So basically this is basically a show and tell session so basically how two of our skills, technician, infrastructure, okay so something i'll start about me i've been a work-press plugin developer for most my 12 years so i developed some of some of plug-ins like page navi pose so you can check it out so currently i'm working in technician as a tech guy so basically doing all work-press related together with Robert Robert is just join us like two weeks ago i think yeah so we are still hiring if you are looking for a job or work-press related job yeah so i'll start so if you may not know Willis so Willis is basically the CEO of tech in Asia so he approached me to join tech in Asia and I spent an engineering team that was roughly in July so i was still with Mick 33 back then which is also Michael also was my ex-colleg as well then after that in August we hire an awesome engineer Lee Chun so basically both of us started work to scale tech in Asia so previously there's a developer right now there's only one developer in tech in Asia so when we took over is basically two of us so previously we are on digital ocean running on one server the server will probably crash when you reach like 500 users so we are paying like 320 a month for it which is very expensive then when we took over we basically moved it to soft layer because it's free they give us 10,000 credits for if you have start up can properly apply the start catalyst program they offer you 10,000 credits a month yeah so right now tech in Asia is running on per three four five six seven seven servers one load balancer because the catalyst is basically a year program they are they basically give us they extended to next year so after next year we told them we probably move out most likely to AWS definitely so when Chris mention whatever structure is what we already did plan but the elastic force system is not out yet so we can't really do any testing hopefully it'll be out soon yeah it's in preview now yeah hold it up for public soon yeah so yeah that will be moving to AWS eventually anyway yeah so once we move all the server to soft layer the first thing that we should do is basically monitor the server if you don't monitor server there's no way to measure your performance whether it's any improvement whether the server is not performing or something like that so we are using graphite to monitor all our all our server stats so graphana is basically just a front end for graphite and graphite collects data from collectee which is basically a daemon and this daemon basically collects all the information like memory RAM and push to graphite we can see it just nice so whenever you push something out you will know whether it's performing based on a chart if there's a spike something must be wrong so we will normally take a look at it and fix it on the fly so one of the key features that Chris mention is WordPress when you have multiple servers one of the common problem is how do you handle user uploader files we got about 10 years worth of images in our servers so basically we tried using an NAS at first but it was just very painfully slow so that was before Amazon has elastic file system so we that luckily one of the common solution is Glastafs so basically it syncs you can you can define mall points and he can syncs that particular mall point across all servers it happens almost instantly so so far we have been using for one year is it's pretty it's pretty good so if you are running your own servers and needs to have multiple web servers you can take a look at Glastafs so we also did some changes to how WordPress works as well so we firstly remove WordPress used to be in a root folder so we basically move further WordPress to a folder on its own which is called a folder called core there are two things to this is basically is a it to prevent automated automated attacks based on the URLs and also we is a git checkout of WordPress in GitHub so when anybody has unauthorized modification to WordPress itself we will know you can run a cron job that monitors the directory like git status and send you email everyday if there's changes because if you have all your files in the root folder without a git checkout you will not know what file has been modified by the hackers the other one we did was we hasty press the whole site just so that increase sensitivity and equation and give a slightly ranking boost in Google yeah okay so WordPress was using 83 plug-ins when i was there so we clean it we remove 48 plug-ins and we cut down to 35 plug-ins so some of the plug-ins are very very very polycoded so when you delete a plug-in some plug-ins doesn't have an uninstall.php to remove the data that have get created living behind a lot of junk data so data like plug-in options some they added some post meta to your post comment meta user meta so once we fix all that it took us about a week to fix all that so literally going through the code starting the code find what options it create and delete manually from the database so this will be a huge improvement boost see when we wrote roll a code up we can see immediately our database traffic size spike drop by half which makes it's more efficient so that's why i say it's important to monitor your server so that you will roughly know what benefits you'll get in return so of course we are previously we are using edge cast which is really horrible it's horrible expensive and doesn't provide a free SSL set since we SSL our own site with our CDN is we have SSL set as well and it charge like what $700 just to have an SSL option us a month so we decided screw it and we go with max CDN again it's free for us we like to bootstrap so whatever free we just take so we are stagnation was part of YC we got a max CDN deal is literally free for us so the next once we solve the server we solve the plug-ins now next is the team okay the team was also very despondely very polycoded stem by some development studios there's no proper use of WordPress API so there's like unnecessary SQL queries over the place that's like no central point you want debug you basically have to go to all the codes and find where calling and the CSS and JS is not minify of combined and one thing I don't like is the features they comment out the HTML portion of it by using the HTML comments but they leave the PHP and SQL code inside so even the feature is not displayed it's still being loaded yeah so we we design the team from scratch literally just delete away the folder we remove we talk with the stakeholders like editorial team our product team we remove unnecessary or unused features we flatten the whole UI using SVGs and for not for my cons so of course yes we minify it and combine it and of course caching so as long as the information will not change we normally cash for an hour by default and then cash now this set this is still the old layout that we have so our previous web stack was basically Apache PHP and my SQL the standard just our hobby I just upgraded it to engine XHVM and using MayaDB for engine X and HHVM we notice quite a lot of difference in terms of speed and does of page rendering it literally cut form almost a second to about 0.1 second using HHVM and engine X for MayaDB and MySQL personally I don't really find any much performance improvement in fact MayaDB crashes a few times on a few tables and yeah so yeah I'm done already yeah just keep it short so yeah so basically this is summary what we did when I took over move the servers clean up plugin redesign team and change our web stack yeah so for future plans we have basically plans to as I mentioned earlier to move to AWS to make it dockerize everything I'm still learning docker yeah so make it everything yep yeah yeah HHVM basically it's keep up kumpup code we use we now use HHVM we still a compare we still a switch it to HHVM from the Apache mod PHP module we skip the FEM part yes so we are there's also I'm taking along a way lah I mean performance is an ongoing process so we tweak the memory the just in time size and stuff then we will use if you let me see we haven't do such such she still basically using Google custom search we have plans to do such probably it's in a product line but not so soon we are we still exploring so normally how I compare can you see okay so normally how I compare is basically we have this and using this plug-in call query monitor so basically as you can see on the index page with our new layout by the way so you can see that there's you only uses like 6 MB and 0.1 second so before when I before I switch to HHVM we're getting about like 0.8 0.9 1 second just to render the whole page so HHVM literary cut cut it down to 0.1 I think it's the page rendering size setting it's the it's the page rendering size that including all the database and everything they got the database they will break down everything so we see it's everything all in one because we upgrade all your ones so we can't ready be sure but as far as I know MayaDB has not much info pun lah that's a plug-in call query monitor query monitor yeah yeah this one correct you give that information you break down any PHP error any Ajax error it's awesome yeah I totally recommend that even on the production side it's good to use it yes yes you log in but you also can measure lockout they allow you to create a cookie so you can click a button create a cookie so you can see the lockout performance as well yeah so you know whether some of queries are caching and some are not correct you can see the offline version of it yeah query monitor yeah I like it I see it's like almost 5 star out of 5 92 developers I'm pretty sure yeah okay I'm done anymore question okay shameless plug I got my own plug-in which I basically wrote for tech in Asia actually so I make it open so it's called WP sweep it cleans up all this information not sure you can see it cleans up maximise it so this is all the things that it cleans up revision auto draft deleted commands unapproved commands spam commands all this you will clean it up that's one thing I wrote when I did the clean up and I decided open source it yeah we basically make changes to the code and we just check out normally we and we have for example there's if there's a new database we normally created before we deploy the code so for content changes we don't really do much content changes or we do content changes on staging then after that we just deploy the code production issue work there's another plug-in called RAM but I'm not too sure whether how it works it does what you mentioned it's called RAM WordPress let me see yes it's this one it basically does yes we don't do any changes yes so there's this and nothing called RAM which is basically does content deployment from staging all the way to production if I'm not wrong yeah it sings your yeah I guess it's a plug-in I think it's a paid plug-in for this yeah it's 249 yeah so basically it puts to staging it test and it will sings to production I think that's how roughly it was didn't wait test it but it's a quite a popular plug-in yeah yeah it's alright yeah it's okay unless there's yeah it's okay no we basically run the queries on staging first then we run the exact same query on production yeah yeah both of course yeah before we deploy the code no no easy I basically write a script to find all the option and compare it so for the option I think we clear from 6,000 rows 292 yeah that's why you see that the despite in the queries yeah it took so long time yeah correct because wordpress as a for options as a autoload column which basically set to years by default so if let's say you use a lot options it will just yeah it's part of your payload in every page but I can't see there's any solution for it because unless there's like a central repository like this plug-in users this option name then you can check against a central database but if every plug-in users is own option name there's no way to determine whether or not it's being used bila tak cek kode yeah yeah but some options are because we still have some plug-ins existing plug-ins so some of them might be still using the options and they are own plug-in options so since we remove 48 plug-ins we have to check the code of this 48 plug-ins to see what options they left behind yeah so it's a very tears manual job yeah unfortunately there's no automated way I can find yeah it will not remove the it will not remove the options so basically I when I remove the plug-in I will just see what he have a normally has a ad update or ad options I'll find a key name and I just did it directly from the options of course I wrote a script to do it ah yeah I wrote a script to do it so it's much faster but of course I wrote it's still some human checking involved cannot be automated yeah okay thank you


I definitely would love to man football filler right looks like the packed filler sold out Just need to sell out maybe potentially a couple r&b spots and maybe one more filler I'm not sure how many of those were supposed to be doing But once I go through the orders, I'll let you guys know But hell yeah, I would love to do that flawless.

Thank you And then you guys As What's up, Eric That's another dame Penn State All right Again tennessee I know Nick congratulations on your diamonds, man. It's it's been a long road, right? But The time is now I mean, you know how it is being a dodge fan for us We're happy throughout the year, but playoffs always disappoint us Miami But hey, man, hopefully you guys can make it to the world series. That'd be fun. I have an nls team represent I mean Filly right now is looking really hot, but it should be a good match, but they had to play the Phillies I mean, I'll probably be rooting for the Phillies now not to say like I want down the backs to lose like forget them You know, even though we're division division rivals, but All right, I love Bryce Harper. I always have so We'll see how they do I think that game should be starting now, right? I feel like the game should be starting now Yeah, honestly, I mean, hopefully good for the city of phoenix though Oh it's at five. Oh man, that's a late-ass game dude. That's like eight o'clock over there It's so late I know You know about big eagles sad, you know, I got eagles Philly hat, you know, when I was Uh, and a ratting. I mean, I should have a little beef with the Phillies, you know, because they beat us You know the nlcs in the 2000s, but Well, yeah, I don't really have too much too too much Like I know Eric, but I mean, I feel like dude make it prime time started at like five or six eastern You know, two three pacific. I mean, I get it. They want the west coast audience to watch still, right? I mean You know, because it's only five o'clock for us, but I feel like for you guys in the east coast, man, that's freaking late, but I mean, I guess it's probably for a for a normal During the week workday. I guess it is probably better at eight o'clock, right? Most people would be able to work by them But I don't know. I feel like it's pretty late. I just personally think I would hate To live on the east coast and like love sports Because imagine I have to watch a king's game in the east coast, right?  One in the morning Like I guess it's cool on sundays because you guys have until one o'clock to do whatever you need to do But I kind of like waking up here on the west coast And watching the 10 o'clock games in bed, you know Unless i'm going somewhere and watching it then we got to wake up early, but I personally like that I personally like that we can kind of sleep in a little bit We're not sleeping a little bit, but you know watch the first the first half of the games in bed mommy Nice yeah, let's get some hockey going man Do Let's let's Let's do that hockey Go to house some bowls Who the hell buys a buys a fancy pen? Anybody watch the david beckham? Doc on On netflix yet. I've seen the first uh I've seen the first episode Last night So funny Where's jack cambo out now? He's still in Toronto Man my king's got smoke yesterday At least in the third they did LA city of losers right now man, I swear Jack cambo, you know, he was uh He was a big-time gold tanner man prospect and he signed a dallas He was a first round pick for dallas. He was supposed to be the guy but Just they threw him in they threw him in man fire And uh Just didn't work out and man played in the minus for a very long time and then Was able to get to the kings and get some good good coaching By ranford and did pretty well with us and then was able to have a pretty decent last few years You know kind of bouncing around but I didn't realize you're the night Yeah, why why isn't skinner getting the nod? I thought he was your guy Alrighty guys. Well again guys just before I start this, you know, the second half is in the store So depending on what we hit or don't hit There is 11 teams here, you know, obviously take a look at some of them You know like Wisconsin and those teams are like 20 bucks florida still have some hits Um, you know good players just only have like two autographs like I think for each Then you have some teams like Notre Dame still there michigan still there for 100 You know right Clemson with Kate club Nick Ole miss is a solid team with 30 bucks guys They got some good big-time play makers on their checklist, even though it's small Like I said, my duck's still there Penn State has some ballers there future NFL players there Um, and LSU has a huge checklist for 60 bucks Tons of great players. So I can go through the checklist with you guys I was able to see a lot of it yesterday. So I kind of got a feel for what What what comes out of the boxes and stuff like that, but it's some nice stuff guys It is some nice stuff So I'm going to start this break now and then after that we got that premier hockey that's sold out that we can do next Um a little snack break and then uh So There we go I'm going to rip open just the hobby first and do the hobby boxes and then we'll open up the HTA case and then They won't do the HTA after as well So we're really quick as before I start I just want to make sure I set my fancy line up because I don't know if I have anybody else playing but Kelsey today I don't have to check the plan today Do I need Travis calcium there even though he might be limited but he can still be like a red zone offensive guy Get a touchdown at least or should I play Dalton Schultz? I kind of want to play Dalton, but I feel like even a limited Travis Kelsey is probably still better I don't know they're playing New Orleans next week. I think I'm just gonna leave Travis Kelsey in I feel like regardless he still can get quite a few points All right, here we go then guys Here we go here we go What's up everybody jason from jaskiescasebricks.com we just sold out 2023 Bowman chrome University football this is a 12 box break six boxes of breakers delight six boxes of hobby picker team number one guys It wasn't you released yesterday very surprised. We didn't get at least one of these done yesterday guys. The stuff is fire Now of course, you know now that uh, you know got a little bit of uh, uh You know contract with the ncda with the niles, you know able to uh To kind of make products again and you know try to get that bowman first feel on the football side So of course chasing some prospects of players that are still in college Some of them may have first some of them may be a prospect already second year third year But chasing some big names like Travis hunter should your sanders Marvin Harrison jr. Drake may that are future first-rounders in the nfl So here's everybody there guys Boom and I will say for the people that were watching on fanatics live yesterday You know, we had some really bad cases in the uh four cases we did but My wife ended up picking some boxes or some cases for the uh other breaks and did extremely well So I had her pick again So she picked some again today so hopefully, uh She'll go two for two this time I'm very superstitious about that so I let her choose again So Six to the left six to the right we're gonna roll a die one two three for the left four five six for the right side And it's a three so one two three so this half here will be for the next break which again we could run back today And then we'll do the same thing of course And uh the break is the like case once we get to that but we'll break the hobby first I did not see a Harrison jr. With us last night, but we did pull a lot of his colors I pulled a variation of Harrison jr. As well Uh We hit about like three shooters to androidos yesterday couple bow nicks Um We had a couple Caleb autographs yesterday too couple reds You know, I had a really nice michael panick's orange to 25 autograph too We got to show that to some of the washington guys that are in the stream I sent it to chad and stuff But no, we didn't hit a harrison jr. But hopefully maybe he went here though Yeah, you you did extremely well. I reckon you killed it Yeah, we had to kind of tell people man just buy LSU and like our half casers because man they hit so much in the forecaster Not granted it was four cases, but all those whose checklist is very big for their price All right, so I will rip two boxes at a time And then we'll go with the next ones These are now way more than four packs unless there's just two colors Here we go. Here we go. There's chadour Watson We got a mario williams for usc green shimmer Number to 99 usc is josh morgan Caleb early risers don't say more Robbie asher for auburn Now again, obviously there's about like 40 teens 40 programs that are in the all under the university So auburn is one of them. So that's going to go to matt smith. There's a marvin harrison jr.  I'm gonna try to buy it off of out off of allen Chadour and frank gore jr. What about that for southern miss? That's going to the combo spot, which is matt smith next one We got christopher mazina alabama purple shimmer shaz pressed in which again is not going to be numbered purple shimmers aren't We got a dallas turner for alabama going to steven autograph CJ donelson jr Jaylin mcmillan nice little washington purple color match with 399 washington is d mack and malik neighbors for lsu ben with that one Gulcher justice ellison for wake forest To 50 that's another one for the combo spot matt smith andrew lakuba marvin harrison jr little travis hunter first reyland allen Well back to back colors will roger. I think that was that pack. I thought that was super huge Out of 299 it's a combo spot and then bc and rhino keefy Another combo spot orange out of 25 continue on guys drop class again, especially if calum decides to leave You got calum drink main bonix. I mean you'll have Other quarterbacks that will probably you know declare that you know could be top first rounders. I mean If calum does go out end of going out and committing to the draft It's it's going to be pretty wild. How many teams are really going to trade off for a kid like that? I mean And I think I think he should well anyways just Just because you know obviously you never know what happens. He comes back to usc Yeah, he's getting paid a lot of money But then he has a career ending injury and then it's over don't even get to make it to the league to the craze like that, but I don't think I'll have to worry about like these worst teams, you know He's drafting him because you might get some teams like the paces or somebody that has a bunch of ammo potentially Right or like like the bears right that already got that ammo from last year and uh I'm actually go to a decent team not like a horrible team. Well. Yeah, that'd be funny Of course, he would get like another prototypical pocket quarterback I have to say JJ is not like Mobile or is that I think I think it's safe to say that they need a quarterback. That's mobile though. I mean I think the prototypical pop pocket pass recorder back. It's pretty much done with now You know, you need to do a threat A guy that could move, you know That's just the way football is nowadays like imagine how like Michael vick donovan mcnav You know Those type of quarterbacks would be like thriving in this league now. We're back in the day People kind of hated them They love to paint mannings of the world. They love the tomb raiders of the world, you know Oh, that's what I'm saying. They got a lot of teams that go after him fun So, I mean, I don't think he should worry about like going to the worst team possible because they might not even work out that way I mean the bears potentially hold like the number one and number two pick You know, they have so much ammo there and there's other teams that could have multiple first rounders or offer Great big-time players to move up in the draft. So this could be one of the craziest drafts like in a while where Not only is the quarterbacks going off the board, but just massive trades going out, you know Like michael panix. I think he's eligible to go out in the draft if you wanted to write From washington too I don't remember if he's a sophomore. He's a junior No, that's the thing.  I mean Even them bro, like it's it's tough because yeah, you never know what happens. Like There's been times where quarterbacks decided to stay like let's say mad barkley now That barkley's a different quarterback from Caleb. He didn't want a national he didn't want a championship or potentially didn't even want a heisman but You know, if he would have went out He's junior year from usc. He would have been a first rounder. Maybe maybe Maybe his whole complexity of his career changes But then he decides to go back to usc for like unfinished business We can win a national championship That didn't happen Had a horrible season And then became like a third fourth rounder You know It doesn't always fail that way. Oh, is panics a transfer?  So panics, Caleb and bonex all transferred in I forgot. Well, yeah, I don't know I like Shadoor. I think he needs to stay and get better though. I don't think he should go out I think even Dion said he's not but I mean, I'm sure at the end of the day this Shadoor's Call if he wants to go out Damian Martinez He needs to he needs to get a little bit better. I don't think he's quite there yet Marvin Harrison Kate Clubnig Kay Benson Uh, 295 out of 299 An Innis for the Ohio State Buckeyes What a damn I thought he played two years at Jackson State But I could be wrong. Maybe you're right, but I thought he was dropped algebra already if he wants to go out Trayson Ward under 99 Brock Bowers Drake May little shimmer other green The floor is a sound those Jared versey tonight or not I have no idea where the hell is Fraser Park Is that a city Michael Pratt quarterback out of Tulane Oh 70 miles long. Yeah, I don't know. I don't really go up north actually so I have no idea Good for somebody of north 70 miles from LA Coming up Friggin billionaire bonix, but a little green color match beautiful 24 out of 99 Go ducks william prime time There's bonix again And Xavier worthy orange shimmer autograph for texas You know what chat I would agree with you, but you know there will be somebody that will buy them in a heartbeat Because they're just in it to flip You know honestly You're gonna see so many people want to buy the bears But the normal customers would be like, yeah, I'll just wait for the r&b But no, it's it's a possibility. Isn't that crazy to think about like the bears could just move on from Justin Fields and Draft Caleb and Marvin Harrison one and two that'd be ridiculous Roydale Williams equipment from Harrison Shedore Troy Franklin shimmer And Blake Corvin nice from michigan chat All right two more. I'll be watching guys and we can go to the hta Uh, which is the breakers delight Javion Cohen. Oh, sorry Eric. I couldn't look at the checklist. I'm glad you did Marvin Harrison refractor And a Marvin Harrison orange shimmer will take that for the Ohio State Dan three out of 25 And how about a little Travis hunter? for colorado Just a base but a nice one there for shawna in colorado mini diamonds travis hunter purple out of one atty dime All right, we're acting up a little little little buffaloes here at the end of the hobby Campbell Bo nicks We had a powers insert rambling Raheem sanders purple shimmer well and candle milton Pink mini diamonds autograph for George are 25 out of 150 Georgia It's going to will It's prime time It's all good, Eric All right last hobby box guys and then we'll go to the breakers delight Troy Franklin green Jatavion sanders for texas Will with that one to 99 Will Johnson out of 399 and braille and trice for washington Which is going to de-mact to 499 for refractor auto Yeah for the minnesota I forgot what their mascot is really again Gophers now that's a different one, right? um That's a purple going to the convo spot Matt Matt Smith That makes golden golfers. Yeah, I knew it was something golfers Drake main Marvin Harrison and we should have one more autograph here.   I was date. Bye guys I'll stick Eric. That's awesome. It's always fun to follow some like local kids Lovely my high school sucked at sports mainly minus soccer really soccer. They're really good, but Don't really can't really fall too much, but In our league there might have been a couple players that wants to like UCLA USC But not too many My sports league wasn't really that good minus soccer like our soccer team though was like cif champions like almost every other year All right, so there's the autographs here. We'll have to top it all then but we'll top them at the end But some solid stuff not bad big kahuna Marvin Harrison jr orange shimmer worthy travis hunter and travis hunter base base so Let's now switch scenes and uh, we're going to do the uh Very good to like these now Of course it is a half-piece break as well. So Better rip it open and then we'll choose which half we're going to use for this one second half will be for number two Same thing one two three for the left side four five six for the right side guys. Here we go And it is a two and two three So again, these boxes here will be for the next break, which again, we could run it back today guys A lot of those teams that actually you know were via a pack filler Haven't really hit much. I haven't called too many names out You know Clemson, I feel like we haven't hit like a cold club again. We hit some nice colors. Maybe but I feel like we have nothing for wisconsin Oregon just got a nice bow next green No auto though Notre Dame, Miami So Sorry you guys can hear me Let me know if i'm good. Oh wait you put never mind Here we go guys so again Just like breakers delight tops chrome skipping all the base silver some colors And two autographs Marvin Harrison jr a little shock Cam rising For you taught at 3.99 Jalen burger at 3.99 purple Then got JJ McCarthy for the Wolverines for Michigan And the first autographs Antonio Gates Jr and second auto Troy Franklin nice Big-time receiver there for the organ ducks hopefully has a big game against uh Washington So michigan state's going to go to the all other universities and then Oregon as will Emeka Barnes vinson Wiggins Hunter Chas Preston Orange shock Badger to 3.99 for Arizona state Then alabama of course, steven Rashad dubinian for Arkansas Let's go to the combo And so it's this one here bronson baron For western kentucky and we got will johnson And for Clemson Phil Maffa Clemson Will with that one And a nice one there for michigan chad b purple many diamonds and bill micks Kavis Barnes fissure Griffin What was that a red? We got a red Caleb johnson for isla that's gonna be out of five Then i'm a quarter there for Ohio state Well that read out of five Caleb johnson for isla three out of five Running back. I don't know if he's good, but It is the first So go to the combo matt smith We got a damian martinis For organ state beavers another one for the combo We have cj donelson jr for west virginia another one for the combo and nice k clubnik For uh Clemson Now again yesterday two guys we had our delight cases and uh And our hobby cases a couple of those cases. We did have two bonex Two clubniks. It also had two Caleb williams It was wild guys So like i said, even though some of these hits may have been popping out now Doesn't mean they can't hit in the second half because I did not expect to hit two refracted calybs in the same case I believe it was from the Delight So that was pretty wild All right, looks like we got an orange orange coming up bryans uh thomas jr Big time receiver there for lsu frank gore jr to two ninety nine barns to three ninety nine texas tech here and bow collins orange shadore ronde gatson For sarah cues ramblin man to 25. That's an awesome one Sarah cues also, I believe part of the combo matt smith man the combo team eats two guys Combo team eat down 35 o'clock I think the game starts at like 5-0 senator Bottom wind is a raider shadore refractor Starks robinson melton big melon smell madame jr little rogers to two ninety nine michael hall jr troi franklin purple out of three ninety nine, then we have a tv on robinson With a karson beckford georgia william with that one a little bit caleb early risers Yeah, baseball's always been like that, bro. Baseball likes to have those weird time starts Remember dodgy games always started like a 7 10 7 0 7 All right last box guys, I don't know man beats me here Just enough time for the people that run just a little late, you know works perfect for them Campbell mcdowell trice white Travis you got a karson steel orange shock Wave for uc la fight fight fight evan Montrell johnson Malik benson and montrell johnson was to two ninety nine. This is a three ninety nine And then ever it is also the three ninety nine And we got a jj mccarty from ishington. Nice pair from ishington And how about uc la's true freshman quarter back daunte more Very nice uc la evan again It's like football they start they start football at 105 and 125 On the weekends right on sundays and it's like either 405 or 425 like why Why 25 why 05 I just think it might I just must be with the program right if the game starts at five exactly You don't have You don't have enough time to like talk about the game really quick with the commentators do all this stuff So if you just delayed a few minutes, you still have time to actually talk about the game analyze it sideline reports And then boom 705 and then you get like one commercial to squeeze in before everything starts All right, there you go guys so nice nice delight break we had a lot of nice, uh, you know quarterbacks here But still looking for some of the bigger ones and potential bigger playmakers as well This was not a bad half case of delight So if you guys if you said want to run it back I think there's still a lot of potential guys like we seen a lot of it yesterday Uh, definitely still have a lot of chances of still being a lot of nice hits guys Yeah, guys appreciate it break number one Dumbzo visit the website jazby's casebase.com to get the second half guys. Thank you I don't think there was much for wisconsin man They were like one of the cheaper teams remaining unfortunately only have like one or two autograph possibilities But you might have gotten some base or first cards chris, but just nothing Autographed or maybe even numbered unfortunately. Sorry man But uh, like I said, obviously there's still those other teams still straight up so You want to give them a shot too? I mean true eric Maybe us sports fans or people that have the time to like Watch the pre-game analysis shows definitely just want the game to start but People that are literally just like getting out of work or you know, obviously just Want to know when the game starts they don't they don't care about watching the pre-game stuff They just want to watch it at seven or watch it at five watch it at six I think that's another reason why but It would be nice to know why they decided to start at five will seven instead of five o'clock exactly But I figured it's something like that They get a quick commercial in right they get paid for that Commentators get to introduce themselves every game And they jump right into the game Yeah, I mean minus the Marvin Harrison guys. I mean that was cool to Travis Hunter I still feel like there's a lot more hiding in these two cases guys We had some massive cases yesterday in this half case breaks. We did I definitely feel like there's got to be more. I thought maybe we'd get a couple hours in while I was breaking I guess not So then for now guys all we have really sold out right now is going to be the uh, Premier hockey Which we'll start right now in about like five minutes Case here guys What's up everybody? Jason here for jaspyscasebreak.com. We just sold out a 21-22 upper deck premier hockey two box break Three rounds each number six, which is from a fresh case guys and we're still giving away a free spot So again, we only sell nine we'll randomize the nine names number one get to free spot Pace it in then we'll randomize the names And teams remember a couple combo teams there That's two box break from a fresh case guys.

There's the empty box All right, so these two are great these two these two these two Will roll a die if I roll a six we'll just redo it again It's a two So we're going to go to the second boxes here Now these ones here will stay together.

Bye next year There you go Very solid box too All right next one. I've got awesome matthews relic to two through 99 And new hook to 399. Oh, did you really neck damn? Well, you know what? Don't let it break out too much because it was from a different case now If it was from the same case that definitely would have broke my heart But since technically it's a brand new case, you know Technically wasn't really possible Try the brand end up just a little bit, you know Just a little bit All right avalanche nick maybe leaves Uh going to will All right, we have kutcher off to 299 Jake nabors To 199 Look at this patch right here riley tufti 188 out of 249.

Well, not a bad two boxes. I mean beautiful autographs here, especially with the vechkin one on one, but Definitely feel like there should be better rpa's But I want to one definitely does help So appreciate it guys. Like I said, another one is in the store Gaspys case breaks.com guys. Thank you We're gonna catch gordy. I would assume gordy house number one, right? They do play for like 30 years Vikings Crystal the twins Packed filler for his bowman you soon and then Probably for like diamond icons and some other breaks that are pretty much just kind of stalled.  Very good. All the way down. Very good. Very good. Very good. Very good. Very good. No way, did they really? I think I'll follow them on my other card account. It's probably their cut autographs, right? I think a lot of people are hoping they'd break up, Mike, because her next album will be really fired. I think that's the whole point. They want it to happen. I'm getting some spots in that flawless R&B, the respots in the filler, and then Kensen E. Chees and Gold Standard. All right, so the first one I'm going to fill her up, guys, is going to be this one. And any other takers, potentially, guys? If not, like I said, I'm just going to fill her it up. Really, Mike? That's awesome, dude. I did not see that, but he has dropped me another album tonight. That's what me and my wife are waiting for later tonight. I think it's at midnight eastern, so 9 o'clock for us. So I'm going to start randomly, I'm going to start pack-filling this up, guys. So if anybody wants some spots, 11 left, and if not, then this will be coming up next. I know Pete Davidson starting off the season, though, with Ice Spice. Oh, so we'll see you on my phone. All right, so Clemson, 60, 40, 20, 69, 40, I'm not sure what I'm on for. Okay, 100, 10 minutes. 40, I think it's going to be 98, it's actually 60. I'm just going to say it's going to be 60, 60. The next filler up is actually a couple teams in the hundreds, couple teams in the 90s, couple teams in the 80s, and then about like three or four teams at 60 bucks or more.  And then Florida, of course, are pretty much at the spot price.  And again, it's basically almost the same price. It just increased a couple dollars only because there's 11 teams instead of potentially only eight in the last one. So I just feel like this could be a lot of big hits for a lot of those teams, guys. So give it a shot. Sal's out, PYT number two of Bowman Chrome U football. I'm also going to fill her up now, guys, to the diamond icons. I feel like that should be able to go off, maybe, with this R&B. A lot of the bigger teams are off the board, so if anybody wants to potentially do an R&B. We actually went on a good little run right now, guys. That pack filler for Flawless that's given away the last two R&B spots has downed out a 21 from 32. So we just literally sold about, like, 10 teams, 10 spots in that break. Let's get that rolling. Now, again, obviously, we still have to sell the four R&B spots straight up, but if we sell out that pack filler, maybe it entices somebody to grab a team straight up or a spot straight up, and we don't even have to do any more fillers, but if for some reason we sell one or two and that's it, it gets stuck, then we sell out the pack filler, I could always turn the last two spots into a filler, a mini pack filler if need be, but if we could sell that last pack filler up and might entice some of the customers to grab a full spot, just grab their spots tonight, and then we don't even have to worry about another filler. Because technically we were planning on selling at least six spots straight up, two fillers. And like I said, we've sold two already, we got four left, and then we have another pack filler up there at 21. I put the pack filler up here for Bowman U. A lot of chances of some big hits and hiding in both the cases, half cases that we've done. This sells it out, and then we have teams, not eight. Let me actually change that really quick. Eleven teams, not eight. So I think Sean, you might have bought it, but don't worry, I'm going to switch the title because it's supposed to be eleven teams. So those are the teams in there. And then I just filler it up, of course the Diamond Icons free spot giveaways tonight only. $1.27.99 gets you a piece of all of these teams including the Royals, Rays, Tigers, Blue Jays, White Sox Cubs, Marlins, Brewers, Twins, and I don't think it's the last box there's still two more to go, so if you guys want to give that a shot. But everything else is kind of already filler up this select. I might have to fill that up soon. Anybody wants to grab some teams around nine left there. But yeah, I mean, whatever you guys want to do, I have a couple orders to go through right now. Let's rally on something. Kind of want to see some more Bowman U would love to do some Fallows today, love to do some Diamond Icons, and then also maybe one of the new releases from yesterday, I'll see how much the select break is in a packed filler. Maybe we'll fill that up too. Might as well put everything in a filler. Select's right there. This helps sell it out. The nine teams that didn't sell. Oh, sorry, they weren't put in there? That's it. You can paste that in there really quick. So I've posted it in there too. Should be updating right now. There we go. There we go. Reds, Oros, Mariners, Carnals all in another podge. Remember the Reds and Oros? I think we're both 250. Mariners over 180. Carnals over 100. Brewers, Pirates, Rangers all 80 bucks. The worst teams I think were the A's and Podgers is 60, which is still even almost double the spot price there. So pretty nice one there. Nine teams being given away there. So fillered up the select. Fillered up the Diamond Icons. Fillered up the Bowman U. Last filler there for the Mosaic. The ball's in your court now, guys. If you guys want to get some stuff done. Let me go through a couple orders over there quick. So Michael, the one that got it started, got two spots in the Flawless R&B Pack Filler. The last one we're trying to do. Two there. Sean got two in that one as well. The Flawless one and two spots in the Bowman Chrome Pack Filler for PYT number two. Four in the next Flawless R&B Pack Filler. One, two, three, four. So yeah, that's what brings it down to 21, guys. Brandon got a spot in the Topps Chrome Sapphire Break. And then Dennis got a spot in the Update Jumble Dual Caser Filler. And then Alexander got four in the Prism Baseball. I don't mind doing some Select, guys. I'd love to see some Select Baseball if you guys want to do that. One, two, three, four. Nice. So show me what you guys want to do. Looks like that Pack Filler is moving and then of course this Pack Filler is out of 26. I know the website is pretty stock, guys, but there's quite a few things that are just a Pack Filler away or straight up spots away, guys. So we're just looking back. And there are none, 239, 37, 6, 3, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, Alright, so Castellanos just hit a bomb. So again, tons of spots are either a break away or a filler spot away from selling out guys. So let's get this moving. Some of them as little as like 23 bucks, a filler spot.

Welcome to Suncoast Spotlight. Thank you for tuning in. I'm your host, Jeannie Corcoran, the film commissioner for Sarasota County, and I have, as always, amazing guests that are part of our industry in film and television, and new media, print media, all forms of communication come to our show, and we're always so grateful. With me today is the amazing, legendary, comic book creator, artist, entrepreneur, filmmaker, writer, producer. Did I miss anything? No, I'm tired of just listening to you. Bob Gaten. Best known for Iron Man and Ant-Man, and owning a comic company of his own, and two actually, so many, so many credits we're gonna talk about today, and the show has brought you through the partnership of the Educational Channel, the Suncoast Technical College, the Digital Filmmaking Department, headed by Bob Gray at STC, and we're so glad you're here with us. Thanks for tuning in. So, Bob, are you ready to get this rolling? Yes, let's pretend we don't know each other. That's right. And as people may notice behind you, you have a pop-up banner of Iron Man, and I guess that goes with you everywhere you go, doesn't it? Pretty much does, yeah. I mean, because you and I do conventions all around the world, so. In fact, I first met you at Comic-Con New York. That's true. Yes. That's true last year, and I was there promoting the Thunder Agents. Right, and those who have watched this show have seen Michael Uslan, who is the executive producer and originator of all the Batman movies, and a good buddy of yours. What they don't know is that he's a childhood friend of mine. Michael, since he was 19 years old. Oh, wow. So, we go back that way. Isn't he still 19 years old? Well, and his head. Yes, yes. Michael Uslan is many wonderful things, and one of the things I appreciate most is that he introduces me to other wonderful people like Bob Layton, and we're also going to be interviewing a friend of yours who's a renowned actor, but we'll talk about that later on the show. Right now, I just want to talk about you. Yeah, I'd rather talk about me than him, too. So, tell me now you are located occasionally here in the Tampa Bay area. You have a little home site here, and you're going to go back and forth between here and LA. Is that right? Well, mostly here. Mostly here. Mostly here, yeah, because I've been out in LA for the last 10 years. Right. You know, working in the business, and now I've come back here, as you know, to establish, they don't know, so we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about this. To establish a larger film presence here in the state of Florida. So, I am working with wonderful people such as yourself and other film commissioners, basically, to put together a package of film slates of projects that we can do here in the state of Florida. Wonderful. I hope everybody at home is listening to that, and everybody in the sound of my voice in the Tampa Bay region, especially, that Bob wants to do a slate of films. That means more than one right here in our Tampa Bay area. So, I'll be looking for talented young people to join me in this. Yes, we're looking for students, we're looking for interns, but we're also going to be looking to steer you to equipment and crew and above the line people, below the line people and everything in between. Equipment providers and more. When I ran Valiant, it was a startup company that wound up being the third largest publisher in America. How I engineered that was finding hungry young talent, people who really shared that vision that I had who wanted to be part of that, and basically trained them on the job as they went along. And that seemed to be a winning formula for us. Like I said, we grew from being a startup to the third largest publisher right after under Marvel and DC. So, I'm going to try to use the same sort of model here in Florida. I'm looking for talented young people when they, of course, when they're of age. Cause I know there's laws down here, right? Right, right. Well actually, Florida- That's right here, there's some laws. We have more and more young talent coming up for them ranks every single day. Florida's much younger than it used to be, and we have wonderful, mature talent. But I want to take you back in time. Oh my God. I want to take you back in time to Charlton Comics. Tell me a little bit about- Oh, thank you, Mr. Peabody. Yes, you be Sherman, I'll be Mr. Peabody. And we're going to go back and talk about Charlton Comics in the Bowling Alley. Tell me how you got started. Well actually, because you know about this, because a friend of mine is making a documentary on the history of Charlton Comics, which is a very small comic book company in Dermay, Connecticut that started in the 50s by two guys who were in jail at the time who basically came up with the idea of starting their own publishing company. In jail, that's a key point of it. And they set up their offices inside of a bowling alley. And if you guys want to see this, you can look up on YouTube, look up Charlton Movie Trailer and take a look at the sizzle reel that they put together for this thing.  Didn't you refer to it as like a three-legged dog? Yeah, it's basically, Charlton was the three-legged dog of the comic book industry. But what's really amazing is stuff like the Watchmen and creators such as myself and Steve Ditko and Names to Contra with came out of Charlton, even though they're defunct now. And those characters that were created there, they still exist now, DC acquired them. But they were such a fundamental little lynchpin in comic book history, but totally unknown. People have never heard of them. And when my friends Keith and Jackie decided to make this documentary, it was what they put together in the few minutes that they put together is really amazing. You saw it and you laughed. I dared you to watch it without laughing. I did laugh, but they're gonna give us a signal for a little break right here. And that'll keep everybody waiting on Tinder hooks because when we come back, I wanna talk about your criminal past. No. Yeah. So everybody stay tuned, we'll be right back.

The Cutting Edge Salon, located on the campus of Suncoast Technical College is a cut above. Welcome back, you're watching Suncoast Spotlight, courtesy of the Education Channel and Suncoast Technical College and the Sarasota County Film and Entertainment Office. I'm Jeannie Corker, your film commissioner. And with me is Bob Layton, legendary comic artist, writer, producer, oh, entrepreneur, filmmaker. An alleged criminal. An alleged criminal. I brought that up because I think it's such a funny story. Tell me that story, tell the viewers your story. To some degree, it's in the Charlton movie as well, but in part of it, they asked me if I would confess to have committing a felon on camera and of course I said, why not? Why not? Yeah, sure. The Statute of Limitations is long gone. Charlton didn't believe in the intrinsic value of original art. So at one point, this is in the 1970s, like 74, 75, right? They found out that they could get $5 a pound for bulk paper, so they decided they were gonna shred all the archives of art that they had. All the original artwork. By some of the great comic book illustrators of all time. So the assistant editor there, our friend of mine, Bill Pearson and I, we engineered a break-in and we stole all the original art out of the company and took it back, in fact, he had an old blue, like sky blue dodge dart and we had paper weighed so much that I think we broke the suspension on the very end of his car. But saved the artwork. We saved the artwork, so we spent months after that at Bill's place, shoving it into Manila envelopes and mailing it anonymously back to the artist who originally created it. It wasn't until like 20 or 30 years later that Steve Ditko, one of the artists who was working for me in Valiance, a long time I brought it up to him and he goes, so you're the one who sent that. He goes, I was always wondering where that artwork came from because they never had a policy of recording art. And the crazy thing is no one at Charlton even knew the stuff was missing. That's how much they didn't care. Didn't they use it for floor mats when it rained? Yeah, sometimes when it rained, they would take the original art pages and just throw them on the floor to soak up snow and rain and stuff like that. Mud and, wow. A Boy Scout troop would come in and it would just give them away. It's frightening to think about as a creator, but that was the difference between then and now. And one of your good friends who's actually visiting Sarasota at the same time, you are Skip Farrell, who was a comic publisher and worked with you on a variety of things. He has framed original artwork throughout his house, doesn't he? Skip has one of the largest art collections I've ever seen in my life. I don't know, you'd have to ask him exactly how many pieces he has, but yeah, it's amazing. But Skip's been a dear friend and, like you said, He has his own gallery.  Was that on graphic novels or comic books? Comic books. Well, we tried to beat the system. We actually came up with a business plan that would bypass the monopolistic distribution system of comics. But we were a little ahead of our time, because we were e-commerce in the early 2000s, right at the turn of the century, and things weren't really ripe for that at that point, because I also forgot how incredibly cheap comic book shops are. Yeah, most of those guys were not wired to the internet. They were still using a cigar box for a cash register, you know? So it was a good business model. Had a little addy machine. We were a little, we were the kind of Preston Tucker of our era. We were a little ahead of our time. Well, you're still ahead of the time.  This figure right here is probably the most used piece of merchandising that Marvel ever has. I'm thinking of an official king of Marvel merchandising. It's about like on 10,000 items. And tell me a little bit about Ant-Man, because that was an unexpected major hit, wasn't it? It was crazy, yeah, because my co-writer and I created Scott Lang, which was a new version of Hank Pym's character. And we did like a two-shot story, a two-part story, in a showcase book at Marvel called Marvel Premiere. Back, this is 1978, all right? So he appeared in only two issues. And that was it. We made him a supporting character in Iron Man, but not as Ant-Man. He was just there as Scott Lang. But the crazy thing was one of the kids who bought that book way back when was Edgar Wright, who on the basis of those two stories became inspired. And he decided that he wanted, when the time came around, he actually went to Marvel and pitched it. It's the only Marvel movie that was pitched outside of their docket, but he's Edgar Wright. I mean, he's done some of the great movies, recent memory. So to him, that was a labor of love, something that started all from those two issues, which is crazy to me, because we did it, it was nice when we went on. And I've signed more of those books now than I have in the 40 years since the book was published. And I go around the world now, and Ant-Man is, Scott Lang, Ant-Man, is like a huge phenomenon. And they're doing a sequel. Yeah. The movie was such a hit, they're doing a sequel. And it's like, you can knock me over with a feather, because it's just, it's not anything you would ever expect to happen. It's so strange. So you never know what you do will have some sort of lasting effect later, creative kids. So keep that in mind. Everything matters. And they're gonna make us take another break, but we'll be back shortly. And we're gonna talk about a few other things that you do. I want to learn about ROM. No. No, all right, maybe we won't. Stay with us, we'll be right back.

Career Source Suncoast is your one stop for career guidance and preparation. Welcome back to Suncoast Spotlight. We have with us Bob Layton, legendary comic artist and multifaceted talented guy. And you've just done so much, I'm not sure where to begin. You are still affiliated with Valiant, the one of the comic company that you help found and one of the owners of. Was she just there recently? Yeah, I was just at their offices a couple weeks ago because the 30th anniversary of being one of the founders, the 30th anniversary is coming up in about a year and a half and they kind of wanted me to come back and do something. Plus the new kids there have never met one of the founders and they kind of thought it would be nice for me to come into the office of New York and do that. When you mentioned Ram, what I do from time to time, I don't really work in comics anymore, but what I do from time to time is because I do have a fan base out there and I kind of miss it occasionally.  And usually it's for some sort of special project. The guys at IDW, they approached me about Ram because Ram Space Night was a book based on a toy long ago at Marvel, but it was a fairly popular book and I used to be the regular cover artist on it. So when IDW got the rights to revive it, they came to me and said, hey, look, you're one of the original guys on it. Would you do a cover for us? So I did that. So you're into a lot of projects kind of stick to you forever. Are you? They come and go and come back to visit. I have two major legacies in comics. I have obviously this guy and then I have Valiant. So this guy, my legacy with him was pretty secure, but Valiant again is a company that's burgeoning. It's growing, the new Valiant's very different than my original company, but they're making great strides and I'm friends with everybody up there. It's like, so it's important to me that they succeed. So whatever I can do to help, you know, lend myself to them to help them do that, I'm more than willing to. But although I've left comics, I never totally leave. There's always a little part of me that wants to go back and do a little something now and then, so. Right, it's true. That's where Ram came from. So you made a really interesting comment in one of the places I've heard you speak where you said how the culture wars have turned out. Tell me a little bit about your feeling on who won the culture wars. Well, that's how I met James, you know? In a lot of ways, because what happened was, I was living here in Florida at the time, okay? Because Skipp and I just shut down future comics and I was back at freelancing and then the word came that Marvel was about to produce Iron Man and then I got a request to come out there and work on the movie. Because you recreated the character? Yeah, basically. Completely redesigned it. The Iron Man before I came along was basically Marvel couldn't give the book away, you know? And it was one of those things where I turned it into what, you know, in the movies, the Rockstar, Tony Stark, and all the different armors and I created Rowdy and Justin Hammer and all those characters. So when it went out there, the first thing I realized after being out there a few weeks is that every producer, everybody out there was a comic geek, you know? They were all, the reason why comic movies and TV shows are exploding is because this is the material that they grew up on. And that's what they go to plum now, you know? It's like you think about in the 90s, everything in Hollywood was remakes of old TV shows because back then those producers, that's what they grew up on. So they did Bewitched and Beverly Hillbillies and Dukes of Hazard and all that kind of stuff. This generation grew up with comic books and I realized when I was out there, and I didn't tend to stay, but I realized that everyone knew who I was. And I said, well, this seems like a golden opportunity. I don't really have to break down doors to get meetings. You know, this one, I should take advantage of it. So I stayed. Right, when we come back from our next break, we're gonna talk about where you're headed with your next movie based on a comic book character that is sort of a cult favorite, but maybe the people watching haven't heard of it before, right? No. Yes, of course. So we're gonna come back shortly, stay with us and learn more.

Welcome back, you're watching Suncoast Spotlight and our guest Bob Layton is gonna talk about more comic books but also about movies and TV and things that are being adapted from comic books as well as characters he's created that may become a comic book after they become a movie. Right at the same time. Or at the same time, simultaneously. Tell me about Shambler. Can you talk about it? I can talk a little bit about it. Shambler was a project that started years ago in Hollywood that was actually funded and then there's one of the things we went into pre-production and the company who was funding us went under. Which is, James can tell you, is a common story, okay? Well that's what builds success. People who truly succeed, entrepreneurs that really succeed, they fail multiple times because that's where they learn what works and what doesn't work and they improve every single time. Everybody knows the story of Rocky. He couldn't, seven years, he couldn't get it made, and then finally gets it made and wins the Academy Award. I saw an interview about Deadpool and they said it took seven or nine years. Yeah, well, funny you mentioned it because Shambler very much is in the vein of Deadpool that was actually created before Deadpool. But through the ages, they've done modern day adaptations of werewolves and vampires and Frankenstein but they've never done a modern day mummy that wasn't based on old Egypt or anything like that. So the Shambler is kind of a punk rock mummy movie where he's wrapped in crime scene tape and the whole tagline is he's a walking crime scene but he's kind of a monster hero. It's done, I love horror comedies, okay? You look at stuff like James Gunn did with Slyther or whatever, stuff like that. I love stuff like that or Evil Dead 2, that kind of thing. So Shambler's very much in that vein that it's a lot of laughs, a lot of violence, a lot of laughs. But that was a huge market. I mentioned a lot of laughs. A lot of laughs. Okay, so we're gonna make that right here in Florida. That's exciting. It's gonna be great. And timing is one of those things you hear so much about either your timing's good, your timing's bad or the timing was perfect or you were in the right time at the right place. We were talking about Hercules. When you started the Hercules series, it actually got ahead of the curve in terms of coming out before Wolverine, right? Well, the thing was Marvel wanted to create the first miniseries in comic history. Up to that point, every comic that was ever produced was an ongoing thing. They had an idea of doing contained stories. There was something they, a package they wanted to experiment with. So they asked, two people asked me and they asked Frank Miller. Oh, Sin City, right. Yeah, Sin City's Frank Miller, but this was early, young Frank Miller and young Bob Layton, basically to create the first two miniseries in Marvel history. And I happened to be faster than Frank. So. You were the first to finish the miniseries. But I was also writer-artist. I was doing everything on it. So it was a one-man band kind of thing. But yeah, so I actually got the credit as the first miniseries in comic book history because I actually finished mine two weeks earlier than Frank's, so they were able to publish it first. Right. But as I said, Wolverine actually sold better. Yes, Wolverine is better remembered. But Hercules is an iconic historic mythological character, comic book character, feature film, TV shows. But he was never a major character in the Marvel Universe. And my thought was to create something that was relevant and bring him into that because they already had Thor, but they didn't have anything from the Greek pantheon of characters. But mine turned out to be a space opera with him being drunk and hanging out with a robot in a transvestite. Oh, sounds completely like historical Hercules. No, I'm just kind of a Barbarella fan.  Are you listening to that, ladies?  It's time the women had something to root for. But over the years, I've done over 900 pages of Hercules stuff. I would go back and I would do another miniseries and I'd go back and do a grabbing novel and I'd go back and do another miniseries. And I would just kind of keep that little space saga going, you know? Which was way fun, but it was very tongue-in-cheek. I love doing comedies, and I'm sure... And Sapptire and parody, all right. You know me, it's like, I'm not a very serious person. You know that.  You take your work seriously. Yeah, but I like to make people laugh. So a lot of my movies will have comedy elements to them without a doubt. Right, and we're gonna have you speaking at other places in Sarasota County and people will be hearing more and more about your career and your accomplishments and they'll hear some of what you said here today in more detail. I think we are gonna take a break, but then we'll be back to close the show. So stay with us, don't go away.

Welcome back, you're watching Suncoast Spotlight, courtesy of the Education Channel and Suncoast Technical College and the Sarasota County Film and Entertainment Office. I'm your host, Jeannie Corcoran, the film commissioner for your region and my wonderful guest today, Bob Layton. Too many talents to list in the closing portion of our show, but if you've been watching, you know the list is long and you travel all the time. Tell me about your travels. Well that's one of the things about my job that I love the most, you know, because the phenomenon of comic book conventions has exploded all over the world. I mean, one of the great things now with Iron Man and Ant-Man being such international phenomena is because Iron Man is huge in China and it's like huge in Japan and all around the world that just amazes me. I mean, next year I'm going to New Delhi, India and to St. Petersburg, Russia, you know, all because of the phenomenon of Iron Man and Ant-Man and the Avengers stuff. But for me, you know, too, I love traveling. I'm one of those glutton's for punishment. I really love to travel. So in fact, next week after we're done here with this event, I'm off to Scotland.  And you don't get jet lag. No, not really. But it's so much fun to meet people who've been reading this stuff, printed another language. It's for 40 years, you know, and they're so excited when they finally get a chance to meet you in person. And I love that. I love it because I can go visit a city in a foreign country and people come to me. They come to see me. So it's not like I have to go out and find them. They come to me and they tell me where to go and what's good, exactly what I need to see. And you know, it's amazing for now. I mean, the love I feel from the fans is amazing. And the fact that I get to see really interesting places and they pay for them, I mentioned that. They pay for everything. We have a very interesting clip. I hope they can roll it in here of you many years ago at an early signing and appearance and then you have a mustache. That cheesy mustache.  Yes, I know. I don't know where my videographer, Jason, found that at. But I'm like, really? This is the clip you found with the cheesy mustache. I obviously had no self-awareness at that point. Actually, you were just, you were in the trend of the era. Oh, I was. You look hip back then. I think I was 25. So you're just gonna be making movies in the Tampa Bay area.  Who knows? You've got a busy time ahead. My biggest problem with the comics to film, okay? Let's say right now, as we were talking about earlier with Skip and James, that the comic book phenomenon, the characters have never been more popular, but the comic books aren't the place where people are jumping on. That's not the starting point for them now. You mean the print. The print medium. It's Arrow, it's the Avengers movie. It's Iron Man and it's, you know, it's not Batman v Superman, but, you know, it's like. No fans of Michael. No, yeah, no fans of Michael. But I'm just saying it's that popular culture in film and television, Daredevil and Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Even the secret agents of Marvel. Yeah, agents of Marvel. Shield, right?  It's a whole different thing. But if those people are interested in the comics and they go by some odd chance, find a comic book shop, the comics are totally different than the movie and TV properties. So it's one of those things where the colors and cups don't match, where people go to get more of what they saw on TV and it doesn't bear any resemblance to it at all. There's a disconnect between the two industries. So, you know, my idea was to basically create properties for film or for television, but release the comic book simultaneously and the fact that it's exactly like the show, you know? And video games, they're doing a lot of that, video game releases that are simultaneous to major film. That's the mobility that I will have. That's the agility I will have here in Florida to do something like that. Well, we're looking forward to it. And we really just so appreciate you having been here, Bob. Thank you for being such a good sport. I always love chatting with you. If they gave you an Academy Award for being a good sport, Bob would get it. So, you've been great. Thanks for being with us. And to all of you watching, tune in to Suncoast Spotlight next time and enjoy more wonderful people like this. Thanks for being here.
