| 0:00.0 | Tom versus the Flash number 181 or I spent way too much time thinking about this bucket problem. |
| 0:08.8 | Welcome back to the Flash number 181, the August 1968 issue entitled The Attack of the Samarroids, written by Frank Robbins, penciled by Ross Andrew, inked by Mike Esposito, edited by Julie Schwartz, |
| 0:22.4 | featuring a cover by Ross Andrew and Mike Esposito. |
| 0:26.2 | We start off this issue where we left last. |
| 0:28.7 | Barry, the Flash, is that a castle filled with android samurai? |
| 0:34.8 | Samuroids? |
| 0:35.7 | He's found out that he's in a lot of trouble. |
