What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's
0:06
Talk. I'm your host Robert and today,
0:10
today it is Christmas when I'm recording this and so kind of
0:16
made me want to talk about I guess the kind of idea of
0:23
waiting to consume certain things.
0:27
But before I get into all that, as always if this is your first
0:30
time here then welcome, but if you're a returning listener and
0:34
or watcher then welcome back. Y'all know here at Danny's to
0:38
talk it's all about fatherhood and family manga, anime, TV and
0:42
video games. So like I said, I'm recording
0:46
this on Christmas Day while my wife and kids are out of the
0:51
house for a few hours. This is how I'm choosing to
0:57
spend my quiet time talking to Y'all.
1:02
Hopefully with that interruption is that I'm looking at my phone
1:04
over there. Probably bring some time during
1:06
this recording, but but yeah, I hope everybody out there is
1:11
doing well. If you celebrate Christmas,
1:14
Merry Christmas to you or whatever holiday it may be.
1:19
And if not, I hope that you're at least able to get some
1:24
relaxing time, whether it be with family and friends or
1:28
whether you're just taking some time to yourself.
1:30
I hope you're out there doing well.
1:36
As for myself, today has been pretty good.
1:41
For the first time since me and my since me and my wife have
1:45
been together, we pretty much celebrated Christmas in our own
1:51
home for the first time, because most of the years prior we've
1:58
always done it at her grandmother's house.
2:01
And so it's usually been like, hey, we could have Christmas
2:03
morning, but, you know, we're traveling out to where she lives
2:09
and doing all the gifts and dinner and stuff there.
2:11
But this year, a mixture of things happened that kind of led
2:17
to this, whatever. But we kind of decided, like,
2:18
you know what, Let's just do some stuff at our house and
2:23
then, you know, do other things afterwards.
2:26
And that's what we did. So my wife made a fantastic
2:32
dinner. She knocked out of the ballpark.
2:35
She made some, I want to say, like like a slightly lemon,
2:42
pepper glazed Turkey. So good brown sugar, ham, some
2:49
Mac and cheese, some yams, the yams and what else, some, some
3:00
scalloped potatoes. And I feel like I want some
3:04
dressing. All great, super good.
3:09
Like I I knew from the time when I went to go cut the Turkey and
3:14
just slid just right in, just nice and smooth.
3:17
I was like, oh boy, it's about to be good.
3:22
And it was. So we all had a great day, just
3:26
eating. Kids opened up a few of their
3:29
gifts that they got. Got some other stuff that's
3:31
coming in the coming days, hopefully, but everybody seemed
3:36
to have fun and get literally full off of the gifts and stuff.
3:42
Actually, let me show you what I got my wife.
3:46
So there's a guy following on social media who does a lot of
3:51
like anime merch, clothing and accessories and stuff.
3:56
And so I got these very dope Sailor Moon earrings for my
4:02
wife. I don't know if y'all can see.
4:05
There we go. So got these for her.
4:09
She's super loved them. Oh a lot of y'all.
4:13
Probably also seen like he of course he's done like tons of
4:16
dope hoodies and stuff and one of the big ones, a lot of people
4:19
that he did in the past year whatever he did some some
4:23
pochita chainsaw man house shoes a lot of people been rocking
4:27
everywhere and stuff so so the dude does like very awesome work
4:30
and so as soon as those went up for sale I I bought them many
4:34
months ago like a few months back whatever.
4:37
And they shipped and got here a couple weeks ago just in time
4:40
for Christmas. So she was very happy to to get
4:44
those. So, so yeah, so shout out to him
4:47
for creating those. And yeah, like I said, like
4:52
things have been pretty good. Just kind of just taking it day
4:57
by day as I continue to do and just enjoying this kind of slow
5:03
and quiet period because I told my kids, my especially my oldest
5:08
three, I told them have fun and enjoy these Christmas breaks and
5:14
stuff like this. I said because next year when
5:17
Y'all hit ninth grade or whatever and if, if, if, if any
5:21
of y'all potentially play on varsity as a freshman or
5:25
whatever, then these basically every year, next year going
5:31
forward, the hot isn't going to be.
5:34
It might not be as quiet as they are this year just because I'm
5:40
like I'm I'm like once you get to like starting to get to like
5:42
close to high school and stuff, whatever y'all play during
5:46
Thanksgiving break and Christmas break and Christmas tournaments
5:49
and different stuff like that or whatever.
5:50
So I said enjoy stuff have fun, you know do your sleepovers
5:54
whatever case may be or whatever just because the amount of down
5:59
some you have now might not be the same for the next few years.
6:05
So so yeah. So everybody just been chilling
6:08
hanging around the house they still been going to open gym get
6:14
some basketball stuff in during this winter holiday and stuff
6:19
and yeah so overall like I said I can't can't complain too too
6:22
much you know. But All in all, we're here,
6:27
we're alive, we're doing well and that that that's all you can
6:32
ask for. So with that being said, like I
6:36
said, I, I kind of just wanted to talk about this a little bit
6:40
because it's, it's been a kind of like a little bit of a topic
6:43
been on my mind lately, especially with the holiday
6:47
season and stuff and things that are nature and you know, doing
6:54
holiday shopping as well as like I said, like during holiday
7:00
breaks and stuff, whatever, sometimes we might maybe go
7:03
catch up on some games we missed or some TV shows or movies,
7:06
whatever the case may be or whatever.
7:09
And so that's something I just wanted to talk about.
7:12
And so pretty much just kind of like the idea of, like I said,
7:19
waiting to consume and how sometimes you get a better deal,
7:27
literally and figuratively waiting before you jump into
7:31
something. So on the case of video games,
7:37
holiday season, whatever. And even if not just holiday
7:41
season, but just sometimes waiting a year plus six months
7:44
to a year, two years down the line or whatever before circling
7:48
back to a game. And so that, that's why I like
7:51
in recent years, especially you know having a family, kids and
7:55
stuff, whatever. I don't buy as much stuff day
7:59
one, just cause for one I don't have the time that I used to to
8:02
dive into games and stuff. But also I remember there were
8:07
so many times to where I would buy something day one, even
8:13
though I kind of knew I probably wouldn't have the time at the
8:16
moment to get into it by like, you know, I but I really want to
8:18
play that game whatever or that DLC or expansion or whatever,
8:22
not buy it and then either never really play it or don't get
8:28
really get to it until many months later and stuff.
8:31
And so I kind of have tried to do better about that and stuff.
8:36
And so one of the problem examples I wanted to use was
8:42
there's a game called Cult of the Lamb that I picked up a
8:46
couple I think maybe a little over a month ago now I think it
8:49
may be like end of October, early November.
8:53
I finally picked it up, I think for like 15 bucks. 1215 bucks is
8:59
something like that or whatever, because I think the game is
9:01
normally like close to like 30 bucks or something like that.
9:04
And so not only did I get to get the game, but I also got to get
9:08
the game plus some of its DLCS with the two whatever for a
9:14
cheaper price than what the base game was when the Origin came
9:17
out earlier last year. Whatever.
9:20
And it was a game that like I I heard a lot of good things about
9:25
and stuff. And I was like, I don't know.
9:28
And so I kept looking at it on sales and like it would go on
9:31
sale for maybe like 5 to 7 bucks off from time to time.
9:35
But I'll still be coming, I don't know.
9:36
But finally, like I said, when they hit like 12 bucks and it
9:41
was like a higher tier that has some of the DLC with the two, I
9:44
was like, OK, now is the time. And it was also kind of like the
9:49
perfect timing for me to play that style of game.
9:53
So I guess just for a little bit of a context for what I'm
9:56
talking about South Cult of the Lamb, think of it kind of like a
10:02
mix between Animal Crossing and kind of like a like a dungeon
10:12
crawler type of game to where you play.
10:14
It's kind of like this, kind of like for like a better term,
10:16
kind of like a demonic sheep or whatever.
10:21
And you're basically trying to recruit followers to your group
10:27
or literally your cult or whatever.
10:30
And so you're building them shelters and stuff and farming,
10:37
planting crops, mining wood and ore and different stuff like
10:43
that. And then you're also doing runs
10:46
through these dungeons because you're trying to defeat these
10:50
four like demon, monster things, whatever to unleash this one
10:57
that you're serving and stuff whatever.
10:59
So it it it's kind of like a like a like say kind of like a
11:02
twisted Animal Crossing. But it's been like super fun and
11:06
stuff to play but but it likes to like plan that there was
11:11
another one. I got on Sale 2 around the same
11:13
time. Oh, Hyper Light Drifter I think
11:18
is what it was called. And that one is also kind of
11:21
like that one's kind of like a action adventure, kind of like
11:25
puzzle type of game to where you have this kind of like open
11:29
world that you're exploring and you're getting different powers
11:33
and abilities and stuff to unlock new areas and things like
11:37
that. Pretty much a rubber type of
11:40
game that I've heard about for years and years and years.
11:43
Like this game came out like probably like 6 plus years ago.
11:48
And so once again finally saw it on sale for a good price.
11:53
And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna finally give a shout
11:55
and try it out now. I kind of go on the same lines
11:59
of that with well, I guess, I guess also sticking with the
12:04
games I guess right now. Also another benefit of waiting,
12:09
aside from getting a good deal is a lot of times you get like a
12:13
better version of the game. Because we all know a lot of
12:16
times nowadays so many games are constantly getting patches and
12:20
updates and new features and new content and things like that or
12:24
whatever. Added to it that sometimes it's
12:28
in your best benefit to wait a bit or whatever, because like
12:34
I'm trying to think Cyberpunk 2077 came out three years ago,
12:41
December 2020, and you know some people have problems with stuff
12:47
with it or whatever, but they've steadily worked on it and stuff
12:50
over the over the last three years and stuff.
12:53
And along with a new expansion, they released a big update to
12:56
the game that completely overhauled how the game plan
13:01
stuff works and added new features and classes and
13:05
different things like that or whatever.
13:06
It's almost making it like a whole new gaming experience.
13:11
And so I know some people, you know, played it at launch three
13:15
years ago and then, you know, played it again and then there
13:18
are those people that just now got into it recently.
13:22
And so stuff like that. It's kind of like another reason
13:25
of why, like I say, it's kind of sometimes good with game stuff
13:29
to kind of like pick and choose those couple of things.
13:32
Like, OK, you know what, this is the game.
13:35
I'll go ahead and buy day one, but this other one I'm not 100%
13:39
sure about or whatever. I'll put in my little wish list
13:42
and I'll just kind of keep an eye on it for updates and future
13:45
sales and stuff. Like I said, especially with
13:50
with how much stuff comes out, like there's so many games and
13:53
movies and anime and manga and so on and so forth coming out
13:57
all the freaking time. And while it is cool sometimes
14:01
to be part of these zeitgeist and the conversations and stuff
14:05
while stuff is going on, sometimes it's not so cool to.
14:10
You know what, hey, I'm not going to get to that right now.
14:14
I'll wait on it. Like I said, for it to be a
14:17
better price or like I said, just for it to be a better time.
14:21
Because also, sometimes we just might not be in the right head
14:25
space, so we're in the right mood for whatever that show or
14:30
game or book is and stuff, 'cause there's been plenty of
14:33
all of it, games and anime and movies and stuff, whatever,
14:38
where I've tried it or whatever, and either just straight up
14:42
didn't like it or just wasn't feeling it.
14:44
And then sometimes it could be a few days later, sometimes it
14:46
could be months or years later. You circle back to and be like,
14:50
yo, this is super dope. I'm glad I came back to it or
14:54
man, I'm glad I waited to try it out.
14:57
And kind of Speaking of which, touching on anime, because of
15:03
course what they've been this time of year a lot of like right
15:07
now the end of the fall anime season is kind of wrapping up.
15:10
So a lot of shows are ending right now and kind of like a
15:14
like a benefit to with anime sometimes, depending on what
15:17
your preferences and stuff is, is that sometimes waiting.
15:21
Not only do you of course just get to binge and watch all the
15:24
episodes together, but depending on what your language preference
15:31
is, whether it's English, dub, or maybe another language like,
15:34
you know, Spanish or German or whatever, a lot of times these
15:40
different languages will come out way later or whatever.
15:44
And so sometimes you kind of get that shout out to the homie or
15:48
Rob J, as he says, dubbed and done.
15:53
There are some anime that I've definitely kind of gotten in
15:55
that mindset for to where it's like man this looks kind of
16:01
interesting but I'm a wait on this till later and circle back
16:08
and sometimes some, even if it's something I might still watch
16:11
and sub. But sometimes I found especially
16:14
I found like especially like Isaac eyes and stuff like that,
16:16
whatever. For some reason, I also love
16:18
binge watching those after they're done dubbed as well,
16:23
just cause I don't want to use too much brainpower sometimes.
16:27
Like I've had a long day at work or just with family stuff,
16:30
whatever, and I just want something just simple and chill
16:33
to just watch and unwind with, sometimes with my glasses off.
16:42
So I just wanted to be like like laid back and just watch it
16:47
without having to like super focus on reading subtitles and
16:50
stuff. And so sometimes that's kind of
16:52
like like another little benefit of it to where, hey, I'll come
16:56
back to this later because once again, like I said with the game
16:58
stuff, whatever, there's so many shows coming out all the time
17:02
that it is nearly impossible to keep up with everything and
17:09
stuff. So and a lot of times with like
17:14
TV shows for example, sometimes waiting either until it's all
17:20
the way over or until you know it's the last season is a great
17:24
benefit because I never, never forget a couple shows that I
17:27
did. I did this with way back in the
17:29
day, three shows in particular that come to mind, Breaking Bad,
17:34
Mad Men and Sons of Anarchy. Now each of those I started
17:42
around the time that they announced that the final season
17:46
was going to be airing. And the crazy thing it was like
17:50
was like, for example, like Breaking Bad that had been going
17:53
on for so long. I was like, yo, this started
17:56
when I was in high school and now I'm like, you know, early to
18:04
mid 20s or whatever. When this is about to end, I'm
18:07
glad I didn't have to wait all these years to experience it or
18:10
whatever. And so I was there for, you
18:13
know, the final season and stuff, which was super dope.
18:16
Likes the same thing for Mad Men and the same thing for Sense of
18:20
Anarchy and stuff. And I'm kind of recently going,
18:25
I'm going through that right now with a Peaky Blinders on
18:30
Netflix, 'cause that is a show. I have heard that name so many
18:34
freaking times they come across it on recommended YouTube
18:38
reactions and stuff. Whatever.
18:39
Peaky Blinders, Peaky Blinders, Peaky Blinders.
18:41
And I kept being like, man, maybe someday I'll give it a
18:45
shot. Maybe someday, someday.
18:47
And so recently I had watched a What is It The Variety does a
18:56
YouTube series called Actors on Actors, where different actors
19:02
kind of like interview or have a conversation with each other.
19:06
And I watched one where Margot Robbie talked with, what's his
19:14
name Celian. I can't think of his full name.
19:17
Celian something, I don't know, Peeking Blinders.
19:26
Celia Murphy, who like I said Margot Robbie this summer.
19:32
She was, she played Barbie in the Barbie movie and Celia
19:35
Murphy played as Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer.
19:39
And so, you know, that was like a big summer thing.
19:44
And so those two conversating about those movies, as well as
19:48
like a lot of their previous works and stuff and Margot
19:52
asking Cillian a lot about Peaky Blinders and that experience and
19:55
stuff. And so that was kind of like the
19:57
final push. But OK, I enjoyed his work.
20:01
And in Oppenheimer as well as I think he was also in Inception.
20:12
Yeah, Dark Knight. So a lot, lots of stuff that
20:15
I've enjoyed. But but yeah, I finally gave it
20:18
a shot. And once again.
20:20
Peaky Blinders started 10 years ago in 2013 and it just ended
20:25
last year 2022. So I was like, hey, perfect.
20:31
And it has been such an awesome show to watch, such such an
20:36
awesome roller coaster. Oh let me see somebody knocking
20:38
on my door. But yeah, so like I was saying,
20:42
yeah, Peaky Blinders has been super dope to watch.
20:46
Super stressful. And I just finished season three
20:49
of six, so I'm like, man, I'm like there's three more seasons
20:54
of this insanity to come, which is exciting.
20:58
But like I said, it just kind of just reminds me of like Breaking
21:01
Bad with this steady escalation of things getting crazier and
21:07
crazier and crazier and stuff over the course of that show.
21:10
But but yeah, so Peaky Blinders have been super dope.
21:13
But but yeah it it's it's a it's a lot of shows and stuff and
21:17
especially because nowadays shows and stuff beginning
21:22
canceled so early too to where it's like hey, after one season,
21:27
you know Netflix cancel this show or you know Hulu or Max or
21:31
whoever. You know hey after two seasons
21:34
it's done and it's like man, you know and like stuff is left
21:38
unresolved or whatever. So sometimes, you know, it pays
21:42
to to wait, so to speak, whatever.
21:49
And also like some something that I do kind of miss that
21:54
sometimes you don't get to experience too much whatever,
21:56
'cause like I said, like sometimes you do kind of want to
21:58
be in the zeitgeist and part of the conversations and everything
22:03
with with the latest and greatest of stuff, whatever.
22:07
But sometimes that can also kind of like like mess with your your
22:14
own personal perception of this where it's like, man, am I
22:18
enjoying this because I'm enjoying it or am I enjoying it
22:20
because of all the memes coming out after the episode or, you
22:25
know, along with the game or whatever the case may be,
22:27
whatever. And so sometimes there is
22:30
something nice about that purity of getting to experience a show,
22:37
a game, a movie, whatever, in a vacuum unto itself.
22:43
Because that that's why sometimes, like with certain
22:46
movies, even if I'm even if I might not personally trying to
22:52
go out of my way to engage in certain conversations about it,
22:55
some stuff I try to go see as soon as possible when it's in
22:59
theaters or whatever, just so that I have my own kind of
23:04
untainted, so to speak, experience with the theme.
23:09
And that's why sometimes as well, when possible.
23:12
Of course, I don't get to do it too much or whatever, but I also
23:15
sometimes like getting to experience something, coming and
23:20
talk about it on the podcast, and then seeing what the
23:23
Internet has to say about it. Because there's also that that
23:27
sense of other people's thoughts messing up your thoughts on
23:32
something or whatever, where sometimes you just want to give
23:36
a genuine thoughts or idea of or review on a show that you saw.
23:46
And so, yeah, but yeah, I I don't like to I I I just kind of
23:49
just wanted to share my thoughts on that, 'cause like I said it,
23:53
it is the season for finding stuff on sale or catching up on
23:58
stuff while you're out on break for the holiday or whatever the
24:03
catch may be. Whatever.
24:04
So say a select system. Don't don't be afraid to check
24:10
out something later and and to circle back to stuff.
24:16
Because at the end of the day you have to enjoy stuff for
24:22
yourself and on your own time. Don't don't go broke or try to
24:27
go out of your way to keep up with the conversations and
24:31
stuff. I know sometimes we do want to
24:32
be part of the fun and excitement or whatever, but we
24:36
can't be there for every single thing.
24:40
And even myself, sometimes I'm kind of stretched in between
24:43
keeping up with certain mongers or keeping up with live action
24:47
TV shows, keeping up with anime, keeping up with movies, keeping
24:50
up with the video games and stuff.
24:52
And it's just like, yeah, it's just a lot.
24:56
And that's why sometimes it's like, sometimes I like, browse
25:00
back through my YouTube videos and stuff that like old comments
25:04
and stuff and somebody being like, hey, I love this review of
25:07
this, you know, first volume or whatever it might have been or
25:10
whatever. I look forward to hearing your
25:14
thoughts on the next one or whatever.
25:15
And it's like, man, that was already two years ago when that
25:18
person commented on this and there's already been, you know,
25:23
7 new volumes that have come out or the series already ended.
25:27
But I never did a full series review on it. 20th Century Boys
25:33
like I was panic or whatever, But like I said it, it is just
25:36
so much to to try to keep up with them.
25:40
So that's why sometimes it's just like, hey, go at your own
25:42
pace and consume what you can, how you can and how you want to,
25:53
you know, and you'll be fine. You know, like I said, like you
25:56
know, don't. Don't let nobody make you feel
25:57
bad because you just now watched a show that might consider,
26:03
quote, UN quote old or whatever, or you just got right to the
26:05
game that is several years old or whatever.
26:08
That is fine, you know, because that that's why sometimes it's
26:13
still cool to to do a review on something regardless of how old
26:18
it is. Because there is always
26:20
potential of either either helping that thing, finding a
26:26
new audience, or also people who enjoy that thing back in the
26:32
day. Kind of getting a chance to kind
26:34
of like go down memory road and reminisce about it as well.
26:38
Or hear somebody all these years later their thoughts on this
26:43
thing you experienced a long time ago.
26:46
And that's kind of why, like, I have this idea, but I don't know
26:51
when or how long it's going to be before I get to it.
26:54
But there are certain shows or movies that I haven't seen in a
26:59
very, very long time that I was like, man, it'll be very dope to
27:05
revisit some of this stuff, whatever.
27:07
Especially because like I said, like how I look at stuff and how
27:10
I review and analyze stuff. Whatever is way different from
27:17
how I might have looked at the thing 10/15/20 plus years ago or
27:22
whatever. Because one, one of the main
27:25
ones that keeps on coming to my mind is the big The Book of Eli.
27:29
That movie is now for sure, well over 10 years old.
27:34
Matter of fact, let me see Book of Eli 2010.
27:39
So yeah, 13 years old. And so I haven't really seen
27:42
that movie really since They know, whatever.
27:45
So 13 years later, whatever. What will be my modern thoughts
27:49
on it or whatever. Same thing with, I saw some
27:52
clips of things like the 20th anniversary of like the OR was
27:56
it the Prince, The Prince of Egypt?
28:06
Yeah, 1998. So I think it was like 25 years
28:08
ago. So it's like, it's like I
28:11
haven't seen that for sure in over 15 years, 'cause I think I
28:15
was, I was still like a kid, at least maybe like like a early
28:20
teenager. Maybe the last time I saw that
28:22
movie. Yeah.
28:24
So that'll be another one to be kind of interesting to kind of
28:27
go back to all these years later and so so many things that there
28:30
there's just like a lot of stuff.
28:33
Like I said, sometimes I don't seem like, man, I have, I
28:36
haven't seen that in a long time.
28:37
It would be cool to revisit that.
28:39
So but it kind of kind of going off on a tangent.
28:43
But yeah, like I said that that that's kind of it what I wanted
28:46
to kind of touch on with that subject.
28:49
I don't know, like I said something weird, my my mind just
28:51
thinking of stuff, whatever and I just wanted to share it.
28:55
One thing I do get to do yesterday where we were kind of
28:59
getting stuff in order or whatever, is those of y'all seen
29:02
the video version of this. I finally got my freaking manga
29:04
shelf cleaned up and organized as y'all can see.
29:11
I still got my 20th century Boys and Villa Saga next to each
29:14
other on the top, but y'all See, I moved maggots to the library
29:18
up to the top row and stuff. So I kind of shuffle some things
29:22
around on my shelf, you know, making do with the space I have
29:30
for now, cuz I know eventually someday I'm gonna get, you know,
29:34
bigger space, more shelves and stuff, whatever.
29:36
But I'm making do with with the stuff I have and Speaking of the
29:41
stuff I have, so I found out. So I had posted a video on
29:44
social media yesterday of my shelf after I had redid it or
29:48
whatever, and everybody and lots of people are hitting me up
29:51
about. So up here on the top of my
29:52
shelf I have this this GameStop exclusive hollow Ichigo Pop
30:01
figure. I've had it for many, many years
30:04
now. Whatever.
30:05
And don't really think about it. I just, I got it because it
30:08
looks cool or whatever. And when I put this chef
30:11
together couple years ago, whatever I put it up there and
30:14
it's just been there. Somebody hit me up and there's a
30:17
site that I guess that you can kind of like see what the kind
30:21
of like going right for certain collectibles and stuff are.
30:25
And this freaking hollow Ichigo pop figure is going for over
30:31
$400.00. And I bought the thing for for
30:36
sure under 20, like 15 bucks or something like that or whatever,
30:39
whenever it came out originally. But yeah, the fact that that
30:43
thing is freaking worth over $400 and then I have a a glow in
30:50
the dark, the giant Karama pop Figure 2.
30:54
Whatever. I think that's going for like a
30:56
couple 100 as well. I'm like, man, but I'm gonna
30:59
continue to sit on those for maybe someday in the future
31:03
they'll be worth even more and maybe I might deport with them
31:05
or hey, maybe I'll just hang on to them until the end of time.
31:10
But I I I just thought that that was just kind of funny that that
31:14
that is a thing. So but yeah but I don't know.
31:17
So as I'm kind of looking here and you know the the the year is
31:23
kind of starting to you know wind down and stuff whatever.
31:26
I've been kind of debating on how I wanted to do kind of like
31:31
some type of end of year favorite thing or whatever.
31:37
Of course I'm sad I can't do what I did last year where I had
31:41
different guests for the different social area.
31:43
What's your favorite game? Different movies, different
31:45
shows, different anime, whatever.
31:47
But it is what it is. I don't even know if I'll even
31:51
get to do it this year. Whatever.
31:53
Or maybe I might just do like one super mega ultra long
31:56
episode with just top stamps for each subject.
32:00
I don't know. We'll see.
32:04
But I do know for sure like I've been doing on Christmas Eve, on
32:08
me on New Year's Eve, I'll do kind of like my my reflection
32:16
kind of like look back at the year episode where I look back
32:19
at everything from the podcast stuff to stuff that happened in
32:23
my life or whatever and just kind of reflect on the positives
32:26
and the negatives and then see where I might want to try to go
32:31
from there going forward and stuff.
32:33
So going to the into the next year and stuff.
32:35
So, but, but yeah, other than that I don't think I have too
32:39
much more I want to to touch on trying to think, yeah, I think I
32:49
think I might go maybe play some games and stuff, enjoy this last
32:51
little bit of a quiet time, you know, while while my family's
32:57
gone for the night. Because unlike them, I do still
33:02
have to get up in the morning and go to work and stuff while
33:04
they're out of school. And my wife is off of work for
33:06
the most part because she, you know, works works at the school
33:10
and stuff. So but you know, father, dad,
33:14
daddy, whatever you want to call me, still got to get up and make
33:19
some business moves and stuff happen in the morning.
33:22
But but yeah, I don't know. Oh and also my my birthday is
33:27
coming up in two weeks, January 6th.
33:29
So very excited for that man. I'm freaking 34.
33:35
So wild. So wild to think about the the
33:38
the passage of time on that man. But yeah other than that, like I
33:43
say I'm just kind of project gonna continue going through and
33:47
catching upon these anime that have finished up and stuff.
33:53
So cuz so trying to think today I watched the last three
33:57
episodes of of A A Returner's magic.
34:04
What is it called? A returner's magic Should be
34:07
something. Harry Turner's magic should be
34:11
special. Yeah, So I finished watching
34:13
that anime that is an anime based off of a webtoon and
34:17
stuff. So.
34:18
And I liked it, you know, wasn't the best of the best, but it
34:23
was, it was like a nice, kind of like a comfort watch for me for
34:26
a while, week to week. But I kind of fell off, like
34:29
getting got busy over the last few weeks and I kind of fell off
34:32
from a lot of shows. But I circled back and watched
34:34
those last three episodes this morning or whatever good stuff,
34:38
and they already announced the Season 2 is coming.
34:40
So I'm looking forward to checking out that.
34:45
I also just finished watching the last few episodes of Mickey
34:48
and Dolly, yo, that show, that show was very interesting from
34:56
beginning to the very freaking end.
35:00
But I'm very glad that I gave it a shot.
35:03
It is definitely something very it is definitely a show that is
35:06
very different. But at the core as follows, You
35:12
know these two twin boys, identical twin boys, Betski,
35:16
trying to track down and solve the mystery of their mother's
35:19
murder That happened. The show kind of like has like a
35:24
nice threading of the needle of cracking some jokes while also
35:31
having some kind of like twisted undertones.
35:34
While like I said, also dealing with this drama of the family
35:37
and the murder stuff. Whatever.
35:39
So but yeah, so that that was pretty interesting and stuff.
35:43
Rest in peace to the author. She passed away right before the
35:48
anime started airing and stuff, so which was extra sad to hear.
35:54
But yeah, so shout out to Mickey and Dolly.
35:59
I plan on going back. Let me pull up Crunchyroll
36:04
trying to see free, free run has still been so freaking good.
36:12
Free run beyond Journeys and and apothecary Diaries.
36:18
Both of those shows continue, continue to be fantastic.
36:22
We're going to have a one week break without them end of this
36:25
week, but then they start back next week for my birthday
36:28
weekend and stuff. So because both of those shows
36:31
are going to be 24 episodes, so I'm looking forward to several
36:35
more months with both of those shows.
36:39
What else? I'm going to go back in, finish
36:41
up, Ron Kimono Hashis Forbidden Deductions.
36:46
I got a few episodes left on that and they already confirmed
36:48
the season 2 of that. Same thing with Shy.
36:51
I got a handful of I think I watched 6 episodes, I got like 6
36:55
left of that. I need to go back and finish
36:57
watching the rest of Shy. That also has been confirmed for
37:01
our Season 2 Zomb 100 Bucket List of the Dead.
37:04
The last three episodes of of season one finally came out
37:09
today on Christmas Day, so I look forward to going back to
37:13
that because that one because of how erratic the freaking release
37:18
scheduling stuff was because of production issues and stuff I
37:22
only watched. I think maybe 6 episodes of it
37:27
which is, which is pretty much is like right where I stopped
37:32
reading in the manga and stuff so I got.
37:35
I want to go back and finish watching that so that's coming
37:44
something. What other stuff is on here?
37:47
I want to try out that 100 girlfriend show.
37:50
I heard that one's really fun and also got confirmed for more
37:55
episodes are kind of that. Those are kind of the main ones
38:02
that I wanted to make sure I circle back to.
38:07
Sorry, let me see. Did this movie drop?
38:15
OK, so I got to go watch this at some point.
38:18
So there is no advertising to my knowledge.
38:21
So there's an anime I talked about like earlier in the year
38:23
called kinda of the Great Snow Sea, and the season kind of
38:30
ended off on like a little bit of a cliffhanger.
38:32
But we knew that there was going to be a movie coming to, I think
38:35
finish it up or whatever, where pay.
38:37
Well, apparently the movie dropped a few days ago or
38:40
whatever, so it's an hour 40. So I got a check that out.
38:45
So I definitely got to make a note to to circle back to that.
38:50
And I'm trying to think, I think those are kind of if like the
38:53
fall stuff I want to finish because kingdoms are ruined.
38:57
I have no desire to go back to that anytime soon, if ever.
39:08
Yeah, there's other stuff like early in the year.
39:10
Oh, my daughter left the left, the Nesta S rank my daughter
39:14
show. I need to go back and I really
39:15
want to go back and finish that one.
39:19
Those are kind of it. They're like, oh, and the
39:22
playthrough of a certain dudes VRMMO Life.
39:25
That's another one as well. So there's a few shows I kind of
39:28
want to finish up. So I'll probably do that over
39:31
the course of this week while I'm think I'm taking a little
39:35
bit of a break from the insanity of Peaky Blinders and stuff.
39:39
So, well, who knows, maybe maybe I might jump back into that for
39:43
more for more metal torture. But but yeah, those are kind of
39:48
here for the shows I'm keeping want to circle back to.
39:54
There's some manga that are kind of on my radar.
39:58
I kind of want to take some time soon to kind of circle back and
40:01
catch up on trying to think because Sakamoto days read the
40:08
new chapter of that. What can you say?
40:11
One Piece? Freaking giving us ODA, giving
40:14
us a another heartbreaker for this freaking Kuma Flashback for
40:20
as our as the Christmas gift of the community, My Hero Academia.
40:26
So I'm not talking specific spoilers, but after reading
40:29
chapter 410, I think that I think that my Hero Academia
40:33
manga is going to be wrapped up no later than May.
40:38
It's going to be wrapped up by the end of May.
40:39
I'm saying right now with with what happened in 410, I think
40:45
we're going to be done in a in a handful of months.
40:50
I need to, I need to go back and read these new chapters of
40:52
Doctor Stone. I think I'm a couple chapter.
40:58
I'm a couple charges behind that new Green Green Greens I got to
41:03
make some time in Capcom. I'm like 50 chapters behind on
41:05
Connie Bonacci and those are kind of like the main ones that
41:11
I really want to really, really, really want to catch up on.
41:18
There's some new manga that are coming up that are getting
41:24
English physical releases in the coming months that I put in for
41:27
some digital review copy access for.
41:31
So hopefully, hopefully in the come in the in the next couple
41:34
of days when people come out from holiday break and stuff
41:36
whatever hopefully those get approved because I got some very
41:39
interesting stuff that I want to check out and hopefully talk
41:46
about because there it was a couple of things that are like
41:49
yo, those sound very dope and brought up my radar.
41:53
So this might be something that Rob needs to need to talk about
41:56
on the show. So and I got a couple more I I
42:02
want to read volume one of The Witch and the Beast before the
42:08
anime stars airing on January 11th.
42:12
I think I also want to dive into Innocent at some point in the
42:17
coming month. Maybe I might say this for like
42:20
earlier early next year. I don't know man.
42:25
The art in this is so freaking good man.
42:28
This thing looks so very beautiful.
42:30
But but yeah. So we'll we'll see.
42:34
Like I said, I'm, I'm also trying to be careful tonight,
42:37
overly commit myself to too much stuff and just like from my
42:41
brain from like too many choices and options and stuff.
42:45
So which like I said, I don't still don't know how I'm going
42:47
to do if anything at all for like a year, year wrap up
42:52
episodes for my favorite stuff of the year.
42:55
But who knows, maybe I'll do something or maybe I might just
42:58
let it go this year. Who knows?
43:02
Yeah, I'm trying to think, let me know, maybe trying to go and
43:06
see some more movies this week. I think I want to try to try
43:10
looking at that poor things movie that seemed interesting.
43:16
I saw The Iron Claw the other day and I'm I'm debating maybe
43:21
doing like a separate review for that cuz I have some thoughts I
43:25
want to share on that specifically.
43:26
But man, that was such a gripping movie.
43:30
Like I I knew that there was like a I knew that there was a
43:34
lot, a lot of tragedy surrounding the story of the Von
43:38
Erich wrestling family and stuff, whatever.
43:40
But to actually see it play out in a movie and stuff like boom,
43:44
boom, boom, boom, tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, it
43:48
was like, dear Lord, man. So yeah, that that movie was
43:52
really good and stuff. So but like some might talk
43:55
about that it's something separate in the future.
43:57
But yeah, I think that's going to do it for this episode.
44:01
Like some, I don't want to just continue dragging this out or
44:03
whatever. So but like I said, I hope
44:05
everybody out there is having a great holiday and stuff,
44:09
enjoying time, whether it be just to yourself or whether it
44:13
be with family or friends. I hope you're out there taking
44:16
care and yeah, enjoying your time.
44:21
But yeah, I think with that that's going to do it.
44:27
As always, you can find me everywhere at Daddy's a Talk.
44:31
Let me know how your end of year is going and things that you
44:37
know that you're reflecting on or things that you're looking
44:39
forward to. And yeah, reach out, talk to me.
44:45
And so with that being said is I always try to say treat yourself
44:50
to something nice. Read some monger, watch some
44:53
anime and TV, play some video games, and live your best life.
44:57
And with that your boy is out. Y'all take care.
45:01
I love you and I appreciate y'all so much.
45:04
Y'all be easy peace.
