Op je beeldscherm kun je nu een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily zien shinen. Elke doordeweeks dag brengen we de meest spraakmakende ontwikkelingen naar je toe in de vorm van een vodcast. Een vodcast die ongeveer 20 minuten van jouw tijd in beslag neemt. Ideaal om even in de auto of bij sporten te beluisteren. Ben je helemaal bij. Vandaag zit Huey bij JJ aan de desk. De twee hebben het over de nieuwtjes die naar voren kwamen over de God of War TV-serie en het eindelijk speelbaar zijn van Hollow Knight: Silksong. Deze topics en meer zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van donderdag 31 juli 2025. God of War TV-serie draait om de Noorse mythologie van de laatste delenGK Daily verschijnt elke doordeweekse dag. Behalve op de vrijdag. Vrijdag is de dag dat we EvdWL presenteren, onze uitgebreide talkshow met een overzicht van alle game gerelateerde nieuwtjes van die week. In deze GK Daily praten Huey en Koos over de feitjes die bekend zijn geworden over de nieuwe God of War TV-serie. Zo gaat de serie zich afspelen in de Noorse setting van de laatste twee games. Is dat een goed ding? We kijken ook naar de rol van de bedenker van God of War, Cory Barlog. Wordt hij intensief genoeg betrokken bij de productie? Je krijgt onze antwoorden in deze video.Nieuwe Xbox-games komen ook bij release naar de andere consolesEr was ook nieuws rond twee nieuwe games van Xbox, die mogelijk direct vanaf dag één op alle platformen worden uitgebracht. Welke zijn dat? Is Xbox daarmee nu echt een third party publisher geworden? De tijdelijke exclusiviteit lijkt immers nu ook weg te zijn. Hoe blij is Hollow Knight-fan Huey dat het nieuwe deel eindelijk speelbaar gaat zijn op de Gamescom? Waarom is er eigenlijk zo'n hype rond dit spel, meteen vanaf het moment dat Silksong werd aangekondigd in 2019?

En daar houden we van bij Gamekings. Wij gaan ons best doen om de vrije dagen optimaal op te starten. Dat doen we zoals altijd met een nieuwe episode van Einde van de Week Live. De drie heren van dienst zijn dit keer Huey, Jelle en Koos. Zij gaan praten over een flink aantal topics. Neem bijvoorbeeld de presentatie van de gameplay van Battlefield 6. Hoe bevielen de beelden de heren? Hoe beviel hen de Nintendo Direct die draaide om third party games. Zat daar nog wat van hun gading tussen? En hoe kijken ze aan tegen de pittige uitspraken van de bekende Japanse developers Fueda en Kojima dat er nauwelijks meer innovatie is in de gamesindustrie? Deze drie onderwerpen en meer komen voorbij in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 1 augustus 2025.Is Battlefield 6 terug van weg geweest?Er gebeurde deze week nog veel meer. Alles en meer wordt besproken in deze video. Zo zorgde de vacature voor een persoon die de multiplatform strategie bij PlayStation zou gaan opzetten en leiden voor de nodige onrust. Boze PS5-bezitters mailden PlayStation massaal. Hoe reageerden de Japanners daar op? En hoe kan LEGO 2K Drive 2 keer zo veel geld kosten om te maken dan NBA2K25? Het wordt allemaal besproken in deze video.Pak 100 euro korting op de Vector 16 HX AI gaming laptopMSI zet deze week de Vector 16 HX AI in het zonnetje.

By the age of 18, James Cox knew he wanted to fly helicopters. In 1969 he arrived in Vietnam as a Huey gunship pilot, an assignment full of risk considering over one-third of all Hueys in combat were shot down during the war. After his tour, he was assigned as an instructor pilot back in the United States. There he found flying with his students to be too dangerous for his taste -- so he requested a second tour back in Vietnam.
Welkom bij Nerd Culture Episode 219, de podcast waar popcultuur, films en supermarkten elkaar elke week in de armen vliegen. Deze week met Jelle én Huey aan het roer van de Enterprise! We duiken vol in de spoilers met een uitgebreide bespreking van Fantastic Four: First Steps. Hebben het over de eerste trailer van Avatar: Fire and Ashes — die we zó slecht vonden dat we officieel solliciteren als trailer editors. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is: South Park is terug met een nieuw seizoen waarin Trump op z'n eigen manier weer compleet voor gek wordt gezet. En uiteraard is er heet nerd nieuws: wat mogen we de komende jaren allemaal van de MCU verwachten en is Clayface een waardige opvolger voor Superman in de DCU. Je gaat het allemaal meemaken in deze spiksplinternieuwe aflevering van: Nerd Culture.Fantastic Four Spoiler ReviewSpoiler alert! In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture gaan we diep in op Fantastic Four: First Steps — Marvels Studios poging om de First Family eindelijk een waardige plek in het MCU te geven. We bespreken alles: van de eerste stapjes tot de verrassende after credits scène. Hoe werkt de humor en de dynamiek tussen de karakters? Wat doet deze versie anders dan de vorige Fan4stic? En hoe zien Jelle en Huey Matt Shakman's invloed terug in deze herstart? Als je de film nog niet hebt gezien: geen zorgen, we bespreken de film eerst volledig spoilervrij. Om vervolgens all-in te gaan — It's clobberin' time!Avatar: Fire and Ashes Trailer ReviewWe kregen een verrassing tijdens de pers screening van Fantastic Four! De eerste trailer van Avatar: Fire and Ashes... en we zijn, je verwacht het niet, allesbehalve onder de indruk. Disney kon niet wachten om te horen wat we ervan vonden! Weten we ook meteen weer dat ze nooit kijken. Zitten de mensen straks weer massaal in de bioscoop of is dit het moment waarop de Avatar-franchise in vlammen opgaat? We bespreken waarom deze trailer alles mist wat een trailer zou moeten doen, van de slechte oneliners tot de muziekkeuze. Sterker nog: we denken dat we het beter kunnen — dus vanaf nu zijn we officieel beschikbaar als editors. James Cameron, bel ons. South Park Seizoen 27: Trump en de kleine paal South Park is terug, en hoe. In het nieuwste seizoen richten Trey Parker en Matt Stone hun pijlen op Paramount en Trump — en zetten ze hem letterlijk en figuurlijk voor een iets te kleine paal. We bespreken de eerste afleveringen en hoe South Park er nog steeds in slaagt om na 27 jaar nog steeds relevant, scherp en grappig te blijven. Hoe ver durven ze dit seizoen nog te gaan? Jelle en Huey nemen je mee door satire, absurditeit en alles ertussenin.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Nico Juber, Joe Barros, Jade McLeod, Diana Huey, and Gabby Boera about the new musical Winner. Winner was written by Nico Juber and Joe Barros. Inspired by the queer journeys and bi erasure of its writers, Winner tells a coming out and coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a rigged election at a Southern California high school in 1999. The musical explores a female-identifying queer narrative and is one of the first to explore bisexuality. The story centers around Autumn, a high-achieving senior vying for the position of student body president, and her secret girlfriend Stevie, who unexpectedly becomes her opponent in the election. The musical incorporates a time loop, where the day resets three times, and a different girl wins the race each time. The plot unfolds as Autumn, desperate to win the election to secure a college scholarship, discovers that the new electronic voting system at school was manipulated. This revelation sets off a chain of events that forces Autumn to confront her identity and the consequences of hiding her relationship with Stevie. Autumn's decision to prioritize her relationship with Stevie and her truth over winning the election leads to a public coming out that ultimately breaks the time loop, redefining what it means for Autumn to win. This episode features the songs “Let's Start Again”, performed by Alex Wyse and Jade McLeod, and also “Wildefire” performed by the Concept EP Cast of Winner The Musical.

Nieuwe dag, nieuwe editie van Gamekings Daily. Zo rollen wij tegenwoordig bij Gamekings. Elke doordeweekse dag brengen we jou een vodcast met daarin de laatste ontwikkelingen en de meest spraakmakende roddels binnen de gamesindustrie. Dat doen we in pak hem beet 20 minuten tijd. Vandaag heeft Huey zijn plek ingenomen achter de desk en gaat hij met JJ het gesprek aan. De twee hebben het onder andere over het succes van Donkey Kong Bananza, de verklaring van Ubisoft voor de matige verkoop van Star Wars Outlaws en het tijdstip van de officiële reveal van de nieuwe Battlefield. Deze topics en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de GK Daily van maandag 21 juli 2025.'Star Wars Outlaws verkocht niet goed omdat Star Wars niet hip meer is'GK Daily verschijnt elke doordeweekse dag. Op de laatste dag van de week, de vrijdag na. Dan presenteren we EvdWL, onze uitgebreide talkshow met een overzicht van alle game gerelateerde nieuwtjes die week. In deze GK Daily praten de twee hosts je bij over de quote van Ubisoft baas Yves Guillemot, die je hierboven al in de kop ziet shinen. Volgens hem was het mislopen van de commerciële targets voor een groot deel de schuld van het minder hip zijn van de Star Wars-franchise. Heeft de Fransman daar een punt of zwamt hij uit zijn nekharen. Huey en JJ hebben elk hun eigen mening over het citaat.Donkey Kong Bananza scoort goed, maar minder dan Super Mario OddysseyEr wordt ook gekeken naar het succes van Donkey Kong Bananza. De game kwam afgelopen vrijdag uit en doet het beter dan het vorige deel waarin de aap een hoofdrol speelt. Super Mario Odyssey scoort echter een stuk beter. Hoe verklaren de twee dit verschil. Plus, zijn ze blij dat over een week de gameplay van Battlefield officieel gerevealed wordt. Leakers suggereren dit namelijk.
Het kwik houdt zich momenteel ergens prettig rond de twintig graden op. Niet te warm en natuurlijk ook niet te koud. Ideaal om met een prettig gemoed naar je werk te gaan. Iets wat wij dus ook doen. De drie presentatoren van dienst zijn dit keer Huey, Jelle en Shelly. Zij zijn helemaal klaar om een nieuwe aflevering van Brievenmaandag op te nemen. De rubriek waarin we, weer of geen weer, we de meest prangende van de community beantwoorden. In deze episode passeren onder andere vragen de revue over Donkey Kong Bananza, The Elder Scrolls Online, de perfecte game locatie om op vakantie naar toe te gaan. Voor het antwoord op deze en andere vragen kun je kijken en luisteren naar de aflevering van Brievenmaandag van maandag 21 juli 2025.Is Donkey Kong Bananza net zo leuk als Super Mario Odyssey?Een interessante vraag is wanneer het legit is voor publishers om een remaster van een remaster te gaan maken? Gebeurt dit überhaupt al vandaag de dag? Iemand anders vraagt of wij games ook soms als escapisme gebruiken of dat het echt een fun experience? En ervaren wij wel eens een ‘gameplay-gat?' Dat je overstapt van een bepaalde game uit een bepaald genre en dat je dan niet in lekker de volgende game kunt komen? De drie hosts buigen hun hoofd er over.Wanneer krijgen we te maken met remasters van remasters?Een brievenschrijver wil weten wanneer we een nieuwe editie van Table Toppers gaan houden. Hebben we al een datum in ons achterhoofd? En we bevinden ons momenteel in de zomer en die midden in vakantie tijd. Kennen wij een locatie uit een videogame waar wij graag op vakantie naartoe zouden gaan? Is het iets tropisch, ligt het aan zee of gaan de drie meer voor iets avontuurlijks? Je weet het als je deze video bekijkt.

Verder praten de twee over de uitspraak van Elon Musk dat AI binnen een jaar in staat is om een kwalitatief hoogwaardige game te maken. Geloven wij dat ook of lult hij uit de nekharen?

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #217, dé podcast waarin we weer volledig losgaan op alles wat het nerdhart sneller doet kloppen. Deze week duiken we diep in de nostalgie met klassiekers als Dino Riders, Boes, Dommel en een stevige dosis Turtles-throwbacks. Maar er is ook veel vers nieuws: James Gunn's Supermanbreekt records, DC probeerde ooit Kevin Feige te strikken, en we bespreken trailers, castingnieuws en bizarre plannen voor het DC-universum. Van The Daily Planet tot Top Gun 3 — alles komt voorbij. Zet je schrap en nerd mee met ons!Superman ReviewWe hebben ‘m eindelijk gezien: James Gunn's langverwachte Superman! In onze review duiken we in de nieuwe toon die Gunn neerzet voor de Man of Steel, de frisse dynamiek tussen Clark Kent en Lois Lane en hoe Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor het scherm kaapt. Is dit het begin van een nieuwe DCU die wél werkt? Of mist de film de grandeur die Superman verdient? Wij zetten alle plus- en minpunten voor je op een rij en bespreken of Gunn echt de juiste man is om DC te redden.DC probeerde Kevin Feige weg te kapen bij MarvelBizar maar waar: na de flop van Justice League zou Warner Bros. geprobeerd hebben Kevin Feige weg te lokken bij Marvel om het DCU te redden. Volgens een Wall Street Journal-rapport was er zelfs een meeting waarin Feige het idee van een overstap naar DC verkende. De gesprekken liepen uiteindelijk op niets uit, maar stel je voor: de architect van de MCU die ook Superman en Batman had geleid! Uiteindelijk kreeg James Gunn het roer in handen — en Feige? Die werkt rustig door aan de volgende Avengers-films én houdt stiekem de deur open voor een Marvel-DC crossover.Jasper's Saturday Morning CartoonsTijd om terug te reizen naar de zaterdag- en zondagochtenden van vroeger! We duiken samen in pure jeugd nostalgie met series als Dino Riders, Olivier B. Bommel, Boes de Koe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles en nog veel meer. Wat maakte deze tekenfilms en cartoons zo bijzonder? Welke intro's zitten voor altijd in ons hoofd gebrand? En welke obscure parels verdienen eigenlijk een comeback? Verwacht warme herinneringen, foute theme songs en een flinke dosis geeky jeugdsentiment!Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture 21700:00:11 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:01:16 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:01:30 TMNT00:03:51 Coming Out of Their Shells Tour00:10:22 Dino Riders00:15:46 Early Edition00:18:34 Star Trek: The Next Generation00:20:40 Star Trek: Voyager00:26:17 Dommel / Boes (en de Japanse dub)00:30:30 Thunderbolts00:33:52 The New Superman00:36:23 Huey vanaf The Daily Planet00:42:57 Superman Review00:52:55 Hot Spring Shark Attack Trailer00:54:47 James Carter Cathcart op 71-jarige leeftijd overleden00:56:19 Superman voorbij $200 miljoen dollar en scoort hoog00:58:57 Nathan Fillion over zijn Green Lantern01:00:04 James Gunn zei nee tegen Superman in 201801:02:18 David Corenswet hoopt ooit in Star Wars te kunnen spelen01:03:42 Hot Toys komt met awesome Superman figurine01:05:25 Anthony Starr reageert op Homelander bij Superman premiere01:06:06 De plannen van James Gunn voor het DC universum01:07:04 DC probeerde Kevin Feige te kapen bij Marvel01:08:12 Chief of War Trailer01:11:25 Een tipje van de sluier over Pirates of the Caribbean 601:12:59 Wie is de meest winstgevende acteur in Hollywood?01:16:39 Script voor Top Gun 3 heeft een GO gekregen01:21:01 Twisted Metal Season 2 Trailer

Dit keer is het de beurt van Huey om in gesprek te gaan met JJ. De twee hebben het over de nieuwe trailer van Mafia: The Old Country, de wens van Nintendo om games sneller te maken en het verschijnen van opnieuw een 'nieuwe' versie van The Last of Us 2. Deze onderwerpen en meer zie en hoor je in de GK Daily van woensdag 9 juli 2025.Hoe veel versies van The Last of Us 2 willen ze maken?GK Daily verschijnt elke doordeweekse dag.

Niet omdat werken zo zwaar is, maar vooral omdat de hitte ons wel redelijk parten speelden de afgelopen week. Gelukkig is het nu wat koeler en kunnen we normaal werken en genieten van het weer. Vanuit onze studio presenteren wij zoals elke week een verse aflevering van Einde van de Week Live. Om de overgang van werken naar rusten voor jou ietwat soepeler te laten verlopen. En het gaat er wel eentje worden ook. Want wat gebeurde er veel deze week en wat hadden we een aantal extra leuke onderdeeltjes klaar staan. In de studio zitten Huey, JJ & Koos klaar om hun licht te laten schijnen over de chaos bij Xbox en EA (Battlefield 6), de komst van Helldivers 2 naar Xbox en de plannen voor een nieuwe Ghost Recon game. Dit alles en veel, veel meer kun je zien en horen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 4 juli 2025.Chaos bij Xbox en de ontwikkeling van Battlefield 6Naast het rumoer rond Xbox en Battlefield 6 bespreken de drie ook leukere onderwerpen zoals de verkeerde relaunch van MindsEye, Donkey Kong Bananza, de drie games waar Insomniac aan werkt en de goede sales van Capcom, die echter niet voor de PS5 geldt. Tot slot is daar de première van het eerste deel van een vierdelige serie over Elder Scrolls Online die we zelf hebben gemaakt. Wij wilden wel eens zien of ESO een goede substituut is voor een dure zomervakantie. Info over ESO kun je hier vinden.Profiteer van fijne kortingen op bijvoorbeeld de MSI Katana A15 en maak kans op 250 cadeaukaart bij de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer' actieDe ‘E3'-periode is een speciale tijd.

Ter ere van deze film brengt GXTrust een nieuw, officieel gelicenceerde DC Superman gaming chair uit (plus enkele ander producten). We hebben het over de Ruya Pro, een stoel met ingebouwde lendensteun, optimale hoogteverstelling, 4D-armleuningen en een kantelvergrendelingsmechanisme. Met of zonder Superman design te verkrijgen.

Met een goed en slecht nieuws. Zo weten we nu al bijna zeker dat Donkey Kong Bananza een hoog cijfer gaat halen in de media, misschien wel een 9.7. Waarop we dat oordeel baseren, dat vertellen de twee je in deze video. Aan de andere kant vlogen er helaas veel mensen uit bij Xbox en loopt de ontwikkeling van Battlefield 6 allerminst soepel.

Happy Transformation Tuesday, y'all! It's admittedly been way too long. I took a summer pause to take my son to camp and decompress for awhile with the hopes that this time would inform future creativity. I have also been busy serving clients. On that note, if you would like a complimentary 20 minute consult to discuss any health improvement goals and see if we're a fit for working together, I'm here to listen. Simply connect with me at FavorFat@gmail.com.In this episode #68, we begin with a question from listener, Mary Ellen, who asked me about supplements. This is a topic on which I've evolved due to some personal experiences from experiencing “silent migraines” and learning about some mineral deficiencies. I answer Mary Ellen's good questions with some general advice about selecting supplements and share my own journey over the last couple of years regarding magnesium deficiency and finding Dolovent. If you have a question about supplements or anything else, be in touch!Then I move on to something that should NOT be controversial but is for some, especially the media funded heavily by Big Pharma and Big Food. Know that I aim to share my health-focused perspective and do not at ALL get political here. The Nourishment Mindset is apolitical; I can't think of a much worse way to get our cortisol levels up. Each time I do yoga, meditate, pray or engage in any form of self-care I'm actively trying to lower my stress hormones, which is why I generally avoid poly-tics as it has the opposite effect.The MAHA Report was authored by HHS and posted on the White House website. It focuses on identifying the root cause factors for the shocking levels of disease in our youth and how to Make America(‘s Children) Health Again. It's not perfect and frankly, there was almost nothing there that I didn't already know, but the point is that it's out there and it made national news. Although it should've been covered MUCH more extensively.We do not have a “health”care spending issue. We do have a massive problem with corporate capture and government entanglement, non-nutritive foods comprising the majority of our diets, being surrounded by endocrine disrupters, poor lifestyles and more. I dive into my take on each of these root causes then provide my answers to the necessary question of “what should my family do?” Tune in and then let me know your thoughts in the comments or directly.FINE READ-This is a heavy one! I'm nearing the half-way point of Dr. Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. This dude gets an A++ for straight talk! Pretty intense but also quite readable. I'm a large fan of personal responsibility which seems to have fallen out of favor in our culture but it doesn't mean its ineffective. It is reminding me of one of the reasons I left a job I loved with a leading metabolic healthcare company: I wanted to be much more direct with my patients. Being in private practice affords me the ability to do just this and I'm aware that I'm not a fit for some people and that's okay!FINE RECIPE- Spicy Tuna Melt CupsThis is a protein and nutrient packed household favorite developed by my husband, Patrick. YUM!1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin.2. In large mixing bowl combine 5 oz tuna, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayo (watch out for seed oils!), 1/4 cup chopped onions, 1.5 cups shredded cheese, 2T minced herbs of your choosing and salt and pepper to taste. We also like to add a generous shake of Pluck seasoning!3. Fill the muffin tins with the mixture and top with a jalepeno or other pepper if you like.4.Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and enjoy. They make a great snack or lunch when you add a salad topped with extra virgin olive oil and a side of fermented goodness such as kimchi or sauerkraut.FINE FIND-I'm loving this life hack taught to me by the wonderful Dr. Elizabeth Moran of Premier Gynecology in Charlotte, NC. She's not only my doctor but a lifelong friend and SO knowledgeable about women's health.I love a good sized squirt of lemon and lime juice in my morning “mocktail” of sparkling water (love my Soda Stream) with a pinch of salt. I buy organic limes and lemons but often can't get through them before they turn. When visiting Elizabeth, I noticed she had them stored in dispensers in her fridge. She juices them after purchase and therefore has no issue with spoilage in her fridge. I bought these glass dispensers on Amazon to avoid plastic contamination et voilà! (If you're wondering what's to the right of them, that's super nutrient dense fermented cod liver oil we take by the shot chez Huey.)That's a wrap, friends. Many thanks for your support, questions and more. If you haven't purchased my book, The Nourishment Mindset, please consider doin so on Amazon or my website for a signed copy.

Klaar staat voor jou een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze dagelijkse podcast & video nemen twee presentatoren de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van videogames door en geven er hun ongezouten mening over. Dat alles in pak-hem-beet 20 minuten tijd. Vandaag is Huey afgereisd naar de studio. Samen met JJ praten ze over andere de onrust in de Mario Kart scene over een update van Nintendo, PlayStation gaat voorlopig nog geen games day one op PS Plus zetten en hoe staat het met de ontwikkeling van Wolverine. Daar zijn namelijk verschillende en sterk tegengestelde geluiden over te horen. Deze onderwerpen en meer krijg je te zien en te horen in de GK Daily van donderdag 26 juni 2025.PlayStation wil nog geen eigen games day one op PS Plus zettenGK Daily is er op alle werkdagen, op de vrijdag na natuurlijk. Dan presenteren we altijd EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over al het nieuws van de afgelopen week. In deze editie praten Huey en JJ over een aantal onderwerpen. PlayStation melde op woensdag dat het goed gaat met PS Plus. Steeds meer gamers stappen over naar de duurste tier. En die tier, PS Plus Premium, gaat meer content krijgen. Daar zitten alleen day one first party releases bij. Dat is voor PlayStation een brug te ver.Hoe gaat het met Wolverine?Een ander onderwerp behelst de status van Wolverine. Want hoe staat het nu precies met de game van Insomniac? Een aantal medewerkers die weg zijn bij de studio schijnen te zeggen dat de game zich in een zogenaamde 'development hell' bevindt. PlayStation ontkent dat. De game ligt volgens hen gewoon op schema. Waar denken de twee hosts dat de waarheid ligt? En hoe komt Xbox uit een nieuwe ontslagronde? De antwoorden op al deze vragen krijg je te zien en horen in deze video.

In aflevering 214 van Nerd Culture duiken we vol in het nerdnieuws. We bespreken F1 the Movie met Brad Pitt, de nieuwe Life of Chuck-verfilming, en het Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball Daima. Verder blikken we terug op Twin Peaks, checken we Kengan Ashura en duiken we in de wereld van Warhammer 40K. Kortom: een bomvolle aflevering met voor ieder wat wils.F1 the Movie ReviewIn deze aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we in F1, de nieuwste spectaculaire actiefilm van Apple Original Films en de makers van Top Gun: Maverick. Brad Pitt speelt de hoofdrol als Sonny Hayes, een gevallen Formule 1-legende die na jaren afwezigheid wordt verleid tot een comeback. Met regie van Joseph Kosinski en productie van onder andere Lewis Hamilton en Jerry Bruckheimer, belooft dit een visueel racefestijn te worden.We bespreken de film uitgebreid: hoe realistisch zijn de racebeelden, werkt de chemie tussen Pitt en Damson Idris, en wat voegt F1 toe aan het sportfilmgenre? Huey heeft hem gezien, Koos gaat aanstaande dinsdag naar de premiere. Marvel gaat verder met Spider-Man '94Spider-Man: The Animated Series krijgt eindelijk een vervolg! Na 27 jaar pakt Marvel Comics de draad weer op met Spider-Man ‘94, een nieuwe vierdelige comic die vertelt hoe Peter Parker en Mary Jane herenigd worden na hun multiverse-reis met Madame Web. Geschreven door J.M. DeMatteis (ook bekend van de originele serie) en met artwork van Jim Towe, brengt deze comic twee iconische schurken die nooit eerder in de animatieserie verschenen. Spider-Man ‘94 verschijnt op 3 september en is een must voor fans van de klassieke ‘90s-serie én het Spider-Verse.James Gunn voelt geen druk omtrent Superman releaseJames Gunn laat zich niet gek maken door de torenhoge verwachtingen rond Superman. In een interview met Rolling Stone maakt hij duidelijk dat hij geen miljardensucces nastreeft, maar een sterke, oprechte film wil maken die past binnen het grotere DCU-verhaal. Hij vergelijkt het met Iron Man, dat ook niet begon als megahit, maar wel een solide start was. Gunn wil gewoon zijn “stukje van de puzzel” goed doen — en dat is verfrissend in een tijd waarin elke film als redder van een franchise wordt gezien. Superman verschijnt op 11 juli 2025.Will Smith heeft een aantal grote missers op z'n naam staanWill Smith onthult dat hij ooit de hoofdrol in Inception afwees — simpelweg omdat hij het script niet begreep. In een interview vertelt hij openhartig dat Christopher Nolan het project eerst aan hem pitchte, maar dat het concept van alternatieve realiteiten hem destijds niet lag. De rol ging uiteindelijk naar Leonardo DiCaprio, en Inception werd een gigantisch succes met $839 miljoen aan opbrengst en acht Oscar-nominaties. Smith voegt deze blunder toe aan een pijnlijk rijtje afwijzingen, waaronder The Matrix en Django Unchained. Soms is zelfs een Hollywoodster blind voor een meesterwerk in wording.Timestamps00:00:00 Intro00:00:51 F1 the Movie Review 00:18:03 Life of Chuck00:24:40Twin Peaks00:27:09 Friends00:30:13 Kengan Ashura00:37:14 Dragon Ball Daima00:42:08 Secret Level: Warhammer 40K00:46:23 Naked Gun Trailer00:49:12 Brad Pitt's training voor F1 the Movie00:51:05 Blumhouse heeft de rechtern voor SAW definitief binnen00:52:17 Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift00:54:34 Will Smith's track record aan gemiste kansen is impressive01:00:02 I Know What You Did Last Summer Trailer01:02:56 Originele Blade schrijver over de problemen omtrent de reboot01:05:21 Spider-Man ‘94 gaat verder in comic book vorm01:06:59 Fantastic Four krijgt een sequel en Secret Wars is een two-parter01:08:28 Disney+ heeft de Marvel Cinematic Universe de nek omgedraaid01:11:19 James Gunn: Superman gaat niet de end-all be all worden01:14:30 ‘Hele beroemde acteur' schrijft DC Elseworlds script01:16:20 Squid Game Season 3 Trailer

Misschien zelfs iets te warm in sommige regio's. Hoe fijn is het dan om iets op je oren te hebben als je straks op het strand of bij de plassen ligt. Vanuit een erg warme studio presenteren wij een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Drie hosts, te weten Huey, Koos en Shelly gaan de discussie aan over een groot aantal onderwerpen. Bijvoorbeeld de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct van afgelopen woensdag. Wat vonden ze daarvan? Wat vinden ze van de enthousiaste previews van Borderlands 4? Dit alles en meer komt voorbij in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 20 juni 2025.Wat vonden we van de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct?Er gebeurde deze week veel. Activision wist bijvoorbeeld niet hoe snel ze moesten melden dat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 geen wall running en jetpacks zou hebben. Waarom was dat zo'n issue? Kojima meldde dat de eerste playtest zo positief uitpakte voor het verhaal, dat hij de boel meteen herschreef. Waarom? En die nieuwe God of War Metroidvania game wordt uitgesteld. Is dit een game die we in de gaten gaan houden of zitten we niet te wachten op Kratos in een Metroidvania? En zit Kratos er wel in?Profiteer van fijne kortingen op bijvoorbeeld de Vector 16 HX en maak kans op 250 cadeaukaart bij de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer' actieDe ‘E3'-periode is een speciale tijd.

We hebben een weekend achter de rug die gemaakt was om te gamen. Hetzij op je net aangeschafte Switch 2, hetzij met de shadow drop van Lies of P Overture, hetzij om die enorme back-catalogue eindelijk wat kleiner te maken. De komende weken gaan de temperaturen omhoog. En die stijging zetten we vandaag in met een nieuwe, warme editie van Brievenmaandag. Op Tweede Pinksterdag. Voorgezeten door het illustere trio Huey, Jasper en JJ. Waar gaan de drie vragen over beantwoorden? In ieder geval over de Switch 2. Logisch een paar dagen na de launch van de console van Nintendo. Verder zijn er vragen over de afgelopen ‘E3' dagen. De antwoorden ga je zien en horen in de Brievenmaandag van maandag 9 juni 2025.Dillema: moet iemand nu een Switch 2 of een Steam Deck kopen?Iemand uit de community vraagt zich af of, nu de Switch 2 is uitgekomen, de Amiibo rage weer opgang gaat doen? En hebben wij Gamekings zelf Amiibo's? Een andere kijker wil graag een handheld kopen. Hij twijfelt echter tussen een Switch 2, een Steam Deck of misschien toch maar een mooie monitor voor zijn PC? Kunnen we hem van een goed advies voorzien? Eentje waardoor hij eindelijk rust in de bovenkamer krijgt? Wat het advies gaat zijn, weten we vooraf natuurlijk niet, wel dat de drie heren hun best gaan doen om met een oplossing te komen.Waarom steeds dezelfde locaties in oorlogs-games?Een interessante vraag is er een over de locatie van oorlogs-games. Dat betreft vaak de WO II of het Midden-Oosten en Vietnam. Maar waarom nooit een andere oorlog, zoals die in Joegoslavië of Tsjetsjenië? Lenen die zich niet goed voor videogames of liggen die oorlogen (nog) te gevoelig? Met een historicus aan tafel moet er toch een zinnig antwoord mogelijk zijn.
Remember This Crap's tour around the diamond has reached shortstop. Huey is back to help talk about the greatest (and Larry Bowa) Cubs shortstops in history. As always, the guys go all the way back to the 19th century and work their way up to the modern day. The Cubs, of course, have one of the greatest shortstops in baseball history to their credit, and they have another Hall of Famer who owes most of it a poem. The Cubs have had some really good shortstops and long stretches of bad. Recent years have been pretty good. Let's dive and remember some shortstop crap.

We hebben een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily voor je klaar staan. In deze dagelijkse podcast & video nemen twee presentatoren de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van videogames door en geven er hun ongezouten mening over. Normaal doen ze dat in 20 minuten tijd, maar vandaag is er een extra lange editie aangezien JJ en Huey de PlayStation State of Play bespreken. Daar viel zoveel over te vertellen dat twintig minuten niet genoeg waren. En dan was daar ook nog de launch van de Switch 2 én de controverse rondom de The Witcher 4 tech-demo. Daarom serveren wij jullie op donderdag 5 juni 2025 een dubbel dikke aflevering van de GK Daily.PlayStation State of Play geeft ons gemengde gevoelensGK Daily is er op alle werkdagen, op de vrijdag na. Dan presenteren we namelijk EvdWL, de uitgebreide podcast over alle ontwikkelingen van de afgelopen week. In deze editie praten Huey en JJ vooral over de PlayStation State of Play die woensdagavond om 23:00 gepresenteerd werd. Ruim 45 minuten lang konden we kijken naar een hele reeks van games die in 2025 en 2026 naar de PS5 (en deels de Xbox) komen. Welke titels sprongen er volgens de twee presentatoren uit? PlayStation trapte met deze show de 'E3'-periode af. Hebben ze de lat direct hoog gelegd, was het vooral middelmaat en vulling of viel het aanbod tegen? Zoals je kunt verwachten, krijg je van ons een eerlijk antwoord.De 'ophef' over de The Witcher 4 tech-demoOp dinsdag was het tijd voor het State of Unreal event. Een event waarmee Epic liet zien waar ze met hun Unreal 5 engine staan. Om de voortgang te tonen had men een tech-demo gemaakt in de wereld van The Witcher 4. Een bizar mooie video met beelden die je deed verlangen naar de launch van het spel. Direct na het event was er echter onrust op social media omdat sommige gamers vonden dat CD Projekt Red de boel voor de gek hield. Want ze lieten een The Witcher 4 zien die je straks niet krijgt. Hadden ze niet geleerd van het voortraject van Cyberpunk 2077? Hebben de criticasters gelijk? Of zeuren ze net even iets te veel?Check het concert van Nine Inch Nails op 29 mei in de Ziggo DomeOp 29 mei aanstaande kun je in de Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam het concert van de brute en door Jelle, Steven en JJ gewaardeerde band Nine Inch Nails bijwonen. De muziek van de groep van frontman Trent Reznor, zal veel gamers bekend in de oren klinken, want het zit in vele games. Van de Call of Duty en Batman franchise tot Doom en Dead Island, de beukende sound van deze band heerst er. Check hun tracks hier maar eens: https://youtube.com/@nin?si=vvnnrjV_ZgLnamta .

In April of 1975, Communists succeeded in overwhelming their enemies to take over Vietnam. The last major city to fall was Saigon. That event is one of those historic times many remember who lived through it as well as those of us who only experienced it through Television and newspapers. Our guest today, Miki Nguyen, was six and a half years old when he and his family escaped from Saigon on a Chinook Helicopter piloted by his father. Miki willingly tells us his story and that of his family who all escaped and came to America. Miki tells us of his growing up in a new land and how he eventually was given the opportunity to bring his father's story to life. Miki's dad wanted to write a book about what happened in 1975 as well as describing his life. He passed ten years ago and was unable to publish his book. Last year, Miki found his father's writings and undertook to bring his father's story to life. The book is entitled “The Last Flight Out”. As Miki tells us the story of his family's flight from Saigon he also provides pictorial representations of what happened. If you watch this episode on YouTube you will get to see those pictures. Personally, I can relate to Miki's story as in so many ways it parallels my own experiences on September 11, 2001. I hope you like and learn much from this week's episode. Let me know your thoughts please. About the Guest: Miki Nguyen is a storyteller dedicated to preserving the legacy of his father, Lieutenant Colonel Ba Van Nguyen, a heroic figure whose daring escape from Saigon during the Fall of Vietnam in 1975 was immortalized in the 2015 Oscar-nominated documentary Last Days in Vietnam. As the son of a South Vietnamese Air Force officer, Miki's life has been shaped by his family's extraordinary journey from the chaos of war to rebuilding their lives in America. Today, he shares stories of courage, sacrifice, and resilience in his late father's memoir "The Last Flight Out" to commemorate 50 years since the Fall of Saigon. Born into a world of upheaval, Miki witnessed firsthand the harrowing final days of the Vietnam War as a child, fleeing Saigon with his family in a dramatic helicopter evacuation to the USS Kirk. His father's bravery under fire and unwavering commitment to saving loved ones left an indelible mark on Miki, inspiring him to compile and share his father's stories decades later. Through The Last Flight Out, Miki bridges the past and present, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the sacrifices of war, the challenges of resettlement, and the quiet strength of his mother, Nho Nguyen, who anchored the family through unimaginable adversity. As a speaker, Miki captivates audiences with a narrative that transcends history, weaving universal themes of resilience, cultural identity, and leadership into his talks. Whether addressing corporate teams, educational institutions, on Podcasts, or cultural organizations, he draws parallels between his family's journey and modern-day challenges, emphasizing the power of hope and community in overcoming obstacles. His presentations, enriched with archival photos and personal anecdotes, resonate deeply with veterans, immigrants, and anyone seeking inspiration to navigate life's uncertainties. Miki is committed to amplifying his father's legacy and honoring the courageous individuals who shaped his family's journey—from Captain Paul Jacobs and the USS Kirk crew, whose heroism ensured their evacuation during Saigon's fall, to the Lutheran church members in Seattle who provided sanctuary and support as they rebuilt their lives in America. Through the memoir, speaking engagements, and other partnerships, Miki invites audiences to reflect on these unsung stories of courage and resilience while embracing a future defined by empathy and unity.

Wherever you happen to be, I am your host, Mike Hingson, and you are listening to Unstoppable Mindset, mindset where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet, and as we've defined unexpected here on the podcast, it's anything that has to do with anything other than inclusion and diversity. A few weeks ago, I got an email from a friend of mine and someone I work with at yesterday usa.net it's a radio station that plays old radio shows all day, and anyway, Walden Hughes, who we really need to get on this podcast as well. Told me about Miki when, because Miki expressed, or Walden has expressed an interest in having Miki on yesterday USA, and Miki had an interesting story, and has an interesting story to tell, and I thought that it would be fun to bring him on to unstoppable mindset, because his father and family were basically, if you will, as you will hear on the last flight out of Saigon in Vietnam when that war ended in 1975 so that's 50 years ago. Anyway, Miki generously agreed to come on. And so here we are. So Miki, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. We're glad you're here. Really appreciate it and looking forward to having a chance to chat. Miki Ngyuen ** 02:47 Yeah, thank you, Michael, just really honored and appreciate the opportunity to be on your platform and to share with you in your audience, my father and my family story. The this is a story that has been told around the dinner table for many, many years. And as we are here now in early 2025 this marks, this will mark at the end of April here, coming up the 50 year remembrance, as you noted, the the fall of Saigon and so yeah, again, just really happy to be here. Well, Michael Hingson ** 03:27 let's start as I love to do, and I know it kind of is part of the story, but tell us a little about kind of the early Miki growing up and and things that you might want to talk about from childhood and so on. Miki Ngyuen ** 03:38 Yeah, I we in at the end of April, 1975 I was six and a half years old, and so, to answer your question, I grew up on a military base, basically my dad towards the end there, Lieutenant Colonel was a pilot for the south of Vietnamese Air Force, and he flew various Chinooks. The the one that we're referencing here is the the Chinook helicopter, CH 47 and so this is young childhood for me, growing up on the barracks, the oldest of three, three kids, brother Mecca and baby sister Mina. And this was a childhood where very curious about things the world around me, on the barracks, there were a lot of heavy artillery. And one story, my mom would sure it's a kid dragging home a box of of ammunition, just to say, you know, Hey, Mom, look what I found laying around. So this was a. In early childhood, growing up during a a war torn country back in those days, Michael Hingson ** 05:07 yeah, certainly couldn't have been easy to do. So, what schooling did you have while you were still in Vietnam? Miki Ngyuen ** 05:14 Oh, this is six, six and a half, just kind regarding kindergarten. Yeah, pretty, pretty much. So the Vietnamese that I was able to learn, you know, was just talking with parents, mom and dad, early kindergarten schooling. But otherwise, my Vietnamese now as an adult is not as strong as I would like it to be, but you know the reality of coming to America at six and a half seven. Grew up post war all American high school, so yeah, Michael Hingson ** 05:53 now were your parents from Vietnam originally? Yes, yes. Okay, so it it had to be tough for you, and it had to really be tough for them, and I'm sure that they were worried about you and your brother and sister a lot and and dealing with all the things that you all had to deal with, that had to really be a challenge. Did they as as you were growing up in America and so on. Did they talk about, or want to talk much about, what your what your life was like, your heritage and so on, from Vietnam? Miki Ngyuen ** 06:31 No, absolutely. It was my my father, my mom's philosophy, to always continue to keep our culture and our heritage and the things that you know was good about our culture, the Vietnamese culture, and to continue it forward while living, trying to assimilate and live here in in the United States. So growing up, it was straddling of both cultures, both Western and the Vietnamese Eastern culture as well, during our upbringing. And so it continues to be strong today, where for my own kids, you know, we continue to celebrate and our Vietnamese heritage and culture. Although American Vietnamese, I hold a US passport. My blood still runs with a lot of the Vietnamese culture that was raised on. It's Michael Hingson ** 07:32 an interesting paradox, or paradox is probably the wrong word to use, but you have an interesting dichotomy you have to deal with. You're from Vietnam, you embrace the Vietnamese culture, but you live in America, and unfortunately, in our society today, we have a government that has been pushing so much on anything that isn't really American, isn't really American. And how do you how do you deal with that? What do you think about that, that whole concept, and that, ultimately, there are those who would say, well, you're you're not American because you didn't come from here, and that's a frustrating thing. But I'd be curious to get your thought, well, it's Miki Ngyuen ** 08:17 to say it's a it's the same conversation as you know, the Ellis Island story, right? The only, the only folks that I would say that can claim that they're here with Native Americans, everybody else migrated either east or west, from Europe or from Asia or from the Middle East or Africa to get here. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 08:36 Yeah, it is. And from, from my thoughts and perspective, it's, it's a joy that you, you have two cultures to be able to celebrate and and work with, which gives you a broader perspective on the world as a whole. I grew up in America. I didn't really do a great job of learning foreign languages, although I took High School German and I learned some Spanish, and I actually took a year of Japanese in college. But still, my whole grounding is is in America, but I do love to go to other countries and see and get to experience other cultures, even though I know I don't live there, but I, and I do come back here, but I, but I think that what you bring is a great perspective for people to understand a whole part of the world that's different than what they're used To, which is a good thing. Miki Ngyuen ** 09:41 Well, that's why they, they call America the great melting pot, right? We bring, we want to, we want to bring our best. We, you know, there can be conversations around refugees and immigration stories here and there, but. I think for the most part, you know, diverse cultures, different folks coming from other parts of the you know, we contributed to America, whether it be through bringing, you know, food or arts or ideologies, and that's what makes America, you know, strong, is just people bringing their best here. And sure, there's going to be negatives here and there. But you know, if we're come from a place of goodness, a place of positivity and working with each other. I think the spirit of America and the spirit of the great melting pot here can can continue to flourish and be strong from that standpoint. And Michael Hingson ** 10:52 I and I think it absolutely is exactly what you said. It's the melting pot, it's the spirit, and that's what we need to remember, because that is what has always made this country so great, and will continue to, no matter what some may say. And I'm glad that we we have the the depth of overall culture, which really is made up of so many other cultures. When you got to America, what was it like then going to school here and finishing your growing up period here? Miki Ngyuen ** 11:30 It was a, I don't want to use the word struggle. My parents struggled more. But for myself coming to the US here it was quickly to assimilate, you know, that's the word that just simply out of survival, simply out of just making friends and keeping the friends that, you know, I had growing up in first grade and second grade and so on. And growing up in the mid 70s here looking different than the rest of the white kids, you know, in elementary school, I got called all sorts of racial names, and so I know on your, you know, with your your message of disability, and Miki Ngyuen ** 12:25 functioning in, you know, I had my own struggles as well in terms of just being different, you know, then, then the next kid in elementary school. So, but we learned to adapt, we learned to maneuver, and we learned to communicate and develop social skills to blend in, and again, that word assimilate, just to survive. So Michael Hingson ** 12:51 where did you Where did you all settle once you got to the US? Where did you go to school? Oh, Miki Ngyuen ** 12:58 so we're located here on the outskirts of Seattle, suburbs of Seattle area, yeah, Michael Hingson ** 13:06 I remember when so many people were coming over and from Vietnam, and they had some refugee encampments for A while. I was contacted by a church group, because at a local area near where I was attending college at the University of California at Irvine, there was such a place, and there was a blind person there, and they wanted to get this person, that was a young man, to meet blind people. So I went out. We even brought him a transistor radio. He didn't speak great English, but we were able to communicate. And that was probably the closest I came to dealing with, in a sense, all the things that all of you dealt with. So I but I do understand we as a collective society, sometimes don't really deal with difference as well as we ought to we we don't recognize that the very fact that we have some things that are difference is what makes us stronger when we embrace the fact that everyone has their own set of gifts and challenge and challenges to deal with, right? Exactly, Miki Ngyuen ** 14:22 yeah, exactly. The just to provide more context, yeah, the there was a church across the crest, Lutheran Church here in Bellevue, out about 30 minutes from Seattle, that sponsored our family and yeah, that's how that's how we we ended up here in the story of my father and my my family was no the only thing different, because during the. April, end of April timeframe in 1975 the communists finally took over, as many of your audience know, you know, Saigon and the rest of Vietnam, and we had to, we had to get the heck out of there, because if my dad would have gotten captured by the communists, he would have been set in jail for a long time. And so our, our or worse, yes, exactly or worse, our, our family story is no different than anybody else's refugee boat people story coming out of Vietnam. The only difference was what my dad did as a pilot, what he did to to rescue our family and his crew's family and the maneuver that he executed at sea with a large Chinook helicopter, so much that it was was honored 10 years ago to share the same story with in an Oscar nominated film last year in Vietnam, written and produced by Rory Kennedy, and so there are so many, there's so many other Vietnamese refugee stories, but this one was, was our particular family story, and it's the story of my father's bravery, courage, our family's resiliency, among other various leadership kinds of themes. So that's, that's the premise of things. Michael Hingson ** 16:27 Yeah, I understand. Well, what, what did you say you went to college? Where'd you go Miki Ngyuen ** 16:35 to? Studied engineering at the University of Washington here in the Seattle area, Michael Hingson ** 16:42 didn't, didn't try to help the basketball team, huh? Just, just checking, no, it's 16:50 too short for basketball, yeah, yeah. Michael Hingson ** 16:52 Well, you know. And of course, in in the March, April, time frame of every year, we have March Madness, which is really crazy. I was disappointed to see Gonzaga get out of it so quickly. But oh well, of course, most people don't even know where Gonzaga is. I actually had the the lovely opportunity to speak there once, so it was kind of fun. So I've been there so anyway, well, so you went off and studied in engineering, and that's what you did after college. Miki Ngyuen ** 17:23 No, I after college, I was an engineer for a couple years, and then pivoted over into the marketing side of things and focused in in technology. I mean, from your background, you also, you know, did sales, especially with your story 20 plus years ago, worked in technology sales, and your involvement with a tech company today accessible. So yeah, that's, that's, yeah, that's my. My background is tech marketing, Michael Hingson ** 17:55 well, and I started out doing tech stuff, helping to work in the development of the original reading machine for the blind that Ray Kurzweil developed, but that ended up going into sales for a variety of reasons. So I appreciate where you're coming from and and feel a lot for the kinds of experiences that you've had. Well, why don't you tell us a little bit about what happened with your father, and the whole, the whole story of the escape, the last flight out, flying out with the Chinook and all that that happened. Oh Miki Ngyuen ** 18:32 yes, so let's, let's get into let me go ahead and share the some pictures here. And I, as I told you, for you know, pictures worth 1000 words and but I'll narrate it in such a way that all audiences can can get into the the whole story. So this was, this was a moment again. This is a family story that was shared around the dinner table for many, many years post 1975 and I'm sharing the story through the lens of a six and a half year old boy experiencing what I saw and what I what I went through, and the picture that we're showing here on the First slide here is just images of my father, Bob van win, who, in the early, early 60s, got an opportunity after college to test and train to and finally got admitted into the the Air Force. And in the mid 60s, got an opportunity to come to Fort Rucker and study and fly helicopters, and came to America again in 69 to for additional training. And so my father grew up, family, grandmother, education was of utmost important. Importance, as well as family and community. And so towards the towards and the next slide I'm showing here is towards April 29 1975 we see iconic images in time, Life magazine, in the media here in the US, images of the Communists the North tanks rolling into Saigon and overtaking the city. And in the film, the documentary, again last season Vietnam, we see images. We see video clips of folks trying to get into the US Embassy to get access to a helicopter to get out of there, because folks, people that were serving working with American or the American personnel, anybody that was involved in the south fighting against communism would, have, you know, been in jail or put into, you know, a tough situation post war, if they gotten captured. And so we see a mass chaos, mass exodus trying to get out of of the city there. And so it was my my dad's knew that had he stayed and not figured things out, he would have been either killed or put in jail for a long time, and so he, at this point, waited out for orders from his commanding officers and his leadership at all of the top brass took off with their family trying to figure out how to get out themselves. And my dad, with the Chinook, went and picked up our family in at this moment in time of mom, myself, brother and sister, we were at my grandma's house. Uh, we've been there for about a couple weeks to get out of the the military base that we were on, and at Grandma's house. I remember the night before, my dad coming to get us a bombing and machine guns rattling around the neighborhood and around the city there. So it was pretty tense for our family at that time, my dad with the helicopter, Chinook helicopter in I'm sure you and your in the audience, you driving down the road or over, flying over your house, you hear a Chinook. Is very thunderous of and so it's a big equipment, big, big aircraft. And what he did was land at the Chinook in front of my grandma's house play a play field, and blew, you know, a lot of the roofs and commotion, and folks around the neighborhood were just surprised. You know of this helicopter landing in the middle of the middle, middle of sea. Michael Hingson ** 23:22 Did you know that he was coming? Yes, Miki Ngyuen ** 23:25 my dad had told my mom the days earlier that I'll be coming to get you. We'll figure this out, because at this moment in time, there's probably no way that we're going to survive the the Communists were coming and get ready. Get, you know, pack the bags, get get things ready and but we didn't know that he would come in in such a way. We figured maybe he would come in a vehicle, the military vehicle, to come in and get us. But he actually came with a with the with the Chinook, and landed right in front of the right in front of the house. Michael Hingson ** 23:58 How many people was the Chinook hold. Well, at this time, in front Miki Ngyuen ** 24:02 of my grandson, just our immediate family and but it would hold a lot of folks, a lot of folks. And towards the towards later on, we'll get to that point. But towards it we had like about 1715, 1617, people, crew member, their their girlfriends and family in in the in the helicopter. Yeah, that was what I was wondering, Michael Hingson ** 24:28 because you said it was big. So I was just trying to get a perspective on what big really meant. And that's why I asked how many people it would hold. Oh, Miki Ngyuen ** 24:36 yeah, understood, yeah. So the Chinook is probably, it is probably the largest helicopter in the, you know, the fleet of helicopters Arsenal so but he landed hatch opens up on the back, and the Chinook as a is a double, double, uh. Uh, a rotor, double prop helicopter. And family ran to the back of the the helicopter. They closed the hatch up, and my my father, accelerated, you know, the the engines and lifted up and out of, out of the area there. And the thinking was to rendezvous up with a few other of his squadron crew members and to head further south of the hot zone, Saigon, and to load up on the food and ration and gas so that we would continue further south and maybe perhaps lay low, find an island to just figure out what to do next, from that standpoint, and that's that's where We actually did was, along with our family, he had co pilot, and he had his gunner and the mechanic in their, you know, their their family members or girlfriends in the in the Chinook, once we loaded up On, on all of the, the food and everything fuel lifted up and out. And at the same time, he heard my father continued to monitor the the the radio communication. And he heard that there were US Navy, US ships out in the Pacific, now out east in the Pacific. And so he figured, we'll take a risk and head in in that direction, towards the the ocean there, and he didn't know exactly, you know, the exact GPS location, or the exact whereabouts of it, particularly, just headed out there blind and trying to find whatever option he could find. And out in the distant there, he sees a ship. And he goes, Well, this is my first chance. I'm going to go approach it and see if I'm able to land on it or figure out what to do next from there. And so heads in that direction. And we see, he sees a a uh, what we know now today is the frigate, and it wasn't, it was too small. It wasn't big enough to, you know, it wasn't like a an aircraft carrier, where you can actually land on it. And so the the next slide that I'm showing here, basically, as he approaches this, this ship, the crewman below, the US Navy crewman below was waving him like, you know, waving him away. Don't, don't, don't come here. You're simply you're too big. There's no way that you can land on on this ship. And so he kept circling the ship eventually found out the name of the ship was named the USS Kirk, and the captain was Captain Paul Jacobs. And my father continued to circle and figure out some way to, you know, ask for help. And we see in the one of the images here, that on the port side, the left side of the of the Chinook, my my mom holding up eight month old baby onto the the window part to let the crew in below know that, hey, we're not, you know, we're, we're we got kids, we got family on here. We need, we need help. And so eventually, what my dad was able to speak with the captain below, and both the captain and my father were able to coordinate the next step here, and which was to allow my father to hover right next to right behind the ship the stern to allow folks to to exit the helicopter. But prior to that, the slide that I'm showing here shows many other Vietnamese pilots and their families with smaller, smaller helicopters, the Huey helicopters landing, able to land on on the deck. And after they land, they would push the smaller helicopters over to into the ocean. And the continuing to do that as more families came on on, you know, was able to land. Uh, the next slide I'm showing here is the actual Captain Paul Jacobs throughout, throughout this whole narrative, my father is, is, is the person that my father's my hero. But there are other heroes throughout this whole story as well, and one of those I want to acknowledge is Captain Paul Jacobs, where we see in this image here, he was on the deck. He he wasn't in the command tower, directing, telling his, you know, crew, what to do. He was actually on the deck helping with his crew members, pushing and telling folks, as well as himself, jumping in and pushing smaller helicopters over the the side, making room for to clear, clear the the ship's deck. And so he's an outstanding individual, a hero in my book as well. And so once the deck was clear enough so that my dad was able to hover, what he did was basically fly the Chinook horizontal backwards to maintain the same steady high height, as well as a safe distance away from from the USS Kirk. And we found out later on that the this particular ship of frigate was a submarine destroyer. So it had all of the high tech equipment back, sonars, radars, all of the antenna and so it's very my father's had to be very careful in terms of how close he could have gotten, how close he could get to keeping the the distance as well as allowing folks to to jump down. And that's that's what we did. He kept it steady. And he was hovering about 1315, feet above the deck, and tells the co pilot to open up the starboard door and so that we would have access to jump. The picture that I'm showing you here is an illustration by Adam colts showing myself my mom, family members crews jumping from this Chinook down onto many of the crew members below, catching us as we as we exited. We also have an illustration from that I clipped out from the New York Times doing an illustration of my mom dropping a baby sister onto the crew, the crewmen below, and many years later, many years later on, at a reunion with the crew member and the captain of the USS Kirk, one of the men below, Kent Chipman, introduced himself to us as one of the sailors below catching us. It was like you described as, like catching a a basketball coming out of the the helicopter. And so once everybody exited out, he my father told the co pilot to make sure that everybody safely gotten out, make sure that everybody had cleared the the rear of the helicopter, and then he finally told the the co pilot to go ahead and and jump himself now onto the deck. And so I remember, it's the last thing I remember as a six and a half year old boy who was being ushered inside, inside the the ship. They didn't want any kids running around on the deck. Yeah. And the last thing that we see, you know, is seeing my father hovering away from the ship. Now is just him by himself at this point in this large helicopter. Miki Ngyuen ** 34:04 So it wasn't, it wasn't until, it wasn't until maybe, like half hour later that we we see my father again. But from from, from the point where he had to hover. After everybody jumped off the helicopter. He hovered away from the the ship. And at this point there was, you know, the only option here was to get a remove himself from from the helicopter. He wasn't going to go back to land or go back to the city. His family was on the ship now, and he need to be with his family. And so what he did was take the Chinook about 100 yards away from the ship, and hovered above the water, and at that point, kept the helicopter steady, and while at the same time taking off his. Miki Ngyuen ** 45:00 Did the heavy lifting 100% they in so many ways, in terms of when we talk about a challenge or an obstacle, they had my mom had to learn a completely new, different language, had to start all over again, not knowing exactly what their future was going to be, but at the same time, you know the freedom, the freedom in America and what America represented was just an opportunity that they knew that even though it was a struggle as a challenge to re readapt, to assimilate, learn a new language, find a new career, it was still a lot better than the other option, yeah. And then to answer your question, as for me, as a six, six and a half year old boy, or six, yeah, seven year old boy, you're right. It was, it was more of an adventure than it was anything in terms of fear, because, again, as I said, my mom and dad took the burden of all of that paved the way for myself, brother and sister, but throughout my life, up to that point, it was just an adventure to jump off from the helicopter was, to me, like jumping, you know, playing around a tree, jumping off a tree. But for my mom, who had to take the courage to drop a baby, her baby from from an airplane, and the fear of change, the anxiety of of in the struggle of war and everything else at a different at a different level that my hat's off to both my parents from that time. Michael Hingson ** 46:57 I'm sure that, in a sense, while things were happening, your mom didn't analyze it. And think about the time of war, she did what she had to do, and your father did what they had to do. And then after the fact, they obviously thought back about it and and probably had times of going, Wow, what? What did we do? And not in a regretful way, but at the time something is happening, you do what you have to do, and then you think about it later. And I guess for you, when did all of this really become real and a story? Well, not a story worth telling, but when did it really emotionally all sink into you, what really happened? Because that had to happen, obviously, later than that night Miki Ngyuen ** 47:48 it it became super, super real for me. 2009 window discovered, again from mister Jan Herman, finding my father's story and sharing with us the pictures from the US Navy. Yeah, because, because, up to that point, from 1975 up to 2009 this was a story that I grew up throughout my life and experienced a bit of it jumping, but the the things that my father shared in terms of doing the ditch maneuver and growing up as a boy, listening to him talk with his buddies around the dinner table. Or when they would have reunions, they would my, you know, I would be, you know, seen and not heard, type of a family situation, just, you know, listening into my father's conversation with his his buddies, hearing, hearing about it, and then finally, seeing pictures from the US Navy in 2009 that was when it really, really kicked in. Because as a kid growing up, I would share these stories. Friends would ask me, how'd you come you know, where are you from, and how did you get here? And I would share, you know, how we got to America and escape from escape from Vietnam. But it didn't really hit until 2009 once we actually saw the images that my dad was, he was, he did what he said, and we got pictures to prove it. So, yeah, yeah. And I want to touch upon the thing they mentioned a few minutes ago, in terms of my mom and dad and I know that you're, you're an Eagle Scout. I I never went that far in terms of Scott. I went to second class, so outstanding for you, going all the way as an ego scout. But the one thing that I learned from Scott is that word always be prepared. Always, always be prepared. I teach my kids that as well. And so in terms of my my mom and dad, they you can be prepared, you know, for the worst case scenario. And that's what actually happened in the end. The South Vietnam lost to commun to the communists, and at that. Point, and I'm going to weave in the story that you've shared as well in your on your platform, in terms of that day 911 where you had to, you had to do what you had to do with with your dog and and with everybody else trying to figure out how to get out of that, try to exit that building for safety and things like that. And so it was one of those things where you just had to, you can only prepare so much. And in the moment of crisis, or in that moment of of things crumbling literally around you, whether it be your country or a building crumbling around you, you have to figure out you have to, you know, cleverness, communication, working with others around you, teamwork, all of that had to come into play for survival. And so both, I mean, you know, both of our, my, your story, my my family, my father and my mother's story, myself as just a kid tagging along was, was that trying to figure out some way to exit yourself from a moment of dire, a moment of chaos, and so I can, I can under, I can resonate, I can, I can appreciate that Michael Hingson ** 51:15 well. And the thing is that the thing you have to mostly prepare for is, is your mind, and prepare is your mind. It's and it's how you prepare to deal with things that may happen you you can't, as I tell people, there's no way to train someone to deal, as such, with a falling building, or, as you say, losing a country, but you can prepare your mind to be able to say, I can do this, and I don't need to allow the fear of what's going on to stop me. I can use that as a powerful tool to help that preparation is the most important thing we can do for anything that happens in our lives, and that's what we really have to focus on. Because I've been asked many times questions like, well, you know, how do you teach your dog how to escape from a tough, falling building or a tall building like you did in the World Trade Center? Yeah, that's not what you that's not what you teach the dog to deal with. You teach the dog to focus. You teach yourself to focus, and you teach both of you where you are, the leader, you teach yourself how to deal with whatever situation comes along and worry only about the things that you have control over, because the rest isn't going to going to help you to worry about because you don't have control over it. Miki Ngyuen ** 52:48 Right, right, right. Yeah, go ahead. No, I just letting that sink in. I yeah, there's ever a time to be very present, very calm, very cool and collected. Because once, once you start, once you start, you know lack of a better term, freaking out or losing it mentally, things could fall apart even, even worse. And so staying calm under pressure is critical, Michael Hingson ** 53:21 which doesn't mean that you're not afraid, but you use the fear in a different way than you would if you allowed yourself to, if you will freak out, which is really the whole point. Well, so you you clearly have written this book. Why did you write it? No, I expect to help. What do you expect to help? To get from it Miki Ngyuen ** 53:42 Sure. I again, I did not write this book. It was my father. Why Michael Hingson ** 53:46 did you? Why did you decide to bring it forward? Oh, Miki Ngyuen ** 53:52 number one, to honor, to honor my father's wishes. Number one, it, and number two, along with that, is to pass down to his great grandkids, and you know, their their kids, his story, our family story of how we came to America. This was the for the Vietnamese community. This was our Ellis Island story. And number one, to archive and to honor my my my father. Number two, the third one really is, this is a story that it doesn't matter what background, what obstacle, what struggle you are in. These are stories of courage, compassion, heroism, stories of suspense, love stories that my dad wrote as well. And there's stories of lessons learned about communism, stories of betrayal. And so it's a story that is a. Uh, relatable to all audience types, but outside of that, for myself and my my mom and for my family, this is our family story, and one that my kids, my great grandkids, what how they knew my father in his courage, in his resiliency, in terms of just coming to a new world and having to start over again. Michael Hingson ** 55:27 What do you want people to take away from the story Miki Ngyuen ** 55:32 history? Number one, in terms of the history of because there's a you know, if you don't, if you don't learn from history, you're going to make the same sort of mistakes again. And so, from history, what can we learn out of it, the lessons that we can learn out of it, the lessons of just how to overcome obstacles, dealing with, as you said, with fear, courage, lessons around being curious about the things around you, learning Education and as well as the lasting years, just lessons around teamwork and working with others, working with your community. So those are the kinds of things that we want to get across in this book. Michael Hingson ** 56:36 What kind of lessons do you think your your father's memoir and yours, because you compiled it. What lessons do you think we all should take away from that, that we should use today? What, what should we be learning from this story? Miki Ngyuen ** 56:56 Uh, lessons in terms of, uh, leadership, lessons in terms of how to handle yourself in crisis situation, lessons around working with others to overcome a particular obstacle or a challenge working, you know, with teammates. Wait may it be in a corporate environment, or maybe in a community or a setting, or many of those themes that in terms of just everyday life lessons and resiliency, yeah, yeah, many of those themes and lessons that I think is told through my father's experience and our family's experience, from that standpoint, Michael Hingson ** 58:08 a question that comes to mind, really off the wall, is so it's now been 50 years. What is Vietnam like today? Do you know a Miki Ngyuen ** 58:16 lot better than it was 50 years ago? I I've visited, not only visited, but lived there in 2016 2017 and life today a lot more prosperous than than in years past. And he continues to to be prosperous. And, you know Michael Hingson ** 58:43 better from that standpoint, is it a communist country? It's still, Miki Ngyuen ** 58:47 it's still a communist country today, one of the things that I did learn from the book and my dad was sharing is that in this ties in with the the the the Berlin Wall in the unraveling of communism the Soviet government back then, When the leadership in Vietnam saw that they loosened up many of their their their policies around that. So it is still communism today, but prosperous in a lot of ways, economically, and, you know, trading with with other countries. So, yeah, that's, that's, you know, that's how life is today in Vietnam, yeah, Michael Hingson ** 59:49 what final words and suggestions do you want to make? We've been doing this now for almost an hour, and it's, it's been as compelling as I think you thought it would. Be, and I imagined it would be, what kind of final remarks or thoughts do you want to leave for people to think about Miki Ngyuen ** 1:00:09 that, whatever situation, whatever obstacles that you're going through at this moment, that there's always there's always choices and options, and the the the things that we talked about, you and I, Michael here, is just staying cool, staying level headed, staying calm through through challenges, and looking, you know, looking to work with others, looking for help, searching for help, and where you can help others as well. If it wasn't for Captain Paul Jacobs, compassion and humanity, our family wouldn't be here telling the story. And so these are the things that have helped us and our family in return. Look back over your shoulder to see if somebody else behind you would need help as well and offer that. So that's yeah, that's the some of the things that I want to at least share. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:23 There's there's a lot to be said for paying it forward as well as gratitude, and I think that you've exhibited all of that very well. And Miki, I want to thank you again for being here. This has been absolutely wonderful and enthralling, and I hope that everyone has enjoyed it. And I appreciate you being able to be here and tell the story, because it has to be still a challenge, even 50 years later, because you lived through it, but but you've learned how to live through it. And I think that's the issue. It's like with the World Trade Center, you learn how to deal with with it, and we both have learned to tell our stories, and I think that's so important. So I want to thank you for being here, and I want to thank all of you for listening today. This has been wonderful. I hope you agree. Love to hear your thoughts.
