0:00.0	Another one is the Joneses at 27 now. New porcelain paving. Looks like Taralis Nordic. Everyone's going Nordic these days. Is the same fella doing it again? Ooh, dark bath. He's using Darkbath. Seek a jointing compound. Betty's got a trade account at you, son. Terralis porcelain paving from £22 per square metre and seek a fast-fits jointing compound at 2999 each. Plus, get 10%
0:22.7	off if you buy two tubs. All trade prices XVAT at 20%. So now you can keep up with the Joneses.
0:28.8	And the Evanses. Hello and welcome to Geek History Lesson. I am Ashley Victoria Robinson,
0:35.7	a comic book writer from Canada. And this is geek
0:39.0	history lesson, the podcast where we take one character, one construct, or one superpowered family
0:44.3	from pop culture, and teach you everything you need to know about it in about an hour. And today is a
0:50.0	massive celebration, my friends. We are going to present you with one of our patented mega
0:57.0	episodes. We break into the history of episodes pass on one topic. And today we're talking

1:56.3	Absolute Flash stars Wally West, the best Flash, if you asked me, and I know you did, my dear friend,
2:02.6	who's listening to this podcast right now. And it is a reimagining of his origin story. And what it
2:08.8	does is it strips away one of our favorite constructs, The Flash family. So Jason and I are
2:15.1	bringing it back to celebrate everyone who makes The Flash as cool as possible in this mega episode.
2:21.8	So take it away my speedy speedsters, past Jason and past Ashley.
2:27.1	His name is Barry Allen, and he's the fastest man alive.
