About this Episode

The hosts discuss the dramatic season one finale of Transformers Prime, the technical specifications of the iPhone 4S compared to the competition, and their perspectives on the music industry. The conversation covers the Goo Goo Dolls' career trajectory, the evolution of pop stars, the impact of autotune, and personal experiences with reality singing competitions like American Idol.

This is Starscream, and you are watching Optimus!

Yes you are! Said too much stuff. Hold on. I

gotta I Hit the Twitter block hold on I gotta

figure out what I can I have to um, what is that

called? I have to wait when you not speak I'm

doing my text talk, whatever You know where you

instead of you as in while you I just type you

oh, yeah, you know I eliminate any Punctuation

marks That's that's pretty ironic we're sitting

here talking about that and It's true. I mean

I I don't It's just so funny, okay, there we

go I posted my response And it's it's very I

don't know. I see some of those things pop in.

I didn't even know that it was pronounced common

rider. I was always calling it caiman. No, it's

common rider. Yeah, I didn't know that. The only

reason why I know is because the other guy, Nemesis

Predaking, the guy that you got those instructions

from for... Whatever he does he does the shit

and I've seen a couple of his even though I don't

really watch them all the way through I had seen

a couple of his videos. So that's the only reason

why I know it was common rider I Mean I'm in

I'm in my room and she sleeps with the fan on

but I don't like didn't yell that And I'm wearing

my glasses so headphones and glasses do not go

together very well Like make some I don't know

it like makes my glasses crooked and not sit

on my face, right? So it's confusing. Okay. There

we go Well, let me let me give you an example

that might kind of draw parallel to that think

of all those movie studios and movie or and TV

studios that Create a set for a particular movie

and then as soon as it's done. They tear it down

They pay all that money to do it, and they're

gonna just obliterate it afterwards. You know,

that's kind of, that's kind of along the same

line, I suppose. But, to me, it's... It's looking

at it at, you know, the bottom line. He's not...

I mean, obviously people make these movies because,

you know, they're fans, and they want to make

movies, and they like that aspect of things,

but, you know... I'm sure that there are some

things from those sets that people keep. To give

you another example, look at Seinfeld. When Seinfeld

ended, people asked the cast, when they did the

reunion stuff, they asked the cast, did you ever

take anything from the set? I think it was either

Jerry or it was Michael Richards that said that

I think it was Jerry. Jerry said he took the

door. The one door that Kramer always crashed

into. He took that from the set. Stuff like that.

You're always going to have people taking stuff

from sets. Right. It keeps part of that alive.

I don't know. That's what I was talking about.

I think it was Nestor. Migs earlier today. We

were talking about the new iPhone 4s and How

you know, I mean it's got a better camera, you

know It's got like a 8 megapixel as opposed to

the iPhone 4 which has a 5 and it shoots in 1080p

as opposed to 720p and I was you know my general

point that I was trying to make to him was you

know Yes, it's an improvement and yes, it's gonna

look good. But what people I mean just in general

I mean, you know people that are going to be

using this camera You know aren't Movie producers,

they're not doing the things that are proper

so I mean I mean me with my lighting I mean my

camera captures things at 1080p and I render

it in 720 just because it you know when you watch

it on on a computer or anything There really

isn't too much of a difference between 720 and

1080. There really isn't. If you're gonna watch

it on a big giant screen TV, then yeah, there's

gonna be a little bit of a difference. But I

mean, still, 720p is still pretty good, even

on a television. So, you know, I mean, people

aren't... I mean, people... I don't know. I mean,

the majority of people don't watch YouTube videos

on their television sets. I mean, not at this

point in time. I mean, in the future, maybe.

Who knows? Look at how evolutionary the smartphones

are. Technically, Apple launched the smartphone

craze. I guess you could count Blackberry, but

Blackberry was mainly for email and texting.

It wasn't really for all the multimedia shit

that an iPhone can do. Look at the other smartphones

at this point. Look at HTC. Look at Samsung.

Look at Sony. Look at Nokia. Every Samsung that

I've seen or every HTC phone that I've seen in

the last year and a half, they've all had standard

8 megapixel cameras. Some have had 1080p video,

HD video, some haven't. But they've all had 8

megapixel cameras. The iPhone is just now getting

to an 8 megapixel camera. Are you fucking kidding

me? I mean, it's definitely behind, you know,

and... other companies are taking the whole iPhone

idea and they're improving upon it with their

own. And that's great, but it's like, for me,

aside from the fact that I can't upgrade early,

because I honestly think that by me buying that

new phone when I soaked mine a few months ago,

I don't know what happened. I probably could

call them and talk to them, but I don't recall

extending my contract. at all. I just bought

the new phone. I bought it outright. I don't

know why I would have extended my contract. If

you paid the regular MSRP of $600, $500, $600,

whatever it was, and you didn't get ... That's

not a contract upgrade. I paid over $500 or something,

whatever it was. I don't remember exactly what

it was. Yeah, that's a straight buyout, and that

wouldn't extend your contract. Your contract

would still remain whatever it was. It tells

me that I'm not eligible for an upgrade until

July of 2012. So I'm like, okay, whatever, that's

fine. Even if it did come out, I wasn't going

to get the 4S. No. People just need to wait for

the 5. Yeah, there's no point for the 4S. Just

like you said, wait for the 5, get that. Be happy

with it, you know and all these people that are

buying it now like Ben You know in six months,

you know eight months or whatever when they're

gonna be selling them Yeah, and they're gonna

be trying to sell them so that they can afford

to buy the new one because they're not gonna

get that discount. Yep You know, I mean, it's

I don't know. It's stupid Whatever not that I

really care about the franchise either way, but

that's kind of like people that hurt that are

in the Doctor Who that go nuts over I mean I

know we go nuts over the ending of Transformers

stuff but I mean some of these Doctor Who fans

out there they just go ape shit over the ending

of an episode and it's like seriously yeah it's

true you know and it's you know that's fine that's

you know that's fandom you know that's what people

want but it's yeah it's still a little bit ridiculous

I mean, yeah, I don't get the common writer stuff

at all. Usually when I am watching something

and I'm doing like, you know, like Transformers

Prime, I've watched the entire season. I can't

wait till the DVDs come out. The ending is just

jaw dropping, but it's not like where you have

to go on Twitter and just type capital F. for

like six friggin lines yeah yeah and you know

i mean people have already seen all i mean i

i haven't gone in i know you're waiting that's

fine it's up to you i just i had to i had no

it was too tempting because i was like wait how

did it leak already because it leaked like it

leaked like 10 hours after part two had how did

it I don't know how it did. I mean, trust me,

I'm intrigued. And I want to see it based on

the end of the last one. You know, I want to

see what happens. Oh, man. I'm not going to spoil

it for you, but I'm just going to tell you, your

jaw will drop to the floor with how episode 26

ends. I'm telling you. Because I literally almost...

I've said this before. Some things make me, you

know, literally fall out of my chair. This is

one of those moments because it's not something

that anyone would expect to happen. Interesting.

Yes, very interesting. It sets things up for

a very nice season two, hopefully. Oh, yes. Now,

I'm... I just want to know when the whole season

two is coming. It's... I think it's at somewhere

like in November. That would be awesome. I think.

Let me look. According to this it says season

2 is set to begin airing November 28th. Oh Sweet,

so we don't have to wait too long at all. That's

according to Transformers wiki. Yeah You know,

I don't let me see do they say they don't cite

a source really It's just that's all that's just

what it says but like I said it doesn't Um, I

don't see anything that actually sets it. Or,

um, you know, uh, confirms it. Let me see if,

um, Twitter .com... It said I have to go to my

own Twitter page to find something more than

a day old. Uh, I'm watching Two and a Half Men.

That was from earlier. Jeff Klein confirmed they

have talked about producing a theatrical Transformers

Prime film. That would be interesting. That would

be very interesting. That could definitely...

I think because it's got the same kind of movie

feel, but obviously it's a different, like, continuity,

I think that could be a reboot that would work

very well. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm going into random

mode at this point because I'm looking through

my Twitter feed and I saw where I mentioned to

you first! And the first thing I thought of was...

Oh my god, he would so shoot me with a gun at

his wedding if I yelled up in the middle of the

ceremony and said, first. That would be awesome.

Wait, so did all the AmiAmi pre -orders for tonight

already go up? Yeah, Ben. Go, quick, get them.

So he's like, yeah, I saw it. That's what he

said. Yeah, he's like, I saw it. That was an

hour ago. Were you going to reply to him? He's

probably like, I emailed him. I'll find out tomorrow.

That's what he always says. Yep. Okay, well Jesus

I've I've I've scrolled through and in like six

tweets to Callie the other day I'm stalking that

shit. Oh, that's stalking her She's going to

um, New York Comic -Con with Tyler nitro streak.

Yep. Well in Tyler JT Mitchell. Yep JT to come

out to my wedding. Did you see that? Yes, I did

see that you guys were arguing over suits You

weren't arguing. Oh, no, I know you weren't Oh,

yeah, since I have you on the damn phone you

did get my email about that music spotlight,

right? I sent it to your gmail address. You should

have gotten it. Oh, yeah, you probably did but

I Probably just skipped over it and you can't

look. Okay. There it is. Copy opening your tab

So I want to get the game You have lofty ambitions

It's, it's still up. I don't know how it's still

up, but it's still up. What is? The part three.

Oh, it hasn't gotten yanked on yet? Nope. I'm

looking at the link right now and I'm looking

at the video. Oh, wow. 80 Spotlight, Holland

Oats. Yeah. Shut up. Michael Jackson, Stan Bush.

We are the world that's actually probably a very

good one to talk about. Yep. That was a very

influential song 60s and 70s 10 favorite artists

fans of the 60s 70s and then special episode

for the beetles Google yeah, there's there's

a like I said, it's very very lofty ambitions

Nickelback default 12 stones theory of a dead

man. I don't know any of that stuff except for

nickelback Non stream music video game music

cover bands one hits the the cover bands thing

is mainly for dot Mike Dodd because he He's more

into non mainstream shit and I want most of the

regular episodes to be Mainstream stuff because

that's really in the grand scheme of things.

That's what matters Nice but you know every one

of these people that you list on here, you know,

came from a garage band setting, you know, and

through to this, but that doesn't really happen

a lot nowadays. Well, I mean, most of it, I just

kind of listed the bands that I kind of liked.

I mean, you know, it's mostly bands that I like.

It's mostly bands that I, you know, came up with,

but whatever. I mean, the main episodes are the

ones that are in bold. and obviously you'll be

on the 80s one but um surprise you didn't jump

at the google dolls spotlight i'm not saying

you have to be on it i'm just saying that actually

wouldn't be too bad of an idea because i mean

i remember watching like a behind the music of

uh of the google dolls and i can't remember the

guy's name the lead singer for google dolls johnny

resnick sure um no that's his name after he did

iris he really would wait until like this huge

bump you know where he couldn't write anything

because Iris was so insanely popular he really

is a perfectionist of sorts and really didn't

think anything could live up to it so he really

felt like what what else could he do you know

then uh then they chucked the fuck down and they

came out with good stuff Mainstream breakthrough

and legal issues 95 to 97 iris and superstardom

98 to 2005. Yeah, they yeah, they basically after

It's all there is to it. Yep. I've been actually

wanting to check out their latest album, Something

for the Rest of Us, that came out last year.

I haven't had a chance to do it yet. But yeah,

I mean, after Iris, it was like, where do we

go from here? And then in 2006, Let Love In happened,

and there's a couple good songs off of that,

so. Yeah, but what really... Was but let me let

me look at their Wikipedia. I already got it.

Hold on. No, I just pulled it up. So Wait, but

I don't know where anything is You tell me it

goes in in order in Chronological order. Yeah.

Yeah. What do we have here on? What love in what

did they have given it a bit that's a cover song,

isn't it? Yeah, that's a cover song Let's see,

we're recording a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, Stay

With You was the first single off of that and

Let Love In, the title track, was the other one.

I think I have both of those songs, actually.

Let's see. God smack. There we go. Here is Gone

Off of Gutter Flower. Let Love End. Yeah. I mean,

really, after Iris ends, pretty much just Dizzy

Up the Girl in general. Not Dizzy Up the Girl.

A Boy Named Goo, that album. After that, I mean,

they were pretty much blah. What do you mean

they're pretty much belong I mean they didn't

really come out with too much Well, they came

out with the album gutterflower that spawned

a couple of good singles and gutterflower came

out after After dizzy up the girl and then after

gutterflower was let love in I mean they they've

kept their sound up. I mean it's it's this you

know it's the same It's not like you know yeah,

but they didn't have any big hits Well, there's

I'm looking I'm looking at this I'm looking at

this song list here for Gutter far and I don't

see anything really that I recognize now, maybe

if I heard the song I would probably recognize

it but That's here is gone that's that's one

of the big ones Where's the other one see let

love in here's stay with you off a let love in

Never heard it before Yeah, that's a cover yeah

Mean that you can't really go wrong doing a cover

of a no But I mean a lot of these bands, you

know, not just not just goo -goo dolls I mean

disturbed is done covers. I'm sure one is done

cover Everybody does covers and for the most

part every band that I've heard a cover from

I've really liked it. So I Actually have to add

that to my iTunes wishlist because I don't have

that song Shut up. Let me see. What was Haven't

heard anything off the new album the most recent

one According to iTunes the most popular one

is a song called not broken off of something

for the rest of us Yeah, I mean, I mean he's

always been this, you know, they've always had

the same sound. Oh, yeah They've been a band

that that relies on the popularity. Yes. They

are very popular. Yes. They have their fan base

You know, yes, they do have some great songs

They're like Stan Bush God Wait a second. Wait

a second. You're saying the goo -goo dolls are

the 90s version of Stan Bush I'm saying in general

you know most people or most artists don't reinvent

themselves so they typically die off and something

else comes along you know and that's that's how

they are and you know I mean Goo Goo Dolls is

kind of like that and Stan Bush It's kind of

like that. I mean, it's just the nature of the

beast. I mean, not a lot of artists reinvent

themselves and they don't have a career like

Elton John has. Well, no, but... You know, or

Madonna, for that matter. Well, true, but is

she even relevant anymore? No, she's not. I mean,

she's not singing anymore, but at least when

she did, it was always a reinvention, you know?

I mean, she would always reinvent the wheel.

I mean, you look at, you know, the whole, you

know, like a virgin. that's completely different

than Vogue. You know, I mean, it's, you know,

she reinvents herself every time that she comes

back out, you know, and, you know, then it gets

crazy, like in the late nineties with, you know,

Ray of White. And I mean, it's it's that's what

keeps you fresh. That's what keeps you in the

public's eye. And without that, you die off and

you're you're gone. See, every time sent, like

see, I didn't know the Goo Goo Dolls before A

Boy Named Goo. I didn't, because they had albums

before that. The band's been around since like

1987. Oh yeah. But their popularity really didn't

hit mainstream until 95. And I had only heard

name. That was the only this is the only song

I had ever heard by them Oh, yeah, and that's

that's still a great tune, but it's still a great

tune But that's the only song I had heard off

of this album And then after the radio play kind

of stopped on that song I hadn't heard anything

until Iris until 1998 so this album came out

in what? 95 yeah, 1995 I Didn't hear anything

from them for three years right because really

name was the only really hit track off of a boy

named goo right um and then iris hit with city

of angels and dizzy up the girl and dizzy up

the girl and slide and black balloon and broadway

and that entire album i love that entire album

of dizzy up the girl it's yeah that's i was teasing

my sister because we were i was going through

and adding a bunch of her cds to uh to her itunes

because she didn't know how to do that Alright,

and and she'd hand me a CD and then I'm plugging

I'm like, okay What songs that you want that

you want out of this one? And she's like, um

That one and like that's it and she's like, yeah,

I'm like so you paid ten to fifteen dollars for

one song And she's like, yeah, I'm like son of

a bitch and we did that about fifty times and

I'm just sitting here, you know where she you

know, there was one or two songs that she liked

and I'm like Really ridiculous. That's why honestly,

I love iTunes so much because you can pick the

one song that you like You don't have to buy

the whole thing. I mean, it's well now sometimes

iTunes I Don't know if it's iTunes or if it's

the licensing deals that they sign. I know where

you going work more sometimes Sometimes it is

album only and it pisses me off. Yeah, I agree

I agree with that but that's so it's so fucking

stupid because it was like like, okay I'm a huge

theory of a dead man fan You know and it's one

of those things where I heard that their latest

track or their like their first Track that they

were gonna be teasing up for their new album

was gonna be on Dark of the Moon Dark of the

Moon soundtrack day. I go to iTunes I can buy

this no -name track, this no -name track, the

bands that I've never heard of, but if I want

to get the Goo Goo Dolls, Theory of a Dead Man,

and the Stain songs, I have to buy the whole

goddamn fucking album. Are you fucking kidding

me? See, there are workarounds with some of that.

You know, some of those, like you can find, like

for example, if you wanted to buy Iris, for example,

and you went to Dizzy Up the Girl. It might say

that Iris is only available if you buy the whole

album. But in some instances, you can go to the

City of Angels soundtrack. And you can buy that

song individually off of that album. I'm looking

at Iris right now I know I know it's just an

example, but I'm just saying I'm looking at Iris

right now on the full album Because I already

have Iris so if I was to buy the rest of dizzy

up the girl You know it would be at a discounted

price, but in the full album Funniest thing is

their most popular song is on sale in iTunes

for 69 cents Well, that's also because you have

other songs from that album, right? No, I think

it's because iTunes has run 69 cent song sales

in the past. Oh Yeah You know one thing I love

about iTunes and some of their stuff is the iTunes

originals Stuff that they do because oh, yeah,

I got some on bear bear nigga weighty stuff.

That's iTunes original Well with the iTunes originals

what they do is and I'm sure you know this because

you have it you know They put an album together

with different tracks over the years and then

they interview the band So it's like interview

clips and I absolutely love that. It's like it's

like The old VH1 storytellers. Yeah, you know

or you know about well not even behind the music

storytellers was more like that because at least

with storytellers they sit there they play the

song and then in between sets or whatever they

you know You know, so this song right here, we

wrote because we were stoned and blah, blah,

blah, you know, and then, you know, they tell

you the whole story or whatever. And, you know,

I missed them. I missed those shows. Those were

good. I remember watching. I think it was a storyteller's

with meatloaf, which was fascinating. That was

fascinating. Yeah, I remember seeing that. I

can't believe that. What the fuck? Look at here.

Look at this. This is, um, this is their greatest

hits. Volume 2. There's an Iris demo version

on here. Nah, it's too acoustic. Yeah, but I

mean, you get that a lot with live performances.

Yeah, I love acoustic songs, don't get me wrong,

I do. But that version of Iris just doesn't sound

right. Here's the problem. Nowadays, people can't

do acoustic versions. Can you imagine Kesha going

in and trying to do a demo and trying to sell

that to a record company? singing in her regular

voice because all of her songs are auto -tuned

so it's like okay you know so she goes and she's

like okay now I'm gonna sing this song to you

but I really want you to imagine it not sounding

like me at all you need to imagine it sounding

like a robot and that's what I want to do that's

a little fucking ridiculous yeah it is I mean

it is I mean auto -tune is the single worst like

You know, in the 80s, synthesizers was the biggest

thing. You know, just hit a couple of keys and

you've got an entire track. But the autotune

bullshit for voices, that's the dumbest thing

in the world. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, hold on. There

was a... I saw something. Let me see. I can find

it. You lost it. Okay. Okay. Now, this song is

terrible. But for example... Here I mean all

you have to do is listen to the first you know

10 15 seconds of it That's her without auto -tune

and listen to how terrible it is And then I'll

get you the regular My teeth are starting to

go numb. That's fine. Okay, you don't have to

listen to it anymore Yeah, oh my god, okay, so

you heard that okay now now Here is The regular

version of it. Okay. Now this is with auto -tune

now the song still sucks But you can hear the

big difference you might have to skip a little

ahead god ad are you serious like you have to

skip to like 20 seconds i can't skip it's a fucking

ad i know i got that too grab some buds that

is the worst slogan ever grab some buds but now

so that's what at least listen to the yeah i

don't see how this chick's in the music business

you see like that part right there that's that's

like the you know the chorus part that's what

you were listening to before you cut it off you

know that that's what i'm saying you know i mean

people don't do demos anymore because they don't

have talent there's no talent left in this world

and see that's why for me i mainly just stick

to the artists that i've loved over my lifetime

like i don't like i was i I have a little...

I forget even where I got the thing. I think

it was like a cereal box prize, but it was like

the best... No, it was orange juke. Yeah, yeah.

It's a Tropicana orange. When I was a kid...

Why the hell aren't you recording this, by the

way? When I was a kid... When I was a kid, I...

Tropicana was running a giveaway of if you collect

so many UPCs and send them in you get a free

radio. Oh cool So I have a Tropicana orange with

a straw in it The straw is the antenna and it's

one of those it's not old -timey, but it's 80s

You know rotary dial radios sure and I turned

that on the other day And I just can't listen

to the radio anymore Besides all the ads, and

I understand radio stations have to have ads.

I get that because that's what keeps them in

business. The only station here in town that

I can listen to is a station called Light 106

.9. It's kind of like, it's soft rock, but it's

also, it's like a lot of the old... oldie but

really goodie things from the eighties. I hate

to even say this, but it's the only thing that's

popping into my head right now, and I don't know

why. Stuff like Michael Bolton, like All for

One, Boyz II Men, stuff like that. Stuff like

Chicago, like Survivor, stuff like that. And

I can listen to that station. I can listen to

the classic rock stations. but like the the the

top 40 station oh my god i used to love this

this is hilarious because what we've basically

done is we've become our parents that's i mean

because i remember listening to my parents music

not all of it because i actually like some a

lot of their stuff but you know i remember listening

to a lot of their stuff and my grandparents stuff

and thinking it was stupid you know i'm like

i don't like this i like this new you know cool

stuff You know, and it's hilarious because now

I listen to the shit that Angel listens to. And

because she's going through that. But while she's

listening to all that crap, it also changes very

quickly. I mean, it's hilarious because she's,

I don't even know how old she is, she's like

13 or something like that now. Is she your own

damn niece? Yeah, I don't know. I have no clue.

Put it this way, she was in love with the Jonas

Brothers. Now, she cannot stand them now. She

cannot stand them. I mean, it wasn't too long

ago that I was filling up her iPod with Jonas

Brothers crap. And now she can't stand listening

to it. And it's like, really? But that's how

fast things change. I will say that a - Small

and it's mainly Disney Channel's fault a small

guilty pleasure of mine is a couple of Selena

Gomez songs But I don't listen to them all the

time. I know who she is I've never I don't think

I've ever listened to anything from her the only

thing Disney related that I could say that I've

ever even remotely listened to Was and it was

just because it was popular at the time, but

it was like Britney Spears in sync the Backstreet

Boys all the people that were part of That whole

Disney thing that became pop music sensations,

you know, I mean that might have to skip a few

minutes in but you'll see Jesus Hey, if you're

gonna, you know, I Know I know Yeah, I got I

had to correct you on the name what is this Knight

Rider the house going on Oh, she's cute though

She's probably like 12 and I'm probably gonna

go to jail for saying that no The only problem

is I don't think anybody wants Justin Bieber

sloppy sex. Oh, he went out with she went out

with Justin Bieber. Yeah She sounds like she's

got a decent voice though Yes, she does. I'm

skipping a bit. You know, I mean that I can hear

some editing stuff You know what? I actually

really liked and this you know a lot of things

kind of changed with with this too in the music

industry, but With American Idol, when Kelly

Clarkson was on there in season one of American

Idol... That's the only season I even acknowledge.

Oh, I agree. I agree. That's the only... You

know, and then after that, the gay Clay Aiken

guy came out or whatever. Literally. Literally.

You see what I did there? That's what I'm talking

about. rimshot yeah exactly oh ho ho we're talking

about gay guys no ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho I mean

I remember watching the first two seasons really

of American Idol and the second one was when

Ruben Studdard won and Clay Aiken was second

but Clay Aiken got more radio play than Ruben

did and it's the same thing with Daughtry I mean

yeah I don't even know who won that but he didn't

he came in like third or something like that

I think Carrie Underwood won that year Carrie

Underwood's another one who's had, you know,

huge success, but it's a different genre of music

that she... Yeah, that's country. So, but I remember

watching Kelly Clarkson and listening to her

sing, and that was, you know, a very genuine,

very real voice that she had. I never really

liked American Idol because I always thought

it was kind of like a glorified karaoke contest.

Yeah. Mostly because I remember a time where

I was sitting there, I don't remember when it

was. And they did like an Elton John week, and

there's no secret that Elton John is probably

my favorite singer of all time. And I was sitting

there listening to some guy singing Benny and

the Jets, a song that I absolutely loved, and

the guy was singing it very well. I had no problems

with how he was singing it, but as he was singing

it, I constantly just kept hearing Elton John

in my head. And I was immediately comparing him

to Elton John. And I was like, this guy is terrible.

All he's doing, you know, he doesn't sound like

Elton John. He should not be singing Elton John's

song. Another one came out, and you know, a couple

weeks later, they did, it was like Motown, and

somebody was singing Stevie Wonder. I'm like,

you cannot do that. And it was, I was like, I

don't like this. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

And I honestly really never watched it since

then. And that was a long time ago. Now, I mean,

I've caught, you know, snippets here and there,

you know, but I mean, like I said, I think it's

just glorified. Season three was Fantasia's season.

She won that year. Yeah. I don't even know who

the hell that is. Yeah, Carrie Underwood won

in season four. I think it was between her, it

was her, Beau Bice, and when the hell did Daughtry

come out? Oh no. Daughtry went up against Taylor

Hicks. Oh, that dude that was 30 but it looked

like he was 40 or something. Oh, I remember that

guy. Yeah, that was a huge thing because they...

I remember like Simon thinking it wouldn't work

because he was too old and he wouldn't be marketable

See, that's the thing about American Idol. That's

that stuff like There's only like you mentioned

earlier about like pop bands like Backstreet

Boys and all that 90s stuff, right? There was

one one band that I think came out of England

or came out of somewhere overseas called Westlife

And I really like them. They kind of have the

same kind of feel as Backstreet Boys, but their

songs are a little bit better than the Backstreet

Boys, in my opinion. I didn't know at the time,

but as soon as American Idol came on, I heard

the name Simon Cowell. And I'm like, this guy

is a complete asshole. And I know that's what

his job was. But then I looked at the back, because

he said when they introduced him, I've been a

record producer for X number of years. Oh, yeah.

He knows what he's doing. I'm not saying he doesn't,

I just think he does it very unethically. Sometimes

I don't necessarily mind that it's done that

way because sometimes people need to be told

straight up and I always appreciated that about

him. You know, I mean, he could be a little bit

harsh. There's a big difference between told

straight up and being downright rude. I mean,

there's a huge difference. Well, he's also English.

That's true. Which is a staple of a lot of English.

Ain't that the truth. Amen. Yeah. But I mean,

I really do kind of put a lot of the blame of

modern pop music on American Idol. Oh, this was

also the season that had Catherine McPhee. She

was hot, too. But didn't she, like, become, like,

anorexic or something like that? I have no idea.

Or polemic? What? There's... No clue. Oh, personal

life. Here we go, we'll skip to that. Um, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh,

she was 23. Oh my God! On February 2nd, 2008,

the then 23 -year -old McPhee married 42 -year

-old Nick Kokus. For a second there, I thought

you were gonna say Mick Jagger, but I know Mickey's

is like 60s hilarious But oh my god somebody

who's twice her age? That's why he's all over

iTunes who? Scotty McCreary He was he was the

season 10 winner of idle. Oh, he can kiss my

asshole boy I'm trying to - I don't - I mean

she - I honestly do remember hearing something

about her becoming bulimic or something like

that. Having some sort of eating disorder where

she, you know, felt she was too fat or something.

I'm trying to - and I can't see it. I don't understand

why they want to have it in here. You broke it.

Stupid Wikipedia. Here, we'll just put... Atherin.

Make sure you're eating this order. Um, I don't,

in reals, uh, yeah! The Senor was in treatment

for bulimia right up until the contrast began

taping. Huh. You know, I mean, that's... She's

a hot piece of ass. Giggity, giggity, giggity,

giggity, giggity. God, stop it. Our test servers

may have noticed that McPhee dropped it. Three

dress sizes from when she first auditioned for

American Idol, but the singer attributes the

weight loss to her recovery, not her illness.

Her battle with bulimia started her junior year

in high school, McBee said her real problem was

avoiding her emotions. Food was my crutch, McBee

told people. It's how I dealt with emotions and

uncomfortable situations. It was literally a

drug. The singer said, She thinks her body image

started when her body changed at 13. So she sprouted

boobs and then became self -conscious. Okay.

Before then, she said she didn't think about

boobs. She was a stick and could eat all she

wanted. Then, seemingly overnight, she had womanly

curves, which made her uncomfortable. So she

had been always... Though she had always been

athletic, taking dance classes and competing

on the school swim team, she started exercising

compulsively and starving herself. So she grew

boobs and thought she was fat. You know, and

I shouldn't laugh. I mean, that's definitely

a disease and an illness. It's a disorder, you

know, and... I mean I feel bad for anybody that

has to go through that obviously, but You know

it's like you know and I love Bob, but you know

Bob Gilmer But he's got OCD like a son of a bitch

and the other day He tweeted that it was really

affecting him because he was literally having

to count things four times and I'm sitting here,

and I read that and I love Bob. I mean Bob's

a very good friend of mine And I'm reading I'm

like I don't understand that I mean it's I'm

just I'm ignorant I really am. I'm ignorant to

how it works and the actual science and stuff

that goes behind some of these things because

I look at them and be like, why don't you just

stop? I mean, in my mind, it makes perfect sense,

but in theirs, it doesn't. There's something

that's completely different that, you know, their

brain mechanics and their wiring job is a little

screwy. So... And I mean, I myself, I recognize

that I have some OCD tendencies. I mean, I have

to fold my clothes a certain way, otherwise it

freaks me out. You know, but I don't think the

world's gonna end or something. I mean, it's

not that extreme. I'm sorry, like, I know this

is a very serious issue, but when you mention

the clothes, I don't know why, but I'm flashing

to Lieutenant Einhorn. Lace is out! Oh my god,

no, it's nothing like that. I mean, it's... And

it's not even that bad because I do the laundry

so it I don't have to worry about it too much

But when when burn does the laundry it it annoys

me because she folds my stuff wrong You know

and I don't like it but yeah, you know, whatever,

you know, so yeah, it's so Yeah, there's some

randomness for you. I Mean it's like me when

I had my toy collection, you know nobody You

know how people ask, oh, can I look at that?

And they think look means touch. Look means look

with your fucking eyeballs, not your hands. Exactly.

I do that all the time. My sister would be like,

I'll be holding my phone. She's like, can I see

that? I'm like, yeah. And I'll hold it up in

front of her face. And then she reaches out for

a nice slap. And I'm like, you see with your

eyes, not your hands. That's like people asking

me. And it's even the funniest thing is. When

I first moved into the apartment that I'm into

now, it was before I had my Wi -Fi stuff set

back up, which I do now, obviously, but someone

knocked on my door at like 10 o 'clock at night

saying, um, are you the one with the Wi -Fi signal

named blah, blah, blah, blah? And I said, no,

my internet's directly through my modem to my

computer. I don't have a wireless router. Yeah.

Oh, well, do you know the password to that? I

said, that's not my stuff. I can't help you.

I don't know. And it's like, seriously? Every

time I set up the wireless network, it's password

fucking protected. Oh my god. I don't know why

I... I have no idea why I decided to go to this,

but Matrix Prime uploaded a video talking about

the Kindle Fire. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't like

the He's a he's a he's a total Mac or total Apple

whore, but he doesn't like the iPad to Why? Watch

the video. He tells you why I think in the video

Not that he'll ever listen to this because I

don't even think he listens to podcasting Oh,

he's got a Twitter, too? What the hell is all

this about? Yeah. Oh, you know what? I think

I've seen Spada retweet some of this stuff before.

Yeah. I retweeted a couple of his Creo videos.

He did Creo videos, too? Yeah. They're on his

channel. Probably the first videos he's done

in over three years. That's pretty ridiculous.

Let's see. We all can't be professional YouTube

producers. We all can't work for YouTube and

be professional. He's showing off his, or fuck

us. Okay, he did a video of ice tea. A YouTube

question and answer session. Why? People still

asking questions? Okay. I mean, when it comes

down to it, Him and Spada really are, Him, Spada,

and I say Simon, Dianzus, they are the godfathers

of Transformer reviewers. Everything, everything

started from those guys. Oh yeah, here it is,

Creo Optimus Prime, part 2. Jesse, you don't

have to do parts. You're a partner. No, he did

it because he didn't want to transform the damn

thing on camera. So part one is robot, part two

is vehicle. And he probably knows that he can

do that in one giant video, but really, who's

going to sit there and watch one giant video

of a damn Creo figure? TFWire movie review promo.

Okay. Good for you, Jesse. Waiting for a new

mic. You got a fancy mic. TFWire wants your Transformers

3 reviews. That was a while ago, I think. Yeah,

in July. Well, yeah, that was a while ago. We

want to hear from you. Yes, you. That's corny.

What are your thoughts on Transformers 3? Well,

Transformers 3 was never actually called Transformers

3. There's no such movie as Transformers 3. Oh,

good. Steve put out the latest episode of AT

-TF. Good deal. Your voicemail may be used in

the show. All voicemails become the property

of TF Lawyer. Look forward to hearing from you.

Music courtesy of Megaphone. Not your enemy.

And then he didn't even play it. Haven't played

I actually saw that space shuttle in the center

of my box. That's pretty cool Discussing dark

in the room. Did he did he like dark in the moon?

I don't remember. Oh He did a review of the dark

in the moon preview of Apple remote review Inspector

gadget 12 -inch is his most viewed video. Oh,

wow. Damn. He proposed me away a million views

Almost two. Yep. 1 ,700 ,000. That's his Deluxe

Movie Camaro Concept Bumblebee. I remember watching

that when it first came out. I mean, like I said,

when I got Transformers, those were the guys

that I watched. Jesse, Simon, and Matt. Those

are the people that I went to when I wanted to

learn how to do stuff. And it was actually watching

those people. I mean, if you watched some of

my early stuff, I... I mean, this is where I

tell people I've seen some of your early stuff.

I know it's really bad. I mean, it's pretty terrible.

But when I'm when I'm doing it, I'm very much

copying, you know, a lot of a lot of Jesse stuff.

I'm sitting there talking about, OK, you know,

the color is mostly like this, you know, some

black bits here and, you know, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah. And, you know, that's where my style

developed from. I mean, watching him and that's

why I tell people that You know, I can give you

advice, but the best advice is just to be yourself,

because that's what I learned. That those videos,

I was just trying to be like Jesse. And most

people would try to be like me, and you shouldn't

do that. Just do your own thing. I don't even

know what my highest video is. I mean, I definitely

think his beats me. Probably. Let me look. Let

me look. Actions. I hate the way that they fucking

redesign this. Cuz I can't well at least all

the details are there when you get to the videos

page. Yeah, but I can't like Sort it by most

views You used to be able to do that I can't

so now I got to go to my channel page We go to

my channel see my most viewed My most oh, okay.

I guess it's not it's not too far off. But um

is my side swipe review sweet I got another video

that went over a million views my um my leader

class Optimus Prime that just that must have

just happened because it's at like one million

one thousand seven hundred awesome that's kind

of cool you know but um yeah so my deluxe side

swipe review from two years ago set one million

seven hundred I don't even see most views on

my channel. I see all uploads favorites playlists

That's all I see on the on the right hand side

there. It should be like Right under where the

search thing is Yeah, there should be a thing

that says like date added most viewed and top

viewed or top rated on the channel. Yeah Right

to the right of whatever video you have play

playing Hmm No, mine's just got uploads and favorites.

What is that theory fan zero zero one one or

something? 105 one Okay, that's close Kiss my

ass away. Oh wait. Yeah. Oh wait. Okay. So first

what you have to do click on uploads at the very

very top And then then it on the right underneath

where it says certainly Then it should say it.

Oh, okay, yeah, I got it. I got it. Cartooned

Tokyo Mater with you. Yeah. That's pretty good.

Oh, and you got 5 ,000 views on your PR thing.

Yeah. That was only because he featured it on

his channel. Yeah, that's true, yeah. I'm surprised

the Phineas and Ferb thing. I'm not surprised.

I mean, Phineas and Ferb is really popular, but

I'm surprised. That one video, the GeekCast Radio

special episode of Phineas and Ferb across the

second dimension, that one video, as soon as

I put it up, it went from like 25 views to almost

200 views within an hour and a half span. And

then it kept gradually going up, going up and

going up and going up. Why did you say? What

the hell? My Stan Bush video finally hit over

a thousand. Stan Bush. Where's the other one?

What are you laughing at? Shut up. What phone

is this? Okay, that's preview number one. Where

the fuck is preview number two? I don't know.

What the fuck? more shit from shell factory when

I thought I saw a tweet from you saying that

you want more stuff from them or something no

I was I published my gem review and I published

the interview with Christy marks oh when are

you gonna review Larry Kenny for me I got an

email in first why haven't you I haven't had

the time right now you need to hurry up I'm telling

you, imagine in Lionel's voice. Bitch, you need

to pay me. I'll pay you something, but that's

fine. I mean, imagine in Lionel's voice. I know.

I mean, imagine him saying. I know. That's good.

You don't want to say it now. Well, no, I know.

I'm just saying it would be cool. I know. And

you know, every time that you are interviewing

some voice actor. You're going to have to let

me know so I can see if there's anything I can

get them to say. How receptive are they usually

to doing stuff like that? Usually for repeaters,

it's cool. You just have to let them know in

advance so they have the lines. Like we've talked

to David Kaye twice. We've talked to Stan Bush

like six times. And the beautiful thing about

Stan is you just write what you want him to say.

He'll produce and edit the shit himself. Oh,

wow. So it's like high quality audio. Nice. Oh,

so like, for example, when it came to Tom Kenny,

how did you go about asking him to do that for

me? I waited till the end of the interview and

I said, would you mind if, you know, I said how

I usually end every interview because we have

an intro and an outro in between the interview.

Uh huh. Not in between at the book ending the

interview. We have the intro, the interview,

and then the outro. Right. So at the end of the

interview, I just said, you know, we'd like to

thank Mr. Kenny for taking the time today. We'd

ask you to hold the line, and we'll be back after

this. Right, right. Stop the recording. I'll

say, you know, we'll say, oh, you know, oh, my

God, it was so great to tell, you know, just,

you know, really nice, you know, just a real,

really praising the people. Because it is. It's

a real pleasure for us to talk to them. Yeah,

I can imagine. Shut up. Well no, I'm not joking.

I mean, I'm serious. That's definitely cool that

they take the time. Would you mind doing some

promos for us? Sometimes they will say sure.

Yeah. There's only been... Who's turned you down?

No, I'm not gonna fucking tell you. Stop asking.

You're an asshole. You're an asshole! Kiss my

asshole what? How the fuck did I get you that

shit? That's true. Well, we'll see. We'll see

if you can get me other ones and then we'll go

from there. You know, because otherwise I'm going

to be very upset and I'm going to cry because

I'm very sensitive. Right. Yeah, I'm sensitive.

I get sensitive sometimes. I think being out

in the land of California has made you sensitive.

I bet if you were still living in Michigan, you

would not be so sensitive. Well, if I was still

living out in Michigan, I would probably be a

lot fatter. than I am right now. Wait a second.

You're telling me that California made you skinny.

Wow. Sure. I got skinny while I lived out here,

right? So it must be that. That's my theory.

I don't know. What was I going to say? Oh, so

you were just like, how did you go about asking

him? What Tom yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just kind

of curious. I mean cuz I actually remember hot

con 2010 Sean long was saw him and Actually was

running around after him. You know I mean Tom

was on his way to go do something else He had

like his publicist or some important person with

them And Sean was like, you know, hey Tom, Tom,

can you do it? Can you do something for me? Can

you do a voice? And the lady's like, no, he's

busy. We got to go. And Tom straight up was like,

no, that's fine. He's like, here, I can do it.

You know, the lady was like basically trying

to pull him away. And I mean, I mean, Tom was

a cool, cool guy to talk to. Um, actually it's

funny. We, I don't think I, I'm going to have

to go back to my recordings and I don't have

to look. I don't think we got this, but like

the, because we had a bunch of technical difficulties

that, that night and all this and all that. But

like when we first, when we first got on the

line with Tom, he was like, um, Oh, hi, you know,

yeah. I knew you were going to be calling. And

then we got to talking about a little bit about

SpongeBob. And he's like, yeah, sometimes I like

to answer the phone really, really angry. I'm

like, that would be so awesome. Angry SpongeBob

answers the phone. And he kind of did the SpongeBob

voice, but really, really angry. And I thought

it was hilarious. I don't think I still have

that clip, though. That's hilarious. But no,

after the interview finished, we kind of talked

a little bit. You know I said would you mind

doing some promos for us just I just got a couple

of them really quickly and I just basically read

in the lines and you know and he you know wrote

them down and read them back to me. So did he

I mean did he I mean did he stammer over saying

my name because I mean people I mean okay well

I don't know I mean some people that don't know

it you know can't say it you know but that was

that was pretty cool. Was I mean I was thrilled

I mean and like I said, I mean anybody that watches

my new videos they're gonna see that in the beginning

and I Actually put a lot of work into that. It's

a small like I Know you put a lot of work into

it because I was like wait How is he gonna make

it work to the mouth of Starscream? But no, it's

that's cool. I mean, you know cuz we actually

I actually phonetically sounded it out for him

so that way he knew how to say it. Yeah. Nice.

That's very cool. Absolutely cool. But yeah,

it was awesome talking to him. We talked to Scotty,

my buddy Scotty and I that do the Power Rangers

stuff. We talked to Karen Ashley and that was

pretty cool. Who was she again? She was Aisha,

the yellow ranger in Mighty Morphin. Oh, the

original series? Yeah. Yeah, I remember her.

She was the one that took over for Trini. I can't

remember the names, but you should try to get

that fat guy and the skinny guy that were like...

Bulk and skull yeah, I'm working on it I've the

way I try to do interviews especially for like

when we get to from the on the Power Rangers

podcast from the command center I'm gonna do

them by series. Oh, I mean cuz that's the way

it makes the most sense I mean like like the

guy that did the guy that replaced Tommy and

turbo sell one ward The guy that played TJ the

black guy You know, I may, you know, track him

down. I may track, you know... I know I can get

Johnny Young Bosch again. Um... Because I talked

to him once before. What's he doing? Anything?

Uh... He's got a band. He's got a band called

Eyeshine. Oh, he's not doing anything. Well...

He's not doing anything. That's okay. We can

say it. But the funny thing is about... About

Karen Ashley is... She was in so much so many

like she guessed it in so many different series

that I just absolutely loved money She was on

hanging with mr. Cooper for a couple episodes

She was Steve Harvey show for a couple episodes

on shows Yeah, I remember watching those were

some good. Uh, I Wanted were those 90 shows?

Yep Yeah, that's cuz she did hanging with mr.

Cooper while she was doing Power Rangers. She

was on a break from Power Rangers, and she did

hang out with Mr. Cooper. Yeah, that is very

true. You know, it's funny. I don't know if you

guys actually mentioned... Oh, I think you did

mention it. I mean, I think it was brought up

once. Me being the big Futurama fan that I am,

he does the voice for Yancy. Phil R? Yeah. No,

no, no, no. Tom Kenny. Oh, no, I don't I don't

think Futurama came up I think it was I think

I heard him mention it just once and kind of

a casual conversation or you know Like part of

something else he was talking about. Yeah, but

I mean Yancy's not a very big character what

he's only been in like God like two or three

episodes Not not very many, you know, but Yancy

Yancy is our fries younger brother That that

I don't know if you I mean I saw it because I

loved it but it's like there was a flashback

of when fry Was young and he was always getting

beat out by his brother his brother would always

copy him and would always do things better Than

him, you know, he would do the exact same thing,

but he would call it something else, you know,

like like playing basketball Philip would do

like like a sky hook, you know and Yancey would

copy the exact same thing but call it the space

hook You know and you know I would be like hey,

that's mine You know and they would constantly

keep yelling and fry you know and they would

always pick Yancy over Phil so It was always

kind of funny and then he got then fly got a

seven -leaf clover which Magically made everything

he did better than everything Yancy did and then

of course Yancy tried to steal it from him and

the gag was that he was trying to hide it from

Nancy. So he stuck it inside a copy of a record

of the Breakfast Club soundtrack. And he's like,

Nancy, you'll never think to look in here. The

Breakfast Club, I mean. Yeah, that's good stuff.

But I think maybe there was only like maybe that

episode. And I'm trying to think if there was

any other ones. I don't think there was any other.

Well, no, I know. I mean, I'm the big Futurama

fan. If you ever do a Futurama, you know, thing.

Yeah, Futurama is in Tooncast Beyond's schedule,

but it's not for a long while. Oh, son of a bitch.

Tooncast Beyond is scheduled through, like, 225

episodes. And we haven't even started season

one. We're starting season one next month. Oh,

jeez. So they're burning through some of that

shit because I can talk about Futurama all day

long sweet But yeah, I we interviewed Phil Lamar

and We we covered a lot of his stuff. He mentioned

few he mentioned Futurama a lot but we also covered

a lot of the animated stuff, yeah, and We asked

him, you know, do you You know, did you just

come into it with your own thing? Or did you

listen to Scatman? And of course, Phil being

who Phil is, he's a comic book geek. Right. He

knew who Scatman, anybody who's anybody knows

who Scatman Carruthers was. I mean, Hong Kong

fooey for Christ's sake. Right, exactly. You

know, and he said, no, they just told me to do

my own thing. I hadn't watched any other series.

And we asked him, so... If you did a scatman

impersonation, what would it sound like and I

swear to God I I mean I Literally almost passed

out. It's so fucking good. Really? I mean it

was it was like scatman came back from the grave

Wow I just posted the Lincoln in the chat there

because I actually cut that out and made it a

like a little snippet of a YouTube video I cut

that section out of the interview. Yeah It's

kind of part of it's kind of muffled because

I was kind of laughing in the middle of it, but

you can hear it He's like Megatron you're going

down. Yeah, he said it. It was like holy crap.

Where's scat man? I know he's here somewhere.

I Mean it just it sent chills down my spine.

You know I mean I thought his I mean first of

all obviously I'm a big fan of his because Futurama

and he does Hermes but um I mean, I really loved

what he did on Transformers Animated. Oh, yeah.

Jazz was amazing. Jazz, that was, even though

that wasn't Scatman, that was a damn good, you

know, I mean, I honestly thought that a lot of

the voices that they got for a lot of the characters

were, while they were not the same person doing

the original voices, you know, I mean, Phil did

a fantastic job as Jazz. You know, it was a terrific

homage to Scatman's. rendition of him you know

same thing with Tom Kenny in Starscream you know

it wasn't G1 Starscream and it shouldn't sound

like G1 Starscream and there's no one that can

do that voice like Chris originally did it you

know I will say that outside of Chris Lada right

Tom Kenny and Steven Blum oh absolutely are the

two second best Starscreams ever absolute you

listen to steven bloom when he's if you listen

to starscream intruder part -time i saw him do

it live and i don't know if you are a part -time

stop running it i'm looking in part -time uh...

if you listen to what i was gonna say was in

the episode where he's you know lying to megatron

megatron basically knows everything he's lied

about right right uh... and he's he's sitting

you know starscream starts Sitting there groveling

and starts and starts whining the first thing

I was like, oh my god He found a way to basically

emulate. Yeah. Yeah, he's channeling him at that

point in time I mean it was it's amazing seeing

them do this, you know, and like I said, I mean,

um Phil doing jazz was I'm trying to think if

he did anybody else really He did jazz. He did

one of the jet twins He did oil slick. He didn't

talk. Yeah What what no no oil slick talked Oil

slick what he had like one line Yeah, he had

one line, which is the worst line in the entire

damn series. What did he say? I remember what

he said you were so not a Rodimus fanboy It's

when Rodimus gets cosmic rusted. I mean, I remember

that Hold on. Let me pull it up here. Oh Come

on fucking so far. You got to be fucking shitting

me Oh, it shit the bed. Alright, let's see here.

Where is it? Damn it. Blah -dee -blah -blah -blah.

Animated episode. Transformer toy reviews. Jesus.

Okay, come on. Season... where is it? Did I ever

do a review of oil slick? I don't know. I don't

either. There's D -Banks. There's Hotshot. Blackout.

There's Rodimus. That was cool, too, getting

Judd to come back and do that. That was really

nice. All right. I know what's here. Here we

go. And his voice really has kind of aged, though.

It has. Okay, well, Slick just went past, there's

Cyclonus. Spiddor, ugh. Oh, there's Blackout.

Boom! Blackout, you fool, we need that space

bridge operational! We need that we need that

space bridge operation. Oh, sorry You say that

like it's a difficult thing You say that like

it's a difficult thing Autobot and that's when

he and that's when I also like cosmic rostrotomus

So there you go Shut up God here we go annoying

Phil Phil was amazing. We got a bunch of cool

stuff from Phil. Yeah Could actually send that

one to you and you could use it in your videos.

What is it? Here listen Have you ever used that

for anything else yeah, but it's not like it's

exclusive nobody else nobody else would know

notice that though Send me that that would work

now. I just got to try and do another lip matching

Yeah, you know and that you know honestly it's

not that bad because the animation for Transformers

animated in terms of mouth movements It's very

much like South Park where they only have a few

facial movements You know when it comes to the

mouth, so you can you can really kind of line

things up pretty good It's just a matter of finding

the right one. Yeah, you'll like this one Asshole

That was back when I first interviewed him Yeah,

well you need to get one being like I forgot

what I told you to tell him to say but I know

it's on Twitter I know You better have it written

down Oh my god, that's a dr. Wiley in James Corlett's

version. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah What are these

other ones? List this up model online. Oh, yeah,

here we go Where is it open open? Sentinel online

now loading the beast unleashed podcast. That's

pretty cool. Yep Okay, what do we got for Gary

chalk, let's see here list Here we go, you are

listening to all things transformers Maximal,

maximize. Oh my god. Shut up. Oh, let's see.

Oh, I know where it gets really, really cool.

Let's see. Where is it? 2011. She wasn't supposed

to say the, but I wasn't going to correct her.

Did TFG want Mike? Yeah. Well, yeah, you just

take what you get. Yeah. Although, I'm not a

fan of sorry. Well, you kind of have to, I mean,

you know. Yeah, I'm not a fan of sorry, so. Well,

I mean, the only other ones I have from her is

like Bubbles and Batgirl. Well, you should get

Professor Sundeck. Well, shit, we were talking

to him, right? I know. Yeah, well there you go

I know when you're gonna be really jealous of

That doesn't work for me because he's talking

like Michelangelo. No, he's not. Raphael never

said cowabunga. Oh, he said cowabunga. Oh, he

didn't. Okay, hold on, hold on. He did not say

it as much as Mike, he did, but he did say it

a couple of times. Yeah, but that's not what

Raph was known for. You know, well, that wasn't

one of my biggest problems. Rob improvised that

line. What I wanted him to say, I didn't want

him to say, dude, did you say podcast? In the

very first episode, turtle tracks, when they're

fighting the foot soldiers and Mikey hits one

of them and it went clang. And Raf's like, clang?

Did you say clang? Because they realized the

foot soldiers are robots, but he didn't say it

the way I wanted him to. Oh, you should have

explained it a little bit better. Here's part

of the problem. I loved the turtles in time.

But the 80s Turtles, I absolutely could not stand.

I really wish they would have gotten the original

voice actors to do those voices. You mean in

Turtles Forever. What did I say? I said Turtles

in Time, didn't I? I'm sorry. Yeah, in Turtles

Forever. I wish they would have gotten the original

voice actors to do those 80s Turtles and not

make every single one of them sound stupid and

like Michelangelo. And I agree. But this promo

that he gave us from Raphael, yes, I agree. He

only said Cowabunga a couple of times. Right.

But the promo from Raph is the 87 Raph. Oh, yeah.

So. I mean, I know it is, but he's not saying

what Raph would say. I know. Well, we wanted

to make it marketable, damn it. I know. What

the hell was that? Dr. Scratchensniff. I don't

know who that is. From Animaniacs. Pinky. Barry

Gordon. Yeah, Barry Gordon was the original Donnie.

Yeah, you need to get him. I'd love to get him.

That would be awesome. Yeah, that because Donatello

obviously my favorite. Here's uh, here here's

the Jess one. I was telling you about often.

Who? Huh? Who did? Barry Gordon who was in well,

no, he was in Darkling Duck. Let me see Barry

voice cast. Let me see what he did. That's cool.

Yeah, that's what he said. That's cool. Ummm...

I don't see what he did in Darkling Dove. He

doesn't say, he doesn't show him. Come on now

fool, where you at? So yeah, we got plenty of

really awesome photos. Oh, he does, he does,

oh, I don't know if he still does it, but in

2008 Gordon debuted his daily internet talk show,

Left Talk, on Blog Talk Radio. Hmm, interesting.

Geez, yeah. Look at all this stuff. Ninja Turtles,

uh, Swamp Cats, um, yeah, the Snorks, the Jetsons,

Darkwing Duck, Batman the Animated Series. What,

what, what did he did in Batman Animated? Uh,

Smurfs, Tom and Jerry, Pac -Man. Pirates of Darkwater?

I mean, he's done some pretty good stuff. Yep.

And Barry's the type of voice actor that he doesn't

need to do a voice because his own voice is the

voice. That's true, yeah. He was on as a notable

guest star on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. He was

also on Star Trek Voyager. Interesting. Did you

know that Buster Bunny was also... uh... eric

reyman from jam jesus charlie adler i'd i'd never

know i never knew that i didn't know it either

that's just and then uh... i've started watching

the gym series because i got there from shelf

factory right and uh... it's charlie's at it's

charlie adler's voice and i'm like wait why is

buster bunny and 2012 animated series. Oh, yeah,

they're coming out with the new animated series

on Nickelodeon for Batman. No for Ninja Turtles.

Oh, yeah, that's next year. Yeah, Paulson's all

gung -ho about it though. So that's cool. Really?

Nope. He's playing Donatello this time around.

Yeah, that's that's what I was looking at. Yeah.

Detroit, Michigan. Yep, so we have anything else

we're gonna talk about here. No, it's it's almost

1 o 'clock. I want to go to bed Yeah, it's almost

4 o 'clock here. I was actually working on my

shrapnel. We're not shrapnel. Thundershred. There

you go. It's a not shrapnel ladies and gentlemen.

Let's just say everything is a not Fucking third

-party bullshit. Yeah, it's bullshit, but I mean

it's still a damn nice figure That really does

have and I mentioned this in my review. It really

does have a real Hasbro feel to it. I Just wish

we could get a real Hasbro price for the damn

thing Ain't that the truth? I mean 50 bucks.

I mean, that's not too bad, but Not too good

either. Nope All right. Fuck nugget. Hello discerning
