• 0:07
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Dad needs to
• 0:10
  talk. I'm your host Robert and today
• 0:13
  you're probably wondering who gets up Mother's Day and decides
• 0:20
  m0re Blood on the tracks. Well, that is me.
• 0:28
  I am the person who woke up this this sunny mother.
• 0:35
  Day and kind of kind of just laying around and just thing,
• 0:39
  like, you know what, today's the perfect time to finally start
• 0:44
  Blood on the tracks. And so, here we are. so, Shoes
• 0:52
  out, who she me? You got me, you got me?
• 0:58
  Cuz this is why I like, because II had volume 1 or, but on the
• 1:02
  tracks and my collection since like sometime last year.
• 1:06
  And I pick the volume to maybe a few months back when there
• 1:11
  because I was, I was like, you know what?
• 1:12
  I know eventually I'm going to want to read this, so I'll
• 1:14
  probably start buying them over time, and so, yeah.
• 1:21
  So, but before I fully dive in, let me just get a little bit of
• 1:24
  background. So shoes.
• 1:26
  I was showing me the author of butter.
• 1:28
  Tracks. He also did a couple of other
• 1:29
  save, the John might know such as the flowers of evil happiness
• 1:34
  inside Amari, which is the only other one that I've read.
• 1:37
  I read that like a month or so ago, and he also did a welcome
• 1:42
  back Alice. So this is a psychological
• 1:47
  Thriller series, basically about more or less a super
• 1:54
  overprotective mother and her son.
• 1:58
  So, yeah. So this is one that I had heard
• 2:05
  from people over the last year, since I've really been in, in
• 2:08
  the, in the manga Community about like, hey, once you start
• 2:11
  reading, you don't get hooked and the people were not lying
• 2:15
  because I blew through these two volumes so fast this morning and
• 2:23
  I was like I was like man, I need to get to the store ASAP.
• 2:28
  And by at least like volume 3 and 4, but my cousin's bookstore
• 2:33
  runs. It wasn't going to be hoping for
• 2:34
  another like two hours and I'm like, I can't just sit here,
• 2:38
  twiddling my thumbs for two hours, waiting for the store to
• 2:41
  open. So, I ended up buying getting
• 2:44
  getting them, getting them digitally, and my plan was To
• 2:52
  maybe just read a volume or maybe like a couple of hours,
• 2:55
  whatever, but shoes out. Oh, she me Every volume just
• 3:02
  kept on ending at a point where I'm like, well I got to read the
• 3:08
  next one as I just kept going and going and going.
• 3:12
  And I have thus this morning, read all of the current English
• 3:17
  release volumes of one through eight.
• 3:20
  So I am caught up with the with the physical volume releases.
• 3:24
  and I, It was so freaking good. It was so freaking good.
• 3:35
  So everything from the art of it to just the Mind Games that the
• 3:46
  mothers playing on the sun and everything in between.
• 3:52
  It has been just a just a rollercoaster of a of a read for
• 3:57
  me this morning and one that I highly recommend to anybody, if
• 4:03
  you are a fan of psychological Thriller stuff than blood on the
• 4:10
  tracks is a super high recommendation.
• 4:14
  Like I feel confident enough in saying that You can just
• 4:20
  straight-up. Hey, if you have the money to
• 4:22
  just go ahead and just get all the currently currently released
• 4:24
  volumes. Because if you are a fan of
• 4:27
  psychological thrillers, then you're going to want everything
• 4:31
  that you can get your hands on. Because like I said, lie, like
• 4:35
  once I started reading because previously went back.
• 4:40
  When I first got the Volume last year, whatever.
• 4:43
  I had. I started reading volume 1 and I
• 4:49
  pretty much got to this Infamous double page spread of the mom
• 4:54
  smiling, which is just a few pages into the volume.
• 4:57
  And when I saw her face off, Something Told Me deep inside, I
• 5:01
  was like, Robert, you're not ready for this now.
• 5:05
  And so, I put it down and I waited and I waited and I waited
• 5:09
  until we got here on Mother's day, which is probably the most
• 5:13
  Twisted time to read this, but I read it and I cannot be happier
• 5:21
  that I finally did and I only wish that I had all of the
• 5:28
  volumes in my hand right now just to have them on my shelf in
• 5:31
  my collection, but I will get them eventually.
• 5:34
  But this was such a freaking fantastic read.
• 5:39
  But y'all know that I can't just read a volumes of this and not
• 5:48
  give any discussions and stuff. So I'm going to say from here in
• 5:52
  a minute. I'm going to some spoilers of
• 5:54
  everything up through the end of volume 8 but just know.
• 5:58
  Like I said, super high recommendation.
• 6:00
  If you are a fan of psychological thrillers then
• 6:05
  this is one that you cannot miss.
• 6:08
  Now I will have a time stamp right here but we're about to
• 6:14
  dive into a little bit of spoilers because like I said, I
• 6:17
  need somebody to talk to and that is going to be y'all today.
• 6:22
  So, when this thing started, I didn't really know like how like
• 6:29
  like what direction the psychological Thriller stuff is
• 6:32
  going to go with all I knew, you know, going in was just like,
• 6:35
  okay, this is something about a mother and her son, but I
• 6:40
  didn't, I guess I wasn't like super surprised it happened, but
• 6:46
  I still was surprised when it happened when they are on the
• 6:52
  hiking trip with the whole family and the one cousin they
• 6:56
  kept coming over bugging, bugging them all summer.
• 7:04
  When she pushed him off that Cliff.
• 7:08
  When because honestly I I kind of suspected it.
• 7:13
  Somebody's gonna fall off a cliff because when he was
• 7:17
  goofing off at first and he almost push the boy off of the
• 7:21
  cliff The first time and the mom call him and everybody was like,
• 7:27
  oh my God you're so overprotective or whatever it
• 7:31
  was like no this is not going to end well for somebody and then
• 7:36
  they go off the two boards. Go up to use the bathroom Again
• 7:39
  by themselves, the main character.
• 7:42
  Say, and then the cousin Shaker. Ooh, she Guru.
• 7:46
  And then the cousins are, hey, come over here.
• 7:48
  I was like, he's gonna try some Shenanigans again and then, of
• 7:51
  course, the mother she was there.
• 7:53
  She's always there. She's always somewhere close by
• 7:55
  lurking and the cousin on the cliff.
• 8:00
  Hey, look at me. It's dangerous and the mom.
• 8:04
  Grabs him. I'm okay.
• 8:06
  Then she's like, you know what, you can go and shove them off
• 8:14
  and thus the true mind games begin, because then she begins,
• 8:19
  she starts to play this victim but it is so wild.
• 8:23
  How throughout all these volumes is this back and forth to where
• 8:27
  she's like no I didn't do it, I didn't do it.
• 8:29
  But then secretly. She wants to get caught which at
• 8:33
  the end of volume 8, she gets caught.
• 8:36
  Cuz man. That volume.
• 8:41
  So first of all so you know he just showed up the cliff he
• 8:46
  survives, but he's in kind of like a little bit like a calm.
• 8:51
  I / vegetative state for, I think, probably some months and
• 8:58
  Then, you know, he starts to kind of get a little bit better,
• 9:01
  whatever, but he doesn't have memory of the mom and the son
• 9:07
  and eventually, you know, they come home and stuff. and, Then
• 9:16
  the moment when she Guru when okay, so when the mom and the
• 9:20
  aunt went in the kitchen to go do dinner.
• 9:22
  Whatever as say was in there with she Guru and he's like,
• 9:27
  man, like what do we talk about? Oh yeah.
• 9:29
  And then sugar of just gets up and starts walking after, you
• 9:33
  know, the have to do. I just thought he was just
• 9:35
  talking about how he's trying to be, you know, he's, he's got a
• 9:37
  little bit more motion and his left side or whatever.
• 9:40
  But, you know, he'll probably be able to use his left arm and all
• 9:43
  this stuff. Whatever in do.
• 9:44
  Time. But when he does get something
• 9:46
  just starts walking. It's like yo what is up with
• 9:51
  this? And then say catches him when
• 9:56
  he's about to fall but then also kind of just like catches him.
• 9:59
  But now it's kind of shovel into the ground and then the are kind
• 10:02
  of confirm. She's kind of like confront him
• 10:04
  in though and the mom is kind of.
• 10:05
  Hey, don't get mad on me asking this but I just got to know.
• 10:10
  Did you shove my son off? That Cliff did?
• 10:12
  Did you push him off that cliff? And then say steps in and the,
• 10:18
  this is Truly see. Like the manipulation is
• 10:20
  Mother's been doing like really coming out because he's like
• 10:23
  screams of the I like how. How dare you accuse my mom
• 10:27
  pushing him. He she tried to save him but she
• 10:30
  can get there in time and yada yada yada, and then they end up
• 10:33
  leaving. But then when the freaking aunt
• 10:39
  Call Em on the way home from school.
• 10:41
  As I come on nephew, I'll give you a ride home.
• 10:44
  It is freezing cold, baby. You only by side like this and
• 10:48
  gives him a ride home and confronts him in the car about
• 10:51
  everything. I thought they were gonna crash
• 10:53
  in the car cuz I cuz they start testing and stuff while she's
• 10:56
  driving and he just dips out the car and runs home and tell his
• 11:00
  mama. Hey you know she's she's onto us
• 11:03
  so she she know she says that he woke up or whatever and said
• 11:08
  that she didn't the staff, and then that final volume where
• 11:14
  They come home. And the whole family is there
• 11:17
  and is like, hey, let's have a talk in.
• 11:19
  The mom is just confesses at the end of volume anus.
• 11:22
  Like yep. Yep, I shove them.
• 11:24
  Yep, I did it. And so now it's like, man, where
• 11:30
  is this going to go from here? You know, and backtracking a bit
• 11:34
  because in between all that man, I was so sad to see the roller
• 11:41
  coaster Arc of say. And fuku fukushi the his little
• 11:49
  girlfriend. He had super briefly, but it was
• 11:53
  like, man, like just like him having the trauma and not being
• 11:57
  able to speak for a while to, you know, lash now kicking the
• 12:03
  desk. But then, like this girl, she is
• 12:07
  somebody as ever to like, can I relate and connect with him and
• 12:10
  he begins to start to talk and come out of his shell.
• 12:13
  And so to become his own? Person be independent, but man.
• 12:18
  When they were sneaking off or they were hanging out on the
• 12:21
  little bench by the river whatever.
• 12:23
  And then the mom comes up and is like, hey, what are y'all doing?
• 12:27
  Come back here and they run off into the garden, to the tall,
• 12:30
  grass, or whatever. And tries to hide before the mom
• 12:33
  sees catches them, whatever. And then say, stepping up here,
• 12:37
  to his mom being like, no, you are not going to, you know, to
• 12:41
  touch her leave her along to him in the girls spend the night
• 12:45
  together and say having his Spurs.
• 12:51
  Puberty experience and stuff. And then the mom coming over to
• 12:57
  their house, to the girlfriend's house, and then the dad catching
• 13:01
  them. And then the mom, and then all
• 13:04
  this stuff, where they under the bridge, you know, making out and
• 13:08
  stuff, and they say, pushes off her runs home.
• 13:12
  And then the mom confronts him, like, hey, what really happened.
• 13:15
  What did you do? What did you do with that, girl?
• 13:18
  She she's showing him the underwear with the stains.
• 13:20
  I, hey, what is this? What all did y'all do?
• 13:23
  You know, did y'all do it from the front?
• 13:25
  Just I'll do it from the back. I was like, whoa.
• 13:27
  Whoa, like Mom, I just kissed her and then stuff happened and
• 13:32
  that she talks to him outside being like, yeah, my house.
• 13:35
  You used your filthy getting my house and just as whole all
• 13:39
  these freaking things that just led to the Mind Games and
• 13:42

• 13:54
  me to all I want to talk to food for Kishi.
• 13:56
  No more and yada yada yada. And then she had him in the, in
• 14:01
  his, in her clutches. Now, as so just went back to be
• 14:05
  a mama's boy and then like the conversation he had with the
• 14:09
  bullets, which they deserved because they've been picking on
• 14:11
  him throughout all the series so far.
• 14:14
  And he finally snapped and beat the crap out of one of them. but
• 14:20
  yeah, like these eight volumes were just such a freaking roller
• 14:23
  coaster man and and now I'm on the Pain Train with the rest of
• 14:29
  y'all having to wait for these volumes to come out because man
• 14:33
  I can't even imagine like reading some of these like early
• 14:36
  volumes and stuff is like really something like first kind of
• 14:38
  pick up whatever and having to wait the months between volume
• 14:42
  releases man but I'm now a blood on the tracks profit.
• 14:54
  I will now be singing the Praises of shoes are.
• 14:58
  Oh she me and Andy psychological greatness.
• 15:03
  That is built on the tracks but yeah y'all I didn't need to go
• 15:10
  like step by step with every single thing box.
• 15:12
  I just had to just like gush and just shout into the void.
• 15:17
  All this craziness that has happened and just knowing that
• 15:21
  there is so much more to come because like, cuz now it's like,
• 15:25
  okay, the mom has fast up in front of everybody.
• 15:29
  You know, the the aunt, Uncle the dad and so now I'm like okay
• 15:37
  because honestly I was expecting at some point.
• 15:39
  Okay. Is she going to have killing off
• 15:41
  the husband can off the aunt? And who's to say, she still
• 15:44
  might, you know, playing opportunities for death to come
