In what promises to be an annual tradition, Chris and Murd recently made their second guest appearance on the Back to the Bins podcast, to while away a few hours discussing a trio of vintage back issues with hosts Paul Spataro and Bill Robinson. Emerging from the Bins this time are two landmark DC/Vertigo offerings of yesteryear... and one pretty good issue of Secret Defenders. (2:10:28)

0:28.1

happy now that you guys were on Skype and we can yes have a much clearer conversation absolutely

0:33.9

the problem is there's just not enough hours in the day yeah but if but if But if I could have a comic shop to go to after I finish my day's work, I don't think my kids would ever see me. Yeah, well, that's why I have a manager now because in the old days, before I had kids, I went there every day, but that's not possible now. So, you know, maybe someday the store actually makes real money. And then I can spend more time there.

0:55.2

But, you know, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,

Now, the question is, I'm in with a group of guys. I'm a big baseball fan. Yeah. And I'm in with a group of guys who are getting a

1:27.6

full season ticket for the Mets. And it's possible. I only end up with six games out of a full season. So it's not really that big a deal. But they're going to split up the tickets. And it's possible that I'm actually going to have the game on May 2nd, in which case I'll hit free comic book day near here and then go straight to city field from there.

1:46.4

That makes sense.

1:47.9

But on the other hand, if I don't have the MET game, then I have a little bit more time because I think you're about like an hour and change from me. So it's not, you know, I can't just do it at the drop of a hat, but it's managed. Where do you live again?

2:17.3

Nassau County in Long Island. Okay. Yeah, it's at least that, yeah. Well, I'll be there on that day, and we're having a huge event. So if you can, please join us.
