Motorcycle Transformers and Toy Collecting

Yeah. So I'm being a good boy. It's lunchtime.

I go to get me something to eat, right? Yeah.

You know, something that I usually have to have

people remind me to do. I'm doing it by myself.

So I go to Taco Bell. I get my food. I'm leaving.

I get into the turn lane to go left. All right.

We're waiting. we're at a red arrow so we nobody

can go and I'm sitting there la la la la all

of a sudden this big suburban in front of me

like directly in front of me decides that he's

wants to start backing up oh lord and then he

smashes into me like what the fuck now the annoying

thing is two lanes over motorcycle police officer

Does not hear this apparently and he just continues

on his merry little fucking way. Thank you very

much Huntington police Huntington Beach police

These are the police officers that will literally

stop and Pull over regular bicyclists if they're

not wearing helmets They have nothing better

to do that's what they do know he pulls over

and he ends up going into a little a parking

lot and he gets out and it's a little snot -nosed

punk -ass kid okay I'm guessing maybe I don't

know based off of the insurance information that

he gave me or the insurance papers He's on, he's

on, it looks like he's on his parents policy.

So this is, he's like 16, 17, 18 years old. Okay.

Oh my God. Now, he tells me, I'm like, I'm like,

why were you backing up in a turning lane? He's

like, well, we wanted to go over to Quiznos,

which it's on the right side. And they realized

that they couldn't get to it by being in the

left turn lane. So he was going to back up and

then cut across the lanes of traffic so they

could make a right. On to the street. Oh my god.

I get all of his information So then I go and

I look at the front of it. This is this is burns

car This isn't even my car this whole shit burn

drives my car to work because she likes it better

on it because it's bigger so So I get there and

so wrong I know I know I'm taking a bite of my

burrito. All right, so I inspect the damage.

Naturally, I ask if everybody's okay, because

it's the kid and his friend in there. I ask to

make sure everybody's okay, and they're like,

yeah, we're fine. We're fine. Are you okay? I'm

like, yeah, I'm good. It wasn't bad, because

we were, I mean, I was stopped, and he wasn't,

I mean, he was just backing up. He only had a

few feet to kind of build up speed. So, but.

He's got no damage on the back of his big giant

suburban, but those son of sons of bitches have

like this size What are those called um? Tailgate

hitches or whatever those are called. Oh, yeah

The trailer hitch the trailer hitch. Yeah size

of your fist. It's solid metal It's that thing

is not gonna get damaged by hitting a bumper

But I look on the bat or I look on the front

of burns car. There's a big giant square hole

where his His hitch thing punched right through

it And I'm just sitting here and You know and

I just you know, I mean so I got his information

I took pictures of the damage I took pictures

of the entire policy You know, so Thank God for

camera phones nowadays. Yeah, really? So I call

up I call up our insurance company to report

the whole thing. And they're like, well, now

you can go, you know, one of two ways now. You

can you can pay for it yourself, which we apparently

I didn't know this, but the deductible on our

car is five hundred dollars, which I'm like,

why the fuck is it so high? But whatever. So

we can pay for ourselves So pay that $500 deductible

then anything over that our insurance company

will pay now I don't know how much a bumper cost

So I don't know if that's a good deal or a shitty

deal You know, but you know then then because

this is no fault of mine they my insurance company

will go after their insurance company and try

there's no guarantee but they'll try to get reimbursed

and give us our and get us that money back I'm

like wait a minute you're gonna try okay so the

other option is that we contact his insurance

and we explain to him the situation and that

they have to pay for it but now I'm sitting here

thinking I'm like what if this fucking little

snot nose kid decides to bullshit You know, they

don't have any damage on their car. He's gonna

go back and he's gonna tell his dad what happened

You know what I mean? Yep, so I Don't know what

the deal is. I don't know what's gonna happen

There's I mean, there's no massive damage that's

done to the car it's a it's still functional

It it just has a giant hole now like the size

of your fist inside her bumper Yeah, but you

know I was talking about this earlier that a

couple days ago, I was like Especially in California

when you would they need to make it cuz like

every like four years or whatever You have to

go and renew your driver's license, right? They

need to make it where you fucking have to go

in every single year and Take the test again

and go driving again in order to be able to renew

your damn driver's license. Number one, it would

bring more money into our state, which is dirt

-ass fucking poor, by making them do this instead

of every four years, and it would keep idiots

from being idiots on the road. Yeah. You know,

and he's sitting there telling me, he's like,

I didn't even, I couldn't even see you in my

rear -view mirror. I'm like, why not? I was right

behind you! Because you didn't look in your rearview

mirror. Because if you did, you would have seen

me and you would have backed up into me. Yeah.

God. All because I was trying to do a good thing

and go and eat lunch. Yeah. Yeah. I gotta go

and tell Vern. In fact, I should probably text

her now. She's not gonna get it. And then she's

gonna freak out and she's gonna call me. Let

me see. Call me when you can. I was in a car

accident. I'm fine. But... Put this a giant hole

in your car. I'm not gonna tell her that. We

should talk. Say call me when you can I was in

a car accident. I'm fine, but we should talk

That doesn't let her get freaked out because

if I was just like call me when you can I was

in a car accident Then she would call me off

frantic like thinking I got hurt or I'm dying

in a hospital or someone else Yeah, that's how

she is Well, I mean that's how anybody would

react to that. I mean, I mean look at the reaction

you got on Twitter, you know What who's saying

stuff on Twitter? No, I'm Dumbass I'm saying

when you first tweeted that you were in an accident

look at look at the concern That people gave

you on Twitter. I didn't I didn't I haven't I

haven't checked it. That's all Let me uh, let

me check it cuz I always like seeing concern

Might have just been me. I could have sworn other

people tweeted asking you if you're alright.

I think it's just you! Oh. Pfft. Asshole! Wait,

why am I the asshole? Oh. Well, they're assholes.

Oh, okay. I was gonna say, wait a second, why

am I assholes asking you if you're alright after

being in a fucking car accident? There's something

wrong with this picture. Oh, yeah. No, they're

assholes. It's not no little kid Yeah The dry,

you know, we talked about this the other the

other day about certain internet sites or certain

internet things and age restrictions Driving

should be I honestly think driving should be

restricted to people 21 and over I agree You

know because here's this young kid he's with

his friends, you know He's fucking around he's

not mature enough You know to even know what

what the hell is going on, but it's like You're

gonna give him a driver's license, and I mean

that you're gonna give him what can be You know

easily used as a very dangerous weapon Yeah,

I Mean come on. You know how tall was the kid

like? He was a fairly tall kid. I'd say, you

know, like, six foot -ish. Oh, okay. I was gonna

say, because if it was, like, some little kid,

some little 16, 17 -year -old kid, that's, like,

five se - like, hasn't had his growth spurt yet,

like, 5 '7", 5 '8", driving a fucking Suburban,

a goddamn SUV, give me a fucking break. Yeah,

yeah. Just ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

You know, and I like - particularly like how

we pay all this money for fucking insurance every

month and yet When there's an accident, and it's

not my fault. They're like we'll try You know

there's no guarantee, but we're you know we're

usually pretty good at it I don't want to you

know a question if I'm gonna have to pay off

$500 You know now again if it's cheaper. You

know I mean say the bumper cost a thousand bucks

Yeah, okay, well you know sure I'll probably,

well, first of all, I'm gonna try and get their

fucking insurance to pay for it. But, I don't

understand why it's even a question. Why do you

have to, you know, if it's their fault, you just

go to their insurance and make them pay for it.

Yeah, that's all you need to do because, I mean,

it was, you know, they rear -ended you. I mean,

it wasn't like you... It wasn't like you t -boned

them or anything else you're and then plus and

again It goes to you know stupid choices and

just kids being dumb. Oh Well quiz knows is over

there. We were gonna cut Just imagine the accident

that these kids could have gotten into if they

had actually cut across well I know those lanes

of traffic, you know and You know a normal person

would have been like oh Shit all right. It's

on the right hand side while I'm in the left

turn lane well Can go ahead and turn left and

then just go down a little ways and then do a

u -turn Yeah, and come back the way that I wanted

to go initially, but no There's no thought process

there they don't think about it no people are

just stupid Even even more so it seems like in

California. Well, it is California after all

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for my masterpiece

10 figure to get here. Oh I hurried up um Because

I was um, like I said, I went to Taco Bell and

I was hurrying because I forgot to leave a note

on the door and If they came I didn't want them

to hold it and then reschedule another delivery

Yeah, it's like man. I gotta hurry up and get

home So I was trying to do this quickly like

and Then I then this happened and I'm sitting

there and the whole time I'm thinking that mother

if this motherfucker made me miss mp10 being

delivered Well open a can of whoop ass on them.

Oh Yeah, so you know and the thing that sucks

is like burn Being the teacher she does. I mean

she has to put her phone in her purse You know

put it put it away, and she can't it's not like

She she can access it right away. I mean I if

it was an emergency I could call her school,

but yeah This isn't really that much of an emergency.

I mean like I said nobody was hurt. You're alive

You don't have any broken bones right? You know

so it's Like I said you know and the vehicle

still functions perfectly fine, but It's just

it's it's an annoyance Yes, one of those little

annoyances I suppose and Yes, or all I'm just

being for all those people People asking I'm

fine the accident wasn't terrible carry on with

your lives this is not the accident you're looking

for move along yeah nothing to see here nothing

to see here move along what is this bullshit

about lindsay lohan posing nude in playboy supposedly

she's gonna be in an upcoming issue as just a

like a cover or I don't know don't gonna be hanging

out in a spread I don't know I honestly don't

care you know she was kind of cute when she was

younger oh I agree but I mean the whole the whole

drama of that entire family I mean it's I just

This this tweet says This is from today's bullshit

On Twitter says nothing hotter than a beer guzzling

coke snorting necklace stealing probation violating

bitch Depressed Darth which is a pun on being

a depressed Darth Vader says a long time ago

in a galaxy far, far away. Lindsay Lohan posing

nude in Playboy would have been exciting news.

Oh my. I honestly do not care. Lindsay Lohan,

that whole controversy, her going back to court,

her breaking probation, it's not a scandal I

really give a shit about. she needs to be thrown

in jail and just made an example of this this

constant bullshit about her going in violating

this violating that um obviously if you weren't

fine you wouldn't be tweeting or you'd let us

know otherwise fuck you asshole who said this

hold on radish i don't know oh i don't follow

that person so hospital with swine flu and i

was still tweeting I mean, obviously, hold on,

obviously, you don't know me too well. What was

it, two years ago? Yeah. Two years ago, I was

lying, laying, whatever, lying in a hospital

with swine flu and still was tweeting. So Lindsay

Lohan, I mean, all this, you know, what, what,

what kind of, wait, what's that? Okay. Nevermind.

Um, another thing that really kind of annoys

me about the whole thing, uh, is that she constantly

keeps going in. There's constantly new shit that

comes up and constantly let free. Yep. How much

bullshit does she need to do before they're like,

okay. She's a psychopath. She needs to be put

in jail Not that I want any you know not that

I want this to happen But maybe she needs to

kill somebody before they realize holy shit.

She's a nut job. Yeah Oh my god Yeah, but any

of those celebrity scandals, I just don't give

a shit I don't give a shit about the Lindsay

Lohan scandal I don't I didn't give a shit with

the fucking Britney Spears Kevin Federline bullshit.

I didn't give a shit about nipple gate I didn't

give a shit about any of that crap. What what

is nipple gate? You don't remember nipple gate.

No You've you've on you you honestly are telling

me you've never heard of nipple gate I might

have heard it, I don't, that particular, what

happened? Hold on, I gotta make, I know my facts

are right, but I wanna make sure that I can give

you some, let's see, I love Wikipedia. Well,

it is a wonderful thing. I just searched Nipplegate

and it pulls up the exact article I'm looking

for. The Super Bowl 30. 38 halftime show controversy.

So Rule 38, which is broadcast live on February

1st, 2004 from Houston, Texas on CBS Television

Network in the United States, was noted for a

controversial halftime show in which Janet Jackson's

breast adorned with a neck shield was exposed

by Justin Timberlake. any of these celebrity

like what really are honestly what really interest

me i saw this on i think it was on the every

now and then i will watch the network just because

there's nothing else on that like two in the

afternoon and sometimes they'll have like either

you know uh... a true hollywood story or they'll

have some sort of interesting thing there was

uh... there was one interesting uh... thing that

they did on on people winning the lottery and

then and ending up either killing themselves

are going on killing sprees because they won

the lottery or something like that uh... which

is that's so in itself but they had something

on there uh... like the the top ten most infamous

celebrity murderers or something like that or

celebrity deaths or something and This wasn't

like celebrity like it was like, you know people

that knew the celebrity and there's another scandal

thing I like watching that kind of stuff sometimes

but as far as like just celebrity scandals in

general I don't care. Well, you know what's annoying

and I Get I'm still eating so I apologize but

um One thing that's kind of annoying is living

where I live, it's like, and I don't know how

this is anywhere else, but the show on TV, the

TMZ show. I don't watch that crap. For everywhere

else in the country is entertainment. For us

here in California, that's like a fucking news

show. Seriously, I mean everybody I mean when

I went back to Michigan a few years ago You know,

of course everybody's asked me. Oh, you're from

California. Do you see celebrities blah blah

blah, you know It's they watch it and it's a

form of entertainment Whereas out here in California

it straight up is like a newsfeed and and Everybody

watches it. They probably watch that more Then

you know like out in the Midwest. I mean, I remember

this with like my grandparents You know the evening

news would come on. You know they watch they

watch real fortune jeopardy and then the evening

news and That's how it was You know in terms

of TV viewership in the Midwest. That's what

you know people Did I suppose you know and now?

You know and they would watch like I said that

you know the 10 o 'clock news or whatever I would

hear I would guarantee you more people watch

TMZ than they do watch the regular news. Yeah.

And it's disgusting. It's absolutely pathetic.

You know, the whole, you know, any time anything

celebrity related happens, it's plastered. Forget

the fact that, you know, soldier number X died

today, you know, while trying to save his country

from a nuclear bomb. You know, it's, oh my god,

Lindsay Lohan is gonna pose nude in Playboy.

And then it's always like, in other news, President

Obama signed this bill that now makes nuclear

weapons completely illegal. Well, he probably

would do something stupid like that. I mean,

that's just an example. I mean, they put shit

like this before anything else. I mean, when

Michael Jackson died. Say what you will about

Michael Jackson. I mean I've made my point about

him clear many times but You know when he died,

that's what everybody talked about That's all

they talked about And there was a lot of other

news that was going around at the time and since

he that's that's the most fucked up thing I remember

that day because That was the day I believe,

yeah, that was the day I went to see Iron Man,

the first Iron Man movie. I went to the theater

to see it. That morning, the news of Farrah Fawcett

passing away happened. And then that afternoon,

just as I came out of Iron Man, the Michael Jackson

news hit. As soon as the Michael Jackson news

hit, nobody was reporting about Farrah Fawcett's

passing anymore. It didn't matter that she passed

away. They moved on to the next thing. Oh wait,

what's that noise? You know, but I mean that's

that's the way that you know society in general

works, but it's even more amplified Here in Southern,

California, and it's really annoying. I mean

I get I can almost guarantee you it's 130 right

now Bet I can turn on the news and they're probably

talking about the fucking trial for the doctor

guy that killed Michael Jackson Yeah, you know

And I understand that Michael Jackson is An icon

for you know, you know, whatever your opinion

is of Michael Jackson be it good or bad There

was nobody who cannot deny that musically Michael

Jackson is an icon There was nowhere in this

world. There was nowhere in this world. You could

fucking go to the depths of Antarctica. And you

could find someone who would know a Michael Jackson

song. You could go to the surface of the moon,

and you could find aliens living, and they know

Michael Jackson. Probably because, you know,

when they send out all those, you know, weird

ass radio waves and stuff, you know, like, we're

searching for alien life forms, so we're gonna

send out... you know, whatever. I mean, it's

like, what was the joke? One of the first broadcasts

ever was during, it was from Adolf Hitler during

some Olympics. And that went out into space,

and somebody made the comment, like, oh great,

so if aliens ever, you know, come across that,

their first impression of us is gonna be from

Adolf motherfucking Hitler. I mean, whatever.

It's it's so incredibly stupid how You know,

I I just I cannot like outside of like Sports

Center or baseball tonight or something like

that. I cannot watch any news even local news

I can't watch it. I I follow at WLKY which is

the one of the local Hearst television incorporated

CBS affiliates here here in Louisville, Kentucky.

It's one of our It's our CBS affiliate So we

have ABC, CBS, NBC, all that crap. But I follow

them on Twitter, and they're a news outlet, so

they're going to post local news. And half of

it, I'm not going to read the actual news articles.

I'm going to read just some of the posts here.

Man indicted in toddler beating case. Blasting

to delay Gene Snyder traffic. Suspect charged

in thefts from Ford dealership. This is all very

depressing news. Why would I watch a newscast

and I'm not specifically singling this news station

out I'm saying any news station I do not like

as a kid I used to love watching the news because

I used to love watching it for the sports and

the weather even the sports and weather are depressing

I'd rather just look on my phone to see what

the fucking temperature is out rather than watch

a weather report on television and oh my god

the fucking weather channel that shit puts me

to sleep oh yeah you you you can't watch that

that's no that's all sorts of wrong on many different

levels but it's you know I mean we live in a

very depressing place I mean this time and Place

that we're you know living in the 21st century

is a very depressing place. That's why you know

I was actually watching The I bought the the

blu -ray releases of the more famous Charlie

Brown movies, you know great pumpkin Charlie

Brown Charlie Brown Christmas and Thanksgiving

one and I was watching it and I was just I was

just having fun You know and I was sitting I

was like Wow It's it's so relaxing just to kind

of forget all the depressing shit that goes on

in the world and just sit here and watch this

and and have fun with it and it It was it was

so it was so liberating for a little bit, and

then you know I come out and get into a car accident

Yeah, I mean and see that's the thing that's

one of the reasons even though I create podcasts

to review stuff That's one of the reasons why

I watch a lot of TV or I'll watch a lot of cartoons

or I'll watch a lot of movies Just because of

just to get away from life and a lot of the stuff

that we do so I mean it's uh you know like you

said it's nice to get away but uh you know I

mean the unfortunate reality of it is we you

you come back and all this and all the shit's

still here you know I mean you can only you can't

run away from your problems because they're always

waiting for you when you get back you know and

uh I don't know. It's just annoying. So annoying.

You know, and I'm not even trying to... You know,

I was kind of... I mean, I'm kind of serious,

but I'm kind of just poking fun at it. But it's

like... You know, they're like... You know, all

these people on Twitter that, you know, are talking

about the car accident. And they're like, well,

obviously you're okay, otherwise you wouldn't

be tweeting. That's not the point. The point

is, you know, if a friend of yours says he was

in a car accident, you do like what you did,

Mike, and you're like, well, are you okay? Yeah.

You know, you don't just ignore it. Yeah, you're

not supposed to ignore it at all. You're supposed

to make sure that people are fine. That's kind

of like that day that... Oh, what the hell happened?

You were either... I forget what the hell you

were doing. You were coming back from... and

you end up in the hospital at some point recently

in the last I don't know six months there was

something where something happened and you were

like you had fallen asleep or something or else

and you slept for like half the day yeah I had

to go in because they were worried that my appendix

was about to burst oh that yeah that's what it

was and you know We had seen that you were tweeting

you were tweeting you were tweeting and then

nothing for like eight hours And Ben and I were

actually texting back and forth. Well, he's either

sleeping it off He's keys home or it's maybe

more serious or you know, hope it's hope he's

alright, you know this anything I mean, that's

the case to get really worried if I know this

is bad, but I hate to say this because this just

what this world is nowadays if somebody stops

tweeting for even a short period of time, there's

something wrong. Right. Well, and you know, I

mean, people are hopefully I don't have to make

it aware, but when we go on our when Mern and

I go on our honeymoon, I am not taking my phone.

I'm not taking my computer. She's going to have

her phone, but her phone doesn't have like internet

or anything. She's got like an old fashioned

No Kia something or other I swear that doesn't

do jack shit I'm gonna be gone for an entire

weekend with nothing Absolutely nothing. I'm

not like I said, I'm not gonna take I might take

my phone just in case of like an emergency But

it's going in her purse and it's not coming out

You know, or I'll just I'll just keep it turned

off the entire and see and well I mean in that

case in the case of a honeymoon in the case of

a vacation, you know You let people know ahead

of time, hey, guys, we just had the wedding ceremony.

We're going to be going on the honeymoon. If

you don't hear from me for the next three days,

I'm in wedded bliss. That's just the way it's

supposed to be. But in situations like if somebody

goes into the hospital or if... You tweet something

like say a major car accident not that you were

in a major one But you know and then you don't

hear from that person for like 16 hours 24 hours

two days five days Then you know something is

fucking wrong, right? Right, right. No, but I

mean and that's all well and good, but it's a

matter of You know If you actually were paying

attention, you know regardless of how I said

it, you know to you know, whatever You should

at least be like, are you okay? I mean, what's

so difficult about that? Yeah. I don't know.

There just seems to be a lack of compassion in

the world. And, you know, then things get twisted

around like, oh, because you're tweeting about

you're an attention whore. Like, whatever. People

can be so dumb. I know. Just so, so dumb. I agree.

I agree. But, you know, it's the way it is, it's

the way it goes, and that's the way the cookie

crumbles. Yes, yes it is. So I think we're gonna

head to a voicemail from Salem where she's asking

us about motorcycle transformers and we'll be

back after that. This voicemail is for Teen Bottomless

Variety Hour. Hello, hello, I'm Salem Blood.

And my voicemail question is, how do you feel

about motorcycle transformers from any genre?

I'm talking go -bots, transformers. Good Party

knockoff transforming motorcycles from Kamen

Rider. I think they had a few. transforming motorcycle

robots as well as any other Gestalt and, you

know, any transforming motorcycle turn to robot.

The best example, it has to be animated Prowl.

At least when he transformed into a robot, his

robot silhouette was sleek, nothing was hanging

off of him. can move his articulation easily

without anything getting in the way, like maybe

a big giant wheel hanging off the side or parts

of his motorcycle mode hanging off the back milk.

He is an absolute sleek robot when transformed.

And in motorcycle mode, just as sleek. No kibble

hanging off any part of prowl. Perhaps the back,

you can kind of see his fingers, but that's pretty

much covered by his arm guards that cover his

hands. The worst example would have to be maybe

the motorcycle RC from the movie line. Those

look like junkyard Frankenstein experiments gone

wrong. They didn't even get the body right. They

looked like twisted forms of what should be beautiful

female robot forms. Turned out they were twisted,

deformed, two -armed wheeled things. Yeah, bad

example of a motorcycle transforming robot. Anyway,

what are your thoughts on this? Do you have a

better example of a transforming motorcycle again

from any any robot incarnation and i would like

to hear your opinion and your worst thank you

for listening to this voicemail i will see you

in the podcast universe bye bye it's not hard

to knock them down it's getting them to stay

down that's the trick $40 I mean I'm gonna buy

it I don't have You saw the picture I saw the

Pixar shelf, you know, that's got everything

with the exception of Finding Nemo because I

Don't think they've ever made Even remotely close

decent. What do you what do you what do you get

for a display for that? I would literally need

a little fish aquarium up there with real -life

fish, which would it be a bad idea? I Don't know

if that I don't know if that would support that

much weight. I don't know um Where did you see

this this $40 Revo tech? It's not big bad toy

store. Oh Yeah, um you know so so there's that

And I also don't have Monsters Incorporated because

Rebel Tech also did some of those. Mike looks

great, but Sully looks really bad. I definitely

don't like Sully. And they have a brand new Wall

-E one from Rebel Tech, which I'm absolutely

gonna buy because number one, I'm a whore for

everything Wall -E. Yes, yes, you are. And two,

I'm hoping that... They finally have it where,

and I'm looking at this, and the two pictures

that they have, I can't even tell. But I'm hoping

that finally somebody made it where his arms

can slide on those tracks at the shoulder. You

know how he did that in the movie. I'm hoping

that someone can do that, and that would be awesome.

I absolutely love WALL -E. Everybody knows that

I love WALL -E. Yeah. This... It's a fucking

fish! It is a fish! How can a fish have articulation?

Okay, so I mean, so it can have fins, right?

I mean, it's got the fins that can move. Let

me go back there. But you know, my biggest concern

is, with Revoltec stuff, I hate seeing them because

they oftentimes, you know, they destroy the illusion.

You know because where they put the joints this

actually doesn't look all that bad Yeah, I mean

I can't I can't really see the joints But I mean

it literally looks like it's got articulated

fins It looks like its head might be like you

might be able to move his head left and right

Yeah, it almost looks like there's articulation

points at each of where the like white white

stripes are Yeah, and that's that's about it

and it looks like it's hidden pretty well But

then I'm looking down here and there's a dizzy

Dory. Why is Dory smaller than Nemo? I No clue

I mean, I mean it says it's an accessory You

know it comes with a dizzy Dory as an accessory

Okay, which makes no sense because Dory was her

own damn character. She should have her own damn

toy without being an accessory Well, you know,

I mean Dory needs their own toy Marlin needs

his own toy. I mean, I don't care what anybody

says I love Finding Nemo finding Nemo is but

not about me. I mean Nemo is not the main character

in that movie Yeah, I mean it's Dory and Marlin.

Yeah, the main characters so Sure, give us a

Nemo, but also give us a full -size Dory and

a full -size Marlin. Otherwise, I will be extremely

pissed off. Now, the only Reveltech figures I've

ever had, I had a Reveltech Rotomus and I had

a Reveltech Megatron. Yeah. And they weren't

anything what I thought they were going to be.

I thought it was going to be, uh, you know, multi

-jointed die -cast metal. And it was fucking

plastic and I was like, are you serious? Oh my

god, and I'm sorry I cannot justify paying $40

for a fucking fish I'll do it. Like I said because

I do not have a Nemo right, you know But I mean

and I mean I love Nemo finding Nemo is one of

my favorite movies but you know the rebel tech

i mean they're not i mean i have one rebel tech

and i have the um the uh captain jack sparrow

which i really do like and i really do want the

um uh the jurassic park uh tyrannosaurus rex

isn't that thing like four hundred dollars though

no it's only six hundred it's or it's only 60

bucks oh you're missing on twitter something

about four hundred dollar jurassic park Those

are the old vintage toys from 93. Oh, okay. Um,

but uh The the the the the the rebel tech t -rex

is only like I think like seven and a half inches

tall I Think let me see. Oh, no. I apologize.

It's seven and a half inches from the nose to

the tail So I mean, and it doesn't look too terribly

bad. Yeah. But I mean, if you look at that, I

mean, you could definitely see where the joints

are. And it's kind of annoying. And I don't like

that look. That really upsets me. But I want

Jurassic Park toys. I know you teased me about

it earlier that, you know, you love when I get

like a new movie or something that I want to

get the toys from it. And it's true. Oh, wait,

wait, wait. Speaking of toys. Alright while he's

doing that ladies and gentlemen, we at the GeekCast

Radio Network, as I said last episode, we are

branching out and launching into a whole bunch

of new podcasts the end of this year, beginning

of next year, so be sure to check all those out.

Be sure to go over to geekcastradio .com, check

out our site, we have a bunch of cool different

things on the site. Did you get your MP10? No,

not yet. I thought I thought I heard the UPS

truck, but This is probably something else, but

yeah, so um Yeah, keep cast radio network. Whoo.

Yes, damn, right? Okay, so we're gonna talk about

motorcycle Transformers, right? Yeah, Salem you

you heard before we came back into that random

discussion of rebel tech fish Salem Salem blood

Send us a voicemail, and she wanted to know our

thoughts on motorcycle transformers. They're

dumb. Okay, well there you go, ladies and gentlemen.

That's it for that topic. What's next? I mean,

motorcycle transformers are not my personal favorite.

Mostly because they're always, for the most part,

always deluxe class figures. they're always too

big and you know now we've gotten scout class

motorcycles that work nicely because they're

smaller but you know and we've gotten some human

alliance motorcycles that while the motorcycles

work the robot modes are absolutely terrible

on those things but now like for example my most

recent motorcycle bot was the transformers prime

rc which I like the figure. But again, in robot

mode, a motorcycle should not be as big as a

Camaro. That's just not how it works. It's obnoxious.

And then even with that, when you transform her,

in robot mode, she's bigger than the deluxe class

Bumblebee from Transformers Prime. Right and

she should really come up to just above his waist

like in between his chest and his waist like

around his Abdomen area that's you know in terms

of scale that's where she should be I I know

I don't consider myself a huge scale junkie,

but some things really do bug me and motorcycles

have always been annoying to me, and it's It's

always been like that. I mean It's mostly because

the bike is too big in that in that mode, you

know robot mode I can usually kind of ignore

it but you know and that was Really kind of I

mean from I'm trying to think I You know, I don't

know if we got a lot of motorcycle transformers

Say before transformers animated I'm sure we

got some in, you know, the various other series

and stuff, but I didn't pay any attention to

those. And there was none in D1. Well, yeah,

the first ones we ever had was, you know, Rattgar

and the Junkieons. I'm sure there were plenty

of them in... Well, and then the next one that

I remember in animation and toy form was... Oh,

what the hell is his name? thrust from Beast

Machines so there is that and then I'm sure there's

plenty of them in that crappy Unicron trilogy

and then animated you had oil slick and Prowl

yeah and Prowl I personally don't like motorcycle

transformer stories I don't mind the motor I

don't I don't mind motorcycle transformers in

animation I like them in the animation they don't

trans well They don't translate well to toys

for me. They just don't. Go ahead. I was going

to say, but why? Why don't they do it for you?

I don't know. It just doesn't... Specifically,

Prowl and Oil Slick, the motorcycles themselves,

I just don't like the way they look. The robot

modes are great, but I don't know. And Prowl,

is it sidecar really necessary? Really? Oh, you

mean... I mean it's great that Prowl has the

armor but they could have figured out a way to

you know another way to incorporate it into the

vehicle mode other than it being a sidecar for

Christ's sake it reminds me of the of the bat

motors the the bat cycle from 66 Batman that's

don't even do that what don't bring that I can't

handle the show. Bat star propellant, bat copter,

bat computer, bat shoehorn to take your boots

off, you know. The bat latex condoms and, you

know, the bat suppository. Yeah, yeah. I mean,

everything was bat this, bat that, and bat your

mother. But, I mean, I respect the show for what

it was. what it gave us right but you know and

maybe if I was young when it came out me I know

maybe maybe if I was alive when it came out I

would probably appreciate it a little bit more

but it doesn't work for me you know the lenses

do the lenses of age and and I don't know taste

um it definitely is not a good representation

of the uh our our favorite caped crusader i always

like the bam pow zoey i always like those though

in the fights it's always fun you know and i

mean that's a way to hide the violence too right

well yeah exactly exactly you know i mean one

of the um one thing that when i first watched

Man, I would love a transformer toy from you.

That is a wish. It won't come true. What? I don't

know. A kid just sent me a message on Twitter.

He's... His name is H -U -Y. He... He follows

me, Emgo, Piaw, Tom Hanks, um... Gunningham?

What? The Gunningham Museum? Okay, and he follows

Martha Stewart. Wow Yeah, and he sends me a tweet

um Well, let's see he has tweeted two things

in his time on Twitter And the first oh, no,

I'm sorry. He's he has tweeted three things he

says and Gomez is Having a contest for the NYCC

Bumblebee and pink RC. I'm guessing that's mgo

one is Hey, mgo, when is the video gonna be posted

about the contest? I'm excited, but I probably

won't win. If I do, I would be so happy. That

was nine hours ago. Two minutes ago, he sent

me a message that said, man, I would love a Transformer

toy from you. That is a wish. It won't come true,

I bet. I bet you're right. Yeah, but I'm not

gonna say that because then Octobotomus is an

asshole. As well. Don't care TFG when Mike is

an asshole and it's it's well I produced this

goddamn show and I can say whatever the fuck

I want Even though I edit out other stuff Which

then in turn people asked for I told didn't I

tell you people would want to hear it I Know

I just like this, but no, I don't want to you

know ruffle any feathers just in case Certain

people listen to the podcast rucka rucka rucka

They're saying just putting out there but yeah,

so motorcycle transformers typically Typically

fail and and fail pretty hard in my opinion the

toys. Yes. Yeah I Should I should clarify the

toys. Yes. Yes. The animation is awesome. Yeah

Mean well the ones I mean I didn't see any anything

else. I mean obviously wreck ours pretty cool.

You know I like oil slick I like prowl Motorcycles

I love RC in Transformers prime Those are the

only ones that are come to mind right now Even

even the end even in the movies the RC triplets

or whatever they're I don't know their fucking

names. You know, they weren't too terribly bad.

I mean, they were barely in it. You know, but...

That's why they weren't too terribly bad, because

they were barely fucking in it. No, but I like

what they did. I mean, they gave us Deluxe ones,

but then they also gave us the Human Alliance

versions, which are smaller and scaled properly.

Yeah. That works for me. I really want a nice...

They're not called Scout class anymore. They've

changed it to like... Legends? No, it's like

cyberverse commanders. Oh yeah. They're commander

class or whatever now. I would really like a

nice commander class of Transformers Prime RC.

Because that would be around the right scale.

Even if you left RC as a deluxe, and like you

said in your video, had a Voyager class bumblebee,

that would be fine for the scale size. But then

here's the inherent problem though, because bulkhead...

is a Voyager class figure and Optimus Prime is

a Voyager class figure so if they don't come

out with leader class versions of those two then

then again now your scale is fucked up yeah and

that's one thing as a Transformers fan people

say it all the time oh you're a Transformers

fan oh okay and you're also uh you know you also

like scale oh well I feel sorry for you that

You know because transformers toys they don't

scale properly. I mean you have to take you know

things from a whole bunch of different lines

just to get them Scaled properly, right? You

know I mean a lot of you know, I mean realistically

when you compare the figures, you know leader

class Optimus Prime iron hide those work But

almost every other deluxe every other human alliance

figure Should be deluxe size Yeah, I mean because

bumblebee I mean bumblebee really only comes

up to about Optimus Prime's waist in the movie

Yeah, so that's really that's really how it should

be but you know I mean So it's like like I don't

even have Like on my shelf right now where I

have all my human alliance figures. I don't even

have Optimus Prime there Because having optimus

prime there kind of blows the scale out of proportion

You know And that and that's really the only

one I mean you can either increase the size of

all of them or make a bigger optimus prime So

my my jetpack optimus prime is on a different

shelf on the other side of the room right underneath

where You know all my masterpiece figures are

which I showed you on Twitter Yeah. Yeah. You

know, but... And they're coming out, they're

re -releasing the two -pack that came with the

Buster Prime and the Jetfire. Oh, are they? Yeah.

Which I'm actually kind of excited about because

I want that Jetfire. My Jetfire, from way back

in the day, broke. It fell off of a shelf and

fell on my head and broke. And... We always knew

you had a hard head, Paul. I know, I know. Well,

the entire shelf fell down and I tried to save

them. You know, so the whole shelf fell down

and I was underneath it trying to grab them and

save them from falling all the way down to the

ground and Jetfire bounced off my head and then

fell. At that same time all my masterpiece figures

were also fallen and I was able to protect those

so I'm happy with that sacrifice, but I Wanted

I wanted to get these the only way that you could

get the the Takara version with a better paint

job of Jetfire was to buy that two -pack with

the buster optimus prime But I never really wanted

the buster prime because I already had the regular

one I was like you know that chrome looks nice,

but that chrome um on his feet it's gonna end

up scraping. Oh yeah. So I was like because the

front grill of the truck was the underside of

Optimus Prime's feet. So I'm like I don't want

that. So I never ended up getting it. It was

always like $200, $250 or something like that.

So anytime I was like I want to get this but

I want to keep that. Does anybody want to go

in half with me and you know get the Optimus

Prime? But nobody ever wants to take me up on

it. So I say fuck you so what? And now... It's

it's like a ridiculously expensive piece. It's

like $400 and Now they're re -releasing it so

I probably will just buy it and then keep that

Buster Optimus Prime in his vehicle mode, which

Isn't too bad. I guess I Mean if I could if I

could get a trailer Without having a you know

that that is nice and silver like a Takara one

or something Yeah, I'd go I'd go for that because

that the ultimate prime That trailer is a perfect

size for the Leader Optimus Prime. But again,

then I would have to buy an even more expensive

version of a toy that I already hate. Just a

trailer. Speaking of masterpieces, are you going

to get the Coronation Starscream? I probably

will. I mean, I have the regular Walmart release

version of it. Mm -hmm, um You know and I like

some of the minor improvements that they made

to it Yeah, you know and I mean I love I love

the whole cape idea. You know now my biggest

can you know? Really though. I mean if I'm thinking

about this from a logical standpoint I could

just buy the third party one that was made a

few years ago, and that comes with a cloth cape

Yeah, you know This new one from Takara, what

is it, MP11A or whatever it's called? No, it's

just MP11, Masterpiece Coronation Starscream.

Okay, the, you know, it comes with a really nice

cape, but it's hard plastic, you know, so, I

don't know. Well, I mean, the cape, I mean, yes,

I know you probably want to have him for the

coronation scene, but the cape is removable.

You could just have him wearing the crown and

not have the cape even on him. I mean, I mean...

You can't have the crown without the cape on

them. I mean, that completes the whole look.

That's how it is. But, you know, I don't know.

I don't know. That'll probably be one of those

impulse buys. At $159 .99, it probably would

be for you. Well, shut up. It's like, yeah, as

soon as I favorited a certain video review a

couple weeks ago, you're like, you're like, God

damn it, now I want the WinRater. Yeah. I mean,

that actually looks really nice. I was surprised.

Yeah. I mean, they did, they've done an amazing

job. It just aggravates me so much because they

put so much love and attention, and now granted,

you know, people are buying their stuff more

than they are the Ghostbusters stuff so I mean

you know and we talked about this before on an

earlier episode where you know the money isn't

there you know to do tooling and stuff yeah do

new figures and that's fine I understand that

you know the Masters of the Universe stuff has

that money it has that backing it can afford

to do that kind of stuff but God damn it, if

you're gonna make a vehicle, you better fuckin'

have plans for a goddamn nice big old castle

gray skull. Okay, now, did you ever see the news

item I pointed out to you about that when you

said on Twitter, when I pointed you to the news

item, you're like, why are you sending me to

that he -man .org site? In that news item, basically

what was said was, that was when I was telling

you about the figures that were announced at

New York Comic Con. Horde Prime and Snake, Man

in Arms. There was another announcement in that,

that, you know, we are still looking into a film.

Castle Grayskull will not happen unless it is

a movie year. The only way that they can justify

doing a brand new castle gray skull is if it

has movie money backing it That doesn't even

make any sense though because it's Well, no,

I guess that doesn't make sense because if they

do that the reason why they would do it was because

if a movie comes out All the toys are gonna be

retail Yeah, so this wouldn't even be a classic

Castle Grayskull. This would be a re -envisioned

movie version of a Castle Grayskull. Well, I

don't know if it would just be a re -envi...

I don't know if it would just be whatever was

in the new movie. I think that they would give

us a vintage... I mean, they have. They realized

that... Mattel realized earlier this year that

no matter what, you know, they didn't even really

need... rights from Filmation if they had ever

made that toy previously or if they owned part

of the license previously they could still make

that toy hence why we got Filmation looking Catra

hence why they gave us you know the very first

ever Adora figure you know so they have the rights

to this stuff so I'm sure that they would give

us a vintage version I don't think they would

honestly because all their vintage stuff is released

through Maddie Collector. The only time that

they incorporate Masters of the Universe stuff

in retail is when they package them with fucking

DCUC shit. Because that's the only reason. That's

the only reason why people buy those because

of the DCUC stuff that it's packaged with. My

question is, would DCUC ending after wave 20?

My question is... It's not actually ending, it's

just being... it's ending in stores right right

that's that that's what I mean after wave 20

DC Universe classics are no longer going to be

at stores good so my question now is if you're

gonna do masters two packs are we gonna get you

know Masters of the universe, you know, are we

gonna get MOTU GBU? Are we gonna get Ghostbusters

universe figures? I highly didn't wasn't there

a Masters of the universe crossover with Ghostbusters?

The real Ghostbusters? Don't I don't remember

honestly, I don't I could be just talking on

our ass. I don't but dumb Yes, it's it's just

I Honestly don't think the two packs are gonna

continue. No, they're not They're done after,

I think, She -Ra and Supergirl. It's either She

-Ra and Supergirl or Merman and Aquaman. I think

they're done after those. And seeing as how we

are recording Team Bottomless episode 8, Jake

Underscore Vernon on Twitter says, Well, so do

you, sir, for listening. Jake is a cool guy.

You know and the other really cool thing and

If you could this would be very nice. I'm you

know in the show notes and everything Calvin

I forgot his last name, but he goes by Calvin

Lynch. He got his team bottom his t -shirt and

He went today this cracked me up He took the

paperwork to buy his house today, and he went

wearing that t -shirt. Yeah I thought that was

really cool. Oh, they have a little Uncle Scrooge

Disney figurine. Wow. It's just a little statue,

but it's Scrooge McDuck. That was a big favorite

of mine, DuckTales. I really like DuckTales.

Yeah, DuckTales is awesome. That was really fun.

I liked a lot of those. DuckTales, Darkwing Duck,

Halespin I liked. I just saw Chippendale Rescue

Rangers on DVD. I didn't actually buy it though.

I probably will. The problem with me buying DVDs

of movie series and stuff that are older. Like

for example, I have the first volume for Silverhawks.

I probably haven't gotten through half of those

yet. And that's funny that you mentioned that

because I believe the second volume is finally

coming out eventually I know I know and I'll

probably buy that too. It'll end up sitting there

I still haven't even gone through I don't think

it watched all of my Transformers Matrix box

set I know I haven't what I had I know I haven't

gone through and Watched all the Beast Wars ones.

Yeah, so I'm just lazy. Yes. Yes you are What

is this? Wow, I forgot what I said to this asshole.

Oh, that's right. He was like He was replying

to my well, I was tweeting when I was in the

hospital He's like wow, I only just follow I

only just started following you here. So yeah

miss that one Well, then don't open your mouth

Know your role shut your mouth Know your role

jabroni Rudy poo candy ass Where is that clip,

dammit? I don't know. Oh, here it is. No, wait,

that's an image. God dammit. No, I'm looking

for a... I saved a certain clip from something,

and now I can't find the damn thing. Lovely.

I've got too much crap. Like, I create a folder.

Like, if I want to get rid of stuff on my desktop,

I created a folder just called Stuff. And I throw

anything, like anything that I have on my desktop

that I'm not using, I just throw anything in

there, so it's like... It's just weird. Oh, what

the hell? Harley? Oh yeah, I remember that image.

Never mind. What? Ew. No, Harley Quinn, you moron.

Yeah, I know. I'm still thinking, ew. Why? Because

I don't know what image you have of her. Oh,

it's just something I saved off the internet.

Somebody drew her sitting in a chair in a red

business suit. Oh, I'm looking awful. With a

short skirt. No, it's not pornographic Harley

Quinn image. What the hell is wrong with you?

Is it pornographic to be racy? Well, you know,

in the fourth series of Batman the Animated Series,

she and Ivy were kind of close, so there is always,

you know... True all this in a super villain

action their mind creations terminus hexatron

Which is a hexatron? Well, it's hex Well, basically

it's a third party version of six shot. Oh God

Which I don't know that could be interesting

Well fucker is big though they say that's about

Leader class bumblebee size and that doesn't

actually look that bad. The picture is kind of

like just a clear prototype Mm -hmm Wait, yeah,

I actually really like the way that looks That's

not too bad there sir Yeah, he's actually bigger

than leader -class bumblebee I Know you're not

a big fan of the third -party stuff No, not really

Yeah, well, you better get used to it, sir Do

what? You better get used to it What the fuck

is that supposed to mean? That's really all we're

gonna be getting here for a while A lot of third

party shit What? Oh, the um... Oh wait, what

is this one? Stop playing it porn! No, it was

a sound effect. Porn? No, coin sound effect.

Oh. Thought it was porn. That was not fucking

porn. Anyway. What? Oh my god, you're nuts. All

right, what else do you want to talk about I

don't know I think that's about it yeah, I think

we covered Salem's Motorcycle discussion and

your Accident thing you got that out of the way

and glad you're okay with that word I still have

not had fucking UPS come and bring me my oh wait

Did you check the delivery status like that means

anything I'm about to look right now on UPS I

have I have four different apps for tracking

things on my iPhone It says that it's still out

for delivery So I think that's gonna do it for

this episode of the team bottomless variety hour

I think the way we're gonna start doing stuff

not really on the show, but as far as the as

far as the art Steve Megatron had taken the the

image that that Jimmy boy had made the black

image the black background with the white text

and made made art for it right I recently had

him grab the white background with the black

text and make 300 by 300 podcast art out of that

so what we're gonna do is Uh, the black version

is for the even episodes, the white version is

for the odd episodes. So if you want to be odd,

use the white version. Okay. Yes. Sure. For now,

you are... I'm the motherfucking bottomless.

I am TF2 and Mike and we will see you folks next

time. Star scream this is bad comedy Megatron

is that you here's a hint
