Transcript
- 0:03What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
- 0:06Talk. I'm your host, Robert.
- 0:08And today today, I need to talk about me, me time, me time, as
- 0:16well as a couple movies, specifically Godzilla -1 and The
- 0:23Boy and the Heron. But before I get to that, if
- 0:28you're interested in my thoughts on those movies, check the time
- 0:31stamps and skip ahead for that. But as always, if this is your
- 0:35first time here, then welcome. But if you're returning listener
- 0:39and or watcher, then welcome back.
- 0:42Y'all know here at Danny's Talk it's all about fatherhood and
- 0:45family manga, anime and games. So I'm recording this almost
- 0:55midnight on Friday of the 15th December 15th, 2023, few minutes
- 1:02away from midnight. Just 'cause I need to talk, need
- 1:07need to clear my mind. And also, like I said, kind of I
- 1:10I've been wanted to talk about Godzilla -1 and The Boy and The
- 1:14Heron since I watched them last weekend.
- 1:19But this past week it just been just been insane to tell you all
- 1:26the truth, man. Just because it's like I do my
- 1:32best, you know, try to continue marching forward, keep pushing
- 1:36forward. But sometimes I think I don't
- 1:41really realize the true weight of the role and responsibility
- 1:51that I carry on the average day. So just to get a little bit of
- 1:56context what I'm talking about. So my my wife was pretty sick
- 1:59this past week. She ended up finding out she she
- 2:06had a bronchitis or whatever, but like leading up to it or
- 2:09whatever and has some potentially scary stuff, scary
- 2:12stuff, whatever. I had to go to the hospital, all
- 2:15that stuff, whatever. And so she pretty much was out
- 2:19of Commission most of this last week.
- 2:22But as always when you got a family, a household, kids
- 2:31business got to keep moving and so everything had to still get
- 2:36done. I got it done.
- 2:38So, you know, got everybody to practice to the practices and
- 2:41stuff and whatever last, you know, last weekend or Sunday.
- 2:49And then just going through the gauntlet all week of, you know,
- 2:56getting everybody up and off to school on the bus and off to
- 2:59school. Then make sure my wife is
- 3:02situated. Then me heading to work, doing
- 3:05what I'm doing. Then leaving work a little bit
- 3:08early most days of this week because I got to go get, you
- 3:12know, got to go pick up Vash from school, get home, make sure
- 3:17know they're good. And then you know, waiting for
- 3:20my oldest boy and the girls to call me at their various times
- 3:23like hey, I'm done with practice and whatever.
- 3:26And you know, depending on the day, you know it was like
- 3:29Tuesday was the last cross country meet.
- 3:33So did that Wednesday daughter had a one of my daughter's had a
- 3:40choir concert and then Thursday of course is the busiest day
- 3:44because that's basketball day. So luckily my wife was back
- 3:50mobile and stuff by then. But you know, it's like, you
- 3:52know, going to, you know, like I mentioned previously, I go to
- 3:57all the away games, my wife goes to all the home games because
- 4:02because our older son and the girls, they all play on the same
- 4:05day at the same time. It's just every week one of them
- 4:09is home, the other one is is away.
- 4:12So yeah, so, so yeah. So that that was kind of just
- 4:14the, the gauntlet of things I went through this weekend.
- 4:19So obviously, like my, my sleep pattern was crap all week just
- 4:27because I was going, going, going.
- 4:29And by the time, you know, you know, we get home from games or
- 4:34practices or concerts or track meets or whatever stuff,
- 4:38whatever, you know, then maybe having to go and get groceries
- 4:41or get some other stuff my wife might need or, you know, had to
- 4:45go out really late one night, actually Tuesday night or
- 4:48whatever, because my daughter needs stuff for her concert for
- 4:50the next day. And you know, all the normal
- 4:53just day-to-day stuff and make sure, OK, dinner.
- 4:56Oh crap. You know, forgot to cook
- 4:58something. So let me run pick up something
- 5:00to run to the store to grab something to heat up and yada,
- 5:02yada, yada. And then by the time I, you
- 5:05know, everybody's eating and settled and in bed and the house
- 5:09is quieting down, it's like 10:00 or whatever, 10:30.
- 5:16Then, you know, I shower and then pretty much just hop in the
- 5:20bed and rinse and repeat. I'm up at, you know, 5-6 in the
- 5:23morning the next day. And just, you know, there there,
- 5:27there was never really a point this week where I felt like,
- 5:30yes, I'm OK, yes, I'm going to bed early so I can catch up on
- 5:34rest, whatever. It's just like, no, you know, so
- 5:38yeah, so your boy is tired and like say just kind of just like
- 5:41really made me reflect on how much did I do.
- 5:46Like I said, like I do a lot. We do a lot On a normal
- 5:51day-to-day business when both me and my wife are good and healthy
- 5:56and functioning at the top of our game, we do a lot.
- 6:00But when you know she's out of Commission or whatever, and then
- 6:06I'm having it, OK, do keep everything going kind of times
- 6:10too, so to speak. You know, collect something,
- 6:13keeping the whole household, all the kids know, everybody's still
- 6:16going to practices, the games and events and stuff, whatever.
- 6:22And then make sure she's taken care of and, you know, got her
- 6:24medicines and resting and you know things like that or
- 6:29whatever. So whilst of course you know
- 6:31going to work, you know, make sure my work needs and stuff for
- 6:34or fulfilled and stuff. So, so yeah.
- 6:37So it it it was just a gauntlet this weekend.
- 6:42Like I said, just kind of maybe just really reflecting like so I
- 6:45really wanted to come and talk whatever just cuz it was like
- 6:48man, like everyday I was like man, I really want to talk about
- 6:51these movies or whatever, but I need to try to get what little
- 6:56rest I can cuz I got to go through this again tomorrow or
- 6:59whatever and so kind of felt like man, didn't it.
- 7:07Dang that that might be a good episode title someday.
- 7:12My life is a rogue light. Dang.
- 7:16I need, I need, I need to make note of that.
- 7:17Hold on yo oh man, my life is a rogue light.
- 7:31Oh hey, yeah. Yo they knew.
- 7:35So yeah so you know my life was crazy busy whatever.
- 7:40But you know All in all you know my wife is back feeling better
- 7:44and stuff and and so you know my daughters their team they
- 7:53finished first overall I think at the at the district cross
- 7:57country meet. So Congrats to them.
- 8:00My kids destroyed again in basketball this week.
- 8:04My son, he actually got to play against and reunite with a old
- 8:10teammate, somebody that he that he played with back eight years
- 8:17ago when he was playing for the YMCA, when when when all my kids
- 8:22first started. They started at the YMCA years
- 8:25ago, 2015 or whatever. And so there's a team photo we
- 8:29have on our kitchen bar that I see every day, whatever.
- 8:33And so when I was at the game and I saw this, you know the
- 8:36other, they were lining up for the jump ball or whatever.
- 8:39And as soon as I saw the kids face on the other team, I was
- 8:42like, I think that's the kids. I dug through my my media,
- 8:45Facebook and stuff, whatever. And I found a copy of the
- 8:47picture and looked at all and zoomed in.
- 8:49I was like Yep, that's him. So I got to talk to his dad and
- 8:52stuff after the game and get a picture of him and my son again
- 8:56and stuff. So that that was a very, very
- 8:59dope moment like. So just kind of get to reconnect
- 9:01with that after after eight years or whatever.
- 9:07But but yeah so like I like, like I said I I I kind of also
- 9:12like to just kind of want to talk because like I said just
- 9:14like me just thinking about stuff.
- 9:16Whatever this weekend. One thing to because I've never
- 9:20been trying to think about how I do with the podcast and
- 9:24different stuff, whatever, going forward.
- 9:27And I've also kind of been reminded of overthinking.
- 9:32And over and over planning is kind of like my kryptonite,
- 9:38'cause I start thinking about too many things, too many
- 9:41options or whatever. And then I just kind of get like
- 9:44crippled with choices. And like, I don't know if it's
- 9:48like an anxiety or whatever, but it's kind of like too many
- 9:50choices. Or for me, it's like getting
- 9:54getting too organized and structured doesn't jive with how
- 10:00I operate. Like I said key case in point.
- 10:02Me just run and decided hey you know what?
- 10:04I'm a recorder right before midnight or whatever when I
- 10:06probably should be in bed but I need to talk.
- 10:10But that's why for those of y'all that watch a lot of my
- 10:12videos, video versions of my stuff, whatever is like Rob Man.
- 10:15We've been saying the same the same variations of piles of
- 10:19manga behind you for many months and I know but once again just
- 10:26paralyzed with the choices and like well I'm keeping it this
- 10:30way because I'm planning on doing a read through of this or
- 10:33don't reviewing that or whatever and then I just end up not doing
- 10:38none of it and then nothing gets gets situated whatever.
- 10:42And here we are. But yeah, I I was just kind of
- 10:47just like to just just thinking on stuff whatever and just kind
- 10:51of just like trying to remind myself like hey don't over plan,
- 10:55just go with the flow just go with where your heart takes you
- 11:00because 'cause you know, as I've kind of as you know everybody
- 11:07does to like your end wrap up stuff, whatever.
- 11:10And I'm I'm gonna touch on this more specifically and the final
- 11:12thing I do my year reflection thing in a couple of weeks
- 11:16episode. But I was looking through my
- 11:20YouTube wrapped thing or whatever for my YouTube channel
- 11:25and just kind of, you know, be like, oh, hey, you know, you've
- 11:28gained out there like 80 new subscribers and did this many
- 11:32videos and yada, yada, yada. And it's like, OK, you know, for
- 11:37me, I'm like, man, you know, you know what if I could get more
- 11:40subscribers and done more and doing more collabs.
- 11:45And I've. I've been very distraught as
- 11:47I've heard me talk about a lot with me not being able to do my
- 11:52collaborations and have guests on and stuff, whatever, just
- 11:55because of the technical problems I had earlier in the
- 11:58year or whatever, just kind of just derailed all these plans
- 12:02and stuff I had. I had so many awesome people and
- 12:05conversations lined up to where that all just got derailed.
- 12:09And now here I am. But like I say when I kind of
- 12:13like really just like really sat back and just thought about it,
- 12:18I've done really well this year on the podcasting content front,
- 12:25all things considered. Because like I say again and I
- 12:29don't say so just to like brag and like, yeah, look at what
- 12:32Robert's all doing, whatever. But it's like, it's like on
- 12:36paper, on a baseline, married. I have 5 kids and I work in IT
- 12:46in the medical field, so IT medical field spouse five kids
- 12:55just baseline. That is a lot.
- 12:58Then you add on top of that my three oldest are in middle
- 13:03school and and they do sports all year round.
- 13:12Been doing sports for eight years now.
- 13:15So they so they've been doing sports all year round for eight
- 13:19years and now that they're in middle school, now they're in
- 13:238th grade, so the second year of middle school.
- 13:25But it's like now they're doing all year round stuff outside of
- 13:29school and during the school year doing that stuff still,
- 13:33plus the school sports whatever and activities and clubs and
- 13:39stuff, whatever. And the extra layer on top of
- 13:43that is that sometimes my kids also we, you know, not just so
- 13:49we're traveling across the city and the metro place like, no,
- 13:52we're doing stuff for across the country traveling force,
- 13:55basketball and sports and stuff, whatever.
- 13:58So you know like saying that that's like the order three and
- 14:01then I still have, you know my middle son, you know who's 11
- 14:05and then baby boy Bash, who's just now kind of getting
- 14:08started, he's in kindergarten or whatever.
- 14:10So it's like I have a lot going on.
- 14:12So the fact that I'm doing and have been doing what I do with
- 14:17the podcast and YouTube and all this stuff, whatever, it's
- 14:23pretty crazy, you know, 'cause it's like, in some ways I think
- 14:29that me working at the level that I do, all the stuff that I
- 14:34do, whatever, it's just become sometimes good, but probably
- 14:39more bad. Like autopilot thing to where,
- 14:44you know, sometimes I see other people being like, man, I'm
- 14:46tired, I'm a, you know, I'm, I'm taking a break, you know, not
- 14:50doing the podcast anymore or you know, not going to do it for
- 14:53several months, whatever. And me just as an outside look
- 14:56and whatever, it's like, it's like, OK, this person maybe has
- 14:59a spouse or a partner or whatever, but they have no kids,
- 15:03whatever. So it's like OK and they're not
- 15:08doing any. No, they they're taking years
- 15:11off or months off from doing a podcast episode or making a
- 15:15YouTube video or whatever. But but then on the flip side,
- 15:21you can also look at it as like, hey, they're taking better care
- 15:25of their mental and physical health than you are, Robert.
- 15:29You know, in some sense whatever, 'cause it's like it's
- 15:31like, but and it's also just like a reminder of like we also
- 15:35all have different levels of pressure and things we can
- 15:41multitask and do. Cause like I said, I don't know
- 15:45many people who have as busy as a of a life structure and family
- 15:53structure as I do that also does this level of podcast stuff at
- 16:00the level. You know the little bit of love
- 16:03with that. I that I say that I do whatever
- 16:06and I have greater ambitions for conversations and stuff I want
- 16:10to have. But like I said, I'm trying to
- 16:15get myself in the mindset of like hey, it is OK.
- 16:19They know, yes you might have bigger goals and stuff you want
- 16:22to do with your podcast and shows and stuff whatever, but
- 16:26maybe right now it just isn't the time for that.
- 16:29It's OK to kind of take things slower.
- 16:33And it's OK if you don't get to record, you know, on that
- 16:38regular frequency, like like you were in the past.
- 16:40Whatever. Because like I said, like, man,
- 16:42I've been wanting to do this all week.
- 16:43But I chose to prioritize. Like, hey, let me get as much
- 16:48sleep as I can and me talk about these movies that can come
- 16:52whenever, but I need to be functioning somewhat to, you
- 17:00know, get my family through things, whatever.
- 17:02Get my wife back healthy and all this stuff.
- 17:04Whatever. So So yeah, so but with all that
- 17:08being said, it also kind of made me really realize that like I
- 17:16truly don't take enough time and moments for myself because
- 17:22there's always somebody that needs something.
- 17:24Cuz I even tonight my wife is gone with my owners cuz he had a
- 17:30tournament on the other side of the Metroplex.
- 17:31So they're like a hour plus away and they're just going to be
- 17:35staying over there for the weekend or whatever versus
- 17:37driving an hour plus back every day, you know, after the after
- 17:43the games, into the tournament and stuff, whatever.
- 17:46So they're just staying over there, whatever.
- 17:49And it's like OK, cool, I'm gonna try to sleep and rest but
- 17:53bash is in the room just just living his best life.
- 17:56Man he is 6. I can't be too mad at him, but
- 17:58it's just like boom. Yeah, Bluey Mario.
- 18:03And I'm just like just want to sleep.
- 18:05I want to take a damn nap and there's OK, he's chilling.
- 18:09I can kind of deal with that or whatever.
- 18:11Then it's knock, knock, knock. Little son's like, hey, where is
- 18:16this? Hey.
- 18:17And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but OK then Hey, daughter's
- 18:22like, hey, I feel like she well, can I have some medicine?
- 18:25OK, don't come later on. Hey, what's for dinner?
- 18:31And it's like, you know, you kind of just be like, man, hey,
- 18:36just just go figure it out, hey, you know.
- 18:39And then it's like, you know, she wanted to, OK, yeah, there
- 18:41was like a little bit of, like, leftovers left.
- 18:43But, you know, paper might not be enough really for everybody.
- 18:47So it's like, let me get up. I went, ran grass with or
- 18:51whatever for everybody and stuff.
- 18:54But it's just like, you know, I tried to rest.
- 18:59I really did. But even with, you know, my wife
- 19:03Beck feeling better, whatever. And she's going, my oldest,
- 19:05Helen, the basketball tournament this weekend, there's still four
- 19:08other children of, you know, from like 6611.
- 19:15And then my daughters are 14. And so it's like, you know, it's
- 19:20just it's always something, man. So but like I said, it's just
- 19:26like it. It just really just reminded me
- 19:28of like I truly, truly do not do enough for myself.
- 19:35Like as far as I just like a little getaways and time away to
- 19:40myself and stuff. So, so kind of.
- 19:43One of the things I'm hoping to do for my birthday as a gift is
- 19:52getting a hotel room by myself, even if it's just for one day,
- 19:59just one day isolation from everybody, everything, and just
- 20:04having a day of peace to myself. That is what I'm hoping to do at
- 20:13the start of the new year, because my my birthday is
- 20:14January 6th, so hopefully around that time I can take a day or
- 20:20whatever and just escape. And just, you know, BB off to
- 20:25myself, whatever, 'cause I really need it, 'cause, like I
- 20:27said, like this week was, this week was a super struggle for me
- 20:34of the highest degree, just because, like, 'cause I
- 20:38literally felt like my body, you know, Like I said, working at T
- 20:41So I felt my body was like initiating shut down sequence,
- 20:45you know, 'cause I could just feel myself just like, pull,
- 20:48just slowly pulling through, just making it just like robber
- 20:52man. We just need to make it, you
- 20:53know, till, you know, to 2:00, to leave, to go do this,
- 20:56whatever, OK, We just need to make it.
- 20:58Till this time, I just need to make it to this day.
- 21:01I just need to, you know, just one day, one step, one moment at
- 21:05a time, whatever. And it's like we made it through
- 21:07the week and stuff. So, but you know it, like I
- 21:12said, just kind of like, so like, like with all that in
- 21:16context. And it's like, man, I want to do
- 21:19more. There's more stuff I want to do
- 21:21with the podcast and planning and guests and stuff, whatever.
- 21:24But I'm just being patient and making notes, 'cause you know, I
- 21:31made a mention on on Twitter the other day, 'cause I shout out to
- 21:35I believe he goes by DJ, but it's a young man.
- 21:39He's 1415 years old. He goes by Team Tech Boy, I
- 21:45believe he's up in Missouri, but he does a lot of community stuff
- 21:52for schools and stuff in the area, primarily with raising
- 21:56money to help fund school lunches and stuff.
- 22:01Because he remembers a situation where, you know, he had a
- 22:05negative lunch balance where one, one time, whatever, and he
- 22:08wasn't able to eat lunch. This was a few years back.
- 22:11Whatever when he was, I think either still in elementary or
- 22:14maybe just got to middle school. One of the two, whatever.
- 22:17And so he doesn't. He didn't like that feeling.
- 22:19He doesn't want other kids to have that same feeling.
- 22:21So he kind of started some philanthropy work and doing
- 22:26stuff like that in the community.
- 22:28He's also created a couple of really cool comic books that I
- 22:32still need to check out. Shoot, I don't have them, but he
- 22:38met a couple. But the the, the thing he kind
- 22:40of like brought this back on my radar is that recently he was
- 22:45featured on Jennifer Hudson's talk show where he got to talk
- 22:50about the work he's doing on top of them awarding him a year
- 22:55supply of snacks and stuff, whatever for the schools and
- 23:00$5000 to go towards his fund of you know, all the work that he
- 23:04does or whatever. So.
- 23:06So it's like, it's like I made mention of like I see so many
- 23:11great people doing great things, like what he's doing and
- 23:16different people that I know personally, like old friends and
- 23:19back home I want to talk to, have conversations with and
- 23:23different people that I've met through during this podcast and
- 23:26events and stuff, whatever. It is like, man, there's so many
- 23:28dope people doing dope things, so many great conversations I
- 23:32look forward to having. But it's just like now just
- 23:36isn't the time for how chaotic and stuff my life is.
- 23:41And it's like whenever I get ready to do that, I want to try
- 23:44to do it properly or as properly as I can.
- 23:49So like I said, just shout out to everybody out there doing
- 23:52what you do. Like I said, I your boys
- 23:55watching, I'm watching, I'm I'm observing and I'm making notes.
- 24:00And so like, I look forward to when the time comes for me to be
- 24:04able to have these conversations that I want to have with a
- 24:07variety of people that I, you know, hopefully look forward to.
- 24:11Y'all checking out at some point in the future.
- 24:16And shout out to the homie manga alerts because I know he listens
- 24:22to the podcast from time to time.
- 24:25I have his his Twitter page open because this weekend is a jump
- 24:31faster in Japan. So that's where like a lot of
- 24:36big anime and manga news is happening.
- 24:39So I have this page up here, whatever, just kind of keeping
- 24:42track of of news and announcements and stuff,
- 24:45whatever. So but I'll I'll talk more about
- 24:47that stuff next week. But, but yeah, so kind of like
- 24:53like the last little piece I want to say on the kind of the
- 24:57just like me not doing enough for myself just to kind of help
- 25:01me transition into talk about the movies or whatever it's
- 25:03there. Like going to the movies, going
- 25:08to the movies by myself is something that I've kind of been
- 25:13doing for about 10 years now, roughly.
- 25:18And this all started probably like not not long after I got
- 25:24out of college and moved up here to to stay with my sister and
- 25:28her family for a little bit. And then especially when I
- 25:30transitioned, I was living on my own.
- 25:32But you know, I went from having a dorm slash a whole college
- 25:39campus full of people to where when I was in college or
- 25:42whatever, man, like like we would roll out multiple cars
- 25:45deep to the theater because, you know, I went to school down in
- 25:48Marshall, TX. So small town movie tickets, 5
- 25:55bucks, whatever, sometimes 35 matinee.
- 26:00And so it would be, man, we would go to the movies all, all
- 26:03the freaking time that we'd be sitting around and you know,
- 26:05man, we ain't got no classes today or it's the weekend,
- 26:08whatever. It's like, man, what's in
- 26:11theaters? Hey, do y'all want to go see
- 26:13such and such and such? I'm like, yeah, sure.
- 26:15And then we have, we have a couple friends or somebody or or
- 26:18a roommate, you know, be like, hey, do you want to come like, I
- 26:21ain't got no money. Like, dude, this.
- 26:23It's $3, man. I got you, you know, And so just
- 26:26just, you know, we all just loading up in the cars, like I
- 26:29said, sometimes rolling multiple cars deep down the street down
- 26:33to to the theater or whatever. But then when I came up here, I
- 26:36didn't really have that or whatever right now.
- 26:38Now in the years before I met my wife, when I was out in the
- 26:42world, I would do a lot of days going to the movies or whatever
- 26:46and stuff, whatever was no, it was pretty dumb because I wanted
- 26:48to go to the movie. Well, cool.
- 26:50You know, I wouldn't go hang out and do the movies and stuff, but
- 26:53just over time, whatever. I got comfortable going to see
- 26:58the movie, see movies and stuff by myself just because I was
- 27:01like, well, my homies are back in college or back, you know,
- 27:07down in East Texas, whatever, couple hours away.
- 27:11Don't really have many people up here, whatever.
- 27:13And of course, now I'll take my nieces and nephews from time to
- 27:16time, depending on what it was or whatever.
- 27:17But sometimes it'd be like, man, I really want to go see this new
- 27:21movie out or whatever. But, you know, it might be a
- 27:25while before a friend would be free to go see it, screw it.
- 27:28I'm going to go see it myself. And that's something I've done
- 27:32over the years. And so, you know, then, you
- 27:34know, when I'm and my wife, we would go from time to time
- 27:36together, but then, especially after she had Vash and stuff,
- 27:41whatever, we've rarely know. We've gone to the movies maybe a
- 27:45couple of times a year. He's 6 now, whatever.
- 27:50So just because it was like, well, you know, I still want to
- 27:54go see stuff, whatever. And a lot of times it'd be stuff
- 27:56she don't really be tripping about saying whatever.
- 27:58So should I just go And so kind of reflecting on some of the
- 28:04stuff that I've gone to see lately and it it, it just like
- 28:12really made me think about how much peace I have going to see
- 28:23these movies and stuff because come on, come on, sorry.
- 28:32I'm trying to look at my little app for my movies or whatever
- 28:36but but yeah, but some sometimes it it just did.
- 28:41It just doesn't always click in the moment.
- 28:44But when I think back on or whatever, it's like, man, this
- 28:47truly is my time of peace because like I said, I'm, I'm in
- 28:52the theater for at least, you know, two to three hours
- 28:56depending on the length of the movie.
- 28:57Average about 3 hours. Like I said, just taking in the
- 29:01time, getting there, going through previews, you know,
- 29:04going to get snacks, then the previews, then the actual movie
- 29:07itself and then you know the time going to and from the
- 29:10theater, whatever. So All in all, I average of
- 29:13about, you know three hours worth of time that I'm gone and
- 29:17stuff, whatever. And so that truly has become
- 29:23kind of like a the movie theater in a way.
- 29:26It's kind of become like a sanctuary for me in a way to
- 29:32where it's like, hey, for this amount of time, it's just, you
- 29:36know now of course, no. Hey, once again, hey, I'm still
- 29:39always a husband. I'm still always a dad, and so
- 29:42every now and then there's still some stuff I got.
- 29:45I got to be still in the loop on or get asked about even when I'm
- 29:49in the movie or whatever. So sometimes I'm sitting there,
- 29:51my phone will robber. I can't take a peek at it, you
- 29:54know, be like, you know, I respond real quick, whatever.
- 29:57But for the most part, it's just me and this giant screen, and I
- 30:06can get immersed in this movie for this amount of time.
- 30:15And for the most part, I can kind of shut off my brain.
- 30:18I'm not worried about, you know, as much.
- 30:22Like, OK, man, I got to, you know, get this practice
- 30:24tomorrow. We got this event or man, this
- 30:27ability to do or whatever. I can kind of for a brief moment
- 30:34in time put things to the side and just my mind just be at
- 30:41peace. And I and I think that this
- 30:43really, really, really started hitting me two.
- 30:52Was that two years ago, a year ago, maybe two years ago when
- 30:58that Dune movie came out and 'cause I matter of fact, I, I
- 31:03did a review of it or whatever, where I where I had discussed,
- 31:06that's the same thing. I think I titled it Peace in
- 31:10Dune or something like that, because I just remember I went
- 31:15and saw that movie in IMAX and I think I was sitting like pretty
- 31:20close to the kind of like like the middle of the theater and
- 31:23it's just the sights and sounds just like washed over me.
- 31:28And I didn't think about nothing else.
- 31:29I thought of this movie where the I was fully engrossed, and
- 31:33I've had many moments like that really, 'cause I even I even
- 31:37think about when I saw The Batman earlier, was that even
- 31:42this year? I think that might have been
- 31:43last year whenever I saw The Batman, and then early in the
- 31:48summer when I saw Oppenheimer, that was another one.
- 31:55And yeah, just just so many, 'cause I'm, I'm kind of looking
- 31:58back at stuff. Blue Giant was another one.
- 32:10I'm just like browsing through the movies that I saw by myself.
- 32:17John Wick kind of not really created through something that
- 32:22was hello with my wife that that was, you know, that that was
- 32:24very engaging though. But yeah, so yeah.
- 32:29Oh, knives out, glass, onion. Last year.
- 32:37Top Gun, Maverick. Everything.
- 32:40Everywhere. All at once.
- 32:42So yeah, there there, there have been those movies, like I said,
- 32:48where where it truly just felt like just me, just along with my
- 32:55just, you know, free in My Mind and Parasite, Parasite. 2019 was
- 33:01also one of those, like landmark moments in my mind, because I'll
- 33:04never forget and I've talked about this before, but I went
- 33:08and saw this. What was this, March 1st, 2020?
- 33:12I think that was the yeah, that was the last movie I saw before
- 33:17the COVID. The COVID lockdown happened and
- 33:22it was just a perfect storm of circumstances because like I
- 33:28said, Parasite came originally came out.
- 33:31When was this originally released?
- 33:37What's the original date? October 2019.
- 33:42So I'm saying this almost like six months after the fact or
- 33:46whatever. And because it was so far
- 33:48removed from the initial release or whatever, I saw it, I believe
- 33:52it was a Sunday. Yeah, Sunday, March 1st, 2020,
- 34:0110:30 AM. So, and I remember, I think I
- 34:05was the only person in the entire theater.
- 34:09It was, it wasn't like a super, super big theater, but it was
- 34:11big enough to OK, I'm the, I think the only one in here and
- 34:17just shutting my brain shut off and I'm just here with the
- 34:20movie. And so, yeah.
- 34:23And so I was kind of talking to my wife about that or whatever.
- 34:26I was like man, like, I really, I really need to do this more
- 34:31because for as busy as we are and even though, yeah, I might
- 34:36not get to go out or go visit friends and I really don't have
- 34:41too much of like adult friendship relationships and
- 34:45stuff, whatever. Which that's a whole other topic
- 34:47and discussion or whatever for another day that I that I need
- 34:51to get better on. But it's like, if nothing else,
- 34:55I need to go see more movies, more frequently to just have
- 35:02some me time to just go enjoy something, free my mind from my
- 35:08day worries of the day, of the week of the year and just enjoy
- 35:13something. And so I'm about to transition
- 35:18into talking about these two movies.
- 35:20Like I said, like all these thoughts are kind of just like
- 35:22being like really heavy on my mind.
- 35:24Like I said, especially this last week because of how much of
- 35:27A struggle it was for me to make it through the week with
- 35:31everything that was going on, all the all the mounting
- 35:33pressure and just everything, man, like I I was like on the
- 35:37precipice of cracking. But I do my best to hold strong.
- 35:41But it's odd, but it is tough to always having to have that tough
- 35:47and strong facade and exterior, whatever, you know, while you
- 35:55know you keep things afloat or whatever while you're internally
- 35:58I'm falling apart and mentally I'm breaking.
- 36:01But I try to let those around me see that or whatever because you
- 36:06know, stuff got to get done, life got to get done, family got
- 36:10to get handled and supported. So, yeah, but like I was saying
- 36:16over this past weekend, I got to go and enjoy both of these
- 36:24fantastic movies, and I love them for different things and so
- 36:30and and and I'm kind of just like to like lose to talk to
- 36:32them, talk about them and passing, 'cause I'm not
- 36:34necessarily like a super deep movie review critic type of
- 36:37person, whatever. But but both of these movies
- 36:43were what I need to see at the time that I saw them.
- 36:47And it's kind of a case in point of where I'm fortunate enough to
- 36:53live, where I live in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, where I
- 36:59pretty much have access to pretty much any movie that comes
- 37:03out because of how dance this area is like.
- 37:11I get like I I don't know of any movies that have come out that I
- 37:17have wanted to see that did not air somewhere that I could get
- 37:22to because. And and sometimes you know I do
- 37:26my best to have to take that for granted because I see so many
- 37:29times so many friends and mutuals mutuals and stuff I have
- 37:33online that it's like yo, this movie is out or whatever.
- 37:36Especially when it comes to like anime movies and stuff, whatever
- 37:39to where they're like, man, there's no showings in my area
- 37:43or hey, the closest showing is is 2 hours away or whatever and
- 37:49I'm looking in my area and I'm like, man, there's a theater 10
- 37:52minutes down the street. There's like 10 theaters within
- 37:57a 20 mile radius that are showing this animated movie.
- 38:00But like I said, because of where I'm at in DFW, what
- 38:04company is here was now Crunchyroll but formerly
- 38:08Funimation. So hey, we get up.
- 38:11We got a lot of the anime premieres and stuff, whatever
- 38:14come here because of automation. Slash crunch row being
- 38:18headquartered here in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex out out
- 38:21there in Flower Mound. And so it's like stuff like that
- 38:26has helped out a lot towards like pretty much any any
- 38:29animated, any anime movie I wanted to go see whatever I've
- 38:33been able to go see because there's plenty of showings
- 38:35somewhere, you know, within my area for me to go see it.
- 38:38Even though, yeah, they might be limited, but at least I have the
- 38:43option to go see them. It's like, yeah, my son is, oh
- 38:46man, it's, it's on a Tuesday or whatever.
- 38:47It's like, well, hey, at least it's within your area versus
- 38:51being multiple hours away and stuff.
- 38:54So, so yeah, so like I mentioned, I saw The Boy and the
- 38:59Heron, the new Miyazaki movie that came out, or I saw it last
- 39:06Friday on December 8th. Yes, Studio Ghibli.
- 39:13And so I saw the English dub and it was freaking fantastic.
- 39:25Let let me just read you off some of the voice cast for the
- 39:31English dub. Mark Hamill, Christian Bale,
- 39:38Dave Bautista, William William Dafoe, Florence Pugh, Robert
- 39:50Pattinson, just to name a handful of people like it was a
- 39:57fantastic dub cast in the in this movie.
- 40:02So pretty much the the, the premise of this movie.
- 40:07Is that it takes place during a wartime.
- 40:10I can't think if it's like World War Two, I think, but basically
- 40:16you follow this young, this young man, this boy who
- 40:23seemingly lost his mother during this like big fire that happened
- 40:27during this, during this war. And so after everything,
- 40:33whatever his father, he ends up living with his father to
- 40:37basically go stay at his mother's family's estate.
- 40:42And it seems like the father is now going to be involved quote
- 40:49UN quote with the wife's sister kind of kind of kind of like
- 40:53it's, it's it's kind of like one of those like dynasty, dynasty
- 40:58things to where, you know, it's like, oh, hey, you know if you
- 41:01were married to the Princess or whatever was something happened
- 41:05to the Princess, then the next royal person in the lineage or
- 41:11whatever would be, you know, the the next person that you marry
- 41:16or whatever, you know, one of those kind of things, whatever.
- 41:18And so, yeah, So basically that's kind of like the start of
- 41:20the movie is this boy, his father, going to stay with, you
- 41:24know, the mother's family and stuff.
- 41:27And that kind of just leads to a lot of, like, fantastical things
- 41:32happening because there's a lot of kind of like there there's
- 41:35this, like, Gray Heron that's kind of, like seemingly
- 41:41interested in the boy or whatever kind of weird.
- 41:44And outside of the kind of like state or whatever, there's like
- 41:49this kind of like mythical, kind of like a house building thing,
- 41:55whatever that has been kind of supposed to be sealed off
- 41:58because a great great uncle that was like super smart or
- 42:04whatever. But, but but people some people
- 42:06thought he was kind of like eccentric and out of his mind
- 42:10went into that building and never came out.
- 42:13And so it was kind of always seen as like a cursed place or
- 42:16whatever. And so, but the heroine and
- 42:19other things kept on calling to the boy and then eventually he
- 42:23goes to that building and then just different mystical elements
- 42:29and stuff happen as they do in these Ghibli movies and stuff.
- 42:34So, So yes, All in all, man, it was, it was such a such a
- 42:40fantastical movie in so many ways.
- 42:43Just like the slow transition from like the kind of like
- 42:47realistic dark situation of this boy and, you know, his home
- 42:52being engulfed in this war, to having this big life change,
- 42:58having to go live with, you know, this other family and
- 43:01stuff, whatever this, you know, other parts of the family,
- 43:03whatever. And then slowly weirder and
- 43:09weirder and weirder things start to happen until we are in a life
- 43:13truly whole other fantastical world that I love how and I feel
- 43:23like this is like with a lot of Ghibli stuff whatever.
- 43:25Which I I need to go back and do like a like a fresh for you
- 43:27watching because a lot of stuff I haven't seen since I was a kid
- 43:31or whatever. But it's like stuff that you
- 43:35know it's it's it's bright colorful beautiful movie with
- 43:40these kind of like truly colorful and crazy cast of
- 43:45characters. But there's some dark undertones
- 43:48and some actually dark stuff happening along the way but it
- 43:52kind of has is wrapped up within this like kind of semi goofy
- 43:57exterior so to speak so but but yeah like like I I just really
- 44:03enjoyed watching this movie it it was just such a fun time.
- 44:08Like I said, just like seeing just like such a mystical thing
- 44:11and just wondering where all the weird stuff was going to go.
- 44:16And like to just seeing the the slow escalation of things
- 44:20getting weirder and weirder and weirder and weirder.
- 44:23And it's like, yo, OK, but but yeah, and and I was like, I like
- 44:29this is one of those cases where it's like, man, I wish that they
- 44:32were doing more and longer runs of this stuff.
- 44:38Whatever, 'cause this and guys are the 1 -, 1.
- 44:43We're kind of like limited theatrical experiences or
- 44:46whatever, 'cause, like, 'cause this is only going to be in the
- 44:48theaters till I think like middle of next week or whatever.
- 44:53So that's like, what, 2-3 weeks, whatever.
- 44:56And then it's done. And it was in a in a limited
- 45:00viewing capacity too. And sorry, at least with
- 45:03Godzilla it was kind of a similar thing.
- 45:05But they're expanding Godzilla to show him more theaters, I
- 45:09think starting next week or whatever.
- 45:11So, so, yeah. So Speaking of which, so yeah,
- 45:14so the boy and the Heron. If you were not able to make it
- 45:18out to watch it in the theaters, then I highly recommend either
- 45:22picking up the DVD whenever it comes out or catching it
- 45:25whenever it's available digitally to stream or to watch
- 45:30or purchase. Whatever, Definitely check it
- 45:32out. So Next up, Godzilla -1 now.
- 45:42And I guess I should say I'm trying to do a spoiler free.
- 45:44It's possible with this stuff. Whatever.
- 45:46But Godzilla -1? So I I've always kind of loosely
- 45:54enjoyed Godzilla stuff in a way. Most of my life.
- 45:59I'm really like a super hardcore fan where I've seen every single
- 46:01thing, whatever. But you know, I've seen a lot
- 46:03Remember like, I think there was like a cartoon or something when
- 46:05I was a kid. I remember some of those like
- 46:07like live action Godzilla movies.
- 46:09I can't remember what they were called but it was like Godzilla
- 46:14when Godzilla had lay some eggs in like New York whatever.
- 46:17And they're like all the baby Godzilla's and stuff let me see
- 46:21Godzilla movie with eggs question mark Godzilla 98 so
- 46:35yeah so yeah so so that that stretch of films when I'm like,
- 46:38so I've seen some stuff here and there.
- 46:39I've seen the the Godzilla movies.
- 46:43There was maybe like within like the last decade where it dealt
- 46:47with all of the the different, you know, Mothra and Ghidorah
- 46:54and all that stuff relaxed. It is maybe like 5 or so years
- 46:58ago they came out, but since then I haven't like kept up with
- 47:01all of them, whatever. But for some reason, I don't
- 47:05know. And like I said, maybe it was
- 47:07just the the timing of things with me going to see the boy,
- 47:10the heroine. But I was like, you know what?
- 47:13I haven't seen a Godzilla movie in a long time.
- 47:15And the whispers on the Twitter streets was like, yo, this is,
- 47:20this is truly a fantastic movie. So I will let you know what I
- 47:26want to go watch this. And so I didn't really.
- 47:31I don't, I don't think I saw any trailers for this or whatever.
- 47:34So I kind of went in pretty under the radar or not knowing
- 47:38too much whatever and so so the startup for Godzilla -1.
- 47:43So first of all this one was completely Japanese with English
- 47:46subtitles. So this one also kind of takes
- 47:50place in kind of a wartime, I think it was like post World War
- 47:55Two or something. So it's kind of fitting.
- 47:57Like I said, watching this and The Boy and the Heron and then
- 48:00both taking place kind of like post wartime whatever.
- 48:04But basically in this one, you follow a guy who was a source, a
- 48:15kamikaze pilot. Sorry, kamikaze pilot who faked,
- 48:21like his plane had maintenance problems so that he could kind
- 48:26of land to basically try to get out of during the kamikaze
- 48:30mission. Understandably so.
- 48:35And so, yes, So he lands, you know, and the pilot kind of
- 48:39like, man, I don't know, you're playing.
- 48:40Look, all right, man and stuff. So.
- 48:43So. All right.
- 48:44Well, in the morning we'll get you back up and running or
- 48:46whatever. So.
- 48:48So yes, Lexi, you know, he's dealing with with doubts and
- 48:50stuff, whatever, understandably so.
- 48:53And so middle of the night while he's on this island with this
- 48:58kind of like like kind of like naval repair group or whatever
- 49:03Godzilla shows up but basically kind of like a young Godzilla.
- 49:06So not the one that's like can stand up in the ocean big this
- 49:12Godzilla's but is about the size of like a two-story building.
- 49:15So still kind of big but not monstrous and so just comes on
- 49:22the little island attack and destroy stuff whatever but kind
- 49:26of in its own lane or whatever. But the but the the the head
- 49:29mechanic guy's like, yo, hey, you get in your plane, you got a
- 49:33powerful gun. You see him kill it or whatever.
- 49:35Da da da da. So he gets in the plane freezes
- 49:38up, though once again, fear. And the other guys start
- 49:44shooting at him or whatever. Of course, guys that destroys
- 49:46everybody. And so you know, so then the guy
- 49:50gets knocked out or whatever. But then he wasted the next
- 49:53morning and pretty much everybody on the island is dead
- 49:56except for him and one other person.
- 49:59And so the movie kind of then follows this guy over the course
- 50:05of many years with kind of like a found family.
- 50:09So he returns back to his home village or whatever that mostly
- 50:14got destroyed during the war, unfortunately.
- 50:17So like, his parents are gone and his neighbor, her kids got
- 50:22killed in and stuff. And so of course, him coming
- 50:26back, she's frustrated at him, 'cause she's like, yo, aren't
- 50:30aren't you a kamikaze pilot? So how are you here?
- 50:35And then of course, understand being a parent, losing their
- 50:38kids and stuff, like, you know, she's taking out her
- 50:40prescriptions on him because it's like, well, because you
- 50:43didn't do your job in the war or whatever.
- 50:45Now your parents are gone. My kids are gone.
- 50:47Da, da da. So he's going around just doing
- 50:51what he does or whatever. He ends up running, running into
- 50:53this young lady who has a baby. Long story short, you know the
- 50:58young lady ran into a lady, Another lady who was on the
- 51:02verge of dying, just handing her like, hey, please take care of
- 51:05my baby, boom. So now is a new kind of found
- 51:08family and like I said, like over the years from this guy or
- 51:11whatever and this new kind of formed family.
- 51:15And he keeps on having encounters with Godzilla stuff.
- 51:18And each time he sees him, after a couple years, Godzilla's a
- 51:21little bit bigger and a little bit bigger until it just becomes
- 51:25a point where it's like, OK, now he's the actual monstrous
- 51:28Godzilla we know. And these people are having to
- 51:34try to find a way of how to deal with Godzilla.
- 51:40And so I would say like in this movie, man, like I said, like
- 51:45like it, it was fantastic from the human element side of stuff
- 51:48like to like watching this guy and his little family grow and
- 51:53bond and stuff, whatever. And then also just like this
- 51:56kind of like mythical elements of of Godzilla, you know, being
- 52:03up in this whatever. And so the sound effects are
- 52:08super dope, the look of it, favorite theme.
- 52:13And I like like the sound when Godzilla does this freaking like
- 52:18blast breath thing, whatever. Because when he's charging up
- 52:22whatever like the spikes like this, like like little spikes,
- 52:28things on like his going up his back and tail or whatever starts
- 52:32to glow blue and it's like glowing blue.
- 52:35And then like like the things kind of were like you know kind
- 52:38of like pop out or whatever on his all the rip is telling his
- 52:41back whatever. And it's just like a Jim Jim,
- 52:44Jim, Jim Jim, Jim, Jim. Just like a slow build up and
- 52:49then he does the freaking energy beam and it was just like yo
- 52:54super crazy. And that was that was like one
- 52:59of my favorite Press of the movie.
- 53:00So there there, there is a scene.
- 53:02I won't get too descriptive or whatever, but there's a scene
- 53:06where Godzilla is in the city and he does this blast and so
- 53:12it's the slow build up fires the energy beam.
- 53:18It of course just straight destroys everything in front of
- 53:21it. Mushroom cloud like an atomic
- 53:24bomb drops yo. Then there's silence.
- 53:30And then the shockwave from the blast comes back and there is
- 53:37this powerful scene to where the main character gets shoved into
- 53:44an alleyway and the person who shoved him just swept up in the
- 53:52blink of my eye from the shockwave.
- 53:53So I like I said, like I said, it's just the beam.
- 53:56Energy beam goes out. Then the shockwave comes back,
- 54:01sweeps up everybody, everything, cars, vehicles, all this stuff,
- 54:05whatever. And then sweeps back through one
- 54:07more time to just settle down. Whatever.
- 54:11Yo, man, My jaw, my job was just like really?
- 54:18So it was super dope. But yeah, but All in all, how
- 54:25how it all comes together, how it all raps up, whatever was
- 54:29really good. It was a really fun movie to
- 54:33watch. Like I said, like here.
- 54:34Like I said, like some like really powerful human moments
- 54:39and stuff with the people. And then like I said just seeing
- 54:42this reoccurring threat that's like getting bigger and bigger
- 54:46and more more threatening or whatever and the plan that they
- 54:50did of how to how to deal with Godzilla was super dope too and
- 54:55all that's all I'm leaving at or whatever so but but yeah so guys
- 54:59are the -1 was was super dope if if you get a chance to see it go
- 55:05go check it out. So that that's definitely one.
- 55:07And I I definitely kind of work. Sorry, I want to go find and
- 55:12check out that Shen. I think it's Shen Godzilla.
- 55:18They came out not too long ago, 'cause I know, I know, I know.
- 55:24And of course they've been like, there's been a lot of Godzilla
- 55:26stuff as it seems like there always is cause 'cause there's
- 55:32also not the Godzilla and Kong tame thing coming out next year
- 55:37or whatever, but let me see. Yeah, sham guys, very new.
- 55:44So yeah, So that's my thoughts on on those two movies and
- 55:49stuff, man. Like, but both of them, both of
- 55:54them were were super, super, super good and definitely worth
- 56:02some, some, some me time, man. For real.
- 56:06And like I said just just just just kind of just just like
- 56:10really made me just enjoying my time and stuff and like so I I
- 56:16definitely need to need to go and do this way more often
- 56:25because like I said they they they they they were just both
- 56:28great movies to just kind of just get lost in and stuff.
- 56:31But like I said a lot of times, and and this is kind of like my
- 56:34last little thing I want to say too as well, is I'm ever more OK
- 56:44with going into stuff knowing as little as possible, 'cause like
- 56:48I said, like even the boy in the Heron, I think I only saw like,
- 56:53like like a couple quick flashes of like a like a trailer,
- 56:56whatever a while back. But other than that, I didn't
- 56:58look into it too much. Like I said, something with
- 57:00Godzilla -1 and a lot of things that I've checked out recently,
- 57:07I've I've definitely just because I cause a lot of cause,
- 57:10like 'cause nowadays. And I I don't understand why
- 57:15everything needs to be so spoiled and detailed, from TV
- 57:21shows to movies to manga to video games and stuff, whatever.
- 57:27It's just like so much stuff needs to be hinted at and teased
- 57:32early on to where it's like, bro, you know, it's it's like
- 57:38it's like leave something to the imagination for us, please.
- 57:42Like don't reveal like, oh, here's all these villains or all
- 57:45these characters and stuff in this movie or whatever.
- 57:47And so that's why for the most part, you know, some stuff I
- 57:51might watch, maybe if there's something like completely new, I
- 57:54don't know about, like, so like, for gaming, I might, you know,
- 57:59maybe watch like that first initial trailer and then if I'm
- 58:01sold on it, OK, I don't need to see nothing else, whatever.
- 58:05I'll just play it myself. And like I said, sometimes with
- 58:08movies, depending on what it is, whatever, I might maybe watch a
- 58:13trailer for it. But sometimes if it's like a
- 58:17actor that I really like or something or whatever.
- 58:21So it's like, oh, this the next film that's starring this person
- 58:24or this directed by this person, certain things like that or
- 58:28whatever. Or hey, a new studio Gymni
- 58:30movie. I don't need to know too much
- 58:32more than that. You know.
- 58:34And so that just kind of makes the experience that much more
- 58:38enriching to me because it's not so much of like Oh yeah, yeah,
- 58:42that that's that that's that funny line from the trailer or
- 58:44whatever. Oh yeah, that's that thing or
- 58:47whatever. You know from from that I saw
- 58:49and all the trailers and stuff that I watched.
- 58:51But yeah, man, it it, it's nice to kind of just go in not
- 58:57knowing as, as or knowing as little as possible.
- 59:01And I think I definitely kind of want to do more of that to where
- 59:04it's like, oh hey, this movie looks interesting.
- 59:06If it's like in a genre that I'm cool with watching kind of
- 59:10unknowingly, whatever, then sure, I'll just pick some random
- 59:14movies, go check them out or whatever.
- 59:15And not even for the podcast and stuff.
- 59:17Like, it was just like for me, because I need some time for me,
- 59:24some time for Robert and stuff. So so yeah, and like, I
- 59:31definitely encourage y'all to do the same 'cause sometimes you
- 59:36got to have some you time because yeah, 'cause sometimes
- 59:45we we, we don't do that enough for ourselves.
- 59:47Like sitting shout out to to, to, you know, to those of y'all
- 59:51out there adulting or to the parents and stuff especially
- 59:55like hey, yes, we we we love the kids or we love our spouse and
- 59:59stuff for everybody. Sometimes we need to get away
- 1:00:04and do things for us, You know, like I say, even.
- 1:00:11It's just something like, hey, I'm going to go to the movies by
- 1:00:14myself. Where?
- 1:00:15Hey, what else? Sometimes for me, I also like to
- 1:00:25maybe go to to Barnes and Nobles and just you know like late at
- 1:00:30night or whatever, like right before they close and just
- 1:00:34browse the manga section or whatever, just for 30 minutes
- 1:00:37maybe an hour just to get out the house just kind of be up
- 1:00:41moving around but being within a comforting space to where it's
- 1:00:46like, OK, just surrounded by all these shelves of manga and I can
- 1:00:49just kind of just browse and peruse of like oh OK there's
- 1:00:52some new volumes of this out or or oh what is this new thing.
- 1:00:56OK I'm gonna check that out or whatever.
- 1:00:57So little things like that can go a a long way to come just
- 1:01:03helping give us like say, even if it's just like 30 minutes to
- 1:01:06an hour or a couple hours except if you're watching a movie.
- 1:01:10Whatever of just peace to ourselves.
- 1:01:16And so so yes, like I, I, I I just definitely, definitely need
- 1:01:21to do way better about finding time for myself outside of my
- 1:01:30home. Because like I said, I, I, I
- 1:01:33it's super rare that the storylines to where I can have
- 1:01:36peace and quiet in my own house, 'cause like I said, it's because
- 1:01:39of how small, you know, and tight this 3 bedroom apartment
- 1:01:44is with, you know, two adults and five kids and stuff running
- 1:01:48around. And so sometimes it's like, OK,
- 1:01:51just go to Barnes and Nobles books-a-million, whatever, just
- 1:01:54hang out or actually go go to a movie or something or whatever.
- 1:01:58Or hey, just go for a drive, listen to know some music in the
- 1:02:02car or podcast and just go for a drive and so say if.
- 1:02:07So hopefully going forward I'm going to try to do do better
- 1:02:13about that and stuff. So but anyway, so let me know
- 1:02:17what y'all thought of this episode.
- 1:02:20Have you all checked out either Godzilla -1 or the boy and the
- 1:02:24heroine? And also, do you all have any

- 1:02:54towards the end of the year man holidays and stuff coming up.
