Good morning.

Good evening.

Good afternoon.

Well, today is November 11th, 2024.

And today is a holiday here in the United States of America.

We’re celebrating Veterans Day.

And it’s the first holiday after the election.

It’s on the mind of a lot of my friends and colleagues.

And it’s one of those things.

But, you know, we got to keep on pushing through.

And I’m celebrating this, the fourth iteration of this weekly podcast.

And it’s going to be okay.

This is actually my second recording of the day.

The first one, the application ferrite that I use to record and edit, you know, by edit, I mean, just add the intro and outro.

It crashed.

And I’m very sad about that.

But, you know, it gives me another opportunity to record this podcast for you.

So a couple things that I’m doing, I’m about to watch the series finale, or season finale of The Penguin.

It’s a show on Max, or I think it’s HBO Max, or they keep on changing the name.

Anyway, it’s where all the DC properties are right now.

And the show’s I’m enjoying it.

Unfortunately, I hear a lot of people comparing it to The Sopranos, which isn’t isn’t something that I’ve seen.

It’s almost when someone who who’s never had pizza eats a calzone for the first time.

And people are like, Oh, you know, it’s like, it’s like pizza.

I’m like, okay, well, I don’t know what that means.

But I’m enjoying this.

But like, you know, pizza is so much better than calzones.

I’m like, well, I’m still enjoying this.

And I’ve never had pizza.

So for me, it’s the final episode.

It’s had some wonderful scenes that I really, really enjoy.

And I don’t know if they’re gonna make a second season because I haven’t seen finished this one, but I recommend it.

Another thing that I’m watching, or I have watched was Boy Kills World, which is this action movie, a lot of like the raid in the fact that there’s a lot of really, really over the top action, and it’s got a little bit of a comedy element, dark comedy, obviously, obviously, but it’s, it was enjoyable.

I’m gonna write a review and put that on my website.

One of the things that really caught my eye about it was the fact that it had the same kid from The Boys, which is a show that I watch on a regular basis.

And he is in it as a small role, but it caught my eye that he was in it.

I was like, Oh, yeah, let me check this out.

So I really like it, especially if you’re into Tarantino movies, I think this is pretty good.

It does not have the dialogue of a Tarantino movie, but it does have the action of a Tarantino movie.

And like, people get hurt quite a bit.

So if you’re not into the gore, don’t, don’t check it out.

Another thing that’s going on is like we’re in the middle of NaNoWriMo slash National Blog Month slash everybody writes something every day for 30 days, November, as well as Movember.

And I haven’t really been doing that this month.

The I think, with the election and just the general busyness of what’s happening, I haven’t had a chance to do a lot of that.

I’ve done very small posts every day, but I had ideas or aspirations, more likely to do more writing, but it didn’t happen.

Or it’s not happening to the extent that I originally had hoped.

But I had already taken a step back and said, you know, this is probably not a good time for me to do that, even if it’s a welcome distraction.

What I have done is I have gotten more into working out.

I’ve found all my weights, and I’ve been lifting those a little bit, getting a sweat and enjoying the soreness that I get the next day.

So I’m really excited about that.

I’m hoping to continue and to lift the weights up a little bit more.

I’m right now, I’m very grateful to do the five pounds.

I have five pound weights I’m using.

I’m using the Apple Fitness Plus app.

And so that’s like, oh, yeah, we’re my middle one, my heavy weights, we’re doing like 15 pounds or 19 pounds, and my heavy one is 20 pounds.

That’s great.

That’s something I’ll do when I get to that level.

But right now I’m just doing the, not just, but I’m happy to do the five pounds and finish the workout and get a sweat.

So, hey, any workout is better than no workout.

Anyway, I just wanted to keep this real fast, real quick.

I hope that this podcast finds you well, and I hope to see you next week.

Bye.
