Toy Collecting, YouTube Struggles, and Podcast Friendships

Ladies and gentlemen, since I, TF2, and Mike

produce and edit and do everything to do with

the Team Botomus variety hour, I've made an executive

decision and kicked Optobotomus off his own podcast.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Nah, I'm just

kidding. Paul will be on the show, but, uh, Bob

Gilmer... and Kevin Bollinger, Darth Devious,

and I am terming Bob, unless we come up with

another nickname for him, I'm terming him Slime

Blower Bob, since he loves Ghostbusters. So he'll

be Bob Slime Blower Gilmer. For this episode,

we recorded two hours plus, a little bit. And

we just wanted to get a feel and a test for what

the three of us were going to sound like as far

as chemistry and everything else. Since I recorded

it and it was two hours of fun, I figured why

not make it Team Bottomless Variety Hour episode

13. Please note, the audio quality from Kevin

and Bob isn't the best in the world. It's not

horrible. It's not unpublishable. But there are

times where Kevin you know fades to the point

where it sounds like he's at the end of the dark

tunnel and Biff is you know careening down in

the Ford convertible or Excuse me. I don't have

the the model of Ford that Biff drove in back

to the future You know readily at my will and

beckon call to figure out what the name of the

goddamn model of the car is So and and Bob was

actually Mr. Slime blower was actually using

Skype through his new iPad He's professional.

Haha. So Here you go team bottomless variety

our Episode 13. I hope you guys enjoy it. Why

throw away your life so recklessly connections

out there Singapore or something and He's like

here take this I'm like Dude, I can't afford

to pay you because he was asking 40 bucks for

it because of how much he paid for him I said

I can't afford it. He said you pay me whenever

you can said even it takes six years from now

you pay me so then uh shortly after Christmas

I said to him. I still don't know when I got

paid you for that optimist prime He goes I forgot

all about that consider it your Christmas present

Like I love the toy like I love a lot of the

toys and I love the fact that a lot of people

not a lot of people but some of the people that

have been fans of us at geek cast radio that

have sent me stuff and and and that's all well

and good and that's awesome, but I just can't

justify Going out and buying toys anymore. I

just can't I'm you know I turned 32 this year

a couple months ago and I just have kind of lost

the interest and, you know, I don't have... 2008,

2009, I had essentially a very fully disposable

income. I was making about, I don't know, $2

,000 a month with the job that I had and after

losing that job... because they had to cut back

on budget and everything else you know I just

don't have the extra money now to be going and

spending on toys that you know as I said earlier

that I would essentially just go to sell them

three or four weeks later because I just don't

know I don't know I like I still love the art

of toy collecting, but actually doing it, no.

And the whole thing with fucking Maddie collector.

Oh God. They put left a bad taste in your mouth.

Yeah, essentially. Yes. And I don't care if they

report me to a collection agency whatsoever because

I've since quote unquote lost my credit card

and I've never updated it with them because I'm

no longer getting figures from them because of

that. You know, it's just like one of those things

where honestly, the Turtles classics that they

announced and showed off, that was going to get

me back in. But at the same time, I still can't

justify spending money on stuff that's just going

to sit on my desk. You know, I just, I kind of

grown out of it, I guess. I still love watching

Paul's reviews and Bob's reviews and I've seen

a couple of your stuff, Kevin, but I don't regularly

watch them yet. I've only got 70 videos. I've

only got 118, but most of mine are all paranormal

stuff from all the investigations. I think your

wife needs to be more present in your channel.

That was much funnier when Candice was on. It

was like, no, you're not opening this. She tells

me that so much dude. I can review a toy a day

for a whole year with all the Star Wars stuff

We have but I can't open them because they're

hers. It's kill me Just luckily I got to do the

episode one figures that I did because we had

doubles Yeah, that I can't open anything She's

like the biggest Star Wars guy, you know nerd

in the world and I look at him the wrong way.

She goes crazy on me It's like the dark of the

moon record figures. I can't I can't review them.

They're not mine. They're hers Do it She doesn't

want to do it. I asked her should you want to

redo it? No Whatever. I'm trying to get my wife

to do more But you know, it's hard for her to

do it because she's like in public eye with being

an author And if she says something the wrong

way, you know, she could lose a lot of readers.

It's weird Well, yeah, no, I mean, you know and

I'm not saying that you know She has to say the

wrong thing or whatever else, but I mean I just

thought it was so funny That you started a review

and then all of a sudden here she comes is like

what it's kind of like, you know Bob got his

hand caught in the cookie jars like what the

hell You know, you know, I think that's the part

that is the funny part of it Whereas it's not

so much her doing reviews. It's her catching

you at attempting to open figures for review.

That's the funny part well i don't think people

want to watch just inbox reviews so no not usually

i mean because people want to see articulation

and and all this and that and yeah i can't really

do that in the box which i have a bunch of videos

you know like the star wars unleashed figures

you know i i would love to open them but yeah

because she keeps going like she'll go on ebay

and go hey that one's worth like 80 dollars now

Don't touch it So Bob did it really upset you

um Last week when I passed you with subscribers

It's just it got me thinking and then I you know

after you and Paul talked to me It made me think

about why am I doing it in the first place? Was

I doing it to try to become a youtuber quote

unquote? You know and make money off of it or

was I doing it just? the love of doing reviews

and showing people my collection and i think

i was going down the wrong path i was going to

the dark side and it was just getting me frustrated

come to the dark side we have cookies you know

it's like because i do that monitor monitor monitor

triangles yeah i i check my how much money it

makes every every video i i check it all the

time like i i can't help myself and like sweet

i made 50 cents today woohoo! I actually stopped

monetizing my videos because I was like you know

what you have to really watch what you're doing

all this other stuff I said it's just not worth

it for the for the you know 50 cents or whatever

it is I would get yeah I think one day I made

like two dollars and I was like celebrating I

was like I might hit a hundred no I'm not I'm

not even at a hundred I've been doing it for

like six months now and I'm only like $75 total

I haven't even gotten, I've got about seven or

eight dollars. I stopped. It's like 100 every

month or something like that to get paid anything

over $100. Yeah. That's that's kind of what they

don't tell you it's like oh your video has 5

,000 views become a partner on YouTube and you

could earn money and Then it's down there in

the fine print, but you have to earn up to $100

before we ever pay you anything you fucking moron

Exactly, and then you know I'm like What the

hell it's like the latest review. I just did

it only has like 70 views on it or something,

but my daughter does those stupid McDonald's

Happy Meal toys. Like, she did the Little Ponies,

and it has almost 200 views already. Well, to

be fair, everyone likes little kids when they

do stuff cute, and everyone at this point loves

My Little Pony, so. Yeah, my daughter's My Little

Pony video is getting close to a thousand views.

Yeah, it's just amazing. Like, this stupid McDonald's

Smurf toys that we did, and it's just us playing

with them. And just doing a little skit at the

end, it has like 14 ,000 views on it. I just

don't get it. I'm not even anywhere close to

anything else. You know why I got started doing

reviews? I was bored. I had a camera that I wanted

to just see if it could actually take video.

And I wanted to teach myself how to use some

editing software. And one of my goals now is

I want to make a small documentary. um on an

ocean liner that's sitting here parked in philadelphia

and i actually i actually got permission from

the people that own it to go over there and film

by there or if it's haunted no yeah i go there

right well i'm from philly so you know fort mifflin

and all all those you know well i don't know

you might when did you move out of this area

uh bob oh 15 years ago ish you know you moved

out just as that ship was brought in that ship

was brought into dock in 1996 yeah so it was

the exact same day that I got married that ship

made it to Philadelphia nice I'm from I'm sure

you know we're after to Pennsylvania's like right

near Lancaster Lancaster yeah That's that's where

my parents are there and my whole family sir

Like I said next time you get back to this area

we're going into the city and having some cheese

steaks or something Heck yeah, it takes me 15

minutes 15 minutes to get to Center City Philadelphia

from my house Nice. I used to live on South Street

Yeah, I think out of all my videos the The three

most popular ones are a podcast version of a

Phineas and Ferb movie podcast I did, Cars Tune

Tokyo Mater, and Achmed Talking Doll. They all

have 31 ,000 views. Good Lord. Do you get a lot

of news on your podcast stuff? Because I see

you post them on there. You know how long or

whatever. The Phineas and Ferb one is really

the only one that has got major, because it's

Phineas and Ferb. The other ones, let me just

look here. Let's see, video manager. The Batman,

Tooncast Beyond Episode 15, got 31 views. I mean,

there's not a lot of them. Batman year one got

no that's the trend where the hell's damn thing

I've got like 68 did I put doom yeah I did put

doom on here doom got 66 so no they don't get

a lot of views and again I don't do it because

I you know I would love to have the views that

you know people like like Paul and like Pia and

like vault matrix get but I would love to have

those kind of numbers but I just do it just to

have fun with it and just to say hey go check

out this podcast if you like podcasts and really

that's all my channel is now is I'll put together

a video mashup of images and I'll put the podcast

episode audio behind it and that's all I do I

don't even like going on camera anymore like

when I when I do rants I point the I point the

camera at the Puggle Formers and I'll just talk

into the microphone and just rant about stuff.

I just... I've just lost the interest in like

actually reviewing stuff. It just... I gotta

give it to you though. I do love the ones when

you go off on Maddie because it's very entertaining.

Like the last latest one you did I was rolling.

I was just like, oh my god. It's awesome because

you're just like, you fucking morons. Well, it's

like they just don't... first of all you know

the left hand must be stroking somebody else's

balls while the right hand is stroking your own

because they don't know what the hell they're

talking about half the time you know there was

one time I called them and I told them the order

number and they repeated back to me an entirely

different number I'm like no this is the order

number and it's like you know hello my name is

Abu welcome to the Maddie collector how may I

help you you know The customer service is not

US based whatsoever. You know, and it's like,

fuck, you fucking people don't know what the

hell you're talking about. And that's exactly

why I'm glad I am done with them. I know a lot

of people miss those rants, but it was literally

making me physically ill, stressing out about

whether I was, you know, and I, as I said in,

in the rants in the podcasts. I did budget out

for having each figure each month being taken

out of my bank account. I did budget out for

it. So it wasn't like I was driving myself to

financial ruin. But because of all their changes

and mix ups, it was like, you know, well, fuck,

what am I going to do now? I have to make sure

I have enough money in this account. So I have

to sell this, this and this and this and this.

You know, to make sure the shit's in there and

then I have to turn around and sell the damn

figures I don't even fucking want. Fucking January

figures, those goddamn Star Sisters. Fucking

Nazi bitch figures. No one fucking wants those.

You know, the Star Sisters were in one, like,

five seconds of one She -Ra episode. They never

made vintage toys of them. And I can understand

them wanting to, you know, make the line go further

with Masters Classics, but... there were plenty

of other three packs that they could have put

out this year than the fucking star sisters.

And I, you know, like I was saying, it was just

making me physically and mentally unstable and

ill and I just couldn't deal with it anymore.

And it was, it wasn't healthy for me. So I said,

fuck it, I'm not dealing with it anymore. I'm

sure eventually down the line, once they catch

on to, oh my God, this dude hasn't paid us for...

Whatever but you know, I don't know. I just I'm

glad it's it's over and done with Well, I know

how you feel like with the Ghostbusters, you

know, I got the original Why we paint the same

frickin figure over and over again just put a

different head on them and you know 25 bucks

Apparently from a marketing standpoint toy guru

said that we only did start we only got the Ghostbusters

license to do the characters that everyone knows

from the first film and then we branched off

and did essentially, you know that that Christmas

for pack from Ghostbusters to all of the ready

to believe you things are there essentially repaints

I mean, they're not remolded. I mean, the head

sculpt might be a little bit different, but they're

not individually molded figures. They're all

repaints and redeco's. But it's like, you know

people kept at you know, like hey the Ghostbusters

line can continue if you guys would just do The

real Ghostbusters designs in the six inch line

and they wouldn't fucking do that and they're

like, oh well people don't remember that Kids

aren't gonna want to buy that and I'm thinking

you're fucking Mattel the only thing that kids

buy from you fuckers is lesbian Barbies and Hot

Wheels everything else is online adult collector

it fucking says on every fucking box adult collector

not for children and you're worried about if

people are going to remember dark green suited

Egon from the real Ghostbusters or whatever color

Egon I don't remember off top my head it was

but it was pink and gray Okay. All I know is

one of them had a dark green, tealish suit. I

forget if it was Peter Egon Ray or whoever. Right.

I don't know. But it's like, you know, Ghostbusters

was so mishandled and they went ahead and it's

so fucking stupid. They went ahead and told us

we have to meet this quota in order for a DC

Universe club to even be available. They didn't

meet the goddamn quota, they went ahead with

the club anyway, and then cancelled the Ghostbusters

club. Yeah, which is ridiculous. So fucking stupid.

I just don't understand, like, the toy people,

like, even Transformers, you know, how many repaints

of Bumblebee do we really need? You're floating

the market with crap, why don't you give us something

that we want? But see, here's the difference

with Hezbro and Mattel. Transformers has never...

there may have been one or two years where we

haven't had a Transformers line, whatever it

may be, but Transformers over the years has never

like gone away for an unexpected amount of time.

You know, you had the vintage He -Man toys with

Mattel, you had the crappy new adventure stuff,

and then you didn't have anything else until

the 2000X line, and they completely failed. with

the 2000X line, hence why they went to an online

only line with Masters Classics. So the difference

here is, yes, Hasbro does have its problems,

but Hasbro has been having problems for years,

whereas Mattel has had numerous problems in just

four years of doing online collector stuff. Speaking

of too many bumblebees, somebody on Facebook

and one of the groups I'm in, Yeah. ...was sent

a picture somebody took at their local Toys R

Us. Yeah. The only thing hanging on the pegs

were bumblebees. There were Dark of the Moon

bumblebees, Cyberfire bumblebees, First Edition

bumblebees, and Robots in Disguise bumblebees.

And I am talking there had to have been about

a hundred on these pegs. Wow. That is overkill.

That's overkill. Let me see. The thing with Hasbro

is that they... Optimus and Bumblebee, for the

Autobots anyway, are their key characters to

promote to kids. You know, that's just the way

it has always been. And that's why, you know,

stuff like RCs and Ratchets and Rotimuses and

Megatrons and Dinobots and Grimlock and Swindle

and, you know, whoever. That's why all those

other ones get short -packed because they want

to make sure every kid in the fucking world has...

multiple fucking bumblebees see now my youngest

my youngest loves bumblebee as a character what

he wants right now is rc he doesn't want bumblebee

yeah and my three -year -old loves jazz because

you know he sees me oh that's jazz i want jazz

and you know he goes i don't want a bumblebee

i already got four he he's even catching on he's

three and a half you know it's just As long as

you don't teach him that Jazz has a Matrix, I'm

okay. That's what's wrong. Jazz doesn't have

the Matrix anymore. I took it off of him for

you, and now Optimus has him. Oh, thank God.

Because Jazz is too cool to have the burden Hardest

to bear. And I can't wait for the toy to come

out, the War for Cybertron game, Jazz. Yeah,

that looks awesome. Yeah, it does. That whole

line looks awesome. That whole line was awesome.

I don't know why they stopped it. I don't know

they didn't stop it more for Cybertron. It isn't

stopped. Well, no like the toys that I you know,

they had optimus and sound wave and Megatron

Right, but that's all right. I'm being clipped

up from both the equipped up are really weak.

Those are bad, right? The transformation on bumblebee

and clip jumper is bad, but the figures overall

I like both of the alt mode and the the vehicle

mode or the alt mode and the robot mode the thing

with the the war for Cybertron part of generations

They said that they were only going to make those

Figures as a test to see if people want more

and we are getting more What I wanted for more

for Cybertron never happened was I wanted to

see seekers You know, they're always talking

about seekers and you know how all you know,

there's so many seeker fans out there You know,

I wanted to see more for Cybertron. That would

have been awesome Well, they are there is a war

for Cybertron star skin coming out the beginning

of 13 and it is phenomenal looking Even as a

prototype I was just like yeah, that's going

to my collection But Starscream is my favorite

figure so he's probably I Think I have more optimist

prime figures than I do Starscream just because

there's more optimist prime figures available

Yeah, but I have a ton of Starscream's Yeah From

little teeny tiny ones to that great big one

from Cybertron. Oh boys Speaking of teeny tiny

ones. How about that? How about that Legends

class Starscream that somebody tried to set on

fire that failed? I love when he does videos

like that because it's so hilarious. He needs

to do some more. He does them so rarely. When

he put that Starscream in the freaking garbage

disposal and the pieces were shooting back out.

Yeah. Yeah, I was just going to say that when

he threw it in the garbage disposal and then

he took it outside, I was rolling. My friend

IceflipCocoLiso on YouTube, I talked to him on

Facebook as well, but he did a review recently

where he got one of the two packs from Walmart

right around Christmastime and it had laser beak

and side swipe in it from Dark of the Moon and

he hated the side swipe so much because that

figure sucks. He smashed it right there on his

review box. while it was on camera, pieces going

everywhere. Break it off. He would just break

it into pieces. He's like, this sucks. And he

gouged out all the cardboard on his review box.

So every time he uses that review box, I'd just

start laughing. It was funny. I remember, because

I had gone back and I had watched animated season

two. Don't know. This is a couple Christmases

ago. It's good number years ago. I think it was

like 2009. Yeah, it was like 2009 and I Had gone

to Walmart because like right before Christmas

time Everything animated was on discount at Walmart.

I think I got blitzwing for like five bucks So

I get blitzwing home and I go to Unbox him and

this is before Hasbro went from the plastic twist

ties to the the bread kind of You know frayed

twist ties they have now The like brown rope

stuff that they have yeah, yeah, this is before

that This is when they had the like the the hard

twist ties and I'm sitting here trying to To

get him out of the packaging and i'm like this

isn't working i had to half transform him and

i had to cut around the different things and

i'm like oh my god this should not be this hard

to get a toy out and then as i'm trying to get

him out pulling him out twisted almost my entire

left thumbnail off Oh my god, you've got to be

kidding me this figure better be fucking gold

if it's gonna nearly injure my fingernail and

then you get him out and his guns wouldn't stay

on you're like No, I got stayed on the only thing

that was confusing me was the panels on his arms

because at first I thought they were just supposed

to sit behind him and Not on the sides of his

arms But no just getting him out of there it

was a fucking nightmare Whenever I have those

wire twist ties in some of the older figures,

if I get an older box figure, I just get the

wire cutters out. I'm like, I ain't playing this

game. Snip, snip, snip, snip. Yeah. Yeah. It's

like the battle in space, the hot rod. Oh my

god, that set is so bad. Yeah. The hot rod just

falls off. what's even worse is not even the

battle in space two pack it's the challenge at

cybertron three pack that was bad as much as

i love the cyclonus and the rotamus in that getting

that galvatron out the galvatron when i went

to get it out the fucking arm just came fucking

left arm just came completely off i actually

fixed that on mine and that is the galvatron

i've got on display because i sold my regular

classics galvatron to a friend of mine and then

Because I ended up, somehow I ended up with four

freaking versions of the classic Cyclonus. Well,

that's because there are like six different versions

of him. I ended up repainting one and the people

on TFW voted to call him Devcon because he kind

of had that look to him from even though that

guy never got a freaking toy ever. I had the

challenge of Cybertron. Set and hot rod and cyclones

are just sitting in it. So my friend bought it.

He knew Galvatron wasn't in there He's like I

give you 40 bucks for the set and whatever There

you go My I got lucky with my battle in space

that both of the figures were perfect. They don't

have any problems They don't nothing falls off

of them. They're nice and tight I already had

a classic Rodimus, but that's my protector armor

right now See, I liked what they did with the

repaint of Rodimus for the challenge at Cybertron,

because it looks more like Hot Rod than it does

Rodimus. I never had the original classics Rodimus,

the one with the purple windows and the weird

dark red paint job, I never had that one. I like

the one that they had in the challenge of Cybertron

3 pack and I love that challenge of Cybertron

Cyclonus. That is easily the best Cyclonus figure

we've ever had as far as the colors and everything

else. And that Cyclonus actually fits in with

Animated as well. See, my Cyclonus, when I got

it out of the 2 pack for Battle in Space, the

nose cone broke right off. I can't put it in

robot or I can't put it in alt mode. It stays

in robot mode all the time. I don't know. I don't

like the little nose cone on him. I actually

don't like that. The rubber bar. Yeah, Mike broke

completely right off. I think without it, the

front end of it, he looks like one of the Viper

fighters from Battlestar Galactica. I didn't

even think of that. And my Rodimus is horrible.

His arm falls off and the gun doesn't even fire.

It never fired from day one. The little jet thing

that comes out of it, the flame. You just have

bad luck with figures. Yeah, I guess. I don't

know. I shouldn't buy figures at Walmart anymore.

Yeah, no. You know, the Collector's Club sideburns,

it is a pain to transform them because the chest

parts never want to want to collapse in with

each other. I have to put a lot of force on them.

So he stays in robot mode. Uh -huh. But yeah.

I think the one regret I have from collecting

is having to sell my Chattered Glass Rodimus,

because that was by far the best Rodimus ever.

He was from the BotCon 08 set. Oh. I like how

they're doing setter glass this year too. Oh

God don't get me started. I was gonna go I was

all set up my my brother -in -law lives in Dallas

and we're gonna stay at his house and drive to

10 20 minutes to get there and Then I seen all

the figures and all the crap that's been going

on. I'm like, no, I don't think so Yeah waste

the money and even go I don't have the money

to even get in Yeah Though somebody was gonna

try and get me a press pass to get in like I'd

rather use it for a closer convention. It's me

and my one buddy. He has his own web show and

Our friend Rosemary is gonna get us press pass

to actually go into the New York Comic Con here

this year Nice That ought to be fun where the

four of us are gonna carpool together. We're

gonna stay in the same hotel room together and

just That's that was the plan. I don't know how

it's moving along now, but that was the plan

Is that the girl that dresses like the the Baroness

or whatever? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I follow

her on Facebook Yeah, she's like a sister to

me. She her her and her boyfriend live like 45

minutes from me. So we hang out a lot That's

the videos you were doing the Starscreams little

voice, yeah Yeah, okay. That was in her house.

That was in her house. Right, okay. Yeah. Their

house is insane with toys. Oh my god. Whoo! The

basement's full of toys. The attic's full of

toys. Every bedroom's full of toys. The kitchen

even has toys hanging on the wall. Crazy. The

money the collectors spend is ridiculous. Yeah.

Yeah, it is. It just... You know, when you think

about like how much money that toy collectors

spend on toys, you know, that could be college

tuition for future children. You know. It's like

with Paul, you know, he always complains about

not having money and stuff and then you see,

you know, he goes out and just blows it. I'm

like, dude, you were just talking about getting

married and you didn't have money. I just don't

understand it. The other day he puts on Twitter

that he's got too much money. And then I said

something, he goes, I've got a sickness. I said,

yeah, you do. You're addicted to plastic rec.

God, it's so funny. He is the most impatient

person I know. He is. Self -admitted, he admits

it. yes he does and I know it doesn't I know

it probably bothers him but it really irks me

more and it really has nothing to do with me

at all is all these morons that try to tell him

stuff that he already either knows about or has

found out about already through you know other

avenues and it's like you know people will post

on on the Facebook wall and it's like really

you're gonna like oh god somebody posted the

other day if if you were Optimus Prime in Dark

of the Moon would you have killed or spared sentinel

and I'm thinking first of all Paul wouldn't have

been Optimus Prime second of all that is no bearing

on anything his videos do anything his fan page

does any of his you it's like People ask the

stupidest questions, and I don't know if it pisses

him off, but just every time I see shit like

that, it pisses me off to no end. Did you see

the one for today that he did for Panthero? Yes.

Did you see the comments? People were going,

oh my god, how did you mix that? How did you

get the guy to say your name and this and that?

They don't pay attention. I know the answer to

that one. I was planning on reinterviewing Larry

Kenny because the Thundercats series was hot

and new and everything else and he was in a few

episodes of it as Claudus. And right before I

sent Larry the email, Paul comes out and says,

oh, hey, guess what my buddy Darth Devious got

for me? And then it was the Thundercats thing.

And I'm like, OK, how the hell can I one -up

this moron? And then I went and I sent Larry

an email. I'm like, hey, can you do an update

interview with us about Thundercats? And I had

Paul on. I'm like, here, here's your birthday

present, you asshole. All I did, Paul asked me

if I could do it. Yeah. Talked to Larry every

once in a while. I don't talk to him as much

as Rose does so I asked I asked Rose if she could

ask him for me I said I said I said yeah, I said,

you know, this is the last thing I want to do

to any I said I never want to ask you for this

and I said it's actually making me sick asking

you but Do you think you could get Larry to do

this for me? Yeah I mean, you know, sometimes

they will do it and normally how I go about getting

promos from people is I'll ask them for you know

Genuinely, I want to talk to them and I want

to interview them for different podcasts that

geek cast radio network has Because I want I

want to talk to these people. I've been doing

interviews for the last four years now I started

my very first interview was Stan Bush and I've

been doing interviews ever since and normally

I just go through the professional way and I

look you know look for the agent information

and say hey I have this podcast that you know

our website gets anywhere from six hundred eight

hundred thousand hits a month would this person

be able to sit down on this day this day in this

day and there are some times where I will ask

for promos before and but most of the time I

will let like if the if the person actually emails

me great the Skype call dropped lovely Shit yeah,

it's on Bob's end Maybe his iPad died Bob's iPad

died But no, I'll go through the professional

route and if the if the person that I'm interviewing

contacts me I'll say hey You know, we have about

20 questions for you. Is it also possible for

you to do these promos for us? But I usually

ask at the end of the interview if we have additional

time I don't want to ask for something before

the interview is done But no, I mean, you know

Rosemary is she's awesome She does all kinds

of awesome stuff with the GI Joe fandom the Transformers

fandom pretty much all geek fandoms But you know,

I mean she designed the cover to Dan Gilvizan's

book for Christ's sake Yeah, I actually knew

about that book and the cover and all that Yeah

months before anybody else did I was the only

person she told about that. She's like if you

say anything She's like I will never be able

to tell you anything ever again. I'm like, who

am I gonna talk to? yeah well that's the same

thing with me it's like right now i'm sitting

on crucial transformers prime information that

i cannot tell anyone of a certain person coming

in to do stuff on the show um and yeah it's like

it's killing me because i want the fucking scoop

and i need to actually email i need to i need

to facebook the person and say hey what episodes

are you going to be Whatever and can we please

I want the fuck I want to scoop TFW. Damn it

Seriously Rose is more like a sister to me. It's

just like, you know, we've known each other about

five six years now Been hanging out together

probably for the last three so She day after

Christmas me and my family went up to see her

and we she took us out to lunch for the day and

then we went just hit some stores and just hung

out things like that yeah so right now though

um her cousin passed away yesterday so she's

not sorry to hear that yeah she's not uh doing

so good yeah sorry to hear that that's not cool

at all um but no so All right. Well, I think

we just inadvertently got 37 minutes for a TB

VH episode Last 37 minutes and 50 seconds Wow,

we did a podcast and didn't even know about it

Our first official podcast Bob, there you go

What days did you want to do it? Like once a

week or once every three weeks? That's completely

up to two of you and you're all schedules. You

guys are the family men. I'm the single douchebag.

I can record at almost any time. The only nights

I'm normally not free is Mondays and Thursdays

because that's when I do other GCRN shows. But

I can record at almost any time. Well, this worked

fine for me because usually on Fridays, I don't

have anything planned the next day. Kids are

always in bed by now, so it's quiet in the house.

Wife's not home from work yet. So I pretty much

can do whatever I need to do. And this works

fine for me, because during the week I work,

and then Saturdays I always investigate Saturday

nights and stuff. So Friday nights work great

for me. So I mean, if we do it weekly on Fridays?

That that's fine because I can I can have it

up the night the following Monday night is probably

when I would have have it uploaded because I

do all the the posting and the creating posts

and links and everything else and Steve Megatron

actually uploads the stuff to the RSS feed so

I usually don't talk to Steve online on Skype

between Friday and Monday because he actually

has a life unlike me You know, so usually Monday

nights is when we get together and do other recordings,

and I can send him files then, so probably, you

know, Monday night, Tuesday morning is when the

episodes would go up. And as I said before, you

know, Paul, you know, himself, Mr. Octobotomus,

he, you know, I'm sure he'll be on at times and

everything else, and I think that we need to...

have him on to kind of have the four of us, you

know, kind of introduce the new direction of

the show, which people have just heard. As far

as just the total random stuff and bringing in

the team members and all that stuff from team

bottomless. So I actually heard about it before,

before I actually talked to Bob about it. I saw

that like reading about it now. Yeah, I was like,

hey, I guess. We thought about it on Facebook,

talking about old guys and just different random

stuff. And then and then bob was like I think

we should limit it to 35 and older and i'm like

that's effectively knocking paul and myself out

of even talking about it since i'm 32 and paul's

33 and i'm like I think if we make it people

who are like 25 and over that's fine. That's

that's more that's more of a a buffer because

you still have You know people that were born

late 70s early 80s all the way up to you know

mid 80s like 86 and 87 and stuff like that. So

uh... you know what does that make the oldest

that uh... shit bob what's your age i already

know paul's mike's what's yours my age uh...

i will be thirty nine and like two weeks oh shit

you have only got a few months i'll be thirty

nine in november yeah and i'm thirty nine in

april so yeah we're the same age we were born

in seventy three so Like he's 39 though Bob sounds

and look like he's still 25 They found out how

old I was they're looking at me and they're like

You're not almost 40 like yeah, I am No, well,

you know if it wasn't like you're 25. I'm like

I'm 38 I get that all the time. Yeah. Well, you

know if it wasn't for the creepy bow tie I would

almost confuse you with Larry Kenny Speaking

of that picture The other day a friend of mine

from New York who I used to work with writes

me a message on that picture He goes who's that

guy in the picture with you mind you over Larry

shoulder. It says Larry Kenny So I told him who

it was and Larry immediately gets on there goes

you would have thought the first clue would have

been the name over my shoulder Larry is so funny

Larry Larry is an awesome awesome guy So then

him and I started just talking back and forth

through that picture it was just funny because

he wanted me to point out to my wife that he

put happy birthday on her page and That he wanted

to know how the kids were because he absolutely

loves my kids Yeah, even though the first time

I met him my oldest son Alex was pushing my youngest

son in the stroller and almost knocked Larry

down Your kids nearly ran over Larry Kenny Wow.

Yeah, Larry had to jump out of the way real quick

and Yeah, he still remembers that That's awesome

Yeah, Larry Larry is is one of those voice actors

and what I find it's It's voice actors that are

the most accessible. You look on Twitter and

Tara Strong is everywhere, Rob Paulson is everywhere,

Maurice LaMarche is everywhere, Kevin Michael

Richardson is everywhere. You know Larry's everywhere

all over Facebook and you know, I think every

year for the past three years I've gotten a birthday

wish from Larry Kenny every year and that's that's

so awesome. He was the first one to post happy

birthday I'm on my Facebook page this year. Yeah

on mine He posted it like four hours before the

day change and I was like, thanks Larry. You're

a day early, but thanks Kevin Michael Richardson

now I started talking to him on Facebook one

night. Now, I was a fan of him and his voice

work going back to where he was on a show on

a history channel called Trains Unlimited. Yeah,

that's going back. That's going back to like

the mid 90s. Now, what's funny is my wife and

I are actually for a split second in one of those

episodes because where we lived up in New York

at the time, there was an old steam engine that

would come by Yeah, called the 614 and it would

go through Port Jarvis, Port Jarvis, New York

and The guy who owned it would do what he would

call flybys He would go to the turntable turn

it around and come by as fast as he could Back

the train up come by as fast. He'd do it a couple

times. Well one day the History Channel people

were there filming it and We happened to be standing

there right when the train comes by as they were

filming it and when I saw the episode like a

year later, I'm like Holy crap there. We were

standing So I told that to Kevin. He's like Well,

that's pretty cool Look just happened to be in

the right place the right time Yes, that is that

is so awesome You guys all the fire going on

yeah Louisville, Kentucky. There is so many fire

engines and ambulances. It's not even funny.

It's a daily occurrence. I don't know what's

wrong with this goddamn city. I thought you were

under a tornado watch again or something. No,

that's a different siren. Yeah, I know that siren

well. Every Monday it goes off. Living in Wichita.

Oh, God. You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, every

Monday at noon they test them. No, it's not.

It's like, God. Okay, here's the thing, and I've

said this on Team Bottom as before. The apartment

building that I live in is like right behind

a Rally's in Steg and Shake, and then right in

front of Rally's in Steg and Shake is the four

-lane main road. At the time, I was living on

the other side where the driveway is for the

parking lot, and it's one of those driveways

where you go straight up and back, and there's

a parking lot in the back, but there's spaces

in the front that's horizontal parking. And people

would, you know, blare gangster rap music at

2 a .m. So would I rather have that or listen

to sirens all day long? Give me the sirens. Let

me get a police scanner so you know where they're

going I Wonder Skype has a plug -in for that

I don't know. I know there's an app for it. I

just downloaded an app for everything I've never

had a pad before you know one of these tablet

things and I was going through and the first

thing I did was ghost hunting You know In the

last few days, I managed to get my next four

video reviews all rendered and everything. So

I'm actually ahead for the next two weeks. Getting

ahead of schedule is very, very good. Well, I'm

in the middle of writing a very long article

from my blog on the sinking of a Titanic. Yeah.

And I want to have it loaded on there by April

14th because that's the 100 year anniversary.

Actually, April 12th is. No, it sank April 12th.

No, it struck the iceberg at 11 .40 PM on April

14th, sank at 2 .20 AM on the 15th. I've been

studying it since I was eight years old. Don't

even look it up. That's OK, Rose. Rose, don't

leave me. Hey, Kevin, our team investigated in

Branson, Missouri, the Titanic Museum. Yeah.

that they have there, and it's actually artifacts

brought up from the Titanic are in there. Yeah.

It's pretty cool. They need to go back. They

need to go back. Nothing's ever been brought

up from that ship. I guess the guy that owns

it, he's a diver, and he's actually been the

Titanic, and... The guy that owns it is actually

dead. His name was George Teller. He died of

cancer a couple years ago. His company still

owns it, but he was the one who had the actual

ownership, and he died a couple years ago of

cancer. So can people still die to it, or is

it off limits? His company is the only one who

can legally bring up salvage from it. Now, here's

the thing. The man who should have ownership

to that wreck is the first man to find it, and

that was Dr. Robert Ballard. The problem is Ballard

had a strict policy of not bringing anything

up. His claim on the wreck could not be qualified,

which is how the other company got claim of the

wreck. It's basic maritime law. If you're going

to claim ownership of a wreck, you have to salvage

something from that wreck. And he refused. He

wouldn't even bring up a lump of coal. And that's

all it would have taken, one lump of coal, and

nobody would have been able to touch that wreck.

And see at this museum that we investigated,

supposedly taunted, they have like life jackets

and chairs and all kinds of stuff from there.

It's probably replicas. No, they said it's actually

from the dive site. They actually have pictures

of it coming up out of the water, like sitting

next to the prop. What pisses me off is that

it's not even, okay, April 4th is a Wednesday.

And I know movies, they either do Wednesday or

Friday. But according to, and take this with

a grain of salt, Wikipedia, the Maiden Voyage

launched April 10th, 1912. Yes. It would make

it much more appropriate if the film was released

Tuesday. April 12th or April 10th 2012 because

that would actually be the 100 years since the

initial voyage kicked off Now if they were gonna

do it since it sank it would have to be a Sunday

release on the 15th And see the cool thing about

that is that's my birthday April 10th. Oh God

see I think they just wanted to get it in there

just before The anniversary because it's probably

the theaters might get mobbed on the anniversary

Well, but yeah, and I guess I could kind of see

that, but see, the thing is, like, it would make

more sense to me if they released it on the anniversary

date because the theater would get mobbed on

the anniversary date. I mean, hell, people have

taken off work to see the Phantom fuckface, let

alone, you know, Attack of the Clones and Revenge

of the Biff. You know, so, I mean... Don't forget

The Running Man. I mean, uh, The Hunger Games.

Oh, Lord, let's not even go there. The running

man. The Hunger Games is the new franchise, famous

franchise that takes the place of Harry Potter.

It's horrible. Harry Potter. But the books are

better. I like Harry Potter. The books are right.

Everyone liked it. I agree. I just I'm not even

don't even care. Hunger Games New Twilight. Yeah,

exactly. My mother said so who hasn't said they

actually sat down and watched They watched Twilight

the other day and the first words out of my mouth

was vampires don't sparkle But it was really

good I said I don't care You know Mike knows

this and I'm more of an angel Buffy guy than

anything and No, they don't sparkle. I can't

see Spike sparkling. I'm sorry. I couldn't get

into Angel and Buffy, I'm sorry. No, Angel is

so good. Angel is awesome. Yeah, you gotta go

back and it's... Angel is so good. There are

moments in it where it's kinda meh, but I think

for me... Buffy just lasted too long and it's

just too Convoluted of a continuity for me to

follow that show like where I stopped watching

Buffy was the graduation season 3 finale Is where

I stopped watching Buffy. I think Stargate SG

-1 went on too long ten years Now but see I love

that show though. That show is actually interesting

to me. Yeah Um, but the last angel is angel is

just so so excellent. So funny And oh my god,

I can't believe I'm actually revealing this but

this small this morning about I don't know about

14 hours ago about 5 a .m. This morning on on

Friday morning. I I Had my TV on and I had it

set to TNT and I just had the volume turned down

and I was asleep and I woke up hearing Cordy

screaming in ecstasy on TNT because it was the

opera episode where the the opera possesses them

and she's like oh Angel it's only so right if

you're inside of me and I wake up to that and

I'm like Charisma Carpenter did porn? What? Maybe

that was my dream. Yeah, it was, yeah. Do you

follow her on Twitter? No, I probably should,

but no. Yeah, she's pretty funny. I mean, she

still talks about it every once in a while about

Buffy and Angel. Apparently she was at a convention.

Someone asked her if she was going to guest star

on ringer and she's like I heard the show got

canceled and I'm like, oh my god You can just

do not even tell me that because I've been watching

ringer since it started. It's I don't know if

you guys have seen it. It's with Sarah Michelle

Geller. It's with Christopher Palaha and a bunch

of other people You guys well, of course everyone

should remember the Dark Knight Remember the

mayor in the Dark Knight? Yeah That guy is the

FBI agent in this show called Ringer on the CW

and the show is just so interesting and so riveting

I hope it doesn't get canceled, but if it does

that's gonna suck But she had said that she would

have if it hadn't gotten canceled sadly, but

there's been no official confirmation yet But

no angel you got to go back and watch angel angel

is so angel is the way vampire television should

be done uh... rosanne's son wherever he was married

to the daughter well uh... johnny leckie yeah

i can remember zing values in rosanna was about

it uh... after they kill off and they got pretty

good we the first couple episodes here and you

know but what what about spike it just made the

whole show no idea he was just like He was that

wizard world last year. Oh sweet But see now

I didn't know him from that I knew him from Torchwood.

Oh Yeah, I'm a big Doctor Who fan. So I also

watched Torchwood. So That's just a franchise

I can't get into I Don't hate Doctor Who I just

kind of leave it be and you know people bring

it up all the time like oh, okay Doctor Who I'll

see you guys later. You know, it's just one of

those things. I'm a fan of a lot of British television.

Like, I was a fan of Monty Python growing up.

My British television starts and stops with John

Cleese and Faulty Towers. Mine was, um, the,

the, wait, the young ones that they're all like

punk rock guys living in an apartment. There's

one show you guys need to check out. And it's

got to be one of the funniest shows I've ever

seen. And it's Red Dwarf. So you need to check

it out. Just the premise of the show alone is

funny. What it is is it's guy Dave Lister. He's

the last human being left in the universe. He

was on this giant mining ship, ships eight miles

long, red with a big asteroid in its belly. And

he. got put into stasis. It was supposed to be

an 18 month penalty in stasis for bringing in

a pregnant cat onto the ship. And while he's

in stasis, his bunkmate, who's also his boss,

repairs this one drive plate on the engines wrong

and the radiation kills everybody on the ship.

And the ship's computer, which has an IQ of 6000,

Decided to take the ship out of the solar system

at maximum speed now This is sub light speed

so it's taken forever And he had the computer

had to wait till the radiation went back down

to let the guy out So he gets it let out three

million years later And The computer has since

gone senile from being on its own all that time

the pregnant cat had escaped the radiation down

in the ship's hold and a race of sentient cats

had evolved, and they all left the ship except

for one, who acts like James Brown and is always

in really fashionable clothes. And to add insult

to injury, the computer brings back as a hologram

his bunkmate, his boss, who he absolutely hated

to keep him company. My god that actually reminds

me. Oh wait. No not video manager. God damn it

YouTube Why won't you work when I fucking want

you to work? They keep changing stuff just leave

alone. It's like Facebook. Oh Let's not even

go there There's another podcast There's a show

Jason Marsden does it It's called space guys

in space and It's it's so hilarious. You guys

have to watch this. Oh god freaking ad stupid

YouTube Blocker on it. I got an ad blocker. I

don't get any ads Yeah It's called space guys

in space and it's Phil Lamar doing the narration

It's Jason Marsden and this other guy starring

in it, but they are the last two humans in civilization

and they are wandering around space in this essentially

broken down escape pod. And it's so hilarious.

It's just a short YouTube series, five minute

videos. But it's just so hilarious. You guys

should so watch it. That actually sounds like

the premise of Red Dwarf because Lister was the

slobbiest person left alive. The guys who came

up the show said if humanity gets wiped out,

It's not going to be the smartest guy to survive

it. It's going to be the guy who's the biggest

slob in the universe. And who's an idiot who's

actually going to be the one to be to have the

dumb luck to survive. And that's what the whole

show is. Here he is. He's slobby. He's an idiot

and all this other stuff. And he's the last human

left in the universe. I like that movie, Idiocracy,

or whatever it is. Oh, my god. That movie is

great. Go away, I'm baiting. Sorry. Oh god, who

was it? Oh god One of the producers of something

said, I forget what movie he's a producer of,

but one of these morons in Hollywood said, I'd

really love to tackle Back to the Future to make

it as a remake. And I'm like, are you fucking

kidding me? There are some things that can be

remade and there are some things that just shouldn't

be fucking remade. Back to the Future was a product

of its time. You can't remake and recapture that.

No, you can't. It's like Jaws. It's like Jaws.

They wanted to do a remake of Jaws, and they

wanted to cast Tracey Morgan as Quint and make

it more comical. And I'm like, I will kill you,

Hollywood, if you touch Jaws. Jaws is my all

-time favorite movie. Nobody better touch that.

They already killed Robocop. They're making him

more human. Then it's just called Cop. It shouldn't

be called Robocop if he's human. The thing with

Jaws... Jaws remake the only thing that would

that would make that any interesting to me is

if they got Henry Winkler in skis and they any

Constantly just had him repeating jumping over

jaws What they're gonna do is they're gonna make

the shark CGI You're gonna see it do every friggin

attack and that kills the whole reason why the

movie Jaws works in the first place you don't

You don't see the shark till the very end of

the movie because Steven Spielberg had so much

so many problems with the mechanical shark it

worked to add tension to the film Yeah, and they're

just gonna kill that by putting a CGI shark in

there. Yeah, that's I Hate to say this, but most

people hate Jaws 3, but I kind of actually liked

it I'm going not bad Jaws 3 is not bad. I actually

saw Jaws 3 in the theater in 3D as a kid. Yeah,

and I kind of really liked it, you know, when

the dude's arm is floating there and the fish

head. It's like most people hate that movie and

I'm like, there's nothing wrong with it. The

scary thing is people think that a shark that

big, a great white that big is impossible. The

largest great white shark they ever caught. Was

almost 27 feet long and it was in a net in Australia

27 feet can you imagine now the shark in the

original jaws was 25 feet Geez so they really

do exist now the one in jaws three was supposed

to be 35 feet that's pushing it but sharks don't

stop growing as the age what happens you don't

see those giant ones like that because They have

to feed further and further away from land. They

usually go after giant squid when they get that

big. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I'm talking about

jobs. Sadly, the only thing that I can think

of at this point is, yeah, this shark still looks

fake. I love back to the future, too. Yeah, I

love back to the future, too. I like back to

the future the best. I think that's my favorite.

part three a lot of people dislike three and

they say it was one of the worst sequels ever

i disagree because back to the future okay back

to the future one and two you had the story of

marty back to the future two you had the story

of his parents essentially um because you well

the first two films were about his parents and

his family but back to the future two was they

had to get stuff back on track but back to the

future three was more of a a buddy film between

him and doc because it was focusing on their

relationship because they've already gone through

and done the whole storyline with marty's family

and everything else so i liked back to the future

three a lot i just always wondered what happened

to his girlfriend when he went from from the

first one the second one she completely changed

and he never noticed it you got a facelift it's

like man i screwed up time and my girlfriend

looks completely different she got a facelift

and a bigger chest I'm not complaining, but what

happened? This should remake Adventures in Babysitting.

No. No. That's another one that doesn't get remade.

I love that movie though. They tried to remake

The Karate Kid. I refuse to watch it. I refuse

to watch it. As much as I love Jackie Chan, yes,

I refuse to watch that movie. My wife keeps going

let's watch out. I kind of want to see it You

know, it's you know, um will smith's evil son

and all this and that no, I don't know You can't

you can't no You can't change it. So movies should

not like tron the second tron. I hate it Why

tron legacy is horrible? I found tron legacy

very boring It was boring. It didn't make any

sense. Like how could they bring How could they

bring her out of the world and bring her into

the real world and she's still alive? She's just

a program. I never understood it. I mean, yeah,

as much as I nitpick on my podcast about different

technical stuff, that is really a technical nitpick,

but the overall story from the first film, the

original film, to the second film, I would much

rather have what we got in Tron Legacy than some

rehash of Friday the 13th that absolutely sucks

all to hell. You know what I mean? Or completely

change it like they did with Freddy Krueger.

Are they ever going to have that cartoon on Disney?

Oh, Tron Uprising? I don't know if Disney XD

is ever going to do it. No, I'm not sure. Cause

I know you're a Disney guy and you know and I

was just watching the DVD I was like okay it's

been a while I'm gonna try Tron Legacy again

and after I watch it I'm like nope still hate

it and they always show commercials for it in

the beginning you know like on the upcoming things

and the cartoon looks kinda cool maybe yeah yeah

the cartoon did look really cool I don't know

if it ever got launched or not I'm not really

sure I'd have to look it up um see the thing

with me and Tron is when it came out in 82 I

was only two years old so you know that's kind

of was my excuse until I finally, before I went

to see the sequel, I was like, okay, well, I

need to finally see the first film. Cause I had

seen it in bits and pieces over the years, but

I never actually sat down to watch it. So I watched

the first film, someone had uploaded it on YouTube

at the time. And I watched the first film and

I absolutely loved it. It was absolutely amazing.

I went to see the second film and I liked the

fact that they made it a sequel instead of going

back and rehashing the same story. That's why

I like Tron Legacy. Yes, I will grant you it

does have its issues, but I would prefer something

like that for a remake versus what they did with

Wild Things 2 and 3, and Cruel Intentions 2 and

3, where they took the same goddamn story, the

exact same story, and the exact same characters,

and just changed the actors out. I was like,

oh my god, are you serious? See, I'm afraid you're

going to do that with a lot of the last star

fighter. Yeah. Leave it alone. Don't change it.

It'll be Michael Bay's last star fighter, and

it'll be like, you know. God, here we go. The

fighter will start transforming into all these

different things that make absolutely no sense.

And it's just going to be one big gigantic explosion

on the screen. Well, that's all battleship is

going to be. When I saw that first trailer for

Battleship, I'm like, is this Transformers 3

.5? Well, yeah. And Kev, you're a big ship guy.

Are you into that? I do not want to see Battleship.

That's just ridiculous. Aliens make them play

a game where the ships can really get. Not to

mention, the actual physical form of a battleship

has not been used since pretty much World War

II. Yeah, we did have one used during the Gulf

War. but that was more for show yeah the technology

has been outdated since the advent of the airplane

airplanes are far superior at killing other ships

than than a battleship speaking of ships come

back to titanic are they changing the movie at

all or just making it 3d they're just making

it 3d they're not like gonna lucas it and add

little bits and pieces in oh hell no no no Cameron

does not do that stuff well i'm glad i i did

one of the I didn't want him to pull a Lucas

on us. My wife and I were talking the other day

about James Cameron, and I pointed out to her

that he only has enough films for you to count

on both hands. Yeah. And you won't even get through

all your fingers. I mean, his first one was Piranha

2, which nobody wants to remember. Then he did

Terminator, then Aliens. then The Abyss, then

Terminator 2, True Lies, then Titanic, and then

Avatar. That's it. And he had about 13 years

between Titanic and Avatar. Name any other director

who has a resume like that. But name another

director who has his money. What do you think

of the new Alien movie? Prometheus they're not

really gonna supposedly they're not showing the

aliens in it Well, no, yeah It's a prequel because

it does deal with how that Alien ship with that

giant space dude on it got to that planet in

the first place that that the Nostromo came across

in alien but Apparently he's not showing the

aliens if he is he's keeping it quiet. I don't

know I seen clips and it looks like the face

suckers are on there because some of the people

have them wrapped around their face. If it goes

with the continuity of alien, then that giant

pilot or whatever it is that was an alien, his

chest was burst open. So an alien does come at

him. It probably happens at the end and wipes

everybody out. It wouldn't take more than one

to wipe a lot of people out. Those things are

nasty. Gotta love the xenomorphs. As long as

they don't make any Predator vs. Alien movies

anymore. The first one's okay. The second one,

I couldn't tell you who any of the human characters

were because I couldn't care. And the scenes

were shot so darkly, you couldn't tell what was

going on. Exactly. It's just bad. The third one,

when they're dropped on the planet, whatever.

Predator's wasn't bad. I'll give it that. That

wasn't bad. I haven't watched it more than once,

but it was enjoyable for a popcorn movie. Are

they going to redo Terminator again? Probably.

Yeah, their plans are to make Terminator 5 and

6. With Arnold? I doubt it. Arnold's essentially

retired. Um, there was some other movie I heard

he was gonna make but I can't remember what it

wasn't gonna be Terminator something else. Um

Total Recall. No, wait, that's already been done.

Yeah, they're remaking everything. Yes See now

Talking about remakes The horror franchise remakes

some of them were just off. I can't stand the

Rob Zombie Halloween films. I did not need to

know About Michael Myers how he became this twisted

little kid killing animals and all this stuff.

I didn't need to know that Original movie was

brilliant. He puts on the mask You don't you

see everything from the point of view of the

mask He kills his sister and then he's just standing

there and he's catatonic the rest of his life

And he just then he comes back as an adult starts

killing people. That was fine. That's all the

setup you needed I didn't need an hour of the

film dedicated to Why Michael Myers was screwed

up in the head? Yeah, but I do have to give remakes

Star Trek. I Give that really good Star Trek

was done. Good Star Trek was done. Well Yeah,

there was it was funny Some people wanted to

start an online campaign to get me to play Harry

Mudd and in the Star Trek sequel I was a good

luck getting that to happen As far as Arnold

goes since 2004 2004 he made around the world

in 80 days as an actor actor in quotation marks.

Expendables in 2010. He is in post -production

for Expendables 2 in 2012. Next year he's in

post -production for something called The Last

Stand. Unknown Soldier and The Tomb are both

in pre -production. So those are both for next

year as well. So he's still doing stuff. There's

no mention of anything Terminator on his IMDB.

Um, so I doubt, and if he does do it again, it'll

probably just be a cameo. He's... I think he's

moved on from it at this point. Did you see that

picture? On Twitter? It's Sylvester Stallone

and him in the hospital getting surgery done

on their shoulders. No, I didn't see that. They're

sitting right next to each other in the same,

like, there's a bed and... Sylvester's in it

in a bed right next to him and Arnold's in it

and they're both like got their shoulders all

tore up For making the expendables to blue their

shoulders out He didn't do anything for a while

there he was pretty low -key for a while and

then when Rocky Balboa came out in the theater

and I saw I was like What happened to him? Oh

my god, he looks like a real boxer would look

at that age. That's how he looks as is. He didn't

age well. No, he hasn't aged well. Let's see,

looking at his IMDB. Oh, wow. OK, let's see.

Bullet to the head is completed, supposedly coming

out this year. From 2005 to now, he was in a

few episodes of the Las Vegas TV series. Rocky

Balboa, Rambo IV, Expendables, Zookeeper, Bullet

to the Head as I said, Expendables 2 post -production.

And he is also gonna be in The Tomb, which he's

in pre -production for. Now, some of these guys

need to just go ahead and retire. You know, they

just do. Until he remakes Cobra Oh God Now now

back to the horror movie remakes yeah, I Liked

the Friday the 13th remake It was actually I

actually felt it was better than then The second

Friday the 13th movie wasn't as good as the original

the original had had a lot of suspense and all

that but they tried to cram the Original film

into the first five seconds of the remake. Yeah

Feldman in in the third one Who? No, he's the

fourth one Yeah, he was in the fourth one. He

had a cameo at the beginning of the fifth one

and that was it and His voice was in was in the

sixth one Wait, Kevin Bacon was in the first

one. Yes. He was that was actually one of the

first films he ever starred in right Okay, that

animal house and Something else back then well

Speaking of Michael Meyer. No, wait. No, no Freddy

Krueger. No, I had a problem I had a real problem

with that one the Nightmare on Elm Street remake

Freddy Krueger is my all -time favorite horror

guy Yeah, and that remake pissed me off. It wasn't

enough that Freddy was a child murderer. He had

to be a child molester, taking all these pictures

of them and all this other stuff. And then they

tried to make it seem like he was innocent and

that the kids had lied, but that he wasn't innocent.

I was like, oh, come on, he should just be killing

them. What is the hard part about that? There

shouldn't be any, you know, I didn't I don't

need all that backstory for my characters. Yeah,

not when they're not when they're killers like

that. You don't need it. I Think that's why the

saw movies eventually got really bad because

they kept giving more and more backstory on on

jigsaw The saw movies are essentially all one

long ass movie. I Mean, that's really all they

are Yeah, like three of them all crossing cross

over each other to tell the same story from different

angles Yeah, what's Walberg was out of it and

it wasn't worth watching Yeah. The funny thing

is I'm looking through, you mentioned Corey Feldman,

I'm looking through his buddy's stuff, Corey

Haim, and the only thing I recognize from Corey

Haim's IMDB is a little unknown movie called

Double -O -Kid from 1992. He also was in The

Lost Boys, so I recognize that film. But I absolutely

love 00Kid because it's this cheesy spy type

of movie. It's kind of like a cliche spy movie

with Wallace Shawn in it as the villain and Nicole

Eggert is in it as the babe. I love that movie

so much, but anything else out of Corey Haim

or Feldman for that matter as well. I barely

recognize anything from their stuff. What? Driver's

license? License to drive? Yeah, I've heard of

that. But, I don't know. Aren't we going to redo

Goonies? Oh, God. They were thinking of making

a sequel to Goonies called The Roots. I thought

Feldman was going to try to be in it again. They

were all gonna try to be in it Speaking of whore.

Um, did you see about cabin in the woods with

Josh Wheaton? I've heard of it I've seen like

bits and pieces of the trailer, but I didn't

like the array. I'm not a horror guy really Honestly,

I'm not I saw the night the very first nightmare

on Elm Street when I was five years old and then

right after that I saw like which board to and

it basically scarred me for life on Like, like

the closest I can get to horror films is like

an American Werewolf in Paris and the Blade movies.

That's the closest I get because Blood, Guts

and Gore activates my very, very raw gag reflex.

Well, was Cabin in the Woods, isn't that a remake?

Uh, yes, yes, yes. The Joss Whedon Cabin in the

Woods is a remake. Okay. I'm trying to think

of horror movies. I know there was... cabin fever

where they all got like some weird disease and

they also That movie was awful. Yeah, they took

the water. It was awful. One of my friends dragged

me to see that. He's like, oh we gotta see this.

I heard this is a good movie. We saw it. And

I'm like, yeah, whoever told you this is a good

movie lied. Hollywood just can't think of any

original ideas. That's all there is to it. You

know what the problem is? And if you take a creative

writing course, you'd probably learn this. There

are four basic stories you can tell and You can

only rehash them in so many different ways It's

just eventually you're gonna remake you're gonna

either remake something or you're going to tell

something very similar to what somebody else

told But it's that's just the nature of how it

works But blatantly just coming out and saying

oh, it's been about 20 years. We're gonna remake

this what really gets me is the reboot of That's

another one the reboots like spider -man the

first spider -man came out what 2004 2002 was

spider -man one. Yeah, and here it is ten years

later and we're getting a new spider -man You

know the thing is you know, I don't mind that

they're doing a spider -man remake because it's

not Everyone seems to hate Spider -Man 3. I find

it tolerable. Spider -Man 1 and 2 were significantly

better. Daredevil is better than Spider -Man

3, I think. That's saying a lot. Shut up. But

the thing with the Spider -Man remake is not

only does Sony and Fox want to hold on to that

license and not let it revert to Marvel, They

want to make sure that these comic book characters

stay in the public eye. So every so often, you're

going to get a remake or you're going to get

a sequel. Same thing with Wolverine and X -Men

First Class. Fox had to make an X -Men movie

before... When did First Class come out last

year, right? They had to make an X -Men movie

before a certain date. or else the rights would

have reverted to Marvel. Now, Marvel, with their

quote -unquote universe of films that they've

created, I don't think the X -Men could fit into

it right now, but at the same time, I don't mind

any of the X films. Like, one of the reasons

why I defend X3, and a lot of people don't, a

lot of people hate it, the only single reason

why I defend X -Men 3 is because it's fucking

Frasier. as beast and that is when I watched

your perfect casting it was perfect fucking casting

they didn't use them as much but it was perfect

fucking casting and I absolutely loved it and

one of the reasons why I did is because Kelsey

Grammer's voice not it doesn't specifically the

vocal tones don't match but his intelligence

matches what I remember watching from the cartoon

series so that's why I like x -men 3 um but a

spider -man remake with where they're taking

the story um you know i don't mind it especially

since it's a different director and it's a different

actor toby maguire was all right but i don't

know i found it weird that after the first film

he went and did cats and dogs as the voice of

a damn dog and then he went back to doing spider

-man i'm like oh okay I'm trying to think of

more More what more remakes that they ruined

Supposed to be making a short -circuit remake

which I am vehemently against Well, yeah, that's

bad. That'd be bad. I know they're making another

Wolverine movie Well, yeah, but I mean, again,

that's that's Fox being Fox and you know, they're

gonna do what they're gonna do with that. So

they don't lose the rights. Oh, I absolutely

loved it. The one thing I loved about X -Men

First Class was when they went to approach Wolverine,

he's like, essentially, he didn't say this, but

essentially, he's like, ah, fuck off. I was like,

hell yeah, because because I didn't I didn't

expect to see Hugh Jackman in X -Men First Class.

The one thing I hated about that movie was Kevin

Bacon wearing the goddamn helmet. Yeah. That

was bad. Yes, that was very, very bad. But still,

it was it was a really good movie for being a

prequel to the X -Men films. I thought it was

it worked really well. Yeah. Well, it was better

than Wolverine. Wolverine pissed me off. I think

I read somewhere where the next one is all about

Magneto. The next X -Men movie or the next Wolverine

movie? The next X -Men movie is Magneto and his

origins. How many times are they going to fucking

tell the goddamn origin? They just showed X -Men

First Class. How much more in depth do you got

to go? I don't know. I could have swore that

I'd seen a picture of somebody dressed like Magneto.

The next X -Men movie might be, like, Magneto's

rise to his power. That might be what it might

be, because, you know, the origin story, it takes,

what, less than five minutes to tell it? I mean,

you know, that's really all as it does. In film,

anyway. So it might be where, like, in X -Men

First Class... They didn't, you know, they kept

calling him Magnus. They very rarely called him

Magneto. He just got the helmet from Kevin Bacon.

And Kevin Bacon as Shaw was a good casting move.

I just didn't like him in the helmet. That was

the one thing that pissed me off because the

only thing I can think of is, you know, the dude

from the air up there in the Magneto helmet and

that was just fucking weird. So maybe that's

what the next X -Men film is. It's going to be

Magneto's rise to power. Maybe that's what it's

going to be. I don't know. Yeah, like why he

went one way and Professor X went the other way.

Who knows? Yeah. The one thing I loved about

it was the way Professor X was. He was like,

would you like us to shave your head? No. But

that was great But yeah, um other remakes other

remakes I Think I think Masters needs a new movie

I Guess we could talk about bay turtles more

Would you say Kevin I was just gonna start saying

Teenage Mutant alien turtles But actually, I

don't know if either you guys watch anything

on like Channel awesome or anything like that

Very rarely. No, I don't but the Nostalgia Critic

did a video a week ago on And it was it was all

He was just being a wise ass the entire time

And he was going on about why Michael Bay should

make the turtles aliens. And it was it was. It

became he changed. He had the title up there,

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he kept crossing

out the things because and it became something

boobies, explosions, whatever. And I was just

like, that was the title. I was like, yeah, that's

a Michael Bay film. I mean if you look at it,

you know, oh wait, that's the wrong window if

you look at it, it's teenage alien No, wait No,

it doesn't mean I know somebody said it was something

like like taint, you know, and it's like teenage

alien in Ninja Tur - I don't know, something

like that. And the first thing that I think of

is from the rise of the One Shall Rise 3 -parter

from Transformers Prime. What is this? I smell

the taint of Primus. What is this? I smell the

taint of Michael Bay. Oh, good lord. How long

ago did Nostalgia Critic do this? Would say last

week Maybe the week before it was right about

the time that it got announced he did it and

Is it under the nostalgia critic on the that

guy with the glasses website because I'm looking

all the way back to February. Yeah The top 11

nostalgia critic fuck ups part three no, it's

not it wasn't under Wasn't under that it was

I think it was under. Oh, yeah. Here we go If

you go on the main page go down to work under

bum reviews It has underneath that is sketches

and specials and it says why Ninja Turtles should

be aliens Is it just on the main page on the

main on the main page you just go to the main

page reviews And sketches and specials is underneath

that Okay. Oh, I see it. Okay. All right. Yeah,

I'm gonna have to watch this not to post a link

in the in our show notes for it so Yeah, it was

it was funny. Yeah, I just When he does stuff

like that just talking straight out like that.

It's pretty funny. Yeah I usually only watch

like him and the car on there Yeah, that's really

all I watch is linkara for his history of Power

Rangers stuff I watch Brad Jones, but I actually

watch Brad Jones on his own channel. I don't

watch it on here And I watch I watch spoonie

on his own channel as well You know, it's not

that I have any against those guys. I just Just

don't I don't know. It's like I'm not like part

of that niche as you know I've seen a lot of

the nostalgia critic stuff and I like some of

it and some of it I completely disagree with

and whatever but it's just some of the other

people that are on there I just don't really

care for the personalities and that's that's

all well and fine and that's my personal opinion

and If people want to watch it, that's great.

But yeah, I'll have to watch this and see what

he said, because I mean, it's like it's like

Paul and I said in our episode 12 thing, you

know, I'm. I don't understand why Michael Bay

had to speak out about it even at all because

he is only, his production company is doing stuff

with it. And according to IMDB Pro, the project

doesn't even have a damn director yet. You know,

and usually the director is the one that speaks

out or, or, you know, you know a regular producer

but it's like why are you making this announcement

now when you know it's going to piss people off

and then you're gonna sit there and tell people

to take a chill pill shut the fuck up you know

the the comparison I made to it was you know

George Lucas is an executive producer on Star

Wars The Clone Wars but he's not sitting here

making announcements of new storylines that fuck

up the continuity Well, you know, I Watched no,

I know I Yeah, I kind of caught that episode

but I haven't watched that cartoon all the way

through So I like I catch episodes here and there

but it's like you don't hear George Lucas saying

stuff about you know that cartoon. I just wish

it wasn't Michael Bay making that announcement

or if it was something where he's trying to start

a you know misinformation campaign. That's the

one thing I hate about him as a person in Hollywood

is the misinformation. I mean there's a way to

do a misinformation campaign or there's a way

to do an ad campaign. Dark Knight got it right.

with, you know, I believe in Harvey Dent and,

you know, the whole Joker thing and everything

else. That was a great ad campaign for that film.

But coming out and saying that they're aliens

and getting everyone up in arms and everything

else and everyone, according to Paul, overreacting

about it. You can't make the turtles realistic.

I mean, you can make them realistic, but you

can't make them, you know, Be realistic in the

real world like Bay did with Transformers. You

just can't It has to be more like the The movie

from 1990 that that had it almost perfect. Yeah,

that is still one of my favorite movies from

that era. Yeah Yeah What's like with him changing,

you know saying that the twins weren't gonna

be in Dark of the Moon And that was a whole big

thing He said, if anybody saw him on film, that

he would pay that person. I don't know how much

money it was. He owes me money. I saw the film

at an advanced screening three days before it

came out. My friend won tickets. I saw the twins

in vehicle mode near the very beginning of the

movie when all the Autobots were driving into

the garage. well yeah okay but that's see that's

the thing though it's um it's my money i know

but i think what he meant when he said you know

the uh you know seeing them on in the movie is

actually you know seeing them in robot mode acting

all hey mo you know that kind of thing and the

thing with revenge of the fallen is that When

I saw the scene of the twins fighting and bumblebee

having to break them up I actually took a screencaps

and put them on Facebook and I said this is the

three stooges of Transformers I'm actually gonna

look for the pictures now because I've got them

on here somewhere. The book is so much better.

I don't know if you guys The twins are in it

and they actually saved bumblebee from from Sentinel

Prime Yeah. Oh, good. I just wish they would

have left it in there. Yeah. All right. So Bumblebee

is Moe, Mudflap is Larry, and Skids is Curly

is how I tag these images. And that's funny.

You guys got to see this picture of my one son.

We took, I think, a year and a half ago. My nephew's

wife took it. He looks like friggin Heath Ledger's

Joker in the picture. Let me find out and see

if I can get you the links. Check this out. And

I actually tagged it as why so serious. That's

awesome. Speaking of remakes, you know the whole

Three Stooges while you were talking about the

Three Stooges. I've seen the trailer. It looks

okay. I'm just thinking all the funny parts were

in the trailer. And probably not how they do

that with you know movies nowadays All the goods

yeah the trailer and then the rest of movies

like yeah, okay Yeah, why so serious yeah, that's

yeah, that is very awesome But you know the funny

thing about it is like Like the Three Stooges

thing. They did a TV movie back in 2000 with

Michael Chiklis as Curly and I thought that was

the best casting for Curly ever. Outside of,

you know, Curly himself. And like when I heard

about the new movie I was like, really? And I

know it's the Fairly Brothers doing it and I

know the Fairly Brothers have, you know, some...

Good movies, you know dumb and dumber. I like

that movie. I liked One of the reasons why I

like fever pitch obviously just because it's

a Red Sox movie, but There's just some things

in there their comedic style that I just can't

Just can't deal with So I don't know it's just

I don't think the Three Stooges movie for me

personally is something I will go see in theaters.

It's something I'll wait for like Redbox or Netflix

or something like that. Yeah. Not high on my

want -to -see list right now. No. And you know,

that's another thing is for me, like if a movie

or a series is so super popular, I go the other

way. I've told this story before in other podcasts.

I don't know if I've said it here on Team Bottomless

and I'll probably repeat it again at a later

date. I don't know. Back in 2000 when I was living

in Mississippi, I went to the local Books -a

-Million store and at the time I was still reading

stuff. I was reading John Grisham. I was reading

stuff like that. I was reading Dean Koontz. I

was still reading the Hardy Boys case files from

when I was a kid because I love those books.

But the lady there, one of the clerks there is

like, well, what else do you like to read? What

other kind of stuff do you like to read? And

I told her, and she's like, oh, well. there's

you know we have this this this book series called

harry potter it's about a boy who becomes a wizard

and i was like okay and then she's like there's

this other series called you know the the plum

series from janet avanovich which is about a

former lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter i'm

like okay forget the fucking boy wizard And that's

how I got turned on to Janet Ivanovich's One

for the Money, Two for the Dough, and all those

books that she's done. And they're just absolutely

hilarious books. One for the Money, the movie

One for the Money just finally got made after

years and years and years of saying that it was

going to be made. And one of the most hilarious

parts in that first book is Stephanie's grandmother

takes her gun takes Stephanie's gun and shoots

the chicken on the dinner table it's it's just

it's so hilarious but like like Harry Potter

Hunger Games Doctor Who they're so popular right

now and everybody's into you know Game of Thrones

is another thing and that's partially because

it's HBO and I don't have HBO that I don't get

into that but it's one of those things where

you know it just If everyone's into it, I have

to go the exact opposite way. You know, the last

four or five years, I've been really loving Seinfeld

episodes. And when that was on originally, of

course I was younger, but I just couldn't get

into it then. And now that I'm getting older,

I'm getting into it more. Where did everybody

go? Okay Are you gonna say Bob I Said I quote

Seinfeld at least once a day some somehow some

way I usually do it My brother tried to get me

into it I couldn't That's gonna get into it.

I'm not into sitcoms at all really. I can't stand

them I don't like the format. I don't like the

premise of any of them. It's just I Would say

the one sitcom you could probably get into would

be the Big Bang Theory, you know I can't get

into that one either. Really? You're crazy fuck

is wrong with you Well, like you said I go the

opposite way people go That's crazy No this past

week this past Thursday on Big Bang Theory they

had Leonard not yeah Leonard but no they had

Leonard Nimoy as the voice of Tiny's Toy Spock

and that was kind of awesome So that's pretty

much made it yeeks pretty much cool again it's

a cool school because it's cool to be a geek

all of a sudden you know with the comics and

yeah look at how much it exploded oh yeah in

the last year or two and a lot of movies that

we've been talking about like you know people

that never read comics or anything like that

or I love superheroes and now it's cool to be

a dork yeah yeah When I was in high school, I

was the outcast sitting at the table all by myself

because I wasn't the jock. I had a group of friends

that we were all the outcasts. We just all kind

of flocked together. One of them now actually

is one of the on -air personalities for the S

network for the Yankees. Wow, you never know.

You never know. We're some good Are you really

gonna start talking about the Yankees cuz I don't

know you might have to throw down here You know

what? I'm not a sports fan. The only thing I

watch NASCAR So you're not gonna get me to talk

baseball. You're not gonna get me He's making

another left turn I take the channel turn it

back in 15 minutes. You'll see the same fucking

thing I used to be like 2003 2004 I was really

you know 2002 to 2004 I was really big in a NASCAR

and then after the 2004 Nextel Cup and Earnhardt

essentially got you know fucked over that year

Earnhardt jr. I should say I Just said screw

it. I don't care about this anymore See now my

driver is Matt Kenseth. So I started watching

as long as you don't say Tony Stewart now I started

following him in 2002 when he won the most races

that year and then once he do in 2003 wins the

championship Yeah, wins it in such a way that

they have to change how you win the championship

My driver you have your own driver that's like

you're must be like a third redneck or something

Right there this coming from the guy that lives

out in Iowa Iowa I Will say there are some races

that I will start falling asleep while I'm watching

because they are boring but I live real close

to the Dover International Speedway Mm -hmm.

It's only 45 minutes from my house. So I try

to get there at least once a year to see a race

Simply because seeing one of those races live

is a completely different animal To seeing them

on TV see and my dad loves NASCAR and he goes

to go over every year and Pocono and He has the

headset we can actually listen to the driver

talking to their guy. I mean he's crazy about

it I actually did I used to bring a scanner to

a headset to the track to listen and a few years

ago, my brother and I went to Watch actually

a crash from a truck race on a Friday at Dover

now That's actually my favorite because they

put on a better show than the Cup guys Because

they crashed there they'll beat and bang on each

other. They don't care those trucks can take

it and I had my scanner and there was a couple

and their son sitting in front of us and the

woman wanted her asked if her son could borrow

my scanner I'm like fine she kept getting drunker

and drunker as the race went on and she would

lean back and every time she would lean back

we got a full view of what was going on inside

her shirt and she wasn't wearing a bra you never

know what you're gonna see in a race no you never

do know So yeah, that's about all I watch. Baseball

puts me to sleep. Football puts me to sleep.

I won't even watch the Super Bowl. Won't watch

the World Series. Couldn't care less who wins.

Not my thing. I do live in a trailer though.

I do live in a trailer. I live in a trailer in

Tornado Alley. It's like, you know, Tornado's

going through a trailer park each hall. I used

to live in a trailer. More. Now I live in a ghetto

home, but I don't know what's worse. Oh, God,

that's so funny. There are certain shows I can

get into. There are certain shows I can't get

into. Like, people have been, you know, trying

to get me to watch Community. for the longest

time. Every time I see an episode, not an episode,

but an advertisement for community, it just makes

me want to watch it less and less. I can't stand,

not Office Space, I love Office Space. The Office,

I hate that fucking show. I've never seen one

episode. I won't watch that. Lucky you. I won't

watch The Walking Dead. Oh, you're killing me.

I won't watch it. I'm not a fan of zombies or

zombie movies. I just think that they're stupid.

I'm all over that show. I tried watching The

River, and that is like the worst thing I've

ever seen in my whole life. It's on ABC. What

do you expect? Well, it's made by the same guys

who made Paranormal Activity, and it's that whole

shaky, you know, like, blog kind of thing, and

I just put it in that kind of filmmaking. It's

like Blair Witch for TV. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

It's horrible. If I wanted to get motion sickness,

I'd just ride in the back seat of a car. I could

just feel the same way. Well, you live in the

right area of the country, so. You have to take

that medicine to make you not motion sickness

when you go on an airplane or on a roller coaster

or whatever to watch that show. For me, good

television ended when Babylon 5 went off the

air. Well, I don't know. Like me and Kevin were

talking about the other day, what was that? Quantum

Leap. I can't think of it. What? Quantum Leap?

No, not, well, Quantum Leap is a great show.

It was the one with the underwater, I can't think

of it now. Sequest, Sequest, Sequest DSV. I couldn't,

I was drawing a blank. Yeah, that was a great

show. It was. The first season was awesome, the

second season they tried to put a little bit

more sci -fi into it and that was okay. But it

did take away from the feel of the first season

the third season though Yeah, I think the only

thing that saved the third season was they brought

Michael Ironside in Right. Yeah Sadly, I don't

think there's a third season even hit DVD That's

kind of sad third season is that when they had

to talking dolphin No, talking dolphin was throughout

the entire series. Yeah, Frank Wilker actually

did the dolphin's voice. Yeah. That wouldn't

surprise me. Well, he does. He's got the longest

IMDB page of anybody. Yep. All because of that

weird voice of his. Oh, ha ha. But the good thing

is. Disc only are you kidding me? Come on Netflix?

so weird Netflix instant has a seasons one through

three of Sequest DSV on instant season one sadly

has let's see Season one on instant has one two

three three episodes out of 25 that say disc

only so Yeah, that kind of sucks, but I already

have seasons one and two on DVD so that doesn't

bother me Well, right, but right but season three

is there so that's that's pretty awesome. I Think

I got season three some other way Yeah Optimus

doesn't support other ways of getting stuff Don't

know if I borrowed it from somebody I can't remember

it was years when I got it because I had the

first two seasons I'm like, well, they're not

gonna put the third season on DVD. What am I

gonna do? Yeah, so you can watch on YouTube like,

you know, you don't want to watch thundercat,

you know cartoons on YouTube I don't watch thundercats.

Anyway, Paul will go out and hurt people that

do that Because they don't support The networks

keep TV shows going. Well, the networks don't

even fucking support it. I mean, I know they

state the Saturday mornings now. I mean, I honestly

don't mind that it's on Saturday mornings. That's

fine with me. I just didn't know that it was

coming back that I mean, I had heard that it

was coming back, but I didn't actually know that

it was going to be on a couple of weeks ago yesterday

saying it was canceled now. That's not going

to be gone. Essentially, yeah. So let me see.

Where is the thing season? Where is damn it?

That's not 2011 series here we go 2011 series

Wikipedia the production plot but the Cast reception

nothing Okay, wiki has nothing on the actual

cancellation, but according to them for season

1 they list 26 episodes so that that episode

episode 13 between brothers people are like oh

that's the season finale no it's fucking not

because the show at the time had gotten picked

up for 52 episodes so season one is gonna have

26 episode episodes and right now wikipedia lists

them having episodes 15 to 20 listed uh trials

of lino parts 1 and part 2 native sun survival

of the fittest oh hey Survival of the fittest.

No one would follow an uncharismatic boar like

you. Sorry, Transformers sneak back in there.

The pit and curse of Rattila. And they've got

listed through, they don't have the episodes

listed on this, but they've got numbers set through

26. So I'm sure Cartoon Network is going to let

the last... you know, 10 or 12 episodes air,

but there was nothing mentioned in the up -fronts

for Cartoon Network of returning shows as being

one of them being Thundercats. So it probably

is cancelled, sadly. No, yeah, like Kevin said,

I didn't even know it was coming back and then

I was flipping through on a scene that Panthero

has anchor arms now and... Does he actually,

does he inflate them like Spongebob? When the

little scary bear things were putting his arms

together and he pretty much had go -go gadget

arms and they were going out of control and hitting

him in the face. I was like, what the heck? What

is this? I don't remember this last season and

I didn't even know it was new. They don't promote

it very well or something, I don't know. No,

Cartoon Network does not promote action cartoons

very well unless it's like Star Wars or Ben 10.

I'm actually surprised that Star Wars The Clone

Wars is still airing on Cartoon Network seeing

as how Hasbro has the license for that. For the

toys. I'm surprised the Clone Wars hasn't moved

over to the hub yet I'm sure Cartoon Network

has a certain contract with Hasbro for it, but

Yeah, Cartoon Network does not promote action

cartoons whatsoever They just don't they'll promote

they'll promote shit like regular show and Adventure

Time and Mad and whatever else Batman the Brave

and the Bold. I thought that was a fantastic

take on Batman. It had just the right amount

of humor thrown in with all the other DC Universe

characters thrown in there and some of them were

done really well. I love how Aquaman was an egotistical

jerk all the time, always telling stories. And

I just wish it had lasted longer than three seasons.

I love the way it went out though. Oh, that was

perfect. Peewee Herman as Batmite was awesome.

Yes. and how he kept messing with the shows to

force it to get cancelled. I was like, yes. I've

never watched that series. Was Mark Hamill Joker

in that? No. No. But did you ever watch the Drew

Carey show? Yes. Yeah. You remember his friend

Oswald? Yeah. He did the voice of Batman. And

it was great. That is the one reason why I hate

that show. One fucking reason why I hate that

show that is fucking Oswald is Batman. Nobody

can touch Kevin Conroy's voice for Batman. No.

And then nobody ever will. No. If I read a Batman

comic, that's the voice going through my head.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I was so glad they got him

for the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games because

that just, it makes it more real to me when I'm

playing it because he does the voice. Oh yeah.

Batman the animated series is my all time favorite

cartoon. I mean, it beats Transformers. It beats

a lot of stuff. And I just thought it was one

of the most well produced cartoons ever made.

Yeah. Both story wise, music. everything. Bruce

Tim was a genius when he came up with the designs

for that show. Yeah. Short Tales. I thought that

was a pretty good one. Short Tales? Yeah. Don't

you remember Short Tales? Oh, God. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. I'd rather watch Goof Troop. That ranks

up there with Smurfs and Snorks, Bob. The sad

thing is, I like Snorks better than Smurfs. DuckTales.

DuckTales is a great show. Yeah, DuckTales was

awesome. DuckTales is a fantastic show. Yeah,

all those shows, even the one with the bear.

Yeah, when he flew there. Tailspin was good.

Yeah. Tailspin was good. Yeah, that was very

very awesome. Oh boy, what else do we want to

talk about? We've been at this for what an hour

or two hours now two hours, yep Yeah, you just

want to call it there Same same bat time same

bat channel next week. Yeah Of course, okay So,

yeah, there you go, there's a team bottom us

variety our episode 13 Rambling catastrophe I

think we covered a lot of different topics, so

that's always good. And I mean, hell, we've sat

here for two hours, so that's, you know. I think

we're all going to think we have ADHD because

we can't keep a same, you know, it's like it's

just all over the place. Well, that's the point

of the title of the show, Bob, Team Bob's Variety

Hour. We talk about a variety of things. And

if most people know Paul, I mean, Paul can go

from talking about how awesome the Hot Toys Batmobile

will be to how, uh, you know, lame it is that

people are complaining about Optimus' characterization

in Transformers Prime, so, you know. Not having

his mask on and having teeth. My only problem

is he has no lip. I'm not asking for like Angelina

Jolie or Steven Tyler lips, but I mean, his mouth

is like a thin gray line. That's all it is. See

when I first saw it I thought of that fireman

bill guy the character from in living color So

so funny alright, so I have been TF2 and Mike,

and with me have been Kevin and Bob. We'll come

up with a nickname for Bob at some point. Kevin's

nickname is DarthEvious, so yes. We will be doing

more Team Bottomist variety stuff in the future.

I think we've all but decided that we're going

to start doing it weekly. And Paul will be back

on I think the next episode where I'm gonna try

to schedule where the three of us can or the

four of us can come on and do a show together

We got some other shit to work out and all that

happy stuff. So There you go. Say goodnight guys

Goodnight guys We'll catch you next time What

is this I said The taint of Primus?
