OH WE GETTING VIDEO CONTENT FOR THE MIDNIGHT BOYS NOW?!?! 👀 This the best thing to come out of BHM to date 😂✊🏾
This was one of the funniest podcast episodes ever. I’m glad there’s a video version.
“just pick Falcon and get it over with bro” has to be one of the best lines in Ringer podcast history.
With my first pick in the draft of “Favorite Ten Minute Sections of Any Podcast Ever,” I’m taking Charles getting ruthlessly mocked in minutes 30-40.
"Panthro is bald with two hoop earrings, hes black." this shit is amazing lol
The "vampires and the IRS" line slayed me.
Steve with the major CR movie draft vibes picking Geordi La Forge in the 2nd round. 😂😂
I am so fucking glad y’all put this out on video too. I was cry laughing at work listening to Charles go into a full on struggle spiral.
30:25 slayed me. Van being a pro and moving on before realizing "Did Coke Baby Chuck really take Piccolo?"
Steve was definitely gonna say “We forgetting about Mr. Popo” in response to Piccolo being the only black character on DBZ and let it go lol.

Had to watch just to see the visual reactions to Charles picking Picolo, Torretto, ETC.
I will take the leftovers: 1. Bishop 2. Luke Cage 3. Brother Voodoo 4. War-Machine 5. RiRi Williams - Ironheart

this is a pretty stacked team
"you are rob pelinka right now" almost made me drive off the road in laughter
I bet Steve didn't think anyone caught him almost bringing up Mr. Popo as a black dbz character. Good business decision to hold that back lol
Van picking Blue Marvel with his last pick is like the Bucks getting Giannis with the 15th pick. Van won the panel just too young to know it. Van's team kinda stacked.
We rocking with Steve cause Steve rocking with us 🤞🏾
I happen to like Jomi's reparations draft order 🤣🤣
I’m so happy I found this episode. Had tears rolling down from laughing.
Jomi and Van laughing is the best thing about this episode.
Yo, yall clowning! He said "just pick Falcon and move on" I'm crying at work
All time Classic. Steve just getting cooked for Geordie who I legit would pretend to be as a kid with my mom headband over my eyes 😎
Vans no limit jersey in the background must be recognized as a national treasure
36:40 is the best part of the podcast 😂
Having Van breakdown the true purpose of a Jedi was refreshing😁. As was Steve’s interpretation “keep church and state separate”.
30:00 Charles picks Piccolo .., epic moment
This pod was so good, I had to come watch the video version the moment I saw it on IG.
That YaYa pick with Doctor Manhattan was 🔥🔥🔥
I've been hoping for this. I thought for sure you were gonna make Steve pick after everyone finished their draft...you were much nicer than expected, but still Poor Steve! Love you guys!
This is the first time I seen what they actually look like. This ep was amazing lol
All of the original Ninja Turtle were black in that first movie. I'm Van's age...I remember going on a class trip to see it.
So glad we getting video content from you guys!! I was hoping y’all would do this soon! Great 1st episode!
Finally!!! Soo good to see the Ringer-Verse on youtube!! Please keep em coming. Pew pew ✊🏽
More Midnight Boys Video Content! We need this, we want this!
I had to see if there was a video version of this. This shit had me dying.
When my guy drafted Geordi… 😂 😂
Video Ringerverse? Hell yeah. Loved this draft.
Soooo glad there is video of this. We need more Ringer video content.

I second that!!
I really enjoyed the draft! Had me laughing the whole time! Piccolo and Optimus are not black but Panthro is absolutely black!
Fun Fact: Panthro is voiced by the guy who played Cliff Huxtable's Dad on the Cosby Show!
I want some of what Charles was smokin on this episode!

Van's squad wins in a fight hands down lol. Spawn and Dr. Manhattan.
I just listened to this last night. But I can’t WAIT to watch it play out now! Pew pew
this ep is lol funny. i listened to it at the gym and then immediately watched it on youtube
GEORDIE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND SINCE THIS. I see/hear of him everywhere.
I had to watch for the piccolo Optimus and dom section lol
My top 5 picks: 1. Green Lantern John Stewart 2. Storm 3. Static 4. Piccolo (Dragon Ball franchise) 5. Black Panther

Yes! More video content please!
HELL YES!! Thanks Steve (or whomever edited this)
Meteor Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“This is a reach Steve “ Lmaooooooooo
So I have to ask, because OG Darth Vadar was voiced by James Earl Jones, do we count him as black?

His voice cracked when he said Morpheus
POOTIE TANG !
Your best podcast by far
Man, none of you picked Bishop?!
He really Followed up Piccolo with Vin Diesel AHAHAHA
Did Charles lose his mind picking Optimus Prime and Piccolo?? Come on man...

lmao, isn't it obvious? Yes.
Not mentioned, waiver wire draft: Killmonger, Gamora, Black Adam, Darth Vader, Black Manta
Coke baby chuck was wild on this one
I'm with Charles. Considering how many characters in Dragon Ball were drawn with BlackFace, I don't think it's that much of a stretch to consider Piccolo Black especially when we equated the Saiyan struggle as a Black Struggle.
Steve getting roasted the whole time was very funny to me
So we are just gunna disrespect Meteor Man 😅😅🤣
Jomi with the community kit heat!!
Aqua Lad from Young Justice underrated pick
Michael Jai White as John Stewart who says no?
Val-Zod Superman (Earth 2), Jason Rusch Firestorm, Wallace West Kid Flash, Mister Terrific
So nobody going talk about Steve drafting a guy who played slave. Lol
Calling Static the superhero Static Shock is a big pet peeve of mine. His name is superhero name is Static. The show is called Static Shock. Shout out Virgil Hawkins!
#1 pick for me would be Blade #2 Black Panther 💭
also in terms of cultural impact.....Zack from Power Rangers.....
Just tell me this, was Steve for real with Jordi...??? You got Luke Cage out there still!
My 7 round draft 1) Storm 2) Black Panther 3) Blade 4) Spawn 5) Static Shock 6) John Stewart 7) Miles Morales. Undrafted Luke Cage Mace Windu
I don't think Charles understood the concept of the draft lmao
Blank Man, Meteor Man, The Head Detective, Afro Samurai.. This was a missed opportunity to celebrate some cult classic heroes
Can we get honorable mention for Hammerman?
Coke baby chuck at his finest
DC should just give Denzel whatever he wants to play John Stewart. He'd be their RDJ.
First marvel movie with a black leading role is BLADE!!!!!!!!!
Idris Elba for John Stewart
S/O to Kwame from Captain Planet - LET OUR POWERS COMBINE
Blade had a marvel movie before black panther…
Van with the W
I would've gone with Okoye over Michonne tho.
They did Luke Cage dirty
Question - would Ahsoka Tano have been accepted?
Van is so right on miles.

Love the Spiderverse. Though I’m pretty pissed the second movie release date was pushed to 2023. It would have been the best October birthday gift😁
Blankman!
Would Denzel’s Equalizer count? Dude is a badass and I’m sure some comics came out of it.
Migh as well pick Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon, Daniel in Get Out. Good lord.
God bless for the video art. Hi Steve.
video! Awesome! Even funnier with video.
Also, surprised no one picked Black Adam (The Rock of course)
You can't just give the white people Goku... He's asian man
Top Five: 1. Mr. T (Ya’ll Slept) 2. Blade 3. Bishop ( Uncanny X-Men) 4. Morpheus 5. Black Panther Also Van, Panthro was voiced by Earl Hyman who played Cliff Huxtable’s Dad in the Cosby Show and is black so technically Panthro….. is Black.😆
No war machine, vixen, hancock, bat wing, steel, bishop, iron heart, or Misty Knight
Charles was right on all accounts lol
@8:50 yes, that is an unfair comparison. Blade had the better fight scenes.
