The Ben 10 Podcast That Nobody Asked For

22. The Left-handed Shall Inherit The Earth

“Was Ponce de León Cool?”

Do you wanna hear about Ben 10? Well tough, we’re talking about the CW’s Arrowverse now. Maybe you’ll hear the odd tidbit hear and there about the show this podcast is named for, but they’ve got other things to talk about. For instance, they need to discuss very important things like spelling, real-world weddings, and handwriting, so be quiet and be happy with what you get. Also, Nat continues to be relegated to a simple person-who-listens-as-synopsis-is-read. But don’t worry, he’s taking it like a champ.

Season 4,

Welcome back to the Bintim Podcast that nobody asked for. I am Nat. I'm Sam. I'm James. I'm Joe. I'm Bailey. I'm Izzy. Season 4, episode 3. Don't drink the water. Hex is after the Fountain of Youth. Grandpa Max and Ben both experience the effects of its waters. They have to stop Hex from getting the fountain and regaining his youth and full powers. Why would they put... If you don't want people to drink it, don't sit up a boot and if you... He doesn't need to have that. It doesn't need to be there. I have a theory. Tell us. Of why it's there. And that is... I think there might be a select couple people that are allowed to go through a process of getting it. And that's how he distributes it. Do you think that's how he distributed it to Hex? Because he's obviously given it to Hex before. No, no, no. To do an older, though, old man and the shop at the start of the episode. Yeah. I think that's how he distributes it because he doesn't want to take them to the location. So they steal it. Right, but he lives on a farm that isn't the location or is at least not next to it directly. Yeah, yeah, but that's where he lives. So he goes to an area that's... A public area. Listen, Matt, listen up. A kind of booth that people are known to get into. Do you want to go talk to the creators of the show? I'd love to talk to them. Can we get them on? And even then he was banking on both kids missing the official. It was like, you know, they did. But like, one hit. Do you remember Matt's hands them a ginormous wad of cash? Yeah, and then it's one challenge. Yeah, so even for an eternal man, Cash talks. Cash talks a lot. Cash talks. What was that? They said that it was like season one, episode two. Well, was that unless you pony up to green. Yeah, pony up to green. That's a bit did. And it's like, unless you talk pony up to green. It's been six months since you've paid rent. Oh, my money goes to research. So we've talked about popping caps and asses and pony in the green. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Great crazy. It came out into early 2000s. Like, it's been 33 hours since we saw that episode. Still feels like 10 minutes ago. Still feels actually this yesterday. Well, it was. The time is currently 6.39 p.m. Wow. This was a fun one. Yeah, it was really fun. As I get older and you start to have those things. Oh, man, you wish you could go back to your... Even at the age of 25, you wish you could go back to your time at the teenager and stuff. It's like grandpa Max just experiencing that stuff of like... Oh, Max. It's ten. It's ten. Oh, man, this thing was not as heavy. I didn't realize it was as heavy. And then just like some other things are black. We're going to go skateboarding instead of doing this world-saving thing. All these asses pre-frontal cortex. No, yeah, exactly. Exactly. No, I'd love to. We have all that and I'm still not thinking straight. I did love how intelligent he was, just spinning all these things that we haven't at the show. And he goes, "But first, me and Ben are going skateboarding." Yeah, yeah. The other great thing about it as well is he's doing all that and then he's wearing Ben's collar. And like we were saying, he loves it. Yeah, he does. He does. Buzzcutt, yeah, tucked in. I wonder if he was drafted. We don't have to go that deep. He probably was. He probably was. I think he would have been just too young for Ben. No, actually. He's 60. Well, if he was 60. This was around... You said it was slightly after 2010. If we're saying this episode takes place in 2005 when the first season came out and was there. Which I don't think. I think the Ben 10 universe is 10 to 20 years in our future. Really? I mean, we're living in town. So I just... The future's now old man. The military have laser technology. They have laser technology. They have laser technology. But that's the point. I think it's in the not too distant future. Apparently he was formerly in the United States Air Force. Oh, good for him. That said, because he's an astronaut. And NASA used to primarily get their astronauts from the United States Air Force. Ronan, who doesn't currently feel old. I believe it was April 24, 2020. Or 2024 that the Flash originally went missing. Yes, yes it was. Yeah. Don't you... Is it so confused? CW show. That came out like started 2014, 13. 14. Yeah, it was 10 years in the future. I watched the first four seasons. And then it just became harder to watch because it became harder to find. And it also just was... It was... It was some of the way. I enjoy it until Crysis will open at Earth. So are you called now? And so I watched Arrow all the way through. I fell off of Supergirl, start of third season, legends. I meant to start Season 4 and never get around to it. But I hung onto Flash and Arrow until Crysis. And then Crysis was just such a massive letdown. And I'm like, oh, I was holding onto it because a part of me was like certain this was... This was going to make it worth it. It didn't. Seeing Kevin Connery in live action as A. Bruce Wayne was cool. Yeah. Even though his... Bruce Wayne was big. Yeah. Although I will just say... He had a few cool lines. All of her cool lines. I will just say out of all the sh*t that CW birthed. Superman and Lois is such a fantastic show. How does CW show? Well, it's... It's... It's... It's CW and Max, right? Wasn't there a collaboration? No, it's... It's an HBO Max show that was broadcast on the CW. There's one more season. No, when the CW was involved in the CW did not produce it. They just broadcast it. Okay. But obviously it was pulling characters from the CW show. It's for the first season. Well, yeah. All of the Queen dying had me in tears at one point. Oh, yeah. After watching... After starting Arrow in like 2012 or 13 and watching for all those years and stuff and becoming quite a sec... He got jacked. He's still jacked. Yeah. He's still jacked. He's still jacked. Hey, baby alien. Oh, yes. Okay. So anyway, off the side, Ted. He'd last. We got some baby aliens. It's so very critical. Wow. He'd last was amazing. Dude, cute, cute. I think... Yeah, I think he'd last. He'd last was... It's a four-year-old. Four-year-old. Four-year-old. Four-arms. Look. So... Gangly? Yeah. He'd look like a teenager. He's a link. Yeah. Or maybe... Maybe because he's... He's been as normal. He's in turns into four-arms and then he turns into eight. Maybe the four-arms, he was still like... A teenager. So... But even then... So you're saying he's going from ten, so like four-arms at that point might be like seven. Oh. Well, even... Even if... Even if... That's... Four at that age. Like, four-arms been ten version, like, being ten. It's so massive that, you know... That match sort of... That much of a D.H. makes sense to be a teenager. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. But even then, the aliens are meant to be at his age. Well, yeah. That is a... They're kind of... A lot of them clearly aren't. I think... Different aging. Yeah. Yeah. I think four-arms race just ages really quickly to adulthood and then just lives for a very long time. Maybe. I suppose you could say all the aliens are different ages, but just the same amount of time is taken off. Yeah. Yeah. But, hey... It's a riotous problem. But, hey... Sorry. I do not factor that into the design of the aliens in any way. It's just like, this looks cool. It turns into this... I'm so sad that we didn't even see a baby with this. What was... That would be... What if it was a tadpole? Oh! That would be adorable. A tadpole with a little anglefish like... And like, two teeth. Aww. Make it more frog-like. Like, still has like the giant mouth and it's just tiny legs, tiny arms. That would be good. Still as vicious. What was the aliens' name that Ben says? Stinky fly? No, no, no. And he's like, I'm going to get all this and it sounds really baby-ish. Like, he can't pronounce it. Yeah, well... Oh, he tries to say go in here while you're walking. That was funny. He was so cute. Yeah, we'd supernova with, uh, with flittle with his rice. Yeah. It's true that we all turned into a tantrum. We'd get a nice little play on words there. If it all for you all to have a mouth down, it's like... Mmm. Mmm. And adults do too. How did you want to finish that thought about arrow before I so rudely cut you off ass? No, no. No, that's a... Um... Just... Just somewhere along the line, yeah, like, Supergirl lost me after season two. Yep. Legends of tomorrow I really liked, but that lost me after season two or three. Mmm. Uh, they just kept adding in different people and taking people out and killing and all this other stuff. It just really, it just was a whole mess. Yeah. Just a whole mess in the end. But, you know, one consistent thing was, uh, I never lost faith in an arrow and I'm glad I didn't lose faith in an arrow. Yeah. And saving a male is... Jax and the best is the goat. The whole, the whole thing with Flash was, it was really, it was really interesting, but it was like season one. Flash versus speeder. Oh, this is awesome. Season two. Flash versus speeder. Okay, I like this. They've changed it. Season three. Flash versus speedster. What was season four? Flash versus speedster. No, it wasn't. Wasn't it? It was the thing, yeah. I thought season four was in versus himself. That was season three. Yeah, the seven towers of really confusing plot line that really did nearly lost me, nearly lost me. It was just because it was so confusing. The Flash, I can show up every single drama scene in the Flash by going, "I need to get faster." Because he says that line multiple times. I need to get faster. Where the Flash, Barry? Iris sucks. And Ben Harrison-Rell is run, Barry. Run, Barry. Believe in yourself, Barry. You can do it. And then he does. Feel the electricity. Wait, how do you even know? As Harrison-Rell is all the different versions of Harrison-Rell. Oh, listen. Or when he's playing Ivar-Borne, pronounces some lines in the strangest of ways. His bed whisper voice. It is his voice. Oh, God. Whisper voice. Barry! And then he's like, "Whoa, why are you saying it?" Why are you saying it? Why are you saying it? Like that, bro. Calm down. Do you get paid enough of this? It sounds like you're standing 20 meters away from the dude and you're whispering like this and you're a bad guy for his salary. It's not quite because Barry has. But also, he's a magnificent, gravel entorado. Yeah. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. Barry. And then he wasn't. And then he's not. Yeah. People having fun outside. That's a whole new show. What are they doing? It's a sound wall. You are committing the war crime. Oh, God. What? What? What? What? The I just did? Store a knot for a podcast. Cool. Moving on. It went as good anything. Pons to Leon. So this guy ran with Pons to Leon in the day. Was he not? I remember my history. Right. Pons to Leon was kind of terrible. Is that not how history remembers him now? That's how history remembers him. History is going to remember him. But the Spaniards who came to America and did a lot of awful stuff. Was Pons to Leon not one of them? I don't talk about the Spanish alive. John. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. I don't know. I don't know. Pons to Leon was about the expedition. Google. Was Pons to Leon cool? Was he chill? Do you want me to run out of chill? Could he hang? Could he hang? Oh, could he? Maybe. Ah, yes. That's actually how we evolved. The mushroom thing. We don't talk about hell. Oh, yeah. I like the mushroom thing. Yes. Oh, don't worry. I can't stop. I can read brilliantly. I don't know if I have a weird version of dyslexia or something. I just can't stop. Yeah. I can imagine. I have a theory about why a lot of people these days can't smell very well. And that's because we've used our phones so much that have audio correct. Like back before phones, I could spell anything. At any time, I was draft. No, don't do this to me right now. I said before. Yeah, before. But now you just auto correct, does it for you? You don't need to know how to spell. I have a distinct memory that's haunted me since years seven. I spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to spell the word off. I ended up spelling it O-V-E. I've had that experience. We were writing essays. I get to one word. Like I wrote a grad essay up until that point and I just spent 10 minutes here at the page going, how do you spell off? Walked out of the class? Oh. Oh, yeah. What am I doing? I used to forget how old I was. Oh. Well, and that's really difficult for us because you, you know, for half a year, you can just say the year that we're in. But also, it's the thing where I would spend like, I was spending like half an hour. Someone asked me and I was like, I'm, I'm, hang on, it's this or I'm definitely not this. And I was, it was like half an hour. I sat there just trying to think. It was a difficult time. Yeah. For, for the left handed people in the room, did you ever have times when? Yeah, I love it. Wait, wait, wait. We still owe it to her. Yeah. Hell yeah. Let's go. Okay. So this is all that can have bitches, uh, so two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. Yeah. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So one non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So two non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So three non-lips. So four non-lips. Look for alien wedding. Very nice. Oh no! Okay. I'll do it. No, I thought you were going to do your little intro. I thought you were going to do your little intro bit. Oh, we got to do that every second one because I'm editing them together. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Are we going to pass around there? Do you want to do the next two? Yeah. The next episode. Yeah. Okay. Okay. No. Mine is less, I guess. Not. Season 4 episode 4, big fat alien wedding. Ben, Gwen and Max attend a family wedding in which there was much more than meets the eye. Does everyone have a good dinner? The different light they dinner. I don't know why it was so hard to not laugh just in. I don't know. I think it was the thumbs up because it's not like quiet on set. Love a wedding. Yeah. Love a wedding. Love a wedding. I went to two weddings in April. I went to one. I'm not trying to answer that. Was your experience similar to the one that they had in this episode? There was no fighting. Oh, was there a weird underlying racism? Yeah. Was anyone? Was anyone called a mud alien? Well, I would say the first wedding I went to was probably predominantly white and then the second wedding was predominantly Maori. So I got the best of both worlds. You got the best of both worlds. How do you think? How do you think the wedding that we both went to? Yeah. How do you think that bride and groom would have responded to an alien invasion on their wedding day? I think they would have welcomed it. And then probably and then and then and then Ida would have been like either you're here to party and we can party. Or if you're here to mess it up, I'm going to kick your ass. And if you're here to party, you better pour some good space. And yes. And then if Ida would have kicked their asses, Sam would have been in the corner going like, that's going to be my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That's my wife. That was brilliant wedding. Other Sam. Yeah. Not this thing. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Sam. A separate person. Yeah. But that was a fun little episode. I remembered everything that happened so vividly. I did not remember that episode at all. Don't you? Oh no. Oh no. Oh sorry. I was going to say the one out of it. I'm recording Booth. You could have gone with so many other jokes there. But you chose cinema. This is cinema. I feel like cinema. This is a dining room. Yeah. So this is a Wendy's. This is a bathtub. Sorry. Are there any sharks in a bathtub? No, I can't admit that those are gonna make the father of Jack Campbell. Okay. Great call. All right. All right. I'm happy that there was dimorphism in the aliens. In that episode, all of the girl mud aliens had antennas and different patterns throughout their bodies. How do you know if it's a girl house? It's just an extra career. It's got UVs. It was interesting how all the other aliens turn into like big like massive versions and in the one that's getting married turns into the stereotypical. It's an alien woman, but we saw in the flashbacks that she was originally a big like the Owens and then the first thing she did was transform into a more humanly shape and I think that's personal preference. Probably. Yeah. They seem to be able to do that. And they can also change color. Yeah. Yeah. All their clothes are made out of them. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just that when they like, yeah, I think she has to, you know, turn into the purple version because that's the only way they can actually do this. Because yeah, no point was any of their moving sludge, not purple. I disagree with that. There's a scene where I think it's like the brother-in-law where he goes to punch someone and his arm goes like fully stretchy man style. He comes and does, doesn't it? And his full color. I rescind my previous statement. Hey, you think they're going to do continuity with Ben Tint? You think it's going to make sense? Stop being mean to what was my thing for a bit. Ben Tint was one of my phases. Ben Tint was my phase before Doctor Who. We're all well aware. I've been over to the Doctor Who phases last time. It's not a phase. It's not a phase. It's a way of life for you. After Doctor Who phase started the, what's it called? Star Trek. Star Trek became a prevalent feature in my life and it almost kind of overwhelmed everything but Doctor Who was just always on the periphery there. Bless you. Bless you. Doctor Who was always on the periphery. That was a Dan's niece. Doctor Who was always on the periphery and then eventually just came back in full force. Stop being mean to Ben Tint. We're not being mean to Ben Tint. We're being mean to Ben Tint writers. Yeah, we're being mean to the Ben Tint writers. He was talking about coloring. I reckon they wrote underneath and his arm stays full color. For Ben. Anyone else? Oh, I'd love to grandpa Max's little story with the tuxedo. Tragedy in three parts. I like the little guns that they had where it's just a tube, clicks it and it transforms out into a pistol. I didn't promise anything. I'm freaking cumbersome. It's the most American thing possible. He's like, "I'm acting so damn awesome." I'm going to pop a cap. It's very much of the like, "yes, yes, but I didn't say so." I need to know if Grandpa Max is from Tennessee. Because he's the only tin I see. I think Grandpa Max did a really good part. I said it before, I'll say it again. So the moment we know that you go after Ken and Bulb and six-year-old men. Wow. Why are you doing this to me? He's not doing anything to you. He's doing it to his own world wars. He's still a living. Maybe I won't put this on the internet. This is just for us. Yeah, maybe not those things. Maybe our three listeners don't need to know this about me. I know what you do. It's been brought up in other episodes as well. We have three listeners. It's Julie Bob and Gertrude. They're very near and dear to our hearts. Oh, fabulous. Gertrude 67. She was a gymnast in her youth. Wow. Like when? Oh, yeah. I want to say like Ben too, he seems far too athletic to not have done something. Well, like, does athletic ability from him being the aliens and doing shit in the alien form transfer back? Like the bleeding effect? I don't think so. I think he just has done like, explication like before. He's done like extracurricular gymnasts. Maybe a bit of gymnasts, I think. It's never brought up though. He did baseball. It's one episode where he jumps like just five feet straight up on the given spot. To be fair. To be fair. To be fair. Kids are climbing and jumping. Like Daniel, kids, and hops. They can't beat the world record for high jump. Most of the time, maybe. Yeah, proportionally, maybe. proportionally, they've hit us. I'm just saying, I was pretty good at high jump in primary school. That's all I'm saying. That's really cool, Joe. High jump was awesome. Did you get a 39-vert? No. I was just concentrating on first place. And you got it. Last episode, we ran a little long. At one point. Is there anything else people want to say about this episode we just watched so met in so we can maybe get back on track? We love wins. We love wins. That is love is love is love is love. Oh, yeah. So, you're instructing. You're instructing the bride's parents. And then the bride appears and goes, "Aw, cake." Aw. It's a bit big for us so much. That's your parents. Most of those weddings I went to, I didn't get to eat any cake. No. That's quite a jerk. So, at the wedding, the wedding we weren't going to, the jelly never got brought out. Yeah, true. I ate some of it at the end when we were cleaning up. They're like, "It's all going to go on the bin. Does anyone want it?" And I just like... I got to have some of the cake that was very nice. It was a nice cake. Yeah. Too busy packing up. Packing up, hardly packing. No, I had a journey to reception in it. When it was, when it was... No, I know. I know. I know. That's a really funny joke. Like, I've had a lot of flops in this podcast. Make up your heads. Just with you. As your spot. Yeah. So, it's barely wicked out. The lesson of today's episode was love always wins. On the next one.
