The 360 Degrees Of GeekCast Radio!

00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:03.700
Hello, Nets! This is Jesse from Rock Sugar, and

00:00:03.700 –> 00:00:05.540
you’re listening to the Geek Cats Radio Network.

00:00:05.799 –> 00:00:38.460
Keep it right here. Hello and welcome to the

00:00:38.460 –> 00:00:42.079
360th episode of GeekCast Radio. I am one of

00:00:42.079 –> 00:00:44.320
your hosts, TFG1Mike, and joining me as always

00:00:44.320 –> 00:00:49.259
is Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. Hello. Holy crap,

00:00:49.439 –> 00:00:52.200
360 episodes. It’s like we’ve gone in a circle

00:00:52.200 –> 00:00:54.780
or something. We’re just not talking in circles.

00:00:55.539 –> 00:00:58.280
No, that’s a completely other show that… No,

00:00:58.420 –> 00:01:01.960
no, no. No, no, no. This time around, we are

00:01:01.960 –> 00:01:04.980
taking it back around to the beginning, but not

00:01:04.980 –> 00:01:08.200
in the way you think. Because it is also going

00:01:08.200 –> 00:01:12.719
to be beyond where we’ve come from before. So

00:01:12.719 –> 00:01:17.939
this, I don’t know, I… We’ve done the, I’ve

00:01:17.939 –> 00:01:20.959
done the this is your life thing to death and

00:01:20.959 –> 00:01:26.480
blah blah blah, but… We’ve always gone back

00:01:26.480 –> 00:01:28.959
and looked at previous ideas and things we’ve

00:01:28.959 –> 00:01:31.159
done to see if we can either redo them and do

00:01:31.159 –> 00:01:35.340
them better, or… We’ve gone back and looked

00:01:35.340 –> 00:01:38.140
at ideas to see what needs an update or what

00:01:38.140 –> 00:01:43.299
could be updated to the point of what’s something

00:01:43.299 –> 00:01:46.340
new we could bring to this versus what we did

00:01:46.340 –> 00:01:51.599
X number of years ago. And the whole point, hello,

00:01:51.799 –> 00:01:56.299
360 full circle, yada, yada, yada, it’s a joke.

00:01:57.959 –> 00:02:01.719
But I went through and I… I actually went through

00:02:01.719 –> 00:02:05.159
like the first six years out of the almost 17

00:02:05.159 –> 00:02:07.500
that we’ve been online. We’re three years away

00:02:07.500 –> 00:02:14.460
from 20. God, we old. Yep, yep, yep. Yep, yep,

00:02:14.500 –> 00:02:19.659
yep. And I found a lot of things that we did

00:02:19.659 –> 00:02:23.219
in the beginning and a lot of things that we

00:02:23.219 –> 00:02:28.409
kind of started as staples that. Some get a lot

00:02:28.409 –> 00:02:31.210
of episodes. Some only got a few episodes. And

00:02:31.210 –> 00:02:33.810
then other things were just kind of one and done.

00:02:33.969 –> 00:02:38.289
Some things have stuck around. Some things haven’t.

00:02:38.449 –> 00:02:40.650
And we’re just going to kind of go through those.

00:02:40.750 –> 00:02:43.469
What were your initial reactions when I sent

00:02:43.469 –> 00:02:46.430
you this whole thing? I was like, what the heck

00:02:46.430 –> 00:02:49.789
is he sending me? That’s you. Well, I mean, that’s

00:02:49.789 –> 00:02:54.250
your usual reaction. I mean, that is. But I was

00:02:54.250 –> 00:02:57.560
like, what? What are we doing? Like, are we doing

00:02:57.560 –> 00:03:00.719
a retrospective? It’s kind of. That’s kind of

00:03:00.719 –> 00:03:03.919
what it is. Like, the Geek Top 50, we haven’t

00:03:03.919 –> 00:03:06.979
done a Geek Top 50 on here in forever. Like,

00:03:06.979 –> 00:03:09.460
we’ve done, we’ve got, we’ll talk about this

00:03:09.460 –> 00:03:11.419
a little later, closer to the end of the show,

00:03:11.560 –> 00:03:14.400
because that’s what will be next after this.

00:03:14.479 –> 00:03:17.159
But we’ve got the Top 100s and things like that.

00:03:17.259 –> 00:03:21.500
But listening back to that Geek Top 50, I don’t

00:03:21.500 –> 00:03:26.099
know how we got through GCR Episode 5. I don’t

00:03:26.099 –> 00:03:29.719
know. how we got through that. There’s a lot

00:03:29.719 –> 00:03:31.900
of stuff. I don’t know how we got through. Well,

00:03:32.000 –> 00:03:34.860
yeah, but, uh, but that’s something we could

00:03:34.860 –> 00:03:41.599
possibly revisit. And then we started the weird.

00:03:42.860 –> 00:03:45.659
We started the year in review series, which we

00:03:45.659 –> 00:03:47.360
will talk about a little bit later. But we started

00:03:47.360 –> 00:03:50.259
that with by doing a decade in review, because

00:03:50.259 –> 00:03:53.620
by the time when we started that, it was 2009

00:03:53.620 –> 00:03:56.699
going into 2010. So we started year in review

00:03:56.699 –> 00:04:00.419
as decade in review because we started that in

00:04:00.419 –> 00:04:03.819
2010. And Mike Powers was on that episode with

00:04:03.819 –> 00:04:08.400
us. I forgot he was on that with us. There’s

00:04:08.400 –> 00:04:11.370
a lot of stuff I’ve forgotten. Well, yeah. Are

00:04:11.370 –> 00:04:14.430
you going to say that with everything here? I

00:04:14.430 –> 00:04:16.810
mean, yeah, but I mean, there’s some stuff I

00:04:16.810 –> 00:04:19.970
remember. Yeah, there’s stuff I wasn’t even present

00:04:19.970 –> 00:04:23.730
for, like the Maurice LaMarche. OK, yes, you

00:04:23.730 –> 00:04:25.829
weren’t present for that. The only reason why

00:04:25.829 –> 00:04:28.550
I saw the aftermath, though, that’s that’s the

00:04:28.550 –> 00:04:31.029
point. That’s why you’re here. That’s why it’s

00:04:31.029 –> 00:04:34.029
there. So the Maurice LaMarche interview that

00:04:34.029 –> 00:04:37.970
he’s referring to, folks, is that was a ToonCast

00:04:37.970 –> 00:04:41.629
interview that Optimus Solo and I did. And the

00:04:41.629 –> 00:04:44.189
only reason why I’m bringing it up is because

00:04:44.189 –> 00:04:48.269
it literally launched us into the stratosphere

00:04:48.269 –> 00:04:51.629
because that was the first time that we really

00:04:51.629 –> 00:04:58.589
got some notoriety as a network. Whoops. We didn’t

00:04:58.589 –> 00:05:03.449
mean for that to happen. In the ToonCast interview

00:05:03.449 –> 00:05:08.029
questions for voice actors, there’s a question

00:05:08.029 –> 00:05:13.129
about what is your favorite type of voice acting

00:05:13.129 –> 00:05:17.189
to do? Because there, as most people may or may

00:05:17.189 –> 00:05:20.550
not know, there’s multiple types. There’s animation,

00:05:21.050 –> 00:05:23.870
there’s video games, there’s commercial voice

00:05:23.870 –> 00:05:28.310
over stuff, there’s narration, there’s all kinds

00:05:28.310 –> 00:05:31.490
of stuff. And in that interview, I think it was

00:05:31.490 –> 00:05:34.930
Optimus that asked him that question, and he

00:05:34.930 –> 00:05:37.449
said something to the effect of, oh, you know,

00:05:37.470 –> 00:05:39.649
the funny thing about video games is it’s you

00:05:39.649 –> 00:05:43.709
and yourself and your voices in your head all

00:05:43.709 –> 00:05:48.689
just in a room in one booth by yourself. He goes,

00:05:48.750 –> 00:05:52.629
oh, yeah, I just got out of a session for playing

00:05:52.629 –> 00:05:59.079
Mr. Freeze, and literally my jaw dropped. onto

00:05:59.079 –> 00:06:02.720
the like hit hit my microphone dropped onto the

00:06:02.720 –> 00:06:05.079
floor hit my keyboard on the way down to the

00:06:05.079 –> 00:06:10.279
floor oh wait what huh only thing i could come

00:06:10.279 –> 00:06:14.120
back with besides what huh was could you give

00:06:14.120 –> 00:06:18.000
us a sample oh no sorry i signed uh da da da

00:06:18.000 –> 00:06:20.019
da da nda and all this and everything else i’m

00:06:20.019 –> 00:06:22.360
like oh crap well if he signed an nda can we

00:06:22.360 –> 00:06:29.670
actually you know Yeah, that you actually said

00:06:29.670 –> 00:06:32.290
that. Obviously, there’s lots of different types

00:06:32.290 –> 00:06:35.110
of voice work. Which do you prefer the most out

00:06:35.110 –> 00:06:38.949
of cartoons, commercials, movies, video games,

00:06:39.170 –> 00:06:42.430
or anything else? Well, I mean, you know, each

00:06:42.430 –> 00:06:46.629
is its own animal. So even though you’re in all

00:06:46.629 –> 00:06:49.189
those situations, you’re behind a microphone

00:06:49.189 –> 00:06:51.550
with carpeting on the wall. Video games is hard

00:06:51.550 –> 00:06:53.790
work, I’ll say that. I’ve only done a handful,

00:06:53.910 –> 00:06:55.970
and I’m very lucky right now. I’m about to go

00:06:55.970 –> 00:07:00.250
in and do Mr. Freeze for Arkham Asylum 2. And,

00:07:00.470 –> 00:07:05.709
you know, that one, games can be a tough gig

00:07:05.709 –> 00:07:07.310
because you’ve got, you know, basically three

00:07:07.310 –> 00:07:10.529
phone books full of pages of dialogue, half of

00:07:10.529 –> 00:07:14.850
which are you dying in various situations and

00:07:14.850 –> 00:07:17.069
length levels of pain. So, you know, it can really

00:07:17.069 –> 00:07:18.870
be a workout for the voice. It can really be

00:07:18.870 –> 00:07:22.629
a part. But, you know, then you know your kid

00:07:22.629 –> 00:07:24.129
thinks you’re cool because you’re in the latest

00:07:24.129 –> 00:07:28.970
Batman game. Right. That’s the tradeoff. Can

00:07:28.970 –> 00:07:31.529
you give us a little bit of Mr. Freeze’s voice?

00:07:31.649 –> 00:07:33.569
I haven’t had a chance to play Arkham Asylum

00:07:33.569 –> 00:07:36.550
yet. He’s not in Arkham Asylum. He’s only in

00:07:36.550 –> 00:07:39.850
Arkham Asylum 2. Oh. To tell you the truth, I

00:07:39.850 –> 00:07:42.649
think contractually I can’t. I’ve got to keep

00:07:42.649 –> 00:07:47.209
it under wraps. Okay. Okay. Yeah, but he’s out

00:07:47.209 –> 00:07:52.439
for… for blood right now, because I can’t tell

00:07:52.439 –> 00:07:55.139
you the situation, but he’s actually a somewhat

00:07:55.139 –> 00:07:57.519
sympathetic character within the framework of

00:07:57.519 –> 00:08:01.839
the game. So, we get through the rest of the

00:08:01.839 –> 00:08:04.439
questions, we get to the end of the interview,

00:08:04.620 –> 00:08:09.420
and we asked him, no, we didn’t ask him, but

00:08:09.420 –> 00:08:11.819
he never said anything to us. We said, thank

00:08:11.819 –> 00:08:14.060
you, thank you so much, Mr. LaMarche, thank you

00:08:14.060 –> 00:08:17.980
for the time. The interview will be up this Friday.

00:08:18.750 –> 00:08:22.189
On the website, we will send your manager the

00:08:22.189 –> 00:08:26.350
link or whatever it was. And we hope to have

00:08:26.350 –> 00:08:28.550
you on in the future. We’ve never had him on

00:08:28.550 –> 00:08:32.629
since, unfortunately. And I don’t think that’s

00:08:32.629 –> 00:08:36.389
because of this thing or any ill will either

00:08:36.389 –> 00:08:40.470
way, whatever. So I interviewed, I, I edited

00:08:40.470 –> 00:08:43.169
that because by this time I was editing the podcasts

00:08:43.169 –> 00:08:47.269
and I edited that interview so fast. We had that

00:08:47.269 –> 00:08:51.309
online so fast and it wasn’t like, like I didn’t

00:08:51.309 –> 00:08:54.600
do anything special. I didn’t. In the promotion

00:08:54.600 –> 00:08:58.799
of it, I didn’t say, oh, my God, voice actor

00:08:58.799 –> 00:09:02.320
Maurice LaMarche breaks news of Batman villain

00:09:02.320 –> 00:09:05.279
voiceover. I didn’t do any of that. I just said,

00:09:05.399 –> 00:09:09.700
here’s the normal thing I usually say. Here’s.

00:09:10.480 –> 00:09:13.759
The latest ToonCast interview with voice actor

00:09:13.759 –> 00:09:17.100
Maurice LaMarche, hosted by myself and Optimus

00:09:17.100 –> 00:09:20.019
Solo, only on the GeekCast radio network, or

00:09:20.019 –> 00:09:22.000
whatever it was that I normally say, or whatever

00:09:22.000 –> 00:09:25.440
the normal text is that I use when I do episode

00:09:25.440 –> 00:09:30.059
promotion. Some unknown website picked it up.

00:09:30.080 –> 00:09:31.879
Don’t even know what the unknown website was.

00:09:32.399 –> 00:09:37.639
IGN picked it up. Keep in mind, folks. I did

00:09:37.639 –> 00:09:40.320
all of this. I got it online. I did the promotion.

00:09:40.600 –> 00:09:43.899
At the time, my mom and I went out grocery shopping.

00:09:44.320 –> 00:09:47.440
All of a sudden, I get like several hundred messages

00:09:47.440 –> 00:09:50.519
from you. And then you actually called me on

00:09:50.519 –> 00:09:54.419
my phone. And I’m like, wow, what did I do? You’re

00:09:54.419 –> 00:09:56.379
like, I don’t know. What did you do? I’m like,

00:09:56.440 –> 00:09:58.759
I don’t know. We recorded an interview with a

00:09:58.759 –> 00:10:02.080
voice actor. We put it online. This is all. You’re

00:10:02.080 –> 00:10:05.460
like, yeah, well. the website’s about to explode.

00:10:05.720 –> 00:10:07.240
What’d you do? I’m like, I don’t know. We asked

00:10:07.240 –> 00:10:09.299
Maurice Lamarche a question and he gave us an

00:10:09.299 –> 00:10:12.720
answer about him voicing Mr. Freeze in Arkham

00:10:12.720 –> 00:10:15.919
city. He go, you’re like, yeah, nobody knew that.

00:10:15.980 –> 00:10:21.700
I’m like, good for us. We got an exclusive. Yeah,

00:10:21.759 –> 00:10:26.279
it went viral. And so we had it on like IGN,

00:10:26.279 –> 00:10:31.120
Kotaku gaming target and gadget joystick and

00:10:31.120 –> 00:10:35.649
like a million other places. Yep. But yeah, but

00:10:35.649 –> 00:10:38.289
when, when, when IGN picked it up, it was like,

00:10:38.350 –> 00:10:44.570
Oh, spit. So that’s why that’s here is because

00:10:44.570 –> 00:10:48.629
of your reaction to, cause you didn’t know. It’s

00:10:48.629 –> 00:10:53.090
still online with IGN, uh, and gadget and Kotaku

00:10:53.090 –> 00:10:57.049
there. Oh, gadget still has it. Nice. Uh, Kotaku

00:10:57.049 –> 00:11:03.029
and joystick no longer exist. So their links

00:11:03.029 –> 00:11:06.190
are gone. Gadget still has it, and Gaming Target

00:11:06.190 –> 00:11:09.350
still has it. Nice. Very cool. And I think Gaming

00:11:09.350 –> 00:11:13.190
Target was where I saw it first. Oh, cool. Because

00:11:13.190 –> 00:11:16.289
somehow it got tagged or something. I don’t know.

00:11:16.370 –> 00:11:18.610
But it says, in addition to the Joker or Harley

00:11:18.610 –> 00:11:21.289
Quinn, two more villains have been unearthed

00:11:21.289 –> 00:11:23.850
for the upcoming Batman Arkham Asylum 2 Rocksteady

00:11:23.850 –> 00:11:27.250
sequel to their excellent 2009 game. Adaptation

00:11:27.250 –> 00:11:29.509
of the Batman will be adding Mr. Freeze and Talia

00:11:29.509 –> 00:11:32.620
Al Ghul. Mr. Freeze will be played by everyone’s

00:11:32.620 –> 00:11:35.100
favorite Orson Welles impersonator, Maurice LaMarche,

00:11:35.120 –> 00:11:36.840
best known as The Brain from Pinky and the Brain,

00:11:36.960 –> 00:11:39.419
segments of Animaniacs. LaMarche definitely has

00:11:39.419 –> 00:11:42.679
the gravitas needed, blah, blah, blah. He revealed

00:11:42.679 –> 00:11:46.179
his role in the game during an interview with

00:11:46.179 –> 00:11:54.860
the Geekcast radio network. Nice. Yeah, and then

00:11:54.860 –> 00:12:00.820
everybody’s source gaming target. So Engadget

00:12:00.820 –> 00:12:06.700
sourced them. Right. And Talia Stanekatic leaked

00:12:06.700 –> 00:12:12.419
hers on Twitter by accident. Yeah. But yeah.

00:12:13.600 –> 00:12:18.759
And then it’s funny because Engadget’s link to

00:12:18.759 –> 00:12:25.220
it goes to our old slash pod slash Tooncast slash.

00:12:25.620 –> 00:12:31.509
Oh, nice. That’s funny. Yeah. So I’m going to

00:12:31.509 –> 00:12:34.830
fix those links, but, um, cause I can do that

00:12:34.830 –> 00:12:38.389
in the backend, but, uh, and then IGN just hot

00:12:38.389 –> 00:12:41.929
link directly to geekcastradio .com. Yeah, that’s

00:12:41.929 –> 00:12:45.730
fine. Whatever. But I still find it humorous.

00:12:46.570 –> 00:12:52.129
Yeah. Well, it’s like, Hey, you know, Oh man,

00:12:52.269 –> 00:12:54.289
we gotta, we gotta find something else to make

00:12:54.289 –> 00:12:58.110
us go viral here in 2026. But no, that was, and

00:12:58.110 –> 00:13:03.080
just, even if that didn’t happen oh man just

00:13:03.080 –> 00:13:06.840
listening to that oh god just just having the

00:13:06.840 –> 00:13:09.539
experience of getting to talk to him was so cool

00:13:09.539 –> 00:13:12.259
again maurice lamar sure you’re always welcome

00:13:12.259 –> 00:13:14.519
here at the geekcast radio network anytime you

00:13:14.519 –> 00:13:20.399
want to come back We did spotlight William Shatner.

00:13:20.580 –> 00:13:22.559
And the reason why I wanted to bring this up

00:13:22.559 –> 00:13:24.860
is this is one of those full circle moments is

00:13:24.860 –> 00:13:26.600
because you and I have been talking about doing,

00:13:26.639 –> 00:13:28.620
bringing back actor spotlight, but we’re going

00:13:28.620 –> 00:13:32.840
to do it on studio 2009 where we do other actors

00:13:32.840 –> 00:13:35.639
spotlights. So that’s why I brought that up.

00:13:35.740 –> 00:13:40.779
The theater is 3d IMAX and CGI episode. That

00:13:40.779 –> 00:13:44.600
was, I brought that one because I listened to

00:13:44.600 –> 00:13:48.830
part of that and I’m like, Yeah, I’m just going

00:13:48.830 –> 00:13:51.990
to sit here at home on my butt and watch 4K discs

00:13:51.990 –> 00:13:57.789
on my 55 -inch television. Because, first of

00:13:57.789 –> 00:14:01.190
all, let me get the 3D crap out of the way. I

00:14:01.190 –> 00:14:05.049
have never, even when I was a child in the 80s,

00:14:05.070 –> 00:14:09.809
I went to several 3D movies in the 80s as a kid.

00:14:09.870 –> 00:14:14.929
I hate 3D glasses. Even back then, I literally,

00:14:14.990 –> 00:14:19.470
literally had a huge noggin, had a huge head.

00:14:19.509 –> 00:14:23.509
My head circumference is very large and I hated

00:14:23.509 –> 00:14:25.850
wearing 3D glasses. They were so uncomfortable

00:14:25.850 –> 00:14:31.070
back then. Even now, I tried it back when we

00:14:31.070 –> 00:14:34.610
did this episode. I actually went to one 3D movie.

00:14:34.730 –> 00:14:37.370
I forget which movie it was, but I’m like, you

00:14:37.370 –> 00:14:42.019
know, I don’t need this. So thank. god 3d is

00:14:42.019 –> 00:14:48.460
kind of faded at this point in 2026 imax i liked

00:14:48.460 –> 00:14:52.340
it for what it was but again in the rising cut

00:14:52.340 –> 00:14:58.179
like every theatrical experience it’s like you

00:14:58.179 –> 00:15:02.000
can have this much experience for this much money

00:15:02.000 –> 00:15:05.259
you want more you can have it for this you can

00:15:05.259 –> 00:15:08.950
have it for this you can and it’s just like If

00:15:08.950 –> 00:15:13.429
a ticket’s going to cost me $40 to have the best

00:15:13.429 –> 00:15:18.950
viewing experience before snacks, I’m not paying

00:15:18.950 –> 00:15:26.460
$40 per person. I’m just not. I’ll just wait

00:15:26.460 –> 00:15:30.559
for the 4K disc that I can buy for the same damn

00:15:30.559 –> 00:15:33.659
price. And I know a lot of people out there are

00:15:33.659 –> 00:15:37.539
complaining about the prices for Blu -rays and

00:15:37.539 –> 00:15:43.120
4K discs now. I’ve bought several recently over

00:15:43.120 –> 00:15:45.820
the last, I don’t know, three, four, five, six,

00:15:45.960 –> 00:15:47.879
seven, eight months lately, the last year or

00:15:47.879 –> 00:15:53.370
so. I think the most I’ve spent on a 4K disc

00:15:53.370 –> 00:15:58.210
is probably $45, $50, but that was because it

00:15:58.210 –> 00:16:04.169
was a special edition of whatever it was. I don’t

00:16:04.169 –> 00:16:06.850
mind paying that price because, number one, like

00:16:06.850 –> 00:16:09.990
I said, it was a special edition, but you’re

00:16:09.990 –> 00:16:12.779
essentially getting two discs in that. you’re

00:16:12.779 –> 00:16:15.539
getting the 4k disc and you’re getting the Blu

00:16:15.539 –> 00:16:18.139
-ray disc. So you, whether you have a 4k, whatever,

00:16:18.360 –> 00:16:21.460
or if you don’t, you just have Blu -ray like,

00:16:21.519 –> 00:16:25.519
I don’t mind doing that. So yeah. And the CGI

00:16:25.519 –> 00:16:28.720
of it all, there’s always going to be CGI. I

00:16:28.720 –> 00:16:33.700
mean, there’s now AI CGI. So it’s like, I don’t

00:16:33.700 –> 00:16:44.700
know. Thoughts. No, I mean, I, I just saw a report

00:16:44.700 –> 00:16:50.519
about movie theaters and the fact that under

00:16:50.519 –> 00:16:54.320
50 % of grown adults actually go to the theater

00:16:54.320 –> 00:16:59.980
anymore, which I kind of get. Like, I went to

00:16:59.980 –> 00:17:02.059
the theater to see a movie a couple weeks ago,

00:17:02.159 –> 00:17:07.220
and it was, like, based on a true story type

00:17:07.220 –> 00:17:11.579
thing. And the movie theater was pretty stinking

00:17:11.579 –> 00:17:14.730
dead. I mean, we got them all over the place

00:17:14.730 –> 00:17:16.670
and a lot of them feed, you know, like, I mean,

00:17:16.670 –> 00:17:18.710
and they were they were pretty stinking dead.

00:17:18.829 –> 00:17:21.569
So I don’t know. Like, I don’t I don’t see the

00:17:21.569 –> 00:17:23.990
big spectacle and going anymore. Like, I like.

00:17:25.650 –> 00:17:28.190
I like seeing the stuff as soon as it comes out,

00:17:28.250 –> 00:17:30.329
and I like seeing it in the big screen and the

00:17:30.329 –> 00:17:32.950
better, you know, having the movie theater popcorn

00:17:32.950 –> 00:17:36.829
and all that, the experience of it. Yeah. But

00:17:36.829 –> 00:17:39.670
my schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of that.

00:17:40.210 –> 00:17:43.490
Yeah. So therefore I never see anything in the

00:17:43.490 –> 00:17:45.130
theater unless it’s like something I go with

00:17:45.130 –> 00:17:48.390
the family for. And there’s a lot of stuff that

00:17:48.390 –> 00:17:50.230
I would probably see that they wouldn’t. So,

00:17:50.230 –> 00:17:54.529
uh, and, and also a lot of the stuff, like I,

00:17:54.589 –> 00:17:57.450
I gotta be honest, I’m going back with nostalgia.

00:17:57.450 –> 00:18:00.109
So like, I’m not even like, I never got into

00:18:00.109 –> 00:18:02.210
the 3d thing. Like I always thought it was stupid.

00:18:02.589 –> 00:18:05.630
Yeah. Like I correct me if I’m wrong. Didn’t

00:18:05.630 –> 00:18:08.190
avatar the first one have that? I think, but

00:18:08.190 –> 00:18:11.019
I would have to look it up. I know that it was

00:18:11.019 –> 00:18:13.119
such a huge thing when it came out, like the

00:18:13.119 –> 00:18:15.980
CGI. And I think it was like IMAX 3D or something.

00:18:16.059 –> 00:18:19.079
And it was it was Avatar. And yeah, I remember

00:18:19.079 –> 00:18:21.180
when it came out because Star Trek 2009 came

00:18:21.180 –> 00:18:24.900
around the same time. And I saw Star Trek 2009

00:18:24.900 –> 00:18:28.720
and IMAX and it was like, I mean, it was kind

00:18:28.720 –> 00:18:30.319
of dead because it was the middle of the day.

00:18:30.660 –> 00:18:34.299
Yeah. But I’d seen plenty of other things. You

00:18:34.299 –> 00:18:36.220
go to a middle -of -the -day matinee, it’s always

00:18:36.220 –> 00:18:38.400
going to be mostly dead because it’s the middle

00:18:38.400 –> 00:18:41.779
of the day and everybody else is at work. I remember

00:18:41.779 –> 00:18:44.960
seeing that exact theater, though, and they had

00:18:44.960 –> 00:18:47.599
cars parked even on the grass up to the road

00:18:47.599 –> 00:18:50.180
because there was nowhere to park just to see

00:18:50.180 –> 00:18:52.420
that stupid Avatar movie. And I was just like,

00:18:52.559 –> 00:18:59.720
uh, unobtainium. I still think that franchise

00:18:59.720 –> 00:19:04.160
is stupid. I just don’t have any, like, I’ve

00:19:04.160 –> 00:19:07.140
seen the trailers to every single film in that

00:19:07.140 –> 00:19:12.740
franchise. And I, like, I’ve said this on every

00:19:12.740 –> 00:19:15.240
episode we’ve ever done talking about movies.

00:19:15.819 –> 00:19:18.779
The whole point of trailers is it’s marketing,

00:19:18.940 –> 00:19:23.180
whether you want to watch it or not. And none

00:19:23.180 –> 00:19:25.880
of those trailers have anything in them. None

00:19:25.880 –> 00:19:28.180
of those movies have anything in them that’s

00:19:28.180 –> 00:19:32.200
for me. And I just avoid it. I don’t have anything

00:19:32.200 –> 00:19:34.160
negative to say about it cause I’ve never seen

00:19:34.160 –> 00:19:37.200
it. So it’s like, I just avoid it like the plague.

00:19:38.779 –> 00:19:42.960
Yeah. So anyways, like I’ve seen it and honestly,

00:19:43.079 –> 00:19:50.480
like I just, yeah, but I like the IMAX experience.

00:19:50.720 –> 00:19:53.700
I like, you know, I like movies that have some

00:19:53.700 –> 00:19:57.799
CGI. I don’t like all of it. Yeah. And I, I do

00:19:57.799 –> 00:20:00.160
like the theaters. However, like I just, I don’t,

00:20:01.390 –> 00:20:04.009
I think that a lot of this stuff, like despite

00:20:04.009 –> 00:20:08.069
what everyone seems to think, I don’t think it’s

00:20:08.069 –> 00:20:11.890
going to come back. Yeah. And the thing about

00:20:11.890 –> 00:20:15.589
theaters is like everyone may or may not make

00:20:15.589 –> 00:20:20.009
this argument, but I’ve heard this argument in

00:20:20.009 –> 00:20:24.970
the past. We need the theaters because that’s

00:20:24.970 –> 00:20:29.440
what makes the movies the money. Look at the

00:20:29.440 –> 00:20:32.400
year that was when we had the thing that nobody

00:20:32.400 –> 00:20:38.740
wanted because everybody got sick and died. Everybody

00:20:38.740 –> 00:20:43.460
was at home. We had movies at home. Everybody

00:20:43.460 –> 00:20:48.119
purchased movies on Voodoo, Fandango, whatever

00:20:48.119 –> 00:20:50.480
you want to call it now. It’s Fandango now, but

00:20:50.480 –> 00:20:52.819
like everybody purchased movies or everybody

00:20:52.819 –> 00:20:57.549
rented movies or when Disney had Cruella. You

00:20:57.549 –> 00:21:00.769
had to purchase it for $30 to be able to watch

00:21:00.769 –> 00:21:03.769
Cruella. Like, everybody did whatever they had

00:21:03.769 –> 00:21:07.349
to do to watch their stuff when you could not

00:21:07.349 –> 00:21:11.910
go to a movie theater. And here we are, six,

00:21:12.069 –> 00:21:15.589
seven years later, movie industry seems to be

00:21:15.589 –> 00:21:20.609
semi -okay. We’re still getting movies. Like,

00:21:20.630 –> 00:21:24.690
not saying we don’t outright not need theaters,

00:21:24.829 –> 00:21:28.369
but we survived that. I’m sure we can survive

00:21:28.369 –> 00:21:32.089
this, like we’ve said before in the past and

00:21:32.089 –> 00:21:36.650
even in this episode. I think the novelty now,

00:21:36.910 –> 00:21:41.609
the novelty now of theaters, like 40 years ago

00:21:41.609 –> 00:21:45.250
in the 80s, 40 years ago in the 80s, 50 years

00:21:45.250 –> 00:21:48.849
ago in the 70s, you needed them back then, and

00:21:48.849 –> 00:21:51.430
you needed them in the 90s, in the early 2000s,

00:21:51.450 –> 00:21:53.990
2010s, whatever. But now, here in the middle

00:21:53.990 –> 00:21:58.579
of the 2020s? Yeah. There’s a lot of things that

00:21:58.579 –> 00:22:01.740
I’m impatient for and that I can’t wait for.

00:22:01.880 –> 00:22:05.819
But if I see a trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine

00:22:05.819 –> 00:22:08.859
2. I’m not saying that’s happening. I’m just

00:22:08.859 –> 00:22:11.440
using that as an example. Or if I see a trailer

00:22:11.440 –> 00:22:15.880
for insert movie here that I’m like, oh my God,

00:22:15.980 –> 00:22:19.180
I cannot wait for this to happen. I cannot wait

00:22:19.180 –> 00:22:21.180
to see this, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:22:21.299 –> 00:22:24.160
I’m excited for it by the trailer, but at the

00:22:24.160 –> 00:22:26.559
same time, okay, it’s going to have a theatrical

00:22:26.559 –> 00:22:30.460
run. And I love how now the marketing is exclusively

00:22:30.460 –> 00:22:34.880
in theaters. Okay, sure. Have your theatrical

00:22:34.880 –> 00:22:37.890
run. Make the money. Yes, I want the movie to

00:22:37.890 –> 00:22:39.869
make the money. Don’t get me wrong. I do want

00:22:39.869 –> 00:22:42.369
the movie to make the money. And yes, I know

00:22:42.369 –> 00:22:45.730
I’m talking in tongues over here. Brad’s probably

00:22:45.730 –> 00:22:47.849
going to notice that. And yes, Brad, I’m calling

00:22:47.849 –> 00:22:54.049
you out. Love you, Brad. Anyway, but it’s one

00:22:54.049 –> 00:22:56.890
of those things where I will have the excitement.

00:22:56.990 –> 00:23:01.130
But at the same time, I have so much excitement

00:23:01.130 –> 00:23:07.039
for a bunch of things that I will. see a news

00:23:07.039 –> 00:23:10.859
story or i’ll see somebody post hey that movie

00:23:10.859 –> 00:23:15.619
you were excited for it’s now hitting media release

00:23:15.619 –> 00:23:19.099
oh yay i can watch it at home and i don’t have

00:23:19.099 –> 00:23:23.000
to worry about which bus goes to which theater

00:23:23.000 –> 00:23:26.900
at which time and how i’m gonna get there because

00:23:26.900 –> 00:23:32.319
i don’t drive and which bus is gonna get me home

00:23:32.940 –> 00:23:35.619
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And I don’t

00:23:35.619 –> 00:23:39.660
have to worry about popcorn and all this and

00:23:39.660 –> 00:23:43.059
all that and everything else. So, yeah, like

00:23:43.059 –> 00:23:47.059
you said, nostalgia ways of looking at theaters.

00:23:47.539 –> 00:23:51.319
Absolutely love it. Modern day necessity. Not

00:23:51.319 –> 00:23:54.539
so much. Other than the fact that I want the

00:23:54.539 –> 00:23:57.539
movie to make the money. Even though I’m not

00:23:57.539 –> 00:24:00.710
giving them the money up front. Oh, boy. And

00:24:00.710 –> 00:24:04.690
I love IMAX. IMAX was always cool, but 3D is

00:24:04.690 –> 00:24:09.009
useless. I concur. Yeah. All right. Moving on.

00:24:09.069 –> 00:24:11.210
We got two spotlights here. I’m going to get

00:24:11.210 –> 00:24:14.569
the one spotlight out of the way. You, you, I

00:24:14.569 –> 00:24:16.670
don’t think, I think I’m more, I don’t know.

00:24:16.769 –> 00:24:18.710
We’ve, you and I have never really talked about

00:24:18.710 –> 00:24:23.589
this, but how music inclined are you? Like, do

00:24:23.589 –> 00:24:27.490
you listen often or like, what’s your background?

00:24:28.720 –> 00:24:35.400
So I do listen to quite a bit of music, but I

00:24:35.400 –> 00:24:40.880
don’t. So like I have a whole like plethora of

00:24:40.880 –> 00:24:44.440
like 90s and millennials, you know, nostalgia

00:24:44.440 –> 00:24:47.059
music that I listen to. I listen to a ton of

00:24:47.059 –> 00:24:49.500
Weird Al. Right. Probably more than anything

00:24:49.500 –> 00:24:54.240
else. I listen to parody music. I listen to Stan

00:24:54.240 –> 00:24:59.579
Bush or. There’s a couple of country bands. There’s

00:24:59.579 –> 00:25:01.740
a couple of, you know, Christian bands. There’s

00:25:01.740 –> 00:25:09.779
a couple of, uh, like we have our, uh, oh my,

00:25:09.920 –> 00:25:16.160
the, the ones that, uh, they do the, the mixtures

00:25:16.160 –> 00:25:21.779
of the songs. I’m blanking on the name. Oh, having

00:25:21.779 –> 00:25:25.140
me blanking on it too. Yeah. Jess Harnell’s band.

00:25:25.680 –> 00:25:28.880
Oh, rock sugar. Yeah. Rock sugar. I, yeah, I

00:25:28.880 –> 00:25:33.160
was like actor. Um, I was like, I know I can

00:25:33.160 –> 00:25:37.299
connect the dots here. Uh, but yeah, so I mean

00:25:37.299 –> 00:25:40.279
like, uh, so like I listened to them occasionally.

00:25:40.380 –> 00:25:44.019
I listened to, I mean, you know, Foo Fighters,

00:25:44.019 –> 00:25:47.200
Metallica, you know, Days of the New, Stand,

00:25:47.559 –> 00:25:51.559
Breaking Benjamin, Old Lincoln Park. disturbed

00:25:51.559 –> 00:25:55.380
you know like a lot of these older like 90s sounding

00:25:55.380 –> 00:25:57.900
bands and then there’s other ones that too that

00:25:57.900 –> 00:26:00.099
don’t have like the hard rock sound that that

00:26:00.099 –> 00:26:03.460
i’ve listened to you know so and i there was

00:26:03.460 –> 00:26:05.259
quite a few i was like i don’t i don’t even know

00:26:05.259 –> 00:26:07.539
who does the song i just i i know i like it you

00:26:07.539 –> 00:26:10.200
just like the song yeah yeah so like there was

00:26:10.200 –> 00:26:13.160
like collective soul and there was you know um

00:26:13.160 –> 00:26:18.759
i i would have to look at my my music archive

00:26:18.759 –> 00:26:22.470
but uh but yeah they’re like there there was

00:26:22.470 –> 00:26:27.289
a ton of a ton of like these old old bands and

00:26:27.289 –> 00:26:30.730
and i listened to like also you know soundtrack

00:26:30.730 –> 00:26:33.630
stuff like the spider -man one and two soundtrack

00:26:33.630 –> 00:26:36.970
transformers the movie soundtrack yeah you know

00:26:36.970 –> 00:26:39.789
and so i mean i i listened to quite a lot of

00:26:39.789 –> 00:26:44.319
music but i don’t necessarily like love music

00:26:44.319 –> 00:26:47.220
enough to like discuss a lot of it like unless

00:26:47.220 –> 00:26:49.200
it’s like a weird al like i’m i’m physically

00:26:49.200 –> 00:26:51.559
going to see weird al in concert later this year

00:26:51.559 –> 00:26:55.680
yay uh my boss bought the tickets for christmas

00:26:55.680 –> 00:26:59.200
and then my kids are going with us too um so

00:26:59.200 –> 00:27:01.220
like so like that’s that’s a highlight because

00:27:01.220 –> 00:27:03.700
i haven’t seen him since the year 2000 and like

00:27:03.700 –> 00:27:08.259
clio michigan which was like 200 person, you

00:27:08.259 –> 00:27:11.119
know, nice amphitheater. And I’m like, Oh, he’s

00:27:11.119 –> 00:27:13.400
small time here. And now he’s like playing at

00:27:13.400 –> 00:27:16.539
the red rocks and that’s right. Which is like

00:27:16.539 –> 00:27:19.559
red rocks is huge. Yeah. It’s the cream of the

00:27:19.559 –> 00:27:22.660
crop here. Um, that’s right. So, but I mean,

00:27:22.660 –> 00:27:25.019
so I listened to them. I listened to like creed,

00:27:25.019 –> 00:27:29.359
like ever clear incubus matchbox, 20, uh, sound

00:27:29.359 –> 00:27:32.039
garden, seven, Mary three, three doors down,

00:27:32.140 –> 00:27:36.589
you know, stone temple pilots. Uh, yeah like

00:27:36.589 –> 00:27:38.970
so there’s there’s a lot of like i now if you

00:27:38.970 –> 00:27:40.769
were going to do like a 90s spotlight of like

00:27:40.769 –> 00:27:42.789
touching on like some of the main radio plays

00:27:42.789 –> 00:27:45.410
of yeah these type stuff like i’d be all over

00:27:45.410 –> 00:27:47.069
that because i’m like oh i remember that one

00:27:47.069 –> 00:27:48.950
oh i remember that one oh i remember that one

00:27:48.950 –> 00:27:50.670
you know well so it’d be more it would be more

00:27:50.670 –> 00:27:53.650
fun for me in that that regard because like i

00:27:53.650 –> 00:27:55.849
literally was like one day like i’ve been watching

00:27:55.849 –> 00:28:02.670
a lot of like millennial joke uh it like reels

00:28:02.670 –> 00:28:05.730
and shorts and stuff. And I find them very funny

00:28:05.730 –> 00:28:09.369
because I am a millennial and, but I’m an elder

00:28:09.369 –> 00:28:11.269
millennial. So it’s even funnier because I’m

00:28:11.269 –> 00:28:14.309
like, I’m, I’m close enough to like Gen X that

00:28:14.309 –> 00:28:17.529
I’m not Gen X, but there’s like this weird time

00:28:17.529 –> 00:28:19.410
span that’s called Zennial. That’s kind of the

00:28:19.410 –> 00:28:24.289
mix between, um, uh, either way. Like, I love

00:28:24.289 –> 00:28:26.049
the comedy of it, but a lot of them are playing

00:28:26.049 –> 00:28:28.809
like old nineties music. And so this, that was

00:28:28.809 –> 00:28:31.569
kind of like, Oh, I remember this. Um, Yeah.

00:28:31.650 –> 00:28:33.490
And then so I started going down a rabbit hole

00:28:33.490 –> 00:28:35.769
of like, oh, that’s, you know, millennial playlist.

00:28:35.890 –> 00:28:39.049
And so then I’m seeing all these like, you know,

00:28:39.049 –> 00:28:41.309
songs that I was like, I remember this one. I

00:28:41.309 –> 00:28:43.190
didn’t know who did it, but I remember this one,

00:28:43.390 –> 00:28:47.509
you know, you know, Red Hot Chili Peppers and,

00:28:47.569 –> 00:28:49.930
you know, stuff, all these different bands that

00:28:49.930 –> 00:28:52.549
like some of them Weird Al’s copied. So yeah,

00:28:52.569 –> 00:28:54.490
funnier there. But then like some of them are

00:28:54.490 –> 00:28:58.700
just, you know. uh you know pearl jam and some

00:28:58.700 –> 00:29:00.299
other stuff my boss talks about some of these

00:29:00.299 –> 00:29:03.440
bands too but uh And I’ve I’ve just had a lot

00:29:03.440 –> 00:29:06.440
of fun looking them up and listening and kind

00:29:06.440 –> 00:29:08.519
of going, oh, yeah, these are, you know, that’s

00:29:08.519 –> 00:29:10.720
great. And then some of them I’m like, oh, yeah,

00:29:10.740 –> 00:29:12.660
these were songs I remember hearing back in that

00:29:12.660 –> 00:29:17.319
decade. And I absolutely despise them. There’s

00:29:17.319 –> 00:29:22.099
quite a few on both sides. So it’s like so I

00:29:22.099 –> 00:29:23.839
mean, yeah, I mean, I do get into music. I just

00:29:23.839 –> 00:29:26.180
I don’t I think that it has to like resonate

00:29:26.180 –> 00:29:28.880
or has to bring back some kind of a memory for

00:29:28.880 –> 00:29:33.309
me to care. Yeah. And like for me, like parodies,

00:29:33.309 –> 00:29:38.130
you know, Bob Rivers, Weird Al. Twisted Christmas.

00:29:39.130 –> 00:29:43.569
Oh, yeah. So, I mean, like any any time I have

00:29:43.569 –> 00:29:45.829
those type of situations, like I used to listen

00:29:45.829 –> 00:29:48.630
to Bob and Tom show when I was growing up and

00:29:48.630 –> 00:29:50.950
they used to have like either some of the Bob

00:29:50.950 –> 00:29:52.789
Rivers stuff or they used to have like parody

00:29:52.789 –> 00:29:55.009
music on there or things that they made up or,

00:29:55.029 –> 00:29:59.670
you know, just funny songs. And. I remember sitting

00:29:59.670 –> 00:30:03.250
there with an audio cassette recording it. Yeah,

00:30:03.250 –> 00:30:06.630
I’ll have to check my files. But I have both

00:30:06.630 –> 00:30:10.269
CDs. I know I have both physical copies of the

00:30:10.269 –> 00:30:13.369
CDs. I have Twisted Christmas and I have more

00:30:13.369 –> 00:30:16.069
Twisted Christmas. There were two Twisted Christmas

00:30:16.069 –> 00:30:19.609
CDs from Bob Rivers. So I’ll have to check my

00:30:19.609 –> 00:30:24.369
actual digital files. But if I don’t have them

00:30:24.369 –> 00:30:27.769
already on my computer, I’ll… We’ll figure

00:30:27.769 –> 00:30:30.569
that out later. But yeah, no, Bob River is absolutely

00:30:30.569 –> 00:30:33.910
hilarious. The restroom door said gentlemen.

00:30:35.950 –> 00:30:39.130
Yeah. We’re chipmunks roasting on an open fire.

00:30:39.369 –> 00:30:45.529
Yeah. I have a disc somewhere like of like and

00:30:45.529 –> 00:30:48.529
they’re just ones that I remember. And I can

00:30:48.529 –> 00:30:51.609
I can play my hand here. Back when LimeWire and

00:30:51.609 –> 00:30:55.390
Kazaa were a thing. Oh, yeah. I ripped a lot

00:30:55.390 –> 00:30:58.150
of these. Some of them I still have. Some of

00:30:58.150 –> 00:31:00.589
them don’t. Some of them I’ve like I’ve actually

00:31:00.589 –> 00:31:03.170
bought CDs of over the years or like the digital,

00:31:03.269 –> 00:31:06.609
you know, CD stuff. But I, you know, I had fun

00:31:06.609 –> 00:31:09.430
getting all of these different songs, you know,

00:31:09.430 –> 00:31:12.150
had Bob and Tom music, you know, wiper blades

00:31:12.150 –> 00:31:16.450
and trauma to the groin and. you know, all these

00:31:16.450 –> 00:31:18.690
funny songs. So like that, that’s always kind

00:31:18.690 –> 00:31:20.829
of resonated, resonated with me. Is it like,

00:31:20.869 –> 00:31:23.069
is it one that, that makes me laugh or is it

00:31:23.069 –> 00:31:25.970
one that I would sing to at the top of my lungs

00:31:25.970 –> 00:31:32.069
in my car? Yep. Um, when I was a teenager and

00:31:32.069 –> 00:31:36.009
driving like a moron, like that’s, that’s literally

00:31:36.009 –> 00:31:38.730
where it goes. Like that’s like, that’s where

00:31:38.730 –> 00:31:41.420
it goes. That’s right. So the reason why I bring

00:31:41.420 –> 00:31:47.519
all of this up is because in 2011, from 2011

00:31:47.519 –> 00:31:52.319
to 2012, we did a giant music spotlight that

00:31:52.319 –> 00:31:57.460
ran from GCR episode 30 all the way up to 35

00:31:57.460 –> 00:32:02.380
with special episodes in between there. And two

00:32:02.380 –> 00:32:05.099
that you should check out. I don’t think you

00:32:05.099 –> 00:32:07.700
were on these. I’m actually. Pretty damn sure

00:32:07.700 –> 00:32:09.880
you weren’t. I know you weren’t on one of them

00:32:09.880 –> 00:32:12.099
because I just looked at it. And I’m looking

00:32:12.099 –> 00:32:13.680
to see if you were on the other one. I don’t

00:32:13.680 –> 00:32:17.759
think you were. No, it was me, JT, and Double

00:32:17.759 –> 00:32:21.779
D. So me, JT, and Double D, David, Double D,

00:32:21.819 –> 00:32:26.880
Dennis, we did do GCR episode 32, Music Spotlight,

00:32:27.000 –> 00:32:29.500
the 90s. And then the next episode, we did a

00:32:29.500 –> 00:32:33.299
special episode, Top 10 Artists or Bands of the

00:32:33.299 –> 00:32:38.650
90s. send you those links off when we’re done

00:32:38.650 –> 00:32:41.369
with the show and you can go back and listen

00:32:41.369 –> 00:32:44.470
to those and maybe leave comments on geekastro

00:32:44.470 –> 00:32:47.250
.com to let us know if we were right or not,

00:32:47.390 –> 00:32:51.089
even though it’s been, Oh God, 2012 is when we

00:32:51.089 –> 00:32:55.750
released those. But yeah, that’s cause. So when

00:32:55.750 –> 00:33:00.849
we did that back in 20, let me, now that I revealed

00:33:00.849 –> 00:33:02.910
those two episodes, I can actually go to this

00:33:02.910 –> 00:33:05.190
third page and see when this actually started.

00:33:06.139 –> 00:33:09.099
Yeah. Geek cast radio, episode 30 music spotlight

00:33:09.099 –> 00:33:11.559
sixties and seventies that first aired November

00:33:11.559 –> 00:33:19.019
1st, 2011. So in 2011, I know exactly where I

00:33:19.019 –> 00:33:22.299
was. I was at the point where people kept confusing

00:33:22.299 –> 00:33:26.079
us with an actual radio station that played actual

00:33:26.079 –> 00:33:30.109
music. I kept having people commenting to me

00:33:30.109 –> 00:33:33.009
and messaging me on Twitter and tweeting at me

00:33:33.009 –> 00:33:36.950
and DMing me and everything else saying, I thought

00:33:36.950 –> 00:33:40.329
you were part of an actual radio station. I thought

00:33:40.329 –> 00:33:42.589
Geekcast Radio, because it’s called Geekcast

00:33:42.589 –> 00:33:45.910
Radio, was an actual… I’m like, no, it’s not.

00:33:45.990 –> 00:33:48.710
We’re a podcast network. We sometimes talk about

00:33:48.710 –> 00:33:51.849
music, but not often. Would you like to beg for

00:33:51.849 –> 00:33:56.410
your lives? It sometimes helps, but not often.

00:33:57.450 –> 00:34:03.329
Oh, boy. Anyway, so, yeah, on November 11th of

00:34:03.329 –> 00:34:07.950
2011, I was like, okay, let’s figure this out.

00:34:08.010 –> 00:34:11.690
And originally, it was only going to be those.

00:34:12.340 –> 00:34:17.440
episode 30 to 35. And then I was like, Ooh, what

00:34:17.440 –> 00:34:19.900
about artists spotlights? And that’s how those

00:34:19.900 –> 00:34:23.059
special episodes and the, and the top tens came

00:34:23.059 –> 00:34:29.119
in. Cause I have, we did, uh, all the numbered

00:34:29.119 –> 00:34:32.380
episodes I think are the decades. And then all

00:34:32.380 –> 00:34:36.019
the special episodes are either artists or countdowns

00:34:36.019 –> 00:34:39.639
of said decades. And we did all the way up to,

00:34:39.760 –> 00:34:43.010
I think the, 2000s. I don’t think we did the

00:34:43.010 –> 00:34:46.050
2010s. I think we stopped at the 2000s at the

00:34:46.050 –> 00:34:52.170
time. And I bring that up because that to me

00:34:52.170 –> 00:34:56.389
was just a hilariously fun time with everyone

00:34:56.389 –> 00:35:00.289
that was on any of those episodes. It was a way

00:35:00.289 –> 00:35:08.409
for me to get my music bug out because I am musically

00:35:08.409 –> 00:35:13.500
inclined. I’ve always been musically inclined.

00:35:13.940 –> 00:35:23.119
From 2006 to now, the last 20 years. I was buying

00:35:23.119 –> 00:35:28.119
those buck 29 downloads. Every song I was buying

00:35:28.119 –> 00:35:33.519
those nine 99 albums on iTunes in 2006, 2000.

00:35:33.679 –> 00:35:37.579
I was bought any song, any artists, any, anything.

00:35:37.699 –> 00:35:40.679
I can go back on my iTunes library right now.

00:35:41.099 –> 00:35:44.860
I can go on my files for iTunes and look in my.

00:35:45.500 –> 00:35:48.239
itunes media library files right now there’s

00:35:48.239 –> 00:35:54.639
so much itunes files on my like dude it’s like

00:35:54.639 –> 00:36:00.519
over 1200 whatever but when i made the switch

00:36:00.519 –> 00:36:10.199
to spotify in 2017 In iTunes back then, I had

00:36:10.199 –> 00:36:18.039
this list called Faves. F -A -V -E -S. And I

00:36:18.039 –> 00:36:23.719
recreated it in Spotify. Because Spotify, because

00:36:23.719 –> 00:36:25.820
it’s streaming, all you have to do is just add

00:36:25.820 –> 00:36:32.400
songs. And I basically have the exact same stuff

00:36:32.400 –> 00:36:37.619
in the exact same place. But on Spotify, what

00:36:37.619 –> 00:36:41.800
I use for my music specifically is I use their

00:36:41.800 –> 00:36:47.920
Recently Played tab. And right now, I have my

00:36:47.920 –> 00:36:50.599
faves list. I have two albums that I have to

00:36:50.599 –> 00:36:53.539
write reviews for La La Land Records. I have

00:36:53.539 –> 00:36:56.559
my On Repeat, which is what they have for you.

00:36:56.619 –> 00:37:00.420
I have this Go Go Go playlist, which is… All

00:37:00.420 –> 00:37:03.380
of the upbeat music that I use to basically get

00:37:03.380 –> 00:37:08.699
myself out of bed in the morning. Music is my

00:37:08.699 –> 00:37:10.619
coffee, essentially, because I don’t drink coffee.

00:37:10.820 –> 00:37:14.619
So I need something that will literally, not

00:37:14.619 –> 00:37:18.719
necessarily like electronica, but something close

00:37:18.719 –> 00:37:22.880
to that. The new EP from Blackstone Cherry. The

00:37:22.880 –> 00:37:25.400
20th anniversary of A Theory of a Dead Man album.

00:37:25.519 –> 00:37:30.679
The podcast stuff that I listen to. Uh, you just

00:37:30.679 –> 00:37:33.260
mentioned three doors down. We recently lost

00:37:33.260 –> 00:37:36.119
lead singer, Brad Arnold. He finally, unfortunately

00:37:36.119 –> 00:37:40.539
passed away due to his, his illness there. So

00:37:40.539 –> 00:37:42.840
I created a playlist, my favorite three doors

00:37:42.840 –> 00:37:46.079
down songs, which I plan to do a blog post on.

00:37:47.239 –> 00:37:51.019
I then have all of my, I have Batman forever.

00:37:51.239 –> 00:37:53.559
Cause last year was the 30th anniversary of that.

00:37:54.400 –> 00:37:58.699
I then have all of the currently released from

00:37:58.699 –> 00:38:01.340
Dynamic Music Partners, all of their current

00:38:01.340 –> 00:38:06.119
releases for Batman Beyond Volume 1 and Volumes

00:38:06.119 –> 00:38:09.400
2 and 3, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited

00:38:09.400 –> 00:38:12.000
Volume 1 and Volume 2, so all the superhero stuff.

00:38:14.119 –> 00:38:18.380
Stan’s new album. Born to Battle, Stan Bush’s

00:38:18.380 –> 00:38:21.360
new album, the soundtrack for The Rip, which

00:38:21.360 –> 00:38:24.260
we will be doing an episode of the Studio 2009

00:38:24.260 –> 00:38:31.539
on for that movie. Music just, it’s always, if

00:38:31.539 –> 00:38:33.940
I’m not watching something for the podcast, if

00:38:33.940 –> 00:38:38.320
I’m not editing, if I’m not doing anything, I’m

00:38:38.320 –> 00:38:41.219
probably listening to music. Even when I’m sleeping,

00:38:41.440 –> 00:38:43.239
well, sleeping I need audio books, but that’s

00:38:43.239 –> 00:38:45.940
beside the point. But, yeah, no, just absolutely

00:38:45.940 –> 00:38:50.679
music fuels me. It really, really does. So, yeah.

00:38:51.199 –> 00:38:53.440
So, yeah, we had the music spotlight from 2011

00:38:53.440 –> 00:38:56.880
to 2012. Not necessarily saying I’m going to

00:38:56.880 –> 00:39:00.400
revisit that or anything because you can’t put

00:39:00.400 –> 00:39:02.380
music in podcasts anymore, folks, because if

00:39:02.380 –> 00:39:04.360
you don’t own it, you can’t put it in there.

00:39:04.440 –> 00:39:08.300
Oh, my God. Yeah, I can’t believe we got away

00:39:08.300 –> 00:39:11.000
with that. We got away with it for quite some

00:39:11.000 –> 00:39:16.559
time. Yep. But, yeah, not no more. Not no more.

00:39:17.099 –> 00:39:20.780
Well, because Spotify specifically will. Oh,

00:39:20.780 –> 00:39:26.800
yeah. Or like that. What’s that meme? Not in

00:39:26.800 –> 00:39:29.920
my house. Yeah, not in my house. I don’t think

00:39:29.920 –> 00:39:33.539
so. YouTube does it too now. Yeah, YouTube. To

00:39:33.539 –> 00:39:41.000
the extent. Yep. So. Yeah, it’s crazy. And then

00:39:41.000 –> 00:39:43.300
we had, I mentioned earlier the year in review

00:39:43.300 –> 00:39:45.519
with a decade in review, but we’ve been doing

00:39:45.519 –> 00:39:49.179
year in review stuff for a while. I think we

00:39:49.179 –> 00:39:52.460
haven’t done one for every year because I know

00:39:52.460 –> 00:39:56.760
we skipped a few there. We skipped quite a few,

00:39:56.800 –> 00:40:03.960
I think. Yeah, probably. But I know we started

00:40:03.960 –> 00:40:07.940
it in 2010. We did one for 2011. And then where’d

00:40:07.940 –> 00:40:11.920
we go? Went a bunch of places. Okay, so we did…

00:40:11.920 –> 00:40:18.179
Yeah, so like I said, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014.

00:40:18.340 –> 00:40:21.619
We skipped 2013. 13’s an unlucky number, apparently.

00:40:22.420 –> 00:40:27.139
15, 16, we skipped 17, we did 18, and then we

00:40:27.139 –> 00:40:30.260
skipped all the way to 25. So we skipped from…

00:40:30.780 –> 00:40:37.420
2018 to 2025. So last year. We will be doing

00:40:37.420 –> 00:40:42.780
one this year, folks. But basically this was

00:40:42.780 –> 00:40:46.480
just us looking back, not necessarily on the

00:40:46.480 –> 00:40:49.119
networks here, but just looking back on the year

00:40:49.119 –> 00:40:51.579
as a whole. But it also gives us a chance to

00:40:51.579 –> 00:40:54.739
look back on how many podcasts we’ve been able

00:40:54.739 –> 00:40:57.519
to produce, what content we did produce, what

00:40:57.519 –> 00:41:00.260
we liked, what we didn’t. Not necessarily what

00:41:00.260 –> 00:41:02.659
we didn’t like about the content we produced,

00:41:02.860 –> 00:41:07.400
but I don’t know, just sometimes like, hey, what

00:41:07.400 –> 00:41:10.300
was this episode like? Or what do we remember

00:41:10.300 –> 00:41:14.400
about this? Or what was the highest peak here

00:41:14.400 –> 00:41:19.639
kind of thing? And then we sometimes will bring

00:41:19.639 –> 00:41:24.280
in like, this is our top five things we watched

00:41:24.280 –> 00:41:28.139
or top five things we listened to. this is the

00:41:28.139 –> 00:41:31.059
craziest thing we saw something happen on social

00:41:31.059 –> 00:41:34.260
media this is the dumbest thing we saw happen

00:41:34.260 –> 00:41:37.980
in the real world this year kind of thing and

00:41:37.980 –> 00:41:41.639
it’s usually always so fun doing the year in

00:41:41.639 –> 00:41:46.840
review stuff so so yeah absolutely not gonna

00:41:46.840 –> 00:41:48.960
spend a whole lot of time on this but this is

00:41:48.960 –> 00:41:52.519
all your fault it was but i did get it for free

00:41:52.519 –> 00:41:57.010
so like Wait a minute. How’d you get this for

00:41:57.010 –> 00:42:03.349
free? So… Maybe I didn’t. I don’t know. They

00:42:03.349 –> 00:42:08.289
mailed me this. Oh, that’s right! They mailed

00:42:08.289 –> 00:42:13.670
you 13? Yes. Oh, that’s right. It came with a

00:42:13.670 –> 00:42:17.789
mask and everything. Oh, they mailed… Oh, that’s

00:42:17.789 –> 00:42:21.489
right. They mailed you the… Okay. You still

00:42:21.489 –> 00:42:25.440
have that? No. I don’t have a lot of stuff anymore.

00:42:26.199 –> 00:42:32.519
Yeah, same. But truthfully, while it was decent

00:42:32.519 –> 00:42:35.940
at the time, it never fully recovered from it.

00:42:38.300 –> 00:42:44.079
I mean, I’m just saying that as like… Did they

00:42:44.079 –> 00:42:47.739
mail you a Joker mask? Oh yeah, it came with

00:42:47.739 –> 00:42:51.300
the comic. It was like in a cardboard insert

00:42:51.300 –> 00:42:56.449
and everything. Okay, so it was like the Court

00:42:56.449 –> 00:43:00.909
of Owls mask I had then, probably. Wow, okay.

00:43:02.949 –> 00:43:08.110
Cool. Interesting. So yes, folks, we were talking

00:43:08.110 –> 00:43:11.349
about comics, because music and comics, reading

00:43:11.349 –> 00:43:14.210
and music, it’s all about reading and music around

00:43:14.210 –> 00:43:17.820
here. But yeah, folks, it’s all his fault. uh

00:43:17.820 –> 00:43:21.440
dcrn comic coverage batman death of the family

00:43:21.440 –> 00:43:26.400
the one thing the only thing that led us to the

00:43:26.400 –> 00:43:30.000
bull bag because i remember at the end of episode

00:43:30.000 –> 00:43:33.119
at the end of the special episode that had batman

00:43:33.119 –> 00:43:35.739
17 the very end of it as soon as i hit the stop

00:43:35.739 –> 00:43:39.070
button The first thing you said, okay, you got

00:43:39.070 –> 00:43:41.250
to find something else to put these comics in.

00:43:41.309 –> 00:43:43.769
They can’t exist here on geek cast radio anymore.

00:43:43.949 –> 00:43:45.530
You got to do something else. If you’re going

00:43:45.530 –> 00:43:48.469
to continue this, I’m like, okay, fine. Give

00:43:48.469 –> 00:43:52.469
me some, give me, let’s workshop it. Let’s brainstorm

00:43:52.469 –> 00:43:56.369
it. Let’s figure it out. And we went into research

00:43:56.369 –> 00:44:01.000
mode and figured out names. and things and did

00:44:01.000 –> 00:44:03.880
some artwork and did some templates and did some

00:44:03.880 –> 00:44:06.619
research. We looked on iTunes. We looked everywhere

00:44:06.619 –> 00:44:10.800
for names and whatever. No, I will say, I will

00:44:10.800 –> 00:44:16.599
say this. Yeah. It sucks. Like no other to try

00:44:16.599 –> 00:44:22.199
and do, uh, to do a, a new podcast. Yes, it does.

00:44:22.500 –> 00:44:25.739
Specifically because every blasted name you can

00:44:25.739 –> 00:44:29.300
think of is taken nowadays. Yeah. Luckily back

00:44:29.300 –> 00:44:33.800
then it wasn’t as bad as it is today. But, but

00:44:33.800 –> 00:44:36.880
nowadays it’s, it’s terrible. Cause like my wife

00:44:36.880 –> 00:44:39.639
and I are doing our own like separate podcast

00:44:39.639 –> 00:44:44.480
and, uh, it’s, it’s been fun trying to find a

00:44:44.480 –> 00:44:50.500
name that’s not taken. Oh, so, so you started

00:44:50.500 –> 00:44:53.940
another new one. Yeah, we decided to do one that’s

00:44:53.940 –> 00:44:56.340
more like generic and less like it’s not about

00:44:56.340 –> 00:44:58.960
necessarily health. It can cover that, but it’s

00:44:58.960 –> 00:45:02.000
not. It’s like more of a two married people.

00:45:02.099 –> 00:45:05.960
Oh, OK. Discussing topics. Yeah. Like kind of

00:45:05.960 –> 00:45:08.039
a catch all. So like, you know, we want to talk

00:45:08.039 –> 00:45:09.940
about like hiking or we want to talk about, you

00:45:09.940 –> 00:45:13.579
know, the animals or like media or whatever it

00:45:13.579 –> 00:45:16.000
can. Very cool. You know. Very cool, very cool.

00:45:16.159 –> 00:45:20.199
Yeah, the research for a podcast, and that’s

00:45:20.199 –> 00:45:23.340
why I’m glad we have the 40 shows that we do

00:45:23.340 –> 00:45:28.800
have, because we do have at least two that are

00:45:28.800 –> 00:45:32.420
catch -all with this, with Geekcast Radio, mainly

00:45:32.420 –> 00:45:34.820
catch -all media if we really want it to be.

00:45:35.909 –> 00:45:39.170
altered geek can be catch -all but it’s tailored

00:45:39.170 –> 00:45:42.130
to you it’s to your specific whatever you want

00:45:42.130 –> 00:45:44.610
it to be but it is essentially news most of the

00:45:44.610 –> 00:45:48.449
time studio 2009 could technically be catch -all

00:45:48.449 –> 00:45:52.710
but it’s also specifically tailored to whatever

00:45:52.710 –> 00:45:56.690
we want to watch and review um so we do have

00:45:56.690 –> 00:45:58.570
a lot of that kind of stuff and we don’t really

00:45:58.570 –> 00:46:01.690
like within studio 2009 i can do all kinds of

00:46:02.510 –> 00:46:05.170
like spotlights and like we’re going to do the

00:46:05.170 –> 00:46:09.949
actress spotlight. And, um, I’m actually, I actually

00:46:09.949 –> 00:46:13.150
just thought of doing a whole, um, a whole book

00:46:13.150 –> 00:46:17.349
series, a series of books about something with

00:46:17.349 –> 00:46:21.389
somebody recently here. I was a detective series

00:46:21.389 –> 00:46:24.530
of books that came out years ago, but anyway,

00:46:24.690 –> 00:46:31.099
but yeah, no, that’s awesome. Back in 2012, we

00:46:31.099 –> 00:46:35.119
were doing comic book reviews here on Geekcast

00:46:35.119 –> 00:46:39.000
Radio. And Steve, at the end of it, was like,

00:46:39.099 –> 00:46:42.179
okay, we got to workshop this. And Mike Booth

00:46:42.179 –> 00:46:44.980
Ninja 81 Powers gave us the name for The Pull

00:46:44.980 –> 00:46:50.039
Bag. And on March 5th, 2013, the audio podcast

00:46:50.039 –> 00:46:53.639
The Pull Bag came online. And here we are, 13

00:46:53.639 –> 00:46:59.559
years later, 580 episodes. We got 20 to go to

00:46:59.559 –> 00:47:09.599
600. Longest episodic running show on the network.

00:47:10.579 –> 00:47:20.019
Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, concurrently running.

00:47:20.260 –> 00:47:25.539
I mean, as far as longevity. Yeah. As far as

00:47:25.539 –> 00:47:29.900
number count, not necessarily. Obviously, ATTF

00:47:29.900 –> 00:47:32.480
is the longest because it’s been here the longest.

00:47:32.679 –> 00:47:37.260
It predates the network. Yeah, exactly. I’m saying

00:47:37.260 –> 00:47:40.920
number -wise as far as the episode count, not

00:47:40.920 –> 00:47:46.119
the year count. But no, the pullback, I didn’t

00:47:46.119 –> 00:47:49.880
know. We didn’t know at the beginning. Neither

00:47:49.880 –> 00:47:51.840
one of us did who was going to take the reins,

00:47:52.019 –> 00:47:54.800
and then you just had to show me that damn Joker

00:47:54.800 –> 00:48:00.190
cover. Yep. And that run, that story arc, man,

00:48:00.309 –> 00:48:04.989
that freaking story arc was so cool. It was dark.

00:48:05.190 –> 00:48:11.489
It was dark, but it was good. I liked that more

00:48:11.489 –> 00:48:13.610
than I liked the Court of Owls, because I had

00:48:13.610 –> 00:48:15.889
to go backwards. I didn’t read the Court of Owls

00:48:15.889 –> 00:48:20.710
first. I read that first. And I went back, and

00:48:20.710 –> 00:48:22.949
then I went forward after that, and I’m just

00:48:22.949 –> 00:48:27.539
like, okay. And I think we finished, I think

00:48:27.539 –> 00:48:30.539
we read up to, I think Ryan, Ryan, the uneven

00:48:30.539 –> 00:48:34.900
flow. And I read up to volume seven or eight,

00:48:35.059 –> 00:48:38.159
maybe just a volume seven. I forget how far we

00:48:38.159 –> 00:48:41.239
got, but I know I didn’t finish the Snyder run

00:48:41.239 –> 00:48:47.159
on new 52 Batman. It got terrible. I don’t know.

00:48:47.579 –> 00:48:53.199
Like I didn’t, I don’t know. It is what it is.

00:48:54.119 –> 00:48:58.760
But the pull bag has got literally anything and

00:48:58.760 –> 00:49:00.280
everything you could possibly. It doesn’t have

00:49:00.280 –> 00:49:04.679
anything and everything, but I wanted it to have

00:49:04.679 –> 00:49:09.179
so much variety that you could look every which

00:49:09.179 –> 00:49:11.320
way and you could find at least something for

00:49:11.320 –> 00:49:16.219
yourself. We’ve got TMNT. We’ve got Turtle. We

00:49:16.219 –> 00:49:19.039
got TMNT. We got Transformers. We got DC. We

00:49:19.039 –> 00:49:23.000
got Marvel stuff. And I wanted to do stuff that

00:49:23.000 –> 00:49:26.719
we didn’t, that you weren’t going to find everywhere

00:49:26.719 –> 00:49:28.679
else. And the funny thing, I say that now, and

00:49:28.679 –> 00:49:32.920
I just did the research on this. I always say

00:49:32.920 –> 00:49:36.400
to people that the pull bag resists what every

00:49:36.400 –> 00:49:39.059
other comic book podcast has ever done. We didn’t

00:49:39.059 –> 00:49:41.960
just want to do the dark night returns. I’m a

00:49:41.960 –> 00:49:45.719
dumb ass. We did it one year after the damn podcast

00:49:45.719 –> 00:49:49.860
started in episode 71. I just found that out

00:49:49.860 –> 00:49:52.079
like a week ago and I’m like, are you kidding

00:49:52.079 –> 00:49:58.360
me? Oh my God. I’m such a liar. Like I thought

00:49:58.360 –> 00:50:00.920
we did that years after the show started. It

00:50:00.920 –> 00:50:03.659
turns out we did it a year later in episode 71.

00:50:04.440 –> 00:50:08.679
Either way, it’s done. It’s whatever. Uh, I think

00:50:08.679 –> 00:50:13.059
my favorite part of the pull bag is what Joe

00:50:13.059 –> 00:50:15.960
Reed and I have done with IDW turtles. I mean,

00:50:15.960 –> 00:50:20.500
I love it all, but like, We have covered almost

00:50:20.500 –> 00:50:23.179
all of it. We’ve covered the entire main run

00:50:23.179 –> 00:50:26.239
up to this point. Well, at least up to the point

00:50:26.239 –> 00:50:28.260
that we are now currently, even though the main

00:50:28.260 –> 00:50:32.400
run finished and they’ve restarted. But we’re

00:50:32.400 –> 00:50:40.199
currently up to volume 8 damage done, I believe.

00:50:40.699 –> 00:50:43.280
It’s either volume 7 or volume 8. I think it’s

00:50:43.280 –> 00:50:46.199
volume 8. Uh, we’ve got volume eight and volume

00:50:46.199 –> 00:50:50.099
nine. So damage done. And once, uh, once and

00:50:50.099 –> 00:50:54.659
always, uh, or first last and always, or something,

00:50:54.760 –> 00:50:57.320
whatever, or the last trades called, I forget.

00:50:57.360 –> 00:51:00.159
Cause we, we do it in trade over there, but the

00:51:00.159 –> 00:51:05.139
150th issues in that, and that comic book, man,

00:51:05.280 –> 00:51:10.119
that’s been 12 years. Practically the entire,

00:51:10.219 –> 00:51:14.099
we started that January 22nd of 2014. So a year

00:51:14.099 –> 00:51:19.260
after the show started 12 years of my life where

00:51:19.260 –> 00:51:23.099
almost every issue, something in every trade

00:51:23.099 –> 00:51:27.860
has wrenched my heart out with turtles. No turtles

00:51:27.860 –> 00:51:32.659
media has ever like, yeah, the first movies,

00:51:32.679 –> 00:51:35.219
maybe a couple of things in the second movie.

00:51:36.809 –> 00:51:39.809
A little bit heart -wrenching, but nothing else

00:51:39.809 –> 00:51:45.590
in Turtles media ever has taken me through the

00:51:45.590 –> 00:51:48.610
emotions that that comic that IDW has made has

00:51:48.610 –> 00:51:51.469
done. And once we finish that, we’ll start the

00:51:51.469 –> 00:51:53.550
new stuff that they currently have going on.

00:51:54.570 –> 00:51:57.809
So 580 episodes of The Pull Bag, 20 to go to

00:51:57.809 –> 00:52:00.769
600, like I mentioned before. And then we have

00:52:00.769 –> 00:52:08.010
Wars and Retro. Oh, my God. Retro is fairly short.

00:52:08.110 –> 00:52:11.829
It only has three episodes currently. Retro started

00:52:11.829 –> 00:52:15.469
in 2012. I believe this was an Optimus Solo idea.

00:52:16.309 –> 00:52:18.750
I want to give credit where credit is due. It

00:52:18.750 –> 00:52:22.690
might have been yours and his together. I don’t

00:52:22.690 –> 00:52:23.730
remember off the top of my head. I don’t think

00:52:23.730 –> 00:52:27.070
I came up with Retro unless that was an idea

00:52:27.070 –> 00:52:30.369
that spawned out of just the fact I liked the

00:52:30.369 –> 00:52:32.949
word. Probably, but I think it was something

00:52:32.949 –> 00:52:34.949
you both came up with. I think he had the…

00:52:35.800 –> 00:52:38.659
I think he had the guts for it. He had the innards.

00:52:38.760 –> 00:52:42.739
He had the format. He had the designs for it.

00:52:43.159 –> 00:52:46.519
Maybe you had the name, or maybe you all both

00:52:46.519 –> 00:52:49.679
came up with the name. I don’t remember. I don’t

00:52:49.679 –> 00:52:53.289
remember. It was so long ago. Yeah, it was January

00:52:53.289 –> 00:52:57.869
24th, 2012. 1987 was the first episode. 2002

00:52:57.869 –> 00:53:00.969
was the second. And 1984 was the third. Funny

00:53:00.969 –> 00:53:07.429
thing is, between 2002 and 1984, 2002 was April

00:53:07.429 –> 00:53:13.849
17th of 2012. 84 was December 26th of 2014. And

00:53:13.849 –> 00:53:18.530
we were going to bring it back last year. life

00:53:18.530 –> 00:53:21.989
and time and everything gotten away last year

00:53:21.989 –> 00:53:25.710
hopefully we can bring retro back this year and

00:53:25.710 –> 00:53:28.909
then there’s gcr and wars which started out as

00:53:28.909 –> 00:53:31.289
one thing and then turned into something completely

00:53:31.289 –> 00:53:33.789
different yeah it was like a one episode difference

00:53:33.789 –> 00:53:39.590
yeah started off as like it was supposed to be

00:53:39.590 –> 00:53:44.050
more of a discussion like round table based version

00:53:44.050 –> 00:53:50.210
of headshot only not as vulgar That’s literally

00:53:50.210 –> 00:53:53.570
what it was supposed to be. Yeah. And then we

00:53:53.570 –> 00:53:55.869
ended up going a totally different direction.

00:53:56.070 –> 00:54:01.789
Yep. So we started out in August of 2010 with

00:54:01.789 –> 00:54:04.449
Dirty Government and Healthcare Horrors, which…

00:54:04.449 –> 00:54:08.329
Not much has changed. I was going to say, coming

00:54:08.329 –> 00:54:11.489
360 around to those topics, not much has changed.

00:54:12.480 –> 00:54:17.699
And then in September of 2011, we released episode

00:54:17.699 –> 00:54:22.139
two, which was Flintstones versus Jetsons. So

00:54:22.139 –> 00:54:24.900
we basically took two franchises and pitted them

00:54:24.900 –> 00:54:28.500
against each other. And that’s kind of what Wars

00:54:28.500 –> 00:54:32.980
has become ever since then. We’ve done Thundercats

00:54:32.980 –> 00:54:35.800
versus Silverhawks, Star Trek versus Star Wars,

00:54:36.340 –> 00:54:40.909
Die Hard versus Lethal Weapon. We’ve done several

00:54:40.909 –> 00:54:44.690
tournaments. We’ve done the 80s cartoon villains.

00:54:44.969 –> 00:54:48.809
We’ve done the, I think, 90s cartoons villains.

00:54:49.769 –> 00:54:53.349
Ninjas vs. Pirates. That was an episode. We did

00:54:53.349 –> 00:54:58.130
the video game icons. So we did that. Where’s

00:54:58.130 –> 00:55:02.010
the… Didn’t we do the 90s villains? Yeah, we

00:55:02.010 –> 00:55:07.170
did. There it is. I thought I was… I remember

00:55:07.170 –> 00:55:10.230
making the bracket. Yeah, you made awesome brackets

00:55:10.230 –> 00:55:13.510
for these things. Yeah, we did the 90s villains,

00:55:13.710 –> 00:55:17.190
and then we did the wrestling tag teams. And

00:55:17.190 –> 00:55:19.809
the wrestling tag teams was the last one we did,

00:55:19.909 –> 00:55:26.349
which was in 2018. But it’s a nice different

00:55:26.349 –> 00:55:30.170
premise, especially for us. Especially back when

00:55:30.170 –> 00:55:35.119
we started it in the early days, because… Again,

00:55:35.199 –> 00:55:38.599
we wanted to do something different. We didn’t

00:55:38.599 –> 00:55:41.440
just want to do another show, another topic,

00:55:41.559 –> 00:55:46.900
another this, another that. And between Wars

00:55:46.900 –> 00:55:52.119
and Retro, two very different things on top of

00:55:52.119 –> 00:55:55.199
everything else we were already doing. Because

00:55:55.199 –> 00:55:57.659
by that time, we had MWire going full force.

00:55:57.739 –> 00:56:01.820
We had everything else going full force. HHF

00:56:01.820 –> 00:56:06.489
was on autopilot. Tell the autopilot he deserves

00:56:06.489 –> 00:56:11.550
a raise. You know, all that good stuff and everything

00:56:11.550 –> 00:56:15.289
else. And folks, you never know when you’re going

00:56:15.289 –> 00:56:21.070
to meet your co -hosts or where. Yeah. Well,

00:56:21.289 –> 00:56:25.010
because honestly, I never thought I just always

00:56:25.010 –> 00:56:27.570
thought it was going to be behind the screen.

00:56:27.750 –> 00:56:34.150
You never know. But. It was December 6th, 2017.

00:56:34.690 –> 00:56:39.550
Nine years in the making at the time. SCP -21

00:56:39.550 –> 00:56:45.469
and TF2 and Mike live in person. So Steve was

00:56:45.469 –> 00:56:49.309
the only choice. And, of course, we flew him

00:56:49.309 –> 00:56:51.369
out because that was the only right thing to

00:56:51.369 –> 00:56:54.230
do. But we flew him out from Colorado. Were you

00:56:54.230 –> 00:56:56.989
in? Wait. Michigan. You were in Michigan. You’re

00:56:56.989 –> 00:57:00.730
still in Michigan then. That’s right. Wow. God,

00:57:00.730 –> 00:57:04.329
time flies. I am too old for this shit. Yeah,

00:57:04.449 –> 00:57:07.510
you’re in Michigan still. We flew you out from

00:57:07.510 –> 00:57:11.750
Michigan to Chicago because at the time, Karen

00:57:11.750 –> 00:57:16.409
and I were going to be married. And the only

00:57:16.409 –> 00:57:18.389
person in the world was going to be my best man.

00:57:19.130 –> 00:57:22.190
So, yeah. So Steve and I met for the first time

00:57:22.190 –> 00:57:24.969
in person nine years after we created the Geekcast

00:57:24.969 –> 00:57:29.619
Radio Network. In person was pretty much the

00:57:29.619 –> 00:57:33.239
same thing that you hear right now on the podcast,

00:57:33.380 –> 00:57:37.019
folks. There’s no difference. It was funny because

00:57:37.019 –> 00:57:40.900
it was slightly awkward to begin with. A little

00:57:40.900 –> 00:57:43.880
bit, yeah. Because we were like, how do we…

00:57:43.880 –> 00:57:46.099
How do we do this without a screen? How do we

00:57:46.099 –> 00:57:48.800
do this without a screen and a microphone? Yeah.

00:57:49.139 –> 00:57:52.019
And then it kind of just, it was like, okay,

00:57:52.139 –> 00:57:56.889
I’m good. Yeah, we’re good. Yep. But yeah, it

00:57:56.889 –> 00:57:59.449
was kind of funny. I think that’s the same time

00:57:59.449 –> 00:58:02.750
I met Michael Wilson in person, too. Probably.

00:58:03.550 –> 00:58:09.409
And then I saw him again at BotCon. Yep. And

00:58:09.409 –> 00:58:11.909
then he introduced me to, like, everybody. Yeah.

00:58:13.670 –> 00:58:17.230
He was like, oh, hey, come see this person. Come

00:58:17.230 –> 00:58:20.369
see this person. And I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah,

00:58:20.429 –> 00:58:25.420
that’s the way Michael is. because you know once

00:58:25.420 –> 00:58:28.260
you know at least one person at a at a convention

00:58:28.260 –> 00:58:30.539
they’re gonna you know take you around to meet

00:58:30.539 –> 00:58:33.480
everybody especially if they already know everybody

00:58:33.480 –> 00:58:36.460
else well and it was beneficial too because he

00:58:36.460 –> 00:58:39.599
was like i have an extra ticket to see frank

00:58:39.599 –> 00:58:43.659
walker yeah he was like i sell it to you and

00:58:43.659 –> 00:58:49.679
i was like i was like for sure yeah yeah i went

00:58:49.679 –> 00:58:51.719
with my brothers to that convention so that was

00:58:52.219 –> 00:58:54.800
And then I met John Bailey in person and all

00:58:54.800 –> 00:58:57.079
the other people I used to do fan dubs with Frank

00:58:57.079 –> 00:59:02.579
Todaro and. Very nice. Very nice. Yeah. Yeah.

00:59:02.619 –> 00:59:05.860
That’s so cool. So cool. But yeah, folks, three

00:59:05.860 –> 00:59:10.159
60 podcasting ain’t easy. It takes time. It takes

00:59:10.159 –> 00:59:14.260
effort. It takes everything you got. You can’t

00:59:14.260 –> 00:59:20.730
do it overnight. It like I’m. Honestly surprised

00:59:20.730 –> 00:59:31.010
that it’s taken us 2009, 2026, like 17 years

00:59:31.010 –> 00:59:34.769
to get to 360. But again, we’ve always used this.

00:59:34.829 –> 00:59:39.489
We’ve never used geek cast radio as we must put

00:59:39.489 –> 00:59:42.110
everything here. We must every episode. We must

00:59:42.110 –> 00:59:46.239
have an episode a week. We must have. Daily content.

00:59:46.420 –> 00:59:50.619
Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. My philosophy

00:59:50.619 –> 00:59:53.900
has always been quality over quantity. Right.

00:59:54.519 –> 00:59:57.559
So, like, that’s why, like, ATTF, even though

00:59:57.559 –> 01:00:00.420
it’s been around, it’s one of the longest running

01:00:00.420 –> 01:00:05.260
Transformers podcasts. Yeah. It doesn’t have,

01:00:05.400 –> 01:00:09.579
like, the episode count of, like, TFW at WTF

01:00:09.579 –> 01:00:13.000
or something like that. Yeah. Like, TF Radio

01:00:13.000 –> 01:00:15.599
was around before everybody. Well, yeah, 99.

01:00:15.840 –> 01:00:18.800
Hands down. But I think I’ve officially, like,

01:00:18.880 –> 01:00:22.599
passed everything that TF Wire did. Well, yeah.

01:00:22.659 –> 01:00:24.519
I think three times over, though. I think they

01:00:24.519 –> 01:00:27.840
stopped in, like, the 100 -something range. Yeah,

01:00:27.880 –> 01:00:29.940
but that’s okay, though. I mean, that’s not,

01:00:30.179 –> 01:00:32.860
you know. But that’s where I got my start. So,

01:00:32.860 –> 01:00:37.099
I mean, that was kind of, you know. Yeah. And

01:00:37.099 –> 01:00:40.039
the thing is, I agree with you. Quality over

01:00:40.039 –> 01:00:46.190
quantity. But my thing is, everything I do, I

01:00:46.190 –> 01:00:48.889
want it to be the best quality I can make it.

01:00:49.349 –> 01:00:56.090
So with me, I’m essentially a machine. I want

01:00:56.090 –> 01:00:59.449
to be pumping out the quality, not as fast, but

01:00:59.449 –> 01:01:05.369
as much as I possibly can. And because I generally

01:01:05.369 –> 01:01:09.230
do this all the time anyway, I have nothing but

01:01:09.230 –> 01:01:13.329
time. So as long as I can schedule whoever I

01:01:13.329 –> 01:01:16.309
can schedule to do whatever I need to be doing,

01:01:16.489 –> 01:01:20.510
and as long as I do the editing correctly and

01:01:20.510 –> 01:01:27.070
make it sound the best I can make it, it’s not

01:01:27.070 –> 01:01:30.110
necessarily this specific podcast, not Geekcast

01:01:30.110 –> 01:01:35.150
Radio. But it has been, since day one, my dream

01:01:35.150 –> 01:01:38.130
to have at least one of our shows be a daily

01:01:38.130 –> 01:01:42.260
show. And there’s only been one time so far,

01:01:42.400 –> 01:01:44.659
and that time is going to come up here again

01:01:44.659 –> 01:01:49.900
soon, hopefully. But Studio 2009, at the end

01:01:49.900 –> 01:01:54.360
of last year, throughout partially the beginning

01:01:54.360 –> 01:01:57.719
of this year, I was able to take that show daily.

01:01:57.920 –> 01:01:59.940
And the only reason why I did it was because

01:01:59.940 –> 01:02:05.820
I put different arts in every time. Because I

01:02:05.820 –> 01:02:09.650
can… Luckily, now that you gave me a template

01:02:09.650 –> 01:02:11.929
and you showed me how to do the stuff on my own,

01:02:12.050 –> 01:02:15.829
I can do it on my own with the art. Just because,

01:02:16.010 –> 01:02:18.829
I don’t know. I don’t even know if people want

01:02:18.829 –> 01:02:23.070
daily content from us, and that’s fine. But it’s

01:02:23.070 –> 01:02:25.809
just one of those things where that was, out

01:02:25.809 –> 01:02:29.269
of all the goals I’ve ever wanted out of podcasting,

01:02:29.289 –> 01:02:32.610
out of everything I’ve learned in the last 17,

01:02:32.650 –> 01:02:38.340
almost 18 years that I’ve been doing it. A daily

01:02:38.340 –> 01:02:42.440
thing just seemed like something I always wanted

01:02:42.440 –> 01:02:47.659
to be able to accomplish. And the only other

01:02:47.659 –> 01:02:50.159
than some of the things that I wanted to be able

01:02:50.159 –> 01:02:54.239
to get out before the end of last year, the only

01:02:54.239 –> 01:02:58.340
thing I really take daily is the Columbo files

01:02:58.340 –> 01:03:04.039
because I view that as it’s a TV show, even though

01:03:04.039 –> 01:03:08.130
it’s not a TV show. It’s a review show of a television

01:03:08.130 –> 01:03:11.809
show. And it’s like, oh, Episodes Daily. Yay!

01:03:12.550 –> 01:03:16.429
I don’t know. It’s just something silly and stupid

01:03:16.429 –> 01:03:19.269
that I’ve got in the back of my brain. I look

01:03:19.269 –> 01:03:22.150
at it as an email newsletter without having to

01:03:22.150 –> 01:03:27.510
get emails every single day. Anything else you

01:03:27.510 –> 01:03:32.929
would like to say, sir? No, it’s been interesting

01:03:32.929 –> 01:03:35.369
to see how far the network has progressed over

01:03:35.369 –> 01:03:41.449
the years and just the evolution of the network.

01:03:41.730 –> 01:03:45.949
I think we’ve evolved quite well for the most

01:03:45.949 –> 01:03:52.190
part. I think we’ve all done an excellent job

01:03:52.190 –> 01:03:58.500
with it. Optimus Solo and Comic Con Siege are

01:03:58.500 –> 01:04:00.820
doing a good job over there on Cinema Geeks.

01:04:00.920 –> 01:04:06.519
I think that what you and I are doing on all

01:04:06.519 –> 01:04:08.539
the stuff that we work on, we’re doing a good

01:04:08.539 –> 01:04:14.900
job. I think that all the stuff that we have

01:04:14.900 –> 01:04:18.500
planned for the future is going to be interesting,

01:04:18.719 –> 01:04:21.320
and I hope that everyone listening will continue

01:04:21.320 –> 01:04:25.000
to listen, and hopefully they’ll… Always enjoy

01:04:25.000 –> 01:04:27.840
what we’re doing. Yep, yep, yep. All right, folks,

01:04:28.079 –> 01:04:31.320
we have arrived around the podcast globe and

01:04:31.320 –> 01:04:33.940
it is time to go beyond the circumference of

01:04:33.940 –> 01:04:37.739
the GCRN circle because we here at the GCRN always

01:04:37.739 –> 01:04:41.320
go beyond where we have been. At the same time,

01:04:41.320 –> 01:04:44.159
we have always remembered where we started from.

01:04:45.679 –> 01:04:48.139
So that’s going to do it for us here, folks.

01:04:49.159 –> 01:04:52.900
We’re going to do a quick. podcast ad break you’re

01:04:52.900 –> 01:04:55.480
going to hear some podcast ads from other podcasts

01:04:55.480 –> 01:04:59.239
around the podcast globe that we like to promote

01:04:59.239 –> 01:05:02.280
we’ll come back to close the show right after

01:05:02.280 –> 01:05:07.030
this We are Two Mikes, Two Furious, a podcast

01:05:07.030 –> 01:05:09.869
where we watch every episode of Transformers

01:05:09.869 –> 01:05:12.730
Animated and discuss from two different points

01:05:12.730 –> 01:05:15.489
of view. I’m Mike Seibert, and I’ve never watched

01:05:15.489 –> 01:05:18.110
Transformers Animated before. And guiding me

01:05:18.110 –> 01:05:21.409
on this journey is author Michael Andrews. Hello.

01:05:21.769 –> 01:05:25.550
Yes. Long time Transformers Animated fan. Serial

01:05:25.550 –> 01:05:28.570
rewatcher. Seen it plenty of times. So if you’ve

01:05:28.570 –> 01:05:31.070
never watched Transformers Animated, but always

01:05:31.070 –> 01:05:33.719
wanted a reason to, now’s your chance. Likewise,

01:05:33.880 –> 01:05:36.579
if you’ve binged the series several times, it’s

01:05:36.579 –> 01:05:39.400
a great reason to watch through again with us.

01:05:39.599 –> 01:05:41.780
Because regardless, if you’re a seasoned vet

01:05:41.780 –> 01:05:44.559
or a newbie, there’s something for every fan.

01:05:44.719 –> 01:05:48.019
Because I ask questions. Why is Prowl such a

01:05:48.019 –> 01:05:52.059
dick? So that he can be not a dick later, I think

01:05:52.059 –> 01:05:54.780
is the answer. Subscribe to 2 Mike’s 2 Furious

I feel like we’re not living up to the… Are

01:06:01.179 –> 01:06:04.039
we supposed to be like… More angry, more fired

01:06:04.039 –> 01:06:06.300

the heck are you doing? Trying to make our spot

01:08:11.670 –> 01:08:14.869
sound more exciting by adding explosions. Yeah,

01:08:14.909 –> 01:08:16.090
I’m pretty sure you could have got the point

01:08:16.090 –> 01:08:18.229
across with sound effects. Not the real thing.
