Really to be honest, it's not special. It just special goes with Sunday. So there we go. And my guest tonight is a Dr. Dad from the Unboxed Docs. Danny, this guy, we became friends way back in 2013 in Charlotte, North Carolina for because of the infamous shardicon that was one and done. Sadly, very sad. Well, such a fun con. And I think I met you guys beforehand. Didn't you work? You all gathered around one day and I showed up at Retro Reboot. And that's kind of how we were at. Yep. Yep. We're at Jacob's store. And that was when we first met and we were all excited about, you know, going to the con and doing that whole spiel. So that's because I didn't know there was others like me, you know, I kept all this stuff hidden. I was like, man, nobody needs to know that I'm at the time. God, how old was I then? 40? Yeah, I was like, I was good eight, eight years ago, right? Yeah, it was, it was. I remember that because that was our last free summer before Dylan showed up. Because little did we know he was at shardicon too. And my little Robin was there, man. We had kids not far back to back. I remember because we had the following month, the German, what would we call it, the daddy shower at that German restaurant? Yep. Yep. Trying to remember where we went. That's a great place too. Out in Pineville. I cannot remember the name of it, but yeah. Oh, I know it was a lot of beer and a lot of meat. Oh yeah, man. It was a good time. Well, how are you doing tonight? We got a couple of people watching us right now. Yeah, doing great, man. I can't complain. Excellent. And I was just talking to Matt Baldwin. You're going to be on his show Tuesday. Yes, sir. So we're going to get you all over the place now. You have teamed up with the right people. And I just gotta know, has the thumbnail trick worked? Have your views went up a little bit? I feel like it has. Definitely a little bit of intake on there. Yeah, I appreciate it. And they're not terrible to make. Just a little bit of extra time, but it's enough that's worth it. Yeah, because when I first started, my thumbnail was always back there in the back, MP01 holding that American flag. And it took up most of my thumbnail. I mean, every video I did, there was prime holding that American flag, and just a little image of the figure I was reviewing. Who it was told me says you need to drop your logo down because that's all we see. Every video looks like you're reviewing that figure. So you know, I got with the whole idea and the logo and the American flag thing and I've rolled with it and it worked. Yeah, no, dude, your logo is awesome. And like the whole setup that you have, like the differences, like in the different types of videos you do, it's very noticeable. Oh, thank you. And I have no idea where I came up with the green grid for Toy Hacks because nothing Toy Hacks does has a green grid. Just went with what goes with it, right? Yeah. Exactly. Well, who we got? We got David, Vinnie, Elite, SlowDK, Silver, Tiamat, love that name, Dungeons and Dragons fan right there, and Chauncey, 11 people spending their Sunday night with us. I guess they're watching us instead of the Oscars. Yeah, true, true. My wife's watching the Oscars right now. So that's what Dr. Mom's doing. Well, I was almost late to this. I told you I found the new TV show to watch. We just recently got Discovery Plus. Oh, yeah. And first off, I was real excited because all of Mythbusters is on there. All the band versus food, all the shows I used to watch. And then I realized that Adam Savage had a new build show. Yeah, all day. Yeah, Adam did that one not long after, I think it was a couple of years after the Mythbusters and it's really neat. So you've seen a good number of episodes. I guess I finished all whatever seasons up there. The last one was the Iron Man suit. Yeah, that was the Iron Man suit. Yeah, it was so awesome, man. And the fact he was flying. It was so cool. Well, Trolley's just hopped on. Kato just hopped on. We got a pretty good group here. So first off, for those of you who don't know, if some of Danny's friends are in the chat who have no idea who I am and what this is, my Sitrep series is a series of 10 questions I have for my guest, 10 questions regarding him as a Transformers collector and 10 or five questions as a Transformers collector and five questions as a YouTuber. So got confused my own thing here. So starting off, why don't you tell my people a little bit about you because you're not specifically a Transformers channel. That's correct. I'm majority an unboxing channel. Transformers is my background and my beginning. And from there, it just like expanded into, like other geek things, right? So like, I did GIGAs and stuff like that. And then they started creating the unboxing stuff, right? So like the loot crates came out and things like that. And what interested me to begin with were shirts. So like, this is actually a loot crate shirt. And it's an octopus promise. It just doubles, you know, like, I'm like, you don't get better than landing in a new hobby and getting something from your old hobby. That's still great. So started up with that. And then it was the fact that I'm like, you know, I majority primarily wear t-shirts when I wasn't in my, you know, nine to five job. And they always had these neat shirts. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to get these boxes just for, you know, just for the t-shirts. Everything else is fodder. I either get something good or not. Deadliest Warrior is also a great show. That was looking all over for that. That's not a Discovery Plus, though. Yeah. The bounty hunter show as well, by the way. A battle boss bounty hunter was pretty good. And that's it. There's a ultimate dodgeball on there. It's called Dodgeball Thunderdome. Oh my God. I'm going to have to check that out. Yeah, Discovery Plus as anyone in our status should. So yeah. So back to the unboxing. So, you know, I started doing the unboxing stuff and I've been doing it. Oh man. I was doing it before, before Sharkon. So I've been doing unboxings for like eight years. I just never decided to put it on camera. And after a while, I was like, you know, I open, you know, I open like eight or nine different boxes. I was like, I might as well. I have more than enough boxes that I open in a month to shoot enough videos so I keep people interested. And what's cool is you involve the whole family. Oh yeah, man. The kids, they're all about it. Like, you know, Dr. Rome, Dr. X, my boys, they've been all about it. I posted a video on there called one of the first unboxings. And it's them when they were really little and they were unboxing some Transformers Rescue Box, the Dino Rescue Box. So that's a fun video that I have out there. Just something random from when they were kids. And then I have another one that I'll eventually have to pair it down. It's like 35 minutes of them breaking into like one of those little like Treasure X where you'd like pickaxe through all the stuff to pull out the little pieces. Oh yeah, Dylan got one of those. Yeah. And they're super messy and it takes forever to get through it. So I'm like, that'll be a, I'll eventually pair that down to something that I'm going to Dylan had one of those. And I finally got bored, watched him, went back and got one of my hammers. And I said, he used this. I hear you. Yeah. And I let him dig through it the whole time and it was just little. So it was just something we always thought about doing and then just never pull the trigger on, you know, and then a couple of years ago, you know, good old pandemic and stuff happens and you're like, I need a new hobby. And I got to give your son mad props because how old is he? And he tried this 13. Yeah. Dr. X is 13 and he hated life two seconds after putting that in his mouth. Yes, he did. And then he did it in such the hardest way, like we had to break it up and then he ate individual pieces instead of trying to put it all in at once. That's horrible. Yeah. He drank a liter of yogurt afterwards. And like we got drinkable yogurt and he like killed it off and then was still like in pain for a good little bit. I was amazed. Chocolate milk is my go-to. I had that. I mean, that just wipes it out immediately. But I've done it and I know that if you can suffer through that first five minutes, you're good. Yeah. Yeah. That's all it takes. That's just to dissipate. Yep. We got a couple more people on. Awesome. Here he is, fire talks. Every time I show up, he sees that damn chip. That chip will haunt you from forever. Oh, man. You were on with him when he was telling the story about running back to the hotel bathroom and went to throw up in the toilet and the toilet was more pissed than toilet. Yeah. Apparently, transformer fans cannot hit the ball. Oh, man. And they don't always know how to take a shower either. I mean, he just came back from a con recently. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. I know. I guess that was the one benefit of TF Con in Baltimore. We had to wear masks so he didn't smell the phone. There you go. I remember when we went to Shardicon and my wife walked in that door the first day, she walks right in and was like, nope. Couple reasons why she couldn't handle the smell. That's how we just didn't know of all of them. Yeah, I know. That was a good time though. We went back to my room that first night and we had Daniel Ross and John Bailey with us. That was really cool. That was awesome. Look what they've done now. I know, right? It's crazy. It's crazy and it's awesome, man. I mean, I love them for it. They definitely, they hustle hard and they deserve it. All right. We've been 10 minutes talking about random stuff. Let's go ahead and get into the sit rep and we'll start with Teran's former questions first is number one, what's the appeal of transformers for you? Oh, man. Good question. Easy answer actually. It's the whole multiple toy situation. It's not just one toy. It's a minimum of two toys. In some cases, when we had the six changers, it was six toys. You didn't need many of them to have a lot of fun. With just two of them you had more than enough to do stuff with. Then of course, I grew up while the cartoon was going on. That cartoon was everything for us and it just made me want all of them. That's pretty much what it came down to. A daily 30 minute commercial. That's right. That's right. That made me want everything for sure. See, I didn't have the TV show. A lot of people lived in the city. I could only watch the cartoon show if I came visit my grandparents here in town. My generation one was Marvel Comics. That was almost as bad as the cartoon show. They just introduced figures per issue and you're like, I need to get that one now. Of course, it's Marvel Comics fault that bludgeons and thunder wings are so expensive. That's crazy. All right. Well, aside from generation one, which is always the number one answer, what's your favorite Transformers fiction? I got a couple and it's kind of hard to pair down. Animated was one of my favorites when it came around, as well as the Prime series. The Prime series, I felt I was really invested into the Prime series. It could have just been because I was older as well. It's kind of towards geared very much towards us. But Animated, I don't know what it is about their style. Even the figures that came out of that series and then the way it was rolling. I always regret we did not get, was it a season three? We didn't get that one. They were going to introduce our big boss, Omega Supreme, was going to be part of the season three line. If I remember correctly, they ended it at season two. It was a fairly decent ending. It ended right there, which is, I could accept that into that story, but yeah, it could have went on. Oh, man. Well, I mean, they introduced Omega Prime and then Omega Sentinels at the end of, yeah. I was completely expecting another season because do you know how much money they would have made if they were released at Omega Supreme and Omega Sentinel? Oh, man, they would have murdered it. It would have been great. Now did Cybertron, Cybertron came out before Animated, right? Because I remember it had the giant figures like it had that giant star screen. Yeah. Yeah. Cybertron was the end of the Armada trilogy. Okay. Yeah. That was that era where I wasn't really watching the shows and I was getting the figures here and there, but I just wasn't that invested in them. I didn't really start getting really, really back into the figures until the siege line because when I started collecting again, my main focus was G1. I got you. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Another series, man, that really stands out for me too is Beast Wars. The writing for Beast Wars is off the charts. Some of the best in my opinion, like when it comes to the whole series of Transformers. Dinobot, like I mean, he was like a poet. I mean, you know what worked best for that series is it kind of sucked when you were collecting the toys because your new figure never showed up in the show. But the fact the show said, all right, we're all have 10 people on this side, 10 people on this side. That's it. Yeah. It was one of their newest new characters. They just killed off the others. Yeah. They had to keep it in budget, right? They're like, we only have enough to make this many characters on screen. So that's what we have to keep it to. Inferno, buy hands down my favorite Beast Wars. Yeah. So you did a review on that guy, man. Yeah. And then I just got this fella. Oh, yeah. Nice. And I just read right before I reviewed him, I went back and rewatched the two series he was in or the two, the two episodes he was introduced in. Yeah. Man, Inferno, man, his die hard, you know, loyalty. I love it. You know, it was almost sound waves, but just completely, you know, comedic, right? Like sound waves undying loyalty, but just in the most comedic fashion possible. So, and then just some of the mannerisms of that show, Megatron, like when he's petting his arm. Yeah. There you go. Pressure in the teeth. Yeah. Yeah. You know, just like, just those little subtle things that they call out. And then, you know, it was just all around great show. So yeah, kind of hard to choose one after G1. I mean, G1 being the base, but then there are several standouts. I, Armada, like the trilogy wasn't fun for me, but the toys from the trilogy, to me, were some of the best. I love gimmicks. Yeah. And, you know, especially a lot of G1ers don't really like the latter year after the movie Transformers. But man, I loved Power Masters and Headmasters and Target Masters. Yeah. Like I just recently reviewed this guy, you know, you're only one way he turns into a robot rolling backwards. He turns into the truck. I've never had this before. And that's what's so cool. Oh yeah. No, those are definitely neat. The spark bots, all those things, all the little gimmicky stuff like that is great. But like when it came to the model line, I immediately was drawn to the minicons. At one point, I had every minicon, including like those one, like, you know, they're all like this big, it was a dragon. And I cannot remember his name, but he was like super limited. I mean, when I sold them, I sold them for like $700. Like he was super hitting me. I'm not one little guy, that big. Yeah. And a lot of those sets, man, when they first came out, like Japan went crazy with them at every event. So you can get your hands on, you know, one of them. I had a lot of different sets. Of course, I never bought any of those back then. I got like a bunch of little three packs. And I got just a few minicons lying around. They were part of my mass transformer purge in 2011. Oh yeah, I see. Some of the first stuff that I sold as well was because they would go. Like I had the, they did, Japan did a DVD line. It was the Armada DVD line or Energon DVD line. And they had individual packages as well as some of them that came with three, but they created like the shield and Perceptor. And it was like a pack of 13, man. And those were super, again, some of the, you know, they were pretty rare. They were exclusive to Japan. And a lot of those little sets of three that came like special from like Toys R Us or whatever, they were like, they would go for like 50 bucks a piece. It was crazy. But yeah, I had, I had them all at one point. I was well over 700 minicons or something like that. It's a huge line of just like all the little guys and all the repaints. I was into Armada that much. Because to me, just in my mind, I thought all the Autobots were very play schoolish. They were all kind of chunky and brightly collared. Now they were the bonds are awesome. I love the jets and the jets were badass. The jets have always been badass. Let's be real, right? Like, yeah, the Armada jets were great though. So one of my favorite moles next to our classic mold actually, especially with the double shoulder cannons. Like, yeah, they would, they would like to hold the wings out for swords that I guess it was only one wing, but that was one wing, one wing for the sword. But yeah, so yeah, they definitely had a neat setup the way they were built. And then they each had their own race car minicon that would unlock the double cannons. And when I got Skywarp, because you know, normally the, the seekers, the three are always just recallers and you got Skywarp that had that crest and the face plate and like, all right, that's a badass. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, man, they did it well. They did it well. So yeah, that series was neat. I think it was the Cybertron where they were able to combine. So like, you know, you can combine randomly two of the figures and several of them, like there were, there were ones that were made for each other to combine. Like they, they made the figure that you would find in the show that you can combine other ones together as well. There was a Kmart set that I bought that I absolutely loved. It was prowl. And I forget what the other one was, but they were both collared the same way, black and white. I think it was prowl and inferno may have been the ones that joined together. It might have been if I'm not mistaken, because pro was probably trucking that one. No, he was some kind of in the, in the police car. He's, they look like drag as a police car. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm trying. I can't remember which one that was. But yeah, I know what you're talking about, man. They definitely primal. Yeah. Um, it was a, it was definitely an interesting setup. Like I like the toys definitely more than I like the show though. That was reaching back for the, what's funny, you got multiple, a few years later, they went to the computer generated cartoon as well. And that newer computer generation cartoon looked worse than Beast Wars. Very much so. I never, yes. Enter John Rodimus was a truck. Oh, there we go. Yeah. He was at, he kind of almost looked like a tow truck. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. But I could never get into the enter John. I could never get into Cybertron. I just did not like that animated style. And that's what pushed me off on, uh, animated as well. I started watching it. And remember when you first watched animated, there was that opening scene that had the G1 style artwork. Yeah. Oh my God. And then it went that cartoony style. I'm like, what the hell? Yeah. Yeah. It was wild, but it took, I remember not liking animated when I first started watching it. It took a couple episodes for me to like get into it. It was the end of season one where Megatron finally got freed, where that show decided to say, Hey, the adults are watching this, not the kids. I mean, it starts off with Blitzwing freezing, ratchet's hand and breaking it off. Yeah. Megatron forming up. It's like, okay, I like this. Oh yeah. It was definitely, it was a good one, man. I liked the way they did it. Um, I like I said, I wish I would continue. There's a couple of GI Joes like that too. GI Joe Renegades, which had very few transform, like very few GI Joes in them. Like the main guys, was that the one over commander, like have the half face like this? Yeah. Yeah. That ended just as it got good. Exactly. And that was due to like, I think one of the main writers died. They're not mistaken. Yeah. And that's why that show just ended because it was, it was going places, man. Like they had just gotten back in the fold with, with Flint and the rest of the team. Like they decided that they work. Desko finally came Desko and then Cobra commander got his face and then it was over. Sad, man. It was sad because it was great. It was like one of our last Joesuit. And you know, that's, that's what sucks about being a science fiction fan too, because it never fails. It feels like whatever science fiction show you start watching, once it gets good, they've already canceled it because no one was watching it. Yeah. There's a, I didn't watch Firefly, but everyone I know is like, Firefly is one of those shows where it was getting really good and it just went away and everyone was like, I still want it back right now. Well, I remember back in the 80s, like everybody knows I'm a huge V fan. Yes. And I snapped a picture the other day and somebody saw this in the background and thought it was a swastika. I'm like, no, Google some things. Yes. And so I remember in the 80s, the original V television show ended on a cliffhanger. And I just discovered recently on Tubi that they had the 2009 V series. And I thought, I never got into that when it came out because I was such a diehard, original 80s V fan. I didn't like how this one went. So I got to watching it and I'll be damned if this one didn't get canceled on a cliffhanger too. I always feel that shows should have an out clause. Like if you know an advance you're being canceled, you should be given a final episode. Wrap up everything. I think every show should go to that. If I was to make a show and I'm signing the contract and listen, if I get canceled, I want to have a final episode air. So we can give closure. There's so many shows that end like that. Spider-Man 2099 was one of them. I think it was 2099 or unlimited. Spider-Man Unlimited. It ends with a major cliffhanger where you're expecting a big war to happen in the next season and there's nothing. So many shows, man. I can probably make a big list of that. That's another video for another time. Oh yeah. Yeah. Slow DK's right. I was on there today just surfing. I have seen so many old shows and old movies that are in my watch list right now. Oh yeah. I can imagine. Neurotomus agrees, man. To be something else. When I first heard of them, I was like, okay, they had the old Transformer episodes. They had old GI Joe, but now they're just getting everything. It's very true. Some of it's hard watch. You say, man, I love that as a kid. You're 15 minutes in, like it doesn't work anymore. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. All right. Where we are. Question number three at 20 minutes in. Do you have a favorite figure in your collection, a grail, a figure you would never get rid of? Oh man. So do the fact that I just pared down and I'm only keeping sound waves and blasters. Really? Yeah. So when we first met, I had a room very similar to yours. I did all Detals. I had probably nine Detals slam packed with everything and then the tops were covered. I had pictures on the wall. I had figures on the wall. I mean, I had well over a thousand plus Transformers before I started paring it down. But after you collect so much, man, then you know, I had two kids. So I had to give up a room. So that's all Lisa said. We can't have another one. Yeah. There you go. So I was like, all right, if I had to start selling things off, what's not going to get sold ever? And it happens to be just everything sound waves and sound blaster or sound. Are you going to go for sound waves and blasters that resemble their G1? Oh, yeah. Are you good for any incarnation? So I have some of the other ones like the animated and I have like Cybertron version, but the G1 mold is definitely my favorite. I have sound wave in G1. I have his shattered glass that was made by e-hobbies. That's the exact G1 mold just completely white. I have, I even have like, you know, the sound waves that I know are not going to go far. Like the Lincoln Park sound wave that will probably end up just shattering into just, you know, gold dust at some point. What was that God awful ugly one that just came out? It was yellow. The J Blavin? Yeah, I guess. The Tiger Stripe one? Yeah. I have no idea who that is. I have it. Like, I had to pick them up, right? I was like, it's sound wave. And I said, that's what I'm keeping. So yeah, by far, sound wave will be the last figure if I ever get rid of it. I have both the TRU and the Takaris Masterpiece versions because red eyes, yellow eyes. Yeah. You know, I had to get both of those. I have Sound Blaster because he came with, he came with Radbat. Yeah. So when it comes down to it, I even picked up like, I do the tapes as well. So like, I even picked up the two bumblebees that came out, like the garage bumblebees. They did the Camaro and the B and it came with the Dino cassettes. Yeah. I missed out on that. I almost bought one. And they were like $50 at GameStop. And the guy's like, nobody's ever interested in transformers. I'll let you know when this thing gets unclear. I'll be damned. He calls me next day. Somebody come in and bought it. Oh man. Nobody ever buys transformers in my area. I hear you. You're probably causing an uptick in transformers in your area. Probably. I actually bought this. It was, that's the same bumblebee, but this is the premium finish. Yeah. I didn't even take him out of the box yet. I've had him for a couple of weeks now. Open him up. And I don't see why he's a premium finish. He's a tall figure. He just, I almost missed something somewhere. But yeah. So I picked them up just for the tapes. So I got them, took the tapes out, took the weapons out, sold the figures. I'm like, I do not need these bumblebees ever. And I could probably get more for the tapes than I can the figure. So if I ever do have to sell out the tapes, the tapes will bring it enough because they're the dinosaur tapes, you know, and there's only four of those. And they combined, right? Yeah. They're like Beast Box and Squawk Talk and all those guys. Those are the only four that I'm missing. Beast Box and Squawk Talk? Well, no, you know, the originals, we had, we had a Beast Box and Squawk Talk and the G1 line. But yeah, so those are the only four that are missing. I never went with the third party tapes. I did pick up Sonicron back in the day, BTS Sonicron, which was their version of Soundwave. And he's like a full cassette deck, like, like the, not like the one you're talking about. Like the speaker attachment almost. It wasn't, didn't they have a rumble and frenzy that were the headphones? No, no, they did all just the tapes as well. And they did like a construct a concept of the tapes. They did several different tapes and Sonicron itself was horrible. He broke upon transformation. So I never transformed him. I left him. He's still in the box. And then I got all the tapes that went along with him. And I was like, I have them just in case I ever, you know, decide that they're worthy enough to like pull out and display. But because they can't transform, I just leave them all in the boxes. You know, you know, yeah, some of that situation. So it's definitely Soundwave hands down. I would actually get rid of my Blaster before Soundwave. Just because Soundwave is my overall like, I would, I would align with the Decepticon clan because of Soundwave. Well, you just answered question number five, I can skip that one. And he was all about the voice. I remember it being a kid. And when you're in the floor playing with your transformers, you had Soundwave, you tried to do the voice as best as you could. I even bought some sound like some, some software at one point to try to replicate the voice like the reverb and everything. And it's so hard because it's, well, one, unless you know how to change all those numbers yourself, I just kept trying, kept trying to like gave up, you know, it was like, well, those things I only had so much attention for. So I mean, in the side of the chat and you're talking about shows that got canceled early and bringing out the Mike Young He-Man, the 2000 He-Man, that was an amazing series that just have that on the list to watch. So I have all on DVD and you can't find those anymore. Nice, nice. Yeah, I have all of the transformers. You know what? I did not, the work for Savatron, I mean, it was okay. That's how we all start talking about that. Well, it's all right. They tried, they tried, right? I guess they don't have like, I don't know why they can't dig up the original is, does somebody own it? Because if I'm not mistaken, it was copyrighted and that's why we didn't see it. What, the voice? Yeah. The reverb? The reverb? Yeah, I think there's something to do with that, that they're not pulling out the exact one. Like, come on, that's easy. They should be able to pull that off any, without anything, but they don't. And I want to say there's something behind it, but I do not- I think Hasbro would have it because that voice is what he sounds like in the Bumblebee movie, unless something happened between them and- Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, so then, you know, why aren't they using it? They should just always use it. Like, there's no need to change Sonoi's voice ever. Yeah, I mean, it's this. Yeah, there's your freebie for tonight. Yeah. Yeah, it was exact same voice because I remember that moment in the theaters when I was like- Yeah, oh yeah. No, definitely. That's, uh, yeah, no, that's the best voice, man. I, um, I, uh, I think the latest one that I picked up was the, the Worf Cybertron, the Netflix Worf Cybertron. Do you find one of those? Yeah. My podunk area was constantly getting stopped. Yeah, I wish I would have noticed that. I think I hit up every one of my tight friends or transport collectors. Hey, I'm at Walmart. There's three more of them, you guys. I don't want- Oh, man. Yeah, I would have been for it. Yeah, that's a great figure. So I picked up both of them, uh, that one and then the regular line that, you know, turns into the gun. So, like, you know, the Netflix turns into the cassette deck like it should. Yeah. But, uh- Did you get the little core class sound wave? No, I did not. I said- That's, if you can- I'll, if, if you haven't had one, if I go to my Walmart again, there's like four of them just, they're shelf warming from Christmas time. Okay. Yeah. All savers one left. Yeah. All right. Well, number four, what figure is your white whale, your most wanted toy? Oh, man. So- Yeah, I'm looking for these questions. What would I- Okay. So, it is, uh, from our pretender line, um, and it's the Japanese version of, uh, microman- uh, the, uh, of, uh, instructor, uh, whose name is Dino King. So, Dino King, which is the repaint of my instructor for, uh, for the pretender line, one that I never got my hands on. So, it's one that just completely eluded my collection in general. And, um, it was due to, of course, by the time I was in, in the state to get it, they, they were very expensive. And I was like, hmm, I can't justify that, that plastic money. I remember back when, uh, the original monstructor hit the shelves, that being the last transformer I ever bought was Ice Pick. Oh, wow. It was just one of those, I was at that age where I still liked the transformers. I still read the comics, but you don't want to be seen buying toys, you know. And I remember, I was, I worked at a grocery store, and a grocery store was next door to a department store that had the toys and, uh, arcade. And we'd always, after schools, when I worked, but like my shift wouldn't start until 430, get off school, I'd always hang out the arcade until it was time to go to work. And I remember walking through, looking at the transformers, and I thought, well, at least that one looks cool. And I remember picking him up and it was like, well, he's kind of embarrassed to buy it. No. That was the last transformer I ever bought. Oh, wow, man. Yeah. I remember being in college. And now. Yeah. I remember being in college when the RID series was out. And I really liked the Galvatron and Megatron figures, because, you know, they were the ones that, uh, they had the multi-change to them. Is that, is that the RID series where he did the multi-change? He had the wings. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, I remember going into my toys or us, uh, when I was working at GameStop and ran across the street to the toys or us, man. And I was like, this is what I'm buying. Like, yeah, it was just something that, you know, while I was in high school and college, I had them, just no one ever really knew, you know? Like, there was no one to tell. Yeah. When he comes out next year, he's gonna be being reviewed anytime soon. Yeah. But his tank Megatron, right? I had to get him. Megatron, I'm like, with your sound waves, how I am with Megatron. I got you. I still say that, uh, you know, they did the shock wave for the SDC crossover, SDC crossover. And if they were going to make a transforming his tank, it should have been shock wave. Shock wave fits that his tank way better than Megatron. In the Devil's Do series, do you remember reading that? I did not. I think Optimus Prime was a his tank. I remember the Seekers, the Seekers and the Rattlers, Megatron stayed a gun because Cobra Commander kept him locked to his side. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Prime was a his tank in the Devil's Do series. That would be neat. And if that is, that would be such a great obscure repaint, right? Like that would, it would make sense to do it. You got the bold now, right? You might as well retool it. Well, I mean, if they're going to do wild repaints, I found out when I was reviewing this guy, when I did some research, he was originally going to be a military camo green recolor and he was going to be General Optimus Prime. Oh, neat. They scrapped that. Oh, yeah, for sure. Prime was one of those figures, man. The MP11 was one of the moles that I almost went after all of them. At one point, I had a couple of the babes. Like, the great thing was I had a contact down in Japan. So like when, yeah, that's the beauty of being a toy seller, right? The people you meet. So having a personal contact in Japan that I could reach out to and say, this is coming out. I need it. And they can go get it for you and you don't have to pay all the crazy extra to get it. Was great. So like I had the babes and Jay Lee. Thanks. Yeah, that's awesome. Oh, the Red Hiss. There you go. Yeah. So like having the babe figures in the MP11 mold, I mean, those were going for crazy money and I was getting them at retail price plus shipping, you know, overseas shipping. So that was a beautiful time, man. And because I was a mold guy, like, what's one of my favorite moles is a Cybertron scatter shot, the cyber defense, where he has the two big, like, you know, he's got the arm cannons. If you look at the Cybertron defense series. I've got the drop shot. Is it drop shot? The kind of hand? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've got that mold. He had several. Yeah. So drop shot of things that Decepticon version of that mold. And then he was also part of the 2009. It was flack, I want to say 2009. Botcon, where they did the animated, oh, not animated line. It was the wings of honor. I think it was the animated line. He was used in there. That mold was used in there as well. And like TFU info, man, that's where I lived when it came to what figure I was going to buy next. I was like, okay, well, I like this mold. So go to TFU info and find out who else was in that line. And now you can actually use, it's the other good guy, Transformersland. Matt over at Transformersland, his database has grown tremendously. And you can see mold reassignments there as well. So those were sites that I would go to. Classics bumblebee. I have still that I need to, that I'll eventually sell. I have probably where they made nine or 10 of those. And then thanks to a Zim over at Renderform, he made all the different heads for like Goldbug and a couple of the other figures. So I bought several of those heads and swapped so many of those molds out. Like I have, yeah, so Cliffjumper, bumblebee, then you have Goldbug. I have one from Jason, Gare-Roy Robot. He did a help cap. And he repainted it with like a cherry red. And I wanted an auction on eBay. So yeah, so you know, like I got a bunch of those, man. It was just one of those, one of those figures where I- Do you still have your Get Right Robot Shark Decon? I have both. I have the general and that one, as well as one that I still need to paint myself. That I bought the kit for and I have, I have a bulkhead. I just never did it. But yeah, oh yeah, my Shark Decon stuff, even though I pared down none of that's going anyway, right? Like can't get that up. Like that's, I was part of that, right? I brought that to life. I was part of that. So that's where I gotta hang out forever. The name of the channel now. Yeah, yeah. I mean, dude, it's so great to see that, you know? Like knowing that I had a part in that. That's like awesome. And I'm like, you know, so- One of these days, we've got to hang out to give, maybe a TF Connel head down, Charlie. For sure. And even if it doesn't, the next TF Connel, you guys are going to go to, I mean, we know what over a year in advance. Oh yeah. So yeah. So I'm going to, I'm going to make it a point, man. Like I regret not going to the last one. After seeing it all you guys together, I was like- It was so much fun. How did I miss that? Yeah. And it was like immediate PTSD after we left. Oh God, I miss those guys. You're going down the road, life's going to suck now. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, man. So yeah, I'm for it. I'll definitely make the next one. We'll get to hang out for sure. I mean, I think it would be, it'd be a great time. Like all of us running our channels at the same time when we're all together, you get every angle and every story. So for sure. All right. Well, that wraps up all of our transformers questions. Now we're going to get into you as a YouTuber. All right. So what possessed you a grown ass man to do toy reviews on YouTube? So that was kind of easy. Like, well, number one, how many times have I been watching toy reviews to know if I want to buy something, right? And then seeing some of my good friends do it. And then like your channel, man, like, we got a lot of transformers reviewers, but everyone's so different, right? And like, you bring a level that I enjoy. Like, it's just like, you're like an announcer to me when I'm watching. It's great. Like, it's like a different Jason almost. But yeah. So like seeing them all and I'm like, man, all my buddies are doing it. And we're, you know, we're all in the same age bracket. So it's like, man, let me, and then I got my buddies. See, I got my kiddos and they're like, yeah, let's do it. And I'm like, my kids want to do it. I'm like, I can cement time with my kids. This is like a time capsule. You know, like I have this and it's going to, as long as YouTube stays alive. I have digital documentation that I can pull up anytime and meet my boys before I lost them to being teenagers. I'm already going to be the next as it is. My kid don't give a hoot anymore. It's all so about the Nintendo right now. That's like when I got this guy right here. I showed you this thing. I checked this giant figure out. Oh, he's cool. It happens. It happens, man. Yeah. Dylan, Dylan's a hoot though, man. I'm telling you, like, if there's a kid that's camera ready, it's him. Like, he is, he's such, he's so much fun to watch. Like, especially like when he was doing the chip challenges and he would just continuously eat the chips. And then to this day, my favorite was when he was on the news for the flood though. Like, when you, oh, when you posted that, I'm like, this kid's made for TV. He doesn't even know it yet. And that thing went viral because we were on our way to, we run out of town to go shop and go have dinner. We went down that we called the island park, which is here in town, and there was a flood. And I was like, he says, I need to tell people about this flood. And I think he was like five or six to time. So I just turned the camera on. I posted it and made that little weather channel thing. It looked like he was on the news. Yeah. That's how we got home. It had 36,000 views. I'm like, what? Dude, no, it was great, man. Like he, he definitely excelled on that one. He's a, he's character. But yeah, man. So it all came down to like, you know, everyone else, everyone I know is doing, everyone's having fun. I, like I said, been unboxing for years and just never, never pulled the trigger. And I guess it was like a timing kind of thing, you know, and then had all this time. Sorry, everyone else. And I'm like, man, I was watching a unboxing review. Actually, I'm like, why do they take so long? Like all my videos, like if I can cap it under eight, nine minutes, I do. And it's like, that's why like everyone else is like, all about the reveal. They're like, I'm going to pull each item out of the box. And I'm like, as someone who's looking at this, I want to see everything. So I just dumped the box out onto the table. I'm like, here's everything in it. Right. Honestly, if you want to cut right after I do that, because you see what you've want to see, I'm okay with that. I see it as a service, right. You got what you wanted to know. Do me a favor out. You know, use my link if you're going to buy it, but like at least give me that respect because you got everyone else. Everyone else is dumping their stuff or everyone else is pulling out one at a time 15 minutes later. Or if you seek yourself through the video, you finally got to see everything. We're honestly, within the first few minutes of my video, you can see what you want. The rest is my opinion. Right. So how do you feel about the way I feel about it? So I give, I give people the option. You know, yeah, yeah. Watch the whole thing to help me out. Or, hey, at least you got the information you were looking for and my service is fulfilled. So I started doing the little timestamps on my videos because people complained. You always do that toy hex thing in the beginning. I was like, well, that's how sponsorship works. Yeah. You got the toy hex in the beginning and you can watch me talk about the figure for the intro or you can go right to the bot. You can go right to the transformation. You know, whatever. Yeah, I will stick to how I do it because it gives me another way to appreciate these figures because before I'd get something like this. I'd take him out of the package, transform a couple of times on the shelf he goes for a few years until I decided to pull him down one day and mess with him again. Yeah, exactly. Show him off, talk about him, introduce people who may have never heard of this guy before. And to me, it's an extension of the hobby and I find it to me as a coping mechanism because I don't have any outlets for anything. I mean, I used to go to the gym all the time but then that kind of fell apart. And so this now when I'm in my head, I need to come and do something else. This is what I do. Oh yeah, man. It's constructive and it's fun. It's therapeutic for me. Yeah, I understand that, man. That's a great thing about it. Yeah, I love it too. Like, embossing it with the boys is great because of their reactions. Rome's just full of surprises when it comes to his faces that I'm going to see when it comes to what's dumping out of these boxes. Well, Dylan loves it. Anytime I get gifts to the channel and I'll do an unboxing, Dylan sits here, well, which one's for me? Is it for that, for you? Well, why am I in here? Well, I thought you'd like it, then he'll... Yeah, I still want to do... I want to get Dylan and Roman to do... We're going to have to get them to do some kind of live unboxing. I'm deciding on what box I want to do it with, though, because I know Dylan likes his pops. Oh, yeah. So, like... Pops on Nintendo right now. Whatever the hell a Five-Mite pretty is. The Mario box. Like, the Mario box that I do. I'm trying to see if I can get two random boxes built. And I know they have them on the channel, but I haven't seen any in a while or on their page, where they just... They're not themed. Like, they can be Mario-themed or Luigi-themed instead of just random Nintendo stuff. And knowing that Dylan's into Nintendo, I think something like that would be great. So, they're going through a reformat right now. Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, in Five-Mite and Frit... Five-Mite. Right, yeah. Good old FNAF. I'm with you on that. My boys are... Yeah, they're on the same hype train. But yeah, I mean, I think it'd be fun. His reactions to stuff are always great. And I think if, you know... So, that would be a great one to do. We'll have to set that up at some point. Like I said, I'm going to try to find a good one for them to do together. Dude, Mario... Dude, BotBots. I watched an episode of BotBots today with Roman on Netflix. That's a silly little show, man. It's very silly. Yeah, like... We started watching it last night and Dylan all of a sudden starts playing with Dipper. So, I went to change it because it's not for me. No, it's definitely not made for us. And as soon as I hit Paul's to go back, he's like, what are you doing, Dad? I was like, you weren't watching this? Yes, I was. And right back we were. Yeah. So, it looks like I'll be watching, you know, this hamburger run around and do stuff. Well, it's definitely... Definitely, you know, it reminds me of what's the last series of transformers that I did that I just wasn't a fan of on Cartoon Network. I gave it a good try, man. Cyberverse. I just couldn't make it. I think it was cyberverse. I couldn't do it. I tried hard. I tried hard and I just couldn't do the cyberverse series. The last one I watched was the series where, I guess it took place after Prime, where the Autobots were all vehicles, yet all the Decepticons were animal-based. Yes, I did do that one. Yeah, it looked like this. Yeah, yeah. I did do that one. I think that was the last series that I watched through in its entirety, but even towards the end, like, I don't remember how it ended. I remember that Starscream came in. I mean, they actually brought in the old G1s. Oh, okay. Yeah. But like you, I can't remember much. Yeah. Yeah, see, that series, even though I know I watched it, I can remember some of the characters where they had like the one guy that was a crab that I thought was pretty hilarious. Like, he was a funny character to me. Yes, that's the last one we watched last night. And yeah, that one had a message. I was ready for him to come on the screen and tell us about the moral of that story. Okay. Yeah, I'll have to check that one out. But yeah, man, like, I think that was the last series that I remember watching. And Grimlock was all right to me in that one, him being the big, you know, him being a dinosaur, being a fun character in that one. But I just couldn't, I couldn't do it. Like, I was like, I tapped out of that one. And then the Netflix series, as much as it wasn't the best, but it was better than what we've gotten recently. So I think that's probably why I liked it. A Transformers series specifically to us, I mean, for our age group. Yeah. No, that would be great. I think it'd be, that would be, that would be great to see. And it would need to be animated. Or even like the CGI, I'm fine with that. The movie was, the last movie, the Bumblebee movie was pretty good. I was actually okay with that movie, compared to some of the other movies. But I want me a good animated series. Like, that still will always be my go-to and my favorite, when it comes down to it. Like, anything, any of the animated, I will watch that over live action anytime, just because they can do what we want to see, you know? Exactly. And that's just one that just never seems to age. I mean, not because I'm biased. I could watch, I could right now, go downstairs, pop Transformers the movie in, watch the whole thing. Yeah. Always entertain. I would like four or five times. Yeah. Can't help it, right? I got it on VHS. I have the original DVD. And then I have the Blu-ray. And then I have the 4K. I have the 20th anniversary. And something else. Yeah. I'm safe. The wife's asleep. I actually bought a 4K TV for that 4K Blu-ray. Of course, I'm always like, well, honey, it's time that we update the 4K, because that's 4K. But no, I specifically bought that TV. That is great. No better reason to upgrade. I hear that. That is hilarious. But yeah, I mean, I've never, and I'm not even like, I don't even really do DVDs anymore, because we have everything at our fingertips when it comes to streaming. For that, that just tells you where my love stands when it comes to that. I'm like, hey, that DVD is coming out. I'm going to pre-order it right now. Like I heard it was coming and I didn't need to know anything else. You know what I mean? Well, for me, I love streaming. I love the fact all of these movies and shows are at our fingertips, but ones I really love, I get the physical copy of, because you just can't beat the physical copy. Because you pop one of those in, the picture's going to be better than streaming. The sound quality's going to be better than streaming. Oh yeah. Always. Hands down. Hands down. It's worth it. All right. Where were we? What keeps inspiring you to get in front of your camera? My kids, that's pretty much like, I would love to say, yeah, I'm going to hopefully one day live off my YouTube channel. It's a nice pipe dream, right? But no, man, it's my kids. Like we enjoy doing it. And I mean, even our stand base is super small. And we get rarely any comments. We got a couple of loyal fans, we get the comments from, and can't appreciate them more. I'm looking forward to at some point, like, you know, start doing some giveaways and stuff. That's something that I look forward to doing, because giving back, like even when I was running the toy store with Trent, shout out to Trent if he ever watches this, we had a good run with Lost Treasures. And doing giveaways for like, you know, masterpiece coins or stuff like that. That was always fun. Like, you know, seeing somebody be all excited over, you know, something, you know, minor that it's just fun to give away a little collectible. So that's what's cool about, like doing these streams right now, doing the live giveaways. It's cool. You get that interaction, which is fun. And speaking of which, there's 21 people watching this right now. Awesome. Dr. Dad's channel is in the description of this video. Click on it, subscribe, help a brother out. Yes, sir. Funny stuff. Oh, yeah. I appreciate it, man. He's a good guy. He's a transformer fan. And look at the beard. His beard makes the looks Baldwin's aesthetic. Oh, man. Yeah. I'm working on my devil beard myself. Dylan's over here. I actually mind my style it. It's mostly to a point majority of the time. It starts to come back out, of course, because it's getting really long. But there you go, buddy. Jay Lee, sub. Good deal. He's a sub. Appreciate it, guys. Yeah, man. Check us out. I, uh, trying to get her, trying to get a little more life. Sometimes when I'm watching some of the videos, I look at myself and I'm like, I should probably pick up my attitude a little bit. I'm just all serious when it comes to my logical thinking. Well, it's so funny. Like I'll go back and watch one of my old reviews. Somebody's mentioned one Facebook groups found a deluxe insecticon chop shop. Want to know who that figure was. And I was like, well, this guy, and I sent a link to my video. He was one of the first figures I did right after I hit 1000 subs. And so it's back when I was just super serious talking about the figure. I'm like, man, I am not animated at all. And it was funny. Like once I hit my stride, that was like, that's the person out of you that's sticking in all my videos. Oh yeah. No, I get you. And yeah, I was watching some of your earlier videos were funny as well. You know what? Some of my favorite things, which you actually just did recently, is your bloopers man. It's like, I watched it. I'm like, that's Jason. Like, like, that's, you know, like, it's so genuine. So what I've been doing, and this is because of you, actually, anytime we have one of those, I've just been archiving them. Like, I'll do the video. I'll cut it the way I need it. And then I'll take that file, the raw file, and I'll drop it into a folder called bloopers. And I'm like, when I have enough to cut, like a good five, six minute blooper reel, I'm just going to cut. That one I did yesterday was just right off the cuff. I was like, oh, and this guy, and I just dropped that car. Yeah. And I'm like, those are the things that I think are great. And I'm actually, I may, besides doing that, I may use those for like, for what I do, it's kind of hard to do a short, right? Unless I just chop together an unboxing. Just chop it to item, item, item. Because other than that, like you kind of really need to know what's going on. But I'm like bloopers. Bloopers would make great shorts. Oh yeah. Because they're usually just quick nonsense and it's good for a laugh. And that's what it should be for. Yeah. Of course, my biggest problem, what you've known me for years, is when I get mad, that military language comes out. I mark our videos not safe for kids, even though they're like 100% safe for kids. But actually, I gotta say 99% safe. When I meet people in public and I give them my card with my QR on it, I'm like, listen, I'm like, there's a chance like a shit or something along that lines is going to come out because I'm an adult with no filter and I have my children around me who hear me. So like, I don't think twice about it. And like, gotten the best responses from parents. They're like, if that's all they hear on your channel, they're doing great. I'm like, all right, good deal. Just letting you know in front, right? There is a guy, he might have been on a show with us one time, Dicast Norms. He was on our first one when we did the Mortal Kombat. He's got the funniest disclaimer. It says, hey, my channel's intended for those over the age of 13 because I may say some shit. Right off the front, right? Dicast man, that's a good dude. I see some of this stuff on, you know, we all follow each other on Instagram. So he shows up in my feed quite regularly. I don't think there's been one person I haven't met doing stuff like this. It's just not a genuine good person. I just enjoy, I mean, this YouTube thing has branched out way more than just talking about plastic robots. Oh yeah. I mean, deluxe who you're going to be on his show Tuesday night, deluxe is the one that inspired me to do something like this because I'm very small town area and not a feel sorry for me moment, but I don't have any friends around here I hang out with. My life is go to work, come back home, go to sleep, go to work, come back home. I mean, that's it. Yeah. Oh, I hear you. When my job changed and most of my good tight friends moved away and I stayed here and there's just nobody. And then like Dylan's in school and I'm like, yeah, okay, Dylan's in school. You'll meet parents that way. But Lisa and I had Dylan in our 40s. All these parents are in their 20s, the 30s. They ain't hanging out with the grand paul's. Oh yeah. Now I hear that. Yeah, man. That's why we live for these live streams. I mean, for us, it's like, hey, Saturday night, nine o'clock, let's all get together. And I know in the chat likes watching us, but for us, it's our chance to hang out. It's like we just all met at Applebee's. I mean, some of us are in there drinking and talking. Yeah, for sure, man. Like people hop in. All these guys are gonna probably talk about transformers. Two minutes in, they're like, no, they're not. Yes, it's everything, right? It's life. It's how we do. No, yeah, I think it's great, man. I enjoy it. And knowing you can get 10 people on there, man. I'm down. You let me know. Yeah, I'm going on the paper now. Yeah, oh yeah, man. I'm for it, man. Yeah, it's a good group for sure. The guys you've introduced me to, man, like right off the bat, it's like hanging out with a bunch of buddies, man. Like we're all, we're all like-minded people. And they embrace you immediately. That's like Rotem is a TF con. We went down to the lobby and I'll be honest, I have more fun hanging out in the lobby than actually in the showrooms. Because everybody just, they crowd around each other and it's just story after story. And it's like, you may have just met this person three minutes ago, but you feel like you've known him forever. And it's all the calls of plastic robots. It's great. It is amazing. Oh yeah, man. It's so much fun, man. Being around the like-minded people, my first Transformers experience was BotCon 2006 or was it 2005? When they did the Beast Wars series, the set was a Beast Wars series. So they had like, and it was mixed, it was the Beast Wars, it was mixed with Cybertron because everyone came with keys. So like- I know the ones you're talking about. Yeah. I want to say it might have been 2006, what is the introduction of that line? That's the one where Megatron was the red alert. Yeah, the red alert, Cybertron's defense red alert. That's funny. This is how good Transformers fans were. Just by me doing the motion and he had a large missile on his shoulder, you knew exactly what I was talking about. Yeah, you know. Oh yeah. He was also one of those, one of a thousand, if I'm not mistaken. He only made a thousand of them. He, his price went insane. Like at one point, I want to say at his highest, it was like $12 or $1,300 for a completed. Yeah, I had him in my collection for a good bit. He was one of the first figures I sold after my first son was born. And dude, he got snatched up so fast. Oh, the shoulder, the black side. Yeah. I have nowhere to put him. He looms over me until I can find the shelf for him. You need a big bot. You need a big bot display. Because you got several, several of the two. Every one of them except Fortress Mexicans. Yeah. So yeah, you need a big bot, a big bot shelf. So that way you can like mount it low and they would just sit with everybody. I'm actually, they're all displayed right there. And I could probably squeeze him in if I do a little bit of re-rate. Oh, I got you. I got you. Yeah. Because that's, I mean, those guys are just so humongous. They were one of the reasons why like, I would, I would get mad at my debts off. I was like, all right, none of you guys are fitting in here. Like, you're all going to have the house on the top shelf for a while. One of my favorite pictures that I did back, it was right after, right after the Fort Max, or was it, yeah, it was Fort Max. When they redid Fort Max, that was about eight years ago when we got the, the last version of Fort Max with the big red guns. What's the issue? No, no, not the G1 reissue. Was it War for Cybertron? That's the one I didn't get. Yeah. So when they brought him out, that was, we had our, the TF Con in Charlotte, not long before that one happened as well. So when he came out, I was still selling. So like, I had three buddies that wanted them. So I picked up four of them and I laid down a little Roman, all six pounds of them in between three of them. And I was like, one of these things are not like the other. And I'll define that picture, man. It's, he was, he was smaller than, you know, the Fort Max. Like, so it was just one little picture. Titan's Return was the line. There you go. It makes sense because Titan's Returns, when they brought the Headmasters back, or Titan Masters. Yeah. Yeah. And he was just, you know, he was such a beefy figure, man. And then of course, I told you I was a mold collector. So they brought out the exclusive with all the chrome. Yeah. And I was one of the few that got my hands on one of those. I was, when I was in it, man, I was on the pulse. I was like, I could get almost anything. I toy hunted for people and I was one of the cheaper toy hunters. I put 10% on it and I would get you close to your best price. And it was because I had connections. Buddy of mine that we call Roy Bot. He was, he was, he was over the toy room at Shark DeCon. It's a big tall dude. I found him, his grail, which was a overlord, the G1 overlord. Yeah. Picked it up. He got it for 350. Tell me he's getting the G1 overlord for 350 six years ago. Like that's the kind of connections that I had floating around me. Yeah. If you happen to find something like that again. I can keep my eye on, man. I still reach out to people every once in a while. But yeah, man, like the community of, of, you know, that group, like when you get your hands on the right people, like you can get anything you want at a fair price because you know, there's guys like us that are like, Hey man, I'll just hook you up because I have that ability. Well, I made friends through this. I got emailed today, a buddy of mine in Texas. He's like, I'm a target right now. They got kickback and drag strip. You need them? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if we all help each other out, man, we can bury the scalpers. As a sales, as a seller, it was kind of funny because like the guys were like, you should wear a swindle shirt. And I was like, but I'm, I should get like a shattered glass swindle shirt because I'm the guy that's going to take care of you versus like just trying to dig your pocket. I got, I got buddies that I'll tell you, man, um, when everyone was paying $7,800 for that, for that Cybertron Defense Megatron, I sold one to a buddy of mine for 400 bucks because I got my hands on one. Yeah. I will take care of the people that take care of me. You know, like that's just how it works. Like, you know, tip for Ted, every time we can like take care of the group. I'd get you anything that I can. At the best price I can because that's what we do for each other. Exactly. That's what our community does. I mean, I know there's a bunch of us there in a chat. I mean, we're on there all day nonstop talking to each other. Well, fire talks today. What figure did he find? He was a target and found the buzzworthy silver streak. I totally forgot about that figure. And he's like, Hey, he bought four of them before he even messaged us because he knew one anyway. Yeah, definitely, man. I mean, that works out great. Now, I mean, of course, when there's a profit to turn, like on an item that's super hot, you know, I got to make a little bit as well. I mean, the way I support my channel is by selling either stuff from within the boxes or, you know, if I like the box that much, I just eat that charge, man. But I, I'm like a, you know, I keep, I keep selling so I can keep buying. Hell, that's what you have to do. It just rotates around. Yeah. So I know I can make a buck. I do. Yeah. I just packed up all of my Star Wars collection. I thought I could sell some of these, but I don't know any star. I don't know how to price Star Wars stuff. So it's just all in tubs in the closet right now. It's painstaking, man. eBay sale. Like you're looking up on eBay and look at what they sold for. And then like, you know, it's where do you live? Like when it comes to me, I live in the price range of, as long as I make a dollar more than I paid for it, I don't care. So when I put these things up for auction, I'm like, well, everyone's making 50 bucks on it. All right. Well, I'm going to start mine off at 40. And if I make 40, I'm going to be happy because I don't need top dollar, man. I need enough to run like this. Right. This isn't the retirement plan. I'm a database programmer by trade. Like that's what I do for a living, you know. And I'll continue to do that until I can afford to retire. And then I'm a collector by heart. I'll do everything I can to keep that going forever. There's no retirement from that. Even though they keep jacking them prices up, I'm like, I'll eat it because I love it. Yeah, man. Plastic is expensive. Plastic is definitely expensive. That's like with the new legacy figures, they cut out that plastic window. I'm like, OK, you've jacked the price. There's not near as much plastic on the figure. And now you don't even have a plastic window for us. Yeah. Well, come on. You know, all it would take is one asshole with a sharpie to just walk down the aisle and just ruin everyone's shit. I probably just gave somebody an idea. Look, we got enough guys, man, going to Walmart. We've all taken pictures of it, like random figures and packaging that we know is 100% incorrect. Yeah. Or the guy that was removing heads from figures. Yeah, that was the Space Jam figure, wasn't it? Yeah, I'm like, come on, man. I'm like, I mean, it was garbage to begin with. But come on, leave people alone. Like, I'm sure somebody really wanted that figure. And you're like going around like removing all the heads. Like, you're not fun. By no means. He's edgy. He's edgy. He got it for life. But yeah, man, it is definitely, it's fun. Like, I guess I replaced my collecting of figures because that, as you know, takes lots of dollars. My wallet was screaming all the time, especially like, I share a love with Cato, man, the third party. So third parties, when I was heavy, heavy into the collecting, like fans project, they were ruling the world. They were putting out what felt like two, three figures a month at one point. And I owned, I owned all their headmaster line. I owned the Dino bots, all the Dino bots that they made, all but seven or eight of them, because they even made the extra, like they made the female bots. And then mastermind, I owned his combiner. You know, he did the good, he did, I enjoyed the, what did he do? The feral Rex. So mastermind, MMC feral Rex was one of my favorites. TFC, I did their, their Constructicon Hercules. So like, I had, I had so many third party figures and those were all like 100, 120 bucks a pop. They were not cheap. They were not cheap at all. And I've never gotten the third part. I got a few. Yeah. And yeah, I could see where they're so addicted, but you know, I'll complain. I'm not going to spend that much money on that figure yet. I'll drop. I mean, I hell, I had all of the legacy figures pre-ordered and paid off. Yet everybody's hit me on Facebook. Well, I found him here, here, here. So I was like, fuck it. And I just, all right, I bought them and just canceled all the pre-orders. So now that money I paid off, I'll just put on another pre-order. Yeah, yeah, pretty much, man. I mean, whichever way we get, it's always the way to go with it. So, but yeah, I mean, as soon as I pay my credit card down, I'm like, shit. I hear you. But yeah, it's an expensive hobby, man. So when I started doing the boxes, I started trading off. I was like, well, because I was a mold collector, I would get every mold and then they just, they got heavy in the repaints. And I was like, now I have eight of these or nine of these. I have the Armada, not Armada, Animated Prime. Animated Prime was one of the ones that got several repaints as well. Like we got the main one and then they did the main one with the wing pack that he came with for season two. And then Japan did the Elite Guard. And then they did the Black Optimus. We got that one. And like a Nemesis Prime for Animated Prime? Yeah, we got a Nemesis Prime out of the Animated with a nice big hammer. And then, or Battle Axe, I should say. Then what'd we get? We got the retooling for Mixmaster. Mixmaster? Motor Master. Motor Master. And then they also did another one for, they did the Toxin. Is it Toxin? What was his name? Toxatron? Yeah, he was part of, somebody's gonna know. They did him for the Botcon, I think it was the same 2009 when they did all the other Animated figures. They did another one there. So yeah, it was one of those, I mean, it comes in moles, man. It's one area where I kind of excel. Like, who's got this mole? Who's got this mole? The Seekers. I had every Seekers. Oh my God, I've got so many Siege Seekers. The 21 of them, before the Siege line, I think there was 21, the 22 classic Seeker moles. Generations used it. So generations brought out the whole line. And then you had several of the, we had the Rainmakers. They did several Rainmakers. So, and then the Botcon line, they had the three Rainmakers there. So that's the only Siege Seekers I never got was the Skittle Squad, the Target Exclusive. I had them in my cart over and over again. I was like, I don't need them. Yep, looks like we're losing our ass. Oh, he's out for the night. Thanks for stopping by. And I need to, you know, my spelling's off there when you type on the keyboard trying to look at the camera. But yeah, I mean, it's something that will definitely never leave my bones, man, if my transformer's collecting. Like I've tried several times. I was like, all right, I'm out. I'm like, there's too many. And I would sell off like 100, 200 figures and then be like, then they just brought this one out and it looks so nice and I'll just buy them. I'm just going to buy the one. I've got a few that I have bought that I thought I'm excited to get, but they have been in the box since I got them months ago. Like I got that X-Men jet. He looked cool. I took him out, transformed him once. I'm like, this isn't for me. He's in the box in the corner. The Jurassic Park set. I wanted so bad. I couldn't wait until I got it. I got it. And I'm like, it's just a box over there. It happens. I remember buying several. I think it was probably the original RID line 2001 that I was buying some of those figures just because I was like, well, I got to complete the set. I'm like, I don't really like, especially they had odd transformations for a lot of those. They were just, they weren't fun to me. Like if I got to look at the instructions after the first couple of times, I'm not, I'm not. So that's why I didn't like the studio series line. I've got the Megatrons and the last one, the Megatron that turned into the truck. That was the most pain in the ass transformation. And they're just, like I said, if I get pissed transforming it, it's not. So I never really got into the studio series, though I do like the bumblebee ones. I got all those. And I don't know if you got the legacy bulkhead, but that was just me off. Super easy transformation. If you can find the hidden hinge that it doesn't show in the instructions. Yeah, it was in the waste or something, right? Yeah, because even Kato and I both, because I had the whole front end of him, and I'm looking at the instructions and like, well it shows his legs like this, and it looked like I was solving a Rubik's cube with that figure for like 30 minutes before I finally noticed a pin. I was like, what's that pin go to? And I popped it. It's like so bitch. Yeah, exactly, man. Like if you ever feel like you're going to break it, like a G1 Black Zurich actually, right? Like who's transforming him nowadays? You got to have some major balls to be like, I'm going to transform him. Well, I love my Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron. I used to play with that thing all the time. And now... It was the last time you touched him. Exactly, because thanks to internet and gold plastic syndrome, he hadn't been transformed probably since early 2000. Yeah, yeah. G1 roadblock over there. Great looking figure. I don't know if you can see he's earning a green. Oh yeah. Great pretender shell, great vehicle mode, but the innerbot completely gold. I've never transformed him. Yeah. Now what? In this course, I've got monstructor here. I still have... I don't know if you remember, man. This... God, Lee, I don't even know. I don't even think we are... Your kid wasn't born. I don't think my kid was born. I got bludgeon. The bludgeon's shell and hat from you. Pretender bludgeon. Because the hat was warped or the helmet was warped. I completed that bad boy because I had the innerbot, but what cost me was the little cannon. $95. Yes. I paid $95 for that, but I had everything else, man. And when you get everything else for $40, I'm like, you're at a steal here, man. I'm like, let me just complete him. So he's won that bludgeon. Pretenders are so hard to complete. Yeah. Oh yeah. I've got nine or 10 of them, man. I've got a decent number. I've got a double dealer, a complete double dealer. He's one of the ones that, you know, tough to come by, picked him up complete. So... I think about my entire G1 collection. I'm missing the two orange guns for Fast Track on Scorponok. I've got two reproductions. Okay. That's the one advantage of having buddies that are at the 3D printing. And I'm missing the spear for Chop Shop, the Insecticon. And I think that's it. Oh man, that's not bad, dude. I mean, there's the G1 line's humongous bear. So if you got everything else, man, you're sitting really well. At least I'm pretty sure. Do you have the G1 dinosaur cassettes though? No. Yeah. I just have pretty much all the American ones. Are you talking about the American line? Because I was just saying, Japanese G1, now we're just getting into a huge, huge number of figures. I started once. I got every Generation 1 Decepticon. Okay. The Autobots pretty much up into the Headmasters. The only Autobot Headmaster I have is Fort Maximus. It was a pretty good Automized Headmaster to have. Yeah, yeah. And they're just way too expensive. And yet, I get into these. And of course now, thanks to Nostalgia, I'm starting to rebuy some Beast Wars figures. And just odds and ends, I've finally broke down. I have had always wanted a Wheeljack. This is my original G1 Wheeljack, missing everything. I broke down and got one of the KO's. Because I know the original Wheeljack's about $140. And for me, it's just going to be on my shelf. I'm not going to resell it. I'm not going to lie to people and say it's an original. Yeah, yeah. And right out the package, this thing feels like this guy. But I wish they'd left the sticker applications to me. Oh, yeah. I'm sure you can take care of that. So I'm going to be toy-haxing him up before I release. Yeah, I was going to say. I can see that. Yeah, that is poor application for sure. Well, what's bad is, where are they? He came with stickers. So he came. It looks like the old sticker sheet. Oh, OK. But why they decided to go ahead and put the roof sticker on Crooked is beyond me. Yeah, yeah. And that's the first thing I know is he came out and was like, that's some bitch's Crooked. Yeah, you're talking to me. You're like me, man. I will rip out a pair of tweezers to put on some stickers in a heartbeat. So make sure that I get them perfect. They did the prime line, the Japanese prime line. There were stickers for all the little mini-tons. Like, actually, I haven't opened it. It's one that actually I bought a while back and I'm going to sell. But you know, like these guys. So like, there are stickers on these, man. Like, and you have to apply them yourself. Oh, look at this hand. This is not a sticker supplying hand. Applying hand. You know, you're all you need is your old man by Focals. Got your little pointy straight tweezers. You got your little crooked tweezers. Man, you're good to go. That's exactly right. And that's exactly how I have to supply all those stickers. There's no other way to do it. I love decals. Like I said, you know, a lot of people do model building and stuff like that. Decals is just like my thing. Of course, now with me doing the videos, I have to make sure and do the before shots. Now I'll spend a couple of days putting the decals on then the after shots. Next up on my playlist, I've got the decal set for this glorious bastard. I watched your video on how to fix his arm. Talk about a pain in the ass, like the shoulder. I'm like, when you got to go to Napa to fix your transformers, somebody needs to be paid. Like we need to get a discount. And that was one of those ones. I'm filming it. And if I break it, I'm still filming it anyway. You were in it, man. You were in it. But like all the technical points to that video, like bring the arm this way. So when you're separating it, you're not, you know, you're not extending any extra plastic. You're not causing stress marks in certain areas. Like that was one of the best videos I've seen in a while when it comes to how to hack together, you know, like how to fix it, man. Like you took the time to put in all the detail and like opening it on camera. You don't know how many videos that I've seen where the guys are like, give me one second. And they're like pause and then come back and be like, okay. So I finally got it off. And I'm like, no, man, I need to see the pain you went through because I'm going to have to go through that. I think the only time I edited it was like a long shot of me just going, you motherfuckers. Yeah. Now you edited it. You were like, okay, I've been doing this for a while, but I just pared it down to like the last piece because you would see where you're like, hold on, I gotta, I gotta really get in here. So yeah. I remember that I showed my thumb where it had put such an indentation in my thumb. Yeah. I got a lot of videos out of Galvatron. I got to figure review. I got fixing the shoulder. I got taking the schmutz off of him. I got the toy hacks details. Dude, you restore videos. You did. Or was that just pictures you did on Facebook? I mean, we've been friends for so long, man. You remember you'd like get an old, old G1 figure and it would be crud and you'd be like, I'm going to put them in a Dawn bath. That was my jet fire. I did it. I thought about doing a video on him, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. So it was just like my project over the spring. Yeah. And you, yeah, you video, you did pictures, I believe that and like all kinds of pictures. But I'm like, talk about something that would be neat for people to see. Like the restoration that you've done, that that's, there's a, there's a need. Now I have done a few restoration videos on pretenders because you always get pretenders and they just look like shit. Oh yeah. There's just always gummy nasty. And I've cleaned up a few of those. I think I did a restoration of a pretender jazz, a bumblebee. I want to say that I saw your jazz. Yeah. I've done a few of those. And actually I have the vintage toy hex decals that I applied to them. Yeah. It's just neat, man, because like those, like seeing, seeing like how you've like cleaned them up, it's almost like, you know, you ever watch the restore, like the guys restore the old cars and like discovery channel and stuff or they restore an old Coke machine that somebody had sitting there in their house for years. I'm like, to me, like when you, when you're washing up a transformer and doing new decals, that's what it reminds me of, man. I'm like, there's an art to it. You know, it's something you're taking pride in. Removing yellow. I have one left. It's a G1 quick switch. And he's in perfect condition, except he got his legs snapped off right there on the peg. And if I can find a really good super glue and I can line that cut up perfect, that quick switch is going to be in perfect condition cause it's a, there's no scuffs on him. Stickers are good. He comes with both weapons. It's just that. You should look into some JB welds. And that's like the 2-part compound. Yeah. But you can, you can spread it out. Like you can, after you build the compound, you can, you can apply just a little bit. I use the JB welds. I'll, I'll define what I have and send you a picture of it. So my shredder, when I was moving my, it has wheels. So my wife was like, I'm just going to wheel it into the house on the concrete. I'm like, dude, this is all just furniture. Like you can't like, so the wheel snapped off and it's completely plastic based down there. And it's snapped in the plastic and I welded it together and it's, it's alive and kicking. It can roll across the carpet with no problem. And I'm like, cause you know, glue and plastic is some of the hardest stuff we can do. But. I got this. It's this Loctite Ultra Gel. I have some of that. This is really good stuff. So I was going to try it with it first. And I thought if anything else, if I could get a longer screw to go through the peg and it's got to eat of the figure, I could fix it. And then I'm like just flipping for a cheap price because I already have one complete. Yeah. Hey man, bring it back into the, bring it back into the fold. That's always great, right? We lose transformers all the time to landfills and everything else. So. I got, I got this one. I want to restore just as a easy, easy fix. Good deal. You don't have to go under anything. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah. Like I said though, seeing you restore the man, especially when you give him the new decals and stuff, like give him life. Like it's like bringing it back. Yeah. So, yeah, that's always neat to see. But yeah, dude, so you said your channel's been on seven years? No, going on five. Five, five years. This October will be five years. Five years. That's amazing. I don't believe it. I know. It doesn't feel like it's been that long, honestly. No. Yeah. But when you, when I click on your channel and I click on videos and I see the number of videos, I'm like, oh, it's been five years. So it's good stuff. I enjoy it. I definitely would. I think we might still have a question left over. We went long on the last one there. Yeah, we do. I think we've answered about everything. Uh, yeah, let's just go ahead and skip the last one called 1130. Yeah. Do you have any channel goals for yourself? Where can our viewers find you? This is your chance to plug your channel. Okay. So channel goals right now is definitely breaking 100, right? Because we haven't even hit the 100 mark yet. Honestly, I would hope, I would hope that in the coming time, like I really want to do, like I really want to get a lot of crowd participation for my first giveaway. So I'm thinking like, once I get to 500, which is, uh, you know, it's not, it's not, you know, a paid level at all, which that doesn't really, that's not really what I'm doing this for. But I think at 500, there's enough people to start trying to give some stuff away. I definitely, with all the boxes that I have, have stuff to give away. So that's the goal there. Where are you right now? I think we're at 70. Let's, uh, let's take a look. Actually, we had a couple of subscribers since, since, uh, you know, since we've been on this. So I was at 70 and some change, I want to say, and I'm at 85 right this second. Well, what you gotta do is plan a small one for 100 because even hitting the 100 is a pretty good number. Yeah. Yeah. And I would do these, these stream yard things. They're easy to set up. They're easy to bring people in. And like you said, you got the chat interaction. And of course, me being the host, I'm seeing my interactions a little different. Yeah. Yeah. Now what would probably be better though is until, until we grow the channel a little more, I'll probably just, one of our Saturday nights, like when we're all doing stuff, like I'll just, I'll have the item, we, we run the hashtag. We do it on your channel. I'm fine with that, man, because I'm still, you know, everyone's still seeing me. And we'll just, you know, I'll send it out to, if anyone from my channel wants to win, they would just need to join the stream as well. Right. So we shared across the board. It's, it's, you know, and now they say we do it on my channel or something. Yeah. You have to be, you have to be subscribed to you. Yeah. In order to win. There we go. I love it. I love it. Keep it fair. Keep it easy. Yeah. And you know, we could definitely make some stuff like that going. I mean, especially like I, I run the game. But when it comes to these boxes, man, I have Marvel boxes. I have, I have Lego boxes that I do. The random, the geek fuel, which they're going through some changes right now, which I've been doing geek fuel boxes since 2017. I want to say is when I first started with them, and I've seen them go through changes like this last change. Now they're, they're pairing down. It's going to be like a t-shirt and an item. And I think it's like a $5 credit to their store that they're building. So it's very different from many of the boxes. And it's like $20 plus shipping. But I've been with them through their original when they were like, Hey, we're going to lease a box monthly. And then I guess they were probably running into logistical financial issues. And they were like, all right, we're going to move to a quarterly box. And I stuck with them the whole time. And they've, they've always found a way to survive. So because of that, I feel like loyal to them. I did a box called Nerdblock at one point. They, they were, they did people so wrong. Like when they, when they folded anyone who had a subscription, I heard many of them didn't get refunds. They still owe me items missing from the last box, which I've just given up on, you know, I'm like, you know, that's never going to come to me. So, but yeah, we do those. And then of course, when it comes to this, we run the gambit. I have a link tree on all of our videos. So we're on YouTube. We're on, we're on Twitter. We're on Facebook. We're on Instagram. You know, and you know, everywhere where you are, we're all following each other on those pages. So the Gorilla Super Glue is some good stuff. I'm going to look at it and think of that one. Yeah. And it comes in the same precision tubing. What's that? It comes in the same precision tubing that you have, like the one that you just showed where you can squeeze the side and get just the bead worth. Gorilla makes the same kind of container. I have to get some of that. Well, I was going through my instruction booklets earlier and I found another whole stack of these Decepticon stickers. Very nice. So I thought you have those in plethora. Yeah, plus I do. Yes, I do. So let's do a, let's do a giveaway tonight. All right. Good deal. We'll do two of these. Like I said, I give these out. These are great decals. I've applied it one live, not live on this guy, but I fixed him up. So they look really good because they're clear. Got the clear backing where he is, where he is, talking like, you know, to put one on dirtbag here. They look really good. They do look good. I will give two sets of these to one lucky person in the chat. Let's do it. You're my guest. What, what will the giveaway code be? Oh, man. So your name. All right. That's it. Unboxbox, U-N-B-O-X-D-O-C-S. See how it's spelled right there? There you go. Yep. Hashtag unboxbox. That's your giveaway code. That's your giveaway code. I like that one. I just dropped. So when you send stuff out, this is on the air question here. So let's see. When you send stuff out to people, do you have like a P.O. box that you use? Because that's always been my thing. I'm like, man, how do you send stuff out? Just on the mail. I have a label thrown on there. Yeah. I thought about that, man. I was like, do I, like, you know, we got kids and stuff. I'm like, should I get a P.O. box? Like, that's one of the things that I think of. Well, any time I deliver stuff, I ship it to work. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Slow DK. No hashtag this time. Oh, no hashtag. Sorry. Just because you see, like, SilverTMA has typed and FawnHeart2000 type it just like that. Slow DK, man. See, I like to look out for my people. Make sure. Oh, yeah. Slow DK. You're going to have to do it again. No hashtag. And it's not, there's no E. And one, one D there. So it's unboxed docs. Like, unboxed doctors. There we go. There we go. He's got it. Yeah. It's that thing, man. Coming up with the channel name was always the fun part there. We were like, what are we going to do? I'm like, I want a boxing in the name because that's primarily what we're going to do on our channel. Jared, you misspelled it. Yep. Yep. Dots like doctors. Like, give it to me straight. Dots. Look at everybody else. See, I try to be fair. Oh, yeah, man. I definitely, when it comes to it, man, I want to do it. I want to do it simple. I'm going to do like some of those where it's like, you know, comment on the channel, share the post, get the word out there, try to build it up. And then like, if I can do it, when I do the big one, the plan for when I get to 500 is it's going to be the cross. It's going to be one box per like media outlet, right? So we're going to do, someone's going to get a box on YouTube. So there'll be four winners. You know, there'll be a YouTube box. There'll be a Facebook box and Instagram box. Neat. A Twitter box. Yeah, Twitter, it's so much easier on Instagram to like, to reach out to people like, I feel like Twitter's dying when it comes to like, people seeing things. Yeah, dude, what happened to you on Twitter is no, no joke, man. Like, come on. Like, yes, I love the winner death threats. Yeah. Like our, our, our political affiliation, whatever they are, like it shouldn't matter. I mean, you and I are great friends and we don't see eye to eye when it comes to a lot of that stuff. Logically, we see the way it runs. It's all what it is, you know. And what's funny is I have never mentioned my political affiliation, but I have this in my name. I'm this. You are a veteran, man. And you fought for our country. If anyone's flying the flag hard, it should be you. You deserve it. You, you've done, I mean, dude, your cat says it all. Yeah. I couldn't tell you, my first year of YouTube almost quit just because of people like that. Yeah. I'm like, where do you keep that? You gotta let the calls go. So, yeah. Oh, I just, I kept on. Hell, I started using it in some videos. There you go. Yeah, definitely, man. Like, I mean, I look at it like, I mean, X, like I had, I had a little bit of reservation of putting X on camera. You know, I mean, X is autistic. And I gave him the option. I'm like, hey, buddy, I'm like, do you want to do this with us? And I'm like, we gotta, let's, let's find your niche. And what I found to be great is like, he's talking more. Like he's getting used to being with the camera. So he's like, gone to more than just showing off the shirt. Like he'll give, he'll give his opinion. And that to me is everything in itself. You know, like, we worked really hard with him. Like he's mainstreamed in school. And it's one of those things where like, he, he is out there. And, and he couldn't make me proud. You know, he, he participates. He's cross country. He swims like, yeah, man. And it's everything is, he decided like, I didn't have to push him. He's like, I want to swim. And I'm like, well, if you want to swim, let's do it. So yeah, man, it's, it's, it's great community. The community helps like, you know, seeing him on there. And, and the trolls, you know, like we don't, we don't have, we don't have trolls. And I can appreciate that. I know eventually that's going to happen. It happens to everybody. Well, the block button on, on YouTube is awesome. I mean, first, I mean, I'll even give people a chance. And Morrissey, one comment that brings up politics or something like, and I don't care what side you're gone, because that's not what this is for. Yeah. This is a happy community, man. We're here to have fun. We're here to, you know, bring joy. I am sick of the real world. That's why I want to visit Cybertron. For real, right? And that to me, that's the cons, the cons take us out of that, right? We're with like-minded people. We're not going to work the next day. So we can let loose and have fun and be, be 12 and 15 year olds. That's like the whole time at TF Con. There wasn't one, I mean, like you said, everybody from different religions, backgrounds, whatever, none of that came up now. Transformers, Transformers, Transformers, Good Time, Military Grade, Margaritas, it was awesome. Yes, sir. Yeah. Oh yeah, man. And that's how it comes down to me. I'm like, I think, like, I'm still waiting on, you know, I'm hoping this, I'm hoping Bert's here in this. I need Bert to show up to one of these live streams that we're all supposed to be a part of. Tell me, he's the way that I am. I think he's hilarious, man. Like, I'm pretty sure that when I meet him that we're going to kick it off, man. Yeah, he is great. He helped me deal with a lot of the things I was dealing with because I had kind of just met him and he's on the other end of the spectrum of me because we both do not agree politically, but we don't care. Exactly. And I would vent him. I said, man, look what they're hitting me with. And he's like, you know, he, that's, it just helped. We just, we became really good friends over there and he helped me through a lot of this because I was, I was having a rough time with mental things during this period. So yeah, I got you. Yeah, man, I get it. I get it, man. And it is, it's rough. I came so close to quitting all social media because I'm like, I like my social media to be fun. So like, I just started like, even, even some of my good friends, I'm like, if they were just too hard into the political posts, I'm still their friend. They'll always be my friend. But I just, your, your, your posts are making me sad. So I would unfollow them and like, but then you got guys like Justin. Justin, he's a buddy of ours, man. Trying to remember if, if you would have met, you would have met him and probably like at Shark DeCon. He lives out in the outer banks area. He's there in North Carolina, but that guy, he's meme city. And if, if I could just have him show up in my feet at all times, I'm happy about it. Like guys like that are what I want to see. So I pair my stuff down. Like the stuff that we do, right? You show up in my feet all the time. And because of that, like, I, I'm actually, I'm waiting. I'm waiting to actually physically or, or virtually meet him. And then, then, then we can actually like, you know, cause we're in the one group. We're supposed, he was supposed to be with us on Mortal Kombat. He missed out there. He was supposed to be with us on the G1 episode that we tried to pull off. He didn't make it there. I'm like, come on guy. He's like the highlight of my channel. He's my super chat rewards. Yeah, exactly. He's like 90% of the super chat rewards. Yeah. He's such a great dude. All right. Let's get some good boys now. Let's get this up here. All right. Yeah. Let's do it. All right. Let's do it. Unbox docs. There we go. Start collecting the comments. We got 11 entries. Beautiful. So, let's draw. Are you ready? Yes, sir. Go. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. Stop. David Jones is the winner. Congrats. Reach out to me at Patriot Prime Reviews, a Facebook page, or Instagram, because I don't do Twitter. I would rather eat Flaming Class. I can ship some one-chip challenges by the bold and be on Twitter. So, yeah. Reach out to me Instagram or my Patriot Prime Reviews Facebook page and I'll get these decals headed your way. So, congratulations, David Jones. Yeah, man. I recently got back into going to wrestling shows. I saw that. Yeah. So, I got a buddy of mine. We went to high school together and she started a channel. Well, she's only got two videos in. She's got to find the time, really, but when it comes down to it and she was reacting to like some of the more gory stuff that happens in house show wrestling, and I was like, dude, I'm like, my wife hates to go see wrestling. I was like, but if you are down for some shows, I'm like, let's go. And I'm like, I've been watching wrestling since I was in diapers, man. I mean, I watched the first WrestleMania. You know, so it's been part of my life and trying to get the boys aren't really big into it. They like going to the actual shows, but they don't like watching it on TV. There was a meme I saw the other day on Facebook was talking about how I forget what it was comparing to, but then said, and when you found out wrestling was fake, did you stop watching it? Yeah, there you go, right? Yeah, no, I still enjoy every minute of it. They are the best stuntmen that are just killing it on a regular basis to me, you know? And then when they do get injured, it's wild. Like when one guy recently, he fell wrong, man. He broke his neck. Yeah, and yeah, biggie. And it was the best thing to see that he jumped on Twitter and posted a video. He's like, I'm totally fine. He's like, I can move all my digits. He's like, but they told me I'm my neck's broken. And I'm like, whoa. But he's also like 300 pounds of solid mass. And I'm like, well, the guy's neck's this big. So it didn't completely take that much damage because he's just all muscle, you know? Yeah, no kidding. He would demolish your gladiator challenge in a minute. I'm just doing that. I'm gonna say, dude, that was a beastie challenge. I remember watching, like, you post stuff about that. I'm like, I don't even think when I wrestled that I could have pulled off your challenge. And wrestling was 99% cardio. We didn't lose that. That's funny. I looked back at pictures of me from 10 years ago. I'm like, oh, what happened? You had a kid? You got a little older? I had a kid and I got a desk job now. Yeah, desk jobs, man. All right, well, brother, I think we need to wrap this up. It is almost midnight on a Sunday. I gotta get to work in the morning. I can't thank you enough for agreeing to do this. I mean, I shouldn't have done it a long time ago. We've known each other. It seems like forever. Yeah, it's been eight plus years. Yeah, a long time. Everybody in the chat, thank you for tuning in with us on this Sunday night as we just rambled and rambled and relived the old days and talked about these wonderful plastic robots. And it's funny, I'm always grabbing this guy because he's the only one within arm's reach. Which is rare for you. You usually have at least five or six in reach at a time. Well, I got this guy, but he's kind of hard to manipulate. I don't want to show this one too much because he's my next review. Ah, save him. Yes, sir.
