Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now comes one of those challenging topics on the electric
radio because of Involse comic books. Rock O Jerome has
returned to the scene of the crimes.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good see that's me, buddy. I'm all out of breath
because I ran here from across the.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Block and you did tell me that you behind.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, sorry about that. I'm not in the greatest health,
believe it or not, Actually I am. I went to
the doctor acently and got a physical and everybody was
shocked at how healthy I am.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
And it was a real load off my mind. What
do you mean They gave you good numbers, like on
your heart and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah. The nurse she put the cuff on and did
the blood pressure and then she was like, huh what
you don't want to hear You don't want to.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Hear right, No, No, when you hear that, you think,
oh my god, I'll be dead next Wednesday, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Or even sooner.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
She took it off and she put it back on again,
and she did it again.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
She didn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
She didn't believe it. She said, you have perfect blood pressure, ah, right,
And I said, nobody's more surprised than me.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
That's a it's good to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, so I immediately went to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We always sweat out those doctor things, you know. I
did mine in December for the year. You gotta do
that for insurance and all that. And I'm like, yeah,
what about this? What about that? She was easy? Yeah,
you know, you know, you're you know, you're all right,
You're you know, I was there the year before she goes.
Your numbers are saying, yeah, you're all right, you're hanging.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's hard to shake them, you know, there's they see
a lot of crazy stuff in the day.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I guess so that's true. So where has your
mind gone since we last spoke? Roco? You were here
how many months ago?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Was that? What like three or four months ago?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
With the ghost agents and you had Frey of the
Sleigh with you. But I heard she's not available to
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, I get to give a shout out to Frey.
She's not feeling well, she's got food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But as tough as she is, a big, fancy, nicktime
wrestler like her, I didn't think she would just you know,
she would just tell illness to go.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You would think an Amazonian woman could just eat like
a hot dog she finds on the ground, you know.
But it turns out food poisoning can get any of us.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
She is tough and she's gorgeous, and she's chronicled in
your Ghost Agents. So what is that a whole series?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah? I just keep doing them. I'm making them one
after the other, you know what I'm saying. And we
do kickstarter campaigns. When we were here last time, that's
what was going on. It was successful. Thank you for
your help with that, having your son. And now this
new one is out so people can buy it even
if they didn't jump in the kickstarter.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
This big one, this both of them, the.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Big one there collects a bunch of the stuff to date.
That's also got a little bit of Frey in it,
a little picture at the back, and it's it's loaded up.
You can you can get that from from me. At
my party on Wednesday night seven to ten at Ricky
B's Club Cafe, We're having a Ghost Agent social as
I like to call it. You can come out and
(02:52):
hang out, enjoy some some nice music. Is Ricky B.
Tinkles the Ivories of course, sing some sing some pop
standards for it.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He's the best.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
He truly is he's a great guy. I love Ricky.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, So what do you do? You you wake up
in the middle of the night and you have an
idea and then and then you just say something into
your phone to collect the note, and then the next
day you wake up gone, it wasn't so great that happens.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
There's a lot of dream dreams that come to me
that sometimes I'll write them down and I sometimes they're
good and sometimes.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They're it don't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I had one a couple of weeks ago where I
looked at it the next day and it said, uh,
Mexican loo Forigno. Okay, somehow that made sense to me.
It made sense to you in the middle of the
night three am. You said it on your your notes,
and I was like, I will remember this Mexican loo
(03:48):
for rig now. And then you woke up and said,
what Mexican? That one got away from me, Terry.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You were lucid at that time right in your dream.
It made that idea went back to the ether. It's gone.
Do you sit at a like an easel like an
artist does?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
No? You know what I do? So what I find
I got a bunch of different artists that work in
this thing, and I find them on social media. They're
like all over the planet, actually, you know. And when
I see somebody's art that I like, I hit them
up and say, nice work. You want to get paid
to do it? They usually say yes, it's a pretty
good offer. Most comic book writers don't come like that.
They usually are like, we'll see, maybe i'll pay you something.
(04:24):
I make sure they get some bread out of the exchange,
you know. Then I ask them what they like to
draw and what they don't like to draw. The popular
things people don't like to draw horses and motorcycles. Horses
and motor systems.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, too complex.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Horses, they got that long face. You know, there's a
lot to get wrong between the eye and the snoot, right,
there's a lot of ground to cover, a lot of
different ways and means. And then a motorcycle like the
tires this a way or that a way, and it's
hard to nail it down.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So then I have a little Delta eight gummy which
is totally leg of course, and then I just see
where the night takes me, and.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I got you to write something. And the ghost Agents
are a group of like superheroes or what.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Are they not really like superheros. They're like they're actually
other people's intellectual property that I've ripped off. Okay, a
couple of little things. Yeah, this will show up in
a court case at some point. At the ere it
gets really successful. But it's like, you know, what if
Bruce Lee was not just called that? What if it
was called something else? You know, it's you know, it's
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I get the premise that way.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, but a lot of ideas are like that. Man.
The first Batman comic was totally a rip of a
shadow story.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, it's an adaptation of a concept. Somebody say that,
you know, they put a different jacket on it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, and you know, not like it's like high literature
or anything. But the fifty Great fifty Shades of Gray books,
those were Twilight fan fiction that that woman just changed
some names.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You know, that seemed to have worked out for her.
She's okay, Well, how do people get ghost agents your
your comic books?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well you can go to ghost age in stott Nets.
That helps, That's one way to do it. They got
him at the Great Escape, Louisville's best comic book shop,
no doubt about that. I said it and I mean it. Uh.
And then party on Wednesday at Ricky B's Club Cafe.
We're gonna have a great time on Laura Brownsboro Road. Yeah, yeah,
it's cool. Have you been in that building?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Mary and I have been in there a bunch. It's cool, right,
it's we drop in there sometimes for a night cap
on the way home from man. Ricky's in there singing.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Perfect place for it. I mean, it's like something out
of a movie.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It is. It's exactly what it's like. You know, people
at the bars kind of like that story Billy Joel
tells in Piano the piano Man. Everybody at the bar's
got a story and this. Yeah, and his name's Davy.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah. I bet I bet he does that song too.
I bet I bet Rick Barley can sing the Jesus
out of that song. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He's good, though, real, he's great. He's just throwing out
there and boom he's on it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know. So that's a good place to have a party.
What time do this thing start?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Seven to ten? Come by anytime. I'll have books, posters, stickers, magnets, toys, uh,
you know, I mean upholstery.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
What about Frey is she going to.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Be there, I hope. So I hope she's over at
some of.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
These uh these drawings, these renderings. I guess it might
be based on her.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, So the character Donna Princess existed before I knew
Freyo was a person. It's kind of what's wildcause we
were doing these comics for a couple of years and
I went to ov W and here's this like statuesque
Amazonian woman with black hair, and uh, Donna's Greek uh
and and and Freya kind of has somewhat similar features.
(07:36):
And she kicked another woman right in the face. And
that's when I knew Terry. I was like, that's Donna
Princess right there, the real life. So then over the
course the next several months, every time I would see
her at her merch table at ov W after the matches,
I would just buy like one of everything, like give
me this sticker and this sticker on that T shirt
(07:56):
right to kind of like get to get to be
in her good graces, you know. And then like the
fourth time that I did that, I was like, so listen,
I got a comic book. Because you don't lead with that, No,
you can't. Because she thinks he's a nut. You don't
start there, no, no, come on, it's that's that's that's.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
She's heard everything. She's celebrity, she's heard everything, you know.
And I mean he's stunning. Yeah when you see her,
she's very striking.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
She sure is. I'm sorry she couldn't make and I'm bummed.
I feel like I bait and switched you, But I
promise you she's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Well, Frey and I are buddies. Now you introduced me
to her before.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So anyway, so you sent her photos to your buddy
and Taiwan or somewhere, and he drew those.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Well, my friend Matt Simpson was the guy that took
these pictures. But what's crazy is the artist on that
is a guy called ken Landgraft. It's kind of a
legendary comic book guy. He's been around for a lot
of years. He actually drew that book before he knew
about Freya. Wow in that wild because look how much
that resemblest. I know. It's a trip.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, stunning.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I mean, it's sometimes life just like you know, it
tosses you a golden egg.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, it happens. Thanks ghost agents available now at would
you say ghost Agent.
