Super Bowl Commercials and Upcoming Movie News

This is Phil Lamar, and you are listening to

the GeekCast Radio Network. host Steve Megatron

Phillips and joining me this week is not Mike

Booth Ninja Powers but Dave Jones Mike hello

hello yes I am here yes he's he's playing fill

in for a while Mike powers has as many know or

some may not know he has a couple jobs and So

it's actually quite late when after we get done

recording this and before he has to go into work.

So it's kind of a One of those things so but

he'll he'll return in the future. So it's real

life people. Yes real life is attacking. I'm

testing. Yes. Yeah kind of like me, I don't know

if I should share the story I told you off air,

but My life flashed before my eyes several times

this past week. I'm a person that does not drive.

The reason I do not drive is because I was born

with a mild case of cerebral palsy. The only

physical effects that anyone can really tell

is my right hand and foot are smaller and turn

in compared to my left hand and foot. But it

also screws up my balance, my vision, everything

else. So because I don't drive, It's not very

often that I have to put gas in a car. And I

was putting gas in my mom's car this past week.

I think it was... was it Tuesday or Wednesday?

I don't know on them days. No, it wasn't Wednesday.

It was Monday or Tuesday this past week, the

week that this will go up. And she told me to

put $30 in. She has an 11 -gallon tank. She said

she had a quarter of a tank still in there before

we filled it up. I'm like, okay. So I go into

the guy, here, put $30 worth of gas on, pump,

whatever. Whatever the number, I think it was

six. Not that that matters. So I go out, and

it only pumps, like, $21, $22. So like a dumbass,

and not realizing, hey, the thing stopped, so

that must mean there's enough gas in the damn

car. I'm thinking, okay, well, I need to get

it to $30. So I'm sitting there, standing, and...

Continually putting the pump. I got it up to

like 28 something or 26 something and guess what

I overfilled the tank yay me Go back inside.

He's like didn't did you use it all no. It's

our it'll it'll credit back to your card Whatever

you didn't use. I'm like okay fine Go out get

in the car. It's an automatic transmission so

My mom goes to start it and she's always really

good about this stuff It won't start and it will

not turn the key back over to release the key

And I guess is a good preventative measure with

this car. It's a 99 mercury sable. I think it's

99 sable. It's a sable wagon anyway We're thinking

oh crap we need a jump so I go back in the store

ask about six people Everyone had someplace else

to go so it couldn't spare five seconds to pull

their car up to ours to give us a jump. Finally

I got a guy next to us that said he would pull

around and give us a jump and it wasn't even

that. He's like, um, yeah, do you have it in

park? I looked down. car is still in drive and

we're both wondering why the car didn't move

and why we're not dead from crashing into the

friggin store so yeah I almost died this week

and there you have it on top of that I've been

sick since like the middle of January off and

on with allergies cough cold everything else

because it is friggin Country nationwide winter

weather crap. I'm the biggest advocate of winter

but not when it's like This winter has been terrible.

Yeah, well people will and I know this is probably

not interesting podcasting But people will look

at me like I'm friggin crazy going out in 20

30 degree weather in a pair of shorts. I'm from

Massachusetts people I'm used to the cold. I'm

I'm a I guess I'm a cold -blooded person. I can

handle it. It's not that and I guess the somewhat

over 400 pounds on my body allows me to handle

it better than most and It's just one of those

things where like this winter like This is not

a winter here in Kentucky that I've experienced

since I was little up in Massachusetts Like this

is one of the coldest winters that we've ever

had here in Kentucky and it's just it's just

nuts It really really is but I am here and we're

here to talk about other things yes I guess first

of all I should note that the GCRN awards is

well underway yes yes it is and you can access

that by going to the fan page or the website

there's a nice big old banner at the top that

says vote yes click it you'll be able to go vote

Yep, and there's 26 categories. It is up and

running I'm in process of seeing how many total

voters we've had so far not giving away What

has been voted for? How many total voters have

we had so far? That's what I'm looking for Stupid

WordPress it's taking a second Yes, stall tech

number two So yeah, it's it's well underway.

There's Going to be a companion podcast for it

in March. Like I mentioned before in the last

episode Hopefully we accomplished the goal that

we set out to In you know the whole endeavor

although i will say that we've had a huge spike

in site content since then or site traffic uh...

so that's that's a good thing uh... yes tell

your friends about geekcastradio dot com people

make them go to it now yes like the fan page

and and check out the twitter page and also check

out the website because there's tons of stuff

coming and uh... We're only tons of stuff coming

and we have five years worth of content. Yes

now not all of the content in the beginning was

Of great production value because we were still

learning but we have over five years of content

at geocastradio .com and I just I don't know

if it's that I've been sick over the last few

weeks, but when I voted for the for the different

categories for the the awards i went to the bottom

and cycled through all the damn pages i didn't

even realize there were links inside the picture

to go to each category you clicked all the numbers

at the bottom yep in actuality i should have

put a next and previous button there yeah below

the voting which i could go do now but then that's

i got to do that like 28 times Yeah, don't do

that now. So I'll probably wait till the next

time we do that. Yeah. Usually when we launch

stuff, people, it's a very it's very much a learning

experience for the next time we do it. Kind of

like the top 100. Yeah. First one was was kind

of shaky. We had the hang of it somewhat. But.

Second one kind of went off and on a hitch. Yeah,

I mean. There's not really much to improve on

on the process. Yeah. So it looks like we've

had a total of 70 voters. Cool. In the last week,

which is awesome. The lowest that something has

been voted for is thirty seven. Don't in a row.

I knew you were going to do that. It's you're

gonna have to give reference to that so that

people aren't going huh watch clerks people See

there's your reference But yeah, so I think it

either a the reason why it varies from that number

all the way up to 70 is the fact that either

People haven't watched whatever it pertains to

So they didn't feel comfortable rating it some

people went through regardless and rated everything

Some people knew what some of the things were

but rated things So just however you prefer to

do it should be interesting anyway I'm looking

forward to revealing that on the podcast live

to the co -hosts, but Yes, so there'll be there'll

be reactions just like in the wars or the top

Yeah, I I enjoy the the random comments that

come out after the the the polls have been revealed

yes so I think with that we will move into some

of the media content of the show so take it away

with the first one there Mike oh god Oh yeah,

this is actually a good thing. I figured you

would be happy about that. Yeah, no, no, no,

this is actually a very, very, very good thing.

So, if you're someone who has come to GeekCastRadio

.com fairly frequently since I would say the

beginning of last year, 2013, every so often

you'll see reviews for soundtracks, CD soundtracks,

scores. from me from La La Land Records. La La

Land Records is the company that I first noticed

them when they released the volume one of Batman

the Animated Series 2 CD set soundtrack for all

the music from Batman the Animated Series. So

they're basically a soundtrack score company.

They do television scores, sometimes they do

movie scores, they do cartoon scores. very very

awesome company most recently and finally i've

been waiting for this since the btis albums came

out they have finally released a four disc set

for superman the animated series twenty complete

scores from the cartoon series uh... over four

discs it's very very awesome uh... believe eight

of the tracks on there are from world's finest

the three -part crossover event with Batman so

awesome but this Saturday actually tomorrow after

you people hear this hopefully if you're listening

to this on the Friday that goes up they are having

a CD signing in Burbank, California for both

the serenade series and that man the brave in

the bold soundtracks they released the uh...

but member of the bold as a two -disc special

edition soundtrack and listen to both of them

and as people might know that i'm not the biggest

fan of them and bring them all and it's just

it's not i get it it's uh... it's for the silver

age fan i remember my first watch and i'm like

batman in space and yes i know i've seen justice

league batman was in space but this was a bit

but it was a totally different animation style

in dcau or anything else that i've seen before

is just wasn't really my style plus you get oswald

from drew carrey is batman now don't get me wrong

detrick bedder is amazing actor i just don't

think his voice fits well for any type of that

man but that's just my personal preference they

release these two things and this saturday february

eight they are going to have a cd signing in

burbank california it's is uh... you can meet

the composers of these extraordinary scores to

the beloved wbd c comics animated series saturday

february eight twenty fourteen at twelve noon

at creature features twenty nine oh four west

magnolia boulevard berbick california come you

claim composers christopher carter michael mcquestion

and will leader believe it's later at mass uh...

as we celebrate their new limited edition soundtrack

releases from all and records of many other in

series four cd set and that memorable to cd set

uh... composers will sign additional items but

one of those items must be If you don't live

in Burbank, California but still want to purchase

signed copies, Creature Features ships worldwide

and you can pre -order them online now at CreatureFeatures

.com. I'm telling you folks... As much as I'm

not a fan of Batman the brave and the bold I

went back and watched the episodes That the music

from this this release came from and it is so

good and Superman the animated series Like I

said, I've been waiting for that and waiting

for that It's so good Just absolutely awesome

Well, the thing is is all those DCAU and non

DCAU just pretty much anything DC content related

The music is almost always great. Oh, yeah And

next week on GeekCastRadio .com, we're going

to have, after the autograph event that happens

on Saturday, we're going to have all three composers

in an interview. Yes, that's right, GeekCastRadio

.com, the first time ever we've had three people

interviewed at the same time. So that's gonna

be really fun for Steve and I to talk to them

about themselves, their careers, how they wanted

to get into music, and how they came about composing

stuff for DC and what other stuff they've done.

So that's gonna be really, really fun. I have

a really odd joke, but it's... Go ahead. It's

calling back to the... Star Trek reboot where

Scotty says I've never beamed to you know to

about the transporter thing oh Three composers

two hosts one podcast What's up next there Steve

uh Well, there's I don't know if you looked at

this or not, but there's this plastic like polymer

that self heals Mm -hmm. Oh, yeah, I've seen

this. I thought that that was kind of interesting

I If that's the case They could come up with

stuff because it self heals theoretically at

room temperature If it was actually able to do

that you could repair like your your phone or

Pretty much anything that's made with that kind

of material. Yeah I mean just that that could

let that alone could save money on all kinds

of things that crack or break Yeah, that would

be very very cool I'm kind of waiting to see

what they plan on doing with it if they ever

Do anything with it because you know a lot of

these scientific things that kind of come out

You either hear about it when it's being developed

or you never hear from it again. Yeah which Lot

of the cases what happens either that or they

throw it in some secret government facility and

say no one can see this ever Yeah That's kind

of like a new story that came out a while ago

about a real working laser and then like a month

later Mike the Birdman Dodd had a better review

copy Yeah, that's crazy No, but that that that

is really cool. I Think that you know, it would

save a lot of money on it depending on if it

gets developed and how much it'll cost it'll

depending on how much you know that they'll market

it for it might save a lot of money and having

to fix cell phones or computers or ever needing

an Apple care product. Oh, yeah an Apple care

plan That was very cool. All righty. So. Well,

I don't really want to talk about this, but I

probably should based that it's on the movie

that I'm interested in. They have info, quote

unquote, on why Jesse Eisenberg was cast as a

young Lex Luthor. And again, they're trying to

pull like the smallville. Which. I kind of get,

but I don't really care either. I. I. I. I'm

curious to see how they play out. But I don't

have much enthusiasm for him, although in some

poses and some looks that he does, I can see

like a young Lex Luthor. Yeah, but there's also

been a newer article that has come out. Yeah,

as of like 10 hours ago that yeah, I didn't put

in the script that Jerk my bad. I just found

it though It says that um And this is probably

speculative anyway, but it's probably true. I

wouldn't put it past them They've done all kinds

of other weird stuff. So They're saying that

Luther will be bald, but shave bald not follicle

challenged They're going to say that he's going

to have tattoos. And kind of make him kind of

like a Tony Stark kind of thing at 18. See, and

they're going to make him like street tough.

Like, you know, like, why are they changing things?

Like, I don't know if it's true, though. So,

I mean, it's kind of hard to get on that. soapbox

because everybody's been like, oh, have you seen

this or or oh, Ben Affleck doesn't care about

Batman. He smokes, you know, I mean, just stupid

crap like that. It's it's the fanboys like attacking

it. So I'm trying to keep an open mind and see

how some of this plays out because we haven't

seen anything. I'm so sick of this movie. Well,

we haven't seen it. We haven't seen zero about

we haven't seen the suit. We we've heard that.

ben's wife while i do like her as an actress

we've heard that jennifer gardener is that all

the suit is amazing the suit is this is all that

they've had as they've been saying it to you

know and it's well met them it's going to be

the new robin's so right here's the thing okay

nightwing i don't know if a boston nightwing

would actually work in the world but anyway uh...

here's the thing originally Because as of this

recording, Steve and I haven't recorded Geek

Cast Radio episode 58. Episode 58 of Geek Cast

Radio, I was gonna say 2015, the year that Hollywood

exploded, but now we can't even do that topic

because everything's being moved around and juggled

because they don't wanna fill up 25 - But here's

the thing. Batman, Superman, I'm sick of it already.

I just wanna see the movie. I don't give a crap

about any of this news because it's one of those

things where... show us a teaser, show us a trailer,

show us something that they've actually filmed

with Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill. As far as

the Lex Luthor news, here's the thing, if they're

gonna rip off Smallville, which is fine and well

and good, why not do it the same way Smallville

did it, where they had a little kid who had hair,

and in the meteor shower he lost his hair. the

adult version could be michael friggin rosenbaum

just like in small michael rosenbaum sandwiches

anyone can say what they want to say about smallville

that's fine that's their opinion i'm sorry michael

rosenbaum was one of the best lex luthor's that

we've ever had he was the best live action lex

luthor and clancy brown is the best voice actor

well that's i'm specifically talking live action

well i know but i'm saying like he is the best

one Since Gene Hackman, we had John Shay and

Wilson Clark. I know there's been numerous others,

but the main ones are Gene Hackman, John Shay,

and Michael Rosenbaum. And Michael Rosenbaum

has been the best one. If you're going to play

up this Lex Clark relationship, I would love

to see them do it in a way where all of the Lex

Clark friendship stuff Happen before the first

movie. So have it done in flashbacks Here's the

thing about Batman Superman, whatever the hell

they're gonna call it. I don't even want Batman

Superman now I need a sequel to Man of Steel

that has to deal with Superman first before you

bring in Batman before you bring in Wonder Woman

before you bring in Brainy before you bring in

the Justice League already Jesus talk I just

it's just pissing me off so much all this news

about this stupid movie And now at this point

it's again to get last year with all the news

It was two years away because it was gonna be

in 2015 now. They're pushing it back in 2016

so again It's two years away, and there's still

all this frigging news for a movie that isn't

coming out for two years I'm so sick of it. I

may not even watch the damn movie until it hits

Netflix and Redbox. I'm Again and see and that's

where fan rage gets into it But More so what

what I'm concerned about With the whole thing

is It's not even that really I mean, I'm kind

of sick of it, but it kind of falls and it's

kind of It's it's almost Hollywood's fault yeah

Now let me finish this thought but go ahead It's

almost their fault that their movies Bring so

much negative attention because they broadcast

everything And it's not that I want to hate on

the movies because I really am excited for them.

It's the fact that Hollywood tends to more or

less they open up this can of worms that they

aren't actually ready for yeah and wonder why

everybody's coming at them like rabid dogs it's

you you kind of have to take it everything with

a grain of salt and then plus you've got every

media outlet ours included is reporting on rumors

and total BS that realistically Doesn't really

need to be out there like it's Everybody's covering

all this news and all this or you know quote

-unquote news and then you've got Everybody's

Opinions floating around it's It's just it I

could definitely see where people just kind of

get Bogged down with the the news stuff like

it it gets to be old listening to people piss

and moan See that's one of the reasons why I'm

not doing a new any not specifically AGU But

this is one reason why I don't do news podcasts

anymore because it makes me so upset about something

so insignificant that is like I said two years

away and Really all as I want to do is watch

the movie and I know we're gonna talk about this

later But I'm gonna bring it up here now you

look at Batman Superman and all the hype and

rumors and blah blah blah blah Then you take

a look at the Michael Bay camp and you look at

Transformers 4 I know Practically zero about

whatever the age of extinction age of extinction

plot is going to be or what that film is going

to be I know there's going to be Dinobots I know

there's Mark Wahlberg instead of Shia LaBeach,

which is a much better improvement in my opinion

the thing I Like we can get into the the Transformers

aspect didn't Yeah the supplement segment later

but the one thing I have to say about Transformers

4 that I think they did right this time they

didn't leak anything yeah that's yeah and that's

that's kind of my point here so I think they

actually gave a plot this time around which you

know that's just freaking candy right there yeah

because the last time we got kind of hosed Um,

yeah, but let's but that's my only point of bringing

that up Now here and now is if you look at Batman

Superman and all the media hype and all the Hollywood

crap that's gone into that and it's two years

away You look at transformers for sure. Maybe

last year or even in 2012. We had a whole bunch

of You know casting news or whatever the hell

else, but Like, I've heard, I've literally saw

nothing of a story leak or anything like that

with Transformers 4 versus everything to do with

this Batman, Superman sequel, whatever the hell

it's gonna be. And it's just one of those things

where I, what I meant to say when I started this

out was one of the reasons why I don't do news

podcasts is because I am pretty much now, I wanna

wait and see. you know I've said before I said

last time I was on the show if I watch a trailer

I'll give my opinion on the trailer and if I

want to see the movie or not based on the trailer

you know but lately a lot of this stuff I've

been holding my tongue because because I just

I just want to see the stuff I don't care about

the gossip or the hype or any of that I just

want to see the media that's what I want to see

No, I mean I totally agree with you. I mean it's

it at this point Hollywood has realistically

jumped the shark Yes, like it really has and

it's it's because and you know, it's everybody's

fault too. It's social media Yeah, and it again

that pours into my last episode of AGU Where

I talked about Social media. Yeah, it's it's

run rampant and everything like there's no There's

no wiggle room on anything. Everything is out

in the open, which again, that's a good thing

and a bad thing Yeah, because This is the kind

of stuff that it spurns is people complaining

and you know, it's not that I want to complain

It's not that you want to complain It's just

how it is and Until they can hide stuff better

It's gonna make it difficult for extreme fanboys

such as ourselves To shutter pie holes Yeah,

you know, I just want always I want out of any

of this stuff is maybe some good cartoons, you

know, that's The movies are all well and good.

They are. But like I've been saying the last

few minutes here, it's like I just want to see

the flipping thing. That's all. I just want to

see it. I don't care about if Matt Damon's going

to be Robin or if Jack Nicholson is going to

be the Joker again or which can you imagine?

Ben Affleck versus Jack Nicholson. That would

just be scary. Yeah. Here's Johnny. Yeah. No,

not. Oh, yeah. But, you know, it'd be cool. I

mean, yeah, I just I hope that now that this

tirade is over, I hope that folks. Well, I mean,

I hope that they Eventually go back to the days

where and I know it's kind of beating a dead

horse, but There's really no mystery and it's

it's our fault too for egging it on but I think

that they shouldn't but like again the Transformers

4 thing comes into my mind because I've been

kind of paying attention more so because Transformers

3 was such a travesty that I didn't care. And

then this one, you've literally heard little

to nothing, which is the only reason why it's

enticing is because I don't know anything about

it. Yeah. And the other two, I mean, Transformers

three was all right and Transformers two was

crap. But I I find myself more enthused to look

forward to. the next one yes why are you laughing

so i don't know if you're gonna go with this

but i'm looking at the next news story every

new car in europe may be fitted with a police

controlled kill switch oh my god those europeans

oh boy that'd be funny wouldn't it It kind of

would be yeah, I I well, I mean they kind of

already do that with on star Yeah, pretty much

All right, where are we going to next well, I

think We can go Maybe Amazon Prime Yeah, um Amazon

Prime has been $80 a year for as long as I can

remember. And apparently it's about to get a

lot more expensive. It's 80 bucks a year. It

gets you unlimited streaming video on Amazon

Prime. It gets you unlimited two -day shipping.

CEO Jeff Bezos said the company is considering

exactly that. arrays Amazon is looking into hiking

the price as much as fifty percent Let's see

the cost is $79 now They would hike it up to

119 But you gotta think about this folks Whether

it's $79 or a hundred and whether it's 80 or

120 bucks. That's a hundred. That's 80 $80 a

year now Gets you unlimited two -day shipping

free two -day shipping Gets you thousands of

movies and TV shows that are in Amazon Prime's

library So if you're someone that shops on Amazon

a lot and get stuff sent to them a lot $80 a

year That's a damn good price to me even if it

goes up to $120 that's still $120 a year if you

had something If you had packages shipped to

you all year long, that's a lot of money You

know what I mean? Oh, no I'm I have no qualms

about this. I mean, I'm sure it sucks. It's gonna

go up if It if it does go up it's gonna suck,

but it's not gonna be like oh my god We're taking

it from 80 and making it $200 a year but you

know, it's the Guess you could say it's the cost

of inflation. I gotta raise prices sometime With

the economy we live in because of certain people

that are in the government What do you think

of this? I don't have you ever used Amazon Prime

long enough to Get something and then I Canceled

it. Yeah So maybe you could technically say no,

I haven't really used it but See the thing is

with them. I don't know what they I had a trial

a couple of years ago And they sent me a trial

recently. They sent me another email for a new

30 -day trial to try it out So I tried it out

over I think it was October to November. Yeah

was October to November of last year and I had

ordered like two or three things off of there

and i'm like oh two -day shipping yay i can get

stuff you know two -day shipping free for whatever

uh... for whatever podcast review or written

review i needed at the time and i started looking

into their video library because that was around

october november was around the time i first

started guessing on talking about my generation

with uh... doggable uh... And we were gonna review

planes, trains, and automobiles, and I hadn't

seen the movie in forever, and I'm like, okay,

well, I don't wanna buy the DVD. Oh, wait, I

have Amazon Prime. Let's see if it's in the,

and it was in the instant video thing, so I watched

it right there on Amazon. It was great. I mean,

it's a great service, like I said, if you have

more than five or six things shipped to you every

other month. It's a great service for the, on

-demand video library that they have. And it's

a yearly price. At least it's not 70, 80, or

90 dollars a month. That would kill it. But a

yearly price is a good thing. And with them having

to possibly look into raising it, it doesn't

bother me, because you're still getting all kinds

of stuff out of it. I myself, I don't. pay for

it because I just don't care. I'll wait the extra

days most of the time. Now, if it's Christmas

time, that's a little bit different. I'm a little

impatient. That's the only reason I used the

free trial was so that I could get the stuff.

Yeah, I would not have done that any other reason,

like any other way. But I, I, I get it. I mean,

costs are constantly going up for everything.

Yeah, so I get what they're they're having to

go through Yeah, so let's jump into This this

one I actually found quite interesting to round

out the news Derva asked IBM to build a processor

that self -destructs I Have no idea why But I

think it's hilarious they they want the hardware

that can vaporize itself. I Guess the US military

uses kinds of stuff, but not that does this so

they want Skynet essentially Isn't it funny how

we just work closer and closer to that Yeah,

it's kind of scary too. It's like they're good.

They're gonna kill us all of them I don't know.

I don't understand why they would... I mean,

I guess I do, but... It's kind of a freaky concept.

Yeah, that creates devices. You could kill somebody

real easy that way. Oh, I don't like you. Here's

a brand new cell phone, Jimmy. It reminds me

of... Okay, I know this article is saying self

-destruct, but again, it reminds me so much of

Die Hard 4. Press a button and whoops, there

goes the C4. Boom, you're dead. It reminds me

of that and it reminds me of Mission Impossible.

This computer will self -destruct in five seconds.

Our government is weird. It's freaky is what

it is. It's freaky and it's weird and it just...

Yeah. So, let's get into some listener feedback

pertaining to the previous episode. We have a

couple that mentioned, for instance, Freddy Savage

says that TMNT stuff looked pretty awesome. It's

doing something different, which I don't mind,

and has me way more excited for the movie. You

weren't on the last episode, so what were your

thoughts on the TMNT? I've only seen the maquettes.

There was not a teaser, right? For Super Bowl?

No. there is this there is just uh... the post

that is not going to try to get out i'm not really

following the t m and t stuff i am following

it but i'm not uh... i saw the mac cats well

the first thing i saw was which is apparently

now the band michaelangelo halloween costume

and i was like oh no it looks like they took

will smith and painted his face green uh... uh...

not touching anything The TMNT stuff, I'm interested

to see what they do. Let's face it folks, this

isn't the 90s anymore. You know, 1990 when TMNT

came out, when the first Turtles movie came out,

we were all hopped up on the animated series,

a lot of people were still into the Mirage comics,

and seeing those characters come to life in whichever

way you knew them. and seeing that first glimpse

of Shredder in that dark room with the light

gleaming off his helmet. I'm really interested

to see what they do with Shredder. I'm really

interested to see how the turtles are really

going to work with this new cut. I'm not so sold

on the voice actors. That's really the only thing.

I've seen the list of who's supposed to be voicing

each turtle. I don't think I know a single one

of these people. I don't think I've ever heard

of them. And I get it that if they want to, you

know, pull a Superman and pull a Dick Donner

and go with an unknown, go with a bunch of unknowns,

fine. I just think if it's gonna be... If the

movie is gonna be people in suits and then voice

dubbed in or whatever it's gonna be, I just think

they could have gone with better voice actors.

As far as the designs on them... Get rid of the

friggin' glasses on Donnie, that's just so dumb.

I'm of the same opinion. As far as the overall

aesthetic of how each turtle looks, I like it

because I don't know what kind of style they're

going for. Shredder looks amazing. I don't know

if they're going to Super Shredder out or just

a different take on the actual original Shredder

look, but I love that. It looks awesome. Again...

As I said a few moments ago with the Batman Superman

stuff. I just want to see the movie It's really

all it is. I just want to see what it is at this

point Yeah, I'm I'm kind of wondering Yeah, what

what they're going to do at this point in time

it's It's hard to say like I'm kind of torn I

really, and I voiced it last episode, I really

hate the lips thing and I really hate the glasses

on Donnie. Yeah. I know it's a stereotypical

character that I can't get around. I just, I

really, really freaking hate the BS stereotypes

that Bay is famous for. And for some reason he

loves lips. Don't know if it's because he's had

too many years on Transformers no doing shooting

Victoria's Secret stuff or or what but He's got

a thing for his lips I Don't get it, but whatever

that's I will say my one trepidation about the

film is Megan Fox as fux people fux as uh as

april o 'neill she's not a great actress megan

fox is again i'm open to seeing what happens

in the movie i'm not saying i'm not gonna go

see it i'm more so probably gonna go see this

before i really see before i really make any

decisions on if i'm really gonna go see batman

superman in two years but this is one of those

things where i when she was cast as a problem

like no there's a million better actresses that

could play a pro uh... but other than that i'm

really stoked to see turtles and and see what

they do with it i had to keep role i have to

keep rewinding my brain and say okay it's michael

is production company but he's not directing

it I get it that a production company has a lot

of influence especially with Michael Bay has

a lot of influence But we got to remember that

somebody else Jonathan something or other is

in the director's chair, so I'm More positive

about turtles than maybe some people are out

there Yeah, we'll see I'm not very positive on

it, but I Am I it more so hurts me like Transformers

has already been ruined for me like So they can

only go up. But I'm really hoping that Turtles

turns out fine. Again, fanboyism coming in there.

I'll try and keep an open mind. It's just so

hard to do when you have the nostalgia. And that's

the one thing I envy about Mike powers is he

doesn't have nostalgia He can just roll with

it and that's I kind of wish I could do that

but a lot of the time I find myself Stuck in

this position that I'm like, I don't like it

because they did this And really there's no good

reason for it I'm just nitpicking But it's Again

Yeah, here's open. Yeah, here's open What else

we got for feedback? There's well there's I guess

we'll go into some of the comments of Other things

in there mostly stuff that has to do with the

Super Bowl Yes Yeah King of King of Kong said

I thought the best Super Bowl commercials were

kind of meh this year I like the Radio Shack

one with the 80s want their store back and the

one with the Muppets other than that I can't

think of any that really stood out to me We'll

get into our thoughts on them in a little bit.

Yeah Brad Kellogg says does anyone else not like

it when they see stars or artists and commercials

I get they need to get paid or whatever But when

I see musicians or actors using their popularity

to see some crappy product It makes me feel sad

and I mean who buys something because someone

famous told you to buy it. Well, I guess everyone

does It depends on who the the actor is or it

really depends on who the star is And for me

some of the commercials it isn't even that artists

are in commercials. It's if the artists saw like

Commercials use all kinds of classic songs nowadays

And it just depends on whether it rubs me the

wrong way and again it has to be a commercial

for me like I'm sorry having Let's just I'm trying

to think of an example of having Huey Lewis in

the news power of love in a In a car commercial

isn't going to make me want to go out and spend

money I don't have on a car I probably would

never drive since I don't drive. That's just

an example stars in commercials it depends on

the star because I While I don't buy or or eat

Dannon's Greek Oikos yogurt I like seeing John

Stamos in some of those commercials even though

they're over the top This one it was kind of

under the top but yeah Yeah Yeah, very much so

But it doesn't really bother me what bothers

me is and this is just my personal opinion What

bothers me is they will go with someone who can

do an on -camera appearance versus someone who

does a great voiceover I'm just I'm not I'm not

angry about this, I'm not pointing any fingers

anywhere, but for the longest time, Rob Paulson

was Mr. Opportunity for Honda, and then for a

while, um, oh, uh, what's his name? It's on Seinfeld.

Uh, Chris, oh god. Uh, Christopher, uh, not Christopher,

um, Patrick Warburton. for a while Patrick Warburton

was doing on -camera stuff for Honda and it's

like okay yes I like Patrick Warburton but please

bring back Mr. Opportunity so it doesn't really

bother me all that much it just depends on like

what bothers me is more so the commercials because

it depends on if I want to see the commercial

or not makes sense Andre says the Super Bowl

ad I like the most was the one with the British

actors playing villains. Did anyone see the article

on slash show about who directed what commercials?

Some big name directors do a lot of TV commercials.

I didn't really check out any of the directors

information. I just kind of watched the commercials

and that one was interesting. Yeah. Justin says

a great episode could not agree more with Steve's

thoughts on social media. Too often people use

it just to complain about things that really

don't matter in the long run. People get bent

out of shape about everything nowadays, as you've

heard in the beginning of this episode so far.

Sorry, I don't speak up about a lot of this stuff.

I might make a snide, I might just like, like

it, and that's what I love about Facebook, say

what you want about Facebook, but Facebook is

everywhere now. I can go onto a website and I

can share that link of a story and I can just,

you know, write in the comments some snide, funny,

quirky remark, post it to my Facebook wall and

be done with it. So, I don't know. No, I agree

but Yeah, so There's that also He says forgot

to mention I use downcast for listening to podcasts

as I have an Android phone I'll have to try that

out. I honestly don't use anything on my phone

to download podcasts. I usually download through

iTunes And then I physically go to the folder

I grab all of the audio files and then I dump

them to my Sony Walkman mp3 player Yeah To listen

to podcasts because I don't want to drain my

battery Yeah Since it barely works half the time

anyway Yeah, I've had both an iPhone and an Android

phone Because I do all my stuff through iTunes.

It's just I prefer the iPhone. I liked having

the Android phone at the time. I had the Samsung,

what was it? Oh crap, I can't even remember.

Samsung, not Samsung, I had the HTC Sensation

at the time and I really enjoyed it, but I prefer

the iPhone for all my audio stuff since I deal

with iTunes on a daily basis. I've tried Stitcher,

but I always forget that you have to have the

app open to listen to the thing. So, and now

I don't do smartphones these days. I pay 90 bucks

a year, or sometimes generous listeners will

donate money for us to have the Skype line still

going, but Skype... for the phone service and

for the phone number is ninety dollars a year.

I'd rather pay ninety bucks a year than ninety

bucks a month for a cell phone bill. No, and

that's understandable. Yeah. So yeah, that about

rounds out the listener comments. So we will

be right back after this with a look in You're

listening to All Things Transformers, version

2 .0. Welcome back to Altered Geek Unlimited

and, well, we're gonna get into the conversation

about Transformers 4's trailer. Yes, um... So

what do you think about that one? I was speechless

the whole time I watched. I've rewatched it several

times. I'm still speechless. I have no idea what's

going on in that trailer. All I know is Optimus

Prime rides Grimlock. that's that's all i know

um and it was really funny because uh our good

friend uh protoman x aka uh the gd protoman uh

mr transformers uh lore himself uh i remember

seeing his reaction after seeing it he's like

with all my knowledge that i know about transformers

i have no idea what just happened in that trailer

It basically found him speechless as well It's

a trailer for a movie and I like it. It's gonna

be good I'm glad shy is not anywhere near it

anymore. I'm glad that they're bringing in new

blood I do still think they could have used Josh

Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson again for those characters

because I did like those characters but the rest

of it's It looks like it's mostly gonna be giant

robots. Sure. There's there's human stuff in

there a little bit but it doesn't look like there's

much from that teaser and that teaser was the

perfect teaser because again it didn't give anything

away it didn't tell us the entire plot and it

left us being like what the hell just happened

and see for that reason alone i have to give

michael bay kudos yeah um just because i don't

know what to think Yeah, like I I'm actually

genuinely enthused for the film because I don't

know a damn thing about it other than it's got

Dinobots and a possible resurrection by our favorite

Decepticon Galvatron nice. Yeah. Well, they're

they're saying that they've seen Megatron's head

on set Interesting so there's that's definitely

not out of the question so I found a And I just

found this too. It's a breakdown of the the trailer

And it's kind of spoilery They said that you

know that between the Megatron's head being on

set that could be Galvatron and then There's

this tank looking guy that's in the trailer that

she and to begin with I thought I saw Megatron's

face in it but it's probably more than likely

and they've kind of leaked a little bit information

on it it could be locked down yeah which whatever

I mean it's I like the transformation I like

the look of the robot so I could care less the

name I mean it's it looked awesome they have

a the Freightliner robot. They're claiming that

possibilities for robots in this could be Galvatron,

Motor Master, and even Cyclonus, which would

be interesting. A lot of the robots in this look

just spectacular. They've shown Cybertronian

spaceships, so they could have unlocked and brought

more big baddies. Unicron could play into the

equation. Yeah. They have a scene where Optimus

is captured by lockdown. Yeah, Optimus is captured.

Yeah. So that's interesting as well. They got

a guy called Crosshairs that's almost like a

redesign of like Bumblebee slash Ratchet. Yeah.

Cuz he's all green. Yeah. Yeah, I guess he's

based off of Corvette Stingray the the new Corvette

that's awesome. Yeah, we sell that Hey look,

it's air razor. Yeah, it does look that way the

aerial beast spot. That's yeah I like that that

I mean it could be swoop too, but yeah, that's

that's true Yeah, that that that would make more

sense. Yeah I don't know, when it says Beast,

I think Beast Wars. I'll have to look and see

if I can find it on Facebook, but after the trailer

came out, somebody posted an image of the G1

characters with Optimus riding Grimlock, and

it was so awesome. I saw that. I saved my phone.

It's like they show Optimus riding Grimlock in

Toronto mode. They added horns to Grimlock's

head, which, whatever. It's Maleficent. That

version of Grimlock looked awesome. I have no

beef whatsoever about him bringing the Dinobots

in, and I knew he wanted to do it originally,

which is kind of interesting. I also note that

they have a scene with Chinese influence, which

everybody knew they were shooting in China somewhere.

Like Hong Kong. Yeah. Yes, whatever. It's That

was a part of the the fun. Oh, that's track everything

that's going on for five days and But yeah, I'm

lucky I went back to pro man's feed on Twitter

to the Super Bowl Sunday He says, people complaining

how Captain America and Spider -Man got four

minute trailers and TF4 only got 30 seconds and

then his next tweet is in all caps. Do you want

them to use up all the robot footage? Four minutes

is a brutal on -bay movie. We knew that the Super

Bowl ad for TF4 was going to be a teaser trailer.

Teasers are... 30 to 50 seconds. They're not

two -minute trailers. How many teasers have we

already had? The end of last year beginning of

this year for Captain America and the Captain

America and Spidey because they're coming out

sooner than Transformers Have already had their

teaser trailers. So of course they're gonna get

full -on ad trailers for the Super Bowl Yeah,

I But the transformer stuff like I know you're

not that Big on Dark of the Moon. Dark of the

Moon is my favorite out of the trilogy because

I actually saw Transformers lore in it and I

saw G1 elements in it and all that kind of good

stuff so... I like Dark of the Moon. I mean I'm

really really interested to see where Age of

Extinction takes us and the Dinobots and all

that. I don't really have any negative things

to say at this point yet about it because I'm

really really stoked for it at this point. I'm

super excited for it. I really am. So I think

with that we'll take another quick break and

we'll come back with... topic of the night which

is the Super Bowl trailers and our thoughts on

them and which ones we liked and then we'll close

it out so we'll be back after this Out of my

yard! Jimmy? You're so old. It's the future!

We're boring, we ain't got no room! You doing

all right there, fella? They were singing vegetables!

And tickets! Yeah, comes to me all the time.

The all -new Highlander, Toyota. Let's go places!

Take off your pants, Greek boy. Huh? You heard

the man. Take those pants off. That's gonna stain.

No, no. No, please. Don't leave me alone with

him. She wasn't good for us anyway. Radio shack?

Okay. What? The 80s called. They want their store

back. It's time for a new Radio Shack. Come see

what's possible when we do things together. You're

too late. And welcome back to Altered Geek. Well,

let's get into the Super Bowl trailers. Mike

and I both have sat down and watched them. Or

most of them. So what ones off just off the top

kind of strike you as interesting? Are we talking

about commercials or trailers? I guess. Well,

I guess you can bring up the trailers because

I didn't really care to watch any of them other

than Transformers. And then we can transition

to the actual commercials. I keep saying trailers

whenever we talk about Super Bowl, even though

there's commercials. Yes, so um I watched the

transformers trailer which we've already talked

about I watched the Captain America and The spider

-man 2 trailer or amazing spider -man 2 trailer

Captain America winter soldier I Might have to

go back and read the book so I can kind of Know

what the hell's going on. I know it takes place

after the events of the Avengers and all that

stuff So it's kind of like they're sitting up

and I love how Marvel does this Any film that

has the core Avengers characters Iron Man Hulk

Captain America Thor Even though I didn't care

for Thor the Dark World They're setting it up

after Avengers and showing you What these characters

have done on their own post The battle for New

York Captain America Winter Soldier. I'm super

stoked to see it because I Never liked cat before

Chris Evans kind of reinvented him for me with

The 2011 film and Avengers and now the sequel

I'm really interested to see but at the same

time after seeing the trailer. I still have no

idea What's really because I thought the Winter

Soldier was supposed to I thought Bucky was supposed

to come back Or something that's just what I

thought Listeners don't berate me in the comics

or comments because I don't know because I haven't

read a lot of cap comics ever So I'm really,

really stoked and interested to see what happens

in that. With Amazing Spider -Man 2, they're

building upon what they already kind of built

upon in the first film and kind of teased a whole

bunch of stuff. I still prefer, at this point,

Andrew Garfield over Tobey Maguire. He's got

a better flair for the character than Tobey ever

had. Tobey had the geeky kind of side and Andrew,

at this point, he's got the flair. of study with

the black suit without having to have him in

the the symbiote uh... so i'm really really interested

to see it i think they didn't need for speed

spot but i don't remember uh... you know this

need for speed the only reason why i'm even interested

in seeing it because it's based on the game franchise

and because it's erin paul outside of breaking

bad he's a really good actor i'd just don't care

about that but those are the ones that watched

uh... with the commercials uh... i guess we'll

start out with this first of all thanks to that

friggin' bronco my team isn't in it this year

wasn't in it this year the patriots did not make

it to the superbowl because of friggin' manning

uh... so if my team's not in it i wasn't going

to watch the game and uh... superbowl commercials

to me the last couple years haven't been as awesome

as they were 10, 11, 12 years ago. It just, I

don't know what it is, but some of them, now

that I've gone back and seen them online, some

of them are pretty cool, but I just, I had zero

interest in watching the event of the Super Bowl

this year. And I think it was the whole thing

of, oh, are we gonna move it a day ahead, or

are we gonna move it, are we gonna move it to

Saturday, or are we gonna move it to Monday?

I'm sorry do not move the they they've already

moved the Super Bowl enough putting it back way

back into February well not way back into February

but Super Bowl when I was a kid growing up was

usually the third week of January and over the

last few years it's been the first Sunday of

first or second Sunday of February that's to

me that's way too far That just it just is but

The commercials I liked the Radio Shack one.

I do have to agree with Who said that that they

liked it which one of the listener? I'm sorry.

I'm not on this show all the time So I don't

know everybody that comments on the damn thing.

Who was it? It was it was King of Kong Yeah,

yeah. King of Kongs, I agree with you that Radio

Shack 1 was the best one. I really enjoyed that.

That was funny. Some of the other ones... Some

of the other ones are just cringe -worthy to

me. They really are. Let me see here. Bud Light,

Ian is up for anything. That was just... Butterfinger

cup therapy. Oh my god. That's just so wrong.

It really is so, so wrong. I've seen a lot of

CarMax commercials in my day, but the slow clap

has to be the most of WTF moment for a commercial

I've ever had. I don't get it. I didn't get it

either. I found it. extremely boring it was stupid

like I let's see so we've also got the Danons

Oikos yogurt and at first I was like I said to

Steve Voffair I'm like I've already seen this

commercial with Jesse from Full House he's like

did you watch the rap? I'm like no He's like

watch the rest. I'm like, okay, so I watched

it and the other two Danny and Danny Tanner and

Joey Gladstone show up thought that was really

great. I especially love that they started kind

of taking the commercial dark and like dirty

Because my wife is like no She's like they're

not gonna do that and I says, oh they're trying

I Says but wait, there's more and then like all

of a sudden they show up Because she thought,

I don't want to watch this, this looks dirty.

And then they went and did what they did. And

then she was like, that's actually funny. The

two Coke ads I didn't care for, one is it's beautiful.

And the other one is going all the way. The going

all the way one, it's basically Forrest Gump

without the leg problem. That's all it is. Comedians

and cars getting coffee. It's Seinfeld people

It's Jerry and George. So that's always interesting

The Doritos time machine would have been better

if the old guy was Doc Brown That was actually

a pretty funny commercial you have the kid sitting

there. Yeah shaking it going And then the the

guys like Jimmy you got so old Some of these

commercials I just don't I just don't get go

daddy had a bodybuilder commercial. Well, they

also had The chick building the Muppets Yeah,

the puppet master which I was like I could take

it or leave it Honda if you're happy that was

the Bruce Willis one that was kind of cool The

rest of them I don't know I just they just didn't

really Inspire me At all But and again, I'm not

really into this I wasn't really into the Super

Bowl this year I don't know. What about you?

I will say that the Pepsi halftime one was kind

of cool using all of New York as a DJ booth.

I thought that was kind of cool You want some

of these? Well, I like the The one with of course,

I like the one with the the full house characters

That was interesting the Arnold one the Bud Light

was just stupid Yeah, like he's wearing the wig

thing and you know Going around and it's just

I found it stupid But that's besides the point

all the bud Bud Light or you know, the Butterfinger

Budweiser. Those are always stupid Carmax was

the dumbest commercial. Oh, let's clap The the

Chevy one Yeah, I believe in miracles that was

just I was like really And again it goes back

to Brad Kellogg's comment about artists or stars

and commercials But for me, it's music. I'm sorry

if they use Like the most obvious me. It's like

really you chose that song for your commercial

You have like the Chobani Yogurt you have the

bear that ransacks the store you know that was

kind of funny only for the fact that this bear

just Destroys the whole place and then Leaves

the yogurt. Yeah The Matrix one with Morpheus

I don't watch that Which one was that the one

where he's sitting in the car? He's like will

you take the red key or the blue key? Oh, yeah

Then he starts singing like and he teleports

in the back of their car That was that was actually

kind of funny that kind of reminded me of the

The Ferris Bueller one last year Of course the

Doritos time machine one was great the cowboy

kid which Doritos did as well It's just two brothers

racing to the car to get a bag of Doritos and

the one brother hog ties the other one So that

was actually kind of funny The the Bruce Willis

Honda one was interesting Kind of boring, but

interesting. The Jaguar one with the villains.

Yeah. I totally got it and I thought it was cool,

but it wasn't my favorite. Yeah. Or the other

ones. You know, you have the Pepsi's halftime

one was interesting. Yeah. How it animated everything.

I think for me, the Radio Shack one is probably

the best. Yeah, I just love how they they you

know because most the stores do have that old

look and feel to them and They really do most

radio shacks that I've gone into in the last

10 to 12 years they still look like they're stuck

in the 80s with all the remote control cars and

the TVs and It just yeah, they needed a facelift.

Yeah badly But bring in the 80s nods was just

pure genius. Cliff Claven, people. Cliff Claven

and Hulk Hogan in the same commercial. That's

just awesome. Yeah, the Soda Stream one with

Scarlett Johansson where she's trying to be sexy

with pop, which was stupid. But they couldn't

play it on TV because the one version of it,

because at the end she says, sorry, Coke and

Pepsi, which again that's I understand it that's

it's dumb you know the funny thing is about SodaStream

is they actually have contracts with Coke and

Pepsi because I've seen Diet Coke like it's it's

Coca -Cola it's it's the Diet Coke flavor I've

seen that in stores where it's it's for SodaStream

but it's you make your own Diet Coke without

having to buy cans or whatever else and At this

point for me, I go through a lot of, I go through

probably two 24 packs a month, so that's 48 cans

a month. It's just easier spending 10 bucks on

two 24 packs for me than it is to buy a whole

other machine and then having to buy mixes to

mix it in like friggin' Kool -Aid. go through

more pop than you, but... Yeah, the sad thing

is, I'm overweight and you're skinny a little

bit. No, sorry, call me that. I have a extreme

metabolism. Yeah. My whole family hates me. As

well as my co -workers and my friends and everybody

else they're like you skinny bastard I used to

have a good metabolism not anymore apparently

Apparently in my family it dies when they hit

their 40s, so I have another 10 years to look

forward to So so yeah, there's that um The Toyota

one was awesome the what one Toyota is up its

The Muppets, that was just pure genius. And then

Terry Crews, he's like, he's like, I was talking

to singing vegetables and then Kermit's like,

yeah, that happens to me all the time. He was

like, yeah, that happens to me all the time.

He kept watering his lawn. It was just hilarious.

My wife thought that was pretty good, too. Did

you watch the Volkswagen one? No. That one's

actually funny. It's the Volkswagen, the one

that says they're playing a spin on It's a Wonderful

Life. Yeah. This little kid asked the dad or

the dad tells this kid something about every

time a vehicle is sold or whatever or it goes

over 100 ,000 miles. an engineer at Volkswagen

gets their wings. And so like you start seeing

odometers click over to 100 and all these engineers

start getting wings just popping out of their

back. Some of them bigger than others, some of

them smaller than others. And it was it was kind

of funny how that played out. And then the kid

asked, so what happens when they hit 200 ,000

miles? And then they said, well. They have rainbows

come out of their ass, you know And then you

see one guy at the end of the commercial and

he starts glowing in rainbow colors Wow, I was

like that's hilarious It's just it's I mean granted

most the commercials really kind of blue this

year, but yeah to me, I think the top ones were

Radio Shack the Muppets The full house and then

this Volkswagen wings Yeah, I enjoyed those so

much that I just I I was I was laughing during

them. Oh and the time machine the time machine.

Yeah, that was pretty good, too, but But again,

it's like and it's not even really that my team

wasn't in it Because as a kid, we used to watch

Super Bowl every year for the longest time, whether

the Patriots were in it or not. Because it was

the whole event of, oh, hey, we're going to have

a Super Bowl party. And we're going to all get

together and have fun and whatever else. But

nowadays, it's just like, unless Patriots are

in it, I don't care. Yeah. I guess so And it

goes back to what you were saying last week and

it goes back to what we were saying earlier in

this episode Why should I watch the Super Bowl

when I can just wait two hours or less than two

hours and the damn commercials will be online?

I mean You know Yeah, I I don't quite understand

the marketing of it. And I guess it would be

interesting to find out why they do that. Release

the trailers or the commercials and the trailers

before the Super Bowl. I mean, the trailers more

so stick to that schedule of playing during the

Super Bowl. Oh, yeah, they do. But they during

the Super Bowl, they come out. Yeah. But the

the commercials, they come out like a week ahead

of time. which to me, I don't watch the Super

Bowl. I wouldn't watch it regardless. I would

just wait until a couple of days after and then

I'd look them up on YouTube. But the fact that

all of them were compiled a week beforehand and

everyone was able to watch them, it makes me

wonder how those advertising dollars are actually

getting spent or worth their money for being

played on the Super Bowl. Because not a lot of

people were enthused with the Super Bowl or shut

it off at half point That's the other thing about

the Super Bowl I'm sorry to cut you off, but

that's the other thing the halftime show has

not been good since nipple gate Yeah, I was gonna

refer to that, but you beat me to the punch Or

you did the slip whichever Yeah, there's nothing

about There's nothing about the Super Bowl that

I care about anymore like I said unless my team's

in it I Don't know. It's just the tradition is

worn off on I guess for me. It really has I Think

it's all kind of overrated at this point. Yeah

pretty much So yeah, I think that about wraps

up this episode Unless you have any other thoughts.

I don't think so. I would just say to everybody

that listening, first of all, thank you for listening.

Go check out talking in circles the brand new

show with Dan Clark and his crew Chuck and Greg

I've heard that I've been reading in the comments

and stuff on the site that people are really

liking it. So Which is cool cool new addition.

Yeah, I don't I don't have any beef against them

Where's the beef I knew that was coming that

it worked the other day and then people were

giving her no I did it in class because we have

Not to go too far off -topic We have we have

to do a stupid project on Like there are four

groups There's one that's doing like Harley Davidson

and there's one that's doing Apple computers

Which I was sad I didn't get to have as my group

but only for the fact that it's Apple computers

Then there was Southwest Airlines and Dunkin

Donuts guess which group I'm in Dunkin Donuts

Ding ding ding. I could so help you with that

considering I'm from Massachusetts and that's

all we have up there is Dunkin Donuts. Well,

what we got here is a bunch of donuts. But yeah,

so we have to do a PowerPoint presentation. Oh,

my God. I'm the company like on all this information

on it. And I'm. Not really all that enthused

with having to do it. Are you the speaker? Fortunately,

no Damn. No, that would be awesome. Well, everybody

has to speak at some point during the presentation

I was gonna say if you were the main speaker,

that would be so awesome because We could oh

god, we so have to do it. Oh, okay Yeah, I'm

gonna wait on this because it it has to do with

the the donut guy in Beast Wars Megatron and

I will tell it to you off air we so have to put

this together sounds good that's that's all I

got all righty um so yeah that's that's what

I gotta look forward to I'm not happy about it

in the slightest but you know whatever So yeah,

we got to do that it's I I had to get I've gathered

so much information for it anyway, but The where's

the beef thing came up during that because there

was you know, it's the are the donuts ready,

you know and I Don't know it's just it I was

I was like I don't really want to do this this

sucks I don't like the class. It's a class that

has to be taken, so it's irritating to me. I'm

telling you, after you hear my idea, you're going

to like it even more. You will enjoy having to

make the donuts. I'm telling you, you will. Are

the donuts ready? Do they have pieces of rubber

ducky inside? No, and don't you dare make a panty

joke. We better end this before people rag on

See you next time. Hey Darcy, look. 100 ,000

miles. So? It's a big deal. What if I told you

that every time a Volkswagen hits 100 ,000 miles,

a German engineer gets his wings? Yeah, Dad,

and I'm sure at 200 ,000 miles, rainbows shit

out of their butts. Volkswagen has the most vehicles

on the road with over 100 ,000 miles. That's

the power of German engineering.
