G1 Ironhide and Kickback Robot Heroes Review

You're listening to the GeekCast Radio Network,

a podcast. Cliffjumper, commence countdown. Five.

Four. Three. Two. Tune in next week for a much

better episode. For now though, courage. Hello

and welcome to the 47th episode of Toycast, sponsored

by BigBadToyStore .com, where you can save from

2290 % on over 1 ,000 items. I am your host,

Steve, Jim, and Mike, and tonight I am joined

once again by Pecan Court Michael. Hello. Hey,

how's it going? It's going. How are you, sir?

Uh, not bad. We'd just like to, because apparently

every time I try to explain something on this

show that Michael isn't in an episode, he's like,

oh, well, you really didn't explain it very well.

Episode 50, for those of you who are not familiar

with our show, back in episode 25, I put a call

out to the listeners and to the fans that if

they would want to call in and leave us a voicemail

message telling us at the time of episode 25,

your favorite Transformers toy. Now because we

have gone to just being Toycast episode 50, I

want people to either call in to 502 -526 -5821

or send us an email at tfg1podcast all one word

at gmail .com of an mp3 file of you saying if

you want to congratulate us on 50 episodes if

you want to do a toy review that's more than

fine uh... the deadline for this is march twenty

first at ten p m eastern standard time so yeah

you guys have about uh... this episode will go

up the sixth i believe the seventh yeah the section

of the seventh of march so you got about two

weeks two and a half weeks all the cool kids

are doing it yes and uh... mr wilson already

has pre -assigned uh... duties for this episode

so You said duty shut up Yeah, I I'm I kind of

like that idea. I don't know I might end up doing

two calls just for the hell of it Well, that's

fine But as long as you do the one that I requested

and then we're not gonna tell anybody what that

one is No, anybody who knows the show. Well,

yeah most you for that matter would Yeah, yes,

but yeah Question, if somebody were to call in

and leave a message, what would the time frame

be? We're looking at a minute, five minutes?

I mean, if we get 20 of these, it could be a

long show. See, I'm trying to keep it open because

when I did the episode 25 one where I said, you

know, keep it like a... Episode 25 was very specific.

Episode 25, I wanted your favorite Transformers

toy ever. And I said, keep it a minute or less.

Here, if people just want to call in and say,

hey, congratulations on 50 episodes, or love

the show, keep up the great work, or whatever,

they can do that. If they want to review a toy,

they're more than welcome to. I'm not really

going to put a time limit on it. I would say

less than, say, 10 minutes. If you're talking

that much, they're co -hosts. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I'm not sure about doing live call -in

show. That wouldn't work. That would be equipment

that we have. Yeah, no, that wouldn't fly. But

yeah, no, there's no like real, because when

I gave people a time limit last time, they're

like, oh, I don't know if I can talk for that

long. So that's the thing. It's now it's, you

know, for episode 50, call in, say what you want

to say, and hang up. I might have to do another

Monty Python send up. God damn it. Yeah, because

you totally missed the, uh... Oh god, what sketch

was that? It was, uh... Spanish Inquisition.

The cemetery. The dead people. Dead people? Yeah.

I don't know what the hell it was. It was Eric

Idle in the middle of, you know, come get your

shit or something. Oh, no, no, no. Bring out

your dead. Whatever. I'm not dead! I'm happy!

That's a classic movie, and you would be remiss

if you didn't watch the whole thing on the way

through. I lost brain cells watching that clip

on YouTube. In context, it's hilarious. No, the

thing that I did was the Spanish Inquisition.

Oh, lovely. Yeah, it probably did. But if anybody

listening is a fan of Monty Python and hasn't

heard episode 25 yet, do yourself a favor and

go back and listen to episode 25. Yes, just go

over to geekcasterio .com, it's under the Toycast

banner. It's probably on the second or third

page by now, I don't know yet. Did you get my

text message earlier? Which one? About our favorite

show. You know what I did? You texted me and

said there was a new episode tonight at 8, and

I went to look for it and couldn't find a new

episode. What? No, I couldn't find one, and I

looked for it today. It was on regular Disney

Channel, not Disney XD. We've got three Disney

Channels, and it was on either one, so I don't

know. Well, as soon as I saw the ad for it earlier

this afternoon, it said, you know, brand new

Phineas and Ferb, tonight at 98 Central. So I

was like, okay, well, he's in Central, so. And

I text you, I said, it'll be 8 p .m. your time.

Well, while I was searching through all three

channels for the next three days, I found a couple

that I don't think I've seen yet, so I went ahead

and set those to record. Oh, cool. Yeah, so I

mean, you know, it wasn't... Yeah, this one,

I'm actually surprised you didn't see this or

didn't find it, because this one was where...

Major Monogram distracts Perry so Carl can earn

his final gold star so Carl actually becomes

the agent. Yeah, I saw the commercial for that.

I just don't know what it's on. That's weird.

Anyway. I hope it wasn't like 8 a .m. No, it

was like... What the hell time is it? It was

like three hours ago. Well, shit. Or two hours

ago. Two hours ago I was watching Caprica. Yeah,

see, that's the thing. Sci -Fi Friday. Well,

god, lately it's like watching grass grow. When

is something interesting going to have shoot

somebody for Christ's sake? Anyway. Anyway. What

else is going on? Oh, you know, I found some

of the Target and Walmart exclusives, and I picked

those up I also found oh just the other day.

I picked up a sonar and dive bomb and Who was

this guy sky stalker? At Target, so that was

kind of fun. I was surprised to find these dive

bomb was cool cuz he's like the red Baron Oh,

he's a repaint of the biplane right scout size.

Yeah, but But he's red and white, so he's kind

of cool. Kind of a neat thing. And Skystalker

was so cool that I actually had to open him and

play with him. Which I kind of haven't done for

a while. Yeah, you have too many toys that are

still in packaging. Yeah, I know, I know. This

guy was like, he's cool. And he's actually got

like spring -loaded feet. Which I think is weird.

So like when you have him in your hand, his feet

kind of fold down. And then when you... Place

him on the table his feet just kind of you know

open up in defeat Weird you have to see it. I

guess but he's a he's a neat looking figure.

I dig it Yes, I am I just got my mighty mugs

warm machine in the mail today, and this thing

is awesome I mean, I know that I say that about

all the mighty folks that I have. They're all

amazing. Yes, they're 100 % made from 100 % recycled

plastic. Awesome. But very, very cool. I cannot

wait until I can finally get my grubby hands

on the Comic -Con Iron Man to have them next

to each other. The shiny one? Yes, the metallic

Iron Man. Yes, so Transformers, huh? Yeah. Well,

no, I wasn't gonna go into I said war machine

down I'm not going into war machine Just saying

that that's you know, you said what you got.

So I was saying what I got. Yeah No, actually,

I saw the pictures. I saw the video. Yes chat

of the war machine. He's cool looking I I don't

know. I think I prefer a war machine to Iron

Man anyway, just because one he's black and white

and gray and two he's just fully laden with missiles

and guns and shit you know that i i dig that

i think that's cool i mean iron man has missiles

that pop out of his arm but this guy is just

you know look at me i am covered in heavy weaponry

yes he has a missile launcher as far as the the

mighty mug he comes with his missile Launcher

and a gatling gun that both fit into his arms

They actually sculpted holes out of his out of

each of his arms to fit these in and he does

You can fit them into his hands. They don't look

very good into his hands Can you pull those out

and plug them in the light Megatron? No rocket

launchers Because that would rule I don't know

Hmm, that's interesting. I know the I know the

missile launcher one probably not because of

the way it's shaped But the Gatling gun, I'm

not sure Where the hell is Megatron? Oh, he's

easy to grab He's right next to optimal optimus

actually there's some of these damn things I

had to move someone around Alright, so I have

Megatron here I'm not sure. Yeah, but it doesn't

look right. Well, of course not. Well, let me

show you, because it's just... Megatron without

a fusion cannon. Well, no, that's not the reason

why it doesn't look right. It doesn't look right

because the holes are different. Oh, so it doesn't

fit right? Right. that doesn't look right okay

now that's that's war machines his gatling gun

yeah look at the size of the hole there yeah

and look at the size of the hole on war machine

it's deeper exactly so you end up with like half

an inch of peg between the gun and Megatron's

arm exactly look at yeah yeah yeah So it does

fit, but it doesn't look right, so it wouldn't

be worth even... Yeah, oh well. Even doing it.

What would be cool, I mean, well, they don't

have very much consistency here with the Mighty

Mugs, but what would be really cool is if they

were to, say, you know, create weapon packs for

them and say... Well, you know, and I think the

other thing is that weapon packs for Mighty Mugs

wouldn't work. Because they all have their accessories

plugged in the different parts of their bodies

with different sized holes and none of them can

hold anything in their hands I know but if you

okay, if you just take the basic blank black

or blank white Mighty Mug, that's That's just

paint that you can just paint that has no sculpting

on it whatsoever You know you could probably

make a weapons pack if you decided to customize

the Mighty Mugs You could you know you could

probably do that, but with these It's, there's

no point in having a weapons pack to interact

with each other because they are customized to

the characters. Right. And that's the whole point

of the Mighty Mugs is that they are customizations

of characterizations. Right. But, I mean, how

much foresight would it take to say, maybe we

should make all of their hands a particular size,

while the ones that have two hands, let's say,

aside from like Shockwave, but everyone that

has hands, Let's make them with a particularly

sized grip so that they could hold a gun or trade

guns or anything. Yeah, you don't know what I'm

thinking about it. You're probably right, because

since I still have Mr. Megatron here, I'm looking

at his gun, at his fusion cannon. It don't fit

in his hand. It barely fits and it's like so

loose in his hand it's like you just touch it

and it'll fall out. I mean obviously it's meant

to go in his arm because that's where it's meant

to go but... Wrong hole! Wrong hole! What? Wrong

hole! It doesn't go in there! Oh my god. You

can't force it in there. That's so wrong. It

doesn't fit. That's so wrong, dude. Don't lie,

you know your mind's in a gutter. So, I think

we have an interesting theme running through

this show. Well, I shouldn't say currently, I

mean from here on out, in that we're both going

to be talking about Ironhide. Yes, this is the

Ironhide G1, Ironhide G1 Robot Heroes show. Again,

keeping with my tradition of the Robot Heroes

2 packs, I will also be talking about Kickback,

and I guess I'll get that out of the way now.

He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's an Insecticon.

He's nothing really that special to be honest

with you only one of his arms rotates. I Mean,

I mean his right his arms rotate. No, well No,

they both do. I know they both do on mine his

head, huh? And his head. I know his head does

well now now it moves See mine, for some strange

reason, it's like the socket is out of joint

and it moves from side to side instead of up

and down. This is his right arm, not his left

arm, his right arm. What'd you say? Mine just

popped off. oh shit mine's probably gonna pop

off his arm just popped off yeah mine's probably

gonna pop off so i'm not gonna do too much for

america okay yeah yeah so now it swivels the

right way yeah but uh yeah so he's okay he's

squatting i like how on the uh well a lot majority

of them squat um i like how on the g1 robot heroes

They put the Autobot and Decepticon symbols in

a clear view, either on the chest or on the leg

or wherever they're supposed to go, unlike the

Beast Wars ones where they put them on their

asses. Did they? Yeah. I didn't open any of my

Beast Wars ones so I didn't look. Well, like

the Beast Wars ones, like, okay, I've got Silverbolt

here, his is on his left knee, okay? I've got

Megatron here, because all the other ones are

back on the shelf. Megatron is another exception.

His is on his right knee. But Waspinators is

on his tail, so that's technically his ass. And

Rhinox is on the lower part of his back. Interesting

thing about this one is that He's one of the

few robot heroes that can scratch his own ass.

You're talking about kickback? Yeah. Okay. It's

facilitated because he's in this strange crouching

position, but if you kind of wiggle his arm a

little bit back there, you can get him back to

scratch his own ass. It's kind of funny. Eww!

That's nasty! Exactly! He doesn't have any teethies,

so he's got to use his own hand! It's like, oh,

god. One thing that I think about this guy is

the detail involved. I mean, the fact that on

the back of his legs, you can see his little

grasshopper leg. What would that be? Ridges?

Yes. In grasshopper mode, the back of his legs

have the ridges that crickets. Yeah. It's great

to make crickety sounds. And he's got those on

the back of his leg. I really like the way they

molded his chest and his wings. It looks just

like the toy. But with exception, the wings are

really, really short. But we can forgive him

of that because he's super deformed. In the toy,

the wings tower over him. Yeah. Yeah, they do.

The wings are as tall as he is. Yeah, but no,

I think they've put a lot of detail into them.

I think this is a really nice little representation

of the of the insecticon. I think all three of

the insecticons turned out nicely, actually.

Oh, there's more than one for these? Yeah, well,

they renamed bombshell. It's a hard shell. Yeah.

But other than that, yeah, they turned out really

good. I've got all three of mine standing next

to each other. on my shelf. The robot heroes?

Yeah. All three insecticons are... And they're

renamed? No, just the one. There's... Yeah, just

Bombshell got renamed. In the Hard Shell. I guess

they lost the copyright or something. I know

Hard Hero did a... a statue of all three insecticons.

They weren't as detailed as these guys, to be

honest. They were very cartoony. But seeing all

three of them together, they were maybe about

a foot tall, each one. And when they stood all

next to each other, they looked really cool.

I was tempted to pick those up when they all

went on clearance, inevitably. But I never did.

But now that I've got all three little robot

heroes lined up, I kind of wish that I had the

bigger cold cast porcelain versions. Yes. That

would have been neat. So Ironhide. Yeah, Ironhide.

Robot Heroes Ironhide. I said to you when I first

got him, because I think we talked like the day

after I got him or the night after. I don't know.

Again, he is in the crouching pose. But for him,

it makes me think he looks like he's playing

football. He's gonna stiff -arm a guy with his

right hand, then he's gonna punch somebody else

with his left hand. Yeah, you know, I've kinda

got the open palm hand down on the ground, so

it's almost like he's trying to keep himself

from stumbling. So you're saying he's drunk Ironhide.

Exactly. That's what the look on his face is

for, because he's like, he's like, I love you,

man! No, don't tell him you're not getting that

Bud Light. That's right. I love you, man! And

then the other arm just kind of looks like he's

ready for an uppercut there. Yep. I think he's

going to swat somebody. But, you know, I dig

the fact that, you know, the arms move and the

head moves. When I first saw these, I didn't

expect them to move at all. Yeah, I didn't either.

Yeah, I thought they were just gonna be little

statues. So it was very cool to see that. I mean,

honestly, you can't really pose them. There's

not really anything these guys can do. But it's

nice that they, you know... Well, it really depends.

I mean, you know, you've got stuff like... You've

got like the RC one, which... Okay, it's RC,

whatever, and she's on this, like, slab of...

of Energon that looks like she's running, so

you can kind of pose her arms and her head like

she's gonna, you know, run the Boston Marathon

or something, but I mean, I don't know. They're

cool little incarnations of characters, for the

most part, of characters that we all love, but...

Yeah. It's like, you're damn lucky you're cute,

because otherwise, you'd be completely unposable,

untransformable crap, you know? But yeah, no,

they're... they're adorable, I love them. I know,

it's just sad. But yeah, I dig it. But yeah,

I think I like the G1 ones better. I mean, I

honestly haven't opened up my Beast Wars ones.

Yeah, the Beast Wars ones are okay, but I do

like the G1 robot heroes better. Yeah, I think

those. I'll be looking for the ones I'm missing

at BotCon. Ah, yes. BotCon. Yeah. Plans are all

made. Yay! It's just a matter of going. Not a

plane. Yep. Heading to Florida. So, anything

else interesting to say about Ironhide besides

his mohawk? Besides his mohawk? Oh yeah, he does

have a mohawk. He's got like a big red fin on

top of his head or something. Yeah, you're right.

Well, yeah. You know, if Mr. T had voiced Ironhide,

it would have been a complete different cartoon.

Yeah, I think so. I pity the fool. I pity him.

It wouldn't have been leaping lubricants. It

would have been, I pity the fool. I pity the

Decepticon. Yeah, that's all I gotta say, but

I got a question for you before you start getting

the G1 Ironhide I'm looking at the picture on

the wiki. What the fuck is his head? He doesn't

have a head. What? You've never seen G1 Ironhide?

Not in person. Oh no, he doesn't have a head.

He was ahead of his time. Shut up. He should

have stopped while he was ahead. No, the cool

thing about, well, Ironhide and Ratchet, they

were this... I don't even know what kind of minivan

this is. This is back in 83, 84 when they made

them. Originally the Diaclone came out in 83.

It was like black. It was very cool looking.

But when they made them, I don't think there

were minivans. There were like conversion vans,

and then like the Volkswagen Bug type vans. But

wasn't he supposed to be some sort of fire truck

van thing? No, he's just one of those... Again,

this predates soccer moms, but this is just like

a family touring van. Oh, okay. Yeah, so when

he came out in 1984, one of the first car figures

in that line. I don't want to say unique because

there's also a ratchet, but unlike the cars,

he would split up into two pieces. The front,

the cab of the minivan came off and became a

very flimsy, skinny little robot with no head.

The driver's seat behind the windshield had a

sticker on it. that has like a little face. And

it's not, it's like black and white. It's not

even a face, barely. It's a, God, there's gotta

be a picture of it somewhere, but it's a face.

And there's like a head behind the windshield.

But it's not like a round head. It's literally

like a sticker that's been taped to a chair.

Yeah, so when I, I've made the joke before, you

know, his face is a sticker. That's what I meant.

Yeah, and his face is a sticker. He's like, well,

what the hell does he mean by that? Well, it's

because, like, you know, back in 1984, that was

acceptable. Well, they need to go back and remake

him. Well, they did. Let me check here. Oh, 2007,

the Japanese encore series, what they did, and

this is really sad, but what they did is when

they re -released him in 2007, They, one corner,

it's not even a corner, it's like one of those,

you know when you open up a box and there's like

a slot that goes off the side? One of those,

you can't see it when the packaging's closed,

but when you open the packaging up, inside one

of the tabs, there's two heads. Maybe it's just

one head, but there was a I believe there was

an iron hide head and a ratchet head in the packaging

and It was cardboard and you would literally

cut it out from the inside tab of the of the

box Look on the wiki at encore iron hide where

it kind of looks like there's a head on top of

the the windshield Yeah, that's a cardboard cutout

So at this point it doesn't look like he's missing

his head, it looks like his shoulders are sprouting

from his hips. Yeah, that's friggin' ridiculous.

I would much rather have the ironhide SCF PVC.

Oh, yeah. I would much rather have a non -transforming

ironhide than that piece of shit. You know what

they have? I don't know who sells it. It's kind

of like a fan's project type of thing, but I

don't think it's fan's project. They sell round

plastic heads and they plug in to this chair

so that it kind of looks like the head is sitting

on top of the windshield. It's not a cardboard

cutout. I think they're like 20 bucks. I got

a buddy of mine that bought one and he's really

happy with it. And I saw pictures. And I was

just, again, it's like, well, now his shoulders

are sprouting out of his hips. It just doesn't

look right to me. And that and the fact that

I grew up with this character like this, it looks

okay to me. It's not bad to me. I think it looks

alright. Back in the day, in Diaclone, 1983,

you had a little figure that would sit there

in the chair. He didn't mind having a face on

the back of his chair. He was cool with it. I'll

stick with my robot heroes version, it's much

better. I wouldn't say that, he's in Transform.

I love them, you know. You know who I really

like? 2005, the BotCon exclusive. They did a

red repaint of Energon Tolline. And when I first

saw Energon Tolline, I was like, oh my god. They're

gonna do an iron hide repaint of this guy Because

he had kind of the same thing going on where

the front of the cab came off and became a robot

And then the rest of the the minivan split open

and became a trailer Yeah, and I was like holy

crap. They're gonna make an iron hide repainted

them They didn't do it at retail, but they did

do it at BotCon Yeah, and they also did another

repaint of him as ratchet but that wasn't in

the box set, that was one that they gave away.

You had to be there. This was the first Fun Publications

BotCon, and it was in Texas, and I got married

that year or something, I don't remember. So

it was like, no, you can't go. So that kind of

sucked. Yeah, I think that was, yeah, my wife's

gonna shoot me right in the head for getting

this wrong, but yeah, I think that was the year

we got married. So I couldn't go to Texas. Didn't

you just celebrate an anniversary? No, our fifth

is, I believe, coming up in July. Okay. Yeah.

Anyway, so, yeah, five years, woo! Yeah, so basically,

you know, that's my favorite Ironhide. Well,

you know, I can't really say that because I did

like the universe one that came out in 2008.

I think he looks really cool. If you compare,

well, I want to compare that to the Japanese

Henkei version because they, number one, they

gave him chrome parts and number two, They painted

them to look more like g1 iron hide the only

problem I have with that mold is there is The

classics mode and the repainted Takara one yeah,

it's not a clear door panel. It looks like he

has fucking battle damage on him in car mode

Oh I mean, it's not a clear door panel. It has

cracks in the fucking thing. Yeah, that's just

the way he transforms, though. I know, but they

couldn't find something to... You know, there

are plenty of Transformers in the universe line

that... Cyclonus. He doesn't have cracks in his

alt mode at all, whatsoever. Right, right. I

don't know. I'm willing to take that... If he

has a better robot mode and I think the robot

mode is just better for it You know cuz well,

you know, it's strange because I've got this

guy displayed in my shelves in vehicle mode So,

you know, maybe I'm talking about my ass here

But well, that's the only way to display then

84 one is in vehicle mode because he has no head

in robot mode To digress, I think my favorite

Ironhide is the Botcon 05 one. But to get back

on track of the 1984 one, yeah, he's got no head.

But he does have a really cool trailer. And it's

kind of like a little mini Optimus Prime type

of thing, where the sides fold down, the front

folds down, and there's this big gun that pops

out. Yeah. Well, it's a big chrome gun. There's

a little chair inside too, so another little

Diaclone figure could possibly sit there. If

the Diaclone figure was driving at the time,

he could come out so that he wasn't sitting on

Ironhide's face in robot mode, and then he would

sit here in the chair. So you've got this nice

comfy chair here with a giant cannon above it

in this little mini Optimus Prime setup. Well,

this is what's interesting about this figure

is that aside from the fact that he's got all

this cool stuff, but his gun Was a It's it's

like the handle it's got like a missile coming

out of one end and a barrel coming out of the

other end So he's got this long double -sided

gun that Doesn't actually you know fitness hand

what happens is it came with a peg this red peg

that fits in the front of the trailer and then

this giant gun would then sit on top of that

peg and if you look at the wiki you can see on

the front you can't really see the peg because

it's red along with the rest of the trailer but

there's a peg between that gun and the front

of the trailer and the pegs the one that's always

getting lost if you want to find that on ebay

you're going to pay off the nose for it The gun

you can find, the bag you can't find. So he's

got a peg that fits there, but the cool thing

about this one is that in vehicle mode, that

gun stows away under the car. It almost hides

like a drive shaft. So you don't see that a lot

in these older toys. And then there's a missile

that plugs into the the rocket launcher there

and usually I tuck that in just above the Cannon

under underneath this on the underside of the

car Yeah, so yes, and then you can put the peg

in the in the driver's seat because there's no

diagonal driver, so I mean Very rare early on

in the line to actually be able to stow away

the missiles I mean, you literally need a tackle

box to keep track of all of the extraneous pieces

that come out of these guys. I've actually got

my ratchet. I keep my ratchet and my iron hide

in a translucent box to keep them dust free,

but I've got my ratchet here in my hand and he's,

it's unfortunate, he's yellowing a little bit

on his trailer. Aw, that sucks. Uh, yeah, it

bothers me. And this one... Well, he could be

a movie repaint. Actually, I think they released

a ratchet that was green. Yeah, I know. I didn't

mean to drag it down that line. No interest in

green G1 ratchets, I'm just saying. Yeah, this

one doesn't have the cross on him, though. And

I'm not sure what that means, if that means he's

rare or some shit, but... Yeah, all the other

pictures I've seen of him will have like the

red You know first aid cross on him, and this

one doesn't have it Anyway back to Ironhide Well

you kept mentioning that Ironhide is pretty much

a mini optimus prime and for some odd reason

I started thinking of power master optimus, so

I started looking at power masters on the wiki

here and There is a best thing I can describe

it as a mini con that goes with slapdash The

name of the minicon is Lube. How the hell does

Hasbro have a copyright or a trademark on Lube?

Lube is Slapdash's power master companion. I

know, yeah, I know that's what he is. Wow. I

don't like the power masters because you can't

transform them unless you have their little power

masters snug in there. Right. The only one, just

looking at the list, you have Darkwing and Throttle,

Double Dealer and Knockoff or Scar, Dreadwind

and Hightest, Getaway Rev, Joyride and Hotwire,

Optimus and Haikyu, and Slapdash and Lube. Such

a horrible name. What, Haikyu? Haikyu. I'm really

smart. It's like, oh, I wouldn't go advertising

that shit, you know? No one's gonna like you.

They're all going to laugh at you. Yeah, they're

all going to laugh at you. The only Powermaster

I ever knew about was Optimus. And he was...

I actually had him a very long time ago. Unfortunately,

I don't have him anymore. Which sucks, but...

I didn't have any of them. I recently got Powermaster,

Alphamst Prime. I've got a complete slapdash.

I picked up Darkwing and Dreadwind. at a BotCon

a couple years ago. Just because at that time

I didn't have any Power Masters, and I was a

bit overwhelmed by those. And they combine, which

is neat. I got a Double Dealer, I've got a Getaway

with no accessories, and a Joyride with no accessories.

So you can't hotwire your Joyride to go have

a Joyride? I can't. I don't know. I mean, he's

a vehicle. I can't get him into robot mode. I

know, because you don't have hotwire. Yeah, I

mean, while there's like a peg, there's a little

button here you can push. Yeah. Yeah, they're,

okay, yeah, so I can, I can tick around with

them and I can do it, but I can't, you know,

I don't have a Power Master. But you know, I

mean, these, these are sadly, I hate to say this,

but, you know, these are prime examples of how

crappy the line got toward the end. Well, you

know, it's one of those things where gimmick's

gone wrong. Yeah. Because... Well, it's shades

of badly colored plastic and, you know, they're

not very, there's little or no articulation,

they're very bricky. Well, I like how Optimus

is his, oh what is it, his trailer flap that

flaps down to make the legs. Yeah. The one I

had was almost magnetic. Well, I've got mine

over here on the table of stuff that I was supposed

to take pictures of for Flickr. Well, no, I know,

but I'm saying when I had mine and you had him

in the big robot mode and now you have to fold

the flap down on his leg, the top part of the

flap that folds down and goes into position instead

of like you know nowadays we have stuff that

clicks into place this at least on mine it kinda

clicked but it was more of like it was either

super glued or magnetized to stay there and not

like if you shake him it's not gonna flip out

huh I don't know I'll have to go look at that

I don't know sure anyway yeah I'll have to go

back and peek at that So, yeah, as far as Iron

Head goes... Stick with the robot heroes. Don't

go with the headless horsemen of G1. No, well,

I mean, these guys are rare in the sense that

in robot mode, he is really skinny and his hinges

are just very fragile. I mean, the one that I've

got is fairly tight, but like my ratchet, he

just looses all hell. And I fear for these guys

because there's a lot of broken ones out there

and you can pick these up for parts. Mine's in

pretty good condition, he's tight. I really like

this guy. But again, like my ratchet, old, loose,

yellowing. Sadly how you're gonna find most of

these guys unless you get an encore with a cardboard

head Yeah, no, I I much prefer the red mr. T

to the no head or cardboard head Well the thing

is Yeah, mr. T. I'm pretty the fool mr. T is

comedy gold just everything he does is funny

you know I'm probably gonna have to go find that

and you know I know I go to great lengths for

some of my shows because I find the craziest

audio and mix it together to put in as a bumper

I'm gonna have to go find mr. T saying I pity

the fool And I'll have to go back to my G1 DVDs

and get Ironhide saying leak in lubricants. You

can probably find this somewhere. No, no, I know

I can, but... That's funny. Yeah, damn it. I

miss my childhood. I want my fucking Power Master

Prime back. I'm looking at his fucking picture

on the wiki here. Yeah, I want that thing. Damn

it. I don't know, he's not my favorite Prime.

What? He's not the best. He's not like, you know,

like, oh my god, into the world this is the best

Optimus Prime ever type of deal, but for the

time, you know, it goes back to nostalgia, for

the time it was great. Obviously that was what

the gimmick was for the line. Yeah. And I think

he is the only Optimus Prime that has a head

that size. Oh, he's got a big -ass head. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, and again, no place to put it.

You're gonna lose that head. Yeah, there's a

place to put it! Where? In the trailer! Inside

the trailer? Yeah! Uh... Yes? I'm gonna have

to open it up and look at it. Well, you do that

then. I was trying to get a hold of a Japanese

version because number one, I think the stickers

are... a little better on there because again

they decorate better. And number two, the fists

actually push into the wrists on the Japanese

version. Whereas on the American version you've

got these fists hanging off the top of the trailer.

But I did not, could not get one. Yes, there's

still only 212 items in this page here, you know.

On what page? Oh! Or, yeah, I never finished

my Project 365 and I keep thinking I'm gonna

start a new one, and I don't. Oh, see -spray.

I fail. Yes. You bastard, you've summoned the

fail -well! That's right. Oh, crap. Summon the

fail -well. I know what you're talking about

now, that was really fun. Yeah, trouble with

Twitter. Oh, here we go. I think this is it.

I'm sending you a link now of a picture on Flickr

with Ironhide and Ratchet with their custom heads.

Are these the cardboard versions? No, these are

the plastic ones that fit on top of the reissues.

What? That's like... Big body little head big

body Well, I mean their heads and they're cartoon

accurate heads and they're round and they're

plasticky and you know, it's not round and they're

plasticky, but yet the windshield takes up a

majority of where the head should be and It's

like holy crap. There's this giant fucking windshield.

What's that itty -bitty itty -bitty thing on

the top of it? Oh, it's his head Well, no again

it it goes from a problem with not having a head

to a problem with having your hips and your shoulders

in the same place Yeah, which is stupid. Well,

you know if you look at like g1 hound You know

his hips and his shoulders are in the same place

and nobody consumes the mind. Yeah No, I don't

know. Um, take a drink Hey, you said this time,

huh? I don't know bastard I'm just going to get

everyone trashed tonight by not knowing continuously.

Oh, boy. I don't know. I don't know. I don't

know. One of these nights we are going to get

you drunk, and we're going to have you drinking

and podcasting at the same time. That's going

to be funny as hell. Yeah. I know my limits.

And as a tubby old man, my limits are don't drink

any while you're in public, basically. You know,

my wife and I will have a glass of wine and have

some popcorn and watch a movie. But, you know,

at that point, it's just me and her together.

Well, yeah. Between the two of us, we don't care

if we're a little goofy. But, you know, when

we're out in public, we got to watch it. Yeah.

Because, you know, me a little goofy will get

myself in trouble. Yeah. I mean, in my younger

and wilder days, my friends would get me drunk

just to see what would happen. What is Michael

going to do tonight? Fill him full of Jaeger

and find out. Part of me is like, yeah, good

times. And the other part is like, oh my god,

I was crazy when I was that age. Oh, yes. But

yeah, again, old and tubby now, and I can't get

away with that. Yeah. I'm kind of expected to

know my limits and abide by them. Yeah. So, yeah.

See, that's why I don't drink, because number

one, I don't like the taste, and number two,

I know that I would either turn into one of those

drunks where I'm just totally like, leave me

the fuck alone, or... Or I would be like... I

love you, man! No, I wouldn't be Johnny, but

I would be one of those mean drunks like, leave

me the fuck alone, dammit! Go the hell away,

you bastards! Yes, yeah, no... I know that happens

to some people, but in my experience, that's

rare. But that's like the people who drink alone,

and then you just manage to bumble into their

personal space while they're drinking alone,

and then you're in trouble. But I'm more of a

social drinker. I don't drink at all unless,

well again, unless it's me and Chrissy having

a glass of wine, but I mean if we're out, it's

gonna be at like a wedding reception. Right,

yeah. You know something our birthday party or

something like that where you know you're like

Chrissy's little sister Katie just had her 21st

birthday Yes, I don't want to say just had it

might have been like a year ago, but there's

somewhere around those lines, but you know a

picture Yeah, so it's yeah, you know it's like

not very often, but occasionally. We'll actually

drink It happens. You've been known to partake.

Occasionally. Anyway, so I think I wrapped up

Ironhide. Yes, and I will say again, stick with

the Red Mohawk version. Don't get the no -head

version of G1. You know, personally, I think

I wouldn't mind having a fake head for mine.

Well, you know, personally, I would think that

kids would have been like... You know felt ripped

off or jaded You know in 1984 for buying this

because I don't know what the price What was

the price point on this back when it was released?

I have no idea like all right I got When I bought

my blaster now that I no longer have because

I had to sell him last year But anyway when I

bought my blaster my original g1 blaster it had

a price sticker on it of I think 20 $3 .95? Really?

Yeah. Wow. I might be wrong. Wait, no. I am wrong.

Never mind. It's a sticker of $12 .95. Okay.

That's what it was. So you take Blaster, who

is probably what? Nowadays maybe a Voyager? Yeah.

And you take Ironhide, who is probably what?

Deluxe Yeah, maybe but I mean remember these

were diecast metal no I know I'm not I'm not

discounting the thing, but I'm just saying How

do you think kids you know parents that go out

and got this toy for their kids in 1984? How

do you think the kids in 1984 felt when they

go to transform this thing in? holy crap mom

where the hell is his head? I was excited to

get my ratchet I really liked ratchet I didn't

know what an iron had when I was little when

I was little I had a ratchet and I thought it

was the coolest thing ever does his box show

that he has a head? no in fact the toys came

out before the cartoon I know that. Well, it

wasn't until the cartoon, you know, they said,

we can't have this figure running around without

a head. You gotta give him a head. So I gave

him a head. Yeah. But no, I dug it. I thought

it was cool. Yeah. I mean, he was one of my favorite

toys at the time. He's awesome. Damn. Anyway.

I either have to go to a different website or

I just have to close out Safari because I'm tired

of looking at this Power Master Optimus because

I so fucking want him so bad, damn it. Again,

not a big fan of the Power Masters at all. Well,

like I said, you know, it's Optimus Prime. Yeah,

regardless if you're a fan of the power masters.

It's an optimus prime now. I don't my optimus

prime fandom doesn't go to like extreme lengths

of Pepsi prime and Yeah, the match prime and

yeah, you know leave Tony starch alone damn it

Give me your face Tony starch But you know I

I don't know and just you know looking at this

picture is making me feel nostalgic And I want

my fucking power master optimus prime Yeah, I

You know personally out of out of all the prime

toys. I don't think they have the power master

prime is is you know my absolute favorite I Mean

some of the g2 primes are really nice man g2

sucked Oh, Laser Optimus Prime. Totally kicked

ass. I mean, seriously, he's really well articulated.

You can pose him all sorts of ways. His trailer

becomes a base that shoots missiles. I mean,

he's... And he lights up. He's got a sword that

lights up. How cool is that? Meh. Meh. Yeah,

well, that's because you didn't have one when

you were little. But, no, he totally... He totally

rocks. I like him a lot. Oh boy. Anyway. Oh,

I was gonna say, you know, naming off favorite

Prime toys and didn't even mention 20th Anniversary.

Masterpiece Prime. Mine's... God, you know, when

I... Wait, isn't 25th... isn't 20th Anniversary

different from Masterpiece? No, I believe that

20th Anniversary and Masterpiece are the same

toy. Well, I shouldn't say that. Masterpiece

Prime is battle damaged. He's got, like, carbon

scoring on him from being shot up or something.

20th Anniversary is not. We painted him in the

U .S. so that he was not, uh... Oh, that's just

ridiculous. What? Did they repaint him? No, I'm

looking at Big Bad Toy Store because I reopened

the website thing to go to the wiki again, but...

Disney TF Donald Duck. Fifty dollars. Fuck that!

Oh, psh. Yeah. I'm not gonna go there. Even a

gun I go there So you were saying about the repaint

oh the DVD edition oh Okay, yeah, that was that

one didn't have battle damage And the thing is

is I've got the DVD edition And the one year

I forgot what year was it was oh six I think

When that came out and we went to BotCon and

I want to say Peter Cullen was there, and some

girl ahead of us in line had one and had Peter

Cullen sign it. And I was like, oh my god, you're

so lucky. And I didn't actually find one in stores

for a couple months after that. It was closer

to the fall when I found mine. But my older one,

the regular 20th anniversary, I had opened it

and had it in the I've had it on I may have told

you the story before but I had it up in my loft

is at the time I had a townhouse and My office

was in the loft and I had prime standing next

to the oh Next to the the railing overlooking

the living room, right? And it was really cute.

I had an invitation to our wedding. And Prime

had this in his hand. And it was kind of like

he was reading it, like he was invited to the

wedding. And I stood back to take a picture.

And I snapped off one shot of him, maybe two.

And then when I put the camera down, he was gone.

Damn. You fell over the side. the loft and busted

his leg off oh no I know he's broke at the hip

and I was crushed I mean just crushed and now

when I moved I put him back in his packaging

because I kept all the packaging right I put

him back in the package for the move and then

never pulled him out because I mean at this point

he looks better in the package because, you know,

he's damaged and I want to pull him out and then

have his leg fall off. Right. And I was actually

looking to see if I could find, you know, like

an incomplete 20th Anniversary Prime. I'd be

happy with one that was broken in half just as

long as I could salvage out the gears that go

in his hip. But I couldn't find one. Someone

actually said they had a broken one and they

wanted like 50 bucks for it. I went, why the

hell would I pay you 50 bucks for a broken toy?

Yeah, I don't even need part. I just need that

hip. That's all I need No, you know, I guess

nobody has one that's broken in half I know you've

I know you've clarified this before but I'm still

confused when I think of Masterpiece Optimus

Prime I think of mp04 which is the Japanese one

with the matrix and is that is that different

from 20th anniversary mp01 MP01, what? It was

just the Prime. MP04 was the Prime and the trailer

in the same box. Right, exactly. MP01 is Masterpiece

Prime, which is the same as the 20th Anniversary.

Okay. But except for the fact that the 20th Anniversary,

the Hasbro version, has painted on battle damage,

so he's like carbon -scored. He's got gray splotches

on him where he's been injured. And his smokestacks

are short. The smokestacks are stunted on either

shoulder, whereas in the Japanese version they

come up about an inch. In America, you can't

get away with that because idiot American kids

poke themselves in the eyes with smokestacks.

So yeah, they stunted his smokestacks. But other

than that, it's the same toy. And yeah, it's

a big prime. His chest opens up, his matrix lights

up. He's really, really posable. He's got like

pistons that actually move when you move his

elbows and his knees. He's got shocks in his

feet. When you push his feet down, the shocks

kick in and the venting in his shins opens and

closes. I mean, he's just really, really, really

cool. And honestly, if his hip wasn't broken

off, I'd definitely take him to work and display

him on my desk. My 20th anniversary DVD collection,

you know same figure with no I mean well his

his his paint is a little more vibrant red then

right and He's got no battle damage. So he looks

up he's painted up more like the masterpiece

version and Japanese version But he's still in

the package. I'm probably never gonna take him

out of the package. Yeah with my luck He'll fall

off a loft or something So yeah, those were those

two. The 25th Anniversary Edition was just another

reissue of the G1. I think that's what you were

thinking of, though. No, what I was thinking

of was wanting to know the difference between

the MP01, which is the die -cast big Matrix energy

axe holding thing, And then the repaint of the

G1 Convoy, Robot Masters G1 Convoy, which was

the 20th anniversary with the DVD. Yeah, the

only thing that's different is the colors are

different. Robot Masters? Yeah. There was a Japanese

line called Robot Masters. I don't know. All

I know is that it says G1 Convoy plus DVD on

the... there. Copy. Oh, the one that came out

in 2004? Yeah. RM -10? Yeah. Yeah, that's, uh,

not the same thing. Okay. He kinda looks like,

uh, the 20th anniversary of Prime, but... Robot

Masters was a Japanese line that came out that

never came to the US. And that figure's probably

about six inches tall. I've got one. He's cool.

But no, those never came to the US. Why does

Optimus' little communicator things in his arms,

why does it show Starscream? I don't know. I

think there's one where he talks to Bumblebee

and then the other one he talks to Starscream.

Yeah, but why? I don't know. Maybe he's not so

much communicating with Starscream, he's just

spying on him. Makes no sense, but okay. Oh,

it could be spying on him, I don't know. Eh,

could be. I don't know. But yeah, if I did get,

like, an ultimate, like, um... Like, most show

accurate optimists, I would... I would want the

full trailer and everything else, so I would

get the MP04. Yeah, that's expensive. So how

much bucks? Chris, you bought me one. What do

you think of finally seeing official images of

Ghost Masterpiece Starscream? I don't know. I

don't know either. That's just... Yeah, I mean,

really, honestly, I know Thorazine's excited.

Oh, yeah. But, you know, he'll be equally excited

when, you know, Takara releases the black and

silver, you know, version of Masterpiece Starscream.

It's like, how many Masterpiece Starscreams do

you think you can sell? I mean, literally, they're

a hundred and some odd bucks each, and... Yeah.

And that's before shipping, I think. So it's

like, man, they've got Starscream. I should say,

from Japan, you've got the original one, which

is a regular jet color, which is like a greenish.

And then you've got the US edition, which was

the same one they released in Walmart, except

this one's got a sticker on it that says USA

edition. They've got Thundercracker and Skywarp

that they released in their regular MPO, I forget

what numbers they were, but the regular MP boxes.

And now they've got the clear one. And you know

they're going to release the black and gold one.

And if they were smart, because they know they're

going to sell them, they'd turn right around

and release the Sunstorm. I like the wiki's caption

for Masterpiece Megatron. Dude, I don't even

need to fire this thing. I can just like totally

bash you to death with it. Not on that page.

But yeah, I've got a Masterpiece Megatron and

I've got the stock pieces. Because, you know,

he's a gun, but... He didn't come with the stock

and the barrel and the scope and that. They actually

came with a separate set. Once you've bought

Megatron for 150 bucks, you buy the extra set

for another 50. They're just bleeding you dry.

But I think I got them both together at a substantial

discount from TF Source or something. That's

cool. I think it was TF Source. Yeah, just got

both of those and never opened them Huh yeah,

it's sad. I buy this shit. Don't open it. I really

got to stop I'm either have to stop buying stuff

or open this shit. You already bought Well, if

I have more room I might but I mean, I think

I'm getting to the point now where I Don't know.

I have a feeling that maybe there was part of

me that it was unfulfilled and I filled it with

transformers and I think now I'm growing a little

and I'm really kind of secure in my life and

I and my family and you know I pour more and

more into my boys so at this point I'm not sure

if I need to fill a hole anymore and I'm wondering

you know how much longer I'm going to keep this

up You know that if you like the new cartoon

and you like the new cartoon toys you're gonna

buy every single one of them Dude don't lie we

don't even know what the new cartoons gonna be

yet But you know if if people are gonna like

it hell if it's you know any anything close to

the popularity that animated got Yeah, no you're

buying them toys. You know I'm not I'm not sure

what what the next series is gonna be but From

what I saw at Toy Fair, it's more movie toys,

more RPMs, which are essentially movie toys,

and then the power core combiners. And then a

small smattering, you know, of like universe

toys. And most of them I didn't really like.

Like Drift. Drift is IDW's Mary Sue. You know,

it's like a super powerful character that everybody

will love because they're amazing. It's like,

you know what, I don't want you inserting your

Mary Sue into my, you know, childhood universe.

You know, it's like, don't pull that shit. I'm

not reading fan fiction, you know, and calling

it canon. Yeah. Well, you know, out of the stuff

that they did show at Toy Fair, I gotta say,

and I've said this before, on Twitter and Facebook

and wherever else, That generations optimus prime

I mean generation the the generations line is

essentially universe 3 .0 But I mean that generations

optimus prime. It's based off of the war for

Cybertron design That's gonna be an awesome tool.

That's gonna be an awesome fucking toy. I dig

it. Yeah, I like it a lot I'm looking forward

to that. I would like to see more than just two

war for Cybertron toys Yeah, I would too You

know I'd like to see a war for Cybertron toy

of shockwave depending on what his alt modes

gonna be God that's an amazing amazing mold or

I should say model. It's not a toy yet It's just

3d model. Yeah, but it's awesome. It doesn't

look like it has an alt mode I don't know. I

don't know what you could make out of that thing

well a giant vacuum cleaning blaster I don't

know. Just look at him. I don't think he could

become a blaster. I'm not sure if he could even

become a tank. He's got no treads or anything

that makes him. He's got nothing that makes him

look like he's got an alt mode. Yeah. You know,

it's like in the early episode of G1 where it's

like, what's his sound wave become before he

was a tape deck? Oh, he became a street light.

Oh, yeah. Great. I don't know if that photo was

reversed or if it is intentionally made to have

the gun arm be his right arm instead of his left.

Is awesome as hell I think with with uh Sometimes

with with the 3d rendering it'll transpose and

look backwards. Yeah, so I mean most likely in

the game The gun will be on the other arm But

it still looks cool as hell. It looks terribly

cool. And you know Just watching the trailer.

There are other characters besides Prime and

mumblebee You know, you've got Megatron and Megatron

may or may not have a good alt mode But... Megatron's

thought mode sucks. Yeah, and they also had Ratchet.

I saw Ratchet in there. We saw Soundwave in there.

We saw Starscream in there. And, you know, we've

got enough of the... What do they call them?

The Tetrajets? Yeah. From the Titanium series.

You know, so I could probably do without a Starscream.

But, I mean, you know, a Soundwave? Yeah! How

cool would that be? Yeah, that would be super

cool. pre -earth sound wave and a pre -earth,

any pre -earth ratchet that you could easily

repaint into a pre -earth iron hide. Yeah. Yeah,

I would buy it. Especially if it looks anywhere

near as cool as, well, I don't want to say anywhere

near as cool as what Bumblebee looks like because

the pictures of Bumblebee we've seen so far are

the Hasbro retouched ones. where, you know, they

highlight all the detailing. Well, no, I saw

a live video from Toy Fair that showed the toy

off. Okay, I haven't seen that. I'll have to

find it. It's one of that new Toy Smells episodes

on YouTube. I'll have to find it and send you

the link. So far I've only seen the Hasbro Photoshopped

versions. And they look awesome. Yeah. Don't

get me wrong, but the Photoshopped versions are

never as good as, or I should say, never as indicative

of what you're really going to get. Right, yeah.

It's like when you hold it up in front of you

in plain old household light without the benefit

of high powered flashes and Photoshop experts,

then yeah, it's not going to be the same thing.

I guess I want to bring up one last thing because,

you know, you always show me crap that I can

never have. And a couple of weeks ago, a couple

of weeks ago, you sent me a link in Twitter to

a Flickr page. It was Frenzy Rumble's Flickr

page where he customized an armor set for Shattered

Glass Optimus Prime based off the City Commander

armor set. You bastard! Why do you show me stuff

I can't never have? This this looks so For being

I mean frenzy rumble just from what I've seen

him do like with the Devastator did for PR and

just everything else that I've seen on his YouTube

channel He does awesome awesome custom work fans

project or hell even Hasbro needs to hire this

guy because Damn, I want this this custom I think

the problem, well, it's like, yeah, it would

be neat if he got picked up by a big company.

But the problem is that he paints, the way he

paints, it's amazing. It's incredible stuff.

He does amazing work. But you couldn't mass release

it. Because when Hasbro paints a toy, when you

see hand -painted a test copies. They look really,

really neat. But when you get the mass release

version, it's always missing all these paint

apps. And you're like, well, it looks so cool

before they release it. What happened? And what

happens is they circulate internally. And the

people who pinch the pennies say, OK, look, this

paint app and this paint app is going to cost

$0 .01 per unit. If we ditch these two paint

apps, Like, you know, some highlighting on the

shoulders or, you know, some silver on the kneecaps

or whatever. We ditched that and we're saving

ourselves, you know, $100 ,000 on this unit.

Oh, I fully understand that and I probably, you

know, and because of that he probably wouldn't

want to be, you know, employed by Hasbro, but,

you know... I'm sure he's doing a very good living

just... Oh yeah, I'm thinking like customs that

he does, but... You know, this shattered glass

prime that he customized for... I don't know

who he customized it for, but these pictures...

Like, holy crap, he... On the trailer, because

the trailer is basically the same color as I

said way back in whatever episode it was that

I said that I want Fans Project to do this. He

actually put the Till All Are Gone on the side

of the trailer. Yeah. It looks sharp. Yeah. It

does. I commented on one of those, at least on

Flickr, that it's just a matter of time before

Fans Project releases that mold in similar colors.

Maybe not the same colors, because from what

I read, it looks like he had a really hard time

matching the purple. Yeah, he did. But yeah,

maybe not the exact same colors, but I'm really

surprised. Fans Project will not let money that

they couldn't have in their pocket slip away.

If they could use the same mold that they've

used five times already and reproduce a purple

and green one and call it shattered glass, even

if they only sold 500 of them, they'd still be

coming out ahead because the mold already exists.

I should say that the tooling and everything

that they need to create more already exists.

It's sitting somewhere in a Chinese warehouse.

All you have to do is plug it back in. Yeah,

but this thing looks so freaking awesome. It

is amazing. And again, at Frenzy Rumble, just

amazing work. Yes. He does just the coolest damn

things. Yeah, but I mean that's gotta be expensive

because I mean first you have to buy the city

commander and then you have to pay him to repaint

it So I can't imagine that being a cheap endeavor

I don't know but yeah, so I guess we'll wrap

this up. How's that file? Yeah, see you said

it not see So, you know, it's not me People don't

drink when I don't know. It's not my show. People

drink when you don't know. Well, you're part

of the show, so... I'm allowed to not know. Plus,

you kind of make it a habit. It's kind of like

a weird quirk of yours that I've picked up on.
