0:03
What's up y'all, And welcome back to Danny to talk.
0:06
I'm your host robber. And today, today I am back after
0:13
a few weeks, maybe a month. I don't know.
0:16
Time is weird. But I am happy to be back today.
0:23
We're going to be just kind of just catching up on what's been
0:25
going on and my time away, as well as I kind of have a topic I
0:31
want to touch on surrounding a movie I saw recently.
0:36
Oppenheimer as well as the anime I watched called Oku of the
0:39
Inner Chambers then I think would be kind of a interesting
0:45
thing to kind of discuss. But before I get to that, as
0:48
always, if this is your first time here, then welcome.
0:51
But if you're a returning listener and or watcher, then
0:54
welcome back. You'll know.
0:56
Y'all know here at Dad Needs to Talk.
0:58
It's all about fatherhood and family, manga, anime and video
1:02
games. So I hope everybody out there
1:06
has been doing well. Like I said, I know it's been a
1:12
little bit of time. Life has been busy, as it always
1:18
is, but I kind of just just kind of had to wake up because while
1:29
yes, I am tired a lot of days, I can't be tired forever and I
1:38
feel and hope that. Somebody out there is waiting to
1:45
hear your boy Rob talk and to come back.
1:48
So so that's what we are going to do today.
1:53
Just kind of catch up on stuff. But like I said I hope, I hope
1:58
all of y'all out there have been doing well.
2:02
To my fellow parents out there, it is back to school season.
2:09
Today when I'm recording was the first day of school for my kids.
2:13
So that's been, of course busy and hectic as usual in the days
2:18
leading up to today with, you know, school, shopping, the
2:22
clothes, the shoes. The haircuts and the redoing of
2:29
hair. All that jazz and preparation of
2:32
today. But you know, things went well.
2:36
Everybody made it to and from school safely.
2:40
Best stuff. Ash is now in kindergarten.
2:45
My middle boy, Andre, he's in fifth grade, and my oldest
2:49
three, my big three, They do sports.
2:52
They're all in 8th grade now and so new year, new challenges.
2:57
So I of course wish the best for all of my kids and all the best
3:02
for everybody out there. All of your kids as well and
3:05
just everybody out there in general.
3:07
Whether you have kids or not, if you're going back to school
3:09
yourself, you know all that stuff.
3:11
So much love to all of these students out there and I hope
3:15
y'all have an awesome and healthy start of the school
3:19
year. So yeah, so with that being said
3:23
so lately and I don't even know like I said with with it being
3:28
someone since I recorded just like a little bit of catch up of
3:33
course as usual, sports, sports, sports.
3:38
My daughter, the desk track she, you know summer, summer track
3:43
was a little bit rough this year but she kind of found her groove
3:46
again towards the end and ended up getting I think second or
3:51
third and one of her events in regionals.
3:53
So Congrats to her. My other daughter basketball
3:59
season went good all summer. They actually have a playoff
4:02
tournament this weekend to see if they might win the
4:04
championship, so I'm excited for that in the coming days and my
4:08
son doing what he do, my oldest son, him and my wife had the
4:14
opportunity. A month or so ago to go to Vegas
4:18
to play basketball. So that was very dope that he
4:21
got the opportunity to go out there.
4:24
I think that the team overall finished, I think maybe 4th or
4:27
5th. I think out of 16 teams across
4:30
the nation and and I believe he got to play against the team
4:34
from Canada, so it's pretty dope you know second, second kind of
4:38
international team. He's gotten to play this year
4:40
because he got to play against the team from London earlier in
4:44
the spring and stuff, so and there was a big tournament here
4:48
locally in DFWA few weeks ago where my son was, well let me go
4:55
back, so while he was in Vegas. He got to meet a former NBA
4:59
player, Antoine Jamison, because my son played against his son.
5:04
So they took pictures and stuff together and kind of sticking
5:09
along those same lines. A few weeks ago there was a big
5:13
basketball tournament that that my son's team was a part of here
5:15
in DFW. And one of the people that my
5:20
son was playing against was the younger brother of Anthony
5:25
Black, who. Was the number sixth pick in the
5:29
NBA draft this year, who is actually from the Dallas Fort
5:33
Worth Metroplex. So of course things were kind of
5:36
big in general because the younger brother and one of his
5:40
teammates, one of the teammates is like one of the top ranked
5:43
kids in the country. But the brother that just got
5:47
drafted, he was there as well. So my my son and daughter got to
5:51
take pictures with him and stuff.
5:53
So it's all around just just just kind of just more cool,
5:56
memorable moments and experiences and stuff.
6:00
And yeah, it's a kind of kept things off as we kind of get got
6:04
ready for the school, getting, going back to school, whatever.
6:07
I made it a goal last weekend to catch up on a bunch of movies
6:13
I've been wanting to see because I've gotten, I've missed a bunch
6:16
of stuff this summer just because.
6:18
You know, all this traveling and stuff, money was super tight.
6:22
But you know, last weekend I was like, you know what?
6:26
No, I need to, you know, yes, there are bills and things that
6:31
need to be paid or whatever, but we also have to live, you know,
6:37
and and do some stuff from time to time.
6:40
So, so me and my middle son went and saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja
6:48
Turtles meet in mayhem, Me and him.
6:51
Hopefully we'll get to record something on that soon.
6:54
But just speaking in general, that movie was a blast.
6:58
It was super fun to watch. I highly recommend it to
7:01
anybody, especially if you have any type of nostalgia for the
7:07
Ninja Turtles and stuff growing up.
7:10
Because like this movie, like the art style and stuff of it
7:13
was so dope and cool and unique and the voice cast was.
7:18
Beyond amazing, they had everybody from Giancarlo
7:22
Esposito to Ice Cube to John Cena and so many other dope
7:32
actors and stuff that they voiced all these awesome
7:36
characters and we just had a good time all the way around.
7:42
Like, I was laughing the whole freaking movie because there
7:46
there are so many references and stuff.
7:48
Like there was a freaking like Attack on Titan reference, My
7:51
hair, Academia Joe, just Bazar Adventure because Donatello was
7:56
rocking at Joe. Just Bazar Adventure hoodie and
7:58
stuff at one point. So I definitely was was loving
8:01
that and stuff, all the anime references.
8:04
But yeah, so that movie was super dope highly.
8:05
Recommend going and seeing that. Yeah.
8:09
After that, me and my daughters went to go and watch the Barbie
8:12
movie which was super awesome. And I think that my daughters
8:17
were kind of the perfect age to kind of enjoy it on a larger
8:25
scale, so to speak. Whatever.
8:27
So just because like because the movie did touch on a lot of more
8:32
kind of kind of like mature themes and and not necessarily
8:36
things whatever, but just like topics as far as like you know
8:39
like like like inequality with the women in the world and you
8:44
know women empowerment and stuff like that.
8:57
But you know, with my daughters now being teenagers, 13, about
9:01
to be 14 in a few months, you know, they also kind of got to
9:07
to grasp some of those deeper themes and topics and stuff as
9:13
well. And so they got to kind of go
8:49
and see it for the sake of it being Barbie and stuff because
8:52
of course my daughters, they they wore matching little pink
8:55
outfits and stuff. It's so.
9:14
But yeah, but we, we had an awesome time with that.
9:17
And then lastly, I kept off my weekend by going and seeing an
9:23
IMAX Oppenheimer, which I'm going to touch on in a minute.
9:29
But yeah, but aside from that, I think, I think I kind of, I
9:32
think I might also want to try to go and watch that Blue Beetle
9:35
movie in a couple of weeks because hey, shout out to having
9:39
a Fandango account and me and my kids going watching all these
9:43
movies, whatever. I got a little some five out off
9:47
coupons, whatever. I'm a cash in so dad can go and
9:50
watch a movie but but I think I'm going to take my middle son
9:54
to go and see a Blue Beetle because he watching the previews
9:58
of it. Whatever.
9:59
Before Ninja Turtles. He was like, that looks kind of
10:01
interesting. So I think we might try to go
10:03
and watch that. I thought that it was going to
10:05
be a freaking paw patrol movie. So I I might try to maybe take
10:10
Vash for his first kind of a theater experience because I I
10:14
know for sure that one. It's going to be a lot of kids
10:16
in there, so him being a little. Bit hype or whatever, that'd be
10:21
the perfect venue for that. So I know.
10:22
So just going to be full of kids, just hype and stuff.
10:25
And so I think I'll probably take Vash to go see that as well
10:29
as my middle son because my middle son was kind of like I
10:32
was kind of like yo no, no, no lie.
10:35
That movie looks kind of dope though.
10:39
So cuz you know, cuz he he's still kind of at that at that
10:41
perfect cuz he's 10, he'll be 11 later this year.
10:45
So he's kind of that kind of perfect spots where, you know,
10:47
he can watch some of the bigger movies or whatever, but he also
10:53
still kind of enjoys. Some of the more Kitty stuff.
10:56
Whatever too. So so I'm I'm I'm excited for
10:59
all of that. I'm trying to think of of course
11:04
I've been watching a lot of anime and stuff that I'm I'm not
11:09
going to dive into too much or whatever.
11:10
I'll probably in a probably a couple of weeks because we're
11:14
about to hit the midway point of the anime season.
11:18
So I would definitely probably do like a mid season check in
11:22
episode of something soon just to kind of let y'all know what
11:25
shows I've been watching for the summer 2023 anime season.
11:29
You know what stuff I've kind of stuck with this.
11:31
What stuff I'm. And maybe dropped and what stuff
11:34
I'm just purposely waiting on you know the kind of like build
11:38
up or wait for the season to finish whatever.
11:40
So but but of course you know shout out of course to did you
11:44
see Kaizen and Bleach and Job the street incarnation and
11:48
stuff. I guess since I'm already here
11:53
just very briefly whatever, you know I'm 100 really enjoying
11:58
that a surprise one that I. Fell in love with and I've been
12:02
enjoying every week is my happy marriage.
12:06
That one is streaming on Netflix right now every Wednesday.
12:09
That one. And I'm happy to see like so
12:11
many people on the timeline on Twitter and stuff talking about
12:14
it every week. Like I said, I'm going to go a
12:16
little bit more indepth on what more these shows and stuff are.
12:20
Like I said in one of the next episodes, whatever, but just
12:23
kind of just running down some of the stuff I've been watching.
12:26
But yeah, so bad. Harley Quinn.
12:32
The Harley Quinn show is back. I haven't watched it yet because
12:35
I think I want to kind of like let that build up and watch that
12:41
in a couple of. Weeks or once the season is
12:44
over, my adventures with Superman.
12:48
I watched the first few episodes of that.
12:49
That is dope. But I think I'm also going to
12:52
let that build up some reservation Dogs is back for its
12:57
final season. And yeah, I know I talked about
13:00
before like maybe like sometime last year, whatever, how much I
13:04
fell in love with that show. And shout out to the homie airy
13:06
from Soon Dairy for recommending that show when she was on last
13:11
fall. Because I really love that show,
13:13
very powerful show. So I'm, I'm excited to dive into
13:17
that. But like, so I'm trying to wait
13:18
for at least for it to maybe get close to it ending, whatever,
13:21
because this is the final season, so I definitely want to
13:24
just watch that in a good little chunk session or whatever.
13:29
What else? I feel like there's just so much
13:31
stuff from on the horizon, but I I I think there's kind of like
13:35
like the main ones. I'm either watching or looking
13:38
forward to watching. I I still need to finish up E
13:44
Taiwan class. I have one episode of that left
13:47
that's like a freaking hour and a half.
13:49
So I just need to book it out. Maybe this weekend.
13:52
Go ahead and knock that out, because I definitely would love
13:53
to talk about that on the podcast more.
13:58
And of course, since the last time I recorded, you know, I've
14:00
been checking out more stuff, I read and reviewed this dope
14:04
series from Saturday AM and from the Arthur JRD Bard called
14:09
Underground, which is a mixed martial arts manga type series
14:16
that is like super dope, beautiful art done by a black
14:23
creator. So go check out my review of
14:26
that. So look forward to doing more
14:29
stuff regarding that and Saturday AM in general.
14:32
And of course I finally finished reading IKEA ME, the ultimate
14:36
fantastic read. I've already recorded my review
14:40
for it. I just haven't posted it yet.
14:41
Maybe I'll post it sometime this month, but that was a fantastic
14:46
suspenseful read. Just kind of getting the look at
14:51
you know just just kind of just seeing.
14:55
The kind of light, light, like the thought process of somebody
14:57
knowing that they only had 24 hours to live, that was a very,
15:02
very some very powerful many stories within this overall
15:06
story along the way. I'm trying to think.
15:12
I think, I think that's kind of it in general for like like a
15:14
quick run down of stuff like that.
15:15
I've been watching and reading quickly.
15:19
I want to give a quick shout out to somebody as well, somebody
15:22
that I met recently online that hit me up that seems like he has
15:27
some pretty interesting stuff in the works that he is putting
15:31
together and trying to work on. Shout out to Javon Harris the.
15:35
Creator of Lumbeto and hopefully I pronounced that right.
15:40
Apologies if I didn't, but he created a site and a platform to
15:46
kind of help publish monger and light novels and stuff to kind
15:53
of basically just just trying to give more platforms for
15:57
different creatives and stuff. So I've been kind of chatting
16:00
with him and stuff. So go check him out, check his
16:04
workout, check his platform out and hopefully maybe in the
16:08
future me and him can kind of get together and talk once I
16:11
kind of get my stuff in order. Which Speaking of which, I
16:17
almost thought I would be down and out for a while because
16:20
y'all know I talked about. Talked a while back about how
16:23
you know, I currently can't really do too many
16:25
collaborations and stuff because my laptop has been having this
16:29
freaking weird issue with the with the wireless adapter or
16:35
something or whatever. I don't know to where it was
16:37
just randomly drop Internet connection but it would only do
16:41
it when I'm like collabing with somebody.
16:44
So I'm thinking this maybe too much.
16:46
I'm I'm trying to multitask too much on this kind of weak
16:50
machine, you know, Of course. Hey, I love it for what it is,
16:55
you know? It was a affordable investment
16:58
for me to start my podcast journey and stuff, and I
17:01
wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without without this little
17:04
laptop. But I kind of have outgrown it
17:08
at a faster pace than what I was thinking when I initially bought
17:12
it. Because I I didn't know or think
17:14
that I would be at the point that I'm at just in the short
17:18
couple of years of doing collabs with people, getting to do
17:22
conventions, doing panels of conventions, talking to college
17:27
classes about podcasting and all this stuff in such a short
17:30
amount of time and having that impact or whatever.
17:35
So definitely when I kind of get things in better order I will
17:39
definitely be upgrading and getting a a big boy dad needs a
17:45
PC upgrade for sure in the future.
17:50
But the other day I ran into an issue that we've actually had at
17:54
work to where? So at my job we have Dell
17:58
laptops and about a month ago we sort of seen were randomly
18:04
laptops like the Wi-Fi driver would just crap out or whatever
18:10
and so. You know, we, me and me and the
18:13
guys at work, we were thinking like Okay, which is something
18:14
just isolated with Dell and stuff for them because that's
18:18
you know, that's what we have at work or whatever.
18:23
But of course, you know, we just plug it into an Ethernet cable,
18:26
go to the Dell website, you know, update the driver and you
18:29
know we're back in business or whatever.
18:31
Well, the other night I used my laptop earlier that day.
18:35
Whatever. Went out doing work and family
18:38
business and stuff, whatever. Came down to sit in my space to
18:41
watch some anime and I just see the little, the little globe
18:44
logo of no Internet. I'm like okay.
18:47
We'll reconnect in a second minute or so past my still no
18:52
Internet, so I click on it or whatever.
18:54
I didn't even have an option for Wi-Fi, like like the entire
18:58
option for wireless network was just gone.
19:01
And I went and looked at my computer settings or whatever
19:03
and noticed that the driver was missing.
19:07
And this is a Lenovo laptop, so I'm like okay.
19:09
So I'm thinking just the process process of elimination is that
19:14
there's some type of weird funky issue going on, possibly with
19:18
Windows updates in general because it's not just tied to 1
19:22
brand of devices happening across the board.
19:24
But you know your boy putting my IT skills to work and
19:29
remembering with IT stuff. Always start with the basics.
19:34
Don't jump to the worst possible super complicated solution or
19:40
whatever. Start with the basics and I was
19:44
able to fix it by just simply going to the device manager and
19:49
disabling the Wi-Fi driver. Let it sit for a few minutes and
19:55
then went back, enabled it again and now it's been working.
19:59
Otherwise y'all wouldn't be seeing or hearing this episode.
20:04
So yeah, so shout out to. Robber IT brain for not
20:09
forgetting my roots or whatever, because it's like, hey, this is
20:12
my job. If if if I can't solve it or
20:15
whatever, then what are they paying me for?
20:21
But yeah, so that that's kind of a lot like a rough rundown of of
20:25
everything that's been kind of been going on what I've been
20:27
watching and and getting into and stuff, whatever lately since
20:31
I've been away. So, so real quick I I also kind
20:36
of got got got to give another quick shout out before I jump
20:39
into my topic. Whatever.
20:40
And these guys will probably never even see this or hear of
20:44
me or whatever because they're way bigger than I am.
20:48
But I I do have to give a special shout out to this
20:51
podcast called The Pivot Now. This podcast is done by three
20:57
former NFL players, Ryan Clark, Channing and Fred Taylor, and it
21:06
is a very deep and very powerful podcast where they have
21:11
interviews and discussions with a variety of different athletes
21:16
and celebrities and stuff they've had.
21:18
You know people from, you know, Kevin Hart to The Rock, Stephen
21:23
A Smith, Dana White, Floyd Mayweather.
21:29
Mike Tyson, Mike Tomlin, So many people just across the board are
21:35
Taylor Rooks and just so many people and Michael Beasley.
21:40
That was like one of like their most powerful episodes.
21:42
But just kind of listen to that show.
21:48
It's helped me a lot as not just from a creative aspect, just
21:54
seeing the work and grind that these guys do of course and
21:59
actually like they kind of have a a higher starting point like
22:04
to them being former NFL players or whatever.
22:06
So of course they have, you know, the funds and the contacts
22:09
and stuff, but still just seeing their work ethic and then
22:16
hearing these very deep conversations that they have
22:19
with a lot of these. People you know from, you know,
22:24
like I said from the athletes side and just some of them being
22:29
fathers, mothers, parents in general and stuff and just some
22:34
of their different life experiences and stuff and things
22:38
of that nature. And and it's kind of just been
22:39
very helpful for me to kind of like recontextualize how I kind
22:44
of think of stuff as a parent, how I think of stuff as a man,
22:47
as a black person, as a person in general.
22:51
And so I definitely had to kind of give them a shout out because
22:53
I I kind of spent a lot of time at work as I'm kind of going
22:59
through and doing my daytoday task.
23:01
Listen to their show and just kind of getting that inspiration
23:05
and motivation. And so like I said, they'll
23:08
probably never see this or know who who Robert or Danny's talk
23:12
is. But I definitely have to give,
23:15
you know, a shout out to them and that platform.
23:17
And like I said, I highly recommend y'all going and
23:20
checking that out, because even if you've not really an athlete
23:24
yourself, whatever, there is still so many powerful messages
23:28
to be heard and stuff from that show.
23:31
So now as they do pivoting the conversation, the topic I kind
23:39
of wanted to touch on today and like I said, this is kind of
23:42
kind of came to mind because like I said I'll I'll watch the
23:46
anime for Oak Who of the inner chambers a few weeks ago.
23:49
But especially after watching Oppenheimer this weekend and the
23:55
the kind of subject and theme I kind of just want to touch on a
23:59
little bit is. The weight of humanity and kind
24:04
of like the mental aspects, the mindset of certain people that
24:11
get put in certain roles or positions and how you know, that
24:17
might affect them, knowing that they have the weight of little
24:23
humanity on their shoulders. And so to kind of give a little
24:27
bit of more context for what I'm about to talk about or whatever,
24:32
I I guess I'll start with with Oku of the Inner Chambers real
24:36
quick. So this series basically follows
24:41
and like and the anime for this is on Netflix, it's 10 episodes
24:44
long but it basically follows the at O period in Japan and
24:51
this rare disease spreads to the country whether they call it
24:56
they call it Red Face Pox. And basically the disease only
25:01
targets typically young men or young adult men, and so that
25:08
leads to a decrease in the male population to the point where
25:11
it's like 1. For, for like for like every
25:16
five women is 1 male or whatever, so to speak.
25:19
And so with that happening, you know, a lot of the societal
25:23
norms start to shift to where now there is there.
25:28
At the top, it ends up having to be a female Shogun because
25:31
there's no male heirs. A lot of the families and
25:37
different businesses and stuff, whatever.
25:39
A lot of the women in the families have to take over the
25:42
farming and the shopkeeping, blacksmithing, all this stuff,
25:45
whatever, because now they're having to protect the few males,
25:50
whatever, from getting sick. So that you know.
25:54
Families and lineages can't can't continue.
25:56
So that that that's the crux behind the oku of of the inner
26:00
chambers and it it it is a very powerful story but of course
26:07
with some some kind of like heavy themes heavy episodes some
26:11
kind of know going into it what that is.
26:14
And then on the other side Oppenheimer follows the story of
26:19
J Robert Oppenheimer on which my name also being robbery you know
26:24
just hearing that name all throughout the movie whatever
26:26
you know it kind of follows his journey into or it basically
26:33
follows him as a person being the person who is known as the
26:39
father of the atomic bomb. He is kind of like the mind, the
26:43
mastermind so to speak, behind the process that led to the
26:48
atomic bomb being created. And of course.
26:50
You know what we. So what happens with that being
26:53
being dropped, the two atomic bombs that ended up being
26:57
dropped on Japan back during that time and how that kind of
27:01
just changed, you know the world in so many ways or whatever.
27:08
And so just just just kind of watching that, watching that
27:11
movie, watching this anime and even in a way of reading it can
27:17
yami as well it it just kind of just just makes me think about
27:24
how much pressure certain situations might be on a person.
27:31
And kind of like because of course, like, you know like I'm
27:34
watching this movie from the perspective of hindsight all
27:37
these years like after this whatever.
27:39
But watching this movie and just kind of seeing the kind of
27:45
mental anguish in some sense of not just him but the people
27:49
around him of this thing that they're in the process of
27:54
creating and of course, you know, eventually gets to a point
27:59
of OK, they created it. Well now how it's used is no
28:03
longer in their grasp because hey big government just come
28:06
through, alright. You know just come just pluck it
28:08
out the. Alright, thanks for creating the
28:09
bomb. We'll we'll take it from here.
28:12
And then you know they do they do do what they did but still
28:17
having that weight are you. Because even though yes you
28:22
might not have been the one that dropped the bomb on Japan.
28:27
But still the fact of you had a hand in creating this
28:33
Worldchanging thing and it it, it just kind of just makes me,
28:37
you know, just just kind of made me like sit back, sit back and
28:39
think if you know it kind of just just like sometimes it made
28:46
me wonder if like maybe I don't want to do or get too big in
28:52
this space or content creation or be super well known to the
28:56
point to where my words could or my actions could potentially
29:03
influence millions of people, hundreds, thousands of people.
29:09
Because even like like example, something has to happen over the
29:13
weekend. This streamer, I think his name
29:16
is Kai Sanat or whatever. I don't, I don't know how to
29:19
pronounce it, whatever, but how? You know he's super big stream
29:24
or whatever, but he's young, 21 year old guy and he carelessly
29:30
just put out a message being like, hey, I'm going to do a
29:33
giveaway where I'm getting away to PS5 and some other stuff,
29:36
whatever, We're going to meet at Union Park in AT in New York,
29:40
whatever at this time, whatever. And thousands of people
29:43
descended upon that park with no other planning, no letting
29:48
lawmakers know or whoever to kind of organize the thing, just
29:51
like, hey, just show up at the spot.
29:53
And it led to riots in the street, people, people getting
29:56
arrested, businesses in the area just getting thrashed.
30:00
And this is all of course, it's not.
30:04
It's partly on this guy for Killersly saying it or whatever,
30:08
but just the fact that his voice, his influence is so great
30:15
that he could just say, hey, I'm going to be here at this place
30:18
at this time doing this thing and thousands of people come and
30:22
chaos and sue. Like I said, it just, it just
30:26
kind of just makes you think of the mindset of knowing you have
30:32
that much power, that much influence on people.
30:37
Because even even the small, tiny bit of whatever type of
30:41
influence, even I might have something as simple as, hey, I
30:46
read and reviewed, you know, underground or twenty 20th
30:51
century boys or whatever. Venice, like a blue period,
30:54
whatever. And that somebody can comment on
30:58
my video or message me or whatever and be like, hey,
31:01
thanks for reviewing this or hey, thanks for talking about
31:03
this. Whatever.
31:04
I went in, read that or hey, I went and watched it or hey, I
31:08
went and bought that game or hey, I went in, you know,
31:13
checked out that soda that you said, oh, Robert talked about
31:16
that new strawberries and cream doctor pepper or whatever a
31:22
while back. And I went and bought me a pack
31:24
and I like it too. Whatever.
31:26
And it's like even just just this, my small little bit of
31:31
influence or whatever sometimes like, yo, you know, I only have,
31:36
you know, a few 100 subscribers on YouTube and you know, maybe
31:40
maybe a few dozen people that listen to the podcast regularly
31:43
or whatever. But even still, just knowing
31:45
that my voice can move people in some way or another, just kind
31:52
of, you know, wants to keep it. It kind of wants to make sure I
31:56
keep myself humble and away. But like I said, just kind of
32:01
just knowing the potential domino effect that could have on
32:05
people around me because because because kind of thinking going
32:10
back to to Oppenheimer. Just kind of like like like
32:14
looking on like his family lineage after him or whatever
32:17
were like you know his daughter you know was got into like some
32:24
some science stuff whatever. And she tried to she she tried
32:29
to get into some type of like big government thing or whatever
32:33
where she you know needed like security clearance to do
32:35
whatever thing whatever. Well, because of how the
32:39
government of stuff treated her father after, in a way, it's
32:43
okay. Hey, cool, you created this
32:45
thing for us. Whatever.
32:47
Now we're going to take you to trial and all this other crazy
32:50
stuff. Whatever.
32:51
And strip you of your security clearance and all this stuff.
32:54
Whatever. Well, now when his daughter went
32:56
to go get some security clearances like your dad, though
33:00
your dad, and we're going to deny you this whatever.
33:04
And you know she ended up you know due to that situation and
33:08
some other stuff, whatever taking herself out unfortunately
33:12
whatever. And it's like and and also kind
33:14
of looking into because of course another big figure that
33:18
was around back during that time was Albert Einstein.
33:22
And just kind of after the movie and like like because honestly
33:25
and of course this is just like my lack of knowledge or
33:28
whatever, but you know it it it's kind of crazy because I
33:31
always think of like Albert Einstein being super mega old
33:35
old old. But it's like, no, Albert
33:36
Einstein was was around during World War One and two or
33:41
whatever. And he knew Oppenheimer.
33:44
And Oppenheimer went and talked to Albert Einstein about some of
33:48
these early ideas with her. But Einstein was like, I don't
33:51
basically, I don't want no part of this whatever And telling him
33:55
no Oppenheimer, like, hey, it's your time now, whatever.
34:00
You're going to see how they treat you.
34:02
Like, yes, they're you're going to get the the bigger wars and
34:05
they're going to pat you on the back and shake your hand and all
34:08
this stuff when you do these great things.
34:11
But then basically for like a better time, it's like and
34:15
eventually they will turn on you and demonize you and criticize
34:20
you for changing things and all this stuff, whatever.
34:23
And just kind of like looking at the pressure on on Einstein's
34:30
lineage to where you have somebody who is considered one
34:34
of the greatest minds of our of the human race and history or
34:39
whatever. What kind of pressure is that on
34:44
your your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids now
34:47
whatever to where? Most of I think like the great
34:49
grandkids whatever they live in like solitude or whatever.
34:52
You know just because of that pressure of you know being put
34:56
in try to live up to that that that lineage or whatever.
35:04
And it it it it just kind of just honestly just kind of scary
35:07
to think about. And like I said like Oppenheimer
35:11
watching that movie it just like really sent heavy.
35:16
It was. It was like a heavyweight on my
35:17
mind that whole night and the the couple of days following me
35:23
watching whatever to the point to where for for majority of my
35:26
car ride home, I just sat in silence.
35:29
Honestly, I sat in silence in my car for a few minutes before
35:33
even driving off, but even then I didn't even want to listen to
35:38
any music or listen to a podcast.
35:40
Whatever I might drive home, I just wanted.
35:43
To just be in silence with my thoughts because like I said,
35:49
just like that, that movie, like, so just phenome, just just
35:52
a phenomenal look. At a person because I I
36:00
sometimes find myself having like mental anguish over just
36:06
just various daytoday life. Stuff I have to deal with as
36:09
just as a person, as a man, as a father and stuff.
36:15
With my family, with my kids, you know, stuff with, work,
36:18
stuff with, you know what I'm doing with with this podcast and
36:22
content creation and stuff, whatever.
36:24
And it's just like thinking of some of the daytoday pressures I
36:30
have just like example of like, hey, you know, I got my, my
36:36
family depending on me for certain stuff, whatever.
36:38
And then just like just like even trying to fathom that
36:44
multiplied times millions of it's not just my little family.
36:51
Here that I have to think of the impact of what I do or whatever
36:58
has on them. But with Oppenheimer just
37:02
throughout that movie they they especially like I said things
37:04
kind of got deeper and deeper into the research and them
37:08
creating this thing where they've been doing the test and
37:10
stuff whatever. And just knowing like I said,
37:15
for one that literally the. Fate of your whole country
37:21
starting off on that point or whatever is, is depending on you
37:26
because it's like hey man, hey, if if if you don't create this
37:29
or whatever, then somebody else will or whatever and they'll use
37:33
it on us first. Whatever.
37:34
If if we don't use it or whatever, but then like I said,
37:37
like then it going from just OK, I'm doing this to protect my
37:40
country, my home, so to speak to now.
37:45
I've created something that has forever changed.
37:49
The course of humanity How? How do you even fathom that type
37:59
of mindset? But like I said, the movie did
38:01
such a great job of those moments to where you know where
38:05
he's going out in front of a crowd.
38:08
You know that they're all there to see him or whatever and
38:11
congratulate him or whatever to where.
38:12
It's like sometimes he was just just zoning out, just like from
38:16
all the noise and the lights and the applause and the foot
38:19
stomping or whatever. And it just all just like zoned
38:23
out. He's just like if just
38:26
encapsulated in the moment or whatever.
38:30
I I I can't even imagine. And like I said, I don't know if
38:35
I would ever want to to to be in that position because because I
38:41
think that might be something that might potentially drive me
38:46
towards insanity. Or honestly, you'll probably
38:50
lead me towards wanting to live a life of of seclusion, you
38:55
know, because because you know that there's even been times to
38:57
where I've kind of thought back to like, like, me even making
39:02
this small the choice of switching to doing video and
39:06
stuff for for my podcasts and stuff, you know, all all that
39:10
time back. You know, just because it's
39:15
like, it's like sometimes it's like, OK, well, hey.
39:17
And now it's not just my voice is out there now my face is out
39:20
there and stuff And why even sometimes I'd be hesitant about,
39:25
you know, having my kids and stuff on sometimes to where it's
39:27
like, you know, so some of them, their faces are kind of getting
39:32
out there anyways because you know, like like like my older
39:34
ones that are doing sports, whatever.
39:36
So like they're, you know, social media and stuff from time
39:39
to time or getting posted in. Clips or highlight reels from
39:43
different tournaments and events and stuff, whatever.
39:45
So it's like they're already getting exposure in some ways or
39:48
whatever. So you know it's kind of you
39:50
know it's some ways kind of already getting out of my hand
39:53
or whatever And so it's it's it's it's just a tricky just
39:58
just a tricky line to kind of tell.
40:00
But the same time I do still. I'm still glad that I do do
40:08
this, and I did take these steps to.
40:10
Create this platform to put my voice out there, put my face out
40:13
there, because there are other people out there like me.
40:19
Whether, whether it's just a simple fact of your fellow nerd
40:22
or your fellow black person, black man, your fellow dad, a
40:27
parent in general. And just knowing that, oh, hey,
40:30
there's there's another black out there.
40:31
Hey, there's another dad. There's another parent that is
40:34
doing this stuff that is talking about the nerdy things he loves,
40:37
as well as talking about family issues and just life experiences
40:42
and stuff. And so I do this because I hope
40:46
that it means something to someone out there.
40:50
And like I said, regardless of, you know how or where this this
40:57
thing might go, you know, hey, maybe I never get.
41:00
Any bigger than than what I am now?
41:03
Or who knows, maybe someday I become one of the biggest things
41:05
in the world. But whatever the case may be,
41:08
it's just a matter of making sure I stay humble and just try
41:15
to keep as much control of my image, my message and stuff as
41:22
as possible. But like I said, the thing with
41:26
with Oppenheimer, it's just like sometimes these things get
41:29
larger than you and stuff like that.
41:33
Or in the case of like like like with the oak or the inner
41:35
chambers, sometimes it is literally life threatening
41:40
situations towards a hey, somebody had to step up and make
41:44
a change and that's what you know, a lot of the women and
41:46
their families and stuff, they was like, well, we still need to
41:51
eat and we still need to, you know, get work and make money
41:55
and stuff, whatever. So hey, I'll step up and I'll
41:59
take care of, you know. Doing the farm, I'll take care
42:02
of. Running the business, I'll take
42:03
care of being the blacksmith. I'll have to step up and be the
42:06
Shogun and just make those tough calls.
42:09
Because some sometimes, sometimes it takes somebody
42:16
being the target, someone being the face to make their family,
42:24
their community, their nation, the world.
42:30
Move and to shift in certain ways and Oppenheimer ended up
42:36
being the person put in that position.
42:40
And so I hope that all of that that I've said made some type of
42:45
sense to somebody out there. And you know, I hope that you
42:50
know it's just a reminder that while some of us there are some
42:56
people that have. A lot of actual power, a lot of
42:59
influence, a lot of weight on them.
43:02
And the things they do, they say.
43:05
At the end of it, we do us to remember that that that we are
43:09
all people, those are all people saying and doing these different
43:14
things, whatever. And so sometimes try to give
43:18
some bit of grace with some stuff, whatever, but also of
43:22
course holding people accountable when they need to be
43:24
held accountable. But like I said, also knowing
43:27
that like, hey, there's a way to be constructive criticism, so to
43:32
speak with with certain things or topics to be discussed and
43:36
things like that. Because like I said, sometimes
43:39
things just kind of blow up and get big and greater than we ever
43:44
anticipated because it's kind of kind of kind of like a like a
43:47
recent example as well Dream Con was was a week or two ago.
43:55
And it was crazy kind of seeing how much growth they've had.
44:02
And so just for contest of what I'm talking about so they they
44:05
put up how, how their numbers grew since they started.
44:08
So in 2018 they had 800 attendees to the convention.
44:12
2019, 1200 of course, 2020 COVID Central Convention, 2020, one,
44:17
3020, two 6000 this year, 2023, so 6000 last year.
44:23
This year they had over 20,000 attendees.
44:27
So they went from growing by a few 100 to doubling to tripling
44:36
to practically practically quadrupling within a year.
44:43
And it's just like you know and and certain certain you know
44:47
people and stuff I see around you know it it it's just kind of
44:51
a reminder that like. You know, of course there's a
44:55
mix between obviously if you're doing good work and putting out
44:59
good stuff, whatever people will come, you know.
45:02
But like I said, sometimes, sometimes the growth and stuff
45:05
is planned and some of the stuff that we do.
45:08
And then sometimes, you know, you create something that you're
45:11
like OKI think that was solid or you're like, I don't know, but I
45:14
still post it and you wake up the next day and potentially
45:18
your life has changed, you know, or.
45:21
Or it might take, hey, maybe you've been putting out good
45:23
stuff, whatever, but you're just not getting noticed or attention
45:26
because of, you know, the algorithms and different stuff
45:29
like that or whatever. And then maybe you get on
45:32
somebody who's bigger, get on their radar, they shout you out
45:36
or whatever, and then overnight, boom, you grow.
45:38
You explode, you know, and you have more, you know, fame and
45:44
wealth than than what you can can ever imagine.
45:47
I know that happened with the. With the country, Wayne and his
45:51
skits and stuff, all them years ago and and so many other people
45:56
and stuff. So yeah, so I guess I'll just
46:00
say continue to be who you are and to do what you do.
46:08
But like I said, but just also just know and remember that your
46:13
words do have power, even if you feel like you don't have.
46:19
A bunch of followers or a bunch of influence and reach and other
46:23
stuff. Whatever.
46:25
Sometimes like I said you never know who might get impacted by
46:30
what you say and what you do and so just continue to do what you
46:35
do because you enjoy it because and I kind of got to go going
46:41
back to to you know when I shut it out some dairy earlier she
46:46
she did a. Interview recently with Cheyenne
46:49
the geek and talking about her journey into, you know, all the
46:55
different opportunities and hosting gigs and work and stuff
46:59
that she's done over the years, whatever.
47:01
And you know, one of the things she talked about was like, hey,
47:03
don't get so fixated on, you know, the numbers and followers
47:07
and all that stuff for her because, like, it's like, yeah,
47:09
it's cool, but at the same time, whatever, if you're doing good
47:13
work, it will get recognized. Because I know plenty of people
47:16
who. Have big listeners or whatever
47:21
on their podcast or on their videos, whatever.
47:23
But if you look at the Twitter, it's like OK, you know like
47:27
perfect example shout out to to the to the homies over at 3
47:30
weeks in a podcast. Like they're one of the they've
47:34
been one of the top five anime podcasts for a couple of years
47:38
now whatever. But you know, they don't have
47:41
like a super big following on Twitter or whatever, but you
47:44
know, it's like. Those things don't always equate
47:50
success or whatever. So, so yeah, so like I kind of
47:53
went off from a little bit of a tension there, whatever.
47:56
But like I said, just just all of that like I hope that
47:58
something that I said here with this subject will resonate with
48:02
somebody in some way. So yeah, so like I said that
48:10
that all kind of led me to wanted to get back in the swing
48:15
of. Recording and doing the podcast
48:17
and stuff because like I said, I've, I've honestly missed it.
48:20
And like I said, I kind of, you know, kind of kind of kind of
48:26
took the right and the excuse of, you know, being tired, of
48:28
course, you know, and of course I was tired, but the same time,
48:31
like I said earlier or or I mentioned on Twitter or
48:33
whatever. So I was like, I can't be tired
48:36
forever. And part of me do hope that
48:40
maybe it's maybe someday that this might grow into something.
48:45
More than I could ever imagine, but it can ever grow if I'm not
48:51
doing anything or whatever. And like I said, just listen to
48:55
these different interviews that Ari did and like I said that the
48:59
stuff for watching the Pivot podcast and all that stuff and
49:03
just all these things, I'm just kind of like taking it and and
49:05
absorbing. And like I said, I wanted to
49:08
kind of put my thoughts and stuff out there to to those of
49:11
y'all because like I said, hopefully some of y'all.
49:14
Missed me being in your podcast feed or in your in your YouTube
49:18
feed or wherever you find me at over over these last few weeks
49:22
and stuff. So I definitely had to come back
49:24
and talk to y'all and like so just just kind of get my
49:26
thoughts out there on some of this stuff.
49:27
So, so yeah, so, so let me know you know if if y'all have been,
49:32
if y'all got to go watch Oppenheimer or or anything else
49:35
that was kind of impacted you in a way lately and stuff.
49:39
So I definitely would would love to have that conversation.
49:42
So, so yeah, so but before I get out of here, I definitely want
49:45
to kind of shout out. I tried out doing some some
49:50
YouTube shorts a couple weeks ago, whatever, and I really
49:54
enjoyed it. I took a different approach on
49:55
them to where I kind of wanted to put some more, a more of a
49:59
personal spin on on these YouTube shorts and stuff than
50:05
than normal, whatever. So, so the couple of shorts that
50:11
I did. So a couple of them I talked
50:15
about a couple of new manga I read.
50:17
One of them is a wild strawberry, which is a series
50:22
where I'm trying to make sure I'm getting mixed up to where
50:26
for whatever reason, these wild plants sort of taking over Japan
50:31
and it basically kind of turned into like kind of like a a.
50:35
Tokyo Ghoul slash Parasite Maxim Type of Vibe to where?
50:42
If you get infected with these plants, whatever, then
50:45
eventually they'll take over your body or whatever and that
50:48
There are some people who can kind of control them.
50:50
Like I said, kind of like a ghoul thing.
50:53
Or like like like. Some of the people in Parasite
50:55
or whatever, so I did a short on that.
50:58
I also did a short on Fortnight, which is another kind of plant
51:01
based mystery series. But in this one, the sun got
51:06
blocked out some time ago and so of course there's not enough
51:10
oxygen. In the air for humanity.
51:13
And so there's this program to where if you're on the verge of
51:18
death or you know you're probably about to die soon, you
51:21
can get this kind of like surgery done that basically gets
51:25
this seed and planted in your body to where within I think
51:28
like 2 years you will fully turn, your body will fully turn
51:32
into a plant. And then of course then you
51:35
would then be providing. Oxygen and stuff to the world,
51:40
to the humanity and stuff, whatever.
51:41
In exchange for you get a pretty hefty sum of money or whatever
51:45
to use in these last couple of years of.
51:47
Your life, whatever. So that one's been pretty dope,
51:50
but the other three shorts I did, I did one called One Piece
51:55
Is Forever. That kind of just ties into how
51:59
One Piece is always there and has an impact on my life over
52:04
the years. Like like how One Piece has been
52:06
there through. Me getting married, having kids,
52:09
job changes, life changes and stuff.
52:12
I did another one called a OI She and a parents hope where it
52:17
kind of focuses on just like like how we kind of hope for the
52:21
best you know in our kids and things like that.
52:25
And then I did one called a Venus saga and journey of
52:28
healing and just kind of talking about how how that Thorpen's
52:33
journey of, you know, what he dealt with as a child, you know,
52:37
losing his father to the path of revenge and losing that and then
52:42
having to kind of like find a new purpose again or whatever.
52:45
So those kind of those really special ones that I did, so go
52:48
check those out on my YouTube channel.
52:52
Like I said, I have other reviews and stuff that I have in
52:55
the tuck. I have some discussions I did on
52:58
The Bear and what I do with the Homie Chris from Anime Again
53:01
show and stuff lately that I still need to get situated and
53:05
stuff because they kind of had some problem.
53:07
I kind of had some problems when recording those because that was
53:09
when my Wi-Fi issues and stuff was going on.
53:12
So I got to get those situated or whatever, so hopefully I can
53:14
have those out over the coming. Weeks trying to think aside from
53:20
that, aside from that, like I said, I'm kind of trying.
53:29
I'm trying to get myself ramped up and print back up to.
53:33
To play more games and stuff. Y'all because it's like it's
53:36
like there's been so many like interesting games that have come
53:39
out lately. Whatever that I've been wanting
53:41
to try out or whatever, I just haven't been able to find that
53:43
groove again. And this is something I kind of
53:46
want to maybe I'll do like like another kind of maybe like a
53:49
like a mini episode talking about this.
53:50
But I definitely want to kind of touch on the topic of taking
53:54
back my time. And like I said, I'm going to go
53:58
into like a whole different thing on this another day or
53:59
whatever. But it just, I definitely know I
54:01
I kind of, I give a lot of myself to my family, my wife, my
54:07
kids, my job and stuff. And I need to take some of that
54:12
back for me. And you know, in doing the
54:16
things I loved doing like playing games and stuff,
54:19
whatever. Because a lot of that just just
54:21
got lost as I've put so much of my 7000 stuff like, so I'll say
54:25
that for. I know another topic later on or
54:29
whatever, but you know that there's some dope games coming
54:33
up on the horizon. Like like Picnic Four came out
54:36
recently. Me and Vash played a little bit
54:39
of the demo of that on the Switch and that that was really
54:43
fun to do. Whatever.
54:45
Vash had so much fun, just even just we work together, work
54:48
together to create the little the character and stuff that he
54:51
wanted to create in the game. Like those of Y'all watching the
54:56
video. That's the that's the character
54:58
Bash it created. He wanted to go all pink with
55:02
the pink Mohawk and space suit or whatever.
55:06
So that that was kind of funny diving into that.
55:12
I'm I'm I'm interested in trying potentially.
55:15
I don't know if I'm actually going to pull the trigger and
55:17
get it, but I'm I'm, I'm interested in potentially.
55:22
Trying out Armored Core 6. When that comes out at the end
55:25
of the month I preordered me the Spiderman PS5 controller, the
55:34
the the the Door Sense controller just because I was.
55:38
I've been needing to get a second controller for the long
55:40
time. I'm still so sad that dumb
55:44
Robert from a year ago didn't preorder the God of War one,
55:49
because that one was the perfect one for me.
55:52
There's my favorite color, blue. It had two.
55:56
It had wolves on it, which is my favorite animal.
55:59
And it's like I said God of War, which y'all know how much that
56:02
series means to me and my connection with my son Vash.
56:07
But I was like, you know what? I'll get this one or whatever.
56:10
And I'm planning on putting it up like like that is my
56:15
controller, that is dad's controller.
56:17
Like cause man I don't know what happened lately but Vash like
56:22
eating tow up one of my thumbsticks?
56:24
My PS5 controller. I went to go play it last night
56:27
or whatever he has a bad habit of while he's eating and
56:30
snacking or whatever. Playing on the games and stuff,
56:33
whatever. So like, so both my control, my
56:35
PS4 controller, my wife's Xbox series controller are kind of
56:39
jacked up or whatever. And so I'm like when I get the
56:42
Spiderman one or whatever, I only I will be playing with it
56:46
or whatever. And when I'm not home, it's
56:49
either going to be put up somewhere hiding or I'm a put in
56:53
my backpack and I'll take it to work with me.
56:56
That's how much I don't trust leaving it here or whatever.
56:59
Like I said, same thing with my wife.
57:00
Or I'm about to get her her another, which that's the reason
57:03
why I got her the controller she had now.
57:04
I was like, hey, Vash messed up your last one.
57:07
Here's one. I think I got it for her for
57:09
Valentine's Day or for her birthday or whatever earlier
57:10
this year. And I was like, hey, this is
57:12
yours. But she messed around that Vash
57:15
get his little, get his little mitts on her or whatever, and
57:17
now it's jacked up. So.
57:19
So yeah, so I'm going to do that as a little treat to myself.
57:24
Starfield is a month away. I don't know how deep I'll get
57:28
into it because I I'm not too big of an RPG guy, whatever.
57:31
But hey, it's going to be on Game Pass, so I I definitely got
57:33
at least like take it for a spin.
57:35
I got to just download it or whatever, take it for a spin
57:37
around the block. But most of the big games I'm
57:43
looking forward to whatever is like in October.
57:45
It's like Mario Wonder Spiderman 2, Alan Wake to different stuff
57:50
like that. I'm I'm more interested in
57:54
checking out but I am curious and that this might be one I
57:58
kind of pull the trigger on maybe sometime soon.
58:00
Just kind of like get myself back in the groove of playing
58:03
something for me. Telltale is back.
58:07
Telltale Games is back and and they are they.
58:11
They just put out a game for based on the the expense TV
58:16
show, book series or whatever. I've heard great things about
58:18
the show or the series in general or whatever.
58:20
And so I was like you know what, I enjoyed playing a lot of the
58:24
tiptoe games back in the day where they were.
58:25
Of course, you know they were a little janky and stuff whatever.
58:29
So which is why they kind of ended up shutting down having to
58:31
go away for a while. But I they, I hope that you know
58:36
they've learned some lessons or whatever and come out with a
58:37
newer better engine and stuff. Whatever.
58:39
So I think I want to maybe get this game a chance and maybe it
58:42
might be a a a a work for me to kind of like get introduced into
58:47
this expense series or whatever. And maybe it might it might
58:50
convince me to to want to watch the show or whatever on on.
58:54
I think it's on Amazon Prime and stuff.
58:56
So we're. Speaking of Amazon Prime, real
58:59
quick Whatever. Shout out to Invincible Season
59:02
2. It's coming back later this year
59:04
along with Loki Season 2, both of them coming out later in the
59:08
fall but they put out a Adam and Eve special for Invinsible a few
59:14
a couple weeks ago. Whatever that I need to dive
59:16
into and watch that as well. So I have a lot of somebody to
59:19
watch and check out and stuff so but by the way so I think I
59:22
might check out that Expanse show.
59:28
Yeah or that that Expanse game or whatever 1st and they kind of
59:31
see like where where that might take me and stuff whatever.
59:33
So but yeah so it it's it's a lot of stuff like.
59:36
So I kind of want to dive into and dabble into like like for
59:42
those of y'all that might that don't follow my YouTube channel
59:44
whatever. I did a video last week kind of
59:49
as like a. Kind of like like like like a
59:51
final biggest manga hall for now because I I need to I cut off on
59:57
doing manga halls, which I I've been stopped doing it for a
1:00:00
while, but I just had all this stuff just piled up behind me.
1:00:03
I just wanted to to do a hall to document it or whatever.
1:00:06
But I want to start going through stuff with purpose.
1:00:10
And that's why like, I kind of just buckle down and delve into
1:00:13
reading. And he got me the ultimate loved
1:00:15
it. Now I kind of want to start
1:00:17
going through, especially some of these series that I have the
1:00:18
full set for like sweat and soap.
1:00:22
Like, No Guns Life. I want to catch up on Villain,
1:00:26
Saga and Lost Lad, London and so many other series or whatever.
1:00:31
So I want to, I want to do, have more appreciation for the stuff
1:00:34
I have versus always running out and buying, buying, buying, and
1:00:38
then you know it. It's stuff that I bought my
1:00:41
first year of doing the podcast that I still have never read.
1:00:44
Some stuff is still in the freaking plastic wrapping man.
1:00:47
So it's like Rob, you got to do better whatever and actually
1:00:50
have more better purpose and intention and the content and
1:00:53
stuff that I do. Which, of course, they those
1:01:18
shorts took a lot of time and a lot of passion or whatever, for
1:01:22
sure, because trying to condense a constructive thought and
1:01:27
message into a minute is a task upon itself.
1:00:54
Things I talk about and stuff. But yeah, so little Ravel from
1:00:59
me on that or whatever. But but, but yeah, but I think
1:01:01
aside from that, I think that's it, man.
1:01:05
Like I said, I hope that y'all enjoy this episode.
1:01:07
Like I said, it feels good to be back doing this.
1:01:12
Like I said, not really doing it in a month because I like I
1:01:14
said, I did the one review, whatever and some of those.
1:01:30
But I'm happy to be able to come here and just talk with y'all
1:01:34
for about an hour or so today. And like I said, I hope that
1:01:37
y'all receive this once. Y'all watch it, listen to it,
1:01:42
all that stuff, whatever. And look.
1:01:44
Forward to the to the other dope stuff that I have coming.
1:01:47
And like I said, I look forward to hopefully being on the road
1:01:51
to to growth and prosperity because I have plans for big
1:01:57
things coming in the future as I kind of get my technology and
1:02:02
and set up and stuff in order. I definitely want to do more
1:02:06
things, but I also, but I want to you know function within the
1:02:12
confines of what I have now and make do with what I have because
1:02:18
y'all been rocking with me to this point.
1:02:20
So I know, I know y'all don't come here because oh Robbie got
1:02:23
the got the biggest and latest and greatest setup whatever is
1:02:26
like y'all come here because y'all want to hear me talk,
1:02:30
y'all want to see me. I want to know what I'm
1:02:32
thinking, what I'm doing, what I'm into whatever.
1:02:35
And I greatly appreciate that. It's like I said, hey, here's to
1:02:40
bigger and better things into a bright future.
1:02:42
But I think I'm a wrap it up there.
1:02:46
As always, thank y'all so much for watching and or listening.
1:02:49
As always you can find me everywhere at Dad needs to talk
1:02:53
and hit me up. Let me know what y'all have been
1:02:55
up to lately which I've been watching, reading, playing
1:02:59
what's on your horizon of stuff that you're interested in.
1:03:01
What do y'all think of the topic of the weights, the mental
1:03:06
weights of humanity that I touched on today And yeah, all
1:03:11
of that stuff, but but yeah, so thank you so much and y'all take
1:03:17
care of y'all says. Like I said, shout out to all of
1:03:20
the kids, the families, everybody that's involved with
1:03:22
going back to school and make sure those of y'all be careful
1:03:28
out there, like as y'all are going through these school zones
1:03:32
or just different areas, neighborhoods or whatever, Drive
1:03:35
slow, drive safe or whatever. Because I I don't want to see
1:03:38
any more sad news stories like the the unfortunate one at
1:03:43
Frisco ISD here in DFW where the young man first day of school,
1:03:49
10th grade, he riding his bike to school for football practice
1:03:52
or whatever. Somebody going too fast to the
1:03:55
school zone hit the young man on his bike and he he unfortunately
1:03:59
didn't make it. And so it's like, we definitely
1:04:02
don't want to endanger anybody, especially our youth, man.
1:04:06
Like like we got to take care of the kids and stuff and so.
1:04:09
Be mindful. Don't always be in such a rush
1:04:12
as we try to go to and fro from the places we need to get to.
1:04:17
Because you being in a rush could change the trajectory of
1:04:23
your life and of somebody else's life.
1:04:25
Because now that one situation changed the course of that of
1:04:29
that kid's family's life forever.
1:04:31
And now the person who did it is their life has changed forever
1:04:34
too. So let's all just be careful, be
1:04:37
safe and take care of one another.
1:04:40
And as I always say, treat yourself to something nice.
1:04:45
Resa Monger, watch some anime and TV, play some video games
1:04:48
and live your best life. And with that I'm out.
1:04:52
I love y'all so much. Thank you for all the support
1:04:55
and everything and I will catch on the next one.
1:04:58
Y'all be easy peace.
