I got some anime hot takes from Reddit, starting off with seven daily sins has some of, if not the best, character writing in shonen. That's not a hot take. It's not a hot take, but it was wasted, with the show having a phenomenal first season and the animation and story writing just falling off a deep hill. Okay, well, what about this one? Sasuke is the greatest, if it's not anime, at least definitely the best naruto character ever written. He's so complex that even sasuke glazers don't understand all the nuance of his character. And then they put edit. Yes, I know about guts and he's great. Before anyone gets mad, he's just aaron's bewildered. Wait, wait, wait. Aaron is bewildered. Read the first sentence. Read the first sentence sasuke is the greatest, if not in anime, at least definitely the best naruto character ever written. What it sounded like a hot take, nah, dude, that's it's. That's a terrible take. Is he even? No, sasuke? No, no, I enjoy sasuke as a character, but to put him at the best of anything is insane. Okay, okay, uh. What about this one? There's multiple hot takes in one person for one person. Naruto is the worst of the big three. It's debatable. It's debatable. Death note and cold gias are both overrated. No, that's a. That's a. That's not even a hot take, that's a terrible taste. Cold gias is really good and death note is really good. They're both, they're. They both play on psychological, like code geass not really on psychological, but code geass. It plays on relationships and like how far would you go for a certain thing. And death note is. It plays on the. What is it when you're blind to yourself? Oh, like when you're delusional. Delusional, yeah, it plays on delusions of people being good or bad people. I can't, I can't say is. I started watching it but I'd already had the plot spoiled from the cj video that we reacted to. I can't say it's overrated, especially considering it came out like 2006. It's really. Death note is actually good, like depth. For what it is. Death note is really good. It stood. It stood.
Speaker 1:It's been talked about for this long and it stood the test of time. You know how many anime dropped that dropped 10 years ago? People don't even know exist Exactly. Death Note is good and we're talking. There's network shows that people don't talk about. You got to think about. I can imagine in the early 2000s a show about a notebook where you write somebody's name in it and they die. That concept in itself that's solid, like putting that power in anybody's hand. It's a little bit insane. And then to see where the person that finds this notebook ends up and how he's delusional.
Speaker 1:Yeah, come on, and the last one from this person classroom of the elites anime up there with TPN in terms of atrocious anime adaptations. I don't know what tpn is he. He's saying it's an atrocious anime adaptation. So does anybody out there in the comments know what tpn, n or m tpn? I don't, I don't know what that is. Tpn, okay, okay, um, but uh, I've heard that it is a bad anime. I've asked him of the elite I heard this about, but it's like I don't think nothing is uh, uh, as bad as promise Neverland, tpn, the promise Neverland.
Speaker 1:Oh, somebody else put Sasuke is one of the best. No, dude dude. No, no, no, no, no, he's not. No, he's not sasuke bro. Sasuke is a clone of ie bro, he's a worse written ie and, like we got a gojo, is overrated. I don't feel he's overrated. I feel he's overhated. Yeah, he's probably over it's, I feel like because of the fandom. Yeah, I feel like as soon as people start loving something there, people start hating it. Yeah, he's probably. Well, I can't say he's overrated, because they do make him out to be that nigga. His purpose is to be him for the for the, for the majority of the show he really now granted. If you read the manga you know. But even with reading the manga he I don't think he's overrated. I don't think he's overrated.
Speaker 1:We got two hunter hunter hot takes okay, the first one is hunter hunter sucks. Oh, it's nothing but exposition constantly with some okay fights. It shouldn't take a hundred episodes for any show to get to the good part, not to mention the whole hisoka pedo vibe, shit overrated. As naruto, uh, no, I feel like hunter hunter did a great job of world building. Hunter hunter was really slow. But hunter hunter, you, you there for the vibe, like I don't. I think hunter hunter was okay. Like I don't put hunter hunter, oh, this gonna boy relax, whoa, I don't put hunter hunter top 10 anywhere, right, but it's an enjoyable show. And then somebody else put this is another one.
Speaker 1:The chimera ant arc in hunter hunter is way too long. No, it's not. How about? How long was it? No, it's not, it's. It's a long arc in anime standards. But that joint good, he's making a surprise face.
Speaker 1:Jjk never deserved its success. Oh like sure it can be entertaining, but that's it barely. Decently decent writing and besides, like four panels, the art sucks, more carried by animation than Demon Slayer. Damn, that's a hot take. I don't even agree with that one. Also, I'm going to die on this hill.
Speaker 1:Gage Akutani, he hate y'all. I can see if you're talking about like where it went, but in terms of it dropping first season coming out like it deserved what it got, it's a cool, it's solid, but it's a solid. But jj, but all you jjk fans. Gay gay akutami, he hate y'all. Why does he hate them, man? He hates, he don't, he don't care about y'all, he hate y'all. He don't love y'all, bro and y'all. As soon as y'all realize y'all in a toxic relationship with this, this manga writer, you're gonna be happy in life. He hates y'all, bro.
Speaker 1:Jesus christ, uh, next up we got boruto is good and I haven't seen any criticism of it that makes any sense. While I get my food, aaron, I'm gonna let you go ahead and talk about that. Boruto is not good. Borutouto is terrible. Let's talk about this fundamentally. Okay. Boruto essentially is was.
Speaker 1:We expected the follow-up to Naruto to be anything but this and we ended up with a kid who spoiled it. Just terrible. And it sucks because when you look at Boruto, boruto is undoing a lot of the the previous built world building that was built in Naruto. Right, boruto as a character is absolutely terrible. He's dog, one of the few characters like. I genuinely hate Boruto and granted, post time, post time skip, he looked cool, all like it looked. But at this point, bro, I genuinely don't give a damn and I don't give a F about Boruto as a series.
Speaker 1:There are several criticisms. Uh, you have the animation, the storytelling. There's a lot of criticism. And if you're like, oh well, the animation was bad in Naruto, oh, the storytelling was bad in Naruto, no, it was not. No, it was not animation, it was not Animation bad. Every show got some bad animation.
Speaker 1:But you're a new gen and you're terribly drawn. Come on bro. Come on, bro, you're terribly drawn. Yeah, I was terribly drawn, bro and bro, you want to talk about a show that takes forever to find its footing? Boruto, boruto, boruto. All right, y'all For those listening. I have some kava, mediterranean. Oh, I'm about to order me some too. Like it's similar to like Chipotle vibes. It's like a Mediterranean Chipotle, mediterranean Chipotle. Basically. Next hot take says I'll go first.
Speaker 1:Jojo. Part 5 is least impressive compared to the other parts and it is a chore to get through. Jojo fans are going to hate whoever. Oh my God, oh, ok, I thought she was about to. No, I'm not. I ain't never going to be with the JoJo community, bro. I don't want no smoke with them. Y'all freaky. I don't want no smoke with the JoJo community. Well, what about that one? Oh, this ain't no smoke man.
Speaker 1:But UU Hawkinshow is underrated and better than most new gen shonen. Yes, without a question, without a question, without a question. Uu Hawkinshow, that joint peak. It's peak, bro. You like that Bro? Uu Hawkinshow is top five for me, ain't? Ain't it from the 90s? Yeah, yeah, it has. It has some of the best like villain writing, some of the best like story developments, best arcs, um, and like they really be putting that shit on too, bro, the boys are stepping, they stepping. Okay.
Speaker 1:Next up is attack on titan is super overrated for a one-dimensional premise. No, I don't agree with that, but I also feel like it is. I feel like it's over. I don't feel like it's overrated, I feel like I feel like there's an edit. There's an edit. Okay, I said edit. One dimensional is the wrong term and not what I meant. A more accurate term would be ridiculous to me.
Speaker 1:It feels as if attack on titan was a cartoon in the 70s that's been rebooted by hollywood and they've added a bunch of elements and plots to surround a silly based premise of giant humans fighting Spider-Man with swords. There's no hate. I gave it three seasons and it just never took to me. Alright, I'm just gonna leave that one there. No, we can't leave that. How do you get that, bro? That's a terrible premise. They're in a city of giant walls.
Speaker 1:First episode, boom, titans attack and guess what? We, as the main character and a young child, don't know why these titans are attacking us. We don't know why they killed my mom. How was that not? No, that mother bro, I ain't gonna lie to you. Nah, whoever wrote that.
Speaker 1:That's a terrible take, like, if we be honest, attack on titan, my gripe with attack on titan. I felt like it was a cash grab. Towards the end, like I feel like attack on titan could have definitely been definitely finished quicker. It just felt like, oh, let's milk this for all, all we can get it for, because it was one of the biggest shows that you know. And it's coming to a close. Everybody's watching all eyes on you. Oh, you think we're gonna give you the last season in one part. Wait, get it to us in three parts, bro, bro. What we? How you give me the last season in three parts, bro. What we doing, bro? Um, next hot. Take vinland saga.
Speaker 1:While having undeniable qualities, also has enormous flaws. It gives Thorfinn pretty much no agency. Vikings were never so Japanese. The historical events are simplified down to a ridiculous level. The pacifist preaching gets truly annoying. The end of season two is that just dumb.
Speaker 1:Everybody knows how I feel about Thorfinn the podcast. People know how you feel about Thorfinn the podcast. People know how you feel about Thorfinn F improving as a person. You are a certified murderer. Yeah, yeah, be that bro, be that bro. That's why I like.
Speaker 1:We saw the CJ video on it and it was like this is who he was, and then he turned into what he turned into. I don't even want to watch it, though. He was on bumpers, bro, and I get growing and letting go of hatred. Sometimes you got to exist in it. Come on, bro, shonen is trash. Without good animation, a good guy trains for centuries, then get beaten up by the main character who just trained for two days. Okay, whatever, bro, that just boils down to taste. That boils down to taste. There's certain good shonen that don't have good animation, never mind the story.
Speaker 1:Demon Slayer's character designs are ugly as sin and I'm perpetually hit by an Uncanny Valley vibe that rivals the planet eyes whenever I look at Tanjiro. His face makes me uncomfortable and I don't want to look at him, bro, you just thought you sound like you got super autism. Like no dude, like I genuinely enjoy the art style of the demons. It's different. It's fire, bro, and it, bro. Let's be real.
Speaker 1:A lot of a lot of animes and a lot of shows. They look dang near identical, like the way demon slayer looks. I love it, I love it. I love the character design. I love how, like, the uh sword makers have the very interesting mask with funny faces. I love how each character is drawn like come on, bro, that's a if.
Speaker 1:One thing we're not gonna talk about is art, art, yeah, that art. Five, bro, death note wasn't as good as people say. Oh, my god, even before episode 25. Oh, get off, get off, get off, get off, bro, get off, let it go. That, bro, it's a good show, what it is, bro, I'm gonna be so rude with you. What is it now? It's group hating.
Speaker 1:The more you see people love something, the more you want to hate it, bro, because there's a lot of people like that, bro, there's a lot of and it's they can like something, but once they get too and they won't like it, they don't like it. No more like why just bro and I? And bro and I could talk about it, because I realized I was a part of this, like I love demon slayer. And then when everybody started talking about I'm like I did not love demon slayer, I just hated the fact, the hype it was getting and I'm like y'all niggas really don't fuck with it. Y'all didn't fuck with it at the beginning. And I'm like y'all, y'all saw one. And I'm like wait, I can't be like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is good for the show, people enjoy it. Yeah, it's good for the show if the it's good for the people that made the thing that you like. If more people are like exactly, and so like I had to grow out of that bro, that's, that's hate, bro. Oh you see. So I see you having fun now I'm mad you're having fun. Oh, you like demons. I'm not watching that crack because all y'all like it. Yeah, bro, why not check it out and see if you like? You like it. If you don't like it, naturally you actually don't like it. That's cool there. Like it. If you don't like it, naturally that's okay. If you actually don't like it, that's cool.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of stuff you probably like that people would say is ass. In fact, I don't like Slice of Life. I hate Slice of Life animes. I hate them with a passion. Why am I watching an animated show about a nigga getting a girlfriend? I don't care. Like whoa, what, wait, whoa what, all right, hot take. Dub is ass. And people that watch dub need to put down their phones. Oh, that's, that's. It's subjective, it's subjective, it's subjective. Some people don't want to have, some people don't want to or have the attention span. Okay, I see what. Yeah, I see what he's saying.
Speaker 1:He goes on to say I can easily watch the show and read at the same time without missing anything while seeing all of the animation. I think people are brain dead these days. No, so the voiceovers are over the top, cringe, garbage, yuck, okay. No, let's be honest. All right, you, bro. Voice acting is voice acting, regardless of if it's english or japanese. Also them niggas are all over the top.
Speaker 1:Also, every everybody is different. Everybody's brain doesn't process information the same way. For example, yeah, aaron can catch the most minute details while not paying attention. He can watch, quote-unquote, watch a show while editing a video and still remember key details about the show. Most 90 percent of people probably 95 cannot do that. They would be like you didn't watch it. He'd be like, yes, I watched, I remember it, I popcorn watched, I remember what the hell happened and he could probably argue about details about a show that he popcorn watched and didn't actually fully watch. So everybody's brain is not different. Some people would rather sit and watch the stuff that's going on on the screen and not worry about reading while watching. Also, you got things like dyslexia and all of that stuff out there. So you can't just judge people. You know what you know. I call them brain dead because they would rather hear their language.
Speaker 1:Do me a favor. Do me a favor, introduce us to the podcast, because I figured out what I want to talk about today. For sure that has been the Hot Takes. Welcome to the Internet City FM podcast. My name is Mike. My name's Internet Aaron. We come from a channel called Internet City and we started this podcast, internet City FM.
Speaker 1:What do you want to talk about? I got a bone to pick with you. Motherfuckers who. Podcast internet city fm. What do you want to talk? I got a bone to pick with you. Motherfuckers, right, and people, what's up? What's up with them?
Speaker 1:Empathy, empathy. What the fuck happened to empathy? Everybody don't got it. Dog, like I, like bro, like I pick with michael all the time. But I pick with michael because michael's my best friend, michael's my brother and michael picks with me all the time. Okay, we pick with each other, yeah, but the thing I'm starting to realize, bro, with the rest of the world, empathy is something that's really missing and it's like just to say someone is brain dead and also also because I'm you're about to get full adhd air in a day because I'm just sick, my brain just been needing to talk.
Speaker 1:I'm sick of people, like how people are, are handling certain shit like I'm. I'm like you can't, because you operate and move a certain type of way. That doesn't mean everyone in the world should move the way you move. Everybody's different, everybody's fucking different. Like, like, quite literally, we're all. We have a lot of similarities, have a lot of common interests, but every fucking body is. That's why you got crazy motherfuckers and you like, how could you go shoot that place up like that? It's because they're different and they're crazy. They're cuckoo for cocoa puffs and every crazy is a bag of cats. Hell. Every crazy person is different. That's why you get you can walk into a psych ward or a jail or whatever and you'll see very different levels, types of crazy people. Bro. I just I I think I'm just at this point where, like, even in understanding, like right now, I'm working on being a better friend.
Speaker 1:I already feel like I'm the best friend there is to have. I'm freaking, I'm freaking out, but I'm working on being better Because, like it's, I'm trying to just understand people where they are as I'm getting older. Just, I'm just trying to become the person I want to be and, coming into that, I'm starting to look at what's not there for a lot of people and what doesn't exist in a lot of things, and one of the simple things is just being an empath, caring about people, bro, like when did like? Granted, I know, in today's society is it's you can't be too careful with people because people take advantage of it. But when did it become a bad thing to care about people?
Speaker 1:You know what it's the internet, as much as we say it all the time because I saw a denzel washington clip, he was like I feel sorry for y'all generation because I he didn't have to worry about nine million people, or however many people that's following him or whatever, looking at every minute detail of his life. And if you think about it, what the hell do we know about denzel washington? Nothing outside of he don't got instagram. He don't got. We just know him in the movies. We've seen his wife at a couple premieres. We probably know a tiny bit of information that some tabloids got their hands on, but outside of that, we don't know nothing about denzel washington. You know what you know and guess what he is to us? A freaking idol, bro, you know.
Speaker 1:And now that I think about it, bro, I think I think there's gonna come a point in time where, like I'll remove myself from the internet, like I'm gonna still work on the internet, like do videos and stuff like that, but like I think I don't think I'll have social media. I don't think I'll have like a twitter, I'll probably have like an instagram. That's also why I don't um, I just naturally well, I'm naturally this way. So it's different. Like I'm naturally not very expressive or or informative about the things that I do, um, unless I'm like excited about something. So it's like I naturally already don't tweet a lot or post a lot of instagram pictures unless we go on a about something. So it's like I naturally already don't tweet a lot or post a lot of instagram pictures unless we go on a cool trip and it's like, oh, we went snowboarding, I'm gonna post these pictures. Yeah, like you don't see me just snapchatting it up or whatever. Same, I feel like we both naturally that way.
Speaker 1:So, even though our job is the internet and we stream and we say a lot of things, they still really don't. Yeah, we keep it separate and it's like I'm looking at stuff, bro, and it's like man, I don't know. And also you need to fucking work on that. While we're on the subject, be more expressive, bitch, not to the internet, to me, nigga, you know, you know, man, I'll be. I'll be missing my best friend, chat.
Speaker 1:I was like mike, can we play the game? He's like I'm going to see my woman. I said, okay, it's a balancing act, bruh. I spent two days with you and we left. I ain't never playing the game with you again. I said, okay, wait, what did I say? I'm making no sense, like I'm naturally not expressing whatever.
Speaker 1:But at the same time, aaron knows I know Everything about Like there's nothing more, like not only, not only do I know Everything about Mike. I can read Mike Like a book, like when, when Mike's aggravated, I'm like, alright, I ain't gonna crack jokes today. And like he won't even have said anything. And sometimes that don't even be like that, don't even be like that, don't even be like aggravated, that just be like I haven't woken all the way up, or like I'm not mad at nothing. I'm just not, I haven't, we haven't joked or opened up yet. So it's like I'm just like you know how you wake up and you like, ah, if somebody was to crash in your room right now, you'd be like I'm not really ready for all. You know. I'm saying it's not like that. It's not that I'm mad or nothing, it's just I'm just kind of sitting here doing a thumbnail. I ain't really had been introduced to aaron high energy aaron today, and it's sometimes the same way vice versa, bro, that nigga, bro, bro, that nigga bite me on 30. I'm like, please, peter, it's me. And every like, oh, bro, come on. But it's the same way Sometimes you, you know, you just not all the way up yet You're not already there. I just like, and granted, it is a tangent, bro, but this, the ADHD podcast, nigga, fuck, adhd, whoa the ADHD's. Okay, but what we was basically saying was be empathetic, bro. Yeah, be empathetic. Be empathetic.
Speaker 1:I think it's the internet that is allowing us to see a whole lot that we wouldn't normally see, cause, if you really think about it, you're like, damn, it's actually true that, for example, when we was younger yeah, maybe definitely middle school, yeah, definitely middle school when the internet was like infancy, it's like all we really have was like what myspace, bro, I have cartoon networkcom, bro, myspace and and, uh, network websites that was going to play games on. We wasn't really like, yeah, connecting with each other, mingling yeah, we wasn't mingling on the internet like that yet. So it's like all thing we knew was whatever city we was from, whatever school we, that's all we knew, whatever. Now, now it's like you exist in all spaces. Yeah, it's very bro, it's very unique, because I'm not gonna lie, like I genuinely like I love the internet because the internet, for one, it's a very good door, like everything is your fingertip fingertips, but also like just as much as the internet has like kind of.
Speaker 1:And I also think it goes to like people people aren't teaching people to care anymore. Yeah, it's a gift and a curse, because what I was getting at is because all we knew was those communities, all you knew was what you learned. And so if you're around nice, genuine people, caring people, like maybe you got a church community or whatever, your, your teachers or your friends, that's what you know. Yeah, so if outside of the loners who just didn't mingle with nobody or whatever that's, you know what your community taught you and you wasn't just, you didn't have this wide, overarching scope of the internet to judge people who you don't even know or even to put like ideals in your head. But yeah, and I'll say the other side of the internet also is like I've really fallen, fallen in love with like, seeing the idea of like, like I've been seeing this one video by uh kelly wacasa. Um, that's my creator for the week, kelly wacasa. Uh kelly took his uh girlfriend to like one of her bucket list locations and like I was like, okay, this is cool, I'm doing this when I get a girlfriend, and like I feel like the internet has shown like the other side of like how to care for people even more and to be present, and like, and I think I just wish we could remove a lot of the negativity, bro, it's all about perspective, bro. Yeah, there's a lot of. There's also a lot of people who's going through a lot of stuff. Yeah, they may feel alone or they may feel attacked through certain avenues in their life, so they take that out On other people, on other people on the internet. When the people on the internet are just minding their business, yeah. Now, if there's malicious people that you see, so be it. Yeah, like cuckoo is cuckoo, yeah, but if it's like just somebody minding their business who like to clean up their family members houses because they like to clean, leave them alone. Yeah, stop messing with people. But yeah, go ahead. Oh, I thought you, I thought you was, uh, going somewhere with that, but I probably was. But you know how adhd goes, I know. Yeah, he, he was like um and it looked down like, oh well, I guess he don't, but um, I know for a fact. We talk kind of. We heard this topic driving back from uh san antonio yesterday.
Speaker 1:The rock duane, the rock johnson man, his delusion, bro. Rocky, his delusion bro, uh, his movie just came out red one. Oh, dude, I'm not gonna see it. I saw it. I didn't plan on seeing. I might see it on a streaming platform. I didn't plan on seeing it because I already know what's up with duane his ego currently, which is the problem. But it came out.
Speaker 1:He said this in the interview that apparently Oppenheimer influenced him to do whatever with Red One. Have it in IMAX, or Oppenheimer looks so epic in IMAX 4K, it looks so big. I want Red One to be this big. And da, da, da, da da. I watched it and, bro, it was in the Cinemark xd. That was the only only thing I could watch it in. Right, right, I walk in. There's six people in there. I'm like all right, cool bro, and we saying all this to say that it's.
Speaker 1:This is basically about the rock's delusion. Yeah, it's like he believes that his star power is still like carrying his movies. I guess you could say yeah, when in reality, the movies that we like from you, they were good movies. Yeah, bro, it's, and his ego is allowing him to try to do things in the industry. That is ruining not only his reputation but your movies, bro. Yeah, dude, like I'm not gonna lie bro, I genuinely, bro, for the longest time it was the rocking cena. For me it was like nigga, neck cena. The reason I got george I'll be so real john cena is the reason I got george. Damn, they weren't cool when I was wearing them, bro. I mean, yeah, but I, I originally I'm talking early 2000s, early. Oh, you talking about middle school. Yeah, you talking about the long joint like john cena. It was like john cena and the rock. Those two were like yeah, and like, as you grow up, especially as a male figure, like you look for male figures, as you grow up to see one just kind of just fall.
Speaker 1:He was cool up until the Black Adam stuff. I still saw him as that. I feel like the Black Adam stuff just showed who he was. It showed exactly who he was and once I saw it, you can't unsee it. You see it in all his instagram posts, bro. The maui stuff, just the the in and out. The rock, the rocks brand tequila like, and the dude is freaking cool, it's just dang man. It's all that ego. Yeah, it's. He has so many products and he was promoting so much. Like, let's use instagram, for example. He's always promoting something right, but for the black adam stuff it was like it's the key. Okay, it's just, it's the rock, bro. He got a lot of stuff he promoting cool, it's still a rock. It's the rock, bro. I didn't see nothing wrong with the promo. You know what it is.
Speaker 1:I think he might still be doing the character on purpose. What you mean? Like, what if this is all purposeful? Like to always have a thing to chop it up to. Like he's never went to being duane. We never see duane, we always see the rock. What if that's the thing? Yeah, the perpetual character.
Speaker 1:The question then becomes is it working? Yeah, like, like, I can see it working product wise. I could definitely see it working product wise. We'll never know the numbers behind his products, you know. But is it working? Also, bro, do a fucking youtube movie. What? No, no, no, yes, bro, yes, no, no, no, yes. Now that we see him for him, yes, he has to, bro, yes. Like, if this was two years ago, I'd be like why is the rock not on heathen, I'm bro, I'm about to comment. Matter of fact, hold on, hold on. Not unless you collab with internet, I'm gonna find the rock. I'm just hoping, bro, that like damn what, you already got one, oh, he already got one.
Speaker 1:What kind of stuff is on? There is disappointing. Damn, it's too corporate. Nah, it's not too corporate. What, what is it, bro? It just it's like one of the things I saw and it's like it just feels like an ego post. Ah, it's just the combination of everything.
Speaker 1:Also, please fucking be humble, people. Oh, people, people, humility is not a bad thing. Back to people, bro. Yeah, I'm just not messing with people right now. I mean, I am messing with people. You know what I'm saying. Oh, you mess with people, but I ain't. But I ain't messing with people. I know what that means. Chill out, bro.
Speaker 1:His heart little fluttery right now, whatever, but no, chat mike's alone. I am not. Yes, you are, yeah, but that goes back to the, to the thing we we slightly mentioned earlier is I'm working on keeping it offline. Yeah, even though, uh, mason's mom wasn't really online, but it's still like she'd be shown here and there. Yeah, type. So I'm trying out the whole.
Speaker 1:Y'all just not y'all can know that I'm in a relationship, but I'm just not even going like show her or like bring her up for real. For real, you know, yeah, like you can have a. Is mikey single? No, mikey's not, but past that, yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1:You know, nah, like I was thinking about whatever is next for me, whatever relationship that may be, like because YouTube's a big part of my life, right, but I also want to do, like the cinematic relationship, vlogs, like I want to do that shit, but I also don't want it to be like the we still love each other, but we're breaking up. You know what I'm saying. I don't want it to be like the we still love each other, but we're breaking up. You know what I'm saying. I don't want to deal with that shit, bro, just in case. Yeah, bro, that shit'll be ass. Like. You know what I'm saying. I understand it, which is partly why I'm doing it how I'm doing it now, because, like the whole, I was supposed to get married, yeah, and then now I'm not to that person. So it's a bunch of oh.
Speaker 1:I thought mikey, like when I do something, I thought mikey was mad. I thought this, I thought that nah, bro, I just no, it just yeah, it didn't work. You don't feel like it's like. Yeah, I don't feel like dealing with all of that. Yeah, it's, it's over, it's done. And I don't think I did, I don't think I did explain.
Speaker 1:I might have said something one time on the stream or whatever, but yeah, so like this time is like by the, if this relationship were to end, y'all probably wouldn't know for a year, year and a half down the road. So it's like I'm just trying to keep it back door, keep keep certain parts of life, life, so that when I get off of cam I can at least partially clock out, because we never clock out, like mentally y'all. Yeah, I had to tell that nigga to clock out yesterday, bro, but I was in the Uber, though that's like my. I take the Uber so that I can. So I can just, oh, I don't have when I'm in the Uber or when you're driving or going on a trip, I don't have a responsibility, there's nothing to upload, there's nothing.
Speaker 1:So this is my time to brainstorm and like just kind of think about stuff. You know what I'm saying. It's like even driving, even driving, even though while driving I can't write that stuff down. But like those are just moments I like to use as like, okay, I don't have responsibility to nothing else, I don't have to pay attention to nobody, I don't have to outside of. If I'm driving, I got to pay attention to the road, but I don't have to worry about nothing. I can just brainstorm and just kind of run through thoughts. I can listen to podcasts and just let my brain go, and then, if I'm not driving, I can write this stuff down.
Speaker 1:Okay, what about this? So that's what I was doing. But as soon as I get out of the car, it's lock the phone, take the airpods out and you clocked out. It's just like get your off of work now. And that's really, really hard. That's really hard. Yeah, when aaron is texting me at the one in the morning, like what about this? I'm like oh, like I don't know, bro, like I just I feel like I don't know, I think.
Speaker 1:I think that's kind of like the scary part with this, like having to find a partner that gets it and locks in with it, and like someone who could be empathetic and someone you can be empathetic to because, like, say, you date someone and they're already a big content creator Like you all, like the thing I always think about like, if my girlfriend is a streamer, majority of her fan base is going to be male, with me being me and her dating. Does that negatively impact her? Yeah, and it's a lot of VTubers that deal with that too. Yeah, VTubers got it. Bad VTubers got it, got it. They owners, they slave masters. Be like ah, yeah, you can't show nothing on, you're single to the internet. Yeah, you're. Yeah, they, they find out you're in a relationship. It's over, dude, they be acting like their career is over when in reality, we've seen so much evidence that it's not. Bro, like, I feel like. I feel like I feel like I have seen relation shout out to my nigga mario mario, my nigga mario mario. You don't know, mario, I'm kind of funny. Oh, the tiktok mario, tiktok mario. Okay, mario is the perfect example of of creator content with their partner and I feel like something similar to that would be awesome. What? Why? So for the people that so mario uh is dating another uh content creator by the name of um brin is like a fashion influencer. She does get readies with me all this whole thing. Brin was big on her own right.
Speaker 1:Then you have Mario who's, who had a pretty big following. He did uh comedy, different stuff like that. He was a real funny guy and I remember seeing Mario make a post a while back and the post was um, he was responding to someone stitching, talking about um, if you love them, you don't leave them. Talking about a divorce. And Mario uh was.
Speaker 1:He was a little bit of emotional and he was talking about how, like the person that he thought he would spend the rest of his life with, she just wasn't happy with him. She didn't explain, she just up and left and he was like you don't know how that feels to be so destroyed that there's nothing you can do to fix this and it's nothing that you did. And he was expressing like, he was very like expressing his feelings and I was like, fuck, dude. He was like and to have someone walk out of your life like that, you never want to find love again. And I was like, fuck, yeah, I know that feeling like that shit sucks, right and, granted, I've never experienced that. But I was like, fuck, like I understand that, yeah, I don't want to fall in love, bro, you fast forward.
Speaker 1:He's with brin and he's like uh, he always does a brin introduction and so he's like my bubblegum drop baddie, bubblicious booty, that it's like a whole girlfriend brand and like he lights up. But when they do content, it's she's there. When he does like his man boxing, when he's unboxing packages, when he's telling stories, when she does her content. But their content doesn't take away from each other. It boosts each other Right, like it boosts her up because they see, oh, this guy really loves you, and it boosts mario because like, oh, she really loves you and we're happy for this guy.
Speaker 1:And I think it also helped because, um, the way they found and got with each other was more like what I saw was I might have seen like right after it initially started, but I saw it was like, oh, this is so and so and it would be awesome to to have that chance to die. And next thing, you know they actually started talking and mingling and meeting and next you know they're actually dating. Yeah, so it's not. It's now like the both audiences are like hell, yeah, yeah, like for mario. They're like hell yeah, go get her dude, yeah, yeah. And for and for her they like hey, mario, he trying to, yeah, so it's like, and it's like.
Speaker 1:And then we're like like I love that bro, like I really like I ain't gonna hold you bro, I ain't. I ain't soft or nothing. You ain't soft or nothing, I ain't soft or nothing. It really is. No, I'm not okay. Why? Where are you going with this? I ain't soft at all. Art is a rock. Spit it out.
Speaker 1:But I love love, like seeing people following. Have you ever been in love here? Answer that I think I have. I think I have. I think I. When was this? A few years back? A few years back? What era was this? Probably beginning of YouTube, beginning of YouTube.
Speaker 1:I say I was in love, bro. Beginning of YouTube. I know that, obviously, I have to know that person. Where you going, bro. I was asking, bro, because you say you love love, have you been in love? And I was just asking what era? Because I'm like, I can see it, I see it in you, bro. You love love. You a softie bro? I'm not a softie bro. I see it. Now it all makes sense, bro. My boys are softie bro. I'm not a softy bro. You see, look, mike, love, I'm happy to see my dog happy bro. I love that for you Because, like, from the perspective, from my perspective, I know you better than a lot of people Like I know you better Like a lot of people have a hard time seeing like you have a caring side Cause you fucking, oh, you fucking hard.
Speaker 1:Like I know you better, like a lot of people have a hard time seeing like you have a caring side Because you fucking, oh, you fucking hard to deal with sometimes. But why you lying like this, bro, I'm not Fool, bro, it's hard, la, la, la, la la. I'm going somewhere. Now Go finish your statement, bro. So it's hard for people to tell, like when you actually care, right.
Speaker 1:So, with me and me looking at you, it's like I've seen you go tooth and nail for people. I've seen you go tooth and nail to fight and make things work for other people's happiness, and I've seen you sacrifice. I've seen you like fuck, okay, I'm gonna be miserable, but I was about to say whoa, when did you see me? Because the way the order in which I've seen you fuck and I was like wait, whoa, I've seen you been like you know, fucking, I'm a, I'm a, I will take the short end of the stick for you to be okay, and so for me to see you not having to take the short end of the stick for me, you not for me to see, like, okay, this is where you want to be. For you me to see like, okay, man, you didn't talked about relationships and talked about, like, future partners and what would you want and like to see you existing, in that, even with all relationships have problem and shit gonna come up, but to see you existing as naturally happy, not forced happy, right, that's a very enjoyable thing, especially for your best friend. When it's like you see someone and you're like I love that you can be willing to be open with your heart and emotions with someone, just because it's so difficult for you as a person to be open with your like. I love that for you. And now, where I was going earlier is I'm waiting for that for you as well.
Speaker 1:Never because I belong to the street. Literally just told I belong to the screen. Let me tell y'all, okay, I belong to the streets, kid. Let me tell y'all, okay, I belong to the streets. Y'all know how I said probably episode one or two, episode one, two or three. I said that Aaron's life has to be cinematic. Okay, that's every aspect. That's the action moments, that's the comedy moments, that's the travel moments, the sad moments. That that's the comedy moments, the travel moments, the sad moments. That's the love moments. He has a vision for it all. It's literally all manifested from what cars he want to drive, to the houses you want to live in or build, to the career that he's trying to make, to the woman he wants to fall in love with. It's all in his head, built already, bro.
Speaker 1:So what I'm saying is I belong to the streets. Whenever that starts to play out, just know I'm gonna be on the sidelines like hell, yeah, my boy dropping 50 on these fuck niggas bro, my boy balling on these niggas bro, world champion, world champion of the world, craig, type beat. So I'm just saying I understand the feeling of seeing your friends happy. Now back to what the hell you talking about, bro. Uh, I'm hard to deal with you, hard to deal with bro. Bro, don't be listening to this man you are to deal with.
Speaker 1:We are each, uh, equally, not as easy or difficult to deal with to each other number, and I say that saying bro you hard to hear me. No, I'll say that saying one, we know each other so well by now. Yeah, especially after building a career to. It was different before the youtube. Things don't work and it was more of just like the beginnings of it. I guess you could say uh, but now that we've once youtube started, is it had to become like locked, like we spend so much time together that it's like we understand. So, with all of that, it's like, isn't that my hard head to deal with? Aaron's not hard to deal with and I don't believe I'm hard to deal with for him either.
Speaker 1:My hard head man, like we literally wake up. All right, my hard head man, we literally. I talked to my. I said well, good son, good. Saying he said get away from me, black man, we literally get up. And it's gonna go three ways when we, when we, wake up. The first way is we're both gonna come straight from our room to in here and get it cracking. Yeah, all right. The second way I'm up before him, high energy, or it don't matter if I'm up before him, but I'm up, he up, I'm high energy. He's like I'm just waking up, ah, chill. I'm like no, get up, it's time to go. Or it's vice versa we, we both up. He's high energy, and I'm like, ah, chill, I ain't ready, I'm never doing like that. And we work, we talk about our ideas and where we want to go and I'm trying to figure it out, wanting the same goals. Uh, uh, bad bitches. Money, cars, we close, cocaine and all of that. We talk.
Speaker 1:Y'all said I'm lying. I'm lying. No drugs, no drugs, bro, we are. We have a very simple outside of the. The work, the, the career is not simple, or it don't seem so, jesus christ, it don't seem so. But uh, life wise, we have simple lives. We, we understand how each other operate, yeah, and we just move accordingly. It ain't that he be lying to y'all, bro. We do the same stuff over and over, bro. I need my heart to deal with bro. Bro, he's a capper, he's a capper. And I keep telling y'all, y'all, stop believing this man. When he started, he started. When it starts sounding ridiculous and I start arguing back, like what the hell are you talking about? Y'all gotta stop believing this man, please, please, for the love of god. He's not, he's not hard to deal with, he's just hard to read sometimes, like that I can see mike, mike does and and the thing. And when I and when I say hard to deal with, I am joking, I just feel like when I say hard to deal with. I mean, for other people who don't know mike as well as me, he's a hard read.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I think I don't realize my resting face. You don't realize your resting face tonality or, yeah, sometimes body by body language. I'm just, you just be used to being alone in a lot of spaces, like outside of neighborhood friends growing up, where we was outside all the time. Outside of that, I'm alone in almost all spaces, from school to work before YouTube to going to family events, to like I'm just in my head, thinking like if I'm just sitting there thinking I'm okay, I'm just, I'm just looking at them, looking at what's going on, enjoying whatever. I'm not mad, sad, too happy. I'm just like, oh, this is cool, okay, boom. But on the outside it may look like some sort of mean, angry face or something I don't know, like a resting bitch face of some sort or like hard to deal with.
Speaker 1:I'm naturally. I'm naturally more quiet in real life. So it takes also I'm I'm gonna need you to stop telling people I'm not quiet, twin. You ain't, I am, I am Bro. It's like when Aaron, if you start, if you spark up a conversation with Aaron, he's going to immediately project and get into it and once his brain clicks, like like this is where we're going with this, conversation is going to flow. Also, he's quick on his feet, so it's easy with me. I'm quiet. If I haven't said anything for today, the first words out my mouth are gonna feel like a mumble and I'll be like in my head I have to go. Oh crap, I gotta like mentally open my vocal cord before I actually do it. Sorry, sorry, uh, what happened? No, bro, all right, all right.
Speaker 1:So I've been trying breaking news live on the scene with internet, erin, so so I've been trying to buy swords. Okay, so, um, I'm buying like a christmas gift for someone to like, just just a cool christmas gift, like they were like, oh, I always wish I had. Like they said, my dream setup in the background is to have three specific swords.

It's gonna take her two to three weeks to make the swords. I need the swords before the 13th. Radio silent she has been radio silent and I'm like, bro, then why'd you say no? Because I thought it was her. And then somebody's trying to sell me some bullshit joy signs. Oh, I thought I thought maybe you got a message that is like, oh, she can't do it. Nah, bro, the only response is gonna the reason why I'm like I gotta get in contact with her, because the price I'm getting all three of these swords for would have been what I would have paid for one, for one dude he was gonna send it from like russia and like the shipping was five hundred dollars. Oh, that's that. Oh, and I was like I'm not doing this. Hey, man f international shipping. I don't know, bro. I think we talked about it On the last podcast, bro, that's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1:So, like when you going bald, though, like when you? When are you going bald? I think I got, I don't think I got, a year. I think it's over. Like I think, I think I think I'm in my last stroke. Man, bro, all I take is one fresh cut and gillis to bring you back to be like I'm good.
Speaker 1:I'm really thinking about transplanting like a quarter from the back of my head. How are they going to build your? You would have to do the size too. No, I'm going to have to build the size, build the beat, bro, because the thing about it is you got to know what you want before you go to them, cause if you don't, if you leave it up to them, they gonna mess your crap up. I just want them to fix this.
Speaker 1:The thing is, your head is oddly Like it's. It's not like Like. My forehead is like straight down, like most foreheads, you see, are like Mine got a slant. Yeah, yours is going back Like somebody hit you in your shit. It's been like that my whole life, so I don't think it would look right. It's gonna look great. You gonna make it look great. I made him put that bit on my forehead.
Speaker 1:And what would you do If I came with a hair piece? Bro, let's get hair pieces For a video, bro. Let's do it. Let's do it, bro, let's do it. I swear to God, let's do it.
Speaker 1:I want to see what I look like. Oh God, I'm cursed. I can no longer grow my hair out. It's over. Yeah, I'm done, because the top part won't grow. So it's like like I can never see what I look like with dreads or twists and I really want to like, I really want to see what I would look like with like the, the, the, the, not dreads, but like the twist. You know, yeah, you know all that, all that, that cute shit. You feel me, hey, bro, that's gonna be the pie, bro, what we talking about, bro, you feel me also. Before we end, I want to say oh, bro, buying Christmas gifts for this nigga Sucks.
Speaker 1:Let me get this out first, bro. I got a question. Bro, so like in person, cause in the mirror it's shaky, but it's like. So, like in person. Is my hair that bad? What do you mean Like? Is it like damn that shit messed up? Is my hair that bad? What do you mean Like? Is it like damn that shit messed up? Like, not when it's growing out and you can see the difference between the thin, but like, like, like, if I cut it myself.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do it? Come on, come on, come on, no, come on. You was about to. Let's do it, let's do it, I'm gonna let. No, I gotta like, let's take yesterday, for example. Let's take yesterday, for example. It was it like, when you look at me, was it like damn that shit gone, bro. Or was it like let's find out. No, I need to know because, bro, I don't know any point. Yesterday, when you was like damn, I don't remember looking, that's what I'm saying. Let's check it out, let's go for it. We gotta do it now, the the point being the hat off.
Speaker 1:Before I take the hat off, the point being is that I did realize, uh-huh, that although the situation is dire, it is a dire situation okay. Okay, let's say I cut my hair right now, where all I do I'm not having no enhancements. I ain't got the skill like that. I just make it all even and I edge it up to the best of my abilities, right, that way, the top, the horseshoe looking part, it blends with the rest. So that's not really a problem.
Speaker 1:The only problem problem be the front edge, where it's thin. It's still hair there, it's just thin. I realized that in person when I'm looking at it. It's like, ah, it's thin, okay, boom, it might look like a cowlick or whatever it is what it is. But on camera nigga, oh yeah, camera, on camera it looked like nothing's there. All right, let's check it like bro, like it's probably bad now because my hair ain't cut, but we're gonna see.
Speaker 1:Bro, you could, you could turn straight to me. It's like I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to look like this bro. All right, look at me, okay. So yeah, you could go down a bit like it, I can see it. It's not the only reason I can see it, because I'm looking for it and even right there that looks like a cow leg. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So, like what you could do. Let me see what you could do. You could go back a bit on your line. Actually, that's what I do, that's what I do. It grow out and then I line. When I line it up, it look, you know, yeah, you could just go back it don't look that.
Speaker 1:I think the cameras is, that's what I'm saying the camera, bro. I ain't gonna lie bro, I ain't gonna lie bro, you could, you could do a transplant. Yeah, you do it. You do a transplant. You solid bro. I know that.
Speaker 1:But I think the the point of it was like I started seeing on camera bro, man, it bro. No, I feel, yeah, because you can't see the, because obviously we are, we never to. Even when I'm holding the camera like a vlog camera, the angles in which you see it is like it just looked like nothing's there. It looked like completely bald already, when that's not the case. So I'm like, yeah, on camera, fuck, no, you, you probably go buzz the buzz cut. That might look good on you. Yeah, buzz cut clean. Yeah, that actually might look good on you because you got the head shape for it. Yeah, anyway, bro, bald, eventually, bald age is coming.
Speaker 1:But back to what you were saying about Kribble. Yeah, hey, bro. So I was like I'm going crazy on everybody for Christmas, right, why isn't that edible? I don't see what was on the fork Mediterranean bro. So I'm like, okay, I want to get gifts for people. What, what? This guy never mind bro, hey, that's the pie, bro, I'm gonna see y'all. Man, look, hey, uh, this has been the nsc podcast, this has been the nsc podcast. My name is, my name is mike, mikey, we'll see y'all bro. Oh, man, come on, bro, like't do it like that.
