Welcome into the Ringiverse. This is of course the Ringers Nexus Podcast feed for all things fandom. We are Steve, the architect, Alman, the builder and tinker of things. Jomi, the explainer, a dineron. You've got questions, he's got answers. Old Man Van, he of the receding resurgent hairline. And sitting in today. Chris Cr Ryan, the Prince of the Ringer. Together we are known as I Midnight Boys. We'll be right back after this. Chris, that was a good pew pew. Thanks, brother. I was wondering. I was wondering if you're gonna get involved. If I was
gonna do anything, look, I'm a I'm glad it's the the nexus of fandom because I'm a fan of you guys. Wow. And uh I'm curious why I got drafted to fill in for Chuck this week. You guys wanna answer?
First name on the board. First name on the board. Absolutely. Yeah.
100%. I mean, you know what's happening at the company, right? You know what's happening. All right. So follow us on the socials. At the Midnight Pope Squad on Insta and TikTok. Uh at Ringiverse on Insta, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok Joey.
I'm actually glad you brought that up because it's a really important conversation that we've been having on this pod for a minute. Um Van came out and said that he deserves to be third chair on the big picture. You did say that, yeah. That's
true. Yeah.
And you all right. Most people would claim that you are the leader in the clubhouse, then it's Tracy Letts and Van is in the mix somewhere.
Van's in the mix.
Mm-hmm. Would you respond to his uh his claim for third chair? For third chairs.
Sooner or later, the third chairs need to talk about whether there's like a different stage for us to be on. You know, why are we? Why are we putting all of our effort into being the third somebody else's pot? I like this. Why aren't we maybe teasing Three three chairs. You know what I mean? Like you, me, Tracy. Three chairs. And then we We actually go at this. The people are looking for a replacement for Come Town. They've been talking about it. Like they want to say that we do that.
But I say we do it even more direct. I say They drop uh a conversation about the movie and then we drop one two hours after. There you go. Exactly. Yeah. Just some Drake Kendrick type shit. That's right. A lot of
subliminals in there.
Yeah. It's like, oh, you know, there's another podcast that called the end of in game uh blue bar. If you're not gonna get that on here, is the big tent.
I think there's room for everybody to hang out and talk about movies. I'll tell you something. Here's the deal.
Why do the hosts debate Van’s claim to the “third chair” and what does it mean for the show’s hierarchy?
This is what I liked
about it. That was
just my James Town.
Calorico. I guess. They come back there like wow. What I liked about it is that you challenge the establishment. Yes. You challenge the establishment, but you also challenge the establishment because you gotta get up to Tracy. Tracy challenged the establishment. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we're on YouTube. Like, comment, subscribe, share. You can watch every Midnight Boys and House of R episode on YouTube.com backslash at Ringiverse and also on Spotify. Programmer remind us. On Monday, House of R continues. There's a their land. Lantern's coverage. Lantern's is being very good to us. It's a gift that keeps on giving over here on the Ringverse. Love have you experienced this on the watch as well? Lovely.
Uh yes. If anything, I think we have undercovered lanterns. Uh a couple of times there have been other shows or events that have forced us to be like, we have 10, 15 minutes for an episode. Yeah. I'll tell you the truth, though. I feel like I'm coming at lanterns from a little bit of a deficit when it comes to my knowledge, my ball knowledge. I'm not a DC guy, right? Like I'm I'm more of like a Marvel dude, if I'm anything. And so my religion. is kind of in in the tenet zone where it's just like don't overthink it, just feel it, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's my guy. It's my guy. So I mean the show makes no fucking sense to you. Well, I'm actually quite happy to be here today because this episode in particular I found very moving and somewhat confusing.
Oh
great. But we'll we'll get into that entire thing.
