• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: It was cool to see what the future could possibly be.

• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Great show.

  SPEAKER_00: We're back on the Disney train again.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Number three.
• 17:00

• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I hear the theme and I'm like, watch the show, I'm like, this is all from from from a candy, from a juice?

  SPEAKER_00: They would drink the gummy bear juice and they would whoop some tail.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: I love 80s cartoons.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care what you say.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: 80s, 90s cartoons were the best, man.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: The intros alone got you hooked to the show.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, man.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so now we are down to my top two.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: Now my top two is hard.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: It can flip.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: On one day, two could be one, one could be two.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's really, this was probably the hardest decision I had to make when it came to this podcast.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Number two.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite anime of all time.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: I really don't need to say anything.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: It is Rock the Dragon on Dragon Ball Z.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Man.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: I woke up 6 30 in the morning, I saw this.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: I knew I was hooked.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: It was over.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: Turn it up.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: Brain melted.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: All that going on in what was a minute?
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: A minute?
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Half a minute and a half, maybe?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: All this action going on, hyper fighting.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Who's this?
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Why is this hair all spiky?
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Who's the green guy?
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Who's the guy in the armor?
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: Who's the bigger guy?
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: The bald head guy.
• 20:48
  unknown: Oh man.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: To this day.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: I love Dragon Ball.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: To this day.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: The only reason why this is I think the only reason why this is a isn't number one is because they switched it so many times.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: They did hedgehala.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they had this other one that sounds like saved by the bell.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Bad intros.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: They should have just kept this and rocked this for the longest time because it's a banger.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: It is a banger.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: With that being said, we are at number one.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: Number one played in every episode when it was time for them to form this giant robot.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: These five lines came together to form one of my favorite cartoons.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: One of my favorite intros.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: Ladies and gentlemen, we're talking about Voltron.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: When the Robeast was going crazy, the five they try it, they try to fight us separately with the five lines.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'll see what we can do.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't work.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: When that music came on, the road beast don't mess up.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: Because he's sitting there letting them form Voltron with the awesome music in the background.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then that's it.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: The Robe Beast was done.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: Form the Blazing Sword, cut him in half, and that's it.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: That is a rap.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: And we've had I think three remakes of Voltron.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Not counting that car one.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: No one, no, no one counts the car Voltron.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's the Lion Voltron.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: And that's that.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: That is it.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: And that is my number one theme of all time.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: Again, if you are, if you are, if you got me upset at you, and I'm just angry at you, you play that, you you probably gonna get a pass.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: You probably gonna get a pass.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: With that being said, that is the end of the show.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: That is my top ten.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: We're not gonna do the outro today.
