Dad Snark Podcast

So, I have someone I know who's totally addicted to gaming. In such a way, they use lies and deception to avoid discussions about it. So what do you do about this? I'm seriously asking. 

I'm into a few things here and there as far a reading, listening, and watching. The last issue of Gideon Falls was a real doozy. What a great series it's been and it's come to a fantastic close for sure. I'm enjoying the TPB of "Hip Hop Family Tree" right now. I highly suggest this if you have any interest at all. Fantastic stuff.

We did watch Wonder Woman 1984 and it was pretty fun indeed. Check her out if you get a chance. It's good fun times together for the family.

Alright, so I got an Oculus Quest 2 and it's pretty incredible. I have good and bad feelings and thoughts about the place it'll hold in the future. AR and VR I mean. I have not enough faith in mankind to use something this big in the proper manner. I'm sure we'll be screwing it up royally.

Have a Happy New Year kids and I'll catch up with you next week.

Sorry I've been running behind a little. Here's a new episode though. Quit your griping.

After a vaccine rant, I come back and discuss some of the stuff I'm into at the moment.

Probably gonna take the week off following Christmas. We'll see.

Stick around though. There's plenty of good stuff coming up.

Well, I'll just let the "Whats bugging me" section speak for itself.

Things I'm into? All kindsa stuff. I know I talked about "Green Candles" in here. Good read.

I recall telling you I'd have a link for that in here.

I just got this from my homeboy Mikey and I have to say, Gott Damn that DJ made my day.

It's really easy. Just don't give a $h!t about stuff that doesn't really matter.

I have various pics of spins and the mic system I was talking about here.

Should have the 80th episode ready to roll for you all next week.

Yeah, we forked over $50 for a half-assed produced fight card from Triller or Fite or whatever. Who cares? Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. for crying out loud.

Snoop had the best comment of the night too. Yeah, that Snoop.

Well, that's it. The election of 2020 is all done on the voters' ends. It's merely up to the "powers that be" to get this shit right and make sure the peoples' voices are heard. Ugh!

NOTE: It used to be just "One Nation, Indivisible, with..." and they added "Under God" in 1954. It was not "Under All" ever. Sorry!!!

Been reading some new comics. Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire (one of my fave comic creators) is back. I have waited a cool decade to see this character and read his adventures once more. I simply love this book. Go, now, and read it immediately. I'm also into a relatively new book called That Texas Blood. Very interesting and right up my alley as well. I've yet to crack open Cross Over, but it's gonna happen.

Got ABBA - Gold mostly for the wife and daughter, but I will admit it's fun to put on when we're cooking/cleaning in the kitchen. Billy Paul's album has been making some rounds again as well. Check out some recent spins and other images here.

Watching American Housewife's new season. They replaced the actor playing AnnaKat. That's a bummer, but I guess the new one's good enough. Great show. Also catching up on some Goldbergs going back a few years that we've missed. Good show as well. David Koechner is phenomenal as always in it. Pen15 is a fave for us as well. Not for the kiddos though.

That's about it. Hang in there everyone. If you're curious about COVID-19 testing, check out the Special Report #012 I put up last weekend. Been there and done that.

See you soon!

Always be sure to check out the Dad Snark Blog too.

So much anger built inside.  - Gang Starr

Seriously, WTF everyone? This is insanity. I don't know why we're all so hateful and mean to each other. Especially in a time where we all need each other to reach out a hand and help. Quit it!

After the break I discuss my fascination with macabre documentaries and discuss a few recently watched. There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane is the first and it's heartbreaking. You didn't hear this from me, but it's been said you can watch it for free on YouTube or something. Then I checked out Beware the Slenderman as well. I had no idea Slenderman was believed to be real by kids. Craziness. Also, I heard the same thing about this one on YouTube.

Did watch the new Borat film. It's something else and I discuss it a little in the opening half of the show. We are, as a family, also watching Next on hulu as well. 

Haven't been reading much, but I did come across this old graphic novel I never even started. I like it and I'm gonna finish it soon.

Scored a bunch of new records at a goodwill store last weekend as well. Of course you know where to see those.

Looking forward to a new Hot Wing Challenge with my boy Mikey in December. I know you'll all tune in for that one.

Catcha later!

I don't know a person that's not just plain sick of them. I really don't. They suck and our airwaves/internet are jam flippin' packed with them right now. In addition to the timely political attack ads, we have these law firm ads attempting to get folks to sign onto suits against organizations and the ever present nighttime locals phone group ads. I mean come on people. How effing stupid are we?

After the ad break, I come back with some stuff I'm into at the moment. We finally finished Schitt's Creek and I highly suggest you do the same if you've not. It's a top ten show of all time for me personally. I also finished up the Monsterland limited series on hulu. It's pretty solid and then goes off the rails a bit in the last few episodes. Might be your cup of tea though. The standouts for me were the first episode and then the mermaid episode. Outstanding! We started Pen15 back up as well. Great show.

Of course, I talked a bunch about the Run The Jewels concert that was free live streaming. Go check that out right here. Also discussed a few new records I got from Kurtis Blow and Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. All recent spins are here for your perusal in a photo album.

I'm all caught up on Gideon Falls as far as reading and looking for something new. I'm sure that won't be an issue though.

That's about it kids. I did mention the Suicide Prevention contact information, which you can find here below. I'll catch you all next week. Please feel free to reach out to me.

I went down a mighty rabbit hole on YouTube recently. Been there and done that? Well, I discuss my experience thoroughly at the top of this episode.

Onto what I'm into right now...

I promised a link to some Public Enemy and here ya go.

So, what you gonna do?

Yeah, I don't know either.

Besides listening to that, I've been enjoying the score to the Star Wars - Squadrons game. It's a full orchestral score. If you're a fan of the music, it's for you.

Finishing up the final season of Schitt's Creek. It's really the best show out there. Also, been finishing up Monsterland on hulu. Man, that final episode is a doozie!

Been catching up on some Gideon Falls books and the new Rise of Ultraman comics as well.

That's about it. Shy of one massive thing... 

This entire episode was recorded/edited on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ my friends. Yeah, I'm floored tech has advanced to the point where I can record a quality sounding podcast in my car with my Blue Nessie mic attached to the tablet...just waiting for my daughter during a doctor's appointment. Pretty amazing. Add some cheap software ($15) and noise reduction, mixing, levels, fades, and all that are available too. Incredible.

I honestly believe this will speed things up and allow me to record/drop episodes more often.

We'll see!
