WEBVTT - Episode 106: Quarantine Question Session 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.040 Hey, how's it going. Everyone, Welcome to another episode of 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.880 nerd if Ascent Issue Boy if you add the way, 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.560 and sitting across from me in the virtual studio is 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:25.840 Danny Fernidez. Yeah. We did it, We did it, still 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:31.920 doing it. Yeah, I hope my neighbors appreciate that. You 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.839 know what, It's so funny because everyone's just like, you know, 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.760 has to live their lives. And when I was walking 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.320 my dog, I could hear someone at nine this morning 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.720 just full blown belting out like singing. You know, in 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.120 l A, we have how many performers and they got to, like, 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.120 I don't know, keep doing their stuff. So like somebody 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.760 was hardcore, like just belting out of their apartment. Oh yeah, 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.160 that's It's so funny because that's what I definitely felt, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.600 because you know, I was doing super Punch at at 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.200 home and I just put up a green screen, just 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.720 go at it. And like typically when I'm in the studio, 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.120 Supermuch is a fairly loud show, like I'm usually yelling 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.800 a lot. They brought my uh, I have like a 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.080 megaphone that I would use intod of mic, but I 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.679 was like, I gotta do all that because it's also 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.040 a late night show, luckily Eastern time late night, but 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.959 it's from eight to eleven my time, eleven till like 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.639 two am their time. Uh So it's so the first 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.880 like night, I like I heard the neighbor like kind 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.959 of like knocking down, you know how they do. I'm 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.640 a bottom neighbor. So they were like stomping um and 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.360 I was like, and I just kind of kept going. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.720 I was like, well, they are in for it. And 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.720 then luckily they stopped, because if they had the audacity 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.960 to do it now. I was just putting Naomi to 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.800 bed a couple of days ago, and it sounded like 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.840 they were doing like w w e up there? Like 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.520 do you think they were working out? I don't know, 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.960 but I know they have kids too because I I 0:01:55.080 --> 0:02:03.280 hear the like the classic kid neighbor. But yeah, so 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.360 they they're I think like they just got like like 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.080 they must have like when we started it wasn't when Actually, yeah, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.560 it's true because when I started doing it from home, 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.600 it wasn't they the kids didn't have to stay home yet, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.680 and now that the kids have to stay home, they 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.160 don't complain because they know their kids are loud as hell. 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.000 So it worked out I have. The neighbor next to 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.760 me has a dog, and I can hear it. Wake 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.519 up everyone, Like I can hear the little scratching, like 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.600 the that only dog, like the weight of the dog, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.600 like I can just you know, it's very much not 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:42.359 a cat unless it's like like pound cat. Um. But yeah, 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.520 it's really funny. And my dog, I'm sure that they 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.720 can hear. Luckily, everybody in my apartment complex is animal friendly. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.760 But Molly, my dog, loves to if she gets a 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.600 little pent up, she'll do this thing where she does 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.120 little tiny sprints from the side of the apartment to 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:05.160 the other. UM, my sweet little babe. This week, we uh, 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.520 we asked a bunch of y'all to what you wanted 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.399 to ask us. UM. We haven't always done that. We've 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.359 taken you know, started to take more UM letters from 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.799 from our listeners and and this week we opened it 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.400 up to everything. Try to keep it NERD related. I 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.840 don't know if you notice. If you I had to 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.360 add NERD related in my n A, on Insta or else, UM, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.120 I'm sure would have gotten a different type of d 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.840 m s. But we're going to try to get to 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.640 as many as possible. UM. But first up, I have 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.960 one right off the bat. This is from Anichia sixteen. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.440 She said, besides the DBZ guys, what other anime guy 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.320 do you think is super hot? I feel like I 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.480 might have mentioned this sometime in the last two weeks, 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:54.040 but definitely Joe Joe and Joe start. Yeah, yeah, you're 0:03:54.080 --> 0:04:04.400 talking about being beautiful, pretty and he's thick. Yeah, you've 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:10.440 already heard me compliment how well they capture the the 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.640 the overall body mass for for the for those characters, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.920 you know, they don't they make sure that you know, 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.160 those boys are swollen. But also he has like big 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.400 beautiful lips too. I just love all the features, Like 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.000 I just love um the effort that was put into 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.159 just the beauty. I just I love it. Um. If 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.080 you do you have a question that you wanted to answer, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.359 Oh yeah, yeah, this one's one of those those fun ones. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.920 But they but Charles Xavier, which we've you know, on 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.760 another episode established that is his real name, as what 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.800 is our dream impossible crossover like seeing a my Hero 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.800 academic Damia Academy crossover, something along those lines, And my 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.760 impossible one is doing a movie adaptation of the Marvel 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.280 versus d c. I don't think it'll work. That was 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.640 going to be mine. Yeah, it's yeah, because you know, 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.039 the comics are good, and they keep like hinting that 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.320 they might do it in comics again. But I'd love 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:18.200 to see not only just them just that happened. But 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.320 I hope they play with it and maybe even include 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.120 Deadpool so that we can have a character. And they're 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:24.680 making fun of some of the people who have been 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.320 on both sides, uh for sure, like some of these 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.800 Google battles that they lost, Um well was it Captain 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.440 Marvel slash Shazam? But um yeah, I I totally agree. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.119 Maybe this pandemic will bring everyone together and they'll stop 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.479 fighting about who is better. Yeah. I want to see 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.920 that too, just because it's why not. You know, I 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.240 don't know how much longer Mother Earth is going to be. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.480 You know, we're gonna Mother Earth will can will exist. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.640 I don't know how much longer we will with all 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.760 all all of the plagues and the and the and 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.800 the flooding and the alive the final Apocalypse signs happening. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:14.840 So go ahead and make DC and Marvel come together. Um. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.720 I was gonna say something dumb like they should fight, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.280 like global warming or something. But I mean that'd be funny. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.799 All right, you stand by your stand by your little 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.400 goofy picks. But I've been stuck in this uh it's 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.680 like the Happening. I actually loved the beginning of the happening. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.600 I thought it was really creepy and then it turned 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.760 out that it was like the Earth trying to kill us, 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.720 and I was like that makes sense. Yeah, oh yeah, no, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.359 I've there's been so many there's so many uh takes 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.880 on the happening. But I had a group of friends 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.960 that really did like it, and I think, I think, yeah, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.080 I think it's a fun twist. But you know, because 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.480 I like what it's the Earth And I was like, yeah, 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.719 I mean you're not doing it in a fun way 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.440 where it's a fictional version and not talking about that 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.440 a coronavirus is the re and the Earth is healing. Yeah, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.920 I think it's a fun concept. Um. This is just 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.400 our dumb pitches. Please don't write us, Okay, this is 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.400 from d part Um two. Is there a network of 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.800 nerd creatives of color? Can there be? There's actually several 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.880 there's geeks of color that our friend Dorian created, highly 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.000 recommend following them. They do a lot of amazing coverage. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.400 He's really built a huge platform. Um Nerds of Color 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.200 is another great one that is out there. Um. I 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.320 think I follow Black Heroes Matter, which is another great one. Uh, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.200 there's so many. I mean really just go on you know, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.960 on Twitter and Instagram and like finding these spaces. Um, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.920 but there's a lot of meetups they'll do, uh just dope, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.480 you know, they tweet out dope job opportunities that they 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.720 run across. I think there's also writers of Color. If 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.160 you're a writer, Writers of Color on Twitter is great. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.800 They're constantly tweeting out different job openings from different places. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.360 Oh yeah, no, that's I think. Yeah, I think you're right. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.000 There's tons of resources and you know, uh, the w 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.200 g a's website has uh, you know, resources for things 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.040 like that. You'd be surprised, you know, not not being like, oh, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.280 just just just google, but like you honestly would be 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.760 surprised if you just look up if you google things 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:24.400 like Diversity's Fellowship to virtually diversity Scholarship, and there's uh 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.280 and even if you aren't a person of color. Because 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.240 I know this will be a follow up upon hearing this, 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.480 if you just look up Writer's Fellowship new writer entry 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.800 level Fellowships. Uh, there's also options there too. Taking it 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.679 from that dope question back to some nerdy debates, Uh, 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:45.480 mc dasty with a spicy opening before the questioning, Uh, 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.400 the m c U is currently better than the d 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:52.240 c E. I avoided that question there there there there 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.920 are people with Batman avatars on Twitter who would come 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.200 at you if you said that. But uh, you know 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.560 I agree. Uh. But do you think it's because the 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.680 executives that Marvel are fans? I actually don't think it's 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.520 necessarily that. I've said this many times and many again, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.600 which is the they Marvel figured out the formula of 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.280 not trying to make a superhero movie. They just make 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:22.000 a specific genre of movie that happens to involve superheroes. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.840 And the reason I know that's true is because the 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.400 DC movies that work are the ones that do that. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.960 Wonder Woman is a war movie, but it happens to 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.000 involve superheroes. Shazam is a coming of age movie that 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:41.120 happens to involve superheroes. Uh, even Aquaman. You know that 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.640 that one is a a royal, a royal exchange of 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.640 power movie. Uh. But almost I'd almost call it a 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.040 fairy tale, you know. I almost say Aquaman has like 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.120 a fairy tale spin on it. And I think that's 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.920 why some people love it and some people don't, because 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.360 if you really kind of if you take well Man 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.920 the hero out of it and like changed it to 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.559 Prince of Atlantis, like that's a that's a fairy tale story, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.160 and you have people who are down for that, and 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.640 you have people who are actively against that and try 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.839 and use every every chance they can to talk about 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.840 how much they think Disney is whacked because they're as 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.080 fun as a wet rag on a hot day. Well, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.959 that's actually pretty fun a wet rag on a cold day. Well, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.319 what I was going to say, because I know you're 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.280 talking specifically about the d C EU, and I guess, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.480 kind of going off of what you said, if he 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.720 is that, I think d C does a really great 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.800 job of their standalone films and so they're really different. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.000 Marvel has has a way of like bringing all of 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.760 these stories obviously that we saw in Endgame, an Infinity 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.120 War and Endgame, and even in Spider Man, which is 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.240 not owned um, which is not on Disney Plus because 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:02.600 it's Sony um, but uh, they bring all these stories together, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.720 and I feel like d C is actually, like the 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.560 ones that you named are really great stand alone ones, um, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.600 and I personally feel like they've done a really great 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.280 job over the past couple of years of doing that, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:22.960 even um with Joker, which you know, was I think 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.000 nominated for an Academy Award. I don't know, I don't 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.840 pay attention to award them, but I'm asking. I know 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.840 he's asking specifically about the DC, like all the Justice 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.000 League blah bah blah like all that. But I do 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.280 want to say d C as a as a company, 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.920 I think has done a good job with those stand 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.120 alone origin story that's like their bread and butter, and 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.280 that's they do a really good job of those. And 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.960 so I think it's kind of just comparing two completely 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.000 different things. Now. It's not like I'm saying that Marvel 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.960 doesn't have those origin stories, because they do. I just 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.679 think that these are such different franchises. I mean, one 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.480 of my favorite superhero movies of all time is Wonder Woman. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.880 I think that that that movie is just so flawless 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:13.520 to me. So saying you know that these films, I 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.480 don't even know if I would compare that film. I 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.480 guess it gets compared to um Captain America, But I 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.120 don't like actually comparing these franchises a lot. Like we 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.560 have another question that Star Wars and Star Trek, which 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.959 is like even more different than these. At least these 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.880 two are somewhat comparable Marvel in d C movies, whereas 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.319 Star Wars and Star Trek you're like now talking about 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.840 like a film franchise. Well, I guess they're both film 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.800 franchises now, but like just totally different. And I actually 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.400 don't like comparing these, So I'm I'm in the minority 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.280 where I feel like they've both done a good job. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.920 It's just they have some flops, like both of them, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:58.600 maybe one has really bad flops. But um yeah, but 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:04.319 DC Stay and Alone origin stories are pretty magnificent. Yeah, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.720 all right, do you have another question you want to 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.199 jump into since I asked them? Yes, Sorry, that was 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.720 a really long one. Um. Also I tried to I 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.440 try to not upset anybody that I'm auditioning forever, so 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.800 I see the beauty in both of the franchises. Um, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.440 here we go. If he This is from C. Kevin Bight. 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:32.720 Four favorite Saturday Morning cartoons growing up. For me, I 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.480 grew up in the specific end of nineties beginning of 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:44.040 Adds ABC morning cartoon that was Recess Pepper and um 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.680 what else was in that block? The Adventures of Winnie 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:52.160 the Boo. I do remember that. Um yeah, so that 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.560 was my specific Saturday morning cartoons. I also think Wayne 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.679 Head was Saturday Morning. Did you ever watch that? I 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.640 don't thought. Okay, yeah that was solid Wayne Wayne Head 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:08.840 was really good. So those were my specific Saturday ones. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.440 M yeah, No, for me, it was it was clear 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.960 I had that. I was in that four Kids anime block, 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:20.680 Anime training Wheels, so Ugio, Pokemon, all that stuff I was. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.520 I was drinking into my veins. I was trying to 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.640 like play Ugo against the players as the match went on, 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.680 which is if you don't know physically impossible, you cannot 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:37.480 do it. Uh Like. I was straight up, um like 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.120 had my deck and went. But the thing is is, 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:45.200 like it's impossible because they can't react to the moves 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.680 you're you're making and you can't and they're not attacking 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.960 your specific car you know, cards either. But I tried 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.760 with my hardest to do that because I was so 0:14:54.920 --> 0:15:00.640 into that whole that holes the series. I I loved it. Yeah, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:05.200 Pokemon Saturday Morning was also my jam definitely. This is 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.040 this is so funny. Um, this this is interesting because 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.920 I'm curious to your thoughts because, uh, you know, I 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.880 think we've we've both been married before and we both 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.520 have thoughts of relationships and all that. But the question 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.960 is should you marry a non nerd? And you know, 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.000 there's there's two knee jerk reactions, one being like yeah, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.560 of course and one being like no. And I think 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.000 there's two immediate reactions yes and the other is no, yeah, 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.320 because because I feel both ways. But like, more specifically, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.160 I think it's just how they treat your nerd dumb 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.800 Like do they do they look at it as like, oh, 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.760 you're doing something childish? Do they look down on it? 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.840 Do they not? You know, I've I've there's been relationships 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.680 where it's hard because you know, uh, if you've you know, 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.200 play video games to make money, it seems like you're 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.280 just playing video games and and and even though you 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.560 are working. You know, it's it's real funny in this 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.720 industry because like you're going like if you go into 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.880 a comedy festival, it looks like you're just going to 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:15.920 a different uh state city just a party and drink 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.960 and and goof off, and you're kind of doing that, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.800 but that's part of the job. You're also like networking 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.800 building relationship with other comics when if so, if they 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.440 can't see you doing those things, and this is more specific, 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.160 like if if it's your career, uh, then then that's 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.320 gonna be hard. But also just like if they can't 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.360 understand that that's why you like it, or they can't 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.800 give it a chance because obviously, yeah, there's gonna be 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.120 sometimes that you want to sit down together and watch 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.800 something and if they can't watch, you know, something nerdy 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.160 with you because they're just like so adverse to it, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.800 that's gonna put a strain on your relationship. For me, though, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.400 my knee jerk is, what do you mean non nerdy? 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.840 Because I feel like a lot of people have like 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.040 this haughty opinion, like they hold themselves really in high 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.760 esteem for being into like anime or comic books or 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.480 video games. When you can be nerdy about a lot 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.440 of things, like if I think of my little brother, 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.760 he works on cars, that is a world that I 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.520 do not care about, but like that's nerdy to me 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.600 to know all that stuff. There's people that are super 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:21.199 into science, and um, I consider even stuff like my 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.760 friends are super nerdy about makeup. Makeup artists are insane, 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.320 like they know types of brushes, color palettes, like they 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.800 can do special effects work like that to me is nerdy. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.520 So I think I would also broaden what you consider 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.280 nerdy and do you care about their interests that they're into. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.560 My ex mark ellis that we have had on here 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.639 is the biggest sports nerd I have ever met in 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.879 my life. He can tell you every Super Bowl. He 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.760 can tell you stats of players that played in the eighties, 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.520 Like that is his thing and it comes in handy 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.400 because he does stuff for like ESPN. But that's really 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.600 nerdy as hell. He has a ton of baseball cards 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.720 that he collects, like he also has Magic the Gathering cards, 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.479 So like those are two different types of nerdy. So 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.679 I would just say I feel like this this question 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.199 gets lotted at women a lot for being not nerds, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.280 and I'm like, but they're nerds about different types of 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.399 things and they and they know those things really well, 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.600 and so that to me is just I guess that's 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.480 my knee jerk. Is like just because they're not into 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.880 the specific things you are. As long as you guys 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.160 respect each other, it might be an opportunity. Another thing 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.080 about Mark was he was a huge rock and roll nerd, 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.879 like same thing. Knew all this stuff and I in 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.600 an attempt to get to know him better because I didn't. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.639 He was eight to ten years older than me, so 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.520 he came from a different generation than I did. Uh. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.159 He was very much an eighties kid, and so I 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:49.720 listened to Duff mccagan's Guns and Roses audio biography, which 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.280 I found fascinating because it's not a world I'm from, 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.080 and I thought that was really cool. So listening to 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.119 like the backstory on Pearl jam or Van Halen, I'm like, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:00.880 I do not know the this world, and I find 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.600 this really cool. He doesn't watch a lick of anime, 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.919 so that was like something I was trying to introduce 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:08.880 him to. But I think, as long as you're like, hey, 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.719 this is really neat, I want to get to know 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.600 your world. I think as long as y'all can be 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.400 respectful of each other in your interests, because I mean, 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.600 if your person is not into anything that's kind of 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.480 weird and a red flag and are they a mannequin um, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:26.479 But I bet they're into something that they know really well. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:31.560 So yeah, okay, so me next, maybe this one. This 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.359 is from D M. Coop. What movie do you wish 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.000 was in theaters the day they open back up? And 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.000 I'm going to take that as something that has been 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.560 in theaters in the past and or is coming out. 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.520 So for me, what do I want to see in 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.760 theaters again? You know what? I actually would not mind 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.720 seeing Into the Spider Verse in theaters again in imax. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.000 I think that would be really dope. I wouldn't mind 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.280 if when theaters open backed up, they just were like 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.840 rewarded people by showing it. A Yeah, that would be fun. 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.680 I I look forward to the double feature that's definitely 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.320 gonna have happened when the sequel eventually comes out, because, 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.359 like I said, I missed seeing it in theaters. It 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.359 was just one of those That's the funny thing with movies, 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:20.040 and that's the funny thing with uh. Also, just how 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.639 we um how we me meaning you and us and 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.960 people in our industry just are all have so much 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.600 media to digest that sometimes it'll just pass you up 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.160 and like I don't I don't make it any easier 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.000 by also being like deep into video games and streaming 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.760 so that I just have so little time, which is 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:45.240 why it's been fun going through the backlogs and uh 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:49.720 in Quarantine and just like also buying, uh just deep 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.560 blue rays of stuff that that there's something to blind 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.560 buying where it's like I haven't seen it. I know 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.280 I'm probably gonna like it, but it would be funny 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:03.160 if I did. And I have this blue ray. Um. 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.520 But like I've had to, I've been doing a lot 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.359 of purchasing because since I can't leave, all I do 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.320 is spend money. Um And I got the whole Higho 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:17.720 Miyazaki collection and uh so because before that I only 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.720 saw Ponio. So now I've seen kikiS Delivery Service and 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.560 my neighbor doctor Row and I'm gonna check out like 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:28.720 Spirited Away Princess Mononoke, which you know, I'm probably gonna 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.120 make Naomi sit that one out. It seems like it's 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:35.200 a little too intense for her. Um. But some of these, 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.359 like I'd love to go back and see some of 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.040 those in theaters, and like some of the older film 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:45.480 things too, because there's something like the Egyptian they'll to 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.919 play like reprint of film stuff, and you know that's 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:54.800 that's always dope. I'm trying to go through the top 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.760 I can't remember which it might be Rotten Tomatoes, but 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.480 it's like the top one hundred horror films so that 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.560 I can officially step into even though I'm a horror baby, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:08.520 I want to officially be horror queen. And and like 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:12.280 some of those are like so old really we're talking 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:16.000 like some of them are non speaking, They're like silent films. 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.800 But um, I find that fascinating, like you said, like 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.919 going back and watching like black and white films and 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.320 stuff too. I need to get on that game. Oh yeah, no, 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.119 that's the that's a that's something I've been trying to 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.640 do more because you know, with who shot you, I'm 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:35.679 just so used to doing these like um the you know, 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.879 these like contemporary films. But talking with Dre and Alonso 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.439 who like her, you know Drea who like she you know, 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.320 programs film festivals, and Alonso, who has been like a 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.840 movie fan, we're doing this thing called, uh this is 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.439 your movie life when we talk about our favorite films 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:54.040 at different points of our life. And like Alonso has 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:57.680 always been like a movie fan you know, like he's 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:01.280 talking about all these like steamed movies that he was 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:05.400 into like when he was like twelve. Yeah. Yeah, Um, 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.320 we have to take a really quick break and then 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.960 we're going to hop back into more of your questions 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:21.880 right after this, and we are back still taking your questions. 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:24.800
