About this Episode

Mike and Steve discuss a wide variety of topics, including recent Transformers news, thoughts on Transformers Animated, the state of the movie franchise, and their personal favorite Beast Wars seasons. They also share frustrations with retail availability of older DVD sets, Disney releases like Oliver and Company, and general updates on their respective podcasting and personal projects.

What's going on Autobots and Decepticons? This

is Mike, CaptainAwesomeDod from TheGameHeroes

.com and you are listening to the TFG1 Podcast,

the best Transformers podcast on the net today.

Hello and welcome to Supplemental Episode 5 of

the TFG1 Podcast. I am Michael Blanchard with

Steve slash Megatron of All Things Transformers.

Yes, and this morning, it's again, it's very

early during the week. It's two days after my

birthday and I am fucking pissed. Happy birthday

again. Yeah, thank you again, but yeah. These

people are just lucky that what happened last

night did not happen Monday night because I'd

be ready to kick some ass Why what happened last

night? About 830 I decided to get off my lazy

fat ass and walk to McDonald's which McDonald's

is actually closer It's actually a straight shot

from where my apartment is it's about 10 feet

closer than the actual Thornton store, so uh...

which starts as the local gas food mart here

whatever and so i decided to go there well when

i open my door as i said as i've said before

my door is is is double deadbolted so you have

to use a key uh... on the inside didn't even

get out of the apartment open the door and there

is a used fucking condom on my doorknob nice

i almost threw up everywhere I just like what

the fuck well the neighbor that lives across

from me who is cuz our our My job has has clients

over here. That's why they moved me over here.

Well. I only know two people in In the in these

buildings as far as I know that know that I'm

over here So knock the news door politely. I

just said hey Have you seen someone else? Because

I thought it might have been somebody else that

used to do that kind of crap. He goes, no. I

said, okay, do you have any idea? Or have you

seen anybody around my door? Because that's just

nasty. He goes, no. He goes, that's why you moved

out of the other place. Get away. I said, I know.

And I hear another voice in his apartment, which

is someone that I absolutely do not get along

with and cannot stand and just think needs to

be fucking shot. So I asked him, I said, is that

what's his name? He goes, yeah, and he kind of

gives me the client He kind of gives me like

this dirty look and I just kind of shook my head

and I was like, oh, okay cuz I didn't His kids

half mentally state mentally unstable. So I was

like, I ain't gonna say anything whatever I took

a giant water paper towels in my hand and Through

the paper towels. I peeled off this nasty thing

threw it in the trash can outside and wrote a

very lengthy email to my immediate supervisor,

to the overall program supervisor, to my former

boss, and the case manager of the client that

lives across the hall here. And yes, something

better be fucking done. I've only been in this

apartment a week. Like I said, I only know two

people that actually live over here, and I know

no one else, and I don't know if anybody else

knows me. Now it could be the guest that this

client had had, which I wouldn't put it past

them. They're that fucking immature -ish and

hold grudges and, like I said, they're mentally

unstable, but yeah, I'm fucking pissed. Yeah,

they kinda pissed me off too if I woke up to

that or went outside to that. Uh, yeah. And considering

I finally got the fucking door fixed yesterday,

that kinda sucked. Cuz remember I told you before,

the door... wouldn't close all the way. Well

I had maintenance out here to fix the nozzle

on the uh on the uh on the tub because the cold

water wasn't coming out and I nearly scalded

my hand the other day trying to get in the shower

and yeah yeah really and the door for some odd

reason it won't it wouldn't close all the way

so I had the maintenance guy out here and he

fixed it and it's it's all good but it just yeah

Yeah, I am so glad you you have no idea what

this building these buildings would not be standing

if that shit happened on my birthday Everybody

in their right mind as far as supervisors executive

directors fucking board members They would be

out here, and they would be seeing that shit

I also took a picture of it, and I sent it along

with the email and the email I said you know

I'm very Very unhappy, very this, very that,

and I said, you know, you can see what's in this

attached picture, and this, that, and the other

thing, and everything else, and after that sentence,

I said, I go, yes folks, that is a condom. Okay,

so, supplemental episode five. As I said in the

beginning, and as I said to you, Steve, off the

air, it's gonna be a bunch of randomness. So,

even though TFG One is not a news podcast, do

we have any news on the All Things Transformers

side? Have you found any bits of random news

that you're... Transformers animated season 3

is officially dead after season 3. They've deleted

the plot connects that were planned from season

3 to season 4. Basically wipe that element out

of the season 3 so that they can tie it up in

this season They don't tell why they're canceling

it and I guess at least one character is going

to die die And it has something to do with the

garbage in garbage out, so I'm guessing it's

either ratchet or wrecker I don't I don't think

anybody would be Opposed to them killing Optimus

Prime in this series But I had posted on Twitter

the other day I was I'm so freaking disgusted

at these people for doing this Transformers cartoon

in the first place like Spada and Jesse and Ryan

and everybody over at TF wire and every other

Transformers podcast I've listened to have said

they completely fucked up the Timing of the toy

commercials along with the series I saw a commercial

for animated the other day and I posted something

on Twitter I'm like, yeah I know why animated

has had no success because they're running the

fucking toy commercials when the show isn't even

on the air I mean Cartoon Network runs it at

weird times and it's like various episodes. It

isn't like there's a set time that Cartoon Network

has. I've never seen it as like like normally

when it's in syndication when any Transformers

show has been in the syndication it's either

been on at 6 or 6 30 in the morning. Well see

this one was on at I think 10 30 in the morning

on Saturdays. Right it was but I'm saying like

okay like say you have So you have Beast Wars.

Excellent show. Say it's 2000. So say it's already

gone off the air and Beast Machines on the air.

Say Beast Machines runs at 930 in the morning.

They normally would run old episodes, syndication

episodes of Beast Wars at an earlier time. You

see what I'm saying? Yeah. I always remember

watching those cartoons. when they were not currently

airing or currently making more of them at 6

or 6 30 every morning but with animated it's

it's very sporadic and it's not yeah i don't

see any reason why the show should even continue

considering how they've got a lot in season three

to to connect from season two forget about making

connections just from season three to season

four And that's probably their problem. They're

forward -thinking. They're not thinking about

in the now and tying up. Hell, the cliffhanger

ending of season two when Sari rips off her skin

and she's a friggin' robot. Of course, we all

know what the hell happened. The old fat guy

was bored and lonely and created him a fucking

robot daughter. I mean, that's just what happened.

So, yeah. Anything else? Michael Bay talks Transformers

Revenge of the Fallen with Collider .com. In

an exclusive video interview, he states that

the movie will be approximately 2 hours and 20

minutes, but still in editing. He also talks

about the experience filming in Egypt in IMAX

scenes. He mentions the film will be darker and...

More like the humans going on an adventure with

the Autobots, so it won't be more of a focus

on just Autobots It'll be more robot and So the

humans will be taking a backseat and it'll be

on a more epic scale and robots who emote more

and lastly they asked him if he would return

for a third movie and he says he would be interested

in doing it but his immediate plans are to take

a well -earned year off yeah well you know first

of all you cannot say crap like it being epic

And darker is fine, you know, whatever. Can't

say something is epic and only have it be fucking

two hours and 20 minutes. No, it's gonna be like

three hours and 20 minutes, like Lord of the

Rings. Well, you said that he said in the interview

two hours and 20 minutes. Yeah. Well, yeah, but

I mean, it has to be longer than that. It has

to be at least like two hours and 89 minutes

or somewhere close to the three hour mark. 2

hours and 89 minutes would be 3 hours and 19

minutes. Whatever. It's almost like I'm going

to fucking morning. I'm pissed and I haven't

been able to think so. Yeah, whatever. I'm just

saying - Drink a little bit more of that caffeine

there. Yeah, let's hope. Let's hope it'll wake

me up. I'm just saying that it would have to

be somewhere close to, like, maybe - 10 minutes

off the three hour mark to even get everything

that they're wanting to get into that. And as

far as the third one, really honestly, even though

I am a Transformers fan, I've had so much skepticism

about this movie, I don't even want to hear about

a fucking third one. Until I go and see this

one, I don't even want to hear shit about a third

movie. I just don't. just don't want to hear

about Since the problem that I liked like best

example I can give a spider -man 3 That movie

was so overhyped But and everybody says that

it sucks. I liked it. I don't care anybody else

says I did like it It's not something I could

watch Every day like I could watch Iron Man at

least once a day if I if I so chose to but I

mean It wasn't It wasn't as bad as, say, Electra.

Yeah, I never sit through that. But I mean, the

same thing goes for Transformers. It's like,

don't... It's like I said before about, you know,

animated. Don't forward think it. Think in the

now. Don't start talking about... And that's

the problem with media, and that's the problem

with us as fans and everything else. We want

to know what's next, what's gonna... You know,

we want more and we want it now. And me personally,

I'm of the mindset right now that I just don't

give a fuck. I wanna wait and see the second

one. You know, when it comes out and see what

happens in it and then I will form an opinion

of my own whether I should think that they should

make a third one or not. Now, my opinion doesn't

count for shit. But you know, at least I would

have an opinion then and I'm not... It's like

Wolverine and the X -Men or whatever. the new

Wolverine movie you know I haven't really formed

any opinion about it because I've only seen what

little trailer that there is and it's like yeah

I'm not gonna not gonna go there I don't know

yeah anything else news um well not really the

news but this is kind of caught my attention

Well back when the 2007 transformers movie was

coming out They made use of this transformers

webmaster program now in this program they were

It was supposed to help promote the movie, like

basically free advertisement by handing goodies

to other webmasters that would post information

about Transformers, whether it be comingsoon

.net, unicorn .com, prediconempire .com, TFW.

And it would give you like a ranking and a point

system and all that Supposedly get something

special from them whatever they never actually

did anything with it They show lakes like I'm

logged into it right now the last post they have

for content for webmasters is online banners

for you to download and it's on Friday June 22nd

2007 of just like pictures of some of the robots

and shit, but I mean it's like couple of the

pictures just from the movie and the poster and

There's no actual Like I'm they've got in their

little webmaster discussion forum one post and

like about the revenge of the fallen but they've

officially not put anything in there for the

webmasters to spread about so I mean it's it's

a pretty pathetic website and they don't do anything

with it which is sad because it has the potential

for so much more Yeah, that's that's really sad.

That's like they took down the the 20th anniversary

DVD website for Transformers the movie which

really saddened me because they had a lot of

good content on there as far as they had a they

had like this thing that you could add into your

myspace or facebook pages that plays like different

transformer sounds and they had a whole bunch

of audio clips from the movie and stuff like

that which i've just made my own but that's you

know just having a website out there that has

that content yeah it's been two years since the

since the 20th anniversary dvd is has been released

but um Yes, when sites go down like that that

that really saddens me because it was regardless

of whether oops That's not what I wanted to do.

Sorry Doing two things at once here and I went

to the cafe spark and I didn't want to go to

cafe spark this morning yet Am I going? I'll

go back eventually. I just don't I know I'm looking

something else up, but I mean, you know websites

like that that go down it just I understand the

cost and stuff to run websites and anything else,

but I don't know. Just having it is nice. So

switching to unless you have anything else, unless

you found anything else. Eh, not really. I'm

in kind of a lazy news hunting mood, so I don't

really care. Well, it is five minutes to six

in the morning. Damn, we're awesome for that.

Yeah, I know it. I know it. I don't blame you.

But I was looking up. I haven't finished getting

all my birthday stuff yet. Hopefully I can talk

my mom into going out and doing birthday shopping,

so I don't have to actually spend my own money

today. but the one present that I did get from

her was the Oliver and Company 20th anniversary

edition. Now normally when Disney has done like

the platinum editions or the anniversary editions,

I don't know about Jungle Book but I'd have to

look, it's been two discs. Well the Oliver and

Company one is only one disc. And the only features

it has is games and activities, all -new Oliver's

Big City Challenge game, backstage Disney making

of Oliver and Company, it has two animated shorts,

and it has a sing -along thing, music and more.

And I'm like, come on, the Aladdin 2 disc set

had more stuff than this. And I've always loved

it. I've always loved Oliver and Company ever

since I saw it. Yeah, it is Disney's take on

Oliver Twist, but... You can't deny the voices

that were I didn't know the voice of Oliver the

cat knew that was no Joey Lawrence And silence

crickets crickets Joey Lawrence whoa he was in

blossom Remember the crap Can't believe I just

admitted to watching blossom you know what I've

never heard of that. Have you ever watched the

Disney Channel? Him and his brothers were in

a Disney Channel movie at one point. I don't

know. I don't watch Disney Channel movies. I've

seen the shows that are on there, but... I like

some of the movies. They're alright. Like, The

Luck of the Irish was pretty cool. I'm not into

this whole high school musical crap and camp

rock and all that. No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

That can burn in the eternal fires of hell. Yes,

yes, I agree, I agree. But like some of their

other movies, like, um, Double Teamed, which

is based off of, uh, uh, True Life, uh, Twins,

uh... blonde twins basketball players. What was

the other one? The Jet Jackson movie. That was

pretty good. I liked that show. I missed that

show. But anyway, Oliver and Company, like I

said, it's based off of Oliver Twist. And it's

all these dogs against this... with this guy

named Fagan who owes this other guy Sykes money

and Oliver comes along and it's got a stellar

cast. Billy Joel, Joey Lawrence, Bette Midler,

Cheryl Ralph. It's got a lot of good music in

it and everything else. I think Billy sings a

couple songs. Bette Midler's in it. She plays

a really, really prissy poodle. It's not far

off from the mark So yeah Yeah, this is this

is pretty random today folks. I did not with

the move and everything else. I did not plan

anything for supplemental episode 5 and seeing

as how our other podcasting friends are busy

and in the middle of moving from one place in

Canada to another Yeah So, yeah I guess we can

go ahead and pimp the forums. Come on people

come to the Predacon Empire comm forums There's

not enough people even there's not enough people

leaving me comments on the podcast There isn't

a lot of people leaving any comments right now.

I think the most conversation I've had was with

Derek lap over there about his his unicorn and

Yeah, I want one of those. That looks so fucking

cool. You know what I'm talking about, right?

Oh yeah, I've... I've... I sit there and I read

every single post that's posted on that board.

No you don't. Don't lie. No, I seriously do.

No, you don't. Don't lie. I'm not. I sit there

and I read every single thing that's posted because

I... Well yeah, you're the... I have moderators,

but I don't... gauge what they say you know on

stuff because a lot of people have arguments

and I decide what is crap and what is like when

Starscream gets out of control. Oh yeah let's

not go there. I wonder if anybody even over there

listens to TFG1. Oh I know a few do I think Starscream

actually listens. Well, I know he listens to

ATTF. I don't know if he listens to TFG1. I think

he might, but I don't know. I think Optimus Prime

listens to TFG1. He might. I know that they're

trying to come up with a podcast. I don't know

how well that's working out for them because

they've been planning this since last year. I

know that another good podcast to listen to if

you're completely bored with TF wire or burned

out with them which lately I've been kind of

I mean I'm not trying to trash them but because

I was a host on there and they did give me my

start but it's kind of gone downhill and I mean

I like the hosts and everything but it's just

it's I don't know the But there's another, instead

of mumbling, I'm going to actually spit it out.

The TF Anonymous podcast is pretty good as well.

I think I tried that at one point. I don't know

what it was. I don't know, I might have to go

back and try it again. I think they're hilarious

because a lot of the time there's like random...

Hilarity throughout the entire episode and Kind

of like last episode of ATTF There's just randomness

that you can't recreate and TF wire seems to

have lost that with the toss of many different

hosts and so The the TF anonymous are actually

defected members of TF wire One of them being

an old TF wire host for like four or five episodes

on the main podcast and then the roundtable Yeah,

I would have to go back like I said and and listen

to it in between in between dealing with bullshit

already over here and just unpacking in general

and Yeah, I had like I said, I haven't done anything.

I have my I have my G1 DVD sets out, but... Think

I've finished episode 13's script yet? Fuck no.

So it's nice that I actually have written up

until episode 13, so if I get the inkling at

some point, which I will, obviously, because

episode 6 has to be out next Friday, if I get

the inkling at all this weekend to record anything,

I'll... at least I have the script already ready,

and I don't have to worry about writing it out.

That be true. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes Yeah, but I

really I really dug that that that that picture

because it and really I didn't even look at it

all the way first I just saw the the unicorn

Thing I didn't really and I saw some of the other

smaller figures. I did not even see Hot Rod Rodimus

whichever one he was I didn't even see him holding

up the Matrix in front of Unicron. I just saw

all the smaller characters below it. And yeah,

it's really cool looking. Yeah, it is a cool

statue. I probably still wouldn't buy it, but

that's just because I'm a cheap poor bastard.

And I like the Megatrons over anything else,

preferably G1 or Beast Wars. Yeah, but I mean,

to have something like that from the movie, regardless...

Yeah, regardless, it's an awesome piece. But,

um, you know what I'd really like to see them

remake? The freaking beast machines Maximals

and via cons like remake them like kind of do

like a classics type thing with them because

I'm sorry that Megatron that they had for These

machines was complete and utter shit It was like

literally he's a freaking cheap -ass looking

dragon. He doesn't even look anything like the

Beast Wars one I can understand if he was the

same size and they somehow made his wings kind

of like inter clasped together to you know form

the battle suit in front of him and like had

the weird colorations and everything no they

didn't have a goddamn thing on there they had

the his wings were pretty much I don't know if

you've seen the titanium scourge I don't think

so well I mean that's that's a shitty figure

too I just bought it because that was my first

voice -over character but it folds over, the

wings fold over and cover the front of them and

the detail on this figure is complete crap as

well and it's supposedly a mega but it's more

like a deluxe they just had it in a mega because

of how much space it took up because of the wings

but it was complete garbage there was no freaking

reason I just wish that they redo a lot of their

old figures and give them the detail they deserve.

Granted, it wasn't a blockbuster hit series,

but they still could have done a lot more. Have

they done any kind of anniversary stuff with

Beast Machines? I know they did a 10th anniversary

of Beast Wars. I think it was Dinobot and Cheetor

and a couple of the other ones, Rhinox. I remember

they had had those at one of the Bot Cons, I

think it was either 2007, no not 2007. It was

either 2006, I don't know, it was between 2005

and 2007. No, it was 2006, obviously. I was just

saying, yeah, wait a second, it was 2006, obviously,

seeing as how the fucking cartoon was out in

96, so that would be 10 years, duh. So have they

done anything as far as, or do you think that

they will do anything when eventually the...

I think they might, but I think they'll probably

wait until after the movie. I think... I'm not

positive, but I think the series debuted in 1999.

If not, okay, that's what I was thinking. I just,

brain's not working, but I usually have that

information on my site. The only reason why I

remember that is because it sounds right. uh...

the scene of what sounds right number two sierra

graduate high school number three uh... the stores

only had three seasons so if you take ninety

six ninety nine it's three years and then you

know the start of these machines ninety -nine

to two thousand one well and for to you know

that makes fun and for two seasons while yet

it seems like it Well it had 26 episodes for

the whole series which is as long as season one

of Beast Wars So in essence it was not very long

at all because Beast Wars had Twice that amount

of episodes and the entire series Now see I wish

they would just I mean they did a of course they

do this nowadays with with everything that has

kind of like a one -shot deal but I wish that

they would just Re -release Beast Wars as a complete

series have all three seasons in in one giant

box set You know that would be really smart instead

of making people buy all three separately and

I would rather have like the goodies that would

come with a box set I actually just talked to

the other day. I had talked a buddy of mine Dwayne

Walker he He had done a he's a big we're big

Knight Rider fans, and he had done He had done

a little spot on the Knight Rider online podcast

for them and I started talking to him. We kind

of became friends because we're both fans of

Knight Rider or whatever. I actually just talked

him into buying the complete series box set with

the light up scanner and everything else. He's

like, why? I have all the original four sets.

I said, yeah, but... How many times do they skip?

Oh, I have them all on my computer. I'm like,

yeah, that's great and all, but, you know, DVDs,

it's something you can hold in your hand, it's

something cool, whatever else. They remastered

the thing. So he finally went out and bought

that. Yeah, Beast Machines ran from 99 to 2001.

I'm looking at the IMDB now, and just wow, it

just doesn't seem like, like it was only that,

that long. Yeah And I haven't even checked on

online or or iPhone I haven't I just turned off

my My new app this morning when I woke up at

455 and like I'm having this really really great

name I don't know what else but I know it was

really really great I don't want to wake up next

thing I know I'm waking up like oh shit What

time is it cuz I thought it was like 6 30 And

I get up, and it's like two minutes before my

alarm's supposed to go off. I'm like, oh fuck.

So I bought one of those, kind of like you know

how you buy those wave sound alarm clocks, has

all these nature, like you know those nature

CDs and crap that, well I found an app on. on

the app store for iPhone called White Noise.

So I'm thinking, white noise, oh crap, it's going

to be nothing but TV static. So I look on there

and they have all these cool sounds like water,

running water and rainforest and all this and

all that crap. So yeah, the last two nights I've

gotten really, really soothing sleep because

I left my Bose and iPod out here on the desk.

Yeah, I can tell you pretty much, Transformers

Animated isn't going to take off. Much oh wait

Gary Chuck isn't in transformers animated whoops

Nope, it's David K. Yeah, and various g1 voice

actors. Yeah Wow, he was in an episode of Supernatural

who was Gary Chuck. Yes, not only he wasn't the

only one There's a few other I'm only looking

at his IMDB page because I thought I'd screw

you buddy Well, I thought he was in animated

at some point I know he wasn't a major character

where I thought he might have had something in

there and the most Three projects he has in post

-production is the Saints of Mr. Mount Christopher

Angel in the angel in the bad man and scooby

-doo in the beginning. What the hell? Oh, he's

playing Vice Principal Grimes. What the hell

is this gonna be? Scooby -Doo in the beginning.

Give me a break. We already have a pup named

Scooby -Doo, which is the best Scooby -Doo cartoon

out there, but that's beside the point. Wow,

that was completely random. See, folks, we are

all random all the time. Wow, Twitter's back.

Yay. Yay, Twitter's back. I sit there and I freak

out. I'm sitting there. I check it all day. I

may not post all day, but I'm checking it all

day. Mm -hmm. but uh... and uh... i didn't do

it yeah i was reading the uh... post on the cybertron

archives which is optimus prime site uh... it

appears they're uh... still in the running to

make their podcast because uh... they actually

came to me for or the guy that's wanting to start

it came to me for information on what to do so

I may eventually end up guest starring over there

I don't know depends at some point but they're

talking about recording and doing an episode

I don't I'm not that far in the damn thing yet

so I don't know yeah wow everybody looks like

huh well I was saying everybody's starting one

nowadays yeah Well, they're all jealous now that

I've done my TFG one. So yeah, everybody's trying

to be ripoffs bastards Yeah, the original G one

sites going crazy and having to make one. Oh

Really No, I was looking at this scooby -doo

thing and I looked at one of the stars Haley

Kyoko, she actually looks like Velma, but she's

hot but she plays Velma's voice This new I guess

it's gonna be a cartoon series. I don't know.

I don't really care whatever nice Yep, I Wish

that they would just take the the people that

did in the two movies like Freddy Prince jr.

And all them and just let them do an animated

Scooby -Doo series I Don't know I I don't care

that much about Scooby -Doo Well, I don't I mean

outside of a pup named scooby -doo which came

out in 1988 I really don't care either way, but

I mean if they were gonna do something like that

It would be cool for them to use the actual actors

that Did in the movie as as the voice actors,

but Hopefully I have my my Apple confirmation

email because if I don't I'm gonna kick Steve

Jobs's ass not really but yes Apple Store order

acknowledgement hopefully it ships today dammit

one of my one of the people over in the earth2

.net forums had actually gotten robbed and got

his iPod stolen or no his his his I fake stolen

from him and it's basically a generic term for

a non -ipod mp3 player nice and yeah and uh so

I I'd offered to him I said hey look you know

I've got some some extra cash from from whatever

that that's coming in you know do you want one

whatever else and and I had made this Before

he had actually had this happen to him and he

had sent me a message the other day asking if

it was still You know if the offer was still

on table said yeah, that's fine. So I went and

got him a custom blue Custom blue with With some

engraving on it and whatever else and hopefully

it'll ship out today oh yeah my other vent my

my publisher oh my god these fucking people just

no you you have no idea okay I'm gonna type something

to you here in the in the box here this will

be a title of one of the poems this is what it

looks like on the final proofs that that he has

given me This is oops This one typing now, sorry

folks This is This is what it's supposed to look

like You see the difference. They're all capital

letters and I keep I kept going back and forth

back and forth So the first one's acting like

a child With lowercase letters and then the second

one's a sighting like a child with map letters.

No, it's supposed to be acting like a child.

I know, I just heard one of you. Shut up! Dammit.

But, uh... I thought you were writing, uh...

I was acting like a child, so I put that other

post, that's why. that's why I told you I told

you I said this I said I'm gonna type something

to you I said this is what it what it looks like

and then it was typing what it's supposed to

look like but it's like he's like oh well those

those changes that you're asking us to make are

stylistic and it's not going to affect the marketability

and the outcome of your book and I'm like dude

Fuck I didn't say this I'm thinking of somebody

like dude fucking change it the way I want it

to fucking be I Mean I can understand that You

know if it was a and the other thing is like

one poem is like halfway down page 98 Going into

page 99. That's not the way they're supposed

to be they're supposed to fit on all one fucking

page So yeah, I don't think I'm going to like

the outcome of this book at all I was really

I was really impressed and really pleased with

the last two books But this one is gonna be a

complete fuck -up, and I almost wish I didn't

even fucking submit it This is probably gonna

be the one book of poetry that I fucking regret

and that sucks Fucking people from Frederick,

Maryland bastards. This is probably what's going

through their heads Yeah, I heard that voicemail

oh you did yeah, I caught up on the game heroes

commercial on twig this week. What? Yeah, they

had your commercial on the latest twig, the episode

47. Oh, Friday the 13th. I have not listened

to that yet. Good episode overall. They got lots

of commercials in there, and you're one of them.

I need to record one. They got one of the same

game heroes one, like the one I recorded that

I was telling you that was a bitch to record.

Yeah. I got somebody else is doing it. It just

sounds like it just flows. but it no it goes

in like the same thirty second time slot and

i'm like what the fuck how's this guy doing this

cause like i'm sitting here trying to ramble

it off as fast as i can get it out well it's

it's probably because different people different

voice speeds and stuff like that yeah we can

speed our voices up or slow them down but i mean

you know different people have different talents

so i very highly doubt uh... anybody can do beast

wars megatron as good as you other than You know

the original creator of David Kay, but I mean

like anybody like general Joe Schmo geek so Yeah,

I've been doing that one a long time Hey, yes,

you've had you've had a chance to harness your

your ability on that Don't know I can I think

I'm gonna send my mom an email and see if she'll

even agree to go out to Best Buy today Cuz I

would like to see if I can find those at least

at least the Beast Machines DVD set you won't

find them Shut up. I'm serious I didn't know

how do you know I couldn't even get mine in the

store I had to go to the damn like they had it

and then I didn't have them I didn't have the

money at the time then I went back a couple months

later And they had all the crap from animated

Well I had mentioned this to you a while ago

when I had gone to Best Buy for, I think I was

picking up my Bill Cosby complete series set.

And I had looked around for animated and I could

not find a single animated DVD. And I didn't

even think to look for Beast Wars or Beast Machines.

You know why? Everybody wanted animated. They

just couldn't keep it on the damn shelves. I

call bullshit on that. I probably do too. I don't

think they even stalked it. I call bullshit on

myself. Alright. Let's see. I'm going to prove

you wrong here. Fine. It'll take me a couple

of minutes. Well, do some voices or do something

because it's taking this page an awful long fucking

time to load. Why the hell would I do a voice?

Because I told you to, dammit. They stole it

from us. My precious. Oh god, that's scary. Yeah,

I can do an exact one of that too. I used to

get in trouble in school. I'd sit there and I'd

mock the teachers doing that kind of crap or

I'd go like, I love this, especially when I was

working like some crap jobs and I was working

McDonald's and everything. I'd sit there and

like my boss would tell me to do something and

they'd piss me off because I was always the one

that had to do something. never anybody else

know it's always Steve go do this Steve go do

that and so I was like I just start doing all

my voices on them they'd start laughing I'd actually

be a smart ass with them doing the voice and

be you know tell them kind of just telling them

I was yeah and I'd say like and you know do shit

like that and so they just start laughing thinking

I'm joking but I'm serious and I'm just doing

voice just kind of disguise that Come on, load,

you bastard, load. Open. Damn it, open! Nooooooo,

fuck. You suck. It's unavailable at every single

store in this area for pickup. I can order it

online, but... Damn it. All right, let's check

Beast Wars. Wow, that's freaking crazy Freaking

Beast Wars Levar Burton. I was just reading on

Twitter Yeah, Twitter. I guess it says tomorrow

He's doing a or which would be today. He's doing

a voice for a new Marvel cartoon the superhero

squad Wow, that sounds gay Anybody ever hear

of a character called roadie is what he says

and then a birdman says oh you're war machine

Yeah, I am Not liking where they're taking the

Marvel animation. Have you even seen an episode

of that Wolverine in the X -Men? I've seen the

animation clips and I think It's I don't know,

it's probably alright, but I don't know. I like

the old 90s kind of more serious tone than this.

Oh, we're gonna do Teen Titans all over again.

I mean Teen Titans had a good story, but the

fucking animation sucked. And then they gave

that to animated. Oh, that's part of the reason

why the series bombed. I mean, they wrote it

for like... five -year -olds yeah yeah I didn't

I was never a fan of Teen Titans I first of all

I don't read comics I haven't read a comic other

than my BotCon comic I have not read a comic

since I was probably 14 15 16 I don't even know

so it's I'm not like one of these 20 oh Christ

I'm 29 I want to be 28 again. I'm not like one

of these 30, 31 year olds who are way into comics

that just absolutely must have comics every month.

It's not that I don't like comics, I just haven't

been into them in a long time. And half the stuff

that I was into was all Marvel. I very rarely

ever picked up a DC book whatsoever. Oh yeah,

and get this. fucking best buy is back ordered

on beast wars season one and season two so the

only thing if i wanted to get shut up the only

thing i wanted to get anything would be season

three you know what's funny about that? that's

the first season i bought at best buy and then

i bought season two and then i bought beast machines

and then i bought season one i did everything

ass backwards Because I like Season 3 best out

of Beast Wars. What was in Season 3? I forget.

Primal changes into his optimal optimus form.

Like a trap against the dragon. The fog. Death

charge. No! Bad dragon! No! Hell no! Fucking

red ass dragon. Don't say bad dragon. Bad dragon!

Why is that? I don't know. It just doesn't sound

right. Christ the star pickup is limited availability.

Let's see come on load page load Like I said

open damn it open yes You have got to be fucking

kidding me I would be better off trying to go

to fucking borders and getting it there than

looking on fucking Best Buy Unavailable unavailable

Damn it you people suck fucking Best Buy They

suck balls I guess the podcast for the Cybertron

archives, I guess they already recorded episode

one, but They're unsure of how to edit the episode

Well, they're all new at it, I mean I didn't

know what the That's why when I originally got

the brainstorm that is TFG1 I wanted to find

some unwitting fool to do all the editing for

me because Yeah, I would end up screwing it up

I know for a fact I would end up screwing it

up because when I recorded And when I was originally

started using audacity for my DVD ripping I had

recorded something and I wanted to add something

to it and I Went to click at the end of the thing

and it recorded at the beginning and it recorded

over what I had just previously recorded If that

makes any sense Yes, beautiful. Yeah, so no,

I don't do editing. I just do the recording.

It's much easier Yeah the recording Kind of sucks

balls the recording does you mean the hell right?

Okay, whatever Brains not working. It's too fucking

early. It's only 630 Yeah, well when you have

to get up and you've only had two and a half

hours or three hours sleep There's just freaking

wonderful, and then you got to go back and do

the whole 16 17 already wait a second. You've

been up this whole time What you've been up on

okay? No No, I went to bed about I think I think

I fell asleep about Midnight 12 30. I don't know.

I think it's really helping me having that app

though because I put on the I'll either put on

The beach waves which is just like The ocean

crashing into the beach sand or I'll put on the

actual ocean waves And yeah, that's really helping

me sleep. So yeah, this episode really has absolutely

no direction whatsoever. I'm surprised if I don't

lose listeners with this episode. Not saying

I want to, but yeah, we've been all over the

place today. At least we didn't have any - Oh

yeah, this episode's been - At least we didn't

have any - Freaking crazy. Yeah, at least we

didn't have any kind of mention of - uh... astro

trainer blitzwing love that was fucking ridiculous

you know what i don't even know where the hell

it came from i was just sitting there and my

brain was getting scared and i was just like

that uh... just like spit out words i didn't

know what that was like i was like i couldn't

even Todd that's why I keep saying okay, that's

it. That's it. I'm out of here. See you later.

Bye. And I'm like what I cannot believe And then

I didn't let you leave right away. I cannot believe

that he just said that. That was like holy freaking

crap. Oh, good lord. Yeah, pretty much. That's

messed up. That is so messed up. Yeah, at least

I'm not Bringing that back up well, that's fine,

but that's well it it wasn't exactly as sporadic

as it originally was so I mean It goes along

with the randomness that is supplemental episode

So yeah, and if a stupid program would load I'm

trying to pull up the script for I think it's

Episode 5 I have to pull up because obviously

I need to get the closing correct 13 Because

obviously episode 6 will be after this All right,

you got anything else you want to say Freaking

early, I just know I'm gonna be This episode's

due out this Friday, which technically is not

this Friday, it's technically today, which, yeah.

Because we're recording this, it's coming out

two days from now, correct? Yes, but I'm going

to record the intro. I'm going to record a separate

intro and outro. So technically this episode

comes out two days from now, but technically

it's out today. No because Because by the time

they'll be reading the live recording it'll be

today Stop making stop making my fucking brain

hurt I'm going to record my intro and my outros

as it Alright, whatever. I'll just do it now.

You'll have one clip. You only have to use the

two themes Okay What oh? God stop it. That's

what I'm saying the two themes the intro at the

beginning before this clip and Then the outro

music at the end of this clip because I'm gonna

just go ahead and do my ending speech now So

I just slap the ending I know pretty much yes

the season 2 audio You put it on here before

we talk as of right now So we're talking now,

but when you go to edit it You put the season

2 audio before this clip and then this clip and

then the season 2 outro music to end the No You

have this clip in the middle your beginning is

the season 2 audio which you play first Then

the clip and then the season 2 ending audio which

you play after this clip It's like you put the

three things in a playlist and you play them

all at once, but they're all different files

And don't forget to embed the audio or the artwork

Yeah, if my iTunes actually lets me do it, it

pissed and moaned. What did your iTunes do last

time? It basically gave me a big middle finger.

Okay. Why? What was happening? Uh, it told me

no. It says fuck you. You still have the instructions,

right? Do you need me to email them to you again?

You know what? If I really need the instructions,

I'll just listen to this clip again. No, no,

no. I mean as far as embedding the artwork. Okay.

No, I have that. I remember that part. That's

easy. Alright, so. That's it. That's all for
