02:42:58 - Listener's Questions:
Josh: If Unicron is successful what’s next? Where do they go after Unicron? What could possibly be made that would require backers? What would you like to see Haslab do next?

Brotha Kyle: Who is more entitled? Transformers fans or Phillies fans?.......Go Bards!

Tyler: Is every cybertronian build with a chamber in their chest to host the matrix of leadership at the chance it picks them? Or is Optimus, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and Star Saber just lucky to have had specifically designed storage for such an artifact?

Dors: Hey what’s up Jed, Levi and Dakota. Hope you guys are all doing well. Tonight I have not so much a question but a bit of a rant!
With all the Unicron drama going on I’m sure you’ll have already covered it on the show tonight but... What the fuck is wrong with people man? Seriously!
I know the TF community has always been a strange and fickle bunch but I’m getting real sick of all the bullshit on the boards, groups and even at TFNation 2 weeks ago. Jokes are fine but here in the UK I’ve seen posts like “I can’t wait to see people’s faces when the crowdfunding fails” etc.
I’m sure some of it is just trolls being trolls but damn. People need to relax. What do you think causes it? Is it envy, is it fear of missing out or is just straight up petulance?
Personally I’m in on the crowdfund but whether you go Haslab or Zeta or neither, if you like it and you can afford it... you win! Simple! If you can’t afford it that’s unfortunate but that’s life.. I can’t afford a Ferrari but I still love looking at other people’s!
At the end of the day we’re toy collectors and I’m just really glad that there are people out there like your fine selves who enjoy it for what it is, don’t take it too seriously and help contribute with great shows like this and stasis lock to help make this hobby and community as fun as it is.
Rant over.. As always shout out to the whole gang, and keep up the great work.. oh and of course... fuck you Jon Bailey

Nate: Think of the most heinous thing done to you in the last 20 years. Can you forgive that person? and your ideal ice cream Sunday situation?
