New Dog, Blue Giant Movie, Fionna and Cake · Dad Needs To Talk

0:03
What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's
0:06
Talk. I'm your host, Robert, and today
0:09
today we're talking about my new dog and my thoughts on the Blue
0:17
Giant movie and the Fiona and Cake Adventure Time series.
0:23
So it's been a little minute just a couple weeks.
0:29
Shout out to shout out to the Homie Gooch for hitting your boy
0:32
up being like yo man ain't been a new episode in a couple weeks.
0:35
Yeah you are live out there so you know life has been life in.
0:40
But I'll get to that in a second because as always if this is
0:44
your first time here then welcome.
0:45
But if you're a returning listener and or watcher then
0:49
welcome back. Y'all know here Danny to talk.
0:51
It's a conversational show all about fatherhood and family
0:55
manga, anime and gaming. So like I said, it's been a
1:02
couple of weeks, which it is kind of funny for me to say that
1:07
because something that I was doing months ago in preparation
1:13
of moments where I needed to take a break or life got busy,
1:16
whatever was I was recording stuff.
1:19
There's kind of standalone like you know different manga, anime,
1:22
TV show, movie reviews or whatever to like you know why if
1:25
I needed, if I need to be off a week, I can just upload this
1:28
whatever, but instead I uploaded nothing for the last two weeks
1:34
or not even upload because all the stuff is already upload.
1:36
I just needed to hit public, make them all public, whatever.
1:39
But it is what it is. You know, life happened, but I
1:44
hope everybody out there has been doing well, life has been
1:48
treating you well, hope you're safe, healthy, all that fun
1:52
stuff. I know it's a it's it's a lot of
1:55
crazy things going on out there in the world.
1:58
So I hope that you are happy and safe wherever you are.
2:03
So like I said for myself it has been a very busy last couple of
2:12
weeks and I'm going to continue to be busy for the weeks coming.
2:18
But I told myself like for sure today, if I didn't record
2:23
tonight then it probably be a little while longer because it's
2:28
not from just work and life being life being busy.
2:33
Also freaking Spider Man 2 and Mario Wonder if I can get my
2:42
switch turned on. Mario Wonder are both coming out
2:47
this week and I already have Mario Wonder pre installed on my
2:53
Switch and I already have Spider Man 2 preloaded on my PS5
3:04
because I made. I made an executive decision to
3:09
treat myself because like I said like like right now I work.
3:15
And for those who don't know or forgot or whatever, I work in IT
3:19
specifically in the medical field.
3:21
So I do a lot of the hardware and computer preparation for all
3:27
of the clinics and urgent cares across the Dallas Fort Worth
3:30
Metroplex, and there's about 300 something clinics and about a
3:36
dozen or two urgent cares, So hundreds and hundreds of devices
3:41
and stuff that I'm constantly prepping.
3:44
And so in a couple of weeks we have 5 to 6 new clinics.
3:52
Then we got to get set up and a few of them are some of the
3:55
biggest ones we've done in a while.
3:57
So some of them have like 50 to 60 computers a piece.
4:02
So I think, I think collectively, I think I have to
4:05
get like 150 or 160 all in I don't treat myself enough, so
4:24
I'm gonna treat myself now. And so I went and I bought at
4:28
1st. At first I was planning on going
4:29
to GameStop and getting, you know, pre orderly, pre ordering
4:33
them physically and then, you know, picking them up after work
4:37
Friday or whatever. And then just out of curiosity,
4:40
I took a look at my Switch or whatever, because Bash had it, I
4:42
think last time he was at his grandmother's or something,
4:45
whatever. Because I was like, you know,
4:46
where I got a old Switch game I haven't played really much that
4:50
I probably might maybe trade in or whatever popped open the top
4:54
of my Switch. The cartridge is missing.
4:56
And I'm like, I'm like, ain't no telling where that thing is.
5:01
And so I was like, you know what, I don't want to run the
5:03
risk, especially if like Mario, the new Mario game coming up
5:06
missing. So I was like, you know what,
5:07
I'll just buy digitally. So it's just always just on the
5:11
Switch. So Bash takes it with him
5:14
somewhere or whatever. I ain't got to worry about it
5:17
coming up missing or it's none of the cousins taking games and
5:20
all that stuff. Whatever.
5:21
So I went ahead and did that. Like I said, just did the same
5:24
thing for Spider Man 2. So.
5:26
So yeah, so little truth to myself.
5:29
And then more than likely, I think in a few weeks, once we
5:32
kind of get past all of these crazy things, whatever, it'll
5:39
work. I'm probably going to put in
5:41
some PTO and take a few days. It's not like a full week off or
5:46
whatever and just have some some Robert chill time to catch up on
5:49
rest and stuff, whatever. Because something that I
5:51
realized lately was that I took, I took a day off a couple
5:55
Fridays ago, but I but it it was just kind of like a reminder
5:59
that like, I don't consistently get good quality sleep enough to
6:06
where sometimes I have to take a day off of work.
6:09
I just use PTO just to catch up on rest because you know, life,
6:14
family, pets and stuff, whatever.
6:16
And so like, I don't really get consistently good sleep, which
6:22
you know, that just domino effects on my mind, body,
6:25
etcetera, etcetera. And so I'm like, man, this kind
6:28
of sucks. That's like every time I take a
6:30
day off or whatever, I'm just sleeping it away just to make up
6:34
for, you know, cuz it's like, OK, I took a day off when, you
6:39
know, now I didn't take the money off when the kids are out
6:42
of school. I'm like, no, I'm going to go to
6:43
work while y'all are home, but it's like, oh, Friday, business
6:47
as usual. All the kids going to school,
6:50
wife out working, hey, I'll take the day off so I can just be
6:53
home by myself. But but yeah, so got those games
6:58
coming out over there and I was like, I need to get something
7:00
recorded before then, whatever. Which of course I'll talk about
7:04
them in future episodes and stuff when I get back around to
7:08
it. But yeah, and so like I said,
7:11
big one big new thing that happened is we got a dog.
7:20
And those of you all watching the video version of the podcast
7:24
over on YouTube, yeah, I can see a picture of her.
7:27
Her name is Luna. She is I guess 12 weeks old now,
7:32
cuz we've had her for two weeks. So she's a 12 week old
7:35
Australian Shepherd puppy. Very cute.
7:42
But just being honest, this is not in the car, so just being
7:51
real. Your boy was not happy when when
7:56
my wife came home from a trip with the kids and stuff,
8:01
whatever, with the dog. Because I think if I remember
8:05
cricket, I think that they had spent the night out at her
8:08
sisters or something or whatever, because it was like a
8:10
homecoming game, football game back of her old school.
8:13
But I don't remember. But it was.
8:14
So she was gone. It was like a holiday weekend or
8:16
whatever for the kids. And so when they were coming
8:19
back that Sunday, she called and let me know like, hey, she's
8:23
bringing back. It was like one of the nieces
8:25
and nephews. I'm like, whatever, cool, you
8:29
know, It's kind of like, eh, because I'm like, this is my
8:31
weekend to chill. But I'm like, it is what it is,
8:33
a couple more kids, whatever. So then she walks in the door
8:38
and she has, like, I'm going to use this, this shirt as an
8:45
example. So she kind of had like a
8:47
blanket over her shoulder or whatever.
8:49
And I'm thinking it was like one of the kids, like one of the
8:51
nieces or nephews, you know, on her shoulder or whatever.
8:54
You know, I'm laying in bed. She walks in the room.
8:57
All the kids pour into my room. They're all smiling, giggling or
9:01
whatever. I'm like, what?
9:03
And she takes it off and I see something fluffy and I'm like,
9:08
what is that? And the kids, like, we got a
9:12
puppy. Somebody gave on me a puppy.
9:14
And like I said, this is Robert on in super tired mode.
9:23
So, you know, not in the best of moods.
9:27
And so I am just laying there looking puzzled, and I and then
9:32
I'm just like everybody bring mommy out the room.
9:40
And yeah, so I admittedly I went off for a good little while,
9:45
whatever. But of course the the the dog,
9:50
Luna. She hopped in the bed and began
9:54
snuggling up next to me, whatever, trying to win me over.
9:57
And I'm like, Lord, and then love it later on.
10:02
If you all went outside walking around or whatever, like it kind
10:05
of get, you know, used to things, whatever.
10:07
And that's where this one picture of her by my feet while
10:12
I was standing or whatever, and she was like running around the
10:14
kids and she came around by next to me just like plopped down.
10:18
And so I'm like, OK, but I made it very clear I was like, hey to
10:24
the kids. I'm like, hey y'all, if y'all
10:26
want the dog, y'all are going to be responsible for, you know,
10:30
eat no feeding and water and cleaning up and walks and all
10:35
that stuff. Whatever I said because that's
10:38
not going to be on me now. I will help.
10:40
I'm not going to leave y'all high and dry, but you know, so
10:44
we kind of had to lay lay some ground rules or whatever.
10:46
So, but, but yeah, 'cause it was just like, I think my wife said
10:49
it was just like some guy and kind of in the neighborhood or
10:51
whatever, when they would came back home, they was just giving
10:55
her away for free. You know had the paperwork and
10:57
everything, whatever, shot records, all this stuff,
10:59
whatever. So it was all cool and legit.
11:00
But I was like, OK, cool. So right, free dog.
11:07
But but yeah, son, it's been kind of a learning curve.
11:11
Of course she's already chewed up a couple of things here and
11:14
there that the kids have left laying around.
11:15
But but overall she's she's a she's a she's a cool dog and and
11:22
everybody she meets loves her. Like all the kids outside when
11:25
they in the in the neighborhood would ever love her.
11:28
When my when my wife took her with her to her sister house and
11:31
to her mom's house whatever over the weekend people trying to
11:35
keep her but like hey if if if if y'all, if y'all end up, you
11:39
know not one or whatever, I'll take her whatever.
11:42
So we immediately getting offers and stuff for the dog.
11:45
So but yeah so we got Luna. She's part of the family now, so
11:51
five kids, a cat and a dog. That is my life as a dad.
11:57
But Oh yeah, so that happened though she she briefly for like
12:03
a couple of hours. She was temporarily named Luffy.
12:08
My middle son, who I've had on the show before that, he's the
12:11
one that watches anime and stuff, whatever, out of the
12:14
bunch or heavily watches it I should say.
12:17
And so he had the one that has suggested the name Luffy.
12:20
And I'm like, wow, on one hand, I appreciate it, but the other
12:24
part of me was like, I can't, I can't name a girl or dog Luffy.
12:28
You know, just on some principle.
12:32
I was like, I was like, man, if if it was a boy, maybe.
12:35
But I was like, Nah, we gotta find a different name or
12:38
whatever. So, so yeah.
12:40
So we ended up come up coming coming to the consensus on Luna
12:44
which kind of matches that because on the back of her head
12:47
she has like a white patcha furnace kind of like over like
12:49
feel like like like the middle of the back of her head down
12:52
like her back and it kind of like curves a little bit.
12:55
So kind of kind of like like a like a maybe like a semi moon
12:58
ish looking design or whatever. So they knew.
13:03
So yeah so new dog. Yay.
13:07
But but like I said we're we're we're trying to make it work and
13:10
stuff whatever going to get her trying to get her trained and
13:12
stuff whatever. So but yeah, so so yeah.
13:17
So like I said, kind of wanted just to touch on a few things.
13:20
I'm not going to go hopefully too, too long today, whatever,
13:23
because I am tired and I'm on. I'm running off of Nyquil and a
13:30
Hershey kiss and stuff. So but but yeah so I I've I've
13:38
got a chance to kind of watch some pretty interesting stuff
13:42
lately that I kind of wanted to share and talk about.
13:46
There is something in particular that I'm I'm gonna mention but I
13:49
probably would like a separate thing for when I get to it in a
13:52
little bit. But let me see real quick.
14:01
Yeah. So I guess I guess very brief I
14:04
guess I'll just get some quick like game stuff out the way
14:07
whatever really quickly right before I dive into the main
14:09
topic with the shows and movies or whatever.
14:12
But but gaming wise, I on a whim, randomly, I started
14:20
playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake last week.
14:24
Whatever. And I made it to Chapter 4.
14:26
So far, I don't know. I was, I was just kind of just
14:29
sitting around the house and just kind of like thinking
14:33
about, man, I wasn't like in the mood to like you know, watch or
14:36
read nothing or whatever. And so I'm kind of just like
14:38
scrolling through all the games I got or whatever.
14:40
And I was like, I was like look through my, my PlayStation Plus
14:45
catalog like stuff like games that I've gotten for free
14:47
through the subscription or whatever over the years.
14:50
And Final Fantasy 7 Remake was there.
14:52
And I was like, you know, after seeing like some little bit of
14:57
stuff for this, for the next One Rebirth that's coming in
14:59
January, I was like, you know what, I've never really gotten
15:03
into a really played, played a Final Fantasy game, whatever.
15:07
Shout out to my friend Bree. You know, that's because I've
15:10
got to work watching her play. It was 13 back when we were in
15:14
college and stuff, but I've never really played it myself.
15:18
And so I was like, you know what?
15:20
Why not? Let's give it a shot.
15:23
And I got to say, like, though, that like opening hour or so,
15:29
whatever, super strong from like a visual presentation standpoint
15:36
to just like the fun Ness of just like the combat and using
15:39
the spells and stuff, whatever. It was super dope.
15:42
I cannot lie. I was like immediately hooked.
15:45
I was like, yo, But then things slow down when you kind of get
15:49
to like the little the town and you're kind of like doing like
15:54
like random little side missions and stuff, whatever.
15:56
That part I didn't really like, 'cause I'm like, man, 'cause
15:58
like the like the quad, like the visual quality stuff that was
16:03
kind of like down a bit or whatever.
16:06
But everything I saw that little, that little town hub
16:09
town thing, whatever, it was super dope.
16:11
Like I love just like walking through the streets after you
16:15
know, y'all blow up that first kind of reactor thing, whatever.
16:17
And navigating all that stuff like Oh no, it it was really
16:21
dope on my thing. I made it, know what I mean?
16:22
I've made it. So I think Chapter 4 so far.
16:25
So I started up the next kind of mission.
16:28
So I just did like a like a high speed motorcycle chase thing,
16:32
whatever. So, but yeah, so that that's
16:34
when I kind of hope I can maybe kind of like keep chipping away
16:37
at it, chipping away at in the background or whatever.
16:41
But yeah, but I am. I was like pleasantly surprised
16:44
like how much I was enjoying playing it or whatever.
16:47
So so yeah, so shout out to Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
16:51
Super dope, one of them. Just kind of just want to shout
16:54
out to him. In honor of Spider Man 2 coming
16:57
out in a couple of days, I have re downloaded Miles Morales on
17:02
my PS5 just because I was like, you know what?
17:05
I just want to swing around, just move around or just just
17:09
get like a little bit of, you know, feel with the controller
17:13
again, being in this world and stuff.
17:15
And so I was sitting there playing through it or whatever,
17:20
or, you know, just kind of really just swinging around and
17:23
then Bash was sitting next to me, watch me, whatever.
17:25
And I was like, you know what? Hey, do you want to try?
17:29
He was like, yeah. And so I gave me the control or
17:31
whatever. And we're showing him, like he
17:34
started off with doing like the the it's L2 and R2 that lets you
17:40
kind of like zip to a like a like a light pole or something
17:46
to perch upon or whatever. And so he learned that.
17:49
So he was just kind of just like zipping around from point to
17:52
point, just like you like zip around, sit, zip around, sit.
17:58
And then eventually I kind of started teaching him a little
18:01
bit like, OK, hey, this is how you do fight bad guys and
18:05
actually like like fully swinging through the city or
18:07
whatever. So that that was just a very fun
18:10
thing just to kind of share and do with him because something,
18:18
something that kind of came to mind just with with this
18:23
combination of Spider Man 2 and Mario, Super Mario Brothers
18:27
Wonder coming out, it made me think about like my connection
18:32
with my son Vash and those two series because.
18:38
And I probably thought that I've talked about it before,
18:40
especially on that episode I think I did of the parents,
18:44
Ragnarok, my God of War, Ragnarok fatherhood thing I did
18:48
or whatever. But basically in the days and
18:54
weeks leading up to Vash being born in 2017, that was when the
19:00
trifecta of Assassin's Creed Origins, Wolfenstein 2, New
19:05
Colossus and Mario Odyssey all came out on the same day or like
19:10
the same day or whatever. And so I Remember Me and my wife
19:14
were playing through Mario Odyssey in the hospital when she
19:19
was, you know, waiting to give birth and stuff, whatever.
19:21
And then like those, no, those early days and weeks and months
19:26
of Bash being born. I was playing Mario Odyssey and
19:29
stuff. And then the following year,
19:33
when Bash was about one or about to turn 1, Spider Man 2018 came
19:38
out. And then Miles Morales and the
19:43
PS5 launch happened when Bash was 3.
19:47
And so now here we are with Vash about to be 6 in a couple of
19:51
months, or shoot actually in a in a few weeks, in a few weeks
19:57
or whatever. Now we have both Spider Man 2
20:00
and Mario Wonder, and I'm excited for both, especially for
20:05
Mario Wonder. And also shout out to to Sonic
20:09
Superstars, but with Mario Wonder.
20:13
Been able to play Co-op with him and stuff whatever.
20:16
I think that'd be super dope because he he's been loving
20:20
having fun me playing Co-op with him as we we've been playing
20:23
through a SAC boys big adventure still we've you know been doing
20:27
like the big boss fights and different challenges and stuff
20:29
so it's been like super doping just awesome gaming and father
20:34
and son memories I'm bearing in heaven with him so so that's
20:38
kind of like like another very dope connection with those two
20:41
series that I have with my son over the course of from his
20:47
birth through is you know now about to be 6 or whatever.
20:50
So very, very dope, unless I look forward to playing and
20:53
hopefully dab in both of these over the next few days.
20:57
But yeah, and I guess just some quick news things I just wanted
21:01
to shout out over there because Speaking of Mario, they reveal
21:05
the new voice actor from Mario, I think his name is Kevin Afgani
21:14
say. So they officially announced
21:16
that he is going to be the the new voice for Mario and Luigi,
21:22
at least in Mario Wonder. So I thought that that was just
21:25
very dope to kind of like see OK, the passing of the torch to
21:29
this new person who's going to potentially carry this franchise
21:32
forward. So shout out to him and just a
21:37
couple of those just quick things whatever.
21:39
Finally after things been like over a year maybe two years the
21:43
deal is done. Xbox slash Microsoft now for the
21:49
owns ABK. Activision Blizzard, King And so
21:54
you know a lot of people are like OK finally, you know, just
21:59
cuz like cuz you know there's been so many, you know new
22:01
stories and stuff over the years and and all this stuff, man.
22:06
So it's kind of nice to finally have all of this stuff just kind
22:11
of put behind us finally. Let me see.
22:17
So yeah so now you know Call of Duty and Diablo and World of
22:22
Warcraft and Crash Bandicoot and Spyro and StarCraft.
22:27
Candy Crush, Overwatch, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, all that stuff
22:32
is now under the OR now all in the Xbox Microsoft family.
22:39
So which would be very interesting to see how this all
22:43
does going forward. But yeah but so the deal is done
22:48
so we'll see where things kind of go from here.
22:51
But like I said just wanted to just to mention that in passing
22:54
whatever. And the last thing in pass I
22:56
just want to mention is that they revealed finally after it's
23:00
been rumored for over a year now the pretty much the the
23:04
PlayStation 5 slim models. So they're doing pretty it's
23:10
it's technically pretty much one model but they're going to sell
23:13
it in two skews. It's still going to be the
23:14
digital one, which they're raising the price up from 400 to
23:19
449. And so now it's the the box is
23:25
smaller but also it's more modular to where now they have
23:30
it to where you can add in a Blu-ray drive that you can buy
23:35
separately to where if if you decide to get just the digital
23:38
version only at 1st and then you decide later on, like you know
23:41
what I actually do want to be able to play physical disc, you
23:44
can buy this disk drive separately, whatever, slide off
23:48
the bottom panel, slap on this new thing, whatever and it
23:52
becomes a physical console whatever.
23:54
And this will pretty much be the standard PS5 going forward.
23:58
So what's the original models that are in stores now sell out
24:03
in there and or out of stock then that's going to be it for
24:07
the original PS5 models and and it's just going to be the slim
24:10
model as the baseline going forward.
24:13
Now I don't really care about this one too much either way or
24:17
whatever, but along in that same rumor that's been going on for a
24:22
while that this model has come as that there's potentially next
24:26
year maybe also going to be APS 5 Pro model, which if there is,
24:33
I'll probably be good picking that up whatever and then giving
24:37
my kids my current PS Five or whatever.
24:40
So because also next year we're expecting to get the successor
24:44
to the Nintendo Switch, so the Switch to Super Switch, whatever
24:48
they're going to call it, So that'll be on the horizon as
24:51
well. So very exciting times as a tech
24:55
and gaming hardware person. So yeah so like I said you just
25:00
wanted to shout out those couple of things gaming news wise or
25:04
whatever now couple things I wanted to touch on.
25:10
So and and and I guess kind of in a way before I dive into
25:15
these two things, whatever comes just like make made me think
25:17
about the topic of supporting or having people with you to
25:22
support your dreams or or you supporting somebody's dreams and
25:26
goals and stuff. Just because I feel like like
25:30
looking back on the different things I've done over my life,
25:35
whether it be personal stuff or or work and career wise stuff,
25:39
whatever. There's lots of people I can
25:41
look back on and think along the way that helped me get to these
25:46
different places and different points I've been on or whatever.
25:50
And even like with my kids and things that they're doing with
25:53
their sports and stuff like that or whatever, to where I want to
25:56
try to, you know, be supportive and and basically provide the
26:02
tools to help them try to chase their dreams and stuff and to
26:08
try to be the best they can be at whatever they want to do.
26:12
Just because it's like, you know, don't know how far or how
26:19
long they'll continue doing these different things or
26:21
whatever. But it's like, well, hey, I
26:23
don't want if possible, you know, when it's all said and
26:29
done, regardless of if it's like, OK, hey, they only play
26:32
through high school. Next year they go to college,
26:34
GoPro, whatever. I hope that when they look back
26:38
at me and my wife, me and their mom as parents, that they be
26:43
like, you know what? I was able to give it my all
26:47
because of the support that my parents gave us.
26:52
And so that's all that I hope for because it's like, hey, you
26:56
know, it's like I tell my kids sometimes I'm like, hey, y'all
26:59
have so many more opportunities and tools and access to things
27:05
and opportunities that a lot of people don't have.
27:08
It's like, you know, for as much as I love playing basketball,
27:11
doing sports, whatever, growing up, whatever, like, you know, I
27:15
just did the bare minimum stuff at school And granted, yes, you
27:17
know, this was, you know, the early 2000s and stuff, whatever.
27:21
And you know, I was in a small country town.
27:23
So it's different. Not like it is now, you know 20
27:26
years later live in a big city, Metroplex, whatever.
27:29
But still it's like, OK, I'm, I'm fortunate enough to be able
27:33
to financially provide and also being able being able to
27:39
maneuver and go to all these different things, whatever, to
27:41
help put them in the best position.
27:43
It's just kind of in there. From there it's on them to put
27:46
in the work and stuff to realize hey, you can't say you ain't got
27:50
the opportunity to wear like hey Yuki, I got coaches and special
27:53
trainers and Y'all doing special tryouts and different things or
27:57
whatever. It's like y'all got the
27:58
opportunities. Now it's up to y'all to go out
28:01
and actually execute on the plan.
28:04
So, so yeah. So that kind of brings me to the
28:07
first thing I wanted to touch on, which is Blue Giant.
28:13
Now let me get this pulled up. Cuz Blue Giant is a series that
28:24
I have been wanting to check out pretty much since the time I
28:30
started doing this podcast. Because every time I go in the
28:35
store, I would always see those very awesome covers and volumes
28:42
for the Blue Giant manga. And so I kept on saying like
28:45
someday, someday, someday I'm gonna, I'm gonna get it, I'm
28:48
gonna check it out or whatever. And then last year they
28:50
announced like, hey, they're doing a blue giant movie.
28:54
And so I'm like, OK, perfect. That would be dope.
28:57
And so I almost missed it and I almost gave up the opportunity
29:06
to see it because so this happened last weekend.
29:11
And first of all, I almost forgot that it was coming out
29:14
because. And it sucks because they only
29:17
put this movie in theaters for two days.
29:20
On it was, what was it, 2 days? It was on October 8th and 9th.
29:30
And it was only. So not only was it just two
29:32
days, but it was only one Showtime, regardless of theater
29:37
per day. So it was like Sunday was 4:00
29:42
no matter what theater you looked at.
29:44
Four o'clock, 4:00 PM, That's it.
29:46
And then the following day on Monday, on that Monday, I think
29:50
it was 7:00 PM, if I remember quickly, regardless of wherever
29:54
you look at. And So what happened was that
29:57
was the weekend. I had took off that Friday on
29:59
the 6th of work to kind of catch my rest.
30:02
And so I messed around and I took a nap that Sunday and I
30:07
woke up at like almost 5:00, so already an hour past the
30:11
Showtime. And I was so sad.
30:14
I was so bummed because I'm like, man, I almost miss seeing
30:20
getting a chance to buy tickets to this movie or whatever
30:22
because luckily I saw a random tweet that was like, hey, in
30:25
theaters this weekend. 2 days only.
30:27
I'm like wait, what? So I bought my ticket or
30:29
whatever, but I slipped, freaking slept through the first
30:31
showing and y'all. I was so bummed.
30:34
I was so down. And then I was like, man, well
30:38
there is one more tomorrow, but I'm like, I'm but I'm so
30:40
freaking tired and duh, duh, duh duh.
30:43
And then shout out to my wife. She pushed me.
30:45
She was like, no, babe, I know how much you've been wanting to
30:49
go and watch this movie. Whatever.
30:51
Hey, I'll take care of whatever stuff around the house,
30:53
whatever. You go and see your movie.
30:56
And I am so happy that I took that step forward and I actually
31:02
did go and see it. So now for those of y'all at me
31:05
talking all the time, who are like, Robert, what is Blue
31:08
Giant? So Blue Giant is a series that
31:12
follows a young man named Dai Miyamoto who loves playing the
31:21
saxophone and loves jazz music and it basically just kind of
31:25
follows his journey and trying to become a well known jazz
31:33
musician. And so the movie, I think the
31:37
movie is like a little over 2 hours I believe.
31:40
And y'all if if if this movie ever comes out on streaming
31:44
services, I'll be championing it again.
31:48
But if if you have some way to go and see the movie or
31:51
whatever, then check it out. Whether it be when it hopefully
31:54
releases on DVD, Blu-ray or whatever, or like going on
31:57
streaming services at some point.
32:00
Because I did not expect this movie to hit me in my heart and
32:07
my emotions the way it did because like not since the Kids
32:13
on the Slope TV series, which is also a city surrounded around
32:16
music kind of jazzy tunes or whatever that I love to death
32:21
that shout out to to religiously nerdy.
32:24
We did an episode last summer revisiting Kids on the Slope for
32:30
its 1010 year anniversary last year but by also blue giant
32:34
y'all. Like I think.
32:38
I think it was a it was a mixture of things because it is
32:42
such a such a relatable story of seeing this character who is
32:48
going above and beyond, even if nobody else has his back, nobody
32:52
else believes in him, which there were people who definitely
32:55
did. But seeing him go out and
32:59
practice every day to where he would just go out, it's like a
33:02
park. Or he'll go out, practice on the
33:04
side of the side of the side of a river, under the giant, you
33:10
know, overpass bridge or whatever, And he would just play
33:13
music to it, to the void, just to practice, just to get better,
33:18
just to hone his skills and just seeing that passion he has for
33:24
his craft and for the music, It just like hit me in such a way.
33:28
And of course, like I say, it's jazz music.
33:31
Like like, I can't even imagine. Like like I've I know some parts
33:38
of reading it or whatever might hit, but man actually being able
33:43
to hear the music in this just kind of take it to a heart of
33:48
the level as well as like the just just the overall production
33:52
standards. Because let me see, Studio Nut
33:59
was the main studio who worked on this, who also did shout out
34:07
to Deca Dance they did that. But Saga of Tanya the evil, oh
34:14
that's not that's that's not the main thing that they've done
34:15
anime wise. But I know also one of like the
34:20
producers or something from Mob Cycle 100 or directors or
34:24
something from that also worked on it.
34:27
So it had like a pretty dope cast that worked on or or
34:32
production crew that worked on this.
34:34
Whatever. But but yeah.
34:37
And so it comes to, like I said, follows down on his journey.
34:39
He ends up, you know, getting a drummer who is like a good
34:45
friend of his and then meeting this kind of like piano proto
34:48
Jane. So they and them kind of forming
34:49
a band together. But certain things just happened
34:53
throughout. This happened throughout this
34:54
movie that just, like hit me so deeply in my core to where like
35:01
there was someone who's like early on in the movie where I
35:03
was kind of like tearing up a little bit.
35:05
But man, they're like a mom. They're like pretty much
35:07
something like that final, like final portion of the movie.
35:14
I was just like, damn, they're bawling my eyes out the whole
35:18
time. Like I had to take off my
35:20
glasses several times and I'm just like, I wasn't going that
35:23
hard, but I'm just like just sniffling, sniffling and stuff.
35:27
Whatever. Luckily I had some, I got some
35:30
napkins where because, you know, I had to, you know, wipe my face
35:33
down like it like it was hitting, hitting something
35:37
fierce. But I truly loved it.
35:40
And like I said, just like afterwards I was sitting there
35:43
and I was like, yo, I am so, so grateful that I went and saw
35:49
this movie because it was one that definitely needed to be
35:54
seen and needed to be experienced.
35:56
So like I said, I don't want to just go too deep inside the
35:59
actual story beats whatever. But but I said definitely
36:03
something. I definitely work.
36:05
Highly recommend if you ever get a chance to check out Blue
36:08
Giants, please do because that movie was fantastic from start
36:13
to finish. And like I said I just love
36:15
seeing Die and the Homies going on going on their journey and
36:20
stuff and and I kind of love how because I can't remember what
36:25
what other series was it that I had oh oh she know Cole did this
36:29
too. It's where they kind of had
36:31
like, a kind of, like, like documentary style.
36:34
That's where they talk to people in the present day about kind of
36:39
like, kind of like recounting or rethinking back to certain
36:42
points of time, certain moments where I've been like, yeah, man,
36:45
yeah, I was in the band with Die back then and we all kind of
36:48
knew, you know, that he was going to be, you know, something
36:51
special or whatever. Or, you know, or the old lady
36:54
that that they were kind of like practicing at her bar or
36:58
whatever that she'd be like. Yeah, you know, yeah, those
37:00
guys, I let them come in and practice or whatever.
37:04
I'm just kind of get in like a safe space, whatever.
37:06
And you know, I just love seeing their growth and development and
37:09
stuff, whatever. So I really loved that stretch
37:12
of the movie of kind of every now and then kind of seeing
37:14
somebody in the present day and then kind of reflecting on stuff
37:19
from back then and man, like that that final performance that
37:26
they gave. But yeah, that that final
37:31
performance, man. And like the whole situation
37:37
surrounding that and and I gotta just say real quick, I, I, I
37:43
kind of don't want to talk about it, 'cause it's spoiled or
37:45
whatever. But I, I, I guess I'll just say
37:49
the big incident, the big incident that happens.
37:54
My jaw dropped. The theater went silent when
37:58
that moment happened. And then seeing how die them
38:05
move forward with the performance and stuff and then
38:12
the awkward moment and it was like yo, because and and and and
38:18
and I felt the dude and I'm like, I'm talking as vague as I
38:21
can but I felt him. So I was like, yo, things
38:24
happen, but hey, I got to play because this is going to be our
38:31
final performance as a group, because we know Die is about to
38:37
explode. He's about to know his
38:40
trajectory, career, about to go to the moon.
38:43
So hey, I want to be part of this moment, this performance,
38:48
and just seeing just the passion, man.
38:51
It was just, it was just so good man.
38:54
And like I'm talking very vague because I want y'all, if y'all
38:58
haven't gotten to see the movie, to go see it, to check it out
39:02
when you can. And they come back and talk to
39:05
me about this because it's like it was just so good, like it's
39:09
just such a hard hitting finale final moments order for that
39:12
movie. So but yeah, so shout out to
39:15
Blue Giant like I said it was. It was truly something
39:18
phenomenal, something I would definitely remember like sit up
39:21
there up there with kids on the slope as far as like impact and
39:25
like great music anime. So something else that I decided
39:32
to check out just out of curiosity because I love, love,
39:38
loved Adventure Time back in the day.
39:41
So when I heard that there was a that there was going to be a
39:45
Fiona and cake spin off series, I was like you know what, I'll
39:51
check this out, see what this is, whatever.
39:53
And this ended up being way more then I thought it would be going
39:59
into it or whatever, because I'm just saying, hey, maybe I just
40:04
missed it in the marketing because I do my best to try not
40:07
to get overwhelmed or bogged down watching a million trailers
40:11
and articles and all this stuff, whatever for stuff that I'm
40:16
interested in or whatever, just because it's like man, like
40:20
games and movies and everything spoils too much.
40:23
Heck. When I was watching some of the
40:25
some of the homies Twitch streams earlier, whatever.
40:30
When the ads ran, freaking spider man. 2 trailers popping
40:34
up and I'm like, no, I've done good avoiding, avoiding a lot of
40:40
videos and stuff, whatever. Even though I've got a spoiler,
40:43
a couple of things, whatever. Because I'm like, God, I'll get
40:45
screenshots and then like see like the trailer and stuff
40:47
popping up or the ads and stuff. But I didn't realize going into
40:54
it, this is literally, this isn't just a spin off, this is
40:59
literally a sequel series to Adventure Time.
41:03
Because this literally takes place after where Adventure Time
41:08
ended. And you literally get to see
41:11
those characters, some of them older and different situations
41:16
going on or whatever. And I thought that that was like
41:18
super dope because like I said, I just thought that OK, we're
41:21
just going to you know follow Fiona and Cake and you know,
41:26
there might be like some references or something,
41:28
whatever to it. But hey, this is going to be a
41:30
song separate thing. As I knew this is fully tied
41:33
into at Adventure Time, we freaking see older Finn and Jake
41:37
and all these different things and we even see those the two
41:43
characters that we saw at the end of Adventure Time, whatever,
41:46
where they kind of like time skipped forward and be kind of
41:49
like rabbit looking kid or whatever.
41:52
So but yeah, so that was super dope and like I said, I don't, I
41:56
don't have like too much in depth stuff to say about this.
41:59
Whatever. Because like I said, if if
42:01
you're a fan of Adventure Time, then it's definitely something
42:04
that you're going to want to watch.
42:05
Because I just wanted to shut it out because like I said, this
42:08
ended up being way more than like I said, I thought it was
42:11
going to be going into it. Like I said, I just didn't know.
42:17
But but it was super dope on this eight episodes, I think
42:21
10-8 or ten. Let me double check, OK.
42:27
It's 10 episodes and the and they're the standard 24 minutes
42:31
long. Speaking of which, I I I I I
42:34
think I never, I never finished watching all of those kind of
42:37
like Adventure Time and BMO spin off specials when I watch maybe
42:41
like one or two, 1, 1/2, I need to go back and circulate to
42:45
those two, whatever. But it just felt so cool being
42:50
back in this world with these characters and stuff, whatever,
42:54
and just seeing them go even deeper with the story and the
42:59
lore of oh, and all this other stuff, whatever.
43:03
Because I've talked about before how you know Adventure Time at
43:07
first, you know? And for a good chunk of it, I
43:11
feel like it was just or it it seemed like just a bunch of, you
43:17
know, random adventures and wacky hijinks or whatever going
43:21
on. And then they started sprinkling
43:25
and then more frequently having actual story beats and
43:31
connecting moments and connecting episodes and stuff,
43:35
whatever. So it was like, oh wait, OK, we
43:37
continuing the the plot from last episode.
43:39
It's not just that was some random adventure and then on to
43:41
another thing. Next episode was.
43:43
I know these episodes are literally connected.
43:45
Hey this one ended on my cliffhanger next episode from
43:49
there whatever. So but yes I knew Fiona and
43:52
cake. Highly recommend you or y'all
43:56
check it out. Last thing or sure I kind of
44:00
want to shout out real quick so couple things I just like to
44:04
just quick shout out and pass and whatever.
44:07
Gen. V yo-yo, that show is insane.
44:13
So for those who don't know, Gen.
44:15
V is the kind of spin off series from the boys that's on Amazon
44:20
Prime now from what I understand in this this show, right it is
44:25
right now. It takes place between what
44:28
happened at the end of the previous season of the boys and
44:30
then the up comes I guess 3rd and 4th season between them if
44:35
I'm if I'm remembering correctly.
44:37
But y'all Gen. V that like, I I I already
44:48
suspected that things were going to be wild just because of hey
44:55
it's like the boys. But man I the way this show
45:05
kicks off and I guess pretty much it, it's it's kind of
45:08
sudden in like like like a college settings where these are
45:11
kind of like young and upcoming potential heroes and stuff
45:16
whatever. And so but man just like out the
45:20
gate like within like the first like 3 minutes or less my jaw
45:25
was on the floor because of how this main girl how she how she
45:30
learned that she had powers was absolutely that this.
45:36
I feel like this is probably crazier then then when a train
45:45
ran through that girl in the first episode of of of the boys
45:49
in season one. Because I feel like after all
45:52
the stuff I've seen in all the seasons of the boys, the fact
45:55
that this moment with this girl's powers revealed still
46:03
made me gasp and my jaw dropped. I was like OK yeah they they
46:07
still got and it's been like crazy mama's like that the whole
46:09
way through so like such we just wanted to shut that out really
46:12
quickly But yeah so Gen. V check that out.
46:15
Like especially if you like the boys it is a must watch.
46:20
Now this next show is the one I said I'm going to do a separate
46:24
thing for eventually but just want to shut it out.
46:27
It's called Mayor of Kingstown. Now I had never really heard of
46:33
this show, probably because it's on Paramount plus, but this
46:41
show, this show, this show, this show.
46:44
So one of the main characters is Jeremy Renner AKA Hawkeye from
46:48
Marvel and Aiden Gillian who who plays Milo, who a lot of y'all
47:00
might know as Littlefinger in Game of Thrones.
47:03
So if you know, if you know what type of time he owned in Game of
47:06
Thrones, imagine him being basically kind of like like it
47:11
like it big, kind of like gang affiliated mafia boss that runs
47:23
things from prison. So pretty much Jeremy Renner's
47:26
character is this guy who is kind of like the unofficial
47:30
official mayor of the town of Kingstown.
47:34
Because even though he's not the official, you know, political
47:37
mayor, everybody kind of comes to him, both police St. thugs,
47:44
people in the prison, whatever come to him as kind of like the
47:47
guy that's going to get the job done, the problem solver.
47:51
And this show was like so, so good.
47:54
Like I pretty much gave up watching most of the things
47:58
whatever all weekend just to binge watch all 12, all two
48:02
seasons or both seasons which are 20 episodes total and they
48:08
average from you know 4045 minutes to an hour apiece.
48:13
So I probably gave up like 15 hours of my weekend, but
48:18
definitely super worthy. Like I said I'm I'm I'm a touch
48:21
on more this in a in a review by itself whatever.
48:25
But man, that show is super good and definitely worth checking
48:31
out. Like see if if you like stuff
48:32
kind of like kind of like in the vein of like The Wire almost,
48:38
but maybe even more corrupt cop and well, he's not even really a
48:44
cop, but kind of like a corrupt dude that Jeremy Renner plays.
48:48
Whatever the hey, you definitely might want to check this out.
48:52
So now, aside from that, you know I've still been, you know,
48:58
checking out the the new anime for the springs for the summer
49:03
for the fall season, the Nyquil is kicking in.
49:08
Checking out stuff for that season has been going good.
49:11
I still need to go back and go back and wrap up stuff for the
49:15
summer so I can talk about that as well in the future episode.
49:18
And hopefully I hope I can finally get to get to read this
49:22
spider Man fake red manga I had picked up that I was hoping to
49:28
have already read by now. But hey, life happens.
49:31
But looking forward to hopefully getting get reading it maybe
49:36
tomorrow to have it up by the end of the week.
49:38
So but yeah, I'm trying to think manga wise because I haven't
49:46
really got to read too much lately.
49:50
Caught up on shojo? No, but that's only like 6-8 to
49:55
8 chapters out right now. Whatever.
49:57
So caught up on that. It's a lot of stuff I've been
50:03
waiting for, like the right move to strike, to bend free 'cause
50:06
like I'm so far behind on I thought about it before I'm dead
50:10
on luck and shoot. What is that show called?
50:17
My home hero, 'cause I saw Knox posting some screenshots and
50:22
some stuff going on right now and then I'm like, Dang Ranger
50:27
reject or go go to the Ranger man.
50:30
Ready to get back on that? My Hero Academia manga turning
50:34
up, some crazy stuff going on, and I saw certain character's
50:38
name trending and I'm like, oh, is that for the good or the bad?
50:42
But we'll see. And One Piece going crazy as
50:47
well. We are, or we pretty much just
50:52
started a God Valley flashback while we at Egghead, and that's
51:00
all I'm gonna say on that. But we we we we're in God Valley
51:03
now. So very excited to get more
51:06
flashbacks on that situation that's going on with Kuma and
51:10
all that stuff, man. Real good stuff.
51:16
But yeah, but I think that might be as far as I still want to
51:20
talk about today. Let me just double check.
51:24
All right. Yeah, that's pretty much going
51:25
to do it. For that.
51:26
I don't want to try to force anymore whatever Cox it is.
51:29
And I quit, about to take over my visit, hop off of here and
51:32
shower and keep my butt in the bed and unwind.
51:37
But bear, as always, thank y'all so much for watching and or
51:41
listening. As always, you can find me
51:44
everywhere at Danny's talk. Thank y'all so much for the
51:47
continued support even in my brief absence for a couple of
51:51
weeks. Like I said, I'm looking forward
51:53
to freaking Spider Man and and Mario Wonder, so hopefully the
51:57
next time at least the next current Pockets episode assuming
52:01
I don't release some more pre recorded stuff.
52:04
Whatever. But before then but but yeah I
52:07
will be sharing thoughts on Spider Man and Mario Wonder and
52:10
the future along with a bunch of other stuff that's going on and
52:14
likes. I'm still planning on doing the,
52:16
you know, fall Recommendations episode and then looking back on
52:20
summer anime and stuff as well. So lots of stuff to talk about,
52:23
lots of stuff to do. But I'll first get out of here
52:28
and just ending with this. As always, treat yourself to
52:32
something nice. I definitely did Read some
52:35
