on the show, but 12 00:00:27,065 --> 00:00:28,710 here we are, we're finally covering it. 13 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:31,385 We're going to break it up into two episodes, um, and today 14 00:00:31,405

with anthony, and joining us, as always, is Rich. 17 00:00:44,634 --> 00:00:46,195 Speaker 3: Really excited this week, guys. 18 00:00:46,195 --> 00:00:53,131 But before we talk about this jazzy riff on anime, what have 19 00:00:53,152 --> 00:00:54,154 you guys been up to this week? 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,667 Speaker 1: Ooh, what have I been up to? 21 00:00:56,667 --> 00:00:58,686 Anthony, go ahead, you start. 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,945 Speaker 2: What have I been up to, man? 23 00:00:59,945 --> 00:01:02,619 Nothing, really Like. 24 00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:05,930 Honestly, I don't think I've had anything really crazy going 25 00:01:06,111 --> 00:01:10,308 on, really just like catching up and watching well, watching 26 00:01:10,429 --> 00:01:13,040 anime, you know, watching this for the episode. 27 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,329 But at the moment my brain like I feel like there might be 28 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:17,870 something. 29 00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:21,805 I mean, I always do this, I forget, and then like I might, 30 00:01:21,844 --> 00:01:25,692 and then I remember, like later on in the episode yeah hence 31 00:01:25,712 --> 00:01:27,322 like, what was it like when I went to go? 32 00:01:27,825 --> 00:01:30,837 oh, you had asked me if I'd seen the minecraft movie, but I 33 00:01:30,858 --> 00:01:33,322 never mentioned it in the beginning of, like that episode 34 00:01:33,364 --> 00:01:39,454 right, yeah, yeah yeah, um, but yeah, I, I I haven't seen 35 00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:40,001 anything like. 36 00:01:40,001 --> 00:01:43,055 I haven't gone to go see thunderbolts or what else is out 37 00:01:43,055 --> 00:01:44,881 right now that people are talking about. 38 00:01:44,881 --> 00:01:46,444 I feel like there's something else. 39 00:01:47,105 --> 00:01:51,212 No, dakota, don't do it okay, okay, you're back all righty 40 00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:56,048 sorry, but yeah so scary no, no, you're good, but yeah, so yeah, 41 00:01:56,048 --> 00:01:58,974 I think I'll pass it back to to Rich. 42 00:01:58,974 --> 00:02:01,885 You know we're playing a game of catch a game of catch and 43 00:02:01,926 --> 00:02:02,186 I've been. 44 00:02:02,346 --> 00:02:04,430 Speaker 3: What I've been doing is catching a lot of met games, 45 00:02:04,912 --> 00:02:06,061 uh, and being upset. 46 00:02:06,061 --> 00:02:09,652 You know, uh, we went to play the yankees this weekend, uh, 47 00:02:09,794 --> 00:02:14,506 big series and uh fell flat on our faces you got one game in 48 00:02:14,887 --> 00:02:17,612 yeah, we got one game in, so there's another three coming 49 00:02:17,652 --> 00:02:17,953 back. 50 00:02:18,441 --> 00:02:21,586 Uh, in july, the uh, the mets are playing a little bit of 51 00:02:21,627 --> 00:02:22,729 gamesmanship here. 52 00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:30,540 The day before the Yankees come to town, they're giving out 53 00:02:30,561 --> 00:02:32,205 15,000 free Juan Soto replica jerseys so that hopefully, those 54 00:02:32,205 --> 00:02:35,644 fans will don those over the weekend, the next three days 55 00:02:35,743 --> 00:02:36,768 when the Yankees come to town. 56 00:02:36,768 --> 00:02:42,621 Also, in a very petty move, the Mets have a mascot race and so 57 00:02:42,661 --> 00:02:46,371 far this season, there are mascots representing each 58 00:02:46,431 --> 00:02:46,752 borough. 59 00:02:46,752 --> 00:02:50,132 Right, so you have, uh, the staten island ferry for staten 60 00:02:50,171 --> 00:02:53,703 island, a skyscraper for manhattan, a slice of pizza for 61 00:02:53,742 --> 00:02:57,912 brooklyn, a subway for queens and a giraffe representing the 62 00:02:57,931 --> 00:02:59,260 bronx zoo for the bronx. 63 00:02:59,260 --> 00:03:01,688 However, the giraffe has yet to win. 64 00:03:02,169 --> 00:03:03,955 Uh, is, it is almost comical. 65 00:03:03,955 --> 00:03:06,806 At this point, it has zero victories, and I think that, uh, 66 00:03:06,806 --> 00:03:09,778 I'm not sure if they're waiting for the yankees to show up and 67 00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:13,807 maybe give the bronx victory or just continually having the 68 00:03:13,848 --> 00:03:14,650 bronx lose. 69 00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:19,768 And if that's the case, I I really hope somehow the mets 70 00:03:19,828 --> 00:03:20,649 owners is involved. 71 00:03:20,649 --> 00:03:23,950 The mets ownership is involved in this, like steve cohen said, 72 00:03:24,274 --> 00:03:26,182 yeah, yeah, we should definitely have mascot races. 73 00:03:26,182 --> 00:03:28,669 Oh, five bros, I'd love that, but we should have the bronx 74 00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,532 lose every time. 75 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,747 Speaker 1: Like I just like the idea I do like, I do like the. 76 00:03:32,747 --> 00:03:35,300 I haven't seen the mascots yet, so I don't actually know what 77 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,108 you're talking about, but I do like the idea that you know the 78 00:03:38,168 --> 00:03:43,747 mets, uh, would have their own little fantasy about the Yankees 79 00:03:43,747 --> 00:03:44,629 losing regularly. 80 00:03:50,525 --> 00:03:52,814 Speaker 2: I you know, and then, and then you know the. 81 00:03:52,835 --> 00:03:55,081 Speaker 1: Red Sox have just been letting the Mets know I did 82 00:03:55,081 --> 00:03:55,483 actually. 83 00:03:55,483 --> 00:03:59,401 I watched some of the subway series this this past weekend. 84 00:03:59,401 --> 00:04:02,670 It was actually quite a few really good games. 85 00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:05,168 I think both teams really did well. 86 00:04:05,168 --> 00:04:07,847 Just one team did a little bit better. 87 00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:10,941 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean, look at the end of the day, the 88 00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:15,127 only reason I want the Mets to win really was just to rub it in 89 00:04:15,127 --> 00:04:16,190 people's faces at work. 90 00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:19,730 That's really all I wanted to do and actually all that ended 91 00:04:19,769 --> 00:04:21,139 up happening was it backfired? 92 00:04:21,139 --> 00:04:24,069 Because I'll just leave it at this. 93 00:04:24,069 --> 00:04:27,060 My passion seems to ignite in others. 94 00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:33,694 Uh, the, the, the equal, the equal passion to to denigrate 95 00:04:33,714 --> 00:04:34,797 what I'm passionate about. 96 00:04:34,797 --> 00:04:36,843 I don't know what it is, I, I don't know. 97 00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:37,764 I think it's my. 98 00:04:37,985 --> 00:04:40,730 My zeal for what I love somehow inspire. 99 00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:44,267 Like it's not just anthony here on the show, all right, rooting 100 00:04:44,267 --> 00:04:46,822 for every team that the mets are playing against, when I 101 00:04:47,004 --> 00:04:50,271 don't think he watched baseball, like, looked at scores for like 102 00:04:50,271 --> 00:04:51,663 years before this. 103 00:04:51,663 --> 00:04:55,911 I've joined and I've got a mentor, a mentee that I work 104 00:04:55,951 --> 00:04:59,321 with, who, who has now learned every single player in the mets 105 00:04:59,822 --> 00:05:03,283 just so that she can watch the replays and then talk trash 106 00:05:03,343 --> 00:05:04,946 about them with me the next day. 107 00:05:04,946 --> 00:05:10,870 So I don't really understand it , but I'm still excited. 108 00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:12,071 It's still early in the season. 109 00:05:12,071 --> 00:05:13,512 I got a couple. 110 00:05:13,512 --> 00:05:14,892 I got three games this weekend. 111 00:05:14,892 --> 00:05:15,973 They got some good giveaways. 112 00:05:15,973 --> 00:05:19,196 I got a bobblehead in there, fireworks night, which is always 113 00:05:19,196 --> 00:05:20,596 my wife's favorite night of the year. 114 00:05:20,596 --> 00:05:26,423 So I think we're going to turn it around, or or I'm gonna be 115 00:05:26,442 --> 00:05:27,867 really depressed next week, like next week, if we lose these 116 00:05:27,906 --> 00:05:28,949 three games to the dodgers. 117 00:05:29,211 --> 00:05:32,307 Speaker 2: I uh, I might go into a downward spiral guys I will 118 00:05:32,326 --> 00:05:35,302 say that baseball does have some like pretty cool nights, like, 119 00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:38,829 uh, every once in a while like you might hear of like a 120 00:05:38,889 --> 00:05:42,384 basketball team or even like football do like a night. 121 00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:46,074 But it seems like baseball has a lot like. 122 00:05:46,074 --> 00:05:50,711 Um, I know the marlins recently had like a nurse night and the 123 00:05:50,752 --> 00:05:52,961 reason why I knew about that is because I have a friend that's a 124 00:05:52,961 --> 00:05:56,709 nurse and they were like like man, like I never knew about 125 00:05:56,730 --> 00:05:59,523 that, like my job, never said anything, but I think that 126 00:05:59,562 --> 00:05:59,963 that's cool. 127 00:05:59,963 --> 00:06:02,148 Yeah, I know there's like star Wars Nights. 128 00:06:02,309 --> 00:06:05,153 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think every team does Star Wars Nights 129 00:06:05,153 --> 00:06:05,153 . 130 00:06:05,153 --> 00:06:09,980 I think it's just like a sport-wide phenomenon. 131 00:06:10,139 --> 00:06:11,603 Speaker 3: I think the only thing that doesn't do it 132 00:06:11,783 --> 00:06:13,487 honestly is football. 133 00:06:13,487 --> 00:06:15,091 No, I don't think so. 134 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,745 Speaker 2: I think football is too short. 135 00:06:16,899 --> 00:06:17,925 Speaker 1: Football does do it. 136 00:06:17,925 --> 00:06:20,449 I know soccer does it. 137 00:06:20,449 --> 00:06:25,889 I have a bobblehead somewhere of one one of the jet players. 138 00:06:25,889 --> 00:06:31,024 One of the jets players in a yankee, or in a yankee, um, in a 139 00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:34,892 jedi outfit oh so I definitely got that from a game was it? 140 00:06:35,093 --> 00:06:35,694 Speaker 3: uh, was it? 141 00:06:35,694 --> 00:06:36,521 Was it brett? 142 00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:41,351 Was it um aaron rogers, in the form of qui-gon jinn, because he 143 00:06:41,351 --> 00:06:43,182 gets injured and dies right away. 144 00:06:43,201 --> 00:06:44,343 Speaker 1: I know it wasn't. 145 00:06:44,343 --> 00:06:45,005 I don I. 146 00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:45,987 No, it wasn't Aaron. 147 00:06:45,987 --> 00:06:46,850 I don't know who it was. 148 00:06:46,850 --> 00:06:49,725 It wasn't Aaron Rodgers, though , but yeah, no, it was from like 149 00:06:49,725 --> 00:06:51,706 five years ago or six years ago , something like that. 150 00:06:51,706 --> 00:06:56,745 But yeah, they definitely do it for football, but I think it's 151 00:06:56,925 --> 00:07:01,882 very regular for, like you, just look at the schedule they do it 152 00:07:01,882 --> 00:07:04,906 like a couple of times a month where they have giveaways, you 153 00:07:04,946 --> 00:07:07,805 know, in uh and mlb stuff. 154 00:07:07,805 --> 00:07:10,336 So that's, I think that's pretty cool, but rich. 155 00:07:10,336 --> 00:07:10,918 Look at it this way. 156 00:07:10,918 --> 00:07:14,528 You know, for the longest time, they were saying that, uh, the 157 00:07:14,608 --> 00:07:16,394 mlb is a dying sport. 158 00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:22,168 Your, your passion is causing, you know, the vitriol of others 159 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:23,992 to get involved in the sport. 160 00:07:23,992 --> 00:07:28,043 Thus, you know, elevating the sport to new heights, you know 161 00:07:28,324 --> 00:07:31,875 in its own roundabout way rich alone is keeping it alive. 162 00:07:32,937 --> 00:07:34,846 Speaker 3: I get major league baseball should pay me money 163 00:07:34,886 --> 00:07:37,740 because they get more clicks on their videos, because people 164 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:40,750 want to get stuff to be able to talk trash to me about. 165 00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:43,923 I mean, that's it, that's it, yeah absolutely I. 166 00:07:44,024 --> 00:07:46,762 Speaker 2: I literally went online to download a thumbnail 167 00:07:46,802 --> 00:07:50,209 to put on my zoom background, just to mess around with you. 168 00:07:50,228 --> 00:07:55,425 Speaker 3: Yes, I was like what I like how. 169 00:07:55,444 --> 00:07:58,209 Speaker 2: Like when dakota noticed, he immediately just 170 00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:01,141 like started smirking and had to point it out yeah, I didn't 171 00:08:01,161 --> 00:08:01,882 even see the. 172 00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:03,708 Speaker 1: I didn't even see the red socks logo. 173 00:08:03,708 --> 00:08:08,470 I just saw, like the colors of, uh, like the circular outline 174 00:08:08,509 --> 00:08:09,795 of the logo behind anthony's head. 175 00:08:09,795 --> 00:08:10,899 It was, it was a beautiful moment. 176 00:08:10,899 --> 00:08:14,728 Yeah, it was, and you know, anthony actually does have some 177 00:08:14,809 --> 00:08:16,151 boston background in him. 178 00:08:16,211 --> 00:08:20,146 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's not, it's not completely out of 179 00:08:20,187 --> 00:08:24,367 left gear yeah, here's, yeah, yeah, like I mean men right with 180 00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:24,851 preston. 181 00:08:25,014 --> 00:08:26,521 Speaker 3: You were part of the minute, man with preston. 182 00:08:26,742 --> 00:08:29,567 Speaker 2: I remember fallout 4 yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess 183 00:08:29,608 --> 00:08:33,663 technically we, we all, all of us who played fallout 4, were 184 00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:40,519 minute men anthony also threw uh tea into a river I did only the 185 00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:45,591 flavors I didn't like oh man, um, what have you been up to 186 00:08:45,631 --> 00:08:45,812 Rich? 187 00:08:46,821 --> 00:08:51,111 Speaker 3: Just finished the hardest, probably part of time 188 00:08:51,152 --> 00:08:52,996 of the year for me at work. 189 00:08:52,996 --> 00:08:54,059 I run testing. 190 00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:58,950 So it's basically like I have to be quiet and proctor for two 191 00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:01,094 and a half weeks, which is not my skill set. 192 00:09:01,094 --> 00:09:04,609 So I'm happy to be able to be my loud, loud, boisterous self 193 00:09:04,668 --> 00:09:07,582 at work again and not have to be , uh, quiet and composed 194 00:09:08,284 --> 00:09:11,250 excellent yeah, I actually have a tough like couple weeks at 195 00:09:11,311 --> 00:09:12,432 work for myself. 196 00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:15,966 Speaker 2: My the bank that I work for is about to go through 197 00:09:15,986 --> 00:09:19,519 a merger, and so we've been going through all these like 198 00:09:19,581 --> 00:09:22,827 game plans on like putting people in place, because we know 199 00:09:22,827 --> 00:09:25,400 that a bunch of like all like all the people from this new 200 00:09:25,441 --> 00:09:27,544 bank are going to start just calling in like crazy. 201 00:09:27,544 --> 00:09:33,024 So, yeah, like they've been kind of bolstering up the ranks 202 00:09:33,244 --> 00:09:37,452 and so they have like the regular like workers that are 203 00:09:37,472 --> 00:09:40,044 going to like stay around, but then they also got a whole bunch 204 00:09:40,044 --> 00:09:42,549 of contractors to help us out. 205 00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:45,342 So, yeah, man, it's, I'm. 206 00:09:45,342 --> 00:09:47,561 I've already been getting some calls from this like new bank 207 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:55,614 and I'm like, oh man I have a weird work thing going on too. 208 00:09:55,953 --> 00:09:57,923 Speaker 1: Ever since I've been back at work for the past couple 209 00:09:57,923 --> 00:10:01,552 weeks, it's been kind of weird because I'm with a company that 210 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:06,250 that I know dislikes me, and it's a long, long story. 211 00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:07,653 So I'm a union electrician. 212 00:10:07,653 --> 00:10:11,105 What that means is I get put onto a list. 213 00:10:11,105 --> 00:10:16,761 When I'm out of work and whenever a shop needs someone of 214 00:10:16,761 --> 00:10:22,150 my skill set, they will take the top three or four guys from 215 00:10:22,171 --> 00:10:25,827 the list and when I get to the top, I get pulled to join that 216 00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:26,160 company. 217 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,710 So the company I'm with now laid me off in 2019 after I made 218 00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:35,101 uh, them lose probably like half a million dollars. 219 00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:39,312 The reason okay, they didn't, it wasn't their money, that's 220 00:10:39,331 --> 00:10:39,633 the thing. 221 00:10:39,633 --> 00:10:40,282 They stole it. 222 00:10:40,282 --> 00:10:43,168 So I I just brought it to the attention of the union. 223 00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:46,999 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they were like undercutting you guys right 224 00:10:46,999 --> 00:10:46,999 . 225 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,903 Speaker 1: Yeah, so depending on the job like if it's a public 226 00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:54,648 works job, like a government funded job, state funded 227 00:10:54,687 --> 00:11:02,236 sometimes that qualifies the job as a prevailing wage job when 228 00:11:02,277 --> 00:11:04,419 it comes to construction. 229 00:11:04,419 --> 00:11:08,486 So when I first started, I was making like bare minimum, like 230 00:11:08,586 --> 00:11:09,549 $13 an hour. 231 00:11:09,549 --> 00:11:11,417 This was back in like 2018, 2019. 232 00:11:11,417 --> 00:11:14,153 I was making nothing but I should have been making the top 233 00:11:14,234 --> 00:11:15,760 rate because it was prevailing wage. 234 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,195 I was working at a job for three months that I shouldn't 235 00:11:19,215 --> 00:11:21,642 have been at because you know they're supposed to be hiring 236 00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:24,587 like top rated employeesrated employees for those jobs. 237 00:11:24,587 --> 00:11:27,974 But they were taking all the money that I should have been 238 00:11:27,994 --> 00:11:32,590 making, which is upwards of $55 an hour, and just giving me the 239 00:11:32,649 --> 00:11:33,572 $13 an hour. 240 00:11:33,572 --> 00:11:35,908 So they were just skimming a whole bunch off the top. 241 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,070 And I realized this after a little while that hey, I'm 242 00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:43,950 working at a school, this should be a public works job. 243 00:11:43,950 --> 00:11:44,552 So I brought it to my union. 244 00:11:44,552 --> 00:11:46,278 Turns out this should be public , a public works job, um, so I 245 00:11:46,298 --> 00:11:47,061 brought it to my union. 246 00:11:47,061 --> 00:11:50,190 It turns out, yeah, um, I was owed a lot of money, so they 247 00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:51,259 they did have to pay me back. 248 00:11:51,259 --> 00:11:55,971 It was not like a crazy amount For me, it was at the time it 249 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:56,793 was 10 grand. 250 00:11:56,793 --> 00:11:59,041 You know like that's the most money I'd ever seen in my life. 251 00:11:59,701 --> 00:12:02,743 Speaker 2: Uh, I mean, dude, that's 10 grand that you didn't 252 00:12:02,783 --> 00:12:03,102 have. 253 00:12:03,163 --> 00:12:06,684 Speaker 1: So I mean, that's true 10 grand is 10 grand. 254 00:12:07,465 --> 00:12:09,405 Speaker 2: That was your money that you worked hard for. 255 00:12:09,846 --> 00:12:11,607 Speaker 1: They, the union, the union like audited them, 256 00:12:11,628 --> 00:12:13,708 basically asked for all of their hours for all of their 257 00:12:13,729 --> 00:12:15,590 employees that could have possibly fit this bill of them 258 00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:16,470 being like cheated on. 259 00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:36,826 And they probably some people like estimate it's like 260 00:12:36,846 --> 00:12:39,149 somewhere between three and five hundred thousand dollars that 261 00:12:39,169 --> 00:12:42,274 they have to pay back over the course of three years of back 262 00:12:42,315 --> 00:12:42,495 pay. 263 00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:45,647 But it was not their money to begin with, so they I got I. 264 00:12:45,647 --> 00:12:49,797 After that, um, I was like one of the first to be laid off from 265 00:12:49,797 --> 00:12:53,831 that job and I didn't expect to ever see them again, like I 266 00:12:53,871 --> 00:12:55,961 didn't expect I thought I was blacklisted, honestly like I. 267 00:12:57,364 --> 00:13:00,269 But I got the call a couple of weeks ago like hey, you're going 268 00:13:00,269 --> 00:13:01,773 back to this job site. 269 00:13:01,773 --> 00:13:06,863 I was like, are you serious? 270 00:13:06,863 --> 00:13:07,083 Is a joke. 271 00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,370 Um, and now the owner of the company, whenever he walks into 272 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:09,394 the, you know like, uh, look at all the work. 273 00:13:09,394 --> 00:13:12,465 He says hi to everybody, except for me, maybe he just doesn't 274 00:13:12,504 --> 00:13:12,684 remember. 275 00:13:12,706 --> 00:13:15,552 Speaker 2: He's like, oh, you're that guy, you're a good worker, 276 00:13:15,552 --> 00:13:16,942 but dang, you're that guy. 277 00:13:17,442 --> 00:13:20,028 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm that guy so , all right, that was a long 278 00:13:20,068 --> 00:13:24,947 story, um, where I did the right thing, got laid off and, uh, 279 00:13:25,006 --> 00:13:29,004 now I'm back to rub it in their face that's actually hilarious, 280 00:13:29,044 --> 00:13:32,331 though, is like have you been working with them for a while 281 00:13:32,392 --> 00:13:32,631 now? 282 00:13:32,773 --> 00:13:35,187 Speaker 2: or, like you, you finish because I remember you 283 00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:36,773 had just started up a job. 284 00:13:36,773 --> 00:13:39,602 Like a month ago did you finish up with them, and then now 285 00:13:39,643 --> 00:13:42,309 you're with some new people no, no, no, I that it's, it's the 286 00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:42,831 same job. 287 00:13:42,932 --> 00:13:46,571 Speaker 1: I came back to it like end of april, um, and I've 288 00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:49,707 been there for about probably close to a month at this point. 289 00:13:49,707 --> 00:13:52,301 But yeah, it's, it's been the same company, it's just. 290 00:13:52,301 --> 00:13:55,403 I'm just like now like coming to grips with like how awkward 291 00:13:55,443 --> 00:14:00,759 it is because like there's so much of just turning a blind eye 292 00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:03,230 to me, specifically when it comes to upper management. 293 00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:06,851 Everyone else is fine with me, so I don't have a problem, I 294 00:14:06,871 --> 00:14:07,453 just do my job. 295 00:14:08,326 --> 00:14:11,245 Speaker 3: You should shave your beard and just start speaking 296 00:14:11,566 --> 00:14:15,400 with the mid-Atlantic accent from the 1950s. 297 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,447 What kind of voltage you got to go in here, man, and then see 298 00:14:21,489 --> 00:14:23,999 if management just gets confused and thinks you're somebody else 299 00:14:23,999 --> 00:14:27,006 yeah, it's not like the announcer from legend of korra 300 00:14:27,827 --> 00:14:33,375 yeah, on today's episode of going to work. 301 00:14:34,118 --> 00:14:37,488 Speaker 1: But, yeah, otherwise, other than that I, as far as 302 00:14:37,508 --> 00:14:40,535 like what I've been up to this past week not a whole lot I've 303 00:14:40,556 --> 00:14:43,894 been doing I I've continued to plug away at my scripts. 304 00:14:43,894 --> 00:14:46,443 So I'm just, I think I'm just gonna keep giving you like 305 00:14:46,484 --> 00:14:47,769 little updates to my script. 306 00:14:47,769 --> 00:14:50,942 Um, anyone who listens and like cares at all, I'm just gonna 307 00:14:51,003 --> 00:14:54,455 you'll, you'll hear a little bit how I've you know how I've 308 00:14:54,475 --> 00:14:55,337 gotten a little bit further. 309 00:14:55,337 --> 00:15:01,054 So I am now well into the era of kiyoshi and and I am starting 310 00:15:01,054 --> 00:15:02,138 up her first novel. 311 00:15:02,138 --> 00:15:04,953 I should be starting that up tomorrow. 312 00:15:05,767 --> 00:15:08,826 So that's the next section, the next chunk of the timeline that 313 00:15:08,846 --> 00:15:10,010 I'm going to be tackling. 314 00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:14,412 But, yeah, upwards of I think it's like 20,000 words into the 315 00:15:14,452 --> 00:15:18,350 script, well over an hour long now it's probably closer to like 316 00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:21,172 an hour 20, hour 25 at this point. 317 00:15:21,172 --> 00:15:25,230 It's going to be a really heavy video and, again, like kiyoshi 318 00:15:25,712 --> 00:15:28,782 is still like pretty early in the timeline. 319 00:15:28,782 --> 00:15:31,168 So I'm kind of nervous about like how long this is actually 320 00:15:31,187 --> 00:15:31,488 going to be. 321 00:15:31,488 --> 00:15:35,618 But I'm also excited because, like, I've done a lot of 322 00:15:35,664 --> 00:15:40,191 research online and I think this is definitely going to be by 323 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:46,798 far the most comprehensive fan timeline or any timeline that's 324 00:15:46,839 --> 00:15:48,561 ever been attempted for this series. 325 00:15:48,561 --> 00:15:49,890 So I'm excited about that. 326 00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:54,854 But other than that, just watching Cowboy Bebop I'm 327 00:15:54,894 --> 00:15:59,389 excited to jump into that in a little bit and I don't really 328 00:15:59,429 --> 00:16:01,134 have a lot else going on. 329 00:16:01,134 --> 00:16:03,145 Anything else that you guys want to bring up. 330 00:16:03,405 --> 00:16:06,032 Speaker 3: They did just announce it's the thing is 331 00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:07,134 avatar news. 332 00:16:07,173 --> 00:16:11,149 Speaker 1: They announced, uh, who they casted for yes, they, 333 00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:15,557 they did, uh, they they announced some avatar uh live 334 00:16:15,658 --> 00:16:21,111 action news um for season two, and some of the names are are 335 00:16:21,152 --> 00:16:22,277 pretty, pretty big. 336 00:16:22,277 --> 00:16:25,427 You probably won't recognize the names off the top of your 337 00:16:25,488 --> 00:16:28,976 head, um, but if you see some of their faces, you will recognize 338 00:16:28,976 --> 00:16:30,229 a lot of the people that they hired. 339 00:16:30,229 --> 00:16:32,176 Um, uh, and it's. 340 00:16:32,176 --> 00:16:36,248 It's looking like they hired the right people and I'm hoping 341 00:16:36,928 --> 00:16:37,971 it's better than season one. 342 00:16:37,971 --> 00:16:40,255 Basically, basically. 343 00:16:40,275 --> 00:16:48,201 The best tweet I saw was like they cast Ditchin Lockman for 344 00:16:48,623 --> 00:16:53,784 Avatar Yangchen in Avatar the Last Airbender, season two and 345 00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:57,230 someone cool tweeted that and said goaded casting in what will 346 00:16:57,230 --> 00:17:01,567 undoubtedly be a bad season of television and I love that. 347 00:17:01,567 --> 00:17:02,801 It's really fun and it's television and I love that it's. 348 00:17:02,801 --> 00:17:04,186 It's really fun and it's probably true. 349 00:17:04,186 --> 00:17:08,416 I I hope it's not, but the first season was just really 350 00:17:08,637 --> 00:17:08,999 okay. 351 00:17:09,298 --> 00:17:11,450 Speaker 2: it was just really okay and avatar should be, 352 00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:16,804 exceptional, you know yeah, yeah , they have yet to be able to 353 00:17:16,844 --> 00:17:20,553 capture the magic of avatar live action. 354 00:17:20,553 --> 00:17:22,457 You know, like they did. 355 00:17:22,457 --> 00:17:27,248 You know they did do a lot better as far as, like, the look 356 00:17:27,248 --> 00:17:31,135 of the actual bending as compared to, like you know, that 357 00:17:31,135 --> 00:17:35,210 abysmal movie, but it's still. 358 00:17:35,210 --> 00:17:37,353 You know, we'll see the. 359 00:17:37,353 --> 00:17:40,578 Honestly, the thing that surprised me the most and we 360 00:17:40,618 --> 00:17:45,088 have an episode on that was, um, how well they did the live 361 00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:48,520 action one piece and you know we're gonna be getting that 362 00:17:48,602 --> 00:17:52,013 second season very soon I'm excited about that, very excited 363 00:17:52,013 --> 00:17:53,259 about the one piece season. 364 00:17:53,278 --> 00:17:56,288 Speaker 1: Two guys, should we jump into some anime? 365 00:17:56,548 --> 00:17:59,435 Speaker 2: yes, we should, um, so I'm not sure. 366 00:17:59,435 --> 00:18:00,479 What was this? 367 00:18:00,479 --> 00:18:02,042 Your first time seeing it, dakota? 368 00:18:02,042 --> 00:18:03,747 Have you seen cowboy bebop before? 369 00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:08,076 Speaker 1: um, so I I have never finished the first season, or 370 00:18:08,155 --> 00:18:10,347 it's a, I think it's only one season but I've never finished 371 00:18:10,367 --> 00:18:14,416 one season like a movie I've never seen the entirety of the 372 00:18:14,477 --> 00:18:20,209 season, but I I had watched most of the episodes that we watched 373 00:18:20,209 --> 00:18:23,731 in this sitting, so I think I had seen the first eight 374 00:18:23,791 --> 00:18:29,316 episodes previously and I didn't realize I had made it that far 375 00:18:29,395 --> 00:18:29,736 into it. 376 00:18:30,176 --> 00:18:33,078 But I was like, oh yeah, this is the last episode that we 377 00:18:33,118 --> 00:18:35,641 watched, and then I would start the next one up and I'd be like, 378 00:18:35,641 --> 00:18:37,662 oh yeah, no, I watched this one too. 379 00:18:37,662 --> 00:18:43,528 And then eventually, like around episode nine it was like 380 00:18:43,608 --> 00:18:45,634 a completely new episode and I was like okay, all right, this 381 00:18:45,653 --> 00:18:46,355 is actually a new episode for me . 382 00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:46,656 Speaker 2: Nice, nice, yeah. 383 00:18:46,656 --> 00:18:49,971 Like I want to know what you both think about it, because I 384 00:18:49,991 --> 00:18:52,326 mean I've told you that this is like one of my like tops. 385 00:18:52,326 --> 00:18:55,512 Like you know, this is like one of my favorites as far as like 386 00:18:55,532 --> 00:18:59,669 the old schools, along with, you know, neon, genesis, evangelion 387 00:18:59,669 --> 00:19:00,631 and yasha. 388 00:19:00,631 --> 00:19:04,807 So I really want to like know, like, what you guys think about 389 00:19:04,866 --> 00:19:04,926 it. 390 00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:06,352 I mean especially rich. 391 00:19:06,352 --> 00:19:08,318 Rich is not the you know I. 392 00:19:08,318 --> 00:19:11,628 I mean, would you consider yourself like a huge anime fan? 393 00:19:11,648 --> 00:19:15,457 I know that you like you know, some naruto but you probably 394 00:19:15,537 --> 00:19:19,551 don't dive too deep into it no, and I know that dakota is, but 395 00:19:19,612 --> 00:19:20,354 he just doesn't. 396 00:19:20,453 --> 00:19:23,567 Speaker 3: He doesn't watch it as much as he'd like I mean I 397 00:19:23,606 --> 00:19:26,733 would, I would at comic-con, I would avoid, uh, I would 398 00:19:26,794 --> 00:19:30,008 literally like instruct my family, we would uh avoid all 399 00:19:30,048 --> 00:19:30,930 the anime section. 400 00:19:30,930 --> 00:19:34,416 Uh, I, I had no interest, I didn't want to waste anyone's 401 00:19:34,458 --> 00:19:34,758 time. 402 00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:40,693 It wasn't until charlie got into naruto and I mean I, I, I 403 00:19:40,753 --> 00:19:41,173 fought it. 404 00:19:41,173 --> 00:19:44,058 I was like, no, I'm not doing it, I, I just wouldn't. 405 00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:48,856 They they watched it completely through and I just uh, you know 406 00:19:48,856 --> 00:19:52,166 then then then it became a family demand where I was kind 407 00:19:52,207 --> 00:19:56,416 of forced into it and then I I watched it to uh annoy them. 408 00:19:56,416 --> 00:19:57,018 I mean I would. 409 00:19:58,146 --> 00:20:01,012 There's this one guy who makes the clay birds or something. 410 00:20:01,012 --> 00:20:04,205 I hate him so much I can't remember his name. 411 00:20:04,205 --> 00:20:09,557 Uh, and I I started like hate watching it, almost I know, or 412 00:20:09,596 --> 00:20:13,095 like at least like watching it just to see like certain 413 00:20:13,135 --> 00:20:13,878 characters die. 414 00:20:13,878 --> 00:20:15,625 Like I was just like I hoped it , I was like, does this 415 00:20:15,666 --> 00:20:16,611 character ever die? 416 00:20:16,611 --> 00:20:19,221 And charlie would say, yeah, in 100 episodes or so. 417 00:20:19,221 --> 00:20:22,585 I'm like, okay, I'm strapped in for this one, like at least 418 00:20:22,645 --> 00:20:23,426 until he dies. 419 00:20:23,426 --> 00:20:27,296 So you guys have definitely encouraged me to watch more 420 00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:31,951 stuff and I've come into it with um more of an open mind. 421 00:20:31,951 --> 00:20:35,338 I mean, other than, like you know I'd watch Dragon Ball Z in 422 00:20:35,358 --> 00:20:38,637 the morning before school when I was like in high school but I 423 00:20:38,657 --> 00:20:40,545 don't know if that that isn't for me. 424 00:20:40,566 --> 00:20:41,086 That was just. 425 00:20:41,086 --> 00:20:44,355 I needed a moving image on the screen while I I mean, there was 426 00:20:44,355 --> 00:20:48,790 that was anime you know like we probably we didn't call it that 427 00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:48,790 . 428 00:20:48,932 --> 00:20:49,713 Speaker 1: We didn't call it that. 429 00:20:49,753 --> 00:20:50,836 Speaker 3: Well, see, okay. 430 00:20:50,836 --> 00:21:00,516 So then see, like a lot of times when so like Pokemon I 431 00:21:00,556 --> 00:21:03,500 mean I was crazy about, but that's because I wanted to catch 432 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:07,273 them all, so you know, I mean we, I mean most of us didn't 433 00:21:07,354 --> 00:21:08,195 consider anime. 434 00:21:08,525 --> 00:21:10,913 Speaker 2: Honestly, we didn't even consider Dragon Ball Z 435 00:21:11,134 --> 00:21:11,375 anime. 436 00:21:11,375 --> 00:21:13,673 We all thought it was just a different type of cartoon. 437 00:21:13,673 --> 00:21:18,036 But I mean, honestly, it's, it's animation and it's from 438 00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:19,126 Japan, so it's anime, same with. 439 00:21:19,126 --> 00:21:20,913 Yu-gi-oh, yu-gi-oh, it's animation and it's from Japan, 440 00:21:20,932 --> 00:21:21,255 so it's anime. 441 00:21:21,255 --> 00:21:26,046 Same with Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh, it's all the same, it's just. 442 00:21:26,046 --> 00:21:28,914 Some are a little bit more catered to the younger audience. 443 00:21:28,914 --> 00:21:32,012 Obviously, Cowboy Bebop is not oh yeah, totally different. 444 00:21:33,386 --> 00:21:38,407 This is for a little bit more of a refined taste and the story 445 00:21:38,449 --> 00:21:43,063 is definitely not one that that, um, you know, might grab a lot 446 00:21:43,103 --> 00:21:44,866 of like younger kids. 447 00:21:44,866 --> 00:21:46,550 But like what grabbed me? 448 00:21:46,550 --> 00:21:47,992 Because I, I mean, I had seen it. 449 00:21:47,992 --> 00:21:52,166 It came out in 1998 but I didn't see it until like a few 450 00:21:52,247 --> 00:21:56,253 years, a few years later, when it came out on toonami in like 451 00:21:56,755 --> 00:22:02,151 01 and so, like you know, I was like what, nine going on ten 452 00:22:02,191 --> 00:22:02,853 around that time. 453 00:22:02,853 --> 00:22:08,631 So, and like you know, I'm watching this and you know what, 454 00:22:08,631 --> 00:22:12,959 what really like got me was like I really liked the music of 455 00:22:12,959 --> 00:22:15,169 it and it had some really good action. 456 00:22:15,169 --> 00:22:16,271 Like that's what got me too. 457 00:22:16,271 --> 00:22:18,606 It was like, oh man, like there's, you know, fighting, 458 00:22:18,646 --> 00:22:20,592 they're shooting, you know this. 459 00:22:20,592 --> 00:22:24,829 So I mean, obviously, and then catching like some really late 460 00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:28,458 night inu wash, like falling asleep with the tv on, and like 461 00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:31,653 inuyasha like being on so rich? 462 00:22:31,752 --> 00:22:32,034 Speaker 1: what did? 463 00:22:32,034 --> 00:22:36,605 What did you think of what you saw, or at least, what were your 464 00:22:36,605 --> 00:22:38,951 thoughts, at least from the first couple episodes? 465 00:22:38,951 --> 00:22:41,910 Going into cowboy biva, because you cut you, you did come in 466 00:22:41,984 --> 00:22:45,459 cold, you know, like you didn't know what you were gearing up 467 00:22:45,538 --> 00:22:45,759 for. 468 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:47,547 But like, what were your thoughts early on? 469 00:22:48,107 --> 00:22:49,653 Speaker 3: so I won't lie, okay. 470 00:22:49,653 --> 00:22:53,044 So first of all, I was talking to anthony about this before we 471 00:22:53,064 --> 00:22:53,946 started recording. 472 00:22:53,946 --> 00:22:59,240 I accidentally pressed the sub uh version of it on disney right 473 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,303 and then I. 474 00:23:00,303 --> 00:23:03,526 I just wasn't paying attention so I didn't even realize that 475 00:23:03,547 --> 00:23:06,594 there was a dub at first, so I watched the first episode. 476 00:23:07,075 --> 00:23:09,968 I don't I don't really watch a lot of stuff with subtitles I 477 00:23:10,148 --> 00:23:13,596 yeah I forced my wife to do that when we watch like shows in 478 00:23:13,616 --> 00:23:16,914 spanish, but most of the time she wants to watch them and then 479 00:23:16,914 --> 00:23:18,559 you know she's okay with it. 480 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:20,646 Uh, I don't really like doing it. 481 00:23:20,646 --> 00:23:23,295 I don't find it to be a really enjoyable experience. 482 00:23:23,295 --> 00:23:27,296 So the first episode, I had no idea what I'm going into, right, 483 00:23:27,296 --> 00:23:28,529 I have like I don't know. 484 00:23:28,529 --> 00:23:32,053 I mean, when I heard Bebop I thought of Bebop and Rocksteady 485 00:23:32,093 --> 00:23:33,336 from the Ninja Turtles. 486 00:23:33,336 --> 00:23:35,471 So I mean, I had no clue. 487 00:23:36,886 --> 00:23:41,357 The intro has like that stylized , almost noir feel. 488 00:23:41,357 --> 00:23:44,717 I know that there's a part that says like New York City or like 489 00:23:44,717 --> 00:23:46,704 1941, right. 490 00:23:46,704 --> 00:23:48,268 So I'm like looking at that. 491 00:23:48,268 --> 00:23:52,196 But then it starts and we're in space and I'm trying to get my 492 00:23:52,237 --> 00:23:52,678 bearings. 493 00:23:52,678 --> 00:23:56,015 You know, I'm like real, I'm just real confused, all right. 494 00:23:56,015 --> 00:23:59,991 And then I think I watched halfway through the second 495 00:24:00,031 --> 00:24:03,578 episode the same way, just kind of a little lost. 496 00:24:03,884 --> 00:24:06,708 There's a part of me that almost feels like the structuring of 497 00:24:06,768 --> 00:24:10,672 the season could have been, because it starts off like to me 498 00:24:10,672 --> 00:24:15,277 like very hey, this is another week of a kind of I don't want 499 00:24:15,297 --> 00:24:19,060 to call it a police procedural, but like just kind of it almost 500 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,688 seemed like it was going to be oh, this is the. 501 00:24:21,688 --> 00:24:23,893 You know, we have a bounty hunter and we're going to get 502 00:24:23,952 --> 00:24:27,036 the, the bounty of the week, right, like I thought that that 503 00:24:27,056 --> 00:24:29,951 was going to be the structure and then suddenly it kind of 504 00:24:30,011 --> 00:24:30,914 deviates from that. 505 00:24:30,914 --> 00:24:34,092 And when it deviated from that, I think it's in Honky Tonk 506 00:24:34,112 --> 00:24:35,896 Women, when Faye comes on. 507 00:24:35,896 --> 00:24:41,594 Yeah, Once Faye came on, I, I started, for for me it started 508 00:24:41,614 --> 00:24:43,917 to pick up traction, like I, I really. 509 00:24:43,917 --> 00:24:47,290 And then by the end of this arc that we're going to talk about 510 00:24:47,310 --> 00:24:50,506 today, the 13 episodes, uh, first I thought that the last 511 00:24:50,526 --> 00:24:54,398 two episodes almost felt like a season finale to uh, like it did 512 00:24:54,398 --> 00:24:54,398 . 513 00:24:54,439 --> 00:24:55,964 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know there's a couple. 514 00:24:55,964 --> 00:24:59,693 There's a couple uh moment or there's a couple points in this 515 00:25:00,455 --> 00:25:04,265 uh, first 13 episodes that I felt um season finale. 516 00:25:04,265 --> 00:25:08,993 Ask like there's the episode where it's just like, uh, it's, 517 00:25:09,214 --> 00:25:13,228 it's a bottle episode on the on their spaceship the beep up and 518 00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:18,218 there's like some alien goo crawling around and it doesn't 519 00:25:18,258 --> 00:25:21,251 really ever explain like how they all survived. 520 00:25:21,432 --> 00:25:24,108 It's just it feels like the end of the show, like it just feels 521 00:25:24,169 --> 00:25:25,753 like that should have been the last episode. 522 00:25:25,753 --> 00:25:28,470 You know, like I thought these guys are dead. 523 00:25:29,010 --> 00:25:31,756 Speaker 3: Yeah I mean, it just ends like it ends very 524 00:25:31,856 --> 00:25:34,349 beautifully, with that refrigerator floating through 525 00:25:34,411 --> 00:25:35,955 space with his leftover. 526 00:25:35,955 --> 00:25:38,905 Uh, was it lobster that he had gotten and left? 527 00:25:38,945 --> 00:25:40,369 in the fridge for way too long. 528 00:25:40,369 --> 00:25:43,868 It seemed like a this could have been pulled, like it could 529 00:25:43,888 --> 00:25:46,336 have almost been like an office episode, right like it's like 530 00:25:46,384 --> 00:25:47,587 the horror version. 531 00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:52,277 But I really I think that that episode in particular, that's 532 00:25:52,297 --> 00:25:56,997 when it started to hit me that a lot of them are done in a style 533 00:25:56,997 --> 00:26:00,406 right like this was like that horror style, right like that. 534 00:26:00,527 --> 00:26:02,073 You know yeah something on the ship. 535 00:26:02,073 --> 00:26:04,451 You know like we've seen hundreds of versions of that 536 00:26:04,510 --> 00:26:07,066 story, you know, but it's still good and you know they did it 537 00:26:07,105 --> 00:26:10,193 really well, they did and they did it in it in its, in its own 538 00:26:10,273 --> 00:26:10,515 way. 539 00:26:10,515 --> 00:26:14,434 But still like, very clearly, this episode style is different 540 00:26:14,494 --> 00:26:16,701 from the next episode or the one before it. 541 00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:19,868 Speaker 1: That episode was really unique to me because, um, 542 00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:24,376 I was listening to that one on my headphones like my AirPods 543 00:26:25,057 --> 00:26:30,353 while I was going to work and I was noticing little sound cues 544 00:26:30,874 --> 00:26:33,898 that I don't think I would have picked up on my TV. 545 00:26:33,898 --> 00:26:38,968 And at first, when the episode starts, they almost give you a 546 00:26:39,028 --> 00:26:40,808 captain's log from Star Trek. 547 00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:42,750 They almost give you like a captain's log from Star Trek. 548 00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:45,813 You know they give a date and then I think they do say 549 00:26:45,853 --> 00:26:48,535 something like captain's log or something like that. 550 00:26:49,414 --> 00:26:55,400 And it was very much James T Kirk-esque Star Trek. 551 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,603 I really thought that that was a fun play on it. 552 00:26:59,603 --> 00:27:05,230 And then it jumped into almost like an alien movie. 553 00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:07,278 You like like you know, really, scott's alien. 554 00:27:07,278 --> 00:27:09,003 And so I was like, okay, they're doing that now. 555 00:27:09,003 --> 00:27:10,207 All right, that's, that's interesting. 556 00:27:10,907 --> 00:27:14,916 And then in, you know, like, when they're going into the back 557 00:27:14,916 --> 00:27:18,169 of the ship and they're like starting to investigate, like 558 00:27:18,548 --> 00:27:20,772 the, the deeper parts of the ship and where they find the old 559 00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:25,839 fridge and all that, um, where the rock lobster was, they, you 560 00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,747 actually hear like the like some sound effects that are from 561 00:27:29,846 --> 00:27:30,368 star trek. 562 00:27:30,368 --> 00:27:34,162 Um, it's like the, the beeping in the control room, like the 563 00:27:34,221 --> 00:27:37,869 beep, beep, beep, and it's specifically like the, the 564 00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:40,674 tricorder sound effect and it's like, oh, that's kind of cool. 565 00:27:40,674 --> 00:27:46,049 So I like that they pull influences into this show and 566 00:27:46,069 --> 00:27:49,096 sometimes it's very clear when the influences are pulled. 567 00:27:49,096 --> 00:27:53,032 But I feel like there's so much that they've pulled for like 568 00:27:53,133 --> 00:27:56,488 the, the aesthetic and the feel of this show, that it's 569 00:27:56,887 --> 00:27:59,894 sometimes like hard to differentiate like what exactly 570 00:27:59,933 --> 00:28:04,426 is uh, being, I guess, maybe not riffed on, but um, influenced 571 00:28:04,487 --> 00:28:04,728 by um. 572 00:28:04,728 --> 00:28:11,157 But for me, like the, the intro gives me, uh, like james bond 573 00:28:11,459 --> 00:28:11,818 vibes. 574 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,471 You know, like the james bond movies always have that like 575 00:28:15,571 --> 00:28:19,868 really stylistic uh song in the beginning of the film where, um, 576 00:28:19,868 --> 00:28:22,384 it's a bunch of silhouettes and I don't know, but it's never 577 00:28:22,424 --> 00:28:23,426 really that jazzy. 578 00:28:23,426 --> 00:28:29,977 But uh, this is a a very jazzy show yeah it, it really is. 579 00:28:30,657 --> 00:28:34,490 Speaker 2: I mean, and and the cool thing is is that you know, 580 00:28:34,509 --> 00:28:38,117 with the title of, like cowboy bebop, I mean, you go to, like, 581 00:28:38,397 --> 00:28:41,851 you know, figure out why it's called cowboy bebopbop, because 582 00:28:41,891 --> 00:28:43,594 you know they're bounty hunters, but they call the bounty 583 00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:49,386 hunters cowboys and the ship is called Bebop, but the intro of 584 00:28:49,467 --> 00:28:56,535 the actual show is in that style of, and that style jazz Bebop. 585 00:28:56,535 --> 00:28:57,996 You know it's. 586 00:28:57,996 --> 00:29:02,260 It's really cool that I don't and I don't know if you noticed 587 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:06,757 that, like I would say, most of the episodes are like musically, 588 00:29:06,757 --> 00:29:08,984 they're named after like a, they have like a musical 589 00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:09,665 influence. 590 00:29:10,347 --> 00:29:12,332 Speaker 1: Like you know, there's like heavy metal queen 591 00:29:12,893 --> 00:29:17,406 like the honky tonk one I did actually like look up one 592 00:29:17,487 --> 00:29:20,349 particular I think I actually it was the, the episode that I was 593 00:29:20,349 --> 00:29:21,111 just talking about. 594 00:29:21,111 --> 00:29:25,957 Hold on, let me just look up a list of episodes for cowboy 595 00:29:25,997 --> 00:29:34,153 bebop, because I I feel like the episode names are based on like 596 00:29:34,153 --> 00:29:38,740 actual songs, like so when I looked up, uh it's, it's called 597 00:29:39,185 --> 00:29:43,155 toys in the attic, which is the one with the, the space creature 598 00:29:43,155 --> 00:29:47,656 that was on their ship that's right yeah, it's an aerosmith, 599 00:29:47,876 --> 00:29:50,163 aerosmith album yeah, their first album. 600 00:29:50,223 --> 00:29:54,454 Speaker 3: I believe that's the one with uh dream on yes, so I? 601 00:29:55,176 --> 00:29:57,122 Speaker 1: I don't know for sure , but I'm pretty. 602 00:29:57,122 --> 00:30:00,150 Oh, bohemian rhapsody is the next episode, uh, that we have 603 00:30:00,190 --> 00:30:03,967 not watched yet so it's very clear that, like they named the 604 00:30:04,007 --> 00:30:07,075 episodes after songs or albums or other musical influences. 605 00:30:07,075 --> 00:30:11,049 Honky-tonk woman yeah, that's, yeah, so definitely yeah, I 606 00:30:11,069 --> 00:30:12,172 thought that was really cool. 607 00:30:13,094 --> 00:30:15,464 Speaker 2: Um, dakota, as somebody that, like you know, 608 00:30:15,505 --> 00:30:20,597 kind of grew up in that, you know that early era of of, like 609 00:30:20,617 --> 00:30:23,684 you know, anime with, like you know, toonami and dragon ball z 610 00:30:23,724 --> 00:30:29,535 and stuff spike his, his voice actor, steve bloom, did he sound 611 00:30:29,535 --> 00:30:30,596 familiar to you? 612 00:30:30,596 --> 00:30:35,749 He did and I couldn't pinpoint it um, he also does the voice of 613 00:30:35,749 --> 00:30:41,076 tom for toonami no, he does a lot of voices, but he does do 614 00:30:41,096 --> 00:30:42,118 tom and toonami. 615 00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: You're right. 616 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,054 Yeah, it's really cool because, it's an iconic voice in 617 00:30:48,074 --> 00:30:50,798 Speaker 2: the back kind of very similar to, uh, chris sabat. 618 00:30:51,105 --> 00:30:53,835 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the back of my head I kept thinking like 619 00:30:54,375 --> 00:30:58,009 he's got such a laid-back voice and I just I don't know why I 620 00:30:58,048 --> 00:31:00,618 keep thinking about this guy, like you know, just lazing 621 00:31:00,659 --> 00:31:04,210 around and you know speaking, but that's exactly what tom did 622 00:31:05,133 --> 00:31:09,144 and the tsunami like intros and uh stuff so that's cool and it's 623 00:31:09,144 --> 00:31:09,445 so. 624 00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:12,776 Speaker 2: It and his voice like pairs up so well with, like the 625 00:31:12,776 --> 00:31:16,105 demeanor of spike and it's like like it's like. 626 00:31:16,105 --> 00:31:19,873 It's like the voice actor and the actual like character, like 627 00:31:19,972 --> 00:31:23,787 lineup, like almost perfectly, or at least he emulates that. 628 00:31:23,946 --> 00:31:26,231 Speaker 1: So like perfectly so I want to. 629 00:31:26,231 --> 00:31:30,106 I want to also like, uh, just briefly touch on the fact that 630 00:31:30,528 --> 00:31:33,654 this show, you know, like barring, whether you like it or 631 00:31:33,694 --> 00:31:36,868 not, this show is clearly very influential for for stuff that 632 00:31:36,888 --> 00:31:41,240 has happened after the fact and and the most blatant influence 633 00:31:41,883 --> 00:31:45,933 on popular culture that Cowboy Bebop has had, at least from my 634 00:31:46,055 --> 00:31:49,273 perspective, from an outsider looking into the show. 635 00:31:49,273 --> 00:31:56,090 You know, 26, 27 years later, firefly Firefly has to be based 636 00:31:56,151 --> 00:31:56,392 on this. 637 00:31:56,392 --> 00:32:00,955 The influences are so bizarrely similar. 638 00:32:00,955 --> 00:32:07,097 The crew makeup is, uh, very, very similar, including um 639 00:32:07,726 --> 00:32:11,272 edward, uh, he, almost, or I don't know if edward's a he or a 640 00:32:11,272 --> 00:32:11,452 she. 641 00:32:11,452 --> 00:32:15,968 I think that edward is a she, but um edward is basically the 642 00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:17,150 exact same character. 643 00:32:17,150 --> 00:32:20,233 That river was in firefly. 644 00:32:20,855 --> 00:32:26,144 Um, you know how, like the, the savant girl in in firefly, yeah 645 00:32:26,683 --> 00:32:29,734 exactly the same and I started like thinking about other like 646 00:32:30,438 --> 00:32:33,207 other stuff that it might have influenced, and I think it might 647 00:32:33,207 --> 00:32:36,074 have influenced the lineup or the character design of the 648 00:32:36,115 --> 00:32:36,576 gorillas. 649 00:32:36,576 --> 00:32:39,911 You know, there's the, there's a big gorilla, there's the main 650 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:41,434 singer gorilla, which is spike. 651 00:32:41,434 --> 00:32:43,179 There's the big gorilla, there's the main singer gorilla, 652 00:32:43,179 --> 00:32:44,782 which is Spike, there's the female gorilla and then there's 653 00:32:44,843 --> 00:32:45,865 the tiny nerdy gorilla. 654 00:32:45,865 --> 00:32:52,055 I was just like this show definitely changed the way 655 00:32:52,115 --> 00:32:54,759 people looked at certain aesthetics. 656 00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:55,728 I like that. 657 00:32:55,728 --> 00:32:56,571 I think it's pretty cool. 658 00:32:57,306 --> 00:33:00,951 Speaker 2: The thing I like about Cowboy Bebop is that you 659 00:33:00,971 --> 00:33:05,058 can obviously, like you know, pin it to it being, you know, a 660 00:33:05,118 --> 00:33:09,830 part of that time, but the characters, their design, is 661 00:33:10,532 --> 00:33:14,058 different than the animation that was around it back then. 662 00:33:14,058 --> 00:33:19,174 Like Dragon Ball Z had like that very like, kind of you know 663 00:33:19,174 --> 00:33:20,679 , 90s, look to it. 664 00:33:20,679 --> 00:33:22,722 Sailor Moon also had that same look. 665 00:33:22,722 --> 00:33:25,108 They were very similar cowboy bebop. 666 00:33:25,108 --> 00:33:28,616 You know, while some of the character designs are very 667 00:33:28,656 --> 00:33:33,094 similar to that time, the main characters don't look that much, 668 00:33:33,094 --> 00:33:37,085 or they don't look too much, like an, like a 90s anime 669 00:33:37,265 --> 00:33:37,665 character. 670 00:33:37,705 --> 00:33:39,729 Speaker 1: Like they look, you know, they look beyond that, 671 00:33:39,749 --> 00:33:43,094 they look different and that's probably why it was so 672 00:33:43,234 --> 00:33:45,838 influential, because they're like, wow, you know, like this, 673 00:33:45,979 --> 00:33:48,990 this animation looks great I wonder how long it took them to 674 00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:53,067 make this show, because I'm I'm watching just the, you know, 675 00:33:53,166 --> 00:33:57,115 establishing shots for, like between scenes, I'm I'm looking 676 00:33:57,175 --> 00:34:02,252 at like the care that they took to animate like ships and flight 677 00:34:02,252 --> 00:34:06,690 , the stars in the backgrounds and just the little flourishes 678 00:34:06,730 --> 00:34:09,456 that they give certain scenes that they didn't need to. 679 00:34:09,456 --> 00:34:13,496 There's a lot of extra that this show layers on top of each 680 00:34:13,556 --> 00:34:16,429 other and I wonder how long it took them to make this season, 681 00:34:16,489 --> 00:34:20,599 because you could tell they put a lot of time and money into it. 682 00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:22,864 It looks very expensive. 683 00:34:23,586 --> 00:34:26,192 Speaker 3: one thing to anime go ahead one thing I noticed about 684 00:34:26,192 --> 00:34:29,947 that and you know what I think one of the things I don't like 685 00:34:30,507 --> 00:34:36,157 about some anime, like, say, no, just the reusing a lot of the 686 00:34:36,197 --> 00:34:40,291 same kind of shots right to kind of get around yeah, like the uh 687 00:34:40,291 --> 00:34:42,416 , the flying through the trees. 688 00:34:42,536 --> 00:34:45,429 I just can't anymore with that. 689 00:34:45,429 --> 00:34:51,001 But anyway, so I, I couldn't find, and now, mind you, I, you 690 00:34:51,041 --> 00:34:53,327 know, I I did one watch through. 691 00:34:53,327 --> 00:34:55,981 I didn't do my, my normal two or three, like I do before. 692 00:34:55,981 --> 00:34:57,346 I usually watch something with you guys. 693 00:34:57,346 --> 00:35:02,114 Sure, yeah, but I didn't rich, I didn't recognize anything 694 00:35:02,215 --> 00:35:04,759 really being used more than once . 695 00:35:04,759 --> 00:35:09,914 Like they don't have like a stock attack, you know frame 696 00:35:09,954 --> 00:35:11,516 that they layer in there. 697 00:35:11,516 --> 00:35:14,949 Like there's no, because, speaking to what you just said, 698 00:35:14,989 --> 00:35:17,376 like there's no laziness in the animation. 699 00:35:17,376 --> 00:35:23,360 It's like everything is really done painstakingly accurately 700 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,389 and with much attention to detail and look like look how 701 00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:32,038 nice the like hand-to-hand combat looks like it's so. 702 00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:36,012 Speaker 2: it's animated so good , like it's amazing, like you 703 00:35:36,072 --> 00:35:40,849 know, dakota, this is why I've been like trying to get us to to 704 00:35:40,849 --> 00:35:42,052 cover this for so long. 705 00:35:42,052 --> 00:35:45,452 It's so good, I mean, the story is good, but there's so much to 706 00:35:45,452 --> 00:35:45,634 it. 707 00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:49,856 Speaker 1: And also the musical choices that they intersperse 708 00:35:50,005 --> 00:35:50,626 Occasionally. 709 00:35:50,626 --> 00:35:52,434 It'll be like an action scene. 710 00:35:52,434 --> 00:35:57,597 It'll be two ships chasing each other through the canyons of 711 00:35:57,657 --> 00:36:00,764 some city, but there's this beautiful melody playing in the 712 00:36:00,710 --> 00:36:01,152 background onons of some city. 713 00:36:01,152 --> 00:36:01,414 Yeah, it's, it's like. 714 00:36:01,414 --> 00:36:02,320 But like, there's like this beautiful melody playing in the 715 00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:06,601 background on top of this and it just completely throws you off 716 00:36:06,641 --> 00:36:06,842 guard. 717 00:36:06,842 --> 00:36:10,172 But you're in, you're just glued to the screen because it's 718 00:36:10,172 --> 00:36:15,085 such a juxtaposition of um intense action and like just 719 00:36:15,164 --> 00:36:15,806 beautiful melody. 720 00:36:15,806 --> 00:36:20,878 The the first time that I, I, you know, I, I recognized that 721 00:36:20,958 --> 00:36:24,005 this is a well-crafted, beautiful show from episode one. 722 00:36:24,005 --> 00:36:28,315 You know it's it's hard not to look at this and be like, okay, 723 00:36:28,335 --> 00:36:29,077 I see what they're doing here. 724 00:36:29,077 --> 00:36:32,994 This is like high art in terms of, you know, anime, as far as 725 00:36:33,034 --> 00:36:36,608 anime goes but, it wasn't until the episode um, let me look at 726 00:36:36,668 --> 00:36:38,510 the list of episodes again. 727 00:36:39,251 --> 00:36:45,601 Uh, ballad of fallen angels, where spike faces off against um 728 00:36:45,601 --> 00:36:50,251 vicious, and it's a character that we didn't really know prior 729 00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:55,186 to this point, but he has some, you know, intense history with. 730 00:36:55,186 --> 00:37:00,275 He gets shot or pushed out of that like stained glass window 731 00:37:00,614 --> 00:37:04,250 and it's just a slow motion for like two minutes of a song 732 00:37:04,309 --> 00:37:06,617 playing, as his memories, you know, overlap. 733 00:37:06,617 --> 00:37:09,788 And it's just like that's the moment when I first watched this 734 00:37:09,788 --> 00:37:13,356 , like a year, a couple years ago, at this point, that I was 735 00:37:13,376 --> 00:37:17,295 just like, oh, this is something really special, this is 736 00:37:17,356 --> 00:37:20,445 something that is like just I don't even understand what's 737 00:37:20,545 --> 00:37:23,905 happening, but I can tell that this is a beautiful moment and 738 00:37:23,945 --> 00:37:25,784 whoever made this was a genius, you know. 739 00:37:25,784 --> 00:37:29,914 Like that's that's the level of respect that that particular 740 00:37:29,974 --> 00:37:31,177 scene garnered for. 741 00:37:31,177 --> 00:37:35,492 Like, with me, rich, I don't think you've you've said whether 742 00:37:35,492 --> 00:37:38,550 you like it or not at this point and you know, if you 743 00:37:38,570 --> 00:37:39,373 didn't like it, it's fine. 744 00:37:39,373 --> 00:37:43,786 But like, what are your overall opinions now that you have seen 745 00:37:43,786 --> 00:37:44,849 the first 13 episodes? 746 00:37:44,849 --> 00:37:46,393 Like, did you have that aha moment? 747 00:37:46,432 --> 00:37:51,070 Speaker 3: like I did, yeah I think maybe all right so that I 748 00:37:51,110 --> 00:37:52,614 can remember seeing that scene. 749 00:37:52,614 --> 00:37:54,947 And I'm glad you said I don't know what's going on, because 750 00:37:55,166 --> 00:37:58,414 there's a part of me that was like, uh, what's going on? 751 00:37:59,257 --> 00:38:01,831 Speaker 1: uh, you know there's a lot of that, even even up to 752 00:38:01,871 --> 00:38:02,914 like episode 13. 753 00:38:02,914 --> 00:38:05,150 You know, I'm just I'm still trying to piece together the 754 00:38:05,431 --> 00:38:08,284 like the, the background history of like all these individuals, 755 00:38:08,284 --> 00:38:12,293 and I'm just like okay, so vicious is with julia, or maybe 756 00:38:12,373 --> 00:38:14,438 he isn't, maybe he's just using the name. 757 00:38:14,438 --> 00:38:16,909 I don't know what's going on, but this is cool, go ahead. 758 00:38:17,471 --> 00:38:22,579 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's like I think I'm gonna go back to one 759 00:38:22,579 --> 00:38:25,686 of my refrains, but, uh, I think I'm gonna need, like, I 760 00:38:25,786 --> 00:38:28,954 think a second watch is going to help me enjoy it more. 761 00:38:28,954 --> 00:38:33,887 So at first like, and I pop, possibly because of also the 762 00:38:33,927 --> 00:38:35,331 experience with the sub right. 763 00:38:35,331 --> 00:38:38,498 So I'm feeling very disconnected and lost as I'm 764 00:38:38,545 --> 00:38:41,884 watching episode one, you know, I'm like I don't, I don't know, 765 00:38:41,905 --> 00:38:45,172 did you ever go back to to watch the episodes dubbed, or you 766 00:38:45,192 --> 00:38:45,873 just kept going? 767 00:38:46,313 --> 00:38:50,532 so once I realized that for episode two, I, from two on I, 768 00:38:50,572 --> 00:38:53,284 was watching them dubbed okay, sure yeah, so I just didn't 769 00:38:53,344 --> 00:38:58,313 re-watch one, uh, so I, you know , so episode two was kind of 770 00:38:58,413 --> 00:39:01,898 like, in some way, my episode one, so I was still kind of, you 771 00:39:01,898 --> 00:39:04,188 know, getting bought in by three. 772 00:39:04,188 --> 00:39:08,617 I started to that's is that when honky tonk woman, when faye 773 00:39:08,617 --> 00:39:12,967 comes in, uh, yes, yeah, I think she just added a dynamic 774 00:39:13,329 --> 00:39:16,836 uh to the team that, uh, I was, I was enjoying a little bit more 775 00:39:16,836 --> 00:39:16,836 . 776 00:39:16,836 --> 00:39:19,389 Uh, it was kind of the wild card, you know. 777 00:39:19,489 --> 00:39:24,027 So, uh, that kind of drew me in and tell me, the corgi didn't do 778 00:39:24,027 --> 00:39:27,420 it for you I mean, the corgi is pretty cool, you know, and I 779 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,628 was also trying to understand the universe, because you have 780 00:39:29,668 --> 00:39:34,164 the, the red eye spray, and then you got the, the uh, benjamin 781 00:39:34,224 --> 00:39:37,911 button guy, uh, you know, like there's a, there's a lot going 782 00:39:37,931 --> 00:39:37,990 on. 783 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:40,876 It does a lot of pushing the boundaries. 784 00:39:40,876 --> 00:39:43,907 I, I and I'm not sure if this is an anime thing, because I 785 00:39:43,987 --> 00:39:48,697 remember one of my issues with naruto was I felt like there was 786 00:39:48,697 --> 00:39:54,233 never a cap to what someone's powers could possibly be like. 787 00:39:54,253 --> 00:39:59,972 You know okay now this guy can make puppets, they're humans and 788 00:39:59,972 --> 00:40:02,760 this, and I'm like what and I'm like, but how? 789 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:03,985 How does this happen? 790 00:40:03,985 --> 00:40:07,496 Like in my understanding of this, like that's not a possible 791 00:40:07,496 --> 00:40:10,947 ability right, right, the power scaling doesn't have an end. 792 00:40:11,347 --> 00:40:14,054 Speaker 1: So with stuff like naruto, even like dragon ball z 793 00:40:14,074 --> 00:40:15,117 and stuff, yeah you know. 794 00:40:15,626 --> 00:40:15,726 Speaker 3: Uh. 795 00:40:15,726 --> 00:40:20,054 So here, what I was kind of grappling with at first was like 796 00:40:20,054 --> 00:40:24,088 you know what's possible in this world, what's not possible? 797 00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,994 So I guess, very long answer. 798 00:40:25,994 --> 00:40:29,987 I did not like it at first but by the time I ended episode 13 I 799 00:40:29,987 --> 00:40:31,048 wanted to watch 14. 800 00:40:31,108 --> 00:40:33,454 Speaker 1: I just didn't have time yeah, and I I think the 801 00:40:33,916 --> 00:40:38,349 there there are a lot of like little things that, um, the show 802 00:40:38,349 --> 00:40:44,239 plays with in terms of like trying to slowly introduce you 803 00:40:44,358 --> 00:40:48,833 to the boundaries of the lore, like that episode that you 804 00:40:48,873 --> 00:40:52,083 mentioned I think it's the episode six, sympathy for the 805 00:40:52,143 --> 00:40:55,789 devil where you have that character who has been a kid for 806 00:40:55,789 --> 00:41:01,215 who knows how long at least 50 years, but possibly longer and 807 00:41:01,335 --> 00:41:05,161 we don't really understand why he was a kid. 808 00:41:05,161 --> 00:41:08,795 I think they kind of like explain it in like a hand wavies 809 00:41:08,795 --> 00:41:11,164 type of you know techno jargon. 810 00:41:11,364 --> 00:41:11,465 Speaker 3: Yeah. 811 00:41:12,286 --> 00:41:13,369 Speaker 1: But they didn't. 812 00:41:13,369 --> 00:41:17,605 Really it's not a strong enough explanation to like explain, 813 00:41:19,230 --> 00:41:23,231 really get you to latch onto it, but it's one of those things 814 00:41:23,291 --> 00:41:27,010 that like okay, I guess, for whatever reason, there is a 815 00:41:27,050 --> 00:41:30,289 possibility that this guy is basically immortal, unless X, y 816 00:41:30,309 --> 00:41:30,871 and Z happens. 817 00:41:30,871 --> 00:41:35,507 But yeah, that's probably the one episode that the power 818 00:41:35,547 --> 00:41:40,672 scaling just seems a little out of the box, because for the rest 819 00:41:40,672 --> 00:41:45,476 of the series everyone, every other character is fairly normal 820 00:41:45,476 --> 00:41:46,248 ish. 821 00:41:46,248 --> 00:41:49,099 You know like they're, they're, you know extremes, but they're 822 00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:52,469 still, you know, within the bounds of, you know like they're 823 00:41:52,469 --> 00:41:56,137 , basically martial artists yeah , he was a ghoul he was a ghoul 824 00:41:56,525 --> 00:41:57,449 yeah, he was a ghoul. 825 00:41:57,590 --> 00:42:00,501 Speaker 2: He just looked like a child instead of a zombie there 826 00:42:00,501 --> 00:42:01,003 you have it. 827 00:42:01,164 --> 00:42:02,438 Speaker 1: Anthony has the answer for us. 828 00:42:02,438 --> 00:42:03,306 Anthony, what are your? 829 00:42:03,306 --> 00:42:03,909 What are your thoughts? 830 00:42:03,909 --> 00:42:08,284 Uh, now that you've seen it a couple times, um, you're coming 831 00:42:08,385 --> 00:42:09,327 back to it fresh. 832 00:42:09,327 --> 00:42:14,996 Do you find that you're, you're hearing, uh, rich, and I kind 833 00:42:15,056 --> 00:42:17,969 of come to this, um, fresh, where we don't know the full 834 00:42:18,009 --> 00:42:18,891 story, we have yet to see the full season. 835 00:42:18,891 --> 00:42:21,239 We don't know the full story, we have yet to see the full 836 00:42:21,259 --> 00:42:21,539 season. 837 00:42:21,539 --> 00:42:23,748 We don't know if any of these connections are eventually going 838 00:42:23,748 --> 00:42:24,271 to make sense. 839 00:42:24,271 --> 00:42:29,807 You know, like a lot of sense, I should say, because right now, 840 00:42:29,807 --> 00:42:33,686 it seems as if we're like putting pieces onto a puzzle and 841 00:42:33,686 --> 00:42:35,673 it's starting like a picture starting to form. 842 00:42:35,673 --> 00:42:40,108 So, as an insider, looking, you know, listening to two 843 00:42:40,268 --> 00:42:43,451 outsiders talk about the show that you love, how do you feel? 844 00:42:43,451 --> 00:42:44,907 Like are we? 845 00:42:44,907 --> 00:42:48,956 Are we in for a wild ride with the next couple, with the next 846 00:42:48,996 --> 00:42:51,668 handful of episodes, or like is this? 847 00:42:51,668 --> 00:42:56,260 Is this notion of like, being a little bit confused, going to, 848 00:42:56,762 --> 00:42:58,847 you know, be prevalent throughout the entirety run, the 849 00:42:58,847 --> 00:42:59,550 entire run of this? 850 00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:02,436 Speaker 2: yeah, no, you're definitely in for a wild ride, 851 00:43:02,496 --> 00:43:06,331 but they, they do, they do explain things. 852 00:43:06,331 --> 00:43:11,940 Um, especially, you know it goes back and explains the, the 853 00:43:12,025 --> 00:43:16,018 relationship of you know vicious a little bit, but you know they 854 00:43:16,018 --> 00:43:18,324 , they explain that more obviously. 855 00:43:18,324 --> 00:43:19,367 You know what. 856 00:43:19,367 --> 00:43:22,936 What's going on with uh julia, you know, yeah, definitely, man, 857 00:43:22,936 --> 00:43:24,487 it's, it doesn't. 858 00:43:24,487 --> 00:43:28,775 I mean, I don't know if you've seen, like the, the rating on uh 859 00:43:28,775 --> 00:43:33,070 rotten tomato, and you know I don't always like go based on 860 00:43:33,512 --> 00:43:36,079 just reviews solely. 861 00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:38,425 I also like to go based on my own experience. 862 00:43:38,425 --> 00:43:42,601 But still, like rotten tomatoes and even like the, the audience 863 00:43:42,601 --> 00:43:46,070 score is like really high for it and so, like you know, if you 864 00:43:46,070 --> 00:43:49,146 didn't get some sort of like explanation or if you felt kind 865 00:43:49,166 --> 00:43:52,637 of like unsatisfied, you know I don't think that it would be 866 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,425 that high up, you know right and I don't. 867 00:43:55,505 --> 00:43:58,489 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I'm dissatisfied, uh, because 868 00:43:58,530 --> 00:44:00,092 I'm right, I'm enjoying the ride . 869 00:44:00,253 --> 00:44:03,717 Speaker 2: You know you still have a whole 13 episodes to go. 870 00:44:03,717 --> 00:44:11,018 So, no, no, I'm absolutely buckle in man, because it's 871 00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:12,387 going to be a wild ride, man. 872 00:44:12,768 --> 00:44:16,969 Speaker 1: So I find that throughout the show it really 873 00:44:17,050 --> 00:44:20,750 relies on vibes quite a bit, because not a lot of the 874 00:44:20,789 --> 00:44:22,570 characters are super likable. 875 00:44:22,570 --> 00:44:26,190 You have, you have, uh, faye valentine, who you know drawn 876 00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:26,690 very pretty. 877 00:44:26,690 --> 00:44:30,217 She's a very insufferable character. 878 00:44:30,217 --> 00:44:32,809 Otherwise, you know, like she's meant to be written that way. 879 00:44:32,809 --> 00:44:38,164 And um spike is often, you know , very flippant with the other 880 00:44:38,184 --> 00:44:39,068 people on his crew. 881 00:44:39,068 --> 00:44:43,398 Jet barely wants to be present, you know, and anything, uh, 882 00:44:44,027 --> 00:44:46,512 that's probably the wrong, uh, characterization of jet, but you 883 00:44:46,512 --> 00:44:49,086 know what I'm saying, like he, he's, he's very gruff and he's, 884 00:44:49,128 --> 00:44:53,335 he's the angry old man on the on the crew and he is, but like, 885 00:44:54,157 --> 00:44:57,530 or he comes off that way, but that's not like a hundred 886 00:44:57,550 --> 00:45:00,217 percent the truth, because you see how he's gone to go save 887 00:45:00,626 --> 00:45:03,034 spike and he and he's gone to go save fey. 888 00:45:03,385 --> 00:45:06,713 Yeah, at this point, we we have seen that, so it it is true that 889 00:45:06,713 --> 00:45:07,213 he has. 890 00:45:07,213 --> 00:45:09,545 Uh, he's an old gruff guy with a heart. 891 00:45:09,846 --> 00:45:12,172 Speaker 2: You know he doesn't want to see this team uh fall 892 00:45:12,192 --> 00:45:13,494 apart absolutely. 893 00:45:13,594 --> 00:45:17,650 Speaker 1: And then, and then you have a young edward that is, 894 00:45:17,650 --> 00:45:22,617 you know, like a genius hacker yeah, so far I have not like, I 895 00:45:22,637 --> 00:45:25,590 guess we haven't really seen you know like why they brought this 896 00:45:25,590 --> 00:45:30,724 kid on on board um so I'm a little I I don't know enough 897 00:45:30,804 --> 00:45:34,293 about edward to like, really, you know, make a a judgment one 898 00:45:34,313 --> 00:45:34,893 way or the other. 899 00:45:34,934 --> 00:45:38,668 Like edward, I keep, I keep wanting to say he, it's a she, 900 00:45:38,949 --> 00:45:42,077 edward, um, outside of the episode that they that 901 00:45:42,818 --> 00:45:47,027 introduced her, we haven't really gotten a whole lot of use 902 00:45:47,027 --> 00:45:51,317 out of in terms of pushing the story forward, so I don't want 903 00:45:51,336 --> 00:45:54,449 to comment too much on that right, right, yeah, I mean you 904 00:45:54,469 --> 00:45:55,052 can whatever. 905 00:45:55,532 --> 00:45:56,594 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, I don't. 906 00:45:56,594 --> 00:45:59,148 I don't want to dig too deep into it because you know we have 907 00:45:59,148 --> 00:46:02,960 like a whole other, you know 13 episodes to go. 908 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,534 But I mean, as far as like, I mean the, the initial reason why 909 00:46:07,534 --> 00:46:11,389 edward is there is because you know they were kind of in a bind 910 00:46:11,389 --> 00:46:15,364 and fey made a promise and you know they're about to break that 911 00:46:15,364 --> 00:46:15,744 promise. 912 00:46:15,744 --> 00:46:19,574 But you know edward hacked the ship that's true. 913 00:46:19,675 --> 00:46:22,121 Speaker 1: Yes, uh, edward did hack the ship is. 914 00:46:22,121 --> 00:46:25,748 Is edward another character, rich, where you feel like the 915 00:46:25,789 --> 00:46:31,679 power scaling is a little bit uh bonkers or is like a tech 916 00:46:31,699 --> 00:46:34,751 genius, not in that same vein? 917 00:46:35,614 --> 00:46:38,922 Speaker 3: I mean, the age is the only thing that throws me 918 00:46:39,121 --> 00:46:39,302 off. 919 00:46:39,362 --> 00:46:43,233 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, that doesn't throw me off at all. 920 00:46:43,233 --> 00:46:46,248 I mean especially like with, with what, like you've seen some 921 00:46:46,248 --> 00:46:50,407 of these child prodigies that they can do that like I mean the 922 00:46:50,407 --> 00:46:54,338 , the scaling of the hacking might be a little bit crazy, but 923 00:46:54,338 --> 00:46:57,527 it, but it being like an age like you really just can't throw 924 00:46:57,527 --> 00:46:57,927 it out there. 925 00:46:57,927 --> 00:47:00,934 I mean there's there's like five, six year olds that are 926 00:47:00,974 --> 00:47:05,648 like playing, you know, violin on a scale that like some adults 927 00:47:05,648 --> 00:47:10,878 can't, you know I teach honors kids, four classes of almost 18 928 00:47:10,918 --> 00:47:11,318 year olds. 929 00:47:12,106 --> 00:47:15,989 Speaker 3: I've been doing that in this school for almost six 930 00:47:16,070 --> 00:47:16,391 years. 931 00:47:16,391 --> 00:47:23,759 Man, these kids can't get their passwords in like I, I, I just 932 00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:26,987 so I, I guess that's I, and I know where you're coming from. 933 00:47:27,088 --> 00:47:30,300 It's just, I guess, because this is my daily life, like I was 934 00:47:30,420 --> 00:47:34,552 also the technology coordinator by old school, uh, and at my new 935 00:47:34,552 --> 00:47:38,340 school, uh, you know, not everybody knows this, uh, but 936 00:47:38,699 --> 00:47:41,429 some of my friends know that I'm I'm pretty good with tech, so 937 00:47:41,489 --> 00:47:43,032 they'll give me a ring if they need something. 938 00:47:43,032 --> 00:47:46,777 And, man, if it involves a student, like I find like even 939 00:47:46,998 --> 00:47:49,168 more and more I'm gonna stop yelling at the clouds like an 940 00:47:49,208 --> 00:47:52,177 old man, but I'm finding more and more that my students have 941 00:47:52,565 --> 00:47:57,833 very fancy devices but don't know how to change settings, 942 00:47:57,994 --> 00:47:58,815 work things. 943 00:47:58,815 --> 00:48:00,719 Yeah, there's I. 944 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,893 I have found that there's almost. 945 00:48:02,893 --> 00:48:05,992 It's almost like we're, we're, we're in so much technology that 946 00:48:05,992 --> 00:48:08,322 they, they don't even bother figuring out how it works, 947 00:48:08,342 --> 00:48:11,371 they're just happy it does yeah, well, well, I mean that that's 948 00:48:11,411 --> 00:48:13,456 why it would be like a prodigy. 949 00:48:14,097 --> 00:48:16,010 Speaker 2: You know, like you, you can't really like compare a 950 00:48:16,070 --> 00:48:19,882 prodigy to like your every, every day, like just kid. 951 00:48:19,882 --> 00:48:22,913 But it seems like most, most kids, they, just they. 952 00:48:22,913 --> 00:48:23,835 They want to go in. 953 00:48:23,835 --> 00:48:27,293 Like going to school for kids is like how we go to work, it's 954 00:48:27,313 --> 00:48:30,431 like I just want to come in, get my paycheck and just go, that's 955 00:48:30,431 --> 00:48:34,043 it, that that's that's like really, that's really like what 956 00:48:34,083 --> 00:48:35,967 school is kind of like. 957 00:48:35,967 --> 00:48:40,117 But I mean they're, they're the , the few like from time to time 958 00:48:40,117 --> 00:48:42,208 that are just really good at it . 959 00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:43,472 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's. 960 00:48:43,472 --> 00:48:44,648 There is like a. 961 00:48:44,648 --> 00:48:47,690 I mean we have a student who went to our school who's like 962 00:48:47,751 --> 00:48:51,367 now, uh, I don't know, um sold his company for like a hundred 963 00:48:51,387 --> 00:48:56,072 million dollars, or he's some sort of just uh, just genius. 964 00:48:56,072 --> 00:48:58,856 Uh, yeah, so, no, I totally uh it. 965 00:48:58,856 --> 00:49:00,056 No, I totally uh it's. 966 00:49:00,056 --> 00:49:03,240 I think it's like so, does Ed have parents? 967 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:09,989 I think I'm a little like hazy on like why I think they so with 968 00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:11,791 Ed or Edward. 969 00:49:12,211 --> 00:49:20,005 Speaker 1: They kind of pair him with the disembodied voice of a 970 00:49:20,005 --> 00:49:22,918 satellite that's just been orbiting earth for who knows how 971 00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:23,159 long. 972 00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:28,757 The satellite itself is very lonely and ed also seems to be 973 00:49:28,836 --> 00:49:29,438 very lonely. 974 00:49:29,438 --> 00:49:32,246 We don't see ed with anyone else other than the people that 975 00:49:32,346 --> 00:49:33,849 show up at her door. 976 00:49:33,849 --> 00:49:40,244 So I have a feeling that you know the, the fact that you know 977 00:49:40,244 --> 00:49:46,010 we got to see the vocalization of this forgotten satellite who 978 00:49:46,070 --> 00:49:46,851 is very lonely. 979 00:49:46,851 --> 00:49:53,557 I think that that is in part meant to symbolize Ed's 980 00:49:53,637 --> 00:49:57,402 loneliness and the desire for friendship. 981 00:49:57,402 --> 00:50:01,514 So I don't think that her parents are around, basically, 982 00:50:01,594 --> 00:50:01,976 Gotcha. 983 00:50:02,525 --> 00:50:03,489 That's how I interpret it anyway . 984 00:50:03,804 --> 00:50:05,311 Speaker 2: It's a good interpretation, Dakota. 985 00:50:05,612 --> 00:50:06,173 Speaker 1: Thank you, friend. 986 00:50:08,206 --> 00:50:11,050 Speaker 2: Yeah, like I know that you know this is kind of 987 00:50:11,130 --> 00:50:15,318 like out of your wheelhouse, but definitely I would say, you 988 00:50:15,338 --> 00:50:16,199 know, give it. 989 00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:18,751 I mean, if you want to, obviously, if you have the time, 990 00:50:18,751 --> 00:50:19,532 give it more. 991 00:50:19,532 --> 00:50:22,077 You know more watches, rich. 992 00:50:22,077 --> 00:50:26,889 I mean like I've given it, given it, you know a few or so 993 00:50:26,969 --> 00:50:31,117 watches like over the years and so, like you know, and I guess 994 00:50:31,137 --> 00:50:34,791 like you can kind of like toss in a little bit of like you know 995 00:50:34,791 --> 00:50:37,137 , because they have a live action, so like I saw that. 996 00:50:37,137 --> 00:50:40,431 So it's like pretty much like watching that story like over, 997 00:50:40,472 --> 00:50:42,777 but like in a live action kind of format. 998 00:50:42,856 --> 00:50:46,414 But yeah, man, like I the the biggest thing, the, the thing 999 00:50:46,434 --> 00:50:50,068 that always like gets me when I think about cowboy bebop, though 1000 00:50:50,068 --> 00:50:53,675 , is just like how amazing that score is like I know we've 1001 00:50:53,715 --> 00:50:58,871 talked a little bit about it, but like if I have any liking or 1002 00:50:58,871 --> 00:51:04,139 if I have like any enjoyment of jazz it started with Cowboy 1003 00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:04,519 Bebop. 1004 00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:06,650 Like you know, I wouldn't say that like I'm a big like 1005 00:51:07,072 --> 00:51:10,592 aficionado of jazz, Like I'm not going to go crazy to listen to 1006 00:51:10,672 --> 00:51:15,677 it, but I love the style of jazz that is like represented in 1007 00:51:15,697 --> 00:51:18,231 this and, like you know, they even have some, like you know, 1008 00:51:18,313 --> 00:51:21,188 big bands, you know tracks that are in there too. 1009 00:51:21,188 --> 00:51:23,474 That just it fits it. 1010 00:51:23,474 --> 00:51:27,713 Just it fits the, the vibe of the show and, and it's almost 1011 00:51:27,753 --> 00:51:32,465 like a like you you could call this like a kind of like, in a 1012 00:51:32,505 --> 00:51:36,429 way like a space opera, you know yeah, definitely, it definitely 1013 00:51:36,429 --> 00:51:39,672 has space opera vibes, vibes I was. 1014 00:51:40,032 --> 00:51:45,639 Speaker 1: I kept finding myself intrigued by the level of world 1015 00:51:45,639 --> 00:51:49,425 building that was and wasn't showcased. 1016 00:51:49,425 --> 00:51:55,076 We, we obviously know that this is a post-apocalyptic future 1017 00:51:55,516 --> 00:51:59,510 for man, that you know they've somehow made their way across 1018 00:51:59,990 --> 00:52:02,054 the, the solar system. 1019 00:52:02,054 --> 00:52:02,737 Basically it does. 1020 00:52:02,737 --> 00:52:05,389 I don't think they have gone past the solar system, at least 1021 00:52:05,510 --> 00:52:06,572 we haven't seen that yet. 1022 00:52:06,572 --> 00:52:11,251 Um, it's always been in, like you know, in the asteroid belt 1023 00:52:11,371 --> 00:52:14,838 or the ganymede mars, you know, like, okay, we've been to earth 1024 00:52:14,958 --> 00:52:15,338 one time. 1025 00:52:15,338 --> 00:52:18,409 Um, so it's I. 1026 00:52:18,489 --> 00:52:20,690 I find that that is kind of cool . 1027 00:52:20,690 --> 00:52:27,378 It almost's in the level of technological advancement that 1028 00:52:27,398 --> 00:52:29,181 you'd see in something like the Expanse. 1029 00:52:29,181 --> 00:52:36,257 But I found that the less they tell us, the more interested I 1030 00:52:36,336 --> 00:52:39,570 get, if that makes sense, because they'll show us a world, 1031 00:52:39,570 --> 00:52:42,556 they'll show us a casino planet or a casino asteroid or 1032 00:52:42,577 --> 00:52:42,918 something. 1033 00:52:42,918 --> 00:52:47,516 They'll show us people wanting to go to Mars or whatever. 1034 00:52:47,516 --> 00:52:52,005 But they never really explain how this all happened. 1035 00:52:52,005 --> 00:52:54,313 I don't even think there's a coherent. 1036 00:52:54,313 --> 00:52:59,413 As a timeline guy, I probably should have done my research and 1037 00:52:59,413 --> 00:53:08,585 figured out exactly at least what decade we're in, and I did 1038 00:53:08,606 --> 00:53:10,028 look at a couple dates in the background. 1039 00:53:10,028 --> 00:53:11,733 I know we're over, you know like we're well into the, the 1040 00:53:11,753 --> 00:53:15,521 21st century, but, um, I don't know exactly when these, when 1041 00:53:15,541 --> 00:53:18,447 this show is supposed to have taken place, um, but but I do 1042 00:53:18,547 --> 00:53:23,094 like the idea that the less they show us or the less they give 1043 00:53:23,134 --> 00:53:28,360 us in terms of exposition, the more we just get by on vibes, 1044 00:53:30,626 --> 00:53:32,333 and the show is a lot of vibes, basically. 1045 00:53:32,724 --> 00:53:35,594 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm making sense there it is. 1046 00:53:35,594 --> 00:53:41,559 And the thing I like about Cowboy Bebop and obviously a lot 1047 00:53:41,559 --> 00:53:44,164 of it is, you know, based in science fiction. 1048 00:53:44,164 --> 00:53:50,880 But I I kind of also put star trek in like the same kind of I 1049 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,324 guess it's like same kind of bubble. 1050 00:53:52,324 --> 00:53:56,875 Is that like the technology, or a lot of the technology that is 1051 00:53:56,875 --> 00:53:59,027 used in cowboy bebop is believable? 1052 00:53:59,027 --> 00:54:02,221 You know, like I would say that the spaceships and everything 1053 00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:06,911 that was kind of used in, uh, cowboy bebop was like something 1054 00:54:06,931 --> 00:54:09,235 that I could see like actually being real. 1055 00:54:09,235 --> 00:54:12,929 The one, like one of the things that that was a little bit, you 1056 00:54:12,929 --> 00:54:15,585 know, I would say, based off science fiction, is like, you 1057 00:54:15,606 --> 00:54:18,954 know, it's like stargates, right , and I thought that those 1058 00:54:18,974 --> 00:54:19,695 looked really cool. 1059 00:54:19,695 --> 00:54:22,471 I mean, I loved like that they had like a whole notion of 1060 00:54:22,692 --> 00:54:28,847 Stargates and that was their version of hyperspace and that 1061 00:54:29,007 --> 00:54:32,175 if something happens within a Stargate, if you close that 1062 00:54:32,215 --> 00:54:37,253 Stargate out, that matter, that you could see that matter, but 1063 00:54:37,293 --> 00:54:39,157 it's not part of that physical plane. 1064 00:54:39,157 --> 00:54:41,090 Yeah, that was so sick. 1065 00:54:41,211 --> 00:54:42,094 Speaker 1: That was really cool. 1066 00:54:42,094 --> 00:54:46,534 That's one of those moments where I was just like okay, so 1067 00:54:46,554 --> 00:54:49,664 in physics class they learned that, you know, things traveling 1068 00:54:49,664 --> 00:54:52,291 through hyperspace are visible to the eye, but not that they 1069 00:54:52,331 --> 00:54:55,827 can't, you know, interact with things on this plane of reality. 1070 00:54:55,827 --> 00:54:59,139 So now we're talking about, like, multiple planes of reality 1071 00:54:59,139 --> 00:55:02,431 , um, that they're playing with, um, but but yeah, even just 1072 00:55:02,472 --> 00:55:05,230 like the, the jump points through the, the stargates. 1073 00:55:05,230 --> 00:55:07,817 I thought that was super, super cool, um, and I think that they 1074 00:55:07,817 --> 00:55:11,172 showed that, like in the very first scene of the first episode 1075 00:55:11,172 --> 00:55:15,710 , we, we, we start getting like these heavy sci-fi concepts in, 1076 00:55:15,789 --> 00:55:19,637 you know, interplanetary, like travel, and it all looks and 1077 00:55:19,737 --> 00:55:22,791 feels very believable and it's not overly polished. 1078 00:55:22,791 --> 00:55:25,088 You know, like the, the animation is overly polished. 1079 00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:27,454 It's, it's beautiful animation, but what I'm saying is like the 1080 00:55:27,454 --> 00:55:31,972 in universe look to it is is gritty and dirty and it doesn't 1081 00:55:32,054 --> 00:55:32,996 feel lived in. 1082 00:55:33,335 --> 00:55:34,639 Yeah, yes, it feels lived in. 1083 00:55:34,639 --> 00:55:36,990 Yeah, it's, it's really interesting good stuff. 1084 00:55:36,990 --> 00:55:38,715 Man, I'm I'm happy we're doing this. 1085 00:55:38,715 --> 00:55:42,793 Um, we haven't done a whole lot of anime, uh, project Ecology, 1086 00:55:42,833 --> 00:55:47,954 just in general, but since we've had Rich on, we've actually 1087 00:55:47,994 --> 00:55:51,802 covered a couple anime topics, which I'm happy about. 1088 00:55:52,264 --> 00:55:57,534 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, with Rich being here, we definitely 1089 00:55:57,574 --> 00:56:06,427 got to up the ante on anime to, you know, up the ante on um, on 1090 00:56:06,447 --> 00:56:06,568 anime. 1091 00:56:06,568 --> 00:56:08,612 And I would say, you know, you know buck, you know buckle up, 1092 00:56:08,632 --> 00:56:09,755 or you know, buckle up your seat belts. 1093 00:56:09,755 --> 00:56:11,862 And, uh, you know, the reason why I throw that little joke in 1094 00:56:11,882 --> 00:56:14,936 there is because that's the name of the, that's the name of the, 1095 00:56:14,936 --> 00:56:18,608 the group that does the score, they're called the seat belts oh 1096 00:56:18,608 --> 00:56:22,235 yeah, that intro sequence is called tank. 1097 00:56:22,936 --> 00:56:26,507 Um, one of my favorites like I have like just a bunch, like a 1098 00:56:26,588 --> 00:56:27,871 lot of tracks that I like. 1099 00:56:27,871 --> 00:56:32,588 One of my favorite tracks is it's called rush and it's in 1100 00:56:32,648 --> 00:56:35,072 that first episode when he's fighting. 1101 00:56:35,072 --> 00:56:37,898 When he's fighting oh my gosh, what's his name? 1102 00:56:37,898 --> 00:56:39,067 I always forget his name. 1103 00:56:39,067 --> 00:56:40,690 I mean, he's only in one episode. 1104 00:56:40,710 --> 00:56:44,387 Speaker 1: So it's not, yeah, the the guy who takes too much 1105 00:56:44,427 --> 00:56:44,887 of the. 1106 00:56:45,128 --> 00:56:49,036 Speaker 3: The red eyes red eye yeah so it was like it was like 1107 00:56:49,155 --> 00:56:49,657 our many. 1108 00:56:49,898 --> 00:56:53,112 Speaker 2: No, it was like some as a mob, as that's what it is 1109 00:56:53,574 --> 00:56:57,666 yeah, so so there's a track where he's like he's fighting um 1110 00:56:57,666 --> 00:57:00,554 as a mob and like I love that track. 1111 00:57:00,554 --> 00:57:04,605 It's called rush, it's uh, it's just like you know, high, just 1112 00:57:04,724 --> 00:57:08,152 high speed jazz and like really awesome. 1113 00:57:08,152 --> 00:57:12,378 I think that one's called um, it's not called b-bop, I think 1114 00:57:12,425 --> 00:57:16,373 it's like hard bop or something like that, but it's dude. 1115 00:57:16,373 --> 00:57:20,567 Yeah, man, like I could talk about the, the score of this 1116 00:57:20,708 --> 00:57:21,811 anime like all day. 1117 00:57:21,811 --> 00:57:25,286 It's just like it's one of my favorites and like you know, 1118 00:57:25,387 --> 00:57:28,576 even, yeah, like, like you said, like, even like the tracks are 1119 00:57:28,596 --> 00:57:31,684 just kind of like interspersed throughout the different scenes. 1120 00:57:31,684 --> 00:57:34,951 You know nothing that, not even anything that like huge and 1121 00:57:34,992 --> 00:57:37,496 over the top for the scene, just like kind of, you know, 1122 00:57:37,536 --> 00:57:38,619 transition scene. 1123 00:57:38,619 --> 00:57:40,289 It's amazing. 1124 00:57:41,025 --> 00:57:45,202 Speaker 1: So I'm looking through our episodes, uh, so 1125 00:57:45,242 --> 00:57:47,990 we've done a couple anime episodes with you rich, uh, 1126 00:57:48,050 --> 00:57:50,496 starting with the lord of the rings, the war of the rohirrim, 1127 00:57:50,806 --> 00:57:55,519 which which was, uh, directed in in it was an anime that you 1128 00:57:55,539 --> 00:57:58,947 know is is translated into english um, and then a couple 1129 00:57:59,027 --> 00:58:02,914 weeks later we did the Boy and the Heron, which was definitely 1130 00:58:02,974 --> 00:58:05,360 throwing you into the deep end of Hayao Miyazaki. 1131 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,434 But you know, I'm glad you came out on top and you're still 1132 00:58:09,474 --> 00:58:10,085 here, you didn't? 1133 00:58:10,085 --> 00:58:10,969 You didn't you know? 1134 00:58:10,969 --> 00:58:11,590 Dip. 1135 00:58:11,913 --> 00:58:15,461 Speaker 3: After that I was surprised you guys take me on 1136 00:58:15,481 --> 00:58:18,530 some rides, but you know a lot of it's just it's just trying to 1137 00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:21,795 get into the world a lot for me most of the time. 1138 00:58:21,795 --> 00:58:26,393 I mean, I won't lie, the War of the Warherum yeah, it's anime. 1139 00:58:26,393 --> 00:58:29,432 That's how I got Charlie to go watch it. 1140 00:58:29,432 --> 00:58:35,135 But I was strictly there for the Lord of the Rings content, 1141 00:58:35,496 --> 00:58:35,817 of course. 1142 00:58:35,817 --> 00:58:36,318 That's what I wanted. 1143 00:58:37,525 --> 00:58:38,670 Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing. 1144 00:58:38,670 --> 00:58:39,873 Anime is just a medium. 1145 00:58:39,873 --> 00:58:45,652 There are so many different types of anime and animation and 1146 00:58:45,652 --> 00:58:49,070 we've covered a bunch of different animated type stuff on 1147 00:58:49,070 --> 00:58:49,612 the show. 1148 00:58:49,612 --> 00:58:52,168 We did the first season of Legend of Korra, we've done the 1149 00:58:52,210 --> 00:58:55,686 Dragon Prince, we did Prince of Egypt, we did, like I said, boy 1150 00:58:55,706 --> 00:59:00,971 in the Heron and War of the Rehirim, and I think that's it. 1151 00:59:00,971 --> 00:59:02,688 Yeah, I think that's it. 1152 00:59:02,688 --> 00:59:03,150 Yeah, I think that's it. 1153 00:59:03,150 --> 00:59:04,253 Oh no, we did tales of the underworld too. 1154 00:59:04,253 --> 00:59:06,490 So there's a whole bunch of different animated stuff and at 1155 00:59:06,811 --> 00:59:09,606 like, I'm talking, you know cartoons in general, but when it 1156 00:59:09,606 --> 00:59:14,956 comes to anime, specifically from japan, um, it does start to 1157 00:59:14,956 --> 00:59:20,672 have a more streamlined feel, but even then there are there's 1158 00:59:20,773 --> 00:59:23,677 so many different varieties within that. 1159 00:59:23,677 --> 00:59:24,925 And again, it's just a medium. 1160 00:59:24,925 --> 00:59:28,072 You know, like you, you can give someone a paint, a 1161 00:59:28,112 --> 00:59:32,510 paintbrush, and you know it's technically a painting, but you, 1162 00:59:32,510 --> 00:59:34,753 everyone's gonna paint differently, you know. 1163 00:59:35,255 --> 00:59:38,047 Speaker 3: So, yeah, I think that you're right that's pretty 1164 00:59:38,068 --> 00:59:38,648 cool, are we? 1165 00:59:38,728 --> 00:59:42,396 Speaker 1: are we covering the next 13 episodes of Cowboy Bebop 1166 00:59:42,396 --> 00:59:43,038 next week? 1167 00:59:44,768 --> 00:59:50,637 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course we usually finish things off. 1168 00:59:50,637 --> 00:59:53,594 I don't think that we would intersperse it like that. 1169 00:59:53,594 --> 00:59:55,536 Just for that comment, Anthony. 1170 00:59:55,536 --> 00:59:56,300 Just for that comment. 1171 00:59:56,300 --> 00:59:56,744 That would be crazy. 1172 00:59:56,824 --> 00:59:59,373 Speaker 1: We're covering Dragon Prince Season 2 next week. 1173 00:59:59,773 --> 01:00:00,255 Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding. 1174 01:00:03,126 --> 01:00:05,094 Speaker 1: No, we're definitely going to finish up Cowboy Bebop. 1175 01:00:05,094 --> 01:00:07,231 I'm enjoying it. 1176 01:00:07,231 --> 01:00:10,072 Did you say that there's a film as well? 1177 01:00:10,713 --> 01:00:10,974 Speaker 2: Yes. 1178 01:00:11,585 --> 01:00:16,817 Speaker 1: Is it a sequel to the series or is it a recut of the 1179 01:00:16,856 --> 01:00:17,157 series? 1180 01:00:17,157 --> 01:00:19,518 What am I supposed to know about this film? 1181 01:00:20,001 --> 01:00:20,545 Speaker 2: I don't remember. 1182 01:00:20,545 --> 01:00:23,273 I think the movie is is. 1183 01:00:23,273 --> 01:00:25,186 I think it is a sequel. 1184 01:00:25,186 --> 01:00:28,994 I think it's just like cowboy bebop the movie yeah, that like 1185 01:00:29,014 --> 01:00:31,498 that, the movie, I had seen it. 1186 01:00:31,498 --> 01:00:35,172 I think I've seen the movie maybe a couple times, but, like 1187 01:00:35,213 --> 01:00:38,047 a while ago, I've seen the anime more than I've seen the movie, 1188 01:00:38,469 --> 01:00:41,920 I think I think the movie, if I remember correctly, I don't, I 1189 01:00:41,940 --> 01:00:44,827 don't think it was, I don't think it was particularly bad or 1190 01:00:44,827 --> 01:00:45,248 anything. 1191 01:00:45,248 --> 01:00:48,597 I'm just trying, I'm trying to remember the details of it. 1192 01:00:48,597 --> 01:00:53,978 But yeah, yeah, I just I just have flashes of memories but, 1193 01:00:54,038 --> 01:00:58,166 like you

why do they hate each 1231 01:02:49,456 --> 01:02:50,726 other or love each other? 1232 01:02:50,726 --> 01:02:52,610 I don't know what their relationship is I really don't, 1233 01:02:53,092 --> 01:02:53,373 but it's. 1234 01:02:53,373 --> 01:02:54,195 It's tenuous. 1235 01:02:54,195 --> 01:02:55,967 It's a tenuous relationship. 1236 01:02:55,967 --> 01:02:59,615 We're gonna learn more about it next week, guys uh, you know 1237 01:02:59,635 --> 01:02:59,976 what's not. 1238 01:02:59,996 --> 01:03:02,208 Speaker 3: So if you want, tell me, do you know what's not 1239 01:03:02,228 --> 01:03:02,608 tenuous? 1240 01:03:02,608 --> 01:03:07,476 I think, uh, I think what's not tenuous is uh something juicy 1241 01:03:08,177 --> 01:03:11,427 oh yeah, something juicy specifically. 1242 01:03:11,909 --> 01:03:14,617 Speaker 1: Well, you know it was a little tenuous there was. 1243 01:03:14,617 --> 01:03:17,947 You know they, they left the, the lobster in the fridge for a 1244 01:03:18,007 --> 01:03:19,170 year and they open it. 1245 01:03:19,170 --> 01:03:23,237 It's, it's incredibly juicy in there, um, and it causes them to 1246 01:03:23,237 --> 01:03:27,032 get extremely sick because there's now like a rabid, uh 1247 01:03:27,172 --> 01:03:30,257 juicy alien running through the, the ship. 1248 01:03:30,257 --> 01:03:33,873 But you know, to bring this right back around, there might 1249 01:03:33,893 --> 01:03:36,547 have been some crunchies in there too there might have been. 1250 01:03:36,907 --> 01:03:38,670 It was a rock lobster apparently . 1251 01:03:38,670 --> 01:03:43,157 Um, so yeah, it was definitely a little bit of crunch, a lot of 1252 01:03:43,157 --> 01:03:46,708 juicy, but uh, you know what, what should be juicy? 1253 01:03:46,708
