Alright Raj, it's over..you can knock it off.

It is over...ladies and gentlemen, my first major failure since joining SHoE...unless you count the time I said the episode number wrong...then there's the whole echo thing...Of course, some people would count not going to ComiCon as a failure on my part...
WOW. I screw up a LOT.

I just want to thank Derek for letting me be a part of the podcast...HIS first real failure on the show.

i actually thought the episode was uncomfortably fun to listen to. I wish it would have gone on, but I understand why you had to put it to a stop. I still want to know what the repercussions are going to be for who ever loses the trivia game. I think you both should be put on double secret probation for pulling the plug on the SHoE-a-mania II.

It was a good idea for the summer, but alas it wasn't meant to be.

Even though its over can Derek and Steve keep there captain steve and iron derek armor?

I knew it was the summer joke and I'm sorry it had to be put down like Ol Yeller... but it's sad that Steve not going to Comic Con was not part of the joke. You have to go sir... your fans demand it.

I'm with Jason. Whats the point of even going if theres not gonna be any karaoke?

You are so dramatic..

lol right on Jen.

Can I just say. I listened to the show and at first I didn't believe it.

Especially after the 'phoning it' in Joke. I was like here we go this is all an act. I listened all the way thinking 'now they're gonna crack' and say it was all a joke.

But some of the words were so harsh and it all seemed all so cold.

One of my favorite things in the show is the humor. I also really love the banter. So I still thought that it was a joke.

Last time it all seemed so much fun, This came from no where. Then I thought back to the shows when they would both tease each other. Maybe there was more to that.

My the end I was convinced that it was all real. but I was wondering why they did the show at all if they hated each other so much.

I really love the show and all I was really really shocked about was how so much animosity built up and will there be more podcasts now.


I kept checking back on the forums to see if others here knew it was a joke.


Phew!

First it should be known that this apology can't and won't be as humorous as Steve's apology to Derek.

I wanted to reach an olive branch out to the guys, on behalf of us that reacted negatively to this past podcast. To tell you the truth I've enjoyed the civil war in the forums, the only reason I hadn't picked a side is I've been legitimately torn. I'm a diehard moleman but strongly believe that Steve's pie is the best dessert to happen to SHoE since prepackaged jello. I did not however like the transition over to the podcast. I think it could have worked if treated more lightheartedly and I've since realized how it most likely would have ended and now I feel even more bad that its over. But the important thing is not if the war goes on or if it's truly over.

The important thing is that Derek and Steve know we do love Starkville's House of El and it's hosts past and present. So guys please don't take negative comments personally and know your fans would follow you into battle real or otherwise.

well said Man or Supes.

I really hate to break it to you guys like this...

Its all another set up! Derek is a Skrull. lol

I understand it was a joke..but it was too uncomfortable for myself to listen to. I had to turn it off which is something I never do with this podcast. I forced myself to listen to the rest as a loyal fan. There is always a bit a of truth in every joke. The insults were too personal and Steve came out on top. I thought he held his head high. It was a good idea and I respect highly the work the two of you have to do to give us this podcast. Thank you.

Loved the show guys. The whole 'civil war' concept was so funny. I just have to say, I knew it was a joke and someting fun to listen to during the summer. I figured everyone else knew that too. I guess I was wrong. Its a shame too. It would have been fun to listen to you guys bicker all summer. Just think how even better this concept would have been during the explicit day. LOL. Sorry for the handful of peeps that took things to seriously. You guys are great. Looking forward to Derek's top 10 list...
