Podcasting, Superheroes, and Life Changes

You're tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek Unlimited Hello and welcome to Altered Geek

episode 164 I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips

and joining me this week is Do you have your

own mic? As if you didn't know from the cold

open? Yeah. So yeah, what have you been up to

this week? Oh boy, this week, recording a bunch

of stuff, editing a bunch of stuff. I have never

been more of a podcast machine than I have been

these last three or four months, editing multiple

shows, two or three shows a day. I am going on

vacation to see my fiance, Jennifer, out in California.

I'll be leaving December 9th. I'll be coming

back January 6th. So I have got approximately

35 shows that I have to edit out of those 35

podcasts. I have to record, I think, close to

15 of them first. So yeah, my life at this point

is nothing but podcasting and the funny thing

is You know, you know we were talking about suicide

at the beginning of the thing and there's nothing

to do with that really but it has to do with

What eventually might cause someone to commit

suicide which is sometimes it's depression and

I suffer from depression I've kind of always

suffered from depression every now and then it'll

hit me especially now that my mom's gone It just

it hits me in weird ways and whatever else so

I'll get up in the morning I get up anywhere

from 4 a .m. To 7 a .m. It just depends on when

I go to bed the night before I'll get up in the

morning and normally I listen to my local radio

morning show for a little while and then I'll

you know eat breakfast and you know whatever

else and also sit here and edit a podcast or

One morning if I get up and I I feel bright and

sunny and then I see something online that just

depresses me to all hell And it's like, oh, OK,

well, I'm just going to sit here and listen to

my radio show, or the morning radio show, and

play Candy Crush for two hours. Or I'll sit here

and catch up on the shows from the night before,

like on Hulu Plus or wherever else I can find.

You know, the CW app or whatever. What I do like

about this week specific, well, actually, this

is going to be going out on Monday the 14th,

but this past week, election week, what I love

about election week is that I was thinking Flash

was going to be on. It wasn't. And I'm very thankful

because if it was on, it would have had that

giant election bar going through half of the

screen or would have bombed. It would have statistically

bombed because nobody would have been watching

it. What about you? You've got a lot going on.

We're actually going to talk about a few major

life changes for you next episode, but what else

has been going on in the meantime? Yeah, so I've

been doing a lot of stuff, doing stuff with school.

And got Masterpiece Optimus Primal. Yes, which

we will be opening on All Things Transformers

episode 57. Unfortunately. It's 20 minutes away,

come on now. You'll be alright. I can't help

it. And then I got an Altered Geek shirt, which

I didn't think was going to get. Neither one

of these things I thought were going to show

up in the same week, which kind of worked out

for me. They were originally scheduled to be

a week out, so I'm quite happy. And then, yeah,

I've been doing stuff here or there with video

and whatnot, playing Transformers Earth Wars

on my phone. Which they've just decided to come

out with combiners, but you have to have all

three star Constructicons to build a Decepticon

combiner Which I'd have none of And I'm not paying

for them so I did get a three -star Megatron

like last week or the week before by accident

like it I won a three -star Crystal that that

you can summon with the space bridge and he popped

out. I was like sweet Megatron Because I had

a two -star Megatron and he's almost maxed out

for levels It's they're the same They just it

depends on how many times you can upgrade him

and what their power is and their their health

and all that So yeah, I'm like I still have yet

to get a four -star character. I have like an

entire team of three stars now most of my guys

are two -star I have some one -star but I Have

scourge So that's where's that? I can't wait

to lay a beast worse to this stuff later on Because

I will be happy Like no other yeah I don't know

if that's coming, but I really hope so the Transformers

fan within me. So yeah, I've been watching a

lot of TV, doing a lot of watching of YouTube

and stuff like that. Yeah, I found something

really really cool recently this week. Apparently

there's an Easy -Bake Oven for adults. I don't

know if you saw this. What is it? It's an easy

-bake oven for adults. Ah yeah, I saw you posting

that earlier. I'm actually gonna read from the

article here, folks, because I don't want to

get anything wrong. All you have to do is put

a chip dough pod, kind of like a Keurig cake

cup, into the machine, press start, and 10 minutes

later you'll have freshly baked cookies. If you

have your own secret cookie dough recipe and

don't want to use a dough pod, the CHP or the

chip has a manual setting where you can customize

the time and temperature. If you want to relive

the Easy Bake Oven glory days, you can get the

chip on Kickstarter through the month of November

for $99. It will retail for $144 once it hits

market. It looks kind of cool. I mean, because

let's face it, folks. When your sister or your

female cousins had the Easy -Bake Ovens as, you

know, when we were kids, those things, they use

Play -Doh, so they're not really, or something

like Play -Doh, so they're not really actually

cooking something that, that you can, you know,

actually eat. Whereas this, I mean, it's, wow,

it's kind of cool. But you can also put stuff

on your radiator on your dashboard and it'll

cook it just the same I've done that with my

dashboard Not with cookie dough, but yeah, I've

put I've put sandwiches that I fully intended

to eat When it was summertime I'd put them in

my dashboard like Half an hour before I wanted

to eat them and then when I go out to be ready

for school My sandwich would be nice and warm

and ready for me to eat awesome And I didn't

have to do any work The Sun did it all for me

with the the the pleasantness of the glass yeah

this this chip Oven this automated oven reminds

me of the old Ronco ads the set it forget it

rotisserie thing Speaking of that we actually

have to do an infomercial for class Really? Yeah

The the object is and I haven't even started

on it yet We have to do a 60 second or 120 second

or a 180 second. So one two or three minute infomercial

and I Some other people were doing them in class

and I'm like, what am I gonna do this on? And

so I asked Mary, I'm like, so what should I do

it on? She says, I don't know. She says, put

something in a crock pot and then say, forget

it, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, might

just do that. Like it'll be lame, but whatever.

My mom used to have one of those. They used it

all the time. Cause I was trying to figure out

another thing. Cause like earlier somebody was

watching like a video from like the whitest kids,

you know, or something like that. It was, it's

a YouTube channel or a TV show or something.

I'm not quite sure. But I showed them this other

clip of It's The the most honest Cable company,

okay, where it says You know, you know if you're

waiting for a cable company blah blah blah then

F you, you know, it's like This is What's part

of what you know an oligopoly and this is it's

like a monopoly only legal, you know You know,

so and then it shows, you know, we all we all

compete to have the same price, you know collaborate

and secretive the same price and So that you

you get optimum cock bag levels of pricing and

then it says You know, well oligopoly your balls

we guarantee it, you know just weird stuff like

that, but it was a hilarious video that came

out two years ago. And I showed it to the kids

in class and they just rolled. I'm like, yeah,

this is what the old timer does. They show everybody

this stuff. Because, you know, that's how I roll.

So. So, yeah, that's kind of tied in there. We

got two. I know one of these stories was already

Said that it was going to happen, but for me

until someone that actually heads up the studio

tells me I don't necessarily want to believe

it We got two superhero stories this week number

one Michael that you have well, okay Thank you

for bringing the show down One even though we

kind of already knew this but Kevin whatever

his name is the Marvel buggy whatever the hell

uh... has confirmed that michael keaton a .k

.a. batman will be the vulture in spider -man

homecoming which is very cool uh... and i just

saw on facebook about five or ten minutes ago

that uh... fox is already playing deadpool three

and it's supposedly supposed to have x -force

in it so what do you got uh... basically that

uh... The actor that played Superman in Supergirl

will not be returning to play Cyborg Superman.

Oh, that sucks. So, it's not going to be a clone

of Superman, so there's two possible outcomes,

because in the comics, Cyborg Superman is Hank

Henshaw, who's white in the comics, but that's

a change that doesn't matter. And then obviously

Martian Manhunter replaced Hank. So in the comics

also, the other Cyborg Superman is Zor -El, Supergirl's

father. Yeah. So that leads to mean that Dean

King could be a Cyborg Superman. Hmm. That would

be very awesome. Because it would be very akin

to the... The thing with Jay Garrick. Yep. Reprising

a role to be altered. Yep. Like the show. Yeah.

And I can tell you right now, folks, as probably

one of only five fans that absolutely love the

new adventures, Lois and Clark, the new adventures

of Superman, the fact that Dean Cain got to be

Supergirl's dad in Supergirl, and the fact that

he may or may not be Cyborg Superman now. That's

gonna be awesome. I can't wait for that Should

be interesting or and I doubt this will ever

happen and I know I know I'm kind of poking the

proverbial CW bear here or they could bring in

Tom Welling and finally put him in the tights

So yeah, um cw adds four more episodes to legends

of tomorrow season 2 sweet Says Legends of tomorrow

has never been the ratings hit that cw expected

it to be but fans generally enjoyed the Arrow

flash spinoff and we're happy to see it receive

a renewal However, the fact that it would only

consist of 13 episodes was somewhat disappointing

especially with the legion of doom considered

or Confirmed as the new big bads. Yeah, I says

thankfully the network has announced that David

added additional four episodes to take the current

total up to 17 which is worth season one yeah

well it's worth noting that it was never the

plan for the series to receive a full 22 episode

order yeah so it's interesting to hear that it's

been expanded but also the crossover is going

to be five episodes between the four shows so

that should be really interesting oh yeah The

CW is just knocking it out of the park with their

DC TV universe. They really, really are. Um,

so they're also saying for the, uh, the team

up, um, this is, uh, Supergirl, uh, it's saying

something that they're going to have the dominators,

mind -controlling extraterrestrials that earth's

surging population of metahumans. And it says

we're actually going to see superheroes fight

each other Cool, so you're gonna have super girl

flying the cisco and flash tear hole on the fabric

of space -time Wow But yeah, it's gonna be interesting

Legends has been kicking ass this season. They

really have I mean every episode there's something

getting rid of Vandal Savage Was the best thing

that show did I mean that they had to have a

big bad for season one and there's only so much

you can do with Vandal after a while and The

way that they got rid of him was more than fine.

I love season one of legends I think it's great,

you know that we have all these Quote -unquote

legends because they're not heroes. They're either

heroes or villains or crooks or criminals or

whatever But season one of legends was very I

thought it was very awesome for 16 episodes of

television. I thought it was damn good You know

and as you said, you know It's kind of lucky

that they get rid of Vandal, but I think that

they always had that plan to do that To bring

in the bigger DC one once Supergirl got picked

up by the CW Everything is open season amongst

those those four shows now It really really is

especially with the flash and the timeline and

all that stuff and everything else But I have

just been really digging dig even this past week's

episode The week before election week a week

ago or two weeks ago at this point when we released

this even the zombie episode everybody knows

i am not a zombie fan whatsoever but confederate

zombies i had to actually shut that episode off

really i had a hard time watching it but i think

it's because um... uh... it's i don't know i'm

sensitized to it now in other words i don't watch

anything with any kind of horror gore or uh...

zombie stuff in it It was too much for me, personally.

So I couldn't sit there and watch it. I had a

hard time with it. I watched the beginning and

then I skipped all the way to the end. And I

saw that Mick had been turned into a zombie and

then they reversed it and then everything went

back to hunky dory. But yeah, I... It wasn't...

Now, for me, because again, I am so not a horror...

I was exposed to more horror movies as a kid

than I'd like to admit. I've seen, as five, six,

and seven year old, I saw any of the Freddys

that were out at the time, any of the Jasons,

any of the Halloweens that were out at the time.

I saw all that stuff. And it scared the living

bejesus out of me. So, now as an adult, I do

not do horror. And when it comes to zombies,

I just don't give a crap about zombies. I could

give a crap less. But, in this episode... I thought

they were done very well. For me, they weren't

too horrific. I mean, Gotham this past week had

more blood in it than Blood Guts and Gore in

it than Legends did. Yeah, and I had a hard time

watching that as well, because it's gotten so...

I'm still trying to... And I think the other

thing that's got me enticed is the fact that

I'm waiting to see Gordon take over now that

Barnes is on the loose. Yup. I'm wondering if

Barnes is gonna turn into a Migdala. Right. Who,

for those that don't know, is controlled by his,

like, anger outlet in the, you know, part of

his brain and kind of just does whatever he feels

and is this, like, Mondo, like, veiny, almost

kind of like a Bane -like character, but he ends

up, like, losing all of his, like, personality

because he starts becoming this anger. Mm -hmm.

uh... this rage machine so it's home i'm wondering

if you're trying to that is that you know that

i was going to turn into calendar man and because

he was doing something dates for a minute there

and then uh... now that he's got like this raging

strength thing on i think that's the direction

that we go with it how much of this past week's

episode did you watch uh... gotham all of it

he pulled a judge dreaded it was so that it was

the one dude set up in the end the uh... no no

no and in the beginning well yeah but in the

end he he showed the guy through the wall he

says i'm judge jury executioner first he said

i am the law he said that one of the instance

of sentence served Soon as he said I am the law,

I'm like, oh my god, Michael Chiklis is Judge

Dredd. That would be hilarious. And the ironic

thing is, as soon as I finish watching the episode

on Hulu, I go over to Netflix and look on Netflix

and what just appeared on Netflix, folks? 1995

Sylvester Stallone, Judge Dredd. But yeah, so

I mean, I think that Gordon's going to have to

kill him. yeah probably and uh... if that doesn't

happen a lot but uh... he's he's definitely going

to be out of commission i think gordon now that

he's back to the gcpd is going to become captain

and then uh... eventually commissioner this past

week's episode had nothing to do with bruce or

alfred which is interesting to me it was all

about uh... yeah barnes and uh... gordon which

was, I don't want to say it was a refreshing

twist, but it was kind of interesting and nice

that they're focusing on that one story for the,

sometimes Gotham tries too hard and they try

to cram too much, they basically, Spider -Man

3, their episodes every now and then, trying

to get too much into it. They did that a lot

in the first two seasons with Fish Mooney. Thank

God she's gone for now. but yeah I mean I'm still

season three of Gotham has been the best so far

I think I'm interested to see what is going to

happen if and when they bring the Joker back

that'll be season four okay well they said he's

not coming back this season okay I like the fact

that the Mad Hatter is in there I think that's

you know another cool you know, villain nod for

Batman, because Mad Hatter has always been around

in the Batman universe. I'm kind of hoping Mr.

Freeze comes back. I don't know if he will, but...

He may. And I love the fact that they have Lucius

Fox in Nygma's old job as the CSI. I thought

that was hilarious. Tell you the one thing that's

creeping me out with Gotham though. The one thing

I cannot stand about it is this whole Riddler

penguin Relationship thing Yeah, I've been trying

to sidestep that because they're trying to pull

one of those and Supergirl as well Supergirl's

sister and that they're leading towards that

too I always knew Maggie Sawyer was gay, so I

knew that but like I don't know I I feel like

and I feel like all the shows and I'm not saying

that there shouldn't be representation for it

I I'm gonna probably gonna catch crap for this

and I mean I understand it I'm not telling anybody

whatsoever how to live their life. I you know

everybody has their own style every lifestyle

whatever I don't Feel like they have to pander

to everything on all of the The shows and it

seems like they're purposely trying to shove

it like even the new Star Trek shows coming out

Like they're shoving it in there. I mean like

If it's gonna happen have it natural like, you

know, the Maggie Sawyer character, you know,

that's fine So yeah, they're trying to but trying

to force it on a character that's already there

You know, I just I don't know. I don't know how

I feel about that Super Real has only had one

season to this point, one full season to this

point. Yeah, but the sister, like, I just, I

don't know. Something about it doesn't feel right,

and then at the same time, like, the Penguin

Riddler thing really seems off to me and seems

kind of a lame, like, grab at it. I don't know.

I'll talk about Penguin Riddler in a second,

but the Alex and Maggie thing. Yes, it's not

who Maggie normally... is known to date, because

normally Maggie is known to be dating, um, oh,

oh, one of the Bat Women, I think. I forget which

one. Um, but here's the thing. Supergirl has

had one season. In that first season, we - got

to see some of Alex's character, but we didn't

get to see a whole hell of a lot of her character,

and I think that's what they're doing in Season

2. They're letting each character have their

moments, and I like with the slow, gradual buildup

of Alex and Maggie, I'm fine with that, I have

no problem with that. But on the other hand,

with Gotham, as you said... it feels too forced

between Penguin and Riddler and then and it's

not even like an overtly gay relationship yet

at this point in the season but that's where

the Penguin essentially said that he loves him

you know and he I don't know Gotham's a little

weird on its relationships sometimes and it's

not just because it's a gay relationship at all

it's just it's always been weird with The whole

Bruce and Selena thing has been weird since season

one. I know coming up either this week or next

week, Ivy's gonna be returning and that's gonna

cause a whole hell of a lot of problems. So,

Superhero TV, yay! Yep. What else you got? Well,

Scanner 51 has a interesting question for us

this week. He says Today is now November 9th

the day after the election on the 8th some of

our local newspapers Printed a story California

to considering tax on streaming video sites Every

time you stream you get taxed now the article

broke it down to only cities here in San Francisco

Bay Area 20 that we're considering this possible

tax. He says he lives in one of them. His in

-laws and his friends in another. The article

said that it's not just cable companies missing

our money. That we're considering the possible,

or yeah, that were our money, but local governments

too. This will not be taken to a vote by the

people. There are loopholes that don't require

it. Now I know that a, for a fact that Pennsylvania

has done this and it's working and I see this

spreading in local here, which means Southern

California is next. most likely the whole state

uh he says that he knows that you and and i do

a lot of streaming in his uh or he says and you

are looking to move there he says you're wants

to know your feelings uh he says and to say to

him this welcome to california yes the article

said nothing about streaming music which is good

because they stream that i'm screwed Yeah, I

download my music through iTunes. I actually

purchased my music through iTunes, so I have

it on my computer I don't have to worry about

streaming music So basically what he wants to

know is taxation on streaming, right? Yeah Isn't

there already tax through like I pay No, I don't

know it is $11 .99 and $8 .99 for Netflix and

Hulu combined. I don't know I mean it really

depends I mean is it just gonna be one tax charge

per month in with my plan or is it gonna be Per

like is it gonna? He's talking per per show that

you stream. Oh god. That would be horrible. Are

you kidding me? Yeah, that's nuts Why am I pet

why am I gonna sit here and pay Netflix and Hulu

a combination of just under $25 a month to stream

everything I want But yet the government's gonna

come in and tax each show That's nuts And I'm

not out there in California yet, dude, so there

is no welcoming committee yet I'm only going

for a visit right now for now. Yeah Good So yeah,

there's that. On a side note, Ron Perlman's running

for president in 2020. Oh boy. So is Kanye West.

So is Kim Kardashian. So in 2024, I'm running.

Oh, God. I saw an image somewhere on Facebook.

This is a while ago. I think this was after the

first or the second debate. Someone did a meme

of all of the women. Chelsea Clinton. Ivanka

Trump. Michelle Obama in each year, so 2020,

2024, all the 2032. Like, oh my God, that's just

crazy. Oh, I don't think I'd get very far, but

I'm going to try. Wait, get very far. Oh yeah.

You as president. Yeah. I'm going to be president

2024. So I wonder how many of those celebrities

are actually gonna move. Yeah, that's what I'm

wondering. Someone died last week. I said, I

says well, I says if the Annoying Orange gets

elected Since everybody's hating on him now like

I guess I can call him that This is my thing

either have rabid fans on one side of the fence

or on the other and yes I understand he's a pig

but what president isn't I mean people seem to

forget bill had his pants down quite often in

got caught for it and everybody's like uh...

it should never been in the public uh... it you

know you get caught with his pants down charges

run in his mouth so again like i'm not fans of

any of them they're all trashed but politics

are always trashed but uh... but yeah like all

these celebrities like my lease iris will be

goldberg john steward brian kranston like i told

uh... died last week I says Zordon might be moving

to your home and he's like what are you talking

about and I says Brian Cranston he says he's

like we can have Walter White in Canada I was

like yeah I mean some of these like they can

go there you know have at it like Well, the funny

thing is because it's like their way of saying

oh if you guys elected a war I'm moving I'm packing

up and the funny thing is is like the candidate

election sites actually been take like crash

numerous times because Americans trying to like

I'm moving No, it's not the election site. It's

not the election the immigration. It's the immigration

site that is Consistently been crashed because

people training. I'm like, oh my god. You've

got a beginning look You know what? We all, no

matter who we voted for, we made our choices.

Whether you voted for Hillary, whether you voted

for Trump, whether you voted for third party,

those that voted for the two main candidates,

we all made a choice. We all now have to live

with that choice. It's not the end of the world,

people. We're still here. The world isn't burning

yet. But here's the thing, you know what I mean?

It's like... Everybody just assumes that because

Trump won, that the world is going to explode

any second. There have been far worse things

that have happened in the history of the United

States than Donald Trump becoming president.

Somebody on Twitter, I saw this somewhere, I

forget where it was, I saw it on Facebook, but

again it was someone who screen capped a tweet.

Someone on Twitter, I don't know who the hell

it was, said the two worst dates in U .S. history,

11 -9 and 9 -11. I am sorry, folks. There's no

way in hell electing Donald J. Trump is worse

than terrorists murdering United States citizens

in the September 11 attacks. There's no way electing

a president is worse than murder. You realize

that Americans are protesting? destroying and

killing each other now just because that's just

yeah the level of stupidity that's put it in

everything in this this world is like if you

don't like something there's always a better

way of going about it it's called get out and

vote that's like the only thing that we can possibly

do being a protester does nothing nowadays it

worked in the 60s because it had never been done

yeah There's so many protests about everything

now that it's just, it's just deaf noise. And

then when people get shot, they wonder why, because

they're sitting there, destroying the streets

or destroying buildings or throwing a big pissing

contest, temper tantrum, no matter where they

go. And to me, it's sad. Like, yes, I don't necessarily

agree with what's happened. But again, if people

had got off their rears and voted, because there

were a lot of people that didn't. They have nobody

to blame but themselves. Yeah Have you seen the

the Instagram photo that's going around Facebook?

It's of the United States And it's red and blue.

Have you seen this? No, so basically it's a picture

of the United States Where the entire West Coast

is in blue and it says America Michigan, Wisconsin,

all that upper Great Lakes stuff is America.

The Northeast, Maine, all the way down, halfway

is America. In the middle of the country, from

Texas to Nevada to Arizona, Kentucky, Indiana,

Ohio, all of that is in red and it says, and

I'm sorry, I'll mark this show explicit, it says,

Dumbfuckistan. I'm just like oh So on a side

your answer is gonna be but let me ask the audience

this okay With everything that Donald Trump has

said Would you rather have a overinflated egotistical

maniacal guy that says stuff all the time in

office, or would you rather have a liar? You

know, so... Well, and to be fair, he said all

this crap before he was elected. Right. So, it

remains to be seen whether he cleans up his act

now that he's president and acts presidential,

or if he resorts back to the lowest common denominator.

This is the last thing I'll say on it and we

can move on to something fun and... I do have

something fun coming. Oh, okay, well... Just

hang on to that for a second. I have never been

more excited to watch presidential stuff just

to see what the hell is going to happen. Cause

I don't know. Then right now to see what the

last time I was really excited about a president

is when I was six years old and Reagan was in

office. I would watch as a kid, the presidential

stuff all the time in the last 25 years. I think

I've watched one speech each of the last four

presidents, you know, between Bush Sr., Jr.,

Clinton, and Obama. I've watched one speech each.

For me, with Donald Trump now as our president

-elect, because he doesn't have the job just

yet, he won't have it until January, like we

said before, I am really interested to see, as

you said, if he actually does act presidential

once he's actually in office. yeah yeah and that's

the thing that I wonder because again actions

speak louder than words and that's that's my

whole thing like I I get that people don't like

him and that's okay but again actions speak louder

than words and that's what remains to be seen

at this point in time yep so moving on back to

fun The Transformers Network has a pretty cool

promo video coming soon that I was fortunate

enough to be a part of. Awesome. And it features

myself and two others doing Megatron, Optimus

Prime, and the narrator from G1, Victor Karoly.

In this ad and it's awesome It just needs sound

effects and music and it'll be like pretty cool.

I'm waiting to see this. I cannot wait actually

Yeah, I It's and it's animated in the transformers

prime animation style. Oh sweet so or not transformers

prime transformers rid, but it looks like it's

a cross between that and Transformers Prime.

That's because Prime and Ritter are essentially

the same continuity. Well, it looks more at that

level. Yeah. So yeah, I'm kind of excited to

see what it looks like when it's done. Yeah,

absolutely. The prime sounds like spot -on the

Megatron is is Beast Wars Megatron and it was

they Changed the vocoder to make it sound closer

to the Megatronus And then the animation how

it like closes out is pretty Freaking awesome

if I do say so myself because you haven't seen

that yet. I've just played the audio for you.

Yeah The ending title screen. I think it's pretty

freaking wicked the best part is all of the the

the text Is based off of my original designs?

At the end it Colors are changed, but it's still

my my text right that I type The fonts that I

chose and everything so it's it's pretty cool

Because I designed the original stuff in the

new version of the site And hearing the Victor

Karolyi voice in there is pretty freaking cool

Which I managed to contract a side version for

all things transformers Which sweet for those

that decide to check that out. We get to hear

it again awesome, so So yeah, there's that I

Think I mean, I don't know if you got anything

else, but I think that probably wraps it up for

this week I Mean we haven't had this far. I don't

know if arrows on tonight as we're recording

this I don't know if legends is gonna be on this

week because most of the time in election week

The shows will skip well surprisingly we had

Stuff Monday with yeah, we had Supergirl and

Gotham, but I'm not sure if the rest of the shows

are gonna play and again We're recording this

before it's released. Obviously. It'll be released

Monday the 14th, but I Mean I haven't really

been why like I watch like I said Supergirl and

Gotham and I watched some other stuff that I

watched but like I haven't really It's kind of

been an off week for TV for me You turn the TV

off. I don't have a TV. I use my computer Somebody

get me a TV my kingdom for a TV. No, I'm just

kidding But yeah, so How about we tease next

week? Maybe in a minute. I I have to comment

on this thing pretty quick because it's funny.

Um I did I tell you about the thing with the

daredevil season 2 You told me part of it and

then you had to take another call. I think okay

um... so at work one of the guys was watching

daredevil season two and he's interrogating uh...

uh... ninja here you can tell me this and this

is like before electric comes in shows up i'm

not going to say because i don't know exactly

what's going on i don't watch the show but right

he was he was i i walked around and he's like

uh... Oh, and I says, what are you doing? He's

like, oh, I'm watching daredevil and I said,

oh, okay, and then he shows it to me and then

There's a scene where Matt Murdock because he's

not in costume in the scene it goes up to this

guy and he's got this guy pinned after they've

gotten in this huge fight with like swords and

daggers and everything else and He grabs him

and he goes Basically and I said exactly that

like the uh... christian bale batman did to the

joker like the dark night and uh... the the guy

just started rolling and i started rolling like

we're both laughing so hard we're crying because

if he's like that's what it sounds like and uh...

he's like i didn't even know and uh... we were

both just laughing hysterically at the scene

and uh... i just i couldn't help it like it was

Calling out to me like the minute. I saw him

start doing the gravelly thing and grabbing him

Slamming him and stuff. I'm like it is so bad

So I just again I couldn't help it it was hilarious

So yeah, but yeah for the all things that are

transformers This is for the all things that

are transformers coming up in another Episode

I get to open optimus primal years Yes, and next

week on alter geek it's episode 165 And we're

actually gonna be getting a little bit more personal

than we normally do We're gonna be talking about

a little bit of life. Yeah, we both as The co

-creators of the Geekcast Radio Network, the

two of us have been podcasting for seven and

a half, almost eight years at this point. Well,

a little more for you, but since the network

has been online, it's been seven and a half,

eight years. And in that time, a lot has changed.

I've said this before on this podcast, my mom

passed away last year. So that was a huge change

for me, a huge life change. In that time I started

dating someone online and I'm going out there

for Christmas for my first visit and everything

else this year and at some point if the first

visit works out and the second visit works out

next year for my birthday I'll end up moving

out there to California as Scanner said welcome

to California earlier. So there's gonna be a

lot of changes. There's gonna be a lot of content

that I want to do. but I don't know if we're

gonna get to do it right away. I know you want

to get Altered Geek to at least 200 episodes

for the audience show. Yeah, and I guess I'll

get to that next week. There may come a point

where I may retire. Other than guesting appearances.

Yeah. So I'm not entirely sure how that's gonna

go yet. I've been dabbling with the idea in my

head. Yep. because at this point, I don't, I

know I have more to offer, I'm just not sure

what, where to go from here. Right. And we've

got to find some way to grow the network. So

there's that. So that's what's coming up next

week. You guys are going to hear all that. We're

going to get a little bit more personal, like

I said, and I think doing a little bit more personal

stuff is, you know, that's when I started my

blog earlier this year, uh, from the desk of

TFG1 Mike, that was my whole point was to get

a little bit more personal on the positive side

of things and uh... i've written a few things

up for that and everything else so uh... so yeah

that's gonna be fun uh... for now you wanna take

us out so until next time get altered get geeky

the altered geeks this is truly pathetic
