Dad Snark Podcast

So, that really wasn't so long was it? I am able to knock one of these out weekly I think. Still building out my stuff at home (mostly a place to record in peace AKA "a studio"), but I can still produce something for you.

Plenty happening in this episode other than just me telling everyone to "play nice" I promise. That is an overarching theme though. There's even a call to action. I want you all to commit to it also, and not just for the one day. That's somewhere to start though.

I cover a few other things that I'm very interested in after discussing some humanity helping projects led by my family. This includes a deal my wife did with her girl scouts and a local church a few years ago. They made blankets for the homeless out of repurposed plastic shopping bags and it was pretty fricking cool.

I caught a show on Netflix and binged the hell out of it over the past week and it's totally stuck with me. Check out "Love Death + Robots" when you get a chance. It's very profane at times, but it's great. Think of it as a modern version of "Heavy Metal" or something like that.

Detective Comics also hit #1000 recently and I snagged a copy for archival purposes. I don't really read Bats too much, but I love this artwork.

Still listening to a lot of K-Hip-Hop (Korean Hip-Hop) and loving it. You can check it out too right here on Spotify.

"Queer Eye" on Netflix is another show we're totally into at Trail Mansion. I recall "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" back in the day, and it's a similar idea, but these dudes help out whomever. Men, Women, Straight, Gay, and on and on. It's pretty cool, but grab some tissue before you start it up. You will shed a tear or ten. If you're human and not a dipshit anyway.

And last, but not least, go and subscribe to my son's and his friend's YouTube Channel. It's something else. I'm helping him with purchasing decisions and advice as far as producing episodes. It's a fun idea and I'm excited to see him motivated about the idea. Give it a shot and take in a few episodes even if it's not your fare.

"legit review 870" is the name and...something is the game.

See you again in about a week. Remember...be nice and happy listening.

Hey all,

I know it's been straight up ages and ages and...that's enough. It's been far too long since I've put up a new episode. So, I've rectified that.

In addition, this here podcast is due for an overhaul. I'm thinking that it's time to just come clean and plan on admitting that it's gonna just be me on here. If/when I have other people on, they'll be guests and that's just the icing on the cake right?

Mostly, though, it'll be me and I'm also working on getting a home office studio set up so that I can produce some videos of myself ranting on and on about a variety of things I'm into. New tech, music, movies, comics, etc........

So, there ya go as far as the reboot goes. Still the same website, podcast name, and all that shit. Semi new situation though. I think it's gonna be a blast and I look forward to producing some cool stuff for you. At least it'll be cool to me right?

I was pretty upset at not going to Planet Comicon again this year. Used to be we went as a family every year, but with the wife's achilles tendon surgery rehab still happening, it wasn't gonna go down again this year. After a quick discussion, though, we decided I'd go solo for a few hours on Sunday.

Gotta say, it was great! I just walked around with my bluetooth earbuds in ear on "pass through" mode the whole 3+ hours cranking the "Viking Blöd" playlist on Spotify.  Got that sucker, all 461 songs, downloaded locally on my phone. That helped so much too as Planet Comicon is a fucking madhouse now. Total insanity!

Well, mostly it was just about people watching, but if you know me then you know a few things I might've been after. Marvel Super Specials are some of my favorite items in comic history. They were a big deal for me as a kid and I absolutely adored them. Still do. So, I was on the prowl. But, first things first, I needed a new "Hawkman" tee.

After that, though, I was looking and looking at pretty much everything in addition to comics. That's a good thing too, because there's not a ton of comics there to be honest. There's a lot of shit that's big in pop culture because of comics though. Video game tourneys and cosplay have overtaken the event for sure though. Makes for fun people watching!

I ended up happening across a table from a small comic vendor, though, that had something I've always wanted. I'm not overly concerned with mint condition and all that stuff. I just want it. Man-Thing #1 was right there in front of me and for a cray cray low price. I couldn't believe it. Of course, being the neurotic I am, I kept walking around and returned to the booth about 6 total times, even started to leave and went down the escalator then back up before just buying it. I also snagged Moon Knight #1 (1979) for super cheap.

And that's about the extent of it. I did snag a sweet Deadpool charm bracelet for the wife too.

So, I recorded this podcast episode en route to downtown KC. I cover a variety of things, but you'll just have to listen kids. Stay tuned!

So, it's yet another from me alone. Kinda fun one though...if you enjoy semis honking at each other.

Here's what all I cover in this one:

Go get yourself one of these if you have a big truck and a small penis.

GLOW is a fantastic show. Maron is pretty damned good as well. You may also dig a little trip to Castle Rock.

Like graphic novels? I'm reading "Come Again" by Nate Powell right now myself. It was suggested on Instagram by the amazing Jeff Lemire actually. Also I'm reading a regular novel by Stephen King called "The Outsider" which is pretty outstanding as well as listening to "Mr. Mercedes" on Audible right now.

My buddy Aaron Becker was suggested as a personal trainer by Kyle Farmer and it's going great. Give his website a look see. Maybe you're interested. Tell him Kyle Trail sent ya.

That's about it kids. More to come soon.

So, here we are. It's been far too long again and I'm promising to "get the band back together" right from the start. I will. I promise.

Other than that, I go on and on about Fanboys and their bullshit and just basically I solve the problem of us all being nice to each other. You're welcome.

As far as my drone footage goes, here's a few links of stuff I've done with it.

Here's some footage from my first few flights with my DJI Spark...

Well, what can I say about this one? Not much.

At first it's just another of my driving rants covering what's bugging me and things I'm into. Then we jump right into a couple of clips recorded during the infamous Scout Dad Fishing Trip last December.

I talk alot at the beginning about Marvel Super Specials.

During these conversations, we all came together to discuss some of the most important issues of our time including (but not limited to) action films, tentacle porn, and fine Japanese cinema (seriously).

I know I laughed so hard I had a few tears listening to this again. Oh man, we're funny.
