Lasso of Truth

When we come back, Tony, you're going under the lasso.

The lasso of truth.

There

it is.

You

disgust me and you sit on a throne of lies.

It's the NFL Roundtable's Lasso of Truth.

Presented by Trotteria Roman Garden on Murray Hill in Little Italy.

Yep.

Now, Donna, outside the train car, uses the Lasso of Truth and swings the carriage around at super speed, turning it into a mystical centrifuge.

Ha ha!

Physics and magic.

8-2 with a 69% strength of schedule.

And he played Black Skull, which with the Reality Gem, Harry Leland, Mern with the Nightbringer Ring, Eternity, this is Restricted Police, Deadpool, that's Ducky Deadpool, and then we got Ventriloquist, the Miles and Kenny Prime with Utility Belt, Fancy Dan from Earth-X, like to see him, Legacy Panther, Parademon, and Tri-Sentinel Asylum, Fortify, Lasso of Truth, Bola, Abscissa, Black Flash, Dark Phoenix, Doom Supreme, Scrappy-Doo War Machine.

So, Harry Leland making an appearance finally.

He's an absolute monster of a piece in silver, but also having eternity too.

Yeah.

I think it was the second highest four and three of the day.

All right, so he had Avatar of Animal Man, Wonder Woman from the Vault Booster, and I wanted answers for protected outwit pieces, so I ended up actually going Lasso of Truth, which I think surprised quite a few people because most everyone's playing her with the sword and shield, so not many people knew what the Lasso of Truth even did.

And so what that does is gives her Outwit and Plasticity.

Malik Willis is not one of them.

I do wonder if, if you had the Lasso of Truth...

You know about that Lasso of Truth, Dan?

I don't.

Yeah, that's Wonder Woman, where she, she ropes the lasso around you and you are compelled to tell the truth.

I wonder if they had the Lasso of Truth and you used it on John Eric Sullivan and Jeff Haffley.

Do they, do they tell you that they see that Malik Willis is not who they think he was? Or do they actually believe, "Hey, there are mitigative circumstances here which would tell us that, no, we don't think this is his fault."

I think they're also new to their jobs.

For instance, he wrote a storyline called The Golden Perfect.

In this arc, Wonder Woman's indestructible Lasso of Truth actually snaps.

Whoa.

It breaks because she refuses to accept the absolute truth of a situation, and because the lasso is tied to the magical foundation of the universe, breaking it literally rewrites the fundamental rules of reality.

But isn't that a little depressing? Think about it.

What do you mean?

If Joe Kelly's run featured massive reality-breaking stakes like the Lasso of Truth snapping and provided deep, meaningful explorations of a character's PTSD, why does the comic book community punish it just for coming after Morrison?

I see what you're saying.

I am in.

Coming up, Pick Yo Headline, The Lasso of Truth.

And we're gonna check in with Andre Knott at 11, see if we can't, uh, figure out some pitching for tomorrow's game five, pivotal game five, which will decide whether or not the Guardians move on.

Right now, though, it's time for Hey Tony.

You smell like beef and cheese

Lasso of Truth, presented by Trattoria Roman Garden on Murray Hill in Little Italy.

[upbeat music] Well, congratulations to Dave, our winner this week.

She, she saves you in some way

... she saves me with the Lasso of Truth.

Yeah, sure.

And so what happens is that Batman, um, divulges, you know, some of his real feelings-
