Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're
listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey,
it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to
Studio 2009. Last time, it blew you through the
back wall of the theater. This time, it will
blow you sky high. This is Die Hard 2, Die Harder,
right here inside Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast
Radio Network. Now, on with the show. Yippee
-ki -yay, Mr. Falcon. That's right, it's all
about the Falcon, fucker. There's nothing wrong
with your podcast player. Just an attempt to
adjust the volume. Hello and welcome back into
our studio. You're now inside Studio 2009, which
is now covered with snow here in July. Only on
the Geekcast Radio Network. I'm of course TFG
and Mike Dramey. Once again, as always, is Steve
Megatron. Hello, sir. How are you? Good, good.
Good, good. We are continuing on in this five
-episode arc. It's either going to be five weeks
or five days. It's most likely going to be five
days, folks. As we trek through the Die Hard
film franchise. And this one, we Die Harder.
Now, I read through various things and various
whatever. Technically, this is Die Hard 2, Die
Harder. But originally, this was just going to
be called Die Harder. I don't know if that would
have worked. Because if you notice, between Die
Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Harder, and Die Hard with
a Vengeance, they dropped Die Hard 3. I mean,
yes, we call it Die Hard 3 with a Vengeance,
but it is literally just Die Hard with a Vengeance
for the third movie. There is no numbering for
the third movie. So, I don't know. I don't know
if anyone would have gone to see a movie called
die harder in, you know, I think they should
have just kept it at die hard to like, and then
die hard three and then die hard for just make
it super simple for people. Yeah. Die harder.
Just didn't sound great. Each one got progressively
worse, though. Die Hard with a Vengeance was
decent, so was Live Free or Die Hard. And then
it was A Good Day to Die Hard, which was a play
on It's a Good Day to Die from Star Trek. Yeah.
Today is a good day to die. Yeah. That line came
from Worf, but I mean, Die Hard, Star Trek, they
have a few things in common. We'll get to that.
Few. Very few. Very little. Very small. But yes,
Die Hard. came out in oh joy nothing like celebrating
the independence of America in 1990 with terrorists
taking over the Washington DC airport of Dulles
oh my god are you kidding me This came out July
4th, 1990. I can't. Oh, man. Oh, I was 10 when
this came out. You were 4 at the time. No. You
were, yeah, 86, 90. Yeah, you were 4. You were
4 years apart. That's right. Yeah, I was. I was
little. Yeah, you a little. Holy crap, folks.
10 p .m. and my math is... That's not bad, Mike.
That's not bad at all. But yeah, Die Hard 2,
Die Harder, was directed by... Now, I was surprised
at this. I was really surprised at this, and
we are going to go through this man's filmography
just a little bit. I had forgotten who, because
Die Hard 2 is kind of like the one, up until
the fifth movie, when it was originally just
the fourquel or whatever. I knew the first two
movies, the first movie and the third movie was
John McTiernan. I don't remember off the top
of my head who directed the fourth one. I'll
look at that later. And like we said in the last
episode of the podcast, the second one is kind
of like a blank spot. It's kind of like a missing
whatever kind of thing for us. And it really
is, because literally I completely forgot that
it was Rennie Harlan that directed this. And
I know Renny's name from other films because
I've seen other things that he has done. Like
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4, The Dream Master.
That came out in 88. That came out the same year
that Die Hard, the original Die Hard movie came
out. He directed Cutthroat Island in 1995. That
was the adventure swashbuckling film with...
That was the... the pirate type film that came
out in 95. He directed another one that I actually
will be covering here on the podcast with somebody
in the future. Cause I actually love this film.
It was actually, it'll be covered next year here
on the podcast. Cause it'll be its 30th anniversary.
The long kiss. Good night. It's an American action
thriller film with Samuel Jackson. It's a, it's
a Shane black film. If anyone remembers Shane
Black's name, Lethal Weapon, other things. It
stars Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, and others.
He did not direct Blast from the Past with Brendan
Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, but he worked
on that movie. He directed the Sly Stallone race
car movie Driven in 2001. I have no frame of
reference for that. Really? Yeah, I've never
seen that. You've never seen Driven? No. Man.
It came out basically the same year as Fast and
the Furious, except it didn't take off. Driven
is one of those movies where it's literally meant
to be a single movie, whereas the Fast and the
Furious took off and became its own multi -billion
dollar franchise that ended up... putting cars
in space. Driven took the other path where Fast
and the Furious is NASCAR type race car stuff.
Driven is basically the Indianapolis 500 type
cars. But yeah, I'll show you a trailer for Driven
later. He did the WWE film with John Cena, 12
rounds. So there's that. uh but yeah i mean and
that's the thing like he's done all these films
and i'm trying to see what he's done recently
that you would know like like yeah like he's
one of those directors that is not he's a very
niche director he's not a michael bay like literally
nightmare on elm street part four is probably
in die hard 2 or probably the only two in cliffhanger
from 93 cliffhanger was a, uh, another Stallone
film that you might remember also had, uh, John
Lithgow and Michael Rooker in it. Um, but yeah,
I mean, he's a very niche director for, for what,
uh, for what he's done, but I mean, Hey, die
hard too, right? Just the facts, man. Just the
facts. Yeah. I mean, it, It wasn't bad. I mean,
I actually had a totally different thought of
it after I watched it again. Okay. All right.
Well, the differences in the cast for this one
compared to the first one pretty much is it basically
comes in the villain. So you have the heroes
of Bruce Willis as this time the LAPD Lieutenant
Detective John McClane. So he went out to LA.
I was shocked. I did not think that the story
was going to move him out to LA. Cause again,
I did not remember this cause for me, die hard.
The franchise goes from the first film to the
third film. And in the third film, he's back
in New York. So, you know, uh, it has his wife,
Holly. It has, uh, Richard Thornburg, AKA Dickie
Thornburg. So William Atherton's in this. It
has a, Sort of, he's on screen, but it's more
of like a phone call, phone -in appearance by
Reginald L. Johnson as LAPD Sergeant Al Powell.
So at least Al is here. And then that's it. Everybody
else is pretty much all new villains, all new
side characters. You've got Tom Bauer as Marvin,
who basically stands in for... Argyle because
Marvin is essentially the Argyle of this and
you get Art Evans as Leslie Barnes who is the
airport chief engineer who is also it's kind
of again it's kind of like they took one role
and split it into two they kind of took Argyle
and made it the Marvin character and the engineer
character so John could have two different sides
of whatever character, two different types of
whatever character. And then you got Fred Dalton
Thompson as Ed Trudeau, who is the air traffic
flight director. Fred Dalton Thompson, very well
known. He was Arthur Branch, the lead DA, the
head district attorney on Law & Order for many,
many years. Very, very awesome. And of course,
we have Dennis Franz as airport police captain
Carmine Lorenzo. This is just a few, again, these
movies, Die Hard and Die Hard 2 and other things,
it's just a few years before he would hit NYPD
Blue. Because then, oh, no. Yeah, no, it is.
NYPD Blue, he played Detective Sergeant Andy
Sipowitz from 93 to 2005. So imagine the Carmine
Falcone character, except he's on TV every week
and he shows his ass at least once a season.
Meh. Well, okay, but I'm saying, like... He doesn't
show it once a season, but it was a big thing
for ABC in the 90s that Dennis Franz showed his
ass on television, literally. Because you know
how the big three are in ratings and censorship
and blah, blah, blah, especially in the 90s.
You didn't show your ass on regular TV. That
was unheard of. Oh, my God. Like I said last
episode, the cast of Die Hard really isn't stacked.
It's a good cast. I said then, and I'll say now.
When I say it isn't stacked, I don't mean that
it isn't a good cast. I'm saying they didn't
throw everything in the kitchen sink into that
cast. This movie, the sequel? They threw in a
bunch of people, not only in the starring roles
for the main characters that you see in the movie,
but even in the roles that you barely see. Like,
you got John Leguizamo as one of the additional
cast member terrorist people. You also have,
which, I mean, you can't not notice this guy.
coming up because this was a couple of years
before his sunglasses cop routine you got robert
patrick in the you got the t -1000 in this movie
like how do you not notice that especially now
in 2025 going back all these years later i picked
him out of the lineup like within two seconds
so i was like hey it was funny seeing some of
the some of the people that you've seen other
stuff but absolutely all right so you said that
you had you you said you came away with a different
feeling or a different whatever so what are your
overall thoughts on die hard to die harder sir
excuse me you and faxes Yeah, well, Holly told
me I should wake up and smell the 90s. Honestly,
I hated this film to begin with because I'd never
watched it all the way through. I'd seen the
end and I found the beginning and the early parts
of the movie all the way through halfway to be
extremely boring when I watched it the first
time around. And I don't know why. I think it
was because I saw a diehard one and then I saw
a diehard three. Yeah. And then I was watching
Die Hard 2 and I'm like, eh, this kind of sucks.
And I mean, going back and rewatching it, like
them back to back to back, like in order. Yeah.
I've completely changed my tune. Like, yes, this
one takes place, you know, in that same season.
Yeah. But it's not in a tower. It's in a plane.
It's, you know, he's doing all kinds of crazy
stuff. I did feel like they umped up the ante
as far as all of the things that they had him
doing. It was getting more action oriented. Yes,
yes, yes. Not that it was bad, but part of it
was unbelievable in a lot of it. The first one
was more believable, more grounded, more like
you felt for the character. You saw him getting...
He had to step on shards of glass. He's scooting
across the floor. He's getting all these other
perilous things happening that he's just like,
I'm terrified. This sucks. just happenstance
of situation this one it was more like i noticed
something wrong i'm gonna go take care of it
yep uh rather than you know anything else like
it was kind of like yeah he was in the wrong
place at the wrong time kind of like he is with
all the films but it not that i disliked the
film but i did i it started a slippery slope
with this film where everything got more uh more
involved more dangerous more you know you know
the stunts starting to get more unbelievable
like this one yeah it it was more believable
than like say diehard four and five but but no
i mean i i enjoyed it i liked the villains i
liked how they kind of played everything out
i liked you know his role and he was telling
everybody to you know shove off and he's doing
his own thing yeah i mean it I enjoyed it for
what it was this time around. I had those couple
of nitpicks, but it really didn't like I watched
it all the way through. There was nothing that
I disliked or hated. Yeah. And I mean, yeah,
the end where he ups and lights the plane on
fire, you know, because he punctured it. Yeah.
And, you know, lights it on fire on the ground
and then it shoots up into the plane engine.
Yeah. Was quite funny. So, I mean. Yeah, I mean,
there were moments where it's unbelievable, but
it evolved very quickly from what it was in Die
Hard 1 to your standard Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Stallone film. Yeah. So it kind of took itself
away from itself, whereas Beverly Hills Cop,
for instance, stayed pretty grounded in what
it was. Yeah, so... By comparison. Right, but
the difference is between Beverly Hills Cop 1
and 2 and Die Hard 1 and 2 Axel is in real life
Axel isn't contained in either film. Axel isn't
in a that's the difference. In Die Hard McClane
is in a contained situation. He is in that building.
He's not leaving that building. That's the big
difference. That's the unique difference with
Die Hard. He's trapped in a building. He can't
get out. He can't leave. He only has the one
communication thing with Al downstairs. uh uh
principal vernon from the breakfast club there
uh may the man rest in peace he's been gone a
long time but uh paul gleason uh deputy who is
this deputy duane robinson or whatever his name
is and in the movie so that's the that's the
unique difference with the original diehard movie
from 1988 is that that film intentionally the
story is He's trapped in a building. He's a,
he's a, he's a New York city cop trapped in an
LA high rise with all these people at this Christmas
party and all the other diehard movies, or at
least one through three or two, three and four.
Cause I, I five at this point, folks in the recordings,
I don't give two shits about diehard five. I
don't care about going to see mother Russia and
his kid. I just don't care at this point. because
I haven't seen it, and I probably will change
my mind when I see it. But because I've seen
this movie and Vengeance and Live Free, what
I'll say is with this movie is that, yeah, you're
right, absolutely, 100%. They got a chance to
up the ante for John and for the rest of the
plot, and I know it's based on whichever of the...
the the second book and i know there's notes
here in in wikipedia that say the differences
like originally in the book it was his daughter
that was on the plane or something or other whatever
okay fine they they changed a couple of lie but
again they they changed the plot to fit the film
like it makes no sense to make a die hard to
die harder and have it be lucy who is probably
what the thing it like What I wish, I'm assuming
it's the next Christmas after the first one.
Like it's the following Christmas after 1988.
So it makes more sense that it's his wife on
the plane, not his nine -year -old, 10 -year
-old daughter. Of course, so that change from
the book is going to make sense. This one, it's
not just... And Hans said it himself. Who said
we're terrorists? They're bank robbers. They're
money grabbers. They're people who want the money.
Like, they're just people who want the money.
Like, they're common criminals. At the end of
the day, they're common friggin' criminals in
the first movie. Like, are they dangerous common
criminals? Absolutely. Fuck yes, they are. Look
at all the people they killed. You know? I mean,
not trying to take away from the fact that they're
dangerous people. But no one ever said that Hans
Gruber and his people were terrorists. I mean,
they called like they didn't call themselves
terrorists. Other people in the movie called
them terrorists. These people here in this movie,
oh, they're terrorists. So that's the difference.
That's the huge difference. Like these people
are from this liberation front. And like when
Hans is listing off the people he wants released
in the first movie, because. Forgive me, folks.
I literally, as of this recording, like 12 and
a half hours ago, just finished editing the first
episode of this series. So literally like New
Asian Dawn and Liberation, whatever the list
Hans gave to Deputy Dwayne there. Paul Gleeson,
may the man rest in peace, I say again. I have
that thought in my head. So these are the people
that he was trying to free. Or that he said he
wanted to free. These are the terrorists. And
these are the people that are taking over the
Dulles Airport here. So, yeah, this is bigger.
This is more stakes. And this is a wider... This
isn't John McClane trapped in a 30th floor. A
35 -story building. This is John McClane out
in the open. This is John McClane out in the
middle of Michigan, folks. I'm not kidding. I
know this film was shot in Michigan. A lot of
it. So I scrolled down because originally the
scenes from Dulles were the snow scenes were
supposed to be shot in Denver. but filming was
scrapped due to warm weather. I wonder. It does
happen here a lot. I know, I know, I know. So
some outdoor scenes were filmed in Alpena, Michigan,
while others needing to accommodate the landing
of the 747 with snow were filmed at former Kitchenlow
Air Force Base in Kitchenlow, Michigan, while
other scenes were filmed on a soundstage in Los
Angeles using fake snow. So that's how they accomplished
all of the background stuff for the snow stuff,
folks, here in Die Hard 2. I still like this
movie. Again, it's not... Like I said in the
last episode, the Die Hard movies for me are...
Watch them every now and then. they're not comfort
watches for me. They're not like, Oh my God,
I must. They're not. Oh my God. I must watch
that. They're not even background noise. Like
I can't put any of these movies on for background
noise. Like do, do these, a lot of these lines
live rent free in my head. Absolutely. Obviously.
I mean, we say yippee -ki -yay motherfucker.
Like it's, you know, second nature, but yippee
-ki -yay, Mr. Falcon. going back and re -watching
every time i re -watch the second film i enjoy
it because of the characters because of the plot
and the plot is it is what it is it's a it's
a terrorist general trying to get himself free
it's the terrorists trying to take over whatever
it is what it is What got me this time, though,
was I had forgotten that Grant's team was in
on it with the terrorists. Grant is John Amos
is the black guy. The special forces team that
comes in tries to take over. They are in on it
with the terrorists because what gets me is apparently
they have a new guy that joined them. And apparently
the new guy doesn't know that they are actually
bad guys. And Grant, in the truck, just immediately
kills the new guy. And all the other guys are
like, eh, okay. So, yeah. Die Hard. I mean, this
is... What else did I write down in my notes
here for this one? This one is more of gets at
a fucking point than the mysterious mystery of
who is doing what to whom. We get introductions,
but not like the first film for the bad guys.
We see who the bad guys are, but we don't get...
These villains are not talking villains. The
way we get introduced to the first villain, we
see his ass. If Die Hard 2 Die Harder was made
in 2025, we would not have seen that villain's
ass. I guarantee it. Even if it was a rated R
movie. Let's see. We know John and Holly. Great.
But then the rest, it's a mystery. But not edge
of your seat mysterious. Easiest way to tell
that the... that the special forces guys are
on the bad guys team? Blue for blanks, red for
real bullets because they had the same tape on
their guns. I've known that for, what was it,
30 years? How long ago was that? Funny, it's
almost like red laser, blue laser from G .I.
Joe. Pretty much, yeah. I've known that. Oh,
well. Happy 35th anniversary, Die Hard 2. 35
years ago is when this movie came out. I forgot
that this was the 35th anniversary of this film.
But yeah, for 35 years I've known red tape, blue
tape, blue blanks, red blanks thing. And then
I remember mentioning in the last episode about
some rocket launcher. And it wasn't a freaking
rocket launcher. You already mentioned it. But
what happens is when John... Gets airlifted by
the news crew, by the news lady and her crew.
And he jumps onto the wing and he puts his coat
into the aileron. He fights off, which I think
is absolutely hilarious. He fights off Grant
and Grant ends up going through the jet engine
to die. I know, but the way that he did it. Yeah.
He was like, I don't need any more friends. He's
like, I'm sick of you. And then he kicks him.
And then I was like, I'm just getting flashbacks
of when Captain Kirk kicked Christopher Lloyd
off the mountain into the planet that was eating
itself in Star Trek 3. And he's like, I have
had enough of you and kicks him in the face and
he falls down into the pit. And I was seeing
that when I saw John McClane kicking Grant. Uh,
as he got sucked backwards and into the grinder.
Yeah. So we get that. And then we, we get, uh,
him fighting up against, uh, the, the other,
not the general, but the other, is it not as
Esperanza is the general, the other dude, the
Nate, the formerly naked dude from the beginning
of the movie. and he ends up not really kicking
his butt. He gets his butt kicked, and he gets
his butt kicked off the plane. But in the midst
of this fight, the fuel flap, he was in the middle
of opening the fuel flap to get the fuel to come
out of the plane. So that's what it is. So when
the second guy comes out after they kill the
black guy, after they kill Grant, uh john is
on the edge there trying to open that fuel flap
the fuel flap is open the fuel is splitting it
is is spilling out he gets kicked off the plane
and that's where we get the lighter and yippee
-ki -yay mr falcon yippee -ki -yay mr falcon
yippee -ki -yay And that's how the plane blows
up is the fire trail. But that also leads into
the plot point of because there are no runway
lights, the planes who have been circling and
have no fuel because they've been held hostage
up in the air. And they can't see the runway.
Right, because there's no lights. Well, now they're
going to use the fire to come in. And the first
plane to land, obviously, is Holly's plane. And
a subplot point for this is Holly, along with
Mr. Thornburg, are on the same flight. Which
was funny. He's like, keep her away from me.
I've got a restraining order. What did you do
to him? I punched his lights out. And then she's
like, you want a drink? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
And then. Holly, later in the movie, by the end
of the movie, hears him broadcasting the whole
thing, hears him broadcasting the recording that
he stole, and hears him playing the recording
that he stole, the broadcast of the other character.
Leslie, what's Leslie's name? Art Evans' character,
Barnes, I remember his first name, not his last
name. Barnes is, when he's talking about using
the beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, instead of
using it as a beeping beacon, he uses it as a
beeping beacon. So Thornburg is transmitting
that to the TV reporters. She takes the old lady's
stun gun and basically just stuns Thornburg in
the bathroom. In the airplane lavatory. So that's
the end of Mr. Thornburg. And that's the last
we see of Mr. Thornburg. And Holly. Yeah, technically,
yeah. I mean, we do kind of... We get to hear
that something happened in the third movie, but...
They separated or whatever, and she's calling
on the phone. Yeah, yeah, but there's nothing
more. Um, and then I forget what happens in the,
if anything is said in the fourth movie about
her, but by the fourth movie, Lucy's all grown
up and who the hell knows where Jack, Oh, Jack's
probably still in mother Russia. Yeah. Yeah.
So, but no diehard too. I really, I really enjoyed
this. I've only seen this movie a handful of
times over the years, but it was damn good. It's
definitely, having seen all five now, it's definitely
on par with the third one. Yeah. Although, I
don't know, maybe the third one's less so than...
Like, I'm torn because the first one's the first
one. Like, it's number one. And then I'm tied
for second with the third and the second. and
then i would put the fourth you know at tied
for third if you know for whatever one falls
off the second and then the fifth is still the
fifth yeah the fifth is always gonna and i know
i i should not say this yet because i have not
seen it but i'm just gonna say the fifth is always
gonna come in last place because the fifth should
have never been made i mean even if you go to
like imdb the the ratings the the first one has
an 8 .2 this one has a 7 .1 The third one has
a 7 .6. The fourth one has 7 .1 and the fifth
one has 5 .2. I don't know. This film was not
too bad, though. I did like, again, that Colonel
Stewart, you know, he was a really good villain.
You know, kind of not over the top, but not horrible.
Yeah, he had a mission and they kept thinking
that they took out McClane. Lo and behold, here
he is again. Here he is again. Which seems to
be the shtick for all of these is like, oh, we
killed him. No, we didn't. No, you didn't. Oh,
we killed him. Is there a body? No, there's not.
He's still alive. Yeah. Well, it's like Holly
says. Is it in this one or the other one? I think
it's the first one. She might say it in this
one, too. He's still alive because only John
can make a man that mad. Or whatever it is. There's
some lines she has in one of the first two movies.
Yeah, only John can make someone that mad. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Yeah, so he's still alive. So, yeah.
So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Really quickly,
before we do anything else in the script, I did
want to quickly run down some music stuff just
because this was, this score was released years
ago. However, it's not... Diary 2's score was
not released along with the film. It was published
by some company on August 31st, 1993, three years
after the film's release. The accompanying album
consisted only of 40 minutes of music, part of
an hour's score being used in the film. And then
on November 5th, 2012, the same company published
a two CD deluxe edition, which consisted of the
complete score and alternate cues, which were
not used in the score. That was in 2012. So Die
Hard 2, All In Records, get on it. Come on, Matt.
Come on, Michael. You guys, you got to get on
Die Hard 2. Die harder because I know you guys,
even though it's sold out. You guys did the 30th
anniversary remastered limited edition 3CD set
of Die Hard because I have it in my closet. This
has... I forgot to bring it last time with the
Die Hard episode. Three discs, 40 minutes total.
Actually, no. 182 minutes and 44 seconds total.
Has previously unreleased music, has previously
unreleased material, includes Christmas in Hollis
by Run DMC and a bunch of other stuff. I could
not stop listening to this when I got this from
them years ago. I love that three CD set from
Die Hard, but they also have... Die Hard with
a Vengeance, and that is still available for
purchase. It is still... Oh, no, it is sold out.
I'm so sorry. It was a two -CD set, but it is
also sold out. I thought I had that one. I have
to go look in my closet again, I guess. But this
one has... If I can pull the information up.
It is, like I said, two -disc set. I'm trying
to see the things. specific to the Sun. It does
have some previous land release material, and
then contains unreleased music. Yeah, no, there's
nothing. I mean, it's pretty much the full soundtrack
from With a Vengeance. But yeah, I'm going to
have to track that down before we do the next
episode, because I need to listen to me some
Die Hard With a Vengeance. But yeah, folks, so
that's that. Getting into our questions here,
do the film keep your interest throughout? Oh,
totally. Absolutely. Are we itching to watch
the next film now? Uh, yeah. Duh. What if we've
already watched it? Well, you know, some people
have, some people haven't. Would you recommend
this film to people? Yeah, actually, I would.
I will defend this one because it's... Like we
said, it's not... It's Die Hard, but it's not
the Die Hard you know. It's the Die Hard characters
outside of what you think of Die Hard. It's their
story continuing. It's the further adventures
of John McClane and his blah, blah, blah. And
it's not the... high pedestal that we always
put With a Vengeance on, which it should be on
that high pedestal. I'm not saying it shouldn't
be, because With a Vengeance is great. We will
figure that out next time, obviously. But yeah,
I really would recommend Die Harder to people.
I really, really dug it. Yeah, this is one of
those ones I would agree. I would recommend it.

it? 14 chapters. It's called Altered Audio. Podcasting
Demystified. And it's going to be on the Amazon
Kindle for digital. It'll be on Amazon for the
paperback and Barnes & Noble. dot com for the
paperback and possibly it can end up in stores.
I don't I don't know. But that is a possibility.
Very cool. Very cool. So I'm geeked for it. Yeah,
I could have called it altered geek, but that
just no altered audio sounded better because
I was like, I'm going to use the altered in it,
you know, and play along with that theme still.
But but it is altering the audio. So, yeah, absolutely.
The goal. is, is teaching about podcasting and
not being a, uh, a gatekeeper. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. So, yeah. So yeah, I'm excited and it,
it will come out August 8th, August 8th, 2025
