About this Episode

TFTR Mike and Steve Megatron dive into a collection of photoshopped movie and TV mashups from the 80s and 90s, discussing what these mashups would actually be about if they were real films. From "Blanche to the Future" to "Ferris Bueller's Face Off" to "Alan Wonderland," they explore the humor and creativity behind these internet memes, plus tech upgrades Steve's been working on and why it's important to do your research before buying new gear.

Hi, this is Tom Ruger and you are listening to

the Geekcast Radio Network. You're listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. Unleash the Geek

in you. This is GeekCast Radio episode 302. That's

right, folks, 302. I am, of course, TFTR Mike.

And joining me once again for the second time,

not in a row, but for the second time in recent

times is Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. Hello. And

today we are doing a mashup. We're getting the

potatoes out where we're scrunching them down

and mashing them together. So you wanna? This

is your idea, so you want to give the background

on this? So, basically, the idea here is... To

help you out, I made a top ten list of things

to make you more attractive for your... for your

sex symbol husband. Uh -oh. You got a light,

buddy? Yeah, sure, kid. There you go. And your

wallet. Nick, give him your wallet. What for?

He's got a knife. That's not a knife. That's

a knife. It's, it's... This guy that that mashed

up a bunch of various movies or TV shows creating

basically like a 80s 90s mix up. Yeah. And in

doing so they have. Created. I guess they've

created memes out of 80s and 90s movies and there

are we are going to be talking about. or seven,

nine, something like that. It's like 10 images

or whatever it is. And I've got them all in alphabetical

order because that's just how I roll when I label

things and whatever else. So you found this in...

You were in... I was laughing about it. Well,

yeah, and I am too, but you and I, obviously

we've been doing this for X number of years.

We've been best friends for X number of years.

You were in a lot of Facebook groups that I am

not in, and you send me some stuff sometimes,

and it's like, oh my God, where did he find that?

But it's funny. No, it is. It's absolutely hilarious.

I consider myself an 80s kid, even though I primarily

grew up in the 90s. I did grow up with a lot

of 80s properties. I love 80s movies. I love

the 80s synth sound. I love a lot of the animation

that came out of the 80s. I kind of like this

bridge between the two. I'm a member of this

group. I don't know how I came across it. I grew

up in the 80s and the 90s. I was like, okay,

that's kind of me. This guy did some photo shops,

these meme photo shops, mixing different movies.

They have one of Back to the Future and The Golden

Girls, and it's Blanche to the Future. Oh, why

didn't you put that in the... Dude. Wow. I'm

looking at this. Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. Not

all The Golden Girls could fit in the time machine,

but... Yeah, that's awesome. But it's funny.

They've got these different, they use the imagery

of the houses and then the fonts of whatever

it may be. Then you've got crocodile Bundy, Ferris

Bueller's face off. There's a ton of these little

meme things, Teenage Ninja turtlenecks. Yeah,

the turtlenecks ones, goofy as all get up. I

was having fun looking at all of these because

it's a lot of it's way on words. Yeah, it is.

But why didn't you send me more of these? Like

I said, right before we started the show, we

go, we're not going to talk about this for long.

We're just going to, you know, go. You know,

I kind of wrote down of the nine or 10 that we

have, I kind of wrote down what, because the

whole thing was when you said it to me was like,

Oh, let's do this and let's try to figure out

what those movies would be. Hence why I made

the list. I mean, there's a ton of them. They

have Vin Diesel, Vin, and they have Tony Hulk.

Which we will talk about later. The Bounty Hunter.

With bounty paper towels. Sears. Oh, God. That's

so 80s. What? The Casio? No Sears. Oh instead

of cheers Sears Yeah, and they have step -by

-step brothers. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep Lisa's revenge.

Yep the only one I don't like is Because it doesn't

add anything to it other than putting a football

player in there is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Oh,

I think that's funny I don't know. Or Stranger

Rings. Yes, Stranger Rings. Precious, yes. Spider

-Man the way Home Alone. Home Alone, yeah, I

saw that one, yeah. I think Raiders of the Lost

Ark, I think it would have been better if they

used a different Harrison Ford movie. Patriot

Games, and you could put... Tom Brady or whoever

from the Patriots on there with, with, um, Paris

and in like a bill Belichick Patriots coach.

That would have been better. I don't know. It

is what it is. So yeah, so we have all these

cool things and we're going to talk about them.

And like I said, I was trying to come up with

like little things of what the. Like, what would

the movie be about? Like what, you know, like

Alan Wonderland. It's basically Al Bundy in Wonderland.

In Al, he's already in Wonderland anyway. He's

got a bunch of weirdos in his town. He's playing

this dude that's just working basic crap job.

The Al in Wonderland, I think it's funny that

they put Peg as the Mad Hatter. Well, she kind

of is the man and then he's got this confused

look on his face like what yeah, and the dog

is like the stoner cat Yep Yeah, the dog is uh,

oh, what's the damn kid the Cheshire cat? Yeah,

but I mean, it's just I don't know like some

of the some of the ingenuity that goes into these

is humorous as all get up I Can see I could see

this being something though. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah Alan Wonderland, what I wrote down was,

was, Al just wants to get back home to drink

beer, watch football, and stick his hand down

his pants, but he's stuck in Wonderland. That's

one beer too many. Yeah, absolutely. He, yeah,

I don't, yeah, that, that, hmm, he must've smelled

a bad shoe. Yeah, exactly. And even though they

aren't twins, I was thinking with Al and Wonderland,

between Jefferson and Steve, who would be Tweedledee

and who would be Tweedledum? Because if you think

about it, Jefferson Darcy and Steve Rhodes, who

were both Marcy's husbands, they were both kind

of... Crazy pushing they were more pushover characters

than anything else in the show like lasted the

longest. I can't remember I believe it was Jefferson,

but I would yeah, I think so character lasted

like a season Yeah, so I would have to look that

up. But yeah Al in Wonderland. I'm See I don't

see peg is the Mad Hatter I see Kelly and bud

as the Mad Hatter in the March hair I see Peg

as the evil queen. That would be the, hello,

Peggy always wanted to do, you know, whatever.

Well, I could see her being the Mad Hatter. I

could see the neighbor being the queen. Oh, Marcy.

Yes, yes. Being the crazy dictator of the neighborhood.

So, okay, the between Steve Road, David Garrison

and Ted McGinley. Steve Rhodes played by David

Garrison, 1987 and 1990, 92, 93, 95 and 2002.

Ted McGinley is Jefferson Darcy. 1989, 1991 to

1997, so I guess they had almost equal time?

No, Jefferson has more. 166. It's weird though

that they had an overlap. Yeah, yeah, 87 to 90

and then, yeah, that is weird. Interesting. Yeah,

I thought that they wrote one out, but apparently

they must not have. Well, I swear, didn't they

kill Steve off? I thought so. I don't know. I

thought so. I got to go back and watch Married

with Children. I mean, I know it's not a show

anyone should watch in 2022 because of the time

that it was made in. No one cares. No, no, no.

I know. But I'm just saying. The product of its

time. It's like saying, you know, are you offended

by South Park or the Simpsons? Oh, man. All right.

So next up, we have Boy meets Jurassic world

See here I'm now by myself Talking to myself.

That's that's okay. I am shocked and dismayed

Well now you can't be both you be shocked. I'll

be dismayed I see Cory and Sean getting into

trouble With the dinosaurs accidentally turning

off the dinosaur cage. Yeah Then I see Feeney

being the one, I think it's funny that they have

Mr. Turner on the picture too, and Topanga, and

Eric, and they also have - Jeff Goldblum. Jeff

Goldblum. Well, you've got to have one cast member

from the other side of the mashup, so that's

the one to have. Well, they have the dinosaur

there. But he's the one I would equate with Jurassic

Park for sure. No, absolutely. Yeah. He's a great

actor. But what I find funny is I could see a

raptor cornering Eric and then him yelling, Feeny,

Feeny! Like, you know, and then Feeny, you know,

trying to talk the dinosaur away. And then Mr.

Turner, like, trying to chase it off with a motorcycle.

And then ending up as, you know, food. But as

sad as that is. But yeah, I don't know. As horrible

as this one is of a mashup, it has me probably

the most intrigued. Because you have Mr. Squirrels.

Yep, versus dinosaurs. Versus dinosaurs. And

you kind of think about it, you know, the raptors

coming after them and he's like, get them, you

know, and sends his little squirrel army after

them. Yep. Absolutely. It's the most absurd,

but it's the funniest sounding one. Yeah, absolutely

it is. There are, there is one in here that I

just don't. I mean I get the reference, but I

don't under like I don't understand what it like

what the okay, so I'm just gonna skip right to

it Casio for casino 1996 is casino. I remember

the movie casino I understand the reference that

they're making here with the Casio, but I don't

know how like Okay, everybody in the casino is

gonna be using Casio products. That's not really

like It's a nice little picture. It's a nice

little whatever, but it I don't see a movie coming

out of this Because like we said about boy about

boy meets Jurassic world you have to have something

for one side to do with the other side like Cory

and Feeny and everybody versus dinosaurs well

that makes sense Casio I Mean I haven't seen

the movie casino, so I have no idea the reference

Yeah, so casino was a night I believe it was

1996 and it was Like one of these action type

type movies Why don't we talk about breakfast

fight club while I do some casino research here

breakfast fight club That that one was kind of

ingenuitive Aside from a few others that I saw

in there, because you have the Breakfast Club

and then you have Brad Pitt for Fight Club. Well,

yeah. I mean, that's all you need is Brad Pitt

for Fight Club. I mean, the way I wrote it out

was it was something like, what did I say? I

said the Breakfast Club versus Vernon and Brad

Pitt, but you can't talk about the Breakfast

Fight Club. So in reality, they beat the principal

to a pulp to get out of detention. Pretty much,

yeah. What happened to them? We don't talk about

it. Yeah, we don't. We don't talk about what

happened that Saturday afternoon. I think one

of my favorites, and it's not just because the

season five is coming, but one of my favorites

is Cobra Pie. And Before I realize like I understand

why it like but I didn't really look at like

I saw the title and I'm like, oh cool I have

a line Cobra pie, but with pies instead of martial

arts Except for the fact that I went back and

I looked at the image again. I'm like, what the

fuck is Jim? What's his name? Eugene Levy and

all. And then I realized, oh, shit, it's American

pie. I love it. I absolutely love it. But it's

oh, my God. Great. It's a great swap there. Yeah.

Crocodile Bundy, you mentioned this earlier.

I don't know. I kind of like that because it's

it's. Pretty funny. Have you seen the original

and the sequel film? I haven't seen the sequel.

I saw the original film a long time ago. I probably

should re -watch it for a future studio. Yep,

we're going to do that. The original film is

the Sue character going to Australia and she

meets up with Mick Dundee, played by Paul Hogan,

who is this guy. And she basically takes him

back to... No, she spends the time in Australia.

I gotta make sure I get this right. She spends

the time in Australia in the first film and the

second film, I believe, she goes... or he goes

to the city, something. There's some sort of

switcheroo where she goes to Australia and either

brings him back to the city, yeah, she brings

him back to the city in the first film. And the

second film, I think she goes to Australia and

stays or something. I don't know. But I don't

know how this would work because Crocodile Bundy,

the image has all four main cast members and

the dog of Merry With Children. Obviously Al

would be Crocodile Bundy. I guess Peg technically

could be Sue. but there were no kids in those

movies. I don't know what the hell, Kellyanne,

but that's the thing. Like you, I haven't seen

these movies in forever, so I have to go back.

Obviously, you hear Crocodile Dundee. You're

like, oh, I remember that, and then you realize

you really don't. It's where Al makes shoes out

of crocodiles and sells them to women. Oh, boy.

No, one of the comments on this particular picture

somebody wrote, Al would have definitely fed

Peg and the kids to the alligators. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah. He would or dreamed of or dreamed of it

because he had a lot of dreams where he dreamed

of like something unsavory happening. Oh God,

I forgot. Crocodile Dundee has three films. Oh

my god. I thought it did. Yeah, so it's got the

original from 86, the sequel in 88, and then

in Los Angeles was done in 2001, so just over

20 years ago. Yeah, damn. Oh, man. Yeah, so all

right, up next, going off of the Bundys. I, I,

I think this would be amazing. I want to see

this. I know they'll never make this, but again,

films we definitely have to cover in like, I

love this, the original movie, but Ferris Bueller's

Face Off. Now we covered Ferris Bueller a long

ass time ago over on Movie Week in Review. I

am pretty damn sure that we have never covered

Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Face Off. on any

podcast and we're going to have to do a double

feature, Ferris Bueller's Face Off. We're just

going to have to watch both these podcasts. That's

what we should do. We should do some of these,

watch them back to back and see which one we

like better. Yep. Especially with some of the

easy ones like this. It's there each one movie

there is no universe there is no serious like

seven seven see yeah there's no serious is no

seven sequels there each there one off. Up next

in my photos is raiders of the lost ark and.

The more i think about it the more i don't like

it and the only thing i wrote down was archaeological

football what the. Like that's all I can think

of is them trying to Indiana Jones teaching football

Getting the language at legendary pig pigskin

from the 1300s And then we have Teenage Mutant

Ninja Turtlenecks I Mean The only thing I can

think of is you take the original movie and set

it in winter. Have it be snow and sleet and slush

and whatever. No, you have it as a four camera

at one of those sitcoms. Oh, okay. All right.

Do it as Cheers. You have all four of them going

into the sewer and then Master Splinter's there

running the show. random other people just kind

of show up, you know, Baxter Stockman and all

these other guys. And, you know, they're just

in turtlenecks, you know, because they work day

jobs. Yeah. Nobody thinks anything different.

You know, nobody cares that it's a rat that owns

the place and a bunch of turtles that just happen

to talk. That wear turtleneck sweaters all the

time. Yeah. Where's your shell? It's under my

turtleneck. Yep. Yeah. Okay. That works. And

then finally I have Tony Hulk. What I wrote down

was Tony Hulk's pro skater making his way through

the WWF with a skateboard, brother. Brother.

Yeah, brother. Or like how Macho Man beat people

with a folding chair. He uses a skateboard. And

he wears a helmet so he never gets hurt. He skates

on the rings and backflips on them That's horrible

There's quite a few other ones on this site on

this this particular post like I said, they have

venom dog the bunny hunter Yeah, there's Step

-by -step brothers saved by the shell Lisa's

revenge Yeah The never ending Maury. Yeah. That

would be torture, man. Who wouldn't want to watch

him? Okay, so at some point, just us looking

at all of this, folks, is just me and Steve both

just making plans and making thoughts of future

studio episodes. I now want to do an episode.

basically on the 90s talk shows. So Donahue and

Jerry Springer. No, no, no. That would be hilarious,

actually. That would be hilarious. Well, OK.

So the funny thing is, I know you're I know you're

not the biggest true crime fan, true crime TV,

like Unsolved Mysteries and Forensic Files. Unsolved

Mysteries, Robert Stack. Well, yeah, absolutely.

Or William Shatner, rescue 911. Yeah. Well, rescued.

No it wasn't. Reno 911 was the spoof. Yeah. Yeah,

so what I find interesting is I grew up watching

America's Most Wanted, I grew up watching Unsolved

Mysteries and then True Crime kind of went away

for a while and then I found Forensic Files.

And i'm just like oh my god this is amazing i

love peter thomas's voice and sadly he is no

longer with us he's been gone for a couple years

now. But. I was in two thousand eight two thousand

not somewhere between two thousand eight and

no it was somewhere between twenty ten and twenty

fourteen. I found so discovery networks war discovery

whatever the hell are calling themselves now

but discovery. You know, discovery channel and

all that. They put out a true crime channel called

investigation discovery. And on that channel

at one point or another, they put out a series

that I think only had one season called tabloid.

Guess who hosted that true crime series. So Jerry

Springer. It's amazing. I mean, he's only hosting

it. And most of these true crime shows, when

you're hosting them, it's like, here, let me

introduce this to you. And then you watch the

reenactment or whatever. And then the host might,

you know, if they have to go to commercial break,

he might come back in kind of thing. But I was

like, oh my God. And then there was one, was

it, is it Bad Moms? I know Bad Moms is a whole

reality thing, but there was some other one where

at the time before, I think it was before she

got canceled. Roseanne did one of the true crime

shows as well. But yeah, no, Neverending Mori.

That scares me more than the Precious' Stranger

Rings. Yeah. But the process. Yeah. There are

so many of these things here. Or 50's first date.

Mm -hmm. Yep. The Doonies. The Doonies. What's

sad is I would probably watch that. Oh yeah,

absolutely. Just because they have a show on

Netflix starting soon that's about Blockbuster.

Okay. And it takes place in the last Blockbuster

store in the world. Yep. There literally is one

open. I think it's in Washington or Oregon or

something. I wrote an article about it years

ago when I worked for a tech website. Yeah, it's

in Oregon. I think at the time of that article,

there were two left. One there and one in Alaska

or something and that other one closed. I'm cautiously

interested, you could say. Just because it's

absurd enough and I mean well everything we've

talked about in the last 26 minutes or so has

been mashups of things You would never think

to put together. No But funny no, it's absolutely

funny and it's absolutely great. But what my

point is saying that is There have been other

crossovers with things that You would never like

just never think and most of it happens in comics

mm -hmm and The most recent one for us over on

the pull bag that will be getting too soon is

Transformers back to the future from IDW publishing

now IDW has done a ton Ton of they did TMNT Ghostbusters

because they were the licensed comic company.

They had all the licenses to these things They

did two volumes of TMNT Ghostbusters. They did

Transformers Star Trek, which we covered. They

did Transformers Versus Terminator, which JT

and I will cover at some point in the future.

What else did they do? They did... Yeah, so I

mean... And crossovers are not unheard of and

not... Oh, the... One of the big ones they did,

one of the bigger big ones that they did that

I believe it was my buddy, yeah, my buddy Joe

Reed and I did these Batman TMNT. They had three

volumes of it, one, two, and three. And that

was, I love, they did He -Man Thundercats. So

they did that. So yeah, I mean, mashups and crossovers,

it just depends on what the story is going to

be. And it just depends on how good you can make

it. And looking at some of these that we've looked

at tonight, I, like you said, I can kind of visualize

some of these coming to life if anyone wanted

to do it. Of course, some of them would have

to be done 30 years ago at this point because

I don't think Feeny at 95 wants to be facing

dinosaurs in real life or in a film or, you know,

whatever. I don't know. Could be wrong. Yeah,

this is... It's a lot. It is a lot. And it's

really fun and it's really funny. My buddy Carter

Mann, what he calls himself, the radio god Carter

Mann, the former radio god Carter Mann, he actually

did Carter's mashups a few times. I'll have to

see if I can find some of his and maybe we could

do an episode on the stuff that he's done. But

yeah, I mean this is probably gonna be a short

podcast folks and that's okay Anything any geek

stuff you want to talk about here on geek cast

radio anything you want to bring up anything?

You've seen Reese. What have you been up to?

Like what have you been doing in the geek world

Steve? Aside from voice acting Well, yes, there's

that I've been working on I mean my summer has

been slam -packed, you could say. I've been messing

around with different tech stuff. I've been upgrading

parts of my computer. I've been messing with

things around my office. Particularly, I have

an old computer the size of two of my smartphone

put together. It's very basic. It couldn't be

updated anymore. Anyways, it was too slow for

Mary for her basement workout gym that she's

got. I took the old computer that used to be

mine and I put it down there so that we had a

faster working machine down there. Mary upgraded

her laptop to a new one. I have to say, I'm not

a fan of a lot of the newer tech. That comes

out of the box because they omit a lot of hardware

Okay, such as disk drives And Extra USB ports

so like my wife's old laptop has four USB ports

on it an HDMI and A memory card reader and a

seat disk drive a DVD drive. Yeah, so her new

laptop has three USB ports. Mm -hmm. It has an

HDMI and that's it So let me ask you for what

she does does she need three USB ports She knew

like does she need like four or five six seven

USB boys And this is the thing too. I can buy

an external dongle for it with all of you know

added ports and whatnot I I have one for my my

Mac For work. I absolutely hate that machine

with a pack I have crashed it. I've killed the

battery I have unintentionally to mind you. Yeah,

yes, it's it costs three or four five times the

amount of my computer and My computer is far

superior my desktop and my wife's laptop her

old one I could have done a lot of the same stuff

on it and it was 11 years old. It was comparable

in a lot of areas. Her new laptop is even better

than what I just got and I spent $600 on it.

Anyways, the Mac, it's loud, it's obnoxious.

I have to have three of those dongles, which

are basically it has four USB -C ports. And I

have to have three of those things so I can have

two monitors hooked up and external Ethernet

port I have to have it for multiple USB ports

like standard USB ports and Because it's so close

together on some of that and it doesn't have

a memory card reader either So I've got that

on one of them. So I have to have three of those

stupid things just to make the machine work Yikes

And just for standard stuff, like, yeah, okay,

maybe I don't need two monitors, but if I needed

to hook up an external monitor to it, I don't

have that option unless I use one of those or

I can't use regular USB ports because it doesn't

have one or a disk drive. It doesn't have one.

So a lot of that stuff's all external. So I cannot

wait until the thing dies so I can get a PC and

then I want to pick it out. But that being said,

it's not a terrible machine. It's just I don't

like it. My preference is I have a PC that's

kind of a hodgepodge of all of my old tech and

new tech, and it works. It does everything I

need it to. I can leave the thing. I can have

hundreds of tabs open and play a game and watch

Netflix. and it's still not gonna crash on me.

Or be working on a graphic in Photoshop at the

same time on multiple monitors. I have three

monitors hooked up. I could hook up a fourth

if I really wanted to. I do have a fourth monitor,

but it went to a different machine and it's hooked

up. Yeah. So the end of last year, after Karen

passed sadly, I, at the time I had a 24, 27 inch,

I don't even know. Was it one of the Dell monitors

or whatever? And it was fine. It was, it was,

it wasn't broken or anything. It wasn't whatever,

but like I watch all these tech YouTubers now

and I've been watching them since 2018, 2019

kind of thing. So I've kind of gotten back into

the whole tech world thing. And I watch people

like Marques Brownlee, and Unbox Therapy, which

is Lou Later, and Mr. Who's the Boss, and Michael

Fisher, Mr. Mobile and all this and everything

else. And Unboxed, Lou Later at Unbox Therapy

did a video on the Samsung M7 widescreen, blah

blah blah, whatever the Samsung M7 was. And I'm

like, oh, cool! And it basically doubles as a

television. You don't have to have it hooked

up to your computer because it has all the smart

things in it and whatever else and all that.

So I'm like, OK, cool, fine. So I bought that

off of Amazon. It came. I still had the old monitor.

I figured, oh, if we ever want to do commentaries

again or any kind of thing where we have to watch

something, I'm like, oh. I can have the recording

going on my computer on one monitor and I can

have, which isn't even hooked up to a computer

at all. It's, you know, by itself. I can have

the Samsung and I can just sit here and watch.

And then I realized I don't want to focus. I'm

not a focused person where I can focus on multiple

things. I need to be laser focused, like straight

line laser focused. That's the kind of person

I'm in. So you mentioned at least two. Now you

say three. Now you, I'm like, What the hell?

You need four monitors. Like, I'm saying this

in the instance of you hooking them all up and

using them all. Well, I have three monitors hooked

up. I do. I know. At work, I have... Now, mind

you, these screens are much smaller. If I had

my way and I had the money, I would have three

of the same monitor. Right. Yes. Or I would have

two larger monitors and have them mounted to

the back of my desk. So that they don't take

up desk space. I have three different size monitors

right now. Each one going down in size. My oldest

monitor is the only square monitor I have left.

The rest of them are horizontal, 16 by 9. I have

a 27 inch ASUS monitor. I have a 24 inch Dell

monitor and I have a 22 inch Dell monitor. And

I got both the Dell monitors, I think, for $50

collectively. And I got the ASUS used a number

of years ago for $127, so it worked out. But

it was a $300 monitor, and I got it used. That

being said, it's nice in the instance when I

have to have... things up for podcasting. I can

have the notes up on one screen. I can have if

we're reading a comic up on another, I can be

working on site stuff on another or graphics

or on the off occasion I'm playing a game on

one of the monitors with the sound off. It comes

in handy depending on what I'm doing, but most

of the time it's when I'm multitasking and working

between different things or if I'm trying to

compare notes. When I'm looking at you know,

one version of the site that I'm working on and

another version or I'm working in the back end

and the front end so I can kind of see what I'm

doing on both. So it's very nice to have multiple

screens to be able to kind of keep track. Yeah,

and that's great for someone who can concentrate

on multiple screens. I mean, I don't mind having

multiple, I have like... Oh, I'm not saying I'm

that talented where I can pay attention to them

all. Simultaneously, I can. I've learned that

that is a trait my wife is really good at, is

multitasking, and not one that I hold. As time

has gone on, I've learned I'm not that great

of a multitasker. I can focus on one thing at

a time. As long as I have multiple of the things

up that I need to get done, I get them done.

If I don't, it just doesn't happen. As far as

the tech is concerned, I'm still working on trying

to soundproof my room more. It's one of those

things where money would be a nice thing. I'd

like to build an enclosure around my desk because

then I could pad it and have it better for sound

and treat some of that. I do my monitors on a

shock mount, on a desk mount, on a boom arm and

windscreen, pop filter, all that good stuff.

But I need to kind of pad out a little bit more

as far as soundproofing and then I got this wicked

idea for the one monitor that's a square. I was

thinking I could put like a stand behind me and

if I ever do video I can have a live feed going

to the screen of what I want to talk about so

I don't have to edit it in post. That's a future

idea, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen.

That would be cool. My new apartment that I'm

in here in Anderson, Indiana, it's very wide

open. Right now, as of this recording, I do not

have my Six foot by nine foot desk that I've

had since 2010. It's in my dad's storage unit.

So I have to, you know, wait until he can bring

that up here. He lives two hours south of me

in Jeffersonville, Indiana. So at least we live

in the same stage. But yeah, my apartment, it's

a kitchen, dining room, living room combo where

The kitchen is, you know, it's got like this,

it's not a bar, but it has this open, you know,

window area where it's like, oh, you can set

stuff on the counter or whatever else. And you

put the table there and then the rest of it's

the living room. So I don't know how I would

do like a cone of silence, build out room kind

of thing for here. And every time I talk to anybody,

like even now, like the air conditioner, the

central air is going and. When I first moved

in, I kept turning it off every time I would

record. So recording for two, three hours or

however long every episode I'm doing, it's like,

I'm like, oh God, I gotta turn the AC back on,

it's on here. And then just one day I left it

on and I asked whoever it was that I asked, I

said, can you hear that at all? Because I can

hear it, but as long as you can't hear it and

as long as it doesn't come through the microphone,

I'm leaving the AC on. oh god but yeah technology

and movie mashups and tv mashup memes and all

that good stuff and yeah i mean you know it's

geek culture everybody so i guess the question

for this show would be what kind of tech stuff

are the listeners using what kind of tech stuff

are they into what kind of tech stuff do you

not like max are the devil Let's just say I Don't

I don't know I Remember when we started this

pie, I believe it's episode 4 episode 4 was the

iPhone episode because I had an iPhone back then

and Then I had a bunch of dumb phones for years.

I didn't do smartphones. My last actual smartphone

was a HTC sensation That smartphone I wish I

still had that damn thing today. I wish I still

I wish it still worked today That smartphone

had the best weather app because they had the

best weather animations Whether it was sunny

whether it was raining thunderstorms. Oh my god.

I don't need to look outside to see a thunderstorm

I can just open my phone and look on my weather

app. Oh my god. It's thunder and lightning outside

I'm watching this on my phone. So so yeah Apple,

I like what they do, but I don't like using their

products anymore. I just don't. It's just not

my thing anymore. It's kind of like when I was

in elementary school and middle school, we had

Macs all the way up until eighth grade. And then

I went to high school in ninth grade and it was

like, oh, now it's time for the PC world. And

I'm like, but I've been using an Apple II, whatever,

C, E, GS, whatever, and then Mac. How am I supposed

to learn this? Oh, I've learned this PC stuff

in less than a month. I'm never going back. It's

just some of the... I don't know. I don't know.

So yeah, let us know what kind of tech stuff

you're using. Let us know what you think about

movie mashups or TV show mashups or music like

Not Linkin Park, he's kind of gone. Like, Creedence

Clearwater Nickelback or something, I don't know.

Like, what does everyone think of mashup type

stuff? And we will, I will have a link to the

Facebook group if anyone wants to, I'm about

to join it myself, but if anyone wants to join

the Facebook group at Steve Found the Pictures,

then I will have a link in the show notes on

the website. Anything else you want to mention

before I close it out, sir? No, I think we're

good. All right. Well, before I close it out,

just so I don't forget to do this, we're going

to go to a very, very small ad break. I'm going

to come back and we'll close this latest episode

of GeekCast Radio up after this. Up, out, whatever.

it We're back here on GeekCast Radio. This is

episode 302. That's right, of course. What would

be your one final thought or advice for this

episode for people listening? My advice as far

as tech? Yeah, anything. Just a final thought

kind of thing. I don't know if I have advice

per se, but definitely do your homework when

you're buying tech. thinking about it. I spend

an absorbent amount of time when I'm looking

to do some DIY task or do something tech related.

It takes me months, sometimes as long as a year

to figure out what I want to do. More so because

I just need the time to settle on it. Like Mary's

laptop, that was kind of a... I need it now.

What was funny about it was I'd already kind

of done the research, so I kind of knew what

I was going for from the get go. Yeah, but yeah.

All right, cool, cool. My final thought would

be laugh at the movie mashups. Some of them are

very eye rolling, but when you really think about

it and you kind of explore what they could be.

They're always funny So find laughter where you

can folks, especially in today's world As far

as any kind of tech advice like Steve already

said do your research I already mentioned all

the youtubers that I watch and I don't like I'm

not buying like I watch them because I enjoy

them like anytime a new smartphone comes out

or a new oh my god, like have you seen I'll have

to Asus and... Does Asus do ZenBook or somebody

else's ZenBook? Anyway, there's like currently

two, like there's like a 16 .3 inch and a 17

.3 inch. There's two brand new like folding laptops

that are like vying for everybody's attention

now. These are PC laptops obviously because...

The ghost of Steve Jobs has not figured out how

to fold a Mac in half yet with a screen. But

yeah, it's just amazing. So yeah, folks, let

us know what your tech stuff is. Let us know

what you think about movie mashups. Thank you
