MikeGallagher

I. I abhor the cult of personality that surrounds some of them and I realize that it is nothing they adopted but have to deal with. I'm sure just like me each one of them have some personality trait I dont care for and I actually enjoy the show more when

All that being said and I hate dipping my toe in these waters, the sudden re- appearnce of all the "old-timers" for lack of a better word unitentinally gives the appearnce of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.

I fully admit that it probably is not an intentional thing but a happy side-effect of Mike being gone. There just seems to be an undercurrent of all is better, look at all these guys who are back now that Mike is gone. They are back for whatever reason and I do not know any of them to even really make that connection but as a guy with no friendships or Facebook connections within this community, I just feel like people are dancing on Mike's grave un-intentionally or not. If he's off the show, he's off the show. I felt the same absence when Peter left, a Geek who I had much more in common with comic-wise than any of them. C'est La Vie. I did not feel entitled to know why he left and Mike's sin is not my business.

I just felt like saying it feels pretty sh**ty and makes the separation that tougher to swallow. I miss you Mike and while I will still listen to the show and enjoy every Geek on the show and the forum members, I wanted to put my pointless voice to this temptest in a teapot. Good Luck!

Wasn't there a story about Deemer trying to get a job at Marvel?

He applied for this job like everyone else. It was not a, "I'm a podcaster, give me the job!" moment at all. Although I'm sure it was on his résumé, because it is relevant experience.

Actually I was invited, no application necessary.

He meant Bryan applying to Marvel just like anyone else.

CGS theater presents: a few good podcast hosts

Murd:  "Deemer, did you order the Code Red on Gallagher?"
Jamie D: "You don't have to answer that question!"
Deemer: " I'll answer the question!"
Deemer: Murd, You want answers?
Murd: "I think I'm entitled to."
Deemer: "You want answers?"
Murd: "I want the truth!"
Deemer: "You can't handle the truth!"
[pauses]

Deemer: Murd, we live in a world that has podcasts, and those podcasts have to be hosted by geeks with comics. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Pants? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Gallagher, and you curse CGS. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Gallagher's firing, while tragic, probably increased sponsorships. And my appearances, while infrequent and rare to you, increases downloads. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on the forum, you want me on this podcast, you need me on this podcast. We use words like floppy, trade paperback, Hardcover. We use these words as the backbone of a podcast spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very podcast that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a microphone, and start your own podcast. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Murd: "Did you order the Code Red?"
Deemer: I did the job I...
Murd: "Did you order the Code Red?"
Deemer: "You're GD right I did!"

I'm thinking pretty much every Tom Cruise movie would be improved if Murd was put in place of Tom.

So...what I'm hearing is...

@bats00 wants to see Murd sliding around in his socks and underwear wearing dark sunglasses...anybody else hearing that?

Hey! I resemble that remark!!
