Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Journal of My Life that covers all things anime, comics, moves and games. This is ACMG presents TALK TIME LIVE, The Prime Show. I am your host, Xavier Josiah. Folks, we are back. As I said before, we weren't going to have a Sunday show. It was going to be Monday, because yesterday my wife, she participated in the Philadelphia Distance Run, which is a half 5K and half marathon run. She normally does like full marathons, but she's settling down. So like she decided to do a half marathon. She still likes to run. She's been running ever since high school when she ran track and all this stuff. So she always on a go. And this was no different. She did absolutely excellent in this in this run. She went under two hours, which is pretty good in standard. Like two hours is the standard, but if you go under, that's even better. And she went under two hours with that. And she still has the stamina and the run to do this. So I'm just glad that it wasn't in November with the Philadelphia Marathon. I am, she knows this. I'm not a fan of the Philadelphia Marathon for a lot of reasons. But one, it's cold out there during that winter time. Two, she's doing a full marathon. So that's 26.2 miles, which means it's also four hours of running for her, which she loves. But it's four hours of me being out there. And even more, like the security has gotten so crazy with the Philadelphia Marathon that I can't even get in there until a certain time. So if I can't get in there and I'm going in there early with her, I'm like, what's the point? And then I can't even, I think last time I went in there, they didn't let me go with my camera and my gimbal and all this stuff. The Philadelphia distance run, I had no issue with that at all. Shout out to them. They put together a really good marathon. I was able to go in, document all the footage that I had for us. And she did a great job. And I got some of the best video footage ever using my Canon camera and my gimbal and all this stuff.

It's awesome. And the pictures that I were able to take was phenomenal for my camera. So all because they allowed me to do it. So it worked out perfectly. And then she did two hours. That was nothing. Two hours is much better than four hours, I'm telling you, because I could go into Starbucks. I was able to get some work done there, sit, chill for a bit and track her down, make sure I could make it to the finish line, which I did. Like the timing couldn't have been better for that. So congratulations to her, especially to the fact that like a lot of and all the runners of that race, because they had to weather the storm literally out there was raining. It was, you know, raining very hard out there at times. And, you know, my wife hates running in the rain. She hates. I love walk. I love the rain. I used to hate it, too, but I, you know, it was more of a metaphorical means for me. But I've gotten over that, you know, during my high school years. It's like I embrace it now, like everything. I embrace it all. So.

She weathered the storm really well and I couldn't be more proud of her. Congratulations to her and congratulations to all the runners out there as well. Speaking of celebration, speaking of congratulations and celebrating, I can officially say this. This is awesome. ACMG presents TALK TIME LIVE.

So we're going to continue that road as we go on to October. We got October coming. And you know what happens in October. New York Comic Con is coming here. This episode, we're going to talk about all the panels that I've reserved for, the ones that I'm anticipating for, including one that I didn't, I contemplated that they were happening. I was hoping they would have. And in fact, they are having it. And it's a big one, especially for you Arrowverse fans. So we'll talk about that. All of the panels that I am anticipating will be attending in the next segment. We also got to talk about Variety's top 10 box office grossing movies of all time. They did the diligence and did the work to narrow it down. I don't think you need a crystal ball to predict the obvious what number one is, because it was just recently announced on that. So we'll talk about that as well. Resident Evil also breaking records, the latest adaptation to the video game. Breaking records despite mixed reviews from some fans out there. We'll talk about that as well. And we've recently celebrated Batman Day this year, and Batman and a Super Sentai legend is set to do a crossover that I am absolutely looking forward to. So we will talk about that in the next segment. And in our, I was about to say final stage, in our talk topic of the week, we will discuss what is for me 40 years in the making, that is me attending the theaters to see TRANSFORMERS The Movie now.
