About this Episode

TFG1Mike and PecanCtMichael review two episodes from the Phineas & Ferb universe. In "Cheers for Fears," Candace asks the boys for help creating the ultimate birthday gift for Jeremy, while Doof's Worst Fear-inator backfires and traps him battling his own irrational fears—including a memorable encounter with vending machines. In "Just Our Luck," Doof's Luck-Inator accidentally affects the kids with bad luck while they prepare a sky tennis match, with Candace gaining all the luck instead. The hosts discuss the episodes' humor, Easter eggs, voice acting cameos, and more.

Alright folks, just like in the last episode,

and this is the only time I'm gonna have to do

this now, in the future, or whenever, till the

end of time of the podcast organization, without

a cool acronym, this is episode 95. There is

no episode 93. It disappeared. It just fucking

Furbing disappeared. So yeah, now we are on track

to have Tales from the Resistance be the 100th

episode of this 104 day podcast. that has lasted

or taken eight and a half years to complete.

And yes, we do know that season five of Phineas

and Ferb is coming, so we will be doing more

than one hundred and four days of summer. Enjoy.

Thank you for listening. And we love you all.

It's over here! Give me that! As you can see,

there's a whole lot of stuff to do before school

starts this fall! Come on, Barry! So stick with

us, cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all!

So stick with us, cause Phineas and Ferb are

gonna do it all! Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making

a title s - Hello and welcome to episode 94 of

Pauka brought to you by the GeekCast Radio Network.

I am your host TF2, one of your hosts TF2 and

Mike, and joining me as always is Pecan Court

Michael. Hello. Hey, how's it going? It's going.

Sometimes I wish it would stop, but it's going.

Today is the 94th day of summer, at least for

us anyways, and that means it is the day that

the GCRN Returns to our cartoon review podcast

or continues on our cut. Wow. That's not typed

out correctly. So Michael, are you ready to jump

on the roller coaster ride? That is the podcast

organization without a cool acronym. Yes. Yes,

I am. As of this recording, we have 10 days left

of the podcast until they eventually release

the new episodes. So without any further ado,

we are going to get to cheers for fears. I've

been working on Jeremy's birthday present for

months, but it's not even close to being as good

as I want it to be. Ugh. Lame. Oh, come on, Candice.

You're overthinking this. Jeremy will love anything

you make. What's your worry? I just want to do

something really special to show Jeremy how much

I care. Something way over the top. Something

that defies the laws of physics and exceeds the

boundaries of the imagination. Oh, no. Oh, yes.

When Candice is stumped about what to get Jeremy

for his birthday, she reluctantly... asks Phineas

and Ferb for their help in creating the ultimate

gift. Meanwhile, Diffenshmirtz plans to make

fears a reality with his worst fear in Ator,

but his plans backfire when he finds himself

battling his own fears instead. Dun dun dun.

Oh boy. If my first thought was that what like

I wish they would have been able to license Everybody

wants to rule the world because hello Cheers

for fears tears for fears. They could have played

that while she was on the scrapbook ride Yep,

or they could have played it during doof's fear

thing man His fear... Oh boy, those vending machines.

You gotta watch out for them vending machines,

man. And my jawbone landed on the remote. Okay,

nothing bad will happen as long as I don't think

about anything scary or... Oh no! I couldn't

help it! It just popped in there! It can't be!

Vending machines are taking over! I said it could

happen! No! Stay back! Stay back! Oh, there's

three of them. I mean they totally ganged up

on him Exactly. I mean one of them probably could

have taken it You know one of them keep probably

could have sicked norm on him norm the dog. It

would have been awesome That's right. I hope

not just oh my god do fly Guard dog mode. Woof,

woof, woof. Bark like a dog, Norm. I think it

was a poor use of Norm. Norm deserves better.

Norm got a girlfriend. Next thing you know, he's

barking like a dog. Well, I mean, it would have

been like, that would have made more sense if

Chloe had shown up in the episode, but she didn't.

Made him bark like a dog? That's awful. Well,

yeah, but still, like, um, hello? Woof. That's

right. Woof, woof. All I can think of is whatever

the wolf's name is in the Looney Tunes cartoon.

When Red Riding Hood - Is it a name? Yeah, he

has a name. I forget what his name is off -topic.

Oh, no, it's not a wolf. Is it Wile E. Coyote?

No, it is a wolf. Because the whole point is

it's a little Red Riding Hood cartoon, but it's

a Looney Tunes cartoon. Oh, okay. I think his

name is just the wolf. I don't think so, but...

And or the big bad wolf. He's the big bad wolf.

Yeah, that's fine. So what did you think of this

episode, sir? I liked it. I especially liked

the Scrapbook Carnival ride. Yeah? I wasn't sure

how they were going to implement this, but they

actually brought back... certain things from

past episodes. And I was like, I recognize that.

It's like Leonardo DiCaprio sitting up out of

a seat pointing at the screen. I recognize that.

I recognize that instance of the reference. But

yeah, I liked it. I thought, now this is a weird

thing. You can smudge his inator. Generally his

inators aren't... that bad or as we like to say,

you know, they're not that evil. But this is

something that could be considered evil. Yeah.

This is kind of like a horror movie plot, you

know, it's just like an episode of Saw. Yeah,

pretty much. Yeah. He's just like, I'm going

to inflict your worst nightmare upon you. And,

you know, his worst nightmare was kind of, I

don't know, kind of. I don't want to say childish,

but yeah, you know, he's got a fear of vending

machines It's like yawn, but you know other people's

fears could be I Don't know scary nuns evil clowns

Yeah You imagine the entire town being overrun

with evil clowns. That's isn't they do an episode

about that though. There's a movie about that.

Yeah It's funny I was telling my son and I went

to spirit Halloween and they have the killer

clowns from outer space there, you know, and

we're like, right. I think it's amazing. And

he's like, what the hell is this? You know, he's

never he's never heard of killer clowns from

outer space. So now I'm going to make him watch

it closer to Halloween. But we're definitely

going to watch killer clowns from outer space.

Oh, Lord. Well, Halloween's not that far off.

We got, we got 30 days, 30, 20, 28 days, 28 days,

30, something like that, I don't know. Math.

Yeah, math is hard, folks. What's your favorite

pastime? No, no. No, no, no, no, no, not at all.

No, but I like this one. I thought this was great.

I thought it was fun. I thought it was funny.

The mega scrapbook of Ganza. Like, not everything

has to be a Ganza, Phineas, but I get it. Did

you hear what Candice said? Candice said, she

goes, the Jerabilia. I'm like, oh my God. The

Jerabilia. Yeah. Oh my God. I liked that. I actually

said that to myself several times so that I would

remember Jerabilia. And Herbland. That was the

other one. Welcome to Ferdland. Welcome to Ferdland.

That's right. It was funny because Phineas turns

to Isabella and she just bears him down, you

know, and I'm like, did she have the day off?

No. Does she have a non -speaking role today?

Is she on vacation? But no, at the end, it turns

out she was on a, uh, she's getting her not speaking

badge. Yeah, 24 hours of not not talking. Yep.

Yep. 24 hours of not talking badge. Exactly.

And I thought, wow, she took a vow of silence.

She hasn't. She's in. She's the evil nun now.

Oh, God, no. Somebody's worst nightmare. Isabella

is an evil nun. Isabella is better than that.

Their evil nun vow of silence. God. Ah, it's

funny. That's that's crazy. Ferv actually had

more than one line today. Yes, he did only when

he's talking with himself Well, yeah, I mean

he's talking to himself. But again, it's still

he's got more than one line the giant 3d scrapbook

song and regular -sized scrapbook song and then

Watching and waiting was an instrumental somewhere

in the episode You know, we had love handle in

there today. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Always nice

to see the love handle. They were underused.

Yeah They got to sing. I guess that's enough.

Yeah, that's, you know, one or two. They got

two songs. And, uh, oh, translating for Sullen.

Yes. Oh my God. That was hilarious. It should

have been teenager. Be like, Oh, I speak teenager.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, And yeah, no,

selling is much better, because Buford is a...

At times, Buford can be very dark. Is he selling

as well? Yeah, oh yeah. Because I, too, am strange

and unusual. Yep. This is funny. I guess if it

was teenager, it'd be like, all I got is a Skivity,

Ohio scrapbook, and I need something with Riz.

No, no, no, no, no, no hell no No, there is no

such thing. I know what our life is gonna be

today. It is called charisma Say it out loud

folks charisma It goes for days. No, I hate the

abbreviations of actual freaking words Enius

and Ferb I want to be the grizzly bear Good times

He can't see you can't see it folks, but my eyes

are rolling so far up into my brain Right now

no Whoa These people today these fucking kids

today. They're ruining the English language.

Oh man old man yells a cloud. That's right Get

off my lawn Get off my lawn I know you skipper

the Ohio kids Get off my lawn. Go back to Ohio

where you belong, damn kids. That's right. With

your hippin' and your hoppin' and your tickin'

and your talkin'. Get outta here before I phantom

text you. Pull up your damn pants, you morons!

Oh, God. Yeah, no. No abbreviations. Hell, some

abbreviations, yes, but that one, when I started

hearing that... the word Riz, I'm like, what

the, what the, is that, and why the, and then

I figured out, I found out what it was, and I'm

like, oh, that's, like, I'm one of the laziest

people you'll ever meet in the world, but that's

just mother lazy. Like, that, oh god, that, that

just, oh, I already have brain damage, folks,

I don't want my brain to pop out of my head,

you gotta stop with the super abbreviations of

real, actual, intelligible words. yeah i did

it again yeah yeah cheers for fears no cap oh

yeah exactly nope and out nope nope on a rope

that's right that's right i do love uh i do love

buford and phineas buford's like nice touch smells

like my grandma i thought your grandma smelled

like ant pheromones that's the other one Because

yeah, I didn't get that one. Oh grandma's always

smell like something You know and for what was

it? I thought that was a reference to a previous

episode that I just didn't remember Yeah, it

was probably the giant the Giants episode most

likely Okay, I'm glad you remembered I guess.

Oh, and the Ghostbusters reference. Yeah, the

Ghostbusters reference. It just popped in there.

Yeah, it just popped in there. Trying to think

of something innocuous, something that couldn't

possibly hurt us. Oh, no, it can't be. It's the

state of marshmallow man. It's a classic. Yeah,

somebody get the 40 or 50 foot, uh, Statue of

Liberty and have her walking down the street,

please. That's right. Playing to good vibes.

Uh huh. That's right. I was really surprised

that they didn't bring up actual horror movies,

though. I'm kind of glad they didn't. I'm kind

of glad that it was just like irrational fears.

Night of the Living Dead Batteries. Not yeah,

well there's that and then the prequel batteries,

but you know batteries actually work. Yeah Well,

it would have been funnier if it was batteries

alive, but yeah batteries that actually were

yeah Yeah, I like that it was actually do what

they're supposed to do exactly. I like that.

It was just sort of irrational Over emotional

like did this really isn't that scary? I mean,

other than the whole vending machine thing, but

the funny thing about the vending machine thing

is that they're actually scared of coins. That's

hilarious. I didn't get it. I was like, what

are you doing? How do you guys know? Okay. Like

you're. Ladies and gentlemen, are they being

impaled by the coins? Is that what they're doing?

Stabbed by coins? Okay, you go to a Coke machine,

you go to a Pepsi machine, you go to one of the

one of the snack that drops whatever machines.

You shove coins into essentially their mouth.

or their lungs, or their brain, or whatever.

Essentially, you're shoving coins in there. And

sometimes, because sometimes people don't clean

out their vending machines, you literally have

to shove the coins in there to get the thing

to work. So yeah, that's why the vending machines

were afraid of the coins, is because the coins

are committing assault on the vending machines.

Just assumed that would be, you know, pleasurable.

That's a whole other universe I don't know what

universe that is, but that's like the Phineas

and Ferb in the 17th dimension or something.

I don't know. Something like that. Something

like that. What do we know about Randy and Jason

Sklar? They showed up as some weird announcers,

but I didn't I don't recognize those names. I

wasn't sure if they were like some celebrity

guest or something. Let me let me look here.

I do not remember them. Lincoln, you'll miss

it. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Oh, you know what?

No, I'm thinking this is the wrong episode. No,

you show up. Yeah, this is next episode. We'll

bring them up later. No, it is Randy and Jason.

They're Mark and Marcus. Yeah, they were the

they're the announcers during the Sky Tennis

match. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. This is the next episode.

No, it was this episode, I think. Or maybe, well,

I don't know, whatever. Anyway, either way, I'm

already on the article here. We're going to talk

about it. Well, I'm already here, so. We'll get

to it. Jesus. All right, fine. What are you rating?

Oh, wait. Oh, wait, wait. Did you notice, and

this was in this episode, Candice is downtown

and she's doing research for the. You know, scrapbook.

And she stops by the coffee shop and she takes

the guy's tea. The hot chocolate. Yeah. Hot chocolate.

Yeah. She drinks it. She puts it down. Dan Pavemeyer.

Yep. That was the voice. That was his actual

voice. Yeah. Yeah. I was watching this with my

wife and I said, oh, that's Dan Pavemeyer's voice.

And she's like, that's nice to hear. And I'm

like, no, really, that's the voice of Doofenshmirtz,

except he's using his regular voice and not his

Doofenshmirtz voice. Yeah, his actual voice.

And she's like, that's next year. Yeah, your

wife doesn't really care about these cartoons.

She doesn't watch cartoons. She didn't happen

to be there while I was watching it. So it was

nice of her to accompany me during my research.

Yeah, no interesting cartoons no, but I was like,

oh hey There you go. And then the girl talked

and I was like, wow and I noticed that A leaky

graft was the Storyboard artist and I was wondering

if that was her and so I'm looking I'm looking

I'm like I thought because at one point I thought

they let her do a voiceover Yeah, they did. I

was looking at like additional voices and she

didn't show up but I was like, maybe then. Yeah,

maybe. I don't know. Maybe. No, that's Lila.

Never mind. I do not know because it does not.

Yeah, it doesn't. Oh, unfortunately, Lila. Yeah,

Lila's in the next one, I think, maybe she was

she she was in line at the. Yeah. At the convention.

And she said, I'm the only girl. I'm the only

girl. Yeah. She had one line. One line, how do

you get are they supposed to credit you if you

only have one line? Yeah, anytime you get a line

you get a credit All right, I just thought it

was funny. Yeah, no, absolutely good Well, she's

the only girl and she's the only human agent

because all of the other agents are animals and

animal But again, the funny part was that you

know, she's she's the only one she's the only

girl at the convention Yeah, that's what I just

said I know but it's just a joke is yes she is

amongst animals but again the only girl i understand

that you know convention before you do you know

right yes i get it i understand sausage fast

i'm saying yes yes yes we get it we understand

what i'm saying is she's the only human agent

in the entire polka calca alka whatever that

is why it would be funny the little kids who

had never been to a convention. Yeah, it works

on many levels. All right. What are you going

to rate? tears for why I almost called it tears

for fears of Cheers for fears. Yeah, you know,

I I like to I'm willing to give it a four Yeah,

I'm gonna give it a four point five It was just

a half point where like like I said some of the

fears are I mean, I get it everybody has irrational

fears, but like This is a dude who tries to take

over the tri -state area every episode and some

of these fears are like That's nice Like they're

not that scary like I get it. They're not trying

to make this a super, you know horror You know

Friday the 13th saw All of that stuff, but like,

I was expecting more stakes with Doof, so I take

a half point off. It's not that kind of cartoon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright folks, we'll be back

in a second. We are going to be moving on to

with sound effects. Not the real thing Download

the show on iTunes or if simplistic reviews dot

blog spot dot com I'm sure your insurance company

will cover that. No, they won't. No, they probably

won't I will rule the entire tri -state area

Oh man, Norm I told you on the paper on the paper

bad dog Looking good, guys. All we need to do

is hammer in this last nail, and we'll be ready

to go. Huh. That's odd. Glad I always carry a

spare. Whoa! Good thing you're wearing your steel

-tipped sneakers. Actually, today I'm not. Alright,

here we go. Just our luck when Doofenshmirtz

invents a s - Dinkle Krampinator. Come on, man.

This gotta be a better name. To increase his

chances of ruling the Tri -State area, he inadvertently

fires it at Phineas and Ferb and the gang, who

end up with bad luck while preparing for a Sky

Tennis match, and Candice, who gets a load of

luck. And thinks she has enough luck to bust

her brothers. Dun dun dun. Apparently there was

no doof plot in this because that description

says nothing about doof whatsoever. Oh no, no,

that's... It was a doof plot? I'm losing my mind,

folks. That's right, he created the stupid innator

that affected the kids. The innator? Yeah, the

innator. Oh lord. So, since I already brought

it up, the Sklar Brothers... They are American

identical twin brother actors and comedians.

They're best known for hosting cheap seats for

Phineas and Ferb. They voiced Marcus and Mark

in Just Our Luck. The other stuff that they've

done... I couldn't... Like literally, some of

the voices like... You couldn't get anybody else

to be the the tennis announcers like you can

actually get a tennis announcer to do the voice

but okay sure fine yeah that's what I was asking

like who are these guys. They wrote and appeared

on ESPN Sports Center in a comedic segment called

The Bracket. Randy and Jason occasionally fill

in for Jim Rome on the Jim Rome show on the radio.

I don't know how long ago that was but Yeah Oh,

this is interesting. There's a Breaking Bad Better

Call Saul reference They made two cameo appearances

in Better Call Saul as the owners of a music

shop who are purchasing television commercials

from the suspended lawyer Jimmy McGill Okay Okay

Whatever Don't care Yeah, I said you you couldn't

have gotten two actual people who announced tennis

matches like you couldn't have put in like Andre

Agassi or not Serena or Venus, but You know you

couldn't you couldn't have put someone in there

that was actually actual people I mean these

are actual people I guess but but I'm saying

like you could a nice way to put actual announcers

like actual sports announcer like put in Jim

Nance or I know he doesn't announce tennis stuff,

but like put in Joe. What's his nuts? God, what's

his name? The baseball guy. Oh god The Red Sox

when the world's here. Oh god, what's Joe what

the Joe's last name? Not Clark Whatever anyway,

okay, it was fine. It was it was a cameo thing.

It didn't really matter. I Mean it mattered,

but it didn't really matter Okay, I don't know

The rest of the episode was funny though. Yeah,

it was all right. Yeah Good luck, bad luck. Doof

becomes lucky. And Roger is always lucky. He

doesn't matter. And the crazy thing was throughout

this whole thing, Perry was asleep. Like Perry,

come on, man. He was asleep until he didn't need

to be asleep. Because he worked too late. Because

everyone else was at the convention. Yeah. The

Sausage Fest convention. Yes, exactly. Yeah,

I am I am trying to remember the name of this

one What just month just our luck? Yeah, cuz

I'm looking at the wiki and it's not paired up

with Cheers for Fears the way it should be It's

paired up with steampunks oddly. Oh Interesting.

That's weird. Yeah, I was I was like that's not

right. It is on mine Just our luck. Yes, it is.

It's paired up with tears for fears. You're looking

at the wrong episode I guess I am. Very strange.

Hold on. At the bottom under next, it just says

steampunks. Well, yeah, next, because yeah, but.

Yeah, at the bottom, next would be steampunks,

but at the very top in the description, it's.

Huh, that's weird. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Anyway, you know, you know, we have another thing

to point out to the wiki people. So, hey, man,

fix that link. That's all messed up. We blame

you. I was thrown into a perpetual loop there

and it's their fault. Yeah, I feel for Perry

in this case, because, you know, I often fall

asleep in an opportune moments. Mm hmm. Oh, my

me all the time. Yeah, my dad can fall asleep

anywhere. Literally anywhere. I fell asleep at

a stoplight once. Yeah? I fell asleep waiting

for a train. That was embarrassing. The guy behind

me actually came around and knocked on my window.

Probably thought I died. Oh, jeez. Yeah, I know.

It's embarrassing. But I try really hard to get

enough sleep now. Yeah, gotta get the good sleep.

It's important, you know, I mean you don't realize

it until you know when you're younger and it's

like yeah I can stay up to three in the morning

and still make it to school by seven And you're

cool with it and you get a little bit older and

it's like no your body doesn't work the same

way It's it's not gonna fly. Yeah No, not at

all. But yeah, I would strongly advise against

like Zip lining while you had to the influence

of a bad luckinator Yeah, that's not exactly

I felt sure they were going to die. Pretty sure.

Yeah. Something terrible is going to happen,

but they had embedded enough safety overrides

that they were all OK. Which was nice. Thankfully.

Yeah. Thankfully, yeah. Is good luck anti -stinkle

cramping? They didn't actually say. I don't know,

and I don't know if I want to know. I don't know

if I care. Apathy I don't know and I don't care

Mm -hmm. I mean, it's not that I don't care.

It's just that I don't know man. It just feels

like And it's a weird freaking name like doof

come on man Is there a reason why they can't

say bad luckinator? Yeah, I was like why like

Yeah, like yeah or The luck of the doofen schmertz

instead of the luck of the Irish or the unlucky

doofen like they could have done so many other

things Yeah, well, I mean it was kind of funny

and it gave them an excuse to do a little backstory

Mm -hmm. That was kind of neat They they had

a potted plant Yeah, that was funny Linda has

a good she goes on a potted plant retreat comes

back early with a potted plant It's a hat put

on him and just granted a hat. Yeah. I need the

potted plant. Yep. Yep. Yep. And he, the potted

plant did not go to the convention and I felt

a little bad for planty. I know what it's like

to miss out on conventions. The whole time we've

been talking folks, I've been trying to figure

out who the hell the stupid guy was that I was

trying to think that would have been a better

announcer than the guy, than the score brothers.

Joe somebody? It was Joe Buck. Back to full.

Red Sox fans have longed to hear it. The Boston

Red Sox are world champions. They used to do

the baseball announcing that I was thinking of

and I'm like, okay, sure. How did I forget that?

Is Joe Buck still alive? He should be as far

as I know. God, now you ask me that. I'm like,

oh great, here we go. We didn't want to dig up

Joe Buck, literally. No, he's yeah. No, he's

still alive 16. He's 55 years old. Oh All right,

then Yeah, totally could have got him. I guess

if they watched anything that he announced Hey,

man, maybe they just wanted to get announcers

that the kids would recognize And again, why

wouldn't you get somebody from the tennis world?

Even if it wasn't a person that announced tennis

matches You could have gotten like I said earlier

on John McEnroe Yeah, you could have gotten John

McEnroe, you could have gotten Anna Kornikova

or the Wilson, or not Wilson. Anna Kornikova.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see that TV series

where John McEnroe does the voiceover? What's

the name of the series? It's called You on Netflix.

Oh, yes, yes. John McEnroe, this is inner monologue.

Uh, it's funny. It's not funny. That show is

creepy as all hell. It's a good show. I'm not

saying it's not a good show. I'm saying it's

creepy as all hell. See, they could have got

John McEnroe. Would have been awesome. Yeah.

Before Karen passed in 2021, we watched the first

two seasons of it and, uh, holy crap. Oh boy.

That's, that's some deal. That requires. Hmm.

You know how they always say all golf requires

is goofy pants and a fat ass? Netflix's You requires

either lots of alcohol or your attention span

to be dialed in to the traumatic crap that that

show is going to show you, because holy crap,

that show is deep. I don't think he was that

bad. Editor TF2 and Mike here, and I'm throwing

Michael Wilson onto the bus, folks, because he

thought that John McEnroe was the narrator in

Netflix's series You, starring Penn Badgley and

others. It's not him in there. John McEnroe was

the narrator in Never Have I Ever. Quick correction,

now back to the show. I liked it. Yeah, I'm not

saying bad I'm just saying like you need to real

like in order to watch that show You need to

be in a certain mindset to realize that yeah

I'll buy that shirt heavy deep shit that's gonna

happen here and it's going to affect you in ways

that you probably can't even make it sound like

Dexter or something it wasn't. It's a little

darker than Dexter I think actually is darker

than Dexter really a little bit yeah. Cause Dexter,

he either is a serial killer or a former serial

killer. No, he is. Every episode is like blood

and, you know, body horror. It's, yeah. I didn't

quite get that from you. You was more psychological.

Yeah, and that's exactly. And a lot of people

these days can't handle that. Yeah, and that's

why the Sklar brothers are the announcers. I

guess. I don't know. I am taking two full points

off because bad announcing. So I'm going to give

it a three out of five. I did a fine job announcing.

I just didn't like skinness. Yeah. I don't like

that name. Sky tennis, Guinness. That's so nice.

Tennis tennis on a zip line that makes absolutely

if you miss what happens, your ball goes across

town. I mean, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah,

none of that made any sense. I wasn't a fan.

I was just like alright, you know I mean honestly,

I think if it was me I would be purposely cutting

all the zip lines just so I could use the rocket

pads and the bouncy Safety features, you know,

you know, but like we said at least there were

safety features East Oh an almond brittle huge

amounts of almond brittle. Oh my god. No That's

right with a big s on it Side because everybody

knows not to open the can with the big ass on

the side. Mm -hmm And then do even says oh, I

guess I should have known about this since I

got it from a giant clown Do no better should

have known better Yeah, I should have known better.

I am giving it a three out of five. What about

you? Uh, I don't see a reason not to give it

a three. I mean it wasn't great, but it wasn't

awful There were like I said two points off is

not bad and and there were some really cool moments

in it but overall the overall story of the stuff

like Just know like there could have been a bunch

of other sports that they could have invented

Like you could have done them all already. I

mean, we've got like four dimensional soccer

and I mean, it's only so much you can do We've

got like, what was that? Seven dimensional soccer,

I think. Hey, maybe. Yeah. Something like that.

MC Escher soccer. Yeah. But like this episode,

instead of using a zipline, they could have done

like sky surfing or something, or they could

have done anything other than what they did.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, we're getting pretty deep

in, and we're probably running out of gags, I

guess. I mean, I do like the ingenuity of the

kids of realizing, oh, we have bad luck, so we

have to compensate for that. And like you said,

the jetpack, the bouncy thing, so the safety

features are worked into that, so all that. That's

fine and cool and dandy. The overall thing about

ziplining through... The whole point of a zipline

is you start up really, really high and you go

to the ground. You don't travel horizontally

down the street. Like, this isn't a freaking

car in here. What if it could be? How neat. I

like to say it's not Disney without parental

death, but they can't kill children. Nothing

bad was going to happen to the kids. It's not

Disney without parental death. Yeah, you're not

wrong. Disney, Bambi, you got the Lion King,

you got Finding Nemo. Cinderella. Yeah, parents

are now safe. Not safe. Bad things happen to

parents in Disney movies. Yes, yes they do. And

I am stealing a joke from Matt from Yamad. Did

you hear about the little fish who had cancer?

Finding chemo. That's awful. Yeah, it is awful.

It's awful, I know, I know. But like I said,

I'm crediting Yeah Mad and Matt, who told the

joke on Yeah Mad. It's a new, it's not, they've

been around for a while, but it's new to me,

so I've been, I've been, they do a lot of good

jokes. I'm just gonna say, there's an anecdote.

Both my kids are in German in high school, right?

Yep. I was showing this, uh, prepping for this

and my son comes in and he says, Oh, you know

that he sees Stinkle Crampon and he goes, Oh,

that's funny because I just had to write something

in German. And, uh, he wrote a story about how

he met a platypus on the road and the platypus

had a hat. And he said, now the platypus has

a hat and he's a secret agent. And I'm like,

Really? And he's like, yeah, and he showed it

to me, and he wrote it in German. But the word

is Schnabeltier. And I said, is the word for

platypus in German platypus? And he's like, no,

it's Schnabeltier. Like, Schnabeltier? What the

hell's a Schnabeltier? And it just made me giggle

because it was like, I'm Schnabeltier. And then

he puts on the hat, Perry die Schnabeltier. I

just laughed really hard, but I thought it was

funny that we have this pseudo German, you know,

language here and in this episode and then, and

then, you know, and then we're introduced to

Schnabel tier. Schnabel tier. I want to hear

a dad say schnabel tier. It's a schnabel tier.

Very nice schnabel tier. It's funny. Absolutely.

Made me giggle. Yep. On that note, folks, with

the schnubble tears in our eyes, we are going

to go to a quick ad break. You're going to hear

some ads for some other podcasts that we promote

on the network and we'll come back to close the

show right after this. I was using my PhD, my

pillow hurling dexterity. Nah, still lucky. Welcome

to my throne room, Future Tales. The Beast Unleashed

podcast is over, not gone. You can hear more

of this great podcast, discussing all the episodes

of Beast Wars and Beast Machines on GeekCastRadio

.com. We include voice actor and writer interviews

with stellar hosting by Steve, Mike and Michael.

Head on over to iTunes or the Net or else I will

send you my vehicles to extract your spark and

destroy you. Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm the host of

the Rock Nerd Radio Show, which airs live on

HudsonRiverRadio .com every Wednesday evening

at 8 .30 p .m. Eastern Standard Time. It also

gets backed up as a podcast, which you can find

on your preferred podcasting platform. Every

week on my show, I talk about all kinds of pop

culture. I talk about music. I talk about movies,

TV, comics, collectibles, and so much more. I

also feature a guest on my show periodically,

which you might enjoy. I have a couple of special

segments of them on my show, one called the Cover

Song of the Week and my favorite thing in the

world this week. If you think this sounds cool,

check it out sometime. I hope you do. UpNerd

is a podcasting network of shows hosted by me,

The Uneven Flow. People have told me I like to

talk at them about a pretty wide range of topics,

comics, games, movies, books, whatever, and now

I'll be able to talk at you. Along with the weekly

show will be two bi -weekly shows. First we have

Fine You Pick, a show where one host picks a

movie, then both hosts have to watch it. Then

the next episode, the other host picks the movie.

Each show will have a breakdown of why it is

that movie was picked by that host, after which

will be a discussion about what it is we just

watched. Lastly, we have the show Top 3 Bottom

3. Similarly to Fine You Pick, one host picks

a television series, and the next week the pick

alternates to the other host. Here the episodes

of the show are chosen by the Top 3 episodes

and the Bottom 3 episodes, as rated on IMDb .com.

Yes, this is probably the worst way to watch

and review a television show, and yes, that's

the idea. On our shows, I'll detail out how you

can suggest things for us to watch, you can reach

out and talk with the hosts, and maybe even appear

on an episode. I hope you'll join me for this

exciting new podcast adventure. I swear we're

going to make it more than eight episodes. The

magic of the Cybernet Space Cube. The computer

advanced to race of the Transformers. Transformers

Generation 2. Wrong. This is not Generation 2.

This is Generation 1 done right. The year will

be 2014, and from secret staging grounds on two

of Cybertron's moons, the valiant podcasters

prepare to reclaim their reputations. September

17, 2014, the TFG2 Podcast premieres 45 podcast

episodes dedicated to all 98 episodes of the

Generation 1 cartoon, plus so much more than

meets the ear. Join TFG1 Mike, Pecanquart Michael,

Optimus Solo, and sometimes Steve Megatron as

they redo TFG1 and get it done right. You can

find the TFG2 Podcast on www .keycastradio .com

and iTunes. All right, folks, we are back. It

is day 94 of the podcast organization without

a cool acronym. Any final thoughts before I run

through the closing, sir? No. I was like the

one line in the song that threw me off was like

they didn't have anything to rhyme with the previous

line. So instead, they said, I have a character.

Bandage on my knee. Yeah, I'm like that that

is inexplicable. It doesn't make any sense, but

it was a ducky Momo appearance So I guess it

counts and counts but it still sucked It is funny

because in preparation for the for the new episodes

they've been putting out videos of how they create

the music, you know, and it's basically just

One person in front of a piano and him, you know,

making notes and trying to trying to make words

rhyme. When I say him, I mean, Dan Pavlmeyer,

you know, trying to make words rhyme. And I can

just imagine them sitting here like, I don't

know, I got a Ducky Momo bandage on my knee.

Yeah, that'll work. Yeah, print it. That's lunch.

Haha, that's right food services is out. Ah,

we're done here. Come on. Let's go. We're done

here We're all going to Ryan's steakhouse or

go Charlie's or Golden Corral or whatever the

hell. Ew, gross Tell me you don't drink from

the chocolate fountain. That is awful You don't

know how many people had their fingers in that.

Oh my god. No, but ew You just had to say chocolate

fountain and it makes me - No! You said golden

corral! You've ever been to a golden corral?

That's their whole thing! Yes! That's their whole

thing! Chocolate fountain! Yeah, no! No, no,

no, no, no, no. See, here's the thing. You see,

you know, I said golden corral because yes, I

have been to a golden corral before. Yes, I know

that's kind of their thing. But... We at one

point was it 1718 or 19. It was one of those

years. I forget which year it was You me Karen

and Chrissy all went out to the chocolate sanctuary

in Gurney, Illinois and I can say this because

unfortunately That restaurant closed down a couple

of years ago. It made me so upset Because they

had yeah that place was awesome, but they had

a chocolate fountain that was actually good I

want to say they actually brought it to the table,

so it was like your personal chocolate fountain.

It wasn't like a buffet where random people stick

their fingers in it. It was an orderable item

that they brought to your table, and it was amazing.

I think I still have pictures of us on Facebook

with the thing. I'm going to have to look those

up after the show. Dig that up. Oh, yeah. Dig

that up like a ... Empty coffer poppers grave

or whatever the hell Anyway, folks, I think that's

For now, I am TF2 on mic with... Michael Wilson.

Thank you for listening, until next time. Oh

yeah, and unleash the geek in you. Wow, that

could have gone better. Alright, what is... I

want to make sure that's correct, because if

it's not correct, then... we screwed. Don't do

that. Sorry. I was holding that back the whole

time. That's what the, that's what the judicious

use of mute is for. Oh, you know, I tell you,

I've had judicious use of mute several times.

Season three, four seasons. You're careful. Actually,

it was funny because I like paused and I had

this outrageous belcher that I unpause there

and you were... You were reading something. So

you were like very quiet and I'm like, Oh, he

heard that. Nope. I didn't hear a thing. And

the lucky thing is on my, the microphone that

I have now, the mute button is literally at the

top so I can just like slide my finger. Nice.

We're right over it. Like you can't hear everything

that I'm saying because Sliding really see I

I thought you were just like timing your words

there. You're like mother and you know Is he

saying it like that is he trained himself to

automatically censor him so is that just a judicious

use of mute Sometimes I will say the F -bomb

and sometimes I won't. You got the thumb button

handy there, right? Oh, no, no, no. That's only

if I need to belch or if I need to move, like

if I need to move in my chair and I don't want

the, I don't want to have to cut that out in

the editing, I will hit mute. Yep, yep, yep.

But no, the, you mother... Yeah, no, I've trained

myself to do that because... You're just good

with the mute button, I wasn't sure. Nope, that's

just me.
