  Who's got the squeaky chair now? You can hear
• 0:03
  that? Yeah. Dude, I have a fucking, you know,
• 0:07
  one of the cool things about this new house is
• 0:09
  that my neighbor is nonexistent. It's just an
• 0:10
  empty plot of land. Oh, nice. Fucking grass was
• 0:14
  huge, and I'm pretty sure there's fucking chupacabras
• 0:16
  in there. But it was nice because I got the other
• 0:20
  neighbors on the other side just fucking allergic
• 0:22
  to staying at home when they are away pretty
• 0:25
  much every day, every single day. And then the
• 0:29
  other side is an empty plot of land. So it was
• 0:31
  just like so peaceful, dude. It's like I got
• 0:34
  the place to hold myself. I can just masturbate
• 0:36
  as loud as I want. Yeah. But last week they started
• 0:41
  construction. They're going to build a house.
• 0:43
  To build a new spot right next to you. Yeah,
• 0:46
  dude. And now I'm like waking up in my boxers
• 0:48
  and I go to my living room. All the construction
• 0:51
  guys are watching you masturbate. Yeah, two fucking
• 0:55
  dudes going like, yeah, boy. And sometimes I'm
• 1:03
  having meetings in my job and people are just
• 1:06
  like, you know, going at it. Next door. You know,
• 1:09
  construction -wise, not having sex. I was like,
• 1:11
  what the fuck are they building up over there?
• 1:14
  Dude, they're like some perverted assholes building
• 1:17
  up. You want to pour some concrete? No, let's
• 1:21
  just... Fucking idiot. Yeah. They actually fucked
• 1:25
  while they were building it. That's how fucking.
• 1:27
  Yeah. They're, I mean, progressive dudes anyway.
• 1:32
  And, uh, Oh, apparently the guys in, uh, the
• 1:36
  guys in the meetings I have, uh, I'm asking them,
• 1:38
  do you hear any noise? So I'm sorry. And they're
• 1:41
  like, no, no, but you can hear the fucking chair
• 1:44
  squeaking. Yeah. I'll have, you know, I bought
• 1:47
  this shit. It's brand new. It's got like. a month
• 1:50
  or maybe two months well it was an expensive
• 1:53
  it's hard to get a good chair man it was an expensive
• 1:56
  buy it was a cheaper one but it just i don't
• 1:59
  understand why people would design a chair that
• 2:01
  forces you to fucking hunch it was awful yeah
• 2:05
  anyway um this chair squeaks a little bit but
• 2:09
  only if i lean back no so yeah so you're gonna
• 2:13
  have to learn how to play take over on the chair
• 2:15
  solos now so yeah anime metalscape's back And
• 2:19
  we're talking anime. No better authority on it
• 2:26
  than us. I mean, why not, right? Yeah, why not?
• 2:33
  I get to talk to my good friend Ron again. It's
• 2:34
  been so long. We're both old. Life has beaten
• 2:38
  us down, but we're still here. I've got a joint
• 2:43
  in my finger locked up. I'm looking at getting
• 2:45
  surgery for. My back hurts. Really? yeah man
• 2:49
  bro you was fucked up you're looking to get surgery
• 2:53
  fuck it's a simple like tendon thing or something
• 2:58
  but but yeah i've got trigger finger on my right
• 3:00
  middle finger i can't bend it is that is that
• 3:03
  from uh your two tours on afghanistan or what
• 3:06
  um i think i i think i i played bass for too
• 3:12
  long one day and then fucking holy shit dude
• 3:16
  And then fucked up my tendon and then never like
• 3:18
  splinted it or did anything to like heal it.
• 3:20
  So now there's just a massive like cartilage
• 3:23
  or something around my tendon and it's getting
• 3:25
  stuck in the sheath. That's what the doctor called
• 3:29
  it. So it's like a sheath in a tube. Sounds an
• 3:32
  awful lot like a penis. And then he put his finger
• 3:33
  through his circle and his other fingers like
• 3:36
  he was fucking something. Is your doctor gay?
• 3:40
  I don't think so. I mean, anyway, yeah. So when
• 3:46
  did you start noticing these changes in your
• 3:51
  body? It creeps up on you, man, you know. Yeah,
• 3:55
  like all of a sudden you sound like a gentleman.
• 3:59
  Sir, I'm inclined to call you sir. Sir, thank
• 4:03
  you for letting me be on your podcast, sir. My
• 4:07
  village will be proud. I haven't talked to no
• 4:13
  mic in so long. Really? Maybe I'm putting on
• 4:16
  a little something. I don't know. No, you're
• 4:20
  based. I sound cool, right? Your baseline is
• 4:23
  very, very different. Maybe it's from all the
• 4:26
  smoking. Or you don't smoke. I don't know. I
• 4:28
  quit. I don't smoke anymore. I haven't really
• 4:30
  smoked. I smoked for quite some time. I vaped
• 4:34
  for a long time, but now I don't even do that.
• 4:36
  Oh, my God. Well, I got back into the habit of
• 4:41
  trying to quit again. Fucking fucks you up. Yeah.
• 4:47
  It's no good. No bueno. It's no bueno, man. Everyone
• 4:51
  thought too long ago. I bought a pack. Oh, I'm
• 4:54
  sorry. After my mom died. Huh? Camels. No, the
• 4:58
  American spirits. Oh yeah. Sorry. You're all
• 5:01
  about the American spirits. Um, sorry about hanging
• 5:05
  out with like my two. Oh yeah. Thank you. Yeah.
• 5:09
  Thank you. Um, But yeah, I was hanging out like
• 5:11
  with family a lot and some of them, a couple
• 5:13
  of them smoked. So I was like, you know what?
• 5:15
  That sounds kind of good. And then I smoked the
• 5:17
  whole pack, but like half a cigarette at a time
• 5:20
  because I'd get through half of it. And then
• 5:21
  I'd be all of a sudden be like, this is fucking,
• 5:22
  it tastes nasty. Yeah, true. And the thing for
• 5:28
  me is that it doesn't, it starts feeling or tasting
• 5:31
  nasty after like the 15th cigarette. And then
• 5:35
  you're like. And then next morning, that's where
• 5:38
  I really get fucked up because, you know, I feel
• 5:41
  it in my lungs. They're like, you know, they
• 5:44
  took a hit. Oh, wow. And it's like I'm groggy
• 5:47
  and I don't have the same energy. It just fucks
• 5:50
  me up. What'd they put in the Nicaraguan cigarettes?
• 5:52
  Fucking no idea, dude. It's nasty shit. So this
• 5:58
  is an anime podcast because unbeknownst. Or rather.
• 6:04
  Beknownst. But no, I don't know. When we did
• 6:07
  Metal Skip, did you watch anime? No. You didn't?
• 6:12
  I did not. No. I never got into it as a kid.
• 6:15
  Like, it would be on. I didn't have any full
• 6:18
  -on, like, weeb friends. But, you know, after
• 6:21
  school and stuff, like, fucking Dragon Ball would
• 6:24
  be on. And I could never get into it. I tried
• 6:26
  to get into it a couple times. I'm like, it seems
• 6:28
  cool. Yeah. We will find out why in a later episode.
• 6:34
  Your tastes are somewhat particular, but it's
• 6:40
  cool. I mean, that's the beauty of anime. Something
• 6:43
  for everyone. Exactly. It's so crazy how, you
• 6:47
  know, whether there's stories I'm interested
• 6:49
  or not, just the thing, the stories that are
• 6:52
  there, it's like no one would ever fucking make
• 6:53
  a, spend money to produce something like this.
• 6:56
  Yeah. I was, I was watching. Anywhere else but
• 6:58
  Japan. I was watching a fucking anime about gambling,
• 7:01
  you know? Have you seen that? I don't remember
• 7:03
  the name. It's about this girl that she's fucking
• 7:05
  so good at gambling. And she enrolls, of course,
• 7:08
  in a fucking high school. That is because, you
• 7:11
  know, high schools in anime, they are run, they're
• 7:14
  institutions with impunity to kill, kidnap, topple
• 7:19
  government, whatever the fuck you want. And they
• 7:21
  are run, but it's still in council. Yeah. Also,
• 7:26
  I talked to, apparently that's not, I mean, it's.
• 7:31
  Sort of off base, but not really. The school
• 7:34
  really does have a lot of control over there
• 7:37
  on kids outside of school. When they're bad and
• 7:40
  stuff, it looks bad on the school. I hate to
• 7:42
  interrupt you, but I gotta go. I ordered some
• 7:45
  dinner. Let me just go get it. Be right back.
• 7:48
  Okay. Talk amongst yourselves. What is that?
• 7:53
  You hear that ring ring? Let's guess what Ron
• 7:58
  got for dinner. It's fucking, you know, chilling
• 8:01
  in my boxers. On El Uber Eats. I was about to
• 8:07
  guess what you got for dinner, and then I was
• 8:09
  wondering how you ordered it, and I said, El
• 8:11
  Uber Eats. Uber. Is Uber owned by the German
• 8:17
  multinational that pretty much owns all food
• 8:20
  delivery shit now? I don't know. You don't know?
• 8:23
  I don't even know about this multinational. Oh,
• 8:25
  my God, dude. It's like, do you ever see? no
• 8:30
  maybe not because i saw i was watching a netflix
• 8:33
  show the other day you know like a month ago
• 8:35
  it was about this girl who owns a basketball
• 8:38
  team and there was a she you know all the characters
• 8:42
  in that fucking show got delivery and they were
• 8:45
  like very prominent you know like a huge fucking
• 8:47
  uh brown box with the logo on it with the door
• 8:52
  dash door dash that door dash yeah yeah so door
• 8:56
  dash is owned by the uh with this German multinational.
• 8:59
  They do all of Europe and a whole bunch of fucking
• 9:02
  countries. It was a fucking slaughterhouse in
• 9:05
  Nicaragua a couple of days, a couple of years
• 9:07
  ago because all these companies started popping
• 9:09
  up and then they all got bought out by this company
• 9:12
  in El Salvador. And then the Germans came and
• 9:15
  they were like nine and they just fucking bought
• 9:18
  everyone. Wow. And so we got the same logo, but
• 9:22
  it's got a different name. Dutch. El Dordasho.
• 9:30
  Dordasho, yeah. No, it's called pedidos ya. What's
• 9:36
  pedidos? That's a word. Request. I request now.
• 9:42
  Because you request, you ask or request your
• 9:45
  food and it's now. Okay. That's pretty good.
• 9:49
  Yeah, and over here we have Dordasho's big, Uber
• 9:52
  Eats is big. Those are probably the two bigger
• 9:55
  ones. Those are the ones, like, even if you order,
• 9:58
  some restaurants are like, oh, we do our, just
• 10:00
  order through our website and we'll deliver.
• 10:02
  And on the back end, it's really just going to
• 10:04
  fucking DoorDash. Asshole. Same price as in the
• 10:09
  restaurant. No, dude, it's like a hundred bucks.
• 10:11
  Oh, hell no. What are you talking about? What
• 10:14
  are you talking about? Got myself a chicken wrap.
• 10:21
  Man, God, these are the saddest rides I've seen
• 10:24
  in my life. Oh, chicken wrapping fries with a
• 10:28
  little McDonald's action or what? I don't know.
• 10:30
  It was called some local restaurant here in Tijuana,
• 10:34
  which is a municipality that I live. Oh, yeah.
• 10:41
  Do they have ghost kitchens down there? What
• 10:43
  are those? It's when like it's listed on there
• 10:47
  is like over here at a lot. It'll be like the
• 10:50
  fucking. nacho shack or something and all they'll
• 10:53
  have is different types of nachos you know like
• 10:54
  i've never seen this fucking nacho shack anywhere
• 10:56
  ever and it turns out it's some dude in his kitchen
• 10:59
  who just gave gave uh uh doordash a p .o box
• 11:04
  and he cooks all this food out of his kitchen
• 11:07
  and they send it out sounds fucking like a nightmare
• 11:10
  so this one single guy is cooking all fucking
• 11:13
  but it's not always just one guy it's not always
• 11:17
  it just it's different you know but but yeah
• 11:19
  there are restaurants that don't actually exist
• 11:21
  like they don't have a physical place they just
• 11:23
  they just don't have tables yeah and sometimes
• 11:26
  it's out of someone's house although i think
• 11:27
  they've cracked down on that a lot yeah don't
• 11:30
  you aren't you supposed to have some sort of
• 11:31
  like license you're supposed to okay um um and
• 11:39
  then a lot of the restaurants like i know ihop
• 11:42
  which is a over here it's like a chain of Like,
• 11:44
  diners are known for, like, their breakfast foods.
• 11:47
  The International House of Pancakes. I know why
• 11:48
  I know this. Okay. I don't know. I mean, I didn't
• 11:55

• 12:46
  a bunch of feelings in it. Yeah. Monologues.
• 12:50

• 13:00
  home. I'm trying to feel something. Oh, my God.
• 13:05

• 13:18
  dude, send it over. Did you get on our private
• 13:23
  server? Yeah, but I think the access. I'm sorry.
• 13:29
  I logged in after like a month and a half. You
• 13:33
  shared the link, and I think the credentials
• 13:34
  don't work anymore. Oh, you know what? I can't
• 13:38
  remember if I shared it to you. I did it at Switch
• 13:39
  Hosts at some point. I might have shared it before.
• 13:41
  There you go. Before that. I'll have to redo
• 13:44
  it. What was the first anime you watched? Because
• 13:46
  you're waiting on like, you're trying to watch
• 13:48
  like something on the new season of Freerun or
• 13:51
  something, but I had it all on there. You do
• 13:53
  have it? Because fucking Netflix is not going
• 13:55
  to accommodate me. And I'm not paying for Crunchyroll.
• 13:58
  I mean, I like anime. If it's out on Crunchyroll,
• 14:02
  then yes, I have it. Because, yeah. I mean, I
• 14:06
  like anime. I watch anime while we were doing
• 14:10
  Medalscape. A huge fan. Yeah, I don't remember.
• 14:15
  We never talked about it. I figured I would have
• 14:17
  made fun of you more for it back then. I mean,
• 14:20
  I wasn't a huge fan. I mean, I probably watched
• 14:23
  a couple, you know, like probably the most popular
• 14:26
  ones. And besides, if you wanted to watch anime
• 14:32
  back then, back in my day, you either had to
• 14:35
  like live in Japan or, you know, watch whatever
• 14:40
  the fuck was on TV at the time. Which was in
• 14:43
  my day, you know, as a kid coming back from school.
• 14:47
  What did I watch? Dragon Ball, of course. Eva,
• 14:55
  Neon Genesis Evangelion. And I think Sailor Moon
• 15:02
  was available, but did not watch it. So you were
• 15:05
  watching Evangelion when you were like... Eight.
• 15:12
  Yeah. I didn't, couldn't figure it out. Still
• 15:15
  can't figure out what the fuck is going on there.
• 15:19
  Um, yeah. When, when usually when, whenever I
• 15:23
  used to get drunk around, fuck my ex wife's friends
• 15:27
  or like younger, they were like, Oh yeah, this
• 15:30
  movie, this good movie is coming out. I'm like,
• 15:33
  when you say whenever I used to get drunk around
• 15:35
  my ex wife's friends, it sounds like they weren't
• 15:36
  drinking. You were just next to them getting
• 15:38
  drunk. No, I mean, we were at social gatherings
• 15:41
  and stuff. Yeah, yeah. On trips. You were drinking
• 15:44
  with your exes. I was drinking with them, you
• 15:47
  know, not like around them. And they go like,
• 15:52
  their younger guy is like, right? And they're
• 15:56
  like, oh, yeah, this new movie is coming out.
• 15:59
  And the plot is like this and this and this.
• 16:01
  I'm like, you know, that's a straight ripoff
• 16:05
  of Evangelion because these guys invented sci
• 16:07
  -fi, dude. Back in 91, dude. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 16:13
  I've come to appreciate it more as I get older
• 16:16
  and lonelier and sadder. Mm -hmm. Well, that's
• 16:20
  a good thing about anime. Good anime fucking
• 16:22
  stays with you and is relevant for your lifetime.
• 16:28
  Yeah. I also saw Ranman Half. Oh, I've been meaning
• 16:34
  to watch that, actually. But I watched it when
• 16:36
  I was a kid. The dude who turns into a girl when
• 16:39
  he gets wet or something like that? Yeah. Hot
• 16:43
  water or cold water or something like that. And,
• 16:46
  you know, he gets into all kinds of shenanigans.
• 16:49
  It's silly. You don't expect a huge fucking story
• 16:53
  arc or deep characters. No, I like the silly
• 16:56
  shit. I like the boring slice of life stuff.
• 17:02
  It's like comfort food for me. i mean i read
• 17:06
  manga and everything um that was one that i didn't
• 17:11
  mind so so when i was younger i was dragon ball
• 17:14
  and stuff i got a little older like on cartoon
• 17:16
  network they would do they would do um yasha
• 17:21
  and fucking yeah yeah and then mtv used to have
• 17:26
  like aeon flux on there um and all that i need
• 17:30
  to go back and watch it all i was like kid i'd
• 17:32
  see it i was like something seems special about
• 17:34
  this like it looks kind of cool but i don't know
• 17:36
  what's going on it was just a little above my
• 17:38
  head um but the one i did like to watch sometimes
• 17:42
  was detective conan i don't remember that one
• 17:45
  it's a it's a it's like a kid a kid of genius
• 17:51
  um detective and it was just every episode was
• 17:53
  just him solving a crime it's like fucking watching
• 17:56
  murder she wrote it smart anime is fucking good
• 18:01
  You know, like freaking Death Note. Yeah, I've
• 18:05
  been hearing about this Death Note. Sounds cool.
• 18:07
  It's pretty cool. It's a classic, dude. It's
• 18:09
  very smart anime. What does that mean, smart?
• 18:13
  I mean smart whenever... Fuck, I'm sorry. I'm
• 18:17
  on battery and fucking monitors just keep turning
• 18:20
  off. I gotta fucking plug the power cord. My
• 18:24
  hands are all greasy. Anyway, smart, whenever
• 18:28
  I say smart anime is... When the writing combines
• 18:31
  whatever the plot is, you know, it's got going
• 18:36
  on at the moment. When the writing has plot?
• 18:40
  Exactly. Leave me alone, man. When there's writing,
• 18:46
  shit happens. Shit happens. It's smart. I'm like,
• 18:52
  oh, words. No, no. What I mean to say is when
• 18:56
  there's a... When they inject like some sort
• 19:00
  of, you know, science concepts or philosophy
• 19:04
  or historical stuff or just, you know, cool concepts
• 19:10
  and they make it work for the character or for
• 19:13
  the story in a way that is comes kind of like
• 19:16
  sometimes crucial to the whole thing. So it kind
• 19:20
  of grounds you, kind of makes you feel like you're
• 19:23
  watching something that. That you can relate
• 19:26
  to. On a. Or something that will leave you thinking.
• 19:30
  After you watch it. But oh yeah. It was really
• 19:33
  cool when they did that. Because of this. And
• 19:34
  this. And this. And of course they had to do
• 19:36
  that. Because you know. That character makes
• 19:38
  sense. You would do that. That's cool. Or when
• 19:43
  they get really into it. You know. Like that
• 19:44
  gambling. Anime. It sounds silly. You know. High
• 19:48
  school. It was run by a fucking. By the gambling
• 19:51
  club. So then they. They go to like the super.
• 19:54
  The. high school for all the best gamblers were
• 19:56
  all the best gamblers exactly and they and there's
• 19:59
  like a game there's a rival gambling high school
• 20:01
  i i don't know i didn't get that far probably
• 20:03
  season two but uh but it's like uh they're not
• 20:08
  you know playing cards they're playing like really
• 20:10
  weird fucking games but it's like a different
• 20:13
  game in each episode and it's got all these made
• 20:15
  up rules and there's like really smart ways that
• 20:17
  this girl's defeating the cheaters and all that
• 20:20
  Really cool. Okay. I could probably get into
• 20:22
  that, actually. I do want to. I'll get the name
• 20:24
  of that one. Or you could tell us all. I don't
• 20:27
  remember the name, but Karakuguri, Karaguri,
• 20:30
  something like that. And they go kind of like,
• 20:32
  I think she's getting. And the English, por favor.
• 20:36
  Dude, we got to learn some Japanese. I can't.
• 20:40
  Karakuguri. Yes. Good morning. Excuse me. But
• 20:45
  she gets turned on. Itadakimasu. She gets turned
• 20:48
  on. But, you know, whenever there's like, all
• 20:51
  right, here's the game, bitch. You get it wrong
• 20:53
  and I will stab you in the ass. And she's like,
• 20:57
  oh, my God. The risk is so high. Oh, no, not
• 21:01
  my ass. It turns me on. So, no, it's not that,
• 21:04
  you know, graphical. It's like she's going to
• 21:07
  get killed or something and she fucking just
• 21:09
  gets off on the risk. She's like, oh, my God,
• 21:11
  this is so exciting. Okay. I could like that.
• 21:16
  Okay, so. what was i gonna say because i do like
• 21:19
  when it's like some of that what was the first
• 21:21
  anime i guess it's almost like a weird form of
• 21:23
  sport anime sports anime or something i watched
• 21:27
  that soccer anime when i was young never seen
• 21:30
  that i want to be that guy you know dudes were
• 21:32
  like flying up in the air and just you know fucking
• 21:36
  duking it out like 30 minutes up in the air it
• 21:38
  wouldn't come down or just you know shoot a football
• 21:41
  or a soccer ball you guys call it From across
• 21:46
  the field and the fucking ball. Oh, yeah. Pierce
• 21:49
  the net and destroy, make a hole in the fucking
• 21:51
  stadium and some shit. Pretty cool. I also watched
• 21:55
  that, the one with, ended in this giant fucking
• 21:59
  robot cutting his enemies in a cross shape, you
• 22:03
  know. They would blow up. I don't know. I don't
• 22:07
  remember what the hell was that, but what I'm
• 22:11
  trying to say is. I didn't actually, I don't
• 22:12
  know if I got into anime. It was just what was
• 22:16
  on TV for me. Oh, I like that. And as a kid,
• 22:19
  it's not, it doesn't really take much for you
• 22:22
  to get into anime. If you're a kid, you know,
• 22:23
  you got flashy colors, fucking cool action, cool
• 22:27
  characters. And somewhat, and the plot you can
• 22:31
  follow. That's not, you know, like what the fuck
• 22:33
  else are you going to watch? Looney Tunes. I
• 22:35
  mean, there were Looney Tunes, but it was just,
• 22:37
  you can only get so much of the fucking. Even
• 22:42
  as a kid, like, Dragon Ball, like, I would notice,
• 22:45
  though. I'd be like, wait a minute. I've been
• 22:47
  watching this shit for 15 minutes. And, like,
• 22:49
  they haven't done anything. They've just been,
• 22:51
  like, arguing with each other. Talking about
• 22:54
  how bad he's going to kick his ass. Did you just
• 22:58
  start it with Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball? I
• 23:02
  think it was Z. I don't know. It was just on
• 23:05
  sometimes. Well, you've got to watch Dragon Ball.
• 23:08
  You'll get into it because that's like the start
• 23:10
  and it starts out. I think, I think you'd like
• 23:14
  it because it's very, very cute, very tender,
• 23:17
  very good characters. Stories is nice. Maybe
• 23:21
  I'll check it out. Dragon Ball. Does anyone fall
• 23:24
  in love? No. It's fighting anime. Only love is
• 23:29
  for the thrill of battle. I mean, there's some
• 23:33
  cheeky, funny stuff, but what would you say?
• 23:36
  What was the first anime that, like, clicked
• 23:39
  for you that went like, oh, yeah, I want more
• 23:41
  of this? I could tell you right now. Oh. The
• 23:45
  exact second one. And I didn't even, I read the
• 23:49
  manga first. So you got into manga before anime?
• 23:52
  Yeah, just barely. Okay. I had some comic app
• 23:57
  or whatever, and I started reading something
• 24:00
  that popped up. It was like, oh, this is popular.
• 24:02
  And it was a manga called Toradora. and then
• 24:06
  i reached to the end of whatever volume and the
• 24:08
  story didn't finish and i'm like oh is it still
• 24:10
  going and then i learned that there was a already
• 24:13
  an anime like way before the manga ever came
• 24:15
  out and it was based on a like a what do they
• 24:17
  call them a light novel or whatever okay um so
• 24:22
  i was like oh the story's already told and everything
• 24:23
  and then i i read some good stuff about the uh
• 24:27
  the anime and i i think i watched it in all in
• 24:31
  about two days or something because i got hooked
• 24:33
  And then I was like, okay, I've never seen an
• 24:35
  anime like this. It's like a sweet freaking love
• 24:39
  story. I mean, pretty basic or whatever, but
• 24:41
  there were some funny moments. There's a rom
• 24:44
  -com. In the romance anime, it's very well known.
• 24:53
  Toradora, you said the name was? Yeah. it means
• 24:59
  like tiger and dragon or something like that
• 25:01
  or it's like a play on the words tiger and dragon
• 25:03
  um because it's this it's like the the mean girl
• 25:07
  at school and and the other then the weird guy
• 25:12
  and then they both find out that their crushes
• 25:16
  are the other one's best friend oh my god no
• 25:18
  um so they're like oh i'll help you get together
• 25:21
  with her and you hit get together with him and
• 25:24
  then Most of it is all that, and they all, of
• 25:28
  course, you know, at the end, they realize they
• 25:31
  loved each other the whole time and all that
• 25:33
  kind of stuff. Okay, so because you are, I would
• 25:38
  not be a stretch to say your favorite genre of
• 25:41
  anime is romance or something along those lines.
• 25:45
  Yeah, or rom -com. Yeah, yeah. So the first anime
• 25:48
  that made it click for you was a romantic anime.
• 25:53
  Yeah. all right that makes sense i'd say rom
• 25:55
  -com there wasn't like lots of romantic scenes
• 25:58
  or anything but it was yeah it was just about
• 26:01
  the you know their cute little moments and stuff
• 26:03
  oh that's cool i mean coming from the uh but
• 26:06
  it but very much introduced you know the concept
• 26:09
  of a tsundere or whatever the fuck they call
• 26:12
  it what is that it's like the girl who's like
• 26:16
  it's not like i like you or anything but she
• 26:18
  very much does anime being silly you know I mean,
• 26:23
  95 % of plot in anime is just severely, people
• 26:29
  who lack severe social skills. That's basically
• 26:34
  it most of the time. I think that's why there's
• 26:38
  a lot of elements of like farce almost in a lot
• 26:44
  of the comedy where it's like, yeah, it's kind
• 26:46
  of a stretch to be like, really, this person
• 26:48
  didn't notice this or that. But I do tend to
• 26:52
  like that comedy where it's only funny because
• 26:53
  I know exactly what's going on and no one else
• 26:57
  in the fucking show does. Sure. We need to pause
• 27:02
  because my fucking cat got out. She made a break
• 27:07
  for it. Where were you keeping her? Inside the
• 27:10
  house. She's not an outdoorsy cat. Oh, she got
• 27:15
  out of the house. Okay. Yeah, she got out of
• 27:17
  the house. She's eight months old. She got out
• 27:18
  of the cage. Nah. Okay, you better go catch her.
• 27:21
  I don't know where the fuck she is. She's just,
• 27:24
  she's crazy. All right, I'll be right back. All
• 27:27
  right. Back, sir. Back? All right, let's see.
• 27:31
  Let me make a mark here. Cat found. Oh, sorry
• 27:34
  about that. Yeah, she just likes to sneak off.
• 27:37
  Welcome back. Thank you. Did she run to his,
• 27:41
  was she hard to catch when she's outside? Did
• 27:43
  she run away from you? No, found her a couple
• 27:45
  of houses over on the sidewalk, just sniffing
• 27:48
  some sand. And then she turned around and saw
• 27:51
  me. And we just like crossed, you know, what
• 27:56
  do you call it? Our eyes met. And I gave her
• 28:00
  the, what the fuck do you think you're doing?
• 28:03
  And she was like, oh, snap. And then I just,
• 28:07
  you know, gestured to like get the fuck back
• 28:10
  in the house. And she just fucking darted right
• 28:11
  back in. Oh, really? That's good. Nice. She knows
• 28:15
  her home. Hopefully. I mean, I would let her
• 28:18
  out more often or wherever she likes, but there's
• 28:21
  a bunch of stray cats and dogs around here. I'm
• 28:24
  just scared they're going to eat her. Yeah. Yeah,
• 28:27
  it's not safe for them. Yeah. How did you end
• 28:33
  up with a cat? Did you go out with the intention
• 28:38
  to adopt a cat? After my divorce, I was feeling
• 28:44
  kind of lonely. So, and then a friend of mine
• 28:49
  who has a cat, she was going away on a trip,
• 28:53
  three -week trip to Barcelona. I'm like, that's
• 28:58
  good for you. I'm just here fucking, you know,
• 29:01
  brokenhearted and jobless. But hey, cool news
• 29:05
  on the Barcelona trip. And she was like, hope
• 29:08
  you enjoy your vacation. Yeah, fucking go enjoy
• 29:11
  life, bitch. Fucking awesome right now for you.
• 29:16
  And she was like, can you take care of my cat?
• 29:17
  I'm like, fuck, dude. And she lived close by
• 29:21
  back then. It was like a 10 -minute trip to her
• 29:25
  house. But I would just have to go every night
• 29:28
  to her house to fucking feed the cat. I'm like,
• 29:32
  this is nuts, bro. So I just took her in, spent
• 29:35
  three weeks with her, and just loved having a
• 29:38
  cat. Yeah, they grow on you. I love cats, too.
• 29:41
  I wish I could have one. Why can't you have?
• 29:43
  They don't allow pets in your... no they do but
• 29:46
  i'm just gone it's wouldn't i mean the cat would
• 29:49
  survive but i'm gone at least three three days
• 29:52
  a week if not four um get two cats yeah i've
• 29:58
  thought about it if i did get some i would have
• 30:00
  to get like a bonded older pair that isn't running
• 30:02
  around here it's a small place though yeah and
• 30:05
  starts to smell like cat shit yeah and ideally
• 30:08
  yes you should have someone to look in on them
• 30:11
  at least once you know when you're away yeah
• 30:13
  i suppose So I did have an itch to take care
• 30:18
  of something, so I got a snake. You got a snake?
• 30:22
  Mm -hmm. I think he likes it better when I'm
• 30:24
  gone anyway. It's just the house is all dark
• 30:26
  and fucking... What's its name? Sir Hissalot.
• 30:30
  Of course. But yeah, he really doesn't care when
• 30:35
  he's left alone. At this point, he's full grown,
• 30:38
  so he eats close to every two weeks. shits once
• 30:43
  every two weeks nice how large is it is he uh
• 30:47
  he's about three feet it's a ball python they
• 30:52

• 31:14
  What? Whoa. How did you do the applause sound
• 31:18
  effects when I... Oh, on the side. Oh, sure.
• 31:22
  That helps a fucking lot. The side. You see where
• 31:26
  it says people, chat, stream, brand, text, media.
• 31:29
  It's under media. Probably because it's your
• 31:31
  studio. I don't have media. I only have people
• 31:33
  in chat. Oh, really? Yeah. I wonder if I can
• 31:35
  make you like a... Co -author. Yeah. pin move
• 31:40
  to backstage turn on camera so what was your
• 31:44
  first anime that you were like oh i could i could
• 31:46
  get into this i want to watch some more of this
• 31:49
  i want to dive deeper hmm the one that made me
• 31:53
  dive deeper probably code gs because at the time
• 32:01
  i was dating this girl who was really into anime
• 32:03
  i was like bitch have you have you seen dragon
• 32:06
  ball that's it You don't need to watch any more
• 32:10
  than that. And she was like, oh my God, like
• 32:12
  Dragon Ball is like such a kiddie. Stupid anime.
• 32:17
  It's just, dude, Spidey. Is that the cat or is
• 32:21
  that your chair? No, it's a cat. I came here
• 32:24
  to get some chocolate milk and this girl thinks
• 32:27
  every time I come to the kitchen, it's something
• 32:29
  for her. So yeah, Lelouch, you ever watch it,
• 32:32
  Code GS? No. It's about some rich kid who secretly.
• 32:39
  You know, there's this world where, like, I don't
• 32:43
  know what world war or whatever. England now
• 32:46
  pretty much controls the entire planet. Oh, okay.
• 32:49
  And so this rich kid who's, I think he's royalty.
• 32:52
  He's like nephew or something of the emperor.
• 32:56
  But he lives in Japan because Japan is, you know,
• 32:59
  a colony of the Britannic Empire. Yes. And he
• 33:04
  fucking hates his family, dude. Hate them. Fucking
• 33:08
  suck. And there's a bunch of colonizers. Fucking
• 33:11
  assholes. And there's this group of like rebels.
• 33:17
  And is that your snake? Yeah. That's pretty cool,
• 33:23
  dude. And there's another one of them. It's pretty
• 33:27
  sleek. It's a little fat. This was kind of a
• 33:33
  while ago. He's probably half the size he is
• 33:35
  now in that picture. That's pretty cool. So they
• 33:39
  sold out a little bit, but yeah. So there's a,
• 33:43
  so, you know, the kid is like royalty who hates
• 33:48
  his family. And then there's the rebels who are
• 33:53
  plotting against, you know, they don't want the
• 33:56
  rule of the British Empire, at least not for
• 33:59
  Japan. Yeah, for sure. And then there's this
• 34:02
  girl. comes out of nowhere i think she's an alien
• 34:06
  or some shit big tits no she's more like you
• 34:11
  know slim pale type with green hair green hair
• 34:16
  i like that type long green hair she suddenly
• 34:19
  she suddenly appears i think in our protagonist's
• 34:23
  bedroom or something instead of trying to have
• 34:25
  sex with her he ignores her because you know
• 34:28
  he's just way too cool for girls dude and she
• 34:32
  would never go out with a guy like me no she's
• 34:35
  he's just like yeah i've seen fucking pillowcases
• 34:39
  more interesting than you or like oh one of those
• 34:43
  you know he's got more pressing issues on his
• 34:45
  mind like trying to fucking destroy his family
• 34:47
  okay yeah fucking girls she would never understand
• 34:51
  she's such a simple person but she's like an
• 34:56
  alien or something and uh She bestows upon him
• 35:01
  the GSI or the, I don't know, something. It's
• 35:08
  a superpower or an ability that allows him to
• 35:13
  tell people what to do and they have to do it.
• 35:18
  He has to look at him in the eye. I think the
• 35:22
  power is like in one of his eyes, left or right,
• 35:24
  I don't know. So he's like. Oh, I just was like,
• 35:27
  Code Geass. Okay, I've seen that name. Geass.
• 35:31
  Geass. I've always said Geass. That's what it
• 35:34
  is. Like, Geass. I'm sorry, Geass. Tomato, tomato.
• 35:40
  I searched anime GSI Lucha. Lucha. Lucha? Lelucha?
• 35:47
  Guy's name is Lelucha. But I found it. So that's
• 35:50
  what that's about. Yes, and the guy uses this
• 35:53
  power. To start fucking shit up in high school.
• 35:57
  Because, you know, the girl that's maybe an alien
• 36:02
  with the green hair, the guy who hates his family,
• 36:05
  and a couple of guys from the rebellion, they're
• 36:08
  all in the same high school, obviously. Mm -hmm.
• 36:12
  Mm -hmm. So you get your high school hijinks,
• 36:17
  and you get your deeper... political plotting
• 36:21
  and the guy uses his power to become the leader
• 36:23
  of the rebellion. It's really good. Okay. That's
• 36:27
  what I was, I was going to ask is like, is it
• 36:29
  a more of a story about him, like the character
• 36:33
  or is it about like the broader picture of like
• 36:36
  political intrigue and stuff? Yeah, it's, it's,
• 36:39
  it's, it's got it all. I don't think it has much
• 36:42
  romance. I don't really like, well, I mean, I
• 36:44
  don't mind if it doesn't have romance, but I
• 36:46
  like, you know, those. I used to be more into
• 36:49
  fantasy, but like the fucking Game of Thrones
• 36:52
  where at the end it's like, okay, it's just fucking,
• 36:54
  well, if you marry this person, I'll send you
• 36:58
  over here to fucking fuck that person and then
• 37:00
  they'll get mad and they'll start a war with
• 37:03
  these people and blah, blah, blah. It's like,
• 37:04
  okay. Nah, it's not much of that. Okay. A lot
• 37:09
  of, whenever you see anime that's like political
• 37:13
  or, you know, or there's the military. is part
• 37:20
  of the story, which is one of the things I was
• 37:23
  telling you about why I like anime or what I
• 37:26
  would like to discuss about anime. You get a
• 37:29
  sense because Japan, you know, here comes a bit
• 37:33
  of history lesson. All right, we're ready. Japan
• 37:36
  got, they got nuked the shit out of them, dude,
• 37:39
  back in the 40s. A couple times. The US of A
• 37:44
  dropped two nukes on them. They were like, Oppenheimer,
• 37:48
  what you got? I call it the nuclear bombs. And
• 37:52
  they were like, cool, let's drop them on the
• 37:54
  Japs. They dropped two of them. Please don't.
• 37:59
  I don't think it's a good idea. Fuck you. They
• 38:03
  dropped them and they got the emperor of Japan,
• 38:07
  who was at the time, you know, considered fucking
• 38:09
  a deity, a god, descended straight from the heavens
• 38:14
  to rule. over the islands where the sun never
• 38:18
  sets or where the sun is born they got uh they
• 38:22
  got i think it was irohito i don't know what
• 38:25
  the fuck his name was but anyway they got the
• 38:27
  emperor of japan that sounded pretty good they
• 38:30
  got they got him to come out of his fucking palace
• 38:33
  onto the uss uh fuck you japan or whatever the
• 38:38
  hell it was called and he personally surrendered
• 38:41
  to some general i remember And, uh, and then
• 38:47
  the U S was like, the only term is unconditional
• 38:51
  surrender, which also means you can never have
• 38:54
  an army or rather, uh, what we call defensive,
• 38:59
  an offensive military force. Oh, okay. And so
• 39:02
  they've been, I think up until recently where
• 39:05
  the new Japanese prime minister, who's a lady,
• 39:08
  she was like, fuck China. You know what? If you
• 39:12
  Chinese don't like it, we'll fuck you, too. Yeah.
• 39:17
  Unfortunately, if she said that, I'm sure America,
• 39:21
  the way it is right now, is probably whoever's
• 39:24
  in charge is like, yeah, you're right. Fuck them.
• 39:25
  Go ahead. Fuck them. No. Because, you know, the
• 39:29
  U .S. Yeah, you fuck them. We'll watch. Fuck
• 39:32
  them. Is it going to be a crunch roll? The U
• 39:38
  .S. is sitting in its little cook chair watching
• 39:40
  Japan fuck China. Fuck that Chinese. Wait, who's
• 39:45
  a Japanese? Oh, you can't see that anymore. I
• 39:49
  don't think you can see that. This is a 2008.
• 39:52
  What the fuck? Who's who? God damn it. I can't
• 39:58
  tell these Asians apart. I almost said Asian
• 40:01
  American. Look at these Asian Americans. Fucking
• 40:06
  Asians. Damn it. Anyway, so Japan has had in
• 40:12
  its history. Trump probably says Oriental. I
• 40:15
  can see him dropping an Oriental. Jesus Christ.
• 40:17
  I bet he would. Japan has always had this thing,
• 40:21
  you know, where they basically, like you said,
• 40:24
  could hold it for their entire, or at least from
• 40:28
  World War II. They're not allowed to have a large
• 40:31
  army. They're not allowed to. you know, fucking
• 40:34
  shoot at people. And so whenever there's a lot
• 40:37
  of themes or this recurrent theme of Japan not
• 40:41
  being in control of their own sovereignty or
• 40:43
  being in control of their will as a government,
• 40:47
  as a country, because of the Americans or because
• 40:50
  of what happened, it can always, or not always,
• 40:53
  but most of the time you will see it in anime.
• 40:55
  So that's why you have Lelouch, where Japan is
• 40:58
  a colony of a Western power. And they're trying
• 41:01
  to, you know, break free. Which you could say
• 41:04
  is a fantasy. It's science fiction. There's a
• 41:06
  lot of, you know, giant robots. There's giant
• 41:09
  robots in Kojiya's. I mean, you gotta have giant
• 41:11
  robots. But this whole thing of nationalism,
• 41:16
  of, you know, getting your throat off of the
• 41:19
  Western oppressor's boot. Boot? How do you say
• 41:24
  boot in English? Boot, yeah. It's our current
• 41:28
  theme. I think. Oh, like getting out from under
• 41:32
  the boot. Okay, got it. You got me, bro. Okay,
• 41:35
  that's definitely a blind spot of mine. It's
• 41:37
  political anime. We'll have to check some of
• 41:39
  that out. I don't think there's a whole bunch.
• 41:42
  There probably is, but some of the anime has
• 41:45
  political undertones or political themes. It's
• 41:48
  interesting. I mean, as any work of art, it is
• 41:53
  a reflection of the artist and where the artist
• 41:56
  grew up and his influences. So it's pretty cool.
• 41:59
  You learn a lot about Japanese culture watching
• 42:02
  anime. Yeah. That's very interesting. Yeah, that's
• 42:05
  real Japanese culture, isn't it? Yeah, dude.
• 42:10
  I actually just recently added to the list some
• 42:13
  that take part in. Japan? During the time of
• 42:19
  World War II. They were recommended to me because
• 42:23
  they're kind of tragedies. I love a tragedy.
• 42:27
  So I don't think I don't know how political they're
• 42:30
  going to be. I think it's more just, you know,
• 42:31
  personal stories about loss and stuff. That's
• 42:34
  those are a sucker for that shit. Damn. Loss
• 42:39
  or moving on, like people moving into the next
• 42:41
  phase of life and losing their old friends. Fucking.
• 42:44
  Oh, God. Yeah. No, not so much. No, I mean, I
• 42:52
  mean, I guess it's not a bad. It's not a bad
• 42:57
  thing. I mean, you know, moving on. Far life.
• 43:02
  Yeah, it is. You either move on or you die. That's
• 43:04
  why it's so bittersweet. It's a good thing, but
• 43:07
  it's also bittersweet and stuff. I don't know.
• 43:09
  I just like expressions of that in anime. That's
• 43:13
  cool. That's interesting. So, yeah. Code Geass
• 43:17
  or Geass or whatever the fuck. It's Geass forever
• 43:21
  now. I'm going to add it to my list. Code Geass.
• 43:27
  It got me into anime. It got me into wanting
• 43:31
  more. Like, oh, I didn't know anime could be
• 43:33
  this interesting. That's probably when I was
• 43:36
  around 20 years old. Because at the time, all
• 43:39
  the anime I had ever watched was Dragon Ball.
• 43:44
  And Evangelion, even though I didn't get anything.
• 43:48
  It was just big robots. Oh, cool, it was big
• 43:50
  robots. Doesn't the guy, like, jack off on the
• 43:54
  girl in the hospital or something at the end?
• 43:58
  uh in the movie that's the only thing i know
• 44:01
  about it it's well it's it's it's it's it was
• 44:05
  a very shocking scene very shocking i might have
• 44:08
  to say it's in the movie the original anime i
• 44:11
  think has 26 episodes and the final episode is
• 44:16
  weird as fuck you have to i have to tell you
• 44:19
  the whole fucking plot To explain it. Yeah, maybe
• 44:23
  not too much spoilers because I do plan to watch
• 44:25
  that. It's a classic, dude. And if you're into
• 44:29
  like loneliness and suffering and moving on,
• 44:31
  but not really moving on because everyone dies.
• 44:36
  It's a cool anime. That's good too. But then
• 44:40
  the ending was so weird that people were like,
• 44:42
  what the fuck is this, dude? And the studio was
• 44:45
  like, dude, what the fuck is this, man? Dude
• 44:50
  was like, it's art. And they're like, no, but
• 44:52
  let's try to make it, you know, something cooler
• 44:55
  for the fans. Yeah. Because the ending was sort
• 44:59
  of anticlimactic. You know, there was no big
• 45:02
  explosions or big fight or big emotional release.
• 45:05
  It was just very, very weird. And so they made
• 45:09
  a movie which retells the final two episodes.
• 45:14
  You know, it's a different story. Oh, yeah. Okay.
• 45:19
  And so you get the scene with the guy masturbates
• 45:21
  on top of the girl who's unconscious at the hospital.
• 45:24
  And that all hell breaks loose, dude. Literally.
• 45:30
  Really good. You should watch it. Got a bunch
• 45:32
  of those will they, won't they moments. Okay.
• 45:36
  I love a will they, won't they moment. Because,
• 45:38
  you know, they're fighting, they're big robots
• 45:40
  and fighting aliens. But all main characters
• 45:43
  are in the same high school. Of course. That's
• 45:50
  right. I did. I have, I think I watched the first
• 45:52
  episode and I was like, I'm going to watch this
• 45:53
  show. And I was like, what is this happening?
• 45:56
  Yeah. Um, do you even need a, she has to pilot
• 45:59
  this thing for why? Like what? They even, they
• 46:03
  made a remake, rebuilt of Evangelion. And I think
• 46:07
  it's on Amazon. Yeah. Yeah. There's a, I think
• 46:12
  there's four movies. So the first two are like
• 46:15
  basically. the first 26 episodes and then the
• 46:20
  story just takes a very different spin i don't
• 46:23
  like animation is fantastic when you watch the
• 46:26
  original then you watch this it's like whoa dude
• 46:29
  computers and stuff the original has some sick
• 46:34
  animation really good scenes uh cool yeah sometimes
• 46:38
  the computer stuff i don't like it it seems i
• 46:40
  mean i know none of it's easy to make but sometimes
• 46:42
  i'll be like did they do that because they're
• 46:44
  lazy right Or maybe to appeal to a different
• 46:49
  aesthetic, because young kids are used to, they
• 46:51
  grew up on these shitty, crappy 3D shows. True,
• 46:57
  they're right. They're like, we need to make
• 46:58
  fucking... Crappy 3D anime. Yeah, we need to
• 47:03
  make it look like fucking roly -poly -oly or
• 47:05
  whatever. Exactly, that's what I think is going
• 47:07
  on. But it's a good thing that it's kind of been
• 47:10
  phased out, I think. I mean, whenever I see 3D
• 47:13
  stuff... or, you know, CGI stuff, animates, very,
• 47:16
  very tastefully added, I would say. Oh, you know,
• 47:22
  you know what? One that I liked, and actually
• 47:26
  this was before Toradora. Yes. I just thought
• 47:29
  it was a one -off, was Bee Stars on Netflix.
• 47:32
  Bee Stars? Isn't bees are stars? Well, it's actually
• 47:36
  more beast, beast, bee stars. Because it's about
• 47:39
  a bunch of talking animals who are... go to high
• 47:43
  school together and they all go to the same fucking
• 47:48
  high school and yeah exactly oh that's the thing
• 47:51
  carnivores and herbivores go to the same high
• 47:53
  school and then the wolf falls in love with a
• 47:55
  rabbit um but that the animation on that is definitely
• 48:00
  a lot of computer animation but that i thought
• 48:02
  looked pretty good are you are you like into
• 48:05
  furries no oh strange I did call it, when I was
• 48:13
  big into watching that, I always called it my
• 48:15
  furry show, though. It looks, yeah, it looks
• 48:18
  very furry. I saw a movie once called Wolf Children.
• 48:23
  This lady falls in love with a werewolf. Werewolf
• 48:26
  pretty much dies because he can't get a job.
• 48:30
  You know, all he does is fucking hunt for food
• 48:32
  and brings food. You know, you bring her like
• 48:35
  a deer. She's like, oh, thank you, honey. But,
• 48:40
  you know. We need to pay rent. And dude, I think
• 48:46
  the guy eventually dies, you know, just because,
• 48:49
  you know, he's out there fucking killing deer.
• 48:52
  Someone kills him or something. And she has to
• 48:55
  raise his kids all on her own. So she moves to
• 48:58
  the countryside. Very beautiful anime. You should
• 49:00
  watch it. What's that one called? Wolf Children.
• 49:03
  Oh, that's on my list, actually. Really? Just
• 49:06
  the other night I was going through stuff and
• 49:08
  I found that one and it sounded interesting.
• 49:10
  It's a movie. Cool thing about movies is that
• 49:12
  you don't have to spend, you know, five episodes.
• 49:16
  Literally less. And like thinking, do I like
• 49:19
  this or just, you know. Maybe next episode will
• 49:23
  get better. So literally last night I was looking
• 49:26
  for tearjerker movies and that was on the thing.
• 49:32
  So I didn't end up watching it, but I watched
• 49:35
  something else. Oh, cool. So yeah, movies are
• 49:38
  cool. But it did sound very interesting. You
• 49:40
  get a full plot in two hours or something. Anime
• 49:44
  usually way better animation than your regular
• 49:47
  anime, episodic anime. Yeah. Yeah, no, I like
• 49:51
  an anime movie from time to time. Yeah. I just,
• 49:55
  I like so much of that, like, slice of life stuff.
• 49:57
  Like, I don't think it, it can sustain 50 episodes,
• 50:01
  but it couldn't sustain a movie by itself. It's
• 50:03
  best watched in 20 minute chunks. Yeah, definitely.
• 50:08
  Not enough time in an Ovidu. dedicate that much
• 50:12
  time to watching a guy do grocery shopping yeah
• 50:16
  no have you seen uh but you put it in a tv show
• 50:21
  and i'll sit there for six hours binge watch
• 50:23
  exactly watching him grocery shop wondering if
• 50:27
  he's gonna talk to the freaking oh have you seen
• 50:29
  you're big into smoke have you seen smoking behind
• 50:32
  the the supermarket with you you know what uh
• 50:37
  side note here You know what Tinder is? Yeah.
• 50:43
  All right. So I hooked up with this girl on Tinder.
• 50:47
  Okay. And she's like, I like anime. I'm like,
• 50:50
  girl. Prepare to fucking listen to me. Do you
• 50:58
  know what happened in Japan in 1945? Let me tell
• 51:05
  you the story of Emperor Hirohito. Anyway. And
• 51:09
  she was telling me about this exact anime the
• 51:13
  other day. She was like, I think you like it
• 51:15
  because you like smoking. I'm like, wow, dude.
• 51:18
  You know me so well. You're so deep into my mind,
• 51:23
  girl. Damn. Fucking kids. Was it that one? Wait.
• 51:30
  The guys smoking behind a convenience store or
• 51:34
  something like that? smoking behind the supermarket
• 51:36
  with you yeah yeah that's exactly it and he doesn't
• 51:39
  realize it's the it's the girl that he likes
• 51:41
  who's also works yeah yeah yeah something like
• 51:44
  that yeah um because there's two actually funnily
• 51:47
  enough there's like two big new smoking animes
• 51:50
  right now there's that one and then chain smoker
• 51:52
  cat nasty it's disgusting i've watched like three
• 51:59
  episodes i'm like I think I even read something
• 52:02
  like, you know, the Japanese are so, you know,
• 52:05
  cleanliness and order is just such a huge part
• 52:08
  of their culture. It's basically shock anime.
• 52:11
  It's like. Oh, really? Yeah. A bunch of people
• 52:14
  in Japan are like, fuck this shit. This is disgusting.
• 52:20
  But yeah, it is very filthy. I've only watched
• 52:22
  a couple of episodes. I'm not really following
• 52:23
  the plot or anything, but. I mean, I don't think
• 52:26
  there is one. It's just, I know. I saw her full
• 52:29
  on taking shit. Yeah. And she's got cigarettes
• 52:35
  all around her house. Whenever she, wherever
• 52:38
  she decides to lay down and just, you know, exist.
• 52:41
  Yeah. In their own filth. There's a couple of
• 52:44
  cigarettes here by. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty nasty,
• 52:47
  but slice of life. I was going to ask if you'd
• 52:52
  ever seen. No. Or the way of the house husband.
• 52:59
  Oh, no. You know what I'm saying? It's some Yakuza
• 53:02
  hitman who renounced the life and then he met
• 53:07
  a beautiful girl and they got married. And she
• 53:09
  works and he stays at home because he has no
• 53:11
  job. So he does everything. You know, cooking,
• 53:15
  cleaning, taking care of the cat. But people
• 53:18
  see him on the street and they remember this
• 53:20
  fearless Yakuza hitman and he goes about is a
• 53:27
  very particular way of going about things. And
• 53:29
  it's a comedy anime and it's just absolutely
• 53:31
  fucking hilarious. You know, if you're into,
• 53:34
  cause that's another thing. Humor and anime is
• 53:36
  so different than what you might see. Yeah. You
• 53:39
  know, Western movies or animation or even Latin
• 53:43
  America. It's just fucking hilarious. It's yeah.
• 53:47
  And it's, it only works because you're, you're
• 53:50
  watching animated characters going at it. Yeah.
• 53:55
  Which is, Partly some of the issues, or one of
• 54:00
  the issues I have with most live action adaptations
• 54:05
  of anime, they try to maybe sometimes do the
• 54:08
  same jokes or recreate a character's personality.
• 54:12
  It just doesn't work for me. Yeah. It never does.
• 54:18
  It's like they try to... yeah they try to take
• 54:21
  some of it and reuse it but then they also try
• 54:22
  to make it too real it's like no just lean into
• 54:25
  the fact that it's based on a fucking cartoon
• 54:27
  and make everything silly as shit yeah but then
• 54:29
  why are we watching live action i just rather
• 54:31
  watch the anime then yeah i mean um yeah i guess
• 54:36
  it's different because there's already something
• 54:37
  in the visual medium i always think of when superhero
• 54:41
  movies over here started to get bigger and bigger
• 54:43
  and the the first wave of like dc movies was
• 54:46
  always taken a little bit too seriously and it's
• 54:49
  They tried to do too much realism. And then Marvel
• 54:52
  came around and was like, no, we're putting people
• 54:53
  in fucking stupid costumes with capes and they're
• 54:56
  running around the city and we're just going
• 54:57
  to do it. And then it becomes this huge thing.
• 55:00
  Yeah. That was always my theory was because they
• 55:03
  just embraced it. Yeah, no, it's comic book shit.
• 55:07
  Exactly. Except with anime, it's like, well,
• 55:11
  yeah, they already have something I can watch.
• 55:14
  Yeah. And it's not like, you know, Marvel heroes,
• 55:17
  whenever they... do something stupid or something
• 55:21
  bad happens to them their faces do not completely
• 55:24
  transform into like a circle with like you know
• 55:27
  that's true yeah you know that cutaway stuff
• 55:30
  you got you got so much like animation uh what
• 55:34
  would you how would you call them i don't know
• 55:37
  it's just stuff that's unique to anime you know
• 55:39
  the way a character could express emotions by
• 55:43
  becoming or by looking completely different by
• 55:45
  changing in size yeah You know, they go from
• 55:47
  like a regular person and they become, when they're
• 55:49
  embarrassed or something, they become this like
• 55:51
  chibi type character. And like, you know, with
• 55:54
  like fucking rivers of tears flowing down their
• 55:58
  eyes. Yeah, yeah. Some silly shit. It's just,
• 56:01
  it just fits so well if you're into anime. So,
• 56:05
  yeah, the humor in this, where the house husband,
• 56:09
  it's a Yakuza dude trying to do some serious
• 56:13
  shit. But it's, it's fucking hilarious. And the
• 56:17
  episodes are like the episodes are like six,
• 56:20
  eight minutes long. Oh, okay. I think it's on
• 56:22
  Netflix, but it's pretty good. You should definitely
• 56:25
  watch it. All right. Well, let's add that on
• 56:29
  there. So we have something to talk about next
• 56:32
  time. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't end up talking about
• 56:36
  what we're going to, how we're going to format
• 56:39
  any of this stuff. No, we're just shooting the
• 56:42
  shit. What's, what's even the name of the podcast?
• 56:44
  Which is fine too. You had your, let me see if
• 56:48
  I can find it at Google. Oh, I'm on it right
• 56:50
  now. We had an escape. Oh God. It sounds like
• 56:54
  something about an anus for the low lease for
• 56:59
  the low lease. Yeah. Yeah. Zaro. Zaro. Zaro.
• 57:05
  You put that one there. What the, don't ask me.
• 57:09
  Zach and Ron and Buddha, Buddha, the casuto.
• 57:14
  Broadcast. I don't know about that. Is it too
• 57:25
  Japanese sounding? Yeah, I don't know. I think
• 57:28
  it's super tense. I hate anime is kind of fun.
• 57:33
  The thing about I hate anime is that for some
• 57:37
  reason it reminds me of this website. Remember
• 57:40
  Metal Sucks? Does it still exist? It does. I
• 57:45
  think they're owned by some big corporation.
• 57:51
  Yeah. And I used to hate Metal Sox because the
• 57:55
  guy, you know, he kept hating on Fred Durst and
• 57:58
  Limp Bizkit. And you love Fred Durst and Limp
• 58:01
  Bizkit? I mean, I don't love them, but whenever
• 58:03
  randomly fucking the nookie comes on the radio,
• 58:07
  I fucking headbang to that shit. I did it all
• 58:10
  for the nookie. And the guy fucking used to suck,
• 58:13
  I don't know what this band's name was, Avenged
• 58:20
  Sevenfold or one of those metal, I don't remember
• 58:25
  what genre they were. But yeah, from that era,
• 58:30
  that was really big. It was Avenged Sevenfold.
• 58:32
  It was Engage, Killswitch Engage. Killswitch
• 58:35
  Engage. Yeah. I mean, they had a couple of good
• 58:38
  songs. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I think
• 58:40
  I heard maybe like, I was like, all right, let's
• 58:43
  see what the fuck is all this about. And I listened
• 58:45
  to a couple of songs and I was like, okay. But
• 58:48
  none of them have endured the way the Nookie
• 58:52
  has. And it was all about having fun. And this
• 58:56
  guy made it a point to just fucking hate, hate
• 58:58
  Fred Durst and the biscuit every chance you get.
• 59:02
  I didn't like it. Well, it was just way too.
• 59:06
  I wonder how we came across because we used to
• 59:07
  hate on shit a lot too. Yeah, but we used to
• 59:10
  hate on everything. We didn't have a, you know,
• 59:14
  it's like every single episode you'd hear Ron
• 59:16
  go on about fucking how much he hates Avenged
• 59:18
  Sevenfold. It wasn't like that. It was this week,
• 59:24
  this week we're hating on. Exactly. Exactly.
• 59:30
  So it kind of reminds me of that. And, uh, okay.
• 59:33
  I guess it's just a me thing. A little too snarky.
• 59:35
  Yeah. But, uh, I mean, I, is there a way we didn't
• 59:42
  actually consult the name metalscape with anyone
• 59:44
  just came out and people just like, you know,
• 59:47
  I don't even remember. I think it was your idea,
• 59:50
  right? The landscape of metal. with second yeah
• 59:53
  yeah stupid and it's not like the name drew people
• 59:59
  in i don't know yeah metals people the is this
• 1:00:05
  crap but it was just a name and it wasn't it
• 1:00:09
  wasn't horrible i guess because no one ever said
• 1:00:12
  you know what guys i love the podcast but your
• 1:00:15
  name is awful they were just like whatever dude
• 1:00:19
  it's like you know like nissan or any other name
• 1:00:22
  like sure it's a name but the content is good
• 1:00:26
  so maybe not try to focus too much in the name
• 1:00:29
  make the content good yeah but now it's like
• 1:00:33
  uh but we still gotta be called something and
• 1:00:35
  it's gotta be cool so let's keep going down the
• 1:00:40
  list i mean i hate anime we could do that yeah
• 1:00:42
  i don't think that's awful but i do know what
• 1:00:44
  you mean and it it can kind of give I'm not as
• 1:00:48
  negative as I used to be about a lot of stuff.
• 1:00:50
  And it can get off of like, oh, are these guys
• 1:00:51
  just going to try to be snarky the whole time?
• 1:00:53
  Bro, you watch rom -com anime. Hater? The hater
• 1:00:58
  tag is just not. Cannot be a fighter. You are
• 1:01:04
  the people haters hate on. That's true. But yeah,
• 1:01:11
  we don't want people. We want people to come
• 1:01:13
  in and listen and realize how. Yeah, because
• 1:01:15
  how diverse our anime takes are. Because I hate
• 1:01:20
  anime and I relate it to Metal Sucks. And what
• 1:01:23
  pops in my head is like a hater. Just dude doesn't
• 1:01:28
  know anything about anything. Just hating because
• 1:01:29
  he likes to hate. So then. Yeah. Yeah, no, not
• 1:01:33
  that one. And it's a very early 2000s like sarcastic
• 1:01:38
  name. Exactly. It's like, ooh, life sucks. Now,
• 1:01:42
  emotional damage. that's another that could be
• 1:01:45
  it's good i mean it it definitely anime is a
• 1:01:50
  very emotion emotion driven stories yeah pretty
• 1:01:56
  much all of them yeah and i think we'll be discussing
• 1:01:59
  that a lot and just about sometimes i still don't
• 1:02:02
  get it i'm like how come i feel closer to these
• 1:02:04
  fucking characters than i do on anything else
• 1:02:06
  i watch um is it because of my god this fucking
• 1:02:11
  chair Chair solo. Yeah. God, I suck, dude. He's
• 1:02:21
  got practice. I think you've got some Dodo D40
• 1:02:24
  back on the shelf there. Anyway, yeah, emotional
• 1:02:28
  damage works. Is it, do you think, you know,
• 1:02:32
  because it's obviously related to that meme with
• 1:02:36
  the Oriental guy. Emotional damage. I don't think
• 1:02:39
  you're allowed to say that. Okay, this Asian
• 1:02:45
  American guy. I think. You don't know what I'm
• 1:02:51
  talking about? I do know what you're talking
• 1:02:53
  about. Yeah, the emotional damage dude. I'm not
• 1:02:56
  going to do the voice, but. Do you think we have,
• 1:03:01
  do you think we're on the risk of being canceled?
• 1:03:04
  Or somewhat censored? Because if we don't adhere
• 1:03:08
  to the current politically correct. Language.
• 1:03:12
  I don't think cancellation's real. Okay. Especially
• 1:03:16
  not for someone like us. I mean, who's actually
• 1:03:19
  been canceled? Guess not. I guess you're right.
• 1:03:23
  I mean, Louis C .K. won a Grammy after he got
• 1:03:28
  canceled. There you go. Only the people who did,
• 1:03:32
  like, real heinous crimes, I think. And it's
• 1:03:35
  all about the vibe. Nothing, nothing we, yeah.
• 1:03:41
  nothing we say comes off as serious or anything
• 1:03:45
  that's actually believed. I guess you're right.
• 1:03:48
  We'd have to be like extremely famous for that
• 1:03:50
  to even be. Yeah. I'm not going to start saying,
• 1:03:53
  I mean, we're not going to start saying that
• 1:03:55
  N word, but no, no. I mean, there's some stuff
• 1:03:59
  that's really off limits, I suppose. But, um,
• 1:04:03
  I guess when, when our, uh, when our marketing,
• 1:04:07
  uh, you know what I was thinking, uh, I'll, bring
• 1:04:10
  it up in the episode now just just because yeah
• 1:04:13
  but i used to joke a lot more about like um pedophilia
• 1:04:19
  and like underage girls and stuff do you remember
• 1:04:22
  that yes but i mean at the time i was closer
• 1:04:26
  to eight that was just above 18 or whatever um
• 1:04:29
  but yeah that shit's not one i don't find it
• 1:04:32
  funny anymore and that shit would just come off
• 1:04:34
  as fucking weird yeah i see what you're saying
• 1:04:39
  Yeah, underage. If some almost 40 guy was like,
• 1:04:41
  yeah, fuck it. Yeah, I get what you're saying
• 1:04:46
  because I have two friends that have kids now.
• 1:04:50
  So we can't really do the whole underage kids.
• 1:04:53
  Baby fucking thing material. Yeah, I know. Yeah,
• 1:04:58
  no, I got a little nephew and niece now. Oh,
• 1:05:01
  yeah. Curtis is fatheads, kids. Man, he's got
• 1:05:07
  such a fat head. So, emotional damage. Yeah,
• 1:05:12
  I think that one can catch on. Do you think we'll
• 1:05:15
  get into some legal trouble? I think it's broad
• 1:05:18
  enough to be like, yeah, because we're going
• 1:05:21
  to be looking at the emotions of anime in all
• 1:05:22
  kinds of different, the happy ones, the sad ones,
• 1:05:25
  the weird ones. Yeah. What I was asking, do you
• 1:05:32
  think we'll get into some legal issues? I guess.
• 1:05:35
  Why? Is emotional damage a trademark? No. It
• 1:05:40
  is both a popular internet meme and a term for
• 1:05:43
  psychological harm. All right. So it's not really.
• 1:05:46
  Yeah. That guy doesn't have like the fucking,
• 1:05:48
  you're not allowed to say emotional damage because
• 1:05:51
  some guy said it. Yeah. Do you pay your dime
• 1:05:56
  every time you post the emotional damage meme?
• 1:06:01
  Yeah. And the guy who made it famous, Stephen
• 1:06:06
  Hay. Sounds like a Korean dude. Hey. He's Asian,
• 1:06:13
  you know, related to anime, I suppose. Stephen
• 1:06:17
  Hay. Chinese -Irish actor. What the fuck? Chinese
• 1:06:23
  -Irish. Interesting. Yeah. Probably share some
• 1:06:28
  ancestry. Maybe. Yeah. So, yeah, we have an in.
• 1:06:33
  If they want to come for us, I'd just be like,
• 1:06:35
  I'm like a distant cousin of him. Bro, bro, bro.
• 1:06:40
  We both come from the aisle. Yeah. And then we
• 1:06:45
  have subbed. Subbed, I don't. Yeah, that shit
• 1:06:49
  was dead. Still boring. That sounds like some
• 1:06:56
  shitty ass fucking sitcom. Got canceled after
• 1:07:00
  the second episode on fucking PBS or some shit.
• 1:07:04
  Hey, no, PBS is quality programming. It'd be
• 1:07:07
  on CBS. CBS, yeah. You're right. You're very
• 1:07:12
  right. Emotional damage, the anime podcast. I
• 1:07:17
  think that sounds pretty good. It's not bad.
• 1:07:20
  Yeah, let's go with it. Let's do it. We'll grow
• 1:07:22
  into it. Emotional damage. Are you ready for
• 1:07:25
  this? Yeah, so everyone who's here for the pilot
• 1:07:28
  episode, you were here for the naming. Yeah,
• 1:07:32
  you were here for emotional damage. I'll get
• 1:07:37
  some more of that later on. Yes. In the meantime,
• 1:07:42
  stay damaged. Stay damaged. Stay emotional, son.
• 1:07:48
  Stay emotional. That's really fucking weird.
• 1:07:57
  We should get a Japanese version that say emotional
• 1:08:00
  damage. Yeah. For like the logo or something?
• 1:08:03
  I don't know. Oh, no. Japanese person. I thought
• 1:08:06
  you said Japanese version. Oh, a Japanese version.
• 1:08:10
  We could do that. Yeah. We could do that. Oh,
• 1:08:13
  but a Japanese person. No, for sure. I bet on
• 1:08:15
  Fiverr we could hire some Japanese guys to be
• 1:08:17
  like, you're listening to emotional damage. What?
• 1:08:19
  Don't you ever get like Japanese passengers?
• 1:08:24
  Not often. Well, if you see one, just walk up
• 1:08:29
  to them. Because my airline, where we're based
• 1:08:31
  out of, United does most of the Asian markets.
• 1:08:37
  And they don't connect on us very often. I thought
• 1:08:39
  you were going to hit me with an undisclosed
• 1:08:41
  airline. Well, that too. Okay. Undisclosed base
• 1:08:48
  and an undisclosed airline. Sure. Well, if you
• 1:08:53
  ever see some Japanese dude, you can be like,
• 1:08:55
  you know, just walk up to him with your phone,
• 1:09:00
  hit record and be like, can you say emotional
• 1:09:02
  damage, please? And he's gonna be like, I was
• 1:09:08
  born in San Francisco. Can you just really fucking
• 1:09:14
  do a heavy Japanese accent? Jesus fucking Christ.
• 1:09:18
  You will get kicked off this thing. Yeah, we
• 1:09:25
  can do that. Okay, what's next on the doc? Oh,
• 1:09:28
  yeah. So, like, episode. Yeah, Emotional Damage,
• 1:09:32
  the anime podcast. We're set. Cool. Now, episode
• 1:09:36
  formats. Yes. What is that? I mean, we'll change.
• 1:09:42
  Like each episode are we going to talk about
• 1:09:44
  a series or a season of a show or something?
• 1:09:51
  I think. I mean, or for some shows, maybe not
• 1:09:55
  every show is like that. So I'm also not on top
• 1:09:59
  of stuff enough to be like, oh, now's the anime
• 1:10:01
  news segment or whatever the fuck. Because I'm
• 1:10:04
  watching a bunch of anime that's 20 years old.
• 1:10:07
  Well, that doesn't really matter. Because it's
• 1:10:09
  new to us, and it's probably new to the people.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's what I do. One of
• 1:10:13
  the things that I loved about Metalscape is that
• 1:10:15
  I think some guys just tuned in for, because
• 1:10:20
  they had some slight, you know, they listened
• 1:10:23
  to some metal. Yeah. And it was a fun listen.
• 1:10:31
  And through it, they got to learn about, you
• 1:10:34
  know, more and more bands maybe expand upon their
• 1:10:37
  tastes. Yes. Like an introduction. So we could
• 1:10:41
  be an introduction to some people who are like,
• 1:10:43
  you know, mildly into anime or these weird Japanese
• 1:10:47
  cartoons. Yeah. But then they end up watching
• 1:10:52
  their own Beastars and they're like, oh my God,
• 1:10:55
  this is it. Okay. So it doesn't really matter.
• 1:11:02
  We're talking about what we watched this week.
• 1:11:04
  40 -year -old anime. But what I was trying to
• 1:11:07
  say is that back in the MetalScape days, we started
• 1:11:10
  out just, you know, shooting the shit. And later
• 1:11:13
  we got into some sort of structure where we had
• 1:11:16
  some reoccurring segments. Yeah. That I think
• 1:11:19
  was nice because you give people some sort of
• 1:11:24
  structure. Something to look forward to. Something
• 1:11:28
  to follow up on. Hey, did you hear the latest?
• 1:11:32
  whatever. But we talked about, you know, watching.
• 1:11:36
  We also have like four hour long episodes. Exactly.
• 1:11:41
  With, you know, nothing but silence or you can
• 1:11:44
  hear the anime in the background. We're just
• 1:11:45
  watching. And then four episodes in, one of us
• 1:11:50
  is like, I gotta go take a shit, dude. So I think
• 1:11:58
  occasionally I like the idea of like each of
• 1:12:00
  us assigning the other person to watch something.
• 1:12:02
  I like that. Maybe not a whole season or a whole
• 1:12:06
  series. No, just, you know, watch this anime.
• 1:12:08
  I think you'll like it. Give me your thoughts.
• 1:12:10
  I mean, if you're into it, fine. If you quit
• 1:12:12
  after 10 minutes, fine. Oh, yeah. Just if it
• 1:12:15
  kept you interested or not. Yep. A must watch.
• 1:12:20
  Okay. Must watch. From me to you. From Russia
• 1:12:24
  with love. And I also like your idea of us to
• 1:12:28
  watch a new anime and follow along, you know,
• 1:12:32
  episode by episode, maybe watch until someone
• 1:12:35
  calls it quits or just, you know, go through
• 1:12:38
  the entire thing. That could be good for the
• 1:12:41
  introduction. They maybe even pick like a classic
• 1:12:43
  series. But it must be something. Like I've never
• 1:12:46
  seen Dragon Ball. Do we do a rewatch? For you,
• 1:12:48
  it's a rewatch? It's a rewatch, but it's been
• 1:12:51
  so long ago. 30 years ago or something but uh
• 1:12:56
  but yeah that also could be interesting a watch
• 1:12:59
  along and then finally maybe some like themes
• 1:13:03
  like yeah starting to you know those have a lot
• 1:13:07
  of work yeah I like the idea of that but as I
• 1:13:11
  was typing them down I'm like this is a lot of
• 1:13:12
  fucking work I was just trying to get some you
• 1:13:16
  know Now I'm giving myself fucking essays to
• 1:13:21
  write. Jesus Christ. Well, it can be something,
• 1:13:26
  you know, just a topic and then we can just start
• 1:13:30
  spitballing and shooting ideas off of each other.
• 1:13:35
  That's true. Yeah. Maybe it's less, it's not
• 1:13:37
  as structured as all that. We don't come in on
• 1:13:39
  like, this is a emotional damage special on sex
• 1:13:42
  in anime. Yeah. No, it could be something as
• 1:13:47
  simple as. Why are cats so prevalent in anime?
• 1:13:51
  Have you ever noticed that? Why not dogs? Why
• 1:13:56
  not rabbits? What is it about the Japanese and
• 1:13:59
  fucking cats? I mean, I love cats. I get it now.
• 1:14:02
  But, I mean, they're all over, dude. Yeah. Dragon
• 1:14:06
  Ball. Take Dragon Ball, for example. I mean,
• 1:14:09
  half of the characters in that show are fucking
• 1:14:11
  cats. Really? I did not know that. There's a
• 1:14:15
  whole bunch of cats. Okay. Maybe I do need to
• 1:14:18
  watch it. And cat looking people. There's a whole
• 1:14:21
  bunch of cats in that. And in anime in general,
• 1:14:24
  I don't know if in general, but cats do make
• 1:14:28
  more, they make more appearances than dogs in
• 1:14:34
  anime, I think. That is true. And I've never
• 1:14:37
  thought about it. And I would have never associated
• 1:14:39
  them with Japan. When I think of like, oh, old
• 1:14:41
  culture or a culture that loves cats, that's
• 1:14:44
  like fucking Egypt and shit. Yeah. But yeah,
• 1:14:49
  there's, and then the, well, I think it's more
• 1:14:51
  of a Chinese thing, like the beckoning cat, the
• 1:14:53
  good luck thing, the cat that's waving at you
• 1:14:55
  in the store. Yeah. The hell do you. Cats in
• 1:15:00
  anime. Yeah. That's our first fucking. Teams
• 1:15:04
  in anime with seconds. Have you noticed? Um,
• 1:15:10
  I don't think we have to name that segment or
• 1:15:13
  each segment. think someone no no these are just
• 1:15:16
  general ideas i had for stuff we could do sometimes
• 1:15:19
  really good stuff though really good stuff good
• 1:15:24
  good stuff good stuff i'd say creator deep dive
• 1:15:28
  oh yeah i had that like if there's a you know
• 1:15:31
  some someone who's made a few animes or a few
• 1:15:34
  movies or whatever looking at their their catalog
• 1:15:38
  the repertoire there Yeah, how things tie together,
• 1:15:42
  what changed, that kind of stuff. That's really
• 1:15:44
  cool. I remember right after Code Gay Ass, I
• 1:15:52
  watched Samurai Champloo. I've heard of that
• 1:15:56
  one, too. It's really good. Sounds cool. Samurai's
• 1:16:00
  in them. Has anyone fallen in love? No. I don't
• 1:16:06
  think so. Has anyone blushed, at least? Yes.
• 1:16:08
  A whole bunch. I love a blushing anime girl.
• 1:16:10
  Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a girl in there.
• 1:16:13
  No. Oh yeah. Yeah. She's covered in usual, you
• 1:16:19
  know, like downloading now. Oh yeah. How old
• 1:16:25
  is she? I mean, she's 17, like every other. And,
• 1:16:31
  um, and so I've got some good college stuff,
• 1:16:36
  but I had to like, I had to like search it out.
• 1:16:39
  I was like, show me an anime that takes place
• 1:16:41
  in like a college at least. Is it that, is that
• 1:16:44
  different than high school? Yeah. Right. Yeah.
• 1:16:47
  Just a little bit. It's a little bit more. Grown
• 1:16:50
  up. Grounded. There's less of the like, well,
• 1:16:52
  she probably doesn't want this and that. It's
• 1:16:55
  more real relationship stuff. Are there colleges?
• 1:16:57
  Golden time. In Japan? Are there colleges in
• 1:17:00
  Japan? I think they call them university or whatever.
• 1:17:05
  I never, I never, you know, I went to college
• 1:17:07
  in the U .S. I never understood what the fuck
• 1:17:09
  is a college. What is a college? You got high
• 1:17:12
  school, college, then university. No, a university,
• 1:17:18
  a college, I think traditionally a university
• 1:17:21
  has like different departments. Like, oh, Harvard,
• 1:17:24
  the College of Law at Harvard, the College of
• 1:17:28
  Medicine at Harvard or whatever. And at some
• 1:17:31
  point. People just started applying the word
• 1:17:35
  college to any sort of school that came after
• 1:17:38
  high school as just a catch -all. I don't know
• 1:17:43
  why. Okay, well, I went to Miami Dade College.
• 1:17:46
  They had a bunch of classes on all different
• 1:17:48
  topics. You get a degree from them as well. But
• 1:17:52
  anyway. Yeah, I mean, I've only ever went to
• 1:17:55
  junior colleges, but I don't know why they're
• 1:17:57
  not called junior universities or why. Is it
• 1:18:01
  only the old ones that call themselves a university?
• 1:18:03
  Maybe it's like a... I don't know. Yeah. Because
• 1:18:08
  people, even people who goes to a place that
• 1:18:10
  call, because like, oh, California, the university
• 1:18:14
  system, it's like UC Berkeley, University of
• 1:18:18
  Berkeley. But most of the people who go there
• 1:18:22
  are going to be like, oh yeah, I'm going to go
• 1:18:23
  to college at Berkeley. They still call it college,
• 1:18:26
  even though technically it's... title is a university
• 1:18:29
  i guess i don't know man that's not what this
• 1:18:31
  podcast is fucking the college podcast episode
• 1:18:38
  one what is a college we don't really know dude
• 1:18:43
  anyway you want to hear two guys talk about shit
• 1:18:46
  that they don't fully understand for two hours
• 1:18:49
  tune in to emotional damage the college anyway
• 1:18:57
  My point was that I watched Samurai Champloo,
• 1:19:02
  which is great, recommended. And then I found
• 1:19:07
  out that that guy made Cowboy Bebop. Okay. And
• 1:19:11
  I was like, whoa, I heard a lot about Cowboy
• 1:19:13
  Bebop. And so I think I watched a couple episodes
• 1:19:16
  of Cowboy Bebop, and I was like, don't know why.
• 1:19:20
  I didn't really like it. And it's very different.
• 1:19:26
  The only thing that tied them in is that really,
• 1:19:29
  really good music. Because Samurai Champloo was
• 1:19:33
  like samurai, you know, it was set in the samurai
• 1:19:36
  era. But the characters and the vibe and some
• 1:19:41
  of the outfits and the music was modern, you
• 1:19:44
  know, it was a bunch of a lot of hip hop, really
• 1:19:46
  cool music. Okay. Yeah, that's kind of cool when
• 1:19:49
  it's like a... but it's tastefully done it's
• 1:19:52
  not just you know ridiculous like you're gonna
• 1:19:54
  see a samurai like samurai wearing chains yeah
• 1:19:57
  and just driving around the escalate or something
• 1:20:00
  you know like what the and then but i know what
• 1:20:04
  you mean yeah and then cowboy bebop was in space
• 1:20:09
  and the whole soundtrack i think is just jazz
• 1:20:14
  Which is, I mean... Yeah, I haven't watched the
• 1:20:17
  whole series, but I watched a couple episodes,
• 1:20:19
  and I did like the music, and it is like a jazzy
• 1:20:21
  thing. To this day... Which I'm... I don't know.
• 1:20:22
  To this day, the... What is it? The soundtrack
• 1:20:28
  or whatever is a great listen anytime. I'm actually...
• 1:20:33
  Have you played any of the Persona games? No.
• 1:20:35
  What is that? It's a Japanese RPG series where
• 1:20:39
  you play a high schooler trying to solve a safe
• 1:20:42
  world or whatever. but i'm playing i'm playing
• 1:20:46
  i haven't played a lot of them um but i'm playing
• 1:20:48
  the remake of three right now and its music is
• 1:20:52
  killer and it's it's a lot of that kind of same
• 1:20:54
  upbeat jazzy stuff um that just gives the thing
• 1:20:59
  a whole weird vibe because like you're at midnight
• 1:21:01
  the world freezes and you're in some dark tower
• 1:21:03
  fighting all these things and meanwhile there's
• 1:21:05
  a saxophone solo going off in the back Oh, my
• 1:21:10
  God. I just Googled emotional damage podcast.

• 1:23:00
  talking about, like... history anime and stuff
• 1:23:03
  these personas that you get there i've googled
• 1:23:06
  some of them because i a lot of them like where
• 1:23:08

• 1:23:10
  like myth mythologies from all over the world

• 1:23:43

• 1:23:47
  it's cathartic feel good fuck you bitch uh so
• 1:23:52
  yeah not really i don't think i will try the
• 1:23:56
  persona thing Okay. It's a lot to get into. It's
• 1:24:01
  a long game. It's a fucking long game. I've been
• 1:24:04
  playing it for a long time. But are all these
• 1:24:06
  characters supposed to be Japanese? Yeah, you're
• 1:24:09
  in Japan. See, that's the thing. That's the thing.
• 1:24:14
  That's the elephant in the room for anime. Or
• 1:24:17
  with anime. How the hell can I share what? Oh
• 1:24:21
  my god, I can't share my screen. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:24
  Share with audio. Share with tab audio. Sure.
• 1:24:28
  I mean, I guess that could work for porn. Anyway,
• 1:24:32
  you see this lady here. Yes. The white lady.
• 1:24:38
  How would you characterize or describe her phenotype?
• 1:24:44
  White. She's white. She got blonde hair. Yeah.
• 1:24:47
  Blue eyes. Huge blue eyes. Yeah. Have you ever
• 1:24:52
  seen a Japanese person who looks like that? why
• 1:24:58
  is anime with very few exceptions why is anime
• 1:25:01
  just you know crowded with characters that look
• 1:25:04
  nothing like the japanese yeah i don't know i
• 1:25:09
  mean i get why like um the simple features and
• 1:25:13
  the big eyes and stuff for showing emotion and
• 1:25:15
  also just for drawing quickly like i get all
• 1:25:18
  that um but as far as why everyone's just white
• 1:25:20
  all the time i don't know all of them are white
• 1:25:22
  i mean look at this dude he kind of looks japanese
• 1:25:26
  But there's no Japanese with gray eyes. Oh, you
• 1:25:29
  know what? I've actually read about something
• 1:25:32
  like this. Look at his red head. They don't.
• 1:25:37
  This girl kind of looks Japanese, except for
• 1:25:39
  the huge fucking eyes. I understand the eyes,
• 1:25:40
  but you got to look at this fucking German looking
• 1:25:45
  asshole. This dude looks more Japanese -y, you
• 1:25:49
  know. I did hear, or I looked into this at some
• 1:25:54
  point. and apparently it's something to do with
• 1:25:56
  um so race isn't as big of a thing over there
• 1:26:01
  they don't really see like white people they
• 1:26:03
  don't look at those characters and say oh that
• 1:26:05
  a white person they're just like oh that's the
• 1:26:08
  whatever color they chose to make them um it's
• 1:26:12
  like they don't it's not a conscious thing it's
• 1:26:16
  just uh and then that's why it doesn't strike
• 1:26:18
  anyone as weird maybe it's easier to animate
• 1:26:20
  that way or something I don't think any Japanese
• 1:26:24
  person for the past 70 years has no idea what
• 1:26:28
  the fuck a white person is. No. It's like, oh,
• 1:26:32
  look at this fantasy character. He's got pale,
• 1:26:35
  scared blue eyes. Wow, that's fucking crazy.
• 1:26:38
  What is that? They would just blow the shit out
• 1:26:41
  of their asses. Whoa, he's such crazy. Sounds
• 1:26:49
  like, looks like the guys who dropped two fucking
• 1:26:52
  nukes on us. Anyway. So what is it? I don't know.
• 1:26:59
  What is what? What is up with that? And sometimes
• 1:27:01
  you get these characters, you get characters
• 1:27:03
  that are really, really, really Japanese looking,
• 1:27:06
  but they're always like the kind old man in the
• 1:27:10
  convenience store or the dumb idiot who's just
• 1:27:15
  a comet relief. Or, you know, some minor character
• 1:27:19
  in a supporting role or just getting beat on
• 1:27:25
  or getting, you know, getting the butt out of
• 1:27:31
  a joke or something. Always the main character
• 1:27:34
  is all these guys with purple fucking eyes and
• 1:27:37
  just white as fuck. I don't know. Why? Yeah,
• 1:27:41
  I don't know. I was just kind of searching and
• 1:27:44
  I think this is what I read. where i read last
• 1:27:47
  time um highly stylized rather than a ton anatomically
• 1:27:52
  realistic western viewers see a round face and
• 1:27:55
  big eyes and unconsciously register white in
• 1:27:58
  japan where the population is 90 ethnically japanese
• 1:28:01
  the default person in any domestic story is just
• 1:28:03
  assumed to be japanese no matter what they look
• 1:28:05
  like so it's just a cartoon to them this stylistic
• 1:28:11
  borderlessness is referred to as muko muko kuseki
• 1:28:15
  or statelessness okay yeah i think it's just
• 1:28:19
  like because it's a blank canvas it's just a
• 1:28:21
  it's just it's just an animated character yeah
• 1:28:24
  i get what you're saying the big eyes make it
• 1:28:27
  easier to animate expressions emotions yeah and
• 1:28:33
  then um because i think in in the animation i
• 1:28:37
  think in all the animation world like there's
• 1:28:39
  it's a big there's a big issue with like crunch
• 1:28:41
  and people working fucking 15 hours a day to
• 1:28:44
  like get these episodes out and stuff and being
• 1:28:47
  overworked. So I think the simpler drawings,
• 1:28:51
  it's easier to just rush through them. Okay.
• 1:28:54
  I'm looking right now for that anime I told you
• 1:28:58
  I watched as a kid. Ah, Daltanias. Is that, uh,
• 1:29:04
  I watched, they were all subbed, of course, rather.
• 1:29:08
  No, not subbed, dubbed to Spanish, which I gotta
• 1:29:13
  say. I hate, I hate watching anime. Fucking dubbed.
• 1:29:20
  Okay. This is interesting. Okay. It's just not
• 1:29:23
  the same, dude. It's like, what if instead of
• 1:29:26
  listening to me, you hear some dude, you know,
• 1:29:29
  translating everything I say into English. No,
• 1:29:32
  it's not the same. Yeah. I don't, I mean, I,
• 1:29:36
  I like watching sub stuff too, but I watch. A
• 1:29:39
  lot of times I'm looking for a dub because...
• 1:29:43
  You lose like half of a character's personality
• 1:29:45
  in the dub. You know, the voice... Not if the
• 1:29:48
  dub's done good. Well, that's my point. The only
• 1:29:52
  dub I've ever preferred to the actual original
• 1:29:55
  Japanese voice acting is Dragon Ball. Because
• 1:30:00
  the Mexicans did such a good job. Or maybe it's
• 1:30:02
  because I watched it when I was a kid and didn't
• 1:30:04
  know Japanese was a thing. I think especially
• 1:30:09
  in ones where like comedy is a big part of it,
• 1:30:12
  the dub can really help localize it a little
• 1:30:17
  bit. I'm thinking of a newer one. It just finished
• 1:30:20
  its second season called You and I Are Polar
• 1:30:25
  Opposites. And it's a very modern like high school.
• 1:30:28
  The girl talks in a lot of like slang and stuff.
• 1:30:32
  I was like, I bet if it was just Japanese slang
• 1:30:34
  translated over, like it wouldn't. Hit is funnier
• 1:30:38
  as well, but when it's this high -pitched American
• 1:30:43
  lady going, I got against my man or whatever,
• 1:30:45
  it's funny. I guess. I've never actually watched
• 1:30:49
  any dubbed anime. But I do watch subbed. Sometimes
• 1:30:58
  it just, I have to watch subbed when I'm like,
• 1:31:00
  okay, I can fully focus on this and read. If
• 1:31:04
  I might look away or something. then i don't
• 1:31:07
  want to watch it i like hearing the japanese
• 1:31:09
  original voice yeah yeah i don't mind i don't
• 1:31:12
  hate subbed or anything but but i appreciate
• 1:31:14
  a dub and if there is a dub usually that's what
• 1:31:17
  i'll be watching do you think that do you think
• 1:31:20
  it's a struggle or do you think how how weird
• 1:31:22
  do voice actors find it when they you know get
• 1:31:25
  into the booth and they're like okay you're this
• 1:31:27
  character an enemy and then the his lines for
• 1:31:31
  the next four minutes are just Oh, there's a
• 1:31:37
  word for it. Do they solve that as well? That's
• 1:31:41
  such an intricate part of emotional damage inflicted
• 1:31:45
  and, you know, that you get and they receive.
• 1:31:48
  Rather, when a character receives emotional damage
• 1:31:51
  in anime, pretty much the go -to reaction is
• 1:31:55
  just fucking, you know. Anyway, my point is,
• 1:31:59
  I'm going to share my screen again. screen sharing
• 1:32:04
  theme tonight. Jesus. I found out this this is
• 1:32:09
  the anime I watched when I was a kid. Future
• 1:32:12
  Robot Daltanius. Ever heard of that? No. Apparently
• 1:32:21
  it's an anime that aired in 79. It's about this
• 1:32:27
  robot with like a fucking lion in his chest.
• 1:32:31
  And he He was piloted and then he fucking beat
• 1:32:36
  his enemies in his hands. And then whenever the
• 1:32:40
  show was about to end, he bust out his sword
• 1:32:43
  and sliced him up in a cross pattern. And this
• 1:32:51
  is from 79. And you see the characters here?
• 1:32:53
  How many blonde, blue -eyed characters do you
• 1:32:56
  see here? There's a fucking picture. But how
• 1:32:58
  many blonde, blue -eyed characters do you see
• 1:33:01
  here? I mean, no blonde blue eyes, but I very
• 1:33:04
  much see seven white people and a pig. But I
• 1:33:09
  guess this is more in line with, you know, a
• 1:33:12
  character with like nondescript, or rather it
• 1:33:15
  looks closer to what a Japanese person would
• 1:33:18
  look like. Look at this dude. That's his classic
• 1:33:22
  anime character design. That's Link with black
• 1:33:26
  hair. They all had that fucking... unfortunately
• 1:33:30
  on this one I chose not to record video but in
• 1:33:34
  the future we should record the video so we can
• 1:33:36
  add this stuff on the got a fucking hair tongue
• 1:33:39
  here going on or something yeah but you don't
• 1:33:42
  see like blonde blue eyes well yeah because like
• 1:33:49
  you said no one had invented it yet so you think
• 1:33:53
  it's a recent thing I think it is. I mean, I
• 1:33:57
  think as American culture became more and more
• 1:33:59
  prevalent. I never, for the blondness, I actually
• 1:34:04
  never think about it as blonde. I, that very
• 1:34:07
  much is like, I don't know, there's anime people
• 1:34:08
  with fucking blue and pink and green. They got
• 1:34:10
  all kinds of crazy hair. So that one just happens
• 1:34:13
  to be white hair or blonde hair. Hmm. Okay, American.
• 1:34:20
  I guess I can see, I could see how you are not.
• 1:34:25
  you know, in the, uh, sharing my point of view,
• 1:34:30
  but I think there's something to it. I will find
• 1:34:33
  out more anyway. Uh, my original point for this
• 1:34:37
  is, uh, this is a very interesting tidbit of
• 1:34:41
  Japanese culture and what, why is, why is it?
• 1:34:45
  So why are so many blonde blue eyes suddenly
• 1:34:49
  creeping up or appearing in anime from the nineties
• 1:34:52
  onwards? And I think, my friend, we need to go
• 1:34:56
  to the source and find out why. I think Emotional
• 1:35:02
  Damage 100 episode needs to be from Japan. Ah.
• 1:35:07
  And us interviewing anime makers and be like,
• 1:35:11
  what's with the blonde chicks? What's up with
• 1:35:14
  the blonde chicks with big tits? I hate that.
• 1:35:17
  I can't stand it. Big -titted blondes are always
• 1:35:21
  dry. Fucking came into Japan. I thought I was
• 1:35:24
  going to be greeted at the fucking airport with
• 1:35:26
  some girl with purple hair with huge fucking
• 1:35:28
  tits. And it's just some fucking basic bitch.
• 1:35:31
  Seriously? You're misleading me, sir. But what
• 1:35:37
  is that? There's a whole style over there. I
• 1:35:39
  don't know how big it is anymore, but it's girls,
• 1:35:44
  like, trying to look white. Is it Gyaru? kaijin
• 1:35:49
  i have no idea uh japanese style aren't those
• 1:35:54
  that aren't those those girls that kind of like
• 1:35:57
  it eye surgery to like open up their eyelids
• 1:36:01
  yeah they do that shit yeah they do that shit
• 1:36:03
  bleach their hair oh my god no they're not trying
• 1:36:07
  to look white dude they're just trying to look
• 1:36:08
  at their favorite anime character come on i mean
• 1:36:12
  it's got it's it's there's something to it i
• 1:36:15
  mean that's how I think that's why partly you
• 1:36:18
  see anime that's not necessarily based around
• 1:36:22
  Japanese stories anymore. How about that? Have
• 1:36:25
  you ever seen that Vinland Saga anime? That supposedly
• 1:36:29
  is really good. No, but I've heard it's really
• 1:36:34
  good. I watched a few episodes. Yes, I watched
• 1:36:37
  a few episodes. And so it's like a Norse setting.
• 1:36:41
  And you know me, I'm a scholar of Norse. Yeah,
• 1:36:44
  we all know. Stories and all that. But it's just,
• 1:36:47
  I don't think it mixes all that well. Because
• 1:36:52
  you kind of get some, I wouldn't say it's silliness,
• 1:36:55
  anime silliness, because it's not really a silly
• 1:36:58
  anime. But the quirks that are inherent to anime
• 1:37:02
  characters and storylines, it just looks weird.
• 1:37:07
  You know, like you get a Viking dude that's a
• 1:37:10
  really good fighter. And yeah, I can get, I can
• 1:37:14
  understand, right? I can wrap my mind around
• 1:37:16
  a Viking dude that's really good at fucking killing
• 1:37:18
  people. But then you have the guy just jumping,
• 1:37:21
  you know, from ship to ship. You know, they're
• 1:37:23
  in the middle of the fucking ocean. And he's
• 1:37:24
  like, all right, guys, just stay here. Be cool.
• 1:37:28
  I'm going to go fucking destroy these 57 shipsters
• 1:37:32
  surrounding us. Get me a spoon. And so the guy
• 1:37:35
  just fucking jumps from each ship to ship, just
• 1:37:37
  destroying everyone with a spoon or some shit.
• 1:37:42
  And I'm like, it just takes me away from this.
• 1:37:46
  This is supposed to be a Nordic story, but now
• 1:37:51
  I'm like watching Dragon Ball Z. So it's just,
• 1:37:54
  for me, it just, it took me out of the setting
• 1:37:59
  and I just stopped watching it. But you get,
• 1:38:03
  this is an anime and you can have blonde people.
• 1:38:06
  So, because it's not based in, it's not. The
• 1:38:12
  story doesn't unfold in Japan. They're not Japanese
• 1:38:15
  people. They don't have to adhere to Japanese
• 1:38:17
  principles. So it's really interesting that you
• 1:38:20
  get to see that. For me, Vinland Saga didn't
• 1:38:22
  work, but it's a very interesting thing that
• 1:38:24
  now the anime is just rotting up. It's not just
• 1:38:28
  about what's going on or what has been going
• 1:38:30
  on in Japan. It's just about a whole bunch of
• 1:38:33
  other shit. Yeah, that one sounded really interesting
• 1:38:37
  to me. So it's definitely on the... Are you seeing
• 1:38:40
  the screen I'm sharing with you now? No, I'm
• 1:38:42
  sorry. Holy shit. With all these white anime
• 1:38:48
  ladies. All these blonde anime, all these blonde,
• 1:38:53
  not anime ladies, Japanese. They look so bad.
• 1:39:00
  This is awful. That's a whole team of them. God.
• 1:39:05
  It was their big old like southern hair. They
• 1:39:07
  look like. I don't know. They look like lady
• 1:39:10
  boys from Thailand. That's awful. What's up,
• 1:39:17
  black ladies in there? They're not doing it for
• 1:39:20
  you. They don't need your approval. They're not
• 1:39:22
  doing it for... God damn it. They're ugly. Oh,
• 1:39:27
  she works. Even this one? That works. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:39:29
  yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. See, that's your prototypical
• 1:39:39
  Japanese woman right there. Blonde hair, green
• 1:39:44
  eyes, side pony. Mm -hmm. Huge tits. Okay, whatever.
• 1:39:55
  I got to stop looking at this. Kind of getting
• 1:40:00
  off topic there. Yeah. Oh, well, this is... this
• 1:40:06

• 1:40:08
  and really get emotional damage all right so
• 1:40:11

  Yeah, Tora Door is too cute. I'll save that one.
• 1:40:41
  There's a short film called Five Centimeters
• 1:40:45
  Per Second. Whoa. I think it's like an hour long
• 1:40:48
  or something. Misleading. But it's a very emotional
• 1:40:55
  story. Oh my God. But you don't even realize
• 1:40:59
  it until the... Yeah, it's the story of two people
• 1:41:03
  told through, like, it focuses on three phases
• 1:41:06
  of their life and how things change and stuff.
• 1:41:08
  Yeah. It's 2007. I didn't realize it was that
• 1:41:12
  old. Five centimeters per second. Yeah. Wait.
• 1:41:17
  No. Have I seen this? Or is it just the poster

• 1:41:49
  the season series review. What are we doing for
• 1:41:53
  the watch -along or the review? You really want
• 1:41:59
  to do Dragon Ball? Yeah, we could do that. Or.
• 1:42:03
  Or. Let's Google. What is a hot new anime. Oh,
• 1:42:09
  like a newer one? Yeah. Happening right now.
• 1:42:14
  First result. Come on. Frequent. Mushoku Tensei
• 1:42:19
  Season 3. Jobless Reincarnation 3. Behind the
• 1:42:24
  supermarket. I'm surprised. Do you smoke with
• 1:42:25
  that pet? Do that one. What's it called? Behind
• 1:42:32
  a supermarket, you smoke with that pet. Oh, wow.
• 1:42:36
  I've never heard that translation. Well, it's
• 1:42:38
  Google, dude. Okay, the first result is Mushoku
• 1:42:40
  Tensei, Jobless Reincarnation 3. That's surprising.
• 1:42:46
  I could have sworn it Free Run was going to be
• 1:42:48
  the first one. That's huge right now. Pretty
• 1:42:49
  intense, that sounds like. Then you got Re Zero,
• 1:42:54
  Season 4. Jesus Christ. And then you got Behind
• 1:42:58
  a Supermarket, you smoke with that pet. What
• 1:43:00
  the hell's going on with the Nicaraguan internet?
• 1:43:03
  Is it having a stroke? I will have you know I
• 1:43:07
  have my preferences in Chrome set to the English
• 1:43:11
  language. I literally googled behind the supermarket
• 1:43:16
  you smoke with that pet and nothing came up.
• 1:43:19
  It's all smoky behind the supermarket. Look at
• 1:43:22
  it. I'm highlighting it right now. Behind the
• 1:43:24
  supermarket you smoke with that pet. Office worker
• 1:43:33
  named Sasaki who shares smoke breaks behind a
• 1:43:36
  grocery store with a cashier who has a secret
• 1:43:38
  identity and a friendly stray dog. What? You
• 1:43:45
  smoke with that pet? Is it on Netflix? I don't
• 1:43:50
  think it's... I haven't finished... I haven't
• 1:43:52
  actually started watching the anime. I was reading
• 1:43:54
  the manga. I haven't met a dog yet. Dude. You're
• 1:43:59
  fucking way behind. So I wonder if it's, I don't
• 1:44:02
  think it's on Nicaragua Netflix. Let's do behind
• 1:44:09
  the supermarket. I googled it. It doesn't exist.
• 1:44:11
  I want you to google behind the supermarket you
• 1:44:13
  smoke with that pet. Dude, I'm telling you. You
• 1:44:17
  want to see the fucking trailer right now? I
• 1:44:19
  think it's the same one. I don't know about the
• 1:44:23
  name, but yeah, look, it's the same one, dude.
• 1:44:26
  I will share my screen. God, I'm on fire with
• 1:44:29
  the fucking screen sharing, dude. Look at that.
• 1:44:32
  Isn't that, that's it. And that's the thing.
• 1:44:35
  Well, you just gotta, you gotta be on everything.
• 1:44:36
  Yeah. We're going to be putting clips on fucking
• 1:44:39
  TikTok. Yeah, dude. Before you know it, we're
• 1:44:43
  going to be in fucking cigarette boxes. No, it
• 1:44:49
  doesn't work like that anymore. Yeah. More smokes.
• 1:44:52
  We gotta, we gotta get ourselves a night in Japan.
• 1:44:55
  Yes. Our big, our mugs in fucking Shinjuku on
• 1:45:01
  a big old screen. So Japanese people kind of
• 1:45:03
  learn some English. English. What if we sweep
• 1:45:09
  Japan by storm? Everyone's fascinated by our
• 1:45:15
  weak knowledge of Japanese culture. Our absolute
• 1:45:19
  lack of understanding of anime. What the fuck
• 1:45:22
  are these guys on about? What? Smoking behind
• 1:45:27
  the supermarket. All right. Let's do that. Okay.
• 1:45:30
  So we're both going to watch Smoking Behind the
• 1:45:32
  Supermarket. With your pet. With you or with
• 1:45:34
  the pet? With or without the pet. Come on. All
• 1:45:39
  right. Cool. Okay. And I wonder if those will
• 1:45:42
  be, maybe that'll be two different episodes.
• 1:45:45
  We'll do an episode where we talk about what
• 1:45:46
  we watched. We can't watch more or less than
• 1:45:49
  the other person because otherwise we're not
• 1:45:51
  going to spoil it for each other. We're just
• 1:45:53
  going to. If we decide, we've got to decide right
• 1:45:56
  now. Are we going to watch five episodes? No
• 1:45:59
  more or less. We're going to watch three? How
• 1:46:03
  many episodes are even out? Okay, good question.
• 1:46:05
  Let's find out. On average, how much would you
• 1:46:09
  say it takes? How long do you give an anime before
• 1:46:11
  you're like, yeah, 10 minutes? Okay. I try watching
• 1:46:18
  Spy. I think that was the only exception. Spy
• 1:46:21
  Family. Oh yeah. I watched like three or four
• 1:46:25
  episodes and then they get to an episode where
• 1:46:27
  they're in the castle and they get drunk and
• 1:46:30
  it just got way too silly. And I was like, what
• 1:46:32
  the fuck am I doing here? But usually I can,
• 1:46:35
  I will like something enough to watch it or just
• 1:46:38
  not be interested in like first 10 minutes. I
• 1:46:44
  mean, I get a lot of, I feed off on a lot of
• 1:46:47
  the visual stuff on the character design. the
• 1:46:51
  general setting and if it doesn't vibe it's just
• 1:46:54
  an immediate thing for me what about you are
• 1:46:57
  you more forgiving uh yeah i'll usually give
• 1:47:02
  it i mean i i'm there has there's definitely
• 1:47:05
  some stuff where i'm like yeah this is this i
• 1:47:07
  just know this isn't gonna catch me but then
• 1:47:09
  there's some stuff that's more like i'll go watch
• 1:47:11
  it a little bit uh there's lots of stuff where
• 1:47:15
  it's like i really like it where i seem to like
• 1:47:18
  it when i'm first watching and i watch a few
• 1:47:20
  episodes i'm like yeah that was good and then
• 1:47:21
  i'll forget all about it and i'll never go back
• 1:47:23
  and watch more which means it probably wasn't
• 1:47:25
  that special oh anime dude it's just been released
• 1:47:30
  looks like nine episodes nine episodes we can
• 1:47:36
  definitely do five fives i think five's probably
• 1:47:39
  pretty good all right an hour solid hour and
• 1:47:43
  then we'll do the next we'll do the next five
• 1:47:44
  after that that's not a solid hour it's more
• 1:47:47
  sorry about that uh yeah what no i said if i
• 1:47:51
  had a solid hour and i was like no it's not it's
• 1:47:54
  a bit more i think yeah a little bit not that
• 1:47:57
  much really what are they 22 minutes each probably
• 1:48:00
  somewhere around that yeah and then we'll I think
• 1:48:07
  we get two episodes. We do one episode talking
• 1:48:09
  about our homework, and then we'll do an episode
• 1:48:11
  talking about the first five episodes of smoking.
• 1:48:14
  Sure. Yeah. Looking forward to it. I'm going
• 1:48:20
  to end the recording now. So, yeah, you all know
• 1:48:24
  your homework. You guys have to watch both. Oh,
• 1:48:28
  no. Yeah, otherwise you can't follow along. Now.
• 1:48:35
  Where to watch? What if people don't know where
• 1:48:37
  to watch? 5 centimeters per second. What's that?
• 1:48:40
  What if people don't know where to watch? Because
• 1:48:43
  a lot of, one of the main, I don't know if the
• 1:48:47
  main right today, but one of the barriers I encountered
• 1:48:52
  with anime is that where do I watch it? I mean,
• 1:48:54
  it's not like, it wasn't very popular content.
• 1:48:56
  I started watching. Yeah. I mean, there's obviously
• 1:49:01
  Crunchyroll is the big one now. They got most
• 1:49:04
  everything. I know 5 centimeters per second.
• 1:49:07
  I think it's on HBO right now. Really? Yeah.
• 1:49:11
  Well, the frigging behind the supermarket smoking
• 1:49:13
  with the pet, I think it's on Netflix. That's
• 1:49:16
  on Netflix, yeah. I guess it's on Netflix. I
• 1:49:21
  think I saw something about Netflix. Yeah. I
• 1:49:24
  mean, I don't know what this pet one is. Dude,
• 1:49:28
  I'm telling you, that's the name with that pet.
• 1:49:35
  But yeah, I think it's on Netflix. Yeah, so that's
• 1:49:40
  on Netflix. Yeah, that's on Netflix. The other
• 1:49:43
  one is on HBO. I've tried High Dive is another
• 1:49:48
  one. That's got like a bunch of kind of more
• 1:49:50
  racy animes and stuff. I didn't stay subscribed,
• 1:49:54
  but there's some funny stuff on there. All right.
• 1:49:59
  I get ads for it on Facebook all the time. Jesus.
• 1:50:03
  And every once in a while I'll be searching for
• 1:50:04
  I want to watch an anime. I find an anime I want
• 1:50:06
  to watch or add to my list and it'll be like,
• 1:50:08
  oh, it's only available on HiDive or whatever.
• 1:50:11
  And that makes me question like, what the fuck
• 1:50:12
  kind of anime am I looking up? HiAndive? HiAndive?
• 1:50:17
  HiDive. Oh, HiDive. I'm sorry. Yeah. You better
• 1:50:21
  be. All right. Well, until next time, everybody.
• 1:50:27
  Okay. Stay... Sundere. Sundere. Stay animated.
• 1:50:36
  I don't... Stay damaged. No, what was it? Stay
• 1:50:38
  damaged? Stay damaged. No, dude, that sounds
• 1:50:42
  fucking corny as shit. But we definitely got
• 1:50:44
  to find a new, like... I mean, Stay Metal was
• 1:50:47
  corny, but people... I don't know if people loved
• 1:50:50
  it. I liked it. I thought it was fun. It worked.
• 1:50:52
  I came across on YouTube. I can't... I see her
• 1:50:56
  channel every once in a while. It's someone who
• 1:50:58
  like talks about metal music or whatever, but
• 1:51:00
  part of her background, there's like one of those
• 1:51:02
  things where you can change the letters on it
• 1:51:04
  and it says stay metal on it. And I always wonder,
• 1:51:07
  like, I wonder if she used to listen to the fucking
• 1:51:08
  show. I do think, or rather would like to believe
• 1:51:13
  that we are some sort of cult classic waiting
• 1:51:16
  to emerge. Oh, yes. Thinking like. You know,
• 1:51:21
  50 years. I mean, until very recently, we would
• 1:51:25
  still get messages on Facebook going like, are
• 1:51:28
  you guys going to record another episode? Yeah.
• 1:51:31
  Yeah. And we said, yeah. Yeah, sure. We're going
• 1:51:35
  to do a fucking reunion. Hey, guess what, dudes?
• 1:51:39
  You like anime? Fuck. You got to get into anime
• 1:51:43
  now. Fuck. We're back. With some romance anime
• 1:51:49
  suggestions. Hell yeah. And between headbanging,
• 1:51:56
  I just like to watch my favorite romantic comedy.
• 1:52:01
  Japanese animation. It takes place in a high
• 1:52:03
  school, motherfuckers. Yes. High schoolers falling
• 1:52:08
  in love, living by themselves. Hell yeah. Second
• 1:52:11
  run. Back at it. All right. We'll see y 'all
• 1:52:18
  next time. Yeah, we got to figure something out.
• 1:52:20
  All right.
