you just compared

the assassination of President Kennedy to Power

Rangers. Hey, Carter was a pretty good guy. Oh

my god. The light speed cycles and the trans

armor cycle are both... I've never liked motorcycles

in Power Rangers. I just never have. They love

putting those in there. I know they love putting

them in there. I just never liked it. No, they're

lame. Super lame. yeah and the final one is the

mobile armor vehicle which is essentially uh

carter's uh plane um which is kind of dumb the

it's not quite as dumb as the trans armor cycle

though because uh fair our fairweather built

this bike and he's like i can't i can't do it

it's not ready i can't do it it's not ready and

it kept knocking him off it's like you gotta

go through all that trouble for that find something

different Yeah, that's like I prefer Leo's big

-feeted Battlizer in Lost Galaxy to the trans

armor cycle Yeah, I like that in Lost Galaxy.

It wasn't too bad just cuz it was different.

It was like a giant Boulder, you know instead

of oh, well look a dirt bike great. Yeah All

right, so getting into the zords, oh my god,

there are so many zords in this series Now I

know, I know you do not like vehicle Zords, but

it does not make sense for a military operation

to have animal Zords. I agree. And I like some

of these Zords. Maybe I'm just getting used to

some of the Zords, but the train, what is it,

the super train Megazord absolutely looked amazing.

Loved it. But my favorite by far was the life

force Megazord. I wish they would have saved

that more towards the end but I I Liked I liked

how I was like, I don't know they could have

made a bigger deal out of You know if we use

our life force to power this Megazord, you know

Maybe we'll have enough but it was kind of like

that's how I was from the get -go It's like up

use your life force. You know what? I mean that

they just could have done a little bit more with

that. I Wish they never even had the life Force

Megazord like I like the design of the thing

but the fact that time Haven't we learned or

I mean, I know, you know, this is an entirely

separate series but haven't we learned our lesson

in Power Rangers history when the life force

is of the person is tied to your you know power

coin or Murph morpher or whatever you're going

to die if If the life that's what I never understood

about the life force mega zord is if it's taking

energy from them Essentially, they should pass

out inside that zord. Sorry That's and that's

what i'm talking about. Uh, mike is like It's

it's they use this You know for no good reason

when they could have saved it, you know, it's

like that's what i'm saying Like it's such a

big deal that it's sucking them dry But that's

what they would go to That's what they would

go to To to do it. You know what I mean? Like,

you know, they're they're willing to sacrifice

their lives their powers to destroy this final

villain But instead they just used it, you know

three -fourths of the way through and then it

got destroyed actually it was it was ran by the

Battlings for a while, which was just idiotic

Well, no actually then that all happened at the

end. I mean they it was like the last three episodes

of the series That's what I'm saying though,

but that still they took it over which was stupid,

right? And I agree with you, because first of

all, the Battlings are not alive. It would make

no sense that they could run that Zord. I could

see if the Battlings took over the Super Train,

or if they took over the Omega Megazord, or if

they took over the Rail Rescues, or something

like that. But the Life Force Megazord is supposed

to be from the Power Rangers Life Force. Right.

And there was also an episode where the Battlings

took over some people's vehicles. And I was like,

stop. These people are like goons. These are

idiots. And you're going to tell me that they

know how to drive vehicles? Cut that out. Oh

my god. You know, I love this series overall,

but just some of the stuff just makes you want

to go, huh? Yeah. So I think without any more

further ado, we're gonna head over to Spada and

see what he has to say about the Sentai series,

Go! Go! 5. Hello everyone, and this is Spada

the Bolt Matrix, and today we are talking about

Go! Go! 5. QQ Sentai Go! Go! 5 is the 23rd entry

into the long -running Super Sentai series. Airing

from February 21, 1999 to February 6, 2000, it

proved to be an extremely popular show among

older fans due to its much darker tone. Also,

this was the first Super Sentai series in a while

to be ported over to the US, with pretty much

the entire story left largely intact. The Grand

Witch Grenadine has been waiting patiently to

invade our reality. She set up her invasion date

to coincide with the planetary Grand Cross, but

during the event, GoGo5 interrupted her ritual

and she became trapped halfway between the realities.

Having failed, she ordered her four children

to gather all the negative energy from humanity

in order to complete the ritual and allow her

to fully enter our reality. Ten years prior to

the Grand Cross, Dr. Mondo Tatsumi, founder of

the Tatsumi Disaster Prevention Institute, predicted

this event. But nobody believed him. In order

to protect humanity, Dr. Tatsumi left his family

and went into hiding so he could secretly develop

the rescue system. Dr. Tatsumi then reappears

in 1999 and gives his children the means to save

the world as the Go -Go Five. Dr. Tatsumi's children

are all members of the Capital City Fire Department,

but each works in a different section. Gogo Red

is part of the Rescue Division, Blue works in

the Chemistry Division, Green is a member of

the Aviation Department, Yellow is a Sergeant

in the Capital City Police Department, and Pink

is a paramedic at the National Seaside Hospital.

It's interesting to note how this lines up with

just about all the members of Lightspeed Rescue,

save for Yellow, which is nowhere near the same.

The team's equipment, arsenal and mecha were

all ported over to the American edition save

for the team's jackets while un -morphed. Those

jackets were bright orange and were made from

all -weather jackets. It really should be pointed

out that in Japan the color of orange is used

to denote rescue vehicles and their operators.

Also the morphing sequence is completely different

but was used in Power Rangers sometimes. It pretty

much just shows them clad in their neon colors

and then they wave a flag over their head and

that's about it. Another major difference between

the two shows was the lack of a sixth ranger

in GoGo 5. The Titanium Ranger didn't exist in

Japan. The only thing resembling a sixth member

appeared in GoGo 5 The Movie, named Demon Hunter

Sig. He was the last of a people who were wiped

out by the movie's villain, and he wanted revenge.

So of course he was killed within the first half

hour, and transferred his powers to one of the

side characters from the show. The villains themselves

in Gogo V were much more interesting. They acted

more like a family, and they had squabbles like

real brothers and sisters would, but ultimately

they all loved each other a great deal. The only

human -like villain was the evil Princess Deonus.

She's also called Venus. It depends on which

part of Japan you're in, depending on the dialect.

We know her character as Vipera from late speed

rescue while the costumes were exactly the same

the major difference between Danus and Vipera

was that the actress playing Danus was actually

a capable performer and pulled off the role of

a much more cruel and psychotic individual Danus

was by far the cruelest of the siblings. Being

gifted in the art of disguise, she would often

use that ability to cause havoc and obtain information.

She was also the only one of the siblings to

specifically target friends and family of the

rangers in order to lure them out and hurt them,

instead of just attacking the rangers in a silver

dune buggy. Another difference is that she sacrificed

herself near the end of the series so that her

older brother could be reborn. That's a lot different

than in Lightspeed Rescue when she was pretty

much eaten by the main villainous. GoGo 5 was

very well received by older fans, but younger

fans had trouble getting into the show. That

was due in part to the show having a much more

somber tone than Sentai's of recent years. The

series dealt with such issues as abandonment,

abuse, sacrifice, family arguments, and even

the death of children. The show really pulled

no punches, and fans loved it, specifically the

older fans. Now, GoGo 5 was a long -running series

of about 51 episodes plus the movie, and it really

did well for Japan, and it also ported well over

to the U .S. with some sweet tweaks into Lightspeed

Rescue. So I have been Spada the bolt matrix

you can find me over at YouTube at www .youtube

.com slash bolt matrix and look me up at Twitter

at twitter .com slash bolt matrix now back to

the command center Thank you kind sir Spada.

I mean I'm on this show and that's still my favorite

part of the show, you know I it and when Spada

talks it It points me in the direction. Do I

need to go watch this? Series and Spada was talking

about how dark this series was and how how it

wasn't really a kids series It was more of an

adult series and how adults absolutely? Love

the series and which is confusing to me because

I just can't see how dark Rescue 911 can be so

to be honest. I'll probably go back and and watch

this Sentai version Yeah, but Spade is the man.

I love it. I love it when he does those Yep When

he emailed me the clip he said I'm already working

on time force. I was like, okay cool Because

time force is the next season. Yeah, I can't

wait. I'm actually extremely excited I've actually

watched three episodes of time force already

cuz I got done with this about But I what I wanted

I text you three four or five days ago Yeah,

and I was at the gym and I was like, you know

just one episode and then one episode turned

into two episodes and I'm like It's this is gonna

be awesome Yeah, Time Force is awesome. I remember

watching that on TV, but we'll get into that

next month. Yeah, we don't want to ruin it. Do

you have any favorite episodes from Lightspeed?

Let's see. Let me look down here. Cyborg Rangers

is probably I really did like that. I like that

kind of stuff. The Rhyne's destinies were obviously

good. I could really do without the curse of

the Cobras. Let's see As time runs out was good,

yeah Those are the only ones that really Stick

out to me. Yeah, I Liked operation light speed

because it is the origin and I liked how they

how they all came together and i like how in

this one compared to other series that they directly

say the rescue zords because they're like we've

never operated this stuff before we don't know

how this works and miss fairweather specifically

said they will aid you as you go along so it's

kind of like a built -in instruction manual so

i like that with this series because it's something

that we haven't had yet because it's one of those

things where every other series It takes about

five minutes for each Ranger to learn their entire

Zord Yeah, that's that goes hand -in -hand with

all of their stuff. This is yeah, you know I

didn't even think of that but yes, that is a

very very very good point because normally they

know how to use their gun and their sword and

Most time they're morpher and their zords right

out of the gate. And yeah now that you say that,

you know, yeah, that's all Yeah, I definitely

agree. That was that was awesome. But yes light

speed up our operational ice be was amazing I

liked, let's see, I liked Olympias Unbound. Just

because it's characterization for Chad, I did

like Neptune's Daughter. I like all the different

character episodes that they gave each Ranger.

Like, oh god, what's the one with Kelsey? I just

had it here. The Fifth Crystal. The Fifth Crystal.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, the one character episode that

I thought basically took away from this person's

character was in the limelight. Dana was never,

like that was episode 36. There was three, there

was four episodes left in the series. Dana up

to that point never showed interest in being

a model. That was taking her character backwards

in my opinion. I got to be honest. Watch Neptune's

daughter web war started watching the limelight

then realized that They're not gonna do anything

with this yet, and I shut it off about 10 minutes,

and I was like this is stupid This is god -awful,

so I didn't even watch it so I I click on rise

of the super demons you know and And go from

there, and I'm like you know do I need to go

back and watch this and apparently I did not

because the entire episode was trash It was it's

probably the worst episode out of the entire

series Yeah, well I like web war to web war was

fun. Yeah, it's spiders. I don't like Oh my thing

The fate of light speed two -parter to close

the series was great. I thought that was a really

There are moments in that as we mentioned earlier

with jinx er and the battlings taking over the

life force Megazord that just don't make any

sense, but the fact that it almost reminded me

of the end of Alien Rangers where you have Rito

and Goldar and all those guys coming in to destroy

the command center. Fate of Lightspeed kind of

reminded me of that because you have this giant

Megazord that the villains have taken over destroying

the Aqua base. Yeah, I will say this, I didn't

like that. Diabolico Came out of nowhere and

was a ghost to save the day. I Thought this thought

was kind of a cheap way out, you know They could

have done a lot of stuff and and you know, they

didn't have me on the end of my seat I was like,

oh man, you know what, you know, what are they

gonna do? What is gonna happen here? What's gonna

happen? And so like oh look at this. He's a ghost

and he saved the day I don't really like that

Moving on to the music of the series. What did

you think of the theme song this time around?

This is what I'm gonna start doing the first

time I hear the theme song I'm gonna write it

down and And what I think and then as the season

goes, you know the first time I heard it. I thought

not too bad Right now I again put it on my iPod

and I really like it. It really gets me it gets

me going It's not a zeo or a mighty morphine

song But it still is good. I don't, I don't mind

it whatsoever. Yeah. I thought it was really

great. I thought it was a great, it didn't necessarily

have to tell the story of these five Rangers

or six Rangers, but it basically tells you the

story of, Hey, this is an operation. This is

light speed rescue, and this is the power Rangers.

Um, and I thought that was great. They really

only There was music in the background like for

certain battles and stuff, but there really wasn't

a lot of music in this series. Not that I noticed,

I'm sure there is music in here, but I mean half

the time it's the instrumental version of the

theme song where it kind of just pops up whenever

the Rangers pop up. Kind of I kind of like that

how they do that, you know, the theme song is

like your go -to song So it's like, you know

when you hear that theme song, you kind of get

the chills. You're kind of like, oh here we go

You know, it's it's it's game time. It's time.

You know, it's something something's gonna happen

now You know what I mean? And I'm glad I'm glad

that they They do that. I'm glad they save it,

you know for that. Yeah Let's see Dude, did you

do you have any or are you planning on getting

any light speed toys? You know what? It's funny

you say that because I actually looked up the

titanium morpher today And there's like two on

eBay and they are god -awful prices and it's

definitely not that cool of a morpher to to Morphers

are like antiques dude. Yeah longer. They're

out the more they're worth. Oh, yeah. Yeah crazy

like man. It's crazy like unless it's just a

Unless it's just trash. It's it's there. They

just go for and golly amounts of money Yeah,

but but I probably I mean, I don't know I liked

the train Megazord super train Yeah, but not

I don't think enough to buy it. Yeah, if I'm

at if I'm at a toy show Someone's got a good

deal on it. It's complete. I'll absolutely pick

it up, but I'm not gonna pay eBay prices plus

So we are back, and before we close out the show,

We've got some more feedback from Chaotix12345

from the PC and Boards. Lightspeed Rescue lacked

strong villains and was pretty basic story. It

did give us our only PR exclusive Rangers though,

Titanium Ranger for the win. In fact, his arc

is easily the best part of the season. This season's

team up is a weak sauce and focuses more on a

little girl than an actual returning Rangers.

I totally agree. I remember that now. Yeah. Yeah,

Trekkina's revenge sucked. So thank you, Chaotix,

for that. Next week, next Wednesday, Scotty and

I will be sitting down with none other than Mr.

Adam Park himself, Johnny Young Bosch. We will

be talking to Adam, the original, not the original,

but the second Black Ranger from Mighty Morphin

Power Rangers, and then he went on to be the

Green Ranger and whatever other color. He's the

guy that didn't want to be the frog. And that's

what they'll always be known as to me Frog Yeah,

I just wanted to point something out real quick

before we get before we get done. Yeah that episode

that the the secretary lady that The little girl

was talking to oh, yeah She says out loud We

all know there's no thing. There's no such thing

as monsters Look, I love sports and I watch a

ton of sports And if it's not usually on ESPN,

I don't know. I don't know about it. You know,

unless I get to work and somebody's like, Hey,

did you hear about this? You know, I don't know

what's going on in the world besides sports.

I think I would probably know that a lot of cities

have been torn apart by giant monsters. Like

unless this lady just woke up from a coma that

she went into when she was like six weeks old,

get real. Cause that was terrible. Yeah, it was.

We all know there's no such thing as monsters.

Listen, you clearly are Amish and don't have

a television or a radio because it's on there

every single day. I know. It's so bad. So, there

you go. This episode, as always, will hopefully

be up on the 11th of March, and the interview

will be up as soon as I get it edited, as, again,

we're not recording that until next week, so

that'll be awesome to talk with Mr. Johnny Young
