Summary

Otaku's Anonymous celebrates their three-year anniversary with a drunk episode featuring anime reviews (Frieren, Fire Force, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hell's Paradise, My Hero Academia Vigilantes), discussion of cultural representation in anime, and a chaotic game where Nick's mother unexpectedly answers anime smash-or-pass questions.

Insights
  • Anime creators are increasingly exploring themes of immigration and isolationism as commentary on contemporary Japanese society, with both Jujutsu Kaisen and Fire Force incorporating immigrant characters as solutions to systemic problems
  • Frieren's episodic structure and slow pacing are intentional artistic choices that resonate with viewers seeking contemplative storytelling, not flaws—dismissing it as repetitive misses the point of slice-of-life anime
  • Black representation in mainstream anime (like Ogun in Fire Force) becomes more meaningful when creators actively explore cultural heritage and ancestry rather than treating race as incidental character design
  • Anime adaptation quality varies dramatically based on directorial choices and animation budget; JJK Season 3 demonstrates how experimental camera work and added sequences can elevate source material beyond the manga
Trends
Live-action anime adaptations gaining traction with Blue Lock movie trailer receiving positive reception despite concerns about tone and casting authenticityAnime fandom increasingly critical of pacing in popular shows, with some viewers expecting shonen action beats in slice-of-life narratives, creating genre expectation mismatchesRepresentation discourse in anime shifting from tokenism to meaningful cultural integration—audiences now expect immigrant/minority characters to have narrative purpose beyond diversity checkboxesAnimation studios experimenting with directorial ambition in adaptations, adding sequences and changing camera angles to create visual distinctiveness from source materialAnime sponsorship and event marketing expanding with Pokemon Day Out and Pokemon Night Out targeting different demographics (family vs. adult audiences)VPN services marketing anime access as primary use case, positioning geolocation restrictions as content discovery limitation rather than piracy preventionAnime convention culture normalizing adult-oriented programming alongside family content, with clear demographic segmentation in scheduling

Quotes
"Different lessons are taught every episode. This episode's about how even doing the wrong thing can be okay if your heart was genuinely in the right place and how failure doesn't always mean non-enjoyment."
Nick Connor~2:15:00
"Frieren has great animation for sure, but like you haven't watched an episode of season three of JJK. It doesn't need to be a contest, but like you're wrong."

Full Transcript
Excuse me. Ah! You know, I learned some trivia recently. I learned some trivia recently. And a cork of champagne bottle only comes out at 27. I knew it hit me. I knew it hit me. At 27 miles an hour at its absolute fastest. I'm so afraid of it ripping off someone's thumb. I've heard that happen. What do you mean? Yeah, your thumb gets snagged and it tears your thumb off. You know what I wanna do? I wanna saber one at some point. Yeah, that's cool. You hit it with like a little piece of metal after shaking it up a little bit. And then you just get glass all in your expansive champagne. And it's like, what more could you ask for than just a little crunch with your drink? Not a damn thing except for a glass of champagne. A little glass of champagne. And if you're wondering why we're toasting up some champagne right now, it's because me and Danny are celebrating three years of Otaku's Anonymous. Yes, you heard that right, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, our three-year anniversary was January 26th. But because I was in maybe China, we couldn't do it. We didn't wanna do it over Zoom. I'm bad at pouring for myself. We didn't wanna do it over Zoom. So we decided to wait until we were back. That's not why that happened. We didn't know it was the anniversary. And because we didn't know it was the three-year anniversary, I'm sorry, it was a little bit of a visitor's history. I didn't know it was a three-year anniversary until Batman told us about it a week too late. Yeah. But it's a three-year anniversary, which means you're all being delighted to do a drunk podcast. Oh yeah, that's... That's champagne. You can tell it's champagne because it's bad. Ah, it hurts. Because it's... I hate when they bubble. Because it's bad. It's sour. And it makes you burp. Pretty much the worst thing we've been consuming for an audio forum here. This is the most painfully carbonated drink I've ever had. Oh, it's not. That's why the cork goes pop. Yeah, it's aggressive carbonation. I don't know why. I think the carbonated to cover for all the bad flavors. I think I'm just not used to carbonation lately. When I drink, I just take shots of vodka to expedite the process. You want some shots of vodka? We know, we got all these things. We got all these seltzers, we got all these hours. We got a lot going on here. We have no real plan to like... I don't know. You seem as though you're in touch with all of the games we're playing today. I got a game. You have a game. Yeah, I got a three-year anniversary game. We have a three-year anniversary game that I know nothing about. Yeah. Nick knows nothing about it. I got a bunch of news. I think maybe. I don't know. Okay, I have some news. Yeah? I have some news. There's some news. Should we do news at the top? Should we do news at the top? I feel like we keep forgetting to do news. I feel like that's fair because by the time we get along to news, it's so far into the podcast. And we'll be drunk. And then we'll be so drunk. And then the news will be dis... It'll be misinformation at that point. Should we news it? I don't have news. I have a best boy. Should we news booze and cruise it? Oh, so we do it while driving? Hell yeah, dog. Give me my keys. Uh-huh. All right. All right, this is our segment, Booze News. Booze News. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Still sick to drink. News, part one. I have three pieces of news. Part one, their trailer dropped for Blue Lock. I'm gonna redo that. I'm not drunk yet. I don't know what's happening. Good, good, good. News, part one, the live action trailer for the Blue Lock movie just dropped. I'm sorry, who I'm now? Uh-huh. It looks 90% sick. Okay, well, defined to me, 90% sick. Also, have you ever seen Shaolin soccer? Because I'm imagining that's roughly what it'll be like. No, but I've seen surf ninjas. I see, I'm mid-Google and that's more interesting. I have to look up what surf ninjas is. I assume it's the same fucking thing. I, surf ninjas is, I mean, this is either racist or funny as hell. Which are not good. 23 Unrotten Tomatoes here. I, this looks straight out of 1993 and that's because it is. This is gonna be our next page on Watch right here. That's what I've come to the conclusion of here. The Blue Lock live action trailer. Is that, is that the guy from all the Adam Sandler movies? Is it? I don't think so. What's his fucking name? Is it Rob Schneider? Rob, is that Rob? Is that Rob Schneider? I haven't seen this movie since I was like seven. I accidentally went, there's just the kid, all of them have swords on a surfboard. Which is a terrible idea. They're surf ninjas. It's combat surfing. Okay, listen, I'm sure a lot of surfers would like a sword whenever they get cut off here. Dude, you give the concept of combat surfing. It is Rob Schneider. Let's go, let's go. Wow. Leslie Nielsen is in it. Let's go. Yeah, it's an old star cast. Of naked, kinda Leslie Nielsen. It's an old star Oscar worthy cast. Famous comedic actor Leslie Nielsen. That's insane. Dude, you give the concept of combat surfing to an actual anime and it'll be the sickest shit you've ever seen in your life. Oh, 100%. I mean, you're just kind of describing Skate the Infinity, but on water. Pretty much. Yeah. But yeah, the trailer for the live action Blue Lot came out and it looks really sick. The only issue is at one point, Isagi does a big soccer kick and he's making the worst face he's ever seen in your life. I mean, but that's kind of what Isagi does, right? No, it's usually like a big anime scream kind of thing. This is an interesting face. He looks like he's trying not to shit his pants. What do you think they're gonna do with the whole Rin tongue out sequence? I mean, that's gonna be tough to watch. I don't know. This looks pretty well done. It shows the clip of a botchera just like beating the shit out of everyone from episode one. That's great. You know what's cool about a live action is that there's no way to make it a slide show. Yeah, exactly. Everyone has to be moving. This might actually be the preferred way to watch the show moving forward. If they just keep making more and more of these movies, none of these actors are high schoolers. That's for sure. I'll tell you that right now. For sure. I think the person playing Chigiri might actually be 35. It is out of all the anime that could get a live action adaptation. This is not a bad idea. Why is this shot exactly like Squid Games? It looks a lot like Squid Games. Right? It's like the exact same veneer coloring angles as Squid Games, which isn't a bad thing. Obviously Squid Games did very well. It's a bunch of people in uniforms trapped in some kind. Like it's basically Squid Games, plot wise too. We could have put socks on all of them now that they're just a great. Disagree. We definitely didn't have them all. They didn't all have to be barefoot still. That's for sure. Pigs out, Sigs out. This is not, that just doesn't look bad. Do you see him kick it though? I saw, I saw him kick. Do you see the face? I was too busy looking at the pigs. Look at the face he makes. I have to look at the, I see that's the issue. Don't look at the pigs. Do you have pigs oriented? What do you want from me here? Oh, he's just, he's just hitting one of these. He's hitting one of. It's a really bad face. It's like, what's the cockroach man from Men in Black? I know what you're talking about. If I had his name on lock, that'd be more embarrassing than me not knowing. 100% it would be. I honestly, cockroach man. The fact that I could remember that he was like, listen, get a seltzer. This is bad. Get a seltzer. I don't like seltzer either, but. Okay. Well, I, those ones are, those ones are flavored. I don't know why people drink this to celebrate. I, this, this feels like it would be more appropriate at like funerals. The rest of your life seems better after drinking. Yeah, you're like, well, that's, well, that's, it's a way to get down from the high of like, we just won an F1 race. Maybe that's why everyone sprays it cause they don't want to drink it. Yeah. Well, that's probably it. I wonder if it's like after you drink it, everyone's like, all right, milkshakes after. Oh yeah. Why are we doing like fucking the milkshakes? Dairy pot. Dude, dude, if I won an F1 race and somebody handed me an upside, upside down milkshake, like a blizzard. A blizzard? Yeah, dog. I'm facing this. I deserve 3000 calories of ice cream right now. They should, they should do that. But like, you know, when they pour Gatorade on a coaches after a football game, should be boiling off. Should be. The children yearn for tar and feather. Really? Dude, boiling hot liquid. And then we just blast him with pitch and feathers. He's going to love it, dude. It's going to say it's just boiling hot and then someone takes a cricket bat to the back of his, his solar plexus. Every time you win, every coach is just running for their life. It's great, dude. It keeps the coaches real young. Yeah, exactly. They have to be. They have to be fucking the second you can't outrun the fucking professional athletes with their boiling tar. You die. News number two, the new ghost on the show looks sick. I guess we kind of talked about that last week. I mean, we've talked about that for a while. I mean, I literally got invited to anime expo to look at ghosts in the show. News number three, final news. Pokemon day out and Pokemon night out have been announced. Pokemon night out is what the average Pokemon fan wants to have with a Vaporeon. First off, what do you mean? What are these the games? No, these are events that Pokemon is going to be hosting. Pokemon day out. There, I guess they're like pop ups. Pokemon night out is a fucking furry orgy. I don't care. I don't care what anybody that's dragon con on steroids. Yeah, we are on the same wavelength. All of my jokes about Pokemon night out. It's just about how Pokemon night out is like. Look it up. What do you think Pokemon day out and Pokemon night out are? You had a guess. OK, I googled it, but I didn't read anything. Oh, yeah. You're telling me there are events. Yeah. Pokemon day out, like some food trucks. Yeah, maybe maybe there's a gym, like a Pokemon go gym. And everyone's going to try and like catch a special mega evolved Charizard or some shit. Right. Pokemon night out. I'm assuming they're going to bring a bunch of those Lucario's whole whole out right in that butt section and just let people go to town. You're not far off like Bonnie blue fucking a thousand guys. You know, you're absolutely not far off. It is a Pokemon day out is like a family friendly. All ages welcome event. Yeah. Food trucks, whatever games I'm sure products you can buy Pokemon night out is that for adults. And they haven't specified what that means. So they're just saying 18 plus. It's an 18 plus Pokemon event. I assume alcohol and I assume male strippers dressed as machan. I get the fucking like they have like like plaster of Paris with arms below their other arms like sucking up. That'd be a nightmare. Yeah. Oh my God. That is going to be the most heavily female attended event maybe in the history of the world. Why would they name it Pokemon night out? What an awful I don't know. That sounds like when you you know when you go to an anime convention and you're like. Yeah. Pokemon spitting on it. Anime style at 2 a.m. What is that? And is that an orgy on the roster here? What's happening? I know for anyone who hasn't been to a convention, that's actually what it's like. It'll be like, oh, meet the Freer and voice actress at 2 p.m. Learn to draw manga at 3 p.m. 8 p.m. A guard of war after dark. That's literally always 8 p.m. It's 8 p.m. in an anime convention and it's like hentai with the guys and you're like, I'm sorry. What is the biggest hall they have? What? Shlong's out. Dong's out. That's the same thing guys. Don't look to your right or left. Eyes on the screen. Holy fucking shit. All right. Those are your two news. Before we go any further today, I want to talk to you about the sponsor of today's episode, ExpressVPN. Watching TV without ExpressVPN is like trying to travel the world without a passport. You're not going to get very far. That's because streaming services like Netflix only show you a tiny fraction of their entire streaming library in every country that you might go to. But if you change your Netflix to, oh, I don't know Japan, you might find there's a whole lot more anime on there than there was before. Because in the fact that ExpressVPN has servers in 105 countries and all 50 states, you can gain access to thousands of new shows so you truly never run out of anything to watch. And with ExpressVPN now clocking in at its lowest ever price with plans starting at just $349 a month, aka $0.12 a day, and it now officially being rated the number one VPN by tech reviewers like CNET and The Verge, there's truly never been a better time to get on ExpressVPN. I know when I was ripping through One Piece, I hit a wall on Netflix where they no longer had the episodes that I was trying to get into. So I use ExpressVPN to pop my location over Japan and boom, everything I could ever want. All I had to do was open ExpressVPN, change my location over to Japan and boom, 1,100 episodes. All coming through the power of ExpressVPN and a little refresh to my Netflix browser. So be smart, stop paying full price for streaming services and only getting a portion of their content. Get your money's worth at expressvpn.com slash utakus. And don't forget to use my link, expressvpn.com, slash utakus to get up to four extra months free of ExpressVPN. My best boy is Baboni. My best boy is Baboni. Benito. Watched the Superboy yesterday, got real sad. Big time Patriots fan here. Big time underperformance from GameWise. Watched the Super Bowl, didn't understand a word, do not listen to Bad Bunny, but man, could that motherfucker perform? The energy, incredible. And then he grabs a football and it's like, fucking hate is always stronger, love is always stronger than hate is always stronger. And they're just unloaded into the crowd. And I was like, this is why. This is why I should have been watching Kid Rock. So I don't have to watch this liberal nonsense. You should have been one of tens of people at the Kid Rock. But do you see that? They need attendance of like 300 people. 300 people who are just like white guys being like, I have never listened to Kid Rock a day in my life. It's like 65 year old like white guys and their third wife being like, yeah, Kid Rock. And then you know, they all think of him as trailer trash. Every single one of them looking at him like, oh, fuck that guy, but like he's with us now. But like, I'm watching Bad Bunny and he's just, dude, I was like, am I Puerto Rican? Like I was doing, I was getting fired up because he only says three English words the entire performance and it's God bless America. And then everything else is Spanish. And I was like, what a fucking hard hitting message that like he could go up there and he could like talk in English and like pander to the crowd. But it's like, oh, it's such like a powerful moment of being like, holy shit, like fucking, you don't understand how many Latin Americans live in this country. And it's like, this is for them. He's the most popular artist on earth. And it's like, we don't have to pander to the fact that you want this to be in English. Like there are so many people out there right now loving the fact that this is in Spanish. It was so powerful, so good. It's Mike fucked up at the end, which I thought was weird. But like, oh man, so good. Yeah, I've only seen, I was gonna go out and watch a Super Bowl at like a bar with some friends, but I got like the worst headache ever and I missed the whole thing. But I saw the bit where he's like, God bless America. And then it rattles off like every country in all of the North and South America. And all of the continuous North, South and Central America. And that's a sick play. That's a super cool move. I gotta see the performance, but I'm sure it was sick. They've always been sick. It was weird though, because like what they did is they made like a, they made like offensive like human bushes around them. And it was like, it was like to build like a maze that you could walk through kind of situation. And I was like, oh, this would be awful for the live audience. Cause he's just, he's just a man in a fucking corn maze. They're all like that. Ever, I remember on the weekend, he was just running around inside where no one could see. There's like looking at the outside of a fucking building. Well, the weekend fucked up in a mirror maze. It's always something that like you don't need to be there alive to see. And if you are, it's a detriment. Yeah. But I guess you're there for football, not a concert. I mean, but like that fucking, I bet you there's people who absolutely bought tickets to see Bad Bunny. That's true. But also they got to see Bad Bunny at Super Bowl. I bet there's a lot of like plus ones who are like, oh my husband or wife is into football and I get to go and watch BORF the half time. The half time show there it is. Fucking Green Day played the opening show. Yeah. And they tried to sense him saying, they tried to censor the band being like, don't want to be a mega idiot. And they literally muted his mic. So fucking, here we are. Well, didn't they censor it? Cause he says the F word. Maybe. That's why. Oh, cause maybe. Maybe I'm the American. And then he goes, So he's allowed to say it. And he goes, If you can be called that you can say it. And then he goes, not called, not part of the MAGA agenda. Yes, that's what it is. Classic Green Day lover over here. I'm not a Green Day fan. They have a couple good ones. It is. I like, They headline all of like the, like when we were young kind of things. And I'm just like, I don't, I'd rather see like fucking, I don't know, Joyce Manor. Who? Clearly not a real Midwest emo enjoyer. You don't know Joyce Manor dog. Green Day is good. They got four people, four people listening right now. Just went, Oh, Catalina fight song. They got that. American idiot is good. Minority is good. They got, Wake me up. When September. I played that song. Eighth grade talent show. Didn't sing whole crowd chanted, sing the song, sing the song. Played on the guitar. Didn't sing it. You need it. Didn't sing a singular word. It's better to have someone singing to no instrumental than instrumental to no singing. That's fair. Well, no, wait. No, no. You up there like, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. Just edging people for three minutes. And then you get all started singing. They yelled at me to start singing. Didn't do it. Never been known to cave. What is it about eighth grade talent shows? Because we had someone do 21 guns and holiday at our eighth grade talent show. Cause music was better at a certain point in time. So God, it was so good. Anyway, yeah. Make white guys sad again. That's what I say. Get some great music out of it. We're too happy. We're way too happy. It's going too well. White guys are doing rap now. No, we need to be in a four piece band singing about like how I'm upset that I got left in a Walmart parking lot. No, I agree. Yeah. I hear everyone loves bad bunnies thing. Bro, watch Super Bowl time of all or Super Bowl half time show of all time. There you go. I'll drink to that. Yeah, you will brother. Hell yeah. Dink. Bonk. Linch. So with all of our news and our best boys out of the way here, we do have three games to play today. Do we? We have three games is what's the one I know. That's what's tank text. All right, then let's wrap this up. JJK. Bad. What? Mid. Hell's paradise. The best one. Vigilantes 10 out of 10 as always. Nope. Okay. Mitigate that real quick. This sucks. I'm sorry. Everything we do sucks. The champagne makes me burpy. Swanky here with a three year anniversary game this week. Congrats on three years. It's been three years. So do you remember your own insane quotes? Swanky here with a three year anniversary. Congrats on three years. It's been three years. Yeah, we have to work on, we have to be more concise. Fucking Google was typing out an email today and Google was like, you want to make this sentence more concise? Don't fucking sub tweet me, Google. What are we doing? It's just K-Y-S. Yeah. I was like, yeah. I was like, hey, a really cool theory. Let's see. I'll think on it for a little while and see if there's any meat on the bone. And I just like went to go and was like, make this more concise. And I was like, slit your throat. Fucking stick a knife in your neck. So it's been three years. So do you remember your own insane quotes in this game? Who said that? The boys will be shown a series of wild quotes that they said over the last three years on the pod and must guess if it was Nick or Danny. That said the quote. And then there is, are you Nick Connor or Danny Moda? For this game, I made an actual Buzzfeed quiz on Buzzfeed that determines whether you were Nick Connor or Danny Moda. Oh no. I didn't know you could make your own quizzes on Buzzfeed. I didn't know Buzzfeed still existed. Danny Moda. Huge, huge. I shouldn't have shown that, right? Why do you use so much actual paper in your wallet? Yeah, like I see like the $4 bills. There's also just. There's a receipt? Yep, for what? This is a check Ivan cash. Is that from Colossalcon? Yeah. This is another check Ivan cash. Listen, guys, I'm not kidding. If you ever want Danny to do something for free, offer him six quintillion dollars, but say you will pay by cash, he will never check it. Here's a card for my next dentist visit. Here's a card for my next doctor's visit. Huge, huge, huge, huge. And then in terms of money, I think I have 80 bucks. Huge. Jesus. I'm icing that champagne for later when I won't drink it. Time to have a real American drink. Not that French shit. What color are the mounds? They're so blue. Nice. The mounds are so blue. Anyway, all right, should we do a game? Wait, and everyone in the live slash watching on YouTube later can take this quiz along with the boys to see who they get. Thought it'd be funny community game for the three year anniversary pot episode. And then we have chomp, chuck or fuck Pokemon fusions. We can't do all three because I have one for you as well. I mean, we could just, we could just say, hey, you saw the anime this week. Hey, let's listen. Hey, hey, hey, 15 minutes. 15 minutes all the anime this week. Fire force, maybe paint over the giant 08 on your matchbox. I wish we had gotten more Ogun in this whole series. I mean, we get a lot still, but I fear I felt as though I realized Toma key. Oh. Look, we could do chomp, chuck or fuck anytime. So we'll punt that one. Yeah, let's talk about fire force. I guess is that the worst episode? Freer in vigilantes, JJK. Unfortunately, I did kind of like this episode from vigilantes sentence. What happened? Oh, big saw the episode hell's paradise. Probably hell is the worst episode. I never remember what happens in that show. There's a six tell sequence. This episode, what for something? I sure they talk about fucking towel a lot. Much. This is what I'm saying to every day. Try and fit so much. There's no way we're we can't do our first fill. Our first fill already. Oh goodness. Yeah, you got to drink the whole thing now. Oh, it's every it's everywhere. Danny, my snackals, my snackals are covered in coffee. You got to drink the whole thing. Wake me up. I'd like at this point for it to be known of barely eating today. So if anybody is throwing lightweight accusations at Nick, I ate breakfast and then I had a protein bar. And that is it. Anyway, yeah, there was a cool style sequence. I liked them being stealthy using their towel to be invisible. I also liked this had some funny moments. I liked when one of them was like, teach us your stealth techniques. And then she's like, you mean my charms? And she like bounces or boobs and the iron dragon just goes. Oh, I love that you call them iron dragon because I called him at some point in my notes here. I think I call them dragon blade. His name is blade dragon. Whatever. Stupid bad name. Stupid bad name. That's like the most fucking basic like samurai name of all time kind of situation. I said, I know you can't be just out here ogling women, but like a Konohichi's purpose, like historically, a Konohichi's purpose was to like, like seduce men into their most vulnerable positions. And just fucking out the hairpin and stab into death. Like those are like ninjas, canonically existed. Konohichi canonically existed. Ninjas weren't like the super cool bad ass ninjutsu using ass motherfuckers. They were just guys who are black and then like snuck up on samurai and stabbed them in the neck and that was like what a ninja was. Konohichi though were like a class of women that were basically like usually like in sex work in some regard and then would like lure men into their bed chambers and then just assassinate them when they were naked kind of situation. So like horror, like usurya being like an actual Konohichi being like, you mean my charms and just fucking blade dragon falling for it. I was like, you know what? That works. I had a similar feeling where I'm like, I hate like perfume or an anime for some reason. At least everyone's fucking 26. Well, that's fair. Yeah. At least everyone's of age. I can live with it. His weird insane response not being like, like the fact that it's not words. I just liked him being, oh. Yeah. Literally just like, she literally just puts her, it was that classic. Did you ever, did you ever see somebody play this game in middle school? Yeah, I know. Girls can't touch their elbows together. It's an awful trick to play on people. Boy, oh boy, was it fucking happening when I was 11 years old. Yeah. The joke is it pushes your boobs. Yeah. That was, that was. Yeah. If anyone's out like getting tricked by someone. Oh no. Did I just reintroduce the meta to all the middle school listeners? No, I think you've given people defense against it. They know not to do it now. That's also fair. See, this is why information dissemination is so important. I agree. Because they're fucking, they're all learning here. Oh, them passing around glasses was really funny. They kept, they were given like. And it's the dead guys glasses. It's a guy who died fucking like, who got like brain, literally brain flower tumors. And they're like, we can maybe save them. They cut them all off. And they're like, we can't save them. The one guy who like was able to like figure out everything happening on this island dead. But by the way, we kept his glasses. They put his glasses, the fucking part. They put his glasses on the grave. And then Eustoria grabbed him off of him. It was like, I'm gonna hold onto these. Yeah. I wrote, how did they know their own towel attributes? I was confusing. They just knew. Damn, that's a great question. They were just like, you two are metal. We're wood. That's great. Listen, I, as somebody, What you say to me sticks to you. As somebody who's literally made an entire video, was talking about like, oh, here's how towel works. Everything here is how you can see your towel. Like, you know, hindering versus helping kind of situation. I have no idea. I have no idea. The only way you could possibly figure it out is if you had like 10 plus people and you're like, oh, well you hinder them and you help them. But you have, it would be a ridiculous cause and effect outside of like, maybe it looks different. I mean, what's his face? Gabi Mario uses fire and in Poe. And so I was like, whatever, he's fire. I got that. That makes sense. The Koichi is slimy. Yeah. She has slime ability. But she's earth. Yeah. Like, how do we, how do you know this? But also the dragon, I think dragon blade is also fire towel. And it's like, how the fuck do we know that he's got fire towel? Oh, he does cut his own hand off. Yeah. I don't know. You're asking high level questions that will not be answered of course, these 170 chapters, unfortunately. I wrote this is some Tokyo cool shit. Oh, cause they fucking torture a man who regenerates. It's literally, it's like fucking 1000 minus seven. And he's like, I'm cutting off fingers. I'm cutting off arms. And you see his arm like hanging in the fucking like cuff still hardcore shit. I wrote, oh, cool. So the not so an infinite castle arc has begun. Yeah. Cause that's literally, it's literally exactly what's happening. It's like, oh, hey, we can't get caught. We can't fight any of these guys. We don't want to fight any of these guys. We got to break in. We got to, it's literally, it's every anime of all times. Like here's our best case scenario. Here's our worst case scenario. And then worst case scenario immediately happens. Instantly. And it's just going to be fucking everybody's got to fight against all the Lord Tenzin. And this show will not end until all the Lord Tenzin are defeated. I actually do want to ask you one question before we do move on with House of Paradise. Cause this is a big like, we're setting like now that this is like we were finishing up basically the last bit of the first arc that was like being like established over the first season. And now we're heading into like, what is the longest arc? I forget what it's called in House of Paradise. It's like 70 chapters long. How do you feel about what's happening with Ossetcho Bay right now? And do you feel like it's profound or do you feel like it's like fucked up? Which one's Ossetcho Bay? Ossetcho Bay is the one who's been taken in by the Lord Tenzin. Oh, I mean, it's cool. Yeah. I mean, it's fucked up obviously. Yes. But he's just like trying to get as much info out of them as possible so he can beat them. But it's also weird because it doesn't want to work with the humans. Yes. He wants to single-handedly beat all of the Tenzin. He wants to, it's kind of like an Itachi and Sasuke situation where he wants, like he's okay with all of them dying so long as Toma survives, right? Like that thing, he's like, oh, listen, I'll give you all the information you want, but like on one stipulation, Toma, my brother gets out smooth. So that thing is like make all of them into high level tan or towel or whatever the fuck you want. But Toma gets out kind of situation. And I find it really interesting because a lot of anime, more often than not, we've seen a lot of like mental health representations or like male sexual assault like representatives in anime. And it always blows right over the head of everyone. A lot of people don't realize like Denji is a fantastic example of like a man who was perpetually being sexually assaulted by the women around him kind of situation. And because of like his power or because they want him or because they need to use him kind of situation. But everyone's like, ah, Denji likes boobs. Like goes straight over the head of everyone. Like Chainsaw Man is as profound as you want it to be. But like people really misunderstood Denji as an MC. Asahio Bay to me falls in a very similar situation where it's like, oh, you can be like, oh, well, he adapts to everything. And like, oh, wow, he took, he took control of the situation with Rian and like, like very, oh, he fucked the main antagonist kind of situation. But at the same time, it's like, oh, he had no choice. Yeah, no, he's for sure getting sexually assaulted. It'd be cool if the show explores that. Like after all of this is said and done. He's just like, like crumbles and like has a real trauma about it. But so far it doesn't seem like they're doing that. And here's the thing, this might just be like Rebusiness history or like I'm looking too much into it. But I find the way that Asahio Bay deals with it, being like, I'm going to grip my teeth and deal with it is a very actually like accurate representation of how your average man actually deals with sexual assault. Where it's like, oh, I'm just going to fucking like, I'll take control of the situation. I'm in control, but in an actuality, you're not. And you'll never talk about it kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, it's going to depend on how he behaves after all of this. Because like that's fine, but it will get into territory of like we're giving it too much credit if they're just like, oh, we're never going to really address it or like really, you know, like there's not a lot of evidence to suggest that the Mongaka doesn't think it's just cool that he did that. Exactly, like, oh, we're not dealing with the profound. You're just applying so much of your own fucking like litigation. It's like, it would be cool if it's this, but there's not evidence for that. Exactly, cool. All right, so that's Hell's Paradise. That leads us to, I don't know, probably fucking Fire Force. Yeah, probably. This was a great week for everything. Everything, it's always, the whole season's been a great season for everything. Everything is good. Everything's great right now. Fire Force was sick. We got a lot of Oghan. Yes, we did get a lot of Oghan, who's an awesome character. I really feel like, I feel like I've always, every time Oghan is on, he's like very, like he's in a lot of season two when they go over like the Chinese Peninsula and they fight against like the demon infernal over there and they go to like the Minia Matarasu. He's very pertinent in that one. Every time I see him, I'm like, I wish we got more of him. And then I remember like, oh, he's kind of the third most important character in the show, maybe? Like, I'm like, oh, fuck, I want more of him. He has like 11,000 powers also. Like they really stretch. He's got skateboard, he's got tattoo, he's got basketball, which I would be like, ah, that's a little offensive if it weren't for also the tattoo and the skateboard. I like that the fact that he's black is so ingrained in his character, which isn't the case for a lot of black anime characters. 100%. Like, I thought it was so sick that we got to hear his like ancestors backstory. The Jamaican party crews, the Japan dude, hell yeah. That's sick, his ancestor was like ferrying immigrants into Tokyo and playing reggae music to keep them all like, high morale and like having fun. And like I said, like, I feel like there isn't a lot of instances in like a mainstream anime where like a black character will also like, they'll also explore like that culture. They'll explore like black culture. It's a lot of times just like, oh, you know, like, what's the girl in bleach, her name? Yorichi. Yeah, like, do they ever, she's just like a character who happens to be like Yeah, I feel like it's a lot of like characters who happen to be darker skinned rather than being like, oh, we're going to introduce like a unique perspective and unique culture to this story. You'll see like in like Naruto, like there's like some touches of it, but like it's like, it's in such like a very much like, oh, like, oh, this is like a Japanese guy's understanding of black culture situation, like killer bees, like a rapper or kind of thing. And it's like, okay, it's like a fucking like, we're really touching on the basis level of it here. But like at the same time, there's also, with Ogun's backstory, I've always found such a level of significance where it's like, also like there's significance in the fact that his ancestors were the people, like with like American history, his ancestors were the people literally driving boats of immigrants to Japan to like a promised, like better life kind of situation, like a salvation. And I found that so interesting and it's really, really cool. And Ogun is like, like I said, one of my favorite characters in Fire Force, I always wish we got more from him. This battle against Chiron, awesome. Yeah, it's sick. It's so much fun. Him just getting fucking, cause Chiron has been such a recurring character all throughout fucking like Fire Force in every single time. It's kind of like how we were talking about earlier with Izawa, where it's like, oh, the ability to turn off somebody else's quirk, so dumbly broken, but also the fact that it's like, oh, Chiron's like, hey, I can absorb energy and kinetic energy. Right. In a universe where the strongest people are blowing fire at you, what an ability to have. Right, yeah. No, I agree. I think the fight was crazy. It was also sick that Ogun is just getting like laid out the whole time. Yeah. I love the bit where he like goes to hit him and he's like foolish of you to think I wouldn't attack first and then just fucking throws him down, stumps on his head. Yeah. That was really cool. Oh, I wrote, our version of Jesus Christ was an immigrant brought here on a Jamaican cruise liner as a piece of Fire Force lawyer, forgot. Right. Because Raffles the first, he's on fucking Ogun's dads or like ancestors boat kind of thing. Yeah. And it's so funny because somebody else also did, what the fuck, what was it? I'm trying to remember, because there was another, there was like a very other profound piece of media recently that it was like, oh, there's a problem that's being presented that we can't physically figure out on our own. And it wasn't until we allowed immigrants into our system that they were able to inject their own knowledge that was able to figure out this problem in the first place. And like, obviously there's like more lore surrounding Raffles the first. Fuck, what was that? I don't know what you're talking about. This was an awful pod to get drunk during. I was literally, this might have like literally come. There was like a really pertinent piece of media. It was, oh, fucking Majulo. That's what it was. Okay. Majulo, the sequel to JJK is literally doing a thing right now where like, okay, that's what it was. Majulo and Fire Force. And it's very funny to see this like anti-Japanese isolationist movement, anti-isolationist movement like amongst like pertinent authors right now, because like a lot of like younger Mongakas are seeing like Japan's like swerve towards isolationism. And so Majulo and specifically Gege Akatama, the guy who makes JJK are like very much incorporating like, oh, hey, these problems that we have as a country can't be fixed. Like we've been trying to fix these problems as a country for a long time. And it's not until we allow people from outside of the confines of our country to actually like until these problems will be solved. And the exact same thing is happening in Majulo right now. And like the idea that Ogun who's fighting against Kairon at the end of the world and Raffles the first was considered like literally the Jesus figure of Fire Force are coming in as immigrants into this country in Japan. I think it's such a really cool and profound like conversational topic that's happening in manga and anime right now. Yeah. That's what I was saying. Agreed. You gotta read Majulo. Agreed. Unfortunately you'd have to finish JJK first. Yeah, so. Which like. Which I probably won't do. Probably not. No, it doesn't need to happen for sure. I like that Ogun was always a real one. I like that he was in high school. Just the popular kid who was like fucking, I like shark teeth head over there. Dude, fucking listen. I can completely understand. If somebody came into my school with just shark teeth, I'd probably call him a demon too. What do you mean? You've shipped your teeth into fucking bladed edges. Why would you need that? Well, it's hereditary. Which is insane. Yeah, what is insane. Which means you were born from, like what do you like that's the net is? No, that leads, that's more evidence that he is a demon from hell. This is my number one talking point in our talk. I'm like, how did Kisame not get bullied more? You have gills. What do you mean? You're a shark man. You're a shark man with a shark's horn. It's weird. Yeah, why are there heteromorphs in Naruto? That's not a Jutsu he did. He was born that way. I literally, I wish I had an answer. I like the way, the way I've been born. That's gotta be a Jutsu. But that's the like, there's theories that it's like, oh, the hidden mist did experiments years ago to try and make like somebody who's more adept in water because they're an island nation kind of situation. And then they introduced another hoshigaki in Boruto also has gills. So is it a clan thing? Yeah. I don't fucking, and then they're like, oh, hey, by the way, we made all the seven swords seven swords of the mist. So were they also doing experiments during the blood mist era where they were trying to make fucking shark people? Why is he down immortal? Brother, I've been saying. Nobody has the fucking balls to sit down. Cause he's like, Kishimoto goes out. He does interviews. Yeah. And then fucking everyone's like, oh, what's Boruto's favorite food? He's like french fries. And I'm like, oh, I'm gonna take your skin. I'm gonna take your skin off your body. I know. We know every character's blood type, but we don't know why there's a shark man. We know blood type, we know birthday, we know favorite food. Why is Kisame a shark man? I bet it's a Jutsu. I bet it's not. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Why have more people done the Jutsu and why does his direct relative also have gills? I have a question. When you summon a toad guy. Yeah, a toad. Yeah. And when you unsummon him, does he die for a bit? Where does he go? Mount Mububu, no. There's a place where the toads exist. Oh, okay, cool. So you bring them from the toad place and they go back to the toad place. The toad place does technically exist on earth, maybe. That's obnoxious for sure for the toads, but it's better than dying. That's why they're always pissed when they fucking get, they're like, why am I here? It's not summoning, it's teleporting. They're like, I was mid meal. I was mid gigantic fly meal. And you brought me here. So yeah, that's fire force. Just horking into a fly the size of a gal. Just fucking knife and fork and through its 19th eyeball. Oh goodness Christ. What's the next best? I don't know, fucking vigilantes. Yeah, probably. I liked this episode. This was a good episode. Yeah. You know, regardless of the fact that this mangaka is single-handedly tarnishing the reputation of an already tarnished- Tarnished reputation. Dude. Here's the horko, she's got to approve every chapter. And then he's like, oh, that's Miss Midnight. That's what the underside of her tits look like. Dude. Hell yeah, brother. Someone's gotta stop this guy. This guy, people are already like- Why would he, horko, she's been fucking drawing Momo with fucking, or just tits out for 17 years. I know, it's just so much more egregious and vigilantes. So we're talking about whatever episode. Whatever the one where fucking Aizawa's younger. Yeah, whereas I was younger, where Midnight's naked, and then also Luffy gear five. We get an aerial zoom directly into his ass crack. What are we doing? I don't, also he's like, hey, listen, you wanna see my new ability? We're talking about fucking Koragiri, whose previous name is something, I don't know. Luffy, he's just Sun Wukong. Oh yeah, he's Sun Wukong, he's, what, no. Oh, he is, cause he's flying around a fucking Nimbus. He's got a Nimbus and a Powerpull. And a Powerpull that doesn't extend to like fucking have fun using it. And everyone's like, oh, this kid, oh, this kid's developing slower than everyone else. What do you mean he can fly? Yeah, I fly, flight is a rare ability amongst heroes in the fucking MHA universe. It's like Deku, Nana Shimora. No, there's a lot of flyers. Bird, bird guy, shadow bird guy. There's a tornado girl. Oh, I was talking about the murderer, not shadow. Oh, Hawks. I was talking to Tokuyami. I was talking about, Hawks the Coward. I was talking about that fucking bloody-handed idiot. I love, oh, Hawks the Coward murderer. Yeah, the fucking goddamn fucking sociopath murderer, Hawks. Um, there's Tokuyami, Bakugo flies. And he loved it. He loved it. He'd do it again. He'd do it again. If twice, really twice himself. Oh my God, the bird boner, he'd have to kill him again. Yeah, so good. I'd kill him twice. Oh my God, yeah, dude. Bakugo flies. They all fly. They all fly. You're right. It's not. They fly now. They've been flying. They fly, they've been flying forever. You know, it's the same context as Star Wars. They've always fucking flown. Don't yell at me. I'm sorry. The, yeah, he flies now. And Bakugo was good in this episode. I don't remember. Which one? Yamada? No, Izawa. Izawa. No, so there was good moments. Yeah, this is the backstory of Izawa. Yeah, nice, refresh. Yeah, you're halfway through that. You're halfway through that high noon over there. Love Izawa teaching the pro tag, because I don't know his name. Koichi. A lesson in doing the right thing without thinking of consequences. That was sick. Koichi saves a cat and he's like, what are you gonna do with the cat? Cats live like 20 years. This and that. And the dude's like, I just wanna do a good thing. And he's like, yeah, well, life continues after you do the good thing. Good thing's last 20 years sometimes. Yeah, and that was like crazy dark and like really cool. And they also never really reached a resolution. No, he just has a cat maybe. Yeah, he's just like, oh, hey, and then they immediately cut to an Izawa backstory. It was like, has Koichi thrown this cat into a river? Yeah, and he's like, you won't look at the cat. And he's like, I can't take care of it either. I'm not gonna get attached to it. And then immediately we're like, oh, hey, by the way, Izawa's the most responsible cat parent ever established. Which like also everyone knew Izawa was gonna be a cat guy from the second. He's willing to class in a fucking, you know, and I got him sleeping back. Yeah, he's a cat guy. Yeah, I wrote in order, if this dude had an umbrella, why is he soaking wet? Why is he naked? Why are we zooming into his asshole? Why is he pulling out his cock? So one point goes, check out this tiny little guy I got. Pulled the pussy out of his penis. Pulled the pussy out of his penis. I was hoping you would get to that one. What are we doing? I, brother. Fire this guy. I don't know. Have you ever, listen, so what you may not know, the guy who makes Vigilantes, the mangaka who made Vigilantes, not Horakoshi. Horakoshi was like, obviously approving of everything here. But Vigilantes is made by, and let me look up his name real quick here. It is the guy who made another well-known manga series. It is by Hida Yuki Furuhashi, who also is known for his very popular manga series, Kei On. Oh, what is that? I know that. It's, and for those of you who are like, oh, Kei On, that sounds, oh wait, no, Kei On is the, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Kei Anime. It's an animated series, and it is about as 2012 as you could possibly get. Kei is what Hida Yuki Furuhashi made before this, and it is about a goddess who comes down to the earth fully naked as a cat, and then she basically exists as a cat, but listen, look at this artwork right here and tell me this isn't roughly the most 2013 thing you've ever seen in your entire life. I'm looking at it, yeah, it is so, this is like Boom Go straight, dogs as hell. Yes, so it got one season, it's 12 episodes long, I think you can watch it on Netflix, and it's okay, I've tried to watch it a couple of several, like I've tried to watch it a couple of times, it's like a big, like it looked great for 2012 kind of situation, but like even as a, I was 16 in 2012, I was like, oh, this is goon or shit. You were 16, how old are you now? 29. I can't be right. In 2012. In 20, I graduated 2015. You were 15. You're two years older than me, I was 13 in 2012. I'm always one year older than me. I was born in 1996, 2012 I would be 16, four plus two. No, this is making any fucking sense. I don't know, I don't know what you want. Because in 2012 I was 13, you're not three years older than me. I'm, what's your birthday? 99. I know, but your birthday is hold up, tell me, show your mouth, show your whole mouth. You're gonna dox me right now? Oh, we've announced every time it's ever been your birthday. We got, your birthday is January 16th. Nope. 14. Close, what's mine? I don't even know the month. Oh, so better, oh, so better friend. September. Nope. Oh, no. Yeah, well, literally, literally there, John. August. Yep. I even think that was true. Oh, like I didn't just two days off your birthday. If I attempted to, 23. Let's go. Okay. The guy who puts his fucking birthday date in his goddamn, it is goddamn fucking name. Pretty easy to figure out here. I didn't know that's what that was. 23 is everywhere, everywhere. How dare you? I just knew. My heart hurts. That makes me two and a half years old. All right, whatever. You think I give a shit? Right. You think I fucking care about you? All right, fucking that's vigilantes. Oh, and then also the thing we were talking about earlier, Miss Midnight. But with just less clothes this time. Yeah, well, this at least confirms she can turn her power off because otherwise, everyone who knows, maybe the trench coat was keeping the arms in the trench coat was keeping the arms in. Yeah, why she full ass naked? Why does she dressed as a fucking streaker running through the streets of New York? You don't have to be in a full skin tight or ripable outfit or naked. Nope. Just wear a crop top in shorts. I get that she's a pervert and she's allowed to be a pervert. Yeah, that's true. She is like a sex offender. She's allowed to be a pervert. Don't either make her a pervert around children or don't make her a pervert as a child. Yeah, for sure. That feels like low criteria. I think she's 18 in this because she's an upperclassman. I think she's about to graduate. I think this is Izawa and Yamada's second year in high school, which if she's an upperclassman would make her a third year in high school, which would make her 18. That doesn't help the fact that Luffy was ass naked also. Also doesn't help the fact that she pulled up on a bunch of second years war 16 and 17. It was like, you fucking like my tactical belt pussy cover. It's just insane. Like, yeah, your Ozu is ridiculous. For sure. In my hero academia. Bad. Bad outfit. Could you could do it any other way? Yep. Never has to rely on a shadow covering her labia majora. That's for sure. My hero is just like never gone this ridiculous. And vigilantes is constantly being this ridiculous. And like I said, it's just like damaging the reputation of an anime that previously you could be like, yeah, I know, I know, I know. There's some like shit about it. Let's go fucking look at all the fucking or the or the or the or the or the or the zoom girl or fucking the girl who's always fucking blowing out of her lab. And we're huge tits on a fucking deck whose face. My hero at least has always been a show that's like 80% okay. And then like 20% it's an eye roll. Yeah. And now in vigilantes, it's like every other episode. I'm like, what are you doing? Stop doing this. Because every episode is like upscored shot on pop the 15 year old. You're like, what are we doing? I know, but anyway, that's vigilantes. And now it's vigilantes. Of fucking, I don't know, sentence. Stop it. I love this show. I, I don't, okay, fine. What do you want from me? I don't know. What are we down to? All right, free. I'll give you free. I'll give you free rent. I don't know. This was kind of the best episode of the season for free. God, I can kiss you right now. It's a free rents best episode. And you're fucking starting to understand it. You're getting it, Danny. You're getting it. No, that's different because shit happened this episode, which is exciting, which is weird. Cause I've been seeing TikToks saying this episode is when people are starting to be like, well, you know, free rents too slow for me. It's like two TikToks this week where people are like, free rents a slow show now. And I'm like, this is the best episode of season two. Oh, Danny. What? I can kiss you. Yeah. So all right. There is a podcast. I do not know the name. I do not remember the name. It's like three guys. And there was one guy who was like, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what free rents all about. They start doing a thing, free rent gets a memory. It's him old time. And then they go on a little quest and then there's a light lesson. And then, and then we're on to the next episode. I was like, but like, he said- That is free rent. He said a lot more words and a lot more like, like derogatory, like basically like being like, oh, fuck free rent. This is like not a good show kind of situation. Do you want just vodka? I can get you just vodka and a Diet Coke or something. A little DC situation. No? Okay. Lovely. I'm definitely already dumb. Huge. So am I. Ah, peep, peep, peep, peep. And so anyways, I commented. I was like, oh, this is the fucking, cause listen, I got Reed's beat. Oh, you commented. I think it was called bad takes podcast or something. Like literally like- Are you doing a joke? No. I wish I was. Are you trying not to say trash taste? No. It's not trash taste. It's literally, it's like bad. It's like hot takes podcast or something. I couldn't tell if you were like being cheeky and didn't want to like call out trash taste. No, no, no, I've never, I haven't seen a trash taste take in fucking, they don't talk about anime. They're like, fucking, is it weird? It's like living in Japan. It's like, oh, it's weird being Australian guys in Japan. You're like, cool. Episode 500 of this. Nice, good. And so anyways, not salty at all clearly. Christ. The demons are coming out. Anyways, they were like, hey, fucking, Freerun's bad and it's repetitive, that kind of thing. And I was like, oh, this is sentimentality that got soul leveling, got like voted anime in here when it's just fucking flashy lights and pretty colors. This episode was awesome. Yeah, this is the best episode of season two, I think. So I'm gonna sit here and act. And listen, the reason that it's seeming repetitive right now, and it's gonna end after this episode, this was a really kind of like mini arc in the manga where it's like the travel to the north. It's like the continuation of the travels to the northern plateau arc. So it's like 30, 40 chap, not 34 chap. It's like 10, 15 chapters that gets us to the northern plateau. And then after this, there's more of like an all encompassing like, name one basketball player right now. Kevin Durant. Why? Am I right? You are. Yeah, okay then. War of the average. I can name more. Name five. Kevin Durant. Yep. His son, his niece. I don't know. Larry Bird, that's my second one. Okay, hell yeah, let's go. Lebron James. Okay, Kevin Durant, Larry Bird for Lebron James is awesome. I like that a lot. Carmelo Anthony. What? What? I'm enjoying this. I just, that's a great list. Magic Mike Johnson. Magic Michael. Magic Michael. Magic Michael as in the strippers, Johnson, yes. Yes, that's why that's where the Johnson comes from. Yes, Magic Johnson. Am I right? You are, those are five. Oh, that's five. Those are five. You went 80s, 80s, and then three current players. I like that, that's good. Good, I like that a lot. KG. KG? Yeah, Kevin. Or Kyle. Kevin. Kevin. It's a character from Gravity Falls. From Gravity Falls? Kevin Mabel. Nope. Wait. Kevin Gronkel? Nope.

Daddy, I cannot do another Yu-Gi-Oh-Monster. The Wing-Dragon of Ra. The Wing-Dragon of Ra? Sounds like the fucking Colt name. Yeah, and Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon. That's when they fuse. How could I forget? How could I forget? I'm thinking of a couple of knights. There's a couple of knights. There's like a pork soldier. I fucking, I don't know. There's a real porky guy who's a fucking knight. I don't, Yu-Gi-Oh was never my bag. What are we talking about? Freerun? We're talking about Freerun. Kevin Durant. Oh. Ha ha ha ha. Michael Irving. Yeah, anyway. Good. I said, no it's not. So everyone's saying every episode is the same. I said, no it's not. Different lessons are taught every episode. This episode's about how even doing the wrong thing can be okay if your heart was genuinely in the right place and how failure doesn't always mean non-enjoyment. Yeah, I like when they fight. No, I'm joking. Did they fight in this episode? They did. They do a fight. They fought a fucking, they had to come together and re-put together a strategy. I actually really liked the idea. And I think this is actually really important. This is bringing back to the conversation probably shouldn't have what we're drunk. Back to immigration and all of that. Because Stark goes to a guy who lives in the Northern Plateau and he's like, why it's really dangerous here? Why would you live here? You can, it's a three day hike to get out of the Northern Plateau and he's like, dude this is my home. Like I live here. I thought that was such a cool moment because everyone's in the face of Emperor Trunt and everyone being like, well just fucking leave America. And it's like, dude I like America. I know, well that's the thing is it's like, well people are like, well no, yeah you're right, nevermind. I have no notes. Other than, I wish Stark had some pushback on it because Stark is traveling. He's an adventurer. And I wish Stark or Fern, someone who isn't freer in, was like, oh well just fucking leave dog. There's so much more world out there and this place sucks. And I wish Freer, Borf, freer in because of her Himmel flashbacks. Was like, no there is value to home. Or people value home differently. Maybe someone who doesn't have family is more like to be a traveler or someone who doesn't find like sentimental value in their home or a community will travel. But people who do take great purpose in like being where they are. 100%. And so yeah, I wish there was more like, that is an interesting theme that could have been explored more. As two guys who left their hometowns. Like we're both from the East Coast, we both live on the West Coast now. I always like, I found myself on as much younger being like, oh man, why don't these people leave our hometown? Like, oh that's cringe kind of situation. Like, oh you're gonna be a homer, you're gonna be a hometowner. And I was like, the more I've grown up and realized and fully formed my brand. And I was like, oh dude, I liked where I grew up. And I was like, what an incredible place to raise kids. And I was like, I had all these, I had to forget like in order to have that sentimentality where I was like, oh man, it's so much fun to be a 23 year old here. I was like, yeah, but how much fun was it to be a fucking nine year old there? And I was like, all these people have these, they wanna have kids, they wanna hang out. Like it's a nice place to be. And so I, like it's such a cool like sentimentality for a stark to be like, dude, you can get out of here. And be like, hey listen, like it might be tough here from what you perceive, but like the toughness is what makes it home kind of situation. I thought that was beautiful. And I thought it was like a really like pertinent message to be sent, especially right now. Cause people are like, oh fucking, like you don't like the administration leave. And it's like, dude, I like American people. Like I was raised in this culture. I was raised around people who think like me, I like the way that we think. And I like every time I go to another country, I have appreciation for that culture, but it's not my culture, you know? And so it's like, it's a very like, and that's the thing. It's like, everyone's like, oh, every episode of freedom is the same. It's like, no, it's not. Like listen, maybe the way that they're setting up every episode is a somewhat similar situation. There's this sword demon, there's this new demon who's like, like patrolling a road and destroying everything up in the Northern Plateau. But the lessons and the messages are always different every episode. They're always profound. And people are like getting upset that the slice of life anime is doing slice of life shit. I saw comments like that. Like what are we like, it's like, it's not a shonen. Freeman's not a shonen. It's not fucking like, we don't need a fucking war arc. Like it's episodic and it's allowed to be episodic. I think it's both sides. I think it should be okay for someone to be like, I don't jive with freerun. This is just not my type of anime. I'm not into slice of life. If you're not into slice of life, 100%. Yeah, but I also think it's funny when people, like I saw a TikTok where I was like, we got one good fight this episode and it was so short. And it's like, dog, you put on freerun. Like what? Like, freerun has one, like, well, I guess two, if you count the dragon and Stark, but freerun versus freerun and Stark versus the dragon are like the two major fights in freerun. And those are great because they're outliers. Like I'm not coming to freerun for fights. But it's the same way for like delicious in dungeon, right? Like it's like, oh, hey, like you're putting on a show about cooking. Well, delicious in dungeon is different. That one's more fast paced and has like more shit going on. And it's funnier. Like freerun is a very like tame. It's very like subtle and like slow. Like anyone who's like freerun's not slow, you're wrong. It's like slow cinema is a genre of movies. And not that freerun is that. Because slow cinema is like, literally, we're gonna show an eight minute long uncut shot of a guy walking through the forest from point A to point B. But like to say freerun isn't slow is like incorrect. And I think the creator of freerun will be like, no, this is a slow paced show. Yeah. I saw a segment recently, like a thing where like David Lynch, somebody was like, like he was like directing and somebody's like, hey, should we cut down on the time of the scene? And he like takes his headphones off and he's like, fucking why is everyone, like why does it matter how long the scene is kind of situation? And I feel like that's the same way with freerun. It's like, hey, listen, I feel like freerun kind of unfortunately suffers from popularity. Or it's like, oh, a bunch of people who probably wouldn't watch slice of life, watch freerun, because it's like, oh, it's the number one anime of the season. And what's so funny is I feel like the best true slice, like the most popular true slice of life. Cause I wouldn't even call freerun a true slice of life. Like it has a lot of shown in elements. There's too many good fights. There's a fight every episode. That's very shown in ask. The most popular slice of life of all time, in my opinion, is either Apotheon Diaries. It's Kaguya-sama Love is War. Kaguya-sama Love is War or Nana. Those are like my three most popular like. Was it your three most popular? What does that even mean? Oh, it's just like what I- It's either objectively most popular or not objectively most popular. I have no idea if those are the three most popular. I just say like- You assume they are. In my mind in terms of how often they're talked about, those are the three most popular slice of life. And a lot of people would say, oh, Nana's not. It's a fucking, it's a Uri, not a Uri. It's a fucking, what's the, a she? Nope, what's the opposite of shonen? Shota. Shota, there it is. Maybe, right? It's, it's not a slice of life- Shojo. Shojo. I just always assume whenever you say something with confidence. That I'm wrong. I could be led down the path of a cult in a fucking instant. Then you could shojo. No, I assume you're right. Oh, I see. You say it with confidence. I'm like, you got it. I got you. You got it, king. But yes, so those three are like the most popular. But like for your own, unfortunately, has so many shonen aspects that a lot of shonen bros end up in there like, why am I learning about myself right now? You know? I think there's a lot of people who, like, I like- Cause I don't think, I don't think Freerun's pacing is the deterrent. Like, I don't think it's, I don't think it's, I don't think you can hold Freerun's pacing against it. I think you can. It's just about taste, you know? I think what's happened with Freerun is that it's so popular that a lot of people, like I will admit I'm watching Freerun because it's my job. Yes. And there are things that I can appreciate about Freerun. But because of my taste, it's not like I'm like, if we weren't talking about it weekly, I wouldn't be hyped to watch it each week. It's just not, I don't like slice of life. And it moves slower than the pacing. Thanks for being right in my camera. You're welcome. It moves slower than the pacing of shows I'm used to. But I think because it's so popular and because it becomes such a thing where it's like, if you don't like Freerun, you're a brain-rodded idiot. There are now, like, anyone who talks about anime is like, Freerun's the top of the top, awesome shit. And now season two is out and all of these people who didn't actually like it that much, but said they did because they're content creators are now like struggling to praise it every episode. That's very surprising to me because I've found season two. And even though, like, I'll admit these first four episodes have been like relatively episodic and repetitive. This is a great episode. We still haven't even talked about it. Well, we kind of have, but... I haven't. I really like, all right. So let's talk about the episode itself then. Let's talk about the episode itself. I like, first off, I wrote, this must be to Freerun fans what the Maharaga fight was to JJK in reference to Stark. Or in Stark's date? Yeah. Holy shit, they're doing it? They're doing it? Yeah. I was like, this is the episode of the year to Freerun fans. Yeah. I love them being on a date and I love at the end of the date, Stark being like, did you not have fun on the date? And I was like, oh, and she was like, I was really looking forward to it, but this like, it didn't feel like I was on a date with you. Yeah. And that was also like, oh, and then I loved her being like, all we do is talk about Freerun. Yeah. And I was like, oh, great point. Yes. Stellar point. And then later they talk about her again. And I was like, man, the writing can't help itself. And then she was like, we're talking about Freerun again. And I'm like, yes. Yeah. It was just, the date was just really checking all of the boxes that I wanted from it. It was really sad and poignant. Well, at the end they were like, she's like, I can see you were trying really hard. And that's what matters. Yeah. And that's all I care about. Like even though I wish I got a more authentic side of you, I got you trying, which is what I care about. I said, what makes Freerun good? Question mark. I'm enthralled because, from the top, from the top. Yep. The lips, the teeth. You wanna walk me through one of your vocal warmups here? Go girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle. And then you say it. Go girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle. Go girl girl girl gargoyle. Go girl girl girl gargoyle. Go girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle. Go girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle. Almost. Wow. We had to do that in acting class. It's really embarrassing. Running a little zip zaps up. Yeah, you do zip zaps up? I'll zip up. I don't like that one. I don't get it either. I'm just fucking it's just about, it's about getting your mouth open here. For my vocal warmup, so I go, I have to do this cause lip trills are hard. So lip trills are just. Yeah, but doing this makes it easier. You can't do this. It's because you're a thin lipped bastard. Try it. Oh fuck. It's hard. God damn, God curse these, curse these thin lips of mine. Anyways, so whatever it was, I said what makes Freerun good question mark? I'm enthralled by this simple date because Stark can't do the little things right. Like watching Stark, me like. Stark, Stark. Constantly bring up Freerun. Or constantly like, like, like Fern wants to be called pretty. He wants you like, it was like, oh, like Fern pulls up in her dress and Stark should be like, oh you look good kind of thing. Doesn't. And it's like, ooh. Like if you're like, if you've ever been on a date and you see him missing all of these like fucking quick time events, you're like, ooh. And it's never anything bad, right? It's never anything bad. It's never like, oh, he's not like, oh, you look fat today. But it's like, oh man, watching him miss all of these quick time events, you're like, oh man. It's just like, it hurts you in your soul. Yeah, there's a bit where she's like, we always end up talking about Freerun. And he goes, it's not like there's anything else to talk about. I wrote, what a whiff. What a fucking, like just a penny toss and you just fucking struck out. Yeah, but and then the last half of the episode is the fight and that demon has such a sick design. Yeah. It was a cool fight. And then TikToks of people being like, everyone gushing about JJK while it's getting lapped by Freerun, you're wrong. Freerun has great animation for sure, but like you haven't watched an episode of season three of JJK. JJK in Freerun. It doesn't need to be a contest, but like you're wrong. It's such an apples. And listen, first off, I hate this saying because you can compare apples and oranges. Like you can, you can, I fucking hate this saying because anyone who thinks you can't compare apples and oranges hasn't had a goddamn one. Apple or an apple or a fucking orange. So it's like, oh, hey, one's hard. Yeah. One's hard and one's fucking not. Like it's not, it's not hard to compare the two of them. Anyone who thinks you can't compare them needs to take a bite of a goddamn fruit salad. Yeah. Oh my God, it's everywhere. I don't understand. This is incomprehensible. But like JJK and Freerun are so fundamentally different. And like Freerun is like artistic in a way that is like, oh, the writing is artistic. And JJK to me is artistic in a way that it's like, oh, the representation of this media is artistic. Like it's like, it's more of a like, like Freerun is like, oh, the story that's being told is relatively profound. And the story that's being told with JJK isn't relatively profound, but the way that's being represented is. JJK is doing such ambitious and like artsy shit with its animation. This episode, this whole season, like they're getting really experimental and ambitious. Yeah. And it's so cool. And Freerun is like very well animated. Again, this is not a comparison that needs to be made but people are making it for no reason. You can enjoy both of them individually. They're very different properties. They're both well animated, but like Freerun is like just has a lot of frames, you know? Like where is JJK is doing really interesting and crazy stuff with its like camera angles and its direction and stuff. So adding so much. We're moving on to JJK. If there's any, if you had any doubts about what we're doing, we're moving on to JJK. Episode four of season three, I think. They're adding so much shit. Yeah. No, episode five of season three. Yes, they're adding so much shit and it's awesome. That entire Keerara fight against like between Megami, Pandan, Keerara, very different than it is in the manga. And it's awesome. So like in the manga, so you know how at the end of the Keerara fight, so basically this fight, the entire episode revolves around Megami basically being like, hey, Keerara, I want to talk to Hakari. And in order to talk to him, like you're going to be the best indicator that we are good people. So it's like, hey, if you could let us like go talk to Hakari, that'd be awesome for all of us kind of situation. And so she's talking, like they're all talking. And then like Megami's like, well, she doesn't believe me because like fucking he's like, well, Gojou's been sealed. Did she hit some with a- Right, yeah, for sure. There's been so many great memes out of JJK. The season has been incredible. But like they all battle against each other. And like that sequence where Keerara throws her coins and then like teleports to them kind of situation, all added. Megami jumping into a car so he can tank all of the debris also added. In the manga, he just tanks it. In the manga, all of the debris just crushes him and he just comes out of it completely fine. Dude, can I be honest? Can I tell you the truth of the truth? Yeah. This is maybe my favorite episode of JJK ever. It's awesome. This is so good. This is the best episode in my opinion. Because not only is the fight great, but like the storytelling's great, the character development's great, Yuji has an outrage. I like Yuji for the first time ever. He's just eating a car, he's punches. Well, he's like, I'm a cog. And like, he's like, I don't give a shit. Like I'm an underdeveloped protagonist and that is my role. And I'm like, whoa. Yeah. Also Megami, aura farms like a fucking profession. Talking about, you're talking about his fucking ab reveal, which is they gave him the most fucking yowie scalp to sculpt abs I've ever seen in my entire life. You know what's crazy? I made that statement having forgotten about his ab reveal. I'm not even talking about that. I just fucking just like polished, clean, Abercrombie model circa 2008 fucking just sculpt abs. I'm talking about fucking the dude going to take a phone call or going to light a cigarette and Megami's just behind him and puts him in like a triangle guillotine. I can see him go. Dude, him being able to hide in people's shadows is my favorite part about the 10 shadows technique. It's awesome. It's just like him doing like UFC assholes. Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah, him in the car is great. But he's just hoping they don't reach him. Yeah. Him also throwing a bunny to Panda and Panda tossing it down to the spot to touch it. Yeah. Also added. Not how it goes in the manga. Panda just gets blasted away by Kiraura in the manga. And like Megami has to I don't remember exactly how he does it, but Panda is not involved at all in the anime. Oh, crazy. Or in the manga. Yeah. The power system is so silly. Kiraura's curse technique is well known. Kiraura and Takari's curse techniques are well known as being the most complicated in the entire story. They're just so much when they don't need to be. I really thought her power system was she like tags things and whoever has matching tags will either get attracted or repel. Or a pulse. Yeah. Magnets. No. It's you fucking need to know the Southern Cross and you need to go from star to star in order to progress to the final star, which is the thing that she's trying to protect. The odds of someone knowing what the Southern Cross are, it's like bullshit Megami wins this. Because otherwise... Because like Supermo, his sister brought him out to go fucking stargazing once. Otherwise, well, that on top of the fact that there are a trillion other constellations. I understand. Infinite constellations, technically. Mean Takari should never lose a fight. And the fact that... Kiraura. Kiraura. And the fact that someone figured it out on their first try. Yeah. She should have just pulled out a gun and been like, all right, never mind. I have fucking to pull the Rio and just fucking grease them. That's what's so funny. A lot of people don't realize how powerful Kiraura's curse technique is. No one would know that. No one would ever figure it out in a million years. No one minus Megami is cracking the code of like, hey, fucking like all she needs is she can fucking mark people with her eyes. With her eyes in cursed energy. Goku wouldn't beat her. He never figured it out. He would never figure it out. He doesn't know what the fucking Southern Cross is. There's no Southern Cross on his planet. I think she outpowered scales literally everybody. Everyone. They don't know. Because she can't fucking close the distance here. She literally has the infinite that Gojo has unless you understand how the Southern Cross works. And they have to go spot the spot, the spot, the spot, and then you get it. He also figures that out like it's nothing. Yeah. It's all bullshit that he wins. Shout out to Tsukumo, his sister. But even the spot to spot to spot thing is ridiculous. Also, like Panda was like, what if there's like five or seven or whether six or seven. I hope not. Yeah. Like if there were, he'd be fucked. Yeah. More or less. That's the exact point that they raise. It is very funny because it's like, this, the manga did a way worse job of explaining it than the anime. And a lot of anime fans are still like, I don't know how this works. And it's like, dude, they explained to you seven times. Right. Yeah. It's insane. They beat you over the head with it so you understood how Kiraurus abilities worked. I mean, it's silly, but like I get it. Yeah. It's the like he calls it a stamp race or something. That must be some either old man. So much of stamps. Yeah. Fucking. I don't fucking know. It's like an old man game or a Japanese game. Yeah. But yeah, it's like this constellation and there's essentially an order in which you need to like get to. Exactly. There's checkpoints. The fight was sick. Yeah. Hikari beating the piss out of Yuji was cool and him being like, I'm a cog. I just do what the foundation needs me to do. Yes. Was really sick. You know what I loved from this episode? They referred to Kiraura. They them. They them pronouns. Isn't that whole time? Isn't that weird though? Was it going to be she, her? It should be. Yes, of course. But like it's like, it should be like she, her right. I guess it is more progressive to run a day them because there are so many fans ignoring Canon and being like, no, here are her. Kiraura, Kiraura. There are so many fans ignoring Canon being like, no, she's just she's a woman from birth. She's not trans, isn't that? So I guess running a day them is then like, all right, well, here are their pronouns. Have you seen the sequence? There's a manga sequence that unfortunately wasn't added into the anime. And it's just right here. It's been it's been traveling around the internet. But it's just right here where Hikari hates dudes, hates dudes. And so there's a manga panel where we see Hikari basically year by year softening up to the idea of Kiraura. So Hikari is like back to back with the the male version of Kiraura. He hates dudes. He just doesn't like guys. He doesn't like guys. And so it's like, as we see, obviously, Kiraura going through her, you know, her. What did you try to grab? I don't know. Oh, you don't. As we see Kiraura going through her transition, like Hikari is getting more and more softened to the idea of her. And so that's a very important gender affirming panel that happens in the manga doesn't happen in the anime, unfortunately. But yes, so great episode from JJK. Incredible episode. Yeah, I loved it. This is my favorite episode of JJK ever. Wow. It's so good. Good. It's just really good. Megami's so sick. It's good from here on out. Listen, a lot of people say that these are the two greatest arcs of manga ever stacked back to back. It's the Shibui incident and the Kuling games are genuinely outside of. And I genuinely believe this. There is only and this is I'm posing this question to you as well. So the Shibui incident in the Kuling games, you haven't read either of them. The only two manga arcs back to back that I believe could ever compete. It's going to be some hunter, hunter shit. No. Oh, no. Wow. I believe the Kuling game are not the Kuling games. I believe the land of waves arc and the Chunin exams are the two arcs that could possibly compete. Chunin exams is just so much better than the land of waves. If you don't understand Naruto or any of the things happen. Yeah, of course, you could have that. I mean, yes, I can see how you the ignorant and come to that opinion. Yes, Chunin exams happens immediately after land of waves. The fucking. Ergy, Mar the Kona crush doesn't come between them. Stop. It's like a commercial. What sound like a Hershey kiss commercial? Where they are? They're always fucking. I see what you're doing because it's all basketball players. What? You never know. Was that a Hershey kiss? And it was moving immediately for what there was like five basketball players. They were that not moving immediately. It was like Kevin Durant. All what does this have to do with her? I'm working over here. Stop yelling at me. I'm so. Chunin exams. It goes land of waves. Chunin exams. Konoa crush search for soon out of Ark. So scary to walk to arcs that bang. The two best manga arcs back to back. Oh, by the way, I want everyone to know here while we're talking about manga arcs, I am officially on chapter. I'd say Vinland sagas got two bangers back to back. I don't know the prologue in the farmland saga. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's that's pretty good. Yeah, it's like a perfect manga up until after the farmland. Because then they're like America and you're like, all right, this is bomb breaks on America here. I don't know. I just it turns into like the tone shifts. It becomes more of a comedy. He lightens the fuck up. Thorfinn. Yeah, I fucking. It's like, all right, listen, I get even a slave and also a child soldier. And then he's like, fucking, what if I got into physical comedy? You're like, can you go back to the stages? Yeah, can you go back to this fucking sad shit? I'm on chapter 36 of Kogra botching for all of these of the all of those of you wondering at home. Did. What do you know who voices Hikari in the English dub? Oh, don't look it up. I hasn't happened yet. Yeah, but the the voice actor is well, we're only two episodes behind rice pappinbrook. No, flipping the fucking table. He'd be better. Is it Alex Lee better? Oh, so it's it's it's worse than Bryce. Yeah, it's a great. Why I've shared emails with. OK, I just wanted to I don't I'm not going to I'm not going to slander Bryce, I like a lot of his roles. I also dislike a lot of his roles. It's a great voice actor horribly miscast. It's not Alex Lee because he'd also be good. Xeno Robinson. No, OK, good in that vein. It's that bad. AJ Beckles. No, OK. I don't know. It's first of wasn't there controversy that people thought Hikari was supposed to be black. He a lot of fan arts drew him as black because of his hair. He's Italian as fuck. Well, I figured out his hairstyle. He's Italian. You think so. He's so Italian. Just like big, boofy hair. Yeah, big, just slicked back. It's died. It's for sure died. Of course, he's Japanese. Big, gel. They don't just naturally. OK, of course, you're right. Big in the same way that Goku's Mexican. This Hikari is Italian and keep up, apparently. Big, slick, backed, like hard as a rock, bulletproof hair. Yes, he wears a white tank top the whole time. Oh, he's got a tiny, thin little mustache. This is Italian. This dude grew up being like, ma, where's the macaroni? Hey, ma, you making the sauce or not? Hey, I got some I got some mother's tomatoes for you to add in there. That dude's helping Nona cook her 40 jars of sauce every Sunday. Every single goddamn Sunday. Yeah, one more guess on who the voice actor is. Everyone's upset by it. They all think the voice actor is great. They're like no shade to the voice actor, but why the hell would he voice him? Abby Trot. Give a real guess. I've named all the voice actors. Just say like a character, you know, Matthew Mercer. Mercer, Mercer, Matthew Mercer could do it. Fuck in. Oh, no, I lost his name. Who voices Sasuke? I don't fucking know. You're Yuri Lowenthal. Yuri Lowenthal is fucking Hikari. I could maybe see it. I don't. You don't like it. So he's so high pitched and soft and like the characters. He's good as Sasuke, but that's because Sasuke is a child. He does Spider-Man, Peter Parker in a fucking Spider-Man games. Oh. He's just he just it's a weird. I feel like if anything, you're with all should do Miles Morales. Similar electric abilities. Miles Morales is black, but he's got he's got lightning abilities. I guess. He's got. I don't think that's how we should be casting. You'll see abilities. We should be casting based on if they voice electric based. He's going to fucking he's going to be. He's going to he voiced the two Dory is a bird screaming. Yeah, it's Yuri. That's good. That was great for all the headphone users out there. Yeah, Yuri Lowenthal. It's going to be weird. People are not excited about it. Zeno Robinson would be a similar vibe, though. But that's things that have a fucking first off. Zeno Robinson. Wait, no, AJ Beckles is okra. OK, AJ's. I know. But like fucking all I'm saying is that I can do deep. They there's a tease of Yuri as him. Oh, and it's like it's not it. Let me see. Listen, as somebody who's watching week by listen, JJ K is never a show. I'm going to watch in depth. I'm sorry. I was just I don't like the dub of any of JJ K. I don't like the dub of any of JJ K. It's also not simuladubbed. If something is simuladubbed, I will grit my teeth through the dub. Oh, everyone's upset about it. I want to see the tease. There was a tease. Where is it? Chat, what are the chances are of throwing this glass bottle back? It's an awful idea. Into the refrigerator case. Worst case scenario, I shattered the bottle. Yeah, my dogs have to walk over broken glass. That's the best case scenario. Back. Danny. I'm the one. Don't throw a bottle at me. I'm going to. I'm not going to throw it at you. You're aiming at me. I'm going to throw it at me all the time. I fucking you. Don't throw it at me. Always pointed, Danny. Don't throw it in the bag. Good. Too easy. Toss. Too easy. Should we get these games? Who fucking games? No, we have sentenced to be a hero to talk about. Do we have to? I loved it. Do we have to? I loved it. I love soft. He's super funny. So Salve is like a morally guided serial killer based off his instincts. I was a fool to assume he'd have a gun. Of course, it's a lightning spear. God, they animate the fuck out of this show. Kind of sad to see it get more animation than fire forced. Pelmeri's design was cool. You can't tell me that no gal is the main character of the show. Why turn down 2000 soldiers? Maybe Zylo belongs to that family. Are we doing fire force thing here? Humans trying to merge with monsters. Cool. All right. Yeah, that covers it. That's it. I was like, good episode. Good episode. I love this show. I'm such a glazer of this show. Good show. Great show, Ethan. I want to do our god. Damn games. Do you want to do the one you don't know about first? No, no, let's keep that. Let's keep that for two seconds here. And we'll do our we'll do the first game that was sent here, our three year anniversary game. And then maybe we'll do the Buzzfeed slash thing next next week. OK, and then we'll do Tom Chuck of Fuck the weekend after that. OK, all right. Game me up. Fucking I'm gaming you up. All right. So today we're playing who said that anniversary edition. Also were drunk. Also were drunk. It's been three years. So do you remember your insane quotes below is a list of crazy things one or the other of boys has said over the duration of the talk is anonymous. Your task is to guess if Nick said it or if Danny said it. Just a string of slurping. It's like, please, Nick. What do you mean? One of us said, see Kyle. Who said this? All right. Do not scroll answers under each individual question. Who said this? There are people in my discord who said you give off bottom energy. So I must be me because you don't look in your own discord. It's fair. Yeah. That's fair. You don't look in discord. I don't have a discord anymore. I'm the only one who has a you can at me. What do you mean? You have a you can at me. Yeah, you can at me if you want. You can tag me and you check every single time. No, well, that's why I don't mind that people do it. Because and or bang is a way to drink if you lose your dope. Oh, yeah, fine. Whatever I win, I won this one. That's me. I don't. But what if I say you would if I say it was also your discord? Oh, fair. Three, two, one. Rock, paper, scissors when we tie. All right. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. I don't like how alike we are. I don't like it. I feel like your brain is mine sometimes and it scares me. I'm so locked in. You can't even believe it. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Fuck. Snipped, bitch. All right. Oh, no, I had to drink a beer. We don't know if I'm right, idiot. Nick, an episode three. No, let's let's go. Wow, yeah. Which means you have to take a drink. Is that what that means? Because you already drank and I tricked you into it with my skill and courage. I feel like that's a real. I feel like now that we understand how the game works. Yeah. Crack another one of those bat laries. Punch a hole in the side with your sigh. Shock on it. Have a panic attack in front of 250 people because you were about to fucking spew. Have you ever talked about that? Have I? I don't know. I shot in a beer colossal con. My second beer of the con. Somebody threw me a somebody threw me a beer. A shotgun did. Immediately went down the wrong pipe. Love shotgunning beer. Love, love, love shotgunning beer. And so after I got finished, finished, to finish the beer, threw it to the side. Big uproarous applause. Immediate cold sweats. Yeah. You. Hey, Nick, fucking alarms are going off. You have to throw up. You got to puke right now. Abandon all hope. Can't do it. Yeah. Everyone has a camera out. I instantly saw it. Like Nick was white as a piece of paper. Yeah. Sweating buckets. And I was like, what's happening to you? Right? I was like, I like told you, I was like, calm down because I thought you were just too excited. No. It was no after that. You're like, I almost threw up in front of all of these people and the thought of doing that gave me a panic attack. I'm sitting there. I'm like, thanks for popping all these bits off me, Danny. I'm just like trying my best to still be funny guy, Nick, while we're reacting to, I don't know, fucking Steven Universe or some bullshit. And I was fucking, I was just sitting there, literally cold sweats as I was inches away from puke. Threw up. Yeah, it was bad. That would be awesome. Who said this? Oh my god, I have to change everything about myself. I can't look like this. I can't be this volume. There's like six pairs of slippers in this room. We have to clean. We are cleaning. The fuck? Is this from your baby monitor? Oh my god, I have to change everything about myself. I can't look like this. I can't be this volume. There's like six pairs of slippers in this room. We have to clean. We are cleaning. This can't be me. This has to be you. It's got to be me because we've only recorded in my room. Why would I give a shit? Why would that? Honestly, that's fair. It's got to be me. I think it's you. Ready? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. So bad. I can fucking mentally dominate it. I'm getting fucking. You're getting endombed. All right, hold up. Is he right? Danny. So I take this is fucked. How is this happening? It's got to be you. Danny, finding out that Makayla Toph would be coming onto the pod. That's what it is. That's what it was. That's terrible news. That's great context for that. That is faith. That's because I was literally I surprised. I can't be this volume. You were so funny. With fucking I surprised you with hate. Toph is coming on the show and it was like the next episode. You're like, we can't do it here. We can't be this volume is so sad. Oh, I watch brings me so far back. I watch clips of that and I I can't believe I met Toph looking like that. Yeah, short hair. Imagine 110 pounds on a couch. Just leaned back fading into a pillow. Insane. Great. God, we've come so far. And how we how we text Makayla about her fucking dating preferences. Makayla is going to be at my fucking wedding. Yeah, who said this? Invite me to Dorkfest 2024. That could be anybody. That could be that could be you. I think I was like Sarah's gone for the week and you're like, invite me to Dorkfest. Dude, right arms are going crazy on Dorkfest. We have to do three to one. Who do we think it is? Because now we're going to this is you. All right, good. I think it's you. OK, answer. Danny also, Nick mentioned he'd be jorking it. Well, Dorothy was gone. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, dog. Hork in that peen. Like, listen, listen, you want you want to see me alone in a hotel room? You don't want to see Nick with me in a hotel room. Hey, Nick, I nickel by hotel rooms for us and only one bed. Dude, King bed big enough for two bodies this size. That's what I should have sued you for. You fucking suit me for what? Buying a movie, buying flight risk and getting and getting cock shamed by our goddamn me and Danny shared a room. We didn't even share a room in Vegas. What means they were shared a bed. We did in Vegas. Yeah, we said that's what I'm talking about. What are you talking about? That's why we watched flight risk. Yeah, we got Nick was like, we're going to Vegas. It's a work thing. You have to come and I'm like, OK. And then it's like, hey, I accidentally got a hotel room with one bed in it. You have to sleep in it because Amos, his friend, is sleeping on the couch. Yeah, I was spit on the floor. And I was like, OK, so I have to sleep in a bed with drunk Nick. And then it was also drunk. Danny, he was drinking as well. Don't fucking don't let him lie to you. And then it is like, let's rent a movie. It's twenty dollars. And then it rents a twenty dollar bad movie flight risk. Falls asleep halfway through. So it was a bad movie. I'm running bits at no one. Yeah. Awful. Yeah. Anyway, and then immediately we went downstairs after our friend, Edison lost like six thousand dollars gambling. It was like, hey, can you comp us a dinner? A thousand dollar steak dinner. And she was like, I can comp you this fucking gay born. You ordered to your hotel room and we had to explain to her. No, we didn't buy born. We've had the Mark Wahlberg film flight risk because we like bad movies. Who said this? Yes, I do have a best boy, Sarah, because she's going to kill the president. You know, that was me. That was me. That was 100 percent me. Let's go. Answer, Nick, discussing Sarah going on an animal rights activist protest at the White House. That was Biden, the Biden. To. That's so funny. I was Biden, but it was Sarah. Sarah had her fucking neck around his throat. I was a Biden. Oh, my God. Both of us saying that is so funny. It was the Biden administration who said this. I'm a bad climber and a passionate lover. It's going to take a while. OK, a tall woman. That's what we're talking about. Fuck. That's you. I think it's me. That's you. 100 percent. Oh, two to two. But now if it's Nick, I drink, I drink. I'm aware. Fuck. God. Damn it. I hate when I'm funny because you're misogynistic. I hate what do you mean? I hate what I'm funny or that I remember. Discussing monster smash or pass and he's tight in form. God. I never you ever just hear a really funny joke. Someone someone like, hey, the first thing you said to me was this. You're like, oh, God, damn it. That's funny. I do that at cons all the time. People come up to me and just quote me. Someone quoted my rant I had against you where I was like, gas is 11 on ironic dollars. Yeah, Steve from Colossal Con did that. And I was just like, that's funny. That's a funny way to say something. Because we don't I didn't realize it was fucking me. People don't remember how much we immediately forget after saying. Instantly. Incidentally, I am drunk most podcast. What are we? So if this is three years in and we record every single week, we are on episode like 160. Three of them we've been drunk. That's so funny that you think it's 160. How many weeks are in a year? 52 and three. So 156 were four weeks behind our three year anniversary. Do the math. Well, I just did. It's so funny. It's so funny. I'm slinging. I'm slinging. I'm I can't say I can't. Danny, I can't say slingering. Slingering is incredibly hard to say when your tongue is the size of a baseball. I'm slinging it. Slingering it. Oh, I am slinging it. God, I'm funny. I'm opening a portal and putting my jacket. Never anyway. God, I've never been less attractive. Can you believe there have been instances where I've been drunk and like people find me attractive? I'm like this all the time at bars at parties. I'm like, I'm slinging it. Venom with a ballpoint pen and she's like, please stop explaining M and M lyrics to me. And you're like, you're going to get this while sober, bitch. I'm like, you don't understand. He hates his mom. You know, people are mean about his infant daughter, so we had to fucking dox their properties. Who said this? I just can't believe you weren't like, oh, his dick looks lumpy today. Weird. He has three of them. We can figure this out, right? Hold up. Hold up. I just can't believe you weren't like, oh, his dick looks lumpy today. Weird. He has three of them. What could that be? Who's got three dicks, Danny Phantom? Um, you, I guess I don't care. I'm going to say me. No, I'm going to say you. Don't say me. I'm going to say you because neither of us fucking know. The answer is Danny, the dicks were bananas. Oh, it's your fucking. Wait, one more time. Run it back. I've seen this clip. I just can't believe you weren't like, oh, his dick looks lumpy today. Weird. He has three of them today. It's your fucking fruit episode. It's your goddamn fruit episode. I can't be wrong on this. I can't even feel my lips right now. You know, it's funny is that every single time I've ever gotten Danny drunk, he's so he's talked about how he can't feel his lips. That's what happens. It's the first thing to go on you. It's fucking you lose your lips. Who said this? Oda is the Andrew date of the appers. I think that's you. There's no, there's no way that was me. That's you. There's no that's you. That's you to a fucking team. That's you. I like it. We're both like, I would never say that. I would never go. The Andrew date of the appers. Fuck, that's if that is me, that's an early O.A. Shit. That's that's that's a year point five. I'm also embarrassed of early O.A. Every now and then I wake up in a cold sweat and like, I can't believe I said that on the podcast. That's going to do. There was an entire there was an entire like time in O.A. where I had to climb under the desk to get to my mic. Like I just set up the fucking I just set up all the cameras and then climb to my desk. Any time you've ever seen my ass as I climbed under an L desk, disregard those tanks. It's like that fucking clip where it's like, and I'll keep cranking it. That's not enough info, right? Do you know what I'm saying? 100% all fucking listen. Or when I go back every time I see every time I see us in that Monrovia house and you talking about, hey, listen. If there and if I lived in a world where there was no Italian food and fucking somebody was selling breadsticks on their fingers, we're talking about fucking B stars. Yeah, I'd eat people. Both of you at the exact. Fuck. How? I don't. I simply don't know the context of that clip at all. That's wild. It's an unreal park. Boda is the intro to the app. Is it the same time? It's an unreal bar. Go on. Next. What about Cappy? Caprica, Capricorn, that one. Caprica. That's you. That's 100% you talking about Kila. I'd put my life on that. I'd put my life on that. Being you talking about Kila. I already locked in you, but you're right. That's so funny. Attempting to pronounce Karabi. Go for Hunter. I love you know the God. What about Kappy? Capricorn, that one. Caprica. Oh, good. All right. We're almost at the bottom here. Who said this? So we're just groping a wiener and the tip of it is so hard. Wait, so we're just groping a wiener and the tip of it is hard. It can't be, please. If it's me, lie. I don't. All right. I mean, I'm going to say me. I'm going to say me. Yeah, I'll say me then. You're going to say you. I think you're right. I think Nick discussing what's in the box anime. I know it's me. No, it's me. Yeah, but you said it to you. Oh, every time we get drunk into a game, you do this. Get fucked on, idiot. Discussing what's in the box. I'm getting fucked on. Yeah, I thought I'm in the mattress. Who said this? You want to know a fun fact about the peers? Biggest penis, the body race show in the animal kingdom. Oh, it's tape ears. Ready? Should we 123? 123. Yeah, I'm the it's a fucking because I didn't know that. You didn't. Yeah, because it's a classic. That's a classic Nick fact. I'm not gonna drink because Nick, this is wrong. It's barnacles. You said barnacles have the biggest penis, the body ratio in the entirety of the animal kingdom. That's crazy. All right, I know a barnacle is an animal. More like a barnosy dog. I'm fucking hammered. Got chat. That's the end of our game, which brings us to your game. My game. Do you want to know what it is? I I'm I'm I'm assuming even if I say no, you're about to tell me because we're going to play it. All right, here we go. I'll read it. If you say the words Elizabeth Connor, I'm going to stab you in the throat before you can finish your story. Happy three year anniversary. Consider this my gift to you two for continuing this incredible pod for three years. I had Nick's mom, Elizabeth, play a game of anime, smash or pass. It is the boys job to guess which character Elizabeth chose to smash and which she chose to pass bonus points. If you guess her reason why finished the game this time, you cowards. I can't believe I read that. I'm so drunk. How? Yeah, it's scary, isn't it? It's scary when it's your mom on the line. How the fuck? This podcast has just turned into a fucking saw movie. I don't know. Hold up. Time out. My mother does not watch the podcast. They named her. She and that's what concerns me because I feel like they might have actually found her. Oh, my mom doesn't have Facebook. My mom, my she does not have she does not watch the podcast. The only way you could contact her is either email or fucking. You know, it's crazy. I wasn't going to tell this to you, but Stank texted me and was like, hey, last time we did this, you were like, I can't believe no one consulted me about this and I felt kind of bad. Should we I'm consulting you now. Should we run this by Nick? And then I just sent him the meme of Captain America being like, no, I don't think I will. How the fuck did anyone reach my mother lives? You're giving a lot of info. It's getting easier and easier to find her. No, there's no way anyone found her. I simply refuse to believe anyone found her. I mean, I don't think she has Facebook. I mean, she has Facebook. I am not friends with her. I have. Should we play this game to my knowledge? I have never said her name on the podcast. That's even more damning, then, because they named her. Should we say play the game? No way she would. Well, she would text me. Should we play the game? We can see if the answers are in line with what your mom would say. I have to call my mother right now. I have to call her. I have to go on. It's fucking. But you can't have her help you with this game. You just have to be like, come on. Just have to be like, is it true? That you were consulted? Dude, I can't feel my teeth. Was it Nova Cane? It's 10 o'clock. She's Nova Cane. Hi, mama. Quick question. Filming my podcast right now live. Did somebody reach out to you and ask you to answer some questions for the podcast? Yes. And how did they find you? I have no idea. Why are you going to concern her? Wait, hold on. How do they? How do they? Wait, no, hold up. Hold up. Why are you going to make her nervous? No, no, no, no, I'm not making her nervous. Danny, shut up. Shut up. I mean, how did they how do they reach out to you? You want to know the truth? No, I don't I don't I don't need your answers. I don't need your answers. Just how did they find you? I threw your sister and neither of you. Oh, my God, neither of you told me. What? You're not supposed to know. It is a surprise. I know nothing. I know nothing. And I don't want you to tell me anything. All right. I love you so much. All right. I'm going to go. I'm going to go grip. I'm going to grip my teeth through this. All right. All right. Bye bye. All right. Bye. I wouldn't even think to do that. That's genius. That's horrifying. We can't piss off Sean. Can never piss Sean off. I don't even know. I don't know. Are you ready to play? I've never felt. Hold up. Time out. Time. Time out. We got to. I'm going to. I don't want to remember this. Shut your mouth. Shut the fuck up. Shut the shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. All right. Go. OK. Who did your mom choose to smash? Alistair from Hasman Hotel or Vox from Hasman Hotel? All right. I'm going to say Alistair because he has a human face. She wouldn't see any appealing box. He's a TV for it. I. I. I will say the image shown. They're both. Are they both humans? Are they both humans? No, they're both showing a lot of chest, but Vox has glowing nipples. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ. Oh, my God. I never thought this would come back to me. People think we're like playing up a character. And I would think that too if I was just viewing it. You don't understand how awful of a game this is. I don't. I never. I genuinely thought she was protected. I did not think of my sister as a weakness. I tagged her. I tagged. Oh, I was so fucking stupid. I tagged her in a story. Oh. Oh. Alistair because he has a fucking. God damn it, Alistair. Yeah, that's the one. OK, if you're wrong, you have to drink. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. She goes neither. I would have to close my eyes and take it from behind with either one of these dudes. No interest. I was nervous when I saw neither. I was like, oh, this these are going to be lame answers. Oh, Danny. I did not. I kept reading Danny. I listen because here's the thing. Me. Oh, you got to take a drink. You OK. You're right. You're right. Oh, my goodness. Um, we have a different relationship with our mother. We have a different relationship with our mothers. I don't know what kind of relationship you think I have with my mom. She has led you astray based on my previous. Oh. Oh, my fucking OK. Lovely. All right. Yeah. First. Take a drink. We got a lot of these to get through. I'd like for everyone to know that I am a mother's boy. I have only my I was raised by my mom. You're a mama's boy by default. I was a mama's boy. That's fine. That's fucked. And you know what's fun. I'm in a sensitive spot right now. Wow. Wow. I I'm starting to understand your seat over here. I am empathy. Yeah, I needed to feel this to have empathy. Wow. I'm going to take a drink. I'm going to take seven to nine drinks. Take a drink and I'll read you the next ones. Did you say did mommy? Did mommy say mommy say did Nick's mom smash Muzon from Demon Slayer or endeavor from my hero academia. Fuck me. Oh, my God. This is a good pair. Those are both people that she would sleep with. First off, I'd like for everyone to know that I don't know what I don't know what my father looks like. I heard he's deeply Italian and I got my big ass head from him. And my sister's dad is also I'll give you this if you're deeply Italian. If you're right, I'll drink. Love that. Yeah, love that. She's going to say endeavor because of the muscles. She's she for the entirety of my life. She dated a guy who built our entire house. He's in pretty good shape. His name was Jeff. Name it Jeff. And he he had some muscles. He was strong. I feel as though my mom would like a strong. He might be too much of like a like like a pretty boy presenting. Muzon's got that suit on kind of like debonair fashion. That's not her type. Oh, endeavor. I'm sorry. Endeavor. She's still going to choose endeavor because who are you talking about? Oh, my. Oh, I'm drunk. Leave me alone. I have to. Like I said, all of this gone tomorrow. Yeah, wrap up. Wrap up the explanation. This is a bad tick talk. Endeavor. I'm going with endeavor because my mom's big into muscles, big into people in fitness. OK, the answer is Muzon. You know nothing about your mother. You should be ashamed and drink too much heat. I'm hot enough. Plus, the hot guy looks like he has man boobs. Hate that. And he looks too macho. They'd be a little too rough. I guess I'd have to pick Michael Jackson. I prefer sensitivity in bed. What a cultured woman to pick up on the fact that Muzon is Michael Jackson. That's wild. Your mom's a natural born weeb. Also, prefer sensitivity in bed. I just like to reiterate. Go ahead and drink. I'm fucking I had two high noons. What is this? A high noon. What's happening? You have to talk or I'll keep talking. OK, I don't know how you added exposition while I played this game with you. I don't I don't I don't know how to expound on the fucking answers of. I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to kill myself live on TikTok. Wow. Tomorrow, February 10th, live fucking. Wow. I execution of me. I didn't get to that until like the last couple. Thank you. I do appreciate that my mother identified the fact that Muzon is loosely based on Michael Jackson does really give a different feeling to the fact that I was raised on Michael Jackson's music and that when Michael Jackson died, I was leaving my friend's house. And the first thing my mom told me when she picked me up is like, hey, honey, I have something to tell you. Michael Jackson is dead. So. And that being one of the first memories I have as a child is very interesting based on the fact that I now know my mom would want to smash Michael Jackson. So really thought it was going to be endeavor, too much heat, but notoriously does deal with. Take a drink. Being too hot. OK. This next one is fucked. This next one is insane to give your mother who opted for neither with a Vox and Alistair. I'll tell you right now. In her defense, it's a furry and a TV. I'll tell you right now. She doesn't say neither for this one. It's the Jaws Titan, the original, which looks like this. I know what it looks like. Yes. Yes. And the Beast Titan. She's going to say the Beast Titan. She's going to say the Beast Titan and she's going to say, oh, I don't know. Because my mom is like my mom's real was until recently. And she got deprogrammed real Republican and the original Jaws Titan. That's a lady. That's a lot. It's long hair. My mom's going to say the Beast Titan because she likes hair. And she's like, oh, it's tall. It's got muscles. I'm going to be stuck. You lock it in. Lock it in. Beast Titan. I prefer doing. You have to read everything. I have to read all three of you. You have to drink because when I'm right three in because when I'm right, you have to drink. I prefer doing hairy beasts to skinny naked ones. Plus their anger management issues there. And. And see now I'll happily drink when you're nice. When you're nice to me, I'll do. Oh, my God. Oh, this is a good one. Because you think your mom won't smash her past women. Then I'm going to. Fuck. I'm going to blow my fucking head off. Up next, we have Renner mon from Digimon. The fucking hot one. The hot Fox. Yeah. The hot Fox one. Or and now I know you're thinking, Nick. Oh, it's not going to be her. That's a furry or Luna from Hell of a Boss. I don't. Sorry. I don't. What did Nick's mom decide to smash Renner mon from Digimon or Luna from Hell of a Boss? If you told me that if I had not called her earlier in this episode and asked if she had answered these questions, I wouldn't have believed that she would have answered these questions based off everything I know about my mother. For sure. Hey, brother, same. That being said, I don't know, Luna, because she looks more like a I feel like that. Right. She's an identifiable thing. I don't rent him on. Rent him on as a. It's a very Digimon looking ass. Motherfucking. Yes, she's going to say some shit about her fucking garter belt or something. Let. Rent him on doesn't wear clothes. I feel at Luna's humanoid. I know, I feel like Luna, even though they're both equal amounts of Fox. Renner, like, I feel like Renner mon's accidentally furry bait. Yes, like there's deniable plausibility. Luna is 100 percent. This was intentional furry bait. And if my mother has opinions about furry bait, I'm I'm I. Well, there's a fair decent chance I'll kill myself. I mind you, Danny, I spared you from some of the some of the worst answers. He's made me from one because I am in the podcast. Renner mon, she looks like a bad bunny who speaks Spanish and gets the job done. Bunnies know how to get it done. That's crazy. What the? I was my mom's a freak. My mom is like my mom. This is why I didn't want this. Why I thought she was protecting my mom's a fucking freak. Drink. Which she chose Renner mon. Right. So she's this is this. When am I allowed to end the podcast? How many how many in do I at least you? I ended it at the last one. There was two more up next. This one's reasonable. I'm going to I'm pulling up yours. I'm pulling up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are five. I was such a good sport. I'm full of the two. You didn't fucking read. I was such a good sport. We're five in coward. Tidnick's mom decided to smash Garu from One Punch Man. Oh, Jesus Christ. Or Trent Ikathon, the mighty nine. This one's not bad. That's not bad. Trent which one? Oh, the fucking Roku, evil Roku. That's not bad. These are handsome men. I'm going to say God damn it. Who would you smash? I feel like my mother. Elizabeth Connor, because apparently all of you know now is 65 years old, 66 years old. I'm going to choose that she went for Trent Ikathon because he's a more age appropriate choice. Garu is a young man. A young man she has no business with. At the rate she should be dating age appropriate men even though she just wanted a road trip recently with somebody who's 20 years or senior or younger. Why keep the Lord dumping about your mom? I don't, Danny. I don't know. I don't. I've never been put in this situation where I had to confront my mother's sexuality. It's tough, isn't it? Oh, it's hard when you're just trying to do a podcast and your mom keeps being like, make me a guest. I don't know. I'm going to say Trent Ikathon because he's got. It's Trent Ikathon. Oh, thank God. David Bowie. No, that means you have to drink. And I do both. I do both. And also you don't get to read. You don't get to read what my mother said about wanting to rub the fucking crotch off David Bowie. David Bowie does not impress. Too busy making himself happy. Wise man with the heavy eyebrows would take the time to know what I want. These are classy. These are classy with just enough for me to understand that it's still awful. Eat stuff. People really don't understand how hard it is being in this position. You don't think it'd be hard, right? Nobody wants to hear about their mom being like, oh, I'd come if I like nobody wants to be like, oh, Trent Ikathon's magic would get me to come. You don't you don't understand when 100,000 people are going to hear your reaction to your mom being like, oh, I'd fucking ride the nose off a mage from my nine. I have a crazy one for you coming up. Like truly this is criminal. This is awful. I almost want to skip it. Do it. Do it. Did Nick's mom smash meagy from parasite? I know me. Or hoody from the owl house? Danny, I'm going to puke. Danny. By the way, Nick is drunk. If this is a tongue-tongue. I'm not kidding. I looked the image of meagy and my mother made me feel like I was. I read the answer. Danny, be fully real with me. Do I want to hear it? Probably not. Danny, is this you only get one of those though? I only got one of those. And we're halfway through. Why is there more for my family? There's not. We're on six of 12. I'd rather get my finger dables pulled out by the base than do four more of these. We're doing all of them. By the way, bad math. We got six more. Hoody or meagy, Nick, do you want the views or not? I'm going to say meagy because more holes. More holes. He's got. He's all eyes. He's all eyes. He's all eyes in a tiny little hand. I'm going to say. All right. All right, meagy. Yeah. Hoody. The worm looks like he could go deep. Two exclamation points. Besides, I don't like too many eyes on me. Although those lips look like they can pleasure us. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. Hey, listen. Everybody want to know my best boy. My best boy this week is the gun. I'm going to put it in my mouth. We have so much more. If anybody wants to know what my news is, my news is that Nick Connor will not be alive to see tomorrow. And here, here, let's go live for love letters. Live for love letters. All right. Let me check in real quick. You can't do my bit earlier than I did. I'm going to show the picture. The picture is going to be a picture of Nick with a shotgun in his mouth trying to figure out how to pull a trigger with his, with his toes here, ladies and gentlemen. All right, cool.
