See that you can only put you can put a thousand dollars on a Tesla right now and get a Tesla right now. Easy money. Well, nah, but you know. One of these days. Is it wrong that I only want a Tesla just so I can watch an anime on that big ass screen? Or I'm chilling in my car at lunch or something. I watch TV, or that's the only reason why I want a Tesla. Nah, I respect that.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

Eighth episode of a podcast that we are supposedly working on, supposedly getting done, supposedly.

SPEAKER_00 5:51

We'll be here eventually. By the time they listen to this, it's gonna be like three months in an adventure.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

I lost so much fucking money.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

You're telling me, bro. And you know I didn't want to cough up none of it. I'm so I don't know how I did it. I'm thinking it took him a month to get me to to to get on track to do the thing, and then it took you like three months to get on track to maybe cough up the money.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

I'm a fucking genius.

SPEAKER_00 6:21

Hey, I just got tired of all the nagging. That's what I that's what happened.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

Hey kids, if anything can teach you anything right now, this is what I can teach y'all. Nagging will get you far. I'm not gonna lie to you. Let me tell you something right now. I didn't have a studio, I don't even know what this is called, but I'm gonna call it a studio. A studio, a carpet, some chairs, some mics, some this, a little that, a little this, and a little nagging will get you places. Just gotta push the right fucking people. Oh boy. Oh boy, it's fucking hilarious. Are you taking your trip? What trip to base? Oh, WrestleMania? Yeah. Talk with your voice, bro. You're a little quiet. Are you taking your trip?

SPEAKER_00 7:08

My bad. Are you have you decided to go yet or not? I mean, you got what, like a month left?

SPEAKER_01 7:15

Got like three weeks left.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 7:17

Got like three weeks left to decide if I'm gonna go to WrestleMania in Las Vegas. Yep. If I'm gonna spend that money while working on a podcast.

SPEAKER_00 7:28

Money, you don't.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

While paying, while paying bills, while doing all the extra shit, I'm still gonna try to go to Vegas, WrestleMania, and spend about probably. I'm not gonna disclose how much money I will be spending there, but there will be a sizable amount. I can pay two people's rent.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

It's gonna be a couple pennies. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 7:49

I might, you know what? Fuck it, dude. You know, I'm debating it, dude. It's not out the fucking question right now, dude. It's really not. It's not. I'm thinking about it, I'm debating it. I'm trying to like, how much would I lose if I go?

SPEAKER_00 8:04

Oh, you want me to give you like a spitball?

SPEAKER_02 8:06

Yeah. This is a spitball number. How much do you think I would personally lose? Is it gonna be an In and Out on WrestleMania only, or are we talking casino as well? Everything. The whole package?

SPEAKER_00 8:16

You know how the fuck I roll. Yep, yep. Alright, so if we're talking the whole package. Versace, Gucci's, everything. You're spending at least five.

unknown 8:25

Fuck!

SPEAKER_00 8:28

That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. And today's economy. The tickets like at least a grand, maybe two. And then if you want to get all the merchandising and all that. I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_02 8:38

$500 for a belt.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

Get something signed by John Cena. Get something signed by CM Punk.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Hey. Both? You know, you're saying that, you know. Okay, okay. You know, like you gotta do something real, you know? If I'm really gonna do it, let me ball out.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

You're gonna go along.

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Fuck yeah. Why the fuck would I just pay for a ticket to be there?

SPEAKER_00 9:02

This is your first one and it's John Cena too, so.

SPEAKER_02 9:04

Bro, who would pay who would pay for a ticket? Who would pay for a ticket to just be there? Like just literally, you're gonna pay for a ticket that's expensive as fuck to just be there. No merch, no nothing, no memorable shit, nothing that costs money for you to bring out, nothing signed and shit. Bro, you can buy the belt and get a sign there at the same mother time. True, true. It's just Vegas, that's the part that hurts. Oh, that hurts. The after party, huh? Oh, that hurts. Dre's the pool parties. I might be fucked on that part. That's the only thing that scares me, dude. Because I can't control myself when I'm in Vegas. I could never control myself when I'm in Vegas, dude. I try to every single time I try to control myself in Vegas. And then every single time I get to Vegas, guess what?

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Money.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

Don Julio. Don Julio. Don Julio makes me act a fool. But he's funny. Fucking the last trip, what I ran into fucking that rapper Bootsy. Eh, he's okay. A lot of people was around him, though, bro. You went to the Whiskaliface. Yeah, that was like that. That was the summer, though. That was a long time. That was like last summer. We're on new shit. That was like three trips ago.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

Oh, damn.

SPEAKER_02 10:20

That was like three trips ago. Not even thinking about that trip no more. It was a good trip though. It was a fun trip.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

Yeah, no, that's gonna that's gonna run you. That's gonna set you back if you do decide to go. Unless you can make it a WWE only. Like fuck no. But but that's only if it'll probably you'll be able to save. But if not.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

Name one time you made something without. No, no, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Like, you know, going doing the whole package, yeah, it's gonna set you back a lot. A lot. Good luck if you go. You wanna go with me, Buck? No, I'm good. Why? I don't got that type of money. And I don't, I don't, I don't really wanna sit there for 16 hours. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

Bro, it's not 16 hours.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Eight and eight.

SPEAKER_02 11:08

Well, it's kind of like 10 and 10. Because if you're there, you gotta go early and you gotta go walk around, go get some shit, then find your seat. It's like more like 10-10. It's crazy. You bro, you can do it.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

And then we go party at night. Nah, I'm good. Go, bro. I'll be. Bro, we could be outside.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

I'll be so burnt. You don't wanna be outside? I'll be so burnt. Who the fuck don't I want to be outside? In Vegas? Yeah. Like daytime or nighttime? Nighttime. Right after, right after WrestleMania. Does it get hella cold or is it kind of like No, it's hot. It's hot. It's hot. Hot. Yeah, Vegas sounds like my nightmare.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

100 and maybe 105 to 90 degrees at one in the morning.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

I don't like the heat, bro. I'll die. Literally, I'll just melt away or something. Oh, the stadium got air conditioned. Yeah, no, I'm talking outside. Like, the second I walk outside, I'll probably just disintegrate. You'll be fine. I'll go like snap like Thanos.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

Why are you such a pussy? You pissed me off so much with this shit, dude. You make me laugh, but like, come on, dude. You can't handle weather.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

You can't handle cold. I can handle the cold. The heat, though, that's a different beast. It's like my natural enemy.

SPEAKER_02 12:22

Bro, I've seen you so many times bitch about the cold.

SPEAKER_00 12:25

Oh, trust me, I love the cold, but I love to complain about it. But the heat. I can't complain about the heat because I'm just melting away. Okay. But I just like the heat a lot.

JJK vs Solo Leveling: Who’s On Top

SPEAKER_02 12:34

Bullshit, whatever. Bullshit. Alright, what do we really came here to talk about on the rail? JJK and Solo. Oh, yeah, yeah. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Who's a top? I got this. I got this. I got this. I got this. This is more of a question for you, Buck. Oh, I say, I say, okay. So get ready to talk. And like actually talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright. Solo leveling has just reached the peak and broke the internet. Yep. Which I don't really call it breaking the internet, but we're gonna call it the crash crunchy room. Four times. Four times? Like three times. Three times. Whatever. Y'all can count the numbers of crash. I don't respect a crash. I don't respect it. Goku did it, and then all of a sudden everyone can do it. I mean Goku did it back in the day, which was more impressive. No, that's impressive. Like nowadays, it's just like get your servers up where you're just doing this for the fucking hype.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

I don't respect a crash no more. Like, how is a million-dollar company keep crashing when they know everyone's gonna watch it? Shut the fuck up. My real question to you is, and the real thing that I really want you to know is solo leveling is your baby. You talked about this before I even knew about it. Before I even knew what a solo leveling was, you already were halfway done with the book. So I'm obviously gonna give it a nine. It is almost a 10 stature. It is about to be let me clarify for all the new people that's here. A number nine means you're not garbage, it means you're about to become you're right there on the door of being a legacy type of fucking anime. Like you will never be forgotten, type of stature. That's when you hit 10. You're a nine right now, you're looking good. Well, you know, you know, there's also another another nine that's hitting a 10. It's my boy JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen. So, my question to you, Buck, right now, I swear to god, we're about to turn everybody's fire up. Who's really on top right now? Who's really on top? Is JJK the king or is solo leveling the king? Who is the number one anime? We are running the next generation of anime. Who's really the fucking king?

SPEAKER_00 14:44

That's a hard question, man. Because JJK always comes out in a busy season, so that usually means that it's competing with any like top dog. So solo leveling's ducking the smoke. So though solo leveling came out winter season, which is usually the slowest, calmest season. If they both come out at the same time. Who would win?

SPEAKER_02 15:04

If solo leveling came out with their third season, you already know what's about to happen.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

They're such they're both such perfect, like casual animes. I don't give a fuck. No, no, no, but like I'm saying, like, they're both such cat, like great casual animes that if someone doesn't watch a lot of anime, I could recommend JJK. And officially, after this episode, I would for sure recommend solo now. It's gonna be one of my all-time, you're gonna get into anime, boom, watch solo leveling. Officially. First season, I don't really care too much about it. By the second season, though, that's it, it's up there now. But between the two of them, oh man, I feel like JJK just got that untouchable power. But they're both, they're both so close that if we're waiting for JJK to drop that next season, and if solo comes around the same time, we're really gonna be able to get an answer. But I've been avoiding the question this whole freaking time of who is on top. And the fact that we're both still talking about JJK, even though solo is out and it's still about to end right now, I'll probably give it a JJK. I'm just so patiently waiting for that season three. And if they they continue to do what they were doing, which is just give us greatness, easy. Easy JJK on top. And we just now you now we just wait. Now we just really, really wait.

SPEAKER_02 16:29

Thanks for thanks for boring. But you actually gave me you actually gave me an idea when you were talking. You know what's about to happen in season three, right?

SPEAKER_00 16:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

In both sides, right?

SPEAKER_00 16:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:49

Who wins? If they went back to back. No spoilers or anything, like just who wins.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

If Solo gives it to me in a year or in a year or two years, Solo's gonna take it. Because JJK has such a such an inconsistent schedule.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

We're not talking about scheduling. I'm talking about if they both had it ready at the same exact time. They were dropping the first episode at the same exact time. Trailer was dropped at the same exact time. They both went live the same exact time. Who is winning? JJK or Solo.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

I'm gonna give it a JJK. I'm not gonna lie to you. Oh my god, I can't wait for season three. I'm gonna give it a JJK. Just cause it keeps getting better. Because as of right now, what we know for solo is that it's become like an OP moment. You know what I mean? I feel like it's more hype. I mean, I mean Those episodes are slow as fuck. It you're only getting action, though. You're really not getting no stone no world building, none of that. That's what JJK is always good at. But that's why, that's why I feel like when JJK does it and they do give us action scenes, they they're so much more important because they're it's like a peak and in all this landscape. You know what? I actually did realize that.

Side Characters, World-Building, And Hype

SPEAKER_02 18:05

I don't really give a fuck about none of the side characters in solo. Yeah, then we didn't explore any of them. Literally. Holy shit, I don't give a fuck about none of the side characters. I barely remember their names. I know their faces.

unknown 18:22

Huh.

SPEAKER_00 18:23

Yeah, no, solo leveling is the the anime itself is not gonna give you a lot of world building. The world is set, you know what's happening in the world. Now you just get to watch fights. You don't really get to explore the world or the people, none of that. All you care about is the family, just the the mom and the sister. That's all you care about, basically. It's kind of heartless. Yeah. I mean, the anime is skipping all that extra stuff, though. That's why people have loved it so much because it's just action after action after action, and every episode keeps getting better.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

Yeah, no, these fights are crazy. Yeah. What the fuck? They're dope. But I'm just saying, I care more about the elf girl.

SPEAKER_00 19:02

I know!

SPEAKER_02 19:03

That's the only character that they actually explored. Yeah, now I'm thinking about it. I care more about that elf girl than I care about anything else.

SPEAKER_00 19:10

Like, that's literally the only character they've fully explored in in this anime so far. And she's she was only in it for like 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

That's actually crazy. I just realized that that's the only girl, like, that's the only one that's gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_00 19:22

That's why I've been saying, like, I don't want to sound like a hater or nothing like that, but something about I mean I am you are a hater. But something something about season two fell off, and that's when I finally put the the when I connected the dots, I'm like, oh, they're actually skipping a lot. Like they're skipping all the world building, and they're just going to action scenes, which I'm not complaining anymore. I'm good. You know, Solo can do whatever it wants now after it gave me this. You can do whatever you want, bro. You're not gonna hear nothing from me.

SPEAKER_02 19:51

You're the biggest why do I gotta be the bad guy? You're always the bad guy. So we're just so we just don't care. No we don't we don't give a fuck. We just don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_01 20:06

I don't care. Solo, everything else, the world building, we don't care. Do you, baby? Do you? I love you. You're perfect the way you are. You're a hypocrite asshole.

SPEAKER_02 20:17

Okay, I have nothing else to say on that. I guess we don't give a fuck about anybody else. Like, yo, you could die, you can live, you can ride with my boy, but if you're not with the if you're not with the fam, I guess this is mob ties. What the fuck? This is a mob tie anime. You don't care about anything of the world. The only reason you're saving it is because your mom and daughter, your sister's in it. What the fuck is wrong with you?

SPEAKER_00 20:41

No, really, like that that's basically what I'm taking off the anime alone. If it was the manga, it would be a different story, but just the anime alone, that's all I'm getting.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

Okay. Well. I have nothing to say about that. Whatever. I guess I'm the only one that has reason in this building. Like, I'm the only one that got sense. Alright, whatever. Fuck it. Guess I whatever. Fuck it. I'm over it. What we're doing next. The next thing we gotta talk about is oh, this is your UFC shit. You can take over.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

Nothing. Literally. Today it was just Leon Edwards fighting after he lost his belt. Who? He went Leon Edwards. He fought Kamaro Usman.

SPEAKER_02 21:20

Dude, I even care about this guy.

UFC Recap And The Jon Jones Dilemma

SPEAKER_00 21:22

Camaro Usman is cool. Leon Edwards is a very fundamental fighter, but he's very safe. Like everything he he fights is not no aggression, super calm. He's a very low-key person. So most of the time, you really don't. He's not outlandish. You know what I mean? Like he's not gonna be out there, he's not gonna be saying a whole bunch of crazy nothing. He just comes in, fights, and leaves. The thing is, a lot of it fights go to decision. The one time, one of the very few times where he was he stood out like crazy was when he head kicked Kamara Uzman into oblivion. And that's one of the all-time great like knockouts. It was a head kick. But apart from that, he just fought like an hour ago and he got submitted. He went from beating the champ to beating the contender to losing his belt to getting submitted round one by a contender. So he didn't even get an automatic rematch. He just got submitted. Which I'm pretty sad. I think that's it. And then Holly, Molly, sorry, who is your boy Patty the Batty's best friend? She retired. Patty the heck. She just retired. She lost. She lost and she retired.

SPEAKER_02 22:41

Yeah, nah, because you lost two matches after that. That was two, huh? So she said, I'm done. She said she's done.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

Which I don't know, man. You could always come back, but that looks nah. You're done. Yeah, I think you're done, honestly. We're done. Well. What do you do with your life at that point? Because you didn't make it to the high. Yeah, you did. You got to UFC. UFC's pretty high. I mean, I get that, but like, if you can utilize the fan base you have, especially because you're friends with Patty the Batty, she did. No, I mean she couldn't get the title though. I mean, she never really got that far. But she got a fan. She got a fan base, but now I'm wondering what she's gonna do with that. You know what I mean? Like, like if she starts a YouTube or if she starts streaming or like I don't know, something like that, I feel like she'll be able to grow even more.

SPEAKER_02 23:23

You think she should wear stupid glasses like you?

SPEAKER_00 23:27

Anything for the views, bro. Fuck it.

SPEAKER_02 23:29

I don't think those glasses are getting no.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

Bro, it's the picture the they robbed me, bro, because the picture looked nice and full, and then these bastards came out all super small, and you can see the part.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

Yeah, maybe if I didn't get to see your fucking big ass eyebrows, maybe. Don't talk about my forehead like that, bro. I said eyebrows. After the eyebrows, we get a straight avatar fucking cut.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

Dude, I got I got my I got my last airbender style. You know, bro, one of these days just because you're a hater, I'm gonna come in like the avatar, trust.

SPEAKER_02 24:03

That was what I was just about to ask you. If we bet one day, fuck it, could I shave your hair just like the avatar?

SPEAKER_00 24:09

Oh, easy. But you gotta line it up though. Yeah. Because if you if you don't line it up, I get to cut your hair.

SPEAKER_02 24:14

No, I'm gonna fucking pay a barber to do it. Oh, yeah. I'll have him come here.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

No, that's cool. I'll do that.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

I'll have her come here, cut your hair live, and then like it'll just straight look like the avatar. Let me do that. I'll do that.

SPEAKER_00 24:24

I'm so fucking down. I'll be down for that. I'll let my hair grow and everything. I'll let it get nice and big so you can shhh. You're gonna pay for it, right? Of course I gotta pay for it. Okay, perfect. Say less. Pre-haircut right there.

SPEAKER_02 24:34

But if you lose the bet, there's gonna be some contentions. I gotta laugh. You know me. You know me. Like, I ain't never afraid to pull out the wallet, but I wanna laugh. If I'm not laughing, it's not purpose. What's the what's the catch? I'll figure it out. I'll I always figure it out. I always figure it out. And then I'm like, yo, I want this. I want that. I don't want to be, I don't want to give, I don't want to be committed. If I'm committed right now, that means I gotta be committed to the catch. Alright. Just want to wait it out. I like to drag on my catches.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

I respect that.

SPEAKER_02 25:09

Okay. All right. We'll see how it goes. Let's see how it goes. Man, I can't wait to bet again. Betting you is gonna be so fun. It's always, it's always an entertaining level to bet you. Oh, so the real reason why I wanted to talk about the UFC is more we don't, I don't personally care. Like you know me, I'm not really a UFC fan like that. You're a UFC fan, so we just talk about it, talk about it. I just hype up the people I care about. Yep, and you talk about UFC. I don't, I don't even listen. To be on, I'd be very honest with you. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 25:39

Why would you say that to my face as I'm standing here, bro?

SPEAKER_02 25:42

Because I don't say it to you behind your back.

SPEAKER_00 25:44

That's crazy. I'm a podcaster. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

I'm a podcaster.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

Dude, I can't believe this. Dude, I'm a podcaster.

SPEAKER_02 25:50

You're gonna make me cry, bro. Hey, I'm I won't lie to you. When it comes to the UFC conversations, I take that as my five minute smoke, whatever the fuck you got time. I take that as smoke, whatever the fuck's in your hand time.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

Disrespectful, disrespectful.

SPEAKER_02 26:05

It's not disrespectful when it's right.

SPEAKER_00 26:07

No, it's personal though.

SPEAKER_02 26:09

Be better. I'm talking about the UFC, not you. You're just a fan. Make me be more of a fan like you. UFC. But the one I am a fan of is my boy John Jones. John Jones is gonna need six months before he fights. Who in the fuck is he fighting? What the hell's going on? Why do I care? I thought John Jones was retired.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

He's gonna be fighting Tom Aspinall. So right now, the belt is split in two. John Jones is a champ, but there's an interim champ, which means that the belt is not complete or it's not solidified. So when that happens, the champ has to automatically fight the interim champ. But John Jones has got the UFC by the balls, and he can do whatever he wants. Dana, for whatever reason, is letting him do whatever he wants. So he was supposed to fight Aspinall, who's the interim champion, to unify the belt. He didn't do it. He fought an old Steep instead. He won, obviously. And then he's like, oh, I don't want to fight Tom because he's disrespectful. Which Tom is not. He's never said anything like that.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

Who the fuck is Tom? And honestly, I was high and I was smoking while I was doing that. So, like I said, tuned out, but then got interested, and now I want to know who the fuck's Tom.

SPEAKER_00 27:25

He's the guy that he has to fight to unify the belt. Tom Aspinor is the next generation of heavyweight. Who did he wait? Who did he beat? John Blahovich or something like that a couple years ago. No, I'm I think no, I think John is uh light heavyweight. Somebody else. He beat him like like almost a year ago now.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

So they just been winning on this fight?

SPEAKER_00 27:46

Yeah, because John Jones got hurt. He he he he hurt himself, and then after that, he took uh like a year off, and then he's like, Alright, I'll come back. And then when he came back, he was supposed to fight Tom Aspidal, who holds the other side of the belt, but John Jones, John Jones said, no, I'm gonna fight Steve because I already had it up, even though that's not how it works. You gotta unify. So now you got two belts for one division. Obviously, John Jones is the champ, but it's only half a belt because the other half is held by the number one contender. And John Jones doesn't want to fight him unless he gets a lot of money, which he might, and now he says he's not gonna fight him for up to six months.

SPEAKER_02 28:27

It's a lot to take in. A lot to give a fuck about. I'm gonna try to give a fuck about this.

SPEAKER_00 28:35

It's John Jones, nobody cares.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

No, it's John Jones. That's the only reason why I'm interested. Like, that's the only reason why I'm giving this a freaking title or a chance to hear out, is because John Bones Jones came out and said, I need six months to prepare for somebody. And I was like, cool. But every UFC fan was like, this is a traffic. He should release the belt, he should give up the belt. Why?

SPEAKER_00 29:02

Because he was injured for a year. Name who beat him? He was injured for a year. Whenever a champ gets beat, it stalls a division. So that's why a lot of champs, when they get hurt, they give up the belt so the division keeps on moving. The thing is, the heavyweight division is incredibly weak. And the only thing we really got is that Tom Aspino versus John Jones. The thing is, it's lasted too long. Like, if it lasts seven, eight months to prepare and get it over with, that's fine. It's lasted almost two years now. That's too long for a division. Things move quick. And John Jones has held that belt. He's defended it one time, which prop for him, it was against an old fighter who's retired. Although one of the greatest to ever do it, he was retired. He came out of retirement after four years. He beat him, and then it's like, okay, now go fight the other guy who actually holds your belt. And he's like, I'm not gonna do it because he doesn't like Tom Aspinall for whatever reason. Because Tom Aspino keeps telling him to fight him, and John Jones doesn't want to do it.

SPEAKER_02 30:04

So John Jones is scared.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

I don't want to say he's ducking, but he just wants a lot of money to fight him.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

See, I heard that word a lot. Ducking. John Jones ducking. Does that even sound right?

SPEAKER_00 30:15

John Jones is scared of no man, but there that don't sound right. I think there's a difference. There's there's being scared, and there's knowing a fighter is good. And I think John Jones, who's not a natural heavyweight, understands that Tom Aspinal is. Tom Aspinal is like 6'6, 280 pounds. He moves like a freaking light heavyweight. That guy's fast, super strong. And John Jones had this happen one time before when he was gonna fight in Gano, and he didn't fight him because he said, I think he could actually hurt me. And the only way I'm gonna fight him is if I get a lot of money, which he's doing in this time as well. So people are calling him dulking, people are calling him scared. I just said he just sees him as a threat, and he just doesn't want to fight him. Okay, well. See, I was respectful. I was respectful.

The Anime Flood: What’s Worth Watching

SPEAKER_02 31:09

I just don't get why. So there's no clause as being the champion. Like you can give you have to fight this certain amount of day before you have to relinquish the belt. Yeah, of course. Where the fuck is the clause for John Jones? It's John Jones. Damn that nigga. John Jones, bro. That nigga's a GOAT. It's like Connor McGregor. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

SPEAKER_00 31:31

That's a GOAT status. Especially now that Dana White is pushing that GOAT status on him so much that he's not gonna go against him. Not even Connor was safe from Dana.

SPEAKER_02 31:41

That's GOAT status, bro. That is like real GOAT status, like unbelievably GOAT status.

SPEAKER_00 31:45

Especially now that he's getting closer to retiring, he wants to hold him, he wants to make him hold that GOAT status.

SPEAKER_02 31:52

That's fucking crazy. I won't even lie.

SPEAKER_00 31:54

Only John Jones could do that, bro. The UFC has bent the rules a lot for John Jones. This is no difference.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Who would you who would you fight if you got in the octagon?

SPEAKER_00 32:06

I don't think I could fight anybody, bro. I don't think I'll be able to fight anybody. These people are trained. They train three times a day, hours on, man. They kick me one time. My leg is breaking, bro. I'm sorry. Like, I feel like some people are just delusional saying they can be a fighter. Like, these are professionals. Like, they all they do is breathe punches, bro.

SPEAKER_02 32:27

All right, all right, all right, all right. Let's let's be a little bit confident.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

All right, don't go there. Don't not go. This man practices boxing. I could fight one of them, I could take him on. Come on, bro.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

No, no, no, I'll lose. I'll I'll lose. I'll lose. I don't need to say I'll lose, bro. Learning a martial arts is one of the hardest things in the world.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

Martial arts is crazy.

SPEAKER_02 32:45

Now when we're talking about YouTubers.

SPEAKER_00 32:48

Oh, YouTubers? Maybe XQZ, bro. I'll fight XQZ. Oh, he's a streamer, right? He will fuck you up. XQZ will fuck you up. I don't know. I feel like I could take him.

SPEAKER_02 32:59

XQC will fuck you up. XQZ? Will fuck you up. I can take him. You were not no. I can take him. Make a fist.

SPEAKER_00 33:11

Look at those knuckles. He will fuck you up. Look at me, bro. I'm like, I'm like 5'1, 300 pounds, bro. Say your height again. Make sure the people know how high, how tall? I'm like 5'1, bro. Rocking that 5'3 on a good day.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

Fuck you up, dude. When I was saying like YouTubers, I was like more going for like I don't know, you might have to go for high school kids or something.

SPEAKER_00 33:39

Yo, I'm I thought that was like like nah, like someone like speed will fuck me up, though. I'm not gonna lie. Speed will fuck you up. Kai, I feel like Kai could throw hands. Kai will fuck you up. He's small, but he will throw hands out. Like 100%, he could throw hands.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

Fuck sketch will fuck you up.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

I feel like sketch could throw too.

SPEAKER_02 33:58

Sketch will fuck you up. I've seen that goal. He'll fuck you up.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

He's got the tism, the power. Damn, you'll lose to everybody. I I'm not a fighter, bro. I can't fight. I can't fight for shit. Now, if they give me a training camp, you never know.

SPEAKER_02 34:14

They get a training camp.

SPEAKER_00 34:16

I'll be able to awaken my inner beat, nah. Dude. No, no.

SPEAKER_02 34:25

I want to end that right now. No, you will not survive.

SPEAKER_00 34:29

Man, this guy, this guy didn't know me when I was a kid, bro.

SPEAKER_02 34:31

Bro, we try to get you in the gym all week this week.

SPEAKER_00 34:34

I know, bro. Trust me. Now that I'm older, I got no energy.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

Name one time you went to the gym.

SPEAKER_00 34:39

When I was a kid. You're acting like you're 30. Days. You're acting like you're 30. I'm halfway there, bro.

SPEAKER_02 34:48

I'm halfway there. So five years just dug dug into you. Dude, just like that, bro.

I order my backpack so that I can put my my essentials in it and I can just walk for hours on end. You're gonna see me lose weight soon, you see. Wait. You're gonna go walking. I have like a mini mountain close to my home, and there's like a bunch of w seawater around it. It's nice. I like it.

SPEAKER_02 35:19

Sounds nice. It's nice.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

I'll send you a video one of this day.

SPEAKER_02 35:21

Don't you walk any of that?

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Wait, hold on. How many steps have I done today? Today I'm rocking at almost 10k steps.

SPEAKER_02 35:32

I don't have my watch. I literally looked straight down at my hand. I was like, where the fuck's my watch, bro? Forgot I fucking uh it's dead.

SPEAKER_01 35:42

So I left it. Charge it.

SPEAKER_02 35:45

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 35:46

Let me know the day you want to work out, bro. I'll let you know. Let me get my motivation back. I haven't had motivation and a long time.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

What do you need for motivation?

SPEAKER_00 35:54

Once I I feel like once I get my little backpack and I get my move on, I think I'm good to go, bro.

SPEAKER_02 35:59

Trying to figure out what will motivate you.

SPEAKER_00 36:04

Nothing. Nothing motivates me in life now.

SPEAKER_02 36:07

I'll buy you Nimbus on from Fort uh Fortnite.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

Nah, I'm good. Buy me a real nimbus. Nah.

SPEAKER_02 36:15

Who the fuck do I talk to, God? How the fuck do I get you a real nimbus? Who the fuck do I go and talk to to get a real nimbus?

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Man, I that's for you to find out.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

Okay.

unknown 36:31

The fuck.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

Affle.

SPEAKER_02 36:36

What? Trying to make you do new things, man. Puts over like my like thinks I'm God, gonna fucking give him a nimbus out of nowhere. Alright. We're having too much fun right now. Let's go to the next topic. The next topic is bro. Anime is here. About freaking time. Fuck. How long did it take? Like three months. Okay. Three months of bullshit. Hella new anime is here. Like honestly, if I had to all right. There's too much new anime. Hella new anime to even talk about. We didn't even write all the anime that we put on the board.

SPEAKER_00 37:14

We just kind of wrote what we like a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 37:15

You were dead. I mean, I was moving too much. There's no weed. There's no fucking we put the carpet down. I set up the mics. I put the I was working.

SPEAKER_00 37:27

Kind of put me off a little bit. A little bit.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

You set nothing up. That whole ladder almost fell on me, and you literally took five minutes to come help me.

SPEAKER_00 37:39

I heard my name one time, and I'm like, where'd that come from, bro? Next thing I know, I walk behind, and I just see you with the freaking thing on your head, and you're like, grab it. It's about to fall.

SPEAKER_02 37:50

Yeah, again, there is no fucking way.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

Alright, fair enough, fair enough. No, but there's there's so much anime releasing. There's only a couple that I personally care about, and I know that you're excited for as well. But there's so much coming, and a lot of it, unfortunately, might just flow under the radar for us. Kaiju number eight ain't gonna flow under the radar. No.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

Hell no. My hero ain't flowing under the radar. Final season. You're bitch, I will tape you down like that movie. I didn't say nothing. I got a TV back here somewhere. I got a I got something here to get a TV going and shit. I will tape you down in that chair and make you watch My Hero from beginning to end, and we'll watch the final episode together. You are watching that. I promise you. On day you can bet it bet anything. Bet your life. Bet your wife. Bet your children. Bet Lakers and Five. You will see that. Alright. But we got Villain Song. What was it called? The new spinoff for my hero. What was it called? Vigilante? Yeah, you got Village and Ante. You got Chainsaw Man. Did I say how why can I not say Visual Ante? You stuttering, bro. I stutter so much on that word. Like visual ante. Visual anti, visual auntie. Vigilante. Visual ante. Yeah, you go. Visual ante? Vigilante. Visual ante. I could never see you as a visual ante. Like if you were, if you were like, if I was like walking down the street and some big thugs were about to jump me, and I saw you came down with those stupid ass glasses and a fucking cape. And I don't know what the fuck you'll say.

One Piece Dub-Sub Dream And Industry Impact

SPEAKER_00 39:31

Man, I'm too, I'm too short, bro. I wouldn't be able to pull it off. If I was like six something, you could pull it off, but I'm too small. I'm too damn short.

SPEAKER_02 39:38

Fucking come out, nowhere and say like fucking machines. What?

SPEAKER_00 39:49

I don't even know what this guy just said right now.

SPEAKER_02 39:54

Oh no. But now that's gonna be a good anime. You got chainsaw men, you got classroom of elites coming out. JJK is coming back, but we don't know until tomorrow because we need more info. One Piece is finally coming back. The dub and sub is finally caught up. Like, what we're here! The dub and sub is finally caught up. Do you think they're gonna duel cast?

SPEAKER_00 40:15

Oh, that would be awesome.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

Like, that's the one thing I'm a little worried about about all of this right now. Like, do you think now that they're both caught up, dub for dub, bah for bah? Are we getting all the episodes back to back, like dub and sub? Or like is Oda gonna bless us?

SPEAKER_00 40:36

Dude, if One Piece can do it, that would change up the whole freaking industry, bro. Because One Piece is the big guy. Everybody follows the leader. If One Piece comes back and says we're gonna drop dub and sub at the same time, everybody's gonna do it. Like, there's some that won't, but that's just the norm. One piece has been holding the reins of anime for a very long time now. And if they come back and they say we're gonna switch it up, oh no, fuck we we have no bro.

SPEAKER_02 41:07

Even if they gave us sub only, they're still taking over. Yeah, oh there's nothing, there's nothing stopping One Piece.

SPEAKER_00 41:12

This is the first time One Piece has left for this long. Half a year, bro. And everyone's capping. You see all the cap.

SPEAKER_02 41:21

Hey, I won't even lie. Anime TikTok, y'all are some cappers, bro. So many people are hating on, like, oh, solo leveling beat One Piece. Oh, One Piece is the like bro. Come on.

SPEAKER_00 41:31

Just numbers, bro. Numbers. Just numbers. Legacy. I'm sorry, bro. Legacy wise. I love solo, but nah.

SPEAKER_02 41:37

We own your mother, we own your father, we own your house, we own your car, we own your bitch, we own everything.

SPEAKER_00 41:42

There's only five names that you could probably put to compete with. Oda? Maybe. That's even if. Like, it's not even like One Piece is so far, so high up in Mount Olympus.

SPEAKER_02 41:57

Well, the only thing I really care about, don't really care about that part. I just like pussy, I just like pushing buttons. Don't care about that part. The one thing I'm worried about is does that mean we're all gonna get to watch the One Piece at once?

SPEAKER_00 42:09

That would break the fucking internet. Do you imagine if Oda planned it all along? Dude, that'll break the fucking internet.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

If everyone can watch the fucking One Piece getting shown at the same exact time. Oh, that's breaking the internet. Breaking the internet. No, you wouldn't be able to get on anything. I don't know. Like a real break the internet. Now no crunchy roll break the internet. Now no Netflix shut down. You can't watch that shit. You know how many people will try to watch that shit at once? Right when it airs? No one will want to be spoiled.

SPEAKER_00 42:49

Nah, they're gonna they're gonna freaking post everything.

SPEAKER_02 42:52

I'm already worried about the manga readers that's gonna fucking read it and then fucking just have the picture and be like, oh, here it is. See, that's one here it is. That's one thing.

SPEAKER_00 43:02

That's one thing I've always held very close to my heart. Because when you read a manga, you have such an advantage over someone that doesn't, that like you can spoil something automatically. But I feel like that's so sacred. Like, if you read a manga and you respect it, you wouldn't want to spoil it for somebody unless they ask you to spoil it. Like, if I ask you to spoil my hero or some shit, and then you already read it, that's fine because I asked you for it. But if you just spoil it, oh you know, this person died, I'll be like, whoa, what the fuck? Those are fighting words, those are just straight up disrespectful. Like that means you didn't fuck with me. Exactly. That means I did something to you. Like, if I spoil something because I'm excited, I'm telling you, that's all my fault, but at the same time, I didn't do it out of on purpose. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 43:45

How many times did I spoil an anime for you? Not much, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_00 43:49

Because I'm good at that shit. Like, I mean, most of the times when we talk about one anime, you've seen it way before that I don't really care about, or we're both watching it at the same time, or it's something that we're both excited for.

SPEAKER_02 44:00

So usually how many animes have I made you watch that you didn't like Tokyo Revengers is the big one.

SPEAKER_00 44:08

And Read Zero. You don't like Tokyo Revengers? I do not. You don't like Read Zero? I do not. They're both the same type of MC type.

SPEAKER_01 44:16

See, like You didn't like wait, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_00 44:18

Oh, not that I didn't like. I just, it's whatever to me. I could watch it, I could not watch it, it won't change anything. Tokyo Revengers being the big one. I if I watch it or I don't watch it, it don't even matter. With Mikey? Mikey's cool, but there's only two cool side characters in the whole show, personally. Draco and Mikey.

SPEAKER_02 44:42

Breaking my heart, son. Breaking my heart. And you're a Farron fan, too, you I love fantasy, bro. Like, I like powerful characters. Is it because you can never join a gang?

unknown 44:53

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 44:54

Is it because you would have been the Tokyo Revengers main character? No, it's because I don't like weak characters. You are?

SPEAKER_00 45:02

It's an anime, bro. How does it not inspire you though? Naruto inspires me. When Naruto goes, oh, seven tails, that inspires me. When he's destroying mountains, that inspires me. When Luffy's fighting an anime character, that inspires me. You know what I mean? Like, like moments where you're facing a wall, but you could actually fight back. That inspires me. When you're not fighting, when you're trying to fight back, but you're not doing nothing, that's not inspiring. That's depressing. That's all that's on your revenge is. He's trying to fight, which I will give him, but he can never beat nobody, so I get nothing.

SPEAKER_02 45:39

Bro, you're telling me. You can't watch a guy who who fights back again and again, loses again and again. Not if he's crying the whole time.

SPEAKER_00 45:54

Not if he's crying. If he's crying the whole time and saying, I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it. Okay, let me get up. Okay, I can't do it. When he got beat down again, I can't watch that. 23 seasons of that, I won't do it, bro. I already watched two seasons of that anime. It's coming out. I don't care. I might watch it if you tell me to watch it. Well, make you watch it. If it's good, well, I mean, I don't even care if it's good or not, honestly. If you want to talk about it, maybe I'll watch it. If not, I don't really give a shit.

SPEAKER_02 46:24

Breaking my fucking heart. Dude, you like Overlord. Like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_00 46:32

That's what I'm saying. I like a character that inspires me because they're they're fighting and trying to break the they're trying to fight back. The thing is, you like that type of character which is weak but has such a big heart. Yeah. I don't like that. I don't like when a character is super weak, even though they have a big heart, because it makes me feel like they can't do it. I like a character who is strong and has a big heart. Like everything we've ever known and loved, they're all like that. Even if they're not the most powerful, they always have a great heart and a big heart.

SPEAKER_02 47:06

Alright. Nigga, you getting deep over here.

SPEAKER_00 47:10

No, nothing like that.

SPEAKER_02 47:11

Preaching. He's like, he's like, damn, I can't do it. Well, fuck you too, nigga. No, I share preference, but I respect it. No, I respect the two. I respect it. But it's just more of the fact of the matter is those are two good animes, and you just hating.

SPEAKER_00 47:33

But I feel like you're hating. I I watched a season and a half of ReZero, bro. That's like 30 episodes. Trust me. I I was frustrated in the first episode, and I was frustrated in episode 32.

SPEAKER_02 47:45

I'm gonna stop talking to you right now. Just over talking to you right now. Over it. Alright, freaky. Hey, still on One Piece though? How do you feel about the spin-off that's coming out? What's going on about that?

SPEAKER_00 47:57

It's like a love story, bro. All this says is a love story. Wait, wait, what? Yeah, it's a spin-off love story written by somebody else that just has One Piece on it. Which I don't know. Is it out? No. They just they gave us like a visual, which is like one picture basically. I don't even know if they dropped the trailer. I just kind of saw it and I'm like, oh, it's one piece, but then it's like a spin-off. Is the manga out? I think so. I don't really do too much research into it. Because I saw it was written by somebody else. And if it's not Oda, I don't know, man. I don't know. Sketchy. Nervous. Makes me nervous. Hmm. Now we wait.

SPEAKER_02 48:38

I'm acting serious, but I'll be honest with you, I smoked way too much.

SPEAKER_00 48:44

He's overthinking everything over here.

SPEAKER_02 48:46

100%, bro. Every time you talk and I get a chance to breathe, it is probably gonna be something.

SPEAKER_00 48:53

But hey, at least One Piece is coming out with two episodes back to back. Oh, I'm excited about that. Back to back.

SPEAKER_02 48:59

That's gonna be dope, but do you think they're gonna they're gonna do the sub and dub? That brings me right back to the beginning of our conversation. I really hope they do. Beginning of our conversation. I really hope they do because if one piece is.

SPEAKER_00 49:09

Is it gonna be just sub or is it gonna be sub and dub? In my heart, I feel like it's gonna be sub, but in my dreams, I hope it's sub and dub. Because if they do it, everybody else is gonna follow. Like I'm saying, One Piece is the big guy. Whatever the big guy says, everybody else follows. If One Piece makes it the norm, that's it, bro. The whole industry is gonna change. And I really hope they do. Because I love I really hope you love having both options.

SPEAKER_02 49:36

Like, let me talk to y'all real quick. I don't even know if TikTok's still on. I don't really give a fuck. This is real solo. This is real personal right now. Solo fans, JJK fans, demon slayer fans, kaiju number eight fans, chainsawman fans, fireforce fans, black clover fans, Hunter X Hunter fans. Y'all won't know what a takeover is, is if sub and dub, One Piece, the back to back, six months hiatus never happened before. Watch how hard that head. So badly, people are just talking about the last episode still. Y'all ain't ready if that goes sub and dub. If I'm able to be like, hey, new episode. Ah sub. Nah, sub and dub. What? Turn that bitch on. And I can go week to week, bar for bar. Sub can't spoil. Y'all can't pull none of that big boy older brother shit. Like, read a book. Nigga, I just want to watch the anime. So I get to watch the anime at the same time. Like, y'all, y'all can't say nothing. I'm gonna be hyped. Oh man, that felt good. But I'm telling you, it's gonna be a moment. So I really hope they do it. But if they don't, I understand. I'm dreaming. Okay. But if they do, watch what the fuck happens. If they do, watch what goes down, Buck. I promise you, no one's ready for that but me. I'm ready for that. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 51:25

Now we wait. Now we really wait.

SPEAKER_02 51:26

Oh, I dropped the mic there.

SPEAKER_00 51:29

You can't back that up, Buck. You said it. You said it. I'm hopeful they do it.

SPEAKER_02 51:34

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00 51:34

I really am hopeful.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

Well, sorry that I'm fucking dope. Fuck you. Anyway. Anyway. We have so much anime that's coming up that's unbelievable that's coming up right now. It's actually ridiculous. Ridiculous. We watched like 15 trailers. There's 50 trailers that dropped today.

SPEAKER_00 51:56

And that's the first half. Tomorrow is the second half. Tomorrow they're dropping the big guy.

SPEAKER_02 52:01

How much mid was in those trailers?

SPEAKER_00 52:03

Most of it, to be honest. There's like there was like a handful that I really was curious about.

SPEAKER_02 52:07

There was five that I cared about. The cowboy beepop one, the blood one, and like there was another one that was a new one that I cared about. It was the one with that black cat. Forgot of the name. But there was Black Torch. Black Torch. Like those were the three that I cared about. You had 50 anime trailers dropped today, and half of them were either ass or mid. Yeah. Don't even know how half of these made it anime. Whatever happened to the level of grade of getting an animation. Whatever happened to that, like I thought every anime can't get a fucking book.

SPEAKER_00 52:40

All the ones you want to get an anime, they don't. For whatever freaking reason, when you read a good manga or a good light novel, those don't get turned into an anime. Some shitty reincarnation as a fucking rock gets turned into an anime.

SPEAKER_02 52:55

Don't hate on slime. I love slime.

SPEAKER_00 52:57

Trust me. I was like, don't disrespect slime right now. The one, the most outrageous one I ever read was. I didn't even see it. I just read the title and I'm like, I know you watched this one.

SPEAKER_02 53:07

Reincarnated as a vending machine. I will beat your ass, dude. If I ever see another title reincarnated as a toaster, reincarnated as a vending machine, reincarnated as mom's couch, reincarnated as the sofa of my dead grandpa, reincarnated. What the fuck are y'all doing?

SPEAKER_00 53:29

I don't even fucking know, man. This fucking story got thrown out the window.

SPEAKER_02 53:33

Like, I feel like one day y'all just was sleeping and y'all said reincarnated! Like what the fuck? It's over the top now. I will be the one to say it. Stop it. Stop it. I don't need no more spiders. I don't need no more scorpions. I don't need no more hamsters. I don't need no more gelatin. I don't need no more sofas, guitar, ocean, lake, moon, sun, earth, ground, fucking air. Why the fuck are y'all all just reincarnated as objects for no fucking reason? Slime? You're okay. You get away with it. Yeah, slime, I don't give a fuck. Do what you gotta do. Like, I honestly love you, slime. Slime and the spider girl. So I fuck with the spider girl too. If you ever watched that one. Uh the girl that got reincarnated as a spider. Both of those two. Fuck with the all two. Everybody else, get the fuck on. I'm done.

SPEAKER_00 54:31

I'm really done. I'm gonna like, this is ridiculous. Nah, dude. Those those reincarnated ones got completely out of pocket, dude. All I really cared about was slime, which was like a big thing. You know what I mean? Like when it first came out, it was a big one. Cause it had good characters, it had a good story. Bro, now they just whatever says reincarnated, they'll fucking make it.

SPEAKER_02 54:52

Like, even solo leveling ain't a reincarnated. It's like they take a kind of a basement off the reincarnated, like, you know, because like, you know, the awakening type.

SPEAKER_00 55:01

Like a like a literal reincarnation, basically. Yeah, like a literal, legitly reincarnated. Not like a summon to another world reincarnation. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:08

Writers, do better. Yep. Like, I don't know how hard that shit is. Do better. Like, how hard it is to say, oh, I want to reincarnate something, then fucking reincarnate it in a smart, educational way that I can't fucking think of it. This is word for word, bar for bar. Soja boy, tell him. Y'all really do the same fucking shit. All of y'all, I'm done. I'm really done with the reincarnated. Reincarnated, I'm gonna just turn on fucking Kendrick Lamar and just listen to that. I'm done with reincarnated. Reincarnate!

SPEAKER_00 55:42

I'm done. And it sucks because most of these reincarnations don't even have good animation to like back it up at all. Most of the time they're stale and they're weak, they look ugly. And a lot of the times they just have reincarnation as a title, and usually it's only because they're a light novel. But apart from that, you got nothing, bro. All these reincarnations have absolutely nothing. I'm just waiting to the day where being reincarnated to another world becomes great again. Like slime. Give me another, give me another story like slime, bro, where the characters are likable, the side story, the stories are good, the world is interesting. Give me another one of that. If you can't give me none of that, keep your stupid reincarnation as a pebble. I don't want to see it. Tired of it.

Demon Slayer Movie Release Timing

SPEAKER_02 56:25

Let's wrap it up real quick. The last thing that we had to talk about before we wrap it up. Demon Slayer, the movie, is coming out. Buck, I can't see it because it's on your side of the whiteboard.

SPEAKER_00 56:35

Can you read it out further, please? Yes, so the Demon Slayer movie is getting a July Japan release. Sorry, twisted that one. It's getting released July and Japan exclusively. And then after that, it's coming down to the USA for a September release. Okay, so in the USA Up until September. Which I'm guessing that's gonna be more theater-wise, but I think Crunchyroll is gonna drop it the same day as Japan. No. No? No. So they actually wait?

SPEAKER_02 57:04

Uh-huh.

unknown 57:05

Jeez.

SPEAKER_02 57:06

100%. 100%. Are you out your fucking mind? I don't know. Do you know how much money they'll lose if it goes on Crunchyroll? Do you know how much money they're gonna lose if it gets to the pirates before them? They want you to watch that shit on camera. No! Hell no! So when does it come out in Japan?

SPEAKER_00 57:27

July. This year. Or right around the corner. Right around the corner to going back to seeing a lot out.

SPEAKER_02 57:35

You know what's some bullshit about that? You're telling me when it's America's Independence Day, they get the Demon Slayer movie and we don't. Oh, that hurts. It's Japan, bro. That hurts. They don't like us. Oh, that hurts. That hurts. Oh my fucking soul right there, bro. Honestly, died a little bit. A little bit.

SPEAKER_00 57:57

They don't like us like that. How hyped are you about this movie? I'm pretty excited. I'm gonna go watch it when it comes out. I'm gonna I'm gonna. I mean, this is eight.

SPEAKER_02 58:07

Nah, we're gonna watch this together. We gotta start making content together. So that means we're gonna have to do the planned hangouts. This is this is the end days. I drag you to movies you don't want to watch. I drag you to shows you don't want to watch. I drag you to drive-throughs you don't want to be at. I drag you to fucking cons you don't want to go to. Bro, you don't like shit. So I honestly assume that like half the shit we go to is shit me dragging new places. It's not. I will have fun no matter where we go, as long as there are cameras in front of us. So like if we even if we're going fishing, I will figure out a way to make this fishing day the most greatest fishing day possible.

SPEAKER_00 58:46

No, like for me, I've never fought. You will not catch a single fish with me. I've never, I never I don't be catching fish either, bro. I just go there for the peace and quiet. You will got no peace, sweet. Hey, you better not be ruining my fucking fishing trips. That's all I got. I'm warning you now. Because I'll drive home and I'll leave you there. I'm warning you now. That's all I got, bro. You will not have no peace. So we're gonna go there for the peace and quiet and the nature and the connect with nature. Do we have to dress up? Nah. All you gotta do is put some nice sunscreen, wear some jeans because you're gonna get burnt. Nice shoes, comfortable shoes that you can walk and buy a hat and a bunch of sunscreen and glasses because uh the freaking sun reflects off the water and it's hot. And the jacket, just to, you know, cover your skin as much as possible. Last thing you want to do is get sunburnt. So most of the time I just cover myself up like crazy because you go, you get sunburnt, hot, it hurts. It hurts. So just basically think you're gonna cover your skin.

SPEAKER_02 59:47

Like sometimes I can't take advice from you when it comes to like pain.

SPEAKER_00 59:52

Nah, I just sometimes I don't be I don't wear sunscreen, so I get sunburned a lot. So it's starting to s damage my skin. But I feel like every Everything hurts you. Nah, sunscreen is different. That shit that shit hurts. Like it. Burns. Sunscreen. No. Sun damage. Sunburn. Sunburn is a different animal.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:16

You will be the most fragile creature on the internet ever. I wanted to do a game with you, but we're gonna save that for the next episode. It's gonna be a fun thing. I've been seeing it on TikTok a lot and a lot of people doing it. And I want to do it by anime version.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:31

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:32

It's gonna literally just be an anime version. Like a QA? Like a QA? Fuck no. Well, fuck no.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:39

It's gonna be$15 or less. Oh dog. Can you answer this correctly? Nope.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:45

Yeah, yeah. Like, will you survive? So let's say Hunter X Hunter, King of the Ants with the army. You got$15. Who, how much like could you survive? Like, I'm gonna give you categories, and you gotta use$15 to survive that attack.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:00

Nah, I'll be dead right away, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:02

You're gonna have something to save you. But like in the all-gram scheme of things, it's more like, could you mint balance$15 to save you? Obviously, the fifth the$5 one will be the most expensive. Then$1 will be the most Yeah, no, I get it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:20

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:21

Like I'm gonna give you chopsticks for a dollar. And like fuck it, like five, you get bleach, you get Ichiko's size if you pay five dollars. I feel like you have a chance if you get Ichiko's size. You heard Bankai so much, you can learn that. Fuck it. Fuck it. And then if you get a tag team partner that can match your skills with the size, you know. You're good to go. You might have a chance. Not a big chance, but you might have a chance. You never know. You never know. Never know. But anime's about to go crazy. I swear, anime's gonna go crazy this month. We're gonna have hella anime to talk about, hella big news, hella hypedness. We're gonna have to give the hype it deserves, and then we're gonna have to give the bullshit that the bullshit deserves. We're gonna have to be the voice of the voiceless, bro. Every anime ain't a fucking gold digger. Every anime ain't that. A lot of this shit is just bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:16

I don't even know why the fuck y'all even consider these anime sometimes. I'd be looking at y'all, I'm like, yo, nah. Maybe this, maybe that, but nah, not that. Not that. That's a mid-tier, mid-tier, mid-tier. You wanna know why there's a lot of mid-tiers in the world? Because it's hard to be fucking great. It's hard to be great. Isn't it? Isn't it hard to be great? Don't the fuck? We didn't like if it was easy to be great, how many animes will we have?

SPEAKER_00 1:02:44

Fucking crazy shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:45

If it was easy to be great, we will not still be depressed about the soul eater ending. Just saying. It's hard to be fucking great. Fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:52

You could be mid studios.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:54

You could be mid. Mid always can be mid, but you know, everyone can watch a mid fucking show. JJK, you great. Solo, you great. Demon Slayer, you great. I can't wait to watch any of this. I can't wait to watch the Demon Slayer movie. The movie's about to be fucking crazy. I'm excited for Fire Force. Fire Force.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:11

It's just it's gonna split it into two. So I'm nervous.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:14

I'm just excited. I'm just excited for an actual ending. Season two wasn't an ending, and I wasn't satisfied. Like I would have been satisfied with season two, and like the show's over if it was a great ending in the season two, and like shit went off, shit popped off, blah blah blah blah. It all wrapped up in a big season two ending. But because you made me wait so long, and this is gonna be the last one, and you're gonna cap it all off. It better be good, dude. Like it, like that's all I want. Because you were at the peak when you came out, everybody was using you. You had the perfect time to drop when the LA fires came out. Hope everybody's okay with that one. Joke, so too soon?

SPEAKER_00 1:03:54

Too soon.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:56

It's gonna take years for them to build that shit. I'm gonna make a joke or two. It's gonna take years. But I don't think it's gonna be. I don't think I like it's gonna be hype. Obviously, people are gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch it.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:09

Man, the the way records are being broken nowadays.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:12

But let's remember when you came in, who was here, who was there when you were here?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:16

No.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:17

My hero? Black Clover.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:20

That's tough fucking competition. That's tough.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:24

I know. Hold on, hold on, let me think. There was one more there. Barta. Yeah, but you did not just do that to Baruto. Oh, you did not just do that to Barto, you ho.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:49

Oh, that's funny. Um, but yeah, nah. Nah, dude, this is it. We're finally gonna be getting off that freaking ice age we just had. Dude, for us to start at winter time when there was nothing but solo, nothing, it's crazy. We could not have chosen a worse time to fucking really start. But we didn't have no time to waste. That was actually the perfect time to start. Like it, I feel like at the same time, it was bad because we don't have the content we wanted, but it was good because now that we had no content, we know how to go around it. So that we when we do have content, we could just go fucking crazy and get it. Yeah, because I don't really need it all now.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:26

Yeah, we could just go lose. I don't really need all your fucking content. Yeah, I kind of just want to talk and fuck around with you for a minute. Yep. Make laugh, hear about your fucking dark times of your childhood, all the times you fucking walked home and had your rock willy. You know, all those fucking dope times. Like those are the fun times of this podcast. We'll get there. We'll get there eventually. We're doing great. Honestly, I like the fucking room of this place, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:50

Dude, it looks dope. I always like it because even though we're here and we know how everything looks, when it's on a camera angle, everything looks like it was put there for a very specific purpose. And everything looks like all set up, and it's like that's. Why are these cameras in here?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

Like, they're like, what are they doing? Why is there a fucking what's going on here? So I kind of like how my room is looking right now. The podcast room is actually looking pretty dope. I wish we were still live on the fucking TikTok, but you know, fuck it.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:16

Now we know.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:17

Now we know. Gotta get some better better mics. Better. No, probably we gotta actually play with it. One day we gotta just sit there and make a TikTok. Actually, we'll make a TikTok. Um, we'll make a TikTok before we leave today. We'll do the fucking get jiggy. One, two, step in the box, get jiggy. Well, three tap tap in the box, get jiggy. I hate you. Learn memes.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:39

I don't even know what you're watching.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:41

I can't like what do you do all day?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:46

Fucking die. You die.

unknown 1:06:50

God damn it.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:51

I'm watching TikTok. I'm watching TikToks, but I'm only watching the ones I like so I can upload them.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:56

Later?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:57

Yeah. I get that. So I can upload them. Like, that's that's all I've I've done since I was in high school, bro. I just watch videos that I like so I could be like, if I repost this, someone will like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:08

You know who I'll like a hater. I'm a hater. I agree. Yeah. Why do you think you got that spot? Why you think you're sitting in that chair? I think you're the only person in anime history that you'll hate on every single thing, but love it at the same time. Who the fuck does that? I can't even have one conversation with you about like one example. One Punch Man. I don't like to keep bringing up One Punch Man, but everyone in the arena of anime will agree that One Punch Man is a great anime. You're the only person I know that looks at season two with disgust on your face. Everyone will say it's okay or great, or it was like CGI, but it was great. You're the only motherfucker that will look at me dead in the eyes and say, This was trash. This was terrible. This was awful. I can't believe they'll do this. How would they even let this out of the fucking box? Well, who the fuck is wrong with you?

Naruto, Kakashi Respect, And Character Growth

SPEAKER_00 1:08:17

Don't don't let me put words in your mouth. Say them with your chest. It's all about wasted potential. That's the reason I there's so many shows I dislike, and so many shows. Like, I love a show, but the more I love it, the more I dislike the things I don't like about it. Like Naruto. I love Naruto and I like all the side characters. I don't like the main fucking three. I like Naruto, he's cool, but the older I get, the less I like him. You know who I like the most now? Fucking Kakashi. I hated Kakashi when I was a kid. I loved him, but I disliked him because he chose the emo ass fucking Sasuke over Naruto. Yeah. But now that I'm older, I'm like, yo, Kakashi was just trying his fucking best, man. That motherfucker had nobody. Nope. He was just doing the best he thought he could do. His fucking he didn't have a dad. He didn't have a mom. Everybody he loved was taken from him. He was just doing the best he could. And I'm like, that's some real fucking shit. Like now that I'm older, I understand that. And now that I look at Naruto as a character and I'm like, you fucking dumb as a rock, bro. You're really dumb. But if you gotta fight, you would throw hands with fucking anybody, your IQ is off the charts. But life to day to day, you stupid as shit. And that's why it makes me so mad because I'm like looking at someone like Sasuke, who's actually really fucking smart and cool at the same time, and looking at someone like Naruto, who's really fucking smart when it comes to battling, but not in his every day-to-day situation. I'm like, if you just gave me a little bit more of like a like a common sense, it's game over, bro. You're a great fucking character already. Imagine how much greater he would be if he had common sense.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:01

I won't lie to you. I tuned out in the last five minutes of this speech. I really did tune out. I don't know why I did, but I straight up did tune out. You were talking about Naruto, right? I don't even remember no more. What's next? Love you, buddy. Love you, buddy. Alright. Actually, that's actually about it. We're about to wrap it up. The only thing I want to wrap up with you, Buck, is um a little close thing. Close thing to my heart. Close to my nature. When the fuck are you gonna finish Baruto? Oh god, I don't even know, bro.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:42

I'm like just finished it already. Dude, I was like in episode 10 when I stopped. The second time I tried rewatching it, bro. Finish it. We're looking at I'm looking at what 300? 400? 500?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:57

500 episodes. Dude, it's gonna take me like all fucking year, bro. Finish it.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:04

Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:05

Don't watch the read. Watch the movie and then jump 100.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:08

You can tell me how much you love it, bro. I just listen to you talk, bro. I space out. I'll space out when you're talking about Berudo, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:15

You need to watch that, bro. That's your that's your fucking boy's kid.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:21

What would Jariah think of you? See, that's another thing I hate. But I only hate it. I don't love it. I just hate it. I just fucking like despise it. Waste of potential.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:32

You don't get your ass and watch the fucking show.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:35

Dude, watch it. I told you this, but I'm waiting on you right now, but I told you this, but the time I stopped watching that fucking show was when I figured out that Sakura is the best character in the whole show. Up until like episode 70 or some shit. She's like the best fucking character in the whole show. And I was like, I was like, how far have I fallen, bro? That I'm looking at Sakura now. And I like her. That was crazy. That's when I noticed I was losing it. Sakura's dope. You're a hater. See, she's the reason I'm a hater. She's the real legit. She is the real legit reason why when people dislike anime characters. It all starts with her. It all starts with her.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:27

None of what you hate on makes sense in logic. I just wanna do you know that? Do you do you understand that? Oh yeah. Okay. As long as you understand that. Well, your boy's getting tired.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:39

Any last words for the people buck? I'm tired. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna finish Sakamoto Days. Which is a great series. It's a great series. Sakamoto Days is a great series. It's gonna be a good one that I'm gonna recommend people. Because the second season, the second season is coming out July, if I'm not wrong. It's not up on the wall. We didn't put it up there? No. We ran out of space. We had so much things to talk about today.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:07

We did have so much things to talk about today. But Sakamoto Days is good. Sakamoto Days was good. Okay. Well, Sakamoto Days is a mid-tier anime for me, but it was great. I liked it. I enjoyed it. It passed the time, so you can always watch that one. I will always respect Sakamoto Days. Other than that, Buck, I hate your glasses. Get new glasses. Thank you, sir. Community, I love ya. I appreciate you. Like, follow, do whatever you have to do. Smoke a joint or two. I don't really. What you got to say to him, Buck? I'm tired. I'm exhausted. It's been a long day. Alright, Buck. Just the same shit. Go back and go take a fucking nap.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:43

Nah, that's fine.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:57

Get the fuck up. Why are you already dead?
