Tony Stark caused this

Tony Stark caused this

So let's be honest we all know that the world haven't been ok since Tony Stark died. I mean really come on think about it ever since the third snap things have really gone down hill and it's not like we can time travel to get the stones back to "fix" what has happened. Also rockets are cool.

PC master race and the new kids

PC master race and the new kids

So nerds are starting to have the world in there pocket so to speak. PC building has really started to become main stream these last few years and maybe it's the sign of the times. Build vs bought is a very big debate in many circles and it just keeps heating up.

Saying goodbye and new toys

Saying goodbye and new toys

Having to say goodbye to someone that really was still pretty young is hard. It's even harder when it's someone who inspired you from a young age and let you know it's fine to be who you are. This world lost a great inventor and inspiration and will be at a loss moving forward.

The future of things

The future of things

Not the episode I wanted to make but the one that needed to be made. Got lots of bad news coming these last few months it seems and it's getting worse. Turns out you can get kicked out during these times for doing all the right things who would of thought.

Fingers crossed that today is the first manned flight of Space X. The first flight got scrubbed so today is a backup day but this marks a serious leap in our advancement of space exploration.

Worst week in the history of weeks

Worst week in the history of weeks

Well I've been gone for over a month at this point. I had to do some soul searching and figuring things out trying to decide what my next move was going to be. I'll be honest I didn't think I would come back to the podcast at one point but I found the more I didn't do it I began to miss it and that I needed some kind of normal in my life. Last week was by far the worst week in the history of weeks that I have ever had and it started with losing my step dad to cancer then that dang Rona virus hit and everyone lost there damn minds. So here's me trying to be "normal" and have at least something that I can look forward to doing everyday. Thanks for sticking with me and being such a great and amazing fan base that all of you are.

Cancer sucks

Cancer sucks

Life is short make the most of it. I'm trying to keep myself out of the deep dark pit I was in when I lost my dad now I'm going through it again with my step dad. I don't know what the road map for the future looks like right now.

C8 Corvette news and building out the studio

C8 Corvette news and building out the studio

So big news day here for the show. Got the news this morning that I'm official on the list of waiting for the new C8 :) Also I don't know if I will take delivery of it or not lots of things still up in the air. Doing house hunting stuff and building the studio which is always a mixed time currently sitting here playing the waiting game on some gear to show up so I can finish up the odds and ends stuff for now. And last but not least I got notice at work yes I work a day job outside the show that I'm on 12 hour shifts for the foreseeable future so what that means with uploads and what not I have no idea but will cross and probably burn that bridge when I get to it.

episode 150 chasing dreams

episode 150 chasing dreams

What would it take for you to chase your dreams? I started this show almost two years ago people told me I wouldn't do it or stick with it that I wouldn't hit 10 episodes and now here I am at 150. This got me thinking what is stopping people from chasing dreams they have. Maybe it's a money thing as I'm sure tons of people will say that is what stops them or maybe it's fear of failure. Sometimes you have to burn your damn boats and go for it. #podcast #itunes #applepodcasts #spotify #startup #smallbusiness #nerd #geek #podcasts

C8 Corvette first ride

C8 Corvette first ride

So the new Corvette is a freaking monster in a good way. This is the car that broke the internet when it was shown to the public and now I fully understand why. So much performance for the money lots of super car owners are gonna be salty about losing to this thing. I'm a big car guy I've had the privilege of having a few of my dream cars but this is one that I need to own at some point. Being a car guy can be fun and frustrating at the same time and trying to stay on top or at the front of things can be very expensive. I'm slowly starting to become daily with the show as well it's become a part of my daily life. #vette #corvette #c8 #itunes #apple #applepodcasts #spotify #nerd #geek #nerdalert #automotive

Studio Upgrade

Studio Upgrade

I got on that studio upgrade game over the weekend making big leaps with the new Yeti X. I have a lot to figure out and get dialed in but baby steps hell it's taken me 1 year and 8 months to get to this point and I'm just starting. Lots of people ask me what is my secret to creating and my answer is always the same it's consistency. Constantly looking forward to the future and setting goals for yourself to hit. Not like hey I'm going to be the next billion dollar show or I'm going out in five months getting a super car but hey if I get five people to listen my next goal is 20 or 50. Maybe it's that next gear item be it a mixer or microphone or head phones maybe it's to get off you phone and have a computer setup. I started on my phone now I'm hear slowly crawling my way to that dedicated studio for the podcast for the show. I'm thinking the next step from here is live streams of the show as I record them because maybe some people want to watch as well. I don't know where they will be at yet but once I know you all will know. I hope everyone has a happy and good Monday if that's even a thing and thank you all for your support of the show. #itunes #applepodcasts #podcastinglife #radio #podcasts #yetix #blue #monday #mondaymotivation

the jawa problem

I swear I leave the studio for two dang seconds and these damn Jawa strip everything. I swear it's hard to find good help these days lol. Been having uploading issues with my hosting provider so episodes have been lacking for the past few days. I also might be slightly obsessed with The Mandalorian but it is so damn good. Playing with the idea of getting some merchandise going as well let me know what you think about that over on the Facebook page. #starwars #mandalorian #themandalorian #disneyplus #endgame #marvel #nerd #videogames #sonic #startup #smallbusiness

The Mandalorian ep.1

The Mandalorian ep.1

Disney + is live and with it a treasure box of nerd and geek films. Spoiler free first take on the very first episode of The Mandalorian right after watching the episode. This is my personal take on the episode and the franchise so far as a fan you are entitled to your view point and feel free to disagree with me I welcome it. Only rule I ask is that you don't drop spoilers for fellow fans nerds dorks and geeks that haven't seen it yet. Expect this episode of the podcast to be dropped every Tuesday about 11AM EST. Also Twitch will be going live so if you want to watch a live behind the scenes look at the podcast that will be available as well in about a week or so. Make sure to hit that Facebook page to keep the conversation going and let me know what you thought about the episode again please keep it spoiler free. #disney #disneyplus #starwars #nerd #geek #comicbook #mandalorian #TheRiseOfSkywalker #themandalorian

Punisher returns

Punisher returns

Well it's that time of year for the auto makers to be doing model change overs and with that comes lay offs. Walked into some crappy news about the future of things and this and that but hey the weekend was pretty awesome. Diablo 4 World of Warcraft Shadow Lands and what a Star Craft 2 tournament. Plus Disney and Marvel are doing an R rated section of the company for such movies like Deadpool Blade and Punisher so super excited about that as well. #disney #marvel #punisher #blade #deadpool #blizzard #diablo #worldofwarcraft

Snakes why did it have to be snakes

Snakes why did it have to be snakes

This looks like the last Indie we will get with Harrison Ford sadly. It's time to pass the hate off to someone else but always hard to say goodbye at the same time. The mando on Disney plus looks nuts all the early reviews have come back very positive about it so really looking forward to that sucking up my time starting November 12th. Beer dude at game five of the world series might have a pretty awesome job for not dropping his beers when getting hit with a home run ball if only the company can find him (why can't this happen to the show we love free beer). Could the Punisher and Daredevil be coming back as movies in the near future? #disney #disneyplus #starwars #punisher #marvel #netflix #strangerthings

Figuring out what's important

Figuring out what's important

This is something I have thought about for the last year. I use to be goal and career driven but lately that's really started the shift and it's not like oh screw this I want something new. I've really been thinking what if I was my own boss for so long I've been if I hit this goal I will be happy if I do x y z I will be happy and turns out I'm not. So a restructure in life is needed how I do that is unknown but I do know that it needs to happen. Both the wife and myself are chasing after our dreams which is awesome and amazing just these next few years are going to be battle and a struggle but hey if you aren't struggling then you aren't pushing hard enough.
