Looking off live. Survived. I fucking survived, people. I can't even tell you how much I could say that. I survived. Realized again. Realast. Fuck it. What's up, Bug? What's up?

SPEAKER_02

What's up? What's up? How you doing? How was your week? It was interesting. Dealing with the stupid cold that's lasted two weeks already. Normally it doesn't last that long. So I've been going through it.

SPEAKER_01

That's it. That's it. What the fuck is wrong with you? What do you mean? I like to keep my life simple.

SPEAKER_00

What do you mean do for fun? Watch the paint fucking dry?

SPEAKER_02

No. Just chill, rest when I can. Huh? Go to a strip club. No, hell no. Do something. No. Order a pizza. I ate a pizza this week. Chicken and beef.

SPEAKER_01

You even ordered pizza.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, wait, but it's from the pizza you don't like, though. It's from Domino's. Which I love because I spent I've been eating it all my life, but you don't like Domino's. Because you're a rich boy.

SPEAKER_01

I like good pizza.

SPEAKER_02

Because you got money, so he can buy that expensive crap.

Vegas Bender And Family Scare

SPEAKER_01

Bro, I just like pizza. It's not being about having who has more money than who. It's just more about like I like good fucking pizza. Other than that, bro, what the fuck? Every week we do this. You have nothing going on. Nope. Scratch that. Let's just get on to the show. Mr. High's week has been crazy. Let me tell you about the last two weeks. I went to Vegas. I watched the Eagles win a fucking Super Bowl. I fucking came back here. I had to go party. I had to. What was this other thing? I had to do this other thing. I really skipped past Vegas, but we'll go back to how Vegas was. I had to. Oh, my uncle had a my uncle. Um prayers for my uncle's in the chat right now. My uncle had a stroke and they didn't find him until like 3 p.m. He's been in the hospital since then. They got a hold of him for 14 days, swelling in the brain. Hella shit. Don't even know how I'm processing that right now. I have multiple multiple things I have to do. Multiple like behind the scenes I gotta do. And that's all been in the span of two weeks. Now, Buck, you know, I'm gonna ask you again. What the fuck do you do on the weekend?

SPEAKER_02

Nothing, bro. I just watched the UFC fights, and that's about it. That's all I got looking forward to. You do you do more than enough for the both of us, trust me. I try I like to keep my life simple. The least I have to do things, the better for me.

SPEAKER_01

You see that guy on the UFC that fucking was uh like moving, like when he got submitted?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, dude. Oh wait, we weren't the phone call.

SPEAKER_01

You saw that? I saw it on TikTok and I was like, damn, this is what he was looking at. God dang, this dude looked like he was about to die.

SPEAKER_02

One of the comments said that his eyes went like the Undertaker because they rolled to the back of his head. Because he got submitted. He got knocked out completely.

SPEAKER_01

God damn. Well, yeah, no, fuck that. Fucking um, fuck that at all. Fuck that entirely.

SPEAKER_02

What I was gonna say to you, um We kind of we kind of missed it, but the game. What a game.

SPEAKER_01

No, we're gonna talk about all this. We're gonna get all this right now. I'm trying to get all my thoughts together. I drank so much Don Julio, Hennessy, tequila, whiskey, and all the fucking above. You don't drink alcohol, but my head has not readjusted to society yet. I was on a bender. Two hours sleep per night. Don't go home until 8 30 in the morning. Big boy pop my collar shit. Anyway, where's the iPad for uh with my notes to tell me what the fuck I need to talk about this week? Hold on. Anyway, what's up, everybody in the High Talk community? Thanks for calling, thanks for sponsoring us. We're working on it. It's the first couple episodes, so we're gonna be working back and forth. We're trying to get the suit together, get the studio together, get everything working out. But right now, we're gonna be getting everything done. I don't know why Buck didn't lay out the carpet. I have so much echo in my voice because he didn't lay out the carpet. Buck, you want to tell me why you didn't lay out the carpet? Got lazy? Why didn't you lay out the carpet? You are here to help me. I'm recovering. First of all, sounds like a you problem, alright? Mr. Party Boy. I'm recovering, bro. Like what? I don't get no fucking grace. I don't get no fucking grace. Alright, fuck you. Alright, let's see what the fucking shit we have to catch up on. Hella shit. Holy shit. This is all the stuff we missed in the past two weeks.

SPEAKER_02

That was just the first week. That was just last week.

Super Bowl Blowout And Halftime Take

SPEAKER_01

Holy shit. Okay. Well, let's get the first one out the way that's easy. And um, the easiest one to talk about. How was the Super Bowl? I know you watch it. You don't watch fucking football when you watch the Super Bowl. How was the second half?

SPEAKER_02

I watched the second half.

SPEAKER_01

How did you not watch the beginning of a Super Bowl?

SPEAKER_02

I was uh I was watching The Sopranos. What the fuck? And then and then the first half, and then I watched the halftime show, which was pretty good. I liked it. And then I watched the second half. And then my dad kept texting me, so I'm like, I'm like, oh. Even though he's uh he's uh he's a soccer fan. Did your dad bet on the game? No, he doesn't bet.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Did he bet? Did he win?

SPEAKER_01

I will not disclose that on this location. We don't need to disclose how much I won or lost in Vegas. No, no, but this is just the game. I don't give a fuck. I was in Vegas. It counts.

SPEAKER_02

I guess.

SPEAKER_01

But the game itself was a slaughterfest. Um to put it to put it an example that you can understand since you don't want to. They got clapped.

SPEAKER_02

That's what it means.

SPEAKER_01

Think of think of Neymar's team versus Ronaldo's. Don't even bring up Neymar.

SPEAKER_02

I hate Neymar.

SPEAKER_01

Bring up Neymar's team versus Ronaldo's team, and Neymar beat Ronaldo five to zip, five to one. That's how this was. Wouldn't happen, but sure. No. Bro, I'm not like I'm trying to put it to the game. Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback of our generation. He has won so many Super Bowls, got to the titles, and he's just he's just great. Like he is Ronaldo. Like he like on his if he's on the team, that team's probably gonna win. Like it's the guaranteed fact. Like, so much people lost money betting on uh Patrick Mahomes, but he's one of the it's like betting on Ronaldo. Like, if Ronaldo was going up against Neymar, but Neymar had a really good team around him, you would still probably bet on Ronaldo to win that motherfucking game. So guarantee Ronaldo's gonna get that game. You just watch Ronaldo lose to five to one. That's crazy. Everybody was just dumbfounded. No one could believe it. No one truly could believe it. It's just because you know Ronaldo's great, but everybody around him was ass on his team. That's just like in soccer terms. That's the easiest way I could put it without you be like, whatever. If that's the eat, like it's just like, what the fuck just happened? Yeah, Namor should not beat this nigga. But it happened. Uh, how was the halftime show? Since that's the only thing you really watched. I liked it.

SPEAKER_02

It was pretty good. It was Kendrick. Samuel Jackson. Huh? I like the Samuel Jackson. Always. Whatever he does is always gonna be great. That was that was good. That was good. I liked it. I mean, a lot of people didn't like it because they said it was slow. But that's Kendrick, though. You're not gonna expect a Travis Scott type concert out of Kendrick. You know what I mean? Like he's gonna do his thing, it's gonna be all symbolisms and storytelling. He said it, like it was gonna be pure storytelling, and that's all it was.

SPEAKER_01

I hate how they made it into a complete uh political thing. I mean like I get Kendrick, I know what he's gonna do. You saw it coming though, right? Like, I don't like how fucking CNN is calling it fucking Fox. Oh, Fox. Yeah, Fox is calling it, Fox is calling it the woke protest of the Super Bowl. CNN is calling it the fucking um whites rebellion into black culture, like none of that had nothing to do with any of that. Who really knows that knows, knows that that just showed that yo, the country split in the part, we should all come together and let's fucking shit on Drake, this Canadian nigga while we do it. That's literally all that. Like, if we're going simple motherfucking terms and not going really deep depth into what he like, all the shit that he put out there, bro, it was just yo, the country was splitting apart. Let's all come together and focus up.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no, that that that's what Samuel Jackson's character was, basically.

SPEAKER_01

That shit was sick. That shit was hard. That was hard. Hard as fuck. Um I liked it. I'll give it like it didn't beat Michael Jackson. I'm gonna say that.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, who could? I'm gonna say that right now.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna put that damn to rest. It wasn't the greatest of all time.

SPEAKER_02

He stood there for two minutes without doing anything, and people clap non-stop. Yeah, no, you can't really beat it.

SPEAKER_01

You didn't beat Michael Jackson, you didn't beat Prince's performance. I don't even think you beat Travis Scott's because Travis Scott's one was sick, because that one, like how he opened it up, he opened it up with fucking uh SpongeBob. Remember when they did the fucking like like he they he opened up his thing like that, and then he made his own little like bowl inside the stadium. It was pretty, it was pretty dope. So that one was dope in my eyes compared to Kendrick's like it was good, it was great. I loved it.

SPEAKER_02

Like Kendrick, you're gonna like it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01

So fucked up by the time it's halftime show. I can't I had to wait until the next day to really watch that. It was like Rihanna did better. Rihanna was who shit, she was looking good, pregnant. I was like, bro, Rihanna did better on the Super Bowl on that point. I'm gonna say, um, yeah, no, it was uh okay. Like, okay, you did it, good job. We got to shit on Jake. We got to hear the A minor, we got to hear all that shit. Like, we're done. Game over. Game over when the lights went off. Cool. Liked how you started it off as the red button. Liked how you started the whole thing off with the red button. Drake. I love you, my nigga, but god damn, he fucks you on that one. But um, yeah, no, Super Bowl ass, halftime show, okay, not mid, but okay. It wasn't the best.

SPEAKER_02

It was it was Kendrick being Kendrick, really.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying, I would have loved to hear Mad City, ADHD, bitch. Don't kill my vibe, fucking public, uh, poetic justice, like you know, some of the fucking classics.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

King Kunta. I got a bone to pick. I don't want the yeah. These guys are, bro, I'm gonna have to get bleep so many times. Bleep bleep bleep. But um, yeah, no. Super Bowl is okay. That's alright. All right, on to the next one. Let's go. UFC card knockout?

Grammys Talk And Kendrick’s Run

SPEAKER_02

What was on the new UFC card? There was uh the card that Izzy got knocked out. And he got sent to. Izzy's doing bad right now. He's on a three three losing streak, bro. He's gotta hang it up now. Like now he's actually gonna hang it up.

SPEAKER_01

He's on a three losing streak right now.

SPEAKER_02

Three five losing streak. He lost he lost his title, he lost to the champion, and now he lost to a I guess contender, you could say. So Izzy, I don't know, man. Maybe if you feed him cans, but Izzy's been fighting at the top of the game for a long time, so it's I don't really see him doing that. And that's the thing, like that's that's what happens with these fighters, is they say, Oh, I still feel good, but you know, like it's not about how you feel, it's about how you're doing. And sometimes you're just not doing that great.

SPEAKER_01

I have nothing to say about any of this except, Izzy. You were a real one, bro. That was a like that like the ride, even if you do retire right now, brother. Like the ride you gave me was fun as fuck. You will be a Hall of Famer. But if you lose one more, or if you take one more and lose it, you hang it up. Izzy, fucking love you. You're my brother. I'll catch you on the next one. Fuck, bro. We have a lot of Kendrick shit on this thing. I just realized that. Why is there so much Kendrick? Let's just go down the list of shit that we already know.

SPEAKER_02

Because it was one day before the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_01

Holy shit. Kendrick Lamar, Kendrick Lamar won five Grammys, a total of 22 Grammys in total. Kendrick Lamar felt like Goku when he was making TV off. God damn. Let's go through those two right now. Um, Kendrick Lamar winning five Grammys off of a diss song. I feel like that's overhyped. How the fuck? I like Kendrick, but how like, bro?

SPEAKER_02

I mean, it's just one of those things where he's he's at 22 right now. So the only two hip hop artists to have more than him is Kanye and Jay-Z. Jay-Z keeps getting more because of Beyonce, because he writes for Beyonce, and then if Beyonce wins, he wins. So he's gonna keep adding more. So by next year, if Beyonce drops another album, Jay Z will probably be at 24, 20, like 26, 27, or you know, 25, whatever. But he'll keep getting more Grammys as long as Beyonce wins. And she just won album of the country album of the year. Uh I mean, I don't I don't know nothing about country, but Yeah, I didn't listen to it either.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean, you know. I ain't lying to the people, bro. I don't listen to country.

SPEAKER_02

No, me neither. I I I I would never do that. But but you know, she won. So Jay-Z won. So you just gotta you just gotta see how where it goes from there.

Fantastic Four Vs. Superman Showdown

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, congratulations, Kendrick Lamar, getting five Grammys off of one song. Cannot believe that. Really thought like Luther or something would win one. Um Fantastic Four. What about Fantastic Four?

SPEAKER_02

It was Oh, it was getting clowned for the CGI.

SPEAKER_01

You're the CGI hater. You hate it. No, no, I mean, I like bro. You ain't on every CGI on God. What do you mean, bro? Name one anime that you love their CGI from beginning to end. Which one? Name one anime you love their CGI from beginning to end. Name one show you love their CGI from beginning to end.

SPEAKER_02

Overlord. Nah, we're not gonna go there. We're not gonna go there.

SPEAKER_01

Take that skeleton fucking 10-inch dick out your mouth, bro.

SPEAKER_02

We're not gonna go there, bro. I'm fucking with you.

SPEAKER_01

Alright. Fantastic four. How do you like the trailer? It's good. I'm very excited for it. It's gonna be a good year.

SPEAKER_02

We're gonna get some decent movies next year.

SPEAKER_01

I think I I think it's gonna be crazy. What I don't like is how Fantastic Four is gonna drop on the same day. No. Yeah, Fantastic Four is gonna drop on the same day as Superman. So if you had to pick which one you were gonna watch first, is it gonna be Fantastic Four or is it gonna be Superman?

SPEAKER_02

I'll probably go for Fantastic Four because of the boy, Pedro Pascal, and then I'll go to Superman after that. Superman looks okay. It's it doesn't have Batman, so I'm not as interested as other people are, but I'll still give it a try.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm gonna watch Superman. You watch Superman harsh? Before Fantastic Four, guaranteed. Because let's be real. We've seen both trailers. Man of Steel's trailer looked way better than the Fantastic Four movie. It just looks like an okay movie. We can we can say it's okay. Like we we already know, like you both of them look okay. You bring the star power into Fantastic Four. Like all of like those are A-lister fucking actors that you have in the trailer, and with A-lister fucking um characters that are like have fan fan readiness.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I mean, I mean, uh let's be honest, Superman is way higher on the scene. 100% compared to the Fantastic Four. Who's the actor? Is this all I know is Pedro Pascal? And then the other actor. It's uh I don't think you saw it, but it's this is this actor from the movie called Pearl, which came out like a couple years ago.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. It was it was like uh it was more like he has more star power than Pedro Pascal. Nah, does he have more star power than the female one in Fantastic Four? I don't know her name.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I don't know who she is.

SPEAKER_01

I think she I think she has a lot more star power. So I'm just saying Marvel put a lot of star power and a lot of money in Fantastic Four. I watched a trailer of all of the Fantastic Four and all the A-list actors that are in there with all the production and shit. Superman trailer looked better, and I don't even know the kid. Fuck, I don't even know the dog. It's not even a famous dog that's in all the fucking movies like back in the day. Yeah, man. Like I don't even know the fucking dog. Just in the comics. Yeah, so like we're just like if I'm going off of trailer alone and like I didn't care about the actors, but I know the actors and I know the like I know their reps and I know how good they are. Yo, you like Superman made me more interested in that story, then I've been more interested in the Fantastic Four story. I'm gonna watch it, obviously. Yeah, because like they're both really good actors, and I want to see one who wins. But if you're going on the same day, bruh, Superman, this is Superman we're talking about. Name one Superman that flopped, name one Superman movie that flopped. Fantastic Four definitely flopped. All three. Like, like we could we could be real, like like Fantastic Four, the movies have flopped before. Name me one Superman movie that came out that just was like, yeah, we're not flopping.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, it wasn't liked, but Batman vs. Superman.

SPEAKER_01

That was that was a mix, and that was like a little fucking like King Kong versus Godzilla bullshit.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, man, Man of Steel is good enough. I like Man of Steel with Henry Cavill. I really like that movie. Like to this day, that's still my favorite DCU movie.

SPEAKER_01

I love Man of Steel. Like Man of Steel is good fucking.

SPEAKER_02

That's all they got, really. That's really all they got.

SPEAKER_01

No, the first ever one, too. Like the first Superman, I don't know who played it, I don't know the name, but the old classic one was good, too.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I see, I've never seen that one before. It's a good one. You love classic movies. With something Reeves, right? I forgot, dude. Is that the actor who was paralyzed when he had a horse accident? Yes. Yeah. Yes. That one, I mean, that one I've always seen clips and you know that the story around that one. Yeah, I've never gone to that one.

SPEAKER_01

Um that one's a good one too. Yeah. But I'm just saying, like, if we're going off of like past times and past everything, Superman don't lose when it comes to the box office.

SPEAKER_02

No, of course it's got a much bigger legacy overall.

SPEAKER_01

Legacy. And we're talking about just like the storytelling of Superman.

SPEAKER_02

Like if you don't allow if you don't add Batman in it, it still holds a lot of power.

SPEAKER_01

A lot of power, right? Yeah. Fantastic Four, you do the same thing with your characters and your fan base, but you you kind of flop once and there on the movie scene, right? So if we're going head to head a mono to a mono, there is both films on in the theaters.

SPEAKER_02

Superman is clapping easily. Clapping easily.

SPEAKER_00

Like, that's what I just don't fathom. Like, why would you do it on the same day? Like, you're you're gonna lose. I don't I know you got A-less actors, but your story ain't better than Superman.

SPEAKER_01

Are we really playing this game? Are we really are we really doing this?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no. Overall, I feel like Superman's gonna be an easy smash.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, easy fucking smash, easy smash, guaranteed. Guaranteed, but I am gonna watch Fantastic Four. Like, you know, those are A-T. I'm pretty curious about the one to be. You know, that's an A-less actor. Like, you gotta watch it. But we're asking, like, who's gonna win?

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, easily, easily uh Superman. Superman, that trailer looks sick. I'll watch, yeah, I'll watch Fantastic Four uh Four first, and then I'll watch Superman, like maybe the next day if I have time. You know, I'm gonna watch it back to back.

SPEAKER_01

Back to back, like they're obviously both going to get watched. Yep, but I just want to know who's gonna get the rewatched. And I feel like the rewatch when you already watched it is going to Superman.

UFC Losses And Izzy’s Future

SPEAKER_02

Just just based off the trailers alone.

SPEAKER_01

Like trailer alone, like which one are you gonna be like, yeah, let me turn this on because this movie was good as fuck. Yeah. Superman. Like, if you you have a chance, like I'm not capping on the Fantastic Four, like, give me what you've got.

SPEAKER_02

You don't have that legacy, though, because everybody knows your last couple movies weren't weren't big. Superman is just coming off to a new revival, basically. So this is gonna be the one that is gonna bring Superman into the future. So we just gotta wait it out and see.

SPEAKER_01

I just I can't wait. I'm excited for it. I love the rivalry. I love how DC's really about to beat Marvel one time. Like, I really hope they do, too, because y'all get your asses kicked. They're actually giving you one.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, DC overall loses. Marvel has been going on a great run up until Endgame. After Endgame, we all know what happened. They still lose. But in the early 2010s, that trilogy was go that Batman trilogy was going fucking crazy. Just if we're talking money alone, it was in the billion.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. But let's be real right now. Let's be real right now. Spider-Man. Like, as in the trilogy. The original. We all copped every Spider-Man toothbrush last week. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying those two movies were in the same same area. Same area, same dynasty. Batman movie trilogy. Superman movie. I mean, Spider-Man movie trilogy. Who did better? Marvel? DC.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, DC was DC's still trash, bro.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying, like when I'm really looking at it, I'm looking like Marvel been beating your ass. They gave you Spider-Man for the first one. They didn't, they hold back Iron Man. They say, yo, we don't have the CGI for this nigga yet. Let's not let's not pull out Iron Man. Let's just give him Spider-Man. Spider-M clapped the cheeks with their sandman. When Iron Man came out, y'all had no chance.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I mean, because at that point, DC was just dragging its feet. And then they went on to do that DCU because Marvel was doing so good. And they're like, we're gonna build our own cinematic universe. And they flopped. Like, by the time they made a terrible joker. By the time they made Batman versus Superman, that was the death of the terrible casting, terrible decision making.

SPEAKER_01

Everything about that whole DCU universe was ass.

SPEAKER_02

Trash. That one I'll never defend because that shit was absolute trash.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I don't get how you hire another Flash when the guy who was doing the TV show was the Flash. It like had the most popularity and all like, bro, would have gone to the movie theaters just to watch this guy in the big screen. So you're telling me y'all gonna do like y'all did the most dumb thing that I can ever think of when it comes to organizing a movie strategy for years for a 10-year plus period. But in any case, DC, you lose it all the time. That's just how we're going down to it. You lose every motherfucking time. Superman, this might be the first time ever that you might beat Marvel.

SPEAKER_02

And we have to wait for the Batman 2 to come out. You know that's gonna be a friggin' smash. Delayed. I mean it's delayed, but when it comes out though, Spider-Man delayed.

Solo Leveling, Daima, And Server Crashes

SPEAKER_01

Why are all my good movies delayed? Tell me that. Like, I don't get why all my best movies are getting delayed right now. I don't know what the fuck's going on there. But um solo leveling season two. Have you been watching? I have. Give me your thoughts. Halfway through.

SPEAKER_02

It's going crazy. Halfway through. It's going crazy. So right now, right now, solo leveling and Dyma are going ban for ban just to see who can shut down Crunchyroll the most. You notice that? No, it lied me. Huh? Enlighten enlightened me. Oh, the that whenever an episode of Solo comes out, especially as after episode six, it shut down Crunchyroll. Like the servers went down because they had too many people trying to watch it. And then Dyma, episode 19, came out. And that one shut down Crunchyroll too. Solo Leveling, episode seven, shut down again. So right now they're just going to see who's gonna shut down Crunchyrol the most.

SPEAKER_01

Have you watched any of Dima?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. How is it? First, I'm gonna be honest, first five episodes, pretty boring. Okay. But after that, it picks up. And Dragon Ball being the most successful anime franchise of all time, they spent a little bit of money on that budget. I'm not even gonna lie, because that that animation quality is amazing.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, you are you are a fucking animation fucking.

SPEAKER_02

No, I mean, I mean, it's Dragon Ball, bro. You know, if it's another anime, I wouldn't care, but this is Dragon Ball, they're worth billions. Like, how can you not even spend money on your cash cow?

SPEAKER_01

No, you're right, you're right, you're right. Um, solo Lovely Season 2. So far, I like it. I like the approach, I like everything about it. I'll give it a give it a nine. It's a little slow for me right now. Like, I see what they're doing, but then it's like also like hurry the fuck up. Hurry the fuck up. Like the one episode that pissed me off was I just watched an entire episode. I'm not trying to spoil, but I'm trying I watched an entire episode of him going through bodies of people. If you watch the episode, you know what I'm talking about. Just bodies of shit going through tower to tower, bodies of shit. We go to the next episode. This man is on a computer, he goes and gets his freaking card license renewed, and then he goes and mines, and the episode's over. I don't even care for spoiling that because that's total bullshit. That's a fucking episode.

SPEAKER_00

You was you went on your computer shopping, you went to go get your shit renewed like a DMV bullshit. You went mining like you went to work, literally, literally showed up to a nine to five.

SPEAKER_02

Episode over. That's that's how a lot of these Korean animes are, though. Like once you start you start seeing more of them pop off, they're gonna have a lot of like menial tasks type of thing. Like, there's some where the dude is going to a store trying to buy a new phone or something like that. That's the whole episode right there. So a lot of these Korean mangas are very slow like that, but this one is just massive right now. So it's kind of like you pay attention to everything that's happening.

SPEAKER_01

But I'm gonna give it to you right now. The slowness is killing me.

SPEAKER_02

Killing me. You uh you cut up completely to the episode six? No. Are you still like early in the video?

SPEAKER_01

I can check, I can check right now. I'm just don't I just I think that was about episode three.

SPEAKER_02

No, like episode, yeah, like three, four. I think that's that's around the episode that that happened.

SPEAKER_01

That episode, I think that was episode five when that happened. Um while I'm doing while I'm doing this looking at all this freaking bullshit, what was the um how do you rate the CGI of solo leveling season two?

SPEAKER_02

Luckily, they're not using it super excessively, excessively, so it's not super bothersome.

SPEAKER_01

So they're blending it in okay. I'm on episode 16, by the way. But uh, so like of what? Solo leveling season two. There's only six episodes right now, or season two. Oh, I forgot you don't have crunchy rogue, so oh, because it's the combination, right?

SPEAKER_02

Season one, season two. Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01

See, gotta do math, bro.

SPEAKER_02

12, 6, 18. So there's 18 episodes right now. So there's 18 episodes. There you go.

The Case For “Anime Is Mid” Now

SPEAKER_01

Okay, okay. At least we know we graduated high school. Get the hell out of here. At least we know you graduated high school. Get the hell out of here. But um, the CGI is great. I like how they're doing it with the eyes. I like, I like it, but I'm not gonna dick ride it. Not gonna dick ride it like everybody else. Oh, and Sakamoto days, all those Sakamoto fans that are hyping up Sakamoto days, I finally decided to give it the rating that it deserves. It is a 6.5 out of the tip out of the scale. It is literally an anime like spy family that you turn up when you're bored or you're waking up to go to work or you're just chilling and you need some background music. It is not an A tier anime, it is a mid-tier anime, but it's a good anime. You get like a 7.5. It's pretty good. See, it's not it's not A tier, but you know, it'll get you through the day. Like if you need an anime to get you through the day when you're bored, Sakamoto Days is a perfect fucking anime.

SPEAKER_02

I hate the coloring on Sakamoto Days, bro.

SPEAKER_01

And like I said, you're a CGI critic.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no, just the coloring, not even the C the animation, the coloring of how everything looks. Yeah, I really freaking hate it. Like, it looks weird. It whenever I watch an episode, it reminds me of Oh god, One Punch Man season two. I don't want to go too deep into that one because I'll get I'll get real mad because I'm not thinking, bro. Because I'll get real mad. But I'm saying the coloring of the actual panels itself are weird and I don't like it. They should have kept it plain. Animation would look better that way.

SPEAKER_01

You're a hater on One Punch Man. Man, I love One Punch Man. Dope you're a hater. We are first of all, I don't love it. Sorry in the mind fit.

SPEAKER_02

I love it so much that it's my right to be mad when there's something I don't like.

SPEAKER_01

Hater.

SPEAKER_02

You're a fucking hater, bro. Stop it, bro. I've been watching One Punch Man since the first day he came up.

SPEAKER_01

I just love you. Love all these, you love all these things so much, but you are the biggest hater I have ever met. Oh, yeah, big time. Big time. What the fuck? How do you like something but also hate it at the same time?

SPEAKER_02

Because I love it. It's like like a passion. It's my passion, but I don't have to love everything about it.

SPEAKER_00

Fucking hater, dude.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I've been thinking about it, bro, and I started to notice that I really hate Naruto. But I love it. I'm gonna beat your ass right here where you stand. But like I'm talking mostly the character Naruto itself. Like, I love the anime and I love all the side characters, but Naruto himself is really getting on my nerves now.

SPEAKER_01

Let me tell you something, son. You're talking about a day one ride or die, tough love. I've been watching it.

SPEAKER_02

You can't tell me nothing about it.

SPEAKER_00

You can stab my nigga back, but he'll still give you some motherfucking love, even though I'm ready to pull the mother trigger myself. But you're gonna disrespect Naruto like that?

SPEAKER_01

Fuck yeah. Fuck you. Alright, we're gonna go on to the next one before you got me heated. Uh, Dr. Stone.

SPEAKER_02

What episode am I on? Episode two, I think. You haven't watched it in this season? I haven't been able to catch up yet, no. I just do. You know what I rewatched? But Soul Eater. The whole Soul Eater. One day I sat down and I'm like, what haven't I seen in a minute that I loved? But I still hate that last episode, bro. See, this is what I'm telling you, bro. I love these things so much that I hate it.

SPEAKER_01

Biggest hater of all time of God. Uh soul Doctor Stone, stay focused. Keep focused. How do you like in the new season?

SPEAKER_02

As much as I liked the last season, it was okay. It's nothing, nothing to brag about. But to be honest, nothing to brag about. I could watch it and enjoy it, but I'm not gonna be thinking about it in the next three months after it's done.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I did realize about this now? I realized that a lot of new animes and a lot of new wave of this anime era. Shit got mid. Big time. Like, is it like I feel like I'm tripping, but is it just me where like every new like anime like dude that you see on the internet or see who's hyping up anime and then just waiting for the shit came out, we watch it and then it's over. Bro, all of this stuff is mid now. Like, y'all are crazy to think that like like I really want to go through a list. Like, next, like our next podcast, I'm gonna have a list. I'm gonna have a list of all the animes that everyone hyped up in the last year, and I want you to I just want you truly opinion on if we are waiting on the next season of that. I wanna let you know there have about been 50 to 60 new animes in the last year that dropped, and we don't even give a fuck if they come out for season two, and they probably already did, but it is crazy how mid anime has been in the last couple of years.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know if it's that I grew up or what, bro, but a lot of those animes that would have had me excited when I was younger, they're not hitting no more, especially like fantasy type animes nowadays. There's so many of them. When I was younger, I would have ate them up, bro. But now I'm watching it and there's things I don't like, like the dialogue or or the story is too slow or something like that. So I feel like it's a matter of us growing up and the fact that all shit.

SPEAKER_01

Because you want to know why I say bullshit of that. I say bullshit of that because what did you just re-watch? Soul Eater. What did you love? Soul Eater. What if you rewatched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood? That was a long time ago. What if you rewatched it?

SPEAKER_02

Pretty sure I'll still love it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so we didn't grow up enough to not love motherfucking greats.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, that's what I'm saying, though. When it's good, you know it's good. But there's certain animes that were pretty basic back in those days that you still kind of held a little bit of love for. Nowadays, I can I've been I'm watching like 10 different animes at the same time. I only like like one of them.

SPEAKER_01

They're all plain. I'm trying to remember when I was a kid one anime that I called mid and just didn't care if they came out for another season.

SPEAKER_02

All the ones that I did love that only had one season, by the time they came out with the second season, I could care less. It was so bad.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I can't really think. I won't come up with a list, but I'm gonna tell you right now. JJK, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw, and Blue Lock. That's it. All heavy hitters though. They're all heavy hitters, but that's that's five animes. That's five TV shows that the world wants to watch. We have over a hundred new fucking animes that are being made constantly, and only five of them is everyone's waiting for. So someone tell me what the fuck are we doing wrong here? What's going on? Why is everything mid? There's only five in my like literally those five that I just said are the only five that I can guaranteedly walk up to any person who's watching anime and they can't they're ready and can't wait to watch.

SPEAKER_02

Nope.

SPEAKER_01

Everything else is fucking mid. Sakamoto Day, Spy Family. Is Spy Family even making new seasons?

SPEAKER_02

I don't even know.

Piracy Crackdowns And Industry Shifts

SPEAKER_01

No one knows, but when they do come out, they're gonna get hyped up as fuck. It just makes no sense no more. But whatever. I'm I'm just bullshitting. Bullshitting, making a topic for everybody to fucking talk about and just get fucking annoyed about. On to the next thing. DMZ. What's DMZ? What the fuck is DMZ? Were we high when we wrote this?

My legs hurt. I was ready to go home. You're like, I'm gonna tell you from the beginning to the end before he joins the UFC, bro. I was I was tired.

SPEAKER_00

CM Punk is the best in the world, nigga. But yes, no, I do remember. You had to learn the story of CM Punk to embrace the CM Punk statue of what happened that day. You didn't know what was going on, so I had to slowly but surely show you the ways of CM Punk. It was great.

And Japan and the anime industry is so big that Japan is kind of starting to look at what the US is doing. And you know, these companies out here have very anti-piracy policies. So Japan's like, take care of that for us. So that's one thing we gotta we gotta look forward to. They already took some of the OGs, remember?

SPEAKER_01

I watched ReZero Season 3 returns.

SPEAKER_01

So I guess I'm gonna re-watch Re-Zero. Blue Exorcist. I'm done with you, nigga. No, you don't have season.

SPEAKER_00

You're not happy? I'm just like, I I love this thing so much that I refuse to let it die, but I'm starting to get pissed off.

SPEAKER_02

That's I think I think Blue Exorcist is the only anime I love, which I'm just I'm tired. I'm not even angry no more. I'm just tired. Because I'm watching the new season, it's picking off better than last season, but bro, you lost me so long ago. It's gonna be a battle to get me back.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just stunned, dude. How was that first season so damn good and everything else became so trash? I'm just saying. I'm about to go, everybody just go watch Full Metal Alchemist. We're about to just go back to the classics. I want everybody to go watch Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I want everybody to go watch Soul Eater. Except the last episode. Watch the last episode of your own will. Your own case. You don't have to. You literally can pause it right when the Keishan wins and then it's over. Facts. Game box. It's never coming back, so you can just end it in a gruesome tale instead of a happy tale. Big facts. Um, I might even re-watch Attack on Times. I am so over all these mid-tier animes thinking they're so goatish. I'm over it.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, at this point, I'm just gonna go back and rewatch High School DSD. Pervert. No, listen, listen. Pervert. Not high school DXD, alright. I take that back. I'm gonna watch High School of the Dead. Super zombie pervert. God damn. That was a good action anime right there. That was a good action anime.

SPEAKER_01

These people wouldn't understand, bro. That's how you get someone just canceled like that in the second episode. Son of a bitch, you done it. Son of a bitch, you have done it. Alright, I'm running out of stuff. I just caught up with every topic that we fucking lapped off on. I'm pretty sure I did phenomenal. Pretty sure I did great. Anything else you want to talk about, Buck? Anything that you was on the bounce of your head? I know you don't do shit, but you have to have one thing that you wanted to talk about.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, uh, tell me about what's happening in the in the city right now. Uh, NBA All-Star or something like that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, the NBA All-Star Weekend is happening in the Bay Area. Let's go! Bay Area!

SPEAKER_02

Now we just leaked our location. Thank you for coming to this party.

SPEAKER_01

I am gonna be on a bender tonight. Y'all don't know this, the people don't know this. But after this podcast, you will not hear from me. You will not see me. You might have to call me or send me money. But I will be disappearing, partying in the bay on the all-star weekend. All-star weekend game, you do not matter. Nobody cares about you. No one has ever cared. Like, bro, I haven't cared about the all-star game since Kobe was playing. So, yeah. I don't care about the all-star game, but the vibe in the city? The vibe in the city? Oh, we're about to go ham tonight. We're about to go Yiddy tonight. We're about to go crazy. We're about to do this for Mac Dre. But yeah, do you even watch basketball? Do you even have a basketball team you like?

SPEAKER_02

I got players I like. Oh, the Luca trade, bro. We didn't ever talk about that. I really wanted to talk about that one because that thing talked about the Luca trade.

SPEAKER_01

That thing talk about Luca Trade. We're wrapping up here.

SPEAKER_02

I'm running out of breath. I'm so mad. Nigga, you said two words. But that that that pissed me off so much, bro. This Mavs team wants to go to Vegas so bad, they're willing to throw the franchise away. Because you know, like the on the long-term plan, the NBA wants to have a team in Vegas. Yes. And everybody's doing okay, so nobody's gonna make that move. But when you lose your franchise player for scraps, oh, you're dead. The views are gone. The love is gone. Officially, we're on a clock to see when the mabs is gonna move. Because they got nothing. They got an AD. Do you think they did that on purpose? They had to, bro. Cuban sold the team or majority stake of the team. So he's got no control now. I mean, he's still boss, but this this trade, which is the biggest trade of all time, was then in the shadows. LeBron says he didn't know about it, but you know damn well LeBron knew about it, and he probably made that call. I don't think LeBron knew about it. Nothing relaxes without LeBron.

SPEAKER_01

That's a good thing because the same exact night that the trade happened, he was on a mic saying that we need A D. We can't do this without AD.

SPEAKER_02

But that's too convenient, don't you think?

SPEAKER_01

No, because like if you knew the trade was gonna happen, you wouldn't because like if you knew it was gonna happen that hour, like if you knew it was gonna happen in the next 15 minutes, why would you compliment the nigga?

SPEAKER_02

He traded Westbrook like it was nothing. And he's he's always talking about how he loves his teammates.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but like you you felt the anger between them before they trade happened.

SPEAKER_02

No, I mean, I I get that. What I'm saying is LeBron is is that type of great player who's gonna look at you and tell you he loves you, but then tomorrow you're gone, and he's like he still has love for you. I still love you, you know. You're not here, but I still love you. It's just one of those things. That's why I feel like no matter what, LeBron had to know about this deal. Like, he's he's he has too much power for them to try to make something like this without his go, basically.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I want to just say it. LeBron James is the king, he does whatever he wants. A D, you're fucking old. Have fun in Dallas. Loca. First game, first game in Dallas, no contact engine, bro.

SPEAKER_02

I love it. The Lakers won.

SPEAKER_01

I love it. I love it. I love everything fucking about it. The Lakers are better franchise anyway. Better map Dallas Mavericks wouldn't have you been, bro. No, better.

SPEAKER_02

They went to the finals last season. That's why that's why they traded so loco because they just went to the final. So I know nothing about it makes sense.

All-Star Weekend Plans And Mavs Trade

SPEAKER_01

You were trash ass franchise and you knew you didn't want to be here no more. Bro, if LeBron James retires and has the money to pay for a new team in the league, it's going in Vegas. They want Vegas first. The only way that they were gonna be able to lose their fan base and not make enough money to make the league show that they need to move is this trade. There's nothing else they could have done. Nothing else they could have done. It is this or fucking nothing. Guaranteed. Because LeBron James is gonna have a team by it. By the time he I really do think that LeBron James will have a brand new team. Brand, spanking, tip shine. I will abandon all of my loyalty for all of the NBA teams that I had before this time. For LeBron? For LeBron, Raymond by James. Remember these words because right when LeBron James has his own team, fuck your teams, fuck the Heat, fuck the Warriors, fuck the Lakers, fuck the Hornets, fuck Jazz, fuck Utah, fuck Warwolves. It is LeBron, Raymond by team. The team might as well be called LeBron. Or Raymon. I would love a team named Raymond. I just need a hard ass name.

SPEAKER_02

When was the last time a team was or you talking he's gonna buy a team and then movie, or he's gonna make a team? Make a brand new team. That's a whole expansion, no? Yep. What do you think? I feel like LeBron might convince the NBA to do it. Yep. Fuck. Yep. He might be able to do it, bro. Oh my god, bro. Yep. Yeah. My team. I just came to that realization right now. Yeah. Oh my god. So it's in, basking in, nigga.

SPEAKER_01

Breathing in. LeBron Ramon James will have his own team. We will catch up to the Lakers and the Spurs and Dynasty. We will be the greatest of all motherfucking time.

SPEAKER_00

What the fuck did MJ do? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

He only won six for six, but that's about it.

SPEAKER_00

And he didn't do shit else. That's all you got. That's all you got in your career.

SPEAKER_02

That's all that matters, though. Does it? I mean, he's got what? Now he's got the third or fourth most points in NBA history? Because all I think Durant is about was about 26 points from getting to 30K. I think it was 30K.

SPEAKER_01

LeBron, I think LeBron has the most minutes in NBA history.

SPEAKER_02

The most, the most games, the most everything.

SPEAKER_01

The most scoring points in NBA history. The most minutes in a playoff setting NBA history. The most finals appearance in NBA history. I'm making up shit now because LeBron. He most likely has it. He most likely has it. He most likely has it. He most likely has that last one. LeBron James is the greatest of all time.

SPEAKER_02

He said the only thing he's missing is a defensive player of the year. That's the only thing he's missing. He's got everything else.

SPEAKER_01

I just realized that LeBron James is the greatest of all time.

SPEAKER_02

Let's go, Bucks. Please do something this year.

SPEAKER_01

I need you. Fuck all of y'all niggas. LeBron James or nothing else. When LeBron James leaves, we leave. Right when he brings his team back, we come back. You'll see the magic happen. Alright. Anything else you wanted to talk about? I had fun with that one. That's it.

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna rewatch GTO. What's GTO? Uh great teacher on Izuka. I've talked to you about this one a couple times. It's it's more of an oldie, like a 90s oldie. I'm tired of you watching these classics. I love it.
