This is Comic Geekspeak, episode 577, Comic Talk.

Welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm Brian Deamer.

I'm Adam Murdo.

I'm Brian Christman.

I'm Jamie D.

And welcome to the show.

We're back from New York Comic-Con.

It's all over.

We're in the studio, and I'm exhausted.

I literally was nearly falling asleep at work today because I was that tired.

Time you had to be in.

Yeah, because I know what time you got home.

Yeah, I have to get up at 545, so it was a short night's sleep.

And I have to give a massive, massive props to Mird for sticking around and helping me help my brother load up his truck.

Originally, I thought, you know, we stick around for like an hour, an hour and a half

and just help them get a few things going, but it ended up, they really needed our help the

entire time. They would not have been able to take their booth apart by themselves.

By the deadline they had.

Right. They had it all taken down by 1130, or they would have had to stay another day, which would have been expensive and had a hassle, and they might not have been able to make it to work. Right, yeah. And the booth that they have was really nice looking, but elaborate, so it needed a lot of breaking down. And we were told that, well, Brian was telling me that they're not allowed to use tools because of union restrictions and they had to be surreptitious about that Really? Yeah. Oh, you're not even a screwdriver. Carpenter's union is all about that. You can't, no screwdriver, no hammer, nothing. Wow. Of course, their thing requires both screwdrivers and hammers, so you have to be very sneaky.

So four pairs of hands were needed to get everything squared away.

So I appreciate that, Mert, and my brother appreciates that, so.

Happy to help.
