The last episode, I wanted to go back and listen to it because we haven't seen each other for a minute. The last episode was so funny and crazy and unpredictable that I think I actually like it more than a lot of the stuff we just rehearse.

I hope you avoid all of the drama that's in your life and that's on the internet. Boom, boom, boom. Book, how was your week?

SPEAKER_01

All over the place. I got sick earlier in the week. And I had the flu, like strong flu for a couple days. I'm finally recovering. And I think once I recover from dates, I'll be good all year. Up until next year comes around, and then I get sick again.

SPEAKER_03

That was a long worded way to say I'm good. You son of like you're not gonna loophole me in the Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, no, no, you're not loopholing anybody. That was just a long-worded phrase of it's a good week, bro.

SPEAKER_03

A little sick. Like, you know, you could you try to enhance it to be like, oh yeah, my week was tell me your week, motherfucker.

Weeks From Hell And Random Bills

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so we just my roommate, my roommate's girlfriend just had some family members come over. So today, actually. I thought you said she was gonna have a baby. I was like, oh, that's funny. No, so today we went up to the city and then we were just kind of like, you know, checking out the whatever, the looks over there and everything. And then obviously, time time up, time was up, so I had to come down and do the record the my the pod. But as I was coming here, I had to use the bathroom. Just regular number one. But I hit traffic, so I was stuck in traffic for like an hour, and then by the time I finally got here, I went to the bathroom and then I passed out. So I took my nap. That's when you got in here, and you're like, why is it so dark in here?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, first of all, I did not I did not yell. Don't act, don't let them think that I'm a tyrant because they already assume on these podcasts that I bully you constantly. Please help me. I walked in here, the lights were off, you were sitting in a chair, snugged up with a cover in the studio, passed out.

SPEAKER_01

It was freezing in here, too.

SPEAKER_03

There's a heater. I had to come in to turn the heater on. I don't know what you were doing here.

SPEAKER_01

I sleep the best when it's cold. That's the best time I get sleep when it's cold. So that that was a great power nap I just got. So I'm I'm up, I'm energized, I'm ready to go. How was your week?

SPEAKER_03

Buck, my week was stressful, but you always top it of like my stress levels. Like I have stress levels of life, and there's a lot of stressing in my life. You somehow, someway, always make it to be the top one of my stress levels. And you're a brilliant person to do it, Buck. And they call me the bully online. You're the motherfucking bully in this partnership. You're the one that antagonizes me, and you're the one that pisses me off a lot.

SPEAKER_01

I just I I just do what I do and I say what I say. I don't mean it to come off that way.

SPEAKER_03

You see how you say it like a dick? What? You see how it comes out? What do you mean I can't?

SPEAKER_01

Like you do you hear yourself saying the dick missing? I literally just said I'm just being me. Is that what you're trying to say? You can't be me. No, no, I'm I'm trying to be me. But me antagonizes you. Alright, alright. I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to turn it up sometimes.

The$986 HOA Bombshell

SPEAKER_03

See, see if we can get you to see this, see the fun part is to do it now when we don't have a lot of money. Because when we do have sponsors and a lot of money, and I get promoted to bully you, I'm gonna enjoy it a lot more. I'm gonna enjoy it a lot more. Anyway, my week was terrible, Buck. It is the it's November, so it's Thanksgiving time, you know, time for family and stuff. So you know I'm getting ready for family, getting ready to kaching, kaching, kaching. The kachinga train is coming. And let me tell the viewers this every person there that has a little sister, every person out there that has like a little sibling that you love, you adore, you will fight tooth and nail for anyone that hurts them. I know a lot of people here can relate. Buck, you can relate, right? I can relate, yeah. You can relate. Everyone here can relate with that. When I tell you that my sister is on my last one, it is because of the last stunt she just pulled. No, if it was anybody else, dead to me. Sister, ah, you we'll fix it. I promise you, that little princess has a day of reprimanding that's going to come to her. She's still the little princess, but let me tell y'all this story real quick. So I get home on Monday, chilling, relaxing, vibing after a tough day of work, thinking about the podcast and my streaming days. I want to get back to streaming, so I started hooking up the streaming things again, all that settled, right? While I'm in the shower, listening to some Kanye West, I get I get a mail like from the mailbox. My brother comes in, gives me the mail, right? I read this, and then I get a whole bunch of emails, five at once. I don't know what is going on, but I open up the emails first before opening up the mail. So I open up the email, it is my H O A people. Yeah, you hear you feel your heart beating? Damn. You feel that? You feel that? That little heart beating? So you skip? Yeah, there you go. And then I was like, huh. Then right when that happens, I get a text from my landlord. And I'm wondering, what can there possibly be? I already paid them their money. There's no way they're asking for no more money. I opened that mail and I shit you not. I promise you, every person that works every day, not the streamers, not the podcasters, every person that works every day. When I opened that mail and it said it was for$986.60 for a repair for a light pole being in a swimming pool has to be paid immediately. I wanted to hurt somebody. So at first, I won't even lie to you. I won't even lie to you, and I won't lie to the people at home and the people out there. I immediately pulled out my racism card. I immediately pulled that shit out like it was no tomorrow, bro. I was like, hey, it might be because I'm black, it might be because we're the only black family here. I don't know. We didn't do this shit. I stood 10 toes down for whatever the situation was. I knew my family was not stupid enough to break a lamp, like uh, a lamp, what do you call those things? Lamplight? A lamp light, a lamplight outside, drag it into a pool and throw it in that bitch. There is no way anybody in my fucking family is that incapable to do that in their own house. I forgot I had a little sister. I completely forgot I had a little sister. That she doesn't think she thinks you think I hold up, hold up.

SPEAKER_04

You think I think money falls from trees? Bro, she thinks money grows from grass.

SPEAKER_03

Like if you hate my spending habits, if you can't take my unhabit spending habits, meet my sister. My sister will bury you in just debt. I don't know why we're talking about this so much, but I thought it was a funny ass story. And I would just want to tell. Terrible week. The honesty of terrible week, definitely. Little sister, I love you. We'll scratch it off to a mishab. You know, if it was anybody else, I'll sh-mm. We're not gonna talk about what I'll do if it was anybody else, and I could do my little sister, love ya. Mad as hell right now. Just need some minute, need some time to vent, need some time to cope. 980. Ha ha ha bro, bro. I want you to come home on a Monday with that type of random bill in the middle of the month.

SPEAKER_01

Heart attack automatically.

SPEAKER_03

You tell me that was Monday.

SPEAKER_00

Damn.

SPEAKER_03

So yeah, my week has been shit. You know, it's been shit, and it's always because of somebody else, but whatever. Sometimes because of me, but sometimes because of someone else. Who cares? So, how who won this week, Buck?

SPEAKER_04

Damn, I'm gonna be a big one. You being sick or me being Yeah, no, I'd rather I'd rather be sick two weeks in a row than have to pay that type of cash.

SPEAKER_01

Hell no. I'll take a month, bro. One month. Like, I'll take a whole month, bro. Hell no. Hell no.

SPEAKER_04

Before you could do anything on me. You ain't a sick. You not six, not seven, not eight, nine, nah.

SPEAKER_03

I know the I know the popular podcast people, and I know the streamers and whatever the famous people don't, they don't understand how much that hurts in a month. That hurts regular people. Regular people, when that happens to you, you're just like, damn. And it's my own blood.

SPEAKER_01

No, that's I can't even hit him. Dude, that's a straight, that's a straight heart throb. Like heartbreak right there.

SPEAKER_03

No, it was just it was just a funny ass, it was just a funny ass week, and I paid a lot of money. So when you talk about money problems and you talk about, oh, yeah. Still save some money for this though. What I want to talk about today is who won this week?

SPEAKER_00

Who won this week, Buck? Yeah, you you you definitely had the worst type of week than me. Definitely. I just wanted to I just wanted to hear you say it. Yeah, no. I'm in so much pain. Damn.

SPEAKER_01

I can't win, huh? If it's good or bad, you always you always have something better or worse going on.

SPEAKER_03

Yep, you ain't winning. You ain't ever winning that competition. Ever. And if you do win that competition, it ain't me. It ain't me. Yep. All right. What do you want to talk about first? We got a lot of stuff to talk about. The gaming awards, streaming, streaming awards, the AMP, Clover House going crazy. A lot. Anime news. What do you want to talk about first, buddy?

SPEAKER_00

Let's knock off the anime news. You want to knock off the anime? All right, let's talk about anime first.

SPEAKER_03

Hey everybody, guess what? We're gonna start up with some anime talk. So if y'all don't like anime talk, I don't even know why you're here. You know, honestly. You know, the whole point of this is anime, everything else is just some other talk that we love talking about. But anime is the main thing that you should be on the show about. We're just not gonna bullshit you. We're we're quick on this anime shit. We're not gonna drag on the anime talk.

SPEAKER_01

We're just a gossip channel.

SPEAKER_03

Ooh, gossip to me, boy. Nah, I'm just playing. All right.

SPEAKER_01

2026 is gonna be a good year.

2025 Wrap And 2026 Hype

SPEAKER_03

2026 is gonna be a great year. And I won't even lie, there's a lot of good animes coming up in 2026. But he's coming though. 2025. I want to talk about the wrap-up of 2025. When you really think about this year of wrap of 2025 of anime, how do you feel like this landed?

SPEAKER_01

I don't even know. Dude, it's such a what a slow year. I wouldn't call it slow. I feel like it was a slow year, but we had big events happening. Right? Like that's that's definitely it was not consistent, but we did have big things come out. Obviously, the Demon Slayer just out here fucking breaking records. But through and through anime-wise, well, I mean, I know I know my hero was doing its own thing, right? That's kind of far off, but it's it's always consistent, so it's always good. But I feel like if you take off the regular big guys, it's kind of it just feels like a it was jumping all over the place, really. But we did have some pretty some pretty big events lead up. I know my hero is about to finish this year. Obviously, One Piece is doing its own thing. One Punch Man broke my heart. We had Demon Slayer come out with the movie, Chainsaw Man come out with the movie. So through and through, pretty some pretty decent, decent moments, but that that's really all I'll call it. Moments.

SPEAKER_03

I wouldn't I think when you call it moments, I call it a transition time. When I call a transition period, this is what I like to talk about. Where all of those people, and I'm talking about y'all new anime people that came in out of the slums when my hero, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, when they all came out, and y'all all showed up all of a sudden and said y'all are top dogs now and y'all don't give a fuck about the big three. Guess what, buddy? Your genre, your era is over. It's wrapping up, buddy. It's over. Fire Force is coming to an end. My hero's wrapping up. JJK's slowly but for surely gonna end. Someday, Demon Slayer is gonna end. All your big hitters, Chainsaw Man's gonna end. Attack on Titans, that was mine's and yours, so we'll call that a double double, but that's been over. But the point is, all of your top hitters, all of your top dogs, the one that y'all rooted in hurrah, it's over. Now a whole new generation of anime needs to come in and take over and run the anime scene. And that is where I'm going with this year.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, definitely. We just gotta wait out, see what comes out. I mean, it's gonna be a decent 2026 is gonna be a good year for an anime fan. You know what I mean? Like if you're actually if you watch what comes out and you keep up with what's going on, it's definitely gonna be a good year. You're gonna be eating a little bit of everything. I still agree there's too much anime. The quality of the anime has gone downhill in the terms of I would say that I know.

SPEAKER_03

What about your one punch, man?

SPEAKER_01

Dude, dude, what every episode gets worse. It's kind of funny. Look at me. Did I not tell you this was gonna happen? You did say it was gonna happen. I knew it was gonna happen. I could tell you.

SPEAKER_03

Can you appreciate season two now a little better?

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Can you can you appreciate season two? I don't want to be able to do it.

SPEAKER_04

I agree with season three. Like, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

You were the biggest hater on season two of One Punch Man. Now I want you to look me in the eye and say, yo, what's up?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe I treated you too harshly.

SPEAKER_03

Way too harshly, bro.

SPEAKER_04

But that's because I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01

Now look at this one. I didn't know how bad it could really get. I thought we were gonna go from low. I didn't know we were gonna go lower than that, dude. This is this is possibly the lowest an animation of this size and caliber has been.

The Fall Of One Punch Man’s Animation

SPEAKER_03

Oh, bro, it is just hilarious how you were like, I kept saying that, like, yo, season two ain't that bad. Yeah, it has some bad moments, but like the fight scenes, the choreography, and a lot of like the stuff that makes one punch man, one punch man is still in there. How about this one, buddy?

SPEAKER_01

Dude, it's so bad.

SPEAKER_03

How about this one, buddy? How's the fight scene? I'm gonna tell you. How about the fight scenes, buddy?

SPEAKER_01

Do you like the little shot by shot? Freaking it upgraded, it got a certain moment where it was a one frame, it was one frame man, and then it had moments where it actually like turn up the frame to three frames per second. So this one punch man has approximately one more season, right? If by season four they don't update the quality of the animation, they're just gonna throw it in the bucket. Because obviously, even the fans are just gonna it, they're not gonna be wanting to watch that thing at all. Because it's kind of like you just keep getting worse and worse and worse, and no matter what, if your animation, especially when your story's good, your quality collapses like that, people are just gonna dip. Shit, I'm gonna probably dip.

SPEAKER_03

So sorry to break your bubble, Buck. But even though you are very upset about the anime, even though that you hate season three with a passion where season two you will watch it now with a better understanding and appreciation.

SPEAKER_01

Probably would.

SPEAKER_03

That anime is way too big to end, so it will never get canceled, it can get worse. Treat put it this way. Remember Seven Deadly Sins?

SPEAKER_01

Oh god, that's where you're going. Yeah, I could see that.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's exactly where you're going. You're you're not gonna No, no, we're not going there. We're already there. Oh no, it could get worse. Oh no, oh no, oh, it could get worse.

SPEAKER_01

It could definitely get worse, but like Oh, it could get worse.

SPEAKER_03

I think Bro, they could 3D, they could 3D animate it and they just be like, yeah, maybe bro, they can't. Bro, they can make they can go the whole Dragon Ball Z movie route and just say, hey, this was a better way to experience, say, Tama. I'm telling you, bro, it could get worse.

SPEAKER_01

I praying that it doesn't. I'm praying this is the lowest we'll ever get, and someday we'll get a full metal alchemist, brotherhood. But I doubt it. I really doubt one punch man will get animated in the next 20 years.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so as I was saying, their season's coming in. We're gonna have to have a new anime leader coming in. So 2025 is just a pass. All like literally everything of 2025, 2020, 2025 to 2030 is nothing but finales. Yeah, you're gonna have finales in My Hero, finales in Demon Slayer, finales in JJK, finales in everything. Everything is one not one piece is one piece will stick to the 30s. 26 episodes per year, and you think Oda, like think about. I just want you to sit there, sit there, and know how long we've been watching One Piece. There's 26 episodes now after this year's over, and they're only giving us 26 episodes every year from now on. Now I want you to tell me in your heart of hearts, is Oda gonna really one cut cut his opening music video monologue, two, make the pacing fast enough where we don't need a hundred episodes.

SPEAKER_01

Nah.

SPEAKER_03

And three, do you really think we're gonna make it to the war arc in thir 2030?

SPEAKER_01

And the th 2030 is something, yeah. Not not 30, 30 something. So I'm thinking 33, 35, maybe.

SPEAKER_03

I can see 33, 35, but that's long. I'm talking about it's 2025 now. Dude, this is five years.

SPEAKER_01

Hopefully, hopefully they adjust that tragic, tragic pacing.

SPEAKER_03

No, that's why they're doing it. So they're gonna adjust the pacing, so the pacing's gonna be a little faster. But I know Oda. Well, I hope I know Oda enough where he ain't cutting shit.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no, he's gonna tell you everything he's gotta tell you.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so like there ain't like you know, a lot of animes when they say we're gonna just keep up the pessim, solo leveling, for example, they cut everything. Yeah, Oda ain't cutting a goddamn thing on his book, even if it's a monologue that takes 15 fucking minutes. That monologue is gonna stay for 15 minutes on that anime. I just don't see us finishing by 2035.

JJK’s Return And Theater Hype

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, it's not even. Even close. We're gonna get every other week now. So less episodes, better pacing, maybe, and you never know.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so I won that one. And One Piece is gonna stay alive forever. I'm just saying that there's gonna be a whole new genre of anime, like my favorite one that I'd be reading. Baruto, the teenage years, like that one's gonna be good, bro. I know you hate on Baruto, I know you be talking your shit on Baruto, but that new generation is gonna look good. Do not sleep on that shit. That shit is insane. But 2026, we have a good year. Well, okay year. Farron's coming out of season two.

SPEAKER_04

I know you seen that trailer.

SPEAKER_01

I know you saw that quality. I know you saw that quality. But listen, I can glaze it all I want. Everybody's getting bodied next year. Everybody is getting absolutely bodied. Because they're coming back.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I won't even lie. Even I thought, like, there's only one anime on that list that's gonna take out this fucking phenomenon of just straight like these niggas. Like, how do they do it? Like, we love anime, right? Me and you, passion anime, even though we don't like the same anime, we love anime. Especially the hype ones, they always just end up in the payroll. Even if we weren't doing this, we'll know about this anime. Yep.

SPEAKER_04

The fuck does this how does it do it?

SPEAKER_01

I don't even know. It's it's literally just quality through and through.

SPEAKER_04

I don't get it.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I feel like that's it shows you what actual quality looks like. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03

They even said that this is gonna be a recap and also an episode in the theaters, and niggas are still buying and selling out. They they bro, Demon Slayer had a lie.

SPEAKER_04

You told us straight up, and they're still going.

SPEAKER_01

I love you, Freerin, but I'm sorry, bro. You're not getting you're not getting nothing.

Black Clover’s Comeback Joy

SPEAKER_03

So all the anime people that don't know what we're talking about, we're talking about JJK Demon well, not Demon Slayer, but Demon Slayer will be coming, but not that year. Is it coming next year? No, I doubt it.

SPEAKER_01

Probably 2027.

SPEAKER_03

JJK season three will be coming next year in 2026. The premiere will be in December 7th or December 4th. December time? It's like December time is when you get to go watch the movie and stuff. And the hype over JJK is ridiculous.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Ridiculous. I thought Demon Slayer, the movie, had crazy hype, which I gave it crazy hype. Big Z's in the chat. Big Z in the chat. I this is unbelievable, bro. Unbelievable. And I think it's gonna be in crazy. I think everyone's gonna have fun with it. And it's gonna be an insane, it's gonna be an insane time. And I really hope it's gonna be good because the hype is unbelievable. The manga readers say we don't know what's coming. And excited, bro. I love I love watching the anime. I don't know what's coming next. I do read some manga, some I don't. But when I don't know what's coming next, after like while watching a monga like while watching anime, it makes it this like makes it so crazier. It makes so like I don't know what the fuck's about to happen. Like every second that goes by feels like a minute.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna be honest with you. I read the JJK manga, but even I'm I'm so excited for the anime to come out because even though I know what's coming, I know it's still gonna get me as hype or hyper than I could possibly be. So to me, I I want to say that it makes no difference. You know what I mean? You're just you're waiting for it to come because you know how good it's gonna be before it even comes out. Because that's just what JJK does. JJK gives you quality on all aspects that you can think of: animation, pacing, the voice acting. Literally, it's 10 out of 10 across the board, and that's why every time we got a new season in JJK, it clears.

SPEAKER_03

But there is one challenger, there is one anime, there is one cult fandom that can take it out, can take it off of this pedestal, that can put season three in its place. Maybe maybe it's a real maybe, it's a hard maybe, but it's a maybe. We don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I'll give it a steep.

SPEAKER_03

We don't know, we don't know, but I'm telling you, bruh.

SPEAKER_04

There are four clovers on a clover leaf, but their fifth one means you a demon, nigga. Black clover coming back 2026, the big Yada himself, the big Asta himself, Yada mean Black Clover's coming back, you hurt. I cannot wait.

Community Loss And Respect

SPEAKER_03

And that's what everyone's doing for JJK. But what I wanna do, I want to do that, bro. I am a pure, pure Black Clover fan. When they came out with the Netflix anime movie, I watched it like 50 times, put it on different TV shows in my different TVs in my house just to have it playing, liked it on everyone's account that I can think of. Even I went to a hey hey, I went to a female's house, went on her Netflix, went to that, went to that movie, liked it, and then just turned off Netflix. She probably got hella anime recognition because of me. But that had to happen because we needed that movie to hit number one for them to come back. Yeah. I'm super excited for this. Yeah. More excited for this than JJK, to be honest with you. Bro, where we got canceled, that was the most bullshit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, no, like I could see that because you know, for Black Clover, it was one of those things that it's not a qu it's more of a question if are you coming back? If so, when, right? With JJK, it's more of a it's definitely coming, so you just gotta wait. But for Black Clover, it was actually in limbo for quite some time because you don't really know what was happening. Is Overlord coming back?

SPEAKER_03

I mean, I don't even I have a date, motherfucker, so shut up. That's what I'm saying. At least I got a date.

SPEAKER_01

I'm happy for you. I'm happy because I know I know it was almost gone. It was gone, gone almost. So I'm happy for you, and I'm glad it's coming back soon.

SPEAKER_03

I'm so glad it's coming back. All black clover fans, please, please stand up. Let's celebrate. We already know that we're back against the wall, and we got a lot of people coming at us and saying we ain't shit, that we're old breed and we can't keep up with the new animes that's coming out now. We about to push past our limits and show these busters that we ain't the people to talk about.

SPEAKER_04

It's black bulls up in this bitch.

SPEAKER_03

Ah I'm getting too hyped over black bulls, but yeah. New seasons, new anime. It's gonna be crazy. We're gonna keep up in form. Only hot takes here. We don't talk about the bullshit, we don't do the power rankies. Fuck that shit. Nah, fuck that. That's for other animators. We don't do that shit. But now we're getting into a more sensitive topic. So we're gonna pass it to Buck because I am more entertainment, but I want to be respectful to the family and the loved ones and everyone who got hurt by this. But Buck, take it away.

UFC: Two Belts And GOAT Talk

SPEAKER_01

Unfortunately, we have lost a member of the anime community. Now, this is not someone who I was aware of, but as someone who does love anime, understanding that the way things happen, it's not okay. So, RIP to Squid Kill 1111. She passed away, and she was dealing with a lot because she's a cosplayer, so she was actually dealing with quite a bit, a lot of racism and just people being absolute terrible human beings to her. So she unfortunately is not with us no more, and I just wanted to take a moment to pay our respects to her by people who do love anime and just tell her that we'll tell everybody really that this is really unfortunate. And I feel like if you if you love anime, just you know, bullshit with each other. You know what I mean? We that's the reason we're all here, right? We're just here to argue, but we're not really here to hate each other. So I I don't know, Buck. You make me hate you sometimes. Hey, you know, I get it. I I do, but I know you're never gonna fucking tell me some crazy shit. You know what I mean? No, like we're we're both here for the love of the game.

SPEAKER_03

I might ask for a taco. But on the serious note, I know I do the jokes in this podcast. R.I.P. R.A.P. to her. Hope and rest in peace. I hope her family can cope with what just happened. But I'm gonna just tell everybody right now and tell all the Gen Z and all the youngins that's cosplaying and being anime. Times are weird. I I don't I don't know what to exactly tell y'all right now because times are weird. Anime's popular now, so anime is now a trend, and now anime is now in the front lines of the community. Back when I was a kid, you didn't you couldn't talk about anime, you couldn't even discuss about anime, there was no anime to discuss about, and and you would get bullied and you would get picked on if you did talk about it. So, I'm gonna just tell everyone who's in the anime community, everyone who just likes anime and who likes the cosplay and watch cosplay videos. At one point, we couldn't talk about this stuff at all, we couldn't talk about anime at all, and we couldn't definitely dress up for anime on Halloween. So, all of y'all that's doing all the extra, just remember the privilege is bullshit, and you're bullshit, and you're a piece of shit. And Mr. High, don't fuck with you. That's all I gotta say. But just keep it P. We're animeers, we're not this extra other people, bruh. We're animeers. We just love anime, we'll bicker about our own stuff, we'll dress up to our favorite characters, don't matter what the color is. We're gonna just dress up, be who we wanna be, and live that day in the anime world, bro. Because it's just a time to get away, and that's the point of anime. Just getting away from reality and enjoying anime and enjoying anime and talking about with your friends. Absolutely. Big Z in the chat.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. R.I.P.

SPEAKER_03

R.I.P. So now I gotta move, I gotta move it to a different subject because you are terrible as transitioning. I apologize. R.I.P. again. Love you, girl. Hope you get up there safe. Hope you're watching, and I hope you're up there with the creator himself of Dragon Ball Z looking at the real animes in the room. Real one up in there. Alright. UFC time, bro. UFC 3322. The two belt champ. The two belt champ. Honestly, bro. Tell me that it's not a movie now.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, it's not a movie. Tell me it's not a movie.

SPEAKER_03

Tell me it's not a movie.

SPEAKER_01

Tell me that that whole camp's not a movie. Dude, that fight was terrible. That fight was absolute. It wasn't terrible. I won money. What are you talking about? It was it was complete domination. Okay. But it was boring. He went up a weight. 18 minutes of wrestling is crazy, bro. This is the most important fight of your life, his career. He won this fight. That puts him in the goal conversation. Without a doubt. He has officially two belts. Two divisions. In two different divisions. 16 wins consistently. He's tied with Andro Anderson Silva for the most. If he wins one more time, he passes Anderson Silva. Nobody ever thought anybody was gonna pass Anderson Silva. This is big. Like this is massive for the sport. Holy shit. This is massive, right? He cleared out his division, moved up, dominated the former champ. Dominated. What do you got? You got nothing left to prove now except that if you defend your belt one more time, you just show you're that guy.

SPEAKER_03

So now my question to you is we're not gonna spend that long on UFC, but it was a good fight, it's a good card, won some money out of it. Hey, hey, bruh. If I gotta talk about it, I'm gonna at least win some money about it. I respect that. Tell me why there's talks that he's not gonna be in the White House card. He has to be in the White House card now. Like it's like a guarantee now. Like you guaranteedly earned yourself a spot right next to John Jones and Conor McGregor.

SPEAKER_01

That John Jones conversation is iffy.

SPEAKER_03

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. What Dana said? John Dana can suck a dick.

SPEAKER_01

Dana said he's not gonna be in that card.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, Dana, sorry that I told you to suck a dick. Please let John Jones on the card. I don't care. It's John Jones. No, I mean it's John Jones. I am a fan. Dana, I'm a fan. I want to see John Jones and Conor McGregor and the new two belt champ and Patty Pimbly on the same motherfucking card. That's all I ask. That's all I need. That's all I need, man. That's all I want.

Cena’s Last Ride And Ticket Shock

SPEAKER_01

No, that that'll be that's gonna be such a big card. And we haven't really gotten any confirmation of who's gonna be in it or who's not gonna be in it. So they're building it as we talk. The biggest question everybody has is who's the headliner for that card? There's a couple names you can throw out there. I don't care. No, no, no, but you whoever it is, you have to have an American to be his opponent. No. No. You just You cannot have Brazilians fighting it out and the White House card. You know what I mean? You gotta have you could have a Brazilian, but you could have you gonna have to have one American fighter there. Hear me out. Is it the American card? Hear me out.

SPEAKER_03

We got nothing. I'm sorry to tell everyone this. I'm sorry to crush every American's dream out there. It crushes my heart too. We have John Jones. John Jones versus Alex Pereira. Oh yeah. Main event fight. Prime card. Everybody wanted to see it. Everybody needs to see it. That's all we got. Everybody else, bro. There's I don't even think of a I don't even think of American fighter out of my top 10 of UFC fighters.

SPEAKER_01

Dude, there's almost nobody. Like almost nobody.

SPEAKER_03

Like I want to see Patty. Patty ain't American. I want to see Connor. Connor ain't American. I want to see the Tube Belt. Two Belt ain't American. Islam. I want to see his coach. Never gonna happen. Habib, he's not coming back. That would be so no big he is, though. Bro, he could be in the heavyweights now.

SPEAKER_01

Habib? Yeah. Nah, if anything, he'll be welterweight. He looks like he's not big though. Like his stature is fairly small. I mean, he's not over six feet tall.

SPEAKER_03

He's a wrestler. Who cares? And he fought bears.

SPEAKER_01

He's not fighting. He's not fighting out. Maybe middleweight. Maybe middleweight, I guess Hamza. Because they're both heavy wrestlers. But the light heavyweight division, now we're talking 6'3, 6'4, and up. Even the light heavyweight division is pretty damn tall, too. Is there any chance we get the GOAT to come back?

SPEAKER_03

Conor McGregor is my goat, but we all know who's really the GOAT. We could, we can. Is it not? Okay, hear me out.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think GSP's ever gonna fight again, bro.

SPEAKER_03

Let me, let me, I'll I'm gonna slap you. See, this is where you this is where the abuse comes in and everyone thinks I'm bullying you. Oh let me tell you this right now, bro. Like, I love Connor McGregor. Connor Gregor is my favorite fighter of all time. But the reason why I like Kabib, the reason why I'm really, really messing with what that whole thing is, is because how it was done, bro. Like you are a GOAT. Like, it's not being a GOAT because you're the best in the world, it's not being a GOAT because you dominated the sport, it's also being a GOAT because the story, bro. You got all three plus a prodigy. So you're telling me you were wrestling bears, and your father got you ready for this prime ready since you were nine years old. Yeah, you were living on a side of a mountain with barely running water and electricity. No, you come to America in Vegas. We Vegas is crazy for a regular person like you. This man was on the side of a mountain and got on the strip.

SPEAKER_01

A religious man, too.

SPEAKER_03

A religious man that got on the strip, dominated the sport and left? Not even that. You the goat of all ghosts, Conam Nagraga, was gonna take you out and stop your rain, and you took him out, and then you fought one more time before your dad tragically passed away. RIP. RIP.

SPEAKER_01

Then after that, you have a prodigy who's just as good, if not better than you.

SPEAKER_03

I don't get that. And then he goes on and wins a bell. Delphins wins another belt, tied with the most wins in UFC history, and you don't even look like you're out of your prime yet. You don't even look like you're out of your prime. So that's what I'm saying, bro. Like he's a GOAT just because of the storytelling, bro. You can make a movie out of this.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I mean he went This could be a movie. He went from being one of the greatest fighters of all time to coaching one of the greatest fighters of all time.

SPEAKER_03

And if he makes one more. No, that's it. Like it's it's No, if he comes out and gets one more, like if he makes another prodigy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean his his his cousin is fighting for the- I don't give a fuck who it is. But if he makes another one of them. No, no, I mean his his cousin Uzman is gonna be fighting for the belt again soon. For the belt. So his whole camp is really when you think about the fighters that are not in the UFC, some of his fighters are ruling other uh other sports like wrestling or or JJ uh or other divis other companies and stuff like that that do MMA. They're they're spread out. It's just the UFC is the big one, and so you know, obviously we got Islam down here.

AMP House Chaos And Streamer TV

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Well, well, it's gonna be a good card. I think the White House is gonna be running how I think it is in my head. Really, everybody who I think that's coming in my like like everybody who I think is gonna be on that card is gonna be on that card. I'm just waiting for the official news. John Jones, you better be training, bro, because if you're not on that card, dude, you lose your GOAT conversation guaranteed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's that's such a fragile card, dude. You need someone real important to be in that card.

SPEAKER_03

Are we already bro?

SPEAKER_01

Oh my i and no after that, after that, if if John Jones is coming back, he's fighting Alex. Without a doubt. Without a doubt. Probably.

SPEAKER_03

All right, so we really have not talked about anything, and it's been almost an hour. What was wait? No, we talked about a lot. We talked about some things, yeah. We did, but I just feel like, god damn, bro. I'm gonna throw some of these away. Some of these topics are getting thrown away.

SPEAKER_01

John Cena?

SPEAKER_03

Nah. We'll talk actually, we'll talk about John Cena. Because it's quick.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_03

John Cena's gonna be in San Diego for Survivor series. He has the Intercarnado Championship. He won it all for Rey Mysterio's son, Dominic Mysterio. They're gonna re-fight in San Diego. It's gonna be his second to last appearance. I was gonna say, I was gonna say, second to his last appearance, then on the main event, which is not a show, it's a side show that's a side event that will be doing his last match.

SPEAKER_01

When's his last match, bro? Like, when's the last last match? Not the the side event of the last match of his other last match. You know what I mean? When is this man retiring?

SPEAKER_03

So, like, maybe like so we had his last match ever. WrestleMania. We had his last match at Royal Rumble. Then we had the last match of SummerSlam. Then we had the last match of Crown Jewel. Then we had the last match of what was the last pay-per-view? The last pay-per-view was something I forgot. It was the last match of that. It was him versus Brock Lesnar. Then he had his last appearance on Smackdown. He will never wrestle again on Smackdown ever again. His last appearance on SmackDown. Then last this Monday, the same day that I got that$980 bill. Bill. Yeah. Broke my fucking heart. It was his last match on Raw.

SPEAKER_01

How many more events do we got left? Not matches. Like events to kind of cross out. Two. Two more events.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_01

And then after that, is he gonna do like a like a small thing or is it gonna be It's over. Gone. It's over.

SPEAKER_03

What's his last one gonna be at? So his last match will be at the main event on Peacock. To watch his final match. John Cena, I love you. I just want to talk about you. I love you, John Cena.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_03

And we're gonna do a Hall of Fame tour for him on the road to WrestleMania to induct him to the Hall of Fame.

SPEAKER_01

What does this mean? What does this mean?

SPEAKER_03

That means we get to watch John Cena get inducted to the Hall of Fame, so we'll get to like see him, appreciate him, go through his highlights, and enjoy it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

He'll probably be the host of Mania, host of SummerSlam, host of Royal Rumble.

SPEAKER_01

Is he gonna be doing matches?

SPEAKER_03

No, he's gonna be the host.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm trying to host. I'm trying to I'm trying to piece it all together just to see, because sometimes you confuse me where he's the main event of the match, and then he's gonna be part of the match, anyways, but he's not. John Cena is the main event. Okay, cool, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_03

But he's not gonna be matching, he's gonna be the host. So right now we're gonna enjoy his last match. That's what Peacock. That's what Peacock is for, and that's what Savira series is for in San Diego. Alright, alright. The next year we're gonna admire him going into the Hall of Fame. And then after that, it's over.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

He said when he's like, when he's done and he's sloppy, he didn't want to be like Ric Flair. He didn't want to be old and running around the ring. He was just like, once I'm missing a step, I'm done.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I have I have no idea on the AMP war.

SPEAKER_03

Go on your phone. Alright, I bet. And look that up. The AMP, bro. I won't even lie to you. AMP. Alright, so pretty much Rakai was being Rakai. And he started talking shit to Duke. And it one thing led to another. And Rakai stole Duke's one of a kind. Freddie Cougar heirs. And burnt those bitches.

SPEAKER_01

Oh is that what led up to the fight? To like the wrestling kind of fight?

Gaming Awards: Indie Upset

SPEAKER_03

Oh, no, no, no, no. That was uh more, that was um him. That was before because Duke came, Duke came at the house, Rakai was talking and shit, Duke stole his chain, Tyle went over there, got the chain back, but he put it in his ass. What the? Then he gave it back to Rakai. Rakai kissed it before. Yo, what the? That was funny. Look it up, bro. There's more things. That's and then um what else happened? That was a really crazy, it all happened in a weekend. That's fucking wild. So then after Rakai burnt the$80,000 shoes, and I promise you right now, if you burned anything from my shit from views, if it's eighty thousand dollars and you burn that, I don't care about you, bro.

SPEAKER_01

I will hurt you. I generally wouldn't care about you the bullying will be real, the bullying will really exist.

SPEAKER_03

So after he did that, Duke got hella mad, but not really mad, but you know, like, you know, yeah, mad, you know, you know what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_01

Yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_03

Yep, you know what I'm talking about. Yep, he got mad, etc. So he went over there with a hundred people and destroyed his room. Destroyed his room, and then he grabbed the chain, grabbed the sledgehammer, broke the chain, and then Rakai showed him that those were fake shoes and grabbed the real shoes.

SPEAKER_01

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03

Moreover, Duke won.

SPEAKER_01

Rakai deserved that. Rakai deserved that. You don't you don't play with a man with$80,000 shoes. Right? Even if it was a joke. Because he didn't know it was a joke. So he he thought he did it. So Rakai got handed a double L. These are the fake shoes. That's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_03

That will happen to you if you ever that will happen to you if you ever steal my shoes like that. If you burn them like that ever in your life. Ever in your life, that will happen to you. Nah, that's one thing I would never do. Great content. AMP war, phenomenal. Great content. Streamer TV, streamer TV, phenomenal. Good job, everybody. That leads me to the next point. And I totally forgot what I was looking up before this. Oh, it was the tickets. We'll worry about the tickets later. This was bringing me to my next point. I was right. You know I was right, right? About. Did you hear that? I was right. About. Did you hear that? About Mr. High was right. About even the streamer TVers are getting tired of themselves.

SPEAKER_04

I wish streaming was just gaming again, like the old days. All like all like bro, is am I a fortune teller?

SPEAKER_01

You saw it, bro.

SPEAKER_03

They don't even realize that they're a different genre. They really still think that they're streamers. They are technically on paper. On paper, it says streamers, but you are actually a television show. You are a TV show. You're a different type of content. You're a different type of content. But you are technically in men, you are a streamer. You are streaming. But you ain't streaming, streaming. You ain't the real streamer. You're not playing games. You're a different breed. So I'm just glad I'm right. I'm glad I'm right. I'm just sad that it's Pokemon because you know I like Pokemon. Oh, she won? No, she's the reason why this is all going down. Would she? I was right. It wasn't just her. But like, yeah, she is one of the forefront leaders that started this.

SPEAKER_01

This becomes a trend after a while. You know, a big person does it, everybody else does it. Then the whole the whole thing just shifts.

SPEAKER_03

But it's not like streaming is dead. It's not like the streaming gamers are not there. They're just not as popular as the TV streamers.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, facts.

SPEAKER_03

Like I said, guys, it's not bad to be a TV streamer, but you're a TV streamer. You're a different league. You are a famous. You are like a reality TV star now. You are a movie star. You are a like you your world is different from Keso's world or Jinx's world. Those two are streamers, kinda. Like all they do is just play video games and talk to their chat. They don't go outside, they don't do big events, they don't make a whole music video, they don't do, they don't do crazy shit to make it look like TV. So like there's a difference, and I don't know why I gotta explain it. All I know is I'm right. TV streamers, wake up. Y'all chose those TV streaming life. Now lay in it and lie in it and enjoy it. Bask in it. Because y'all bask in all the money y'all get from it. So bask in the popularity it takes to be a TV streamer.

SPEAKER_01

Not complaining when you're famous and rich, you ask for it.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm gonna complain like always, but I'm just saying, like, you gotta be ready. Be ready. Like, what did I say when we started this?

SPEAKER_01

That if we ever blow up, you're just gonna dip.

SPEAKER_03

A hundred percent, but also before I do that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you're gonna brag to everybody. You're gonna shove in everybody's face. Before that, a short-term memory.

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna start the smoke with everybody.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Before I dip.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Like before I leave, before I call it quits on the internet, I'm gonna just start smoke, random smoke with everybody. Whoever I have a problem with. Like, you don't even know who I have a problem with right now. I just whoever I have a problem with while doing this journey, I'm gonna lay out everything I have a problem with you, and then I'm gonna just disappear. Like you win after that. Like, cause after I lay it out, I'm I'm I'm leaving. So whatever you say after that, cool, you win. But I'm gonna empty win.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's an empty win, but you're gonna have the last laugh.

SPEAKER_03

100%.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

100%. You won't be able to do nothing to me because I'll be done. I'll be done. I'll be fully done. I'll be a regular citizen again. Fuck the internet. Not yet, because I need the internet. Eventually. Eventually. We'll get there. That doomsday button will be here and be ready to be pressed. Facts. Facts. But yeah, I was right. And everybody else was wrong. So that was a fun, that was a fun clover house and AMP war. I'm just glad nothing got burnt down this time. Last time they all got burnt down.

SPEAKER_01

Both houses. It's always something with these guys. I don't know. Always damage. Bro, they're the best TV. Always property damage. Best TV.

SPEAKER_03

Best TV.

SPEAKER_01

No, I'm not gonna lie. People love destruction. They love to see things get destroyed.

SPEAKER_03

What was our one of the favorite uh cartoon shows? Uh destroy, build, or destroy. That's all we want to see is to blow shit up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Blow that shit up and rebuild it and then blow it up again. So the last little things we have to talk about is are the streaming awards rigged?

SPEAKER_01

That's a great question.

SPEAKER_03

So there's been a lot, like also again, Asmongold. Asmund Gold, once again, started a whole nother rant saying he will bet a hundred thousand dollars to donate to the people that run the streaming award any charity they want. But he wants to see the exact numbers of how they select the people who win the anime awards, which is fair, and it's a free hundred thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

If you are an honest company and you think that you're doing it all legitly, why not just take his offer and just do it and get a free promotion with Asmong Gold promoting it and also 100k on the side? Unless if it's rigged. No accountability. Unless if it's rigged. And that gets me to say, we really didn't realize that it was rigged because when Kai and Speed were having their years, we really didn't care who won unless if it was Kai or Speed. Now we're on a year where they're not the majority winner. Like, obviously, Kai and Speed.

SPEAKER_01

Best streamer of the year, Kai and Speed. After that year, Kai has to win, right? Like, without a doubt. After this whole year, his whole marathon and everything, he's gotta win. He's gotta be the winner. Like, nobody got as many eyes.

SPEAKER_03

Kai's gonna win.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Speed's gonna win.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Everyone else in those categories that you don't know of, they don't believe, they don't belong there. Breakout streamer of the year. The dude that was the peanut ain't there. So peanut ain't there, like you know, the peanut who's playing arc right now? Who talks on the peanut head? You don't do the arc? You don't know the peanut guy?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_03

Fuck, do you why do you like to just chill at home with Rocky? You have better friends than a rock.

SPEAKER_01

Streamers are not my cup of tea. I like streaming. I don't really like watching streamers. At least watch the highlights. I don't even know what that is. I mean, I I know some people. I know the big guys, right? Like Kai and Speed and such, but I don't even know who Peanut is.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, what about Queso?

SPEAKER_01

I've heard of him. He is Is he the one that's always in the in the dark room? Dark room, 300 pounds, big beard. Yeah, big beard, yeah. I know him.

SPEAKER_03

I didn't have to say the 300 pounds part, but I'm sorry. I don't know why I said it twice.

SPEAKER_01

Very humble. I like, I like, I like his personality. He's super humble about that. Queso's dope. Yeah, he's super humble. I respect that. Like, I especially for someone like him who's already making so much money. Oh, I like that. I like that he's laid down. I love Keso. I like that.

SPEAKER_03

He's not in any reward this year.

SPEAKER_00

Damn.

SPEAKER_03

He's one of the big ones. Not intention.

SPEAKER_01

He is no pun intended.

SPEAKER_04

Blocked.

SPEAKER_01

Listen, I respect what you're doing. Give me what you're keep doing what you're doing.

SPEAKER_04

No, you're already blocked, buddy.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that was a good one. Yeah, no, I think I don't think it's rigged. Well, obviously, I think everything's rigged. I think I think the Ma I think Mafiona's doing a rigging right now. I think a lot of rigging is happening in the world.

SPEAKER_01

It sucks because all this stuff is all political now. You know what I mean? It's like YouTube, right? Yeah. Back in the day when we were kids, when we used to watch YouTube, what was recommended to you? Some random video from uh from a channel that had 2,000 subscribers that just happened to make a masterpiece for a week. I don't know what you're talking about, Soldier Boy. Now, it's like whatever's trending is either a big brand, it's either a big artist, a big company. It's always the big guys now. There's no trending for the creators. You know what I mean? The small guys. It's all the big enterprises and monopolies.

SPEAKER_03

Unless if it's like one of those like industry plant people that just randomly pulled up but has all the connections in the world. They got like whatever happened, whatever happened to that one girl that was like laying in the bed talking like quietly. Oh, Bobby? Bobby, what happened to Bobby? She was she fell off. She was definitely an internet plant.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, she was definitely. I mean, is it kind of interesting because she started off on TikTok, but she just got all the right connections at all the right time and somehow got Drake on her podcast? I don't know how she got Drake on her podcast. That's bro, she had connections. How do you get Drake on one of your first episodes?

SPEAKER_03

Connections. Give me somebody.

SPEAKER_01

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03

Give me a famous person.

SPEAKER_01

John Cena. Okay, bring him here.

SPEAKER_03

Have him in the interview. Sit him right here. I feel like if you're a nice person enough, he will do it. No, fair enough. He would do it. He would do it. But think about this, bro.

SPEAKER_01

The Rock will never do it, though.

SPEAKER_03

The Rock will never do it.

SPEAKER_01

The Rock will never do it.

SPEAKER_03

But think of this. John Cena, Drake are on the same type of level of fame. A random podcaster.

SPEAKER_01

With no subscribers.

SPEAKER_03

With no subscribers, no, no rep, no like anything, not even a TV show or anything, not even a stream. Got one of these guys. It's like if me and you, after posting these 12 episodes or 13 episodes, et cetera, the next one we post is John Cena's here.

SPEAKER_01

How?

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01

He just happened to like a content.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

You ain't lying to this podcast, Ricky Bobby. We're all jokes aside, but that is just crazy.

SPEAKER_01

But anyway, streaming awards, you're probably rigged. It's all political. It's all it's all about who you know, whatever. Not not how good you are.

SPEAKER_03

We'll find out next year when you accept that$100,000 bet. And if you don't accept it, you're rigged. And someone else is gonna probably have to take over the streaming awards, and we're gonna have to actually make this a group of awards and not have one person running it from now on. On to the next thing gaming awards. This one's a little weird for me, so we're only gonna like talk about it for like five minutes, bro. Cause I honestly don't even care. Me neither. Exhibition 33 took everything during the gaming awards this year. Didn't it just come out? No, it came out like at the beginning of last this year. Yo, what? Yeah, it's been out for a while. It's the first time I heard about it. It's been out for a while. What the? It's an indie game.

SPEAKER_00

It's not even it's not even a triple A game. It's a Steam game.

SPEAKER_01

I give it some respect because it is an indie game.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's not even it won.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, isn't a is it a Steam original?

SPEAKER_03

No. It's like from Indie Workers. Oh. They this wasn't supposed to win.

SPEAKER_01

No, definitely not. Not an indie made, no.

SPEAKER_03

No, no. I want to I'm gonna tell you right now if you don't understand the like severity of why we're talking about this. That game was not supposed to win. In any shape imaginable of how much like of the backing of a company it was, it was not supposed to win. Overall, the triple A games, it wasn't supposed to win. But the fans love this game so much that they would have knew that the gaming awards were rigged if this game didn't win everything. Yep. So Props F exhibition 33. I really don't really know the game because I haven't played it yet. But I'm going to play it now and actually see if it's actually that good. But I just want to give it his props, bro. What the fuck? That's crazy. That's for an indie. Congratulations, man. Congratulations. That's crazy. You're not you're not one of the big hitters. You're just a little company.

SPEAKER_01

Keep doing what you're doing. We love originality.

SPEAKER_03

With those graphics, it's insane though. Yeah, no, that's uh because like I saw that and I was like, bro, that has to be a triple A game.

SPEAKER_01

It's it probably has uh like a like a heavy budget in the background, but it's one of those things where it's kind of like it doesn't have the backing of a of a like it doesn't have the backing of Activision or Microsoft or something like that, you know what I mean? But it's not cheap, it doesn't look cheap.

SPEAKER_03

Someone's smarter than us would let us know, but that is crazy. Props, Exhibition 33. I will be buying you right when I get home. And pretty much that's pretty much it. We don't really have anything else except have you been watching the has been hotel?

SPEAKER_01

I've been hearing about that show, but I've never seen it. Is it good?

SPEAKER_03

You would hate it. Really? Oh my god, bro. You would be so I love it just to let everybody know out there, I love it. You would hate it. It's just a musical. Oh and I'm not talking about like a musical like how I said watch Red and like Red was the musical. Yeah, every five minutes.

SPEAKER_01

See, I was thinking, I was thinking it was something like a much better, animated, better looking version of Loudmouth or Big Mouth. You know that show Big Mouth? Nope. Yeah, I do know, I do know Big Mouth.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but no, uh full on musical.

SPEAKER_01

I couldn't do that. I hate I hate music. I couldn't do it. Musicals, I hate musicals. I despise musicals, I couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_03

Well, season two is over, and I advise you to watch it, Buck.

SPEAKER_01

I'll think about it. I'll sit on that one. I'll sit on that one.

SPEAKER_03

Like, hear me out. Let's put it, let's put it to a bet. What is harder for you to watch two seasons of Has Been Hotel, which are straight musicals, or finish Baruto?

SPEAKER_01

Baruto, bro. Definitely Baruto. Like you can make me watch almost. I I'm pretty sure I'll have an easier time watching Seven Deadly Sins than Baruto, dude. Mike, it's not hate. It's it's hate, it's hate, emptiness. It's straight hate.

SPEAKER_03

It's like, bro, if you if this wasn't anime and we were in the Naruto world, bro, you would be a bad guy. I'll probably, yeah, I'll probably hate Baruto. No, bro, you will literally be the guy being like, There was a time when you didn't exist and you changed everything, you're the cause for it all. You should like you would be the bad guy, and I would be like, yo, it's not the way, it's not his fault.

SPEAKER_04

You don't know true pain. Because Norris was gone. They're like, God damn, nigga, calm down. We've been on the same shit.

SPEAKER_03

And I'm like over here, like, bro, what's going on, dude? But yeah, bro, yours is true hate.

SPEAKER_01

Like, if we were in the middle be hate when it comes to Baruto, it's straight loath them. It's hate loath them. It's hate. I hate it. I fucking despise it.

SPEAKER_03

Like, you don't even give it a chance. Like, you don't give it a chance.

SPEAKER_01

You don't give Baruto the character a chance. I gave him a chance. He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve a second chance. He deserves three. He does not deserve shit. He's a spoiled rat. So what? So I'm not gonna get into it too much because I'm I'm gonna get heated, but but my my hate for Babruto is I'm not watching that shit. Watch it. I'm gonna watch the new one when it comes out. But you need to watch the indie to know what we're doing. No, it's cool. I've watched things without watching the previous ones. I'll catch up with you.

SPEAKER_03

You legitly would not know what's going on in the first episode.

SPEAKER_01

I'll catch up quick.

SPEAKER_03

You would not know any character. I promise you.

SPEAKER_01

But the thing is, the character, the quality of Baruto is not like, okay, you know, it started off kind of bad and then it got better over time. It's like, no, it was the opposite. It started off great and then it got worse over time.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, no, no. You are taking it from the count where you left off. It started off great.

SPEAKER_01

Where I left it all safe, it was still pretty good, actually.

Sign Off And Core Rule

SPEAKER_03

It started off great, then slowly but for surely got worse. Then we got to a downhill, a very, very dark downhill. Episode 187. That episode, you know, we get to a really bad point rare there. But when the real creator takes over from that point. Oh, it's over. It's over. I'm gonna watch it from there. I think it's from that from I think 250. Then we're cooking, then it's over. But then right now, what we're playing with, bro, we're playing with nothing but fire, nothing but greatness, nothing but understanding what my nigga really went through in the struggle. You need to get borrowed to a third chance. Third. But I won't lie to you. 138, like a seven, like that, that that's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt your soul. But other than right when you pass that, you're good. You're I mean, you're chilling. Right when you meet cold, you're good. I'll think about it. Right when you hear cold, you're just know you're good, bro. From then on, you're just chilling. Until you meet cold.

SPEAKER_04

Like until you meet him.

SPEAKER_01

Nah, I definitely gotta sit on that one, cuz I don't know, man. That's probably my my biggest. That's gonna be the biggest fucking.

SPEAKER_03

But it was okay podcast. We got a lot of stuff to edit and cut out, but you know. Why don't why do I have you, Buck, if I don't have you for that?

SPEAKER_01

I'm busy.

SPEAKER_03

You ain't busy, you're gonna sit in that chair, grab your fucking blanket, and go in editing mode and the lights are dark. You can put a little camera there to say I'm streaming too, and do the whole old thing. But you're good after that. One needs you to do, get some work done, buddy. Sheesh. Underlay. But anyway, hope everybody have a great weekend. Hope everyone enjoy their week. Remember the number one rule of this podcast. If there's anything you take from this podcast, you take this rule and only this rule, and then nothing but this rule. Watch some motherfucking anime. All right, I'm out of here. Buck, anything last words to say to the people? Peace. Alright, let's go.
