Loot Crate Unboxing and Gotham First Impressions

Hey guys, this is Rob Paulson and you're listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. You are now on

the inside of what I like to call the circle

of trust. We are all connected in a great circle

of life. You know something Bert? What? I think

you and I are going in circles. It feels like

we're going in circles. The circuit is now complete.

When I left you, I was but the learner. Now,

I am the master. Because it's a circle. Yeah,

we heard about the circle. Yeah, I just wouldn't

believe it changed. Hi, this is Chuck. This is

Greg. And this is Dan, and we are... Talking

in circles brought to you by the Ecast Radio

Network, a podcast that's all about the news

of the weird. I say that because this week we'll

be talking about those strange but true news

stories as we get into the weird and wacky of,

you know, the world. I'm sure we'll talk about

Florida in some capacity because that's what

we do. But before we get to all the craziness,

how's the week been going for you guys? Eh, not

too bad. Pretty, pretty... Excited because I

got to have some meatloaf leftovers tonight.

So that's that's always fun time meatloaf Did

you yell your mom? Give me some meatloaf while

that was happening? Yeah, I had some guy over

my couch like mom me love You know, I think meatloaf

tastes like better as leftovers, it's uncanny

it is one of those foods Yeah, I honestly I almost

as a leftover kind of prefer a cold Might be

weird. Yeah. You ever make a sandwich out of

it? I have. That's a good time. Good old meatloaf

sandwiches. Only in America. Let's make a loaf

of meat. I mean, you have, what, the double decker

or whatever it's called? A KFC with a chicken

sandwich where it's two chicken things and bacon.

The KFC Double Down? The Double Down, yeah. How

ridiculous is our country? We'll find out later

today as we get into some really crazy news stories.

Exactly. Greg, how's your week been going? It's

been all right. I'm trying to think of anything

interesting, story, fun, out and about -wise.

And I really don't have one, to be quite honest.

I'm sorry, everybody. Don't hate me. You have

failed this podcast. I know. We're actually we're

actually recording this a little closer together

than our normal podcast. We Just people have

you already listened to it. Maybe you have we

were just recently on the geek cast radio They

did a spotlight on our podcast. So go check that

out if you wish So we're recording schedules

a little bit different. So in a short week, not

that much to talk about honestly Regarding our

lives, you know when you're old that happens

you kind of just you know You work and then you

go to sleep and then that's pretty much your

day. So but I know, Greg, you did get some cool

stuff in the mail. Is that not true? Yeah, if

you guys are not listening to a lot of podcasts,

a lot of podcasts advertise for this company

called Loot Crate. Especially if you've been

listening to the indoor kids, they usually pimp

Loot Crate a lot. We're not getting paid by Loot

Crate at all. It would be awesome if we did.

But I just signed up for it thinking it sounded

kind of interesting. And I finally got my first

package from Loot Crate. And so I was going to

kind of go over with you guys the stuff that

came in my Loot Crate. So first off, we have

a Star Trek Tribble. And it's an exclusive one

for Loot Crate. It comes in a special only for

Loot Crate customers only color. And it comes

in this lovely little plastic container for them.

They created their own color? I didn't even know

you could do that. That is amazing. Own color.

Well, it's a special color for Loot Crate customers.

It's kind of like this orangey blonde type of

treble. What's a triple by the way? I'm showing

my lack of Star Wars or Star Trek knowledge.

It's those little fuzzy creatures that multiply

really quickly. So it's like a hornier, hairier

version of me. I don't think that's possible.

If I was a tiny little ball. Second off, I got

from the movie Alien, I have an alien reaction

figure, as they call it. It comes from my Currently

becoming my favorite company funco. It's not

one of those vinyl pop figures It's it's like

old school kind of like when Star Wars first

came out one of those Action Star Wars action

figures. It's pretty neat I didn't take it out

of the packaging yet because it's kind of in

those bubble packs and I'm determining whether

I should Take it out or not. Have you seen alien

or is that one on your have not seen list? That

is one on my have not seen list So but I know

of alien. I think I've seen actually the one

where it's alien versus predator I think I've

seen entirety of that one and it's probably the

worst one out there. I bet too Yeah, you have

that alien resurrection are both pretty pretty

bad Yeah, we got to get I mean we need to do

a homework assignment because like I just have

all this listing of things for Greg the watch

that I Don't know where to even begin Might be

like an extra credit like season -long semester

project, you know, it's like 20 % of your grade.

I have so much stuff to do, Dan. I have so much

stuff. Well, you gotta watch Alien. You're gonna

like it. That's why. Okay, I'll try. I'll try

and get it in, Dan. Having a nice Terminator

and RoboCop. Yeah, Terminator and RoboCop, geez.

You just like skipped the 80s the decade of the

80s Didn't like the 80s. Oh cuz I didn't care

for the music that much get out of here. Just

get out I'm so sorry. That is a personal affront

against me Sorry, Chuck The next thing that's

in the box in the loot crate is a firefly vinyl

now from firefly the captain of the ship We have

a little vinyl action figure. He's one of those,

also by Funko. He's like a little mini mystery

vinyl figure. It's kind of a different design

than the regular vinyl pops and he's pretty cool.

Nicely put together he is. That sounds wrong.

Then next up we have another item from Firefly.

It's Firefly Bank Robbery Money. So all it is

is pieces of paper. Like, I have a stack of cash

here that looks like it's from a different planet.

It has a little band around it. Like, if you

get a stack of ones, it's kind of stacked in

there like that. I don't know what the hell I'm

really supposed to do with that. I'm like...

All right, this is kind of useless travel to

another land you got you got some data If I'm

traveling Galactically sounds like they wanted

to clear out some firefly stuff out of the warehouse

If you want to the dorkiest strip club you can

make it rain I so want to do that. The little

club in Mos Eisley in Star Wars. Somebody should

set that up with all the loot crate people and

just have like just a stripper and like we'll

trade in money, actual money for it. And so we'll

like we'll make it rain with the money we get

in the loot crate, but she'll actually get money

and then she'll be like kind of cosplayed up.

That'd be kind of interesting. There's a idea

there. Yeah, we can send you strippers in the

mail Yes, it's a subscription a porn star Subscription

will send it right to your door or her right

to your door or him or him. It could be a lady

But next up I have the Star Wars exclusive retro

arcade magnet. It's kind of like jiver play The

old -school like Atari video game asteroids.

Yes You're it's just like these little white

white white outlines on a black background and

everything I'm playing some asteroids. I used

to play that on my phone when that was like the

best game you could get on your phone Yeah, it's

like we got asteroids and pong Living it large,

but this one it's they have it set to look like

when the Millennium Falcon flies into the asteroid

fields and they go down that tunnel and it's

actually a giant space worm and so they have

to fly out and everything so they kind of have

that scene going on on the magnet it's pretty

cool I don't know why mine kind of the corners

of it are kind of gnarled up a little bit I'm

not sure if that's typical of Loot Crate, but

I could say that because they're not advertising

with us. So I could give you an honest opinion,

people. Next up, they give you a Star Wars poster.

It's a 9 by 27. It's just a single sheet of paper

in that size, and it's of Han Solo in carbonite.

So that's pretty interesting. My walls are kind

of filled at this point with artwork that's a

lot more expensive. than that. So I don't know

what the hell I can actually do with it. Nine

by twenty seven. That's kind of an odd size.

Right. Well, they had to fit it inside the box

that they send the stuff in, which send this

poster back. It's too light for a box. Yeah.

Like a panoramic or something. It's very long.

Like I said, it's Han Solo and the carbonite.

So it's very tall and very slim. It has I heard

as a feature too and you say I love this poster.

It says I know It's a little button down And

then the last two things they give you little

pouch of pop rocks I got green apple. I don't

know what that has to do really with Galactic

stuff. I think they're just trying to get those

out of the starts with a G, you know, yeah Green

apple it's it's candy from the future Well years

ago So well they give you they give you this

little book and that's what I'm reading each

thing out of Instead of having the box and taking

everything out of it But uh, so their description

is carbonated candy that crackles and pops on

your tongue and will absolutely not kill you

if combined with your favorite fizzy drink toss

a packet of these little poppin asteroids back

and experience some nostalgia So apparently they're

just trying to tell you that they're like little

asteroids to kind of put it in with the galactic

theme I guess I love how they have to put that

disclaimer in there, like, you can drink soda

with these. It's OK. And then the last thing

that they have in here is it's bonus digital

loot. It's essentially they give you this little

paper card and you could go online and you can

get an issue of Halo. comic book and so you just

have a little redemption redemption code and

you could go on there and redeem a digital comic

to read and that's everything in the box and

actually the inside of the box is kind of pretty

cool because you open it up and it's like a little

diorama in there where on the inside of the box

they have drawn out like the inside of a spaceship

and you can kind of see r2d2 on the side there

a little bit but That's that's kind of neat.

You could set up your little firefly figure in

there like he's in Star Wars So is this the first

one you got so far? Yes, this is the first one

I got the last one out I ordered a little bit

too late And so I actually had to wait a full

month for this one instead of like signing up

like a couple of days Beforehand and not having

that long to wait. So the suspense was kind of

killing me in the meantime So you you have like

no idea what you're gonna get just like a box

of surprise Yeah, it's it's they they tell you

what the theme is gonna be like I knew the theme

was galactic and they kind of uh, Oh, we've got

a partnership going with funko now So there's

gonna be some awesome funko stuff and they're

like, oh there's gonna be something from star

wars in there There's gonna be something from

star trek and there's gonna be something from

uh Firefly and so they they did that kind of

stuff Interesting. So are you overall satisfied

with the first box you got? Yeah, it was pretty

cool. They I think it's like It depends on how

long you're going with it If it's just one month

three month or six month of what your savings

are and I think it's about 12 or 13 bucks a month

And I think for the amount of stuff, like I think

the reaction figure might be something that's

like near 10 bucks just by itself. And so with

the other added stuff, like the treble and everything,

I think they do kind of give you a good value

for the money you're paying. It's just that some

of the stuff is kind of trinkety type of things

like the Pop Rocks. and there's there's actually

a button in there too which says that you've

gotten the galactic loot for the this month and

everything so it's it's interesting i i don't

think it would be really for everybody and there's

definitely stuff in here that maybe is not for

me like that money stuff the fire money from

firefly is just kind of a weird thing to have

in there so i think you're going to have stuff

like that but overall it was pretty cool Yeah,

I'm sure it's stuff you can tell them like, you

know, I saw on eBay and be like here fire fire

flans go nuts Yeah, very cool. Yeah, but I do

like the strip club Galactic strip club idea

though. Yeah Yeah, there you go. We should we'll

write that one down and see if we can make it

work But Chuck, I mean, I believe were you gonna

keep the comic book theme going like we talked

a lot of comics last week Have you also kept

it up and read something this week? I have taken

down my list with with small swings of the axe.

The mighty oak will fall. You know, I have a

big list to read here, so I kept that. This was

actually something that a friend at work gave

to me to borrow, and it's called The Lamb and

the Furor. It was a trade paperback by Kingston

Comics, which is a different company that we're

not used to talking about. This book is written

by Dr. Ravi Zachariah and the art is by Jeff

Slemons and Jeff Isherwood. It's very new comic.

It just came out this year and basically it's

about Hitler's final moments before he killed

himself when the war was lost and then it kind

of covers his conversation with Jesus and then

one of the very men that he had executed Dietrich

Bonhoeffer. who was an advisor to Hitler that

ended up attempting a plot to kill Hitler and

failed. And so Hitler had him executed. So you

have this dynamic of of Hitler, the one the one

that that so many people would point to if you

asked them, like, who's the most evil person

you can think of? And then you have Jesus Christ.

Yeah. And then on the other hand, you have Jesus

Christ, you know, the son of God and the most

morally sound person to ever live. And they're

having this conversation about Hitler's life.

And, you know, in the in the first half is all

like the like how the events happened and everything.

And from what they know about his last days and

his last moments and everything. So, you know,

towards like the second half of the book, you

have Jesus talking to him in a very rational

way. and he's pointing out how Hitler missed

the whole point of leading a nation. You know,

it's not to be done by force, but by service.

You know, you serve your people and you show

love for them, not try to force them to follow

your will. And, you know, Hitler never understood

this and he threw through the book. He kind of

he just doesn't get it. So this is a very interesting

meeting and conversation between these three

men. And the writing in this is spectacular.

I mean, if you've ever wondered what kind of

person could do the things Hitler did, what would

it be like to see and hear him. This is a take

on it that's very interesting and very believable,

in my opinion. The art throughout the whole thing

is really great. It's a very modern style of

comic art, very enjoyable visually through the

whole book. And I would highly recommend the

book to anybody. It was a great read. I especially

would recommend it to Somebody that's really

into history Dan I especially think you would

be into it and maybe Greg too because of you

guys having an interest in history in general

and and Dan even some World War two history and

it kind of you know talked about the place of

some of the things he did and the politics and

how it relates to Morality and stuff like that,

but I honestly think anybody can can pick it

up and enjoy it really really interesting concept

and I was pleasantly surprised when I read it,

because I wasn't sure what to expect. So is Keystone

Comics, is that based out of Pennsylvania? No,

it's a Kingstone Comics. Oh, Kingstone, OK. K

-I -N -G, yeah. Interesting. I thought it was

Keystone as well. Yeah, well, my nasally raspy

voice once again messes stuff up. Yeah, man,

that's kind of an interesting concept. I know

when we did like the over the party a six episode

with different conversations with all the people

that would be there. That'd be one that would

be kind of take part of that would be rather

insane a little bit. The book can get very intellectual

in spots because just because the author is a

super smart guy. And it does get wordy at spots,

but it works itself out and it ends up being

a solid book. And honestly, like I had never

heard of this at all. And one of my friends at

work. told me about it and said he would let

me borrow it and everything. And I was like,

OK, you know, what's this going to be like? And,

you know, I read it and I was kind of blown away.

It was actually really, really good. And, you

know, Kingston Comics, they got some some great

writers and some great artists over there. And

I've seen some of the other stuff that they they

have available. Their stuff is cheap. It's like

10, 12 bucks for like a trade. So there's some

other things that I have my eye on. That they're

gonna be coming out with so it's it's pretty

interesting. Is it mostly historical base like

this one or is it kind of run the gamut? um,

I think it's mostly like It's mostly like history

and Christian base stuff like that but they have

stuff like You know, the Dave and Goliath fight,

like I would love to see that in comic form because

that's something that I would think would be

really cool to see, you know, just the whole

thing of slaying the giant and everything. I

think that would be a good read as well. Very

cool. Awesome. Very nice. And the finish before

we get to our big stuff. Today, I know we all

got the opportunity to I know fall movie season

not fall movie season, but fall television season

has Begun and one of the bigger shows of the

debut has finally come out and that is Gotham

And I believe we've all had the opportunity to

watch it. Is that correct? Yes, sir So I guess

you know one episode and you can never be too

sure of the pilot Sometimes pilots are great

and the show is not very good. Sometimes pilots

are awful. The show ends up being pretty solid,

but what are our first impressions regarding

the show of Gotham? Greg, after watching the

first episode, do you feel like it's a show you'll

continue on? I'll try to. You know me, I usually

don't remember when something's on or something

will happen and I'll miss an episode and won't

be able to see it ever again. So hopefully I

will. I really enjoyed it. My favorite thing

from the whole thing was just seeing the villains

for the most part. Actually, they're not the

main characters, but I really enjoyed seeing

the villains and everything that took place with

them and how they got them involved. Overall,

it was great acting by the entire cast. The story

was... It was pretty good. I don't think it was

too spectacular, but it was solid. It didn't

go over my expectations, but it definitely met

them. And after seeing in different movies the

death of Bruce's parents, I think that was seeing

it now in TV form. I think that was the show's

biggest downfall. So if that's the show's biggest

downfall is that they couldn't keep up with a

movie production value or suspense with that.

I think they're they're doing all right, even

though they can't keep up with that. Chuck, what

did you think? I liked it. I thought it was exciting,

you know, kept my interest for sure. I like Greg.

I don't think it was anything spectacular. It

didn't like blow me out of the water or anything.

I did have some issues with it, which I can get

into in a minute, but I do like how they use

the Wayne murders as they're kind of like their

launching point in the events immediately after

that. I like how they they went about finding

the killer, but kind of touched on how big of

a deal it would have been to the city because

of the high profile nature of the of the case

with the Waynes being like the richest people

and the most well respected people in Gotham.

It's funny because I wasn't watching the clock

when I was watching the show and when they caught

that this Mario Pepper guy and Everyone thought

mystery solved. I was like, okay, that's the

end of the episode. That was all right And I

didn't realize there was still like 20 minutes

left to the show So it was kind of funny, but

they went some different directions with it with

with the mob and the corruption of the police

department I thought that was a really cool angle

and I like how they I like how they started off

with that Yeah, I did like how the mob in a way.

It wasn't completely a bad guy I guess to kind

of spoil it a little bit like how there was Falcone

he kind of Had a little bit of a morocco and

a little you know He wasn't he still had some

respect for the city and how that kind of played

out that was surprising I'm also a big fan of

the actor. Oh, yeah Yeah John Domen he was in

the wire. He played a Police chief in the wire

and he was like one of the biggest tools in the

world. We play the part perfectly He's good at

playing the tool Dan There was a show that I

was watching on Netflix and I need to get back

into again it I forget exactly the title of it

But it's about the Borgia family and he played

the Pope and in that he's real big dick in that

Yeah, but going into this I guess my goal was

when like my hope Seeing this was okay. Well,

this isn't a Batman show. It's supposed to be

in Gotham So is the main story gonna be interesting

enough to keep my attention and it was and I

agree that I think the cast is rather strong

Yeah, the guy who's playing James Gordon Ben

McKenzie. I think he is good. He doesn't necessarily

His persona and it's not necessarily what I would

think of as a Jim Gordon per se He's a little

bit more action hero II. I mean, I mean he's

a little bit more I always viewed like Jim gordon

as you're more more like an average not an average

cop but like a guy who is not like You know a

gq model, but you know, it's a tv show. So not

a big deal But I think mckenzie's he's charismatic

enough and also Um, I i don't log to me as a

great actor. He's been a lot of great stuff.

So oh, yeah It works well as bullock. They have

an interesting like give and take there. So I

think it does have a strong cast I wasn't the

biggest fan of jada pinkett smith that in her

role. I thought she didn't work out all that

Well, but everybody else like the guy who paid

penguin. I thought he was great Yeah, I do think

though like my worry is I know it was a pilot

episode But I felt like they were shoehorning

in like hey, look at this character Hey, look

at this character like kind of left and right.

Absolutely. Yeah and I just hope they kind of

dial that back because one you're going to run

out of characters and yeah and two it's like

I don't know it just feels like you're just trying

to you're doing that as fan service not in service

of the story and I mean like for example there's

poison ivy as a kid and I don't necessarily need

think he needed that like it didn't add anything

except it didn't it if anything it was unnecessary

So that that I had an issue with so I hope they

kind of stopped doing that to go on But I think

overall it was successful and I would I'm looking

forward to two more episodes But Chuck you mentioned

you had some issues as well Yeah, and I I agree

with with yours there too many too many villains

revealed for one episode I think you know kind

of like take it back a notch You have plenty

of episodes to try to like introduce some of

these play, you know characters And it was just

like, it just seemed too convenient to me. It's

like, OK, they're talking to this guy. And it

just happens that that guy, you know, he's going

to become the Riddler and or whoever. And like

you mentioned, the poison ivy one, that one was

kind of the straw that broke the camel's back

for me. I was like, OK, you know, like that's

a little bit too convenient that that happens

to be the exact. And she's stroking up plants.

Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean it was a little much to

throw in the first episode. I think they could

kind of spread that out a little more Yeah, like

I didn't mind the little nods like catwoman like

the girls played catwoman because that was just

like Almost like it like it just a nice little

bookend thing that didn't really affect the story

That to me was fine. But yeah, the poison ivy

thing was just a little bit ridiculous Yeah,

and I mean the second thing I guess when I started

the show This is something that I kind of was

seeking to find out. And that was the time period.

So I'm watching for certain things. And I see,

you know, I see as a cell phone in the one scene

and it kind of rings and everything. But I'm

still confused because they're driving this old

like 80s car around for their police car. And

I'm like, what the hell is going on here? Like,

I'm not sure if they're are they 80s, 90s? Are

they current? Like, I don't know. What did you

guys get from that? Was surprised I felt like

it was current time because some of the technology

they had I thought it'd be more Either like timeless

or I don't know to me. It's not it felt like

it was just almost like Tim Burton's movie in

1989 which was a little bit of Existed in like

a time warp where you know, it was a combination

of old and new stuff. I don't know Greg. What

did you think? You kind of said everything there,

Dan. I kind of agree with you. I think it's supposed

to take place in present time, though, and they're

just trying to give it a little bit of an old

-school, gritty police drama cop car with an

older car. It was a very nice -looking older

car. It looked like it was in great condition.

I think they should have scuffed it up and made

it look a little scummier. give it a little bit

more old -time feel and maybe make it feel like

we're in present time, but they just have an

old scummy car. Yeah. I mean, I think, I'm not

positive, but I think there were computers on

the desks at the police department. I could be

wrong, but just the whole look of that, the inside

of their police department kind of had that old

look to it, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I was surprised

it wasn't very stylized at all for a Batman TV

show was just it was shot Just like a normal

cop show. I don't know if that was intentional

There were some well except for the the whole

thing which which they seem to do in everything

to do with Batman when they show Gotham there's

just a shit ton of Fog and steam and smoke like

in the streets. I'm like who's Freaking city

looks like that. Like that's not really realistic,

but they seem to do that when they represent

Gotham. It's kind of funny. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

there were some some like. Little camera truck

service is one of came out of nowhere It was

when gordon was like chasing down the guy Through

like the kitchen and like they they panned really

quick to like a third person where you're looking

right at his face like a Almost like a gopro

shot for a few times. I'm like, why are they

doing that? It was like a weird action shot It

wasn't it wasn't anything huge, but I felt like

okay They're trying to come up with some sort

of staple from the show And here's one of a shot

that we're going to use and it didn't really

do much but yeah one one thing too that I really

didn't like was They did obviously cover Bruce

Wayne. But to me, it looks like they're making

him just too dark and brooding already. You know,

and it's kind of like, you know, he should still

be in this grieving and mourning stage or he's

crying. I mean, he's like, was he like eight

years old for crying out loud? And you have,

you know, Jim Gordon come in the house and talk

to them. And he makes a comment about he's glad

that the guy is still alive or something. It's

like what kid would say that? They're just making

them too dark ready and he's like, oh, I'm trying

to conquer my fears. I'm like, no, you're not

you're eight Like you're not gonna be Batman

for like another 12 years. So yeah, I do like

the fact that Gordon kind of pins like his fate

on on Bruce Wayne I thought that was kind of

interesting with knowing that he's gonna come

Become Batman one day and kind of the start of

their relationship Yeah, and I do like also I

guess I don't want to say like and overly like

it, but it was a different twist how they kind

of made Catwoman as a witness to the murder of

his parents Yeah, I didn't know right right at

the beginning of the show It's like the first

scene and she's kind of there to see it. It's

like, okay, that's a little bit different twist

Like the catwoman that they have going on she

kind of gives me a Lissa Milano feel I'm just

gonna let you guys carry that thought off to

where you want to take it because I don't want

to explain why I think that Okay Yeah, I mean

I mean I I'm curious like how that's gonna work

with guarding Bruce Wayne and if he's gonna become

more if he's gonna be in the show that much or

is it just He's just here every so often or how

that's gonna work. So Yeah, because I mean after

a while you're gonna be like, well, where's Batman?

I mean, I don't know. I mean, yeah, it made me

wonder, you know, they're showing Catwoman in

these different sequences, never actually giving

her any lines or anything. But it's like, OK,

are they going to try to cultivate a relationship

between these two? Since like she's obviously

still young, too. But it's curious, you know,

moving forward, what they're going to do with

that. Yeah, I would hope they. You know, they

don't bring Bruce Wayne in that much because

then it becomes like just noticeable the fact

that you're not watching a Batman TV show so

Yeah, but yeah anything else about Gotham before

we take a break. I Would just like say that Alfred

was a little bit more outspoken and spunky than

I envisioned He's also sounded very Australian

Random stuff. Yeah, he seems a little younger

than I expected. I was like, who's that guy?

Oh, it's Alfred Alfred should always be old Yeah,

it's just like I just it just seems weird But

yeah, I guess it makes sense since you know Bruce

is a younger kid that Alfred would be younger

But still it just seems weird. It's awkward.

Yeah, I'd be like seeing mr. Feeney as a young

guy. It's like that doesn't seem like it works

Alright, so we're gonna take a quick break and

we come back. We'll be getting into the weird

and the wacky. So we'll see you in a bit Grab

mentioned at the top of the show today We're

gonna be getting into some strange but true news

stories. You've done this a couple times so far

we've unearthed You know some odd things some

people getting stuck in some awkward places and

some you know, some weird theories regarding

Dolphins and Vladimir Putin. So, you know who

knows we're gonna get into but I don't know.

Well, you guys would like to start this today

I mean, I have a couple stories and that you

guys have a couple stories nothing really big

but Any anything that any jumping anything jumping

out to you that you know, this is where we need

to start I have something but it's not really

news. It's I found it on reddit and it's a subreddit

called today I fucked up that I would like to

Read and discuss maybe is that all right? Yeah

go right ahead Okay, so this one's labeled Today

I fucked up by trying to have sex with a woman

in the woods All right So I've been seeing this

girl for a few weeks and last night was her birthday

after having a few drinks downtown I suggested

we take it back to my place We've had sex several

times already. Make sure he emphasizes that good

job, bud She says how about you fuck me in your

car? Now, my car is a small Hyundai, and I tell

her that it would probably be an impossible feat.

She's drunk and insistent, however, so I comply.

Twenty minutes later, we're bouncing around on

a small forest service road outside of town,

looking for a suitable place to get it on. Me,

being a little paranoid, decided to take my car

down what appeared to be a small quad trail,

just to be certain we wouldn't be interrupted.

I put on some music, we took off our clothes,

and proceeded to get things going. My original

assessment of the situa - was accurate, however,

my car was too small for her comfortably to get

on top. It ended up being frustrating for both

of us. Let's have sex on the hood of my car,

I suggest. We pile out of my car, both stark

naked and getting things going on the hood. All

at once, in a suddenly sobering moment, I hear

my car door shut and I realize that the engine

is running. She recognizes the severity of the

situation as well. Shit, we are locked out. We

were. and we shuffled to the passenger side door,

trying not to slip and slide in the slick mud,

which now coated our feet. I don't know why they

took their shoes off. The passenger doors was

locked as well. Unfortunately, the window was

cracked open a few inches, however, and she reached

her arm and tried to unlock the door from the

inside. This was easily the least sexy moment

of my life as we were both standing there in

the moonlight, trying to gain access to my car.

My worst fear was suddenly realized. I saw headlights

coming up the road. Shit! car, I yelled. With

the intensity of a bomb defusing scene in an

action movie, I stood behind her, sweating bullets

and urging her to hurry. Suddenly, she yelled,

I got it. She unlocked the door and I quickly

ran to the driver's side. Evidently, I ran too

quickly. However, I ended up slipping and falling

balls first in mud. It's got to hurt laying in

on your balls. The headlights were almost on

me when I scurried back to my feet and hopped

in the driver's seat. She was freaking out and

yelled, go, go, go. I slammed it into drive and

whipped the car around to go down the road from

where we came. Earlier, I mentioned that it was

a quad trail and that I drive a small Honda.

As I attempted to complete a hasty U -turn, my

tires fell into the deep ruts. in the road and

I was stuck. I frantically shifted the car from

first gear to reverse but we were legitimately

stuck. We sat there vulnerable in our car, still

naked and muddy, helpless, watching as we were

slowly broadsided by a couple of pickup trucks.

They put their vehicles in park and stepped out.

The girl I was with quickly covered herself with

random clothing articles in the car. A middle

-aged dude approached the car with First a look

of concern then suddenly a look of awkwardness

and alarm overtook him as he noticed both of

us were naked Y 'all stuck he asked trying to

hide a smile in the end he and about four other

guys helped me Push my car out of the ditch.

I enthusiastically waved with one hand covering

my junk with the other Thank you. We appreciated

it. I shouted and they all just laughed Reminds

me of well not a Great way to respond to that.

No, but reminds me of a time when we went to

This corn maze and one of our car friends cars

got stuck in the mud And Yeah, so it got stuck

we couldn't push it out And then our other friend

Dan came around. He he has like a forget what

he has like a nice UV of some sort So he ties

the car, you know, he ties the rope to the car

and tries to pull it out gets in his car Throws

in the drive, you know, it's a really really

muddy road because it's the winter or the fall

in Pennsylvania so there's one everywhere and

When he guns it the car doesn't move at all But

what does move it what he is what he tied it

to it which was like his underneath bumper Including

what we later found out was the fuel line So

I knew it was the fuel line because you could

see the the door for the fuel push in as he's

driving away and then you could see the pipe

knock out of the back. Yeah. And it just like

went all over the place. And then the funnier

thing happened when that guy had to then, you

know. It was at the where we lived the only other

option at that point was calling his parents

and that was an awkward conversation that I can

Tell you that I don't know much about cars, but

I was put on the spot at that moment So it was

it was interesting. I felt really bad It was

it was it was someone trying to do a nice thing

and it just didn't end up working out I left

it at a time because it was kind of funny, but

it you know, it's one Just you guys Danny knows

a lot about gas parts. It's all I'm saying, you

know a lot about gas parts, Dan I do know so

if yeah, I do know a lot about I do now I do

now know a lot about gas parts, but yeah, so

Be careful when you pulling stuff out of mud,

especially if it's a naked body, I guess, you

know Don't know how those are to relate. But

yeah interesting Alright Chuck I don't know how

you follow, you know, that, but what do you got

for us today? Well, this is a story that kind

of hits close to home for us Pennsylvania folk.

And it doesn't really represent us in the best

light, I got to say. That seems shocking. Yeah.

Oh yeah. This. Well, first I'll read the headline,

which will pretty much sum up everything. And

here's the headline. Man caught trying to take

pictures of women's skirts. At Walmart. Oh, wow.

And of all the places, apparently he's never

seen the women that frequent Walmart or else

he would not have chosen to try to take pictures

of them. You got to get some of Greg's fake money.

Just, you know, I'm sure you'd be able to get

a free show. So or you can just go to, you know,

people of Walmart dot com. They're just as revealing

pictures you won't even need to Like the lady

who has no shirt on she just tucks everything

into her pants Or the or the old man that uh

takes a plastic Walmart bag and cuts the bottom

out and wears it as a tank top They say no shirt

no service, but I'll get around that I guess

this is this took place in Union County, Pennsylvania,

which isn't too awful far from where we're at,

you know, probably like an hour away or something.

But yeah, it was it was all over the Internet

and everybody at work was joking about it. We

all got a big laugh out of it. I mean, obviously,

very disgusting act. And the picture they show

of the guy, too, is just priceless. Like the

guy just looks. They caught him on the surveillance

game, like doing it, I guess. And he just looks

like. He's totally surprised by something like

getting God or something. I don't know but uh

It's it's pretty freaking funny. I don't know

why the hell you would choose Walmart to do this

No, I guess you figured like they wouldn't mind

I guess I mean, maybe he works for people Walmart

comms. I don't know Yeah, wow. Well, there you

go. That's that's amazing Yeah, God bless America

So you're up Dan. What do you get? All right.

Well this too took place near where I live But

I guess it's okay because the guy wasn't in the

technically gave from our area It caught my eye

because the headline just kind of funny, but

it's driver busted in Maryland with cocaine trail

Thought he was in Chicago. So basically he this

is Chicago man who took a wrong turn while driving

in Chicago and ended up in Maryland so I've gotten

lost before but I don't think I've ever gotten

that lost but he apparently he was you know obviously

drunk and being drunk he was becoming drowsy

so then to remedy that he then decided to then

you know remedy that with what what else but

cocaine When he was arrested he had basically

he was covered in cocaine His mouth his nostrils

it was on his shirt his pants everywhere basically

like he jumped into like a cocaine mountain and

Needless to say he was arrested and he I think

Pleaded stupidity. I don't know. I'm not sure

but yeah somehow If there's any reason not to

do drugs, I mean, I personally can't stand it

when I get lost driving But you know getting

lost and ending in, you know near Annapolis,

Maryland when you're in Chicago Maybe you need

to like I just wonder like how do you even do

that? That's just insane. So yeah, that's pretty

crazy Yeah, so Greg you any other crazy stories

any other I have One here apparently happened

in Florida, of course. Yes And it kind of goes

with my theme from last time of burglars sleeping

on the job. Cops apparently photographed an alleged

sleeping Florida burglar. Apparently, cops took

pictures of this guy while he was snoozing next

to a bag of jewelry he was planning to take.

It doesn't really say why he was sleeping next

to the bag of jewelry. but it's great. He's sleeping

right on, well, sort of on a bed. He's like,

his legs are all the way down off the end of

the bed, kind of forming a 90 degree angle. And

then like his lower back just is on the edge

of the bed. And then the rest of them on up is

on the bed and he's got the hands over his chest

and everything. And he's just got a bag of goodies

in like the crook of his arm, just like, he's

just laying there. Why are these why are burglars

falling asleep during all these properties? You

mean they've a lot of confidence that they're

not gonna get caught I guess Maybe burglary.

I mean, it's a lot of burns a lot of calories.

He got tired. He needed a little nap, you know

Apparently he didn't wake up as they were taking

pictures of him And apparently he he might have

been a relation to you Chuck his last name was

Davis. Yes Let's represent that family crest.

Dion Davis. Oh, Dion. Oh, Dion. Sure wasn't Dion

Sanders. I mean, like, are we sure about that?

No, it was a white dude. First law of robbing

the bank, fall asleep after you rob the bank.

Right, take a nap beforehand. I know. It's common

courtesy, really. You got to be really confident

in yourself and not have any nerves at all like

to just fall asleep while you're robbing a place

I'd be shaking constantly going in if I was stealing

stuff People can't like fall asleep if they're

like not in their own bed. This guy falls asleep

and then the story just robs nice Chuck you got

anything else? Yeah, I got another one here.

Um, I think this tops my last one as far as uh

Making me laugh. This was even funnier. But uh

Apparently this happened in somewhere in Texas.

So we're hitting all over the map today. And

I got this story from a British website. So the

wording is a little funny. I'm not used to the

way they refer to this, but the headline reads

Takeaway employee, which is basically like take

out. Like, yeah, works at a takeout place. Takeaway

employee rubbed genitals on pizza. But customer

caught him in act and said, please do it more.

Apparently this guy was like 18 years old and

he was working at this pizza place. I think it's

like Papa Murphy's or something like that. And

they. It was like a half an hour before they

were closing and someone called in to order a

pizza. So, you know, this guy naturally was.

ticked off that they were calling a half hour

before closing time. So after he made the pizza,

he proceeded to kind of, you know, stick his

junk in the pizza. And I guess the people happened

to walk in to pick it up and they saw him doing

it and everything. And yeah. And they said, hey,

we didn't order sausage and meatballs. They did

they did order some from under cheese on there.

Yeah. Hey boss. We're out of mozzarella What

should I use the from under? Wow, that's but

yeah Apparently, I mean maybe he's just trying

to be nice and upgrade them to a stuffed crust

Don't know but um, I was wondering how they stuff

that crust and now I'm never gonna have it because

The part I don't get is like why why would you

do that to like, you know? Why would you pick

that as the thing you do? Like why wouldn't you

you know, if you're gonna do something like that,

you know, like rub some dandruff in or Hockaloogee

or something like why would you take the chance

of burning your balls on hot cheese? Like maybe

that was this thing he gets off on that he's

like, oh I was only doing it to make them mad

But it's in in reality. He just really loves

putting it on Maybe he was doing a variation

on the American pie thing He watched too much

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We finally found

the one person who loves pizza more than Michelangelo.

Needless to say, I guess an employee at the place

said that he has since been fired, this guy.

Of course, I mean, they don't want to look bad

and everything, but yeah, pretty crazy. And if

that gets you laughing, I would highly recommend

a movie that Greg introduced me to called Waiting,

starring Ryan Reynolds. The hostess is freaking

gorgeous in that Just saying people. Yeah, we

heard about the hostess The hostess with the

most this Interesting and my story kind of relates

to that and a little bit again, you know teenagers

do really stupid things sometimes I guess and

this These teenagers are, you know, going around

the globe and are going around the United States

and these people were in Michigan. And, you know,

two teenagers are, I guess, doing some sort of

prank, you know, trying to be funny. So they

vandalized their high school football field in

a very, very special way. They... Decided to

make some artwork using, you know, basically

weed killer and grass killer and they drew a

gigantic Penis on the football field that you

can see from from there's actual aerial shots

of it like on the I'll put it in the episode

post It's like, you know, you probably wouldn't

notice it from the stands But you know a good

a couple hundred feet up in the air. You see

this rather well endowed football field and The

thing I forget forget, you know forgot to mention.

Yeah teenagers will do stupid things the worst

part about this A mom a 50 year old mom helped

them do it It was no honey, you gotta make the

balls a little bit bigger, sweetie. There you

go Mean like yeah, I mean that's the thing first

of all It's a 50 year old woman doing this which

is ridiculous and the secondly like that's a

thing you did with your mom It's like oh I mean

all the cred that you would have gotten from

all your friends for doing it It's kind of immediately

destroyed when realize you mean you were like

drawing a Gigantic penis with your mom. Isn't

that kind of awkward? Like why would you do that?

I don't know Depending what part of the country

you're in. Yeah Florida totally acceptable. That

sounded like Nicholas's Nicholas cage, maybe

that's And that I wouldn't put a past yeah, but

they ended up causing about fifteen to twenty

thousand dollars in damage Which is obviously

not that funny, but it's just like Oh God, they

just cut the grass. Well, it's bright and the

grass grass is completely removed. So it's like

it was grass killer. So it's unless they made

it like a completely a dirt field. So I just

want to know like how long it took them to realize

that that's what it was. It's like, hmm, these

holes are oddly shaping. What could this possibly

be? Or they could have they could have just hired

one of those like really good artists to turn

the picture into something else. Very cool. Greg,

do you got anything else or you have stories?

Well, I have a story, but I'm more interested

in the title of it than the actual anything that

goes on in the story because the title essentially

reveals what's going on. Cop crashes into Dunkin

Donuts in New Jersey. He actually rams into the

storefront of Dunkin Donuts with his cop car.

Because it's so good you can smell it. Yeah There

is nobody hurt so so we could definitely laugh

at it and the building has some structural damage

But uh cop really wanted his donuts that morning

I feel like that something that would have originated

in a family guy episode Yeah, I Mean that's just

I hate to be that cops never gonna live that

down ever. It's just gonna be like yeah never

yeah So like did he ever explain like why it

happened was he just? Overly eager and thought

they said that nothing has really come out of

why it happened. It's just One of those things

I guess I I guess you put you know, cops and

doughnuts together eventually, you know The two

will meet in awkward ways Apparently there's

there's calories. There's so many calories even

in their smell that he took a heart attack What

was it Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme or it was

a Dunkin Donuts America runs into Dunkin You

have to go to Krispy Kreme for your donuts and

you have to go to Dunkin Donuts for the coffee

That's that's my rule that I live by Yeah, I

see I worked at donut connection, which is like

the bastard child of the two that they Really

is and yeah, so I not a big fan of donuts for

whatever reason I eat them here and there but

you know I gotta say my high school principal

was pretty big fan of Krispy Kreme. Yeah I do

yeah We had an assembly the day that that had

opened in town. He's like a great thing happened

this summer the Krispy Kreme opened Like yeah,

can we go back to class now? And the sad thing

is that was like the biggest thing that that

happened the summer in that area. So yeah, but

Chalk you any other stories? I have a couple

things that one is a quick one I'll do it and

then if Dan if you have another one, you can

come back to me later or whatever. But my quick

one is Apparently a group of people got together

to break a Guinness Book World Record They were

able to get together 542 people dressed as Batman.

Nice. In one place, yes. I'm Batman. That was

a world record. They officially counted it. Everyone

was in a Batman costume. And it was a world record

for safest location in the history of the world.

Yeah. And reports say that there was a traffic

jam immediately afterwards as everyone's mom

tried to pick them up at the same time. Yeah,

pretty funny though there's actually a video

on it that was it was kind of funny yeah That's

crazy Greg get anything. Are you are you spent?

I am spent I have one more story. It's really

I get another really quick one one I just thought

was kind of funny just one of those things where

it's like really like why would that even be

like what is the point of that happening and

simply the headline is Jorge Perez arrested after

washing hair with mayo in public fountain so

Wow Not the condiment that I would use I know

of all condiments you go to mayonnaise. It's

just in the thing I'm thinking he had lice because

don't use mayo if you have lice I've heard that

that's what you use to like get rid of the larva

or something. I Have not heard that I feel like

that was just Don't know maybe mustard you think

that would be now you got the spice there Now

was it was it me or was it Miracle Whip? It said

mayo. I don't know. I mean, that's what there's

a big difference. There really is I think it

was old -fashioned, you know, the one you need

to use with the spoon, you know Or the you know,

that's in the jar. You can't it doesn't squeeze

out of a bottle the old -school stuff Yeah, the

real mayonnaise. Yeah, the real mayonnaise. So

that's my favorite. Yeah Man, mayonnaise is such

a weird thing. It tastes good in the right places.

So I don't know. Yeah, but too much of it, and

it's disgusting. No, not in your hair. Like,

in your hair, I don't think it's going to do

much. I mean, maybe it'll make it shiny, I guess.

I don't know. I mean, that's got to be a weird

thing to get arrested for, right? It's like,

why are you in here? I wash my hair with mayonnaise.

Don't get near that guy. Don't mess with him.

He's tough. That dude is a badass. When we do

our badass bracket, Manet's hair is definitely

going to be on it for sure. All right. I'm all

out of stories, but Chuck, you said you have

one more? Yeah. I just have a couple of quick

funny things. And this is funny coming from me,

because these are funny tweets that I found.

Nice. It's funny because I'm not on Twitter.

So it's kind of funny. But I found this article

that talked about some some of the funnier marketing

tweets that they found with like companies going

back and forth with people like actual companies

that are on Twitter and stuff. And these I think

they're pretty recent. I'm not sure exactly when

all of them are from. But the article was recent

and there's just a few of them here. But the

first one somebody tweeted at. the company Wonderful

Pistachios and they said there has to be some

sort of addictive ingredient in pistachios. And

the company replied, it's the crack in the shell

that that was kind of funny. And let's see the

next one. Some guy tweeted at Sega and he said

what I wouldn't give for Sega to make a new jet

grind game. And the guys, Sega replied to the

guy whose Twitter handle is at hot Pikachu sex.

Sega replied what I wouldn't give to have not

read your username. Let's see. The next one is

actually one that's two companies going at it.

It's the old space deodorant company versus Taco

Bell. Yeah, one makes you smell better one causes

a lot of bad smells at the end of the day They

need each other they really do. Yeah, but old

spice kind of Kind of started the whole thing

and they said why is it that fire sauce isn't

made with any real fire? Seems like false advertising

To which Taco Bell replied is your deodorant

made with really old spices? And Old Spice kind

of crazily responded, depends. Do you consider

volcanoes, tanks and freedom to be spices? They

have the dumbest commercials they really do.

I hate Old Spice commercials. And then the last

one I have here is from Delta Airlines. And this

is just a tweet that they put out there. Along

with tweeting a picture of one of their planes,

they wrote, baby got back. We like big jets and

we cannot lie. The 737 is ready to fly. So, yeah,

pretty crazy. You think they would have updated

it with human eyes is that anaconda song? Yeah.

You want to remix with that tweet? Is that what

you're saying? Yes, I want the remix. Yes. So

it's kind of funny that when the when the. You

know these big corporate companies try to get

all cool and hip and everything and Sometimes

it's disastrous and sometimes it's pretty funny.

But yeah, you know, I know Greg you mentioned

about a Somebody that actually favorited your

tweets and stuff like a big a bigger like company

Funko with your Funko stuff and yeah, you know

here you have like the the Sega guy and the pistachio

sometimes they don't they don't Turn out so good.

They kind of uh make fun of the person but Funny

nonetheless like freedom spice or sorry old spice.

So yeah Freedom freedom spice now. Yeah freedom

spice would be pretty awesome. I mean that should

be their new name it would freedom spice marca

That is it for the news of the weird it will

be you do this every so often some crazy Just

making you realize just how screwed up the world

you live in make you feel better about yourself

when you're not out making penis stash to your

penis Sculptures and football fields with your

mom. So I feel like there's a common theme in

a lot of our stories here. Yeah Yeah, so don't

order pizza and you know, don't wash your hair

with mayonnaise Is what we're saying. Don't park

in the woods to do stuff. No. I wonder if they're

all related. Maybe that guy who put his stuff

on the pizza was going to meet that girl in his

Fiat. And before he got there, he needed to wash

his hair with mayonnaise. And it's all connected

in a gigantic circle. And one day, he went to

the field with his mom to have some fun. I don't

know. Hashtag, it's all connected. It's all connected.

All right, but we like to end each episode with

a letter and this week Chuck I believe you're

up, correct? I am I am it was a it was a tall

order. I Really didn't have a letter till about

half hour before we were recording this nice

Did not have any ideas, but I finally Had something

I've been kind of having the back of my mind

lately. So I just kind of wrote that down, but

cool. Let's get into it Dear avid TV watchers

In case the overabundance of hints on social

media and video ads haven't completely slapped

you in the face with this yet, allow me to formally

introduce you to the new age of television, superheroes.

I know there have always been TV shows about

superheroes. It goes back to the old Superman

with George Reeves and the Adam West Batman,

Linda Carter's Wonder Woman, and even the long

running Smallville. But the age we have entered

now, is about to be all but dominated by superhero

and or graphic novel influenced plotlines. It's

true that every decade or two has its one genre

that defines it for the most part. For a time

it was all the western themed shows. Gunsmoke,

The Rifleman, Paladin, Bonanza, The Virginian,

Cheyenne, Maverick, Rawhide, and on and on and

on. Then as you remember in the 90s came the

explosion of teenage drama and family shows like

Full House, Home Improvement, Boy Meets World,

Family Matters, Sabrina, Seventh Heaven, Save

the Bell, Fresh Prince, and many more. Then the

early 2000s saw a huge spike in cop and detective

dramas such as NCIS and CSI, one for every city,

of course. Criminal Minds. So waiting on the

CSI screen. Yeah. And others like Criminal Minds,

Law and Order, etc. Of course, there are other

types of shows on, but the area seemed to have

been dominated by certain genres. But to me,

at this moment, while still seeing many crime

dramas, we are in the age of superheroes. I believe

the aforementioned Smallville may have helped

pave the way for this, even the Avengers of Lois

and Clark to a degree. And obviously, the influence

of the big screen is undeniable. Let's just look

at where we're at. Four years ago, we saw The

Walking Dead. based on a graphic novel, captivate

a new generation of TV viewers. And two years

ago we were introduced to Arrow based on DC character

Green Arrow. As those shows continue into their

fifth and third seasons respectively, we see

an outpouring of new lineups in the fall TV slate.

Suddenly there is The Flash, Gotham, Constantine,

Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. and rumblings of

future shows like Agent Carter, Supergirl, Teen

Titans, and the Marvel Netflix series Daredevil,

Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones. Who?

Exactly. Many years ago, we would have never

dreamed of having some of these characters getting

their own series. It seems with every passing

month, there are rumors of another TV deal involving

a comic character. So there it is. Let's just

face it. This is the genre to define this time

for the last few years, and at least the next

five to ten years. What will it change to after

that? Who knows? And who cares? I say we sit

back and enjoy the full slate set before us,

because if you enjoy the movies, and especially

the comics, this is a great time to live in the

timeline of TV history. Sincerely, Captain Chuck

and the Geeks of Tomorrow. Very nice, very nice.

Yeah, that is so true. We are getting tons of

TV. I mean, we just talked about one today and

I'm sure we'll get into more as they come on.

And Walkie Dad's coming out soon. Arrow. Hopefully

I will be able to watch the third season when

I get caught up with the second season. So it's

yeah, it's been kind of crazy. Yeah. So many,

so many shows coming out and I hear rumors all

the time like. I've been here any Supergirl and

Teen Titans rumors and stuff like that and everything's

just taken off, you know Her suicide squad. It

is kind of crazy. Yeah, it's a good very good

point about Comparing comparing it to Westerns

because that is they are like the Westerns of

today. You know, they I mean Westerns were everywhere

They TV movies there were tons of them and and

now people complain that there's too much and

sometimes I do too But as long as there's good

ones and they're so good ones being made. I think

we'll be okay, right? As long as they don't beat

it to death. Yeah. All right. All right. Anything

else before we bring this episode to a close?

I got nothing. All righty. Greg, you got anything?

that you'd make up if you were on Twitter? No,

still not knowing what that is. And we've been

talking in circles. We'll see you next time.

Nice alliteration going. You nailed that shit.

You're like the new Stan Lee with the Betty Brands

be Trantastic. I don't know what Trantastic is.

It's a very fantastic Tranny. Fantastic Trance

music?
