Episode Notes Rivers Cumo once said "I wanna go back, back to the shack, back to the Strat with the lightning strap" and we echo that message back going back to our roots for a 1000th story celebration about the stories the occurred at both the birth of the podcast and the birth of us. Rivers Cumo also once said "Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table" and thought that was a good enough song lyric to put on his best record so maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Episode Notes When TV shows cared about Nielsen ratings, ad rates would be set based on how well a show performed during a very specific portion of the year called "Sweeps Week". To goose the system, shows would bring out all the stops with big episodes, guest stars, all of that. We honor that tradition as the road to 1000 stories comes to a close with Cerebro host Connor Goldsmith joining us to talk about Polaris.

Episode Notes This episode is all about Gambit. Why? I mean, that's quite the important question. Friedrich Nietzsche said "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." Of course, Nietzsche also said "The Superman is the meaning of the earth." and I remember just enough about that time he had blue electricity powers to use that as evidence to disagree with Nietzsche. So we must again ask why? And it all comes down to the truth that Adam and Zack will sell an hour of their lives for $5. As Nietzsche also said "The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us.ā So the value of making us read bad turn of the century Gambit comics isn't really $5, it's an hour of enjoying the suffering of two dudes. And hey, Nietzsche also said "to live is to suffer" so ipso facto, this episode is all about Gambit so that we suffer. Thanks.
