Introduction and Show Highlights
00:00:02
Speaker
Who the hell told you tonight was Open Mic Night? Oh, we're back again for another episode of Open Mic with the MVP Marco.
00:00:27
Speaker
I am your host the MVP Marco and this is the this is the last episode of this year But it will be the I believe the debut episode of next year So I think we're gonna obviously next year mean a couple of days from now So it's gonna be like the the very first episode that you'll see on the chick Foley show feed So yeah, we'll go for this Definitely, you know this I think this episode is gonna be really great. I want to jump right into it like I always say I have no sponsors and
00:00:54
Speaker
But definitely, you know, listen to the Pod Foundation. That's the us group of collect. We're the greatest content creators known to man. I mean, some people would say no. I say otherwise. Obviously, it's the Turnbuckle Tavern, the extra cooler show coming down the aisle with J-Bone and the, of course, a flagship show, the Chick Foley show, which I am on. And I'm on another show on the Turnbuckle Tavern, which is called The Raw Down.
00:01:22
Speaker
Look for that every Thursday, 8 o'clock on YouTube. 8 o'clock EST, I should say. But let's jump right into this episode because I'm pretty excited. This person I've been trying to, you know, we were trying to make this happen for maybe a few months now, I think, or it seems like an eternity. It's been a long time. Yeah, exactly, from what I'm saying.
Collector's Passion: Queen G's Donatello Obsession
00:01:42
Speaker
But yeah, this person came across my IG feed. I follow a lot of collectors. I'm a collector myself.
00:01:51
Speaker
Mainly, if you can see here, my shirt here, I'm wearing a Hulk Hogan crossout face because if you're a wrestling fan, you know the things that Hulk Hogan said back in the late 2000s. We won't get into that. I'll bring this up to you if you're not able. We'll catch you up to speed. This person, I was very intrigued by not only the collection that they have, but the
00:02:18
Speaker
Uh, the, the amount of, you know, media that they kind of cover. So, I mean, I'll just bring it on out. Queen, Queen G. I mean, your, your, uh, your, your page is amazing only because it's littered with.
00:02:33
Speaker
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Are you the biggest fan? Are you the biggest collector of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I'm not the biggest collector. I'm not. In fact, I get really nervous when people refer to me as a collector because I'm very precise in my niche of what I collect.
00:02:57
Speaker
Mostly specifically Donatello. Okay. I love all four turtles. You know how some sets right they just go together so I'll get like sets but majority of my figures are from my childhood and I buy you know newer stuff but unless I am just like blown away by
00:03:19
Speaker
the sets, I'm only seeking Donatello. I'm not sure that I fit in the building of massive collectors that just have to have every single thing from every single line. I'm not that kind of collector. If it doesn't touch my heart in a way, I don't need to have it.
00:03:40
Speaker
Um, but I'm definitely like, I'm on the first floor for sure in the building of collectors because my Donatello stuff is pretty extensive, but it's, it's, it's mostly, it's him though. So I want to, you know, I kind of want to scale back a little bit because, you know, I have a, one of my, my closest friends, um, uh, my buddy Jay, he's a avid, uh, Ghostbusters fan. So like,
00:04:08
Speaker
his house in his basement he has this like room that he built with like literally like wall to wall yeah there's like literally anything you can think of he doesn't really get like the newer stuff he like he like you he goes back and gets like the older right yeah stuff like that keep some uh moc and everything like that but like
00:04:25
Speaker
And he doesn't buy any crossover things like if like that, you know, they do those crossover figures where it's like, you know, Ghostbusters crossing over with like, oh, he, man, or they actually did, they actually did a Lego one, the Ecto one, they did like a transformer.
Collecting Philosophy
00:04:41
Speaker
I want to as well, but yeah, so he doesn't get any of those he sticks to the original thing So are you the same way like do you do you like the crossover like things you collect any of that stuff? Oh, yeah, I'm Yeah, see I'm really really picky like um
00:04:59
Speaker
I'm not really into the huge crossover stuff. Super 7 and NECA are coming out with all this stuff. I'm an early 80s baby. I turned 40 this year in 2022.
00:05:18
Speaker
I don't know, I'm not digging all of the new stuff. I want the stuff that I remembered seeing in my childhood because that's where my memories and passion, you know, is all with. I think all the new stuff is super cool and the crossover stuff is amazing. I just, I don't need it, I guess. Yeah, I mean, I get it. Because I was going to ask you, so like a lot of people that listen to this show and the Chick-Fully show,
00:05:47
Speaker
we're all collectors but the main thing mainly they collect is like wrestling figures right i was wondering if you did know that they had like that crossover they did like a wwe uh teenage turtles crossovers do you did you see any of those like they did like the ultimate warrior and i forget i think it might have been michael angelo and like a turtle they did like a
00:06:07
Speaker
Undertaker and I think Leonardo. I forget all of them, but I do for, Michelangelo is my second favorite. I did get the Michelangelo one. Yeah, because back then I was a huge wrestling fan too. I got older and I fell off with wrestling. And see, that's the problem is my old soul is so stubborn, right? So when all of the wrestlers started to retire that I grew up with,
00:06:37
Speaker
You're not going to talk about Hulk Hogan. I was a huge Randy Savage fan and Million Dollar Man and Andre the Giant and all those type of guys that once they were gone, so was I. I just kind of just fell off. I really had no idea, sorry to go way off topic, that wrestling is still as huge as it is today. I honestly thought people stopped after The Rock and I don't know, has John Cena still run?
00:07:06
Speaker
I mean, you know, it's funny. He actually is wrestling. He'll be I think on Friday. He actually will be having to match. Yeah, it's it's I mean, it's been it's you know, it had his it had it's like well during like the you know, 2000s because WWE bought out the competition and it was just them but then as they went along there's a lot more companies that started popping up and now I mean WWE now it's like a multi-billion dollar like Empire which you know, they have deals at NBC and
00:07:39
Speaker
Yeah, it's, it's, it's insane. Like ESPN covers them and stuff. They have a deal with them. So it is as big as it was, as I mean, even bigger. It makes me want it to get back into, but I just, I just, you know, I guess I kind of just moved on
Wrestling Controversies: Hogan and McMahon
00:07:55
Speaker
when the people who I grew up with, you know, moved on too. But as I was a little nervous to be on this show, on wrestling is very minimal. So here's the thing, like, like I said, the,
00:07:55
Speaker
They're doing documentaries at A&E.
00:08:07
Speaker
the show.
00:08:30
Speaker
divorce his wife. I went to this like downward spiral and stuff. Was this after he was doing his like reality show? Yes. Yep. Yep. So after reality show. Up a little bit. Okay. Yeah. So basically what happened was he, uh, some, some, some audio of him
00:08:47
Speaker
surfaced of him and his son on the phone saying not so nice things about black people. So he was quickly removed from all WWE. They erased him from the history of WWE. What happened? Did he have a situation with a brother? What started this? So in the call, he did speak of his daughter, Brooke,
00:09:14
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, he was dating a black man at one time. Okay. And from the call, from what I remember the call, I haven't listened to it in a while, but like he liked the father, like the guy's father, but he didn't like the guy that was dating his daughter. Okay. And he had some choice words. I will not repeat the words that he said, but you know, you can, you can use your imagination, but that's why. So this, there's this podcast called a black wrestling podcast where they have some merch and they made this
00:09:44
Speaker
sweet hoodie that I have on now with the Hulk Hogan with the red hats on his face. But I mean, you got to stand, if you don't stand for something, you fall for anything. I'm just wondering, you know, because like, like, let's say if I'm dating a guy, right? And then like, he does something or he just does something that's like not attractive, you know, and I could just be like, I could
00:10:08
Speaker
I will sum up the entire young group of men for a little while because of the situation that I had. I'm not playing devil's advocate. He shouldn't have said that, but I'm just kidding. He came back, he apologized and all that stuff. There's some people that
00:10:29
Speaker
except his apology and some people that don't. Especially when you're a different race, it hits different. He was the say your prayers, eat your vitamins. Everyone was a Hulkamaniac as a kid, but when you get older, you start to grow and all these
00:10:48
Speaker
You see the behind the scenes stuff and you're just like, oh boy. I mean, that goes for a lot of, uh, a lot of athletes, a lot of entertainers and stuff like that. That happens. Yeah. You know, like I said, you gotta, this is more of us, like a, not really a statement. It's just like, you know, cool merch, but you know, I gave him my ignorance, you know, blissful life, not knowing this. Well, I'm sorry. I mean, that's so the, so here's the other part of like, you know, being a, uh, like a kind of like wrestling podcaster.
00:11:17
Speaker
You have to report about the behind the scenes stuff and there's a lot of stuff that happens behind the scenes that we don't like to bring to light. I mean, I'm not sure if you know, but Vince McMahon is no longer a part of the company. I saw that he retired, right? Yeah, he retired. He was forced to retire because of... Oh, he was forced to retire. See, I didn't read that part. I just thought he was old and he was stepping down. So we'll get to this and then we'll get back
Love for Boston and Personal History
00:11:43
Speaker
to you. Yeah, really. I'll get you sped up.
00:11:47
Speaker
He did some things with company money.
00:11:50
Speaker
basically like paid off some embezzlement. No, not really. He paid off some ladies for their services. Oh, for their services. Yeah, that worked in the company. That's how it worked most. Yeah, so around 12 million or so. Damn, I'm in the wrong image. Yeah, for NDAs and keep quiet, I'm married, I have a public image, that type of thing. So he was forced to step down and now he's no longer the CEO. So as a wrestling fan, I never thought I would see the day
00:12:20
Speaker
where Vincent Kennedy McMahon, which is his full name, would be like gone from wrestling. Like that, I thought he was gonna like go out on his death bed. That's what a lot of people thought. Sorry, I have a question. So what makes that different than like, I mean, didn't they find out like the Patriots? I don't know if you watched NFL. Oh yeah, Robert Kraft. I mean, then he did. And then Boston, of course. And then Massachusetts, of course I know about all this stuff. I did not know that, but I recognize that accent. Yes.
00:12:50
Speaker
Where is this dude? I just want to put this out there. I am in love with Boston I have two hats that I wear and it one's white and one's blue and they're both the Boston Red Sox every chance I get it, you know to go out there and fuck around with the green Monster, whatever the hell that is. They have the big green monster. I am a huge fan Fenway Fenway is a great ballpark and they definitely anyone anyone listening out there if you ever travel to
00:13:20
Speaker
You know the Northeast definitely visit Fenway. It's oh you have great on a summer day. Oh so great You might have to and I didn't even know Boston is the only baseball stadium that still does like a live
00:13:35
Speaker
What, it's not accordion or, you know, that organ. Yeah, the organ, yes. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, we're the only ones left that have an actual person that do it. There's so much history in that park. I adore it.
00:13:51
Speaker
I mean, there's so much history in New England itself. I mean, it's the birthplace of this nation. What's the difference between the Patriots owner doing what he did and McMahon? There is no, I mean, there is no difference. The only thing I can think of is, well, so I know the NFL is like, it's not really, it's not really publicly traded. Like the teams are like owned, like the owner, like he owns that team. Like no one can tell him what to do. Like,
00:14:21
Speaker
Someone from the outside could be like, hey, you should do this. And Robert Kraft could be like, F off. I'm not doing that. I own the team. Where the WWE is a publicly traded company with investors and advertisers and other people own the company besides Vince McMahon. I think he owns like 85% or something crazy like that.
00:14:40
Speaker
but there's other investors that can vote you out. Oh, I get it. Okay, that sucks. Yeah. I love Robert Kraft over here. I'm not going to say anything bad about him. No, I wasn't throwing any shade. I feel sorry for the young women.
00:15:01
Speaker
We do hate Tom Brady though. Again, we don't, we don't like Tom Brady anymore around here. So that's, uh, Oh, you, oh, you guys are totally off of him because, I mean, I mean, I have ever since he, uh, you know, he's having a tough go around where he's at now though. Yeah. I mean, he did that to himself, but that's another story. That's another, that's another, maybe I might have to have a heavy back on again so we could just like, just like do like gossip stuff, but let's bring it back to you. Um, and I seen,
00:15:29
Speaker
because I have to creep and do like research and stuff like that. Did you do like, were you like a fitness person or like a athlete at one point in your daycare? Yeah, I've always been an athlete, always. And then after I graduated from college, I just, I've always had a thing for fitness. I don't know what it is. I just, I cannot go
00:15:56
Speaker
a day, except for Sunday. My brain will allow me Sunday where I'm not physically active, working out, lifting weights mostly. Yeah, I just love putting myself to the challenge and feeling like I accomplished something at the end of the day.
00:16:13
Speaker
Yeah, I'm glad you did your research, dude. I have done so many podcasts. I had one guy come on and ask me and was like, um, so who's your favorite Ninja Turtle? And I was getting ready to just end the show. No, we have we have we have fun here. Like I said, we'll go all over the place. But did you do anything like competitive wise when you were
00:16:36
Speaker
Yeah, so I did a bikini for a little while, which was fun. I did that a couple years after I graduated from college. And then I placed, I never was able to get first or anything like that. And then I just really realized how much
00:17:04
Speaker
I do enjoy food. Okay. That's always the downfall there. Yeah, the floor deficit thing and, you know, right before shows, lack of water and all this kind of stuff is really strenuous. So I fell off, but I'm still, you know, physically, you know, active, you know, trying to push reps and stuff like that. Yeah. And when you say bikini, did you do like, were you doing like,
00:17:34
Speaker
Bodybuilding or just like to keep okay. Yeah, yeah, bodybuilding. Oh, yes. Yeah my trainer I had him for six years really competitive bodybuilder, you know champion all the time like he was He was the shit. It was just you know, I was getting old and I was getting tired This is before I like
00:18:01
Speaker
got my game room together. So once I put my game room together, dude, that was a wrap for me. Like, I just realized how much time and I'm not saying it was a bad thing. I was just, you know, I was getting older and I'm putting four or five, six hours a day into the gym. And I realized I really like playing video games. I need more time to play video games. So, yeah, I had to reevaluate my priorities.
00:18:32
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, cause you know, it's funny. Um, so Sheena Chick Foley, who I do the show with she, when I, when I first started following her account, stuff like that. Um, I had no clue that she, she also was into like fitness and she was in high school and all this stuff. And, and, uh, you know, she, she ran her own, like, um, you know, like fitness organization where she was.
00:18:53
Speaker
you know, helping, you know, people, you know, lead better lives and like setting them up with programs and all this stuff. So I think that was like one of the other things that kind of like you related to in that sense, where I was like, Oh, she, there's another person out there. That's kind of like how Sheena is, but obviously she's on the wrestling realm. She, she collects, but you guys are like, like pretty much in the same way where it comes to, you know, like almost like very simple and much respect to her. I did the, um,
00:19:24
Speaker
When you're in fitness, you basically become like a walking billboard, right? So everyone's coming to you and asking you to help. And I did the programs and I did the training and I just realized also, dude, I have no patience at all. And I feel like motivation is one of those things that you either have or you don't have.
00:19:48
Speaker
and trying to motivate people to put in the work, I was just getting tired of it. I really respect trainers that can be patient with people and can push them and motivate. If I'm asking you to do so many sets with so many reps and you don't want to do it, the first time I'll be like, okay, let's keep going. But you're just like,
00:20:13
Speaker
I don't want to say pathetic, but just like weak minded, you know, I just I have really low tolerance for people that are just weak and I'm not trying to come off like top bitch. It's just I've had to work for everything that I've ever wanted in life. And so when people just have lazy excuses, it's just like. Yeah, some people. Yeah, some people just can't help. I mean, you can try your best to do so. But, you know, in the end, if they're not going to, you know,
00:20:41
Speaker
beyond your level at all when it comes to
00:20:44
Speaker
Anything doesn't have to be, you know, just be on your level physically or mentally. Just as a work ethic, if they're not even going to like, you know, just try. Yeah. So kudos to her because man, I think I, I tried doing that for like three years and I was my last client, you know, she's a heavyset girl and we've kind of been friends. And it's one thing like every day that we would be out, she would make comments like,
00:21:13
Speaker
You know, I want to look better. I want to feel better. I, you know, I want to gain more confidence. And then when it's time to put in the work, you don't want to put in the work. We were doing squats and she didn't do one squat and she was just like, no, I can't do this. And I was like, you know what? Neither can I. Oh my God. That's, I mean, that's, I mean, that, yeah, it's the other thing too is like, I mean, I've not, I've never been a trainer like that, but I can see like, if the person that you're trying to work with doesn't want to do anything, it makes you,
00:21:43
Speaker
also not want to help them and do anything. They want it. They just don't want to work for it, right? Do the work. You got to put in the work. You got to put in the work. Especially, I mean, if you're talking to like a
00:21:57
Speaker
someone who was just born into this beautiful body, then okay, then maybe they could just baby you along. But working with someone that's actually started somewhere and then put in years and years of consistent work,
00:22:15
Speaker
I don't want to hear it. There was no reason not to do anything. When I was sick, I went to the gym. When I was happy, I went to the gym. When I was upset, I went to the gym. And on those same days, dude, I still had to watch what I put in my mouth. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how I'm feeling. You just do what you're supposed to do. It's too much. But I love it, though. Like you said, you have to put in the work. You have to watch what you're eating and stuff like that. It is hard work.
00:22:45
Speaker
It's not like you don't, you know, you just do one workout one day and then the next day you're, you know, you see. I mean, a lot of people think that way. That's the thing.
00:22:54
Speaker
Have you ever seen my 600 pound life or two large, one like that, right? When they get accepted, right? That doctor now is like, I'm going to do the surgery. How excited they are. And I'm just like, ooh, bitch, wait, you don't even know how hard you're going to work. And then the other part is they don't follow through. They'll get the surgery. They think that's it. They're not ready. The surgery's done. Yeah, I'm skinny now. It's fine. They have to do the exercises and they have to do
00:23:24
Speaker
Like you said, it's definitely, that's where the journey begins. Yeah, that's where it starts. And I'm just like, Oh my God, you're excited now? Just wait. Just wait. I was gonna say, I seen something else too, that you, I think you owned, it said you own a couple of businesses.
00:23:44
Speaker
Yeah. What were those businesses if you care to share? Oh my gosh. I still own them. So successful. Yeah. I have two construction companies. Wow. Okay. One is Concrete. All around we own like concrete pump trucks.
00:24:08
Speaker
So they're the trucks that the concrete pours the concrete into it and then the trunks trucks pump them out and then My other company I started with my brother It's a material supply company and essentially we supply like rebar and stuff like that So my company is kind of work together. They go like nice hand-in-hand. Um, yeah, we um
00:24:33
Speaker
All of the states have programs for minority companies and they set these bonuses for white
00:24:49
Speaker
they're white, white companies, white big companies to use minority companies. So I started a minority company and I started a woman owned business. So, you know, we're kind of, what do you call like the gold token or something like that, but we're a hot commodity in the state of California. So yeah, it's a lot to juggle with, you know, work and then gaming and
00:25:15
Speaker
collecting, I guess. Yeah. Trying not to spend all my money. Gotta support that. Gotta support the habit. That's, that's, yeah. Gotta support it. Gotta support it if I, because, you know, sometimes those pre-orders all hit at the same time. Don't, don't. You gotta be ready. Don't, don't, I don't even want to, I have to, obviously it's, you know, it's a holiday season, so you want to, so I try to scale back from that stuff, but man, you forget sometimes, like you'll be, you'll pre-order something like maybe,
00:25:43
Speaker
earlier in the year. You'll just see all those reductions and you're like, Oh my God. Yeah. With the delays and everything. Cause I had them spaced out when they're supposed to come through. And then all of a sudden they're like, Oh, they're all shipping next week. That was the worst. Who's especially with like, um, companies like super seven, um, that do like made to order, um, free orders, like,
00:26:10
Speaker
It's the past couple of years anyway, because obviously COVID and stuff like that. A lot of their like, you know, pre-orders got pushed back like, like a year, year or so. So all those people will get those debits and be included. Just like, just like, Oh my God, I forgot I ordered this. No. Right? But it's also like, it's a pleasant surprise too. You're like, Oh, I have forgotten about this. And then all of a sudden, you know, Oh, it's at the mail. Yeah, because I pre-ordered the,
00:26:39
Speaker
It was the, I still have it. I actually forgot to wear it. I was going to put it on. I had the April Neil from the TMNT movie, the NECA figure that came out. Oh, Judith Hoge. Judith Hoge, yes. So I like a huge fan because like on her IG she was like going through the whole process. Like when she did the announcement for it, when it was happening and then she was doing like
00:27:01
Speaker
Videos of her at the neck of offices going through like, you know, the moldings and all that. So I like followed the whole journey with that right there. But yeah, just getting that in the mail and I got, I ended up more of the, like, it was like the ultimate edition with, um, it was assigned, uh, channel three press pass.
00:27:17
Speaker
from her too, which is pretty cool. Yeah, that's super cool. It has her face on it from the movie, from the first movie. I like how she calls herself the original April O'Neil. She's the original. She's the live action one. That's who I would like. Yeah. I can't think of her name right now.
00:27:40
Speaker
thinking of when I got into Ninja Turtles, it was from the 87 cartoons, right? So that chick, you know, she's actually my original April O'Neill. But as far as movies go, it's Judith Hogue. And then like,
00:27:59
Speaker
Seeing her in other movies like she's still April and I know she's done some other big movies, but I mean no she's a She's April and Neil and she was a good one. Yeah. Oh, yeah. How do you feel about the how do you feel about the movies? Do you ever go back and watch? Rees I mean, why am I even asking you this question? Yeah, I watch them every day But uh, I I watched it recently
Ninja Turtles on Screen: Critiques and Anticipation
00:28:23
Speaker
and I like I love the first movie the first one's my favorite out of I don't like turtles
00:28:28
Speaker
the, what was the last, the last one was the, was it turtles in time was the last one or? The movie? Yeah, when they went back like in the same four days, I think it the name. Oh, the third one. Yeah, not a fan of that one. Second one, you know, the second one was good, but it was like, it was, it was way too Hollywood for me. Like they, you know, they had the bigger budget. It was, you know, I liked the first one cause it was like, it seemed like it was like more genuine.
00:28:58
Speaker
It was, you know, it's a low end budget and that was our first movie, right? So, I mean, it was amazing to see our, you know, our four half-shelled heroes, you know, on the big screen. Yeah, I watched that movie, the first one, probably
00:29:20
Speaker
at least once a week. Not just completely just sitting down and watching it. Sometimes I like to just talk through it in the background while I'm cooking or something like that. I adore it. I still think it's funny. The jokes are corny. I'm a corny chick. I still laugh. It's a great story. I think I've seen all the movies now.
00:29:49
Speaker
I like to throw in a little controversy and be like, okay, so I didn't love the Michael Bay movies, right? But I also didn't hate it. We hadn't had a movie in a while.
00:30:09
Speaker
I know what he was trying to do. He's trying to bring some more action and all that kind of stuff, which I thought was cool. Yeah, we didn't like the fact that they're supposed to be basically dwarfs and they were basically giants and their faces, they looked like aliens. Yeah, it wasn't the best.
00:30:30
Speaker
But I didn't hate it. I didn't hate them. I went to the theaters to see both of them, and I didn't leave there like, wow, that was great. But it's always nice to see the turtles, some shape or form. Have you seen this? They haven't really spoken about it, but there's been things popping up here and there. Have you heard about the Seth Rogan?
00:30:51
Speaker
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies in mayhem, I believe is what it's called. I haven't seen anything new on it. I have no clue what it is. If it's going to be an animated type of movie, is it going to be real? Is it going to be more geared towards the earlier?
00:31:09
Speaker
I want to make sure I use the correct word here. It looks like it's going to be like a CGI type thing. Hopefully better than Michael Bay. Oh yeah. It's already looking totally way better than Michael Bay's.
00:31:24
Speaker
You know, it's, I feel like the Turtle fans are, you know, just chill out, right? Just let Seth do his thing. Okay, we love Seth, okay? I think it's gonna be good. Yeah, he's not gonna, he's 80s baby too, you know, he's funny. Let him do his thing. I know people are concerned.
00:31:48
Speaker
Okay, I'm a huge Donatello fan. I give zero fucks that he's wearing, Donatello's wearing glasses again, like, pairs. I mean, they're really trying to emphasize that he's the brainy one of the bunch. This is cool. They're really pushing towards teenager voices, that the turtles are going to be teenagers.
00:32:09
Speaker
So that's cool. And then there's like light talk of Michelangelo might be a fan of the marijuana That's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say there has to be I'm not sure what this movie's gonna be rated
00:32:24
Speaker
I'm just going to dare towards the maybe PG-13-ish. Yeah, I'm curious. I don't have a problem with it. I think it's hilarious. Supposedly, he's the party dude, so let him be the party dude, right? Why are you stripping off of that?
00:32:46
Speaker
You saw the trailer for Super Mario World, right? Yes, yep. Okay, so it looks like Super Mario World is appealing to children, but some of the, you know, the language and the jokes and the goose eggs to
00:33:03
Speaker
you know, giving homage to the older Super Mario World games. Like, that's all for adults, right? That's for us. So I'm wondering if the Ninja Turtles is going to have that kind of deal where the new heads and the old heads can find a common ground on liking the movie. Because I feel like the way the Super Mario World trailer is, everyone is going to adore it from all age groups.
00:33:31
Speaker
I don't know if you can do that with a pothead in Ninja Turtles, but I'm not concerned about it. I'll say this, if it's one thing that Seth Rogan can do, it's definitely appeal to the older and younger crowd, especially with movies like Superbad. He was a part of Freaks and Geeks, that show, too, which dealt with being a teenager and stuff like that.
00:33:54
Speaker
I think he'll, you know, I'm intrigued just to see like what this version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is gonna be like, if he's gonna really focus on those.
00:34:05
Speaker
different personalities, like really hard. Like if Michael Angel is going to be a party dude, like full on party guy, like drink, maybe, maybe have some alcohol. I don't know. Maybe show up drunk. I mean, they're curious, you know, they're all having fun. I mean, I would love to see that part, like where
00:34:27
Speaker
you really can not just use your imagination, but see it on screen and relate to those personalities. I think it would be cool. I feel like Raphael is going to be like, you know,
00:34:39
Speaker
obviously he was like kind of sarcastic in the original movies, but I feel like this is gonna be like real, like he's gonna go full on like, just be a complete douche bag to everybody. Okay, so you need to have a complete like New York accent, and then how come the other brothers don't like- Yeah, that's weird. That was kind of strange. They all need to have some kind of, you know what I'm saying? Like if they're all from New York, then they all need to sound like from New York. I mean, Raphael can be a little bit more gangster than the rest of them, because he doesn't care.
00:35:08
Speaker
like they should be like a maybe a borrowed age like one's a brooklyn turtle one's a bronx turtle one's a uh yeah right that'd be that'd be interesting i'm actually i actually can't wait to see what uh what they do but um another thing i want to ask is donatello why i mean i i had a i had a theory that it was mainly because of cori feldman but i could be wrong because you're like
00:35:37
Speaker
Maybe Corey Feldman's voices because that's what's when I hear Donatello I don't think of anyone can play Donatello I can hear any voice actor even in the 80s like the the cartoon it's Corey Feldman just sticks in my mind and voice etched in my mind forever as Donatello So it's been Donatello since 1987 I went to the toy Retro toy con in South Carolina a couple months ago where I got to finally
00:36:07
Speaker
meets all of the voice actors from the cartoons, the original ones. When Barry Gordon said, hi, this is Donatello, I almost melted right in front of him, which was awkward because his wife was behind him. I mean, the way that I was just like stargazed, and I do not get that way with celebrities, like I do not care, but Barry Gordon,
00:36:35
Speaker
Which is adorable, 87 or however old he is. I was like, that is my guy. It's always been Donatello, always. I have just, when I sit back and like think about, you know, really like why
00:36:53
Speaker
Um, it wasn't just like the color, you know, everyone's like, oh, you're a chick. So you just like the color purple. No, I've always been an athlete. And, um, you know, my, my time was always consumed with sports after school, um, even, you know, during school. And so I was not like the smartest kid, right? I wasn't dumb. Like I was like a B average student, but
00:37:21
Speaker
I was just an athlete. I was just good at, any sport you put me on, I will figure it out and I will be one of the top athletes. But academics, I just get bored. I've got like ADD and stuff like that. So I think I was, it started off with just really wanting to
00:37:44
Speaker
relate to someone that could figure it out mentally all the time. I just thought that was so cool. This dude is so fucking smart. I really wish I could be that smart. And yeah, I started to gain attraction for nerds and everything.
00:38:04
Speaker
Didn't really work out the way you think it was because they were always be intimidated by me, but I was just I love you know someone that can you know just
00:38:15
Speaker
be smart and can figure out stuff and just not have to be so forceful physically, everything that
Family Bonds over Ninja Turtles
00:38:22
Speaker
they do. So it's, yeah, it's always been Donatello. Cory, Cory Feldman is dope. Don't get me wrong. I'm not throwing shade on that. I, of course, I love Cory, but Barry Gordon, his voice, you want to figure out a way to take me out? I mean, get Barry Gordon to sing me a song and I'm there.
00:38:45
Speaker
So anyone out there, if you could do a Donatello impression, send a voice message in our DMs, and you might have a chance there. Yes, I will respond right away. Right away. No, that's awesome. And you did mention your brother too earlier. Is he part of this collecting and stuff like that?
00:39:12
Speaker
Is he full on it with you or is he kind of like, you know, he's kind of tolerates it. See, it's different for him because he, um, he's trying to be polite. Um,
00:39:32
Speaker
I'll just say they have limited space in their home, right? And his wife may or may not control what he can bring into the house. So he has limited space. I will say this though, his passion for Ninja Turtles and his turtle choices, Leonardo, is just as intense as mine is.
00:39:59
Speaker
And he recently has decided to change careers. And so he has more time on his hands and he's just now starting to hop on the social media, you know, train with collecting. Cause he's like me, I really had no idea. I honestly thought that not only was I one of the few black women
00:40:27
Speaker
you know, in love with Ninja Turtles. But I literally thought I was like the only Ninja Turtle loving fan in the world up until I discovered Instagram. So Instagram really like blew my mind away. And so he's just now jumping into that world. So I don't know. You'll probably be seeing, you know, if you follow me, then you see that I'm, you know, trying to push his content as well in my stories.
00:40:56
Speaker
But I expect to see more of him. I just feel like he's now feeling a little bit more free to kind of...
00:41:04
Speaker
spread his wings and see how welcoming the collecting community is, the toy community is, and of course the Ninja Turtle community. Everyone is just so, you know, awesome because we just all share the same passion, you know, one way or another. It's geeking out. And he's seeing me immersed in this world. And so he's a little jealous, but he's trying to get into it.
00:41:31
Speaker
It isn't you I mean you do if you you know you definitely if you go to like your IG page and you scroll through it is You do if you were if you are a collector in general doesn't matter what you're collecting figures comic books Whatever you and you see like a page like yours you do get like envious you like damn. I wish I had all that
00:41:47
Speaker
Look at that. Look at that. Look at that set up. Like just like just seeing that stuff. I mean, me, I'm like, I mean, I'm a geek nerd at heart, whatever you want to call it. So anything like anything visual like that, I'm always like intrigued by it. Not that I actually like want it. It'd be cool to have like stuff like it's just like just being able to see that that's that's especially like someone like you, like you said, just, you know, black woman.
00:42:13
Speaker
collecting me I don't see so that's the other thing like you don't see a lot of like black collectors I don't see a lot that's very very far like you pretty much you and then like me and then like the few people I know it like in the collective community but it's very like it's very a small group from what I seen anyway unless it is it's it is really really small I don't know I
00:42:41
Speaker
I'm about to make something up and, you know, it's just a hunch. But, you know, I just feel kind of like, you know, we've, I'm saying we, but I'm really speaking for myself just as a black woman.
00:43:00
Speaker
It took a few years for me to just be comfortable with just being who I am. And yeah, I'm female and black, but I'm also a corny ass dork. And it's okay to be me. And I grew up in a predominantly white environment.
00:43:20
Speaker
And just because of my skin tone, people were intimidated by me and thought that I was some hard ass chick. And I'm not about that life at all. You see my face. I'm too cute. I'm not with the shit. I don't want any problems. I would just rather play with my toys and stuff like that.
00:43:42
Speaker
I know that there's a lot more. I've started really trying to dive into going to more Comic Cons and meeting more Black people that are like me.
Collecting and Fandom Diversity
00:43:55
Speaker
And it doesn't have to be in the turtles, but just geeking out over whatever your thing is. I'm not into Funkos, but when I see people with hella Funkos, I mean, I respect it. I mean, that's your deal.
00:44:08
Speaker
I get it. So yeah, there's that there's there's a lot more of us. They just, you know, we're like Batman or something in hiding. Yeah. That signal to get them out. Yeah, it's it's weird, because I'll go on like tech talk and stuff like that, too. And like, screw it. I'll see like, very obviously, you know, it has to do with algorithms, algorithms and stuff like that. When you scroll through, so you might not see everything, but I'll see like a few like, like, like black collectors,
00:44:36
Speaker
But really, like, you know, definitely collect everything you see, like a bunch of different things. Like I've seen black people that collect horror, horror stuff, like, you know, horror figures of the, you know, horror, like masks and like, they'll have a whole like horror room and all that stuff. Like, so they are, like you said, they are open for some reason. For me, I mean, my own opinion is I think it's
00:45:01
Speaker
It doesn't seem like it's for a black person or it's not cool to collect or be a nerd. Yeah, it's nerdy. Hey, we're nerds. I mean, fuck, we had Steve Urkel and shit. Dude, we're out there.
00:45:15
Speaker
don't people like I think I thought Lupe Fiasco like pretty much helped us out. I thought I mean, I don't want to say say the artist firmly known as Kanye West. He pretty much I thought he was like one of those like guys, it's like a nerdy dude and no one accepted. I thought that like, that was like, it was okay. Like
00:45:34
Speaker
names like that actually helped people like me. Even Drake, he's a nerd. He's not the hardest dude ever. He's a corny dude. He's a super nerd. I figured you see guys like that be out there and show their true personalities, but it's still
00:45:53
Speaker
Kind of like a hidden thing. It's weird. I want to do something where- What do you mean there's Illuminati? Yeah, no, it's weird. It's like they don't want to be seen. I want to start something where I want to start like a black collector, not like a union, but like a crew or something like that. It doesn't matter what you're like. It could be wrestling figures. It could be, like you said, pops.
00:46:20
Speaker
TMNT, Transformers, whatever, whatever collecting comic books, whatever you want. Like just be able to like showcase your collections like because that's what people would see. That would be awesome. Sign me up if you ever do that, dude. Sign me up. I've joined, you know, like blurred stuff and all that kind of stuff. But blurred is a lot of blurs are in anime. And yeah, that's another thing.
00:46:46
Speaker
Yeah, but it's something to geek out on, but I haven't. But I did this documentary. Before I did it, this guy, he was a white guy, and he was doing a documentary on collecting. And he's traveling all over the United States, and then
00:47:08
Speaker
when he was supposed to come out my way, I had some stuff come up. So I was like, eh, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this documentary when you get out here. And he was like, no. He was like,
00:47:22
Speaker
I don't care if I have to stay out there longer or whatever, but he was like, my documentary is full of all white guys. He was like, I need something different. And he's a white guy, so it's okay that he said that. I was like, oh my God, okay. Yeah, you do need some flavor for that. Yeah, that's the other thing too. Nothing against anyone that watches anime, but I feel like the black people that watch anime is more accepted
00:47:57
Speaker
I see that a lot like it's okay for like, you know for them to like showcase their love for anime But like if right if I show my showcase my love for wrestling, it's like what the hell you yes What do you mean it's not really you're watching the animated people
00:48:15
Speaker
do powers and stuff. That's even bigger than what I watch. Anyone can hit up my DMs if you feel different, but when I go onto a podcast and mention that I'm not really into anime, it is a shit show. Dude, I'm just like, okay,
00:48:36
Speaker
When did I have to be in the anime because I'm black like yeah The funny thing is like when I was in like in high school and stuff like that I was really into anime like watching it like movie not like really serious and stuff like that mainly like I just love the art style I love the stories and stuff like that and be coming from like you know reading comic books and stuff like that I was just like really into like comic book type art I still am actually follow a lot of comic book artists and stuff like that too, but
00:49:06
Speaker
That's I mean, I kind of fell away from it I really didn't get into it kind of got into like Dragon Ball and all that stuff and then fell out of it But I mean I didn't really like you know, does it's it's like wait the culture is like way like bigger now that I was making fun of my brother for decades Is that bro, you don't even know what the hell they're saying dude and then Fucking Instagram was like no anime is
00:49:35
Speaker
ridiculously huge in numbers. And I was like, Oh, I'm the outcast. Okay, my bad. So I got to start two groups, I got to start a black collectors one, and then an anti a black anti anime group. Actually, I'm gonna bring it back a little bit because you kind of mentioned something on you know, you're on an Instagram and not seeing like a lot of video. Black collectors. Do you see like, I've interviewed maybe
00:50:04
Speaker
a couple of ladies. So there's a lady on IG called Over the Moon Salt. She does cosplay, like wrestling cosplay, and she does other cosplay. But she does her own wardrobe. She makes everything and does everything herself. So she was pretty awesome. And then just recently, there's a girl called the Pretty Fig Collector. She's in California as well. So on this show, I've interviewed three people from California. So you're the third.
00:50:34
Speaker
Which is it's strange Because I cannot meet anyone from California For I mean, it's just so everyone I meet is just like East Coast So again, you know, I'm feeling like dude, am I the only one out here? No, I mean and now she's she's awesome. Her name is Tia her real name. She said it on the show She said it was fun to say it but she's awesome. I mean definitely I mean definitely reach out to her She's like she she actually has like her own like there's a
00:51:04
Speaker
Psych called ringside collectibles that sells like, you know all wrestling figures and stuff like that. She has her own code and she posts all And stuff like related to figure collecting so I interviewed her just because of that cuz she's Taking like, you know as a female in there in the collector realm like she's you know using Like what we're doing now with like tick-tock and stuff like that like all those like, you know All those like the voiceovers and all that stuff, but she's relating it to collecting which I which I thought was pretty awesome. Yeah
00:51:34
Speaker
And the other person from California, which is kind of like a close friend of mine, his name is Figure Kingdom. He's a photographer, a figure photographer. He does pretty much mostly wrestling because he works with a lot of like, he works at Mattel and jazzwares and all these other companies. But he does other figure photography as well. And, you know, he's awesome too. Like, I mean, there's a lot of great
00:51:57
Speaker
a lot of great people that you can network and find. Yeah, I mean, God, it's just, I just often I feel like I'm in a bubble and the people that you know, hit me up on my DMS mostly, you know, they're just
00:52:13
Speaker
fans, they're not collectors, right? Not just fans of me, but just fans of Ninja Turtles. But they're not like collectors. So I'm just out here in the West Coast, just, you know, feeling. Like I said, just like scrolling through Instagram, I think you were like a suggestion or something like that from someone else. Instagram? That's how I found you. And I was like, holy crap. I was like,
00:52:42
Speaker
This, I was like, this collection is insane. I was like, but then, you know, obviously I didn't start the show yet. Um, so I wasn't really looking to like interview anyone or anything like that. I was more like a fan. I was like, holy crap. I was like, there's another one. And like, with, you know, when I, when I met, uh, when I met, uh, Sheena Chick Foley back way back. Oh my God. How many years it's been now? 2017, 2016. Maybe I started following, following her account and then like becoming friends with her and stuff like that. And.
00:53:10
Speaker
Eventually doing a podcast with her. Like she was like the only woman I seen collecting. Like she was the only like back like in early, like I said, 2015, 2016, she was like, you know, posting like her wrestling figures and like posted wrestling stuff. And I'm like, there's a one that I was like, there's an actual woman out there. That's like, that's still watches wrestling. Like what the hell? And she collects actual figures like, you know, just that was intriguing enough. And then, you know, just becoming friends with her, like I said, so on and so forth. But then like then see you.
00:53:39
Speaker
and then seeing the Pretty Fig collector. So what I'm getting into is, do you see a lot more women collecting? Because I see a lot of comic book women out there, too, that have comic book shops and they post that type of stuff. So are you seeing that across your social media travels? Or no?
00:54:02
Speaker
I have to search for it. Not across my feed, but on TikTok, people send me... I did not send out a PSA that said, help me find other female collectors. For whatever reason, people are just like, oh, here's a female. She's cool. You should check her out. But inside, I'm like, well, yeah, thank you.
00:54:28
Speaker
Instagram reels, right? I'll come across collectors, but not on like just my feed where, you know, where they're just pushing suggestions. I don't get, um, female collectors. I'll get female gamers. Yes. We'll get into that. You know, also something that I'm into and another thing for a while that I felt like I might be the only woman, especially black woman on earth that plays games. Um,
00:54:54
Speaker
And then discovering Twitch and all that kind of stuff and seeing, I mean, they've got black girl gamers and all types of crazy stuff. It's amazing. But essentially, the long way getting to it is I...
00:55:07
Speaker
Yeah, I have to be in a mindset and be like, okay, I'm going to search for some females to stalk and see if they want to be cool because it's just not, at least for me, it's just not being pushed in front of me yet, which is kind of odd because
00:55:25
Speaker
with the way that my social media platform is set up.
Gaming Interests and Preferences
00:55:31
Speaker
I think my groups, my target group audience is pretty solid, but I'm just not seeing it. I'm seeing a lot of huge white gamers, but they've got massive accounts.
00:55:46
Speaker
You can't really connect with most people that have massive accounts, right? They're massive. I want to talk to the smaller accounts like myself and get to know them. And I think this year, the coolest thing was when I went to Comic Con, Granite State Con,
00:56:14
Speaker
in Massachusetts. And yeah, and just having people come up to me and being like, holy shit, you're Queen G. Not the fandom part, but the fact that we knew each other from social media and
00:56:30
Speaker
We're all in here loving and geeking out on Ninja Turtles. I just thought that was so cool to meet these people on social media and then meet them in real life. I would love to do more of that, but with females. And then, you know, all females would be awesome. Black females would be great. You know, that would be really cool. Yeah. Maybe in my future.
00:56:53
Speaker
Yeah, no, I that was the other part. That's definitely something I want to jump into because I see that you're as far as, you know, video games and stuff like that. Definitely a big retro gamer. I noticed as well. So yes, and I actually know it's funny. I'm not sure if you know how AI works and social media and all this stuff. I actually caught a reel of someone showing that on the game Duck Hunt.
00:57:19
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you know that you, the second controller can control the duck? I did not learn that earlier this year. I'm like, are you serious? I didn't know that either. Why did they keep this type of, was it in the instruction manuals and we just weren't reading it? I mean, I, but I haven't tested it yet. Have you tested it? I haven't tested it yet, but I think it would be pretty fun to like,
00:57:47
Speaker
actually play the game with two people now because obviously you played with one person but if you have a person controlling the duck
00:57:52
Speaker
Like up, down, left, right, and you know, move it around so you can't, I think that'd be pretty cool to try out. But yeah, no, definitely, I mean, I don't have a console, an NES console. So you could check it out. I mean, if you, I mean, I think you have one, which you probably do. Cause I see you have the power glove as well. I do have the power glove. Yes. Yes. That beautiful piece of trash, but I have it when I needed to have it. That reminds me of the movie, uh,
00:58:22
Speaker
Was it the wizard, it was called? It was an A to B. The video game prodigy kit. The power glove was like the big finale. It was a holy grail, essentially, for video games. It was like, holy crap, you can actually get cool stuff with your hands. And nowadays, it's just like that.
00:58:43
Speaker
But I mean, still though, when you see the power glove, regardless of, you know, it wasn't the best, but it's, it really was like, not everyone could get, you know, the power glove. A hot commodity. Yeah. Nope. My parents went buy me one. And I was like, I don't understand. You know, my dad was like, the controllers aren't broke. Why do you need a new one? Exactly. Bro. They were a lot tougher back than the controllers. Nowadays you can like,
00:59:12
Speaker
I mean, I smashed a few of my day out of frustration, especially the early PlayStation ones. They are so frail and flimsy. Like if you whipped one across the room, it was gonna shatter like glass pretty much. That is the reason why I stopped playing Madden for a while, because I was just throwing controllers across the room like it was nothing. Well, there's a video that you have that I seen,
00:59:40
Speaker
It's like a, I think you go on like your, uh, your page and you can see like a clip of you playing mad at somebody, but you dominated though. Like, Oh yeah. What dude was talking mad shit. He wanted to beat me on my stream. So I was like, no bro. And, uh, yeah, that game is one of the few games that I,
01:00:05
Speaker
I will say a lot of things, I guess is what I say. I'm not a sore loser. I take L's all the time, but there's something about Madden. I think it's because I love football.
01:00:20
Speaker
if you're like, let's say you have a receiver, you know, your receivers going out, you know, like you're stressed. So you you have a wide receiver on the Y button, but you fuck around and press A. So yeah, that kind of stuff, because my brain was like, Oh, we about to get this dub, but my fucking hands, right. So
01:00:40
Speaker
I just be like, that game will stress me out. I had to stop playing it because I was just buying new controllers. My brother and I, we would always rage. We used to play Madden since like 92. And that was the thing when we got home from school was playing Madden. And we had to be very careful. We had a pillow. We put pillows on the floor so we could chuck the controllers at the pillow because if we threw it across the wall, our asses were getting whipped. We weren't doing that.
01:01:10
Speaker
But yeah, I, oh my God, I love sport games, but my heart is really in, you know, retro games, the games that we grew up on. Oh yeah, definitely. What year did you start playing Madden? Is it more recent or was it back, way back? Oh yeah, well, God, I don't know if you consider it way back. I want to say I quit like in 2008. Okay.
01:01:37
Speaker
I had a game, I threw a controller across the room and I almost hit my dog and I was like, you know what? This is getting dangerous. I posted a video on my Patreon. Somebody asked me about one of my worst dates.
01:01:56
Speaker
one of my worst days was going over to, you know, this dude's house and he wanted to play Madden and I whooped his ass. And yeah, and he essentially kicked me out at gunpoint to get out of his house. That should have been my lesson right then and there and stop playing that game. But
01:02:15
Speaker
I quit in 2008, like quick quit. And then last year I started to dabble back in it because I do miss the competitiveness and I miss football. What other sports games do you play besides that? Do you like? I used to play wrestling. My brother got really good at.
01:02:37
Speaker
a wrestling game, Super Nintendo. And that was when I quit because you would murder me. I don't play basketball as much. I used to play basketball. I think I stopped playing basketball after NBA Jam. Oh, geez. That's a while ago. Baseball, I'll play baseball. I like baseball. I still play baseball games to this day. Yeah, it's pretty much just baseball, football.
01:03:05
Speaker
i was i adored like fight night stuff like yes i got it yeah i actually own that on the xbox so hard i mean i mean now they look like but back then those graphics i love it it's a
01:03:24
Speaker
The Fight Night champion, I think it is the last, the latest one you can buy. The very last one that they had, the story mode. The last dude is the hardest. Were you ever any good at Mike Tyson's punch out? Yes. Yeah, I was good at that. I was garbage. So on Fight Night, me and my friends, we used to go on Xbox Live when the 360 was around.
01:03:50
Speaker
So we used to play against each other, play fighting and stuff, but then we'd go online, right? And we would play against people, but each round we would take the controller.
01:04:00
Speaker
So every time, obviously it was one person playing, but we all played differently. I was more like a defensive counter puncher. My friend was more aggressive with a sound like kind of like stalking down. So each time, each round, we'd all just switch controllers. So the person on the other end's like, how the hell is this dude adjusting? What the hell?
01:04:24
Speaker
We used to get so many, he's have a surround sound and we just, we didn't have like the headset and so you could hear like the audio, dude, we'd get so many.
01:04:33
Speaker
Just so many profanities thrown at us, like, what the hell, how did you do that? And then we'd just be all laughing like, oh my God, there's more than you. There's one, there's only one, I thought there was one person. You're like, nah, it's three of us, dude. That is crazy. That's a good idea, though. Imagine doing that with Madden? That's a good technique. Imagine doing that with Madden, because everyone plays Madden differently. Yeah. Yeah, someone might be doing that on the other end, you never know. They could be, someone never like, really, you know, you get this person and then for some reason, the next play,
01:05:03
Speaker
It might be someone else Yeah, I wonder really catfishing on Xbox live Sorry to you kind of you know scare you with that but it could be happening on the What's your out what's your favorite console right now that you're playing right now is it oh guys well
01:05:31
Speaker
At this very moment, it's actually Nintendo Switch. If you had asked me like a couple months ago, it would have been Xbox. I fell hard into RPGs and mostly, you know, exclusive Nintendo type stories like Fire Emblem and stuff like that.
01:05:56
Speaker
I adore Octopath. I was playing that on Xbox, but I travel quite a bit. And the Nintendo Switch is easier for me to travel and to keep playing my games. Yeah. Other than that, I have Xbox and
01:06:12
Speaker
I don't know what the deal is. I'm not a PlayStation gamer. Everyone tells me I need to be a PlayStation gamer. I don't have beef with PlayStation. I just, I don't have space for another console when I'm playing basically the same damn games on the Xbox.
01:06:34
Speaker
I'd go to my friend's house to play PlayStation exclusives. I really want to jump into those whole God of War thing and rack it and clank or whatever the hell, those type of games. The Last of Us, I would love to, but I'm not going to buy a PlayStation for it. Yeah.
01:06:52
Speaker
You know, I play Xbox. But yeah, my go to really right now is Nintendo. And that's basically mostly because of traveling. Yeah. I'm traveling every month now. So I love Nintendo. And then, you know, I keep telling people, dude, I'm loyal as fuck. Okay, so I have been a Nintendo girl since 19, what, 89. Okay, so you can't tell me shit about anything else.
01:07:17
Speaker
Fuck Sega. Fuck Sega. Sega came out and was trying to, you know, try to bump Nintendo off the thing. Where is Sega now? They're gone and you can play Sega games on a Nintendo. So, you know, it's one of my flaws. I'm too loyal. You won't ever catch me playing Sega in my house. You know, PlayStation came in and did the damage with Nintendo as well. So maybe I hold a little grudge against PlayStation, but
01:07:46
Speaker
Yeah, I'm a Nintendo fangirl all the way through and through. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I was the same way. I never never had Sega. That was like my my cousin and stuff like that. They were the Sega Sega people. I was always Nintendo through and through all the way all the way till I mean, I don't have a switch, but I wish I did. But that's probably going to be my next thing because I do have an ad. I mean, it's it's it's a nostalgic at the same time. But that's what you grew up with is is Mario's
01:08:15
Speaker
It's never gonna go anywhere like not going anywhere. He'll be around You know princess will be around Luigi will be around like they'll they'll all be they'll be around forever. They're not they're not going anywhere Yeah, they're iconic Is this one of those things like you said the especially with the movie coming out? That's gonna be like that's gonna push it even more forward actually You know what? I want to bring it back to the movie real quick side of my friend hates the fact that Mario does not have The signature Mario voice and it's Chris Pratt just doing
01:08:45
Speaker
Chris Pratt as the, it's basically Chris Pratt instead of Mario. And he eats it so much. Yeah, okay, so I have mixed feelings about that. I think, I respect all of us older, you know, fans that wanna hear, you know, woo, it's a me, a Mario. Yeah, yeah. But do you really wanna hear that for two hours? No, not either. Do you really wanna hear him say that for two hours? And I also think,
01:09:11
Speaker
I didn't get to quite get to see the little tweets and stuff like that from the guy who voiced the original Marios. I'm not sure that he was asked, but at the same time, I mean, you gotta think about this. This is a movie that's coming out that is touching base on childhood memories. And they only got one shot to do this right.
01:09:40
Speaker
What? Two? Do we have two Mario movies before? And they were both kind of like... So we got to use a voice still that can cater to a mature audience.
01:09:55
Speaker
and a younger audience. So I'm not a set about the Chris Pratt thing. Yeah, it would have been cool if he had a cameo in there and did some stuff, but I'm not sure for the level
01:10:12
Speaker
I guess a maturity of the movie that his voice would be a good fit. I mean, listen, I mean, look at the other characters. I mean, Princess Peach is the chick that plays her from, you know, the chess game and all these dope gangster ass movies. He's just a fucking savage, you can tell. She's not gonna be fucking around with a dude that's got a high ass voice, right? So I think, yes, everyone just chill out. Let's see the movie first and then, you know,
01:10:42
Speaker
say what needs to be said. I do. I do love Charlie Day as a as Luigi though. That's perfect. That's it. That's Rogan is Donkey Kong. I mean, come on. Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's good. That's I mean, yeah, he was he was going out here like a whole rant on like, why why do you even try to do like an accent or try to do like change his voice up a little bit? I'm like, I don't know, man. I can't I don't know. I don't know what the I wasn't in the in the beatings when they were pitching this movie. So I have no clue what they were doing. But I could see is I could see his pain.
01:11:12
Speaker
you know, if it's just, you know, Chris Pratt as Mario, you know. They also took away Mario's ass. Did you see that? Yes. Yeah. That was a big controversy on the social media. Is that really a big deal? Are they going to like... It wasn't to me, but you know, I guess, you know, they want to see that Mario with that ass.
01:11:41
Speaker
It's just like, really? This is a problem for us? OK. Yeah, they did. Yeah, we're not going to get to see Mario with a thick with two C's. Sorry. Sorry. It's not happening. And that happened on his back, dude. Yeah. But what I'm surprised is they didn't really cater to how they did with the Sonic movie. I mean, they had that first trailer of Sonic the Hedgehog, and it looked awful. And he had Cuban teeth and everything.
01:12:11
Speaker
Actually like went back and changed the movie like they changed like it was actually better that they did it But I don't see them doing that with Mario. They're not gonna get Give him a BBL before the movie start Just make sure the thighs man, yes, you can have straight legs and then yes have like hips after you actually at least at least
01:12:36
Speaker
Something. I'm not hating on the BBLs, by the way. I'm just saying. It looks better when the thighs match. Yeah, no, exactly. So yeah, Mario, whoever's doing the Mario movie, yeah, if you're listening, make sure everything's in proportion. Make sure the thighs match. We don't need any potatoes with like two picks on the bottom or anything like that. We don't need that. But anyway, so for, you know,
01:13:07
Speaker
I see that also with the, you know, I know you have that Twitch channel and I see that you were playing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. What the hell is the title of it? It's all the greatest hits. Cowabunga Collection. Yes, yes. I couldn't think of that. It has the Nintendo game on there. Oh my God. I get nightmares looking at that game.
01:13:36
Speaker
So the cool things about that coming out is they have a PC mode where if you get stuck at a certain part in the level, you can click over and the computer will take over and it will show you how to get past where yours is.
01:14:00
Speaker
Many of us who are traumatized by the first Ninja Turtle game and got stuck wherever we got stuck, the water levels are just going to the damn bathroom. Oh my god, a super level. I never got past it. I did my career right there for a... You can now play that game and have the computer help you out. So we don't have to be traumatized by this game anymore. Oh, it's good to know. Oh my god.
01:14:23
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you technology for doing that. I wanted to buy it. Yeah, I wanted to buy it. I know it has the arcade game and stuff like that too, but that Nintendo game, right when I see that, just the screencaps of it, I just had horrible flashbacks of my childhood. And I was just like, the sewer level, I just couldn't get past it.
01:14:47
Speaker
It's so hard. It haunted me forever, and I'd never want to go back and play it. If we really go back and think about it, a majority of the games released by Nintendo were just crazy hard. Yes. Yeah, that's true. For whatever reason, I think it's because that's all that we had at then. Yeah. It became a staple of our lives and a favorite, but not a favorite, like Battletoads. Dude, Battletoads is
01:15:14
Speaker
I love Battletoads. So damn hard. I adore that game. It's one of the first games I think about with Nintendo. I love it. But when I go back and play it, I'm like, why? This game is hard as fuck, dude. It's so hard. I love it. I love all Battletoads. Yeah, it's crazy like how games like nowadays are like, not that they're easier to play or easier to like, you know, maybe they I think they are actually easier to like, you know, complete than they were back
01:15:41
Speaker
back in the day, they were just like, I was not completing games. I was okay with being that gamer that started a game and never finished it. And now I'm like, you can beat this game. I mean, you can beat it.
01:16:02
Speaker
If I beat a game in the Nintendo days, dude, I was the shit, right? But that didn't happen very often. These games were just so crazy hard. And then on top of being hard, sometimes we had continues, sometimes we didn't. So if you didn't beat it in your first three lives, it's a wrap. Yeah. Same thing with Mario, too.
01:16:30
Speaker
you'd have to like literally stay up all day to try to beat Mario. The first Mario game. Yeah. Cause you couldn't, you couldn't stop it cause you'd have to start over again. Yeah. There was no saves. You weren't saved. I posted a reel about that and I thought it was funny, but I guess a lot of people had flashbacks, you know, like a trauma and it was basically me saying,
01:17:00
Speaker
My brother left the Nintendo on all night trying to save the game, and then I shut it off, you know, just because I was pissed off at him. Oh my God, the comments that came in. I was like, first of all, you don't know what my brother did to make me want to shut it off, but...
01:17:16
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, we'd have to put like a jet magazine in front of the power button so that my dad couldn't see it, the red light was on, because it was on the red light on, right? You just gonna be like, oop, shut it off. Oh yeah, we're not, are you paying for the energy bill? No.
01:17:33
Speaker
You know, and then my brother would leave the Nintendo on all night to save a, you know, a part in the game, because there were no continues. And so I just go and shut that bitch off. Like, oh, I'm playing tomorrow. Oh, my God, it's so heartbreaking. Oh, my God, auto saves and, you know, all kinds of stuff. So yeah, back down if you you know, you delete your account or something like that, you can
01:18:00
Speaker
sign in and it all comes back again. Yeah, we're so lazy. I need those autosaves. Oh, no, definitely. Yeah. I mean, waiting for a save or like anything like that is just like, especially, I mean, obviously a lot of games now they do autosave, but I like to do manual save sometimes too, just to, you know, I can't wait for the autosave. Yeah, I'll do my save just in case the autosave don't hit.
01:18:29
Speaker
especially with games like Grand Theft Auto, that type of stuff. You do a whole mission. It takes you like an hour to do a mission and then you don't auto save it. You gotta go back and do that whole, dude. You gotta do it again. Yeah, no thanks. Dude, we don't have that much time. Life is short and there's not enough time in the day if you're trying to do other stuff, work, work out, do whatever, spend time with family.
01:18:58
Speaker
Yeah, no, we don't have time to keep repeating levels. Oh, definitely not, no. That's not happening. I wanna move on to, what are the other interests besides, you know, collecting? Like, what piques your interests? Not a whole lot, dude. I'm pretty simple. You said besides collecting, but I started collecting retro consoles.
01:19:26
Speaker
Uh, cause I'm into retro gaming, but I mean, other than that, like when I think about what I want to do with my time and the minimal free time that I get, I try to be in here and playing a game. Um, it's going to the gym, uh, working on myself. Actually, yes, I do have something.
01:19:45
Speaker
I have, it kind of goes into collecting though, but I started dabbling more into reading comics. I don't make enough time to read during the day and yeah, comics isn't a whole lot of reading, but there's just so many stories out there.
01:20:11
Speaker
feel like as a gamer, as a Ninja Turtle fan, as a retro fan, that some of these stories I'd like to know about that I hear people talk about and I can't participate in the conversation because I didn't read the fucking comics. So I've started reading comics.
01:20:31
Speaker
I am collecting all of the original Archie Ninja Turtle comics that are similar to the cartoons. But I am also reading the newer comics, the IDW comics, Saturday morning comics. I read The Last Ronin. I'm trying to learn more about Jenica and her whole story, the female Ninja Turtle.
01:20:56
Speaker
Um, but I'm not collecting those. So they don't count in the collection, but it is an interest of mine that I'm trying to make time for. Uh, cause I want to know what, you know, what's going on in these Ninja turtle universes and stuff like that. Yeah. The last one is an awesome story. If you definitely, yeah, definitely take the time to read that. That's like, it's, I never thought I would see like something like that at all. Like where, you know, yeah. And we didn't need it, dude. Like it's like, it's, it's so good. It's like, it's.
01:21:26
Speaker
Like depressing it's like a depressing story. It's like everyone's dead Bad story I'm actually getting ready to do like a brief reel on that because people Ask me so much. Yeah, you know, what do you think about the last
Exploring Storylines: Ninja Turtles and Marvel
01:21:44
Speaker
round? it is something that I haven't posted about so I don't dig off in their ass when they asked me but um, I
01:21:51
Speaker
Okay, so I grew up in the 80s. I'm in love with the Ninja Turtles. Why is it difficult for people to see that I'm heartbroken to read a story where they all die? I'm not a fan of that story. I am a fan of the creativity. I'm a fan of a different story. Yeah, it's like an alternate story.
01:22:21
Speaker
And because of that, I want to start reading more of the, you know, some of the other IDW comics because they're darker, they're, you know, more mature. And again, you know, my personality, dude, I laugh at everything. I've cracked jokes, you know, I'm just bubbly. So this is different for me seeing the Ninja Turtles in that kind of kind of light.
01:22:46
Speaker
Yeah, but I'm open to it. I'm open-minded to it. I read the last Ronin. I respect the story. I'm gonna read the Sequel which is the prequel I guess that's coming out. I'm gonna read that and Yeah, I mean I guess at some point we got to grow up right so Yeah, I mean that's the other thing when you see like like are you into like any like the Marvel?
01:23:11
Speaker
like the Marvel Cinematic Universe or DC, what they're doing, stuff like that. Have you followed? So, you know, like I see movies and stuff, but...
01:23:20
Speaker
Um, and I like him as far as getting into the stories. Honestly, I feel like I'm so far gone that I can't catch up. Um, I'm in what's going on. Maybe at some point, uh, you know, maybe I'll jump into some comics and stuff like that. But I feel like with all these movies, they keep coming off and there's spin-offs off of spin-offs off of spin-offs. I don't even know where to start, dude. I'm just lost.
01:23:47
Speaker
Well, I mean, the good thing on Disney Plus, if you have that, is they have a chronological order of the movies. Do they have that in order, really? Yeah. So they'll do a chronological version of all the movies, and then they do a theatrical release version, which is basically how they were released in order, because they kind of jump around.
01:24:10
Speaker
Right. Yeah. But they did a, there's a playlist of all the movies in in order that they all go together. Yeah. So they all go like so like the very first movie is Captain America, the first Avenger. So that's where like technically
01:24:25
Speaker
the whole thing starts. So it's Captain America, then Iron Man, Incredible Hulk. So it goes down that way, and it kind of pieces it together. But if you were to watch it the theatrical way, it still pieces together, but it kind of takes you back a little bit to, it takes you back to catch up. But yeah. I've been talking to my homegirl like, what? And she's just like, just wait till you watch the next one, y'all understand. I'm like,
01:24:50
Speaker
Okay. I mean, I mean, the good thing is, like I said, if you watch them, it's gonna take a while because they're like all like five hours every movie. But like, it's, it actually helps if you watch it in chronological order, because then you, you, you know, you get it a little bit better. It's like, Oh, okay. So Captain America was the first person that they, you know, they came to for the Avengers team, and then so on and so forth. And then you see how Thor got added to it. And you'll see like, Nick Fury, who was Samuel Jackson,
01:25:18
Speaker
start recruiting everyone at the end of each movie. So that kind of makes sense. Okay, yeah. I'm seeing him show up at the end of the movies. I'm like, who is this dude? So he's, yeah, it gets a little bit more deep, but he's like, you know, he's kind of like the guy that kind of pieced all these different people together, like Captain America, Thor, Scarlet, and Hawkeye, and all these different people. But that first phase of movies is like insane. Like you, I mean, the second phase, isn't that great that they're doing like the TV shows and all that stuff?
01:25:47
Speaker
But the first set of it is awesome. Definitely watch that. Which I was trying to say, there's a lot of depth in it. That's what I was trying to get to. Like you'll start to see these characters die. And it's like, you kind of get used to it. Like the characters that you've seen all these, it's a 10 year, it was a 10 year like storyline that they've been doing. So at the end of it, you get to see, you don't want to see it. Yeah, I got thrown into like the end game and I was like, what? Such a sad movie.
01:26:16
Speaker
Spider-Man, I mean. So they're all gone gone for real gone. Well, yeah, like Captain America's gone. Iron Man's dead. God damn. Black Panther's dead in the cinematic universe as well. Like they didn't continue on with like, they didn't put a new person into play him. It's, you know, he's gone. They had a funeral. Wow. So they're not popping up in another movie. Like, hey, just kidding. I mean, supposedly they might be doing like timelines and jumping around and, you know, you know, dealing with, you know,
01:26:45
Speaker
time travel and all that stuff but who knows that's that's what they usually do like DC does that they have like alternate universes where there's like multiple super bands and multiple back it's a little crazy I I haven't been able to follow as much as I want to but I'm gonna follow when they redo the DC universe which is what they're doing now they're kind of like rebooting everything so
01:27:05
Speaker
I'll follow along with that, but other than that. Oh, well, that was very helpful. I'm going to- Izzie Plus. Definitely helps you out. Do you watch any other genres of movies? I get you into horror, action.
01:27:18
Speaker
Do you watch movies? Do you care at all? Yeah, if it's not a Ninja Turtle, I give zero fucks. What the hell? Yeah, I'm not into horror, right? I do not like being scared. I don't like that shit. I won't play video games. I played a video game on stream one day. It scared me. I was like, no.
01:27:45
Speaker
I don't like shit jumping out at me. I don't like a lot of gore.
Entertainment Preferences: 80s Nostalgia and More
01:27:50
Speaker
Yeah, I'm like a big sissy chick on that stuff. Yeah, I'm not into gore. I like action movies. I'll watch action movies.
01:28:02
Speaker
And comedy. I like comedy. I'm not really a huge romance type of chick. Just give me a bag of Ninja Turtles and we can get it cracking. I'm simple. But yeah, I don't really follow anything specifically. Just comedy and action, I'll watch it. Drama every now and then, if it's cool, if it's a good story.
01:28:31
Speaker
But I'm not hopping around looking on Netflix to find a new drama series. It just has to get my attention. I don't know. I'm watching them.
01:28:42
Speaker
which is interesting, kinda. I'm watching, damn, Alice in Borderland on Netflix, which is essentially, it's a different kind of like the squid games, you know? It's the same type of premise. They're playing games to save their lives, but it's more of a world instead of,
01:29:09
Speaker
them just being thrown into like, you know, this arena type deal.
01:29:14
Speaker
I don't like that type of shit, but I like it. I love squid games. I adore squid games, yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. It wasn't really gory. It just kind of sucked. People were getting killed, but it wasn't cutting legs off. So I'm watching Alice in Borderlands. I was watching She-Hulk or whatever, but it's got some comedy in it. So that worked well for me.
01:29:43
Speaker
Yeah, I'm all over the board. I can't tell you. Do you like Stranger Things? Have you watched that at all? I haven't watched Stranger Things and I think it's because I tend to get messed up when people hype something up so much that it just turns me off.
01:30:05
Speaker
I don't want to classify myself in a group of bandwagons, you know, like, hop in. I did that with Game of Thrones. I haven't seen it. See, I never watched Game of Thrones. Breaking Bad. I saw it 10 years later. And I love it. I love Yeah, I love Breaking Bad. See, I thought it was great. But I didn't watch it when it came out. And I think I'm gonna give Game of Thrones a shot. Just because I tried. I couldn't get
01:30:33
Speaker
Okay. That's me anyway. That's just me. I watched the first episode and I was bored and people were like, uh, you got to keep going. So yeah. Stranger things though. Uh, it's more kind of sci-fi. Um, I think you would like it because it's, you know, it's set in the eighties.
01:30:51
Speaker
There's a lot of references to little literally like it's almost that whole show is nostalgic It's like literally the guys that actually wrote it made it like that on purpose. It's really I did not know it was said in the 80s Yeah to the 80s. It's like the first season is I want to say 80s 5 or 86 It's something like that. So like there's a lot of like, you know references so like it's it's literally that's like watching the past it's they reference a lot of like 80s movies like the goodies and
01:31:19
Speaker
You know our movies and stuff like that like Freddy Krueger and all that like a lot of the episodes are like Like they kind of like copied a lot of that stuff to kind of like bring that to the forefront. There's a it's it's really good I mean, I love it and they did a they actually they did a crossover with you probably seen him
01:31:35
Speaker
They did figures. They did a Stranger Things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover, which is very weird, first and foremost. But if you read the back of it, they give a story, a synopsis of what happens. It'd actually be a pretty cool animated cartoon if they ever went forth with it. But yeah, I think they put Eleven with, I want to say Leonardo. And I think they put Hopper, which is the other good guy character with
01:32:04
Speaker
Raphael, because they're kind of like the same, you know, angry people. Yeah, there's two more sets coming out. But yeah, I love, I'm a stranger things fanatic. I like the books and all that stuff. I'm like, I'm in. I love it. Oh, it's a book as well. Well, they have like, they have graphic novels and stuff like that. They have like, they have regular like, you know, chapter books and stuff like that. But they also have like, you know, behind the scenes books, which I have.
01:32:31
Speaker
and stuff like that just to give you a little bit more. Oh no, I love it. I love strangers. Because I guess I did like me being an 80s kid, it just brings you back to like those times. It's like literally like, I'm telling you, if you watch it, you'll just get sucked in just for the pure nostalgic fact that it's in the 80s. It doesn't even matter about the sci-fi, you know, aliens and all that stuff. It's just the actual like
01:32:53
Speaker
the language that they use, the rotary phones you see, the yellow phone on the wall with the cord, all that stuff, it's awesome.
01:33:02
Speaker
I will definitely check that out. Yeah, I did not know that it was set in the 80s. I definitely, you know, I'm definitely more welcoming into my heart if it's got like an 80s theme. Did you ever play like a Guardians of the Galaxy that came out a couple of years ago? Yeah. Yeah. Dude, every time that he would flashback, you know, to the 80s and then play like that type of music, I mean, I was like, oh,
01:33:30
Speaker
What happens to us? Yeah, you'll see a lot of that stuff. And that's the other thing I loved about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Guardians of the Galaxy and how that references, because everything he knows is from the 80s. That's all he knows. He doesn't know anything else. He left Earth during the 80s. Right. So he's stuck in that time. But they actually did a Christmas special. It's a Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special on Disney Plus.
01:34:00
Speaker
And they actually go back, I think they like, they go and kidnap Kevin Bacon, apparently, because he's like, that's all he, so Star-Lord, Chris Pratt, remembers
01:34:13
Speaker
Kevin Bacon from the movies as this savior of this town that he danced and helped this town. Yeah. Oh my God. Is this on Disney Plus now? Yeah. That's what he remembers. He was a kid. He doesn't know Kevin Bacon's an actor. He knows Kevin Bacon from Footloose and how he danced. And he saved this town from this evil sheriff and all this stuff.
01:34:39
Speaker
They go and kidnap him to, you know, bring him back to the, you know, entity, obviously freaks out because it's alien stuff like that. But the other, but, uh, Guardians of the Galaxy, uh, the first movie, that's how he, he, he beats the bad guy at the end. He actually dances and he sings just like Kevin Bacon did. So it's like, kind of like a reference to the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, which was pretty cool. But yeah.
01:35:01
Speaker
That's super cool. Yeah. So yeah, I've got to give you these like little like homework. Thanks. I don't have anything to watch. I love that. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to teach you up right now. And then like, give me some.
01:35:16
Speaker
Oh, yeah, definitely. But, um, I think that's I mean, I think this might be it. I think that's all I that's all the questions I had. I don't have anything else. Is there anything pretty good? Yeah, no, I wasn't expecting it to be this long. But I mean, like I said, this is there's a type of show if you listen to my show, it's like it could go. I think the longest episode I do is two hours. And that was with Sheena and her husband, Seth.
01:35:40
Speaker
the co-hosts of the Chick Foley show along with myself. It was mainly just to like bring them on and like, you know, talk to them about their, you know, how they met, you know, how they, cause they've been married for like, I think almost, I think they said almost like 20 years or some crazy stuff like that. High school sweethearts. Like it's stuff like that. So like, I asked them about like, you know, how they met in high school and you know, like what they were like in high school and all that. Like, and I asked them about like, you know, relationship advice. What would they would say to like someone get married or someone that's in a really, that type of stuff.
01:36:08
Speaker
It was a cool conversation because we're always talking about wrestling and figure collecting and all that type of stuff. So it was good to hear human stuff because they're married a couple, they have kids and stuff like that. So it's good to hear that type of stuff from them being together so long and them being able to shed that type of knowledge and stuff like that.
01:36:29
Speaker
That was the longest episode because obviously we have a report, so we're going to talk. My thing is I could talk to anybody or I try to anyway. I think you just proved it. We're going at almost like an hour and 40 minutes right now for a conversation center. Yeah. He's just geeking out over stuff. I love it. Definitely would love to have you back on if you would be so obliged to do so to talk about other things and definitely connect offline.
01:36:58
Speaker
try to get that black collectors thing going. That's what I definitely want to get something like that going. Yeah, sign me up. I am here for it. Yeah, anytime. Well, not anytime, but you know. You're a busy woman. I know this for a fact. Definitely. But yeah, definitely plug whatever you, all your socials, whatever you have going on.
Social Media and Closing Remarks
01:37:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I'm simple. I'm the Queen G22 across the board. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. Yeah, the Queen G22. Holler at me unless you're on some Sega or Leonardo shit. I don't want to. Yeah, definitely. Definitely have to get your Xbox Live gamertag. I would assume it's the same thing.
01:37:52
Speaker
Is it? Yeah. I believe so. Yeah. Or it's on the same thing where that clip is of me doing it. Oh, owning that dude on Madden. Yeah. I was like, you know what? I mean, now that you're kind of getting back into it, I haven't played in a while, so I might have to... I'm at the challenge. I'm at the challenge. Yeah. Let me practice. What's your team? Who do you like to play with?
01:38:17
Speaker
Oh, see, I'm also very loyal. And so I have been a Baltimore Raven fan since I went to school there in 2000. So
01:38:26
Speaker
Yep. I see that. Me and Lamar Jackson. That is it. Nice. Okay. All right. All right. So actually before you go, do you have a, you said you like football. Do you have a favorite football team? Is it the Baltimore Ravens or is there another? I don't know. I don't have a favorite football team, but I favor the Ravens. I was a Oakland Raiders season ticket holder, but now that they are no longer Oakland. Yeah. Really?
01:38:59
Speaker
I'm in Northern California, right? My mother is a huge 49er fan, but me, not so much. She's been one for decades. She's been through ups and downs. Never been a Niners fan. Yeah, I'm in Northern California.
01:39:18
Speaker
I don't feel any kind of way against LA teams or anything like that. But yeah, you'll see me cheering for Baltimore whenever they get themselves back together. Obviously, I live in Massachusetts. I do love the Patriots and stuff like that. But as a kid, I was a fan of the Raiders. Really? Yeah, because of Bo Jackson. Oh, well, that's fair. He was my favorite athlete. I mean, he still is my favorite athlete of all time. But just because of him, I just got into watching the Raiders play.
01:39:48
Speaker
That was like my secondary team besides obviously you have to do for your home team, all that stuff. But Raiders were like, I love the, I love them just cause like Bojax would dominate. If you haven't watched it, if anyone hasn't watched it, 30 for 30, the Bojax. Oh, excellent. That dude, it's like, he's like a, he's almost like, if you weren't, if you didn't know he was a real person, you would think that 30 for 30 was made up. Like the amount of, the amount of feats that that guy did that is inhumanly possible.
01:40:17
Speaker
like running from one end of a baseball field to the other. Oh, I actually don't throw it. He threw actually out at the home base from the other end of the field and he got somebody out. Like that's who does that. He was at the wall and he threw somebody out. And you know what? And that was the only team cause I wanted to play with him when I used to whoop ass in tech mobile on the Nintendo. It was always playing with Beau, always. Always. All right. Like I said,
01:40:47
Speaker
Glad to have you. This is awesome. Definitely want to have you on again. And, um, yes, hit me up. And, um, I guess you'll let me know wherever this is live, wherever. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah. Well, uh, so yeah, I think, so I think at the week, I think I said at the beginning of the show, I think Monday, uh, beginning of the new year. So you'll be the first voice that everyone hears on the, uh, on the feet. So yeah. So that's what kind of be like a,
01:41:15
Speaker
Like a time warp episode where it's...
01:41:17
Speaker
You know, it was recorded now, but you'll be hearing it next year, essentially, which is pretty cool, I guess. Heck yeah. I mean, that's pretty cool. Very cool. Yeah, it's like a time jump, almost. So if we said it, I don't think we've referenced anything from this year. So I think we're kind of, I think we might be timeless with this episode. So I think you can listen to this. Yes, and I can say then, 2023, since we will be in the new year, I'm very excited that both of those movies are coming out.
01:41:45
Speaker
Mutants in Mayhem and Super Mario World. So, hence the Super Mario World at Universal Studios is opening up in February. So really cool stuff. I mean, me being also a Spider-Man fan, the Spider-Man, and so the Spider-Verse movie is actually coming out the second one. I think, yeah, so that's coming out next year as well. So definitely watch that first one. It's a great animated movie.
01:42:15
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, this is great. I want to keep you on longer, but I don't want to... I mean, it's getting pretty late on my hand over here. It's almost... Oh, yeah, it's 11 o'clock. Yeah, it's 11 o'clock in my hand. But I do it with all the East Coast homies, so I'm always knowing what time it is. Trust me, my co-hosts are in Tennessee, so like I said, I'm always up late if we have to record.
01:42:41
Speaker
10 o'clock at night sometimes, all the way to 12 midnight. So I'm used to it. All right, well, get some rest. And thank you so much for having me. It was a lot of fun. Thank you. All righty. I'll talk to you later. Later.
