New Year's Eve 2021 - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #128
On this New Year’s Eve episode, Hanako and Lorrie get caught up and just shoot the breeze for a few minutes to ring in the New Year. They talk about Lorrie’s reaction to the final two episodes of Hawkeye, and discuss a little bit about how the pandemic has tried their patience (Hanako is currently on Covid-watch while waiting for test results after a possible exposure). Also discussed is the anticipation for the final season of A Discovery of Witches (which is due to premiere January 7), and the lack of (or lack of their knowledge of) POC-based groups and fans of fantasy-based shows/books that are usually discussed on the show, such as ADOW, Cursed, Shadow & Bone, etc. The episode cuts as 2022 rings in on the East Coast. Happy New Year!

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,900
What's a pirate's, welcome back
to another episode of The
2
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:30,900
Phantom hybrid podcast.
This is hanako and I am here
3
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,800
with Lori and we are just
talking about anything.
4
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,800
Hi, guys.
It is New Year's Eve.
5
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,400
I am on covid whites because I
may have been exposed.
6
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,400
So I'm stuck in the house
waiting for test results and I
7
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,700
was like, I just want to get
online and just talk about
8
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,200
whatever for like half an hour
45 minutes before.
9
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Before the new year kicks in and
we haven't had a chance to have
10
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Lori on the show for a couple of
weeks because she's been dealing
11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,900
with some family things.
So you know, I just want to get
12
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:08,200
on here and talk with her and
see what she thought about the
13
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,500
last two episodes of Hawkeye.
And we've got some other stuff
14
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,500
that's happened.
Unfortunately Betty White passed
15
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:21,400
this morning. 99 years old, I
was mad, I'm like two weeks.
16
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,100
But you know what?
Wars Jedi thing, right?
17
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:27,700
I did not.
What was it?
18
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,400
Oh, they're saying because her
last name was white, she has the
19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,400
white light saber.
And then she, they already
20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,100
ghosted or in and then the other
one is a Lord of the Rings.
21
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:38,500
Are there saying that she said
no, no, Satan.
22
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:41,300
Not today, got up and went down
up to Mordor.
23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,200
I didn't see that one.
You know, I was sad about it
24
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,200
when I heard about it this
morning because I was like
25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,400
really on New Year's Eve.
Like really, that's how we're
26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,500
going into.
But I thought about, I said, you
27
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,500
know what?
No No, that's not how we're
28
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:00,800
going into 2022 is how we're
ending. 2021 is already a shitty
29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,200
year.
I mean she just kind of wrapped
30
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,000
it up.
It was going to be a bad year
31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
regardless and now we don't like
I would rather it be.
32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,800
That's how we ended a crappy
year rather than that's how we
33
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400
begin a new year fresh.
That's true.
34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000
So that's true.
No, and she lived ninety.
35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Nine years like what's your
acting was planning?
36
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Birthday celebration like me,
you can't really be mad shit,
37
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:34,500
you know, I think I saw a quote
somewhere where someone said
38
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,400
make sure that you have lived
your life so that if you died at
39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,600
99 people will still be like wow
you know that's too young you
40
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,100
know, or something to that
effect.
41
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,600
Well they said she was old old
enough.
42
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,000
She thought it was.
I think right?
43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,500
It was around.
Somebody said she lived to be
44
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,300
old but she He didn't live old
enough to to not be young or so.
45
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,200
I think I was Ron Howard who
said that?
46
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,300
I think it was a Ryan Reynolds
quote.
47
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:05,000
I just I just saw that and it, I
mean it's just I was just
48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,800
floored, but I was mad because
they I just saw last night or
49
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,400
the other night on Netflix that
they had cute at they were going
50
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,200
to do like a special for her
birthday and stuff.
51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,000
And, of course, you and I both
know that well, including March
52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,300
sister, the oldest of the family
that they're all excited because
53
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,800
in Chicago It's April.
They are having the very first
54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Golden Girls convention and they
were going to do a zoom meeting
55
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,300
with Betty White and what's the
channel that has all the the
56
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,000
reruns for Golden Girls.
They heal and heal and they
57
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,700
automatically through on a
Golden Girls marathon and I
58
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:48,500
think tomorrow is going to be
nothing but not Barney Miller
59
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:51,400
but the other one.
Mary Tyler Moore.
60
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:53,900
Okay.
Mary Tyler Moore 17.
61
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,000
Yes.
Okay.
62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,500
But I thought that was cool.
That was not.
63
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,800
That was cute.
Now, let me tell you right now,
64
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:07,200
I am watching this horrendous
CNN New Year special with
65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen
and it's a hot mess.
66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,700
I'm sorry.
It just is they keep showing
67
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,800
this one.
Dance troupe from Harlem and
68
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,400
they're they're doing these
weird Coming to America, dance
69
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,000
moves and stuff.
It's like the second third.
70
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:27,400
I mean show them are already had
two shots because that's the
71
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,100
thing they take shots.
So Aires is already halfway
72
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,800
drunk, a me: it's like it's a
party.
73
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,700
They interview, pay LuPone.
They just interviewed Katy Perry
74
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,200
look like she's had a lot of
plastic surgery.
75
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:44,400
I'm not feeling it.
Feeling it at all, I don't
76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200
really.
I got out of the habit of
77
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,200
watching a lot of the New Year's
specials a few years ago like
78
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,500
every once in a while I'll tune
in if they're having good.
79
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,000
Oz.
But even some of the
80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
performances, I'm just kind of
like, no.
81
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,600
I just rather be sitting here
watching geek stuff for I think
82
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,500
last year last year, for 2020,
going into 2021.
83
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,500
I actually spent time doing a
zoom call with members of sci-fi
84
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,400
Party Line podcast, which is the
podcast that I really got my
85
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,500
start on.
And that was kind of what gave
86
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,600
me the idea of this one, because
we did that for, like, maybe
87
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,300
three hours last year, we were
like, okay, you know, It.
88
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:27,600
We can't go anywhere because
it's still covid.
89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Let's just get on and just shoot
the shit and you know, everybody
90
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,200
had drinks and we had on our
little decorative, New Year's
91
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,100
Eve stuff and it was fun.
And it was like, okay, I can do
92
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,700
that this year but of course, I
didn't get any decorations
93
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:45,300
because I wasn't expecting to
have to be quarantining.
94
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:49,300
So, you know, you think, oh, I
have time to go do that.
95
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,200
I have time to go do that.
So I'm sitting here with no
96
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,300
wine.
No.
97
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,800
Nations.
I'm like, oh this just sucks.
98
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:57,800
Okay.
Okay.
99
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,700
We were friends about what 11
years stuff like that.
100
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,700
Yeah.
You know me, right?
101
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Yep.
Again I'm going to preference
102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,300
this.
If you are a single black woman
103
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,600
or if you're a very black woman,
beginning of October, go to
104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Trader, Joe's, and buy a case of
wine.
105
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,700
Keep it.
And I know I but you know, I
106
00:06:15,707 --> 00:06:18,800
don't really keep alcohol in the
house because I don't drink like
107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,400
that, right, right.
No, I have various health
108
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,000
issues.
I have, you know, diabetes.
109
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,500
I have high blood pressure.
I have early stage kidney
110
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,400
disease so I don't drink like
that very often.
111
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,700
So I just, I've never been one
to keep alcohol in the house
112
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:35,800
like that.
And then also like, when my kids
113
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,200
were growing up my ex-husband
and I we, you know, that was one
114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,600
of the things that he wanted, he
didn't want alcohol in the
115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,300
house, round the kids, which I
understood and no problem with
116
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,200
that.
My dad was an alcoholic, so it's
117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,000
just certain different little
things.
118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,800
Like, I'm not one of those
people that just grabs a, you
119
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,700
know, No, a drink whenever but I
was like, I don't need to have
120
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,700
it in the house because it's
just why.
121
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:04,300
So, yeah.
So like, I keep, I keep a case
122
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:09,200
for two reasons.
One because of covid, I learned
123
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,400
early on that, especially in
California, you can't get
124
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,700
anything, you could get it now.
Like, last year.
125
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:20,100
Yeah, it looks weird.
Look, my husband you love this
126
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:23,900
story.
It was June a ghost.
127
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
A 2020.
Now my husband's 54 years old,
128
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,600
he was 53 52, whatever around
that area like 2020 and they had
129
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,000
told us that Walgreens which is
like 100 feet from my house.
130
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,900
That you could be a senior, you
can get toilet paper and paper
131
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,100
towels.
One each between the hours of
132
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:49,100
8:00 and 9:00 fewer senior
rights, that great walk-in was
133
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,400
waiting for 9:00 they're like,
oh no, we know you, you come in
134
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,600
so he snuck in there.
Got toilet paper and paper
135
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,200
towels and wipes.
And that was the only toilet
136
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,900
paper that we had.
Besides what I had had we gotten
137
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:07,500
to like August.
Let me tell you what got me
138
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:10,600
through the toilet paper crisis
of last year.
139
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,900
So, right before covid, hit?
Right before covid.
140
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:20,500
We actually switched from the
regular, you know, pull toilet
141
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,700
tissue to one of those little
boxes where you Pull out the
142
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:27,800
toilet tissue and it comes out
where my Square.
143
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,500
So we had a whole bunch of
toilet tissue in the building
144
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:38,000
that we no longer could use
because we didn't have the, you
145
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
know, the the dispensers for it
anymore.
146
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,400
So they sent it home with us,
they were like, okay, we can't
147
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,400
use it, take it home so you can
use it.
148
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,100
That was what got me through the
toilet paper crisis because I
149
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:57,100
had like two shelves Elves of
single roll of toilet paper
150
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,100
sitting in my bathroom.
That's the only thing that got
151
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,100
me through.
I believe it fine.
152
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:06,700
Toilet tissue here.
Probably until I think it was
153
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:09,100
August before I could actually
buy sell mine.
154
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,400
So I summon.
So what?
155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:17,300
I tell you that, I now I use
instacart a lot and I use Amazon
156
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Fresh, you know, this, because I
just don't want.
157
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,000
I was already using these
Services because I don't want to
158
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
go to the store.
I just don't like Just or so, I
159
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,600
have everything liver.
Let me tell you, they did two
160
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,700
things.
That saved my life.
161
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:33,100
Last year.
One you could shop at Costco
162
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,100
without having a membership,
which was awesome because you
163
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,400
can border they would bring it
second.
164
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,100
They they did the best thing
ever.
165
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,400
They drop Target as a as a store
because Target was sort of
166
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,000
crappy.
Okay, Walmart's?
167
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Oh okay.
Oh my God.
168
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,500
Everything in my house.
Now, says, Great Value.
169
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Great Value this It value that
great.
170
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,300
God look, what it was September
or 2020 when they added Walmart,
171
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:03,200
I was like, okay.
When I got the money together, I
172
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,100
told Marcus is I want you to
ignore the the credit card for a
173
00:10:07,108 --> 00:10:09,600
minute.
I got a Costco order.
174
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,300
It it copped out like I think
600 bucks toilet paper, paper
175
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:18,100
towels paper plates laundry.
This that the guy brought the
176
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,100
stuff up to me because I live on
the second floor.
177
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:26,400
Hmm, he hostage me To give him a
bigger tip because he said, and
178
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,300
I quote, you ordered too much
stuff.
179
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,400
I'm like bitch please I ain't
got nothing in this house.
180
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Oh y'all he refused.
I of course recorded him.
181
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,400
He literally he told me he said,
you ordered too much stuff and
182
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,400
I'm like, excuse me.
There's no careful what you can
183
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,600
and can't order.
He said, yeah, well, it was,
184
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,600
this is my fifth trip up here.
I'm like, I haven't had supplies
185
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,500
this house since.
Like, when the thing started,
186
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:54,800
I'm getting my supplies.
He said, well, I uh, We deliver
187
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,700
it.
If you increase now mind you
188
00:10:56,708 --> 00:11:00,300
your tip is 5 and 10 percent or
whatever, I chip 10% because I
189
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:03,300
know people my nephew's all the
they do stuff so I know what
190
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,800
they are so he made me give him
a 20% tip for you.
191
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,700
Brought me restaurant.
Stuff fee.
192
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,100
Yeah.
See, you're not supposed to do
193
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,400
that and I know this because I
used to, I used to do instant
194
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,300
instacart deliveries.
I don't because people here
195
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:23,300
don't tip I was like, is it's
just too much but oh that people
196
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:26,700
canceled Stukas it because I
don't think to last lecture
197
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:31,100
about not so much this year but
last year people were getting
198
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:35,100
their stuff promising.
A larger chip because they knew
199
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,000
we were hit and then they would
go in and they would cancel the
200
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,800
kit.
We have.
201
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,700
Yep they do that.
I've had that happen before.
202
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,000
People are just people just
assholes about stuff like that
203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,900
but you know but this is for it
now because you know, people who
204
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:54,300
are in jobs where tips are
required, they're Going out
205
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:57,100
finding better jobs because they
don't want to deal with the
206
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,700
show.
Let me let me, let me tell you
207
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:01,700
these people.
I was crack it up.
208
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:05,500
These people this year.
They I think they said not told
209
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:08,000
her that the biggest number of
people quit their like four and
210
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,800
a half million.
I'm sitting there going, really,
211
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,300
they're leaving their jobs and
then the other thing is that
212
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,400
you've got a lot of people
especially in the industry I
213
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,400
work in where if they're under
40, they're basically Saying
214
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,900
screw you.
We're going to go to a company
215
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:29,500
that has this this and this, so
they're losing people.
216
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:32,300
Yeah.
And for me, I'm like, well, I've
217
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:33,800
been in my job x amount of
years.
218
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,500
I've got x amount of years, you
know, I'm looking at retirement,
219
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,200
you know, eventually.
And I'm like, I could not
220
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,400
imagine walking up to my ball.
Say you know what Deuces?
221
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,900
I couldn't do it.
But speaking of Deuces, I
222
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:49,800
watched all of Hawkeye episodes
one through five with my
223
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,800
husband, watched Hawkeye the
season finale.
224
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:59,600
Last week, I think it was.
Yeah, and his rankings are this
225
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,100
last half of one division.
Hmm.
226
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Falcon, aware soldier.
Okay, Hawkeye.
227
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,700
Oh, what is low-key?
Okay, that's his.
228
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:15,700
He actually really enjoyed the
last episode episode 3.
229
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:17,100
The one where they did the trick
arrows.
230
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,500
Yes, laughing hysterically,
thought it was funny.
231
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:24,500
He basically told me that he
believes that What we saw with
232
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,000
our guy was probably one of the
better ones.
233
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,100
The only thing that edged out
was the last two episodes of One
234
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:32,900
Division.
Mmm, is he just thought that?
235
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:34,600
Because he likes the vision.
He just saw this awesome.
236
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,100
He said, and I agree with him,
that it was fun, it was
237
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,000
delightful.
He like a whole Kingpin with the
238
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,200
little graphic in the background
thing, which was cool.
239
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:48,800
He's never been a Hawkeye type
of a person but we were talking
240
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,300
about different Hawkeye
storylines.
241
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,800
He was like, well name me a few,
so I was giving him a few.
242
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,800
Tiles.
And then I brought up something
243
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,700
that I'm thinking about doing
for my birthday episode for this
244
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:02,900
fixed coming year, okay?
Like okay, that's interesting.
245
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,800
I'm still playing around with
it.
246
00:14:04,808 --> 00:14:07,000
What are the things that they
did about 10?
247
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,900
12 years ago?
Is that Marvel Comics?
248
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,300
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
249
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:17,900
Wait, wait, CNN has Regina King
talking to Andy and Anderson and
250
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:19,200
Jack.
Hey, just popped up.
251
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:27,900
That's awesome.
Oh good, everybody's Jackie but
252
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:33,800
so basically what they did is
they did a series called Old Man
253
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:38,400
Logan which is what the Logan
movie is based upon and that's
254
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,500
50 years in the future.
The villains have taken over
255
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,700
America has been carved up like
The Hunger Games.
256
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:47,100
All I districts and stuff and
basically one of the main
257
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:51,500
characters and Old Man, Logan is
Hawkeye and Hawkeye at this
258
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:55,000
point is blind.
He's with Kate Bishop who's the
259
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,400
new Hawkeye and he delivers a
crucial package of weapons and
260
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,500
Memphis, and to Wolverine to
finish his story a lot.
261
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,900
So they did a sequel called Old
Man, Hawkeye and his 12 issues.
262
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800
And I'm thinking about making
that my episode for my birthday,
263
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
us doing the graphic novels
issues 1212 old man, okay, where
264
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,600
it's a prequel.
And it said about five years
265
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400
before when he realizes, he's
Going blind, Kate comes and
266
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,000
helps him and he said, various
children were very Speedy.
267
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
I won't spoil because I want you
guys to read it, right?
268
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
But basically it's what gets
them to the point where he is an
269
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,100
Old Man Logan.
Okay, right, okay.
270
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,600
Well I was mentioning that to
him and he was like, okay.
271
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,000
So I went on, I went on a couple
of different places I went to
272
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,200
tomorrow's press, I went to
various places, I found enough
273
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,300
copies of the books and stuff
like that, so I'm thinking of
274
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,100
what I'll do, send them to you.
You guys real.
275
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:57,600
But the thing is that when I
went on there, there was a lot
276
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,500
of Marvel stuff, fly these, he
stuff, but there was only really
277
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,300
two Hawkeye, graphic novels
additions there.
278
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:10,600
Really, which I thought was
interesting because when I went
279
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,700
through because I spent a good
half-hour just going through.
280
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:14,800
Everything is Young curious.
See what they got?
281
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,300
Don't have and there is some
lucky stuff.
282
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:22,300
There is some caps that they do
have the Sam.
283
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,700
Wilson Captain America, graphic
novel, they do have a couple of
284
00:16:26,708 --> 00:16:31,500
Visions stuff but it was like,
okay, well, what are you guys
285
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:33,900
going to get this?
What are you guys going to get
286
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,800
that?
Because those Paper Stock is
287
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,000
limited because what they do is
they get the stuff and they only
288
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,100
have enough for what they feel
to send an email out.
289
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,100
So my thing was okay, well, I'll
go to college and get a
290
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:52,600
digitally digitally, you have to
have the Marvel app and they Go
291
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,000
through that, but there isn't a
lot of imprint Hawkeye stuff is
292
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,600
based what I'm saying.
I was very surprised when I
293
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,300
actually went looking that I
couldn't find it a whole lot.
294
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,700
You know, I said this on the
show and I think I've said this
295
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:10,700
several times even, you know,
where we've discussed stuff just
296
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:16,300
as friends before the podcast.
I've always felt like Oh my God,
297
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:20,200
you should hear the fireworks
that are going on in my
298
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,099
neighborhood right now.
But I've always felt like
299
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:30,900
Hawkeye is one of the most
underrated characters not just
300
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:37,300
as an Avenger but just in the
realm of superheroes period, you
301
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:41,700
know, because of his human
status because he doesn't do as
302
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,700
much as the others or whatever.
You know we've talked about it
303
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:51,000
but I I really enjoyed the show
you and I felt like it gave a
304
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,800
lot of nuance to his character.
It showed him in a different
305
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:00,500
light and I felt like it really
gave us the Hawkeye that we
306
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:05,000
needed to see in The Avengers
movies and then you know the
307
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:09,100
relationship with him and Nat.
We got to hear a little bit more
308
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:12,900
about that in the show and
everything so I enjoyed that.
309
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:15,200
Now I don't know if you've had a
chance to listen.
310
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:18,800
Into the episodes that we did
when you were missing.
311
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,700
But did you hear us?
Give you your shout outs for
312
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:25,500
what you said about Eleanor
bishop and I think, no, I
313
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:29,300
actually, I actually wanted
water in stock trades is where I
314
00:18:29,308 --> 00:18:31,500
went for the graphic novels.
Okay.
315
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,100
Okay, I've just drunk just
enough.
316
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:38,900
They could remember, no, I
actually I haven't listened to
317
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:44,000
anything since I think the 17th
or so.
318
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,300
Okay.
Because you've been dealing with
319
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:47,300
family because I've been dealing
with family stuff.
320
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:50,600
So this is a record for me.
This is the 31st.
321
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,800
I haven't listened to a podcast.
I had to listen to an audiobook.
322
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,200
I've listened to anything since
we started Christmas Vacation.
323
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,900
Wow, that is a record for yeah,
yes, so we gave you your
324
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:07,400
shoutout, I think Mike's screen
name was Laurie, was right?
325
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,300
So, yeah, we we had a lot of
fun.
326
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:15,000
Talking about those last two
episodes, especially that last
327
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,100
set.
So because so, but seeing
328
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:20,600
Kingpin though, the way Kingpin
is supposed to be that was so
329
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,400
much fun but see here's the bad
part I'm sad because now
330
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,400
Eleanor's been taken off the
board so to speak.
331
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,000
Quote unquote, unless she comes
back at Echo because I really
332
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,400
enjoyed it but I didn't feel we
got the evilness of her quite
333
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,400
enough.
You know, I agree with you
334
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:42,200
don't, you know, one of the
things that I'm wondering is,
335
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600
you know, I know that was
supposed to be like a series
336
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,700
finale.
But I'm wondering if they're
337
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:50,800
going to give us another season
of Hawkeye, you know, maybe for
338
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,900
the tape Bishop stuff and if so
maybe they'll bring Eleanor
339
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,300
back.
I know that I've read some
340
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:01,600
articles where people have
taught to like the show Runners
341
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,900
and said hey you know the fans
want a Hawkeye season 2 and of
342
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,000
course they're being Mom they're
like oh that's great to know
343
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,900
that.
You know that the desire is out
344
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,500
there for it.
But of course if it's happening
345
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,900
they're not saying You can get
or where we may see, Hawkeye
346
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:22,900
again, but well, I I agree with
you but I think the thing is, is
347
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:28,200
that they might be waiting until
like mid-January to announce
348
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,100
stuff because they have full
debt coming up for the year
349
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:35,900
because you got She-Hulk, you
got Echo, you've got Naomi,
350
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:38,800
you've got the Miss Marvel
stuff.
351
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,400
They have a full deck plus, of
course, I haven't seen it yet.
352
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,100
The book of Boba Fett came out
the other day.
353
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,500
Yes.
It did haven't seen that yet on
354
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:54,000
Netflix and I I'm sadly only on
season one but Cobra Kai came
355
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,800
out today and that's it.
Okay, and everybody loves Cobra
356
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,400
Kai.
Now, here's my problem because
357
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,100
I'm we call our vacation shut
down because my job is a
358
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:07,100
factory.
They shut down the last the week
359
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,200
between Christmas and New
Year's.
360
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,800
So we have some time off.
I want to be stress and I had
361
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,800
all these plans because I
haven't finished in summer,
362
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,500
haven't finished the 100.
I haven't finished Supernatural.
363
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:18,600
Don't judge me.
I haven't finished all this
364
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
stuff, right?
They finished Kim's Convenience.
365
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,700
I got all this stuff stack.
What do I do?
366
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,500
Yuri, watched what I'm on?
I'm in the middle of season 7 of
367
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:34,100
Arrow.
Did you start back from the
368
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:38,400
beginning?
Okay.
369
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:44,300
So that's horrible.
I almost did the same thing with
370
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:47,700
a different Series so you know
that they are coming out with
371
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:50,700
the Teen Wolf movie Next Year?
Yes, I know.
372
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:54,400
I heard that.
So they started a Teen Wolf
373
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,800
re-watch at the beginning of
this month and I saw and I was
374
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,500
like, I really want to do this
because I've been like I started
375
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:08,300
a Teen Wolf re-watch last summer
when shutdown started, right?
376
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:11,100
And I think I only got through
like the first half of season
377
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:14,700
one because then all this other
stuff started happening and then
378
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:18,700
I started getting in my mind oh
maybe I should do a podcast.
379
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:21,700
And then, you know, everything
just kind of ran away from me.
380
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:26,900
But I was like, I should do a
Teen Wolf re-watch and I forgot
381
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:30,300
who was one of my friends was
like, So, have you watched The
382
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:32,000
Witcher yet?
And I was like, not yet.
383
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,100
And I just finished that
tonight.
384
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,900
That was Stronger, that either.
Oh yeah, season 2 was good.
385
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:43,200
Start that or I haven't finished
but let me let me let me tell
386
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,900
you ask me because you're my
friend and you know me ask me.
387
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:50,300
I decided I needed a palate
cleanser between watching so
388
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:51,600
much Aro.
Guess what?
389
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,500
Show I started watching a
bonfire episode.
390
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,800
Tell me you started watching.
Vampire Diaries.
391
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:05,600
How did I know I watch the last
piece all over again is on just
392
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,600
back.
Oh my God.
393
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:19,600
That pissed me off.
Not have her little slow
394
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,100
because I've been doing a lot of
cooking and you could pause
395
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:36,700
Netflix and what it does.
You know, it runs commercials.
396
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,300
I'm trying to find the proper
name because that then sends a
397
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,200
stuff that you were watching
intends.
398
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Oh yes.
So okay.
399
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,700
Okay, Conoco I'm trying to find
it here I saw a commercial and
400
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:51,700
I'm going to add it because it
just looks so good.
401
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:58,100
It's called the Glamorous
impossible concubine and it is a
402
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:03,400
Korean series romance about this
girl who's like a royal
403
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,400
concubine.
And they got all the old-school
404
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,200
costumes.
Mike is called the glamorous and
405
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,600
possible culture.
And I'm sitting there going, you
406
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,700
know what, I'ma watch the heck.
You know what, I need to hit the
407
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:19,200
lottery because there's way too
many things coming out that I
408
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,000
want to watch and I don't have
the time.
409
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,600
So, so this week, I finished
with the Punisher.
410
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:31,200
Okay, I finished that yesterday
season 2, and Charles from
411
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,900
sci-fi party line.
He was like, don't watch season
412
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,000
to I'm like, I already finished
it.
413
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:37,800
He's like that girl.
Got on my nerves.
414
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,300
I was like, yes, she was a bit
much there.
415
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:42,300
Were a couple of characters in
season two.
416
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:45,800
That I was just kind of like
why.
417
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:48,800
But other than that, it was, it
was great.
418
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:54,600
I just Ben Barnes and Jon
Bernthal, were just so fucking
419
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000
amazing in that show.
I don't know why it took me so
420
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,600
long to watch it but I'm glad I
finally got through it and then
421
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,200
like I said, I finished season
two of The Witcher but yeah so I
422
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,700
got through those Shows I was
like, okay I'm supposed to start
423
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:15,600
watching Arcane witches and
anime series based off of a few
424
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,200
of the characters from The
League of Legends video game
425
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,200
series.
I think I saw something about
426
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,300
that.
Yeah, so League of Legends is
427
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:24,400
one of the video games that my
son plays.
428
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,400
My son is a gamer.
So that's one of the games that
429
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,500
he plays.
But then my daughter, he told
430
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,700
her about the show and he was
like, yeah, you just got to
431
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:34,900
watch it.
So she washed it, and she has
432
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,000
been on my case for the last
month.
433
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:38,800
Month.
Mom, when we going to watch
434
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Arcane and I kept telling her
would do it on New Year's Eve
435
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,300
because I hadn't planned.
I had a plan on going out,
436
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:45,800
anyway, I don't go out for New
Year's Eve.
437
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,600
I'm usually at home, sometimes I
have friends over, sometimes I
438
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,800
go to my mom's, but for the most
part, I'm sitting at home
439
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,900
watching TV, so that was the
plan.
440
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,100
But then she told me I couldn't
watch it without her, and she's
441
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,700
been on her insomnia, sleeping
schedule.
442
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,200
So she just woke up like two
hours ago.
443
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,600
I was like, why can't watch it
now?
444
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,100
Because I'm about to podcasts
with Lori's, we'll have to watch
445
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:09,600
it, all right.
So so I think I'm going to try
446
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,300
to watch that tomorrow and then
I don't know.
447
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,600
We've did finish.
Did you ever did you get to
448
00:26:17,608 --> 00:26:23,100
finish watching Wheel of Time?
I rewatch episode 4 this morning
449
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:26,700
we've got four episodes to go.
I'm trying to convince mark
450
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:29,300
because with the winter which
where I'm going to start this
451
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,900
weekend.
When happened with that is they
452
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:34,700
did a nice recap like a
10-minute recap of the first
453
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:37,700
season.
He's tall it He's looking at me
454
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:42,300
sideways because he doesn't
watch anything unless it's
455
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:43,700
something he really thinks he's
into.
456
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,400
So I have to ease them into
stuff.
457
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,600
So I'm I gotta the winter, I
think I have a better chance to
458
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,400
will time, but I am in the first
part of the Great hunt, which is
459
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,900
Book 2.
Okay, it's slow.
460
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,100
It's really, really, really,
really slow.
461
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:05,500
What I will say this, basically,
from what I seen and what I've
462
00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:09,700
read, It's pretty good.
I know there's something that
463
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:13,200
happens in episode 5 of people
didn't like, but whatever my
464
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,700
thing is that because I'm a book
reader and I see guy and I'm
465
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:21,500
really curious because I was
Anthony asked, Anthony a while
466
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,600
ago about the different, I said
die because they're throwing
467
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,200
stuff in from little stuff from
different.
468
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,500
Brain makes sense of the actual
series.
469
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Wow.
I'm really, really, really
470
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,700
tempted to go to The Wheel of
Time.
471
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:38,300
Wiki to Justice.
Yes I Found one, there's a whole
472
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,600
database.
Sort, of course, you did well,
473
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,100
what else we're gonna do?
But thing is that I liked it
474
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,900
enough that I do want to
dedicate some time to it.
475
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:51,700
But my thing is, is that we like
fantasy, right?
476
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,400
I don't want to get bogged down,
watching something consecutive
477
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,000
unless I know we're going to be
podcasting it because I just
478
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,100
finished the third book of a
discovery which has Because I
479
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,400
want to get ready for the
season.
480
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:06,200
Oh yeah.
I'm saving.
481
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,400
I'm saving all the stuff I need
to say, first of all.
482
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,900
Did you see the promo cover?
The artwork, the gorgeous, their
483
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:16,300
hair.
Oh, I haven't seen the, oh, it's
484
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:19,000
gorgeous.
Okay, we'll look for that
485
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,900
anyway.
They're back in modern times and
486
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,600
she's got the she's got the
Ashmore book in front of her and
487
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,300
her hair.
It's like coming up like oh when
488
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,200
she and Matthew standing behind
her, he's got to scroll on his
489
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,900
face.
And I've got Goose Bumps because
490
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:35,200
I just finished.
Book, I haven't started the new
491
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,900
book of the new series, the
whole thing, with the Marcus and
492
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:42,200
Phoebe, I'm saving, but I feel
robbed.
493
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:47,900
Because the first book, okay?
Second book.
494
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,900
Okay, there, buddy.
Oh my God, it's awesome.
495
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:55,300
Right?
So, here's my problem, women
496
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:59,400
writers.
All right books that are women's
497
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:05,400
fiction and they go into
fantasy, I'm talking about JD
498
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,700
rob, you know, the one that
writes she has In-Depth series,
499
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:12,900
which is not some mystery series
last two books.
500
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:15,300
Cramped like yes, she's 70.
She's getting up there.
501
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:17,300
She's still.
But anyway every once in a
502
00:29:17,308 --> 00:29:19,500
while, she'll write like a
magical stuff like she's got
503
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:22,200
this awesome Trilogy of books is
about three witches and she
504
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,700
wrote about 20 years ago, that's
awesome.
505
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:27,100
Anyway, she's doing a new
fantasy type series doubt, okay.
506
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:31,400
And I hope problem that, if
that's not the toe, you dip it
507
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,400
all the time.
It tends to be kind of an and I
508
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,600
get the idea that Deborah
Harkness wanted to start out
509
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,100
running a woman fiction book for
the first two books and through
510
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,000
with these elements.
And then when you get to the
511
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,600
third book, it's literally info.
Do I'm sitting there and I'm at
512
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,300
work.
And I'm typing, I'm listening,
513
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:53,300
and I'm stopping typing, and I'm
yelling at my iPod and go.
514
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,700
Why did you put this in bulk to?
Why wasn't this in book one?
515
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,600
That's exactly why I cannot
listen to audio books while I'm
516
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,000
working for that reason, because
I'll be stopping and I'll be
517
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,400
fussing and, no, I can't do it,
it's too much.
518
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,400
Well, I mean, I I work at home
right now, but when I go to the
519
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,400
office, when I have to go back
or even Before the pandemic I
520
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,300
wouldn't yell, but I would mouth
the words.
521
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:20,000
That's right with ya.
But my thing is, is that the
522
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,700
book was really intense the
first half, mmm.
523
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,900
I mean, we're talking infant.
I mean, you learn everything.
524
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,500
You learn about the Ashmore.
I'm not spoiling.
525
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:33,400
I'm just giving some hi-yah, you
learn, you learn about what goes
526
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,000
on more about their family.
You learn more about their
527
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,500
brothers, you learn about
Fernando, you know, about gal
528
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:41,800
glass.
You just get everything, okay?
529
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,200
You get to Past the halfway
point and then it goes into
530
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,400
women's fiction until the end.
I like all come on and then when
531
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,900
they get in and see, here's my
problem.
532
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,800
Because I read so much, I judge
you by how you finish a series,
533
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,300
I judged you on how you end that
last book.
534
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,200
If you're at the ball, why did
you write the other four?
535
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Five, nine, twelve books.
Yeah, we won't get into that.
536
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:17,700
In my opinion, she dropped the
ball.
537
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:20,500
Mmm, drop it.
Well, and I'm sick.
538
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:25,700
She had me until the last 40
pages and then I'm like, come
539
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,000
on.
But yeah, she dropped the ball
540
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:31,100
now.
When it comes back in January,
541
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,600
yay, I'll target market to it
all down.
542
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,300
It, don't run next.
I think that's what next week,
543
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:37,200
right?
The seventh.
544
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,000
Yeah, my thing is, is that I'm
going to be very curious because
545
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:49,200
they cannot end it was see. 73
and not give us a fourth season
546
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,400
quote-unquote with Marcus and
Phoebe because if they ended,
547
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:55,200
people are going to be pissed.
See?
548
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,500
Okay, so I'm not familiar with
the book so I don't know what
549
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:02,800
happens but I do know that
season 3 I think is going to be
550
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,300
heavy with Marcus's storyline
because a lot of the people that
551
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:12,700
they cast for season, three are
Marcus's children.
552
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:15,700
The bulk glosses that over
Mm-hmm.
553
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,600
The book, the way it is, and I'm
not spoiling, but I'm just going
554
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,100
to say, that's the way that it
is in the book.
555
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:24,600
I don't know where people get
that impression from.
556
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:31,100
Okay, but at the same time, I
can see how they would say that
557
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:34,200
because it would lead right into
the fourth book.
558
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,800
Hmm.
Now, as far as his children are
559
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,000
concerned II.
Need to read the that book
560
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,400
because I've got a lot of
questions because basically what
561
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,100
the premise is that, Matthew and
his family and Diana come up
562
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:54,400
with such a solution for
problems, and it all hinges
563
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,600
upon, whether or not, they can
pull off certain things, and all
564
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,300
of it goes around with
everything.
565
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:02,500
We've seen the last few seasons,
right?
566
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:05,400
That's being really vague.
I know it's okay.
567
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,300
But, but my thing is, is that I
feel that the way that she wrote
568
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:13,600
that in the way that they talked
about it, because you've seen
569
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,500
the coke promos, you've seen it,
you're like, oh because he got
570
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:19,500
like the one for all with the
swords and all that, it looks
571
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,700
awesome.
And the way that they even do
572
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:29,000
Sarah in the books with a very
interesting because if they do,
573
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,100
Sarah the way that she's in the
book in the show, It's going to
574
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:37,600
be really interesting on how
everything turns out because, of
575
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,100
course, you know, certain things
have happened.
576
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,200
But all that saying, I think
that I'm excited.
577
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,500
I want them to announce it,
they're going to be doing a new
578
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:49,000
series.
The actors have wrapped, they've
579
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,100
gone home, they won't be back
again.
580
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:56,600
And I'm mad because this is one
of the smartest best shows that
581
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,200
they come.
That's intellectual and fantasy,
582
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,800
right?
You know, so Right.
583
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,000
I uh, you know, I followed this
group on Twitter, they're called
584
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,900
also sisters and is basically
black females who are into the
585
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:17,100
discovery of witches series, and
the book series, and the TV
586
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:20,400
show.
They also do my Outlanders group
587
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,400
as well.
You know, because of course you
588
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,000
know those shows are mostly
Caucasian or you know white
589
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,400
people and you know sometimes in
African-American communities
590
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,500
they're like Okay why are you
watching those white shows?
591
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:38,800
Even now I hear that sometimes
not from quote-unquote I would
592
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,100
say real Geeks but I do get that
still sometimes like don't you
593
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:45,000
watch any black shows?
I'm like all the black shows
594
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,500
that most people watch deal with
Street crime and infidelity and
595
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:53,300
that's just stuff.
I don't I have no interest in
596
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,600
watching that on TV because I've
seen enough of that in my real
597
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,500
life.
So that's just one of the
598
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:01,700
reasons why I just I don't watch
it but they also see.
599
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:07,200
Stirs, I believe they have
actually already seen season 3
600
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:12,800
and I believe they have seen it
and they left comments saying
601
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,100
that it was like brilliantly
done.
602
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:19,300
They gave you know, High Praise
for the cast and the pacing of
603
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:21,200
the story.
So I'm looking forward to seeing
604
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,300
what they do.
I can't believe that it's almost
605
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,100
here, but at the same time I'm
kind of like it's going to be
606
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:30,700
over so fast, you know?
It is yeah.
607
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,100
I believe it's going to be the
standard because they've got so
608
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:35,700
much.
Yeah.
609
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:43,400
And to be longer because like I
said, is so fascinating.
610
00:35:43,400 --> 00:36:02,100
I mean
yeah, I think so
611
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:31,000
some men who like fantasy, it's
a very interesting way Has
612
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,800
either.
They're all enter.
613
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,600
They're not.
Now, I love a lot of things
614
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,000
people.
You know, I like my hardcore
615
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,200
science and a lot of people who
follow the expanse, which also
616
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,300
is out.
Now, I don't hear a lot of black
617
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:49,000
people really hyping the expense
of me like maybe to other
618
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,300
people.
Yeah, and I feel a lot of it on
619
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:53,200
my timeline either, which is
weird.
620
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,300
I mean, I know a few people who
do follow it and again that's
621
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:01,300
one of those shows that is on my
very long I need Watch this show
622
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:05,500
list but I don't see a lot of
people talking about it a lot.
623
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,200
I see a lot of people on the
regular expense.
624
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:14,700
Now the last book of the series
Leviathan Wakes came out three
625
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:16,000
weeks ago.
I haven't read yet because I
626
00:37:16,008 --> 00:37:19,200
want to finish the season.
Now what happened with that is
627
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,200
that time Hawk who are formed
James to Cory, this is two guys
628
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,600
but uses the one named James sa
Corey.
629
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,800
Basically, they wrapped up a
season six, they Did nine books.
630
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,700
So it's not quite a day,
ecology, but they are coming out
631
00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:35,500
of the novella next year to wrap
it up.
632
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,500
Problem is, is that and this is
a spoiler, you can cut it out.
633
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,000
But since I don't think many
people in this podcast or
634
00:37:42,008 --> 00:37:45,700
expanse fans, I'm just going to
say these fence jump the shark
635
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,300
because book seven.
Book H, look, hmm, they went
636
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:59,400
ahead 40 years in time, okay.
So holding Naomi all of them.
637
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:03,100
They are they were in there.
Actually 30, they were in their
638
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:06,200
mid-30s, they're now in their
60s.
639
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,500
Okay.
So they jump the story 30 years
640
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:18,100
so they moved it ahead and it is
fascinating but I question doing
641
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:21,500
that to a Series that was
supposed to have 10 seasons on.
642
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,400
The network is a originally
budget, expands for 10 seasons,
643
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,300
they got six, that's pretty
good.
644
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:29,200
Run for a show that's been
kicked off and whatever.
645
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,400
But my thing is, is that black
fantasy people aren't
646
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,000
necessarily going to translate
into into hardcore science black
647
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,500
sci-fi nerds that are in a Star
Wars aren't going to necessarily
648
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:45,300
maybe go to Star Trek, Star Trek
is, there's a lot of not
649
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:50,200
crossing over mmm, but at the
same time, I Like you, I expect
650
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,200
to see more on some of these
platforms that were on because
651
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,800
you'll see Marvel MCU stuff all
day long.
652
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:02,700
But unless you go to a straight
regular Forum, you're not going
653
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:05,100
to see a lot of the.
So I'm asking myself where all
654
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,900
my black cakes at for the
expanse, where all my black
655
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,700
Geeks for, you know, different
shows that I know they're
656
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:14,300
watching.
Hmm, I know they are watching,
657
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:18,400
you know, I mean I don't know.
We need to start finding some of
658
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,100
those space.
Cos I know that when I do see
659
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,900
some of the stuff it is, in the,
there's a black Geeks of
660
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:28,900
DragonCon page that are, you
know, they're all into the
661
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:31,500
stuff.
Now again we get a lot of Marvel
662
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:36,200
stuff there too but I think that
group is a good place to start
663
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,400
and then we probably need to
look at some other spaces.
664
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,700
I mean listeners, if, you know
of any black geek spaces for
665
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:49,500
Fantasy, you know, just all all
around fantasy books or TV
666
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:52,100
shows, drop us a comment.
Let us know.
667
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Tell us where to find these
people because.
668
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,800
Yeah, I mean for so long is, you
know, just even in my own life,
669
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,100
a lot of the things that I have
been interested in people have
670
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,700
been like, oh, you like that
weird stuff for you, like the
671
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:09,800
stuff for, you know, some people
even some people don't fool with
672
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:15,700
fantasy or science fiction,
because of whatever they feel
673
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:18,000
like it's against their
religion.
674
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:27,400
Oh, don't do it.
But yeah, I would like to find
675
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:31,400
more groups with people of
color, who are into these shows
676
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,900
to.
Because, again, we don't have a
677
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:38,100
lot of black bass, science
fiction, at least not to my
678
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:42,500
knowledge in media.
I do know that there are a lot
679
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,600
of black authors who are doing
fantasy and science fiction.
680
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,800
Now, as far as their writing,
And eventually that stuff will
681
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,100
come up.
I'm still waiting for any kind
682
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:58,100
of film news for the Children of
Blood and Bone series coming out
683
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,800
of.
Yeah, me, you know, there's
684
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:03,800
there's another book that I
picked up last year.
685
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,400
I haven't of course you guys
know I have not been able to
686
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,900
like sit down and just
concentrate on reading much but
687
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,900
um could you put some stuff too?
Yeah but also one of the things
688
00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:19,200
my best friend did I think it
was last year because Of the
689
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,800
pandemic.
She actually started researching
690
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,500
more African-American and more
authors of color writing fantasy
691
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:29,500
and science fiction.
And she actually created a
692
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:31,700
spreadsheet.
I have to find where she sent it
693
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:36,900
to me, but she, you know, she
curated a list because she knows
694
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:39,100
what I like.
She's like, hey, I think these
695
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:42,200
are some titles that you might
want to check out, so I may have
696
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,200
to find it list and share it
with you and and we'll see if we
697
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,600
can all get conversation view
one that came out three weeks
698
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,600
ago.
She's on my list.
699
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,400
I bought it and have it.
Ready to close the skin of the
700
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,900
sea?
It's by Natasha Bowen.
701
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,000
And it is a black, afro Centric,
retelling telling of The Little
702
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,500
Mermaid, okay?
It's a black mermaid story.
703
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,000
You're looking at me funny.
No, I'm like that's, that's
704
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000
interesting.
Yeah, cuz cuz you know that what
705
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,800
what?
Okay what you guys don't know is
706
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:18,300
that I'm a huge book nerd and I
hold I know that by now Lori.
707
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,300
This is to our show and does not
help.
708
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,700
That's true.
And one of the things that I do
709
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:30,400
and I'm sure it just drives them
nuts is every Tuesday, if I
710
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,500
remember it, I will literally
send them both screenshots and
711
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,200
descriptions of the new books
that come out there.
712
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:44,700
She does sto only Faithfully
every summer.
713
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,400
I'm trying to go through my list
is Specifically went and found
714
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,100
African or third world base
books.
715
00:42:55,500 --> 00:43:00,200
To tell them about.
Yeah, I found a couple of really
716
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,700
interesting ones.
I'm trying to go see her sir
717
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:04,700
problem.
When you have over 1,200 books
718
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:07,300
and you constantly add books,
you got to go through your book
719
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:09,300
list to see if you can remember
what the title was.
720
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,300
God, I've got that.
Wow, I do have all 12 books of
721
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:17,300
gal, suggests, okay.
But but like, okay, Veena,
722
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:19,300
Durant via Durant.
Bye.
723
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:21,700
Ashley st.
Armet is a.
724
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:25,600
Ya book Allah Rick retired and
Percy Jackson.
725
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:30,200
Let's see.
I mean I'm just going through
726
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:36,600
trying to look I I do a lot of
African third world.
727
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,400
There was one that I read in
Prior the sun, which is an
728
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,700
Arabic fantasy.
That is set in Old, World Persia
729
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:50,400
Iran.
Okay, Some of the other ones
730
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:57,600
that I did was a couple that
were set in the world of Joan
731
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,900
Wacker.
She joined think of Mystery
732
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:02,200
Diners name.
She wrote a book about seven,
733
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,800
eight years ago, from the genie
and the Jinn and it was about a
734
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:12,200
Syrian Jennifer heard of that
one and, and a Jewish a Golem.
735
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,700
Well, the sequel came out.
Helen Wreckers, make the sequel
736
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:18,800
came out earlier this year.
That is an awesome book.
737
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,300
Look to the other ones that I
did is I found this really
738
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:28,600
awesome Africans that set in the
sub Africa, where it's a
739
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:33,600
basically African City and the
kid and his family are Scholars
740
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:37,900
and they go through the ruling
court and it's all Africa day.
741
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:40,000
So I think that's just some of
the things that I do.
742
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,900
I look for different things that
were not necessarily the
743
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:48,800
traditional white King, Arthur
type of book.
744
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,300
That you re we associate with
fans right?
745
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:54,200
Right.
Gotcha gotcha.
746
00:44:54,500 --> 00:44:58,000
Well, we are actually going to
wrap this up because it is now
747
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,000
midnight here.
It's New Year's Day and I have
748
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,600
people calling me to wish me
happy New Year.
749
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,200
