Dadless Podcast Group Ep. 39 - HD Goes To Comic Con!
We reflect on how gaming has evolved and remains a comforting constant, much like a warm, familiar blanket. Our discussion is seasoned with personal insights unraveling the lasting impact of video games on our identity and community and the deep personal connections they create.
We'll also hear about a first-hand Comic-Con experience and spontaneous connections over shared passions. We also celebrate the empowering sense of belonging that nerd culture provides. Memories of collecting cherished memorabilia bring out the fandom, showing how these interests shape who we are. This episode is a tribute to our vibrant community, where everyone’s inner nerd finds a home.

I get so fucking nervous doing this shit. Why, I don't know, dude, I just get really fucking nervous.
Speaker 2:I mean, this is why we got this Liquid current. Yes, I haven't had an IPA in like a year, it's just fire. I choked on that one. It hit back. Glad to be back. This is the Davelous Podcast back.
Speaker 1:Glad to be back. This is the Dallas Podcast Group. I am the elder he's HD. For those of you who are new to the show, the Dallas Podcast Group is a group effort together Myself, hd, the nomad, jose, the dad, danny, the dungeon master Together collectively, we discuss and debate everything that falls under the umbrella of nerd culture. If you're new to the show, I hope you like it. If you're a returning listener, thank you so much for the ongoing support. That being said, the dnd episode's going up is it?
Speaker 1:it is going up. It's probably the most feedback that we've had ever. They're liking it and I'm liking that people are enjoying it.
Speaker 2:I know someone specifically said I'm not trying to glaze your dick, but it's a pretty good episode. That's fucking funny. Yeah man, that episode was good. I'm looking through a list. I'm looking through the pokedex right now. What pokemon would you eat like top three?
Speaker 1:jesus, I mean, I think, based off of the video where they cook the Chikorita, I would definitely try the Chikorita. It probably tastes like shit. I feel like to stick with some familiarity, like a Lechonk or a A Tepig, definitely. I mean just, you know, keep it in the realm of like what it's normal, what it's you know. Keep it in the realm of like, what it's normal, what it's you know, what it normally is a fucking torchic for sure, miltank, you could get moo moo milk, get some moo moo steaks.
Speaker 1:I bet you it would be fucking gas, oh yeah. And then I bet you there'd be weird fucking like, just like real life. There'd be weird culinary people that'd be like, let me try to eat a guard war, a guard of war, but like from the back, let me lift up that skirt. Yeah, I think, like within the realm of relative to what it would be in real life, it'd have to be like a tepig or a lechon torchic, for sure combuskin, because them thighs are meaty as fuck oh, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:A blaziken's too thin in the thighs, it's too wiry, it fights you, hits you with a close combat.
Speaker 1:I mean it ain't going to fight a fucking gun, but it's definitely going to fight you if you just try to come at it. And then I'm trying to think of a fish, A fucking Gyarados.
Speaker 2:No, because realistically, like you can't stop a gyarados no, fuck no.
Speaker 1:And you can't eat a magic harp, it's all bones they talk about it.
Speaker 2:A magic harp is just a mojada, bro. You know what would be really good as a, as a claw? It a clarts clow ritzer, clow ritzer. How do you? What the hell is that claw cloyd, sir? No, no, it's from gen 6, it's from xy. It's a little shrimp that has, like, the really big arm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the big like this is my good hand clawitzer, the howitzer pokemon and the evolved form of cloncher. Clawitzer can travel at nearly 70 miles an hour when it propels itself by shooting water from the back of its claw that would be cool.
Speaker 2:A Psyduck Poor guy, A Psyduck dude. The reason I bring this up is because of all of the leaks that I was talking to you about. Did you read them?
Speaker 1:I read through most of what you had sent me and I'm like so it's just fanfiction that came from the developers, like Game Freak. But that's how they developed the backstories Through fan fiction, through freaky-ass fan fiction.
Speaker 2:It's called Game Freak for a reason, brother. That's crazy. So from my understanding and I could be completely wrong on this, but I think I read that people were getting upset because there was going to be no information for Pokemon the rest of the year. There's no major release titles this year and fans are just anticipating more, more information on the legends. Is it legend z? Because it's like the xy. Yeah, not remakes, but xy like the legends game like they did legends arceus.
Speaker 2:Is it arceus or arceus? Good question, because I've always said arceus. I've always said arceus, potato, potato funny enough.
Speaker 1:for a long time I said quibla, I said a quilava. Quilava, do with that what you will.
Speaker 2:Speaking of Typhlosion. All right, yo, what a weird, so okay. So, like to my understanding, people were anticipating this game so much Legends-y that they started like data mining, right, and so what they found was a bunch of information on all of the upcoming Pokemon games slated as of right now. There's going to be like the Diamond and Pearl remakes that they did, the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Is that what it is? They're doing, that, but for the Hoenn games? Or maybe I'm wrong on that? I'm not too sure. Is that Hoenn? That's not Hoenn. Hoenn is Gen 2?, because it's Kanto, then Hoenn isn't it.
Speaker 1:Kanto Johto, Johto Hoenn.
Speaker 2:Sinnoh, sinnoh Perhaps.
Speaker 1:That sounds sort of accurate.
Speaker 2:Okay, but point is people were getting antsy, which is insane, and then they found all of these, I guess, fictional stories that the game developers for these games made. So it was like Game Freak themselves. People within Game Freak were the ones that made these fan fiction-esque stories of the lines between Pokemon and humans being like blurred. And so there's a story about Typhlosion, you know, getting it on and trying to kidnap a human. I think there's one about, like artillery in there somewhere, the suckage, what.
Speaker 1:Insane. Here's what I will say from the little bit that I read about it, as strange as it may seem about it. As strange as it may seem and you know if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I think it follows closely with a sort of cultural trend, because in japan they're as far as like like folklore in terms of creation, in terms of like you know why is the sun up in the sky, and there are a lot of different stories that exist that reflect these same sort of sentiments, like within this, these leaks, especially like being that, oh, you know, one day a hunter was in the forest and he came upon a great beast, and it's not even like, oh, he came upon, like a fucking beast that he didn't know. They name him. They're like, oh, he found a fucking mill tank and he, you know like, did whatever with it and the son was born.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is like did whatever with it and the son was born.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is like it reflects directly with, or at least like.
Speaker 2:Folktales.
Speaker 1:It sort of like parodies, actual like cultural folktales within Japan or, you know, within Japanese culture. That being said, this is from an account called Centrolynx. This is on X. This is one of the leaks. The theme is the original sin, based on the current Pokemon world.
Speaker 1:In the distant past, when the boundary between Pokemon and humans was still blurred, there was a woman and her companions. Every day they were bored, so they would often catch Slakoth living in the nearby forest. They played cruel games with the captured Slakoth, sometimes killing them for fun, gouging out their eyes or cutting off their ears. One day the woman was walking alone in the forest and saw a slakoth hanging from a tree. She climbed the tree to catch it but slipped and injured herself. At that moment a vigoroth appeared. The vigoroth had a torn ear. The woman startled, tried to flee, but her injured leg hurt too much and she couldn't move. The vigoroth with the torn ear suddenly attacked her. When it saw her, the woman lost consciousness. When she awoke, she was in an unfamiliar place. Before her lay a clear lake surrounded by trees, from which many Slakoth and Vigoroth were hanging. All the Pokemon bore wounds somewhere on their bodies Marks left by the woman and her companions. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that some of the Slakoth hanging from the trees were corpses. They were the very Slakoth that the woman and her friends had killed and discarded. The slack-off were throwing those corpses into the lake. Terrified, the woman tried to run away, but a slack-ing appeared. The slack-ing also had a torn ear. The woman realized that this was the same vigor-off that she had seen earlier and fear overwhelmed her, causing her to faint once more.
Speaker 1:When the woman regained consciousness, she found herself at the entrance of a forest near her home, surrounded by her friends. They carried her back to her house. Sometime later, the woman gave birth to a child, but it wasn't a human child, it was a slack off. She intended to abandon it but couldn't bring herself to do so. She stopped meeting with her friends and decided to raise a slack off.
Speaker 1:One day her friends, concerned about her, visited the area near her home. They found the slackoth sleeping there the child of the woman. As they always did, they caught the Slakoth, stabbed it in the chest and killed it. They took its corpse and headed to the woman's house. When they saw the slain Slakoth, the woman was overwhelmed with sorrow. She grabbed the Slakoth's body and ran deep into the forest. Her friend's shock chased after her. As they ventured deeper into the forest, the surroundings suddenly opened up and they found the same clear lake from before. Around the lake were many Slakoth and Vigoroth. The woman stood before the lake and, holding the lifeless body of the Slakoth, she threw herself into the water. Afterwards the woman's friends began to treat Slakoth as companions, just as she had in her final moments, that's a fucking Give that thing a max revive, bro.
Speaker 2:My goodness, dude, give it some going on, give it some pecha berries.
Speaker 1:That is an example of elite I think everybody like is tripping about the typhlosion one, and I mean rightfully so if I could find it, I I'll read it, but it's just weird examples of like origins, of where these pokemon come from, or like how the relationships between man and Pokemon like how they became.
Speaker 2:Lived in unison. Yeah, like it's just weird, and I mean there's fan fiction about everything, right, but like this is teetering on the edge of like I don't know, but it was pretty interesting to read some of the stuff that got leaked. I don't know, but it was pretty interesting to read some of the stuff that got leaked. I could imagine what this now causes, for I guess Game Freak for Nintendo, right, getting the Switch 2 leaked and there's been speculation on all of that. But I don't know. Do you use your Switch often?
Speaker 1:You know, we recently started using it. But, admittingly like the extent of what I use the Switch for.
Speaker 1:First it was for mario kart and smash bros and then for like zelda zelda, but then it just like it lulled in like usage and then I went back to console. But then, once they had released the add-ons for like the uh game boy and the like game boy advance, we started using those because then Pokemon Stadium got released, paper Mario, and I was hooked. I was back on it full time just because of the addition of those games.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But the only downside to those is that it's pricey to have that addition. Like to have that add-on service.
Speaker 2:It's a lot I enjoy using the Switch when I'm hooked on it, but it takes a lot for me to get hooked on it you know like it takes a new pokemon release.
Speaker 2:I can't tell you, the last time like I played a mario game and I know like super mario odyssey was super good, based off of like a lot of feedback and a lot of reviews. But aside from that genre, like I don't know, it doesn't really have the same, I guess, like attraction to me that like a GameCube had, you know, and I don't know what it is and I don't know if I was just younger and that's why those that style of game was more enticing to me at the time. And I still have fun when I get like on smash bros every so often, or I still have fun playing pokemon. But I used to spend like hours playing just mario party, like on my own or whatever, just doing random stuff, and now I don't find myself wanting to do that anymore well, so check this out.
Speaker 1:So, funny enough, you should bring that up under the umbrella of uh fig community world or fmw. They have a show called fair to say, and recently they had sling johnson on. Sling johnson's an actor, voice actor as well, to paraphrase a discussion that they fell into. Closely related to what you just brought up is the fascination or the attraction that we have originally playing games, and it's why do we have that, and one of the panel members said that it's because when we take in those moments for the first time, we see it through the lens of a young child, and so we absorb that, as though we are actually being teleported into, you know, the setting or the character, the environment that we're playing in. It's reliving that moment again. It's, you know, why aren't we playing the Switch as much as we did a GameCube? Why do we enjoy games? Or why did we enjoy games more when we played the PS2? As opposed to you know hopping on Xbox or the PS5 and you play a couple games of like Fortnite, or maybe you know Call of like fortnite, or maybe you know call of duty or what have you? You know, what have you? Whatever like online game that you would play.
Speaker 1:I think it directly correlates with that fact that, as kids we're so, we're so open to taking in these moments. It's like I've seen memes that they fucking hit me so hard, dude, when it's the description of kids being able to play a Pokemon game for the first time. I cannot tell you how much that hits home for me. We were so impacted by those games because we were kids and we were still so open and we weren't jaded by life or consequences or anything. Fuck, that was tremendous for me to hear, dude. I think about that a lot too, because I can't get into games. It's very, very hard for me to get into games now, like Fallout. I played pretty heavily and then I got burnt out, just because it's kind very hard for me to get into games now, like fallout. I played pretty heavily and then I got burnt out, just because it's kind of a lot.
Speaker 1:If you dive into it, it's like well, that's the thing I like when I play a game like that, like a fallout, where it's, it's open to exploration, yeah it's open world I dude. It takes me forever to fucking play, whereas Call of Duty give me like a good two, three fucking rounds to where I could, like you know, get in the fucking groove and see if I'm like, if I get a few wins then I'm up, but if I'm down like five fucking rounds, I won't play anymore, I'll get off.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know I think that is crazy. Like the rush, I don't get that anymore. Playing games, I don't get that anymore. Playing games, I don't. There is a nostalgia and like a longing for that moment again, aside from gaming, like music, like when I was a kid, when we were young, when we were punks, when we were the fucking alternative listening to certain bands you know. And for anybody who happens to tune in, who would know any of these bands can like listening to the phenomenon, listening to a Misfits CD for the first time, listening to a Ramones CD for the first time, it hits you. You better think about it, baby Can't take my baby away.
Speaker 3:Take her away Away from me. Have I not found a way out of here? I'm gonna go to death. I'm crazy and I'm hurt.
Speaker 1:Let's see it. There's a movie called SLC Punk and it's like sort of a formative movie, depending on who you are. At the very end of SLC Punk, at the end of the story, it's between these two kids, matthew Lillard and the other actor who plays Bob. But Bob, you know by the end of this, has passed away from an accidental overdose. And at the end it shows sort of the origin story for the two and, funny enough, they're in salt lake city. It's like in the late 70s, mid 70s maybe, when they're kids and they're hanging out they just so happen to be playing fucking dnd and they're like you know, don't you want to listen to something different? And they're like no man, like we're listening to whatever, like classic rock, fucking, like journey or some shit, and bob goes this is called punk and he puts on a punk fucking tape.
Speaker 1:The nostalgia of hearing punk music for the first time, like for me, because avidly I, that shit was a huge part of my fucking life. And uh, even now, like I had a, a resurgence within the last three years of getting into um, of hardcore music, because hardcore music now is like a big thing for me. But fuck that feeling dude For anything Comics, fucking, getting into horror movies for the first time. We get older and we become so jaded by shit that it's hard for us to get back into that sense of I don't know, that sense of being able to feel that again. But I feel that with fucking gaming, you know, like to bring it back around to gaming it's hard for me to get into fucking games because I don't feel for it anymore. It doesn't do shit for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like Sparking Zero is probably the most current thing that I want to play avidly, but because Budokai Tenkaichi 3, to be very fucking specific, Dude, for me it was 2.
Speaker 2:I mean, 3 was great, Like all of those games were sick.
Speaker 1:No, all of them were fucking sick. Budokai. Budokai was a crazy fucking series. That's one thing I'll tell you. I'm a fool for a fucking fighting game. An anime one? If it's, what is it? Ninja Storm? All of them from PlayStation 2 fucking down Any of the Dragon Ball Z games.
Speaker 2:Budokai, except for, like what was the one? Kakarot, kakarot, I didn't play.
Speaker 1:Kakarot. Legends of Goku. I played on the Game Boy Advance, but a lot of these fucking games Sparking Zero is probably that.
Speaker 2:Well, because it looks so similar to the Budokai series. And from what?
Speaker 1:I've heard it's exactly like that. It exactly has the right amount of nostalgia and familiarity for you to be like. I know this, I've been here. I remember this. I've been here, yeah, like I remember this and that feeling is all I fucking want now as like an old, grizzled, fucking man at the end of my rope, that's all.
Speaker 2:I want.
Speaker 1:That's all I want to feel now?
Speaker 2:I think that for me, what I've been, I guess, finding more comfort in when it comes to gaming is like competitive gaming, because it makes me feel like I'm working towards something. But with that it's either I have a really good night and I get some dubs or I have a really shitty night and I just want to clock out with God brother, because that's like it's rough dude, it's rough Like. It's rough dude, it's rough Like. But it brings out a different sense of, I guess, gaming for me because it's competition, Whereas if I'm playing a story game, it needs to take like a real good story to get me hooked. Like I think the last story game that I played where I was like dude, this is amazing was God of War, Ragnarok. But then again, like I played God of War as a kid, I probably shouldn't have been playing God of War Ragnarok, but then again, like I played God of War as a kid, I probably shouldn't have been playing God of War as a kid, but I was playing God of War as a kid. And so the nostalgia right.
Speaker 2:Think Assassin's Creed, Like I like the Assassin's Creed games. Think Fallout I've been playing the Fallout games. So these are all things that I've liked, but if you talk to me about like Starfield, Starfield does not look interesting to me at all and it probably is decent. I mean I heard it wasn't great at launch but it's probably decent now and I just don't want to play that. I'll play more like exploration games, sandbox games, because I could do whatever I want, but it takes a lot for me to get hooked on something, Whereas I'm sure, like I said, Starfield is 10 times better than like Sly Cooper. But Sly Cooper was the shit to me back in the day and I would kill for like a sly cooper remake.
Speaker 1:I love the ninja turtles franchise and this is also tying in with something I wanted to bring up as well but it is a comfort food for me. But it's comfort food in the sense that we always go back to it. I don't give a fuck when it comes out which one's your favorite?
Speaker 2:I?
Speaker 1:don't I mean.
Speaker 2:For me, obviously it's like the the 90s what's your favorite turtle, though, is what I'm asking oh, michelangelo, michelangelo.
Speaker 1:Rafael donatello, leo s splinter before leo. Venus domilo before leonardo. No one even remembers her slash before leonardo, because, fuck that guy. No, it, just it's. He falls too close with the leader aspect like prototypical with the prototype like hey, I'm the white knight, I'm leo, I'm the fucking leader, I'm the grounded guy man, leonardo, you are such a downer rafael is cool but crude.
Speaker 1:Does the phrase go suck a lemon hold any meaning for you? Michelangelo is a party dude. Oh, fucking mikey, come on. But I love like there's a lot of franchises and I think I've touched on him. I, I know I have. I fucking talk about like the same 10 things all the fucking time. But again, this idea of comfort food for me is like. I love the ninja turtles franchise. Whenever it comes out, I don't give a fuck. It's comforting, it's again, it's nostalgia.
Speaker 1:I can go back to it whenever the fuck I want yeah I can discover new things because there's, you know, some of the series I haven't watched all the way through. Some of them I haven't watched at all. But I find something that I like in all of them. Transformers another fucking big one for me. I'm an absolute fool for transformers, but beast wars is the fucking best I don't, I haven't watched that one I'm old.
Speaker 1:I am old and, being that, I'm a parent. My kids like some of these things and it makes it all the more enjoyable for me because I find comfort in when they're like hey, like, uh. You know, my son really likes ghostbusters. I wasn't even that fucking crazy about ghostbusters, I liked it. Sure, it was a, you know, it was a hit for me when I was a kid. But my son loves fucking ghostbusters. That's his like main fucking thing. And I'm like, I like ghostbusters a lot now and I've dove into lore. I've watched the fucking animated series all over again with him. Um, we've watched all the fucking movies.
Speaker 1:When I go thrifting, I go and I find movies on dvd, well, like one and two. It's just there's certain things that I really like and it makes me feel comfortable and fucking at home. It's hard for me to get into anime. I do get into anime like, I watch it, I stick with it, like, uh, like I was. I put in our group chat delicious and dungeon, because we're so like dnd. Forward right now. Delicious and dungeon is exactly fucking dnd. Everything about it you hear, like the lexicon that they use and like the setting, the way that they describe certain things. It's all fucking dnd and it's even that much more enjoyable for me right now.
Speaker 2:I just find comfort in things like that yeahing stuff for me is going back and playing like older games, games that I spent a lot of time in, like the Fallouts, like Paper Mario Stuff, like that. I find myself I'll start like a new game. I'll be like, oh this, like one of the games that I started was like Sifu. Have you heard of Sifu? Yeah, I actually just saw it on the xbox game pass and so sifu's cool, but I couldn't finish it. Hogwarts legacy hogwarts legacy is cool. I love fucking harry potter.
Speaker 2:I couldn't finish it and it's not that you know, this stuff doesn't seem cool to me. But I just go back and I start up a new save of assassin's creed odyssey, or I start up a new save of Fallout 4 and I rebuild the same base that I've built 10 times over and I don't know. It's just. I think, like you mentioned earlier, like being, you know, jaded from the world or being older and knowing things in a different perspective, like you just kind of want to go back and chase that feeling that you got for the first time and kind of feel, maybe, that innocence, even playing like Call of Duty. Like Call of Duty I used to play for hours and hours at a time and just have a bunch of fun. But now it's like, oh, it's another COD game.
Speaker 1:So we were watching TV last night before we went to bed and there was a commercial for COD and in my head I was like I don't know, I think I already have it pre-ordered. Dude, I think I pre-ordered it way back when they first, when it was like when it was announced for like 30 bucks, like cheap, I think I already pre-ordered it. But in my mind I'm like bro, why are you fucking getting it? It's the same shit all the time, man, why the fuck do you want it? It's like because it's familiar and I know it and I can play it and like it won't take me long to learn how to play it or get good at it or fucking whatever right. But then it's like you know what are you gonna do? Fucking play it for like you know the month, get tired of it, pick it up again in two months, drop it.
Speaker 1:I don't like that. It doesn't interest me. But also it's this thing of like gaming like I. It's lost its attraction to me. There's just something so, so new and unfamiliar about it. It doesn't. It just doesn't give me that same feeling, because I I feel like a lot of games like I don't know, there's not an attraction. I think what would draw me in honestly would be like like a souls type game, because now that's a big thing.
Speaker 2:It's like do you play?
Speaker 1:souls games. I've tried playing the more recent dark souls and I just it. It was too much. I got overwhelmed and I stopped. Like you think of, like ghosts of tsushima black myth, like they seem so fucking daunting and like I don't know dude, it just seems like too much, but I feel like I've, like I generally would enjoy them yeah but I look at the games that like held my attention and that I played, like you know, front to back, and it was like horizons, the witcher last of us like games like that.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh dude, I'm so fucking sucked in like I have to play this. I can't wait till I get home to be able to play this. I can't wait till I have some down time to be able to play this. And now it's like I'm getting my phone. What's on youtube gaming, I don't give a fuck. Like I think I I played borderlands again, like two borderlands. That franchise has had me hooked. I can go back to those games and just play them, yeah, but there's just, uh, it's, it's like an. There's something so like very open about it that like I don't feel tied down by anything to be able to jump into any of them, but because I I enjoy them so much. Like if I had the witcher which, um, I don't know why the fuck I don't if I had the witcher I would jump into it right now. Civilization, I, I'll get on it right now. I'll be, I won't go to work. The sims I'll get on it.
Speaker 1:You won't see me ever yeah I'll, fucking, I'll delete the podcast from everything. But it's just like I don't. There's just games that I, I can't. It doesn't give me that like hey, like, let's, let's play a game pokemon. I haven't played pokemon in years. You can skip the last one. There's something just not attractive about it to me.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I think I'm just getting old, uh yeah, gaming is still fun, for sure, for me it's definitely like my biggest hobby, but it's it looks a lot different than it did, you know, 10, 15 years ago, and I guess that's all right. But it's just one of those things where right, because now you have, like, the oculus, now you have all this vr stuff, and that's the direction we're heading and I don't know if I want to get behind all that. Maybe, maybe, but we'll see. I guess time will tell with that.
Speaker 1:And there's a part of me that like again to hang on to that, that sense of I don't even know that it's youthfulness, but it's like being in the know or being, you know, like current, that I'm like, oh, what if I fall behind? Then I'm like, oh, what if I fall behind? Like what if I'm not able to get a, you know playstation 6 or a playstation 7 or an xbox fucking whatever, like once it becomes vr, because I'm sure it's going to go that way? Well, technology in general is very progressive, but it's um, it's the thought of being that fucking adult. That's like what are you guys playing like? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:I don't want to be that person because I always wanted to be like oh, this is I'm cool, like I'm, I'm the cool dad, this is my. Well, it's not even that. It's even being like prior to even being a dad. It's like, oh yeah, gaming's my time, I'm gonna be a gamer forever. But I don't, like, I don't feel that way anymore. I don't know, I don't. I feel like, feel like I'm going to be lost in that, lost in the sauce of being like we're going to be like that fool from Spy Kids 3.
Speaker 2:Where he pulls up to the realm in the wheelchair yeah, a little old, but then we get the power up and we're.
Speaker 1:He's like I can do more than I can stand. He does backflips and shit. What is it? The Grandpa no.
Speaker 2:The Grandpa. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. And I'm the guy. And then the fool gets murked in like two seconds. Roja's head shot.
Speaker 1:Hey, shout out Spy Kids dude. Those movies were fucking tight.
Speaker 2:I wanted a microwave the microwave that they had, where they put in the little packet, and it turned into a Happy Meal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, they put in the like little packet and it turned into like a happy meal. Yeah, you remember that. Yeah, I do. Yeah, that was tight. Um, you know, what it was for me was, I think, part two, where they went to the island with the fucking weird animals and shit. That was the one that I was like, hey yo, this movie is like so cutting edge. It was amazing. I thought that shit was amazing. But the first one disgusted me. Why? Because of the, the thumb, the fucking thumb thumbs. Yes, okay, so I think even in part two, the um, the bad guy's name was floop, but he had he was turning people into like fucked up characters like a, an amalgamation of something into a person, like I don't even know how to explain it.
Speaker 1:Like he, they, uh, or maybe it was part one, I don't know but he, he was kidnapping people and then turning them into like fucked up just characters, and it disgusted me so much as a kid I can't even tell you like I was like what the fuck am I watching? Like I wanted to go home. But those movies are fucking sick dude. Shout out robert rodriguez, he's tight. Shout out to machete, bro. Hey, shout out Machete, because I would love to go and have those tacos, yeah, and the donuts, whatever the fuck else he makes, machetes, yeah.
Speaker 2:Whatever, the jack of all trades, that's gaming, gaming.
Speaker 3:You win Perfect.
Speaker 1:Now what I would like to ask is as of the 28th, the day of our campaign of Session Zero, you were able to attend Lodi Comic Con. Shout out to Lodi Comic Con. Yeah, that was your first Comic Con Ever. How was that for you? Because I would love to know.
Speaker 2:I would say at first I felt like super out of place you do.
Speaker 1:That's the way I felt when I went to a stocking con for the first time. Yeah, I felt like I didn't belong there, like I felt like I wasn't doing enough no, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2:Because like I was like, okay, I'm gonna wear a shirt, like I'm gonna wear a shirt, it's gonna be like a like an anime shirt whatever, my girl was wearing an anime shirt. But then everybody's like foxtails and dressing up like gojo and shit and I'm like, well, that's, that's cool as hell, right, like I think that was super dope people linked up. One was dressed as like gojo, another person was dressed as sukuna and like a bunch of different other characters from jujutsu kaisen that this just happened to run into each other there and they took a pic and like that was nice, right. But I just felt like dude, I'm not nerd enough like going through everything. I was like, no, that's, that's not the case, because all this stuff's cool as fuck. So we walked, like we got there and it was cool like we walked in and I think what made it better for me was like when you were talking about like your kids liking stuff and all that, you start to like it more. Well, you know, in the last podcast I talked about how my girlfriend started getting into like anime. So that made it even better because I saw her like kind of like looking through the stuff and be like, oh, this is from that, this is from that. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:And so we like got to the first little stand. That kind of caught our eye at first. Like we're walking past like a bunch of, I guess, authors trying to put their comics out and like no shade to them, they're doing their stuff. But I was like, man, is this all it's going to be? Like, you know, where's the like the stuff going to be? Where it's like the things that we know, right, like we know Demon Slayer, we know Dragon Ball, we don't know all these things. One of the guys was like super friendly that was trying to get us to like look at his comic and I can't remember the name off the top of my head right now but like everybody was just super friendly, from the people selling stuff to the people buying stuff. At no point after the initial like me feeling out of place did I feel out of place because everybody was just trying to, you know, like be friendly with one another. If you bumped into somebody, they're like oh, like my bad, my bad, you know. So everybody was super cool.
Speaker 2:But then I got to this like small vendor he was selling like stone coasters and they were like laser, like engraved, and stuff with anime characters and I was like if it's going to be a bunch of this kind of stuff like this is dope Right. So we ended up buying like I think like four or five coasters off the guy, because we were like one of the first people at the table and I was like cool's go, let's go find other things. So it's a bunch of like little knickknacks like that at first. But then we didn't realize that there was like a whole other warehouse where they were like showing a bunch of stuff and at that one, that's where all like the more mainstream stuff was, and so there was like swords, there was the. All the meet and greets were happening there. Shout out to bobby lashley. I saw bobby there was it bobby lashley?
Speaker 2:yeah, I think it was bobby lashley. That's crazy. Yeah, bobby lashley was there.
Speaker 1:Mvp was there I wanted to go and meet mvp yeah, yeah, so that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2:I didn't.
Speaker 1:I didn't get to meet him because, like, the lines are super long, oh no, yeah, but I will say whenever you go to a con, especially like sack anime, lodi, stalking con, whenever wrestlers are there, expect a long fucking line. They always have the longest lines, aside from, like the the voice actor tables, mm-hmm, especially when the the voice actors are current, oh for sure why it's, you know, forget about it.
Speaker 2:Well, I think at sack anime they're gonna have like the voice actor for like aaron, yet they're from like attack on titan, no sac anime um, tanjiro is gonna be there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tanjiro is also the voice of, uh, cyberpunk. Yeah, and that's why I sent it to david martinez. I know that you, you know but yeah, that's my boy yeah, he's uh also zenitsu zenitsu's gonna be there, yeah yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 2:but, like it was cool to just see all of the things related to everything I've grown up watching, everything I'm currently watching, I thought that was super dope. I did end up buying some katanas, did you? Well, I bought tengans. I sent the picture, didn't I? Yes, you did. Yeah, I bought tengans, katanas. Did you buy more than that, though For myself? No, and he ended up getting like a Demon Slayer backpack. Oh, and then I mean, we bought the coasters and then we bought like a bunch of Demon Slayer figures. They were super like cheap, whatever. I think it was like 20 to 25 bucks a figure and they were like the like the full size figures, right. So I thought that was pretty dope. So we bought a few of those. I think in terms of items, like I think that was it.
Speaker 2:But just the experience of participating in something where there's a bunch of other people like me or of the same interest as me there, like that was super cool it is me, or of the same interest as me there, like that was super cool it is, I think that was, for me, the better part of it was kind of sharing that experience with other people that were having similar reactions to me when they saw these things. Um, I was kind of upset because I didn't see like any dungeons and dragons stuff there, really. Yeah, like there was nothing. Like I was on, well, because I mean that's what we've been talking about, right, right. So I was like, hopefully I find like a table with something you know anything dice or something like custom dice.
Speaker 2:The only thing I saw was this little kid. He had like a D20 plushie and it was cool, and I was about to say like hey, where'd you get that? But it turns out like his parents were running the stand that was right there and that was just his plushie and I his plushie, and I was like, dude, I will snatch that off your hands right now, fuck you up, but yeah, so. So that was cool. We're excited to go to sac anime. We're gonna be doing that come january. We were gonna go to the one this upcoming weekend in tracy, but we're like we gotta slow down a little bit I saw that.
Speaker 1:I saw that and it makes me want to go. You should, um, and the one in tracy is, uh, hosted by ohana comic-con. Those are the ones that I think are the coolest for, like, if you're going to take kids, if you want to go and, you know, find out what they're all about for the first time. They usually hold them in like more uh, intimate spaces. It's just, it isn't a lot to absorb like at one time. I really, I like those a lot. That's cool though man I was, I was like really curious and like enthusiastic to to hear about how you like that, because, um, again, it's, you know, and it's the same reason why I, you know, talked about it when I did because it it there is a sense of like feeling on the outside but then actually seeing it like live in person, to interact with other people that are like, oh, you know, one of us, that feeling it's, it's nice to know that there are other people that enjoy the same shit. Yeah, like the very last one that we went to in lodai when I took my daughter and she was, you know, like at like peak fucking demon slayer and she went as a in her nezuko kimono and, um, she had so many fucking people that stopped her. And we're like, can we take a picture with her? Like, can we take a be? Like, she looks awesome.
Speaker 1:You know there was and I want to get her name right because she was really really fucking nice well, on instagram, anyway, she's empress of sacramento, but she was cosplaying as a character from has been hotel or hell of a boss, one of those shows, but I had no idea what the fuck it was. I had heard of it but I didn't know what it was. Obviously it's big with kids on tiktok and shit. My daughter, you know, knew who that person was, who that artist was, and then who they were cosplaying as. And she was like, oh my god, dude, can I take a picture with her please? And I was like, why don't we go ask like, how about? Like we fucking man up real quick? And we go like go press her for a picture real quick. And so here I go like a fucking creep, I'm like, excuse me, can I get a picture for my daughter please? And she was like really accommodating, really nice, whatever.
Speaker 1:But it's that idea that like everybody's real, like a community, that community, that feeling that's what I was about to say, yeah that feeling of like oh, we're not just, we're not out of place here, it's just a matter of like there was a character there from some fucking mobile game. I don't know what any of these things are that my daughter likes.
Speaker 2:Raid Shadow.
Speaker 1:Legends, that one that Anthony Starr plays, that he's like, and I have my red guys and they're shooting the blue guys.
Speaker 2:This is the, because creators made a real game based off the fake game.
Speaker 1:It's some fucking game. I don't know what the fuck it's called, but my daughter likes it and she's Genshin Genshin Impact, genshin Impact, genshin Impact. Fuck, you're sick dude. You're sick, genshin Impact. There was a trans individual who was cosplaying as this genshin character.
Speaker 1:My daughter was like, oh, that person's dressed as uh, you know so-and-so and I was like, hey, excuse me, can I bother you to take a picture of my daughter? And you feel real fucking weird doing that, because obviously it's not. You know my daughter's. She's young, she's shy, but then my stupid ass is old and creepy and I'm like, can you fucking, can I bother you real quick? But they were so fucking nice about it, like they like no big deal. They were like why, of course, let me accommodate you. And I was like, wow, you didn't have to do that, but that's fucking amazing.
Speaker 1:And they gave us stickers and whatever the fuck else. They gave us like a few things. Yeah, here, take this. And I was like, wow, you're real nice. But, um, even then I was like that's very cool that you're comfortable doing that. Yeah, and they were doing that the whole fucking um, the whole like venue. We would spot them. And we're like, oh, wow, they're taking a picture with someone else too, and then giving them stickers and giving them. And I was like that's, that's nice to see that outside of this because of of you know, we, where we are socially and and, um, politically and shit, like you don't have to worry about that shit here. No one's asking you anything fucking specific you know, like about yourself and who you are, what you identify as, whatever, and you're just fucking walking up to people like you want to take a picture with me I was like that's cool as fuck, dude.
Speaker 1:It was just nice. It's nice to see that shit. X-men 97, it just dropped. And I went to target, like maybe the week before, and they had an x-men shirt and I was like I want to buy that. I'm gonna look fucking sick and I'm gonna wear it all old and fat. And I was all old and fat walking around the venue and there was another fucking guy that had seen me he was was a kid though, but he was wearing probably just an X-Men shirt from another Fuck, if I got mine on Target, he got his as Kohl's and we seen each other and there was this pause for like 15 seconds where we were just like eyeing each other up. We stopped and we were like Are we going to acknowledge that we're both wearing X-Men? Shit? X-men 97 just dropped.
Speaker 1:And then we did the Cyclops you know, ryu the meme, the handshake. We did that shit because he was like I like your shirt and I was like I like your shirt, young buck. All right, big step of fucking. It was fucking cool, though, because no one's trying to outdo anybody. I mean there may be someone there that's like one more, look at me. No one's gonna get my reference or whatever, but no one's I'm a furrier than you. No one's trying to out nerd anybody else.
Speaker 2:Yeah, everybody's fucking cool, just talking and I think it's one thing where, like you kind of like briefly touched on it, but you know that sense of community where you don't really find that in your typical day-to-day activity right like right, most right, most people they got jobs they go to work or you have like a group of people that come from different backgrounds, different histories, and maybe you jive with some of them, maybe you don't, but you're there, it's connecting you because you're seeking this thing to help you survive in your day-to-day life.
Speaker 2:You come home to your family. You don't pick your family right, like you're born into family, and that's one thing. But these things are things that you pick, that you seek out, and I think that's the cool part. When you finally decide to like, hey, I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and I'm going to go seek this thing out and be a part of it, it's a cool feeling because I even felt that when we went to like utopia, that for for the first time, yeah where it's like walking in there was kind of not even like intimidated I don't think that's the right word I think just like overwhelmed by all of these things where I'm like I want to look at everything and take everything in, because this is my shit I belong here
Speaker 2:yeah, that sense of belonging. And I got asked a, asked a question at my job the other day and they were like, well, like, what do you determine as culture? Right, like, what is culture to you? And I think, like normally, people will default to like, oh well, I'm Hispanic, so Hispanic culture is my culture. I'm, you know, native American, so that's my culture, or or whatever, right, what have you?
Speaker 1:it's like you identify as your race, as this as your race, or it's like it becomes just like a construct of what you are right, like I'm hispanic, I'm a male, I'm in my 20s that's my culture.
Speaker 2:Like I fall into all all of that. But culture is like everything right, everything that makes you uniquely you, and so finally, stepping out of the things that were automatically categorized as, like you know, your race, your gender, your all that stuff, stepping into something that you are choosing and that you're actively making that decision to participate in, like I think that's super cool. Like I was saying, like the coolest part to me was one, you know, seeing my girlfriend like take everything in. And then, two, that sense of community where everybody was super cool. There's no issues at all whatsoever, it was just a vibe dude. Right away when we left on the way out we saw, saw like sack anime little pamphlets because they're getting ready to like do all that stuff. They were even doing like pre-orders for tickets already, yeah. And you know, on the way out I was like, hey, can I get, can I get one? And the lady was like, yeah, yeah, like this is, this is the person that we're gonna have already. Like on the back you find a bunch of information. Like you could tell that she didn't know me, but she wanted people like me there, and so that was pretty tight. So it was a good first, I guess, rodeo at a con.
Speaker 2:I feel bad, though, because shout out to the dude that that sold me the katanas, because I I pulled up to the. I pulled up the first time and I was like, hey, man, like how much you know for, for this whatever, for like the single blades. He was like, oh, it's, I think it was like 80 bucks, 90 bucks, and then for like the katana, like the tengans katanas is like two of them. And so I was like, hey, how much for the, how much for the blades? And he was like, oh, like one. Oh, so the single blades were 80, so the, the katanas were like 160.
Speaker 2:That do the tengans, because there are like two of them. And so I went and I was like, hey, man, like I was like you know what 160? I don't know, it's kind of a steep price. I'm going to hold off on them. So then we went around and I was like thinking about the katanas the whole time, and I was like, man, I want those katanas, I want those katanas. And so I went back and I pulled like the little, like you know, mexican, I'm going to try to haggle, you type shit. And I was like hey, bro, you said 140 on these and you could tell like he knew that. I knew that he said 160. And he was like I said 160, but you know I'll do 140. So shout out to that guy.
Speaker 1:I felt a little bad but hey, we worked something out. And then, yeah, I think for the last uh, two or three years he's been there in the same spot, but he has, like the biggest selection of?
Speaker 2:yeah, he was. He was the one that had the biggest selection there and he was just like running around all over the place he had. He had a cool selection he had. I was almost tempted to buy like sasuke's katana his His was there too. I was close to buying Rengoku's katana, but he had a bunch of other stuff too, so it was pretty tight. He had like a keyblade too. I thought that was pretty cool. I don't like Kingdom Hearts, but hey.
Speaker 3:So what did he say?
Speaker 1:Not even having to do with the con, but way, way back. This was when my daughter was born. We went to the apricot fiesta, which is a local festival held in a patterson where I'm from originally. You know. We're fucking walking around like, looking at everything and we, mind you, we just we just had my daughter and she was fresh, that bread was still settling, and we walked by a booth that had the first time I ever saw a booth that had swords or anything you know recreations, and they had a keyblade and I was like, oh, my god, I need this. This was a fucking like just a piece of metal. This motherfucker probably weighed like 50 pounds, dude, like I could have killed someone with this fucking sword. And I was like, dude, it's 60 bucks, I need to get it.
Speaker 1:My, my kid's mom was like, bro, you're not going to buy a fucking $60 bludgeoning, fucking weapon. And I was like you never let me have fun. And, fucking, I just had a baby. I was like, come on, man, you know what do you mean? Let it play a play a little bit, man. Yo, that shit was so funny. I think about that. Let it play a play a little bit, yo, that shit was so funny. I think about that Like when I remember, when it comes to my mind I fucking I can't help but laugh about that that I'm like I wanted that shit so bad.
Speaker 2:Dude. But that goes back to the nostalgia piece right Like. That has a huge significance to you.
Speaker 1:It does, it does, but it's like fuck.
Speaker 2:I'm going to do the Keyblade?
Speaker 1:Well, you're gonna put that on your fucking mantle, I don't have the day that and I've told you like, aside from the, you know, outside of the pod, when I have the space, when I have my own personal space to be able to decorate and convey all the things that I like it's over, it's a wrap.
Speaker 1:Fuck everybody, kids, sock them, that's my stuff. I'm gonna put up all kinds of crazy shit, yeah, but that's the goal. It's like I want to be able to convey a lot of this because I love it. I love it so fucking much like when I was a kid, I I lived with my grandma at one point and, uh, slowly but surely, like I, you know, decorated with my own stuff and it felt so fucking sick to have, like anybody that was around for like the coolerer's Revenge, like the original Dragon Ball Z movies that would come out on VHS. There were big fucking figures of like Lord Slug and Cooler and Goku, and I had a Lord Slug and a Cooler that I found at Walmart at the time that I had bought the VHS of Cooler's Revenge and Lord Slug and I was like I had them just fucking up in the room.
Speaker 3:And I was like I had them just fucking up in the room and I was like, fuck yeah, dude.
Speaker 1:There's a fucking crucifix here and there's a fucking. There's a, because I was still going to catechism Not that I wanted to. It was, you know, devil horns all day, but it was, like you know, low-key devil worshiping, but it was coolers right here, lord Slugs right here. And then I have a fucking Old JC just and then I have a fucking cobija de virgen on the bed. You already know how we fuck around the PS2.
Speaker 2:With the little like mandil over it, the little like Mexican napkin.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, that's so fucking sick dude.
Speaker 3:Introducing a new line of collectible figures from the Dragon Ball Z universe Featuring Battle Damage Goku and Battle Damage Piccolo. Complete your collection with detailed sculpts of Cooler and Lord Slug. All of these figures, and many more, will be available soon, only from.
Speaker 2:If Labs, speaking of that man, like I know I sent you the pictures already, but you know, when we started painting the minis, like that's just been super dope because now we have, like the display aspect of you know, d&d and stuff, so that's been cool. But yeah, it's just like finding space to put them right Because, like now I want to buy a bunch of other minis and it's like all right, well, I got to find a home for him. It's just cool to have man, it's cool to have like that memorabilia, that connecting factor to those things that we like.
Speaker 1:So that's why there's there's so much shit there that I want to get there's an artist. He designed the artwork for the last two events, the.
Speaker 1:The last event that I went to was godzilla and then this was the event that you went to yeah, um, his name is justin orr and, uh, a lot of the shit that he has is is everything that I fucking love and that makes me like who I am. He has like animations and art pieces about mf doom, bruce lee fucking about godzilla, just different fucking things. A lot of like what I am, hip-hop and fucking kaijus and like comic and anime animations. He's so fucking dope. When I met him I was like yo, you're never going to fucking remember me, but we're friends, we'll meet again someday. I spoke it into the universe when I met him. I speak it into the universe now. It's like I'm going to fucking. I need to talk to Justin Orr. I would love to speak to him, tell him to pull it to the pot. I gave him more stickers. I did. I gave him more stickers. I think he's ain't gonna fucking remember me. Well, what is he gonna?
Speaker 1:he's swinging big dick, fucking hey I'm a notable guy there are a handful of people that I need to speak with, but it's like I need to talk to him. I would love to fucking interview him. Martin martin crudo from, uh, los crudos. I would love, I would love, I would love that is the bucket list to fucking speak to him. I need to. He means so much to me.
Speaker 1:He means so much to like my 15, 16 year old self that like didn't like I, I again to tie it back in with, like the sense of community and feeling like who you are and what you represent. And like when I was even maybe as early as 14, like I had such an identity crisis and like cultural identity and, um, like martin from los crudos, uh, he and he, uh, he ended up moving on to um, he made a band called limpris and it was they're, they're all openly gay men singing about gay shit. And back in the day they would say like, well, you can't go to a limpris show because, like you know, only pejoratives go to limpris shows. And I, I wish, I wish, I wish, like so fucking much if I could like turn back the wheel, the wheel, to be able to experience that. But I would love, I, I fuck.
Speaker 1:That guy means so much to me of like building up who I am, like culturally, like ethnically, just you know who I am like my this whole identity crisis, even just being comfortable being a fucking nerd, because there was a point where I couldn't be myself, I couldn't be a nerd for a long time because of uh, because of the way I felt, because of uh, people that are around me, you know, and like uh being impressionable and shit it's a lot. But, um, like guys like that, or guys like you know, justin orr, he's like. I met him and I seen like what he was putting out as an artist and I was like, hey, what the fuck like were you a fat? Mexican kid too? But he's, I think he's like filipino. I was like, but were you fat either way? No, it's cool, dude. It's cool the type of shit that you come across in those oh yeah, in those spaces it's definitely neat.
Speaker 2:I think I'm super appreciative of that experience because it opened up the door to have more similar to those right and and experience. That again definitely helped me, I guess, build my own confidence in terms of you know, I belong to this and and I'm gonna continue to do so for for a while. I'm glad you liked it, because I was like man. I hope he likes it yeah, I was like, hopefully sack anime.
Speaker 1:Let's go. I know I want you so bad, dude, I want to go as a group. So bad I want to go. I, I group, so bad, I want to go. I've been wanting to go to the past, the Porterville ones. Obviously, we have shout out to Javi and the boy. We have them down there, our fucking sort of SoCal correspondence. Yeah, I do, I want to be able to experience that shit. That's cool. My first sack anime was with my friends, with my boys. Yeah, um, shout out to sound squad, but that shit's cool man. To experience that shit together, I think that'd be dope if we, if we went pretending to be oh, it's a dallas podcast, oh where hey man, we got we got some new, some new followers since this last episode, so hey, we come up everywhere, dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, our demographics here in California we're sort of everywhere, even in the state we're in Ohio. I know that all the kids like Ohio, ohio.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1:I don't know what that means, I have no fucking idea.
Speaker 2:For all you know, Phantom tax, phantom tax. Yeah, For all you know. You just said slurs.
Speaker 3:Hey, For all you know you just said slurs hey yo what the fuck Fuck.

Speaker 2:trending for you. For me, the only notes I got, I would eat a mill tank and maybe like, uh, like I'm thinking of like legendary pokemon, because I think that would taste like exotic and and what I'm thinking is like a rusher ram.
