So, let's see here. Of course, now the stupid

money ain't gonna work. Damn it. Hello and welcome

to GeekCast Radio, episode 12. I am your host,

TFC1Mike, and joining me is two of the three

Power Geeks. Hello. Why don't you introduce yourselves,

ladies first. Okay, in that case. Alright, Kristen.

He called you a lady, which we don't necessarily

go to, but go ahead. Well, I'm the lady, but

someone else is the girl of the bunch. Exactly.

This is Kristen from Geek Girls Network. This

is Steven Mullen from The Power Geeks and Hearts

Unknown. Known to me, not to anybody else. God

for that. So how did you guys, this is the first

time I've talked to you guys. How did you guys

start up The Power Geeks? OK. It was me and Jeremy

who originally started The Power Geeks and a

guy named Frank Trigg which we had on recently

which nobody's ever heard of because I borked

this audio for our very first Power Geeks. Anyways,

I was doing the power of information on Genesis

Radio and a couple other KCAA with somebody named

Derek Alfonso and that went off the air and I

decided that I wanted to keep doing this but

I wanted to do a hot guest format. So I came

up with The Power Geeks, I put out a casting

call. on Twitter of all places. I had just signed

up for Twitter, put out a casting call, and I

had both Frank and Jeremy immediately message.

I was like, dude, I'm just going to do this because

it'll probably take me a couple weeks to really

find good people to come on. Anyways, within

like two seconds, they had messaged back saying,

hey, I want to try. So that's how the Power Geek

started. Cool. And then they stalked me until

I joined. Yes, and I was officially Kristen's

first and only stalker. yeah she was like dude

go away and I was like no no no you must come

on no no go the heck away I was like I can be

creepy okay maybe I'll come on so you won't be

creepy that's how our first conversation went

well the funny thing about Kristen is she talks

just like she twitters without all the misspelling

hey I feel just fine thank you oh yeah i don't

know if you are you for your listeners i don't

know if they know this but mike is constantly

on my ass about my spelling and i'm trying to

type fast i usually only have like five minutes

during the day to get on twitter to say hello

and the first thing out of his mouth not good

morning not nice to see you wait a second wait

a second stop that's not all the time it's just

like it's it's because my twitter feed is so

large now I haven't seen you say good morning,

so I'll see you say something else, and it'll

be like spelled backwards. Hey, whatever works.

See, whatever gets your attention. That's her

point. Well, and now, I'll be very honest. Like,

before I go to send a tweet, I will double check

it before I hit send. I hope Mike's not reading

this. Me? I just freaking just start spewing

explicatives. Yeah, your problem on Twitter is

you retweet everything people tell you. So they

see the same thing that they asked you already

with along with your answer. That's your problem.

Oh, okay. Okay. This is the thing for me. I mean,

Twitter is a lot of things for different people.

But what torters for me is it is a conversation

piece. But the problem with conversations on

Twitter is you only always see one side of the

story. It's really annoying. Right, unless you're

friends with both parties. Unless you're friends

with both parties. So I got to go look at the

other person, go look at their Twitter feed,

try to guesstimate what time they said this and

what time you replied. It's annoying. Yeah. So

no, I always tweet whatever they say on the other

side. There's a lot of times that I don't know

what you're talking about when you retweet stuff

and I get to see, like, that's how you make extra

friends too. You retweet something. I'm like,

oh, I like what they're saying. I'm going to

go follow them now too. See? So you're like the

minority here, Mike. Kristen's the cool girl.

She's agreeing with me for once. I'll pay you

after this, Kristen. Don't worry. Let's mark

this day. It'll never happen again. It was a

20. It was a 20 that day. Oh, what was I going

to say? I don't even remember now. That's OK.

Have you ever gotten your soap yet? Because every

time I see a picture of that thing, I'm like,

why would I want Han Solo's hand on my ass? Oh,

you know, I thought that exact same thing. I'm

thinking, I want to use the bottom of this bar

because there's no way I'm going to scrub Han

Solo's face in my nether regions. I'm just saying.

Now, Kristen might like that. I don't know. I

cannot wait to get my hands on that soap. OK,

moving right along. All right, so. uh... the

do we want to bring up any like current news

or anything for actually in the topic i've had

three hundred thousand sold is that crazy a lot

of yesmen out there a lot of a lot of a lot of

uh... job blowers i'm actually i'm gonna do a

search for this now and you guys will just have

to watch it later but i follow somebody on twitter

that does uh... like all these apple updates

it's not i don't think it's an official apple

twitter account but it's like some Apple fan

or something and the Apple blog I Might be I'm

not sure They posted a link to a video of a guy

that apparently bought three iPads and Decided

to smash one of them with a baseball bat That's

just sick seriously, that's like taking $800

and like setting it on fire Yeah, that is stupid,

but I'm sure hilarious for us Even find it funny.

I just found it extremely stupid because it's

one of those things where Well, you know like

you said Stephen, it's a you know $500 or whatever.

It's five hundred dollars. He wasted Yeah, I

mean okay. Here's the thing service says most

iPad owners have Macs and iPhones So yeah, these

are people who already have bought into the the

Apple Method odd now don't get me wrong And John,

I'm sure if you're listening to this, you'll

call me on this and flame me for it. If they

had a couple more features, I actually might

think about an iPad. Oh my god! It's a good piece

of hardware. The only thing is, it's not multitasking.

I mean, okay, it's selective multitasking, how

Apple wants you to multitask. They don't have

that. They don't have camera on it. A camera.

I just want a camera that I can sit there and

Skype somebody with the camera on. A camera on

the front would be nice. I don't even care about

a camera on the back. Whatever. I'm going to

take a picture with my kids. I've got a phone

for that. Whatever. Those two things and a microphone.

You know, a built -in microphone to go with the

camera. And I might actually think about buying

an iPad. It's like a real half -ass laptop is

what it is. It's cool on you want to admit to

this but um we were looking at Music software

and how it relates to the iPad and they have

Apps like music software apps mixers and all

kinds of stuff for like 99 cents when the Actual

device itself is like six hundred two thousand

dollars. It's like hey buy yourself a mixer for

99 cents So if you want to mind the six hundred

dollars, I don't know maybe like on the DJ aspect

of it It's actually pretty cool. There's a lot

of stuff you can do with it But that's about

it. Oh, hey, look at this iPad jailbroken in

record time see the video No, you are already

already jailbroken That's awesome Yeah, I mean

so if there obviously is a demand out there and

there there's if I remember right from our show

They're expecting to sell five to eight million

of these Couch Coasters how would you describe

my cat? Yeah, see that's the thing. Here's the

shiny pillows Nice soft, but yeah, I see what

you're saying. There's the link it was on gizmodo

I guess but it's the guys You know what we before

you can get into that I used to read gizmodo

religiously cuz they always have cool stuff and

it's always breaking but they are so on the Apple

You know what that like it's ridiculous. It's

all they talk about is Apple products now and

that's for I mean There are a few products out

there that not apples that I'm kind of interested

in like when HP came out with their touch smart

computer I want one of those things those things

look awesome The HD did you see the new video

for the the HP sleep? Yeah, I don't really care

for What about the Toshiba that could be a laptop

and a tablet at the same or that one? It's the

one red and black one. I can't remember the maker

of it. Yeah, I think it was Toshiba It is Toshiba.

Yeah, you pull off the top and it becomes a tablet

and you plug it back in it immediately syncs

back up That's cool. I could buy one of those

I could see myself buying one of those I don't

mind paying the $900 it would take to give me

both types of functionality Just $800 for a plain

tablet. That's pushing it Right. Yeah, but you're

also and you still have to buy the service fee,

too No, you don't necessarily have to. If you

want 3G, if you want to carry it around and use

3G, you do. If you don't, then you don't have

to. If you want to just use your Wi -Fi, then

it's like $600 without the 3G. Yeah. And the

other thing people got to realize, they're paying

for the name brand. It's not just the product.

They're paying for Apple's name. Yeah. I mean,

they have priced this really good, though. I

think the lowest one's like 400. I think $500,

$499, yeah. So maybe Target will come out with

a version that I could buy. Target match pad.

The Wally World version. Buyers for $199, it's

got three megs. Three megs of memory. But it

says Apple. Yay! It'll sell a million. Oh, jeez.

That's all I have to say about iPad. Yeah, whatever.

It's an over glorified iPhone with less than

half of the iPhone features. Right. You know

how you can go into Photoshop and you can drag

and drop and expand pictures? They basically

took a picture of the iPhone, took the mouse,

dragged it halfway down the screen so it was

larger, thinner, and that's it. It's an iPhone

for blind people Oh Right put it on a card right

there. Oh boy iPad is an iPhone for blind people

Yeah, actually the funniest thing I saw out there

was a carrying case to actually look like a maxi

pet No, yes, they have one That's a riot. Yes.

It was a maxi pad iPad carrier I actually made

one go figure that's fucking scary Yeah, that's

scary. Just saying, you know. Watch out for that

flow! What did that say? Damn! I'm sorry. I went

there. I have no comment. I'm sorry. So out of

my realm that I just - Retract, retract! I'll

just - Move along, move along. Those aren't the

droids you're looking for. Oh, is that a steel

bikini? Does she have a chain around her neck?

Is he choking her? Is he choking the chicken?

Oh god. Wow. No, she's choking him. Oh my god.

Is he choking his giant tongue? Is he just really

enjoying this experience? i don't remember our

thoughts for a thousand and i i i honestly think

i enjoy the spaceballs ending to the to the hot

character more than star wars well where the

guys being eaten away at the end of the night

so that uh... and i'd like to believe that i

don't think he has a search idiom while he's

talking you know hearing so give it to you ludicrous

speed make it so We've gone to plaid! We can't

stop sir! Stop it so blue! Kind of runs along

this after we're making all those references.

Oh god pretty awesome All right, keep going So

according to Wikipedia the longest -running television

show is meet the press by NBC it is run 61 years

I don't really care to be honest. I don't want

to meet any of them. Not six and a half years

worth, not nothing. One that I did find very

interesting that I did not know this and unfortunately

they kind of botched the show the last six months

or so. The Tonight Show is run for 54 years.

It premiered September 27th, 1954. I knew Letterman

was old, but seriously, that old? Well, and it's

funny, this listing also lists the number of

episodes. The Tonight Show has had 10 ,452 plus

episodes. Oh, wait, Tonight Show's J -level.

Sorry, I was just... Well, Johnny Carson, if

you really want to, you know, beat the actual

host. You know, the host that doesn't screw people

over. No, but he sure could read those cards.

You know the only reason why the only reason

why I ever tuned into Jay's tonight show was

the headlines the headlines were funny Headlines

are funny. So is the stand -up bit his stand

-up bit for the first seven minutes is pretty

decent. No, it's definitely not Okay. Well your

opinion doesn't count here The wonderful world

of Disney is run for 51 years. Hey, wait a second.

That's my number one. I have a list here. Let

me go down my list. My list is much better than

your list. Fine. Wonderful world of Disney, 51

years. Gotta love it. Love the pixie dust. Sabado

Higante, 23 years. Now, I gotta say, if you've

never watched Sabado Higante, you don't need

to know Spanish. You can watch it and still...

Laugh your rear off. Seriously. Gotta watch Sabato

Higante. Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. If you can

get over the creepy fondling of puppets, you

might actually like the show and think that he

wears a sweater every day. All right, now I need

to sidetrack on that because I grew up in the

80s. I was born in 1980, so I'm unfortunately

30 years old now. You're young. Yeah, I'm fucking

old. You're young. I'm a grandpa. He is. And

it's one of those things where I grew up watching

Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. And this was before

the whole Mr. Rogers scandal started. And those

were my educational programs. Wasn't like today

where you have a giant purple fucking dinosaur

trying to teach kids not to trust them. You had

a trolley instead. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Anyways,

keep going. Sorry. And it was an educational

show. It was educational. I make fun of him,

but he did a very good job. Yeah. Yeah. And then

my fourth favorite, 7th Heaven. Hey, it had Jessica

Biel on it. I didn't care about anybody else

on the show. It had Jessica Biel. Jessica Biel.

Like in the fifth season when she started to

phase out, I lost interest. Never watched it

again. Unbelievable. I'm spiritual, but I'm not

religious. So that's one of the reasons why that

show never really it didn't matter it had Jessica

Beale Jessica Beale, but I just put on mute seriously

Fast -forward to Jessica Beale. You'll enjoy

the show No, no seriously, I've got cops here.

Here's some of my my these are my Okay, I'll

go with my all -time favorites. MASH. Absolute

all -time favorite. Nothing has ever superseded

MASH. MASH is absolutely funny, timeless. If

you've not seen MASH, what rock have you been

living under? All -time favorite show. Love it.

Carol Burnett show. Now, Kristen, you've watched

every single Carol Burnett out there. True believe

yes, I believe I have seen every episode see

I mean Carol Burnett is timeless if you go back

and watch Carol Burnett You will still laugh

your rear off in this day and age it is so well

And it's not just like I don't know there's such

a different humor with today shows then Back

then when that was on air obviously I was watching

repeats, but even still even years later watching

repeats, the humor in it is so crisp without

being dirty, without swearing, without doing

any of the other things that people feel they

need to do in order to be funny today. And they

were doing an ad -lib for like 40 % of the show.

I mean, yeah, that's a lot of script. Yeah, totally.

Most of the episodes went totally off script

and it's just brilliant. And you knew when they

went off script because they kind of started

going tongue -in -cheek, but it still was absolutely

hilarious to watch. Great shower. Yeah, and then

My I wouldn't say these are my top shows But

I mean if we're going from this list because

I've got another list of shows that are not on

this list anyways cops Murder she wrote yes,

you can kill me now CSI law and order law and

order SVU Those are my other one two three four

five that I would say are worth watching in this

whole list out of the hundred that they're showing

here Yeah, the only CSI I can actually watch

is the original. I don't watch those knockoffs.

Jerry Sneas belongs in movies, and fuck you David

Caruso, you can't act to save your life. Can't

act to save his life. So tell us how you really

feel, Mike. Well, it's the worst show ever. Or

that particular version of CSI. Is that the Miami

one? Miami, yeah. yeah I don't watch either those

original CSI I hated him in NYPD blue and I hate

him in that's one reasons why I can't watch Miami

and I'm so sick of all these damn spin -offs

that pretty much they don't ruin the original

show but it's like wow what can we do to make

more money now let's give David Caruso a show

that he's not gonna be able to look at the camera

indirectly if you watch any of those episodes

of the CSI Miami he never looks into the camera

directly at all he is always like he'll like

to be sitting in a chair but his head will be

turned to the side a crappy ones all that's good

to show that uh... i do have to go to the street

blues i didn't put that on their looking for

that i don't know if it's on your not one of

the ones that really have no interest in but

as I'm just kind of looking down the list to

see what's how long shows have ran I had no idea

the Phil Donahue show started in 1969. Oh wow.

Were they throwing chairs back then? Were they

bringing on trannies? No that's Jerry Springer

you dummy. Oh dang it. Donahue eventually went

there didn't he? No no and it's funny you mention

that because um You should have. It would have

gotten more ratings. It ended in 1996, which

I think is the year that Jerry Springer premiered.

Actually, I remember that. I think you're right.

It's kind of scary. You know what the crazy part

is? Most of the shows on here... I mean, Kristen,

did you find any other shows that you would say,

okay, yes, that'd be worth... Yeah, there's a

couple. I'd say a good 90 % of these shows are

shows that either I never even heard of or I

never watched. A couple other ones. I pretty

much agree with almost all of your lists. MST

3000. Mr. Science Eater 3000. One of the best

shows. Yes. Cheers. Yes. Everybody knows your

name. Oh, right. Cheers. Oh, and I used to watch

MTV shows back when it was about music, like

MTV Unplugged. Yep. Really? I used to watch it

when there were actual music videos, and then

they started going away from music videos and

I never watched them again. Yeah, me too. Or

MTV and VH1 as well, where they left the music

was once the 80s stopped. Like once we hit the

90s, it was all about shows and everything else.

But back in the 80s, I remember shows on there.

Well, early 90s was still a lot about music because

you had the whole, the grunge scene was really

coming up into the forefront. So there were still

videos. Yeah. I mean, I remember staying up late

at night to watch. If you stay up till 2 o 'clock

in the morning, you'll actually catch videos

in MTV. Oh, now? Yeah. No, I mean, back in the

early 90s, oh, there was this one program. I

think it was started at 2 in the morning, and

it just played all techno music. Yeah. Oh, yeah,

I remember that. I forget the name of it. Oh,

my god, it was such a good show. It was so cool.

No, not really when I was a kid there was reading

rainbow Hee -haw come on 24 years of Hee -haw

You watch that that's your favorite show no no

that was my parents favorite show, and I was

forced away I Want to go over a list that's not

on here, but I think should be mentioned although.

They didn't run that long Star Trek next -gen

seven years not quite ten years Yeah You'll never

guess Knight Rider. How many years would you

guess that Knight Rider went on? I don't have

to guess, I know. Okay, how many? Four. Exactly,

right? I mean, four years. Dukes of Hazzard.

How many years for Dukes of Hazzard? I don't

know, but the thing about... Oh, really? Well,

the thing about this whole thing was, you know,

my plan was to talk about, like, longest running

drama, which is Law and Order. it's just it's

it just amazes me how some of these shows are

on this long because half of them are in syndication

now I Actually, I'm gonna have to go out and

get all the law -and -order DVDs to actually

keep the damn season straight because you can

watch six episodes on USA or WGN or Five from

five seasons ago and jump whatever. Yeah. Yeah,

it jumps around so much in the syndication It's

like you don't know what the hell you're watching

It's like okay. He's doing his wife who's doing

his brother who's wait a second now. They're

in court. I don't understand You know it's unfortunate

is there's so many messed up crimes that they

like never run out of materials That's why it's

been running for so long. I mean, I grew up,

my dad was a cop, and I'm not even kidding. Like,

there's just, there's so many different ridiculous

type of people doing ridiculous new crimes all

the time. Like, that's, that's probably the reason

it's been the longest running. Oh, God. I mean,

it never gets old. Cops never gets old. You got

the crack whores, and you got the drunks, and

you got the disorderly conduct, and then somebody

gets shot once a season. Yeah, uh, the real world

has been on for 18 years. Man, people are getting

shot. That's no big deal. Well, no, I don't know

about the other case when they start getting

all up in it. Yeah. You just like the cover scenes

where you don't see anything, but you see the

covers lumping up and down. You see that they

hear the heavy breathing. They're really watching

real world. I have a big problem with those reality

shows because it's not, it's not real. It's also,

you know, as much as, right. I mean, if you throw

a bunch of horny, retarded teenagers in a room

together without giving them any responsibility,

it's going to be chaos. It doesn't make for good

TV. It just makes me angry. It's showing teenagers

at their worst instead of possibly creating something

that is educational or will, I don't know, make

people feel good about something for spending

half an hour in front of the television. And

so you got crap shows that are then spinning

off crap shows like Real World's Road Rash. uh...

let's see here uh... you know and you know but

on the flip side of that outside of the whole

reality TV thing uh... you know you had shows

tackling issues like drugs like i think i can't

be for certain but uh... 90210 which ran for

ten years the real 90210 not this remake crap

uh... You know that you know that with amber

shoes and what? What'd you say with a? Amberly

these Tiffany Amber Thieson Tiffany Amber Thieson

and the girl who should never be maimed the one

that was on charmed Oh Shannon Doherty Shannon

Doherty that that yeah, yeah that that 90210

Wow only two I remember that Albert and the Cosby

kids ran 13 years Wait, you didn't ask Kristen?

Kristen, so who was on 902? Oh, I don't know,

that cute guy in the hot check, right? I was

just trying to be... Some rich a -holes dealing

with their rich a -hole problems. It sounds good

to me. I think that's what that show is about.

And then you got Cosby Kids, which is actually

dealing with life issues and stuff. Oh, how long

was that? has been shown one uh... because the

show was on nine years that was a good show day

and they did they really did hit some some kind

of down to earth family issues oh yeah you know

it's what fun it's funny i believe i can't be

for sure but i think it that was the might have

been the first book whole black family comedy

thing like i know there was good times all that

stuff back in the news but It was to me it was

the first family comedy that you could actually

sit there and watch and get lessons from Yeah,

good times is pretty I mean if you actually watch

good times Reruns maybe I know yeah, I never

watched good times. It's pretty decent Of course

rest in peace Robert stack unsolved mysteries

ran for 13 years Yeah, that was a good show.

No, it's still running today. It's on spike TV

and you know who the the host of it is? It is

Farina What who is that? It's the guy from God

he's done in so many movies since for industry

He was on law and order for a bit He started

I know he looks like yeah mustache. Yeah Yeah

yeah yeah okay i remember i know yeah he was

on law and order forbid as one of the as the

as the kind of the the redneck cop yeah one of

the detectives older redneck cop yeah yeah he's

like hey i don't want you around here i think

you followed up the the jewish cop yeah oh god

judge judy has been on for 14 years the longest

running reality courtroom show currently in production

I think I've maybe seen one episode of that.

All right. This is totally boring me. I know,

I know. We're getting to the end here. But the

funny thing about Judge Judy is there was a YouTube

clip of a case she was doing, the eBay scammer.

That was just funny as hell. Do you know what?

There's one, OK, the whole courtroom drama thing

absolutely cracks me up because they have Absolutely

no, there's no nothing on the line other than

what they say that they they could possibly do

It's like crazy, but there was actually a courtroom

drama where somebody got arrested Guys start

talking back. He's like dude. Shut up. He kept

talking back No, no, no you shut up where I'm

gonna arrest you right here He says I don't know

and he started going off and beep -a -deep -deep

So he gets the bail to come in put them in the

cuffs and take them out Seriously, somebody actually

got arrested on a courtroom drama. That is awesome.

Never happened on Joe Dwapner's case, but...

The People's Court! Oh, whatever. I won't even

go there. Yeah. Rest in peace, Joe Dwapner. If

you're not dead, you should be. I don't know,

come on! The love connection lasted 11 years.

Oh my god the love connection That was the most

horrid dating show the worst yeah You watch it

just to see the train wreck it like wah -wah,

you know never get this chick But they'd always

try to put them together. No, yeah You know,

and I think with the mid to late 90s is where

everything started of, oh, we want the true story

behind the celebrities. So we have E! True Hollywood

Story, premiered in 1996. They've aired over

500 plus episodes. Yeah. OK. I don't think I've

watched one of them. Oh, god. I think I've seen

hundreds of them. Yeah, I have too. What it is

I like seeing all of the just the dirt and grossness

behind Okay, if I wanted that I'd go walk out

in the street what I go walk out on the street

and I mean real life There's why do I care about

the the what goes on in actors lives? I don't

know you know what because they're so They're

so rare on such a pedestal from you know from

us lowly moviegoers And I like to see that they're

regular people and they have shit to deal with

and You know domestic disputes and all kinds

of crap domestic violence they can get out of

yeah, it makes me feel better murders about myself.

Oh Wow, I can only abuse my significant other

I didn't shoot him XYZ oh wait, or am I getting

that confused with cops? Well, that too. I cannot

believe that the original syndicated turtles

series ended on my birthday in 1990 February

9th 1990 and then it was switched over to CBS

and ran six more years Yay Ninja Turtles was

the shit. Yep, seriously Wow Murphy, I got a

permanent hankering for pizza from that comic

Dude yeah, oh man. Maybe that's where my permit

creaming comes from yeah, but they had weird

They always did the weird toppings. I didn't

dig like like whipped cream pizza. Oh Okay, I'll

have chocolate pops on mine Hurry quick. Who's

your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Donatello

easily Don't seriously yep Who's the orange guy?

Who's the surfer dude? Michelangelo. Michelangelo,

yeah. Nice. Dude. I think he was smoking a doobie

before the cartoon and he came on and he did

his lines and he went off and was still smoking

doobies. I mean, like what? You could say that

about a lot of Edie's cartoon series, though.

The Smurfs. So let's not go there. I'm just saying.

Do you know what color a Smurf turns if you choke

it? Purple? Green. Oh, gosh. Oh. I didn't get

that. It's not a joke. It's an actual fact over

on Tooncast way back an episode, I think. It's

a fact for a mythical creature that started in

a different tune. Whatever. Can't believe who

wants to be a millionaire has been on for ten

years and it's aired over 1 ,000 episodes. Holy

crap Yeah, I hate to tell them but like half

of their earnings go to the government So nobody

ever becomes a who wants a millionaire off that

show. It might be a 500 ,000 air Yeah, that's

one thing about those game shows that I I hate

so much is that they show you all this all you

want all this money or you won this trip Yet

they don't tell you oh wait you got to pay taxes

on it and give half of it to the government Morons,

you should they should start adding that disclaimer

like in their theme song like who wants to be

a millionaire before taxes I Think you should

write that song And of course, I don't know if

we mentioned it on -air yet or not, but we mentioned

it off -air. CSI, the original CSI has run 10

years so far, and it is still running. It's had

over 200 episodes. You know what the most memorable

CSI for me was? What? The guy who had a fetish

for babies. Ah, wow! The guy who would dress

up in Pampers and had a whole room of a nurse

and he would have a nerdy... He actually had...

paid a nursemaid to suck him, suckle him. It

was gross, but the guy fell over. Is that the

one where they had a separate room? Yeah, that

you had to crawl through. Oh God, I saw that

one. Adult size. Yeah, yeah. And he paid this

21 -year -old who had just had a baby to suckle

him and fell over the back. Oh my God. I'm serious,

it was wicked. Oh God, oh yeah, it was so creepy.

I can't believe they're going there. Yeah, it

was an adult size like baby room with like an

adult size baby crib I think it was last season

or two seasons ago on law and order SVU which

is one of my favorites they had Robin Williams

guest starring and Wow It's just some of the

you know Robin Williams even though he is a comedian

some of those serious roles that he's done is

just like holy crap that's completely creepy

uh... like the one hour photo thing uh... and

this episode i don't remember the whole context

of it but he was stalking somebody's kid or doing

something else he was supposedly accused of killing

somebody's kid or something and it was just like

he just played the role really really creepy

and it was just a complete departure from everything

else he's done Do we have any other shows we

would like to talk about? No, I think I hit Babylon

5 and Hill Street Blues five years and six years

Both excellent series, but didn't obviously make

the ten -year mark. Yeah Yeah, I'm surprised.

I didn't see long on that long order LA law on

here. I could have sworn that thing hit ten years

Nobody remembers LA law I didn't care for LA

law I loved L .A. Law. All right, so do we have

anything else we want to say either on the topic

or off the topic? No, I think I pretty much ruined

your show. I'm good. I ruin the show every time

I do it, so... No, it's one of those things where

if people want to listen, they can. If they don't

want to listen, it's not like we're forcing them

to. But I really don't like it when podcasters

come on, whether it's on our shows or just their

shows in general, and just pander to their listeners

and say, oh, well, for the three people that

are actually listening to this show, I hate that.

That is so unprofessional. OK, it just depends

on what they're trying to gain. If they're trying

to seal all your listeners, then yeah, I'd say

that's a good tactic. Well, if they're trying

to be funny and they're failing miserably, it's

not a very good tactic. Alright, why don't you

guys pimp out your stuff here. Stephen, what

do you want for our listeners to go to? Yeah,
