• 0:02
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:05
  talk, I'm your host Robert. And today, today we are here to
• 0:13
  kick off 2023 by looking back and saying, farewell to 2022.
• 0:22
  Now, for those of y'all that, you know, might have stumbled
• 0:26
  across. This is your first time seeing
• 0:28
  or hearing my, my, my sultry voice.
• 0:31
  I hear it. That is a talk.
• 0:34
  It's all about. It's all about fatherhood and
• 0:37
  family. Manga loss of manga as you see
• 0:40
  behind me anime TV and video games.
• 0:45
  So 20:22, what are you here? As I kind of look back on
• 0:53
  everything and reflect cuz I decided to type out about just a
• 0:58
  bunch of stuff and kind of like, seeing what all different stuff
• 1:02
  I have done. And I'm pretty sure I probably
• 1:03
  forgotten some stuff that I don't have noted.
• 1:06
  I did a lot this year. Here on the podcast.
• 1:11
  A lot of stuff happened. LifeWise and so looking back at
• 1:17
  all the stuff for the podcast and content wise, it made me
• 1:23
  realize they're like, wow, yes, this year did have some big
• 1:28
  humps along the way, literally to the very end till yesterday
• 1:34
  to New Year's Eve. But also just kind of realizing
• 1:39
  that there was a lot of great things that happen along the
• 1:42
  way. And yeah.
• 1:45
  So like so we just kind of just kind of like talk through this
• 1:47
  stuff cuz I cuz so I did one of these last year.
• 1:52
  A Farewell 2021. And I would hopefully like to
• 1:55
  try to do this every year for a couple of reasons for one for
• 1:59
  myself and maybe even my kids one day at daycare.
• 2:03
  So hey, what was that doing this year, whatever?
• 2:08
  But it's also kind of like a nice little time capsule for
• 2:10
  anybody. Knew they might have come that
• 2:12
  they might come across. This this is your first time
• 2:13
  here and I need to talk to kind of get like a condensed.
• 2:18
  Look at What? All I've done this year.
• 2:22
  Well the experienced and then if you're interested going back and
• 2:26
  finding whatever respective episodes are reviews or
• 2:29
  collaborations are things that I did and going from there.
• 2:33
  So 2022, I'ma start off, just like with life and family stuff
• 2:41
  real quick. Like I said, arrows, it was
• 2:44
  definitely something bumpy roads along the way.
• 2:48
  Definitely took some big notes. There were some things that
• 2:52
  happened that probably could have been a been avoided with
• 2:55
  better planning, or better organization, or less
• 3:00
  procrastination because we know that, that, that tends to bite a
• 3:04
  lot of us in the butt, but it's in the past, can't do nothing
• 3:08
  but move forward. But yeah, so I have three
• 3:15
  teenagers. Now, you notice boards, 14, the
• 3:18
  twins, the girls. They are 13 now.
• 3:20
  Now. Little boy, just turned ten
• 3:23
  stories now double digits. And then my my my sweet anime
• 3:27
  child Vash. He is now five and he is in
• 3:31
  pre-k so he is entered into the human realm.
• 3:37
  He's, he's crossed over from the anime plane and Vash is now
• 3:41
  entered into the Mortal realm. So good luck tonight.
• 3:46
  Y'all to have to encounter him, but, but yeah, but everything is
• 3:51
  no No, it's been a solid start to him and school to the,
• 3:56
  auditory going to middle school and stuff from everybody is
• 3:59
  flourishing and their academics or there are flourishing in
• 4:03
  their respective Sports and stuff.
• 4:07
  You know my oldest girl, she made it, she made it to State
• 4:13
  again this year and track and did pretty good in that this
• 4:17
  year, all those boy we traveled to Phoenix Arizona.
• 4:22
  So our first big basketball experience out of state now
• 4:27
  granny like we went to Kansas like a few years back whatever.
• 4:32
  But you know, that was something we drove to order.
• 4:34
  This is the first event that we've had to go to where we had
• 4:36
  to fly. That sounds like a much bigger
• 4:39
  scale thing, whatever. And we're going to help maybe be
• 4:42
  doing a lot more of that. So, hey, Danny, Danny to talk
• 4:46
  coming to a state near you in 2023 by ourselves.
• 4:50
  So that was super dope. Super awesome.
• 4:54
  And yeah, I'm trying to think of a work-wise.
• 4:57
  I got a huge huge promotion at work so that kind of came in
• 5:03
  clutch and I'm kind of slow, just going to see finally the
• 5:05
  fruits of that stuff. Coming to kind of coming to
• 5:08
  bear. And yeah.
• 5:12
  So this last week or so of 2022 was a wild wild bag because and
• 5:26
  which I'm a kind of maybe plan out some stuff differently if I
• 5:30
  decide to do this again for next year for 2023.
• 5:33
  But while I of course, enjoy doing my my week-long event of a
• 5:39
  Danny's to talk 2022, favorites, where I had different gas
• 5:43
  station day of the week where we talk about our favorite things
• 5:46
  and different subjects from manga.
• 5:48
  Anime video games and movies and TV.
• 5:52
  It was a lot of work. And of course, with the very
• 5:54
  holidays and stuff, whatever some schedules got shuffled
• 5:57
  around last minute, and I had to do a lot of stuff, kind of back
• 6:01
  to back in the top of each other, whatever.
• 6:02
  So, everything came together. Cool.
• 6:04
  Y'all that have this is whatever I've gotten good feedback from
• 6:07
  it, or whatever. So blacks out my kind of, maybe
• 6:09
  plan that out better in the future.
• 6:12
  But so that happened and and, and of course, I want to mention
• 6:20
  those guests in a second whatever.
• 6:21
  When I kind of run down my list of guests, I've had this year
• 6:24
  Here and people have collaborated with, but, but that
• 6:27
  happened. But then on the flip side, life
• 6:29
  arise day after Christmas on the 26th, some dumb dumb freaking
• 6:36
  hit, my wife's car while she was driving.
• 6:40
  And so if I get the angles, right?
• 6:44
  So, my wife was in the right lane person.
• 6:47
  Over here in the left lane. They decide.
• 6:49
  Oh, last minute, I need to go make a turn to the right.
• 6:54
  Right to go into like this program or whatever.
• 6:55
  And instead of maybe waiting for my wife to pass or going down
• 7:00
  turning around and coming back, whatever they decided last
• 7:03
  second. Oh, let me go that way.
• 7:05
  And they freaking cut across and, like, hit my wife's, you
• 7:11
  know, driver's side of the car. So, like the whole like left
• 7:15
  front of the car is kind of jacked up or whatever.
• 7:19
  And thankfully, my wife is fine, she's just a little bit of that,
• 7:22
  little bit banged up a little bit sore from it because I was
• 7:25
  the ahead on her side, on the hair, she kind of banged into
• 7:28
  the window window and stuff for the hour.
• 7:32
  So of course, we've been kind of dealing with, you know, doctors
• 7:36
  and hospital visits and stuff, and insurance, and lawyers, and
• 7:41
  all this junk. During this week and then final
• 7:48
  kicker for the year. So ideally, I wanted to record
• 7:54
  this, whatever on New Year's Eve since his last day of the year
• 7:56
  and get it up whatever. But, you know, I had some family
• 8:00
  stuff schedule cuz I cuz my, my, my uncle L, and in my family
• 8:04
  that is listening. Shout out to Sandy.
• 8:06
  If you listening because Uncle Al text, me is Friday was a
• 8:11
  high. We're gonna be in town, or
• 8:12
  whatever. For, for New Year's, we're gonna
• 8:17
  meet up at Uncle Jay's house some.
• 8:19
  Okay, cool. And so he's a hey, Saturday,
• 8:21
  1:00 comedians are some Al-Qaeda cool.
• 8:23
  So I get my stuff together Saturday and make the drive over
• 8:28
  there, which that is our basically they live on the
• 8:31
  opposite side of the Metroplex because y'all know I live more
• 8:34
  on the Fort Worth side. And so they love way on the
• 8:37
  opposite side of Dallas. I'm so that's an hour drive
• 8:41
  there. So I get there and My Uncle J
• 8:45
  answers the door and he seemed surprised to see me.
• 8:47
  So obviously, he didn't know I was coming and so I know so I
• 8:50
  come in or our and I hear nothing don't see, nobody else
• 8:54
  am I. So we're about else's, where's
• 8:58
  Uncle Al that? He's out, they just called me,
• 9:02
  their car, broke down and Marshall, which, for those of
• 9:05
  y'all, remember, that's where I went to college at, which is in
• 9:08
  East Texas, which is over two hours away from where we are.
• 9:14
  Are up here in the DFW area and they were stranded on the side
• 9:18
  of the road because it's New Year's Eve in the afternoon on a
• 9:24
  set. So, Saturday afternoon on New
• 9:27
  Year's Eve, Ain't no mechanic shops open ain't no car.
• 9:32
  Rental place is open. So after driving our to my uncle
• 9:36
  Jay's house, I didn't have to drive over two hours.
• 9:38
  It was like maybe 2 hours and 15 minutes or so roughly to go get
• 9:43
  them, get everything out that car, all the luggage and
• 9:47
  everything, whatever. And so, luckily, it was just
• 9:49
  three people just my my, my Uncle, Al, and my two aunts.
• 9:53
  So, these and these are all of my mom's siblings, so get them
• 9:59
  then Drive, two hours plus back to my uncle Jay's house.
• 10:05
  But then we did have like a very nice night with some very good
• 10:10
  food and I got a chance to kind of like catch up with a lot of
• 10:12
  family and stuff, especially my cousin's, shout out to Jess and
• 10:17
  Jen they they they are my cousin's.
• 10:21
  I grew up with because I probably mentioned this before
• 10:24
  but I like Of like of like the grandkids or whatever.
• 10:28
  Like we're kind of like splints, like two groups, there's like
• 10:32
  the older group cause y'all know, my brother and sister are
• 10:36
  way older than me. So my sister was 13, years old,
• 10:38
  me and my brother is 16 years older than me.
• 10:41
  So there's a group of cousins who are way older.
• 10:44
  They are all in their 40s early to late 40s now and then it's my
• 10:51
  group who, you know, most of us I think, I think.
• 10:56
  At the most maybe like early 30s to late 20s or whatever.
• 11:02
  So these are my cousins that are in my little group or never and
• 11:05
  so it was just cool just to finally just like catch up with
• 11:07
  them and stuff because we hadn't seen each other in years and
• 11:10
  stuff. Whatever.
• 11:11
  So they yeah came home. So yeah, so yesterday, so pretty
• 11:15
  much New Year's Eve. I'll pretty much do it about
• 11:17
  seven hours of driving, but yeah, but of course neither did
• 11:23
  do what I had to do to help out family.
• 11:25
  Staff. So my ass on that, that's how my
• 11:29
  year ended so you know, between the car wreck and stuff.
• 11:32
  And then that that whole events whatever it was a crazy way to
• 11:38
  end the year. Now looking back on stuff that I
• 11:43
  have done. It has been a pretty wild year
• 11:50
  over also and some of the stuff I had a like double check like
• 11:55
  when it is. Happened.
• 11:56
  So one of the things, one of the things that kicked off this year
• 12:00
  was that I was featured in Saturday a.m. magazine.
• 12:05
  Which is a magazine which I actually do I have?
• 12:10
  Yeah and this is something I still want to review recover one
• 12:13
  day but this isn't the issue. But just so you all are familiar
• 12:18
  with the Saturday, am logo and stuff.
• 12:21
  Because one of the people, one of the Creator's behind this,
• 12:24
  y'all know him as White manga, I believe he's not geryon but he's
• 12:31
  one of the cofounders of Saturday a.m.
• 12:33
  And so being back in January, I believe it was issue 143.
• 12:39
  I was featured in a magazine so that was very dope way to kind
• 12:41
  of kick off the year and throughout the year.
• 12:46
  I have been a guest on some very instant involved with some very
• 12:51
  cool stuff. So I did a little her, I was
• 12:55
  part of like a like a big collaboration that a young
• 12:57
  Deuces from Geeks at did for Black History Month.
• 13:04
  Of course, I was a returning guest again on on the my hair.
• 13:07
  I could do a podcast hung out with the homies over at Inside
• 13:11
  the Mind of a blur podcast. A couple days.
• 13:16
  I forgot. I thought that these were last
• 13:17
  year but these were early this year.
• 13:18
  So I was with the homies from a taco allergy back in January the
• 13:22
  homie over at a lowers of Dork town which that was the super
• 13:27
  dope experience because he's in Australia.
• 13:29
  So that was very wild trying to coordinate schedules to record
• 13:32
  somebody on the other side of the planet by.
• 13:36
  Yeah so did that of course recorded with Lisa from The
• 13:40
  Wonder of anime podcast the home Is over as shown in flood
• 13:45
  podcast, the parents that geek Channel, anime servants, and the
• 13:53
  really big banger to close out the year.
• 13:56
  I got to hang out with Fox and Cat formerly of the solar Scouts
• 14:02
  podcast. Now, there are known as the
• 14:05
  solar realm podcast. So me along with some other very
• 14:10
  dope people from the twitching gaming and Cosplay Community,
• 14:16
  whatever it was about like six of us.
• 14:17
  Total did a episode with them last week to to close out the
• 14:21
  year. So that was super dope and
• 14:25
  there's a chance, I'll probably might have forgotten somebody in
• 14:27
  this office. So I apologize if I was a guest
• 14:30
  on your staff and I forgot like it's just been like, a long
• 14:34
  year. I said, you're trying to
• 14:36
  remember, I did all the stuff. Shout out to University of Texas
• 14:42
  Arlington because I was a guest Again, for the second year in a
• 14:46
  row, got to speak to. They have a new podcast class
• 14:51
  that they started last year that I was in 2021, that I was part
• 14:54
  of a. So I got invited again to come
• 14:58
  and speak to the class virtually, but they are so loud.
• 15:01
  Super dope getting getting to do that two years in a row.
• 15:05
  So, I'm a rundown everybody that that I made note of and
• 15:10
  hopefully I remembered there was a guest on my podcast or that I
• 15:15
  collaborated on my content this year.
• 15:18

• 15:22

• 18:19
  multiple times so that was super dope getting to do that and just
• 18:26

  They invited me out. So they reached out to me
• 19:19

• 20:37
  I had an extra one and so I literally just put out on
• 20:40
  Twitter as IA. I got a ticket or whatever and
• 20:43
  some young I don't know who she is, I never even get to see her
• 20:47
  in person, but she replied back and message like, hey, she's
• 20:53
  interested in a ticket because I guess like hers, her and a group
• 20:56
  of friends were all going to anime Frontier, and she was one
• 21:02
  of the people who didn't who wasn't ready to take it over
• 21:04
  there or something, right? If you wanted free of charge
• 21:08

  so I was glad that I was able to kind of like pay that kind of
• 21:13
  stuff. Forward for forgetting.
• 21:16
  The pair of tickets myself in that kind of paying the extra
• 21:19

  conventions were super dope, get in to go to them and experience

  coming out to some of the stuff to support me in my panel that I
• 21:38
  did at a fan X Prime stuff. And so I hopefully get to do
• 21:43
  more stuff like this. going forward because like I said,
• 21:46
  it's You know I'm guessing I'm doing something right.
• 21:51
  If like I said I guess I got a convention the size of Fan Expo
• 21:56
  reaching out to me and I've only I haven't even had my two year
• 21:59
  anniversary at my full two year anniversary is coming up in a
• 22:02
  few months. But the fact that I've already
• 22:05
  gotten invited to do a panel and then I got to get into a few
• 22:11
  cons and stuff that you know I've had some some my content
• 22:15
  creator friends be like hey man. Apply for person X is due
• 22:18
  because especially because, you know, I've I have done actual
• 22:22
  coverage of those events and stuff for like every time I go
• 22:25
  to more than I got pictures and videos and stuff forever and and
• 22:29
  I always do like a like a recap special episode for each event
• 22:34
  or whatever. And so I like to try to continue
• 22:36
  to do that or whatever. I'm especially me being up here
• 22:39
  in the DFW area. There's a ton of conventions and
• 22:42
  stuff going on. And so I need to kind of just
• 22:44
  like, be more just Just like suggest just put more effort
• 22:49
  forward and make more strives to get out there and to collaborate
• 22:53
  in to meet more people and make these connections and stuff.
• 22:58
  So I make these business moves happen but by yeah but I think I
• 23:04
  think that is kind of like in a nutshell like my year.
• 23:09
  I do also want to give a big shout-out to tell you in press
• 23:14
  for putting me on something that has been very out.
• 23:17
  For to me and my reviews in my content that I do.
• 23:20
  So you in press has, let me know, or whoever runs the or
• 23:24
  whoever was the person on. They're running their Twitter
• 23:26
  account back early, this year, whatever.
• 23:29
  Because I was not just kids. Come on my okay, I know people
• 23:31
  get review copies for stuff when I'm okay.
• 23:33
  What is that process? How people do this stuff
• 23:34
  forever? And while I haven't gotten in
• 23:39
  yet on getting physical review, copies for stuff, whatever many
• 23:41
  of these places but I did find out a very helpful resource
• 23:46
  called idle Weiss. Ice which or two of them.
• 23:49
  One is call idolize plus and the other one is called netgalley,
• 23:55
  which hold on. By our, one of them is called a
• 23:59
  idol Weiss plus. And like I said, this one has
• 24:05
  been very beneficial, this one along with netgalley.
• 24:13
  Cuz you can if if if you do like reviews and stuff, whatever you
• 24:18
  can basically sign up and then request digital review copies of
• 24:23
  anything that they have up in their catalog.
• 24:26
  And so thanks to them. It's one kind of helped, keep me
• 24:30
  informed of different series and stuff that is going on or that
• 24:37
  are coming up. Because I do pretty good about
• 24:41
  keeping up with stuff that is coming out on Horizon manga wise
• 24:45
  and webtoons and stuff, whatever.
• 24:46
  But of course, you can never one person can ever catch
• 24:50
  everything. As so that has been, these have
• 24:54
  been like some good tools to even if I don't review.
• 24:56
  Ooh, certain things to at least be aware of our.
• 24:59
  Okay, I've never even heard of that one or whatever.
• 25:01
  Okay, I'm gonna make a note of that.
• 25:02
  Maybe I'll Circle back to her one day or whatever, but yeah,
• 25:05
  it has been super beneficial like suggest for a for awareness
• 25:09
  sake, and for my wallet as well. Just because it's like, man, I
• 25:14
  really want to check the series out or whatever.
• 25:16
  But, you know, especially during certain times of the year, I
• 25:18
  hate band being a father of five.
• 25:21
  I don't always have money to blow on all this manga.
• 25:25
  And stuff whatever. So so that that has been very
• 25:29
  beneficial to that or whatever. And like says, kind of help me
• 25:32
  stay organized because I have already have review.
• 25:36
  Scheduled for all throughout January, 20, 23.
• 25:39
  So pretty much almost more than likely probably every review you
• 25:42
  will see in January of twenty twenty-three is stuff that I
• 25:45
  read a month ago, which is very dope, you know, to the, I can
• 25:50
  kind of plan things out that way but anywho butter but yeah, So
• 25:56
  2022 is in the books. It is behind us.
• 26:03
  Can't really have too many regrets or would have, could
• 26:07
  have should have zit is just taking notes of what happened
• 26:13
  and plan better do. Better be better as Kronos with
• 26:19
  saying God of War. So yeah.
• 26:23
  So here is to hopefully a happy healthy and Beneficial year to
• 26:36
  myself to my family to all of us out there.
• 26:40
  Oh, one last thing. Also, I kind of want to make
• 26:42
  sure because this is something I did.
• 26:44
  I did a couple times this year and I just need to kind of do,
• 26:49
  do it more and that is taking regular breaks when I actually
• 26:54
  need it. Like listen to my mind,
• 26:55
  listening to my body and not forcing myself and taking breaks
• 27:01
  because I remember I took like majority of the month of May off
• 27:05
  and I took like a good chunk of November off and those are both
• 27:09
  very well very needed and stuff. Something I kind of want to do
• 27:14
  better about that because like I said, like trying to adjust
• 27:18
  Schedule stuff out or whatever. Because like, cuz even like
• 27:22
  doing like a batch recordings, like I did with these reviews
• 27:24
  for, for a January, it's okay. Maybe I might be in a mood
• 27:29
  around, reading a whole bunch, whatever, and I just do, like a
• 27:31
  fool day or weekend of recordings, and then just
• 27:35
  schedule. Stuff out for weeks or months
• 27:38
  down the road and, and then that'll kind of give my future
• 27:43
  self time to relax with. Okay?
• 27:46
  Hey there's already stuff scheduled and planned out.
• 27:48
  I don't To try to force and push myself to do.
• 27:50
  Nothing too crazy or whatever, try to get Susan of last minute.
• 27:53
  And then I also just being okay with missing a week or putting
• 27:57
  on a facade up a day or two late.
• 28:00
  Because you know, while I'm sure there might be somebody out
• 28:04
  there that enjoys. Let's listen to my podcasts or
• 28:07
  my episodes and reviews and are looking forward to the next
• 28:10
  ones. I also know that y'all don't
• 28:13
  necessarily want me out here, killing myself and burning
• 28:17
  myself out. Just to let me make sure I have
• 28:20
  the episode up Wednesday morning or whatever and it's like if it
• 28:23
  goes up when midday Wednesday or if it doesn't come out to
• 28:26
  Thursday or maybe not even to the following week so be it.
• 28:30
  So so different to try to do better for my sake, for my
• 28:34
  health. And also I kind of want to try
• 28:37
  to do more for myself because I definitely am one that puts
• 28:44
  others. Had myself more, you know, from
• 28:48
  my wife, my kids friends, other people, whatever, but and
• 28:54
  another said it's in a bad way and I hope this doesn't come off
• 28:56
  in a bad way, but I need to be a little bit more selfish with
• 29:00
  myself with my time. And you know coz coz coz doing
• 29:06
  doing that kind of emergency run.
• 29:09
  Down to East Texas, Saturday. It just kind of maybe like, like
• 29:14
  really realize I've like, man, Friends and stuff that I have
• 29:19
  down there or just heck even people I have here in the
• 29:22
  Metroplex, it's like it's like more or less, man.
• 29:27
  If I have 20 bucks. To spare and and and even if
• 29:32
  it's just a afternoon or whatever I can make a turnaround
• 29:36
  trip to frickin East Texas to visit my homies down there.
• 29:40
  I'm kind of safe if I can freaking drive two-plus hours
• 29:43
  down there just to you know to just go pick up somebody and
• 29:46
  they come back then I can go down there, hang out for just a
• 29:51
  few hours if need be and then come back, I can do a turnaround
• 29:54
  trip or whatever. If it's okay, I can't see, I
• 29:58
  can't spend the night or whatever but I uh, I could come
• 30:00
  down for a few hours, you know, to hang out or whatever.
• 30:04
  Or like I said, freaking people up here and DFW area that is
• 30:08
  like, like, man, like, like like People that are maybe an hour on
• 30:15
  the other side of the Metroplex are hey there's people that are
• 30:17
  freaking down the road from where I live and it's like just
• 30:22
  trying to just trying to do better about that stuff like it.
• 30:26
  It shouldn't have to come down to family emergencies or
• 30:29
  different stuff wherever for me to go make these visits or to
• 30:33
  just go have lunch with somebody and stuff or whatever or to meet
• 30:38
  up. Because like I said, I know, you
• 30:39
  know, I know I'm busy there. There's There's always something
• 30:43
  going on. One of my kids always has
• 30:45
  practice somewhere. Somebody always has a game or a
• 30:48
  tournament or whatever, but like I said, just just just being
• 30:53
  more vocal and stuff and just communicating with my wife is
• 30:59
  such a thing like hey you know, I want to go do this, I want to
• 31:02
  go hang out with this person or whatever and stuff.
• 31:05
  So yeah. So like I said, just just trying
• 31:07
  to do more for me and stuff so that that is something.
• 31:12
  Thing that I try to that, I want to try to strive, to do better,
• 31:15
  and to be better about in 2023 and going forward to Beyond.
• 31:23
  So yeah. So with that being said, I hope
• 31:29
  I hope everybody out there had a safe holiday.
• 31:33
  I hope everybody maybe took some time to kind of rest and to
• 31:38
  reflect on the year that was 20. 22 and two kind of are prepared
• 31:45
  to move forward because I said the year is done, the years
• 31:49
  behind us. It is a new day, new week, New
• 31:53
  Year, and so that's all just strive to, to do better, to be
• 31:58
  better. One and two.
• 32:02
  I don't know, try something new, try something new.
• 32:07
  And to like I said, like just just take better care of
• 32:09
  yourselves. Okay, yeah.
• 32:14
  We we only get our gear one life and one go around at this stuff.
• 32:18
  Whatever is so let's just try to make the best of it.
• 32:23
  And so as I always say, you know anybody, there's nothing
• 32:28
  interested in collaborating with me, whether it's you coming on
• 32:31
  my stuff for me, coming into your stuff.
• 32:33
  Whatever, you can always hit me up everywhere at Danny's talk.

  You a message me on Instagram Tick Tock Twitter.
• 32:46
  You can always email me at D in TT, podcast, at gmail.com and
• 32:53

  So I have some very dope things on the horizon for 2023.
• 33:01
  Hopefully I have a lot more very dope guests and stuff lined up,
• 33:08
  but like I said, I'm also not going.
• 33:10
  Going to super rush myself to get things done because I want
• 33:16
  to be here for a long time. I want to be doing this for a
• 33:19
  long time and, you know, apologies to people that, you
• 33:23
  know, it's some people to wear the Stars just aligned to where
• 33:28
  we're able to meet and collaborate within days of
• 33:32
  meeting each other versus, I have some people that I have
• 33:34
  known since practically. I began doing this podcast,
• 33:37
  their old, for over a year and a half.
• 33:39
  Now, we have been trying to Ornate schedules and stuff,
• 33:42
  whatever to do something together.
• 33:43
  But it's just kind of how things go off sometimes.
• 33:46
  And so say I so if I have talked about collaborating with you in
• 33:51
  the past is still I still want to make it happen.
• 33:54
  It just, you know, it might happen sooner than we planned or
• 33:58
  might happen later them than our plan.
• 34:00
  But but I just want everybody to know that I do not forget, I did
• 34:04
  not forget to you as so like I said, it's just life, you know.
• 34:10
  No, life is just been happening. And like I said, I just kind of
• 34:13
  just want to Pace myself and it's like, if I get to something
• 34:18
  that I have scheduled in January, I get to it first.
• 34:20
  Got to be pushed back a month, or if I need to take a Hiatus,
