Geek Unlimited. And all of a sudden unplugged.

Use something. Yes, something a little bit new.

Just slight title change. It just seems to be

more flowing. I'm your host, Steve Megatron Phillips.

Joined with... Michael Powers, host of Off the

Cuff for Geekcast Radio. Yep, and We've had quite

a bit of feedback since last week. Oh, yes And

it's been good feedback, too Yeah, apparently

we did a good job of you know Honoring Connor

Murphy's request of dividing up the topics a

little better to make it a lot easier to follow

I was worried about whether or not we actually

accomplished that one Yeah, it wasn't particularly

painting paying that close of attention to it.

I mean, I was trying to mention it, but I was

always trying not to. I don't know segment segment

stuff segmented too much. But yeah, I had some

great comments, especially about the Batfleck.

Yeah. I you know, we did go through these different

stages of grief. as Plato's lament said. By the

end of that show, I was actually okay with the

casting. I guess acceptance for it for me came

on Saturday when I kind of realized that Ben

Affleck had the same chin as the DCAU Batman.

And the Arkham games. Yeah, so I was just kind

of like alright cool fine It also prompted the

wife and I to rent Argo and the town We've only

watched Argo and Surprisingly My wife actually

enjoyed Argo as well. I Mean I enjoyed it. I

was just kind of surprised she did because she

usually doesn't like the slow talking espionage

movies Yeah, my wife doesn't either but Affleck

managed to make it gripping enough That she was

actually entertained by it so I mean obviously

he's not directing the Batman Superman movie

But you know I I saw shades of like I mean he's

got a beard in Argo, right? so I kind of saw

shades of the Rundown worn out Bruce Wayne if

you will yeah Which obviously Bale gave us as

well, but I'm okay with it. I've moved on to

other questions about the DCCU, the DC Cinematic

Universe. Mainly who they're gonna cast as the

Joker. What the Batmobile's gonna look like.

Because that I think that's gonna be a huge Beyond

the suit that's gonna be a big deal for me Yeah,

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be pretty much on par

with you there. I'm thinking the suit and the

The Batmobile are gonna be the the main key features

for me Yeah, like what do you what do you want

to see? I think we touched on it a little bit

last week. What what do you want to see for the

suit? Know we talked about like the we we'd like

the black and gray I know a lot of it got talked

about on Twitter specifically right, but I'm

pretty much hoping that we either get a very

dark dark blue With like a dark gray or having

the actual black with Like the dark gray Kind

of costume, and I don't want to see it armored

like all the previous ones I don't want to see

it all black like all the previous ones. I mean

we've never actually had since the 66 Batman

a two -tone bat suit Right I think given the

way they like we said on the last show and on

Twitter But you know people we get new listeners

all the time hopefully um I I hope they go more

the man of steel route where it's like a textured

spandex look less armor plating and more like

chiseled skin like i can see it i can see it

not being the alien texture that the man of steel

had and i can see it being like a flat texture

but like with little um i guess it would look

like armor plating but you could do things it

would not be armor plating do you know what i'm

saying yeah i know what you're getting at um

It's like you could it would look like a suit

it wouldn't look so alien It would look like

something that he made or had manufactured for

him the one thing I don't want to see on the

suit is the yellow bat symbol I don't think they're

gonna go that route just because of the particular

bat signal they chose to go with the Superman

logo for the Batman Superman yeah, but that was

also like that could have been like a placeholder

image you know what I'm saying like it could

have been but I think they're gonna keep with

the Even in the comics they've they've kept with

this bat symbol that doesn't use the the black

and yellow I know I'm just putting out my opinions,

you know, it's like I don't want to see like

the yellow utility bell I don't want to see the

yellow the yellow bats. So those are just things

I never really I never liked about the Batman

The of all the different incarnations. Those

are the things I didn't like about the Batman

thing and since this is new It's stuff that I

don't want to see, you know, it's like I don't

I don't want that so With regards to the Batmobile

like again, we talked about on Twitter the DCAU

Batmobile like the first generation and the second

generation one Yeah, I'm okay with the first

the the first generation one. I'm really okay

with the second generation one I'm I'm Sort of

okay with I was in love with the Tumblr from

Nolan's Batman Because it was a very It served

a purpose. I mean it did not need to be he'd

not be need to be driving around in a sports

car He needed something utilitarian that could

get the job done, and it didn't look like a bat

I don't like when Batman stuff looks like a bat

Yeah, and and the thing that always there's two

examples. I always have the bat credit card that

he had in Batman and Robin And, you know, the

going back to the Adam West Batman again, the

bat shark repellent. Like. I just I don't like

the bat themed gadgets. I know he actually. Oh,

no, I'm in complete agreeance. I know he actually

had batarangs in Nolan's universe, but. They're

not on screen all the time. You don't see them.

It's just like, I don't know. I've never been

a fan of the. The bat theme the gadget so the

the less they have of that the more. It's just

a guy dressed up You know in a bat suit The better

the less the less childish it appears. I guess

in my mind. Yeah well, otherwise you're going

back to that campiness that the 60s show had

and that the later to 90s Batman films had well,

let's not I mean even to a certain to a certain

regard Tim Burton's Batman's had the Bat Gadgets

too with the remote control Batarang and let's

not forget that even though of all the previous

films, all the Batmobiles that I liked, I did

like the 89 Batmobile right up until they had

that Batmobile and Batman Returns and the Batmobile

just got stupid Yeah, where they split it into

a bat pod. Yeah, it was like it became the bat

pod and then like it had that lift in it It's

like that's not What are you doing? That doesn't

work. I know it was just dumb Yeah, so I mean,

but again, but all this stuff is like 20 years

ago And superhero movies have come a long way.

We're just discussing what we don't want to see

Now have you seen the Bryan Cranston rumor I

have and I've seen it all over the place some

places confirming that it actually was real and

then I've seen a couple other comic book sites

say that it's just a very strong rumor the I

saw the link that was was posted by our site

and It took me to a website that I've never heard

of and I've been waiting for that that information

to show up on sites that I that I quote -unquote

trust and I haven't seen it the only thing I've

heard is the the rumor of Bryan Cranston and

that the rumor is that it will be announced at

the closing after Breaking Bad has its series

finale like I haven't seen anything like hardcore

that he is in the movie But I would not be opposed

to him playing Lex Luthor No, and see for me

one of the other arguments. I was kind of having

on the site With With They was Jason Ritter.

Yeah He was basically stating that He would like

to have mark strong as Lex Luthor and Bryan Cranston

for Jim Gordon, which I can see that too Mostly

in the the Bryan Cranston playing Jim Gordon

because I think he'd make a really good Jim Gordon

But I also think he'd play really good Luther,

so I'm really I'm fine with him either way Whatever

way they choose to go if they use them at all

Well the argument against Mark strong for Luther

is that he was Destro not Destro. I'm sorry Sinestro

In the green yeah, so they so they probably won't

use him at all Just because of that in case they

decide to resurrect that because he did play

really good Sinestro But yeah Cranston is either

I mean I yeah, I can totally especially you know

Frank Miller's Jim Gordon I can totally see Sorry

Cranston playing that role, but at the same time

Gary Oldman also filled that role spectacularly

well, too. I'm not Obviously one they're not

gonna use Gary Oldman again. I'm just you know

saying that that both incarnations of Jim of

Jim Gordon were cast off of Frank Miller's Jim

Gordon Yeah Rosenbaum I'm I'm sorry Steve Rosenbaum

is not gonna do it I know I would love to see

that too man, but I think well I think he even

said that he'd be interested in doing it But

I don't think that they'll actually call him

out to do it Yeah, because they'll want that

older Lex Luthor, which if they wanted a little

bit younger of a Lex Luthor I think he'd be able

to pull it off, but if they're looking for that

older kind of more Gruff Luthor to kind of go

with the batman older Batman kind of thing then

but I don't even see I I guess it depends on

what this is gonna sound really weird, right?

I guess it really depends on what facial hair

Because Ben Affleck doesn't look that old I guess

this depends on how no rough bat looks like he

can look obviously from Argo He can look pretty

gruff. So it's kind of like what? What five o

'clock shadow is Ben Affleck gonna wear? To play

Batman, you know what I'm saying? Or how much

are they gonna do to his actual hair on his head?

Exactly So, you know again all that stuff is

up in the air But you know if you imagine if

you can do that to Ben Affleck, you can probably

do that to Michael Rosenbaum Oh, yeah, and I

honestly I think he'd play it well if they they

did it because I mean he has previous experience

doing it and it's not like it's but I wonder

You don't think the studio Worry that that would

send mixed signals that One Superman obviously

to us. They're not the same Superman, right?

But yeah there you don't think that they'd be

worried about that sending mixed signals to the

audience of smallville I don't think they'll

do it honestly just because of that because he's

in a previous continuity and previous Screen

iteration of it For the same reason that they

won't pull Gary Oldman back as Jim Gordon. Yes,

absolutely But even though he played it really

well So I mean I agree in that sense, but at

this point Anybody that watched smallville? Is

gonna watch this stuff anyway and pretty much

knows everything and then most of the people

that haven't watched smallville Don't even know

what he was associated with anyway, so right,

so I mean it's it's it's People that know that

show we're gonna know that it's different than

this one anyway Just because of the way that

they went about Superman and Clark Kent so right

But yeah, I'm Kind of an agreeance with that

and then again with the the Batman thing I'm

hoping they go new 52 route or something with

it, but yeah now I am I heard, you know, the

one thing that kind of remains unconfirmed with

this whole project is how involved Christopher

Nolan is going to be. I think he's done. I think

he's passed the torch on to like David Goyer

and whoever he works with. I'm pretty sure he

already did. So now, having said that, someone

brought up an interesting point that maybe Affleck,

because the town is supposedly good. I haven't

watched it yet and Argo was fantastic. Maybe

they're hoping that Affleck will anchor, will

be Christopher Nolan going forward. Kind of like

with that guiding hand and how things look or

feel and kind of reigning in Zack Snyder. Now,

I am one of those people that... I don't really

think Zack Snyder needs to be reined in all that

much. I like Zack Snyder's movies. But I can

see how having Affleck around on stage might

rub off on some things cinematically and help

things just from a director, from a guy that

directs movies standpoint, you know, just kind

of helping out. I'm interested to know if we'll

hear maybe if there if there's any like bad blood

between the two, like on set, like any set drama

and like if we might. Stuff like that might come

out of this. I think that'd be interesting to

hear But I don't know I think I Yes, I've come

to acceptance with it. I think you have too.

Yeah, I pretty much have at this point I'm I

I was like we stated last time it was kind of

initial shock It was more and we even stated

that then that it's initial shock that after

everybody's let it settle now on the other hand

I have seen and my mom actually sent me this

post earlier today there was a petition I don't

know if you've seen it I've heard about it okay

well there's this she sent me this link from

it was on Xfinity's page it says 80 ,000 fans

petition against Affleck as Batman And then it

says that their, you know, die -hard Batman fans

made it clear that they don't want him playing

it, so they signed a petition over at change

.org demanding that the Academy Award winner

be ousted from the Man of Steel sequel, you know,

said to feature the Dark Knight. And the guy

that started it is saying, you know, he's not

intimidating enough for the role of Batman and

he can't carry a movie on his own and is certainly

no superhero, which... Then he goes by saying

that, you know, I'm not saying anything against

Affleck and, you know, blah, blah, blah, but

he's sitting there bashing him and, you know,

it's like, yeah, I mean, his older stuff, I can

see where you could say that, but some of his

newer stuff, he definitely shows his range a

lot more and that he can play a down and dirty

character. So I think that, uh, Even from the

the various other people that have played Batman

like Adam West and Kilmer and everything have

you know and Matt Damon have all said You know,

it's kind of a you know, he'll play it. Well,

and it's they just have to give him a chance

Yeah, I mean like one of the interesting tweets

I saw about it, you know in the fallout from

this was let's judge you on something that you

did ten years ago Yeah, I mean it's That's I

mean I even know how the the judging ten years

ago thing works because I had my financial aid

kicked back at college because something I You

know screwed up my grades ten years ago, and

they're like oh, it doesn't matter you even if

even though you didn't have financial aid ten

years ago it's like we're gonna take it away

from you until you can prove otherwise and It's

like I was you know 10 years younger at that

time I was a dumbass it's like kind of you know

you do what you do at that time and then now

you're more mature and you know can handle things

so it's it's you know I I don't have any ill

will against Affleck I again say it was a shock

but I I could definitely see him playing Bruce

Wayne Batman at this point and honestly there's

nothing that the fans are gonna be able to do

to change Warner Brothers mind It's like Disney

when they kind of set a goal in mind they don't

give a shit what you have to say Yeah, I mean

and I don't want to get I don't like getting

political but 80 ,000 people signed a petition

to have an actor Changed from a movie Yet like

there's so much other crap that just gets swept

under the rug, you know, it's like what One of

the jokes was we get spied on, you know, they're

passing legislation that allows them to spy on

us and all our things are being tapped and all

this stuff and nobody says a thing. And then

all of a sudden, Affleck gets cast as Batman

and 80 ,000 people get mad about it. It's like.

How? It's a priorities thing. Maybe my priorities

in a different place. Like, yeah, I had the initial

fan reaction, but it wasn't like, oh, Affleck

is just I. He is out of the entire all the lists

that we saw. I don't think he was on too many

of the lists that we saw. But he he's better

than most of the names that were on those lists.

And there are. I know those lists were. Well,

those lists were just terrible. Yes. Compared

to what they actually chose. And I mean, I mean,

it's it's just. Some of them are so stupid, like

I've seen a lot of like the memes going around

like they took the the Batman and Robin movie

and then they kind of dubbed the you know Matt

Damon on Nightwing kind of thing and Ben Affleck

in there and then I've seen the duck one and

then there's one that they have of the Joker

can't find it at the moment but it's you know

They they he says something in there and then

he says and then they announce Affleck is Batman

and everybody loses their minds You know and

it's good. Yeah, he fled your Joker. Yeah, it

was the Syria the oh, yeah, that's a warfare

in Syria and no one says anything and they laugh

like it's and everyone yeah that that was That

was both both funny and sad and that's exactly

what I'm talking about here There are plenty

of other things for this kind of Energy could

be put towards I mean I understand getting angry

about it or being upset about it because we were

But once you step back from it and and this was

said last week we when you started reading your

Twitter feed about it I started reading mine

and slowly There were some rational tweets thrown

in there that kind of helps Kind of makes sense

of certain things in there. Well, and I did notice

that the day after We did all this Everybody

seemed to kind of mellow out and then all the

sites started coming up with like the top 10

reasons why Ben Affleck would be a good Batman

Yeah, and again, but that goes back to the news

for it having been announced 30 minutes before

we sat down to record which was when nobody like

ours was literally That was we had just heard

it we might as well been like, you know Hanging

out or something and someone sent us a text saying

affleck got it out, and we'd be like what and

we just happen to be able to record that exact

moment Yeah, so I mean it was it was definitely

initial thoughts Like I said, I don't have a

problem with affleck affleck to me is kind of

like the way I feel about Leonardo DiCaprio Where

I don't have a problem with his movies. I like

his movies. I like his acting. He's just not

the reason I go to a movie Yeah And I can't really

say that Christian Bale was the reason I went

to go see a movie prior to Batman. I went to

see Batman Begins because it was a Batman movie.

And I didn't have a problem with Christian Bale

playing him. And I think for me, my initial response

was just more me being angry that it wasn't Christian

Bale. I like what Nolan set up. Yeah, I can see

that. Yeah, I think we've dived down that rat

hole long enough. Well, it's just I could well

we talked about the suit We talked about our

casting we talked about the Bryan Cranston I'm

I am I want to say rumor. Are we okay? Just saying

Bryan Cranston room because there is oh, yeah

Yeah, there's nothing official and then there's

all another rumor that's floating around about

Matt Damon possibly playing Aquaman Well, apparently

Matt Damon signed on to do interstellar with

Christopher Nolan cuz everybody's Joining Christopher

Nolan's newest movie, so let's add Matt Damon

to it so yeah it Obviously that doesn't affect

him being Aquaman, but I don't see that happening

that would just be no fan casting so well It's

saying that he's rumored that he's being considered

for Aquaman or Martian Manhunter Yeah, and water

and Universal also wants him to come back and

do the Bourne movies Yeah, well, and he's more

considering the Bourne movies as long as green

grass comes back Exactly. Which, you know, I

mean, I guess kind of jumping into that, I guess

we can say some stuff about that. I did want

to move there off of your transition, but I just

wanted to because I don't know if we've said

this on a podcast yet, podcast form, or at least

so we can bundle this all together for our listeners

so they can comment on it. We skipped over who

we would like to see as the Joker. Oh, yes. I

think you and I are on the same page with we'd

like to see Rise Wakefield. the antagonist of

The Purge. Yes. Get it? He is so creepy playing

that character that I got Joker vibes just watching

him. I got those same feelings too and we had

a couple comments mainly from Dan from GeekCastRadio

movie revolt on Twitter so that he asked isn't

he too young uh to play the Joker against you

know Henry Cavill or Ben Affleck and I just I

commented back I said I think that would make

it all that much more creepy um of a character

to have a younger a younger guy um playing the

role um but he is a he is an unknown I don't

think I've seen anything that he's been in except

for the purge um so but that that that's my choice

I can't really, again, it kind of goes back to

the Batman thing. I can't, I really can't see

it until someone puts an idea in my head. Kind

of like how I jumped on the army hammer trip

after somebody mentioned him as being Batman.

You know, I just, I got to see, people need to

start compiling a list about who they want to

see the Joker. Yeah, let's do the, maybe even

have a You know an idea of who you would have

as your kind of DC dreamcast of certain Maybe

certain villains. I mean even from the bat family.

I mean Joker Riddler, you know any or even some

obscure ones that are Mainstays, but that haven't

had a proper portrayal in film I'd like to see

the Riddler get redone. I would too. I think

he has a lot of potential I I'm gonna say this

because I said it on the lunchroom and it caused

an argument with with TFG one mic But I'm just

gonna say it cuz I still have this opinion. You

know, cuz it's I would like to see Jim Carrey

get another shot at the Riddler. I I would I

I don't blame His portrayal of the Riddler on

I blame that on The studio the Joel Schumacher

the studio that the whole thing I think if you

put Jim Carrey in the DCA you Riddler suit with

the green suit the black shirt and the purple

tie and The bowler hat with the question mark

on it. I Think I Honestly think he could pull

it off because he's done more he can do the dramatic

creepy thing. I enjoyed his I Just enjoyed him

and kick -ass, too Obviously it won't happen.

I'm just saying that that's something that I

would like to see done. I would like to see him

get another shot. It won't happen. Just throwing

it out there for special purposes. Well, like

at the time, I think he would have made a better

Joker than he would have the Riddler back then.

Yes. That was more of a Joker kind of portrayal

than Riddler. I do think that he probably could

play it. I mean just looking at some of the creep

value of like the number 23 I was going to reference

that movie, but I haven't seen that movie personally

so I have it's it's pretty creepy and it's pretty

serious, but he plays it really well and it's

it's a complete mind screw and it seems like

something like it almost seems like kind of like

a Thriller kind of thing, but it's it seems like

it's all Riddles and numbers and stuff like that

so I can see him playing it What's interesting

about the number 23 and that being a dark over

trail, so the number 23 was also directed by

Joel Schumacher. Wow, that's blow your mind,

didn't it? That's crazy. Yeah, WB. If you if

you read some of that stuff, if you read like

certain interviews with certain people, it comes

down to they wanted to make toys. Yeah, so they

wanted to make it complete kid crap. Yep. um

and then you know it got spun into oh we're just

we're just going after a different era of Batman

and then it was whatever it's all crap but yeah

let us uh the DCCU uh is being rebuilt you know

you've got Henry Cavill playing Superman uh you've

got Ben Affleck as Batman are the only uh two

main characters we've got cast right now um Ben

Affleck is supposedly, this is another rumor,

signed to 13 appearances as Batman. Which they

just made, they did to him what I thought they

should have done to Christian Bale. Which was

just sign him to do cameos. You know, just have

him walk on and play Batman in a couple of movies

and then... It's the Tony Stark Marvel thing.

Yeah. So... Why don't you guys let us know who

you know, we just did the Wonder Woman thing

because we were talking about Batman and Wonder

Woman hasn't gotten a movie yet and a lot of

people feel that's a tragedy So why don't you

let us know who you'd like to see like play Aquaman

Hawkman Flash Wonder Woman again Let's let's

see if we can't cast this ourselves, let's do

like a geek cast radio fan alter geek fan DCC

you casting call Yeah, and then I can always

throw together like an image and having them

all kind of you know Superimpose the face or

something. Yeah, or or we can just do what the

normal websites do where it's like you got the

extra side Yeah, and and let's uh Let's do a

fan sourced a listener sourced list See if we

can come up with the most accurate and best -looking

list and see if see if Warner Brothers steals

it from us We can always hope Yeah, that would

be great. All right Let's put that aside. Yes

born. Do you want another born movie? I'm kind

of I'm kind of torn on that. I haven't seen The

oh my god, what's the most recent one the Jeremy

Renner one? Yeah born legacy. Yeah, that was

terrible. Is it? Yeah, it's on HBO go. I was

thinking about watching it I mean it's not even

his fault. I mean They were still trying to it's

like they were trying to tie it back into Jason

Bourne to some extent it doesn't it take place

at the same time as one of the other movies Yeah,

like the third man something I think so okay

But they they still have like a there is like

a picture of Jason Bourne in the movie that they

reference at one point. Then they're talking

about all these, you know, taking the blue pill

and taking this kind of pill, which, you know,

are supposed to be giving them certain physical

abilities that they shouldn't otherwise have.

The whole plot of it is, yeah, the whole plot

of it is, you know, that because of Jason Bourne,

the government wants to wipe out all these other

agents. Okay, like so all these other project

agents of Born like people they're they're trying

to wipe out and it's it's basically another you

know chasing born kind of fighting against the

government so Right. It seems like a lot of it's

rehashed and then a lot of it's kind of like

half -baked and they're trying to play off the

success of born to make it something and it's

not and now The rumor is that Universal might

want to bring Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner together

in a movie. Which they were leading towards that,

and I could have seen that, but there could have,

you know, if they were going to do that, they

should have put him at the end of the movie.

Yeah. Like a quick, you know, maybe a message

being sent or something dubbed in after the fact

or whatever. Right. But one of the things is,

is Damon doesn't want to do it unless Green grass

is the one that's directing. Yep Because he'd

like this portrayal and he liked the way that

it runs and and I have to agree I really enjoyed

those born films They were I remember I had an

issue with supremacy Because I think that may

have been the first time I Had seen a movie like

that where the action was as kinetic as it was

And I saw it in a theater And I sat too close

to the screen. I sat where I normally sit, but

for that movie that was too close to the screen

and I ended up getting like a headache halfway

through the movie because of the way that it

was shot. I did see it another time in the theater

and I sat farther back and did not get the headache.

Either way, headache or not, I still enjoyed

Supremacy and Ultimatum. I did enjoy The Bourne

Identity as well. I can use another one sure

why not universe is making seagulls all over

the place Yeah, I I'd go for another born as

long as they got Matt Damon back on board. Yes

That's the only way I'd want another one. Otherwise,

let it die All right, well Anything else you

want to say about a porn movie? No, I don't you

know. Okay. You got another story for us. Yes,

okay And I saw this earlier. I just thought it

was kind of interesting scientists say they found

a key to actual warp drive Did they find it in

the couch kitchens, I don't know they they said

that they have a new theory on space travel and

They're they're trying to draw it from Star Trek

obviously Being that that's where warp drives

from right, and it's not the not the glitter

drive from Into darkness. It's I hated that so

much. I did too. I was like, that's not what

it looks like They put the twinkle noise in there.

I know and it sounded like Where's Tinkerbell?

But I didn't should have clapped really hard

so that they could go faster But yeah, I mean

we've already got the technology of the mobile

phones and the tricorder and They're working

their way towards you know creating stuff from

nothing for replicators and certain kind of holodeck

type technology, but They're talking about creating

work bubbles So it's a more field yeah, and They're

saying basically a vessel shaped like a football

with huge huge rings around it those rings would

use some kind of matter that could, in theory,

cause space -time to contract in front of it

and then expand behind it. Antimatter with dilifium

crystals? I don't know how they would even do

this. I'm sorry. But it's, I mean, it sounds

so far -fetched, and I don't think that's anything

we'll ever see in our lifetime. I just, I love

that there are people working on this. Oh, I

love the fact that people are trying. I mean,

that's great. Personally, I'd rather see a transporter

at this point in time You know and Except for

the fact that you know, there'd be people getting

mutilated all the time because like that guy

pissed me off at work That's up the transporter

for him today. You know what? I remember when

I was a kid, you know back when Discovery showed

real television educational television They had

a show called Beyond 2000 Okay, I I could be

way wrong here. I'm not gonna go try and track

down the episode But I remember at the tail end

of one of their episodes they were talking about

transporters and they were talking about in a

building somewhere some guys had moved a nail

Like using a teleportation technology from like

one end of the building to the other They moved

a nail like an inanimate a small inanimate object.

I know This may not have been beyond 2000 I could

be completely out of my mind and I haven't heard

anything about it since Anywhere and it just

seems like if something that big had happened

like it would be like a bigger thing But like

I said, I haven't bothered to look into it so

i don't even know if it's true or if it was just

like or it could have been because of how old

i was i could have missed the uh this event is

dramatized for television or something like that

uh yeah but i i i don't quite know and i haven't

seen a beyond 2000 episode um recently because

discovery doesn't play those types of shows anymore

um but i vaguely remember something like that

but i don't know if it was that kind of show

where it was like fact based or if it was more

like just like these are hypothetical theories

that may never happen or something like that.

I don't remember if it was like a modern marvels

but for future stuff or if it was like future

stuff, completely science fiction stuff. But

yeah, I would like to see some form of teleportation

even if it's just the ability to fax inanimate

objects. That would be cool. So I know that they

did create invisible aluminum Like they didn't

start right for the voyage home they've managed

to make aluminum Invisible it's still solid,

but they've managed to do the molecules to the

point where they can make it Completely transparent.

I was gonna say isn't wouldn't invisible aluminum.

Just be clear aluminum I'm not saying it's not

a cool feat. I'm just like, I'm like, why would

you call it invisible? Why would you just call

it clear aluminum? Yeah, I mean it's like in

Star Trek for the Voyage home. Right, the aluminum

glass. Yeah, and it's super strong or whatever.

But anyways, they managed to do it for I think

10 seconds before it disintegrated. They never

did it again. I was like... Don't know. I don't

even know how they deconstructed. It was like

somewhere over in like Germany or something like

that I was like still cool Yeah, let's build

invisible walls so people you have to get drunk

to make invisible invisible aluminum That would

be funny another question. Did it ever exist

in the first place I? Saw it on a lot of different

sites. I mean it wasn't It wasn't on just general

geek sites. It was on I think I saw it on some

other stuff But then I never heard from it again.

It was around the time of the hadron collider

and all that stuff, so But yeah the I'd like

to see like a holodeck type technology transporter.

I mean warp drive would be cool, but I Really

don't see that the holodeck stuff. Have you heard

of this um? oculus rift The this new virtual

reality put the goggles on No, no, it's it's

it's new it started out as a Kickstarter project.

It's called oculus rift They just they just came

out with the oculus rift HD which puts two 1080p

screens in front of your eyes I really want to

play with one so far certain developers have

passed it into like Wolfenstein do oh wow I think

Half -Life has a mod for it and games and like

first -person shooters and it's the VR headset

that we all wanted in the 90s. Oh yeah. Where

you turn your head and that's how you move the

camera for the game by turning your head. Now

there are no accompanying gloves where your hands

show up in front of you. You still use a mouse

and keyboard or a controller. to interact with

the world, but the camera is controlled by you

actually moving your head. That's cool. It's

kind of neat. With the next gen consoles coming,

people have asked if they will have support for

Oculus Rift at some point. All that, I don't

know if Microsoft has said anything, all that

Sony has said is that they have Oculus Rift dev

kits. so while right now it's a PC only thing

and it's not even out for the public yet but

right now it's a PC only thing but it could eventually

come to consoles I'm interested to see how much

it costs because I just I don't know I think

it'd be really interesting to try something like

that out considering I've never had an experience

like that beyond you know the virtual boy but

who remembers the virtual boy yeah I barely remember

that so um But yeah, that goes back to the holodeck

thing. You start there, I guess. And I guess

there was another company that started a side,

it's not by the Oculus guys, but they started

another thing that kind of goes along with the

Oculus Rift. It's kind of like a 360 degree treadmill.

and it works with the oculus rift so you stand

in the middle of this thing and you just start

walking wearing the oculus rift and your steps

translate into movement in the game and but you

never and you never move in the real world you're

just in like it's kind of like you're walking

in a like the bottom half like imagine like a

300 and like the like a gerbil like a hamster

wheel right you're walking in something like

that but it's not like a full wheel it's you're

like in a bowl Yeah, and so you can like turn

around and like walk to the side and you know

when you turn your head the camera turns and

like there's there's a an accompanying project

to the oculus rift like you put those two things

together you kind of get Yeah Kind of get a holodeck

out of it kind of kind of okay like the baby

steps baby steps at least we're going they're

going in that direction as I guess is what I'm

I'm saying we're not getting like entire rooms

of it yet, but you know they're going in that

direction So all right next story Well besides

that There's kind of have you seen the the thing

of It's a chick from Battlestar Galactica or

whatever it was then that she wants to play Harley

Quinn if it ever makes into a live -action film

Okay, Battlestar Galactica, the only one I know

of - There's a Katie Sakoff, or whatever I think

that - Isn't she like - I don't - Okay. This

is gonna sound really bad, but she looks - If

it's not the person I'm thinking of, she looks

really masculine. Like, uh, let's see here. Um...

I - If - Is she - I think she's the one that's

in Riddick. Yes. I - I don't know. Yeah, she's

in - I haven't seen - Yeah, she's in the new

Riddick movie. I couldn't. Oh, yeah, she is.

I mean, I kind of see that, but not really. I

don't know. Like, it depends on certain images,

like certain ones, she looks too doodly and then

other ones she doesn't. I don't know, obviously.

Revisited if she's ever cast. I'm just not seeing

it right now. I know I made a joke with movie

revolt about I don't know if I really want to

say this on here, but Miley Cyrus getting the

Harley Quinn role just cuz just cuz she's crazy

just on the on the grounds that she's crazy That's

it. Not because I think she'd actually be good

at, but just on the grounds that she's crazy.

And then Dan brought up the fact that, you know,

it could happen a couple years from now and they

turn it into a musical. Oh, destroy it. Destroy

it. So anyways, yeah, enough about that. Yeah.

Oh, man. Oh, did you know that it's 20 years

of since the Power Rangers originally debuted

I Okay, I was not a Power Rangers guy but My

sister's boyfriend has been watching Power Rangers

Ryan Cox on Twitter has been talking about Power

Rangers. You guys have been talking about Power

Rangers I remember enjoying the white and the

green ranger. Yep I've been Toying with the idea

of watching it because I never I never watched

it religiously as a kid Like this just wasn't

my I think I was one of those people that was

just like it's Voltron and Never bothered with

it. I mean, I like I like the toy I get that

I get that it's not I don't need to be jumped

on about it, you know how they're different I

did like playing with the toys because the neighbors

of the street had all the toys like I did like

playing with all that stuff and But I did yeah,

so I did know Because I was informed by you know

followers geek has radio. I did not personally

know that cuz I'm not a fan Yeah, I only knew

that because Mike's been posting it all over

today And I've seen it all over all the Power

Rangers stuff um my My experience with Power

Rangers is I watched it kind of off and on through

the Mighty Morphin era, which is the original?

Partially through zeo and then I was like yeah

the hell with this I'm done and Just recently

because of the from the command center podcast

also on GeekCastRadio .com They kind of go episode

by episode covering one whole series every time

like the cast and name changes of the show. It

really started changing names every season when

Disney owned it for a little bit. Well, they're

all based off of the Japanese Super Sentai stuff,

which I knew too. The to me the only characters

I really found interesting and that I liked Were

I have to agree as well the green and white Ranger,

which that's Jason David Frank played Tommy in

the show Which he also played the Red Ranger

in Zio and then played the Red Ranger in the

first like five or six episodes of turbo before

they Passed the torch talk about Was it was it

that wouldn't be a promotion was the opposite

promotion demotion talk about demotion technique

technically was a promotion only for the fact

that or it's kind of sliding over because they

lost a ranger after that they went down to five

and then They ended up bringing back the original

red ranger in zeo is like the gold ranger temporarily

that was kind of it was kind of weird, but uh

there's also a pretty cool episode in there that's

uh called forever red and it has every red ranger

my uh again sister's boyfriend told me about

that episode it's pretty good they have tommy

again in that and uh he brings all the current

red rangers to that point in the series including

the original and he's the zeo red so that's why

he's there and uh they fight serpent terror and

you've got Rejects from Big Bad Beetle Borgs

and some other Subban shows and But anyways,

yeah, and then Tommy went came back and like

Dino Thunder as the Black Ranger and that another

demotion Yes, and no I I say that just because

the green and white Ranger existed like outside

my limited knowledge to me the green and white

ranger existed outside of the traditional color

scale and for him to be a color that's in the

color scale like just seems to be like a demotion

to me yeah but um now that it's 20 years though

they're having in uh mega force which um mega

force is interesting only in the fact that kind

of goes and copies it tries to reproduce with

a new era touch of the original Mighty Morphin

show okay so like a lot of the stuff like they

have a Zordon like character in it they have

a you know the Morphers are similar they have

it seems like they're trying to too closely copy

the Mighty Morphin in it and not do their own

thing yeah But I know there's an episode coming

up when they go Super Megaforce, which is the

second season or something like that, when it

starts back up. It's like a giant ranger battle.

You have every era of Power Ranger fighting against

this one evil and they're having Tommy come back

as the Green Ranger in it. and he's like the

lead ranger of the entire group and then I guess

later he I guess in that same saga I guess he

becomes the white ranger again for whatever reason

so there's like well there's like him and both

I mean they've already you know like they're

the Adam that played the black ranger and Mighty

Morphin for a little bit there he was in numerous

series and came back off and on in that suit

so why not But yeah, they're they're talking

about making a Green Ranger movie Like on its

own like Saban and the guy that played the Green

Ranger How many movies have there been one to

do to? One was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the

movie, which is really good just because it had

the white ranger And then they had turbo a Power

Rangers movie, which is like in between CEO and

turbo But that wasn't theatrical was it? Okay,

I remember liking the Power Rangers the movie

because the the Zords weren't You know Props

they were computer -generated For the most part

weren't they? Yeah, a lot of it was computer

-generated and they actually upgraded all the

suits they were more like body armor instead

of spandex. Yeah was that That was after they

got new animals, right? No, I think that was

before because technically the series technically

that movie stands outside of continuity, but

it technically it doesn't They they kind of they

they had them do ninja or in the TV show whereas

they had to go to some other planet in this It's

it's technically out of continuity, but it technically

explains the same crap But all of the stuff in

that film they had to create from scratch because

they didn't have access to the original Japanese

suits I I did like everything about that. I like

the way the suits look I like the the zords I

and I I tried watching it on Netflix like a year

ago or so and I just It wasn't doing it didn't

do the same thing for me that it did You know

a long time ago. I I'm one of those weird people.

I don't have nostalgia for a lot of things One

of those geeks that I am like nostalgia less

like I'm not I mean I played with the turtles

I played with transformers he man Thundercats

all that stuff and I'm not I have no You know

all that stuff is getting turned around and like

remade rebooted for like now and I'm just like

I Have no nostalgia like anger over stuff being

rebooted now. Maybe it's just because I would

like to see that stuff now Like that could be

like I'm just happy to see it back and And like

in them in in them in the mainstream Then I am

for it to be like a closet thing of that very

few people know about and have it be Dead, you

know what I'm saying? Like I I had a lot of fun

Going out and buying like I have the four Ninja

Turtles that Nickelodeon released for their new

show And I bought them because of the way that

they I liked the way that the figurines looked.

And I never would have done that. I wouldn't

have been able to do that. I wouldn't I I don't

have my original Ninja Turtles from when I was

a kid. But I love Ninja Turtles. I wouldn't be

able to have these awesome new figures if that

show wasn't being remade for a new generation.

Yeah. You know, like I feel like I feel like

with all this stuff being remade and stuff, it's

like it's it's it's. Kind of like I get to now

that I'm an adult and I have disposable income

to a certain degree I feel like all this stuff

coming back around now gives me a second chance

to collect and cherish the stuff that I either

destroyed as a child or Was sold at a garage

sale for something else. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, so just I don't I don't have that I don't

get like I didn't get I'm not angry about the

way that Michael Bay What he did to transformers

because at the end of the day Transformers is

a lot about the toys and the toy that where they're

really good I don't think the toys were as bad

as the movie I mean from the collection that

my friend has of like the different transformers

figures some of them are pretty damn cool now

Yeah, some of them and it's and it's it's like

you wouldn't get that if You know what I'm saying

like you would yeah, you wouldn't get it if they

didn't remake this stuff For better or as bad

as the movies may or may not be in certain people's

opinions I just feel like you wouldn't you wouldn't

get that and It's just it's just nice I mean,

I like that stuff when I was a kid and you know

something like I liked it as a kid I'll watch

it now. I like thundercats. I like the remake

of thundercats. I didn't like the whiskers Shucks

no just Yeah, so personally I would like to see

a remake of dino riders They need to bring that

back, you know dino riders is right, please say

you do I'm gonna feel really old. I Got to look

it up. I just to verify know what I'm thinking

of there's there's like a whole series like dino

riders. There's sky commanders. There's our sky

commandos Santurians I would love if Centurions

came back. I remember Centurions. I had all of

those. I had the mom that absolutely loved me

and would camp out at Toys R Us waiting for shipments

to come in. And she actually worked at Toys R

Us so she would go through all the boxes and

pull all the stuff aside to purchase and bring

home for me. So I was the firstborn spoiled ass

son. that everyone knows about. Nice. And it

would be nice to have like I liked my Silverhawks

action figures when I was a kid. It'd be awesome

if they brought those things back, you know,

even if even if it was even if the show was stupid.

If it brought. Kind of like Thunder Kits. Yeah,

but if it gave me like the collect something

to collect, you know, like because I don't have

that stuff anymore and I'm not willing to pay

the collector's fee for the five figures from

Silverhawks. But did you find it? Did you find

Dino Riders? Yeah, I found it. I'm not familiar

with that. Okay. I thought it was a different

show. Yeah. Well, when I was a kid, I had all

the figures for it because it was a toy line.

But what I didn't know at the time is that the

cartoon was only 13 episodes long and was designed

towards selling the toys. Nice. And they were

made by Tycho, so you'd get a cassette. and it

would have two episodes on it and in the middle

of it, there would be a commercial for the toys.

Sure. So I never watched it all. Yeah, whatever.

I'm nostalgia tripping right now, but I don't

have the nostalgia bone that. A lot of geeks

seem to do or that that, you know, some of the

other hosts on Geekcast radio seem to have for

stuff. I mean, I like that stuff when I was a

kid, but it doesn't it doesn't resonate with

me now and I find it really hard to watch. Some

of that stuff. Maybe that's something we can

talk about on a future on a future show like

what? on a future show like what series did you

really enjoy as a kid, but Now you really can't

You know, it's it's not that it's not as good

as you thought it was when you were a kid, you

know I'm saying it's one of those ones that you

you pass out when you watch it now because you

think that You thought it was good. But yeah,

you realize you realize how dumb you were as

a child Yeah So, maybe we could talk about that

on a future episode. Yeah, I thought you were

talking Dino Saucers, that's what. Oh, I remember

that show, too. That show was good. That's the

one where they were anthropomorphized, right?

And they had the suit. Yep. Yep. Okay. I guess

that's another question we can ask the listeners.

If they've got any shows or stuff that they used

nostalgia to trip very hard for when they were

a kid, but now they can't stand it, why don't

you share some of that? I mean... One of the

nice things about doing this show is that we

can kind of talk about this stuff and then ask

a question. And then if we get feedback on it,

then we can talk about it some more. Yeah. So

it makes it nice. Because it's something you

guys want to hear. You're telling us what you

want to, excuse me, hear about. Like myself,

there's numerous shows I can't really watch anymore.

Like the original G .I. Joe, I really like it.

But something about it just kind of I'm like,

yeah, this is kind of 80s it's good and then

and then same thing with transformers generation

one I Can watch it within reason there's certain

episodes, but pretty much all I I watch it for

anymore is just the 86 movie Because the rest

of it puts me to sleep Yeah, I mean I I didn't

want to get I didn't want to go down that road

in this episode, so we'll just leave that at

that. If people want us to talk about this, then

we can... I agree with you about Transformers,

and I agree with you about G .I. Joe. However,

G .I. Joe, I can watch the movie with Serpentor?

Yeah, where Cobra Commander gets turned into

a snake. Yes, I like that. I like that because

I like the character of Serpentor. I like Cobra

Commander. I'm sad he gets turned into a snake.

But that one's that that movie is weird because

there's like aliens and yeah They said that that

was like blasphemy to the GI Joe universe And

that's also why a Duke didn't die at the end

is because they're like oh shit. We screwed up

with Optimus Prime. Let's fix it. Um, well, I

said a coma but like Transformers I You know,

I tried cuz everyone was in a tizzy about the

movies you know all the hardcore fans internet

exploded oh it's crap it's this that i like the

first transformers i i don't like the second

one i think yeah sure devastator is that the

right is that it yeah the one with robo balls

yeah okay that was dumb i i will hands down admit

that was dumb the two in the rail gun the rail

gun was cool No, I'm saying the rail gun. He

just all of a sudden calls in this rail gun to

take down the transformer. He says, I'm right

below it. Screwed him. Yes. Okay. Yeah. The whole

scene is dumb, especially given the character

that they were framing up in there. Right. But

for me, the most annoying part of that movie

is the twins. Yeah. I think that there needs

to be a collector's edition of that movie where

the twins are voiced by Martin Lawrence and Will

Smith. Bad boys. Yes, I and I I used I really

think that if had been those two guys Nobody

would have cared because it would have been like

a mini bad boys reunion In the movie see I could

have dealt with that I honestly could have I

I liked Transformers 3 A lot and one of the weird

things about one and three that's not All that

apparent in 2 is the sense of history, right?

Like the Transformers have been here before,

and this is how they were hidden, or that's in

1 and 3, but it's not in 2. Well, 2, they did

say that they were there before, like the Fallen.

Yes, but it's not as it was the the other primes

But they were locked inside a tomb holding the

matrix and it was a long time ago Like it's not

as like like the first one the Hoover Dam was

built to hide the cube, right? Yeah, like the

alternate history the reason we went to the moon

was because one of the transformer ships crashed

on the moon like when the in the second one it's

just they were here before and They yeah, there

was no rhyme or reason. Yeah, I That stuff, I

was so... Whatever. That's a couple reasons why

I don't like the second one. However, long story

short, because of the outrage that I sensed around

the internets and stuff like that and among friends,

I decided, hey, I'm gonna see what's up with

this. Because I remember Transformers as a kid,

and I don't... And I was like, I liked Transformers

as a kid, I liked the toys and stuff, I enjoyed

the movies. Maybe I should revisit it to see

what people are talking about. You can hate me

for this. All you want listeners and you too,

Steve. I don't I don't. The source material for

these movies is as bad as the as bad as the movie,

like I understand there's a following and that

there's a coherent story, but it's so like it's

so. There isn't anything there like it's it's

it's it's robots fighting over energy cubes.

at the end of the day, there's not a whole lot

to build on, in my opinion. And I say this having

not seen the whole run, the most, so any Transformers

show I've watched is Beast Wars, which I do like,

and Transformers Prime, which I also like. But

there's just not a whole lot there to make, you

know, an amazing movie out of. Yeah, I kind of

agree. I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to diminish

anyone's feelings about their property like my

opinions if you really like Transformers my opinion

should have no bearing on how much you like Transformers

because they're my it's it's my opinion in mine

alone, but It's just I don't know. I can't I

I did however Because one of my favorite cartoons

is Avatar the last Airbender I did understand

the fan rage when I went and saw M. Night Shyamalan's

The Last Hairbender. All of a sudden I understood

how Transformers fans felt. The only difference

being is that the source material that M. Night

Shyamalan had to work with is a lot deeper than

the source material Michael Bay had to deal with.

Yeah. And it's just, but again, my opinion, you

know, you can get mad at me if you want. I'm

not going to care if you get mad at me, but my

opinion of something should not change your listeners

feelings for how they feel about certain things.

But no. Let us know, is there a series that you

liked as a kid that if you watch it now that

you fall asleep to or you just can't stand or

you don't even know why you liked it as a kid?

Let us know, because this is a topic that we

can actually talk about some more that's not

Batman related. Yeah. So I guess we should talk

about you know to kind of keep it light just

before we ended The the favorite snack question

that we asked awesome. I was just going to go

there To close this out. Yes last week. We asked

what your favorite junk food or snack food was

regardless of you know those for movies or whatnot

Don't did we get I if we did I didn't bookmark

it. Did we get anything from Ryan? I Know I know

he got it might have gotten buried under all

the Batman talk on Twitter. It's possible. It

got buried however Jason Ritter on the website

told us that one of his favorite his favorite

snack is Cheez -Its I do like cheese. It's I

I think it's cheese nips that are the knockoff

Yeah, I'm not I'm not big on the cheese nips,

but I do like the cheese. It's TFG one Mike co

-founder of deep cast radio Says that he used

to like Pringles until they changed the recipe

Ever since 2000 they taste very different Than

what he remembers in the early 90s And that he

loves Lay's stacks now. I do like um First of

all, i'm a big potato chip guy Yep, I love potato

chips Um, I I like to think i'm a potato chip

kind of sewer um that said I Maybe the transition

for pringles to me because I didn't eat them

regularly They've always kind of been the same

to me i'm not saying that they didn't change

the recipe or whatever, but they've always had

a this They've always kind of been the same.

Similar taste. Yes. The Stacks, I do like but

I prefer the Pringles over the Stacks just because

they're Pringles. He also goes on to say that

he likes the Ben and Jerry pint ice cream. The

Everything Butt and Strawberry Cheesecake flavors.

I do like Ben and Jerry's. I have a pint of ice

cream sitting in my freezer that I bought like

three weeks ago to eat that I haven't even touched.

Nice. And let's see, he also likes Cheez -Its

and the white chocolate Reese's cups. I don't

know if I've had the white chocolate, but I do

like Reese's peanut butter. Does anyone know,

do you know if the Reese's peanut butter that

you can buy like in a jar for like sandwiches

actually tastes like Reese's peanut butter? Because

that just seems like it'd be death. I don't know.

I could probably ask my wife. I... I'm sure I'm

gonna get crap for this. I don't like peanut

butter. No. What? At all. No. The smell of it

drives me nuts. I love... Okay, crunchy peanut

butter? I don't like crunchy peanut butter. Creamy

peanut butter? I love creamy peanut butter. I

love putting peanut butter on just bread and

folding it over in half. Like a little like,

you know, peanut butter filled bread. Treat I

love peanut butter. I just I've never and I'm

a big fan of Jif. I like Jif peanut butter I

don't know that I've gone ever really gone too

far outside of the Jif stuff. I've never done

the Mixed the peanut butter and the jelly smuckers

where it's already pre -mixed My wife said that's

pretty bad. Is it okay? Yeah, I do however like

the smuckers pre -made peanut butter and jelly

sandwiches the uncrustables I do like those,

although that's not really a snack food. That's

more like, you know, the lunch food, but I eat

it as a snack. Now, if any of the listeners know,

is the Reese's peanut butter that you get in

the jar for sandwiches, is it the same as like

Reese's peanut butter cup peanut butter? Because

like I know people that like to eat peanut butter

on a spoon. So that just seems like it would

be like death. I don't know that I could stop

eating a jar Reese's peanut butter if it tasted

like the peanut butter. from the from the candy

so Sean Alteria Yep says that he likes goldfish

who doesn't like goldfish I Don't know I everybody

likes those now. I have it. I like the the the

regular cheese goldfish The classic yes the classic

ones. I'm not big on like the parmesan. I might

do like a bag of the pretzel ones every now and

then but it's weird goldfish never seem to last

that long like there's always like a lot in a

bag but then the bag is usually gone really quickly

for me anyways i just i love them it's like eating

cheez -its they just disappear yeah they do it's

crazy i mean to make longer lasting cheez -its

and goldfish yeah the everlasting um And then

you got one more from Plato's Lament saying that

his favorite snack is Pringles just because they're

easy to eat and less of a mess than a bag of

chips and there's many many flavors. Yeah a lot

of crazy flavors although then again there are

chicken and waffle lays so I think lays may have

taken the throne back from Pringles. That's possible.

Chicken and waffles. What kind of flavoring is

that? I don't know. Then there's like sriracha

flavored Lays? No, they should just have dirt

flavored. And then there's like they have garlic

cheese bread flavored Lays. It's just... Like

I said, I'm a chip connoisseur, right? So I tried

out the garlic cheese once. Not good. No, not

good at all. I guess they did this thing where

it's like they had people vote in with like a

recipe they'd like to see. And those were the

three that won and I'm like these are gross like

whoever Why these one whoever thought these words

should be the winners needs to be fired So, okay,

and we hit we have one other person Connor Murphy

Didn't I start? Oh, maybe I don't know. Oh, yeah

combos. Yes combos yeah i i do like combos too

i like the pretzel the the pretzel and cheese

um not a big fan of the cracker combos yeah i

like the regular ones i do like cheese i'm not

big on the on the pizza so much as i am the cheese

flavored ones um and yeah they they do have a

funky smell to them you can definitely smell

them i i myself i like uh for my Junk food snack

drink. I like coca -cola and then for My junk

food snacks I Like any of those chips that end

in O's like Doritos Fritos Cheetos okay chose

Pringles and then lays those are pretty much

mine other than that if you jump into ice cream.

I don't care about the brand I just like cookies

and cream Well, I like I said Chip connoisseur

here. I But I always I come back to lays too

I like my my my I've got two favorites right

now. One is a classic. It's the sour cream and

onion lays Love those chips however Haven't been

able to find them too many places outside of

Kroger and they have them in the natural food

section It's the Lay's natural chips. They're

like the simply simply Lay's they're Like okay,

so like the normal ingredients label for um I'm

sorry Wow just lost my train the normal ingredient

label for like a regular bag of Lay's chips,

right? Has like 20 different ingredients on it,

right? You're not you're not just getting chips

Um, the the simply lays bag has three ingredients

on it Like sea salt. Yeah sea salt expeller expressed

seed oil Sunflower oil and potatoes. That's it.

They're thick cut sea salt potato chips simply

lays. They're Amazing. They've got like the perfect

crunch to them. I just I get a I get a bag of

them every Tuesday and Saturday when I go to

work And I eat the entire bag Now, that sounds

pretty bad to a lot of people, but I'm at work

for 15 hours and 17 hours, respectively. So it's

not like I'm demolishing a bag in two hours.

No, I'm demolishing a bag over... I don't know.

I really like those. I do like my ice cream.

Not that often, though. I like ice cream with

peanut butter in it. If I get a McFlurry, I get

the Reese's McFlurry. Nice. drink -wise I like

I like Coke Zero and I like Diet Code Red Mountain

Dew those are my my two favorites so um all right

Next week's episode episode 6 is going to be

But it's gonna be recorded Well right after we

finish this episode we're gonna well the next

day. Yeah, so Episode six if we don't respond

to your feedback for that episode. It's not because

we're ignoring you It's because it was recorded

a week early so that Steve could go on vacation.

Yes so and then we'll cover all of it between

the two episodes on the following episode episode

7 Where hopefully we'll have a lot of comments

to recap However as a teaser for episode 6 We

had an excellent question come in from Plato's

lament on the on the geek cast website he says

You both appeared to be two things married and

geeks for someone who is about to take that plunge.

How do you manage those two things? Being a geek

can take some time. You have comics to read,

video games to play, movies to watch, etc. Not

to mention the cost to all that. How do you all

manage that? And you know, not anger your wives

all the time. We will answer that on episode

six. If you guys want to comment in the comment

section or, you know, all the myriad of ways

that Steve just said to get a hold of us for

episode five about how you, if you're married,

how you deal with how you wrangle in your wives

or, you know, if you're not married, your girlfriend,

because girlfriends can be just as non -compliant

with geekdom as wives can. Let us know. We'll

share your thoughts with ours on the next episode,

episode six, and we will have a more current

episode with episode seven. Ha! Star Trek. Star

Trek. Ah! Star Wars. Okay, I'm done.
