Space Nicole is back to talk about The Flash, and she doesn’t even want to fight Nicole Prime for the title of “Supreme Nicole of the Nerdy Podcasts”! That is a huge relief to Nicole Prime. She did not want to rain fire and destruction on her friend. First, we talk about Mark Hamill, poison, and bombs. Yes, we are still referring to The Flash and not the 90s Batman animated series. Also, guess who did the research on bomb residue? (Dear FBI, Nicole says, “Hi.”) Then, Space Nicole tells us all about the aerodynamics of bees, which is fascinating. Also fascinating is the fact that Barry is unable to run away from bees and has magic lightning hands. You can’t make this stuff up, people.
Now that I think about it, maybe the problem is that the speedforce is afraid of bees?
