When I was younger, Aliens invaded, and I was alone, and I was terrified, but then I saw you fighting Aliens with a stick and a string.

That's how you jump from that building even though you can't fly, even though you don't have superpowers.

And I thought, if they could do that, then I didn't have to be scared.

You showed me that being a hero isn't just for people who can fly or shoot lasers out of their hands, it's for anyone who is brave enough to do what's right no matter the cost.

I'm ready.

Greetings, and welcome into the Ringerverse, here on the Ringer Podcast Network.

I'm Larry Rubin, and it is my absolute pleasure to invite you not only to Rockfeller Center,

but to join us on the Ringer's Nexus Podcast feed for all things fandom joining me today.

Now that she's finished shrinking down more track suits for Rocky the Owls evening snack, much to Steve's delight, it is my house of our

Rocky title.

Go host.

Ringer senior staff writer Joanna Robinson Joe, hello partner.

Oh, howdy partner.

Oh, my goodness.

Joanna, a few programming reminders before we dive into the robust and very full podcast quiver here today.

The holidays are here, but the Ringerverse is not going anywhere.

Not only are we here with you today, folks, to talk about the Hawkeye season finale.

We did such a long podcast that we're putting it out in two parts.

We're here today with our finale analysis and a wonderful interview that Joanna will tell you about right now.
