Before this episode starts, I just wanted to let you know that the
first several episodes that we record are essentially just shaking off rust as
we get back into recording the show, which, yes, we are actually
doing it this time. We've got a couple of recordings under
our belts and we've got a schedule, so stick with us. Hang in there
with the audio. It's not the worst, but it's going to get better,
I promise. Enjoy the episode, and please leave us some
feedback. That'd be so, so cool. I guess I can, I got, I gotta remember
how, how do we introduce the show? Well, we can, we can make a brand new one. This is version 8.0. . Right, right. I figured we could, um, you know,
talk a little bit about like, what we've been up to, uh, like, and then like you were talking about
what we've been geeking and then, uh, some ideas of like what we have
in mind for the podcast going into the future. Uh, the big
thing is we're back. Yes. To all of our four listeners. . Right. I'm sure there have been
a lot of people that have jumped off. I still see that people download
the show, so that's nice. Um, so thanks to those handful of
people, but, you know, nothing major, but, uh, yeah. Welcome to Geek This. It's a podcast where we just talk about
the stuff that we're geeking out about, and largely entertainment
based stuff, movies, TV shows, probably dabble in some video games, just kind of whatever we're
thinking of at the time. Uh, as the show goes on, we'll get into a better routine of
how to talk to each other and to you, the audience. And, uh,
yeah, we're excited to be back. This has been very long in the making. Uh, my name is Dave Clements and I
started Geek This back in 2012, so this is 11 years going on, and with me is my best buddy. David Hunt. Hey, everybody. Long time
No. Here talk. Listen. All of the above. All. Of the above. Yeah. Because, uh, you have not been
on any podcasts recently, right? Oh, not in quite a while. I, well, we
recorded, uh, one episode of a, uh, failed start for, um, . Uh, it doesn't even matter what it
was called because we didn't, we, we recorded one episode. But anyway,
we, we recorded something and, um, and now we're, we're really back. For sure. For sure. For sure. The internet has changed
things for the better. Uh, I will say this might be one of the
better things that came from covid just because, uh, just it feels to me like remote connection, you know, V O I P and Zoom, things like that. Like have really helped
people communicate better. And I think that that was
always our problem just to
kind of give everybody who, as an older listener, a a peek
behind the curtain as to like, what the heck went wrong. Like
you and I weren't fighting, it was just simply we could not figure
out how to get together in the same location to record. Yeah. You know, uh, distance
and, uh, scheduling. And it just, it was not
working. And then, uh, I, I have two kids now, and your
kids are getting older and. Mm-hmm. . But, but you know, we're, we're really
jumping back into it this time. We, we miss talking to each other
and we miss talking geeky things. Yeah. I, every time we see each other, there's always this conversation that
starts about, Hey, have you watched this? Have you seen this? Uh, and then it's typically cut off
by just other people that are there. 'cause it's rarely just
you and I hanging out. Uh, kids. Some sometimes get in the way. Uh, I think the only thing we actually do
together at this point is we eat at least one meal together mm-hmm. And play at
least one game. And we might do that, what, every six months? It feels like. Maybe a little more often than that,
but, um, it feels like six months. Yeah. I've seen you
more over the last like, year and a half than I have in the
last four years, it feels like. Well, I mean, COVID
Covid and us having, uh, like we had our, uh, boy Ezra in 2020 mm-hmm. . So when you combine both of those and
then having a baby during Covid Right. You know, it kind of puts a
hamper on, uh, seeing people. That's why we're gonna do this
and things are gonna change. We're gonna probably do a lot of
remote recording of the episode. Whether that matters to
anybody listening or not, that's the way that it's gonna work.
We'll probably do some in-person things. Uh, I would love for us to go see a movie and
just talk about it on the way to where from the theater, something
like that. Just spice it up. Yeah. It'll mainly be just the two of us, but I'm sure occasionally we
might have a special guest. I think that was always one of my favorite
things about the show was being able to bring on friends that enjoyed the
stuff that we were talking about. I think it, for me, I don't
know about you, but for me, I felt like it opened up my entertainment
options a lot. Mm-hmm. , uh, we got, we got Mike on the show, shout out to BoomStick Video Club podcast, and that was kind of when I
started dipping into like, horror movies and things like that. That was all closed off to me before
I started hanging out with Mike and had him on the show. I think Krampus was kind of the big
one where I was like, Mike's here, I'm gonna watch this. And it just
opened the door. Yeah. So this episode, we're just gonna kind of chitchat
about what we've been up to, which we kind of covered kind
of just been busy living life. I've been doing a lot with another podcast
called Playing Games with Strangers that is getting ready to start
its second campaign, if you like, d and d and role playing and audio dramas,
that that's what that podcast is for. But that's largely what I've been doing
outside of my normal nine to five job. I've been, I've been watching some
television, uh, you know, I, uh, just finished a Soca, uh, reservation, dogs Only Murders in the building.
What we do in the Shadows, like all these shows
are like ending mm-hmm. right around the same time. So I'm about ready to have a lot of
open time in my, in my schedule to, uh, watch stuff for the podcast, for us to dip our toes into
some back catalog things. And one thing that we've talked
about doing is sort of a, a segment, um, of the
podcast, if you will. I, I would almost say we're gonna
have a podcast inside of a podcast. Pretty much. Yeah. We're. Gonna have something called, uh, now
this is Franchising where we, uh, talk about, you know, uh,
different franchises, um, major franchises, you know,
between films and TV and, and, uh, some toys and video games, you
know, all of the above. You know, we did our Batman and Film, which is sort of sort of where
we came up with the ideas. Like, we really enjoyed doing those way
back in the day at this point. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. It was like 2014, I think. Long time. We were doing those. Long, but those were probably our
biggest episodes of Geek This. So, uh, we for sure kind of want to take
that and take a spin on it. Um, I know we've talked about doing one on
Spider-Man because Spider-Man is huge right now with the second inch
of the Spider verse. The, um, was it across the Spider verse? Yep.
And that just came out, uh, recently. And then the new Spider-Man video game
is about ready to come out and it's Yeah. Seems like a good time to do that. Uh, we've also talked about
maybe doing a weekly or semi-weekly Loki coverage. Yeah. I think we, we talked about covering all of season
one in one episode, and then, you know, splitting season two out, you know, over a few episodes across the
course of the season. Uh, just, I think our big thing is to not overload
our plates. Mm-hmm. , that was always a big thing. Like,
we have these huge plans to do stuff, and then it was like, oh, we have to put
out a weekly show and we don't have to. That's the cool thing about
podcast. So, yeah. I, I will, I will just say it right now. So
everybody knows David has been like, burning his brain, coming up with some really
great ideas for what we're gonna do in the show. I think it's been really cool to have
these conversations with you behind the scenes where it's like, Hey, what
if we do this? What if we do that? And I'm like, I love all
of this stuff. Would. You like to do, Dave? I would love, and this was actually something
that was talked about not too long ago, but as part of this, like, now this is franchising segment
or mini series or whatever we want to officially call that. I wanna be able to touch on horror
movies a little bit more. Like, it's October right now, and that's like an obvious,
oh, well, yeah. Duh. Halloween's coming up. We
gotta talk about scary stuff. We're not a real podcast if we don't. Um, but I think lately, like, not so
much that I'm like super into horror, but I essentially binge watched
all of the SAW movies, uh, I haven't seen Saw X yet. And, um, then we've also talked about, uh, the
IT movies, which I covered by myself, uh, back in like 2017 whenever the, the new remakes were coming
out. I did that by myself. But I think, I think I miss the conversations, just the camaraderie and
being able to go, yeah, did you see this thing in this movie?
And then we just have conversations. I miss what we used to have. So yeah, I don't think there's really any
specific topics other than like, those two things have
come up and I'm like, it would be fun to talk
about those if we can. We could have like, some sort of
like seasonal segment where like, like right now is like Halloween time. We could talk about some horror movies
mm-hmm. . And then, um, around Thanksgiving we could talk about whatever Thanksgiving movies
there are, there's like three. I was gonna say. There,
there's very, very small, like, not even a handful, it's like a
palm full of Thanksgiving movies. And, uh, and of course then there's
Christmas, which has like mm-hmm. a bajillion movies. And we could even do bad movie review
thing where we talk about a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie. Oh. Yeah, that would be great. See, David's
got ideas. I'm like, I don't care. I just won't talk about things. So, uh, I am really excited and I don't know
if anybody else listening is excited, is as excited as I am. Well, I'm sure John's
excited for us to come back. He better be 'cause uh, he. He's probably the only
one listening right now. Probably. But. That's, we might have one
or two holdouts there, but someone that, that never unsubscribed
to our feed and all of a sudden, whoa. What, what, what's this ? Yeah. Yeah. Um, I was
actually funny. So I was, I'm always like messing with
artwork and stuff like that, and I updated the geek, this artwork on our Facebook page. I'll get around to whatever
other platforms we're on, but Facebook is just
kind of easy. And, uh, probably an hour or two hours
later I get this message from John that's like, Hey, Dave, are
you just like, are you teasing me? Are you guys actually gonna do something
this time, ? And I was like, actually, we're recording tonight,
so we're doing something. But yeah, I thought that was funny. So I'm sure people are tired of
hearing about what we're gonna do. Um, let's talk about what
we've actually been doing. You listed a bunch of shows
that you just finished watching. I don't know, can you like, summarize kind of your feelings
of each of those shows Without spoilers, because I haven't
finished only murders. I had a very tired wife last night who
was not ready to watch that episode. Okay. Um, well, since you
brought up Only Murders, we can sort of talk about that
up to where you've seen, um. Right. I've seen, I've seen up to episode
nine. Yeah. I've seen up through nine. Yeah. Okay. So if, if you're listening to this,
you know, there might be some slight, I'll try not to do anything
too spoil or heavy. 'cause I don't want people to be
like, oh, that's who the killer is. I haven't watched anything.
I've really enjoyed this season. What about you? I. Was nervous because I was not a huge fan
of season two. Mm-hmm. , it was okay. But, uh, this season has, it's redeemed itself, and I just saw that they're
getting greenlit for season four. So I'm looking forward to season four. Paul Rudd was great in the
episodes that he was in. And Metal, they hate him. Meryl Streep, you know,
she's mm-hmm. fantastic. And, uh, yeah, a little bit of a
spoiler. Like, there is, there, there's musical parts to this
season mm-hmm. . Um, and I think today actually they
released like, the album for, for the musical. So. Cool. And like, I just, there's a song
that Meryl Streep does and like, I just wanna like, listen to it. Like
it's a legitimately good song. . Yeah. Yeah. I think she performs
that one in episode nine. I think it's the same one, maybe. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Speaking of the songs, Steve Martin kills it with his
patter song. Yeah. Which is, uh, just a great bit in the whole season. Uh, it makes me chuckle every
time I think about it. And every once in a while I'll like, walk into a room and I'll hear
Wendy trying to do it. . What, what, what else
have you been watching? Uh, what have we been, I've watched
a lot of YouTube videos. Um. Are you a talker? Yeah, we do that as a family. I always throw TikTok up on the
TV from my phone and just like, slide through things and
bunch of stupid stuff. But YouTube is not so much
stupid stuff. Like, we watch, uh, good Mythical Morning every day. And I've really been getting into
like, competitive eating videos. There's one particular
YouTube guy out there goes by Beard Meats, like as in like M E A T S, beard Meats food. He is from Leeds, England. And I don't know, he's, he's got this massive beard, but there's just something about
his personality that I love, and I've gotten to the point where I can
look at a dish and go, yep, you got it. Or, Nope, not gonna
make that one. But, um, I've also been getting
into like, iceberg videos. Have you ever seen an
Iceberg video before? Nope. I, I don't even know
what you're talking about. So this might actually be
something that would be fun to do. An actual iceberg is you, you're
only seeing the top of it. The, the secret about them is they're
usually a lot bigger and whatnot under the water. So the way that it generally
works is they break an iceberg of like, let's
say, Nickelodeon down. And what you can see above
the water, so to speak, is the stuff that you probably
know about. Like, when it started, and some of the first shows
were just a little trivia about Nickelodeon. But as it gets lower
and lower, deeper and deeper, it gets darker more disturbing.
And then you get into learning things about the guy
that made Drake and Josh and Victorious and, uh, I,
Carly and stuff like that. And find out that he's like a
weird kind of pervy dude with a teenage foot thing. Oh. So yeah. Yeah. Uh, I've been watching a lot of iceberg stuff
and some of it's disturbing. It, it, it doesn't have to be, but I find it so
interesting. It, it tickles that little, you know, that part of
your brain where like, you're watching the behind the scenes
videos, like on the D V D menu. Yeah. Like when we were younger,
where you're just like, oh, I love knowing how that's made. This is kind of the same thing
except you're like, oh God, I wish I didn't know that that was a thing
that existed in my favorite franchise or whatever. It's like almost in like the conspiracy
theory part of your brain where you're like, yeah. Oh, everything's awful. Yeah. I've been watching
one, um, on Serial Killers. It's been like a multiple video series,
and that's, that's been interesting. But, um, a lot of YouTube, a lot of, um, not really a lot of TV shows. Uh, as
a family. We've been watching mash, which is one of my favorite
older TV shows. Uh, and I think we're about halfway through, but that's a lot of
episodes to get through. And Mash is one that like I've always
wanted to watch mm-hmm. , uh, but I just, I never,
never had a chance to. Um, a while ago, Sabrina and I watched all
of Cheers mm-hmm. , um, and we watched all of, uh,
the Mary Tyler Moore show. Yeah. You know, just some of those
like old classic shows that, that we've wanted to
watch. Um, and then, uh, I watched all of Modern Family. Okay. . Uh, you know, I've been like looking at
shows that have won like a lot of Emmys mm-hmm. , and I'm like, well,
this is like a hole in my, in my, uh, library of TV viewing. Yeah. I see. That's something that
people may or may not know about you. You like to collect things. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I would
say I, I'm a sporadic collector. I'll get like, obsessed with collecting one thing
and then get like halfway through my collection be like, all right,
now I'm collecting this . And see, I'm not like that. Like, I
remember I remember years ago going, oh, I'm gonna start collecting pop vinyl. And I had like five of 'em. And then I
was like, they just sit here in boxes. I don't want to just look at
'em and I can't play with them. So then I like went to a, a local toy store and sold
them all for like 20 bucks. So I am not a collector. If
you walk into my office, like, I have like a bunch of like tabletop
role-playing game books over on a shelf. Uh, but the only thing I actually collect
is different electronic devices. I have way too many computers in
this office. Way too many monitors. I think I have, I have like
five monitors in this office. Not all of them being used, but
that, that's what I collect. I collect stuff that is
supposed to help me make things. Like I've got this, this
mid keyboard back here, and I do use it just not as much as
I'm sure Windy wishes. I used it. Like, I'm not a Grammy
winning music artist yet. So. Yeah. Dave. Yeah.
There's still hope. Yeah. Yeah. I'm only 36. Like. You're in your prime. That's right. That's right.
But yeah, I can see how, uh, like even when we've, we've
played board games together, you know, you're like, well this, this one, uh, I'm gonna let you say it because you're
married to a woman who's family is actually from Germany,
and I'm just a white guy. Oh, were you talking about the spi? Yeah. Thank you. I feel weird
saying it 'cause I'm like, I think I sound smart,
but I probably sound real. Dumb. I'm, I'm probably not saying that
correctly, but that's how I say it. I mean, you said it in front of
Sabrina and she hasn't hit you. So I, that counts for something to me. Uh, I think a big thing for me isn't even
necessarily like the collecting of things, but, um, I would say like, I like to collect experiences and part of that for me is of
things that other people have decided are the best. I, I like to experience those things. Makes sense. Yeah. So when it comes to like, board
games that have won awards or like, since my son was born,
I've been buying the whatever the New York Times bestsellers, like picture book is for the
week. Mm-hmm. , like, I've been buying those so that way he
can have a continual library of these like, books that have been
considered good. You know, even they're just picture books. So like, it's not like I'm buying him crazy
novels or anything, but Right. It. Just, I just, I just bought all of
the Game of Thrones books. . I expect him to read them now. Oh boy. Yeah. . There. It's the picture book version
of Game of Thrones. It's still just as, as naughty and violent, but it's for kids. No, we don't have that. But we do have
a picture book of, uh, God of War. But, but there's, that's fun. There's
nothing like gruesome in it. So I, I made sure of that. . My dad didn't buy that for me. Root. Um, I was gonna ask you something 'cause
it popped into my head and I was like, I can't talk to David
about this by myself. 'cause obviously I'm not
talking with David. Uh, have you seen any movies recently? I like, whether that's watching them at home or
going to the theater to see anything. I haven't been to the theater for a while. I was just at the theater. Um, but it barely counts because I took my
son to see, uh, the new Paw Patrol movie. . Um, and what do you
give it One outta five pause. You know, for being a, like a kid's
movie. It was pretty entertaining. Um, as a kid's movie, you know, it's
probably a four out of five. That's good. Yeah. That's. Good. He, he really enjoyed
it. So that's what counts. We'll just have to bring Ezra
on just for like a mini Sode. Just be like a five minute, if we
can hold his attention that long. Five minutes of like, what did you
think about this movie? Because I've, I've been lucky enough to go see a
couple movies with you in the theater. We what watched, um, super
Mario Brothers movie together. Yeah. That was, um, that was
ER's first ever movie. Yeah. That was good. I,
I wanna watch it again. I enjoyed that. It's on
Peacock now, isn't it? Yeah. But I don't feel like paying for. That. Yeah. I used to
have it and got rid of it. I'm so tired of paying for different
subscription services. Just hate it. I really do. Yeah. We, um, we recently canceled
our Max and, uh, a good, a good friend of mine, I won't
mention who, um, you know, gave me their password to use. A loser. He's gonna get in trouble. But then we, uh, canceled our Peacock.
Um, we canceled our Paramount Plus, uh, we're using, uh, good Friends Netflix until we get
kicked off because Netflix is, is really like
cracking down on that. Yeah. Supposedly Disney Plus is also
going to start doing the same thing. See, uh, Disney Plus and Hulu, that's the only streaming service that
we actually still pay for if you don't count Amazon Prime, because we pay
for our prime, so we get Prime video. Right, right. There's actually
some decent stuff on Prime. I watched a movie, uh, it's been a
few weeks ago. It was an okay movie, but I love the concept, um,
to the point that I'm like, going to use it for d and d as a, as a dungeon master running
a campaign or, you know, a few sessions. Uh, it
was a movie called Radius, and the concept is this guy wakes up, uh, after being, well, he wakes up,
he doesn't realize it until later. He starts having flashbacks, but he wakes up and realizes that anytime any person or animal comes
near him, they just die. And is super, like, if you
get a chance to watch it, uh, it's a little slow. Um, the acting's okay. But just the concept is really cool. And that's the only reason I would
recommend it. It was a decent one. What. Made you pick that to watch? Uh, it was just the, the
little trailer that they, that they had and just that
brief description of this guy wakes up and doesn't remember who he is, and all of a sudden anybody that gets
close to him dies. And, you know, that's hence the, the name Radius. But
like, it evolves from there and it's, it's very clever, kind of a
sci-fi kind of thing, but it's, it's like modern day sci-fi. Not, not like 31 97 in the
future. It's like, no, this takes place in like
2015, something like that. Uh, but it, it was just interesting. I'd never heard of any of the
actors or director or anything. I just all it on Prime. And I've
been going to prime a lot more to, to find those weird
kind of obscure movies. Not so much TV shows. I have
watched a couple decent TV shows. There's one called, I think it's
called The Consultant. Yeah, Christophe Waltz. He plays a consultant
named Regis Patov. Um, he's hired to improve the business
of an app-based gaming company, and employees experience new demands
and challenges that put everything into question, including their
lives. Not a great description, but I'm a huge Christophe
Waltz fan. Mm-hmm. Even though I can't
remember his name. But yeah, like he plays this very
sinister, like just, he shows up at kind of an
interesting time in this company. And, uh, it, it's really, it's just kind of a weird interesting
show. I think Prime is underrated. Like a lot of people just go, oh, well that's where you're gonna watch
Jack Ryan. Or you're gonna watch. See, I watched, uh, Lord of the Rings,
I watched, uh, the Boys on there. Yeah. That was a show I just kind
of dropped out of. It was like. It's. Obviously, I, I watched all the song
movies mm-hmm. . So like, there's not a lot that bothers me,
but I was like, it was just so, it was just too much. Yeah. I mean, it's a lot. Um, it's definitely not something
you can watch with the kids. But wait until the Kid's
Picture book comes out. . Yeah. I've enjoyed
it. I just started, actually, they just released like a spinoff
show of it called, uh, gen D. Yeah, I saw that. I watched the first couple
episodes and, um, I, I'm not sold on it. Um, and I'm not
sure I'm gonna keep watching it. Tone-wise. Like how does
it differ from the boys? Uh, it's, I mean, it's very
similar tone-wise. Okay. Uh, a little bit of a spoiler. Not really. 'cause you can probably get this
from like, the previews for it. Some of the powers for
these like college kids, it's kind of dark. So like, uh, one of the characters, she
like controls blood. Oh, she'll like cut herself.
Mm-hmm. to like, make herself bleed, sort of, you know, like kids dealing with like
self-mutilation and stuff like that. It's kind of yeah. A touchy
subject. And then, um, there's another character who he, um, has to make herself purge to make
herself smaller. Oh, okay. So she's like, Hmm. Like there are high
schoolers and college fan, I'm sure other adults too, um, who like binge and purge because
they have some self-image issues. Yeah. So she's actually
like making herself like, like think like Ant-Man
making herself smaller, except she has to purge to do
that. So it's taking these, um, serious things that young adults
and teenagers deal with and like turning them into like, almost
like normalizing them a little bit. Yeah. I can see where it's like,
that's really uncomfortable. I mean, especially like, if you've dealt with
that yourself, not saying that you have, I'm not saying that I have, that's like,
I'm not gonna put that out there. Uh, but even if you've known people
that have dealt with that, I could see how that would be really
hard to wrap your brain around. I haven't personally dealt with
that, or I don't think I, like, I, I probably do. Odds are I probably do know somebody that
has dealt with that that I just don't know. But, um, it's just,
I don't know. It's, um, it's not something I really think
I want to keep watching just 'cause it's uncomfortable. Yeah. Which is so weird. Like, it's not
weird that it makes you uncomfortable, but it's weird that that makes you more
uncomfortable than the boys because that is a very, like, it's so over the top, but I guess it's not as. I think I can deal with just
like douchey superheroes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I will just say from the
limited bit that I've watched, there have been some scenes with the
Deep that have made me be like, oh, I don't wanna understand. I don't
know why I'm still watching this. I'm so uncomfortable. What? You never wanna have
sex with a dolphin? Uh. You know, I can't say that I
have , so. Yeah. Um, Prime's, Prime's got weird stuff on
it. That's, that's how I look at Prime. Um, Hulu is like subpar Netflix, but they have some pretty solid
like TV shows and documentaries. Um, yeah, Hulu. Is what I use to watch more of the, like, the current shows that are
like on, you know, 'cause like, like they have only murders in the
building and mm-hmm. , um, what we do in the Shadows. And I, I was watching how I Met Your
Father until that was canceled you most, a lot of the like, week by week shows are either
on there or on Disney plus. Yeah. I've been pretty
absent from Disney Plus for, for a while. Every once in a while
something will come on and I'll be like, yeah, that's cool. Uh, Loki
season Two's coming out, which we've talked
about covering that. Um, but I'm looking forward to
that. Uh, but I didn't watch, um, and or I started watching it.
I've heard it's fantastic. Um, it just, I think it was more
the time of day I was watching. I was like turning it on like first thing
in the morning. Mm-hmm. , like, I get up at like 6:00 AM and then I
have a couple hours before I start work. So I like to just decompress before I have to be compressed . Um, and I haven't watched any of
Asoka. I've heard some good things. Um, but yeah, nothing's really
caught my attention on Disney Plus. I've watched a lot of Bluey though. Yeah. Bluey iss the best. Uh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if there's anything
specific that you want to talk about. I think we're just, you know, we're both really excited to be
able to start talking again about geeky things. Yeah. Uh,
maybe one time we will, you know, sit down and play a board game and just
record our conversation while we play. That. Would actually be fun.
We, we tend to have some, they're pretty geek this
style conversations, um, while playing board games, at least
when it's like my family or your family. Yeah. But yeah, like, we're glad to be back behind microphones
talking together on the show. And of course we, we definitely want
any input that you guys have. And Facebook is kind of the big place
that you can get in touch with us, leave comments, uh, as we
share things, share the show, that kind of stuff. If you're on some
other social media platforms, let us know. And I, I think we've got an Instagram
that I started but never committed to. And then there's threads because I don't
like what used to be called Twitter. I, I, I only use x to get,
like, this sounds funny, but like Fast Food news. So like, I list, I subscribe to all the, the different
X feeds I guess they're called. I don't know. Uh, I, all
the fast food restaurants, I subscribe to them and then go through
and see like when there's something new. Yeah. That's, that's a good idea. I just, I have opinions about it. , . Yeah. I see. I stay off of like the trending page
and stuff like that. Like I just mm-hmm. , I want to see what I
wanna see and I don't really care to see the trash that's on there.
And there's a lot of it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Now, if they were ever, if they ever
got to the point where they're like, you have to pay to use this, I'm
like, yeah, I'm out. . My, I I deleted it from my
phone, which, uh, I really, I don't delete apps as often as
I probably should. But yeah, I, it was even before that they announced
the name change. I was just like, nah, I can't do this anymore.
It makes me anxious and my
medication doesn't fix that. But, um, yeah. So please
go tell people we are back. Let us know what you want
us to talk about. Uh, it's gonna be a lot of the same
stuff. Probably not as many, like comic book focused conversations, just because neither one of us
have a ton of time to just down and read a comic book. But if you have
a special request, I'm up for, you know, taking the time to find
those books and read them so we can have. Conversation. We might, uh, dive into, like if we're talking
about a certain topic, then maybe we will like
talk about some like, background comics. You know, say we're talking about Spider-Man and
we want to reference like certain comic books, we might do that. But as far
as like keeping up to date on like, the current comic books
that are coming out, Dave and I just don't
have the time or money. I think at some point, like if,
if time allows, I would love to, um, revive the Cape Gauntlet. That was actually a project
that I really enjoyed doing. Um, it allowed me to do some of the things
that I don't get to do in my everyday life, which is Right. Something,
you know, like a script, do research and just pour over
factoids and things like that. Those are things that I love to do. And maybe at some point we can get
that going again, but no guarantees. But if there is something
from the past, you know, between 2012 and 2020,
I'm gonna say, yeah, 2012 and maybe 2019. If there's something
that you like, that you're like, Hey, this is a great segment, do this
again. Just let us know. Uh, on film, uh, is kind of, it still exists, but
it's probably gonna be under this now that's called, or what is
it called again? . Oh. Uh, now this is franchising
It, it's a play on, um, star Wars episode one, the Phantom
Menace. Um, when Anakin says, now this is podcasting. You mean pod racing? Po. Pod racing. Yeah. ,
well, it's getting late, but. This is podcasting. It, it's past eight o'clock . Grandpa's gotta go to bed. Actually, this is like when I would normally
start getting pumped up every other week to record the other podcast
for, you know, three hours. So, . But, um, yeah. Thank you guys
so much for listening to the episode. Thanks David. For like, pushing me to
bring this back. I've wanted to do it, but I I didn't want to do it without you. We're, we're, we're back
for real this time. That's. For real. And if we're not our. Tagline for real this time. for real, this time? No, really . Really. Uh, I'm, I'm excited. Let's see if we can get another decade
under our belt of this show that's actually filled with content. But,
um, yeah, give us a couple weeks. We're gonna, we're gonna do our best to record on
a regular basis and remote recording is just gonna help so much
with that, don't forget, you can go over to geek this
podcast.com. It still exists. It has existed for the
last 11 years. And, uh, you can subscribe on any platform
that you listen to podcasts on. Uh, we need to come up with some
sort of like sign off tagline. Yeah. You know what, we should,
we should run a contest. We need a tagline to close out the show. Uh, if you submit the best one, you
win a prize. I don't know what that is. I may spring in, you know, uh, buy you like a one-off geek
this shirt, or, I mean. Wouldn't stickers a prize just be being
able to hear their tagline every week? Oh, well that's free, so Sure.
. I'm kidding mind. But I mean, they. Can do something. Else too, don't mind. Yeah, we can,
we'll figure something out for you. Let us know on social media what
you think the new, uh, tagline, uh, closing of the show should
be. And we'll figure it out. But until then, uh, we love you all. Each and every one of you, like you're
our own children. Or at least dogs, maybe cats. No, I don't like cats
at all. , sorry. You do, you can be David's cats and my dogs. I mean, I, I I have a
dog too and I love Oh. That's right. You do have a dog.
Anyway, this is how much we hang out. We're. . We're getting off topic. We,
we were closing the show. Okay, we're leaving. Alright.
Thanks so much for listening. We'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye.
