respecting the memories of people that died on

9 -11 by me saying, I just want to see an airplane

that crashed into the Pentagon. Show me a picture

of an airplane crash into it, because I don't

know what hit it. I'm not saying one thing hit

it or the other thing hit it. I'm just saying,

I don't know what the hell hit it. And I just

would like, I said, on this, the 10 year anniversary

of 9 -11, wouldn't it be nice if the Pentagon

showed us an actual airplane, an actual airplane

hitting the Pentagon? I was watching before we

go online here now. I turned on the History Channel

because I watch the History Channel every now

and then now because it's not just the same boring

crap all over again. They've kind of gone the

way of, oh, here's historical reality shows like

American Pickers and Pawn Stars and all this

and all that. Well, with yesterday now at this

point being September 11th, they were showing

like first -hand footage or whatever it was like

the day it happened and I'm thinking like I know

the police in the fire department and all that

had a shit ton to worry about not you know nitpicking

after people with cameras and stuff but I'm thinking

wow how much footage of the of the towers did

people actually get when it happened because

I mean there's footage of everything Well, with

the exception of the very first plane hitting.

Yeah. I mean, which is as it should be. I mean,

there's only one bit of footage of the very first.

And that was just by pure luck, because nobody

knew that that was going to happen. So obviously,

nobody has their cameras pointed up at the building.

The second one, yeah, everybody and their mother

had their cameras on. Yeah. And that ain't necessarily

for that. They had their cameras on because they

were trying to record the one building burning

and on fire. And it just so happened that that's

when the second plane crashed. Yeah. I, um...

I just... What I find really, really strange

about that day and even before this... I'll be

careful. No, no, no. This isn't conspiracy stuff.

No, I'm just saying. This would be good for the

show. Well, I am recording this, but anyway.

What I find... Anyhow, continue please. What

I find really, really strange as I'm watching

this footage, this special that History Channel

is showing, is that... That day... Yes, there

wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was a beautiful

day I remember that very beautiful day. Yeah,

and after the planes hit The only cloud you saw

obviously was the smoke the smoke and the cloud

and the dust and everything else from when the

planes hit the hit the towers and i'm like oh

my god and i'm just looking at this because like

i said i'm watching the special tonight and i'm

looking at this thing and i'm like wow that's

really creepy that that day it was a beautiful

day there was no clouds in the sky no nothing

it was a clear bright blue sky day and all of

a sudden this tragedy happens and it's like holy

shit i mean since since oh by the way guys thanks

for tuning in to the team bottom this variety

hour i was gonna put that as an outtake we're

not starting just yet i can edit it to where

i can have it as an outtake oh well so no no

it's terrible you know it's it's just interesting

you know and i i don't want to get into the conspiracy

theory aspect of things no no and and i never

do i I accept it for what happened. I don't care

about the conspiracy stuff whatsoever. You know,

you were mentioning earlier on your Ustream,

of course people won't know about that, but anyway,

you know, you mentioned you don't understand

about the 10 -year anniversary, the 9 -year anniversary,

you don't understand. It's not, I don't know

if it's not that you don't understand it, it's

you just don't get why it's so important on the

10 -year versus the 9 -year or whatever else.

Yeah, that's really what it is. Think of it as

I know this is gonna be bad Think of it as a

high school reunion and I know I know that sounds

horrible, but you know pretty bad You know a

ten -year, you know high school reunion You know

comes around once every ten years and you can

you know, you know, it's gonna have this This

is something that gets celebrated. I guess the

best way I could draw an analogy It's like, it's

like somebody having a very special party for

their 10th birthday. Yeah. It's something that

happens every single year and it, you know, but

when it comes down to it, there shouldn't be

any more importance to your 10th birthday as

opposed to your 11th birthday or the 10th anniversary

of the attacks or the... ninth or the eleventh

or whatever I mean that's true but my my point

of the analogy of the high school reunion is

that it's a significant number even though it

shouldn't matter what number it is 10 you know

10 I think they even did a five -year all they

probably did anniversary thing but like 10 year

20 year 25 30 look at it and I know again this

is gonna be bad look at it in transformers fandom

you know way. It's, you know, I'm just saying

like the like the 15th anniversary of Beast Wars,

the 30th anniversary of the, you know, it's that

same type of significant numbering. It's kind

of anyway. All right. So let's yeah, let's just

cut. Don't print delete. All right, when we start

this, I'll just say something about this is the

GeekCast Radio Network that is presenting the,

or I'll say this is the GeekCast Radio Network

presenting and then you can just go on to the

team bottomless variety hour or whatever. Sure.

All right, composure. Of course, it doesn't help

that I have a picture of the towers from seeing

them in trading places as my desktop, but...

You know, we might as well talk about it. I mean,

it's a variety hour. We can talk about a whole

bunch of different things. Yeah. All right. Hello

and welcome to the GeekCaster Radio Network presenting...

The Team Boninus. I forgot what I was going to

say. Take two. Team but the team bottomless variety

hour. Yes. I remembered after you stop me Take

to take to hold on god damn it. I was all composed

that now I'm sitting here giggling like a schoolboy.

Holy fuck Shut up, it's gonna take me longer

to compose myself The GeekCast Radio Network

presents... The Team Botamus Variety Hour! Yes,

that's right. He is your host, Optobotamus, the

world -renowned YouTube reviewer. Oh, you, sir,

are far too kind. And I am TFG and Mike from

the GeekCast Radio Network. I'm just a lowly

midget muppet in his shadow. That's not true,

Mike. Right. How are you doing? I don't have

28 ,000 subscribers. I don't have over a million

page channel views, whatever. Anyway. That's

true. Shut up. You can't have everything that

other people have. Just, you know, make do with

what you got. And it's not the size of the boat.

It's the motion of the ocean. Oh my God. Yeah,

I went there. Yeah, I did it. This is variety.

We talk about a variety of things. Yes. And how

this started was Paul and I had been on a phone

call a couple weeks ago. We were talking about

some personal things at first, and then you had

started looking stuff up on the internet, and

you started looking at hot toys. Yeah. Those

really, really awesome but super fucking expensive

toys. Yeah. Oh, man. And you were looking at

the Batman ones and then we got into a whole

discussion on Between I think it was a tie between

Batman 89 Terminator 1 & 2 and Ghostbusters 1

& 2. Oh, yeah, we just kind of yeah fandom tangents

that spanned many generations of movie viewing

Yes. Yes, that's right. And so basically, you

know, I think it was it you that said it or was

it I that said it? I don't remember. One of us

said, hey, we should record these. I think we

kind of I think at that point in time, we both

had gotten the idea and that it would. I mean,

this is solely your thing. I mean, I'm just here

doing, you know, I'm just the technical thing.

I mean, yes, this is a discussion between the

two of us, but. Even though GCRN is kind of sponsoring

it, this is solely your team bottomless thing

to do here. This is something for me to be completely

random, but just have a fun time with it. Because

my mind will literally go off on wild tandems.

I mean, I could be sitting here talking about

light bulbs one minute, and then talking about

peppermint candy the next minute. And you don't

know why. There's no reason for it. This is the

way my brain operates, and it's sometimes scary.

It's sometimes scary, but usually it's pretty

fun. And when I had more alcohol put into my

system, it usually gets a little bit more fun.

Yeah. As I'm drinking a Bud Light right now.

Oh, you ran out of the black stuff, huh? Um,

actually, let me look in the optibotifridge.

I have... one of each of the Newfie beers. Many

Team Bonimus members will know that I have a

Ustream that I do, usually on the weekends, on

Saturdays now. And a gentleman by the name of

Calvin sent me, he comes from Newfoundland, Canada,

and sent me a whole bunch of different things.

First of all, it was a whole bunch of candy.

But then he's like, I'm gonna send you some Newfie

beer. So he sent me two different kinds of beer.

that I have two left and I'm very disappointed

because then I have to go to the regular American

stuff. So basically what you're saying is once

you go Canadian you can't go back. Well, you

know, it's kind of. Growing up in Michigan, I've

told this story many times before so some people

probably know it, but I was literally like...

And I actually think I told this story earlier

today on my new stream that I was like literally

five minutes from the Canadian border. And as

a hockey player, I would go over to Canada a

lot and a lot of Canadians would come over here

a lot. And I'm, I'm how old am I now? I'm like

almost 33. I'll be 33 in November. The drinking

age in Canada is 19. So when I was young, we

crossed the border, we go play hockey. in the

locker rooms after the games, we'd sit there

and we'd get trashed on beer. And it was perfectly

legal. It was perfectly okay. Now they've since

changed the laws, from what I understand, but

obviously this was... Probably for a good reason.

Well, yeah, because, you know, us Americans would

get trashed and then we'd cross the border going

back over and then we'd get an accident in America

and like, why are you drunk? Well, I was in Canada.

It's okay for me to drink beer in Canada. I mean,

that's just the way it was. But, you know, so

I got very accustomed to drinking Canadian beer

and it's a little bit stronger than regular American

beer. I don't even know. I don't even know if

they put the alcohol content. I'm looking at

the bub I can. Probably somebody could look it

up. Well, at some point in time, someone's going

to look it up. But I don't know. I always figured

that Canadian beer was slightly stronger than

American beer. So I got used to it, enjoyed it.

But then I moved over here to the West Coast

here in California. And it's not easy to find

Canadian beer out here. So it was very unfortunate.

And I just had to drink the regular stuff. Well,

actually, then I started drinking a lot of Corona's.

because Corona is pretty big out here in Southern

California. So when my buddy was like, here,

let me send you some Newfie beer. It's, you know,

Canadian beer. It's good stuff. I was like, yeah,

OK, send it now. I don't know. You don't drink

that, but you don't drink, do you? I have. I

don't very I don't at all anymore just because

I don't like the taste of the alcohol. Oh, I'm

the type of person that The only times that I

remember getting just completely shit -faced

drunk was at both my cousin's weddings My cousin

Rachel got married February 15th 2003 my cousin

Heather got married a year later. I think what's

their anniversary? I think it's July 24th 2004

and I got just smashed at both their weddings.

Oh But I got smashed at both their weddings off

of screwdrivers and for me I have to Not be able

to taste the alcohol so it can be in there. I

just don't want to taste it And you know that

that makes sense very first time that I ever

got drunk see this is why it's variety because

we're random We're talking about getting drunk

now the first First time I ever got drunk believe

it or not was after I had got into a car accident.

It was after now Everyone was like, what the

hell are you talking about? After? What? How

long can you get drunk after a car accident?

Well, I know you can get drunk after a car accident.

Usually you drink to get into car accidents.

Well, here's the story. I was living in Wisconsin.

I was with my girlfriend, her mother and her

stepfather. We were leaving a dinner. We went

out to dinner and we were on our way. We were

actually on our way to a bar, which is even more

ironic um so we're on our way to the bar and

i was stopped at a light now most people that

drive know unlike you you might not know this

mic but usually when you're stopped at a light

uh there's there's a left hand turn lane oh yeah

i know okay so i'm sitting there my light had

just turned green and i'm started driving well

the person in the left hand turn lane opposite

me, decided he was going to turn too. Oh no.

So he turned, now granted we weren't going too

fast, I mean because I was just at a stop. So

I start going, he starts going, and we hit each

other. Obviously it's not my fault because he

ran, I mean he had a red arrow, he didn't have

a green arrow at that time. So it was his fault,

he got to take it all that stuff, but I just

was so upset. that I got in this accident and

somebody could have gotten hurt I was just I'm

like oh my god I can't believe it someone could

have gotten hurt so I was really distraught at

this time you know my car got smashed well not

smashed but the whole front part of my car just

they don't make cars like they used to I mean

I barely hit this thing going at five miles an

hour and the entire front of my car had to get

replaced I don't it's Absolutely stupid, but

so anyhow I'm sitting there, and I'm like I'm

so upset this sucks so much They're like come

on Paul. Let's go all. Let's you know have a

good time Nobody got hurt. We'll get the car

fixed. It's no big deal So I'm sitting there

at the bar, and I just I just couldn't get into

it I was just not having fun. I was just sitting

there. I was sulking Finally everybody was in

there, and I actually walked out of the bar and

sat God it must have been for about a half an

hour before anybody realized where I was it was

it started raining outside so I'm outside sitting

in the rain just sulking and finally a friend

of mine came out and I'll never forget he's like

you know he's like you know accidents happen

he's like I used to live out in California and

it's funny because now I live in California and

and he's he's trying to tell me this story he's

like you know accidents happen he's like I was

driving around and the sun was so bright I couldn't

see anything it's like the sun was setting until

it was right in my face and I couldn't see anything

and I'm driving around these curves coming down

this mountain and next thing you know boom boom

boom boom boom boom and I'm like oh my god what

happened he's like I hit a Mexican I'm like you

did what he's like this guy decided across the

street he didn't see me coming around the corner

I didn't see him because the sun was in my face

and I hit him. And I'm like, and he was Mexican?

And he's like, yeah, he was Mexican. I couldn't

understand anything he was saying when he was

when they got out of the car. He's like, I didn't

know what to do. And he's like, so accidents

happen. Don't let this bother you. Nobody got

hurt. And I'm like, really, that's the way that

you're going to try and cheer me up to tell me

that you ran over a Mexican. So I'm like, all

right, whatever. So I came back in. And they're

like, here, Paul, drink this. And I'm like, ah,

I don't really drink. I mean, how old was I?

I was like, I was like 24 years old. So I was

24, 25, something like that. So and I never drank

before. So they hand me this and I didn't know

what it was. And I took a sip of it and it tastes

just like lemonade. It didn't taste like alcohol

or anything. I'm like, oh, that's pretty good.

So I, by the time I knew what was going on, I

had already drank probably about 10 of them.

And then they told me that it was a vodka and

lemonade. And I'm like, wow. And by this point

in time, I was already started getting, I mean,

I was trashed by this point in time. So I was

feeling good and they were, that's, that's how

they got me to not feel so bad about getting

in a car accident. And that was the first time

I ever got drunk. So basically, the moral of

the story is, mexopotamus do not get in front

of cars. The mexopotamus needs... Well, you know

what? Mexopotamus might be okay, but Nestor?

Oh no. If a car hit Ness, there would be considerable

damage. Of Ness. I love Ness. I shouldn't say

that. That's not right. He's a good guy. He's

a good guy. He's a little slow, but that's okay.

That's alright. Just, I mean, what are you gonna

do about it? I mean, there's nothing that you

can do about it. You know, now, what is it that

you hope to accomplish with this show? Let me

ask you that, Mike. What do you want? What are

your long -term goals here? You better be careful

asking me about long -term goals and podcasting,

because our movie review podcast is scheduled

through 2020. That's true. That's right. No,

I mean, the basic plot, I mean, this is really,

really simple. Not a lot of editing, you know,

slap some music at the beginning and the end.

We're actually going to be using your Team Bottomless,

Optabottomess. Have I sent that to you yet? Yeah,

yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, we're gonna be

using your your optobotomist video music as the

theme to the show. We should, you know, should

you do the Sanford in time? God, no. Oh, bad

70s flashbacks. Oh, no. The goal is, you know,

for us, maybe we're not keeping a schedule on

this one, which is rare for me because I mean,

The way I do podcasting is everything has to

have a set schedule. We're not keeping a schedule

on this. Maybe it'd be once a week. It might

be once a month. It might be two times a week.

We don't know yet. Whenever you and I have the

inclination to just randomly discuss a topic,

we'll just record it and put it out there for

the people to listen to. That's a good idea.

That's a good idea. Now, I have expectations.

Okay, what are your expectations? I have not

told you this oh But I have expectations that

at some point in time. I want to become Obviously,

I'm already a famous YouTube personality. I would

like to take this and become the next big radio

superstar That's my that's my goal. That's my

goal. That's my dream. I have my own radio show

Well, we have the show right right I know but

we need to have We need to have more stuff. I

mean, it's like I want to be the Howard Stern

of the Transformers community. Oh my god We need

to have like naked chicks here. Um with with

celebrities that are getting very Embarrassed

being around. I mean just fun crazy stuff and

that that's what my expectations are. I don't

know if you can handle that if you can run with

that with me mike you're you're welcome to join

but it's gonna be a wild crazy party i'm just

letting you know that right now and of course

it might not be so whatever whatever happens

hey sarah sarah whatever yeah yeah see you don't

even know At the GeekCast Radio Network we have

I believe on average each month we get anywhere

from 600 to 800 ,000 hits. Oh my god. On our

website. Oh my god. So you'll be hitting a lot

of people. This is good. Yes. People need to

understand that I just opened another beer by

the way. The most important aspect of any sort

of media is that you have to be able to connect

with your audience and I think I think that my

randomness Could very you know what I just realized

The damn I just I just opened this up just the

other day here. See this is this is what happened

tangent um I gotta get the DM box, okay. Transformers

Collectors Club, is that what you're trying to

say? The TFC toys. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What is that, the new Bruticus Hercules, whatever

the fuck, Devastator knockoff? It's Devastator,

yeah. They're using twisty ties, and it's amazing

to me because I don't think any other third -party

company uses twisty ties. and I was I don't know

why I just decided to mention that but I mean

I remember opening this box up the other day

and I was like there's twisty ties in here right

this is not Hasbro and the Hasbro is not even

using twisty ties anymore they're using these

little teeny tiny I got one right here one of

these little teeny tiny um like it's not rope

I don't know what it is it's kind of like rope

But it's made out of... Yeah, it's like frayed

rope is what Hasbro uses now. It's like if somebody

were to take toilet paper and twist it and twist

it and twist it and twist it and twist it and

twist it and twist it and then wrap it around

a toy. That's what Hasbro's doing right now.

I guess they're going green. Yeah, they're going

green, right. They might. I don't know. But if

they're doing that, don't you think they could

make their toys cheaper? Oh, Lord. Yeah, that's

a little ridiculous. It just surprises me so

much the difference between the United States

and Canada prices. The fans in Canada get royally

fucking screwed on prices for figures. I remember

back in the animated days. Oh, yeah. I went into

the stores and I saw Ultra Magnus. I saw Megatron

and I saw Bulkhead. Those are the three leader

class figures. In Canada? What? In Canada? No,

no, no, no. Here in the UA - Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Back in the animated days - Right,

right, right, right. Okay. I went into the stores

and I saw the leader figures from animated. Megatron,

Bulkhead, and Ultra Magnus. Okay. At my local

Target, Ultra Magnus, I bought him for $39 .99.

Someone in Canada told me that leader class figures

go anywhere from $59 .99 to $69 .99. A leader

class figure! But you also have to remember,

there's a big, for the longest time, not so much

now. I want to say that the exchange rate is

a whole lot more equal. I know I was talking

with Andy from Kapow Toys and he and I are working

out some stuff for the future and he was telling

me how retail prices over here in the United

States are just about retail price over in the

UK. It's not too much of a difference nowadays.

I mean it's pretty comparable. I mean now obviously

depending on what stores you get them from and

things of that nature but back when Animated

was around or very big you know with the toys

and such they they were almost twice the cost

that was that was very common yeah but yeah that's

a different time and the american dollar was

a lot stronger and yeah now it's not worth the

price or the paper that it's printed on and i

love now how And I don't want to make this a

Hasbro versus anything type of show But I'm gonna

jump to the other giant toy magnet. I love how

now Mattel is like, oh well We haven't raised

prices in the Masters of the Universe line since

the line started which no means you know, which

initially means by 2013 the prices are gonna

go up and you know what they did though, they're

skipping out on the shipping now Yeah, so Okay,

yeah, you don't raise the prices, but you screw

people on the shipping. Yeah, pretty much. Speaking

of the future... Oh my god. The shoes we never

thought would get made are being made. I have

a couple problems with it. Number one. They do

not have powered laces. Right. Which... That

was that's like That's like you handed me popcorn

and saying that there's no butter in it Or that's

like you handed me a hoverboard but saying it

doesn't hover or Here's a here's a car. Here's

a hover car, but it doesn't hover I mean the

whole the whole thing about the shoes What was

the you know the self? Lacing lace things whatever

you know or this or it's like What else he had

that he had the jacket the the air -drying jacket

Right and I love back to the future. I am a huge

back to the future fan So am I there there are

very few trilogies that I think each movie is

wonderful Yeah, and back to the future 3 is one

of those A lot of people I know don't like Back

to the Future 3 and I'm like, why don't you like

this? Back to the Future 3 was the weakest in

my opinion, but I still love it for the entertaining

value that it has. Well, I love it for the entertaining

value that it has and I also love it for the

fact that you're continuing the story of Doc

and Marty and they basically said, Bob Gale,

Robert Zemeckis, everybody has said Back to the

Future 3 They've done the stories with the parents.

They've done the stories with the future thing.

Back to the Future 3 was specifically focusing

on the relationship between Doc and Marty, and

that's what it was. Yeah, it absolutely was.

Now, I think that part of the problem was that...

Now, I was young when these came out, but when

Back to the Future... So you were a little bit

older than me. When Back to the Future 2 came

out in theaters, they were already shooting Back

to the Future 3 with the plan that when Back

to the Future 2 would be released at the time

on VHS, they didn't have DVDs back then. When

it was released into the stores, into the regular

blockbuster videos and all that stuff, then Back

to the Future 3 would be released. in the movie

theaters. They kind of timed it that way. And

I think that kind of hurt them. I think it was

almost like overkill because people had just

seen Back to the Future 2. And they were so enamored

with how the future looked and all the cool gadgets.

And now you're forced to watch a western. And

I think that was part of the problem, but...

I was talking to another friend of mine, you

know, and we were discussing, you know, certain

movies. What was the one that he mentioned? He

mentioned Superman 3. Oh, no. And, you know,

I like Superman 3. The problem is that a lot

of people compare it to the previous movies,

and all by itself, Superman 3 is just a fun ride.

It's an entertaining movie that's just... run

-of -the -mill nothing special about it but it

continues on with the characters and it lets

you you know have more fun with them I don't

remember the movie that I brought up that he

he compared it to but you know it's it's just

that's just the way it is but back to the future

2 was one of those movies where there were so

many things in it that you just couldn't wait

for it to come out and those shoes were one of

them and God bless Michael J. Fox and Nike for

doing this. All the proceeds from these shoe

sales are going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation

for Parkinson's research. God bless them. I think

it was, they're doing 150 shoes. 1500 shoes,

150 a day I think. For the next 10 days. It's

only on eBay that you can get these. But I mean,

these shoes are not going for any less than $5

,000. Oh my God. And see, now this is something,

this is one of the reasons why I brought this

up is because I want to discuss this with you,

is that these... I think it's great. Don't get

me wrong. I don't want to take, I don't, in this

discussion, I don't want to take away from the

fact that the money is going to his charity at

all. I think that's great, but I'm sorry. I'm

just, I'm looking at the page now. There's one

bid of, let's see, $1 ,925. There's one bid for,

yeah. Because I just looked at this page the

other day yeah, a lot of these bids are actually

really low on the page, but Like I was looking

at this this this eBay page the other day and

they were going for I think the highest one I

saw was for $75 ,000 and I'm thinking who besides

a celebrity has Mean I mean I understand that

I mean the people that have that money are the

celebrities and things like that and you know

it is a fantastic cause the and I don't remember

his name and it's terrible because Because I

do all this YouTube stuff that the CEO or whatever

for Google is Matching however much money they

raise they're matching it up to 50 million dollars,

so What if you know if Michael J Fox raises?

Three million dollars, which is probably gonna

be a low ball number I don't know if they raise

three million dollars Then this then the CEO

for Google is gonna match it and it automatically

becomes six million dollars six Which is wonderful.

It's absolutely wonderful, but now my my logic

is why don't you make? Hundreds of thousands

of these shoes sell them at two to three hundred

dollars a pair and have you know $200 of the

proceeds go to Michael J Fox's. Everybody and

their mother wants to buy these shoes and I think

you would raise just as much money if you did

it that way as opposed to doing it the way that

they're actually doing it and only allowing a

select group of people. Now this has been going

on now for a couple days so it doesn't surprise

me too much that the hype For it is kind of lessening

now and you're seeing bids like around a thousand

dollars and stuff. Yeah. Well, the one that I

just clicked on is actually the current bid is

$3 ,050. It has 20 hours and 39 minutes left

in the auction. So maybe it's maybe those other

ones were, Oh my God, there's only two hours

left. You know, eBay and snipers and all that.

So maybe that's what it is. I don't know. But

you're probably right. It probably is the fact

that it's been going on for, you know, it's going

to, you know, it's going to die down. But I mean,

these things are still going to go for pretty

expensive. But I know one, I know one YouTuber

who's very adamantly watching a lot of these

auctions and it's not me. That's for sure. Yeah.

Let's not even go there because I think it's

one of two people. So it's one person that I

like. Oh, OK. Well, wow. I know exactly what

it is then. All right, then. Speaking of YouTube,

it's a great idea. And like, I mean, just real

quick, I mean, it's it's it's amazing to see.

And I applaud everybody who is contributing and

helping with this. I saw the video that Michael

J. Fox did where he was talking on. He's like,

you know, 20 years ago. um marty marty mcfly

got you know and god god bless his soul because

that man has been through so much and you can

just see how bad he's getting and uh it's very

tough for me to watch it because growing up with

michael j fox i mean it wasn't just back to the

future it was my family ties family yeah he watches

a lot of stuff um so many good movies secret

of my success doc hollywood there were so many

good movies that he did, the Teen Wolf movie.

I mean, there's so many good movies that he was

a part of my growing or my childhood. So it's

really tough. It's really tough seeing him like

this and it's very hard. It's very hard to see

him like that. And I've seen him over the last

10 years in interviews here and there. I think

I can't be for certain and I don't want to speak

in fact here but my opinion is I believe that

he has found for him medication that works enough

that allows him to function a lot better because

you look at an interview with him when he first

announced that he had Parkinson's. I don't know

how long ago it was that he did that, but look

at that interview from back then and look at

something he's done recently or even two or three

years ago. He's gotten a lot better, and like

any disease, you're gonna have your fits, your

tantrums, your flare -ups. When you watch him,

there's good days, there's bad days. You know,

it's it's one of those time it's to the point

now where I think there's more bad days and good

days It's really tough and I I hope and pray

that I mean he his goal is to have a cure for

Parkinson's By the time he leaves this world

and the way he's going I I want to be surprised

if he does it and God help him. I hope he can

oh no why I just don't understand YouTube sometimes

I just I just don't get it what did it do to

you now it's not anything that it does to me

it's just I just don't understand it because

okay yes yes you are if you go to Say, for example,

the official Transformers YouTube channel. And

you subscribe to that channel. There's an actual

Transformers YouTube channel? I think so. It's

in my subscription somewhere. I'll look it up

later. But I'm using it as an example. Okay,

okay. I'm trying not to single any one person

out because heaven forbid. Oh my god, why'd you

pick him? Why didn't you pick this one? Oh yeah,

here I see it. It's just Transformers. Yeah.

So say you go to the official Transformers channel

or say you go to Stan Bush's channel or Rock

Sugar's channel or whatever. Right. And you hit

the subscribe button because you want to be notified

or you want to keep in touch with what those

people are producing. I'm going to do it right

now so I can see what's going on. OK, I just

subscribe to the Transformers channel. OK. OK,

so that adds a subscription to their channel.

Say they had 50 subscribers when you added your

subscription, and that gives them 51 subscribers.

Now, I'm not looking at their channel. I don't

know what their actual numbers are. I don't care.

I'm just using that as an example. 2 ,350. I

subscribed, and now it's 2 ,351. OK. Okay, there

you go. Now, you will get every time they upload

a video with whatever settings that they've applied

on their channel, you'll get their bulletins,

their uploads, their likes, their favorites,

whatever. Each YouTube channel, you can select

what activity your subscribers see. Correct.

Yes. I don't understand. Add as friend on YouTube.

Don't YouTube is not fucking Facebook It's the

whole friend thing has been around though. I

Know it's been around before Facebook. I get

that but I just My point here is if you subscribe,

why do you also need to add as friend because

There's nothing to me, and maybe you can explain

this. Maybe there is something different that

I haven't noticed. There's no fucking difference

in adding his friend or subscribing to someone.

I... I don't... I've left him speechless, folks.

Well, kind of. Plus, I'm also checking out this

really hot blonde on YouTube right now because

she was... Stop looking at Carly. No, it's not

Carly. Not Carly. I don't even know what Car

- Oh, you showed me a picture of Carly one time,

I think. No, it was - I was - What did I do?

I had checked - I checked on the thing, then

I went back to the homepage, and then there's

this chick. Her name is Jenna Marbles. And she's

a hot piece of ass. That's a porn star name if

I ever heard that. Yeah, I don't care. Let's

go see. No, I know. I don't care. What does she

talk about on Twitter? Oh, hi. Got like a picture

of her wearing nothing but a little, oh. Only

hell. I have to watch Monday Night Football.

Patriots versus Dolphins. The Patriots better

kick their ass. Oh, but they probably will. So

anyway, back to this YouTube thing. So yeah.

I don't think you actually get notifications

if you friend somebody. But I still think that

as a friend you can still see all their activity.

Right, you probably can. I don't know. I try

not to... Well, I framed a lot of people more

than I than I used to I used to not friend anybody

because I was like I don't want to have friends

that are actual friends Now I was like, you know

what? I don't care whatever So I just started

approving everybody and if I go to my channel,

I can click there's there's a thing where There's

a thing that shows all activity in your subscriber

box all activity subscriptions and recommendations

Which what? Okay. Oh, I got the we built this

city on rock and Then you can see all the videos

that you're who you're subscribed to have done

and then all activity I think is all Like your

friends everything that they do and you see all

the stuff that they watched it like this guy

I don't know Nintendo gamers like the video and

love lyrical ride X like the whole bunch of wrestling

videos I mean I don't care about any of this

stuff it's all stupid all except a recommended

video for me is my own my fat ass eating a hamburger

uh I mean so it's I don't know it I really don't

know what the purpose is of having friends I

don't either Obviously, you follow somebody on

Twitter or you friend somebody on Facebook. I

understand the purpose of that. I don't understand

the purpose of friending someone versus subscribing

to someone on YouTube. They're gay. I've decided

that they're gay. YouTube's trying to be this

kind of social thing where... It's failing miserably.

Yeah, but I mean... You can't argue with the

success of YouTube. Well, okay, the success of

YouTube and YouTube trying to be a social networking

avenue are two completely separate things. I

agree, but it's kind of... Obamaisntworking .com?

What kind of fucking ad is that? Obama isn't

working paid for by Romney for president. Why

is that on my channel? I have no interest in

Republican rhetoric whatsoever Yeah, I mean and

people complain because you know, oh you put

and you've got what I don't like a two minute

long video or two minute long advertisement For

Apple TV. I'm like at least you can skip it Unlike

this piece of shit about Obama isn't working

that you couldn't skip I Mean come on Well to

be fair now yeah, you specifically have gone

out of your way Regardless of the length you've

sometimes you will go out of your way And you

will put your own ads that you created on your

videos like I know that you have a partnership

with Coca -Cola And you did an ad for them Did

kind of an ad for the Apple TV that you bought

that type of thing like that? I don't mind but

like when I see on it doesn't matter whose channel

I'm on whatever video I'm on if there's ads like

like say I click on Review of our motto optimist

prime that set my house on fire video Only a

certain youtuber will get that reference Okay.

Hello, Mr. Baltimore. Anyway, nevermind. Oh,

the one and only. You know, as soon as you click

on that video link, you think that, okay, the

video is going to play immediately, but no, here's

the stupid white guy in a tux. Geico has this

blah, blah, blah, blah. Now, sometimes they will

have a little thing on it that says you can skip

this video this ad in three two one right sometimes

they don't do that and that is what makes me

mad those there are going going to youtube there

they have new ads they that before there would

be just little commercials that you couldn't

do anything about you had to watch them all the

way through now they've implemented uh and i

forgot what they're actually called But there's

a new special kind of ad that earns the partner

more money if the ad is watched in its entirety.

Now, those are like say movie trailers, ads that

are usually like longer than 30 seconds. Anything

that shows up that's usually longer than 30 seconds,

it shows up that you can skip the ad. Now, those

ads are... supposed to be more specific to the

viewer, more relevant because they use cookies

and all that stuff to track what your interests

might be and things like that. So they're supposed

to show you ads that are more geared towards

the person watching them. The theory is that

if they're geared towards the person, they might

watch them, and if they watch the whole thing...

YouTube partner makes more money so on and so

forth yada yada yada It's all well and good in

theory. I haven't seen honestly too much of an

increase in it, so it's I don't know if it's

just me or Or what but you know people people

it's like you know I ever since I started doing

some of my own ads I mean you meant you mentioned

the Coca -Cola one Recently I did the Apple TV

one a little bit before that I did the Lego one

These are all ones that I get to choose if I

want to do them or not and I think I was like,

okay, you know what? You know, they people probably

like coca -cola People probably like Apple TV

people probably like Legos. There's another one

that I'm doing that's gonna be for transformer

video games specifically picking my favorite

Transformer video game. So I'm gonna do an entire

video talking about Transformers War for Cybertron,

which I try to make the videos relevant to what

I think my viewers would like. Now, I'm not going

to do an ad about makeup. That's just not the

way it's gonna be. Dude, you gotta check this

chick out. She is hot. It's disgusting I'm just

skipping through and I'm looking and she's kind

of funny too. I've seen her videos before I Mean,

she's kind of what oh, here's a video that she

wrote or she that she did people I would fuck

Okay That's another thing sometimes when people

are on camera that have done on camera stuff

on YouTube. There was one girl that she mainly

does video game stuff and I found it so hilarious.

She has long hair, long brown hair that pretty

much probably comes down to the middle of her

back. She was doing a video about Duke Nukem

and she had her hair on the front of her so her

hair was hanging down over her chest. Her boobs.

Well... She was wearing a muscle shirt, a sleeveless

shirt. Oh. So the way that her hair was placed.

Wait a minute. Okay, who's this girl? Let me

look this. I gotta see this. Hold on. I'll tell

you after the show. No, you gotta tell me now

so I can react to it now while we're on the show.

Hold on. I'll find the video in a minute. So...

When she's doing this it makes because she's

just talking she's not actually doing anything

She's just talking into the camera, right? It

makes it the way that she's has herself position

the way her hair is position. It makes it look

like she's Has no shirt on How do I always click

on my own videos when I mean to go to my subscription?

That's me. I hate that YouTube menu So it's the

weather like out there in California Checking

out this blonde shake you want to talk about

whether I'm skipping ahead because our thumbnail

thumbnail. Oh Ooh, hello there. Ooh, yeah, she's

doing a pelvic thrust. We should try to get this

girl on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here. We're

gonna... I'll show you this. This is Jenna Marbles.

It's a funny name, too. Here we go. Now, see,

I don't know if this is your type or not, Mike.

Now, you need to skip ahead to, um, like... the

two two minute and 15 second mark and then you

can just you can just watch from from then because

i am and this girl's lucky that i'm married now

i'll tell you what but see it's like chicks like

this though she she's really kind of stupid she's

just kind of getting out there and she's showing

her body which is ridiculous but the only reason

she's got like oh my god yeah that's yeah good

stuff dude that's good stuff but she's almost

got a million subscribers well no wonder i know

she's got 997 28 997 thousand 28 subscribers

it's redonkulous there's no reason why what oh

that's crazy But there's I mean, she doesn't

really have much talent. She's just kind of goofy

where she's just got a smoking hot body Yeah,

anyway, wait, where's the where's the chick you

were talking? Hold on. I found it. Hold on. I

Got to make sure the stupid video through the

stupid volume is Here. All right. Okay. Here

we go. There you go. All right boys and girls

What you on Mike? This is so it. Such entertaining

podcasting we are giving your Team Bottomist

people. Yeah, hey. We'll put these links in the

show. Yes, I will put the links in the show notes.

Oh yeah, okay. I see the little things she's

wearing. Yeah, but it makes it look like she's

naked. Yeah, it kind of does because her hair

comes down there, yeah. Yep. That's not too shabby.

Now, I had... She kind of reminds me of Roy William

Johnson with like the pictures in the background

of her video Yeah, yeah kind of kind of annoying,

but she's hot how many subscribers does she have?

She's got I got more subscribers than her cool

That that that uh improves my Well, not my ego

my self -esteem that I have more subscribers

than a hot chick That's kind of scary Paul Yeah,

that kind of is because I do have some crazy

weirdos that watch some of my stuff Yeah, I mean,

you know, it's It's it's a good thing it's a

bad thing sleeping now all of a sudden and I've

done my Which means we'll probably have to end

the show here in a little while. It's a variety

hour We got 20 minutes or whatever more to like

the end of the hour. So god I'm not saying we

have to end it now. No, I know I know And that's

the funniest thing about YouTube. It's like if

you're known For Transformers reviews if you're

known for Marvel Universe reviews if you're known

for Justice League Masters the universe classics

Ghostbusters if you're known for a specific type

of review and you say you do all 20 fucking repaints

of the Ghostbusters figures and then after all

20 different versions you've reviewed those you

go to say a Goliath figure or a Terminator figure

or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure. Your

fans are like, and I'm not saying your fans specifically,

I'm saying in general, that person's fans are

like, oh my God, what happened to the Ghostbusters

reviews? Oh my God, why aren't you reviewing,

it's like YouTube people. I get that all the

time, I mean. Oh my God. That's why when I, like,

I'm not a YouTube partner. You are, I'm not.

I don't care. Yes, I would love to have some

of the money and some of the viewership. That'd

be awesome. But in general, I don't care because,

I don't know, somehow I like not being a partner

because it gives me almost more freedom at this

point. To kind of get away with some stuff. Yeah.

And not jump through so many hoops of whatever

else. When I originally signed up for YouTube,

it was just so I could comment on videos, you

know, just tell someone, hey, I like the video,

you know, maybe try it this way, you know, whatever.

And I started, I was like, I'll start uploading,

whatever. And I started uploading and I have

made it a point to basically have my channel

be nothing but variety. I have a variety of interests.

I'm not going to niche myself into one corner.

And I'm basically just Show the people what I

have and and that's it. I don't you know go into

great detail That's what all the quote -unquote

professional YouTube reviewers are for I mean

I don't like thinking of myself as a professional

youtuber, but I suppose once you start making

money. I guess you start You know it's it's it

sort of starts borderlining being professional

Kinda I mean because as soon as you're doing

it. I mean You're earning money off of it. It's

it's kind of like a profession. So you become

a professional but I Mean I like trying to do

variety as well. I have a wide variety. I mean,

I love transformers That's one thing that you

know, my my channel will always be about transformers

I'm not going to get away too much from that.

But I mean I do a lot of other things. I have

a lot of other interests I mean, I've done Ninja

Turtle reviews. I've done Terminator reviews

um... custom johnny five reviews johnny five

absolutely uh... i've done i still need to find

johnny five sound effects for the show terrible

i mean i've done some marvel universe figures

i've done some old x -men figures uh... i mean

everything that i have an interest in i mean

i typically if i like it i'll review it But Transformers

really is my main focus, and I see a lot of people

nowadays kind of branching off and doing other

things as well, which is good. It's a good thing.

You want to grow, but I know where my fan base

is. And I don't want to try to start doing Marvel

Universe figures because... You know, there's

a fan base for that. That's fine. There's people,

you know, they can watch those people. I don't

want to You know, I don't want to stay in fringe

on that territory, but I I just don't do it,

you know people have asked me to do Reviews of

halo figures. I've never played a halo game in

my life. I don't know anything about it I want

to be able to do an appropriate review of a halo

finger now I look over at Where the hell are

you then? I mean, okay here it you know, here's

here's P off who's doing Nip who nip nipple what

nip? I don't know nipple nipple sentai Her tanger.

Okay, you know It's a it's a Power Ranger thing.

That's fine. That's wonderful. I mean, I know

he likes Power Rangers, but I mean it actually

gets some pretty good views on those but I mean

it's really kind of weird I have no intention

of really kind of trying to cater to people and

what they want to see I just do my own thing

I do the reviews of the stuff that I enjoy and

if you enjoy it wonderful I mean my review of

the RoboCop figure I love RoboCop That's one

of my absolute favorite movies, and right now

the review that I did for Robocop is sitting

currently, I'm trying to get to the damn page

but it's taking too long, it's sitting at a total

of 3 ,897 views. The video I did after that was

the Dark to the Moon air raid that has 13 ,000

views. So I mean, yeah, I mean it well it depends

on what people are watching you for I mean really

that's that's really what it depends on Most

people watch me for the transformers. All right,

I recognize it. That's fine. I'm happy with it,

but sometimes sometimes people just I Don't know

it's it's kind of weird and then every now and

then you will get people that will be like What

are you gonna do another transformer review?

We talking about I just did one like yesterday

i honestly don't know how you can put up with

all the que that's one of the reasons why i'm

so glad i'm not a partner putting up with all

the questions from your fans of what do you think

of this figure what do you think of that figure

what figure should i buy next but i understand

why they're doing it because you've established

and it's not just you specifically but the the

people that review transformers have established

themselves as a go -to source of people asking

you what You think they should get next my biggest

thing is I hate I hate it when people ask me

that Because well, there's a couple questions

that I really lo getting That is one of them

because Why can't you make up your own damn mind?

Why don't you watch do some research watch some

videos and? See what you like and what you don't

like I mean Hey Up The Bottomist, should I get

human aligns this, human aligns that, or leader

class this? Well, which one do you like the most?

Take that one. It's pretty simple. You know,

or the other one that I absolutely loathe is

Hey Up The Bottomist, where did you get that

from? Everybody loathes that question. That's

a terrible question. People don't understand

how terrible and how much we hate that question.

It's not so much, I mean, when you're talking

about early figures, that's a little bit more

tricky. Go ahead, go ahead. No, well, in my case,

when I was, because I've considerably cut back

on my collecting, I'm only focusing on certain

things nowadays. But back in, I'd say, what was

it, 2008, 2009? Yeah, somewhere around 2009.

I don't know how I get into them. I think I get

into them because of some internet show I watched.

I get into Mighty Mugs, and I get into Mighty

Mugs heavy. I had all the Transformers ones,

I had all the G .I. Joe ones, I had a good percentage

of the Marvel ones, and then I started getting

into the Star Wars ones, and I started collecting

all of those. I had probably... 50, 60 Mighty

Mugs in total. And I'm, cause I'm just, I'm going

through my subscriptions at this, not my, my

videos at this point. And I actually made a video

of where to buy Mighty Mugs. And what really

pisses me off about where did you get that? It's

not even cause I don't get early figures on like,

you know, some, some people. But it's like, you

know, you can sit there and put like, I know

certain people that have either said it in the

video or have put it. like in a visual, you know,

transition in their video. Right. This figure

was bought at big bad toy store dot com. Even

if something like that is in there, you're still

going to get that question of where did you get

this guy? Yeah. I mean, most people don't. The

attention spans. And, you know, it's actually

kind of funny because there's a there's a system

now in place on YouTube where you can track where

the most attention is on your videos. You can

see where people stop watching The hot spots,

you know, if people go back and watch things,

you know parts over again, etc, etc and It's

amazing how you can look at this and see how

people don't even make it halfway through the

video Yeah, and then they'll go off and do something,

you know, that's fine. I mean I could really

care less because at this point time You're watching

for some of it and I'm getting some money from

you. So whatever but you know it's but yeah you

specifically answer questions where you got it

how much it cost things of that nature and people

don't pay attention they don't listen to you

or the other thing I mean the grand scheme of

it is why the hell should I tell you where I

got it from if I told you that I bought it at

Walmart That unless you live where I live and

you can go to the Walmart I bought it from There's

no guarantee whatsoever that you're gonna find

it at your Walmart It's pointless for me to tell

you that but now here's the here's the thing

if I say that to someone then I Optibotamus and

be an asshole and am being rude to my subscribers

Didn't you have someone ask you recently how

much money you make from YouTube I mean what

no what wasn't this someone that actually commented

on the on a video or something like that I don't

know if you're specifically talking about this

but somebody on on the video that I did with

the Apple TV they were asking me they're like

you know how much are you making from that and

no offense but you know I mean oh you know you're

probably gonna take this rudely But you asked

the rude question, so I'm going to give you a

rude answer. It's none of your damn business.

And see, that's the thing. Specifically with,

you know, for me personally, and this is just

the way that I was raised. Yeah. Never ask anyone.

It's not. And you're absolutely right. But, you

know, going even further is in a job scenario,

most employers have clauses in paperwork that

you sign that says that you're not allowed to

discuss how much you make with other people.

You just don't do it. It's no one else's business.

It creates kind of an animosity if somebody finds

out that you're making more money than them,

you know, if you're longer than them. I mean,

there's reasons why it's just kind of a taboo

question. There's two things that I was always

raised that you never ask anybody. Never asked

them how much money they make right and you never

asked them who they voted for I don't honestly

I don't know and I don't know why the who they

voted for really matters, but It was just one

of those things that my mom instilled in me Those

are the two quest to two of the biggest questions

you do not ask people how much they make and

who did they vote for? Yeah, I mean that's III

would agree with that. I mean, that's what I've

gotten You know, and that's what I will raise

my kids You know also, I mean you shouldn't Mini

bottomus is oh my god what? Mini bottomus is

oh my god. What about them? There are some things

that you don't do and in the words of the great

Great Jim Croce you don't tug on Superman's cape.

You don't just fit into the wind. You don't pull

the mask Off the old lone ranger and you don't

mess around with Jim Those are some things that

you don't do yes I Don't know what else uh You

know what we just already cast radio comm we

just released our Geekcast radio podcast special

episode previewing the 2011 fall TV schedule

There are a couple of shows this this fall that

are coming to network TV that I kind of want

to check out but most of the stuff on the big

networks ABC NBC CBS Fox CW I Just don't care

to watch anymore. I just I have no dancing with

the stars. No No, no, no. Yes, that's part of

it, but that's not the main reason why. But I've

just been, I don't know if it's because I'm 31

years old. I don't know if it's because I miss

the 80s. I'm not really sure. I've been going

back on Netflix or wherever and just watching

a lot of the old 80s shows. Because to me, it's

better quality television. You know, a lot of

those old 80s and 90s sitcoms were all, and I

can't remember his name, but they were all done

by one guy. I mean, the guy who did Cheers, the

guy who did Friends, the guy who did, there's

so many. I can't even begin to list them. But

every good sitcom that you can think of from

the 80s and 90s was probably done by this guy.

And I don't think he's doing anything anymore.

And it's a shame. A lot of TV shows nowadays,

the ones that are popular, are the shows like

American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Big Brother.

I mean, shows like that, you know, where they're

kind of... I don't want to say reality TV, but

it really kind of is. The only one that I really

kind of like watching out of all of that, but

I don't even... Like, my mom and sister will

literally work their schedules around things

that are on TV so that they can watch it. I mean,

I'm not even joking, dude. I mean... Like, I

call yesterday. Was it yesterday? No, I think

it was Thursday. What is today? Today's now like

Monday, but okay I think it was Thursday football

the football season had started now my sister's

a big football fan So she started watching that

but I'm like April. How did you watch that when

big brother was on? She's like, oh I flipped

back and forth and I'm like, oh my god, you know

But they worked a schedule on this stuff now

I won't go that far if it's on and I'm bored

and there's nothing else going on and I'll put

it on is Hell's Kitchen I really like watching

that show. And I don't know why. It's probably

because Chef Ramsay's like, fuck off! And it

cracks me up that, you know, he just tells everybody

to, you know, to fuck off or whatever. You know,

the other show that I really liked watching that

I kinda tried to make a point to see when it

was coming on was Undercover Boss. Uh, I don't

know if you ever watched it. Did you ever watch

that? No. It was basically like... CEOs of large

corporations You know like waste management Roto

-Rooter Right dish or direct TV I mean CEOs for

these large companies what they would do was

they would go undercover and they would work

within their own company So like so like the

guy for Roto -Rooter would go and he would have

to do Plumbing calls. Well, he doesn't know how

to do any of that stuff. So he gets out there

and it's like a huge shock to him man and Nobody

else knows it's all undercover No, none of the

people that he's working with knows he's the

actual boss and you just get these people that

are sitting there Like this guy's a fucking idiot.

He can't do anything. We got him. He can't he

can't do this job You know, I mean it's stuff

like that. It's it's funny because it really

makes the owners look at the company and be like

wow there's some crazy stuff that's going on

here that i didn't even know it and it was it

was entertaining to watch i don't think it's

actually on tv anymore i don't think i don't

think it's been picked up again or whatever but

over labor day weekend because obviously it's

labor day they had on true tv they had like a

marathon and i watched a whole bunch of them

it's a good show that if anybody sees on tv i

recommend watching it it's entertaining yeah

it's definitely entertaining but that's all i

can really get into Yeah, I mean there's like

out of all the stuff that the networks are premiering

this fall There's three shows that I'm probably

gonna pay attention to the new Sarah Michelle

Geller thing on CW ringer I'd like to just check

it out. See what it is. It looks like it's really

interesting premise uh... the playboy club on

NBC which is basically a period piece talking

about the you know it's a show about the first

chicago playboy club uh... and tim allen returns

to ABC in the uh... last man standing with uh...

tim and nancy travis and it looks really really

funny but i mean other than that Between that

and the Big Bang Theory, I do not watch network

TV anymore. I love... I haven't in a while. It's

just... It's the same crap. It's mainly because

of reality has taken fucking over. Every network

has 20, 30 different reality shows. I love Law

& Order Special Victims Unit, but I am so out

of that show at this point in time, I... I have

to go back and pick up from the beginning. NCIS,

I watched NCIS, the original show, not the spin

-off. I watched that first NCIS show for the

first six years. By the seventh year, I just

got so far away from it, I couldn't come back

to it anymore. I'm going to have to come back

to it eventually when it comes to Netflix or

if I can get the DVDs again. I love those shows,

but all the new stuff that the networks are coming

out with, it's just... God off television. You

got all that stuff. You got The Bachelor. You

got The Bachelorette. You got, you know, What

Would You Do For a Blowjob? I mean, there's so

many terrible shows out there. You can't find

love on television, people. No. It makes me sick.

It really makes me sick to see these people.

Now, granted, they're around each other a whole

lot more than what we're actually seeing on TV,

but... And see the problem with these shows is

that like say What's a good one to use as an

example I Know I'm gonna get flack for this but

keeping up with the Kardashians. It's a reality

show. I don't care whatever Shut up when it started

it's Season that it just ended right now when

it started that season the whole season is the

the point of it is is Kim Kardashian Going through

the processes of her boyfriend proposing to her

and this and the other thing and then they're

gonna get married This summer well already marriage

is just have the problem is they broadcast the

stuff after they that they film it like nine

months to a year before right and then they broadcast

it and it's It's not instant. It's not. I don't

know. This is just so weird. It's stupid. I mean,

there's that. I mean, there's so many other ones.

You know, there's Jersey Shore. Oh, I know. I

cannot turn that shit on. I see the name of that

show and I just run like hell. It's bad. There's

no doubt about it. It's bad. It's a giant train

wreck. It's a whole bunch of, you know, whiny

just oh i don't know narcissistic assholes others

to it i don't know i don't know either so that's

all yeah that's all folks that's woody woodpecker

yeah that's woody woodpecker i don't know it's

one o 'clock it's three like four o 'clock to

you boys and girls we're tired I'm not that tired.
