Transformers and Soundtrack Commentary

This is Starscream, and you are watching Optimus!

Yes you are! in terms of the Dark of the Moon

movie. We already have a question about the death.

Yeah, you need to ask him that because people

need to know if it was explained to him that

in this scene, yes, he dies. So it would put

to rest whether or not he's alive or if Wheelie

and Brain are dead or alive. Number two, because

we know that Skids and Mudflats got cut out of

the Dark of the Moon movie, I'm curious to know

if he actually ever recorded any lines for Skids

in the film itself. Because in the novelization,

there are some lines that Skids and Mudflap do

say. So I'm curious to know if he ever recorded

any of those. Or if he also subsequently got

cut out. These are good questions that you need

to ask him. Alright, well we've got two questions

so far. We've got like we've got a crap ton of

questions But as far as what you're talking about

there was a lot of controversy over the quote

-unquote urban qualities that were attributed

to skids and Is that about brother? What did

you think of that character in Rage of the Fallen?

Did they tell you how to play that one or was

it something you came up with? and I can add

in here about I'm curious if that's another thing

that people are want wondering about because

Mean without without question you can see the

vehicle forms at least The dark of the moon movie

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

the picture that I posted but when all the Autobots

are Rolling in to nest headquarters in the beginning

of the movie You can see skids and mudflap in

the back of the line I saw I took I took a picture

of it and it's like right there. There's proof.

They were in there So you know what I think would

have been better if for that scene What the?

They brought the ice cream truck back. Oh, that

would have been funny. That would have been funny.

But I mean, so I mean, we know that they were

originally intended to be in there. And I'm just

curious what what what maybe Tom Kenny was told

in terms of them being removed from the film.

Right. So, yeah, good stuff. Do you know replicate

that but you know with his own personal spin

on it? Mm -hmm, so I mean this I don't listen

to a lot of podcasts Mike, but this is definitely

one that I'm pretty sure I'm gonna listen to

Don't don't uh, you know Don't don't let me down

Freshers on me now lovely Some of the quality

of the older interviews are is kind of questionable

because we weren't like as Quote -unquote, you

know, we didn't get better until later, but You

should really check out all the interviews that

we've done You know David K twice Gary Chalky

and James Corlett Larry Kenny Larry Kenny that

one I might like to listen to yeah I'm actually

going to be contacting Larry here in the future

to talk about the new series. Maurice LaMarche,

Rob Paulson. I mean, if you talk to him about

that, you need to ask him how it felt to be put

in the role of the father when he himself was

the original Lionel. I mean, that's an obvious

question. But apparently, what do you got here?

Let me see. Let's see Some of these haven't happened

yet like some of the some of the later like we

haven't gotten to talk to Lee toker yet Christy

marks we're talking to her again tomorrow or

not tomorrow Saturday. Oh you did oh you did

one with Tara strong for Arkham City Arkham Asylum

yep, and then of course all the Stan Bush stuff

that we've done Jess Harnell from Rock Sugar

and Animaniacs and Yeah, we've got a lot of interviews.

Animaniacs, that's good stuff. Yes, yes it is.

Yep, Stan Bush. Yeah, he emailed me back and

said that it was totally cool. Oh, to use the

music? I knew he would. I knew, but he was just

like, you know, thank you so much for asking

my permission. Of course it's okay to use. Yeah,

I mean it was short sweet to this, you know point

but uh, you know then then he was nice enough

to tweet me out which It's nice but it's one

of those things like that'd be cool if he had,

you know Maybe a couple other thousand people

following him But the fact that he did that in

itself was very cool. Yeah Yeah, Stan's always

been a real stand -up guy and I think he gets

a bad rap Because people just think oh he's doing

another song for transformers he must need money

that's not the case at all and and i i i honestly

because i've talked to the guy not not only just

through the interviews that but done but through

emails and through you know i i've told me time

he needs any kind of promotion any kind of press

releases just send me an email with what he wants

i'll make a post for the website uh... So I kind

of take it personally at this point because I

kind of have an almost personal relationship

with the guy I take it personally against anyone

that says anything bad about him because He's

not a bad guy. He's not just cashing in a check.

He wouldn't have recorded till all are one uh...

which is specifically transformers base he wouldn't

have recorded he to the battle which they used

for the war for cyber trance stuff uh... not

not in the game but he made a video with war

for cyber trance footage for that song he wouldn't

do all that stuff if he didn't know where his

fan base was all know i i mean he he definitely

knows where his fan base is my only complaint

ever with him was that it seems like he's Still

trying to stay in with the modern stuff his his

place in my mind his place is in the the G1 Cartoon

that that's where I see him. I don't think his

style and his sound works Well, I mean it's I

don't have a problem with it I just don't think

with like the live -action movie stuff. I don't

think it works Well with that's not to say that

what he does is bad. I just don't think it meshes

with that style of film. His music is different

in that regard. And that's the only thing. I

remember more so when the very first movie came

out, there was a huge lobby to get some of his

stuff put in that movie as well. And that would

have been nice. That would have been a nice homage

to all of us G1 fans and things of that nature.

To hear, you know, Dare or The Touch, you know,

in that movie. Even if it was playing, you know,

in the background on a radio or something. Right,

yeah. I mean, that would have been nice, but

nobody else would have understood it. Nobody

else would have gotten it because it's out of

place. You know, I mean... I just wish they would

have picked somebody else for the third film

rather than fucking Linkin Park. Oh, no. See,

I like the third movie. I thought the music for

the third movie was better than any of the other

two. Well, not the score. The soundtrack, I mean.

I mean, each... Right. I mean, in the first movie...

Did the Google Dows do a song for the first one,

too? No, they only did one for the third one,

I think. No, well, they did one in the second

one, too. Did they revenge of the fallen? Yeah.

Um, oh, what is it? Oh It might have been one

of their classic songs, I don't remember I don't

think they did one it was it was a new one. Um

Before it's too late That's it Here Know this

song right? Kind of but not really It was it

was in the I mean, I think it was in the revenge

of the fallen movie Before it's too late because

most of it they're showing is most of this most

of the stuff that they're showing is from The

first movie yeah, it's from the first movie Okay,

well and then unless I catch the first movie

on TNT or something I haven't watched the first

movie in like I don't know two or three years,

so So I mean there was that yeah, that was that

was in Yeah, the Google dolls yeah along with

what I've done You know, I mean it's not very

good but I mean and then I really like iridescent

and I really like Not very good music yeah, no

not at all and let me see what's in Revenge of

the Fallen album Of course Lincoln Park new divide

21 guns wasn't too bad. Yeah, but the rest of

it was crap all -american rejects who was stank

Yeah the fray come on The fucker I I have those,

you know half the the soundtracks I don't recognize

besides obviously in Lincoln Park I don't recognize

anybody like the only ones I really recognize

off of them is like the goo goo dolls or nickel

back or You know people that I actually stained,

you know stuff that I actually know the rest

of it It's like who like the dark of the moon

soundtrack. The only three author that I even

recognize is goo goo dolls nickel back or not

Nickelback, Three of a Dead Man, and Stained.

The rest of the Dark of the Moon soundtrack is

like, who the fuck are these people? You mean

Revenge of the Fallen? No, Dark of the Moon,

the latest one. Oh, I don't know what, let me

look at them. I don't even know who the rest

are. We're on here, let's see. Let's see, da

-da -da -da -da. What you got? Come on now, fool.

Kiss my ass. Oh what I? Find it funny that everybody

like there's the whole like the trailer or the

picture where Like the theatrical release poster

that has salmon um Carly standing in front of

wreckage and now optimus prime in the background

Mm -hmm, you know like that's an actual scene

from the movie. It's so cool. I'm like no It's

not that that particular scene had Bumblebee

in the background not Optimus Prime So glad I

can actually you know give you suggestions through

Skype or through Twitter rather than Being one

of those dumbass YouTube for being one of those

dumbass YouTube commenters. Oh Yeah, Paramore

chemical romance. I mean I really only liked

iridescent and all that you are Mm -hmm. That's

all I really like I Honestly do not think iridescent

fits that film at all I think that all that you

are fit the movie better You know what I've done

was fine new divide was fine for what revenge

of the fallen was but Iridescent was just it's

too slow like dark of the moon out of all three

films has the most action I mean, when they used

All That You Are from Goo Goo Dolls, they slowed

Sam's scene down. They did that in slow -mo so

that the song fit it. But Iridescent just doesn't

fit to me for Dark of the Moon. It fits in the

part where when Sam and Epps are driving into

the city and they're looking around at the devastation

around them. That's that's where I think it fits

because it's at that point where it's like, you

know You're just looking around and you know

when you're standing in the wake of devastation,

you know And you're just looking around and I

mean at that point in time. It was kind of slow

I Mean shut up. Don't argue with me. Like I said

in the beginning Like I said in the beginning

when we first heard that that was gonna we first

heard that that was gonna be the song the first

thing I said was Okay, if it's just an end credit

song, that's fine. But if it is in the actual

movie I don't think it's gonna fit and I still

stand by my opinion that I can't stand that song

Your opinion sucks So does yours. Well, my opinion

is that your opinion is crap That's what I've

got to say So are we doing something today because

I've got time I can't I have I have hockey later

on tonight and then no I'm talking about like

right fucking now moron No it right right now.

I have to go finish making dinner Which it will

be done in 22 minutes and 38 seconds Well, that'll

be the shortest Team Bonimus episode ever. Yeah,

we can't do that. That would disappoint our fans.

And in that time, I have to finish editing this

video so that it's ready to go for tomorrow.

God. Sometimes. Anyway. All right. All right,

I'll see you later tonight. Yes, because now

I have 19 minutes and 57 seconds. You'll be fine.

Well, like I said, I got to edit video in this

time, so. Kiss my ass so what? It's only been

like what? Five friggin six no it's been about

25 minutes. Holy crap because I was recording

this the entire time So at least we have some

outtakes of course of course I already knew that

but anyhow all right I'm leaving See exactly

3d needs to die, but it's actually cool It's

really not as good as it could be because the

green -red thing is not very good. It's kind

of funny though. You look like somebody from

the backwoods of Kentucky where all the rednecks

live. That's right. Oh, with my wife beater?

Yeah. No. I haven't done anything yet today,

so I'm busy. I got off by barely. Well, it is

only noon time over there, so yeah. Yeah, but

I mean, normally I would have been up at night.

It's kind of neat. I wish I could. I tried using

the Real D glasses or whatever. It doesn't work?

No, they don't have that. setting which I don't

know why they wouldn't oh wow it's a it's a tertiary

program so they'll probably have it eventually

yeah because it's really just I mean it's just

kind of like a like a blur effect almost yeah

you know in the new stuff so yeah that doesn't

work but you know then so so to test it out Before

I did this whole thing where you go you have

to go like this. Oh my god, that's That's too

much optobotomist at three o 'clock in the afternoon

Kind of look like wasp manner when he's his eyes

are bugging out. Oh with my glasses on No, when

you had your glasses off and you were like two

inches away from the camera. Oh, gotcha. Watch.

And you couldn't call me earlier because I was

on Skype with Callie. Oh, yeah. She put out the

group shot. Rim shot? Not rim shot, group shot.

Oh, I thought you said rim shot. Dumbass. Oh,

that's creepy. Um, watch my video with a cross

-eyed thing. Hey Paul, will you watch my videos,

man? Please, thanks. Freakin' YouTubers. What,

somebody said that? Oh crap, no. Hold on. That's

the wrong friggin' link, hang on. No, I'm just

making fun of people that say that. There, look

at that link. What the hell is all the trash?

Those are the doors? Wait, what the hell is that?

Oh, I know. Those are the wings. OK. Those are

the removable pieces on our seat. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. But no, that's pretty cool. That's

the group shot that Kelly did. And I was looking

at Motor Master's head. Kelly has these smaller

puggles. Gracie is the size. I could probably

fit like six Gracies inside Motor Master's head

because his head is kind of like hollowed out

a little bit or it has that hat looking thing.

If you look at the dimensions, I'm sure you could

fit smaller Puggles on inside his head. I thought

that was kind of cool. That's creepy. Why is

it creepy? I don't know. You're creepy. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, but I don't know. I mean, I didn't even

know that they did that with the 3D thing. It

says when you click on it or whatever. Wait,

at least it did a minute ago when I clicked on

it. Oh, it's... What the hell? Come on, stop

being stupid. You broke it. I probably did. It

said that it was like... Oh, beta. Yeah. It was

beta, so. Yeah. I mean, that's the same thing

with their, I think their thread, their, their

commenting thread thing. I think that's still

in beta as well, which I don't, I don't know

why that's still in beta. That shit's been around

for a while now. I mean, it actually, it looks

3D. I mean, it really kinda does. It's like -

Yeah, you've got 3D fucking glasses on, of course

it's gonna look 3D. I know, but I mean, it actually

kinda looks neat. It looks like - Like, when

I'm looking at my screen, it looks like my hands

are there. Right. I mean, I don't know how to

describe it. I mean, it just - It looks as if

my hands are - side a box hold on one second

you all good sorry oh it looks like your hands

are in a box yeah well like imagine if you will

um your your monitor is a box and my hands are

in it and that's kind of creepy dude shut up

that's kind of fucking creepy Your monitor's

a box, and my hands are in your box? That actually

makes it look better. See, I had it swapped as

if the blue was on this side. You can actually

swap it in the settings. That's why I was like,

that kind of looks weird. It doesn't look right.

So I actually was able to swap it in the settings,

and now it looks... That is freaking awesome!

I'm digging that, big time. 3Dbotamus. Yeah,

yeah. Optobotamus freaks out over YouTube in

3D. Well, it's me in 3D, first of all. Okay,

all right. Well, all right, I'll give you that.

Your fame has gone to your head. I'll give you

that. It's not my fame that's gone to my head.

It's... It's... Shut up. Shut up. Don't piss

me off. Kiss my ass, so what? Kiss my ass, so

what? I think it's cool. I mean, it's... No,

no, it is cool. I'm not trying to take away from

your enjoyment of it, but it's, you know... For

me, it's like 3D. Kiss my ass, so what? Asshole.

Oh, god. You're still an asshole. I'm just trying

to see that's the only one the one that I just

did that's the only one that has 3d on it well

like I said the program is in beta I'm sure once

maybe once it's out of beta and it's an actual

part of YouTube I'm sure that they'll put you

know I'm sure that they'll backlog it Yeah. Probably

not so far as like, you know, 2007 Optobotamus

in three parts, but like maybe like the last

six months, maybe like the last year's worth

of videos or something. So. Maybe. I mean, if

you want to really get technical, we are all

in 3D already without glasses. I mean, because.

We are we just you know, like flat blocks on

a piece of paper. Thank you very much I Mean

I am very three -dimensional over here There's

almost a fourth dimension to me I know but it

brings in a sense that you're actually there

with Is happening You need it you need to find

I got these These came with that. I literally

just ripped the damn thing open. Where is it

at? I did not open this. I'm locked in one of

my boxer shorts, so don't worry. So I literally...

I have not opened this figure yet. Yeah. I literally

just ripped this apart. Who is that? These glasses.

Who is that? This is that, um, preview Optimus

Prime for... Uh -oh. uh, limited edition preview

pack. I've had this for forever, and I never

opened it. I tried selling it, nobody wanted

to buy it, so I threw it in my closet, piece

of shit, and literally, I just pulled it out

so I could have these glasses. I'm like, because

these other ones, these are the ones that I got

actually when, um, when we saw Dark Moon BotCon.

And I was like, you know, because all the other

ones, when you go to the movies, they want you

to recycle these even though you probably don't

have to. But, you know, so I got it and I was

like, I wonder if that would work. But I didn't

see any settings for it. But then I saw that

you can do the whole cross eye thing, which gave

me a headache. Yeah, exactly. And the screen

is still small because what they do is they put

two of the exact image and you cross your eyes

and then. it's like there's three different images

and then you focus on what shows up in the center

that's that's too much fucking work it is because

you have to sit there and you really have to

like cross your eyes and then really try to it's

kind of like staring at those um at those mazes

or not mazes yeah yeah yeah no i know what you

mean for like you stared something and then an

image will pop out or whatever yeah yeah yeah

those site beyond site image gags yeah i know

yeah it's like it's like william from mall rats

it's not a schooner it's a sailboat a sailboat

is a sailboat is a schooner stupid head exactly

exactly like the new gray it makes white on thanks

don't get too used to the gray background what

red background gray background oh gray oh yeah

I mean, I did that for Ratchet because he was

a very bright neon green and white. It makes

sense. I'll use it for that and I don't particularly

like it. Well, I mean, the gray background is

good for when you have something that is all

white or bright, blinding, fucking yellow. Oh,

Jesus. It's not that bright of a yellow! On camera

it is! That's not that bright of yellow. On the

webcam it isn't, but when you turn your fucking

all your, you know, 1 million gigawatt light

bulbs on, and you're sitting here filming in

like this hot zone, I see why you wear the damn

wife beater all the time. Actually these are

those compact fluorescent bulbs, they don't get

hot. You know what the hell I meant I know I

mean I used to use I used to use giant floodlights

those things got ridiculously hot like No, that's

I know that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'd

be sitting here sweating Well, my new ones like

these like this this whole setup right here the

light bulbs I mean, I know I know that's part

of your I know that your light pole and that's

part of your thing But it looks like a goddamn

umbrella. It's like you're fucking jinxing yourself

because you have an umbrella in the house Kind

of. I mean, yeah, if you subscribe to that. Well,

you know, there's also the people out there,

kind of like you, that subscribe to the fact

that ghosts exist. Hey! Anyway. Hey. Who are

you to tell me that they don't? Yeah. Unless

Slimer comes flying through my house, I don't

believe in it. That's pretty true. And I do have

a couple Slimers up there, though. No, no, no.

I mean the actual... Real Slimer. Real Slimer.

The one that actually counts. Not the toy. Whatever.

Get my ass away. Yeah, so Halle is... She's getting

me, uh, hopefully. I sent her money and stuff.

The TF Prime thing, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

like how she's like, so far seven people want

the TF Prime stuff. I have a budget, people.

And I replied to her, I said... Look, I'm sure

people are gonna pay you for this stuff. So it's

not like you're losing out any money Well that

you know, I mean I I think at first it was Because

I just got done talking to her around probably

the same time you were actually talking to her

She thought that the figures were gonna be like

a hundred dollars And I told her I said there's

no way that they're gonna be a hundred dollars

the San Diego Comic -Con Optimus Prime the matrix

thing Was it like 50? No, that was only 20 bucks,

dude. Oh, that's right. Yeah. That was only $20.

But now here's the other thing, though. That

was for one deluxe figure. Now we're getting

two deluxe figures. Two. So it'll be like 40.

And I'm thinking 50 bucks at the most. Yeah.

That's my guess. Plus, this is the New York Comic

-Con. It's not as big as San Diego. Well, all

of the comic like, OK. We can all agree that

San Diego is the big kahuna of Comic Con. Right.

But Chicago Comic Con and New York Comic Con

are also very big for those cities. Oh, yeah.

I mean, I'm not saying that it's not big, but

I mean, in terms of... I mean, it's probably

a whole lot easier. I mean, if you don't sign

up for San Diego Comic Con, like, right away,

there's no way that you're gonna actually get

in there to go to it. there's no way and plus

unless you live close like whether it's in california

or in in nevada or like in that area of the country

also to worry about flights and right at the

flying times and all this and all that i know

from you know i know that flight is at least

three to four hours long yeah at least It's just

funny to me how stupid people can honestly get.

Yes. I'm surprised nobody's actually said anything

about the fact that I forgot to put the title

of the video in the. Well, don't jinx yourself

now. That's true. Now a whole bunch of people

are going to be like, hey, did you notice that

there was no title, dummy? Wait, which one did

you forget to put that on? That was the. Brand

new one that was the ratchet one. Don't say nothing.

Don't don't even Some controversy over here,

you know, you're gonna ruin my fun No, I have

my own fun title, where did it go? Hey, did Starscream

blow away your title? I didn't put that in there,

but. Oh, here, check this out. I mean, I know

you don't care about it too much. Why? You don't

like it, but I got all the stickers on them.

Oh. I mean, they look good. It's not that I don't

care about the figures. What I don't care about,

and this is in regards to third party crap, what

I don't care about is. The fact that the third

party stuff is oversaturating the market. That's

what I hear about. It might not necessarily be

so much of an oversaturation if Hasbro actually

came out with new stuff. We're stuck not getting

anything new for however long. We've been stuck

with the whole dark of the moon stuff. You know,

and we haven't gotten really anything new besides

that stuff for quite a while. Yeah. So, I mean,

it's not too bad, though. My only real complaint

is this is the original guy's head. Yeah. I mean,

he's got a mouth. This guy doesn't have a mouth.

Well, that's probably because that's is it shrapnel

or storm bomb this is shrapnel Yeah, that's probably

because of they didn't want to put the extra

tooling money into it. Oh Give me a break. It's

the face. I mean It wouldn't it wouldn't be too

bad to Make a mouth You know People are lazy,

you should know this by now. I know, I'd be a

lazy right now. I'm actually supposed to be finishing

filming that, and I don't want to. Yeah, I gotta

start moving upstairs. Hopefully I'll be fully

moved up there by next Wednesday. Oh, that sounds

fun. Wait a minute, you're moving already again?

Yeah. Into the permanent place? No. Oh. Wait,

what? Okay. I moved from the place that I was

at when Ben came down. Right. That two bedroom

place. Right. I moved from that place to the

place that I'm in now. They told me back in February

of this year, you're only gonna be here until

June or July, like six months. is what they told

me. After six months. Right, I remember that.

And you kept all your shit in your box. Right.

So June and July came up. And they're like, well,

that plan is not, you know, we're not actually

moving out of this building fully now. We're

going to extend the lease for another year. And

I said, look, I was told in six months I would

be in a new permanent apartment. And I said,

there's got to be something that's done with

this. Because the people that lived here before

I did, They did shitty tile job in the bathroom.

In that particular apartment? Yes. Instead of

doing an actual finishing out putting tile on

the bathroom wall like where your shower is and

stuff, they basically took a bunch of tin foil

and duct tape. i can show you pictures it's it

looks fucking horrendous and i'm like how do

you how do you people expect someone to live

in this uh... and i said look you know i want

to be moved in there like okay well we have apartment

number twenty six which is upstairs it's on the

non -parking lots out of the building i said

fine they said this is the best apartment we

have in the entire building i said fine so that's

what i'm moving to now now when the The year

extension or whatever the hell it is that they've

got now going when that's up Everybody's leaving

this building to other places so in the last

year and a half I will have essentially moved

three different times, but at least moving upstairs

to 26 I can at least unpack I can settle for

a little while I don't have to live amongst boxes

and all this and all that So you'll be there

in the new one for a year. Yeah Wow Yep, and

then moving again, so I've been trying to sell

because I don't collect DVDs anymore I've been

trying to sell my DVD shelves on Craigslist without

any any Any luck I've been trying to sell a really

nice wooden In glass cabinet on Craigslist without

any fucking luck had one person come by and look

at it, and then that was it So yeah, I got to

start moving like all the small stuff I'm gonna

start moving up there this week and just kind

of you know Getting it straight and get getting

it put it. You know we were talking the other

day about OCD right I like stuff that is you

know put away everything has its place now You

know stuff that I'm talking about is like like

I have like bags of laundry seeing as how the

of here and i can kinda you know angle the furniture

around and with me having this giant six Six

by nine foot long desk they have to take that

up there and everything else But I can't do that

until I call the cable company and set up a date

To have because I cannot go without internet

TV fine. I can go without TV. I cannot fucking

go without internet Shut up So I told the people

here I said, okay How about next Wednesday because

then I can call the cable company today and say

hey look I'll be moving to an apartment in the

same building But I need the services transferred.

So at least that gives the cable company a week's

time worth of notice to be able to fit me into

their driver schedules. So going back to the

laundry issue, because I've lived in this building

off and on since like 2006. Back in 2006, we

had like Gently used slash brand -new washers

and dryers to us put downstairs in the laundry

room Those have been the exact same things the

entire time Since we've been here and the people

that the other people that live here in the building

either number one don't know how to do laundry

don't care or They just you know, they just destroy

them all the washes and dryers didn't work so

i didn't know this the washer worked fine the

one washer worked fine i didn't know that all

the like we had one dryer working fine it dried

your clothes it got it done go down there with

like three loads of laundry one day i was you

know spend like you know four hours down there

doing laundry i get i get two and a half loads

washed go to put one of them in the dryer the

dryer won't fucking start and i know the other

three dryers don't even work Gotta be fucking

kidding me. So I call my worker I call the maintenance

people I call the manager of the build, you know,

the manager of our program that's in the building

here Well, we know about it. There's nothing

we can really do about it at this time I said

well look I have wet laundry. I don't drive I

need somebody to take just take me and drop me

off at the laundromat So I can either do it or

take me there so I can drop the laundry off to

have the laundromat people do it And they're

like, well, can you wait about 40 minutes? And

I was like, sure. 40 minutes went past. I'm like,

fuck this. I called the cab. I spent, in total,

between two days, I spent $20 round trip on cabs.

Because I called the cab, had the cab come up

there, dropped the laundry off, came back here.

That was like a $7. I just gave the guy a $10.

You know, I figure, fuck it, whatever, I'll just

give him a 10. And then Saturday, this happened

on a Friday, and then Saturday, obviously I had

to pick the laundry up because I used the drop

off service. And the drop off service is like

$1 .25 per pound, which isn't bad. It only cost

me under 25 bucks to get three loads of laundry

done. So I call the cab, we go pick it up, and

I... bring it back here and I gave the guy another

10 so it cost me like 20 bucks round trip for

a cab and all this other shit for you know dealing

with the the you know seven -year -old fucking

laundry machines here and they announced this

week that oh well this coming Thursday the laundry

room will be closed because we're finally getting

new machines and not just like not just like

quote -unquote gently used to what no brand -new

like you went to fucking Lowe's and bought Maytag,

you know, so but it's like Oh Wow see that We

we have we live we live our houses is a is a

condo unit or whatever Yeah, and did my video

thing stop working? Yeah, just turn it off. All

right. I don't know how to turn it off There's

a thing that says video camera. There you go.

Just turn it off. OK. Yeah, now I can lift my

shirt up and play with my man boobies. But we

have a laundry mat here on site. And you have

to, I mean, you have to obviously pay. They make

you pay to use it, which is stupid, but whatever.

It cracks me up because we had old machines before.

then they Maybe year ago. I want to say they

re like piled the room You know they Redid the

walls and everything and all that stuff It's

all nice and fancy and they put in new appliances.

Well, we originally were paying I think it was

like 75 cents per machine and when they put the

new machines in it, they raised the price to

a buck so piss You think that's yeah, that's

that's kind of bad but no the thing about this

building is is that back in 2005 the program

that I'm in Signed a multi -year lease with the

owners of the building So we've had this we've

had the entire building for our clients for the

past like five years, so They took out all the

old pay machines And put in just regular washers.

But no, you want to talk about laundry hikes?

My mom lived in a complex up in Massachusetts

called Fox Run in Marshfield, Massachusetts.

They had washers that were like $1 .25 to start

it, and then it's additional quarters to whatever

else. But they had $1 .25 to start. And the dryers

were like 75 cents. When they remodeled the buildings,

when they remodeled the laundry rooms, it went

from, washing went up from $1 .25 to $3 .75.

Drying went from like 75 cents to $2. What? Yeah.

Ridiculous. Wow. It's just ridiculous. It's it's

just nuts I mean, you know and you look yeah,

I don't see how anyone can go grocery shopping

nowadays I mean, you know, if you know if you're

working and you have you know, you budget out

for your groceries But I mean it's like like

when I go to the grocery store and I just want

you know A couple things that are gonna last

me a couple days Right, you know you go in and

you buy say you buy a couple pizzas you buy uh...

you know maybe some hamburger or you know something

to cook up maybe some hamburger help or something

like that maybe you know splurge on some chips

or soda or something like that you get to the

thing and it's like fifty bucks for like ten

items really seriously fifty dollars for ten

items that's that's a little ridiculous don't

even get me started on these god damn discount

cards well do you well yeah those are dumb Do

you have to pay a bottle deposit or anything

when you buy soda? I don't think so, no. Yeah,

see, in Michigan, growing up in Michigan, it

was 10 cents per bottle. So if you were to buy

a 12 pack, you got charged an additional $1 .20

because of it. Now, You can't, if you take those

bottles into a recycling center, you can get

that money back. Right. Well, yeah, that's the

same thing. That's the same thing in Massachusetts.

We had the model tax there. Yeah. California

does it out here, but it's only $0 .05 per bottle.

Yeah. See, again, the further you go back in

time, the better the pricing was because I remember

in the 80s there was it was you know 10 cents

bottles 5 cents cans right and you know you get

you know as much as I went through soda as a

kid and even now you know it's one of those things

where I remember we would We would just constantly

bag the cans, just constantly bag the cans, constantly

bag the bottles. And if you had like 10 bags

of cans and bottles, you could have like at least,

you know, 20, 30, 40 bucks. Right. I mean, it's,

you know, when you were young and you were a

kid, I mean, that's what we used to do around

in Michigan. If we wanted, you know, a couple

extra dollars to buy something, we'd go rummaging

through garbage. Looking for bottles. Okay bottles,

you know and now you know like I said living

in California I'll do it every now and then I

mean We go we go through a lot of soda not not

quite as much recently since I started taking

my medication and everything because I You know,

I mean I I'm not as thirsty I guess anymore so

I don't drink nearly as much but I mean I would

go through Literally, I mean we'd buy three to

four 12 packs a week When we when we'd go grocery

shopping and I'd be done with those halfway through

the week. I When did I go? I went it is today

is the 11th. I went grocery shopping on the fifth

I bought three 24 packs of Diet Coke and I am

just now in in four in in five in six days I'm

just now coming to the end of that first 24 pack

I think I drink like two a day. Oh, yeah, I mean

I'll drink I mean Previously I would drink God

I I drink five or six a day Yeah, I mean it just

depends honestly for me because I like I have

no sleep schedule. I sleep when I'm tired But

it's you know, it's not like when I was a kid

when you know a kid in third grade You'd have

to go to bed at like 8 39 o 'clock To get up

at like 6 6 30 the next morning to get you know

Get up brush your teeth get breakfast or get

breakfast brush your teeth and then you know

go to the bus whereas now I Was saying to somebody

the other day. I don't know if it was you or

somebody else, but I like last week I spent I

Think a total of 48 hours awake Wow, and I and

I I don't know. I just, I couldn't sleep. I was

watching TV. I came out here. I did a bunch of

editing for the podcast stuff and I was just,

I was just awake and I crashed after 48 hours.

I crashed for about six hours, woke up again

and I was ready to go for another day and a half.

It's like, I have no sleep pattern. Yeah. Mean

I try I try to keep myself at a regular sleeping

Pattern but sometimes sometimes I can't you know

and a lot of times It gets fucked up from when

I play hockey because sometimes I'll play hockey

so late That when I'm home, I'm still hiked up

and what were you laughing at asshole You are

an asshole you're gonna get people asking me

about it So Yes, yeah, yeah trying to keep a

rate and see my problem is and I I honestly think

this is it normally when I live anywhere I Try

to keep myself to I guess you would call them

smaller apartment buildings, you know apartment

buildings only have two floors That's kind of

my limit. Because I always, I have to live on

the top floor. I cannot be living on the first

floor and have people above me. It just, it's

one of those, again, it's one of those OCD things

for me. It just, it bugs the shit out of me.

But I think living here in this first floor apartment

on the parking lot side because half the time

I have to stay awake because the noise of outside,

you know, the the driveway is is like five feet

away from my patio door because it's one of those

long narrow driveways that goes the length of

the building and there's parking spots that are

basically out front you know you'll you know

to three o 'clock in the morning you'll get some

some ghetto person blasting bass in and on on

on audible rap music at like two in the fucking

morning you're fucking kidding me like i know

this area the area i live in is not the worst

area of town but it's also it's not like you

know it's not like the quote -unquote rich area

of town but i mean seriously you know people

and i know i say this all the time people need

to get some fucking common sense and i know it

never will happen but it's like oh god give me

a fucking break wait you know what i guess um

the 3d glasses the real d glasses are Type of

polarized 3d glasses they work on polarized displays

like the movies that are currently in movie theaters

to view anaglyph pictures or movies like Okay

Never mind damn it. I Don't know if that I don't

know if they'll be able to get that because I

think it's based on your monitor That kind of

sucks. What the hell? Oh, what are you doing?

Oh, no, that's just a notification. I think it's

cool that Octobotomus is in 3D. Yep. Oh well.

Alright, well, I'm gonna go have lunch. I'm hungry.

Okay. I wish I hadn't edited that show because

the last 36 minutes or 37 minutes would have

been awesome to add on to that. Wait, what?
