- 6:30stuck to my dreams and the ideals are set forth in that
- 6:36beginning in the beginning. But I also feel like I have gone
- 6:41way above and Way Beyond, Anything that I even thought was
- 6:48possible to do within one year now.
- 6:56I want to say that we're going to go through and like I said,
- 7:00we're going to talk where we're going to talk. but, Cuz I cuz I
- 7:12I made this post pretty late but shout out to my friend Lisa from
- 7:17The Wonder of anime podcast she poops like that on me she she
- 7:26sent me a handful of question so what kind of touch on those as
- 7:31we go along? But Yeah, like I said, just
- 7:35thank y'all so much for being a part of this journey, being part
- 7:40of this experience. It's wild.
- 7:46It is truly wild. Now I want to share this with
- 7:53y'all. You know, everybody loves
- 7:56looking at some numbers and some facts and stuff.
- 8:01So let's let's, let's talk to some of the stuff.
- 8:07So, Within my first year. Close to hitting 4K listens on
- 8:17the podcast. That is pretty wild to think
- 8:24that. In one year.
- 8:30I have gotten. Almost 4,000.
- 8:37People that hit play and of course know give or take some
- 8:40numbers you got out of but still for me that is freaking huge.
- 8:46You know? I I have I have done better
- 8:51about not getting as absorbed into the numbers and all that
- 8:56stuff especially in recent months, especially I feel like
- 9:00since this year started but I know back especially like when
- 9:04this first started or whatever last You know, you know,
- 9:09originally now of course I've always been happy with the
- 9:12whatever, but from just seeing like, oh, hey okay.
- 9:17Episode got, you know, Five Lessons or whatever and then it
- 9:24being a consistent. Okay, average Tennyson's.
- 9:27Okay. Now average. 20 now, it's close
- 9:29to average 30. This is episode.
- 9:32Now, of course, I've had some episodes overtime, that have You
- 9:39know, far surpassed some other ones.
- 9:42And so let's just kind of just look and see what happened, some
- 9:46of the most listened to. So that's kind of go back to the
- 9:49beginning. So you'll see little bit behind
- 9:51the scenes stuff so so it's of course, a lot of the early stuff
- 9:55is no. Over 50 lessons or so you know
- 10:00because a lot of people you know kind of go through and we'll do.
- 10:04I some binge lessons and stuff let me see.
- 10:10Of course, the attack on Titan finale, which that attack on
- 10:15Titan episode. I feel like was the start of
- 10:21something really big for me, because it was the first time me
- 10:27kind of looking at this. From the perspective as a as a
- 10:33consumer. So to speak to, whereas I, okay,
- 10:36this big event happened and maybe a, I would be looking for
- 10:42reactions, reviews, whatever. So I put out an episode, you
- 10:46know, right when it launched, or right in time for one of the
- 10:48Fiat finale happen or whatever and rode that wave, And you
- 10:54know, same thing with like Tokyo.
- 10:57Revengers this episode. I did with the chapter starting
- 11:01where season 1 is it goes on. So I think this is my love most
- 11:07is to thing is Tokyo. Revengers Manga chapter 52 to
- 11:11116 but any other thing I wanted to share As of course, now this
- 11:21wasn't a year ago. I still haven't, you know, hit
- 11:24the 1 and the 1 year anniversary for the YouTube channel will be
- 11:26in the summer, but still I started a freaking YouTube
- 11:30channel which you know, the reason why I started it was
- 11:36because I felt like, yes, my voice is getting out there.
- 11:40But I also wanted Others to see me because it's more than just,
- 11:48you know, people are hearing my voice and be like, okay, you
- 11:51know, oh, that's that's the voice of a dad, that's a voice
- 11:53of a black man, but to also see me like I said for for friends,
- 11:58for family, for my kids and the fact that, you know, since last
- 12:03summer to now I have I hit 100 subscribers a few weeks ago, is
- 12:11so freaking awesome. I just mean he's like so it
- 12:14means a lot, you know, just the fact that I hate People enjoy me
- 12:22enough to where they want to see when I put us with the new and
- 12:27their YouTube feed, you know, and that the no wanted to show
- 12:31love and to show some important to show support it means a lot.
- 12:37Like I said, just the fact that that's happened, you know,
- 12:41weight within this this first year, but yeah, so I kind of I
- 12:49guess I feel like I'm kind of all over the place but You know.
- 13:00Some. There's some key people, I want
- 13:06to give a shout out up front here as well before I kind of
- 13:12start touching on laces. Some of these questions to kind
- 13:15of carry the conversation forward.

- 18:51Of course I come on to start some other more just keep on
- 18:54just going through. Shout out some stuff whatever
- 18:56but but Starting off with a quick one of the first questions
- 19:05that Lisa asked what was a the toughest lesson I learned
- 19:11throughout this part of the process.
- 19:19One of the toughest things to learn.
- 19:23And I feel like for, at least for me, it's like one of those
- 19:25things where it's like, it's like double the same time.
- 19:28It's like it's hard and that is pacing yourself that everything
- 19:34doesn't need to happen overnight.
- 19:35Everything doesn't need to be done. you know, today tomorrow
- 19:43and That is likes. It has been tough because
- 19:49there's been times where I'm like staying up super late
- 19:54overworking myself. I was stressing myself over all
- 19:58of this which like I said it's like it's like I love this but
- 20:00the same time it's like it's like Robert.
- 20:02This is not the end all be all this you know this isn't my
- 20:06livelihood at the moment, you know, and even if it was you
- 20:10know I don't need to run myself ragged.
- 20:15Just to get a review out on time to get a discussion out on time
- 20:20or quote unquote on time because honestly, people are going to
- 20:24find you when they find you. You know, it's like, yeah, you
- 20:28might get a real big bump if you do something right.
- 20:32With something is a Hot Topic or recent recently released but
- 20:37over time, people will find you. And so just, you know, learning
- 20:43That it's okay to take breaks and stuff and that's something
- 20:48that kind of going forward. I'm trying to do better about I
- 20:53mean I'm going to touch on that more in the bed but it's
- 20:56something I did for want to do better about Because right now
- 21:02I'm horrible at it because I'll say, oh, I'm going to take next
- 21:05week, off or whatever. But do I really?
- 21:08Or is it just me? Recording a bunch of stuff and
- 21:15then just stockpiling it to release next week or whatever.
- 21:19You know. I don't I don't remember the
- 21:21last time I've gone just like cold turkey just like no
- 21:24recording not releasing something that that's been
- 21:28sitting in the bank or like, sitting, you know, in the drafts
- 21:31went to be published, just like a fool, no, nothing week,
- 21:35whatever. I can't think of a time, but
- 21:40that's different, but something that you know, but I've learned
- 21:46that the process and like I said, you know, just You know,
- 21:51I've always been, I've been a firm believer in.
- 21:55Networking and kind of and connecting with people but even
- 21:59more. So, in this last year, It just
- 22:03it's just been amazing. Just the people I have seen the
- 22:07things I've gotten to do in the last year.
- 22:13Another question she acts is what is a moment that made you
- 22:16feel like what you're doing is worth it.
- 22:20For me, one of the first things was.
- 22:26Wow, a couple kind of comes to mind one person for sure.
- 22:30I also want to make sure I give a shout-out to is, Matt.
- 22:37I'm a shy, give mess last name. Matt baller.
- 22:49Who is a? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say
- 22:53your Twitter handle, just the kids got enough, you want people
- 22:56to follow you or not but but Matt be Matt's been there since
- 23:02the beginning, he actually knew me before I started doing
- 23:06podcast. Because for years, there's a,
- 23:09there's a couple of Facebook groups that I'm an anime
- 23:12Facebook groups and four years every every week I have done
- 23:17weekly threads on the new chapters of One Piece my hero to
- 23:21all that stuff for years at this point.
- 23:24And so he knew me from that group, and so thank you, Matt
- 23:29for Following for supporting all the awesome stuff man.
- 23:37You know, it's always a pleasure whenever I see you know even
- 23:41just you liking a post or sharing it or whatever the
- 23:49comments, the reviews, the feedback, whatever.
- 23:52Thank you for everything. Matt it means so much.
- 23:58And so oh yeah, some things that have no made me feel like, you
- 24:03know, I've what I'm doing is worth it.
- 24:07I got a chance to speak to a college class at University of
- 24:13Texas. Arlington, when a professor from
- 24:16that school reached out to me last fall.
- 24:20And at that point, I was around my six month anniversary of the
- 24:22podcast. It may truly feel like, whoa.
- 24:29A college professor. From a big college, big college
- 24:36is reaching out to wanted to have me talk to his class about
- 24:43podcasting and I'm like, man, like been doing this for only
- 24:46six months. Like, do you trust my advice?
- 24:50But it was a very awesome experience deficit and I would
- 24:54love to do more in the future, but that was such an amazing
- 24:59experience. Just getting a chance to speak
- 25:01with The class. And everything about my
- 25:07experience with podcasting up to that point and same thing or
- 25:13same similar talking, when Saturday, am magazine reached
- 25:18out for an interview with me and there's any of you out there for
- 25:23me with me as well on that those are different like two big
- 25:27things as well as just like all the awesome times I've gotten to
- 25:32collaborate with people which She acts what was, what has been
- 25:39my favorite collaboration so far?
- 25:43That is tough. because I just want to say, shout out to every
- 25:48freaking body that Has given me a platform for me to come onto
- 25:57their podcast or show or whatever and talk to them.
- 26:02You know, the image a pod kicking Stones podcast, Laura
- 26:09inside amount of a blurred. Oh Lord.
- 26:15I'm dad without a dad podcast. My brain is going blank, anime
- 26:23gancho. And some so many other podcast
- 26:28and stuff and people that have taken the time out to come onto
- 26:31my stuff. You know Steve from and
- 26:33Something Inside the Mind of a blurred.
- 26:35I'm Lisa herself for one of my random a podcast been on been on
- 26:39there. My friend honey, they go her
- 26:45coming on we doing that one Piece.
- 26:47Special chase the dark stage during our 2021 review.
- 26:53Adam again show again him coming on and we looking at the years
- 26:56to come and so many people are Moody are doing today during our
- 27:02self-care talk. But if I had to pick one, It'll
- 27:09probably be the episode. I did my Valentines episode, I
- 27:14did with Asia. AKA mama loves manga.
- 27:21Because one, we just had so much fun.
- 27:26Talking both before we recorded while we were recording after we
- 27:31recorded and she has become a genuine friend, because one,
- 27:38she's a fellow parents. So know we kind of chitchat
- 27:43about family and life stuff of that nature.
- 27:47But she is also somebody that has been doing this podcast
- 27:51stuff or content Christian stuff in general for over five years.
- 27:56At this point. And so she has a lot of
- 27:59experience, a lot of insights. Into all this stuff and she's
- 28:07different somebody that I admire because she is definitely one of
- 28:11those people to wear. When she needs to take a break.
- 28:17She will. She will ghost.
- 28:18She was still lurk, you know, it's still kind of like lurk in
- 28:21the background be around, but she At least from, from know,
- 28:28watching and observing and stuff like, you know, you you know,
- 28:33how to move, you know, how to navigate the spaces, you know,
- 28:37when to step away and we went to take a break one to be a parent
- 28:40and focus on life stuff and then okay.
- 28:43Hey, when it's time to go to work, you come and you go to
- 28:45work but definitely. Yeah.
- 28:48The the collaboration with Mama loves manga.
- 28:55It was it was truly special and truly meaningful Max again
- 29:00getting cuz it was all snow just like one of those other.
- 29:03Another realization of like, hey, It is okay to shoot your
- 29:07shot at. Collaboration with somebody,
- 29:12regardless of, if they have zero followers, if they have a couple
- 29:18hundred they have a few thousand or several thousand it is.
- 29:21Okay. What's case scenario?
- 29:24They say no, you know, it's okay.
- 29:27Hey you move on but yeah, but yeah that's definitely one.
- 29:34And something else I want to because I didn't even talk
- 29:36about, like I said we're just conversating we're just kind of
- 29:40for saying but I You talk about. What I've done this last week.
- 29:48so, Over the weekend. I got to have some.

- 31:04we definitely need to do this more often and you know, kind of
- 31:10going back to the whole like self-reflection stuff.
- 31:14I know I'll talk about this like some time recently, whatever.
- 31:17But I definitely want to and this kind of goes into like me
- 31:24being more conscious, In taking breaks and stuff with the
- 31:29podcast or just kind of just spacing out what I'm doing.
- 31:35Because the manga, the anime it will be there, it will be there
- 31:41if if I can get to it today you will be there tomorrow but it's
- 31:47like, realizing they're like not necessary just like this last
- 31:52year, but just like several last several years of like Thomas
- 31:59passing by and, you know, and I feel like being a parent that
- 32:08becomes more evidence because you actually have someone that
- 32:14you love that you see time passing by to wear because I
- 32:19sometimes I look at my older son and it's like he's almost as
- 32:23tall as tall as me. He's only 13.
- 32:26It's not like crap, man. Where is the time going?
- 32:31and then, you know, even to my youngest with Vash, it's like
- 32:36this I dude your for like we're having conversations and stuff
- 32:41now like You know, he is becoming more independent, you
- 32:47know, and just little stuff like that.
- 32:50It's just like, it's like MMI and this is something I've
- 32:54talked about before in the past, like maximizing your time.
- 32:59And I feel like I did that really good this last year when
- 33:03it came to like Podcasting, content creation.
- 33:08But Maybe not all the way as much as I would have liked as a
- 33:14dad as a family man with friends and stuff which is like you know
- 33:22I am aiming to try to be more intentional with my time also
- 33:27only family side. It's like yeah, I know I'm I'm
- 33:30going to maximizing your utilizing time with, you know
- 33:34read them all and go watch anime, playing the game, all
- 33:36that stuff, whatever getting content out.
- 33:39It. I also don't want to just get
- 33:46too caught up in this and then it's like okay yeah the podcast
- 33:50is successful. Whoo whoo and then look back and
- 33:55it's like, my kids, I have to memorize the side of You know me
- 34:03fussing about chores or keeping the house clean or you know,
- 34:07just taking it a practice or games.
- 34:10And then me being locked away here in this closet recording or
- 34:16reading or whatever. So deaf and trying to likes to
- 34:21be more intentional, and be more respectful of my family and
- 34:27stuff like that as well. And I'm also, Going to be text
- 34:33sometime this weekend coming up and going and visiting some
- 34:37friends that I hadn't seen since last year.
- 34:40Because because the last couple times I saw them We're not on
- 34:46Happy occasions. It happened to be because I was
- 34:49passing, I needed apps going to pass through town on my way,
- 34:54back home, for my sister's funeral, for my mother's
- 34:57funeral, all that stuff. And so it's like okay It's been
- 35:02a year and some change now. I need to.
- 35:09Keep those connections going and not just when it's sad time,
- 35:14it's like, you know where? No, I'm going to drive the
- 35:18couple hours and go spend the night down there.
- 35:22Go spend the weekend cuz, you know, I live in div wi-drive
- 35:27hours and hours all the time, just for a basketball games,
- 35:31track practice and stuff. And so it's like, you know, I
- 35:38lost a lot of time, lost a lot of memories with my mother with
- 35:43my sister. because o work, oh, you know, this kid has
- 35:51practices, there's a basketball tournament going on, so I can't
- 35:54make it out this weekend and yada, yada yada and now looking
- 35:57back and it's like, Do you know there are no more opportunities
- 36:02for those moments now because they're gone and I don't want to
- 36:07get more of those situations, you know.
- 36:11So yeah. So just try to be more
- 36:13purposeful with my time over the year.
- 36:20I feel we're sticking this in at this point in time, but I also
- 36:25want to make sure that I bring it up before I get back to more.
- 36:31Questions and stuff. And honestly, if it feels even
- 36:34weird, I'm about to even talk about this, but it is something
- 36:39that I want to do. And I also hope that people
- 36:43don't look at this as a, oh, Robert wants money, Roberts
- 36:48greedy, did it, but it's also a thing of like, Knowing your, why
- 36:55Earth? And if you truly believe in
- 36:57something, then sometimes you have to step out on faith, step
- 37:04out on trust and hopes and dreams because that's what I,
- 37:08that's what I did. You know, when I started the
- 37:10podcast last year was like, Hey, I'm going through some stuff and
- 37:13I need to talk and it has just been so freaking awesome that
- 37:19People are talking back people are you know, enjoying what I
- 37:24do. And so like I said, it just
- 37:29feels weird me even doing this, but I kind of thought long and
- 37:38hard about this and kind of went back and forth, pain.
- 37:42You know, trying to be mindful of making sure.
- 37:46I'm also not. just giving myself more work because that is
- 37:52definitely what I'm not trying to do, but I guess it's kind of
- 37:59more of a thing of like hey if you enjoy, what I do I'd
- 38:04appreciate their support or whatever any support you want to
- 38:07give but I'm also not going to be I'm also not going to be
- 38:13changing up a whole bunch of stuff, whatever.
- 38:15And you know being like hey you never get this number.
- 38:19I'm not going to be taking stuff away and I'm talking I'm beating
- 38:22around the bush. I'm talking around the bush but
- 38:27I have started. A patreon page.
- 38:35So patreon.com slash dad needs to talk.
- 38:41So like I said, I kind of thought long and hard about how
- 38:44I kind of wanted to approach this because, you know, I have
- 38:48some fun ideas for some tears and stuff for there because I
- 38:51had one called, I have four tiers originally it.
- 38:54Not. Now I just have just one which
- 38:56I'm explain but I have some fun ideas.
- 38:59I was at home, I would be like, you know, the tears was named
- 39:02Game. Changer anime Visionary manga
- 39:04Hunter but then it's like, it's like Trying to figure out what
- 39:11to do for all these different tiers and stuff.
- 39:14And just as I have front, you know, all my reviews, the
- 39:19podcast, all that stuff, whatever is to continue to be
- 39:22free and open to everybody. That is not going to change.
- 39:27Just because of the fact that like I put out so much stuff
- 39:31that for me, it would be a pain in the butt, you'll be a
- 39:34headache and like I said, more work for myself if I try to
- 39:38figure out like well, If it is tear, you get access to this at
- 39:42that to get access to that. So doing some research and kind
- 39:47of like just like scopin out and just seeing the community stuff
- 39:52whatever, I just kind of came down to just a sample.
- 39:58You pick and choose. How and what you want to support
- 40:05with, if you feel like, hey, you just have a dollar, that's fine.
- 40:09I'll take it out if you want to do $20 $20, but Like I said,
- 40:14this is just something bonus just something extra.
- 40:17Like I said, hey the regular the podcast, the reviews, all this
- 40:21stuff, whatever will still be available to everybody.
- 40:26The only thing I'm at least I right now what I'm going to do
- 40:28with this is maybe like some reviews or Mago discussions or
- 40:33whatever might go up like a day early or something.
- 40:40Because like I said, like I record a lot of stuff sometimes
- 40:45and sometimes I'm sitting on it anyway.
- 40:48So it's like well if I'm going to be sitting on it anyways you
- 40:51can sit here and then if somebody wants to hear early
- 40:55cool, otherwise, it'll be available to everybody within a
- 40:59day or so. And so, to start off, I have a
- 41:04couple of things already. I'll here I have a my 20th
- 41:09century boys, Volume, 7 and 8 discussion review, whatever
- 41:15that's up there already, but it's going to be open.
- 41:17It's going to be out to everybody at the end of the
- 41:19week. And then for me, looking back at
- 41:26and doing a lot of self-reflection today and it was
- 41:31very, it was a lot. It was a lot of heavy stuff, but
- 41:35I read both downfall and so learning from inner asano.
- 41:41The same author. The did goodnight Pom-Pom as
- 41:45well as a dead dead demons. So I did a very long Discussion
- 41:53reflection about both of those series and just like how it kind
- 41:58of made me reflect on things of my life.
- 42:04Both relate to being a content creator with the podcast but
- 42:08also just loss of life stuff in general.
- 42:12So like I said, both of those are up there and I have more
- 42:15stuff on me, putting up throughout the week.
- 42:17But and right now, it's just a video version of this, because
- 42:20I'm still kind of figuring out how patreon all this stuff
- 42:23works. So, like I said, Is there, if
- 42:27you find the hey you know, you want to, you know, hear some
- 42:31stuff, some reviews and discussions and stuff early.
- 42:36Cool if not like I said it's going to be free for everybody
- 42:40you know there might be some stuff like later.
- 42:42I'll maybe I might do like some poles and stuff towards IA.
- 42:47You know what some stuff you going to cover and stuff like
- 42:50that. I might do on here, but as far
- 42:53as I can, in general, you know, Not going to split off, you know
- 42:57the community and stuff. I'm not going to split off and
- 42:59do a different RSS feed for the podcast because like I said, my
- 43:03goal is to not create more stuff for my more work for myself.
- 43:07But like I said, just too. Put something out there.
- 43:10Like I said, if you enjoy what I do and if you have a buck or two
- 43:15to spare I greatly appreciate it.
- 43:18Because also, you know, The cost for running my website you know
- 43:26is a decent amount as well as all this manga that I buy to
- 43:32cover and stuff. Whatever was just like hey
- 43:35Robert nobody's telling you to buy all this manga.
- 43:38Yes I know but also if I can get a couple extra bucks and hey
- 43:42maybe that's the extra volume I can kill maybe, you know, we'll
- 43:46see. But like I said it like I said,
- 43:48this is just something you click on it.
- 43:51And you pick what you want to donate you know like saying you
- 43:57can change it counselor, whatever you want to do, like I
- 44:01said, I'll leave that to you. I'll leave that in your hands
- 44:04but I said something I was just like, just feel weird and
- 44:08nervous talking about or whatever.
- 44:10But like I said, it's something that I wanted to do and just to
- 44:16see like I said where God was hey if it don't go nowhere.
- 44:19Hey, I'm still going to be putting out a bajillion videos
- 44:24and stuff whatever that's not going to change but like I said
- 44:29if if you feel like it cool but enough on that, sorry, Lex.
- 44:34If so weird talking about this stuff my want to make sure I'll
- 44:41talk about before I got too far away and forgot but But yeah.
- 44:49So What was the other thing? So, going back to some more
- 44:54questions from Lisa. So she also asked a dream
- 44:58collaboration for my future. Honestly, I don't know as far as
- 45:07like people I would love to steal.
- 45:13Well, I would love to someday be able to collaborate or do
- 45:17something with Johnny Yong Bosch, the voice actor, for my
- 45:22favorite voice actor of all time.

- 45:30that's just Read from Trigun, you know, loose from kogi eyes.
- 45:36He recently As voicing good Lord.

- 45:55blank, your Gucci from Blue period which I which is Anime,
- 46:00you know, I freaking love last year.

- 46:06review of that bomb. But that's definitely like a big
- 46:11one. I would love to do some day as
- 46:13well as just just more people in the community.

- 46:23with mic, check with black anime.
- 46:30Somebody other people, you know, Gemini manga by hitting senpai.
- 46:38J-just. So many people.
- 46:41Oh and going back to like one of my other favorite things that I
- 46:44did in this last year. I also was with the podcast is
- 46:50called axial and friends. And the horses, axle Ablaze, we
- 46:54did a manga discussion. Episode that was so awesome.
- 46:58We just like, for like an hour and a half, just got to just
- 47:01talk about our thoughts and feelings on what it's like to
- 47:05collect manga. Which Speaking of which, that's
- 47:09something else that in this last year. you know, when this all
- 47:14started I started out or now long I thought of the podcast I
- 47:19bought the first thing I bought was volume 1 of 20th century,
- 47:25boys. And book five of Venice.
- 47:32Agha, these two is what started started as well.
- 47:37Starting my collection and here we are a year later.
- 47:44I now have all of 20th century, boys.
- 47:50I have all of in The Saga past with the anime was and
- 47:55collectively. I went from those first two
- 47:57volumes to, now I have about 150 as you can see a good amount
- 48:03from the shelf behind me but yeah, but I'm a do like a
- 48:10separate like Manga discussion like, you know, manga collection
- 48:15thing, whatever at a later date this month, but yeah.
- 48:21Let me see, favor episode I've done.
- 48:26Hmm. I'm a, my name a couple on one
- 48:32of them would be last year. I did like a episode about What
- 48:41was it? It was a Bene.
- 48:46A Being a parent raising child athletes, that's episode.
- 48:51I really enjoyed as well as, as well as the one talking about,
- 48:55just like starting like Sometimes the hardest thing to
- 49:01do when you wanted to do something new.
- 49:03It's just starting. That's the thing.
- 49:05One of my favorite episodes, as well as my, My Den own review.
- 49:11It was titled piecing dome in Dune just because I had such a
- 49:21Such a personal experience, watching Dome.
- 49:25Like I talked about in that episode.
- 49:27It was a mix between How I got to experience it?
- 49:31I want I want to saw it in IMAX and I was not distracted and I
- 49:39interrupted nothing. As you got to fully get absorbed
- 49:44into that movie into the world, like the vibe, the atmosphere,
- 49:48the music. Everything was just so amazing
- 49:54and it just still just really sits with me.
- 49:57And so that's, that's one of my favorite episodes that I've
- 50:01recorded. And her last question was best
- 50:07thing to come out of this. The best thing has just been has
- 50:12has really been the connections I have made with so many awesome
- 50:19people in the community and like I said, just the fact that there
- 50:24are people who legit Have said like, hey I love your reviews or
- 50:32I love, you know, hear your thoughts on XYZ I when when you
- 50:40recommend something, I pay attention to it.
- 50:43All that type of stuff man is like, wow.
- 50:47Wow. Wow.
- 50:48Wow, you know just had somebody being like, hey I picked up this
- 50:52manga because you talked about it, right?

- 50:58it or whatever. Or hey I went in.
- 51:03Check that this Creator because you shot it them out or whatever
- 51:05the case may be. But yeah, so that like, yeah,
- 51:10just just the community has been one of the amazing things that
- 51:14one of the best things that has happened to me in this last
- 51:18year. Like so I got to like I said I
- 51:21got interviewed by magazine got to talk to a college class.

- 52:50awesome there in Australia so I can and chance to do an
- 52:53international episode was super dope.
- 52:55And yeah, and just kind of seeing learning that like you're
- 53:04going to find your biggest, sometimes, your biggest Fans
- 53:09supporters. However, you wanna say, it might
- 53:12come from people outside of your home outside of your family
- 53:17because you are because you know, as I've heard people talk
- 53:20about whatever and stuff as have see myself that like yeah, some
- 53:25know, some of the some of your friends and family might be some
- 53:28of the first people that, that support you, whatever, but they
- 53:31might not might not necessarily be there for you.
- 53:35And the long run there, that okay.
- 53:37Hey. Oh yeah, cool Roberts doing the
- 53:38podcast. I'll share it on Facebook or
- 53:41I'll talk about it or whatever. And then like a year later
- 53:45crickets, you check the analytics from like we're
- 53:47episodes listen to whatever not a blip from that from that
- 53:51corner of the map and it is what it is, you know?
- 53:55And like I said, like me almost getting or knocking on the door
- 53:59of 4K lessons. It's freaking crazy.

- 54:13in deep Southeast Texas. To where?
- 54:19I am known worldwide. You know it is just so wild and
- 54:25crazy. You know, his speaking.
- 54:30I was speaking of dream collaborations also hey viz
- 54:39Seven, Seas Yen. Press FUNimation Crunchyroll,
- 54:46whoever Playstation Xbox Nintendo.
- 54:51I'm down to do, collaborations, with all of y'all, because they,
- 54:54I'm, I'm buying all your stuff that you wouldn't want to talk
- 54:57to you. Buck up a box, or send me some
- 54:58manga for free. I'll take it.

- 55:07We'll see. But but yeah, y'all, you know
- 55:11likes, it has been an awesome year.
- 55:15I look forward to hopefully, many more years to come.
- 55:19I look forward to. Hopefully, Seeing. what all
- 55:27stuff I will accomplish in this second year, you know, cuz like
- 55:37I said, I have done beyond my wildest dream in this.
- 55:43First year coccyx, getting to be a guest on other people's
- 55:46podcast, having guests on mine. Going to conventions.
- 55:53Speaking to a college class being in a magazine, people
- 55:59asking my advice on podcasting stuff, people asking me for or
- 56:06looking to me for recommendations of stuff to read
- 56:08to watch the play. me building a website made me building it as
- 56:16in designing my own freaking website and me, you know,
- 56:21getting fancy microphone and doing a YouTube channel having
- 56:26video And all this stuff having this.
- 56:30This big manga collection. Huh.
- 56:37It is truly, truly wonderful is, is the best way I can describe
- 56:44it. It's truly, truly wonderful to
- 56:49be able to look back into reflect t' on this last year.
- 56:59It's like I said, tend to look forward to the future to see
- 57:04where things go because I have Other goals and things that I
- 57:19want to do related to the podcast, right?
- 57:22To be in relation, to Danny's to talk, as a brand, as a platform
- 57:27that once again, just like shooting my shot or just putting
- 57:33myself out there, Which like I said that that is one reason why
- 57:37I like I am doing the patreon thing because it's like you know
- 57:39what, you never know because you never know who's watching who's
- 57:43listening, who out there is supporting you in the shadows.
- 57:49The lurking Legend has a say in one piece but Just being more
- 57:58confident in myself being more confident.
- 58:01In what I do when I'm saying my platform. cuz, It means a lot
- 58:10then like I said, like I have close friends that support.
- 58:14What I'm doing people in the community is supporting what I'm
- 58:16doing. That my kids you know it's funny
- 58:20when my kids Rio a are you recording today or you know or
- 58:25hey I saw you put up a new YouTube video.
- 58:28All that stuff is so awesome you know?
- 58:30And it just means the world to me that they are.
- 58:35They're rooting for me along the way.
- 58:39And so, Yeah, I think I think that's it for us for like, light
- 58:45reflecting on the last year because otherwise like, I'm just
- 58:48going to just rambling jibber-jabber.
- 58:51And like I said, for for more on the reflection stuff, like said
- 58:54been looking for that for that downfall and Sullen episode.
- 58:59And yeah, it'll be out later this week.
- 59:03Like Sofrito everybody right now on patreon, if you want to
- 59:05support and I promise, I'm not going to be one of those people
- 59:08in every five minutes, like Pedro.

- 59:11No, I'm gonna do that, you know, but I'm even though it's late,
- 59:18I'm still awake. So screw it.
- 59:21We're going to talk a little bit about some, a little couple
- 59:23things that I've washed in red. I'm not gonna go super deep into
- 59:26everything. Like, it says, it's late.

- 1:00:08certain podcast, let me see if I can find it.
- 1:00:13Shoot, where did it go? Okay, yeah, the Blurred girl
- 1:00:23podcast because she did an interview with Alicia
- 1:00:28Wainwright. Who is the mother in raising
- 1:00:35Dion? I believe.
- 1:00:39See Rising. Yeah.
- 1:00:47Yeah, she's the mother on raising Dion.
- 1:00:50And so, Yeah. So I thought I saw this listen
- 1:00:57to that or whatever because right India has been one that's
- 1:01:00been on my radar for years, whenever I just had never
- 1:01:02watched it or whatever. And so I started let's say
- 1:01:05episode but it's a full Well, they don't purposely trying to
- 1:01:10go into spoilers but it's an open discussion about the series
- 1:01:14and also a season tube. And now I was like, I was like,
- 1:01:18man, I really want to hear this discussion because the part I
- 1:01:20heard of the discussion was really good, but I'm like, I
- 1:01:23would like I would love to that watch this show so I can have a
- 1:01:26better understanding understanding and appreciation
- 1:01:28for this episode for this podcast so I paused it and I
- 1:01:32went off watch season 1 really enjoy season 1 of raising Dion
- 1:01:37for those who don't know. Is a show on Netflix that
- 1:01:40basically follows. A young boy, that one day he'd
- 1:01:47run, just starts having powers. And you basically discovered
- 1:01:50that his father was a scientist at this research facility and
- 1:01:57him and several other people went to this big Aurora events
- 1:02:04about Iceland. where it was like a, like, a meteor shower or
- 1:02:08comments, shower, whatever happened above and then
- 1:02:12basically It cost hinges. And a lot of people I saw a lot
- 1:02:17of people there was at that event started getting powers and
- 1:02:20of course those are them. They had kids pass it on to the
- 1:02:23kids and stuff so it's really cool show.
- 1:02:26I enjoyed Just, and once again, it's one of those things like
- 1:02:32being a parent. And of course my kids don't have
- 1:02:35powers but just like seeing the mother's struggle of like okay,
- 1:02:40you know, her husband is no longer here and she's not only
- 1:02:44having to raise this, her kid on her own but now this kid has
- 1:02:48powers. And so just the struggle of like
- 1:02:53You know, how do you prepare for something like that?
- 1:02:55You know, but yeah, it was really good.
- 1:03:00I enjoy the twist of like waiting, when like the big bad
- 1:03:03guy revealed and all that stuff. I was like, yo.
- 1:03:06Okay. But yeah, I am, I'm excited some
- 1:03:09to check out season too soon. Other show I want to give a
- 1:03:13quick shout-out to is is a Kitaro lives alone and this is
- 1:03:20another Show on Netflix to. This is a this is an anime about
- 1:03:23a four year. Old boy named kotaro who is
- 1:03:27living by himself. Nobody knows you, I've only
- 1:03:31watched like the first like two and a half or so I'm just sort
- 1:03:35of episode 3 where he's like getting balloons but you know,
- 1:03:42similar his parents of potentially, maybe not alive
- 1:03:45anymore, I don't know, but anywho it's just a four-year-old
- 1:03:50on his own and it really like it really like makes me think
- 1:03:56because especially because Vash my son Vash is 4 years old and
- 1:04:00so just thinking like man What if something happened to me?
- 1:04:04Or my wife or anybody else and he was on his own, you know?
- 1:04:08And so he he does his best like to know to be a big boy and to
- 1:04:13be doing stuff whatever. But it's still just certain
- 1:04:16things where it's like, you know, you can't do it by
- 1:04:18yourself because one, you're four years old, you're a kid and
- 1:04:22so but, you know, he does his best.
- 1:04:24He's you know, he strives to do his best and too.
- 1:04:32Make everybody around him proud, but it's just I'm just really
- 1:04:36enjoying something very hard some to watch.
- 1:04:41But yeah, so China to that ranking of kings and let me see,
- 1:04:50that's for his episode. I think was it 21 this week?
- 1:04:54I believe. Do do, do, do do.
- 1:05:01Ranking of Kings. Yeah.
- 1:05:04Episode 21 thesaurus. Midship of a king.
- 1:05:07This episode was so freaking good.
- 1:05:09Just seeing boji versus boasts and just saying freaking out.
- 1:05:19like the true size visualization that boji had of bowls when they
- 1:05:30were fighting like it just looks so freaking dope and crazy.
- 1:05:33Just like like Bose has a giant just like swinging down and boji
- 1:05:37pairing the club breaking the club and all that stuff and then
- 1:05:41you know, him finally putting marajó to rest but then the
- 1:05:45death but then the demon coming out and consuming marajó and all
- 1:05:50that somebody at the episode of Raw was just so freaking.
- 1:05:53Good and dope like someone I'll go more into depth with stuff
- 1:05:57next week. I'm just I'm tired but I just
- 1:06:00want to shout out real quick but they are really enjoyed that
- 1:06:02episode and just seeing everything come full circle
- 1:06:08with, you know, with the title of the swordsmanship of a king
- 1:06:12and just seeing boji there with everybody standing by his side
- 1:06:18as he faces off against his dad. But yeah, that was really cool.
- 1:06:23and then episode 10 of Subic, we bisco so we're still, you know,
- 1:06:32of course in the aftermath of acaba she supposedly dying and
- 1:06:37now this big giant tetsujin creature thing is alive and just
- 1:06:44freaking laying waste to to Japan and stuff, but it is just
- 1:06:49so freaking wild and crazy. The rampage that this creature
- 1:06:54is on, but but yeah, but seeing Melo step up to face this giant
- 1:07:10creature especially because now since he took the shots, he has
- 1:07:15the rusty to go through his veins.
- 1:07:17So the rust that this from the creatures attacks don't affect
- 1:07:23me though. But man, that thing has like a
- 1:07:26freaking ridiculously wide area of effect with this attack,
- 1:07:31because I went to shot that first beam out and it was like,
- 1:07:34Mushroom cloud. I was like, yo, and then but
- 1:07:38also the fact that this thing seems to be powered by kurokawa
- 1:07:45is soul or something like that. Because because while the thing
- 1:07:48was walking slowly, it started saying Boshi and it's like,
- 1:07:52whoa, what is that? What is that about?
- 1:07:56So, I'm curious if that might play some part, you know, it's a
- 1:08:00how I could brushing my comeback.
- 1:08:02I don't know. Because like I said, it's kind
- 1:08:03of crazy that like and not saying it's not a herd of, but
- 1:08:07it's just like you you have your cover character that the series
- 1:08:13is named after is no longer here.
- 1:08:18And the series are still ongoing like the light novels and stuff
- 1:08:21is still ongoing to this day. But that is why I am Here's a
- 1:08:28curious to see the signal through and to read this myself
- 1:08:31and then kind of like see you know, where things kind of
- 1:08:34landed after that. But it's also a thing of like,
- 1:08:37you know, kind of person that's like, that famous quote from one
- 1:08:40piece about when dr. Her luck asked, when does a man
- 1:08:46die and it's basically, when they are forgotten, When nobody
- 1:08:51want no longer speaks of your name.
- 1:08:54Nobody, nobody tells the tales of your adventures and they
- 1:08:58forget about you that's when you truly die.
- 1:09:02And so with me though, fighting this episode, he truly was like,
- 1:09:09he's channeling acaba. She just suggest I would like
- 1:09:13some. Like The Craze looks on his face
- 1:09:15than me though had and stuff. It was like, you know, and and
- 1:09:18even when he told job and one job it is like where's Both she
- 1:09:21and me those like here, he's here in my heart, he's with me,
- 1:09:27so yeah, but yeah, that's really good.
- 1:09:32Really, really good. And shout-out also to, to love
- 1:09:39of Kill episode 9. We're getting more back story on
- 1:09:51our supposed. Re young Lawrence's named Marie
- 1:09:59yunsung ha. Riaan ha song.
- 1:10:05Yeah, enter basically like you know, he isn't who he who he
- 1:10:10says he is, he took the identity from somebody else because I
- 1:10:13thought it was kind of weird, you know, when they were in a
- 1:10:16car ride and then the guys are alike Hey, you know the boss
- 1:10:24Donnie. You know, what is your
- 1:10:26connection to him? What do you know about him and
- 1:10:29song is like, who are you even I have no clue here talking about.
- 1:10:32And then to find out that he basically killed the original
- 1:10:36person who carried this name. And as I, okay, Who are you?
- 1:10:42Why did you know do what you did and why are you know cuz now no.
- 1:10:47Okay he was involved with Chateau even back then says,
- 1:10:51okay what's going on so but yeah that was a really good episode.
- 1:10:55So shout out to love of kill and yeah I think that's a friend I
- 1:11:01met um Manga really quickly. Like I said this last week, like
- 1:11:08I said, I've read Volume 7 and 8 of 20th century boys, and I read
- 1:11:14downfall and Solomon. I did go and pick up some
- 1:11:20continuations of some series that I've enjoyed that kind of
- 1:11:22holding off and pick up the new volumes.
- 1:11:24So, I haven't read it yet, but I'm saving this for like a nice
- 1:11:29calm read. I picked up volume 2 of young
- 1:11:31ladies. Don't play fighting games
- 1:11:33because I loved that first volume.
- 1:11:36And I'm ready to read the second one.
- 1:11:40And today, when I went and picked up Solomon, I also got
- 1:11:46Volume 2 of Mama Akuma. And I got it a day.
- 1:11:52Early karate Survivor volume 3. Now, I am very sad because
- 1:11:58volume for for karate, Survivor isn't coming out until January
- 1:12:0220. 23 next year next year. Why?
- 1:12:11So, I'm already this and I'm gonna cherish it but that's one
- 1:12:15reason why I've kind of some series.
- 1:12:17I kind of try to look ahead and see that.
- 1:12:20What is the release schedule? Because obviously, that's why I
- 1:12:22haven't picked up volume 3. I've got dark it because I
- 1:12:25enjoyed both those first two volumes but volume for isn't
- 1:12:28coming out to the summer. So I'm like, you know what, I
- 1:12:30can hold off for now and maybe I can just get volume, 3 and 4
- 1:12:33together, Freedom together, boom.
- 1:12:37So Yeah, but like I said, I also picked up salonen and then
- 1:12:44downfall already had, you know, in my collection.
- 1:12:48But yeah. But yeah, but honestly that all
- 1:12:56kind of, you know, kind of just ties back into like me Ben.
- 1:13:01More intentional. And just as far as I just like
- 1:13:03stuff, I've learned this last year as far as like even I with
- 1:13:07the crisp edge with the collected stuff, whatever.
- 1:13:09Like hey, it's a very slippery slope.
- 1:13:11Like once you start buying, it is very easy, very easy to
- 1:13:17continue to buy a very hard to stop and restrain yourself.
- 1:13:20So that's why it's like, sometimes it's like, you know
- 1:13:22what, I enjoyed that first volume orange or orange, or
- 1:13:26those first two volumes. I'll wait until a few more out
- 1:13:30or I'll sue. His schedule is because
- 1:13:32otherwise, it's not. Okay, I've read everything is
- 1:13:35out now. Like I said, well, karate
- 1:13:36Survivor the next one's not coming out to the January of
- 1:13:39next year. So.
- 1:13:41But anyway, gotta touch on really quickly.
- 1:13:49One Piece manga chapter 1043 which let's see what was this.
- 1:13:56Chapter titled. Do do, do, do, do, do, do do.
- 1:14:08And it sucks his own bright to that's faced death together.
- 1:14:12So, I'm just going to cut to the chase.
- 1:14:15Clock says for getting getting late here.
- 1:14:19Joy boy. We finally got, we got
- 1:14:22confirmation that Luffy is Joy boy. so, you know, this whole
- 1:14:33chapter, you know, it's kind of just like the aftermath of Kaido
- 1:14:38knocking out Luffy him crushing seemingly.
- 1:14:42Crushing that cp0 agent than Kyle just going on a rampage
- 1:14:46throughout the the only Kashima castle.
- 1:14:50And basically, just tell me about, hey, your captain is
- 1:14:55dead. If anybody else wants to step
- 1:14:59up, speak up now. And of course, not me speaks up
- 1:15:04and she's like, now, there's no way Luffy's dad, yada yada, and,
- 1:15:09you know, kind of like, she's just making it making that
- 1:15:12declaration. But then later on, we see
- 1:15:16Yamamoto and Mama nosegay having a chitchat as yama's.
- 1:15:21I was like, hey, we need to go up and basically, we need to, we
- 1:15:24need to deal with with kaido. If Luke is out of the picture
- 1:15:28and so rather discussing stuff you zunisha comes in and speaks
- 1:15:33and it was just so hype. The way that part of the chapter
- 1:15:39went to where zunisha just starts talking and says, moment,
- 1:15:45I was gay. I can hear it.
- 1:15:47As we look, as you see, Luffy just like on the ground, passed
- 1:15:51out his eyes there Beyond, write it out there, blacked out, and
- 1:15:57Zunisha says, how long it's been?
- 1:16:01I hear the drums of Liberation for the first time in 100 years
- 1:16:06he is here. Joy boy, as initials eyes glow.
- 1:16:12And then we just see a close-up on Luffy's face grinning as it
- 1:16:19seems like we see steam coming off his body.
- 1:16:22And it seems like his hair type of his hand, whatever it's like,
- 1:16:27goopy or something. Whatever likes, like some
- 1:16:29stretched out gum, or whatever it may.
- 1:16:31I join boy, has returned. And so we are on break for two
- 1:16:36weeks. My heart.
- 1:16:38It's like, yo. we're we're about to see something freaking
- 1:16:44awesome is all I can say because we got whether it be some more
- 1:16:51Back Store stuff in regards to Joy boy who he is, what he is or
- 1:16:57was and then low fee was seemingly is going to be a new
- 1:17:01transformation and it's like is this Awakening or is this his
- 1:17:05equivalent of Awakening? I don't know, but I'm super
- 1:17:08excited to see whatever's going to happen with with that chapter
- 1:17:14science. That was very dope.
- 1:17:17I do want to say shout-out to mash or for reaching Chapter 100
- 1:17:21this week, very dope. And the last manga then we'll
- 1:17:28talk about today is a Kane, but now she but not.
- 1:17:31She just because this this chapter was, you know, the the
- 1:17:38mentor finally fully taken her on as a full-time pupil of his.
- 1:17:45And I really enjoy that moment where he is kind of torn because
- 1:17:53You know, he knows that, you know, he says they not before
- 1:17:57him, they can proceed. He wants to make sure that it's
- 1:17:59okay with her mother that she is doing this.
- 1:18:02And so You know, because, you know, because last time that
- 1:18:07they had a talk was when the dad, you know, God let go from
- 1:18:12the or gas expelled from the school and stuff, whatever.
- 1:18:16And so, of course, you know, he always felt bad about that
- 1:18:19situation. And the fact that he's been
- 1:18:21training the daughter for 7 years or whatever, the case may
- 1:18:24be six years, whatever. And then I just enjoy these
- 1:18:28simple moment of when the mom comes in and the mom was really
- 1:18:34cute. and truly, the daughter is, truly a reflection of her
- 1:18:39mother on the differences that the mom has white hair, but but,
- 1:18:48But yeah, but just, just a simple moment of like, you know,
- 1:18:53the mom being like, I already know you've been training her
- 1:18:56and then the daughter being like, yeah, you know, why would
- 1:18:58I hide it? Like I told her as soon as it
- 1:19:00started. And so, you know, the he's oh,
- 1:19:04so you approve of her pursuing Rocco and the mom is like
- 1:19:08absolutely not but you know, there's no stopping her.
- 1:19:12As you see like some like awesome flashback of like when
- 1:19:14the when the daughter went to come on akane was young, you
- 1:19:17know, me. Can't her father say, you know
- 1:19:21and then the mom saying no, I went against my parents wishes
- 1:19:24to when I decided to become a beautician.
- 1:19:26So I have to admit have to admit that it's in her blood and I
- 1:19:30knew that you were too good that you were taking good care of her
- 1:19:34as you see the mom at all, speaking like peeping on them.
- 1:19:37And most importantly, my husband said under master Shi goomahs
- 1:19:42care, we have nothing to worry about.
- 1:19:45As in the mom's name is misaki. And so so yeah, so he's just
- 1:19:53like just a very awesome very wholesome moments of just
- 1:19:56everybody acknowledging each other as far as like, you know,
- 1:19:58the master should goomah. It's like, hey, I promise to
- 1:20:05take care of your daughter and to train her.
- 1:20:07Well, as the mom is also like, hey, I give you my blessing even
- 1:20:11though I don't want her to do this, but I give you my blessing
- 1:20:15to train her and then the daughter also be like, hey, I
- 1:20:18promise to become a rocket, go. Who will do your legacy proud
- 1:20:23and then we kind of, you know, basic kind of kind of get like a
- 1:20:28real breakdown or re-familiarize.
- 1:20:30Ation of the stages are the ranks in the Rock ago,
- 1:20:37profession, which, you know, the introductory level is is a
- 1:20:42zanza, which is the training period and then once you get
- 1:20:45accepted into as a rock ago, then you become a full-time.
- 1:20:50assume a What you hone your skills and then the Pinnacle of
- 1:20:57it all is a shunichi which is somebody who has mastered their
- 1:21:03craft and can take on students. And so I love this panel of like
- 1:21:10the shinichi. She knew Angie Because we see
- 1:21:17the master that expelled, everybody.
- 1:21:19We see the master this training. We see this guy on the left side
- 1:21:24is, okay. And then we see somebody in the
- 1:21:26back with like an hour or something, whatever with their
- 1:21:28backs turned, it's okay. I want to know about who the
- 1:21:30other two guys or whatever, but and then we end of chapter off
- 1:21:35with, you know, get introduced to the four other pupils that
- 1:21:40she will be training with. See ya, we don't get their names
- 1:21:48this chapter, whatever, but I'm excited to see where the story
- 1:21:54continues to go. And that's just something that
- 1:21:55it's just been really good about this manga.
- 1:21:57Like I said, it's just for me, it's just a breath of fresh air
- 1:22:01amongst all the very serious that are talked about in this,
- 1:22:05in this, you know, in Shonen, Jump, whatever.
- 1:22:08So I'm super enjoying it and looking forward to checking out
- 1:22:12more. So yeah, but I don't think I
- 1:22:19have nothing else to really talk about or whatever.
- 1:22:24Yeah, so let's go and just wrap this up because it is 1:30 a.m.
- 1:22:30So let's see if I can get this to to act.
- 1:22:34All right, let me see. Hold on.
- 1:22:41Yeah, that's weird. But Whoops, I am I getting it.

- 1:25:11knows I have a podcast, but she got me a blood-borne shirt,
- 1:25:14which I had to wear. Because it's a reflection and
- 1:25:18also cuz eldering is that right now, but I've always enjoyed the
- 1:25:22mating on the shirt. As you know, she says, you know,
- 1:25:28may you may you find your worth may you find your worth in the
- 1:25:32waking world and with that we are out.
- 1:25:38As always, make sure to treat yourself to some nice recent
- 1:25:44manga, watch some anime or TV, play some video games and live
- 1:25:49your best life and make sure to truly take some time for
