Oh, and Andy is still really sad about Purdue.2019-04-021h 45

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsAndy is a FeministYou know, here at The M6P, we never really know what we will end up talking about. We have a plan, but sometimes it just goes a little askew, if you know what I mean. What we didn't know going into this episode is that Andy would come out completely enlightened and with a proper understanding of females now. That's right. This documentary (ahem...movie)--right, this movie about equal rights--(No. No no. It was a movie about a super hero.) Sure. This movie about super women was just what he needed to understand the plight of all...2019-03-191h 21

Cleveland and Beyond with Andy and Jarid027 - ESPN's Seth Wickersham Talks Browns DysfunctionESPN sportswriter Seth Wickersham joins Andy and Jarid to talk about his latest eye-opening exposé regarding Jimmy Haslem's tenure as owner of the team.

Cleveland and Beyond with Andy and Jarid008 - Why Browns, Why?, Cavs Look Rough at HomeThe Browns looked dead in the first half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They finally came to life in the second half, but it wasn't enough. Now Andy and Jarid ask, why trade Carlos Hyde within the conference, why haven't the Browns brought in any WRs, and why is Hue Jackson still the head coach of this team? The pair also take a quick look at what appears to be the beginning of a long season for the Cavaliers. Oh, and Purdue pulled off a big upset against OSU. Jarid wasn't surprised, and Andy is happy about Boilermakers' win.2018-10-231h 14

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsFresh StartNow? Now, Andy? Now you are appreciating Dan Slott's Spider-Man? He's got one issue left until Nick Spencer jumps on the book. (Well, you know what they say, "They cut down all the trees and they constructed a bunch of parking spaces.") That is not what they say at all. I'm dumbfounded at how idiotic that statement was. (Hahahaha! You called yourself dumb!) No I didn't, I said I was dumbfounded. Why in the world would you start to enjoy Slott's run on Spider-Man now that he will be leaving the book after these past 10 years? (Do you really want...2018-06-251h 23

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsCrypto CatchupDon't get me wrong--I love doing the podcast. Oh, it's great. But sometimes...just sometimes...our personal lives get in the way. Kids, jobs, sickness, bitcoin, they all force us to take up valuable comic talk time to discuss our friendship and lives. Ridiculous, I know. I tell Jarid all the time, "Listen, I hate you. I am not interested in how much money you are making with that crypto-currency scam or how amazing your hair looks or how ripped your tan muscles are." And you know what? He gets it. He tells me, "Listen, Andy, I hate you. I'm...2018-01-2450 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsAndy HomecomingI'm going to break character for just a second and let everyone know how wonderful it is to try to catch up on so many wonderful comics. I think this time it's been great because I'm not reading by week, but rather by title. I'm gathering up all the issues of--let's say Spider-Man--and going through them all at once. That then gets me interested in what's going on with Spider-Gwen. (It does?) Well, no, but there was a tie-in there. (So you just lied? You lied to the face of our listeners...our fans...our brothers and sisters?) I think...2017-07-1753 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsOld Man AndyDo you all remember how Andy was so vehemently against the Old Man Logan storyline by Mark Millar? Do you remember the venom that he spat at that story for years now? "How could it be in continuity?" he said. "It doesn't make any sense," he said. Well now, we see that he is nothing but a no-good two-faced turncoat. That's right! "Oh, I hate that story and it's bad and don't take my continuity from me!" What a bunch of bull-o-knee! He must not have meant any of it. How could he? How could he have hated the comic...2017-03-1831 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsJarid Does the VoiceThere is a voice deep inside all of us that comes out at the most fantastic times. These are times when we long for that perfect opportunity to laugh and cry with our friends. This is the voice that we wish we had when people ask us how strong we are or how much we care. The voice may be different for everyone. It may be that deep dark secret that we keep with us when we pretend we are proposing to that special someone (Tina Turner, of course!) It could also be that voice that chills us in the...2016-08-0229 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe 2015 M6P Comic AwardsEvery year it's the same thing. Blah blah blah...the Oscars. Are they white? Are they black? Did enough women win? Will the guy with the funny nose fall and straighten that nose out finally? Will I laugh and cry? Is there really a category for the best costume design for a supporting actress in a foreign documentary? (If there isn't, there tootin' should be!) But now is the time to really look back at the year in Marvel comics. To reflect on the good, the bad, and the late. Who will win? Will it be your favorite? (Dern tootin...2016-01-212h 38

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Most Uninteresting AvengersHidey Ho, kiddos! It's time again for everyone to gather round and let Grandpa Jarid regail you with stories of grand old yore. He will tell you tales of the X-Men all the way back from 1992! That's right, last century! That's right, too!!! Last millennium!!! Oh, no! Don't sit on his lap, you'll break the poor old man's thigh bones. No, let go of his hand. His skin isn't quite as elastic as it used to be, children. No, no no....NO!!! Stop it!! Good gravy! You can't just stomp on someone's foot, Kevin! Let go of his wig! Guys...2015-09-181h 57

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsA Big Squooshy ContainerI feel like a lot of these descriptions that (Jarid) writes are very misleading as to what the actual episode is about. Let me be clear, although the title of today's episode refers to a large and somewhat hostile environment, the actual audio is still contained only in silicon, other metals, and the vast watery vapory thing we call 'the Cloud.' And it's lucky for you that this is the absolute truth, because I can't think of a better description for what we talk about. But enough allusions to the warmth and comfort of the fetal position. This episode...2015-08-012h 24

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsSecret Wars Round UpIt's no secret: the war is upon us. That's right, and what do we have to show for it? Surprisingly, a lot of good/mediocre/bad stuff. (Well, maybe it isn't that much of a surprise, BUT you will be surprised that Jarid and I actually AGREE on some of this nonsense.) That's right, you heard it hear first that there is no secret and no surprise. Old Man Logan is better with Bendis! Maybe that should be a tagline...right? Here--here, try it. "Avengers--Now better with Bendis!" See it works. (Okay, let me try it. AHEM. "X-Men--Now better with...2015-06-171h 25

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsGem City Comic ConLet's be serious for once, okay? So we went to the amazing Gem City Comic Con at the Nutter Center in Fairborn/Dayton, Ohio. We did a panel in the Berry Room. (I know, I know...the Nutter Center, the Berry room. I had the same reaction. This wasn't a hiking trip with all the fruit and nuts...even though Jarid did eat a ton of 'bars' as he calls them!) We interviewed the gregarious Greg Land, the amazing Arlen Schumer, the killer Kyle Hotz, and the generous Jay Leisten (I know generous doesn't start with a 'j', okay?) We...2015-03-311h 17

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsRaboom Doom DOOM!So now we all know. Yep, we all know that Doctor Doom is Rabum Alal. This is big news...I'm told. Bigger news than other things like the white knights, the black swans, the black priests, the Ivory Coast, the Savory Treats, the Who, and Peter, Paul and Mary. Bigger than all of them combined it seems. But how does all this fit into the new Marvel landscape? Will the 616 and the 1610 really jive together? Will the Last Days of all our favorite and fabulous friends really be their 'last days?' Will we ever see the Sentry again? What...2015-03-181h 54

Where did this all come from? YOU WILL KNOW!! YOU WILL FIND OUT!!! The meaning that is in the M6P awards and what it all means and where it all is smooshed up against the wall. That s right! You will walk away from this stage holding high your Marvey, as we like to call them. Yep, the Marvel 616 Politics awards show arguably the best awards show on the planet .who...2015-01-162h 16

The M6P: Marvel 616 Politics75th AnniversaryYou can't imagine how often I sit back and fall into my comfortable day dreams about what could have been. Oh, if only I had made this choice instead of that. If Jarid had approached me about the podcast instead of the other way around. If I had Jarid's X-Men knowledge instead of my own skill of survival and astro-physics. Where would I be? As I sit and wonder, my dreams and aspirations always collide into one single thought. Andy taking up the mantle of Jarid. That's right! Much like the likeable and iconic Falcon naturally taking the role of...2014-11-202h 35

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsSalvage Andy KirbySoooooo...I always come on here every time we put an episode out and just write whatever comes to mind and then try to link it to the show somehow. This little excerpt of my life truly is a glimpse into all that I hold dear as a person. This is my creative outlet, my ongoing work of nonfiction...my Mona Lisa, if you will. And that's why things are going to change around here. Yep! Things...they are a-changin'. Yes, sir! A brand new day! I day of pondering and reflecting. A day of showing my true self to...2014-09-102h 05

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Real Jarid MayoWe often times idolize those that we look up to. But sometimes when we really get to know that person, we see that they are just a regular guy...or a average Joe...the CHILD-HATING MONSTER that we didn't know that we idolized. It's TRUE, I HEARD THE WHOLE THING!!!! One (if not both) of our hosts totally don't like kids and would rather live a long self-fulfilling life full of other people's children. What will we do with all this free time? Isn't it obvious? CUDDLE!!!!! That's right! We will CUDDLE while listening to Tina and doing the (patent-pending...2014-08-202h 12

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsTaking Notes in our PajamasJarid and I talk often about our physical health, and why shouldn't we? It's good to be healthy. But it's not good to be obsessed about your weight. I mean, it's just a number, right? It doesn't really mean anything. When I'm sitting there watching X-Men Days of Future Past slurping up a gallon of health smoothy filled with sherbet and yogurt and peanut butter and natural non-fat sweetener why in the world would I need to watch my weight? Well, I'm here to tell you that as I sat and watched that end-credit scene of those poor, smoothy-starved slaves...2014-06-102h 20

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsAndy's Fail!There comes a time in almost everyone's life where we just have to stop pretending. We always seem to put on our best socks and smile to meet that special someone's parents...but that doesn't change how smelly our feet and unsightly our dead tooth really is. Well, today, you will witness one of those times. It's not a flattering time for our co-host Andy. In fact it is shameful. To the point where Jarid apologizes for how badly Andy performed on this episode. I don't want to totally spoil it for you, yet the sweet sweet victory that Jarid...2014-04-271h 48

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsLive and DeliriousSeriously, just skip this episode. I don't even know why we're putting it out. Jarid is forcing me to do this. The guy's a taskmaster...not the cool one that just bit it in Secret Avengers...before the reboot. No, not that one. Jarid is the kind of guy that forces his best friend to drive 14 hours from Louisiana to Ohio and then forces him to drive another 11 hours to and from Chicago, quizzing him about Spider-Man lore all along the way, just to get in front of a camera to tell a little bit about how Spider-Man has touched...2014-04-0258 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsMs. Marvel #1 SuckedHonesty is very underrated in today's society. It is something that here at M6P we value beyond all else (even if it is spewing overt hatred and pretentious right-wing blather)! I mean, just look at Jarid--the man is a walking incarnate of Nicolae Ceau?escu. (Is that bad that I'm using an example I know nothing about except that one time he was mentioned on Seinfeld when he was dating the gymnast? No telling. But I digress.) "Honesty." That's a word I like to throw around when I want to spout off my opinion inappropriately. I think that I...2014-03-032h 02

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsWe Don't Agree...On AnythingJarid and I have reached a point in our "on-again, off-again" relationship where we are comfortable saying that we are two different people. We are not co-dependent on each other. We don't need each others' approval. We have an open and honest relationship. No one needs to have to must to agree on anything. In fact, we basically dispise each other's being to the root of our inner soul. But...we're fine with that. We may disagree here and there about silly things like the new uniforms, whether Scott was right in irradicating the scum that was Professor X from...2013-11-271h 50

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsBunnies and the Backstreet BoysWell, it's no secret that Jarid loves Tina Turner, but did you know that this cat loves the Backstreet Boys as well? Well...that's not totally true. Okay, okay...he doesn't like the Backstreet Boys at all. He can't stand them. He hates them. He loathes them. Wait...that's not true either? Now I'm just confused. Does Jarid like the BB's (that's what he calls them) or not? Oh...OH! He loves his wife! Is that why he uses that magic marker every night to draw on Kevin's mustache? Now it's coming together. Now it's illuminated. Now it makes sense...2013-08-132h 02

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsHenry Pym's Christmas in JulyWho are we to judge? I mean, truly! I'm not judgmental of Jarid's annoying habit of flossing while he is putting in his contacts. He doesn't judge me when I practice my duck calls exclusively performed by my crelbows and knee-pits. We don't jump down anyone's throat that actually is enjoying the Captain Marvel series. So, I ask you...how can we judge Hank Pym's life choices? He continuously makes it abundantly clear that invention and re-invention is the path for him! Who are we to say otherwise? If he wants to make a life choice about not creating more...2013-07-021h 57

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsIron Man 3 and the Freezer BurnNot to spoil anything for you...but Jarid seems like he's losing it over the new Iron Man movie. I'm not sure what his deal is. It seemed fine to me. There was no CGI fire that was there and then wasn't and then was there and then wasn't. There was no preachy mutie stuff (such harsh slang for are fine mutant friends). There wasn't terrible characterization of the White Queen...I mean, maybe some other characters...just maybe!!!!! But then he's never a cheerful guy. I mean, he once ate a whole 5 pounds of bacon to prove to me...2013-06-071h 54

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsMake Me Feel Fat and OldSo, here we are just recording another show and Jarid feels like he's got to get his digs in. Sure I'm 30 and sure I may be a tad overweight at a solid 400 pounds...but does he have to let the listeners know? My take is that he could have been a lot more subtle. I mean, "ain't nobody got time for dat!" I don't make fun of his inability to grow facial or back hair. I don't mock him for his irrational fear of jelly.

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsHacha! We're Back!I don't believe it! I don't. I refuse. I mean, Jarid thinks that the Body Politic likes him better than me. This is totally unnacceptable. He's the jerk. Not me. And then he starts making fun of me because I'm losing my voice? Then he calls me Jerry Seinfeld (or however you spell that yahoo's name). Well, I won't stand for it. I'm better than that guy! I've read this week's books: Avengers, New Avengers, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Force, X-Force and Cable, Avengers Arena, etc. etc. etc. Just tune in and see for yourself. This guy's...2013-03-202h 05

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsA Year in ReviewCan you believe it?!?! We wrapped up another fantastic, amazing, superior, astounding year here at Marvel 616 Politics. AND...we didn't kill each other. Even after Jarid pulled his usual shenanigans this episode with his NINE Tina Awards. OH YES!! You CAN believe your eyes. Jarid, that jerk, picked 9 Tina Awards for our TWO issues that we reviewed. So tune in and listen to our voicemails, our take on Amazing Spider-Man #700 and Superior Spider-Man #1, as well as hearing our 2012 Year in Review!!

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsM6P Welcomes the WivesYou may find it interesting that Jackie sounds a lot like Andy. You may find it interesting that Jennifer sounds a lot like Jarid. But I think what you will find most interesting is that these two goddesses of the earth put up with these two dopes to any and all degrees. We've got pigs, toothbrush fiascos, action figures, and toy stores. Too much money on comics, not enough time in love. How do they do it? Well, tune in to find out how these lovely gals take on their hubbies in a special anniversary episode of Marvel 616 Politics! We...2012-10-271h 36

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThis is Jarid's Show #2That's right everyone. I know in the episode that I said that Jarid was going to be writing this synopsis...but since he's at the old J. O. B., I thought I'd take a break and do him a flavor. That's right. A FLAVOR. WHAT!?!? I said it, and I'm not apologizing for it. I mean, we got only a few months of the world left before that despicable feathered serpent comes back and I will not be branded an aristocrat for the short time I have left. And if talking like a "R and B" musician/artist is what...2012-09-112h 07

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsGwem JIt gets easier and easier to prepare for these shows. How? Well, we just don't. Well...that's not really true. I mean we send each other a txt file with some ideas and Jarid usually says, "okay, boss." But what he really means is, "if that's what you really want to talk about...not that I'm complaining; I just think it's stupid to pick those topics. I mean they don't have anything to do with the X-Men or Tina Turner or my J-O-B or anything that I would remotely be interested in. And why do you constantly pick 'good' stories...2012-07-302h 10

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsAs the Frozen Yogurt MeltsYES!! We FINALLY get to answer the question of Professor X's frozen yogurt stand and what his best-selling flavors are. YOU'RE WELCOME! As well as doing an "Ask Andy" session followed by 4 stellar reviews of our favorite comics of this past week. (Let's be honest here: Jarid hates everything Andy likes. That's really all there is to it? I mean, you know it; I know it. Everyone knows it. That guy ticks me off so much!!!! He makes me Hulk Out!...well....not really...just rulk really bad.) Anyway, we are sponsored by DCBService.com and their sister site, InStockTrades...2012-06-081h 22

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsAvengers Movie and AvX LoveIt's that time of year again! What time, you ask? Well it's that time that the EVENTS start and the summer blockbusters are busting my block! And well...that's pretty much all we talk about here on our show this issue. The Avengers movie and how much we want to jazzercise to the movie, how Jarid basically directed it, and how we disagree on the length of AvX and what it should be compared to how doggone long it is! And of course this amazing, fantabulous episode is brought to you by the letters: D, C, B, and S (for...2012-05-232h 03

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe McVicker of EntendresThere's nothing more embarrassing than dropping your sandwich down a pile of stairs covered with snail trails of slime and then being forced to eat that sandwich while only in your underwear in front of a crowd of politicians. And that's why we are bringing you the very best of AvX commentary this episode. Wait--what?!? Oh, and be sure to catch a glimpse of Jarid and Andy singing their favorite Tina's a la a cappella. And until next time: Make yours Marvel 616 Politics! (brought to you by DCBService.com!!)2012-04-222h 05

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsRole Play FiascoI truly don't understand why everything is so hard? Why is it so difficult to find good help? Why can't we just do the show and make the fans happy and talk about comics and have a blasty blast? Well, I'll tell you why! Because we don't always get along. Now I know that's hard to believe. Andy and Jarid seem like bestesty chums, but underneath that amiable facade, we sometimes get selfish and obtuse and sometimes....just sometimes....downright unruly. Hard to believe, I know. Yet, don't hold it against us. Because, frankly, if you leave us, we won't...2012-02-201h 51

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsIt's Jarid's ShowIn a twisted turn of events, we actually HAVE a show! Come join our merry band of two as we review fan-requested "Scarlet Spider" and "Carnage" as well as make our predictions on who would win what in this Avengers vs X-Men mini-diet-half portion-event that Marvel's doing.

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsLet's ReviewSure this may be ambitious of us. And, yeah, we may encounter technical difficulties, disgruntled interns, and in -fighting but, heck, we think it s worth it. This episode we predict the future of Marvel s 2012 year, if we remember to. We also do a summary of EVERY TITLE RELEASED IN NOVEMBER (to Jarid s dismay). What could be more fun? Join us .OR DIE!!! Make yours Marvel 616 Politics!2011-12-171h 40

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Burden of ChildrenOff to a rough start perhaps, but nothing a little glue and stitches can't mend. Of course there is that pestering baby that won't shut up. Gah!!! Kids are just a drag aren't they? But enough with the uncool talk of the funk. Let's get our comics on! But...but why is Jarid talking like that? Oh right, the Jersey accent. I don't get it. If he wanted to talk with an accent, why woudldn't he just do a M6P Role Play and get it over with? Why's the guy gotta be like that? Jerk! This issue we discuss...2011-10-011h 44

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsWe're Back in the SaddleAfter Jarid off filming his debut movie The Avengers, perhaps you've heard of it...and Andy being back after....well, I guess that guy was just lazing out. I suppose he really didn't go anywhere at all. Sad really. But as we come back, we hit all the major issues that have come out since our last ish: - X-Men #15.1 - X-Men Schism #2 - X-Men Schism #3 - Fear Itself #5 - Daredevil #1 - Secret Avengers #15 (READ IT!!!) - Uncanny X-Men #542 -Amazing Spider-Man #666 - Punisher #1 - Ghost Rider #1 WHEW!!! That's a TON...and also we still give out our Tina Awards. Admittedly...2011-08-281h 48

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThings Are Looking UpOver the countless hours that we have given to Marvel, we often feel like we deserve some sort of compensation. Do we want blood and treasure? No...nooooo. Keep your bloody treasure away from my face and hands. All we really want is good stories. (Now if they're bloody, we can't help that. We just read them.) But as of late, we feel that Marvel is listening, and listening GOOD! Did you see Schism #1? I mean, come on!!! How can you beat that. There wasn't a single retcon in the whole issue, that I know of. And that Cap. WOW...2011-07-181h 57

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe X-Men FiascoWhy does it always have to be about me? Is it my fault that I talk a lot, or have a lot to say? And yet, Jarid doesn't think so...what's that guy's deal anyway? Oh don't drink during the show...oh don't eat your ramen...oh you don't like your ice cream...oh you need to go drown in an ocean of ice cream... Anyway, join us for issue 32 where we discuss the in's and out's of X-Men First Class, the Uncanny relaunch, and Fear Itself #3. We also argue about water and swimming as well as other mundane and...2011-06-241h 57

The M6P: Marvel 616 Politics(Not) Drinking and Podcastingow I don't know about you, but when Jarid starts hounding me about the 'ol demon drink, I get a little defensive. See here, I'm no boy scout Captain America, but I'm no Tony Stark neither. So can't we just leave the topic and move on to comics? Or are we going to have a Schism here? (You see what I did there? Uh huh! That's right. I'm THAT good!) Regardless of your, mine, and his alcoholistical tendencies, the lords of the Body Politic jump into the X-Men full force. What's going on? Where have they come from and where...2011-06-021h 46

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsJourney into Tie-InsI don't know what was up with this past week's comics, but they were a stretch...to say the least. A stretch for us...to tell you...that they actually relate to the AMAZINGLY AWESOME event Fear Itself. So this issue we talk Invincible Iron Man #503 and how (half of) it really relates to Fear Itself. Then we go into Journey into Mystery #622 to find out how exactly Loki and his evil big self, Loki, fit into the Fear Itself. I mean...he's Asgardian...Skadi is Asgardian. They are obviously lovers that were separated at birth then transmigrated into a...2011-04-301h 36

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsDo You Want to Do This Podcast AloneThank goodness for our sponsorship (Discount Comic Book Service, DCBService.com) because without their 40% off regular issues I think we would have called it quits this go round. I just mean, PLEASE, that Jarid guy is soooo stubborn with his smug little responses to my Tina guesses, and the way he talks about how he could write Age of X way better, and how he doesn't have to take a shower because he wakes up smelling clean. GRRR!!! It makes me so angry! So I am giving Fear Itself a chance...So I like the concept behind Onslaught Unleashed...So...2011-04-081h 54

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Top 5!Have you ever wondered who would be the best leader of the X-Men? Have you ever wondered what the worst X-Men stories are? Have you ever...Have you ever? Well you can stop your wondering. That's right! Now Jarid and Andy come at you full force (well, maybe not full force because it's late, and I'm tired and I just may not care anymore...)--like I was saying: FULL FORCE. Coming at you with our Top 5! Sure there are 10 of them...so Top 10 Top 5! This could get a little hairy, but we are all over it. Of course with the...2011-03-212h 05

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe 616 Christmas BluesIt was a cold day that Andy's mouth swelled up...and an even colder day when Jarid's heater went out....mwuahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! But let's be serious for one second. My heart goes out to the guy...well, not that much (because he makes fun of me ALL THE TIME). But in this show, I got the last laugh. I finally beat Jarid Mayo at his own game: The Tina Awards. That's right. Oh, he'll deny me that quarter point I earned in the very beginning, but his deceit can only take him so far. His uppins will come. Mark my words...2011-01-171h 48

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsM6P Hits the Big TimeVoicemails, Top 5's and the Hobgoblin...you can't get this anywhere else. Well, I guess that's not really true. Because, let's face it: we have another website or iTunes...or even Facebook. But enough with the shameless plugging. This episode we talk about the new Venom series and who will wear the chocolate eating, adrenaline sucking monster! We also discuss next year's villains to watch for and the possible scenarios in which they would TAKE OVER THE WORLD. Furthermore, this brand new and improved episode features the voice stylings of Jarid Mayo (not on the phone but in REAL LIFE...2010-12-131h 54

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsI'm an Interesting CharacterSo, Jarid doesn't like the Young Allies. Whatever, no big deal. Right? It's not a problem, per se..in general..I guess. WAIT!!! No! Jarid is wrong. I can't help it if the guy is in love with Mystique or knows every name to every Cuckoo quin, but I won't stand by and have him bad mouthing Arana and Nomad and Gravity and all those other heroes that I can't remember their names. (I care--what? Don't judge.) Alright, everyone needs to just calm down. We have bigger fish to fry: Chaos War for one. And I'll be derned if my...2010-10-201h 55

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Lions and Dr. LambEpisode 021 - I'm sure we can all understand that miscommunications just happen and why wouldn't they when you are talking to a macho, sarcastic, sexist superhero? Wait, you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about Dr. Doom and his Vibranium fixation, or Daredevil and the heartless killing of our favorite Dark Avenger (no, not Sentry) Bullseye. I'm not even talking about that drunk womanizing miscreant that parades around in his super-dee-duper armor which he's naked underneath, don't know if you knew that or not. I'm talking about the misunderstanding that Jarid is cool and not just one more comic nerd fixated...2010-08-231h 59

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsX-Men...mehEpisode 020 - As Andy goes off into lala land about the metaphors of Spider-Man and how he can't sleep unless he figures out the most intricate details of Spidey's mythos and the people who tell us, Jarid seeps into a lull of doldrums madness. The" X-Men meh," he says. Gischler can bite it (get it tee hee) over his new vampire-twilight X-Men run. Sure X-Men #1 didn't blow up Jarid's skirt, but there's always Shadowland. OH wait. Jarid doesn't like THAT EITHER!! Well another miserable show of grumbling and complaining. WHAT!! Naaahhh. That's insane. Andy is a fun-loving, lovable, squeezable guy...2010-07-231h 31

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe (Speculatory) Death of KaineEpisode 019 - Ah yes, Kaine. We knew him well. Wait, no we didn't. Who said that? Who said we knew him well? I didn't know him well at all. And who said he died? I didn't. If anyone should perish it should be that Arana chick. I don't know why that bozo Andy is so on fire for these hip young superheroes. The ones that are caring a new generation to glory and wonder my generation. I can't fathom the ineptitude of the mentally challenged lunatic that likes the new Spider-Family better than the old. And what's the point of...2010-07-071h 39

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsBastion - He Lives in YouEpisode 016 - There comes a time in every super hero's life where they need to fish or cut bait. Crap or get off the pot. Put their money where there mouth is. Practice what you preach. Turn or burn. Believe or deny. I--I think I'm getting off track here. The question then boils down do you believe in Hope or don't you? Would you give your life for the life of the Savior of Mutanity? Sure, we all feel this way. I know I'd give my sixth two on my left foot and my fourth eye and even smision (that's...2010-05-031h 05

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsScams and the Fall of AsgardEpisode 014 (pt1) - It's a sad, sad day when Andy has to threaten the very life of Tina Turner. But, alas, that day has come. Through malice and anger and strife, Andy has laid down the proverbial gauntlet and invited the star of our show (Tina, not Jarid) into Thunderdome. Two men enter....you get the idea. Unfortunately Andy is a bit too chicken to take on the Titaness in all her resurrected glory and so he has tapped the stupendous Storm to take her to task. (I'm really trying with the alliterations, guys.) Anyway...join us as we discuss...2010-03-231h 19

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsRaw Clips with AndyEpisode 013.5 - Raw Clips with Andy: I will be brutally honest: After our battle over the Tea Party Captain America episode, Jarid and I were just not into being friends anymore. The rest of the show felt forced and convoluted. We tried to resolve our differences, and we tried to stand each other but I just couldn't take that smug son of a gun any longer. So, as we cool off in our own corners we'll throw the extras, left overs, clips, etc., to you whilst you still care about our opinions. (Remember us as you listen through our gnashed...2010-03-0810 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Boise Tea PartyNews Flash! Special Report! And all that jazz Alright, Jarid and I have had our disagreements in the past, sure, but this time that liberal commie has gone too FAR!! Oh, wait I'm the liberal, you say? Regardless, join us this episode as we delve into the media firestorm that is Captain America #602. Is the Tea Party racist? Are they too angry? Is Marvel a den for liberal media? Is the term Tea Bagger offensive? This is where the rubber meets the road and tempers begin to flare. Eh, let's not kid ourselves. We're all friends in the Comic Book...2010-02-2653 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Siege of the SentryJoin us and the Body Politic as we reach further down into the depths of Jarid's true hate of the Sentry and all he stands for no, what? I'm not jaded I'm just a little *sniff* I got something in my eye. No, it's true. Jarid hates the Sentry with a passion, but that doesn't stop us from following his CRAZY antics in Siege issues 1 and 2. Will Osborn survive? What will finally unite all the heroes? What will make the Dark Reign crumble and usher in the new Heroic Age that Marvel is keeping from us?2010-02-141h 15

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsThe Retconning of H(R)ulkSomeone just had to do it. Somebody just HAD to burst our bubble. Someone had to make Red Hulk fit into 616 continuity so tightly that it would now be impossible for us to untangle ourselves. But let's face it, we knew it was coming. You'd be kidding yourself if you thought that Marvel was just going to let Jeph Loeb do his own thing without at least trying to reconcile it to the rest of the Marvel U. And that someone is Jeff Parker. Jeph, Jeff I think I see where this is going now "The FAll of the Jepfs"...2010-01-2855 min

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsBe PositiveAlright, I'm telling you right now. You need to be positive about this episode. Just as Jarid and I are trying to be positive about arguably the worst things about the 616, so too should you give this a chance. Join us as we have a Q and A session concerning some of the most awesomest corners of the Marvel U. Everything from Slott's Mighty Avengers to Mark Millar's flights of fancy.

Yes, the sad truth is that Dark Reign is coming to a close soon, but there is a Silver Lining: The List is FINALLY OVER!! Now we can all do away with the mediocrity of event tie-ins and concentrate on conquering our event fatigue. Hold on, let me get a Gatorade. Whew! Thank you, electrolytes!!! This episode brings you controversy and riots over the satisfaction of The List, the art of Necrosha, and the promise of the DoomWar. Finally that good-for-nothing so-and-so will get what's coming to him! Also, we all learn a lesson...2009-12-101h 44

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsMystique Brings Out the Tigra in AndySometimes it's just good practice to take a minute, sit back, and take stock in what you've been blessed with. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, what better time than now to examine exactly how blessed we all are that we aren't married, engaged, or even dating shape-shifting mercenaries, weather goddesses, or even furry tiger-tailed bikini-clad heroes? (Not to say, these things are bad I mean, it's okay if that's who you are, right? Eh? Whatever.) My point should be obvious, there's a lot going on in the 616 right now that brings the terror yet piques the interest. Tales...2009-12-031h 38

Since this is our long week and the next episode will come out sometime next week, we've decided to throw you some scraps, eh um "clips" of our last episode. We can see a little bit more of what Jarid's about and how his life and feelings of Tina have changed over the years. Now we know that you will be disappointed that it isn't LONGER, BIGGER, BETTER, and with more EXPLOSIONS but that's just a gimmick. OH...2009-10-2611 min

A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the sign post up ahead, your next stop Spider-Man: Brand New Day!" That's right! The Body Politic is traveling to another dimension. Yes, the 616 is still our destination, but it's not what we remember. Will we recapture the awe, the experience, the nostalgia? Or will we create new, more vivid memories of times that have not happened but apparently should have? Either way, Jarid and Andy discuss the new status quo...2009-10-161h 43

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsGiant Size Old Man JARIIID MAYOOO!! #1Complain, complain, complain. Sometimes it's just good to get it out in the open. But, to be fair, you should always try to find the silver lining. I mean, if the Wolverine title is no longer in continuity then maybe it will be good as a "What If" book. Sure Incredible Hercules isn't really on issue number 135, but at least it only focuses on Herc every other issue. And yeah, the List isn't all its cracked up to be, but at least the stories have the common thread of Norman in them, even if everyone else is out of character...2009-10-061h 33

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsMickey Takes New YorkDisney buys the House of Ideas, but is this really the coup of the century? Jarid and Andy discuss the possible pros and cons of the acquisition as well as "getting back" to basics with the New Avengers and the lip-licking fun of X-Force 18. We also discuss the multiple threads of the 616 spanning the Core, to the X-Men and on to the Cosmic front and how it all fits together. All this and Jarid's forgiveness of Ike lead us to our five Tina's for the week. Do you agree or disagree with our choices. Let us know! Excelsior 2009-09-181h 58

The M6P: Marvel 616 PoliticsIntro to 616PoliticsSure this is random, and sure the conversation may not flow exactly; but what do you expect? This is an intro. Today you will be introduced to Jarid and Andy. Two friends from college that just both love them some Marvel comics. We invite you to download, listen, and participate. Let's be honest we're gonna do this anyway, so you may as well listen in. And if you have something to say, let us know. Until next time!2009-08-081h 13
