Welcome back everybody to The Incomparable.

I'm your host, Jason Snell.

And here we go.

We're going to talk about, you know, back in the early days of the incomparable, what we often did was talk about really broad, broad topics.

And then over the years, we've realized we need to focus in a little bit because there's a lot of episodes. You can't stay broad forever. You've got to get

detailed. But it's a little bit of a throwback in this one because we're going to be talking

about the X-Men. And you ask yourself, what do you mean, Jason? Do you mean the X-Men, the graphic novel from the 80s or, or the, you know,

else wanted to join, so it was not a meme. To be fair, it was like the year 2000. Mims weren't really

quite across the internet yet. I just tried to make the other thing, though, and nobody would join me and saying, oh, he's a very powerful mutant. But I...

That's right. Well, you know, who else is a powerful mutant? It's Merlin Man. Hi, Merlin.
