SPEAKER_02Alright. Zero out of 10, 2025.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna give that shit like a five out of ten. Terrible. Nothing crazy. I mean, a bunch of crazy shit happened last year, but I'll probably just put it enjoyment-wise, I'll give it like a like a mid.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna be I'm gonna be fair. Partying aspects? 7.5. Country aspects. 8.5 Podcast aspects.
SPEAKER_01Zero.

SPEAKER_01I'm gonna give it a zero.
SPEAKER_02No, I'm giving it a two. Reflecting on our lives and being better person and better human beings. Three. Solid three. All in all, 2025, I'm giving you a 7.5.
SPEAKER_017.5. A little better than average.
SPEAKER_02A little better than average. 2024 was terrible.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it just kept getting worse. The goal to be getting 2020.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, 2024 was absolutely terrible. 2025 was actually okay. It was decent. You can live. You can buy a steak if you needed to. I liked it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01High hopes for 2026?
SPEAKER_02For 2026, my goals for 2026 or like the new hopes for 2026 is that we actually get this podcast off the ground.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
Goals, Money Stress, And Podcast Reality
SPEAKER_02Like that is literally the only thing I care about in 2026, besides my health and uh exercising, getting back into real, real, real shape. Those two things are probably the biggest thing on my agenda list for 2026 is to make sure that this podcast can get off the fucking ground. Cause God damn. If I knew it was this hard, when I brung up the idea we should start a podcast, if I knew the bills, if I knew, if I knew the space, if I knew the product, if I knew the fucking endorsements, if I knew everything, all of it, I'll look you dead in the eye on that day and say, it might just be fun just talking about it. I'm too deep now. Like there's a difference now. Now I'm too deep. Now I gotta persist it.
SPEAKER_01Now at this point, we just gotta post it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, like minimum. Yeah, no. Now at this point, now I'm I'm persistent and now I'm hooked in it. Now it's just like I'm trapped. Like it's either it fails or it flourishes. But either way, I'm about to see with a reaction. I don't give a fuck at this point. But can I say that it took a toll? Yes. Can I say that I saw Girl skyrocket to fame and skyrocket to fucking cancellation and all the time of me building this podcast? Yes. Can I say I seen people go from skinny to fat? Yes. All in all, bro, podcasting is hard, and I swear to god that who's ever really trying to do it, you better actually bring some fucking A game to this, bro. Bring the big boy check, bring the big boy wallet, and you better be ready to work every single week of the day.
SPEAKER_01That's a fact.
SPEAKER_02Either way, let's get on the price side.
SPEAKER_01What are your new goals this week, Buck, for this new blessed year? Trying to save as much money as I can because it's not getting cheaper. That's a failure. You have you own a podcast.
SPEAKER_02Like we already lost that.
SPEAKER_01Wait, I'm trying to white. I'm trying not to waste more money apart from the one I'm already wasting.
SPEAKER_02Fair enough.
SPEAKER_01Or investing, I guess I could say. That would be the safer word.
SPEAKER_02Wasting, investing it right now is. It sounds the same fucking tone to me.
SPEAKER_01I'm trying to focus on my mental health a little bit more for 2026, trying to stay clear, stay out of my own head.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm trying to save money. You know what I mean? That's literally my biggest goal for this whole year. No, he said that the first time. I gotta do that shit twice because that's how important it is to me. Focus on myself, do that, and then obviously get this off the ground. That's the best. What about TikTok? Fuck TikTok. I'm not doing TikTok. No. No. We're good.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no, we're not good. We will be doing TikToks. I just don't know what I just don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do yet. I might do an Eddie Murphy impression. Do a Chris Rock impression.
SPEAKER_01Or a Chris Rock. Do a Donkey impression.
SPEAKER_02Fuck you and Donkey.
SPEAKER_01Donkey's goaded. But but that's about it, honestly. That's all I got. This whole year, I'm just looking forward. I'm just looking ahead. Hopefully it's a good year for me and you and our families.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Preach that. Preach that. Why every time you talk, I feel like it's an American, it's like a regular person talking to me. You are part, you are the people. Like if if anybody, like, if anybody was like, what is an American person with American troubles and American hardships? You fit that bill to a motherfucking tee. Like you don't have no ego. You literally care or hate everything. And you can take or leave anything.
SPEAKER_01Thank you. I appreciate that.
SPEAKER_02It's honestly mind-boggling.
SPEAKER_01I I do have an ego, and hopefully. No, no, no. Hopefully, if we do, you know, if this takes off and 2026, I'm praying and I'm hoping 2026 is our year that we take advantage of everything and we just set off into the stars or something. I'm hoping I won't let it get out of control. Because I do have it, but it's not there yet, because there's nothing to be, there's no point to have an eagle.
SPEAKER_02Why? I'd use it every day.
SPEAKER_01I don't have an eagle right now because I don't have nothing to use it on. I don't have a platform, none of that. So I'm trying to I'm trying to tell myself, if we do become successful, and if we do, even if we become a little popular, I want to make sure it stays checked. So do I get the permission to slap you? I don't think it'll go that far, but you see little moments where you'll be like, whoa, who's this guy? You see. If it does come up, you kind of see it creep up a little bit.
SPEAKER_02I will never see that moment in my life. I promise you, like, I could probably bet a hundred dollars that that's never going to happen. Like, yeah, no, we're good on that. But as long as you are already checking that little that little fucking ego you got, I think we're solid. I have no ego check. I walk up in the studio every day saying I am the fucking hype. Which I am. Fair enough. Fucking hilarious. Bro, yeah, no, that's not happening. But good job, bro. I'm proud of you. I hope you hit every goal that you set out for yourself, and I hope everything goes great. I hope every one of our fans or every person who's listening, I hope all your goals go great, solid. Remember, dedication is everything, but distractions is everywhere. Ooh. Remember that. Quote that. Quote that.
SPEAKER_01Put Mr. High under it.
SPEAKER_02Put Mr. High under it with me smoking a joint.
SPEAKER_01Modern philosopher over here. Hey. So I'm gonna make a fucking eagle's out of check already. Come on, bro. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Okay. All right, let's get to the show. Let's get to the show. We got a great podcast for you. There's a lot of stuff happened today. Anthony did Anthony Joshua got in a car crash. Aiden Ross in 6ix9ine Disc track. Kaisen that's missing. Stranger Things sees a finale. Doom Avengers. We got a whole bunch of stuff on this podcast. A lot of entertainment, a lot of back and forth, a lot of me talking about Buck and comforting him about him sitting under a rock with his name. His name was Rocco. He was a great friend of ours. I don't know where the fuck he went. Is he still at your dad's house?
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna set him free in the in the ocean or something. I don't even know no more.
SPEAKER_02Oh, when you left that house, you just threw the rocks at fire. I will never get over the fucking uh what was it that what was it, your Game Boy?
SPEAKER_01Oh, my PS Vita. Your PS Vita, I will never get over the P.S.
SPEAKER_02Vita story.
SPEAKER_01If you know, you know. If you know, you know.
SPEAKER_02We will tell the P.S. Vita story one day, probably later in this podcast. But the Vita one is the reason why I think you were live like when you watched Harry Potter, you didn't watch the show because you liked it. You related to the fucking main character. Word for word, bar for bar. If you had a red-headed girlfriend when you were a kid, I wouldn't be surprised. I know where it said consciously came from.
SPEAKER_01I was the inspiration.
SPEAKER_02It is a new year, it is 2026. I'm already dropping stuff in the studio. What did you do for the new year's buck? And if you say nothing, I swear I will get up and slap you.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no. I was uh I was working and for the 31st, I was working and I had no plan. So nighttime came. I went to the theaters, I watched Marty Supreme, banger, eight out of ten, boom, and then I went home, and then for the New Year's, I just stayed home. We went shopping for food, we made some dinner, I did not do nothing. I just relaxed at home. It was crazy raining outside. I wanted to go fish in the morning, but it was raining so hard. I'm not risking getting sick right now. So I just I decided to take my butt home and stay.
SPEAKER_02Isn't fishing in the rain like the best time? Yeah, but it's cold.
SPEAKER_01Be a man. This is your fucking passion. Yeah, and then what? I get pneumonia?
SPEAKER_02No. Bro, you are 25.
SPEAKER_01It has no age range. It just happens. That's why sometimes it's unexpected, and you see celebrities pass away out of nowhere, and you're like, this could have been preventable. They got sick, bro. It was just a normal sickness. Bah! And then it turned into something else.
SPEAKER_00You're just going fishing. Where are you? It's raining.
SPEAKER_01It was literally raining so hard yesterday. Or the first. I was not risking it. And then it stopped raining. It was raining on and off all day, so I couldn't even time it.
SPEAKER_02Well, I I I you. You. You thank you. What about you? I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing. I literally grabbed a bottle, a nice steak, made a steak. I usually go out. Like, let's not get wrong. We all know what Mr. High usually does. This is usually the time that I disappear, go out into the nightlife, and then don't magically appear today and said, Oh, I just came back from wherever my adventure was. It was a new year, it was a new set. I wanted to be right. I knew I should have stayed home, played video games, wait for the podcast to start, get the life straightened out, and get my shit on track for the new year. So I told myself, fuck this. I'm gonna eat a steak, I'm gonna get a little drinky poo, and I'm gonna play some Fallout, and that was my whole thing. That's all I did for the New Year's Eve.
SPEAKER_01Nice.
SPEAKER_02Watch the countdown on the TV, and that's it.
SPEAKER_01Nice. And also because I went to Vegas and I completely completely out of mind. I was about to ask you, does this have anything to do with the Vegas drill?
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_02So yes, I didn't have the money to go outside.
SPEAKER_03I didn't have a dime to go outside.
SPEAKER_02I didn't have a single dime to go outside. I was like, I just got my paycheck. I put a lot of bills in, I had to pay for a lot of stuff, and then once it came down to it, I was like, I want to stay home.
SPEAKER_03I want to get my life together. I'm gonna do better things.
SPEAKER_01Hey, but the second that that that check is account goes up.
SPEAKER_02The second that my bonus comes in, back outside. Back outside. Y'all get a little weeks to process and do whatever y'all need to do. But when my check clears, I'm back outside. But New Year's Eve, I didn't do nothing.
SPEAKER_01But yeah. My type of New Year's Eve.
SPEAKER_02I love how you were just waiting for me to say it too.
SPEAKER_01You were like, there's no reason. I'm like, I know I I like that he's sounding humble, but there's a reason to the humbleness right now. I know he's broke.
SPEAKER_03He was like, he was like, damn, bro, you're so humble right now.
SPEAKER_02I'm so proud of you. You're actually like getting better as a person and a human being. I did say that the the the person betterness was three, right? I said three, right? Bro, there's the three. Plus, I had to pay for this shit, so you know, a lot of money came out this month. It's only the fifth.
SPEAKER_01Oh man. It's the third. The second.
SPEAKER_02That's what I'm saying. Imagine if I went outside yesterday.
SPEAKER_01Bro, you wouldn't even have enough gas money to get here.
SPEAKER_02Dude, I did it on the fucking 30th. On the 30th, I did not have enough money of gas to get to work. Like, hey, this was me like at six in the morning turning on my car. It said reserve. I'm like, cool, reserve. I can see, you know. Hey, anybody who works, you know, when it says reserve, you know you can get to work with that reserve. Guaranteed. It said reserve, and it said 10. Ooh. 10 miles left.
SPEAKER_00Bro.
SPEAKER_02My job's 15 miles away. I said, fuck it. We're gonna pray to God it makes it there. And by godly, he came to me. You made it. I made it. I got my check that day, put some tank in my gas, and I said I wasn't going out today. If you want to know how that whole day played.
SPEAKER_01You made it just about even. Just about even.
SPEAKER_02So yeah. It was a chill, relaxing New Year's Eve. I enjoyed my New Year's Eve, even though it wouldn't be the way I would want to play it out. There's no, like, you know, everyone in this podcast knows me and Mr. High.
SPEAKER_01You would have been blacked out till today.
SPEAKER_02Till today. I would have came in stumbling.
SPEAKER_01Yep.
Fame, Tragedy, And Media Culture
SPEAKER_02And I would have had a drink of coffee, like have like just tell you what to write, and then I would have just did got back. Like I would have been Mr. High. I would just got into my zone. We already know my bender days. Mr. High has bender days. But um, no, it was great. I had a great time. It was fun. It was relaxing. It was something I needed. It was something I really did need. I really did need to be able to calm down and just chill at home and play video games and see what I really wanted to do. See what I really wanted to do. It was nice. I enjoyed it. Kicked it with the family. But every single minute my phone blew up. Eight ring. Nine ring. Ten text messages. 11, where you at? I didn't have the heart to tell them I was broke. Oh, now they know. Now they know. Well, no, they well, they don't know yet. Fuck, who knows if they'll even listen to this. I might still be in the clear. This might be going down in us and the podcasters and our fans' graves that they will never know that I was broke that day. God damn.
SPEAKER_01Bad timing.
SPEAKER_02But um 100% RIP to the two people that died. That was kind of crazy. I saw the car crash, I saw the videos.
SPEAKER_01No, that was incredibly scary.
SPEAKER_02It's kind of crazy. If you die today, there will be footage of it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I keep thinking about that all the time. Like, yo, like, if you're famous, yo, your your your death is gonna be broadcast to everybody.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, nobody, nobody's safe. Like, literally, TMZ is gonna get a clip of it somehow. You know what I mean? Some way or the other, TMZ, you, you, TMZ will know you die before your family does. Yes. And as crazy as it sounds, is the truth. Literally, TMZ's the first to break anything before everybody else does.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, it's RP, it's RIP in that situation. That's a terrible situation. He just won out, he just beat Jake Paul. Y'all seen me spaz out, and I was emotionally upset with that. But this is just different. This this shouldn't even happen.
SPEAKER_04Like, this was crazy.
SPEAKER_02But I just wanted to put it on the podcast just to say R.P.s. I hope you're feeling better, bro. Come back to America. I don't know. Like, there I don't know what to say. Like, that is a wild thing. Yeah, that is wild.
SPEAKER_01It happened so quick, right? He won, he went over there, boom. Tragedy happened. Tragedy. And and when I read that, I'm like, there's no way. No way. I just saw it. He was just here. He was just here. There's no way that happened within a span of like a couple days, less than a week later. That's what I'm saying. Dude, it makes you really wonder how fast things can happen. That's a famous person, right? That's like a famous, famous, worldwide person.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, if it was you, no one would even know. Nobody would even know. Well, I'll know. I'll be sad. Yeah. I'll be sad. I appreciate that. It'd be sad. You know how hard it would be to fucking find a new podcast. It would be so fucking hard, dude. Like, just for a second, think of my pain.
SPEAKER_01I'm sorry, bro. You're never gonna find nobody as interesting as me.
Niners Talk And Football vs Soccer
SPEAKER_02That's what I'm saying. It's gonna be fucking like you, you're dead. It's over for you. Me, I gotta live on. I gotta continue with this shit. There's a lot of money in this involved, you know. I gotta find a whole new guy. But yeah, no, I would be incredibly sad. But um, RIP to the people that died. I really hope you're I really hope your families, your loved ones, I hope everyone can process how they gotta process it.
SPEAKER_00Well, should you go? Well recovery.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well recovery and everything. You know, you got it, champ. Yeah, hope to see you in the ring one day again. Let's move on to something a little bit brighter and a little bit more entertaining. Yeah, my 49ers are fighting for the one seed in playoff contention against Seahawks this Saturday. We are not a foot, we are not a sports channel, but we will talk about my Niners. We will digest my Niners a little bit. So it is a little Niner talk. We're gonna do a little smidge of a little first seed, huh? Little smidge. We will get to the anime soon. Anime's coming, anime's coming, anime's coming. A little smidge of the nine.
SPEAKER_01They're not even here for the anime.
SPEAKER_02They're here for the anime. We're always here for the anime. This is an anime proven podcast. Where's just not a lot of anime to talk about, to be honest with you? I'll be honest. It's right around the corner. It's right around the corner. We're gonna get into it. There's just not a lot to talk about right now, and we only talk about the hype of anime. We refuse to just talk about bullshit animes and like prop them up. Nah, bro.
SPEAKER_01This is you see these two?
SPEAKER_02You see Mr. High and Mr. Buck? We were in the era, if you weren't a god tier anime, you didn't get a manga. You didn't get a like, y'all gotta think about that right now. Y'all get whatever y'all want. Any manga, any anime show y'all get right now, bro. When we were kids, if your pilot anime didn't hit, they wouldn't even give it a manga. Fucking anime. Half of them all didn't get an anime.
SPEAKER_01It's previews, and that's what the question is. It was so great. It was so cutthroat. It had the big three, and then under that, you still had my hands.
SPEAKER_02Like, remember when theater like squeezed in and got their first anime, bro? That was insane, dude. So I'm telling it's just it was cutthroat. And it was it was the roster was so unfair back then. It was too deep. It was far too much. The competition was far too great. Bro, I was just like, like, you gotta remember, y'all think of like y'all thinking when we say this, oh, they're talking about Naruto, they're talking about bleach, they're talking about One Piece. Nah, those were the new kids on the block. We're talking about like cowboy beepop, fucking full metal, fucking chinchin, fucking what was that one anime back in the day? Parasite.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02We're talking about that ghost, that girl with the that girl with the fairy tale somehow doing its own thing back then too. No, they came a little later. We're talking about when Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach were rookies.
SPEAKER_01Oh, like the early.
SPEAKER_02Remember when they were rookies? Yeah. Remember when Inuyasha was Papa? Oh my god, so old. Remember when Inuyasha was big boy compared to those three? So old. Bro, remember when that fucking robot dude with the fucking robot fire?
SPEAKER_01Oh, the box the boxing one?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like come on, bro. There were so many animes taking them down when they were little.
SPEAKER_01The quality was so good. A lot of the big ones back in those days were actually good quality. Great quality. Like story-wise, character-wise, all of it. It had to be good.
SPEAKER_02Like, I can't even think of all the very old animes, but I promise you, if I go on my crunchy roll and just go to my watch history, I would name like 30 of them. Yep. 30 of them. Off the top of my dome. But that's what I'm just saying. It's just there's a lot of anime out nowadays, and we're only gonna talk about the hype. Y'all know everybody else don't deserve it. Some people that we talk about on this list, I don't think they deserve it. But he loves them. So we gotta talk about them.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. JJK doesn't deserve it.
SPEAKER_02I will kill you where you stand. I will.
SPEAKER_01Yo. Yo. Yo. What is F F Oh, fire. Never mind. There you go. Okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02All right. Can we get to my playoffs now?
SPEAKER_01Let's do it.
SPEAKER_02We gave him a little anime nubble. Yeah, we give him an animal. We'll get back to you. We'll get back to you. We'll get back to you.
SPEAKER_01A little tease.
SPEAKER_02Alright. So my nine is in the playoffs. We're fighting for the one seas. We're fighting our rivalries. Do you even watch football?
SPEAKER_01I do not. I but but I always like to I kind of like to keep up once in a while. Usually basketballs don't want to keep up with more. But obviously, Super Bowl time comes around.
SPEAKER_02I know you watch basketball. I I know you're a basketball fan. Just the way you talk about basketball and you know the players. Why the f do you not watch football? American football. It's a long game.
SPEAKER_01They're very long games.
SPEAKER_02Soccer's a long game.
SPEAKER_01Soccer's what, 90 minutes? That's what, one hour and 30 minutes? How long is football? Like two hours?
SPEAKER_02Nah, it's like 60 to 75 minutes, depending on timeouts, pauses, plays, reviews, and all that other bullshit that happens in a game.
SPEAKER_01So we're looking about like a regular game will probably last you close to two hours, safe to say.
SPEAKER_0275 to 80 minutes. So it's shorter than a soccer game. Depends on the game. Because then we get overtime. Overtime 100% will last. Yeah, overtime will last. Overtime will definitely hit two hours. Not maybe an hour and 30 tops.
SPEAKER_01And that's crazy. I'm football, football is a very exciting sport, but man, sometimes I'm like, I cannot sit here. It's it's I like the fact that if something happens, it's a very crazy thing that happens at one specific moment. But sometimes the thing that pisses me off is like a like a quick 15 minute uh 15-second movement transition or something, and then someone catches it or fumbles it or gets tackled or something, and then you gotta go back, line up, and then 15 seconds, and then go back and back, and then something happens, and then you have you score points finally. But it kind of drags on a little bit to be honest. I won't hurt you. No, I'm telling you how I see it. Like that's how I see it. And it drags on a little bit sometimes.
SPEAKER_02That's how you see football?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03That is terrible.
SPEAKER_01No. Well, the way I see soccer is like you're what you're you could be sitting there for an hour and 30 minutes and nobody's gonna score. Okay. That's pretty bad too. That's pretty bad too. If I if I watch a soccer game and nobody scores, or at least ties or something, I'm pretty pissed, bro. I feel like I wasted my time.
SPEAKER_02There's never a game in football that you'll never see one of the teams not score.
Where Is Kai And Streamer Drama
SPEAKER_01Someone's going to score. I get that. But those quick, what was it? Is it like? It's between five to 10 seconds, to 10 or 15 second plays. The plays can last that long. And then you go back to the line. That gets pretty frustrating. But it's a new line. No, I get that. That's if you even manage to make your yards. Or you lose lines. Or you get intercepted or something.
SPEAKER_03And then there is no lines and it's the touchdown. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00But it's like taco and there's a new line. It's like trench warfare. You gain an inch, gain an inch, you lose an inch.
SPEAKER_02It is trans mother warfare.
SPEAKER_01It drags. It drags. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to tell you it drags a little bit. But but the Super Bowls are usually the most fun, and they usually blow out. So I will watch the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_02Everything that came out your mouth gave me a seizure. I smell toast. God damn it. But no, I'm over. Nope. I don't want to hear another word of you in football for at least two weeks. I gotta digest and then figure out how I'm gonna make you a sports fan and make you a 49er fan or whatever type of fan. I gotta play to make people. I need help. This man doesn't like football.
SPEAKER_00Let's go, radar.
SPEAKER_02See, why do you hate me? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Why the fuck do you hate me? I'm just hitting it. Fuck you. And you can't even go to where you bro. You can't even afford Vegas.
SPEAKER_01There's not even any point. You can't even afford it. There's no point of watching the Raiders anyways, because they fucking suck and they never do shit.
SPEAKER_02That is sad that you are not a sports fan and you know that. That is just sad. That is so sad.
SPEAKER_01Trust me. I though the Raiders are fucking garbage.
SPEAKER_02That is so sad. That you're like you're not even a sports fan and you know that. Like, okay, whatever. We're gonna move past that. That's so crazy. Let's go, 49ers. I'm rooting for y'all. We out here. Niner gang, bang, bang. Cry eagles cry. I just want to throw that out there. You know who you are. Defending champs? That's crazy. Fuck them. What was gonna say? Oh, we got streaming news.
SPEAKER_01Where the hell is Kai? Kai just came off the single-handedly most successful year ever. But where is he? He deserves a vacation. Where is he? In Dubai or something like that, probably spending his millions of dollars he just made.
SPEAKER_02Okay, hear me out. I understand that Kai deserves a vacation. I get that. I'm not one of these streaming kids that need Kai to go on the stream. It's stream. I don't need that. I don't really care if he does or not. There's too much gossip and too much shit going down in this streaming network for this man to sit all there quiet. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, Kai. Kai Kai. Kai. Kai Kai. You need to get on the stream, buddy, and explain yourself.
SPEAKER_01I would say after a whole month, 24-7 of working non-stop, grinding every single day, he needs at least minimum three months cool-off. That's a whole month of work every day making new content. Okay. Bringing in stars.
SPEAKER_02Hear me out. I'm not sure of the situation because, like, no one's really saying anything. They're just like amounting to it. It's just kind of weird. I don't know if there is for clicks or views or whatever. I don't. This is for clicks and views, but I'm just don't I don't understand what's going on right now. This is a real situation. What is going on? Yo, first month you disappear and you're traveling and we get like glimpses of pictures of you around the world. Next month, you you and your girlfriend break up on some quiet shit and it blows the internet. Oh shit.
SPEAKER_01He had a girlfriend? I don't even know he had a girlfriend. I'm gonna hurt you. If you told me Speed had a girlfriend, I wouldn't believe you, bro. He's out there doing everything in the world.
SPEAKER_02Man, it's just like I gotta catch you up on everything. So, like, he had a girl, Gigi. They were cool. They were just like a cool little, cool little couple, like, you know, just cool little couple. They break up. I have no idea what's going on, but ever since they broke up, the internet has been in fucking sane. Rumors of NBA Youngboy, rumors of this, rumors of that, like a pink G Wagon. I don't know what's going on right now. And if you do to and if everyone's telling me Kai didn't buy her a G-Wagon, bro, this is Kai sinette. He can afford a fucking G Wagon. That ain't that ain't the biggest issue of Kai's life. So I don't know why they broke up, but I don't think it's over a G Wagon.
SPEAKER_01Each one of his backpacks costs like$30,000. That's what I'm saying. Like not chump change, but doable. Not out of the question. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02If it's over a G Wagon, that's crazy. She might not been for you, Kai. That's crazy. If it's over a G-Wagon, I don't know what the situation is. I don't know why they are broken up, or if they are broken up, or if this is all just a hook to get everyone talking. If this is all over a G Wagon, Kai, nah, not a girl for you, bruh. Not even close. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy. That is fucking ridiculous. If it is, allegedly.
SPEAKER_02So like if you was with a girl and you like we were pot like, you know, podcast big going big. You were with the girl and she said she wanted a G-Wagon or she's gonna leave you.
SPEAKER_01There's a door. You don't you don't give me ultimatums. Nobody gives me ultimatums.
SPEAKER_00I gave you ultimatum. Yeah, but that's because you know, this is this.
SPEAKER_01Plus, hypothetically, that's if we already made it.
SPEAKER_02Fair enough. But you felt my pain right there. You know, it's like you can't. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, no. Rooting for you, Kai. Just get on the stream. We need you out here. I don't know what's going on, but rooting for you. Hopefully everything's good. Hey, single 2026, bro. Single 2026. That's what's how we move in.
SPEAKER_01That's how we move in the street. Ice Spices in the open, I'm glad.
SPEAKER_02Big guy.
SPEAKER_01Oh god, don't even get me started.
SPEAKER_02Big guy. Ton spot, big guy, big guy, pins on flex. Also, did you see that dress? I know. And a kid's at a kid's movie theater.
SPEAKER_01Disrespectful.

SPEAKER_01No, she looked amazing. She looked amazing.

SPEAKER_01You looked amazing.
SPEAKER_02You looked fucking fantastic. Yep. Was not the place. Was not the place or time.
SPEAKER_01You need a dresser who knew who knows how to read the room, bro. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02Hey, no, no, no. That dresser was hey, you you, the dresser, you did what you needed to do. She said, make a dress that big guy would make you look. But for our kids, hey, these big guys, hey, these big guys were looking.

SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You they just need to read the read the room better. That's it. That's all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, they gotta read the room better, but let's be honest.
SPEAKER_01No, right now she looked amazing, bro. She was cool. Especially right now, she's getting a little a little bit more.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like you could tell her she's in her. You could tell she's in a prime. She's in the fit art. Yeah. It's the fit art right now. And I uh and I'm in and I'm here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, dude, trust me. We're in.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I'm here for it. Oh my god. All right. It's time.
SPEAKER_01It's time! Mariah Carey, get your ass out of here, bro. We don't want no more. It's time. It's New Year's. Christmas is over. Pack it up. Fuck you.
SPEAKER_02I'm black. We're doing it one more time. It's time.
SPEAKER_03Let's go. It's anime time. It's anime season. We going to back. Oh my god, we're back.
SPEAKER_01It's fucking back. I'm throwing everything, Buck. Give me my glasses. January 1st is probably gonna be the best month of the whole year when it comes to anime, bro. Alright.
SPEAKER_02Oh man, I had a I I came out possessed right there real quick. Alright. Anime, let's get to it. JJK is coming back on January 9th. I'm excited. We got Hell's Paradise on January 11th. Holy shit. We got Fire Force season three, the last fing season on January 10th. What the We got My Hero spinoff, Vingil Anti, season two. Oh, January 5th. These are nothing but hitters, I'm calling right now. It's only January.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna spend at least a month back to back to back. You're not gonna have a day off.
SPEAKER_02And we also got Faron, January.
SPEAKER_01Oh, my beloved Fraeron. Thank you for coming back. I will give you my soul if you give me a good season. My beloved French. Dude, Farron's so stupid. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Relax. Relaxate.
SPEAKER_03Bro.
SPEAKER_01Frere is amazone. Goaded. Relax. Freyron is. Freyrin might win. Nah, he's not gonna win nothing this year. I'm sorry, but JJK is clearing everything. What?
SPEAKER_02I was about to say, utter those words. Hold up. Utter those words out your fucking mouth. I would have slapped you.
SPEAKER_01This is gonna be such a great season because we're finally gonna get a fight. We're gonna see if Freen has the the the ability to keep up. Now, last last year. No, she's not keeping up. 2024 was an inflated year. We were battling solo leveling. Deep. Inflated. Inflated. No, no, no, because solo leveling was inflated as fuck. But JJK brings in levels to this shit.
SPEAKER_02No, I'm talking about anime as a whole. Deflated. You had one piece holding it and it went on hiatus that whole time. Solo leveling was just owning the whole December runs and January runs. What else came out? Something else came out. Oh, Sakumono Days. B plus. B plus. Yeah. Dotadon. Oh. That shit took over.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02And then there's another show that took over this year. What was another show that took over this year? Big hype anime. Everybody was talking about it. Oh, that white, the white hair kid that got put in the trash. Oh, gotcha cuda. Gotcha cuda. And we're still going too. Very good. Very good. Girl with the red head? Red red hair? Mm-hmm. Oh, she's a Queen Vaughn. Oh, yeah. She's a Queen Vaughn type of girl.
SPEAKER_01Damn. Is there anybody? Is there any witnesses? No.
SPEAKER_02Bow! Oh, man. When she said that, I was like, yo. We got something. Okay. So out of all of that, you heard you heard the list that I said, right? Mm-hmm. None of them are going. Like, let's be real. Right when all of them all had their run, right? My hero came back and stopped it off with their finale. Now we're about to get JJK. Now we're about to get Fire Force. Now we're about to get Black Clover. Now we're about to get My Hero Academia. My Hero Academia the spinoff. That one's gonna stink a little bit under all these big ones. Then in April, One Piece comes back in the fucking L Bath arc. Ooh.
SPEAKER_01The quality is gonna go insane.
SPEAKER_03Farron don't have a chance.
SPEAKER_01Not a chance. Freeron is definitely a sleeper. I will tell you. I will, I will, I will, I would look you in your eyes and I will tell you Frerein is definitely a sleeper. But it's one of those that when we have nothing, we don't really bring it up. Except me, because I, you know, I'm obviously in the podcast and I love it, and I talk to you who hates it. So I gotta bring it up to get on your nerves. I love it. But as a whole, the Freyron fan base, it's a very low key, I would say.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, I respect the French.
SPEAKER_01But the second because y'all ain't crazy. But now we're here. And the wait time was so limited, and I'm I'm I love it. I love it.
SPEAKER_02I I won't lie. If you are a Faron fan, you're eating. Oh yeah. You're eating. You got a phenomenal first season. Your second season didn't even take less than a year to come out. And then all your bacon on the your second season keeps up with your first season. The only thing I'm telling you right now, that if y'all are thinking y'all are gonna get a popular growth, like if y'all think y'all gonna get a spike of like new fans because of season two, nah, you gotta wait until season three, dog. Gone.
SPEAKER_01All of your fans are gone with JJK coming out at the same time. The best I can hopeful, because because I'm not delusion, all right?
SPEAKER_02I'm not gonna be here and JJK's giving you a chance by coming out a little earlier two weeks earlier.
SPEAKER_01Give you a chance. So I'm not gonna be here and I'm not gonna lie to myself and tell myself we will surpass JJK, or we might even go toe-to-told JJK. The only thing I'm hoping for is that we are at least a little behind JJK because that's the best I can hope for. Nope. And I think you're gonna be right neck to neck with Fire Force.
SPEAKER_02Because I think JJK is only battling two people on this board, and it's gonna be JJK with One Piece and Black Clover. Those three are just the three unquestionable, undying.
SPEAKER_01Well, JJK is gonna go pretty well, it's gonna it's gonna have to battle health paradise, which is a little bit more of like a like a low-key. No, no, if we're not talking about Fire Force, definitely.
SPEAKER_02We're not talking about views or stats. Like we already know when it comes down to it, JJK's being every single box. Clearing. Everybody on that board who's in the same month as them, clearing. Anybody who's on that board, JJK wins. When One Piece comes out in April, clears the board. No one's winning. When Black Clover comes out on the return arc, clear the board. No one's winning that month. Guarantee you, especially the first three episodes, guarantee you no one's gonna hire higher have higher ratings than Black Clover. I'm more talking about those three who's taking it home. Anime of the year. We already know it's those three. It's down to those three. Demon Slayer is out because they're doing movies, solo leveling's taking a long time, they're not gonna make it back. Oh, Bleach is coming back for their final season, so Bleach could be on that board too, but I don't think they're gonna make it to the get to the last one. They're gonna make it on the board, but they're not gonna make it to the last one. Out of those three, I would probably say who's making it to it.
SPEAKER_01Definitely JJ Case in the like overall, I would say top two. Because I would say it One Piece has been peaked for so long that it's kind of hard to go above what you already are, which is the best. So, out of principle, out of the fact that One Piece is so old and it's so long and it's so large, and it's the one the most beloved anime in the world right now, they're not gonna give it to it. Loved, they're not gonna give it to one piece. Happy birthday, Oda. Happy birthday. That's right. First, right? Yep, yeah, happy birthday. And they're probably not gonna give it to One Piece out of principle because you're the you're the old guard, you know what I mean? You're still the best of the best, but we gotta give the new generation a chance, and we gotta give the new younger guys a chance.
SPEAKER_02I won't even lie, it's kind of crazy, but it makes sense. You're straight up garp. Dude, you're garp in the anime world. Everyone already knows, and we just don't want the fight.
SPEAKER_03Everyone knows. We just don't want to let these kids fight.
SPEAKER_01Yep. No, I mean, one one piece is gonna come in and clear everything, right? I think one piece.
SPEAKER_02Is gonna clear everything.
SPEAKER_01But anime of the year, they'll probably give they'll take a not I won't I don't want to say safe bet because JJK will definitely deserve it, but they wouldn't give it to a big one, like One Piece, out of principle.
SPEAKER_02I want to say I'm gonna ride with the black horse on this one, and I'm gonna say Black Clover is gonna take it down and become anime of the year for the first time ever. Let's I just want you to remember this. I just want you to remember this. They canceled my show. Crunchyroll wasn't gonna bring it back. Netflix gave them a deal and they scrapped up money for the deal to make one movie. We made that one movie number one for three weeks in a row. Record history books of anime. Never no anime, any anime made it to one for a whole three weeks in a row. Black Clover did that because we were fans, we're dedicated, we're like that, we're quiet, but we're coming out for the neck. We don't play. Telling you right now, we don't say shit because there's nothing to be said.
SPEAKER_01That delay's crazy though.
SPEAKER_02When it comes back, oh definitely we ain't no one punch man CGI, we ain't no overlord bullshit ass story.
SPEAKER_00Keep overlord name out your damn mouth.
SPEAKER_03We ain't no overlord bullshit ass story season three coming back after a high hiatus. We are black motherfucking cover. You know who we are, you know our CGI, you know what we do in this bitch when you give us the mic.
SPEAKER_02It's over.
SPEAKER_01Anime of the year, though. Anime of the year. Oof. That'll be a great battle. Hot take anime of the year. Definitely gonna be a great battle for anime.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, it's gonna be a phenomenal battle. Bro, this we're eating. First month of the year, bro. First month of the year. And don't even forgive, like, we got Avatar, the movie that we just got to eat. Then we're gonna get Doomsday, we get to eat up. We get so much stuff right now. It's ridiculous. Spider-Man, the new movie season, Spider-Man 4. We're gonna eat that up. Like, it's about to be like, yo, if Thanksgiving was a year, 2026 is Thanksgiving. God damn.
SPEAKER_01If you like the media, it's definitely gonna be a good year.
SPEAKER_02Well, the media is just media. They're always gonna be good.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, like the media, like shows, animes, you know what I mean? That type of media. Hollywood, I guess you can.
SPEAKER_02Hollywood.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. That's gonna definitely be a good idea.
SPEAKER_02Hollywood's dying. They don't like honestly, out of every screaming service has killed Hollywood. Fair enough, but like name a fucking American TV show that's better than anything else. Like everything else is better. I'll rather watch an English like I'll just watch something else. Like fucking Hollywood's dying, bro. Name like a Hollywood movie you went to go watch that wasn't a fucking like hero, villain. Or like some original type. Like, shit. I mean, I with the dog fucking in the back with the shotgun. What's that fucking one? What's that one movie where he takes the come here? Dog and a shotgun. Oh, I forgot you lived in a hole. They didn't give you movies. Is that like an oldie? It's a very old movie. Like pre-2015? Hell old, like in probably 19s. Oh shit. Probably in the 90s or something. What the all? It's about a it's about a boy and his dog, and they become no. They they become friends, and his dog, his dog gets sick, and they gotta put him down, and it's an emotional moment. And he said he goes plays fish frisbee with his dog one more time.
SPEAKER_01Marley and me?
SPEAKER_02Nah. Marley and me was a great movie. That broke my heart every time. See, like a movie like that. We can even say that. I don't know what the other one was. I don't I don't know what the fuck. Come back eventually. He'll come back eventually. Why the fuck do I take my shoes off? I'm getting very comfortable in this bitch. We started talking about dogs, and I was like, let me take my shoes off. Let me unwind. Let me tell y'all a story real quick.
SPEAKER_01Chill podcast.
SPEAKER_02We're gonna relax.
SPEAKER_01But um, definitely a lot of things coming out this year.
SPEAKER_02No, a lot of things are coming out. It's about to be insane. I told y'all that the anime was coming and it's coming big. We just don't have a lot right now. Like, right now, what's the top anime to watch right now?
SPEAKER_01Give our videos. Get still coming out. Get up.
SPEAKER_02That one's definitely like Sakamoto days if you haven't watched it. Dante Dawn, if you want to watch something chilling. But these are these recommendations are just for anime fans. Like if we're talking about like a common anime fan, like someone who's just like, I want to watch anime, but I ain't really into that shit.
SPEAKER_01Like normy ones, I'll probably say something like Sakamoto is a pretty normy anime.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you can watch Sakamoto. Sakamoto, you can you'll enjoy that. Casual anime.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, no high, no high risks, nothing like that.
SPEAKER_02That's another good one.
SPEAKER_01I feel like Gachikuda, you kind of have to be a little into anime itself to watch something like that. Because it's interesting. You know what I mean? The story's pretty interesting, the characters are pretty interesting.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like if you're new to anime, the story's too slow for you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02For animators, like, this is just our pace.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's a good, it's a good pace.
SPEAKER_02It's a great pace. Like, it's not going too fast, not going too slow.
SPEAKER_01Characters are great. Great. Honestly, something I was I was not expecting.
SPEAKER_02Character development, great, phenomenal. My boy will give you the hands. Doesn't matter if you're female or male. It's just equality, bro. I love it. Hey, I just knew when he when he was a kid, he was watching Batman. Guaranteed. Justice for everybody. Guaranteed. But yeah, no, like, um, there's not like really like if you're new to anime, there's not a lot of there's not a lot of good animes to put you on for brand new. Like, a lot of people are gonna give you the hype animes, like you should go watch solo leveling, JJK, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titans. Damn, those are all great.
SPEAKER_01Those are all great. Like, that's all like the big names, you know what I mean? Yeah, those are big names. It's gonna hard to try to get like a non-anime fan to watch something a little more mysterious.
SPEAKER_02Because usually a lot of people do not watch One Piece if you just start anime. I cannot stress that enough. I know y'all just heard me go crazy for One Piece right now.
SPEAKER_01It's an acquired taste. I'm gonna be honest with you.
SPEAKER_02Do not start, do not, because if you go and type in One Piece and you've never seen One Piece episodes before, you're gonna look at that episode log and you're gonna be like, What the fuck?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, I mean, like, even for me, and I was already deep into anime, it took me a while. Like, out of the big three, One Piece was the last one I watched.
SPEAKER_02Well, I was born when One Piece came out.
SPEAKER_01Well, like, I think it was like five years old when it took me, it took me a while to watch One Piece because I did I did not like the way the characters look. They're all weird and lanky and fucking and the they're all fat with little short chicken legs. I love it. It took me a while to get into it, but obviously, once you're into it, you're you're into deep already.
SPEAKER_02I loved it, and then I loved it when Oda, when everyone was like, hey, I loved it when like everybody was like, Oda, your your drawings ain't even that good no more. You don't see the times. We're in new times. Your anime can't keep up, you need to end it. Let me just give you L Bath real quick. Let me just give you Let me give you Dress Rosa real quick. Let me give you Wano real quick.
SPEAKER_01No, and it's it got to a point where Oda proved he could draw better than he does. But he only does it so that he doesn't kill himself while making One Piece. Because Oda, I've seen some of the some of the drawings that Oda makes, bro, they're amazing. They're incredibly detailed, they look much, much better than the regular manga. But the way Oda does One Piece manga is just for efficiency sake, yeah. So that he can pump out week by week for years, 20, 30 years. He'd been pumping out week by week, right? And he only does it for efficiency's sake. Kishimoto had it had later on, he had struggles because obviously he had to put his characters less detailed. And Oda is going the opposite way. Now he's drawing his characters more detailed, he's giving us more details and the background.
SPEAKER_02Don't forget, don't forget, they're close friends. So I know for a fact. I know for a fact they had that phone call, like, hey my man, you seen what happened to my baby. I thought I was retired. I thought I can like go to bed and relax and kick it all life. Damn, our sensei was right. We can't let no one touch our shit. We can't let a soul touch our shit. Once you let someone touch your creation, that's it. It's just every single time.
SPEAKER_03It's over. GT Barta, come on.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, every time. No sleep for the greats. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02Oda, do not let no one touch One Piece. Like, if you don't want to draw it no more, that's fine. Don't let anyone create a spin-off. Like, please don't. Like, if you're creating it, we're there. Man, I'm I'm I'm crying right now if that happens. But if you are retiring and you are saying, I'm gonna let the studio take over the One Piece IP and they're gonna do the spin-off, please don't. Because then we're gonna need you back in like five years. You get a five-year break, and then we're gonna need you back for another 30.
SPEAKER_01And if they damage it, the amount of damage they're gonna do, it's it's gonna put a stain.
SPEAKER_02It's gonna put a stain on it, it's gonna put a stain on it.
SPEAKER_01That's that's the type of stain you cannot unscrub.
SPEAKER_02And then I'm tired of it. Like, yo, don't do it.
SPEAKER_01If if it's ending, end it 20, 30, 30, 30 years in making more than enough.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, if you think I'm not going back right now to this day to turn on Naruto at the beginning, beginning, just to watch it, and I mean, like, I get to just go to the straight mock, like the fight scenes I want to start from and just watch. Yeah, bro, we do that. And for one piece, I mean it's almost physically impossible to do. Yeah, like like I used to when I was a kid. When I finished, when I caught up, I used to restart and and watch again. Caught up, restart and watch again. Caught up, restart and watch again. After it hit 700, I haven't restarted ever again.
SPEAKER_01Dude, that's that's months, months, non-stop. I mean, sitting down and watching four episodes, five episodes a day.
SPEAKER_02When it was at 300 and 400, okay, cool. That means like you got like you could start like the when school starts, you could start it up again and then go throughout the school and watch in One Piece and stuff. Once it hits 700, that's school summer, a beginning of school.
SPEAKER_01Hey, now we're at 1300.
SPEAKER_02I don't know, man. That's kind of well. Now we're journaling down because they're only giving us like 26 episodes a season. Yeah. Which I think is insane.
SPEAKER_01Quality's gonna go through the roof. The pacing is definitely gonna get much better, or at least I'm hoping the pacing gets better.
SPEAKER_02I think the pacing's gonna go too fast now.
SPEAKER_01Or if it does go faster, that's gonna go manga like how it's supposed to be. But you're gonna definitely see the difference though.
SPEAKER_02And I I think I'm gonna hit it. I don't I don't know if I'm gonna like it, dude. I mean, I I got so used to the pacing of One Piece to the point, like if it does pick up any faster, I might have a like I've really dragging is crazy. I will have a heart attack. I'll I'll have a heart attack, bro. If if it's like this happened, this happened, he died, this happened. Oh, say, oops up, oh no. Be continued.
SPEAKER_01I'm hopeful that if they once they come out with this and they and they get the pacing right, that they're gonna go back eventually and remaster One Piece with better pacing. And that way I was obviously gonna short it. It's not even gonna short it down that much, it's probably gonna short it down to like like a thousand episodes or something like that. Because that's how many chapters there is.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Oh, and I also got we're getting the Naruto remastered episodes this year, too. Four episodes. Dude, I am excited for that, but I'm only I'm not gonna put them on the hype list or on the board until we get a date.
SPEAKER_01That's gonna be the big three and the big screen once again.
SPEAKER_02It'll be the last time that all three of them are airing at once. Think about that.
SPEAKER_01No, yeah, it's that's the end of our childhood in the big 2026.
SPEAKER_02The big three are back. Dude, that would literally be the end of our childhood. Seeing all three of them air on a Saturday. Like, think about that. When was the last time? Like, really think about this. When was the last time you woke up and said a new bleach episode, a new Naruto episode, and a new One Piece episode? Like mid-2010s, maybe? All to make like to put icing on that delicious classic cake is if you put me in a brand new full metal alchemist episode. If you gave me a full brand new Alchemist series on top of all this glaze, that's just time traveling.
SPEAKER_01At this point, that's just time traveling right there. We're back to the 90s now.
SPEAKER_02Where do I buy my ticket? Man, I cannot believe I didn't do nothing this New Year's, bro. It's still eating me up inside. Don't worry, bro. You got no money.
SPEAKER_01You had a you had a real relaxed New Year's.
SPEAKER_02I know. I should have asked you for$100.
SPEAKER_01What? I don't even have that much money on me.
SPEAKER_02I'm broke. I'm broke. But that$100 could have got me somewhere. To the club? Hell no.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01You could have kept it. Now, if you would have told me I'm hungry, I want to eat, blah, blah, blah, I got you. But if I check your story and you're in the club, bro, I'm hacking your account and I'm going, I'm sending you to the negative, bro. I'm getting my hundred back.
SPEAKER_02I promise you, I promise you, on everything I love, that's gonna happen one day. On everything I love. I am definitely gonna tell you I'm starving. I need 50 bucks. And then I'll be gonna check my post and I'm gonna be like, hey, I got all the shop, bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got the shop, girl. Here you go. Boom, boom, boom. Don't worry, it's good. Oh man. Hey, fake it till you make it, bro.
SPEAKER_00That's all I don't fake me. What the hell? I'm faking it with you.
Stranger Things Finale Rant
SPEAKER_02Oh, I'm not faking you. I'm talking to everybody else. You're just taking the downfall of this situation. Speaking of all this, bro, is it now certified, guaranteed, without a doubt, there is no other show from America, India, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, Russia. There's no show that had a better season one than One Piece. Is that the longest season one of all time? Of all time. Right? It's gotta be. It gotta be. It gotta be. There's no way there's another show. Even the Simpsons don't have a season one like that.
SPEAKER_01My mind it still doesn't understand why you would end it at 1300 episodes and call it season one. Take another delay, take another six-month break, and then come back and give me the better pacing. You already took a six-month break, and you came back and you didn't tell me that was the end of season one. Why on earth would you call it season one? It makes no damn sense. Plus, season two is only gonna have what, like 300 episodes? No, season two, twenty-six. No, no, like in total, I mean like by the time season two comes out, and then by the time you finish One Piece, it's probably gonna have like 200 or 300 episodes. Yeah. Why would you not just take a delay? It makes no sense. My mind cannot understand it. I feel like making it season one of One Piece is so unnecessary. Money. They already have money.
SPEAKER_00More. They already have more. More. You got the One Piece live action show that's bringing you more. More. You got movies, that's bringing you more. More. You got merch that's bringing you more. More.
SPEAKER_01You got Lego pieces, which I got for Christmas, actually. And it's amazing. I'm building it as we speak. Why would you want so much money?
SPEAKER_00It's not enough.
SPEAKER_01It's not enough. Dematoy animations. And you're still fucking erupt with Sanji, too.
SPEAKER_02Hey, hear me out. I just want to tell you their brilliant plan. And let me just break it up.
SPEAKER_01I think it's a stupid plan.
SPEAKER_02You want me to break your bubble?
SPEAKER_01Do you what you mean?
SPEAKER_02Do you want me to break your bubble? When One Piece was first out and America was a dick and didn't let dub really grow with the sub. How far back was dub and sub?
SPEAKER_01Like two hundreds of episodes. Hundreds and hundreds of episodes. Okay. Because it just barely caught on like two years ago.
SPEAKER_02Now we're what? Ending of the season. There's about probably 50 to 60 episodes that dub hasn't caught up yet.
SPEAKER_04Right?
SPEAKER_02Now we're taking the hiatus. Dub's gonna catch up to the final season, right? So being the hottest and the biggest brand of anime in history, and you see the box number that Demon Slayer got. Let me tell you something, Buck. Let me tell you something real. Really real. It is the year 2035. It is 2035. Me and you are big hosting the podcast. Shit's going great and everything. All of a sudden we get a notification on our phone. Title One Piece Movie. How much are you paying to go watch that movie buck? How much is it taking? Like 20? Oh, it's gonna be taxed. Oh, it's gonna be taxed out your wazoo.
SPEAKER_01Stupid AMC. But I'm there.
SPEAKER_02And and exclusive last episode popcorn buckets. Exclusive last episode T-shirts. Exclusive last episode screenings. Exclusive episode IMAX screenings. How much money buck by yourself are they gonna make off of you?
SPEAKER_01I'm just buying the ticket and some merch. I'm not buying the bucket, but I will buy a shirt minimal. And that shirt's gonna cost you like 30 bucks. Hear me out.
SPEAKER_02Hear me out. I'm definitely gonna buy the shirt. I'm definitely gonna buy a ticket. And I'm gonna buy a bucket. You want me to tell you why I'm gonna buy a bucket? What is One Piece?
SPEAKER_01The friends we made along the way.
SPEAKER_02Yes, and also what else? A legacy. Pirates. What does pirates sail on? Stealing. Ships. Ships.
SPEAKER_00I don't know where we're going.
SPEAKER_02You don't know where we're going with this?
SPEAKER_01No. But throw it at me. Throw it at me.
SPEAKER_02What if all the popcorn buckets was the ships of all of the One Piece? So you had the Golden Mary, you had this one, you had Law Ship, you had Kid Ship, you had Shanks ship, you had Chopper holding the popcorn for you. You're telling me you're not buying one of those?
SPEAKER_01That's easily gonna be like 75 bucks for the bucket.
SPEAKER_02Oh, easily, God easily. And especially if they have the go and marry and the sunny at the same time. It's a lot.
SPEAKER_01I'm not paying. I'm not paying. I'm buying a shirt. Oh no, I'm buying a bucket.
SPEAKER_02You gotta remember, it's gonna be the last time you know these popcorn buckets, they never come back, and they're out the wazoo when it's gone.
SPEAKER_01But if we get popular and famous, they're gonna give them to us. No, they're not. Because we could promote the movie. We're not we're talking 2035. If we're still doing a podcast by 2035 and we're not millionaires, we should have burned this building down five years ago.
SPEAKER_00So if you were a millionaire, you're buying all of it?
SPEAKER_01No, I'm getting it for free. I'm telling them, give it to me for free, and I will talk about the One Piece movie. I'm already gonna talk about it, but that gives me a little bit of leverage. And it's it's gonna cost them what, like two cents to give me a bucket, and I'm gonna be a happy camper. It's not gonna cost them two cents, bro. It's gonna cost them like they manufacture hundreds of those a minute.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but it's not gonna cost them two cents.
SPEAKER_01It's probably gonna cost like a buck max. Bro, they're gonna give you everything. The package is gonna cost them 20 bucks max.
SPEAKER_02Bruh.
SPEAKER_01You are gonna be the cheapest millionaire I ever met, bro. How do you stay rich if you don't spend money? Unless you're making more money. True. So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna become a penny pincher. I'm gonna be like, I know you're gonna start asking me for money, and I'm gonna be like, nope. And you're gonna be like, I need gas money, and I'm like, You're a millionaire, get away from me. And I'm not giving nobody money. Okay, Dr. Scrooge. Dick. Well, you're gonna have more money than me. What are you talking about? Me? Yeah. Yeah, I'm always gonna have more money. That's what I'm saying. So why would you ask me for money? I'm not gonna ask you for money.
SPEAKER_03I'm wondering why won't you just buy the popcorn bucket?
SPEAKER_01We both have money here. You can buy it for me. Yeah. No. Then then I'm gonna have to then I'm gonna have to start telling them, like, yo, hug me up. I'll be a promoter.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna watch them say no and then say yes to me. Get the popcorn buckets, and then you're gonna sit there.
SPEAKER_01I'm stealing it.
SPEAKER_02And I'm gonna just be like this with all the popcorn buckets, like, hey, Buck. Did you watch the movie? Oh man. But yeah, nah. One Piece, greatest season. I think it's gonna be the I think it's going down as the greatest season one. There's no doubt about it. Bro, it went from 1999 graphics to 2025 graphics when it ended. Cinema.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, there's no way they're gonna fumble this.
SPEAKER_02Made me cry, made me laugh, made me joy, made me hopeful, made me want to live.
SPEAKER_01Made me very angry.
SPEAKER_02Very angry.
SPEAKER_01Very, very angry.
SPEAKER_02Very angry.
SPEAKER_01And that's why we love it.
SPEAKER_02Delfamingo, you the goat, though. That's a fact. I won't even cap down. Like everyone, yeah, you know, you what you did was wrong.
SPEAKER_01Fuck it, you were a goat.
SPEAKER_02You were a goat.
SPEAKER_01Nah, that's that's without a fact.
SPEAKER_02Like after COVID, all the bullshit, it feels now fun again.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02What's next? Oh, okay. This is gonna make me mad, so I'm gonna grab some water real quick. Buck, you don't watch the show, so you can announce it without being very furious. Explain Strangers.
SPEAKER_01Stranger things. What a what a disaster's end for a phenomenon of a show. Or I that's what I hear, anyways, right? That's the sentiment online. Now I haven't seen the last season, but people are pretty pissed, safe to say. And the season finally ended, the show finally ended, 10 years in the making, only gave us five seasons. The movie got put on theaters and made a bunch of money, and then the theaters took that money because Netflix doesn't have any guilds or writing, whatever. So they lost money there. But people are incredibly mad about how the show ended. Now, you've seen the show, and without spoiling anything, not seeing the show, love the show.
SPEAKER_02There's a difference of seeing it. I love that bitch.
SPEAKER_01How many, how many seasons of it? Five.
SPEAKER_02All five seasons? What do you mean?
SPEAKER_01Because it's five seasons. How many seasons did he love?
SPEAKER_02Oh, that I love season one was phenomenal.
SPEAKER_01That was a great season.
SPEAKER_02Season two is phenomenal. Season three. People are like back and forth with season three, but me personally.
SPEAKER_01Is that the one with the Russians? It's the one with the Russians.
SPEAKER_02It's the one with the Russians.
SPEAKER_01That's all. The Soviets, I guess.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02We got great characters out of that season.
SPEAKER_01I know they always they always used to make edits about the the Russian guy, the one that when he was when he won the teddy bear. Yeah. And the and the game show or whatever. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Like, it's not my most beloved season, but for the fact that I got my one homegirl that uh came to the show. I forgot her name. What's her name? Um the one that was working with Steve in the Oh, the redhead?
Fallout Obsession And Gaming Tangent
SPEAKER_01In the ice cream shop? In the ice cream shop. I don't know. Oh, she's something hawk. She's the daughter of I think an Amelia Hawk or something like that. Something like that. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. But um, she she came into the show, which was great, and then we got Ed. That's the that's the old crazy guy with glasses. He's dope. So season three, take it or leave it, we got phenomenal characters out of it. Season four. So where love starts to die. Oh boy, starts to die quick. Season four four started phenomenal.
SPEAKER_03It ended great. It just felt when you were watching it that something big was going to happen.
SPEAKER_02Season five complete let down. Everything about season five was a complete utter disaster. The only thing that was great about season five is that we got a lot of we got a lot of moments that we were waiting for, and we got a lot of moments that we wanted to know or get revealed. Everything else about it was terrible. There was no demagorgons, there was no flying bats, dude. All of this shit, dude, everything was bad, bro. The main boss didn't even feel like it was the main boss material. Why was the military there? They didn't even join the last fight. So if the military, like, what was the point of just having the military go and like how did everybody get off? Didn't that girl just shoot military people to get into the fucking place? Into the upside down wait. Now that I really think about it, spoilers. I don't spoiler, I don't give a fuck. Hour in. I'm pissed. I said I was pissed. She pulled up there like she was Queen Vaughn, smoked like three military sergeants in front of everybody, and then drove in and defeated the Demi Gorgon and did all that extra bullshit, right? How is she not in jail? How are none of them in jail? How did all of them get away scot-free? Oh, wait, I forgot this was a fucking game and it wasn't fucking real.
SPEAKER_03My bad.
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say immunity, but hey, whatever works.
SPEAKER_02I hate this fucking show. I hate this fucking show. Like Stranger Things, I promise you, season five, you are the worst thing that came on TV this year, and it's the first day of the year.
SPEAKER_01Definitely the biggest thing that came off this year, too.
SPEAKER_02Oh, 100%. Like, bro, everybody, bro. I made my I didn't have waffles, but I made me some pancakes and some steak. The pancakes were for L. The steak was for for the for the dad. Like I was I was in my fucking stranger thing, but yeah. And then what a letdown, huh? Dude, it was such a letdown, you don't even understand. Like, you don't understand it. They understand it. You don't fucking understand how mad I am. I'm going with the vibe. Like, you're just going with like how mad. No, bro. I am just so livid. This was so stupid. Like, oh, whatever. We're over it. Whatever.
SPEAKER_04Get out of here.
SPEAKER_02Shut up. 6.5 out of 10 for Stranger Things. Ooh. What a drop. 6.5.
SPEAKER_00That's a barely decent. That's a barely okay show.
SPEAKER_02Season 1, 10 out of 10. Yep. Season 2, 9, 9 to 8 out of 10. Season 3, season 3, we go all the way down to a 8 to a 7 out of 10. But I'll give it an 8 because we got great characters. Season 4, we bumped it all the way back up to a 9 out of 10 because of the hypedness they gave us. Season five was awful.
SPEAKER_01Are we thinking some because you know, Game of Thrones, for example, that last season they gave us burned all the goodwill they had made in the past 10 years. And then look at it, nobody talks about Game of Thrones no more. All they talk about how bad the ending was. Would you say that Stranger Things season five will also do that same amount of damage that the last season, season seven of Game of Thrones did? And just basically wipe off all the goodwill Stranger Things has built. No. No.
SPEAKER_02No, because they because they have a cult following. And the people that really, really like Well, remember, Game of Thrones was the biggest thing ever. Yeah, but that was like they didn't say it was a game at the end of the day. So this is worse? This is worse. Stranger things is worse. Worse.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I see what you're saying.
SPEAKER_02Because when you go to Game of Thrones, how it happened, you don't have to like it. You can hate it and all of it. But it gave you closure of how this story was ending. You might have hated the fucking story. You might have not partaken the story, but you still got closure in everything that happened, and you're good not even seeing nothing else. That's it. We're fine. We we do want the real story because it was bullshit because we don't like it, but we are okay, and we'll still go back and watch Game of Thrones. Maybe not the last episode. But we'll go to six seasons. Yeah, six seasons. We'll watch that. Stranger Things. I don't know how you're going like ever like you're literally going to get the same treatment of Game of Thrones. Stranger Things. Great show. Last season, terrible. And it's wild because this had Netflix undivided love, attention, and money behind it, killed the main fucking villain an hour in to a two-hour movie.
SPEAKER_01That makes no sense. That's that's just terrible writing.
SPEAKER_02Let me let me utter you again. The thing that we've been fighting for 10 years, and you can't even say we have it because those were children in season one, and in the last episode, the main girl has her own kid. So I'm just saying right now, that last episode, that last season, oh my god, just for the fact that y'all couldn't even give your main bad guy the utter respect to have him die 10 minutes before the movie was about to just be over, where people thought it was just about to be it. We had an hour, dude. When he died, I turned I I turned on my video game, I was about to go play Fallout, and then when I did that, I paused it and I realized it was half. Ooh, like you know when you go and it was half. The little line was half. So I was like, oh, so Vecna didn't die. Let me keep watching. We won! Yay! Let's blow up the w let's blow up the upside down with no problems whatsoever. We did it! Yay! Let's go and escape home.
SPEAKER_03We graduated. Yay!
SPEAKER_02Let's go play Dungeons and Dragons, guys. I'm sorry, bro. That was the worst hype up to the ending of endings of Earth. Graduation was phenomenal. I like the graduation scene. Graduation scene was great. Them playing DD for the last time and then putting all their boards away. Phenomenal. That can be 10 minutes. Yeah. Literally. An hour long, so every single side character can get their last 10 minutes of screen time. It's so uncalled for.
SPEAKER_01I'll say like two to three minutes max. Like not even like a minute, literally. All you need to show is like one clip of them doing something that they wanted to do.
SPEAKER_02In a movie.
SPEAKER_0330 minutes when the villains already dead.
SPEAKER_00Give them when the villains already dead. Give them 15 seconds of pop max. Yes.
SPEAKER_0115 seconds, man.
SPEAKER_03And the three minutes is for the graduation. A little montage. Literally. A little, little, little ass montage. Oh, you wanna know what's the worst part? While they were killing the main guy, they were in a montage.
unknownBro.
SPEAKER_03So you saw a montage while seeing the what?
SPEAKER_00While in the peak of the moment.
SPEAKER_02And I don't even want to get to the start of them just not knowing how to hold a gun. It's just stupid. This whole thing was stupid. Anyone who backs up that this was the phenomenal, like last episode that you all been waiting for, that y'all paid money to go to the movie theaters, your hard-earned money for. Y'all all got scammed. Every single one of y'all.
SPEAKER_01I don't understand why Netflix can't write a good fucking ending. It's hard. It's hard. It's really hard to write a good ending. After those many delays, I bet.
SPEAKER_02It's just hard. Look at Oda. He cannot fumble the bag.
SPEAKER_01Whoa. Oda could literally just go say us, tell us some shit, and then go to black, and then that's it. That's peak. Be honest. True, but like, you know, there's there's a difference. There's levels to this shit. Stranger Things is cool, but if you're an anime fan in any capacity, you know you cannot talk bad about fucking One Piece. You might die.
SPEAKER_02Shut up. Nah, but you are right. Um, all right, let's wrap this up with the last thing on the topic list. Fuck, I got two more things on this fucking board.
SPEAKER_04How long am I gonna be here?
SPEAKER_02God damn it. Alright. I'm hooked on Fallout. I've been playing, I've been playing Fallout, Fallout 4. Okay, guys, I am not a true Fallout fan yet. I'm a rookie Fallout fan. I'm only playing Fallout 4 because it got remastered, but I am a Fallout phenomenal hooked. I am a hooked to the line sinker. Nuka Cola, baby. If you know, you know. Nuka Cola, baby. Have you ever played Fallout?
SPEAKER_01I tried it. I couldn't really get too much into it.
SPEAKER_02Unfortunately, you should play Fallout now. Yeah. You should go home, buy a PlayStation 5, download, buy Fallout.
SPEAKER_01I got them all. On Steam Deck, Xbox, you name it. I got them all. Do not. You need a PlayStation.
Pennywise vs Vecna And Final Sendoff
SPEAKER_02I got a Steam Deck. We good. You need a PlayStation. Are you gonna get that Steam system?
SPEAKER_01That's a great question, actually. It's kind of I'm wondering. Questioning.
SPEAKER_02I would like I I could see you, I could see you with the Steam system. I can see you with it. Like, I'm just wondering, would you get it?
SPEAKER_01My my favorite thing about that is because I don't think you have to pay for online play. No, you know you don't. So that's looking for the play.
SPEAKER_02You don't have to play for online play on regular PC anyway. No, and now now what you're paying for.
SPEAKER_01Well, you're buying the pass, right? To play online, any any multiplayer game and shit.
SPEAKER_02Nah, because you could you don't have to buy that. You can still play like Fortnite. You can play.
SPEAKER_01That's only the free ones. I'm saying like the regular ones. If I wanted to play GTA, for example, I would have to buy the pass. Versus Steam, which you don't have to buy the pass, you just have to buy the game.
SPEAKER_02I don't think so anymore. Because like what the pass is for now is like for games now. So like I get access to all of PlayStation, because I pay a monthly fee, I get access to all of PlayStation's exclusive games for free. All of their old school games from three topics.
SPEAKER_01Also, you can wait, was that a thing?
SPEAKER_02I think No, I think that's gone. I think that's old stuff.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because I do remember, I do remember PlayStation having like a little face, like a lawsuit or something like that, that kind of made him go back on that. I know I mean, for example, Xbox does it. That's why I thought PlayStation would do it as well. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Well, Xbox do it because they got Game Pass. Yeah, they got Game Pass.
SPEAKER_01If you want to play any online multiplayer game that's not free, you gotta buy the pass.
SPEAKER_02So think of that, but all the Sony games, and that's it. You still gotta buy everything else though.
SPEAKER_01So, for example, if I if I buy for PlayStation, if I buy Call of Duty and I want to play multiplayer, I have to buy the pass, or I don't have to buy the pass.
SPEAKER_02I don't think you have to buy the pass.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's pretty interesting.
SPEAKER_02I'm not sure. You might have convinced me. I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't think you do. I do it because I like playing old games. So like one day I'll just go and play the old Crash Bandit Cube. I'll just play some old games, like because I got like PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 games. We're getting very off track here, but yes. But yeah, I'm getting very off track. But Fallout fan. Fallout fan. I will now, I am now going to watch the show. Season two just came out. I am I already bought I already bought my Nuca Cola drinks that you can get from Costco. I got my blue one, I got my grape one, and I got my root beer one. I am ready. I am a Fallout fan. I might buy the poker set, I might buy the cans, I might buy the bottles. You're lucky I just got from Vegas, or I would be hooked. I am so Fallout is so fun that I advise you to play it.
SPEAKER_01I'm more of a Skyrim guy. But I'm not I'm not getting a Skyrim 6 for another five more years. 10. So I'm cooked. So play Fallout. I'm cooked. Play Fallout.
SPEAKER_02Play Fallout. Play Fallout. Puff, play Fallout.
SPEAKER_01Play Fallout. Please play Fallout. I'm going back in time. I'm gonna play Fallout Vegas. Because that's a good one, apparently. That's the best one.
SPEAKER_02Everyone says I didn't play, I didn't pick Vegas yet. People can get mad at me if you want. Fallout 4 got remastered because of the show, and it got 4K graphics. Sorry, guys. If I'm brand new to the if I'm brand new to the show, if I'm brand new to the block, you kind of want me to play with the good graphics so I can really get into it. I like seeing the water all in. It's great. It is great. It is phenomenal. I'm having so much fun.
SPEAKER_01I'll get back to you on that.
SPEAKER_02I will be watching Fallout Season 1 tonight, guaranteed, and I cannot wait. Buck, get back to me on that. I will get you hooked on Fallout 2. I'm gonna bring some actually, I'm gonna buy another case tomorrow. Uh I'm gonna go to Costco tomorrow and buy another two cases of the Coca-Cola drinks because they're like exclusives. I'll bring I'll bring a box in here. Because you know, we have a lot of fucking shit for our podcast history. No, yo. You know what's actually funny? Like, we always wondered about our decorations, and we realize that like just it just naturally are just starting to just collect itself.
SPEAKER_01We're just getting little things and putting them up in the wall. I know we're just putting them up on the wall.
SPEAKER_02I'll bring, I'll bring the case, we'll open it up. That'll be our that'll be something we could test on the podcast, but I love it and it's sick as fuck, it's dope as fuck, hella, hella worth it. Cool, coop, cool back to the show. No, I'm just playing. Love Fallout. I am now a Fallout guy. Give me a minute to get the lingo right. I only have 14 hours of Fallout, and that's little. You need a lot more hours to win Fallout. Now for the final thing, so we can get the hell out of here because this has almost been a two-hour podcast. So exciting! Oh my god, dude. All right, Stranger Things is over. It season one is over. There was a lot of talk on the internet. Who had the better season?
SPEAKER_01Pennywise or Vecna? Pennywise. Ooh, without a doubt. Let me hold my tongue. Let me think about this. Because obviously, popularity-wise, Stranger Things can't really be beat. But quality-wise, it can be beat. I can be beat. It can beat definitely. This is the lowest Stranger Things has ever been. So I would I would definitely give this year alone. Y'all don't understand how much this hurts me to fucking admit. I would definitely give it to Derry. I think Derry came in out of nowhere. It literally punched us in the gut and it said, I'm out. And we're not even gonna see these characters ever again because we're going back 27 years in the past. So I feel like for a standalone season, this was great. This was such a great show to have come in randomly out of nowhere to just be like, I'm here and then I'm gone.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna be honest with you. I wanted to say Stranger Things, and Vecna was gonna be Pennywise guaranteed dog out of the water. But no, if you lose to a shotgun and a 12-year-old girl, I guess I can't say shit. Apparently 12. I I know she's probably 40. I'm just playing. I'm just playing. I am very upset right now. I am sorry. But this is this is stupid. It won. It's great. I can't wait for it season two. Stranger Things, don't ever show your face again. I'm sorry. I probably rewatched the first season because the first season was phenomenal.
SPEAKER_01Just to remember my finally over, so I'm definitely gonna binge it now because I have to not want to wait. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go back and binge it. The first season I do have very fun memories of.
SPEAKER_02One, two, three, and four. You will have fun with five. It's gonna be a fucking struggle. It's gonna be a fucking struggle the whole way. It's gonna drag. The whole fucking way. Um, I wasn't even really. Talking in the mic, so I don't even think they heard me. So, yes, I am very upset. So, we will rewind. We got a lot of stuff to do on this podcast. But anyway, happy new year, everybody. From Mr. High from Buck. We hope y'all have a great new year. We hope y'all get everything y'all got in this year. We hope y'all see us, cheer for us, like us, follow us, and how was my Chris Rock impressing? Let me know.
SPEAKER_03And that's it.
SPEAKER_02We out of here. Remember the one. Remember the number one thing. Watch some motherfucking anime. I'm out.
SPEAKER_00Peace.
