Podcast Editing and Production Challenges

It's gonna be fun. We can stay up late swapping

manly stories and in the morning, I'm making

waffles. Hey, this is Steve Bloom and you are

listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. You

are tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered Geek.

Hello and welcome to Altered Geek. I'm your host,

Steve Megatron. And joining me in this adventure

into geekdom is TFG1 Mike. Or maybe not. No,

I'm here. Can you hear me? I can hear you. OK.

No, I'm here. I said hello. Oh, yeah. It didn't

register with me. Oh, great. So yeah, there's

a lot of things lately that are not registering

with me. Yeah. Yes, sir. The top 100 is over.

Yes, the top 100 Transformers characters countdown

is in the books. I only have to edit part six,

which is the wrap up, which is not to take anything

away from the top 100. It's basically slap an

intro, slap an outro, make sure it's leveled.

I don't think there was any clips that I was

putting in or that we were putting in, and that's

it and it will be out. Before the end of the

month of September What part six yeah Well, cuz

I don't know I don't know if you're releasing

this this week or next week or whenever you're

releasing this it'll be out at some point before

the end of September my goal is to have it out

by 17th, which is the 37th 38th anniversary of

generation one 1984 yeah so that was always the

plan like when we were producing the top 100

my overall plan in the back of my brain was to

have it air between August 8th which is the movie's

anniversary date and September 17th which is

the show's anniversary date so it all comes back

to Transformers Well, in in in case people are

just tuning in, we're talking about our longest

and worst jobs in this episode because we're

both fresh off of some some decently big edits.

I mean, yours obviously was much, much more in

depth. And before, you know, we can talk about

this to my editing style versus your editing

style is completely different. Yeah, your editing

style is you sit there in this monotonous, like

crazy, crazy attention to detail that I just

don't have time for. So I go to this length of

am I being paid for it? And then I have this

checkbox and it's like yay or nay. So if it's

nay, I ignore it completely. I'll do bare minimum.

to get away with and some good, more so just

because of time. I back when, I mean, like a

couple of years ago, where I used to produce

like five, six shows a week, that that was a

little bit different. Like I put more effort,

I put more time, I. I kind of paid more attention

to it. Well, six years ago, you didn't have two

children. So I did. But the sort of thing is,

is like my job situation has changed multiple

times. Exactly. Which which has created the dilemma

that I just I don't have time. So suffice it

to say, I've I've taken the easy road. So whereas

you. So here's the thing about me. recently and

I've mentioned this on the show before in the

last two years two years ago as of this May I

had brain surgery and I was you know 41 years

ago in February of 1980 I was born and I was

born with a mild case of cerebral palsy and optic

atrophy in my eyes and a whole bunch of other

issues Sure repose i always say only affects

the right side of my body if you if you ever

meet me in person you look at me my left hand

and foot are fully grown my right hand and foot

are not and i can barely use. My right hand i

can walk just fine i'm perfectly fine walking

i'm lucky enough that my case is true policy

is not. as severe as needing to have like crutches.

The best thing I can think of to explain it to

people in audio form. Imagine you're watching

Breaking Bad and you're watching Walter White

Jr. His actor, R .J. Mitty, actually has a form

of CP, but he has to, he actually had to make

his form of CP worse for the character in the

show. In the show, R .J. as Walter White Jr.

uses like crutches and walks a little bit worse

than I do kind of thing. And I'm not trying to

compare. I'm just saying so people get a visual

of what this is. Well, I in 41 years of my life,

I guess at some point around age 39, I had a,

you know, I had a Mitch moment. I had a Billy

Crystal City Slickers moment where it's like,

what the hell is going on? Because all these

years I forgot the cerebral part of the cerebral

palsy, which means it affects your brain too.

So basically this happened. And I know this is

a long ass winded story, folks, and I'm sorry

because nobody really wants to hear this. But.

When I was. Being baked in the oven. Apparently,

a piece did not form, so everybody, most everybody.

in their brains has this thing in the back of

their head in the back of the brain called the

corpus column. This connects this connects your

left and right hemispheres. I do not have it.

I never had it. It never formed. So essentially,

I was born brain damaged. I was brain damaged

before I even came out of my mother's womb. All

of this to say that Yes, I've had jobs in my

lifetime, but I've never been able to keep a

job that number one, I want in a job. I number

one may be needed at the time kind of thing.

So I, I'm on supplemental security income. I'm

disabled, you know, so I have all the time in

the world, even, you know, before Karen and I

met in 2017 from December. 12th, 2008 until we

met in 2017. All of those years that I've been

podcasting, obviously not the first year, year

and a half, because at the time you were doing

all the editing and then I took over in like

late 2009, 2010 for most things. I mean, for

my own things, at least for things I wanted to

do that you didn't have time for because you

were, you know, hawking cars and hawking pizzas

and hocking, hockey's or whatever you were doing

back then, you know, so I have all the time in

the world, literally, because I can't have, I

cannot work a physical day job. And the only

things that I'm really qualified for with a high

school education. And I've tried going back to

college twice. Again, the brain thing. I, I have

this It's gotten worse now. I have this laser

focus If you tell you know if you sit here and

write me out an email and say hey Mike I need

you to edit this episode of AG because I have

to do something else or whatever I want this

this this and this and this in it. I'm like,

okay fine. I May have to check that list like

five times But I will laser focus in on getting

that one episode done and it may take me six

hours depending on if, if Craig screws up in

Discord, not that he does all the time, but he

does sometimes, or if heaven forbid one of our

internet can, I don't even want to talk about

that now. If the internet goes out, you know,

if the internet goes dark, something happens,

whatever. As long as nothing happens in an episode,

as long as like a train doesn't derail in the

middle of downtown Vancouver, Washington or,

or whatever. I usually can go through a regular

podcast episode within two and a half to three

hours and get it done, get the intro, get the

outro, get the middle all straightened out and

done. With the top 100 Transformers characters

countdown, that was... It was a creative nightmare.

And I'm not saying that to insult anyone at all.

And his creativity, and I'll mention his name

in a minute, his creativity of doing the way

we did the intro and the way we talked about

the whole thing before, you know, the whole,

oh, I'm gonna say this and then this clip will

play and whatever. Like, Optimus Solo's creativity

on how we did parts one through four. of the

countdown because part five I took over. I'm

like, I want this to be as short as possible.

But parts one through four, if you listen to

it, it's this back and forth thing and this fun

thing where we've I found clips that he wanted

that, you know, characters would respond like

if I said something like, oh, and we only have

14 Beast Wars characters and the 15th character.

Didn't even get ranked poor Megatron. He didn't

even make the list And Megatron would say something

stupid And Megatron would say something stupid

Hello Doesn't say anything stupid you might want

to repeat that now I have to edit this Said Megatron

doesn't say anything stupid But the point is

we had you know optimus solo came up with this

intricate intro and Seeing how he wanted that

done. I was like, okay, I can do this and ever

since I want to say 2014 which was the 30th anniversary

of Transformers I've always wanted to redo the

TFG1 podcast and do it right. And now that I'm

13 years, not now, at this moment, that I'm 13

years into podcasting, I feel like I can go back

and do it right. Well, since we were doing this

top 100 Transformers characters countdown, you

know what, folks? I'm just going to record all

the episodes I can. I have full audio from, I

want to say 85 % of Generation 1. I have full

audio from maybe 75 % of Beast Wars. Not so much

Beast Machines yet, but you know, I have full

episode audio for all of it. And then I would

go into that and I would cut out the clips that

we wanted and then obviously put them into the

countdown and whatever else. So the 90 hour edit

job that I'm talking about in total of all five

parts, five out of the six parts, That the 90

hours is just the editing that's not counting.

The time that I took to watch and record. All

of the episodes because for me it's like I would

rather do that. Spend the time to do that and

go back and find the clip in the audio then have

to sit here and dig through like I remember there

were a couple episodes of Beast Wars where I

messaged you and I'm like where the fuck is this

line. Like, I don't know where it is. And you'd

be like, oh, it's in this episode. And I'd be

like, oh, right. I remember exactly where it

is. Not like I needed some sort of refresher

course in my head kind of thing. So yeah. And

parts one through four went fairly well. I used

my time wisely. I took breaks. I did this. I

did that and got everything done. Part five was

the top 25 faces of darkness. That was a whole

other ball of wax and I will never, we're not

getting paid for this. We're doing this because

we love it, because it's our content, because

it's our top 100. But if somebody ever wants

me to do this again, like the way we've done

it, like the way I did it, they're going to have

to pay me a lot of money because part five. I

mentioned, I think I mentioned this to you off

air. The night I started it, the night I started

the editing, I got the intro down, I saved it,

I took a break. That took me maybe 45 minutes

to an hour. I came back and I sat here from number

25 to number 20. That took me about Five hours

To get all the clips to make sure the audio was

lined up to make sure is the thing about the

top 100 Transformers characters countdown folks

if you listen to it Every time we reach a number

like if optimus solo says, okay, it's time to

get into the countdown here's The first entrance,

you know, here's the first entrant And then what

happens is I have a sound effect of the original

G1 transform up and transform down sound. So

what I did was I took those sound effects. I

put that where optimus solo said, okay, here's

the next entrance. I put that sound effect and

then you and your voice acting skills did all

the numbers for us and various characters. So

I forget who you used for number 25 at this moment

in time. But you used one of the characters that

you can voice. I wonder if it was blur. I think

blur just passed by outside. But, you know, you

know, you would say number 25 and then I would

put the transform down sound and go back to Optimus

Solo saying, OK. This is who is at this number.

this person was on this many lists this this

bot was on this many lists and it you know he

would you know reveal the name and usually somewhere

right around him revealing the name or if he

would the one thing I do like about some part

of optimus solo style is he will ask one of us

a question so he'll say TF2 and Mike what do

you think of this character falling in at number

100 Before I answer I will put whomever like

let's just say it was blur, but I know it wasn't

You know, I would put a clip from blur Between

his question and my answer. Mm -hmm And then

I would let the rest of it play and I would I

would repeat that for each number I would do

that whole, you know the transform up transform

down your number and blah blah all of that and

You know what? I'm proud that we did it. I love

what what we did with it, but the top 25 nearly

killed me. Like I said, I took five hours to

do numbers 25 to 20. From 19 to 13, it took me

about six hours. And then from 13 to seven, by

the time I got to entry seven, I was like, I

got to tap out. This was the 13 hour. I literally

sat here at my computer. from 9 a .m. to 9 p

.m. I didn't get up until actually 1030 because

I had to make sure everything's I had to save

it and whatever so basically 12 and a half 13

hours I sat here I got up twice to go to the

bathroom and maybe get something to drink but

I was editing all that time to make sure I could

get that I wanted to get it done I mean it was

pressure I put on myself well it wasn't like

you saying oh my god when are we gonna have like

Literally, I couldn't do it until the day it

was supposed to air and that's the 13 hour day

that I was doing all of the editing and I didn't

get it out until like the next day or the two

days later or something. And maybe there are

easier ways to do it. And maybe there are, you

know. I, you know, I know you've mentioned and

we have to go out and go over the software, you

know, new, new tools for, for Adobe and things

like that. And that's great. But as you said,

I am, I, I have an asinine attention to detail

because I didn't want this thing. Like in 13

years, the first four or five years of the GCRM,

We got a lot of comments or reviews or whatever

saying oh the levels are off or oh I wish these

guys would level or oh The sound the sound the

this the that well you know what it's all No,

and I'm not saying they were at all they went

back and I had actually started to re -edit old

shows Just because of how bad they sound mm -hmm

Yeah and You know, it's 13 years and by the end

of this countdown, I was not not. I'm like top

100 toys. OK, see you in 2023, folks. Although

that will be a much easier countdown. I mean,

after all, this was Transformers. We are known

for Transformers content. We had to go all out

for it. Yeah, we had to. I mean, like. Looking

back on it now do I wish I did it a little differently

maybe but most likely not because Hello, we had

to go all out for it. So as you mentioned on

part five King of Kong's Wrote a comment whoever

does the editing for these are on point one of

the best podcasts I've listened to from you guys

overall. No major complaints for the top 100

also Team Rodimus. Yay. Shut up. So, you know.

You can do Dick Gautier's voice, then you can

you can tell me to shut up. I wish I could do

his voice. Start practicing it and I'll stop

bashing him. Uh -huh. Hey, the man's dead. You

shouldn't speak ill of the dead. I'm at the character.

Oh, screw you. You're not lit. Wow. I got him.

All right. So as far as editing jobs are concerned.

Have you ever edited an audio drama? No. It's

about close to what you had to do. In the sense

that I I had to not only edit it, I had to direct

it. I produced it. I directed it. I voiced in

it as one of the characters. And I had two other

actors that one of them had to do an extremely

difficult voice. The other one I had to slow

down their speech. Mm hmm. Basically, this individual

likes to it just talks really fast. I don't know

if it's a nervous tendency. Sometimes I do that

when I play a particular character. in the program,

just because you see the lines on the page and

you're like, I got to read these. I got to get

this whole paragraph done. I have to get it done

in this amount of time. It is not necessarily

that. So what I what I had to do is I record

it just like the regular show director does.

And I recorded two takes. The first take of some

of the dialogue with me and the other actor.

played out really well and I was able to use

it like bits and pieces and I had to like splice

sentences and things like that. So I got to feel

the pain of what the the main program director

does. And so I did that. I pieced it together.

I went to the the aspect of of getting the the

vocal performance I was looking for out of the

two of us and. I pretty much knew I nailed what

I was looking for. I'm not looking for like the

extreme perfection because it's supposed to be

characters from the show that are scripted to

be on a podcast. Right. So it adds an extra layer

of like, OK, you can have the goofiness of it

being a podcast. And so we have a, you know,

somebody in the control room and the other actor

I had to make them sound like they're in the

control room and pressing a button. So like I

would go. You know, you'd hear a one of those

type sounds and hear them kind of talk a little

muffled over the intercom, you know, and I had

to come up with the effect for it because Adobe

doesn't have one specifically for that. And.

There's the effects rack that you can use and

while it's very helpful, I see that more more

ways than one, there's a preset. in there that

says like on the telephone or things like that.

I used the on the telephone, but then I started

manipulating it pretty heavily to get the sound

that I was looking for. And lo and behold, I

created a new preset for it. So so there was

that. And then I had to. do like doors opening

and closing and then, you know, scraping a old

metal chair from, you know, because it takes

place in like a school. So I had to make the

old metal chair scraping on the floor and then

had to have, you know, a little bit of footsteps.

And then I had, you know, added in like crumpling

of a bag because it was kind of like a like a

almost like a true crime thing. But it was like

very trivial because it's made for kids. So it's

like, oh, you stole my bag of food. And and so

it was quite entertaining to do that. And then

I had, you know, various other sound effects.

So it was I posted it on social media. I'm like,

this is what I've been working on in my timeline.

It's nowhere near the expansive thing that you

had to do because mine was like 10 minutes long

and yours was two and a half hours. But that's

the thing I put 13 hours into something that's

only two and a half hours long. Well, I put.

six hours into this. Yeah, just because I had

to make sure that the sound effects were right.

I had to make sure they're in the right spot.

I actually had downloaded it and previewed it

for my kids, which I was thankful for because

when I had the second like the first and second

take of a couple of scenes were not good for

the third actor. But the first take was completely.

just for the sake of recording it and getting

them comfortable. The second the second take,

most of it was usable. There was a couple of

things I had to have specifically repeated for

a third take because it was just a lot to take

in and the way it was written. And so I I had

left remnants of the original because I still

cut it and placed it because the timing was still

going to be right. Just the. the the way that

it was inflected was different. And so I cut

the first take and placed it knowing I was going

to replace all of it anyway. And I unfortunately

slid the first take over of one of of two of

the lines and it overlapped another line. Oh,

no, I hate that. And then and then I realized

that I was trying to do a distance thing with

one of the characters like they're not in the

same room, but they're yelling and you can hear

them off in the distance. Right. So I was trying

to do that with like one of the ear. you know,

singling out a particular side of the stereo

track. Well, Google Home doesn't recognize that.

Oh, no. So I'm sitting here waiting for this

and I'm like, there's no sound for this character

that's supposed to be yelling. And so I went

back in and I mixed it back down to a mono track

like the whole. episode so that you can hear

it. But it's it's more often the distance. So

I fixed the issue, but I was really glad that

I listened to it when I did, because that was

it's one of the hardest edits I've had to do

recently. And that's saying like I've had interviews

where I've had to massively go in and edit like

our original David Kay from 2009 and or 2008,

2009. And then the the John Delancey where I

mean, it came out great. And the guys, the guys,

I have no ill will against the guy. I think it

was just the awkwardness of talking to a fan.

Yeah. As opposed to when he's doing interviews,

talking to like CBS or people from the the, you

know, the next generation, you know, where he's

talking to Will Wheaton. Of course, it's going

to be more open because they're friends. It's

not, you know, it's not some nerd going, hey,

do you remember this one episode? Yeah. Like,

you know, like the Chris Farley skit on SNL.

Yeah, but the thing about interviews and the

thing about questions for interviews is I think

we have found. A list of questions that not only

brings up what we love about that person. But

it also like again, going back to the Maurice

Lamarche interview we did. Where Kevin asked

him what type of voice acting do you prefer to

do animation? live -action narration, whatever,

you know, or, you know, video games or whatever.

And Maurice said, well, you know, I just finished

a video game doing Mr. Freeze for Batman Arkham

City. Now, this was years ago, folks. This is

not news now. You know, that question elicited

an answer that basically at the time kind of

shot us to the to the head of the Internet for

a couple of days. You know, so that's the thing

about interviews is you have to and that's the

thing that I'm trying to do now, not necessarily

for our celebrity interviews, but I've mentioned

this before that. Over the last eight years,

I've been doing what I call origins on the pull

bag where I have now I have a set before it was

it was still in the in the in the process, but

I have a set. Form of questions that are 25 questions

long and it doesn't take time It doesn't take

as much time as it sounds when you say oh You

have to answer 25 questions. It really doesn't

go it. It's very Depending on the answers. It's

a very fun fluid thing You know and I'm applying

that to other things like toy cast like Tooncast

we've got tooncast origins coming soon on tooncast

I mentioned to like Toycast Origins has 42 questions

because the answer to everything is 42, right?

And I recorded it with a guy, Rodimus Primal,

who we had on the top 100 characters countdown.

And I said, yeah, sorry for how late it is. He

goes, oh, it's no big deal. It didn't even feel

like it was that long. And it really wasn't.

You just have to find the niche. You have to

find what works for your style. Try your best

to put that OG Willikers awkward fan part of

your brain in the back row. So the front and

center is, hi Mr. Delancey, my name is Steve.

I have a few questions for you. They're gonna

be fun questions. I'm not saying you're gonna

talk as monotone as I'm trying to make it sound.

But it's the point of, oh, this is just a few

questions. You can promote whatever you want

at the end and whatever. And if you have good

enough questions, they're going to give you good

enough stories, whether you're a celebrity like

like you mentioned earlier about, you know, Wil

Wheaton, how their friends and stuff. Anybody

who's a podcaster that comes up with a really

damn good question will get a really damn good

story from whomever they're interviewing. We've

gotten some doozies over the years. I recently

Talk about redoing audio. I did not redo the

whole episode, but I probably should go back

and do that. I dug out The Kevin Connery interview

we did in 2012 because he has in my personal

opinion the most positive uplifting September

11th 2001 story ever and I leveled that audio

because at the time we were releasing episode

238 of tooncast and it was going to be released

on saturday september 11th and i'm like we can't

not acknowledge 9 11 after all it's been 20 years

and all of that so allison and i allison richards

who is co -hosting with me on tooncast currently

because we're doing the marvel What if cartoon

series that's on Disney +, which is really, really

good. I never, I never read the what if comics,

but I love this cartoon series. So we're doing

that. And I wanted to somehow reintroduce people

to Kevin Conroy's 9 -11 story. And we just did,

you know, I said this thing and I said, okay,

we're going to go for a moment of silence and

then we're going to have the story play. And

then we'll come back and talk about episode five.

Yeah, it was episode five. Of Marvel, what if?

So it just depends on on interviews. It just

depends on if you are prepared to the point of

you have all the questions you want to ask. You

have the questions done in the order that you

want them done in and. It depends on how the

guest reacts to your personality. That's really

all it is. I guess. I don't know. Pretty much.

I don't know. Yeah, I plan to try and go back

and and and re edit some old stuff that we have.

She has to see just to see if I can fix it. Right.

But. Yeah, I don't know. It's it's kind of fun

to sit there and tweak it and see what you can

make work. Yeah. But it's also very tedious and

difficult at the same time. Again, it depends

on the original audio. If the original audio

isn't. First of all, it depends, especially back

then, it depended on who we were getting in where

they were, because I know one of our two Tara

Strong interviews, she was at a salon, but she

had good cell service, so it was fine. Whereas

sometimes, like, there was one of the many Stan

Bush interviews I've done over the years where

he basically just pulled over the side of the

road, and it wasn't exactly great cell phone

service, but it worked. You know, and that's

X number of years ago, you know, like I said

the Kevin Connery interview was 2012 and I I

leveled that you know, I cut out basically where

He stops talking about the LA run the LA fire

the fires in LA from 92 and Then I asked and

then I say to him and then you did some way So

it starts with me saying and then you did some

you know, you had some volunteer work, you know

During 9 11, he's like, oh, you want me to tell

that story? I'm like, sure, if you want to tell

it like that audio, that clip. The original interview

does not sound bad, but it could sound better.

Mm hmm. But back then. I was a dumbass, you know,

but I've learned and I, you know, I use level

later, too, and I use all this other stuff now

and I try my best to get get. audio to be the

best it can be. Hence why I end up spending two

like this episode here. This episode may only

be an hour and something or whatever. Depending

on if I edit it, you edit it, whatever. It doesn't

matter. If I edit it, it'll probably take me

two and a half hours for an hour and a half worth

of audio. And that's fine. You know, whatever.

That's what it takes. That's what it takes to

make it sound like. I'm not going to sit here

and put out bad sound anymore. I just can't.

I get it. I just cannot. I mean, I'm not like.

I'm not super like like I said, as long as it's

clear, as long as there's nothing in the like,

as long as there's no fan noise or as long as

there's no this or no that or whatever. You know

fine as long as people can hear our voices Clearly

and the voices are leveled then it's good Mm

-hmm. I Don't know man. It's just it's a process

and it's a thing where you know I have out of

all of us that do GCR in content between me you

optimus solo pecan corn Michael And most of the

time, Pete Cronko and Michael, you know, don't

get me wrong. I'm sure he could do what we do,

but I just have him show up and talk. And then,

you know, we have a blast doing it. I have a

blast with everybody that I podcast with no matter

who it is and no matter what the situation is.

You know, so the way I approach people now is

like. I have this podcast network that has been

going strong for 12 and a half, almost 13 years

now. I have all these tools to get this edited,

recorded, edited, and online without you having

to do, that's why I'm doing the origins things

because I, you know, let's just say five, six,

seven years ago, I only wanted to talk to say

you or Michael Powers or Optimus Solo or whomever.

I wanted our little circle. Seven years later,

you know fast forward to current day and maybe

it's the fact that I didn't get a chance except

for a few times in 2020 to actually podcast because

my computer was in a storage unit at the time

and that's neither here nor there at this point

but 2020 was my lowest content year and I was

actually planning on it being my highest kind

of thing so for me now it's like I want to talk

to the people. If they're interested in toys,

I got 42 questions for you. It's going to be

a blast. If they're interested in comics or cartoons

or Masters the Universe or Transformers, we've

got origins for everything at this point. And

I just enjoy doing it. Like I've been we've been

reviewing stuff so long and I love doing the

review shows. I love talking about the cartoons

and comics and all of that. But man, there was

a point there somewhere between the end of 2019

and when I got the computer out of storage in

late 2020 There was a point where I'm like I

need to switch I need to do something with the

podcasting that's Still doing the shows that

I'm doing but it's a different way of doing them.

You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, I totally

get that Kind of like a refresher course kind

of thing So yeah podcast editing folks if you

are listening to this episode of altered geek

Let us know if you are a podcast producer what

your process is Please don't be a dumbass like

me and sit at your computer for 13 and a half

hours Because you're gonna have physical problems

afterwards trust me To moss Such an old joke.

Yes. Yes it is. I fight channel days Yep. But

it's much better in Beast Wars Megatron's voice.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I enjoy it. So, yeah, I yeah,

just as far as editing, though, it's it's a process.

I'm still currently trying to learn how to add

effects to Adobe. Mm hmm. because I've tried

the the methods that I've read. I don't see a

way to add them. So I'm still I'm still trying

to figure that out. But yeah. It's it's a process,

but yeah, there's there's a nice podcast. Podcast

host or podcast voice. effect that you can add

to your tracks, which is very useful for voiceover.

Is it auto cleans up at auto levels at auto?

Yeah, it just does everything. It's everything.

Yeah. So, yeah, I'm I'm still trying to figure

out how to add it from one machine to another.

So, but yeah, it does all the it does all the

help. Cool. So. Yeah, anyways, so I hope people

weren't totally bored. Yeah, I hope I didn't

put anybody to sleep because I think I talked

a hell of a lot more on this episode than most.

Would be interested to hear what people think

and how they what they think of the the programming.

I know that the top 100 is like our best of the

best. And sometimes I put effort into this and

sometimes I don't. It just kind of depends on

the week and how much it honestly just depends

on how much crap I've got going on in my normal

life. So, yeah, and not. And honestly, that's

why folks that Altered Geek has had only like

two episodes in the last two or three months

is because you've been really busy with your

day job kind of thing, because as you've already

said. you are doing voice acting, producing and

all of that with. Yeah, I didn't realize how

busy that gets until I was doing it. And then

now I'm like, I just want to rest and watch Netflix.

You just want to Netflix and chill, huh? Yeah,

I just want to watch Netflix. I don't even care.

Like, I just cry. I'm like, I just want to. Go

to sleep. But, yeah, I don't know. It's just

it's one of those things. So I hope everybody's

enjoyed this episode. Let us know what you want

us to talk about next time. I have some ideas,

but again, it just it depends on time. So sound

off on the comments part of the website and get

cast radio dot com. And until next time, get

altered, get geeky with the Altered Geeks.
