Just forget about your troubles and open up your eyes.
When you wear a smile the world will sh.
Hooray.
You gotta turn on the sunshine. You're gonna push the blues away.
[00:01:35] Speaker A: When a space probe returns to Earth after landing on a remote planet, it contains a stowaway energy being. The being leaves the probe and takes over the body of Lois Lane. Then Lois is approached by a woman claiming to be her fairy godmother. Lois is initially skeptical, but. But with her magic wand, Dodie magically uses tricks to get Superman and Lois together. Confused? Don't worry. I'll be right back with doctor Husband to explain everything.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: Come with me to the Cool Cat's corner. Grab yourself a chair.
Come with me to the Cool cat's. Connor. I'll teach you something.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: Fairy tales. Teenage fairy tales. Cool and solid fairy tales. Teenage fairy tale. Isn't you cool cats.
[00:02:30] Speaker B: And hear me well.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: If you're hearing my voice, listener, congratulations. We did not have a nuclear war threatened for T minus two and a half hours.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: What?
[00:02:46] Speaker B: Really?
[00:02:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
Have you been away from the news today?
[00:02:49] Speaker B: No, no, I'm aware of it. I just. I was just reading a New York Times article about it, that's all.
[00:02:54] Speaker A: Yeah, well, New York Times, liberal rag.
How you been? Oh, okay.
[00:03:02] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, yeah. Just getting through.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: Are you prepared to complain about the weather like I am?
[00:03:08] Speaker B: No, I. I was out with Butler for about an hour yesterday for 45 minutes. Doing a nice exercise on the Casino Canal. It was Lovely.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Yesterday is not today.
[00:03:21] Speaker B: Why, what's wrong with today?
[00:03:22] Speaker A: There's a freeze warning.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: We had a freeze warning last night.
[00:03:24] Speaker A: It's the middle of April.
[00:03:26] Speaker B: It's okay. We've been known to have a freak snowstorm in April.
[00:03:29] Speaker A: You don't have to tell me. When I was an undergraduate in college, there was a giant ice storm on April 20th.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Oh my goodness.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: I remember it like it was yesterday.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Do you?
[00:03:38] Speaker A: It practically was because I'm so impossibly young.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: Isn't it beautiful though?
[00:03:45] Speaker A: It is lovely in our park like neighborhood.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: We're so lucky to live here.
[00:03:50] Speaker A: We are with the blooms which are making me ill and the pollen and the.
[00:03:58] Speaker B: Yeah. You've been under the weather all week, haven't you?
[00:04:00] Speaker A: I sure have.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: You got sick. I started on the same Friday of last week.
[00:04:04] Speaker A: Yeah, of course I don't take very good care of myself like you with your exercise and whatnot.
[00:04:10] Speaker B: Well, I also take the allergy medicines, don't I?
[00:04:12] Speaker A: Well, I have so many pills to take in the morning, I just forget about allergies.
[00:04:18] Speaker B: Well, yeah, it's been a lovely week. It's been lovely. Yeah. I'm just a little out of sorts today, so I'm rallying to the cause.
[00:04:25] Speaker A: Well, there's only one thing that can fix that Good old fashioned issue of Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I thought you were gonna say booze, but okay, let's.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: That also.
[00:04:37] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:04:37] Speaker A: You have been experimenting with cocktails.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: I have, haven't I? Yes, Yes. I sent you a rather.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: To the benefit of I sent you
[00:04:45] Speaker B: a rather dark text. I said, well, I really had to choose this expensive habit hobby because boy, have I really done it this time.
Yeah.
[00:04:54] Speaker A: So in the grand scheme of things, yes.
It's not that expensive of a hobby. It's not like collecting comics or action figures.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: No. But what I spent today at the group at the liquor store was about what I would spend on. About if I ate lunch out at work.
Probably what I'd spend on about four weeks worth of dining out. So.
[00:05:18] Speaker A: But you take your lunch every day so it all evens out.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: But I wanted to try this new cocktail called the 100 Year Old Cigar. Yes. And it uses single malt scotch from Scotland. From Scotland.
A dark aged rumor.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: And something else, something I. Something from Italy that I've never had before.
And so. But you know, we don't keep single malt scotch in the house.
[00:05:46] Speaker A: I don't know why not.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: We love it like the most expensive thing you can buy.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Bargain brands.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: Oh, well, I couldn't find any in. In the. The barrel bodega. Oh. Which is a very nice liquor store with great prices.
Great prices. But I could not find a. I mean, I was like looking for a $35 bottle of single malt scotch.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: Oh, when I say bargain, I mean like 55 or 60.
[00:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:06:12] Speaker A: Well, you should have called my sister. She was passing through Jacksonville and she went to Total Wines and she asked me special because they have the Speyside single malt that we liked so much from Scotland. You're kidding me.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: Did you ask her to get one?
[00:06:24] Speaker A: Well, no, but maybe she'll have it still when we visit her in a few weeks.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: All right, all right.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: We'll see.
[00:06:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
God, I hadn't thought about that. Don't make me.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: Well, let me tell you something. What if we do have a nuclear war in two and a half hours? You'll be awfully glad you've got that booze laid in.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: If we have a nuclear war in two and a half hours, will we even be here?
[00:06:47] Speaker A: Yeah, because I think the wind goes the other direction from D.C.
we should be fine.
We've got the Mennonites to give us eggs and meat. Oh, we've got the river. Do you still have your.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: It would be just water filter, like our president. To lead us into another world war.
Yeah, it does feel awfully close, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a dark time right now in politics. Yeah, of course.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: We're an apolitical program.
Oh, yeah. No, we're not. I'm absolutely kidding.
[00:07:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:19] Speaker A: Well, if there is a nuclear war, it's been nice knowing everyone.
[00:07:22] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: Thank you for your support over the past eight years.
[00:07:25] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: We'll be back on the other side as soon as the grid is restored.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: That'll be our first sober occupations Releasing another episode.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: Okay, now what about the shock story of the year?
Lois Lane whipping a wooden dummy of Superman. Yes.
While Superman is tied to a table with kryptonite cuffs.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: I had no idea what to expect.
[00:07:59] Speaker A: Well, I didn't either.
It's Superman's girlfriend, lois lane. Number 73.
Superman's fortress has often witnessed strange scenes, but none more bizarre than this one.
Why is the man of Steel shackled with kryptonite chains?
Why is Lois lashing a puppet of the man she loves? A life size puppet, I should add.
How can a wooden figure absorb Superman's awesome powers?
For the spine chilling answers, read the fantastic story of the Dummy and the damsel.
The Dummy and the Damsel. When they are both full grown. Of all the toys in the fortress, the dummy is the. The one that gets bullwhipped.
I didn't. It's just off the top of my head.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
You going to workshop that?
[00:08:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, for sure. I'll have it ready to go next week.
[00:08:56] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: One auspicious day as a strange spacecraft is launched from Earth. Oh, by the way, congratulations to the crew of Artemis 2. Did they.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: Oh, they're on the way back.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Or did they on their way back? They flew farther away from Earth than any other humans in history.
Yes. And they saw more of the backside of the moon than any other humans in history.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Did they see any flying saucers?
[00:09:20] Speaker A: Well, there were actual rumors about that for their launch.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: But nothing official. No official notification.
So this is the first automated space explorer to leave Earth's solar system.
If the remote controlled capsule completes its mission, it will be the greatest scientific breakthrough of the century.
All right, it's leaving the solar system, which takes just months, we read.
No, you couldn't get to Mars in less than six months with today's technology, much less 1967's. Also, can't Superman just fly something outside the solar system? He goes all the time. Or Green Lantern doesn't.
[00:10:15] Speaker B: That sort of shortcut the ingenuity of man?
[00:10:19] Speaker A: Well, yes, which is exactly why Lex Luthor hates Superman.
But, I mean, he's an. He's willing to do stuff like that.
You could save a lot of money. Pull money out of the space program. Probably feed everyone on Earth.
All right, the explorer's remote controlled sensors gather samples of the soil, atmosphere and alien vegetation on this outside.
[00:10:46] Speaker B: Look at that picture of the explorer and what it's doing.
That big gray thing up on the
[00:10:51] Speaker A: top, like a spatula.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: It looks like what we use to clean the cat box.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: It does?
Well, it's going to scoop up a soil sample from this alien world.
But a weird life form is watching some kind of electric energy being whose ancestors built such primitive vehicles. Also before they evolved into pure force forms.
The energy being detects that this explorer capsule is programmed to return back to its home planet.
And this is the chance I've been waiting for. I'll enter the sample storage chamber and return to the craft's homeworld.
And the explorer takes off carrying a payload of doom.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: Is that what you say? Oh, payload of doom. Yes. He's really excited to be released from this dead world where he was trapped. I'm assuming he's alone.
Well, he doesn't really say if he's Alone.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: It doesn't. It just says, long ago my ancestors built such primitive vehicles before we evolved into pure force forms.
[00:12:07] Speaker B: But I guess he can't escape without the use of some sort of mechanical device.
[00:12:12] Speaker A: I guess not.
[00:12:13] Speaker B: You can't fly away, for example.
[00:12:15] Speaker A: Oh, I hear. How glorious to be released from that dead world where I was trapped for many eons.
So it only took months to get to this alien planet. It just takes weeks to get back.
As we read weeks later. Extraordinary at the NASA spaceport, scientific advancements. Now, this is down in Cape Naveral, of course.
The nation's press corps awaits the return of the explorer press corps. You know what that means?
[00:12:42] Speaker B: No.
[00:12:42] Speaker A: Lois Lane and Lana Lang. Probably Iris Allen, too. She's with Picture News, as you recall.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: No.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: Oh, I forgot what to do. Correction corner.
Oh, it's not really a correction, but a listener has told me that my theory about Stan and Olaf and the Blackhawks was correct.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: What? What was your theory?
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Originally, Olaf was the strongman and Stan was the acrobat. And then in.
Wait, I've got the citation. Okay, as soon as I find it.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: Okay, this is driving me nuts. I have to.
I have to go put a cloth over the strings of my guitar that's hanging on the wall. Yes, behind the sound hole. It's resonating with our voices, and I can hear it. Go ahead.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: Okay. According to Chuck, our co host on our sister podcast, Nerd Orchestra, originally Olaf was the strongman and Stanislaus the acrobat. Then In Blackhawk, number 134, March 1959, they switched. No fanfare or explanation. Probably just a drunken goof up by Bob Haney or whoever was writing.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: There we go. Okay, so can you tell the difference now in the room?
No. Oh, you couldn't hear it?
[00:14:10] Speaker A: No. Oh, you're awfully sensitive to guitar.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I could hear. I could hear it over certain frequencies of us speaking, and it would vibrate with the strings and resonate in the body of the guitar, and I was driving me nuts.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: Well, we both have such resonant voices.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Well, we do. And of course, it's now the spring, so the humidity has raised up, has increased in the room, which means I can take the guitars out and put them on the walls again and not keep them in the cases, Right? Yes. Where I have a humidifier in the cases.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: So.
[00:14:36] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: So, of course, Lois is print media. Lon is on television.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: And she says, sorry, Lois.
[00:14:45] Speaker B: Lois has a face for print media.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: Lois has a face like a former in law of mine. And I think you know who I'm referring to.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: All right.
Lana says. Sorry, Lois. My millions of viewers will see a close up of the explorer on TV hours before your story in the Planet hits this streets.
[00:15:06] Speaker B: Look at the puss on Lois's face.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: I know. Well, she hates Lana.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: She's got a witch face right now.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: Well, Lois is bound to determine to scoop Lana recklessly. She slips into a restricted area with her Kodak.
What do we call that camera?
Is it an Instamatic? I don't know. It's got one of those accordion lenses.
[00:15:28] Speaker B: Yeah. It is an instant camera though, right?
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Well, she doesn't want to wait hours. She slipped past the guard. She's going to take a picture now with the instant camera. And Perry will get the story out in an extra two hours.
But at that instant, the energy being stowaway emerges and possesses Lois.
[00:15:50] Speaker B: He looks like the energy being over her shoulder. Looks like a doting Nordic priest.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: Or Jerry Garcia.
[00:15:58] Speaker B: Like a medieval Nordic priest, doesn't he?
[00:16:00] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:16:02] Speaker B: Or Jerry Garcia. Yeah.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: All right. The alien takes control of Lois.
Luckily, Lois's motor and reflex impulses react perfectly and her synapses and ganglions check out.
And now the energy being starts its mission on this world.
[00:16:23] Speaker B: To steal a Jeep. All it ever wanted to do was drive.
[00:16:27] Speaker A: He steals a jeep. He's looking for water.
[00:16:29] Speaker B: Yes,
[00:16:32] Speaker A: she. Well, the creature in Lois's body busts through the guard gate, steals the jeep.
Got to find water. Got to.
Apparently, Lois drives cross country and ends up at Hoover Dam or someplace.
And prepares a chemical catalyst using the flashbulb from Lois's camera.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: Right.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: This is where she looks like my former in law.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. Your former in law in her relaxed state.
[00:17:07] Speaker A: Yes.
Using the flashbulb and a powder puff from Lois's compact and chemicals from the Jeep.
So oil residue, acid from the battery, plus a few drops of coolant.
Then activates the compound with a spark from his force potential.
This sounds like some kind of pyramid scheme, like Tony Rock, doesn't it? Yeah. Yes.
[00:17:41] Speaker B: What was that thing that I went to for a weekend called? Do you remember what it was called? It was a cult.
That cult I went to. Remember that weekend I spent. Remember that weekend I spent in a cult?
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Yes. That was fun, wasn't it?
[00:17:52] Speaker B: It was great.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: I had a great time too. You.
[00:17:55] Speaker B: You didn't go?
[00:17:56] Speaker A: No, I was home alone.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:59] Speaker A: And what's that song they always. It comes up on Facebook every once in a while with the guy and the two girls. And the guy is singing. They're all singing. It's like a Christiany kind of thing.
[00:18:12] Speaker B: I don't know it.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: The improved mind is a way every day and the guy does like a break dance in the middle.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Yes. This wasn't the cult that I went to. No, No. I can't even remember the name of the cult.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: I can't either. But you didn't like it?
[00:18:28] Speaker B: Oh, no. I spent what, one day there?
[00:18:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:31] Speaker B: And didn't come back. And it was. It was a gift from a friend of mine.
Like a self improvement sort of seminar.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: Right.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: And it was so cultish. I went one full day and I was like, no. And then they called me and called me and called me afterward and I was like, no, not interested.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: I want your money.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: And your soul.
Yeah.
All right. So this creature pours this little bit of force potential liquid into the reservoir and it changes the water into some kind of fuel to recharge and strengthen his force power.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: Right.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: But the police have been trailing the stolen Jeep.
So Lois creature takes off straight up a mountain in the Jeep.
[00:19:22] Speaker B: I don't think that seems highly improbable. The angle that she's driving at, it's like 4ft 45. 50 degrees. Yeah.
50 degrees angle. Yeah. Well, she gets up really high in the mountains and she gets altitude sickness.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: Well, yes, the.
[00:19:40] Speaker B: The being possessing her experience.
Because Lois's body is experiencing altitude sickness, which. Where the hell are they?
[00:19:48] Speaker A: Well, are they in Florida? Wait, they were. But it says that she drove cross country.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: That police car chased a stolen Jeep across the country. It said she drove, not cross the country, cross country.
[00:20:03] Speaker A: Well, as you know, there are mountains everywhere.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: The highest point In Florida is Mount Dora.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: Which is approximately 25ft above sea level.
[00:20:15] Speaker A: Well, no, she probably went to like Georgia or North Carolina or someplace with actual mountains.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: This is bullshit. This is. I was. Wait a second.
Spaceport. NASA spaceport.
[00:20:29] Speaker A: Which is in Florida.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: In Florida.
What that bitch do? How far did she drive this jeep?
[00:20:35] Speaker A: It doesn't. We don't know.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: She didn't have any money. Did she stop for gas?
[00:20:39] Speaker A: Where did she go? Well, he probably used force power to energize the.
[00:20:43] Speaker B: Look at the mountains she's at.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: These are snow capped mountains like the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains.
[00:20:49] Speaker B: So she drove.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: She drove two days to get to water.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: How much water did she pass along the way?
[00:20:58] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: I am revived.
I am focused. This is ridiculous. I call bullshit on this.
[00:21:07] Speaker A: Well, I call bullshit on this energy creature getting altitude sickness after he rode a spaceship through space to Earth.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: You didn't she is.
No.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: Oh, maybe.
No. But that doesn't. No, just wait.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: Because he says I'm getting weak. It says I'm getting. You're absolutely right. I call bullshit on both these things.
Well, this is fun.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: All right. Moments later, Lois comes to unaware that her body had been taken over.
And luckily, because they recognize her as an ace reporter from the Daily Planet, the police aren't gonna ask her any more questions.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: Well, she's gonna need to have some coffee at least. She's gonna be so tired. She just drove from Flor Rockies.
[00:21:48] Speaker A: She's gonna need something a little stronger than coffee.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: What? Bourbon, maybe?
[00:21:51] Speaker A: Or she's got that in her purse.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: Sure, like Joan Crawford.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: The police. No, she was a vodka girl.
[00:21:58] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: The police just assumed that she was kidnapped with that Jeep and that the kidnapper abandoned her here on the Planet.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Of course, because a woman wouldn't steal a vehicle. No.
[00:22:06] Speaker A: Not surprised she didn't drive.
All right. And it's all right, little lady. Someone stole this Jeep from the NASA base. He must have taken you as a hostage. You probably fainted from fear. From fear, Dick.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Oh, my.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: What?
[00:22:25] Speaker B: I'm the one who curses in this podcast? Not me.
[00:22:28] Speaker A: Look, we're not anti police. We're just anti man.
[00:22:33] Speaker B: We're anti sexist. If you're just tuning in, listener, we very jokingly make fun of the fact how sexist and misogynistic these comics are all the time. So if you hear. If you hear direct outrage, it's true. If you hear feigned outrage, it's. It's.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: It's true.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: It's true.
[00:22:51] Speaker A: All right, this police, she looks shaky. So they're gonna take her back to Metropolis.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Cause she's dainty. She's a woman right now.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: She remembers now in the Rocky Mountains in her heels. Yes, well, see, the cops do that. What? They couldn't walk through the mountains.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: No. Not drive a stolen Jeep for two days across country and in the Rocky Mountains.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: All right, she does remember that her mind went blank right after she photographed the capsule.
And this energy creature is now going to follow her because he may have use for her later.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: Well, it's gonna take them two days to drive back to Metropolis.
[00:23:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess she's not gonna get that scoop.
Although she does bring the picture back to the newsroom and say, this picture?
Yeah. Where did she go that she's not lost the scoop to Lana.
With Lana's live TV feed, she still thinks she's gonna get this scoop. Our picture will beat every newspaper and TV newscast in town.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: Here's the thing. We're reading this with the knowledge that the NASA spaceport is in Florida. We just have to assume that there is another NASA spaceport. Let's just assume where they know where the air forces.
[00:24:05] Speaker A: Houston or Florida. That's it.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: That's. Well, okay. Houston is also very, very far from the Colorado Rockies.
[00:24:11] Speaker A: But closer than Florida.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: Yes, but there's no. There's no other peaks that would have snow at that time of year. Except maybe in Tennessee, which is still a good day's drive away. And then how far is it to Metropolis? And you're right. How does she still have the scoop? Did Lana Lane get kidnapped too?
[00:24:26] Speaker A: Metropolis is canonically in Delaware
[00:24:32] Speaker B: on the East Coast. Yeah, it's far.
[00:24:33] Speaker A: So the what? The Poconos?
[00:24:35] Speaker B: Maybe we just have to pretend that the space code, the space port is. There is a spaceport in this world. In this Earth.
[00:24:44] Speaker A: Unlike Gotham City.
[00:24:46] Speaker B: Close. Close. Or D.C. to Metropolis.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Philadelphia.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Right.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: A train ride from Philadelphia. From Metropolis.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: A jeep ride.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: Also giant mountains and a dam.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: Yes.
All right.
[00:25:00] Speaker A: Now, Lois has to develop the film from the instant camera.
The energy creature is here as well. He panics because he thinks she may have gotten an image of him.
So he takes control of Clark.
And Clark snatches away the photograph. Give me that. He sees that she did get an image of the creature and no one must know of his presence. Here we learn in a note that Clark's superbody is invulnerable to physical harm but not to a mental takeover.
Then, seizing a cigarette lighter on a nearby desk, Clark sets fire to this picture.
Lois assumes that he's jealous of her scoop.
Clark, what's gotten into you? Why are you burning that photo?
Bah. There was nothing but a blurred image on that film. It was worthless.
[00:25:57] Speaker B: Meanwhile, another drama unfolds as Jimmy Olsen tries to land the flying newsroom on the Planet's roof. The Flying newsroom? Is that the name of the helicopter? Yeah.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Okay, so also, where's he gonna land? Because there's no room on the globe. It's the giant Daily Planet globe.
[00:26:14] Speaker B: It's out of frame.
Well, Jimmy presses his signal watch to
[00:26:19] Speaker A: signal Superman because the controls are frozen.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: Yes, that's why the helicopter crash and possibly die.
[00:26:26] Speaker A: Why doesn't he do the auto rotation technique from helicopters?
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Oh, I can't wait to find out what you think this is.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: I have no idea what it is, but I was there. Was. Was it WTOP in D.C. they were doing a traffic report in the copter. And the copter was crashing like live on the air. And they had to do the auto. They call it auto rotation. I don't know what it is. I guess they just have a hand crank or something to make the rotor go.
[00:26:56] Speaker B: No, they don't. You can't spin it that fast.
[00:26:58] Speaker A: Well, I don't know.
[00:26:59] Speaker B: Maybe they have pedals like. Like Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: Yes.
Someone's gonna write it and tell us. Okay, so auto rotation is.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: Jimmy presses his signal watch. A supersonic call is tuned to Superman's brainwaves. But the alien creature inhabiting his body finds the signals that he's receiving meaningless.
[00:27:19] Speaker A: Well, so do. So say we all, Jimmy.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: Because Jimmy presses that signal watch all the time. Zimmer.
[00:27:24] Speaker A: Zee. Zee.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: Jimmy presses that watch when he can't.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: Superman, we're out of milk in the newsroom. We need some creamer for the coffee. Zeep, zeep, zeep. That piercing sound, where does it come from?
In the next shattering moment, this helicopter crashes. Crashes through the wall of the newsroom.
Yeah, without exploding or causing any deaths. All it does is knock over a desk.
[00:27:57] Speaker B: Oh, and the typewriter.
[00:27:58] Speaker A: And the typewriter.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Oh, and those poor papers are all disheveled.
[00:28:03] Speaker A: Jimmy is trapped in the Whirly Bird. Lois demands that Clark help him.
This creature that's possessing Clark knows he must respond.
And he also learns that the source of the annoying noise is the temporal indicator strapped to the red haired human's limb.
So he deactivates it, slips it off Jimmy's wrist and pockets it.
Jimmy is taken to the hospital, debris is cleared away.
And as if there's nothing else happening in the news.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: No, don't forget that Lois is.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Well, yes, Lois is scooped. She could still write the story.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: Yeah, but she's lost her photograph.
[00:28:49] Speaker A: Well, draw a picture. That's why they have sketch artists.
[00:28:53] Speaker B: So Perry says. Clark, one of our advertisers, is running this beauty contest as a stunt. I promise you judge it. Lois will go along to cover the story.
[00:29:02] Speaker A: I promised you'd judge it.
[00:29:03] Speaker B: You're gonna judge it.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: And I didn't tell you until the very moment that you need to leave to go to the contest.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: Oh, sure. That's what keeps the job interesting.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: It's the Crispo Pretzel Company annual employee beauty contest.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: Sounds great.
[00:29:17] Speaker A: Well, that's. I'm calling hr first of all.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Why?
[00:29:21] Speaker A: You can't have a beauty contest for employees.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: You could in 1966. 1967.
[00:29:27] Speaker A: It's awfully problematic.
[00:29:29] Speaker B: Of course it is.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: The contest finals are at Clifftop Lodge today.
Also, the advertiser first of all, it's the front page of the Daily Planet announcing the Crispo Pretzel Company annual employee beauty contest.
Full page.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: What else going on in the world?
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Drawing of a.
A buxom young lady with a giant question mark for a face.
[00:29:56] Speaker B: Maybe it's the morning edition.
Slow news day.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: Slow news day? A space probe just returned from outside the solar system.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: That was yesterday's news.
[00:30:09] Speaker A: No, it's the same day.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:30:12] Speaker A: Yes. She drove to the Hoover Dam and back to Metropolis on the same day in less than two hours because she was gonna scoop Lana listener.
[00:30:21] Speaker B: He's beginning to sound like me.
[00:30:25] Speaker A: All right, soon on the craggy seashore outside.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: How does that clifftop lodge not fall into the ocean?
[00:30:32] Speaker A: This is like Monterey. Does Monterey have cliffs?
[00:30:38] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
All right.
Well, they're going up to clifftop lodge. Clark, I know you're shy. If those bathing beauties make your head swim, I'll help you pick the winner. Forget it.
[00:30:51] Speaker B: I need no advice from an inferior species. Oh, that's thought. Not that's thought.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: Yeah, no, forget it was out loud, though. Okay, so the competition ends.
The contestants are waiting for Clark's decision.
There's one obviously not going to win.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: Girl, she looks like olive oil.
[00:31:13] Speaker A: Miss Shipping.
Oh, so we have Miss Shipping misreceiving Miss Packaging.
Miss.
I can't read that one. Miss A Miss Pretzel Tie or something. I don't know. Mis. Accounting.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: Misaccounting.
[00:31:30] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Called misappropriations.
[00:31:34] Speaker A: No, that was a good one.
All right. At last, the alien being possessing Clark makes his astounding decision.
He says most of the competitors have symmetrical shapes but this one, Miss Shipping, stands out.
She's probably what Earth people call beautiful.
[00:31:57] Speaker B: He points and says, I choose this one.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: What?
Good for her.
She's got a figure like a 2x4.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: She does.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: And a face for radio just like Sarah Jessica Parker. As Ms. Pretzel is crowned, Lois is astonished. How could Clark pick that plane Jane over those other gorgeous chicks? He's getting wackier than ever. I must get to the bottom of this.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: Oh, that wasn't fair to say. Jessica Parker. I feel badly for that. She's quite a talented young woman.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: Determined to solve the puzzle, Lois invites Clark for a stroll on the beach.
Craggy beach. Cliff.
I wanted to be alone with you, Clark.
Somehow you're different today. So interesting. So attractive. So intriguing.
[00:32:48] Speaker B: She kisses him.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: She kisses him. To his disgust, she simultaneously picks his suit jacket pocket and pulls out Jimmy's signal. Watch.
[00:32:57] Speaker B: Ah. It's Jimmy's signal watch. You stole it? Why? And why did you burn my photo and pick the prune face as a beauty queen?
[00:33:05] Speaker A: Clark, I've never seen you act so strangely. What's gotten into you? Look at her, wagging her finger at him.
[00:33:10] Speaker B: I'm fish wifing him. Isn't she? No, no, no. They're not even married yet. Well, he says. The alien says inside his brain. She suspects I'm trapped. There's only one sure way to end her.
[00:33:18] Speaker A: Ease her suspicions.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: Lois, I'm slipping.
And he goes up and falls off the cliff.
[00:33:22] Speaker A: He toppled over the cliff. Dear heaven. He'll be killed. Clark. Clark.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: I'll abandon this useless body after it shatters to the rocks below. She'll never dream it was possessed by an alien life force.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: But incredibly, at the impact of the fantastic the earthling's body remained intact. Pain symptoms, negative. No shock syndromes.
[00:33:43] Speaker B: This is.
This organism is invulnerable. What's more, I can toss these massive boulders aside as if they were weightless. So I have super strength too.
[00:33:52] Speaker A: There's a costume under these rags.
Uh oh, that piercing signal again. Zee, zee, zee.
I'll locate its source and silence it. Ha, ha. This body has flying power. Too soon. High above, Lois says, superman, Clark just fell from this cliff. I signaled you and. Oh, you have his wet clothes. Then you saved him?
[00:34:19] Speaker B: Yes,
[00:34:22] Speaker A: I took him home and kept his wet clothes with me.
[00:34:28] Speaker B: Oh, I'm so relieved. Please fly me back to the Planet office. I can't wait to tell you all about Clark's strange behavior.
[00:34:34] Speaker A: Very well.
Obviously the alien thinks she doesn't know that Superman and Clark Kent are the same person.
[00:34:39] Speaker B: But as the alien soars upward.
[00:34:43] Speaker A: Superman, you're losing altitude. Falling. What's wrong?
[00:34:47] Speaker B: Well, he thinks to himself, I soared too high. The height is affecting my consciousness. I must leave this superorganism at once. So apparently this effing alien who can jump into spacecraft and fly through the outer space and land on Earth cannot also be in thinner upper atmospheres.
[00:35:06] Speaker A: Well, it must have something to do with the combination of him possessing another body. Because obviously the altitude wouldn't affect Superman. No, and obviously it wouldn't affect the alien by himself if he flew through space. Here comes Kitten Willoughby.
There you are.
[00:35:23] Speaker B: You've been hiding all afternoon.
[00:35:25] Speaker A: He was hiding because we had a workman in the house.
[00:35:27] Speaker B: Yes, the semi annual. Is that what it is? Semi annual.
[00:35:31] Speaker A: Semi annual. H Vac.
[00:35:33] Speaker B: H Vac.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: Checkup.
[00:35:34] Speaker B: Checkup. Yes.
All right.
[00:35:39] Speaker A: Now, Superman says, where am I? Lois Why am I flying with you?
First, I black out and wake up beside a stolen jeep. Next, Clark starts behaving oddly and now you can't remember what you've been doing. It's as though we'd been possessed by demons.
[00:35:55] Speaker B: Oh, what's this all about? Fill me in.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: So he hears Lois story. Superman flies her to the Planet and checks the ashes of the burned film. And his supervision detects the latent image of a weird alien being emerging from the capsule. That's your demon, Lois.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: Right.
[00:36:14] Speaker A: The Metropolis Marvel flies Lois to his arctic fortress of solitude to consult some old Kryptonian. This is where this story went off the rails. Right.
To consult old Kryptonian volumes on ancient magic and demonic demonic possession.
According to this spell, I must first make a life sized puppet of myself.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: What?
[00:36:43] Speaker A: He constructs a table with a buzz and tells Lois that his preparations are complete if the alien takes control of me again. Here's what you must do to drive him out.
[00:36:57] Speaker B: No, he doesn't. He doesn't construct a table with a buzzer. There's a security buzzer that goes off while he's constructed the table.
[00:37:04] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:37:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:37:07] Speaker A: If the alien possesses me again, here's what you must do to drive him out. First, manacle me with those Kryptonite chains on this table.
Meanwhile, the alien has infiltrated the fortress.
Next moment, the unearthly being comes upon a startling scene.
Superman is manacled to the table.
Lois has the puppet chained to the wall and she's whipping it with a
[00:37:38] Speaker B: sound of nine tails.
[00:37:39] Speaker A: Out, out, unclean spirit.
Leave Superman's body quick as a flash.
Enter the puppet. Obey my lash.
All right.
Then he uses supraventriloquism, I guess, to make the puppet talk so that the alien thinks that a demonic creature is being driven into the puppet from Superman's body.
Then another shock.
The puppet springs off the wall with superpowers.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Right? Yes.
[00:38:19] Speaker A: So then the alien being takes control of Superman and instantly senses that Superman's body is weak because it's chained with kryptonite.
[00:38:30] Speaker B: Right.
So he switches out of his body and goes into the.
[00:38:34] Speaker A: The puppet body.
[00:38:35] Speaker B: Dummy body. The puppet body. Yes.
[00:38:38] Speaker A: And then finds that he is not only weak in the puppet body, but also trapped.
After the Kryptonite chains are taken away, Superman explains that the strange being is trapped inside the head of the puppet and it sealed in by a special shielding.
Because suspecting the alien might try to possess his body again, he made up the story about Kryptonian magic and came up with this puppet idea on his own.
Amazingly, then he added two more special effects. Any blow on the puppet's body would
[00:39:26] Speaker B: activate the tape recorder and trigger the automatic action of the super muscles that he built inside the puppet.
[00:39:31] Speaker A: The buzzer warned him. When the creature entered the fortress, the green kryptonite weakened Superman. And believing the puppet had acquired his powers, the force being took it over and was trapped by the metal shielding.
And now he's sending it into the phantom zone.
[00:39:51] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:39:53] Speaker A: But without you, Lois, I couldn't have defeated that menace. We make a great team.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: How true, my darling. And we'll make an even better team someday when we're Mr. And Ms. Mrs. Superman.
[00:40:09] Speaker A: There was a fantastic feature in the 70s and 80s in the pages of Superman family comics which was called Mr. And Mrs. Superman. It was Superman and Lois of Earth 2.
[00:40:23] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:40:25] Speaker A: Who did get married.
And I believe Clark became editor of the daily star because that's the Earth 2 version of the daily planet. And it was a terrific little series drawn by Kurt schaffenberger, who drew this issue.
[00:40:41] Speaker B: Lovely.
[00:40:41] Speaker A: If you're ever interested, I'll dig it out for you.
[00:40:44] Speaker B: Well, that's the end of that story.
[00:40:46] Speaker A: It is.
We better do time machine mailbag right away. Yay. Time machine mailbag. Where we read letters from the past and answer them today. Time machine mailbag. Better late than never is what mother used to say. Dear Dr. Husband. Yes, I am 16 years old, and I am in love with a man who was engaged before.
[00:41:07] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:07] Speaker A: I have been going out with him for three years.
I met him while he was still engaged, and when he broke up with this other girl, I was sure that he would then become engaged to me because he has always said he was very much in love with me. But to my surprise and heartbreak, he became engaged to another girl.
Although I felt that my world had come to an end, I realized that I was still in love with him. More surprisingly, he insists that he is still in love with me and shows it by being extremely jealous Whenever I go out on a date with another fellow.
As you no doubt realize, I am still dating him. My parents are greatly upset by all this, but there is nothing I can do about it because I love him. So can you give me some advice? Signed heartbroken.
[00:41:52] Speaker B: Well, heartbroken.
I think hospitalization is probably the best option for you Simply because this imaginary boyfriend that you have is probably not actually a real human being.
Case in point, here's some evidence for you.
What does Willoughby. Is he covering up his food?
[00:42:15] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: This imaginary Scenario involves you being 13 years old, dating someone who is engaged.
He breaks up with this woman who's engaged and dates you from ages 13 to 16.
You're 16, he gets engaged with someone else and he's still dating you. This is a fever dream.
If this is really, really happening, then you need to lock yourself up inside your trailer and ask yourself some really important questions about what your priorities are.
[00:42:57] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:42:59] Speaker B: Because this sounds like some sort of holler romance, doesn't it?
[00:43:02] Speaker A: It, it's not great. And also, what are the parents doing? She's 16.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: Apparently they're not around or they have other priorities.
[00:43:13] Speaker A: He says they're greatly upset.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: I would be upset too if my 13 year old daughter was engaged to someone, was dating someone and he was engaged and then no, she sure as hell would not leave the house. No, no, no.
Well, alright, yeah, get rid of him. Cast him off. Okay.
Dear Dr. Bob, I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 18. He likes to come over to my house and I love having him. My parents like him too. The trouble is that we never know what to do. We just sit there and watch tv, which incidentally, we both find quite boring. Do you have any suggestions?
Our second problem is that we only see each other on Saturdays and we never know what to do except to go to the same old dance all the time.
He doesn't like skating and he can't bowl. I've offered to teach him, but I'm not very good myself. We both appreciate any suggestions you might have. Tina and John.
[00:44:09] Speaker A: Tina and John, hindsight is 20 20. And so I am offering advice with the benefit of 50 years of hindsight.
The 196667 television schedule was the first season to be broadcast entirely in color on all three networks.
And just look at the things you've got to watch. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Ed Sullivan, the Lucy Show, Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeannie, the Monkees, Daktari, Batman, Lost in Space, Star Trek, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Gummer Pyle, usmc, the Virginian, F Troop, that Girl, My Three Sons, Dragnet, Daniel Boone, Green Hornet, Time Tunnel, Tarzan, man from Uncle, Girl from Uncle, Flipper, Get Smart, Mission Impossible, and of course, Bewitched.
[00:45:14] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:45:15] Speaker A: All broadcast 100% in color.
[00:45:19] Speaker B: Why would she leave the house?
[00:45:20] Speaker A: Thank you, Tina and John. I would date either one of you. Whichever one wants to give up the other, I'm in. And we will sit and watch television 24 hours a day. Well, they didn't broadcast 24 hours a day in those days. But you get the drift.
[00:45:35] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:45:37] Speaker A: Because what are you, 16 and 18 in 1967? You're gonna live a lot of your life without the benefit of home video options. And so you better enjoy those shows. Now, first run whatever you miss. First run you can catch in summer reruns.
[00:45:54] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:45:55] Speaker A: So make yourself some popcorn, Tina or John, get some Coca Cola or Kool Aid and enjoy.
[00:46:07] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:46:09] Speaker A: Dear Dr. Husband. Yes, I am 18 and have been going with a boy for about two years. He tells me he loves me, but I don't believe him. You see, a few months ago, I had to go out of the state for a while and he wrote to me almost every other day. But when I returned, I learned that he was going with another girl.
I asked him to stop seeing this girl, but he said he couldn't quit seeing her even though he was still in love with me. I love him so much it makes me sick every time I see him with this other girl. I want him back, but I don't know how to go about it. Please tell me what to do. Signed, Unhappy.
[00:46:44] Speaker B: Oh, poor Unhappy. You know, I saw a movie about this one time. It's about two men who were wrestling sheep on a mountain and riding horses around, and one couldn't quit the other. And it's very exciting. It's very exciting, huh?
[00:46:59] Speaker A: Sounds just like that one. Yeah, I've seen several like that, actually.
[00:47:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
So you need to let go of this boy. Any boy who says that he loves you and is devoted to you but is also seeing another girl and saying he can't quit seeing her. He's just playing the field, and you need to just move on. Right? Just move on.
[00:47:23] Speaker A: Girl.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: Run, girl, run.
[00:47:26] Speaker A: You know what might help, though?
[00:47:27] Speaker B: What?
[00:47:28] Speaker A: A fairy godmother.
[00:47:29] Speaker B: Oh, yes.
[00:47:30] Speaker A: Like poor Lois. She's tried every trick in the book to become the bride of Superman. And her third finger, left hand, is still bare.
But now she's using a new book, the fairy tale kind. You don't believe in them? Neither did Lois till she saw the magic tricks of Lois Lane's fairy godmother.
[00:47:50] Speaker B: I knew exactly what this was from the very first panel.
[00:47:53] Speaker A: You did?
[00:47:54] Speaker B: I did.
[00:47:55] Speaker A: I'm proud of you.
[00:47:56] Speaker B: I knew immediately who it was one
[00:47:59] Speaker A: day at Metropolis Hospital where Lois works as a volunteer nurse as longtime listeners will remember. She's a volunteer nurse.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: She's a volunteer nurse.
[00:48:07] Speaker A: You see, Nurse Lane, my broken wrist is healed. But is it strong enough to play my guitar when I rejoin my rock and roll group, the Creeps?
Now, Lois has arranged a little surprise for this patient costume and a wig for him. To his creeps costume, apparently. So he can practice his guitar playing and she can do the frug right there in the hospital.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: How many days does one need to be in the hospital for a broken wrist or a sprain wrist? Because it's obviously not broken.
Well, how many days does someone need to be in a hospital for a sprained wrist?
[00:48:48] Speaker A: Or in fact, do they need to be in the hospital at all? Don't they just cast it up in the ER and send you home?
[00:48:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:58] Speaker A: Well, maybe because he's a big rock star, maybe they had to keep him for his own protection.
[00:49:04] Speaker B: Must have. Yes.
[00:49:05] Speaker A: Or maybe he cut his wrist.
That's why it's so strangely bandaged and
[00:49:12] Speaker B: not dark cast at all. Oh, yeah. Wow, that band. Life is hard for the creeps, brother.
[00:49:18] Speaker A: You don't have to tell me.
[00:49:19] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
[00:49:20] Speaker A: I was in a rock band in my youth.
Rough stuff.
[00:49:24] Speaker B: I'm going to see my mouth.
[00:49:26] Speaker A: Please do.
All right. Lois continues her angel of mercy role in the children's ward by reading fairy tales to the sick children who are not having none of it. No, they want a story about Superman.
[00:49:40] Speaker B: They don't want to hear about knights and dragons and old stuff.
[00:49:42] Speaker A: No, we want to hear about Superman.
Sigh. He's my favorite hero, too. I wonder if I'll ever become Mrs. Superman. Well, move to Earth 2. Lois.
[00:49:53] Speaker B: Later, the furtive watcher corners a heroine. There's been a person wrapped in bandages.
[00:49:58] Speaker A: Like negative men. Like negative men only a woman in a wheelchair.
This figure corners Lois.
Lois, a pretty girl like you should be out dating, yet you give up your time to help the sick.
[00:50:14] Speaker B: Wait, she's bandaged. Hold on a second.
[00:50:16] Speaker A: Lois. A pretty girl like you should be
[00:50:19] Speaker B: out dating, yet you give up your time to help the sick. Your generosity should be rewarded.
[00:50:28] Speaker A: Who are you? Lois asks.
[00:50:30] Speaker B: Let me introduce myself. I'm Dodie, your fairy godmother. I knew right away. Right now I was like, I know who this is.
[00:50:37] Speaker A: And speaking of Bewitched, she is drawn to look a little bit like Elizabeth Montgomery.
[00:50:43] Speaker B: Oh, hell, yes. Yes.
[00:50:46] Speaker A: If Elizabeth Montgomery wore a red dress and had a magic wand instead of the face flicking her nose around. But the face is absolutely.
[00:50:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:50:55] Speaker A: The wheelchair patient vanished into thin air and a beautiful girl took her place.
[00:51:01] Speaker B: Then Lois puts on her cranky pants face and says, look, sister, don't kid me. There are no fairy godmothers. Save that silly legend for the kindergarten set.
[00:51:09] Speaker A: Don't scoff at legends. There was truth in the Cinderella Story. I'm your magical protectress.
[00:51:16] Speaker B: Lois, dear, that Cinderella gas is cornier than a can of succotash. What's your gimmick? Succotash?
[00:51:22] Speaker A: Ooh, girl dialogue.
[00:51:23] Speaker B: I could end this in some succotash.
[00:51:25] Speaker A: You could?
[00:51:25] Speaker B: Oh, it's awful. I would? Yes.
[00:51:28] Speaker A: No. Lima bean will never pass my lips. Unless it's in the calico bean casserole.
[00:51:33] Speaker B: Are you kidding me?
[00:51:34] Speaker A: No. I hate lima beans.
[00:51:36] Speaker B: You do not.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: I do.
Mrs. Robinson used to try to make us eat them for dinner, and they just taste like mush.
[00:51:46] Speaker B: They are rather mealy.
[00:51:47] Speaker A: They're very mealy. Now, if you cover them up with enough barbecue sauce and mix them with other beans and bacon, then that's fine.
[00:51:54] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:51:55] Speaker A: But by themselves, no, thank you.
[00:51:57] Speaker B: Was succotash just lima beans and butter, or was it other beans?
[00:52:01] Speaker A: That's why she says it's cornier than a can of succotash.
Although I did make once lima beans and pears, didn't I? For my YouTube cooking channel.
[00:52:14] Speaker B: Yes, you did, didn't you?
[00:52:16] Speaker A: It was awful.
All right.
Now this fairy godmother waves her magic wand and orders it to prepare an ice cream treat the kids can eat.
[00:52:30] Speaker B: That would put those kids in a coma for sure.
[00:52:36] Speaker A: A giant table appears with giant scoops of ice cream, each scoop as big as a child.
[00:52:44] Speaker B: Which they dig into right away.
[00:52:45] Speaker A: Of course they do.
I was going to mention the dialogue is so different from the first story, and they're written by the same person. But Lois, when her sassy diatribes. That wand could put the Good Humor man out of business. I guess your fairy godmother yarn is on the level.
[00:53:07] Speaker B: Of course. I've been keeping an eye on you for years, my dear. Now, goodbye for now. I must plan a special reward for you. You deserve it in your devotion to your patience.
[00:53:17] Speaker A: I just know I'm going to wake up from this wacky pipe dream any moment.
[00:53:21] Speaker B: Well, Lois goes home. She's gripping her head. She's just weary from her day. I guess her hand's shaking as she puts a key into this.
[00:53:27] Speaker A: Cause she's so tired. Or she probably ate too much ice cre.
[00:53:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:53:30] Speaker A: She got the shakes. Children's ward.
[00:53:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:53:33] Speaker A: The door opens by itself. Inside is Dodie, the fairy godmother.
[00:53:37] Speaker B: Of course, I can't eat regular ice cream.
Hardly. I don't usually eat.
[00:53:41] Speaker A: You go right to sleep.
[00:53:42] Speaker B: Go right to sleep.
[00:53:45] Speaker A: Dodie announces that she's planning to stay with Lois for a few days until she finds a way to reward her Lois says I have nothing in the cupboard for supper.
[00:53:54] Speaker B: Get out of here.
[00:53:55] Speaker A: But fairy godmother, of course, just conjures up a beautiful meal.
Everything.
[00:54:01] Speaker B: What's on that table? Chicken.
[00:54:02] Speaker A: Lobster.
[00:54:04] Speaker B: I didn't notice. Lobster, giant. What are those? Peas?
[00:54:07] Speaker A: Roast chicken. Giant peas.
[00:54:10] Speaker B: Giant peas.
[00:54:11] Speaker A: Some brown stuff.
[00:54:12] Speaker B: Let's just assume those are Brussels sprouts.
[00:54:15] Speaker A: Oh, that tracks.
[00:54:16] Speaker B: Yeah, and a couple chafing dishes with something in it.
[00:54:20] Speaker A: And some crepe suzettes.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Oh, there's some rolls on the table, too.
[00:54:23] Speaker A: Everything you need.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Is that asparagus.
[00:54:25] Speaker A: Except wine.
I think that's bread.
[00:54:29] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:54:31] Speaker A: Anyway, then the table is cleared away by magic.
Well, that was fun. Dodie. How about finishing the evening with a game of Scrabble?
Dear me.
[00:54:42] Speaker B: Have you no imagination, child? A pretty girl like you shouldn't be spending her evenings at home.
[00:54:46] Speaker A: Godmother knows best.
[00:54:48] Speaker B: Wand of magic, wave and twirl. Turn Lois into a glamour girl.
[00:54:52] Speaker A: Wowee. A Dior gown, a new hairdo, a chinchilla wrap and a few pounds of jewels.
But what am I dressed up for? My father.
[00:55:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I know where this is going.
[00:55:06] Speaker A: 70s had, I don't know, of a guy he worked with or somehow he knew someone that was raising chinchillas.
And so he had all kinds of like key fobs with chinchilla fur on and little doodads and things.
I don't think anything ever like. Beautiful.
[00:55:28] Speaker B: Have a little raffle. A wrap around a CB hand. His cb probably. Yeah.
[00:55:36] Speaker A: Well, he took me one time to those guy's house where the chinchillas were being raised and. Brother.
[00:55:41] Speaker B: What?
[00:55:42] Speaker A: You've never smelled anything that horrible in your whole life? No.
Oh, and I've been in an active sheep barn.
There's nothing worse than that smell.
[00:55:59] Speaker B: Really? I had no idea.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: Oh, awful.
[00:56:03] Speaker B: Is it like a urine smell?
[00:56:05] Speaker A: It's. I don't. It's indescribable. It's like death.
[00:56:08] Speaker B: Oh, it can't be like that.
[00:56:10] Speaker A: It's bad.
[00:56:10] Speaker B: It's worse than the fields. When they spray the fertilizer on the fields around here.
[00:56:13] Speaker A: That's just fertilizer.
[00:56:15] Speaker B: And. No, that's for. That's like chicken shit, cow shit. Yeah, yeah. Wet. Wet.
[00:56:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:56:21] Speaker A: That's like a bed of roses next to a chinchilla farm.
[00:56:24] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:56:26] Speaker A: Anyway, I don't doubt you.
[00:56:28] Speaker B: I've never. I've just never experienced it before. You ever cleaned out a chicken coop before?
[00:56:32] Speaker A: No, and I never will.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: Oh, gross.
[00:56:34] Speaker A: Don't get any ideas.
All right?
Now, Lois doesn't know why she's all dolled up, but Dodie waves her magic wand and the doorbell rings and it's Superman in a tuxedo and top hat.
[00:56:48] Speaker B: Don't you think the tiara is a little much?
[00:56:50] Speaker A: It's a little much, but.
[00:56:53] Speaker B: Oh, you know what?
[00:56:54] Speaker A: At least she's got a new hairstyle. Which the readers in the letter column have been complaining about.
[00:56:58] Speaker B: Yes, all right.
[00:57:00] Speaker A: It's Superman. Superman. You came to take me out?
[00:57:03] Speaker B: So it seems.
[00:57:04] Speaker A: Dodie disappears, Superman says, what gives? I was lecturing at the Space Institute talking about why I can't just fly things into space instead of having to spend billions of dollars of America's money.
When suddenly I'm here in this getup and you look like you were expecting me. What's behind this, Lois?
[00:57:23] Speaker B: I can't explain it, Superman. I don't dare.
[00:57:26] Speaker A: You can have the flowers and candy, Lois. I must rush to the lecture hall and explain to my listeners this is most embarrassing.
[00:57:34] Speaker B: Goodbye, Superman.
[00:57:36] Speaker A: As the fairy godmother rematerializes, Lois says,
[00:57:39] Speaker B: I was never so embarrassed. Dodie, it was you and your wand that brought Superman here.
[00:57:44] Speaker A: Yes, I've decided to get him for you as a husband.
[00:57:47] Speaker B: But I don't want to win Superman with magic. Either he marries me for love or not at all.
[00:57:51] Speaker A: He will, Lois. You know fairy godmother stories always have happy endings.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: Well, the next day, while covering a story for the Daily Planet Lois meets her friend, TV reporter Lana Lang, in front of me.
[00:58:05] Speaker A: You mean Lana's still wearing the same dress she was wearing in the first story at the space camp?
[00:58:09] Speaker B: Well, I'm sure she cycled it through the cleaners. Look, Lois, Superman just completed the new Metrodome Stadium. He's flying in the glass roof into place. Isn't he magnificent? Wait a second. Superman just completed the new Metrodome Stadium. So he can build buildings, but he can't help with the space program, right?
[00:58:30] Speaker A: I mean, good for him. He's saving taxpayer money.
[00:58:32] Speaker B: But he just put some union workers out of jobs.
[00:58:36] Speaker A: Yes, thank you, thank you.
Lana would flip if she knew I could have that big lug with the wave of a wand. If I were sneaky enough to let my fairy godmother do it.
[00:58:47] Speaker B: And now Superman will decorate. This is an announcer, the emcee of the ceremonies, if you will.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: It's probably mayor because he's wearing morning coat and top hat. Oh, yes, he's a politician.
[00:58:56] Speaker B: And now Superman will dedicate this stadium to all of the Olympic champions from Metropolis by carving their names on this plaque with his heat vision.
[00:59:05] Speaker A: But Amazingly, what Superman carves is Superman loves Lois Lane.
[00:59:11] Speaker B: Superman, what goes on? You're acting like some lovesick carving on a valentine. Carving a valentine on a tree.
[00:59:16] Speaker A: Ohp.
Lana's devastated. How could you? If you had to choose Lois instead of me, why did you make a public spectacle of it?
[00:59:25] Speaker B: Ugh, these women.
[00:59:27] Speaker A: Well, Lana, that's not what I meant to inscribe. Something or someone made me do it. Look at how he's glowering.
[00:59:34] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
Poor Lois. Look at her. She doesn't know what to say. Well, if she knows what to say, she should just say it. But she fess up. But she ain't gonna do it.
[00:59:43] Speaker A: First someone forced me to call on you, Lois, and now this. I don't know how you did these things, but your tactics won't work. Oh, Superman, I'm innocent, believe me.
[00:59:52] Speaker B: But I know who's guilty. She thinks.
[00:59:54] Speaker A: Yes. Lois returns to her car where Dodie is waiting.
[00:59:56] Speaker B: Dodie, you pulled that stunt with your wand. I asked you not to meddle.
[01:00:00] Speaker A: Oh, fiddlesticks. The big superboob really likes you. I'm just helping him make up his mind.
[01:00:05] Speaker B: But now everyone thinks I'm chasing him. Get off this matchmaker kick. You're making me look like a brazen shm.
[01:00:11] Speaker A: Schemer.
[01:00:12] Speaker B: I almost read that as schmearer schemas.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: We've been reading your adventures now for 73 issues.
Everybody knows you're chasing him exactly as you are.
[01:00:22] Speaker B: Right.
[01:00:22] Speaker A: Excuse me.
The next afternoon, as Lois covers the National Police Convention.
[01:00:29] Speaker B: Okay, so before we move on.
[01:00:31] Speaker A: Yes?
[01:00:34] Speaker B: Look at what they're making as part of the exhibit.
Historic shackles.
[01:00:40] Speaker A: Yes. As the highlight of our program. The highlight. The highlight of our program, we present this exhibit of chains and manacles used on famous prisoners.
Ta da.
[01:00:55] Speaker B: Here's a statue of Al Capone with handcuffs on. Here's a statue of Ben Hur as a galley slave. Here's one of Harry Houdini with chains wrapped around him. And of course, here's one of a giant ape.
[01:01:06] Speaker A: King Kong, the giant ape of the movie.
[01:01:10] Speaker B: So I thought as I was reading this when I turned the page that the fairy godmother is going to bring King Kong to life and do some sort of. But no. Wasted opportunity. Nope.
[01:01:22] Speaker A: And I guess this would be a highlight of the National Police Convention if these were the actual historic chains.
That they're all these prisoners. Well, and also Ben Hur. They say Ben Hur is a galley slave in the novel. And King Kong from the movie. So these are not even all actual historic figures. On Earth 1, they could have used Titano, the Super Ape or the Golden Centurion from the past.
[01:01:55] Speaker B: Then Superman demonstrates the most amazing chains of all. These manacles are used by the police of Zaldor Galaxy. They are made from the talons of the metal bird.
[01:02:05] Speaker A: You know the Zaldor Galaxy? Where I can fly to any time, but you have to spend billions of of Americans tax dollars to get there in months or weeks.
Well, Lois wants a close up of this demonstration.
[01:02:21] Speaker B: Wow, these manacles are amazing. Let me get a picture of these.
[01:02:24] Speaker A: Click, click.
So Dodie is backstage. She casts a spell. Talons clamp on Lois wrist. Superman's mighty powers resist at that instant.
[01:02:37] Speaker B: Hey, those metal talons grabbed my wrist. Is this some sort of gag? Says Lois.
[01:02:41] Speaker A: If it is, you're the comedian, Lois. Well, I'll snap these manacles in an instant. What's this? I can't break the links or melt them with my heat vision. Lois, did you do this?
[01:02:52] Speaker B: Listener, if you are like me, you have to be reminded that Superman is strong and powerful. The man of Steel. However, he can be affected by magic.
Yes, yes.
And as we can tell, he can also be possessed by an alien. I did know that because you've told me that. No, you've told me that in the past. Okay, because I'm sure I've bitched about it in the past.
[01:03:17] Speaker A: Sure.
[01:03:17] Speaker B: Remember that Superman, though, he can be weakened by kryptonite magic. Kryptonite magic. Yep.
And my first suspicion of what this was in that first transformation scene with the woman in bandages.
I was like, oh, I wonder if this is what I think it is. And then with Superman being magically moved around, I was like, I know exactly what this is.
I was so excited if. I mean, I mentioned it several times now because I was so excited to learn that I was right.
[01:03:46] Speaker A: And I'm very proud of you because we've only seen this character once before.
[01:03:50] Speaker B: I was wrong about the gender. Oh, I thought it was something else. And then the reveal was something else. But I was right about the purr.
[01:04:03] Speaker A: Yes. Okay, so Superman says, I get the picture. If you're handcuffed to me, you'll be my constant companion and learn all my secrets. Then you figure I'll have to marry you.
[01:04:13] Speaker B: Oh, no. He thinks I'm a blackmailer. Well, you are. You're a scheming woman who uses trickery all the time to try to get Superman to marry you.
[01:04:20] Speaker A: So it's just learning what happened when he has to take a leak.
[01:04:24] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Or a Super dump.
Yes, that'll be uncomfortable.
[01:04:32] Speaker A: Superman. I'll prove this isn't my fault. Take me to Jimmy Olsen's apartment and I'll get us out of these manacles.
So off they go to Jimmy Olsen's.
[01:04:40] Speaker B: I wasn't expecting this twist.
[01:04:42] Speaker A: I wasn't either. They go to Jimmy's apartment for the express purpose of drinking some of his elastic fluid that turns him into elastic ladies, which he keeps among his Superman trophies. But be careful not to drink too much.
[01:04:56] Speaker B: Otherwise she'd turn into, like, a puddle or something.
[01:04:58] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:04:59] Speaker B: This amorphous amoeba thing on the floor. Dressed in a.
Well, she'd slip out of her clothes.
[01:05:07] Speaker A: Then he'd know all her secrets. Yeah, yeah.
[01:05:09] Speaker B: As the weird liquid takes effect. There. Now I can stretch my hand as thin as spaghetti. And she frees it so her fingers are like spaghetti.
[01:05:17] Speaker A: So she's free. But Superman is still trapped in these
[01:05:20] Speaker B: handcuffs because someone used magic on him.
[01:05:22] Speaker A: And he says.
I'm warning you, Lois. Another stunt like this and we're through.
All right. Dodie's meddling has almost cost Lois her man.
Lois returns home to find Dodie sleeping in front of the tv. Looks like she's watching the Virginian.
Not in color.
[01:05:41] Speaker B: No.
Sometime later, the fairy awakens.
[01:05:46] Speaker A: Dodie, I'll bet you were responsible for those manacles that handcuffed me to Superman. Well, I got out of them. Hmm.
[01:05:52] Speaker B: How clever of you. But wait till you see what stunt I have next in mind.
[01:05:56] Speaker A: No, Dodie, I've had it. No more of your shenanigans. Forget fixing me up with Superman. How about that game of Scrabble?
[01:06:04] Speaker B: Dodie's thinking she's really hot with this Scrabble. She must love Scrabble. Okay, okay. But we resume our Get Superman campaign
[01:06:13] Speaker A: tomorrow as the game begins.
Zinsel.
[01:06:19] Speaker B: Oh, God. Zinslitsig. Zinslitspig. What kind of word is that?
[01:06:26] Speaker A: Don't you recognize it? It's your name, backward, Ms. Gizpitlizniz.
Goodbye to you and your fifth dimensional monkey shines.
[01:06:34] Speaker B: Instantly, a fantastic transformation from fairy to imp.
Ugh. Repeating my name in reverse wipes out all my magic and sends me back to my own world. How did you unmask me?
[01:06:43] Speaker A: Wait a minute. Didn't you just win the Miss Pretzel competition?
[01:06:48] Speaker B: So I thought that it was Mxyzpt. M.
Yes, in drag. Or, you know, like, in the form of a woman. I forgot that he had a girlfriend.
[01:07:00] Speaker A: Yes, because as you recall, she messed up Jimmy Olsen's wedding to Lucy Lane.
[01:07:05] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:07:05] Speaker A: Which they had to annul their marriage before they, you know, Consummated.
[01:07:10] Speaker B: Yes.
Oh, I had to talk about sex today in my art song literature class. Oh, no. Well, we covered Ned Rohrm.
[01:07:19] Speaker A: Oh.
[01:07:20] Speaker B: And you know, he had sex with Virgil Thompson and Samuel Barber.
[01:07:27] Speaker A: Sure.
[01:07:27] Speaker B: And Leonard Bernstein.
[01:07:28] Speaker A: Well, everybody.
[01:07:29] Speaker B: Yes.
So I said at the top of it, I said, I just need to. Before we get into this. This section of the unit, I have to just acknowledge that. That there are people that have sexual relations with other people. And we can't talk about Ned Rorem without talking about that. Well, I have one student in my class that is somewhat.
Comes from a rather conservative family. I see. Right.
[01:07:52] Speaker A: Well, how'd you get through the 19th century without telling them everyone died of syphilis?
[01:07:56] Speaker B: Well, here's. I said. I said, in fairness, I've given you lots of stories about people that have died from syphilis. And we've talked about women that were married and had torrid relationships with famous composers. So this is the first time that I'm going to introduce to you this Ned Rohrm. And I said, listen, if you really want a good read, read one of his steamy racing novels, one of his. One of his diaries. His diaries, wow. Did you know he lived till he was 99 years old?
[01:08:21] Speaker A: Yes, I did know that.
[01:08:23] Speaker B: Yes. Have you ever read anything of his. Any of his diaries? How is it that we've not read his diaries? They're wonderful. Tell all diaries.
[01:08:32] Speaker A: Well, there's so many things to read. Like Lois Lane comics.
[01:08:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:08:36] Speaker A: Next day, Lois tells her story to Superman.
[01:08:41] Speaker B: So that.
[01:08:42] Speaker A: Now, how did you figure it out, Lois?
[01:08:44] Speaker B: He says. She says. So that pipsqueak sprite used magic to disguise herself as my fairy godmother, and I was dumb enough to fall for it. He goes, how did you. How did you catch the wise on that? She goes, well, when I returned home after that embarrassing handcuff stunt, she noticed that Dodie was asleep. And that was her chance to get out of her hair. Get her out of her hair. So she takes the wand that was resting besides sleeping Dodie and says, wonder wand, make Dodie depart before her magic breaks my heart.
[01:09:11] Speaker A: Well, what? Didn't work?
[01:09:13] Speaker B: No, she's still there. And she said that the wand doesn't perform the magic. It's Dodie herself who's doing it. She must be Miss Gizpitlissness. How do you do that so quickly?
[01:09:24] Speaker A: I've had practice.
[01:09:26] Speaker B: Gizpitlessness.
[01:09:27] Speaker A: The girlfriend of Mr. McChespitlik so you use Scrabbles now? How did she come. This is like my mother, Detective. Yes, one simple clue.
It must be Miss Kizplicklessness.
[01:09:43] Speaker B: I couldn't have been anything else. Don't they Doesn't. Aren't there other magical creatures?
[01:09:47] Speaker A: There are plenty of other. And why didn't she think it could be Mr. Mczpitlik himself?
[01:09:51] Speaker B: God sake, Lois is a horse at once.
[01:09:53] Speaker A: Point. So you used a Scrabble set to trick her into saying her name backwards? Does Scrabble have more than one Z?
I'm absolutely serious.
[01:10:07] Speaker B: I don't know.
[01:10:10] Speaker A: I'm gonna have to look into that. Okay, Smart thinking, Lois. But what was behind her fairy godmother act?
[01:10:18] Speaker B: Well, I found the answer in the diary of Ms. Gizpit. Liz Niz.
[01:10:24] Speaker A: Good. Yes.
[01:10:25] Speaker B: She accidentally left it behind.
So as Lois reads Operation Fairy Godmother, first day operation successful so far. After I'm through, I'll explain to Lois. It was all part of my plan to get Mr. Mixpiz.
Mix. Yes? Pitlik? To marry me.
You know, you better continue on.
[01:10:48] Speaker A: For years, Mr. Mistyespitlik has been treating me the way Superman treats Lois.
Marry you?
But that would interfere with my career of creating zany just to annoy Superman and his friends in the third dimension.
[01:11:02] Speaker B: In desperation, I figured out a plan. Operation Fairy Godmother. There.
Then I slipped into the third dimension.
[01:11:09] Speaker A: And as Dodie, I'll use my magic to help Lois win Superman. Maybe that way I'll learn some new tricks that will help me become Mrs. McZyzptlik.
[01:11:20] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
[01:11:22] Speaker A: I see Ms. Gizpitliznes used her wand to mislead you so you wouldn't see she was using her imp magic to cause those effects. Lois, forgive me for misjudging you. Hmm.
[01:11:37] Speaker B: If this wand really worked, I'd get the kit, the kiss out of this deal.
[01:11:42] Speaker A: Lois, when the time comes, you won't need a magic wand to win me.
[01:11:48] Speaker B: Superman, I can't wait that long. Pucker up. And they kiss.
[01:11:52] Speaker A: And as the silly sprites watch on their lexaphone from Mr. McJespit Lick's interdimensional fifth dimension.
[01:11:59] Speaker B: She paid.
[01:12:00] Speaker A: She.
[01:12:00] Speaker B: She. Fish wipes him. Pay attention. That's how they do it in the third dimension.
[01:12:04] Speaker A: Bah. Quit trying to brainwash me.
[01:12:10] Speaker B: There we go.
[01:12:10] Speaker A: The end.
[01:12:12] Speaker B: That was fun, huh?
[01:12:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I liked it.
Well, here's a letter. Case in point about Lois's hair.
Dear Editor, I know you get many letters complaining about Lois's hairdo. I've decided to Join the crowd. When we say change Lois's hairdo, that's exactly what we mean. If you call piling her hair at her head for a few moments in a story a new hairdo, you're cracked.
A new hairdo means a completely different look. Shorten her hair a little, or lengthen it. Push her bangs back, or curl her hair behind her ears. But do something with her hair.
[01:12:45] Speaker B: The editor writes back. We once had Lois lose her hair and become as bald as a billiard ball in that story. Lois Lane, superbrain. Is that what you mean by something?
[01:12:53] Speaker A: Yes, yes.
[01:12:54] Speaker B: Anything.
[01:12:55] Speaker A: It's anything.
Remember when she got that cute new hairstyle for that one story and it was so adorable and she looked 15 years younger and then it went right back by the end of the story.
Anything to add?
No. You can find us on social media at GoGoCheckPod. You can rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts from. You can find us on our sister podcast Nerd Orchestra. And you can find us right back here next week.
Oh dear, I forgot to look at the spreadsheet. But it'll be good. You bet.
Byeeee.
[01:13:31] Speaker C: You don't have to be a politician. You can change it all with a sin and dispositions of a heavy and spread it all around.
If you find yourself a frownin' just turn it upside down when you every smile the world will shout hooray.
You gotta turn on the sunshine.
You gotta give in one time you gotta turn on the sunshine. Push those blues away.
Then this dialectics too much.
